Members Funkee1 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Did anybody watch??? I have seen the BBC version a couple of times, but the debut of the Fox version was on last night. Checked it out, and............... I give it about 6 airings before cancellation. Ramsay is an amusing blowhard, and it's fun to see him torture people, but the "fixing" of the restaraunt seemed staged (yeah....... i know..... a reality show staged? say it ain't so BG!!) Still, watching him take down that Goodfella wanabe was cool! anyone else wanna chme in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members takeout Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ramsay is a douchebag. Typical "Little Dog" syndrome - ever notice how terriers bark more than Great Danes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SA Rios Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've watched the BBC version, but not the US one. My wife is in love with him for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 He bought them a whole new kitchen. I think I could turn a plce around with a budget like that. The douche Goodfella guy was a walking "Kids, don't do steroids" advertisment, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnny6644 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ramsay may think little, but he's a fairly hefty guy. Over six feet. But yeah, this show wasn't nearly as good as the BBC show. That Italian guy was {censored}in' crazy. What a goof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 I think next weeks episode will be much better. I have a feeling that Ramsay didn't totally blow that goomba out of the water because the guy was like 7 ft tall and had a gigantic chip on his shoulder.

Members brotherbass Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 In the BBC show he is much more respectable to the owners. I do think that this show will be a hit as for some reason people love to see others get torn down, but in the end succeed. I thought that it was very funny.

But yeah, this show wasn't nearly as good as the BBC show.That Italian guy was {censored}in' crazy. What a goof. i think he's an ex footballer, or rugby player or something.still a total a-hole. it annoys me how he's always saying 'yeah'. he tries too hard to intimidate people. but i guess a lot of it probably is played up to the camera. he has a show in the UK called the F word. the F word is a restaurant in London, thats always full of celebrities and the like, with the kitched staffed by amateur cooks of different professions (firemen, school teahers etc...). if the customers think the food was good, they pay, and the guest cooks gets points based on that. if the customers thought the food was not good, they dont pay, and the guest cooks dont get points. basically, the guest cooks mess up, ramsay goes nuts and swears a lot then (usually) gets beaten by a guest celebrity chef who cooks a dish that goes up against something ramsay has cooked so yeah.. little dog.

Members johnny6644 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Gotcha... little dog. Seems like this guy has about 50 shows going at the same time. Sometimes entertaining... but definitely a guilty pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richy Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yep, a good looking girl. Takes after her dad.... As for Gordon, he used to play for Glasgow Rangers I think, but got injured when he was young. He does pretty much the same thing every week (says "simple, honest food" and "{censored}" a lot). It gets a bit tiresome after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 I like him and both the BBC and american versions. Sure he's a dick, but he knows what he's talking about and doesn't BS you. I respect someone who doesn't give a {censored} about your feelings and tells you the truth.
