Yeah, he's loud and foul, but he's also almost always right, and even better, he shows a tremendous ability to find and bring out people's hidden strengths. You can learn a lot about people and about business by watching this show. We love both versions of this show, although the BBC version is much better, thanks especially to Ramsay’s own voiceovers.

The latest episode Gordon went off on a customer bitching about the food. It was highly entertaining.

I find I enjoy it a bit more than the US version, which seems to focus a bit too much on the dramatics and fights rather than Ramsey's methods of rebuilding a restaurant. I didn't get past the first couple of episodes, so maybe it's changed, but I remember the fox version glossed over the menu changes and reasons for it in favour of more real world style reaction interviews.

Everytime I get someone new to watch the show... they're hooked. I truly believe that this is the most overlooked show on TV. Everytime I get someone new to watch the show… they’re hooked.

It's the only reality show I watch. My main complaint with it is that its pacing is uneven, they show too little of the "after" bits, the actual payoff. And last week's payoff was very disappointing, the restaurant in question closed anyway despite Ramsey's success with it because the owner had mounted up too many debts.
