Is the Joker gone?

No more Rachael Ray but plenty of TMBG commercials (only without John Goodman on voiceover). She's even gone from the Web site. Thank you, Dunk's! Please, please, please say this is permanent!

Gee, could this possibly be the reason?

She has a syndicated talk

She has a syndicated talk show? That should be outlawed under the Geneva Convention.

Perhaps it is this....from TMZ

Rachael Ray – Dunkin' Coffee is S***

Talk about biting the coffee bean that feeds you: Rachael Ray might be shilling for Dunkin' Donuts coffee and donuts on TV, but when push comes to drink, it's all Starbucks for RR.

A spy for NYmag.com's Grub Street reports that on the set of Rachael's latest Dunkin' spot, she was given a cup of joe – but after just one sip, she yelled, "What is this s**t? Get me MY coffee." And, as it happens, HER coffee was from the competition, Starbucks.

Yup

I only looked quickly at your link.Just thought it was another reason not to like her, although I do find her kind of sexy. My bad.

Who should replace her?

Eileen nominates Kevin Garnett:

... Patriots and Sox players do tons of local endorsements...(anyone seen Welker's ridiculous furniture commercial?) why not get the Green in on the action?

She's not gone...you just

Nope

That's not Rachael Ray -- just a random brunette model, possibly intended to distract from the fact that RR is no longer in the picture.

Hmmm

This is the phasing out of Rachael.I wonder if her husband would opt for the younger, hispanic version over old thunderthighs?

that a woman actually get a bit older or gain a normal and relatively healthy amount of weight while being around food all the time!

Rachel Ray isn't fat. If you are seeing fat when you see her thighs, that's because it's all between your eyes!

I didnt call her fat

By bostnkid | Fri, 01/18/2008 - 10:54am

I said she had thunderthighs, which i like. besides, how much weight is she going to gain when she only eats half of her gingerbread doughnut.her mom eats the other half.its delish.

Oh, Rach, what did you do?

Seems the Double R had three whole years left on her contract with the Double D:

"Rachael Ray embodies the spirit of our loyal customers," said Robert Rodriguez, Dunkin' Donuts brand president. "As an energetic self-starter, she not only understands the benefits of a great-tasting cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee served fast, she also counts on it to fuel her every day."

As its new brand representative, Ray will appear in a multi-platform marketing campaign for Dunkin' Donuts through 2010. Ray will also lend her perspective to the Dunkin' Donuts culinary team in the development of new, "better for you" food and beverage options.
