>US Gordon Ramsay

>makes pretty much no effort to be reasonable; jumps straight to treating them like the scum of the earth who should hurry up and kill themselves, and is always looking to pick a fight (clearly not due to a difference in attitude, like some people claim; some of the absolute dumbest, most selfish, most ridiculous arrogant and lazy people from his shows are from UK KN, and he gives them far more respect than they deserve)

Why are US Gordon Ramsay shows so terrible?

 No.275826

It's pretty jarring.

He still curses as much, but watching the UK Kitchen Nightmares, he's horribly reasonable. He talks frankly to the owners, nearly in a whisper, saying things like "Look, this is your dream, but this shit is fucked up. Your restaurant is in decay, the place is fucking disgusting, and your staff doesn't respect you. You're going to lose this dream if you don't turn this around". No melodramatic music, no camera tricks, no drama, no "WHOOOSH! KITCHEN NIGHTMARES CHING CHING!"

Whereas in the US one, Ramsey will drop into a shitfit over literally nothing. He'll see a piece of gum that the previous customer had stuck to the bottom of the table and go down the hall dragging the entire table behind him, throw it at the owner yelling "LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT! IT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING! I WOULDN'T WIPE MY ASS WITH THE SHIT YOU SERVE IN THIS FUCKING SHITHOLE!" And then he turns it around in 10 minutes and the owner has to walk into the big reveal to the fucking theme of The Chariots of Fire and everybody breaks into tears, cutting immediately to the credits with "Woosh! Next time on kitchen nightmares! 'My restaurant is a wreck, my brother lives in the kitchen, is sleeping in the oven, eats the money directly out of the register, and shits on the tables while customers are still eating and he thinks everything is fine!' 'YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE'"

It's insane. He's like an entirely different fucking person depending on what side of the ocean he's on. It's almost admirable, as I'm sure he's 100% aware, and knows exactly how to appeal to each audience.

Different audiences require different products.

Look at the differences between the UK Deal or No Deal vs the American one.

>It's almost admirable, as I'm sure he's 100% aware, and knows exactly how to appeal to each audience.

I'm certain he knows what he's doing. He's pretty much playing a character at this point.

He clearly hates Burguers and in Hell’s Kitchen (US) he can externalize all of his hate for them.

There is a Hell’s Kitchen UK but dunno if he is the same with his fellow countrymen.


 No.275854

There hasn't been a Hells Kitchen in the UK for years now; he's pretty much moved all his TV operations over to the States.

Some folks in the UK just loved bitching about him though; complaining that he swears too much and that when he makes himself sick after being fed a rotten mussel that it's all an act to get attention.

But i know folks who have worked with him and been taught by him; all the swearing is *nothing* out of the ordinary for many kitchens.

Ramsay just has high standards - that's it.

He hates burgers because he's a bong with an inferiority complex because no one chants UK UK UK UK!!!

I had a fiancée who was a pastry chef in several kitchens.

Excessive swearing is absolutely normal in every kitchen. If anything, Ramsey is less vulgar than ordinary when he's on TV.

Based on what I've heard about Ramsay, he's an egotist cunt (ie. he's a chef), but he's a very talented, skilled, and informed chef nonetheless, and he's not one of the most successful chefs in the world by accident, and not even just because of TV (TV appearances don't get you 16 Michelin stars). He knows food, he knows entertainment, and he knows the business.

I wish he did his UK-style stuff here in the US. I like his programs, but holy shit American TV is awful. I like food shows; I don't want to watch retarded drama with a 40-year-old man screaming at dunces who shouldn't be in charge of a hot dog stand, let alone a restaurant.

Ramsay is Scottish, anon. And Scots have been fighting tooth and nail for their independence for the best part of 700 years. The only reason he has a British accent is due to his family constantly moving during his formative years. Confusing the two is akin to confusing Castilians with Galicians. One country, two peoples.

kitchen nightmares in US is terrible. Whoever produces that show should be shot.

Read the OP.

By now the american one is basically just entertainment show.

Nothing really valuable for the owners to learn from him, but for the audience to get something to laugh at.

The UK one was the polar opposite of it.

I've noticed this as well, I always liked the UK versions of Gordon's shows better.

It's probably just being edited that way, Charlie Brooker (as much I hate the guy) has an interesting bit where he shows how much you can manipulate footage.

The jews that run television in America destroy it further to push agendas, while Britbongistan is already cucked enough in other ways so they don't need it so hard. Americans can buy spoons without being carded to ensure they're 18 and won't be using the spoon in self defense after all.

Americans ruin everything. They are all retards with the intellegence of a 4 year old. Or at least thats the impression that all non-americans get when they see what happens to media when it is made for american audiences. This is just another example of this. In almost all cases, the american version of a foreign equivilent is dumbed down to the point of absurdity.

I personally find a lot of British televsion to be overdramatic, overly editied shit with unbearable music ques so you can imagine how I feel about American television.

Americans want aspirational stories rather than stories where people get torn down.

So, for many of the episodes of things like Kitchen Nightmares, this means showing the restaurants being turned around and looking like they're doing well. Even doing renovations for the places to make them look completely new at times.

It's why in the American version you'll also rarely see them showing what happens with the restaurants months later.

It's the way of most reality TV shows in the US, since we typically want escapism that shows how things could be better rather than to be told how everything is or should be worse.
