Had high expectations but this was the worst television episode I have seen in my entire life. Extremely pointless and boring. I love watching cooking shows but this was hardly about making food at all. I have no interest in watching this disaster ever again. Would recommend Masterchef instead.

I've enjoyed many of Ramsay's shows over the years. He's one of the few celebrity chefs who can actually cook and his personality has spiced up more than one such show.This however, was a disaster. There's no other way to put it. Totally contrived without an ounce of authenticity to it, the show jumps all over the place without continuity or forethought. By the end of a show, I'm not invested in the dish, the recipes, the contestants, their stories, the outcome of the challenge, or the silly little celebrity cook-off challenge that is interjected for no apparent purpose.Ramsay has become a gold mine for Fox, and they're doing to him what networks do every time they create a new "hit" show. They completely overexpose both the original show's format and the individuals who helped it get off the ground.I would rather be forced to sit through an episode of Joanie Loves Chachi. Universally rated as one of the worst shows of all time, you should google and watch the show's intro to re-calibrate your low water mark and remind you just how bad TV can be. Candidly, The F Word isn't much better.

I have watched the UK version over and over. Launched in 2005 the show was 5 seasons and it was truly an entertaining show. After watching the US version, I have to say it's pretty close to the UK one with the following exceptions (hope you read this Gordon or the Producers)01 Gordon please put on your Chef Whites. 02 Amp up the volume when you interview your guests because the room ambient noise over powers what they say. 03 Why did you do away with the original intro?? where you change into your Chef Whites while walking in... 04 Last but not least, thank you for reviving a classic!!Cheers

Incredibly bad.Pompous guy, who doubtless can cook, has taken his popularity to a new low. Goodness knows it is difficult to find truly interesting viewing opportunities when TV providers try for 24/7/365 content. As a member of the Nielson polling community, I am asked to "test" things. Tested this.If IMDb had a rating lower than zero, this show would get that. That bad.Grab a recipe, go to your kitchen, create something.Your day will be much better.
