When he does need to dismiss chefs, he seems very sincere in his encouragement of chefs to keep on keeping on in their lives. I also like that guy in the white glasses (same show or not? I'm confused)

I really like on Ktichen Nightmares how he's so super nice to the wait staff and younger folks because he knows it's not their fault, and then he goes balistic on lazy owners and shitty managers.
Exactly. I also have to agree with some of the drama on Hell's Kitchen. Yes, we know Jason (from the latest season) is a douchehole. There's really no need to linger on him, except as ratings bait. I was SO happy when (SPOILERS) Scott defeated him at the end because Jason kept Sandra on and was a shitty leader.

I just roll my eyes when they do big arguments with epic angry music and the shaking camera, and then cut to commerical, or the fact that every single challenge ends up in a tie coming down to the last point.

Hello! So like Plymouth south coast? Or like Dover south coast?

Even though they do get repetitive sometimes...
Oh, man, I can't wait to review that stinker of a show though. The very idea of utopia itself is flawed, let alone the execution.
My friend works at this 15th century estate-turned restaurant/tea room and Gordon Ramsey has reserved a table there for dinner when he visits. She's the only server in that room and she's already scheduled that day so she gets to serve him. She's really nervous!

I hate that as well. I love Kitchen Nightmares (sad it's ending) and Hotel Hell a lot more, because he comes up with the best lines to describe how terrible food is. The Amy's Baking Company episode of Kitchen Nightmares is nothing but a laugh riot.
