Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

Supermarket Check-Out Race

Aired on: November 14, 2008

Rachael's giving six check-out baggers a stack of groceries, paper and plastic bags, and the opportunity to prove they're the best bagger in New York. "This is very serious business!" says Rachael, as she introduces the candidates. They're judged on speed, proper technique, distribution of weight, and the style and appearance of the bag. "It's really like a jigsaw puzzle," says Millie, 36, who warns the competition about her skills. But in the end it's another bagger, Vanessa, 23, who claims the prize and scores a trip to the national bagging championship in Las Vegas. Rachael even throws in a five-night trip for two to The Body Holiday in St. Lucia!
