Giada De Laurentiis Annoys Many, Cuts Finger on Thanksgiving Live

This weekend on Food Network was the two hour Thanksgiving Live special with Giada De Laurentiis, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, and Ina Garten.  Judging by the comments on this site, as well as the Food Network Facebook page, Giada De Laurentiis ruined the special for many people.

The consensus among people commenting included things like:
  • Giada being obnoxious and rude by talking over others and interrupting others throughout the episode
  • Giada being 'childish' by her throwing food on the show. (She recently threw pies on another show) 
  • People wanting Giada to not be on the show again next year
  • People not liking her glasses and thinking she was being too 'flirtacious'

Giada also had an accident on the special when she sliced her finger, which has been all over the news and was actually trending on Yahoo! this Saturday.  Many commenting on sites say this was a blessing in disguise as it was the only way the other people on the show could get a word out.  The picture to the right is the aftermath of Giada's accident on Thanksgiving Live.

Do you think Giada will be invited back for the Thanksgiving Live special next year?  I guess even with the Food Network trimming the amount of people on the special, it was still hard for everyone to share the air time.
