I've lamented here before how the American version of Kitchen Nightmares is unwatchable due to the screechingly loud music at all times and the over-emotionalism (every second we're led to believe a fight with metal folding chairs will break out.) Also formulaic as my breakdown HERE suggests.
And in watching a marathon of the first season of Hell's Kitchen you can really see how shitty that show has become over the years; each season has gotten more and more Americanized re: unnecessary noise that drives you insane. The first season there were actually quiet moments, and you can hear people talk - whenever Ramsay does yell and scream it's for a reason (and often laugh-out-loud funny.) Recent seasons they simply show him ranting and raving with no context alongside blaring "music." Would be nice to go back to the style of the first season.
Of course none of that matters, as Little Gordon is on the way!!! :)
Have I mentioned I've met Chef Ramsay? Cough. No big deal.
