Pioneer Woman takes over the evening one hour time slot on Food Network!

I was surprised yesterday afternoon when it was 3:30pm and Ina Garten's show, Barefoot Contessa, was on the Food Network. Her half-hour show is usually on in an hour block from 4 to 5pm. I went to the online sit to check the schedule to see what was going on. Lo and behold, Ina has lost her hour time slot. For that matter, so has Giada who used to be on from 3-4. The person who has gained from their losses? Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman. Ree's show used to be on from 5-5:30 but now she has an hour block from 5-6. I guess Food Network is making her their new darling and taking a step away from tried and true stars Giada and Ina. What a shame as they actually know how to cook unlike Ms. Drummond.
