Wow, some Brits turned on Gordon Ramsay’s show and didn’t like the swearing, what did the F%#$wits expect? Apparently Great British Nightmares featured 243 F-words and 312 swear words and I F%#$king loved it. It was also great to see it appeared on the torrents within hours of screening, so the rest of the world could get their dose of QUALITY Gordon Ramsay programming!

After putting up with the crappy Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares US version, this programme, which was essentially two Kitchen Nightmares Episodes mixed together (with real follow-ups as the UK version usually does!).

That’s right, I loved the $h!t out of it – clasic Gordon, he really cares, puts in 100% effort and does eveything he can – lots of great ideas and messages for restaurant and business owners alike! He so often seems more passionate than the business owners themselves and more often ready to put the hard work in!

Some of the swearing stats include:
F-word was used 240 times
312 swear words in 103 minutes – that’s one every 20 seconds
37 obscenities in 95 seconds…one every two and-a-half seconds.
The first F-word 31 seconds into the show
Complaints from 49 viewers who rang Channel 4
In the two-hour show Ramsay swore 243 times, 187 of them using the F-word.
The chefs and restaurant owners swore 69 times
The worst swearing comes 29 minutes into the show after Ramsay tells restaurant boss Justin Rowntree where he is going wrong.

When Justin doesn’t accept the criticism, his childhood pal Richie Russell – the restaurant’s chef – explodes in a 95-second outburst, telling Justin to listen to what Ramsay is saying.

At the height of hypocrisy, one newspaper printed many of the ‘offensive’ exchanges – how can you be outraged and then replace a few letters with other characters and think that is ok?

Here is quote from the article; the chef (not Gordon Ramsay strangely enough, which seems to contradict their position!) to the business owner and best friend.

“He says: “You’ve got to cut the f***ing bulls***. Why the f***are you still trying to make out you’ve f***ing got something when the f***ing, when the damage has been done.

“We already look like a couple f***ing t*ts so shut your f***ing mouth and f***ing listen. If you tried to turn it around at 2pm today me and him are f***ing off.

“I ain’t f***ing staying here. Just cut the f***ing crap to turn things around.

“He’s here to f***ing turn it round. You can do it without me or f***ing with me because I’ve had enough of

this f***ing charade because I don’t need this f***ing s***.

“I’ve got to stand next to him and show my tubs of f***ing s*** that I’m f***ing cooking. You’re f***ing… you’re not f***ing listening to him, he’s trying to f***ing tell you.

“I’ve tried to tell you for two years about every f***ing thing. Food, bands, and I told you that, but you don’t f***ing understand so show him some f***ing respect or else I’m f***ing going at 2pm that’s the… f*** it, that’s it, no f***ing bull****.

“F***ing dangle me like a f***ing puppet. Don’t take the f***ing p*** out of me any more. F*** this s***.”

Richie storms off and Ramsay says: “The dynamics of the top tier of your business is f***ed.”

Then he comforts Richie, telling him: “F***ing hell… well you got that off your chest.”

Just reporting the news Sunday Mirror – what bullsh!t

I’m asking all of the Gordon Ramsay fans of the world to unite and help your Australian brothers and sisters! Keep reading to find out how!

In Australia, Channel Nine has the rights to most of the current shows featuring Gordon Ramsay (and maybe some future ones such as cookalong live and possibly a Hell’s Kitchen??!!)

Now on the channel Nine website, a poll is running asking if they should bring back Gordon Ramsay to the television screens of Australian viewers (even though they have announced the next series of Kitchen Nightmares is screening next month)

At the time of writing, the scores were 53% yes and 47% no.

On behalf of all Australian Gordon Ramsay fans – please take thirty seconds out of your day and follow this link to vote yes!

Please, please, please vote now (and often!)

That’s right, it seems another new episode will be shown the evening on Jan 22 on Fox, well that’s what was on Wikipedia last week – now it is no longer there??!!

This is (was) reportedly the last of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA in a long drawn out season which actually began four an a half months ago. A little ridiculous when you consider there is only 12 episodes (plus the revisits from the previous year!)

I’m guessing the reason for delaying these last two episodes, was that Gordon Ramsay will be on Fox the following week in Season Five of Hell’s Kitchen.

Well, for reasons known only to the brainiacs at Fox, the Casa Roma Episode has been pulled indefinitely.
I rang Casa Roma (I love Skype for making cheap calls from Australia) in California and all they knew was the show was supposed to air and then it was pulled because of “all of the political stuff going on right now”.

I also watch The Unit and The Sarah Connor Chronicles and face the same frustration, maybe more, since they have storylines I am trying to follow. They are apparently always delayed for sports events like baseball!

So no more Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares in the foreseeable future – Hell’s Kitchen Season 5 starts in just over 7 days according to the counter on the Plonker Club homepage – I doubt they will double up on Gordon Ramsay during this period!

Fox – I hate you more than ever – until Hell’s Kitchen starts anyway!

A few nights ago on Fox, as part of their ‘confuse the crap out of everyone’ or possibly using dartboard programming – a new episode of Kitchen Nightmares USA aired.

This episode was for Cafe 36 in La Grange Il.

Episode 11 of season 2 wasn’t bad – there are some things that Fox won’t do away with – like annoying spoilers throughout the show, and recaps after ad breaks – I’m sure these shows are about 30 mins of footage (the torrents I watch here in Australia are 42-44 minutes (no ads). As always Gordon Ramsay’s passion for change and want to help came through – and this one wasn’t a bad story. A sweet old couple with no experience, who put in over $1.1 million (plus not drawing paychecks since the business opened) at least this one wasn’t just one big fight.

Please bring on the new series form the UK and fix the US series.

There is the final episode in the series airing on Jan 22 in the US according to the Wikipedia entry for Hells Kitchen.

Bring on more ‘QUALITY” Gordon Ramsay.
