No One Is Watching Rachel Zoe

According to the ratings, it appears that people have given up on Rachel Zoe. No one is watching the fifth season of her show. Yes, I know. I am shocked that this is its fifth season too. These must be like British seasons that are like five episodes long. I watched Rachel Zoe's show a couple of times during one of its seasons and I didn't find it all that interesting. I did find the fact that she can seem to stand up and function despite never eating anything heavier than a glass of water frightening. I'm not a water guy myself, even mixed in drinks. I have never understood why someone would want to look like a 60 pound Mrs. Roper which is what she wants all of her clients to look like and I hope that the fact less people watch her show than a CW rerun finally gets rid of it for good.

Because she disappeared!

VIPblonde said...

(Raised hand) I watch it! And I absolutely love it!!! One of the few places you can still see runway shows onnTV (ever since CNN cancelled Style with Elsa Klensch in the 90s). I mean, did you see the Vuitton and Chanrl shows last night?! So maj!

FSP said...

Didn't know she had a show...and don't know who she is.

Christopher Cruz said...

If I wanted to watch a vapid bag of bones I'd peer into the rubbish bin at KFC.

Unknown said...

I actually love her show... I agree, it was great to be able to watch the Paris Fashion Week shows on TV. Plus I love her clothes... Although I'm not a size -0 so I don't know if I could actually wear any of them.

crila16 said...

5th season? Really? I thought that it was Season 1 and it hadn't premiered yet. Wow.

Henriette said...

The one time I watched her, she was having this really boring conversation with her gay husband.

LottaColada said...

Raisin Face could easily be confused with Tara Reid's face in that picture.

ljsmed said...

I watch the show also but it's become really annoying. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fashion shows but once she comes on the screen I frequently change the channel. I love fashion as much as anyone but when it becomes a life or death situation I can't watch. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older or whatever but there are so many more things to be concerned about. I've watched every season and this one is really annoying me. Her son is precious though....

Meanie Rhysie said...

Omg! That pic! Scrawny and emaciated with a bloated belly. Horrific!!

eris hilton said...

That reminds me. I'm hungry

SusanB said...

If I wanted to watch a walking corpse, I'd watch Walking Dead.

dia papaya said...

...and no one really cares enough to comment either.

Hehe.

SueRH said...

I thought it was the first season also!

RedHeadMed said...

That picture is horrifying. She needs help.

Bella Inamorata said...

That picture is startling. Someone get that bitch a burger, fries and shake asap

Susan said...

VIPBlonde - OMG. You are such a BravoTV whore. I love it!!! Ha ha.

I've watched her show in previous seasons. I really followed it the season when the storyline was Will She, Won't She Have a Baby? And honestly, I just didn't care. I hate all the snarky people on it, aside from Joey - is he still on it? I mean if he were in my life, he would be my No. 1 gay fo sho. Her assistants all annoy me, and Brad was so melodramatic/mean.

I love me my fashion, but at the end of the day it is just clothing, so I don't understand their melodrama about everything. I do get that this is her business, but from what is shown on the program Rachel and her husband have HORRIBLE business sense, so it's not surprising to me if nobody watches her show and nobody buys her clothing.

VIPBlonde - I totally would watch those runway shows on CNN. And does anybody remember when Style Network actually aired all of them, too. The only thing I see on Style now is Jerseylicious (don't judge me) and Sex and the City reruns. I do wish there was somebody focusing on high fashion. I find the creative process very interesting.

The Original CDAN Reader said...

The Crypt Keeper looks like she has stink breath from stomach acid and ketosis. I watched her show once and I could only take 5 minutes before changing the channel. She was blathering about how a whole loaf of bread was “more chic” than pre-sliced bread. WTF? Was she serious or f*cking w/ us for the cameras? That b*tch doesn’t eat bread.

Anonymous said...

Goodness the woman is really sick and doesn't even know it.

Mama June said...

HAHAHAHAHA @Christopher! ;)

Tempestuous Grape said...

I watch the show and I love it. Regardless of her body issues, I like her style.

Jolene Jolene said...

I absolutely LOVED season 1, but the show gets more and more annoying with every season. Sometimes I put it on mute while I watch the runway shows, then change the channel. Elie Saab was just stunning to watch last night, but her talking made it so much worse.

And is it just me, or is Rodger getting gayer and gayer with every episode?

MISCH said...

Her body is frightening..

car54 said...

She's up against American Idol.

This season the fashion porn has been really good so far--they did NY and Paris fashion week but Rodger and Rachel come off looking pretty jerky. Makes me wonder if they have no editorial control when their own employees are shown rolling their eyes at the stuff they do and say.

VIPblonde said...

@Susan I am a total Bravoholic!! Just about the only show I don't watch on Bravo is Top Chef. I prefer my food shows on Food Network. And Bitchin' Kitchen on the Cooking channel.

And don't feel bad about Jerseylicious, I got sucked in too!

onehotrobot said...

OT: VIP, did you ever watch Fashion Trance? I think it was on Bravo late at night a way back. Like 03/04. I remember I had a job where I got off at 1am and would come home and watch it at maybe 2. It was *just* runway shows - no host or commentary, etc, with trance music for the sound. I miss it. Seriously the best show ever.

Laura said...

Babe, I love this show, Babe.

Susan said...

I LOVE Bitchin' Kitchen. I love Nadia. I've never made any of her recipes. Everything calls for maple syrup, which kind of makes me laugh.

I loved the show with Laura Calder on Cooking Channel. She is FABULOUS. And of course, Nigella. OMG. Remember when Style aired Nigella? I so love her.

Food Network sucks now, IMO. I just can't with it.

I'm starting to really love the Bravo shows dealing with the high-end real estate. Perfect background noise, IMO.

Kelly said...

Lordy, her chest bones! Gah!

VIPblonde said...

@onehotrobot No, never saw it, but it sounds amazing!!!! I would totally watch it if they brought it back!

Anonymous said...

I don't watch it. I too love the fashion but she's too much for me. I always like her picks on piperlime though I just can't stand her voice.

Style network used to be so good, no more.

VIP I love Top Chef, no every season is great but you can usually tell by 2-3 epsiodes in if it will be great.

All about Eve said...

@Christopher, Hahahaha!!!

Astrid said...

I so miss Style with Elsa Klench. It was my favorite.

All about Eve said...

@VIP, I'm completely addicted to Jerseylicious! I live in Staten Island so I'm always on the lookout for Tracy or Mrs Giove, I saw Mr Giove a few months ago in his little Merceds convertible.

AnonPLS said...

I watched it too! I watch it for the runway shows as well and for Paris fashion week. And i was obsessed with Style with Elsa Klench when I was growing up!

All about Eve said...

@Susan, I miss the fashion shows on Style too, Jerseylicious is the only show I watch too.

All about Eve said...

@Susan, can't watch Food Network either, every other show seems to be hosted by Guy Fieri who I completely loathe. I've been watching Cooking Channel more too.

Jennifer H. said...

Ew, she looks like the neighbor from "There's Something About Mary."

Susan said...

All about Eve - OMG. I love that you had a Jerseylicious siting. I didn't really watch last season, but I started this season. So funny how everyone hates Gigi now. These girls are ridic. I don't even know what the hell they're fighting about. Are the strip-mall salons for real or are they just a front? I live in South Jersey, nowhere near where this show takes place, but if I lived up north I would so stalk the places shown on Jerseylicious AND Jersey Housewives. Yes, I have no shame. I like Anthony and Olivia and Frankie's family is just AWESOME in every way. I love how they smoke and drink Coca-Cola with Sunday dinner. You just know they have plastic over the furniture. Ha.

Susan said...

^I started AGAIN this season. I followed Jerseylicious quite faithfully in the early seasons.

All about Eve said...

That picture!!!! For the love of god take it off!!! That's terrifying and what's sad it's that she really thinks she looks great! That's bananas!!

I've tried to watch her show but she's so boring. I'm surprised its lasted this long.

@onehotrobot, I watched that a few times! I couldn't remember what channel it was on but I do remember it was just fashion show and music.

Redd said...

I'm a huge Jerseylicious fan! What's going on with GiGi this season, was she really such a bitch all along, or is it to keep interest going in the show? Also, was Anthony wrong to fire Fillipio? I think he was, and I think he shoulda went full Monty for PlayGirl.

Robert said...

That picture is ghastly. She looks like she was in a concentration camp. Deliberately, no less.

Susan said...

Redd - I always thought that deep-down Olivia and Tracey were really friends, and the whole feud is a front on the show. I'm totally behind, so I didn't know that about Filli. He's so full of himself, which grates. Maybe I'll watch tonight. The Husband is in NYC until Saturday for work. So, I'm rolling solo. Perfect time to catch up on my trash TV. I'm behind on Mob Wives, too. The last epi I watched was so boring, and I never went back. Do I have adult ADD? LOL.

Sherry said...

Ouch Christopher! She looks gawd awful there.

Susan..I cannot believe you like Bitchin' Kitchin'. That is such an insult! Know why everything has maple syrup? Cuz she's from Canada. I skip her and Guy Ferry.

I visited a friend in Arcata and was shown the Red Lion Inn where he got his start. Then came through Santa Rosa to lunch with a FOF only to have them recommend Johnny Garlics (Guys rest) and I was like no way in hell!

Give me Lidia Bastianich ANY day.

Anonymous said...

Agree Food Network sucks now never watch it. Re Bravo I like the Million Dollar Real Estate but hate the shrink show and there's a new one coming on called Married to Medicine that looks bad too.

Susan said...

Sherry - I LOVE Lidia. Sorry to offend with my affection for Bitchin Kitchen!! Maybe it's her shoes that have me hooked, LOL.

yodelay said...

@onehotrobot, Fashion Trance was the BEST!!! I think it may have been on Style Network back when it was good.

skimpymist said...

That's BANANAS

Susan said...

Fashion Trance was on StyleNetwork. Early 2000s. That was the good shit.

califblondy said...

I love Rach, Rodg, and little Sky too. I'll pretty much watch anything on Bravo. The Dukes of Melrose is a good new show.

To Jerseylicious fans: don't you think Frankie's parents should get their own show?

Anonymous said...

the shows and the fashion is great..SHES JUST ANNOYING! she isnt funny or witty. shes way too old to sound like a teen valley girl

i loved me some jerseylicious, till they came out its all fake, womanboner could never get up again

Jazzy said...

I've watched since the beginning and the show is so different than what it started out to be. First off, Taylor and Brad were the best parts of the show. Second, when she started her own line, the show became EVEN MORE about her and her husband's neurosis. Her son is a cute pie tho.

violet said...

My name is violet and I am a reality show junkie. My DVR is permanently set to record anythign on Bravo and E!. It's an illness - but I'm not ready to fight it.
I totally watch Rachel Zoe. I think I will watch anythign that documents "real" lives in a fake scripted made for TV way.

Nothanksdarlin said...

No idea who this is but she scares me

All about Eve said...

I haven't been to the salons but I have been to the Giove's pizzerias so I think they're all real. The pizza is really good by the way. It's weird how they all turned on Gigi this season. It all started because she was talking a lot of crap about Tracy to Olivia while she's one of Tracy's closest friend and part of her wedding party so Olivia started to feel Gigi is not a real friend and stopped hanging out with her, when Gigi confronted Olivia about it she told her why and that she would be her friend again if she came clean to Tracy about all so Gigi did and of course Tracy went nuts but Olivia still not talking to Gigi because she wasn't completely honest with Tracy. A lot of drama!

All about Eve said...

@Califblondy, Frankie Sr is like a caveman! Lol! I would watch if they had their own show

All about Eve said...

@Susan, I wish Tracy and Olivia were friends! A few episodes ago they did have a sitdown after the drama with Gigi and sort of buried the hatchet. Tracy appreciated that Olivia looked out for her when Gigi was talking about her. Maybe by the end of the season they'll be friends? But Gigi is really collecting enemies this season.

Shit You Can't Buy said...

Answering to the title: that's because u can only see her if u have a microscope.

mooshki said...

Season one was great, two was okay, then I gave up in the middle of three.

Unknown said...

I watched all seasons - It was much better when she had taylor and brad. The inclusion of Roger is ick inducing and watching her run around saying Sky Sky makes me want to vomit.

Her line is pedestrian at best and at worst copy cat. I found it funny last night while in paris she kept saying she had to go to a particular store that going to paris and not visiting this store was like not going to paris at all. And O M G they had three of her dresses in the store! Shocker...she had no idea!!

it has turned into an hour ad for her clothing line.

annabella said...

I used to watch the show in the first season or two. when it was really mostly about dressing actresses for awards shows. and other designers runway shows. there were beautiful spectacular gowns. and I agree that taylor and brad were interesting.

but now it's just an infomercial for her clothing line. which is just so so. and she and rodger both are so narcissistic that its really hard to stomach.

w/o the beautiful gowns and the runway shows, it frankly sucks. though their kid is adorable.

witwritergirl said...

I' used to watch , but quite frankly quit because I can't stande her chronic complaining. Rachel, we're all tired if we work and have children. The rest of us do it without full staffs if "people". You're not exhausted from working . You're exhausted from a perpetual existence of cigarettes and coffee. Throw a piece of pie in there once in a whole girl!

feraltart said...

I'm an ep behind here in Australa. I missed the first episode but watched the second one last night. She didn't want to listen to the buyers feedback her employee was giving her & two other employees were on their phones ignoring her tanty & the meeting. Business sense, how about training employees to do their job & not be rude during a business meeting.

Flora Goforth said...

VIP I totally wish CNN would bring back fashion coverage and/or Elsa.

Sadly CNN is currently more interested in being rape apologists for high school sports teems.

Flora Goforth said...

*teams*

Blondie! said...

If this helps--websites and blogs like Fashionista and Queen of Style had embedded players during FW that you could watch the shows-live adn pre-recorded.
I miss Elsa Clench! Anyone remember when Andre Leon Talley had a show. I watched it all the time.
Re-Rachel Zoe-met her once, as nice as a dead fish, about as attractive as one too.

astrogirl said...

I can't bear to look at her, she is like a walking skeleton

Blondie! said...

The woman needs to eat, seriously, someone should make her eat a burger and fries. Yum! FRIES! FRIES!
Sorry, I love fries.
When I met her IRL, I noticed that she looks like she's at least 10 years older than she is, and I think it's because she's too damn thin.

mooshki said...

"Business sense..."

She has none. I was always amazed at how completely unprofessional she is.

Sherry said...

Susan..I need a sarcasm emoticon (meant the show is an insult to real cooks) but I KNOW you know how to cook better than her. However, I will concede..She does wear nice shoes. That is all..love and hugs and pasta!

Susan said...

Sherry - No Worries!!! You made me laugh. She does have fab shoes. I will probably NEVER cook her food.

AllAboutEve - Your synopsis of Jerseylicious is so concise yet chockful of info. LOVE! Ha ha. I'm watching the one with Anthony's book proposal right now. OMG. Tracey's makeup is HORRIFYING. I should so be Swiftering my floors right now. I literally just put the kid to bed, cleaned up the toys, washed the sippies, took a work call and checked email and am FINALLY eating dinner. Fuck you, Rachel Zoe with your skeletor whining. Because I KNOW you have people to do this shit. And where's my wine.

PotPourri said...

She's ANOREXIC!

TanyaTurner said...

She looks horrible. Her forehead used to look like her chest before she got the botox...

Crystal Jones said...

I like that show but after I watch it I pronounce the word "THAT" ... THOT, for the rest of the day.

Christopher Cruz said...

Bahahahahaha!!! I know, babes!!!
