In what is no doubt some of the most distressing news that I have heard this year, rumours are circulating the internet that Gordon Ramsay will not be making any more Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.

The original quote comes from The Sun newspaper in the UK and according to them Gordon Ramsay said “If the restaurants succeed, there’s no praise. If they’re screwed, we’re blamed and get lawyers’ letters,” he said.

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!
