Mario Batali is not the most handsome man on the show, yet his food always looks excellent and he seems to win at a fairly high rate. Also, I believe there is a show that has a reasonably attractive woman that cooks low-calorie food. At a minimum this food always sounds terrible to me. This ’study’ clearly ignores Iron Chef.

In TV and movies, villains are always ugly. Therefore, the audience probably likes to see the unattractive host suffer. “why is it that repulsive food is good for ratings if the host is not attractive, but bad for ratings if the host is attractive?”

Honest mistake. 2) Giada De Laurentiis is an 11, not a 10. Another honest mistake. 3) There is a chance that cause and effect is reversed here. That a woman can cook beautiful food MAKES her beautiful, as the happiest husbands know well. Men I don't know so much about. 4) This post, all by itself, justifies the existence of the blogosphere. Thank you Felix. 1) It’s Giada De Laurentiis, not Gianna. Honest mistake.

2) Giada De Laurentiis is an 11, not a 10. Another honest mistake.
