The UK version was great, the people who asked for help were genuine and Gordon actually tries to help them. The US version is just a formulaic freakshow only concerned with melodrama.

Hotel Hell sucked also. It was maybe 10% more sincere than Kitchen Nightmares

It was insanely disappointing. I was a huge fan of the UK original. It was a genuinely good show. The American version was a lowest common denominator abortion.

I admit i sometimes watch Youtube clips of this just because it’s a hilarious freakshow. Most people are so delusional. I know most of it is scripted but It’s a guilty pleasure of mine.

hey, I've seen all the bad US Ramsay shit. You don't gotta defend it to me

The UK version was faked to some extent as well, just not as obvious about it.

I make a delicious plate of spaghetti and I betcha Gordon Ramsey would give me handshake for.

I agree but most of the people in the UK version were authentic and open to Gordon’s help. Most people in the US version are just delusional and don’t listen to Gordon’s advice.

That's true. I think almost all the Americans had IMDB pages before they appeared on the show.

Of course, but their whole approach to it had some level of artistry as opposed to the constant background music and wacky SFX of the US version

 

[Stent]

The contrast is jarring. Television people make shit unwatchable in a desperate bid to drag in ever more viewers.

Ordinary people are always more interesting. I'll watch Aurikatariina clean a house before any mainstream show these days.

 

[johnnynoname]

the beauty of Gordon Ramsey (and I'll go as far to include Jon Taffer) is that they know their shit, and yet they are willing to don a bombastic persona for the sake of entertainment.

now to address the subject of this thread, there is usually this conflict that occurs when people do the whole "duh the british version is better duh"....is that the case most of the times? meh- sometimes yes sometimes no.

However in the case of ...........you know what? I forgot my point and I'm just gonna punch out

The UK version is also way more wholesome, he actually tries to bond with the people, i know i’m a fag but there were moments i teared up during the original version.
