Sarah Symonds Following my Gordon Ramsay Fansite on Twitter

While doing some internet marketing for The Plonker Club – The Unofficial Gordon Ramsay Fansite, I’ve been using a Twitter tool with which I type in a keyword and it finds people who have that same word associated with their account. Imagine my surprise when I wake up this morning to find the program had not only signed me up to a Sarah Symonds Twitter feed, but this person had consequently signed up to follow the Plonker Club Twitter feed (which can be found at http://twitter.com/ThePlonkerClub). I checked and it contained a photo of THE Sarah Symonds and some of her tweets suggest that it is really her (tweets about upcoming interviews, a link to her website etc).

While doing some internet marketing for The Plonker Club – The Unofficial Gordon Ramsay Fansite, I’ve been using a Twitter tool with which I type in a keyword and it finds people who have that same word associated with their account. Imagine my surprise when I wake up this morning to find the program had not only signed me up to a Sarah Symonds Twitter feed, but this person had consequently signed up to follow the Plonker Club Twitter feed (which can be found at http://twitter.com/ThePlonkerClub). I checked and it contained a photo of THE Sarah Symonds and some of her tweets suggest that it is really her (tweets about upcoming interviews, a link to her website etc).

For people living under a rock, Sarah Symonds is the woman who claimed to be having an affair with Gordon Ramsay last year and has spent all of her time since, trying to stay on Gordon’s coat-tails and ride the publicity train until the end (and the media has done a great job of indulging her – even interviewing her from Australia regarding the ridiculous Tracy Grimshaw “he called me a lesbian – oops he didn’t” pig affair!).

To top it off, I also got a personal message to go with the notice of joining the feed – it said “LOVE this site – what made you set it up? Plonker is a great name. Signed…the mistress!!”. She didn’t sound as bitter here, as she has in some of the interviews I’ve seen since the ‘revelations’!

Sarah Symonds Following my Gordon Ramsay Fansite on Twitter

Anyway, to cut a long story short, like any true Gordon Ramsay fan I have not only unfollowed her from the Plonker Club Twitter Feed, but also blocked her from receiving updates – gotta stay loyal to the team!

It was a brush with (wanna-be) fame but doesn’t rate with actually meeting Gordon Ramsay last weekend in Sydney (more of that to come shortly).

Stay tuned

It has been confirmed that Gordon Ramsay’s popular Cookalong Live television show, will be coming to US audiences this year, December in fact, according to a report in Australian newspaper the Herald Sun.

The setup of the very popular UK show is simple; viewers cook live with Gordon Ramsay having pre-bought and prepared ingredients as instructed via the internet. In an effort to get more people to cook at home, the wanna-be chefs invite friends around for a dinner party with their Head Chef Gordon Ramsay barking orders at them via the television. A number of viewers also have cameras in their house following their progress as Gordon and his celebrity come sous chef prepare for the live audience and guests and regularly cross over to see how poorly they compare!

The show is brilliant to watch but definitely less enjoyable for the chef in each home as they desperately try to keep up with Gordon Ramsay’s hectic pace. In the UK the shows were an hour, so with this one-off two hour show, the pace should be a little more relaxed – although it may allow the chef and guests to get more drunk in the process!

For a taste of what to expect, here is a sample of what was on the menu for the last series of Gordon Ramsay’s Cookalong Live UK.

In a demonstration of how professional and passionate Gordon Ramsay is about this show and his effort to get Britain cooking at home again (which at first sounds counter intuative for a man who owns a bunch of restaurants) episode number four was shot days after the infamous claims of him having an affair with serial offender Sarah Symonds. As seen in the video, Gordon at the top of the show merely mentions that it has been a tough week and continues on with the same amazing energy and zest.

Gordon Ramsay is the man – look out American wannabe home chefs (and Fox censors) Gordon Ramsay is coming your way in December 2009!

I’ve just watched the finale of Hell’s Kitchen season Five courtesy of some friendly torrents – I won’t put a spoiler in here for a few days but did anyone see the woman with the short blonde hair eating??

Is this Sarah Symonds??

She looked a hell of a lot like Sarah Symonds (the woman who accused Chef Ramsay of infidelity) although it didn’t sound like an English accent- What do you all think??
