Yesterday on the Rachel Ray Show, Rach the Rach and Guy Fieri announced their new show, Guy vs. Rachael's Celebrity Smackdown -- a title that makes zero sense and which everyone already knows will not contain smackdowns of any kind.

Premiering this summer on the Food Network, Ray Ray described the show as "the cooking equivalent of Dancing with the Stars" while Why Guy explained it as "a brother-and-sister culinary battle" ('cause Rachael's his "sister from another mister." -- ugh.) and then a "battle royale." Yeah, we get it, Dude. Battles.

Throw down a few Tums then watch the announcement after the jump.
