There is a strong difference between her first shows and those in
later years. She sent away for a couple more dump truck loads of
drawl and low country mannerisms and applied them liberally. I'm
assuming that she was told the southern charm is what sold her program
and to do more of it. Just like someone told Rachel Ray that boobs
were the thing and now we are forced to see them dangling everywhere.
