They don't use sneaky editing to up the drama, or dramatic music. Ramsay also narrates everything.

1) Taste test

3) SURPRISE INSPECTION KITCHEN CLOSE NOW

6) OMG NEW FOOD NEW DECOR
7) restaurant is successful

He's a lame ass drama queen. What else need's be said.

Every one of his American shows is staged and full of shit and high drama. They even say at the beginning of the show that "certain parts maybe enacted for dramatic effect."

If you can't see the bullshit for yourself just watch how the vast majority of the restraunts he attempts to help, he goes in, and it's the same formula every time, EVERY TIME, he eats the food first then gets disgusted by the disgusting kitchen and health practices therein. You'd think check the kitchen first before eating the food at some rundown shithole?

Also these kitchens they show are utterly disgusting, as if no health inspectors exist in the USA? WTF is that?

I don't expect anything from that drama queen, he and beckham should get a room and do each other. Two drama queens all snug together in a double bed.

Tons of people like perfection without going down the homosexual drama queen route... aka the hershey highway.

She never came over to the USA thinking she knew everything, she was just awesome. Ramsay can bugger the fuck off back to England where he belongs, him and Beckham and that utter faggot Piers Morgan. Ever notice that their wives all look unsatisfied, maybe that's because they're all banging each other in gaybars?

And I honestly don't care about michelen stars, what is that some french crap? What's that have to do with American food? NOTHING, ZIP! NADA!

Get over yourself, you sound like an arrogant brit defending that which is indefensible. Plus compare and contrast to say Julia Child, she was totally awesome, and her shows are great to watch and there's a lot to learn from them.

This show is a failure not because he's a bad chef, but because 70-80% of the restaurants end up closing down anyway. The whole point of this show is about him saving restaurants, but his success rate is abysmal. What happens is they follow his instruction for a month or two tops, then get lazy and go back to the same old same old and it ends up closing down.

I've watched some of his shows, and he comes across as a complete drama queen. But that's what the demographic that does watch the show wants. Personally I can't watch it, it's useless staged drama crapola.

Look at how his show sucks just from the point of view of logic, it's same formuaic shit eveytime. Everytime, without fail. He goes into a restaurant, drama ensues, he eats food, thinks it sucks, then checks out the kitchen which is without a doubt completely disgusting, then more drama ensues, a redecorates the place, one batch of staged actors come in, think it sucks, he hollars at people, then the real night when another batch of actors come in and love it, then it's all honkey dorey.

For the number of shows he's done, how come he never checks out the disgusting kitchen first? The reason is because it adds more drama by pretending to be disgusted.

He's so fucking fake like beckham and pierce morgan that it's almost beyond description. All three of them should get a room and go homo on each other back in England.
