    One of my favorites! I have to set the DVR to catch it. I also like
    the F Word. Show a bit of a different side to Ramsey. He's not quite
    as harsh and you see a bit of his family life.

    I absolutely cannot watch it, even the commercials. I hate
    confrontational, angry, shouting TV reality shows.

    I can't watch that show for a minute. The torture, cruelty and rudeness he
    displays to the students drives me crazy; who would put up with that stuff
    from anyone.
    I can't watch the students be humiliated for a TV show.

    Hey, they sign up for the project, Ramsay doesn't go looking for them. And
    they aren't "students"; they are all young adults claiming to have what it
    takes to be the head chef in their own restaurant. "If you can't stand the
    heat stay out of the kitchen" was never more true than in an actual
    restaurant setting. As for the rudeness, it's all about the ratings.

    I had a boss (*not* in a restaurant) who thought nothing of yelling and
    cursing at his employees in front of anyone who happened to be around. I
    didn't stay there but a lot of my former co-workers had been there for
    years. If the business hadn't folded they probably still would be.

    Sad to find out (last to know I swear) that one of the chefs from last
    season, rachel, died...

    They're not students, they're mostly cooks that have been in the
    business for a bit and volunteer for this. Yeah, he's crude and rude,
    but they did sign up for it and they get their own restaraunt out of the
    deal. So they're putting up with what they're probably used to anyway
    (from what I've read most head chefs are like this) and getting a coup.

    Nancy, I agree with you, but to be honest, I have never watched the
    show. I was turned off after watching one of their commercials. If I
    want to hear people shouting and screaming, I will wear a bikini to the
    beach. lol

    (laughing!) You're so funny. I agree with you both, if I wanted
    that kind of aggravation, I'd watch The View. Hell's Kitchen
    made me grab for the remote.

    It is another good reason for me to have cancelled the Food Network. I am
    not at all interested in watching the guy rate and rave at the cheap help.
    You can see why he goes from one place to another. He could never supervise
    a kitchen staff on his own. No one in their right mind would work for the
    guy.

    LOL....I agree with both of you. The commercials were enough to turn
    me off. I don't need mean-spirited people in my face. I didn't even
    like "Married with Children" tv show back when it was popular.

    FYI: You can't blame Food Network for this one, it's on Fox.

    What are you babbling about? Gordon Ramsay is a reknowned
    restauranteur. He OWNS mulitple restaurants, including a Michelin 3
    star one in the UK.

    At the time that I dropped Food Network (Canada), Ramsey was on too often,
    along with a lot of other programs about opening and revamping restaurants,
    along with a lot of Unwrapped and other shows that were of very little
    interest to me.
