cmon guys, it wasn't that bad. the uk version imo is not better,
it's
different. i liked it. i suppose they shud've shown the "after" bit, but it was
fine i guess. i'd really like to see how it did ratingwise.
us:
50 minutes of "wow we're a failing restaurant. look at the violent angry guy."
10 minutes of "ramsay fixes it and here's the short-term result"
uk
10 minutes of "wow, we're a failing restaurant. look at the hopeless couple
running the place."
40 minutes of "ramsay fixes it"
5 minutes of "here's the short-term result"
5 minutes of "here's the restaurant a couple of years later"

so? i liked it.
p.s i am still sure, that the most popular show on american tv, ever, will be a
shot of bigmac in hd for 60 minuts.

Quote by obieobieobie
this is an american rebranding of an originally british show. it has the same
presenter and same basic concept, but different executions.
well i never heard of either until now so is that all the show is, just a
reality show about some guy helping restaurants to be better?

frankly i wasn\'t surprised by the excruciatingly bad rendition of the uk version
at all.
i\'d seen hell\'s kitchen before, where ramsay had already been portrayed as a
caricature of himself. i was expecting no less from this series, or maybe even a
bit more.
it\'s a shame that everything re-marketed for the american audience has to be
edited and dramatized to fit their attention span which equals that of a dead
fly. sadly, fox seems to like taking the easy way out again by pleasing the
hurds of couch zombies that lap up this drivel.
as for ramsay, i can only say that by doing more and more shows like these, he\'s
rapidly damaging his name and continues to lose respect among foodies, seemingly
favoring to be type-cast as a foul mouthed money whore.
