Re: Extension of ego (4.00 / 2)

That's my experience as well. However, spit in one hand, hold anecdotal evidence in the other, and decide which is "more real."

IF it is accurate we've got a fact of no mean importance.

Recommended viewing: Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.

Ramsey travels the US and helps restaurants on the brink of bankrupcy. 9 out of 10 times the problems are well known to the staff but the owner is to stubborn to listen.

Re: Extension of ego (none / 1)

Either it tells you what you need to know about my observations of what goes on at the telly, or Swedish tv chooses the american episodes on purpose. After all Amazing race is marketed at swedish tv as "see americans who could not find Europe on a map of Europe make fools of themselves" and considering the number of seasons they have shown, I guess that is a succesfull strategy.

Oh, right: Kitchen Nightmares - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kitchen Nightmares is an American reality television series on the Fox network, in which Chef Gordon Ramsay spends a week with a failing restaurant in an attempt to revive the business.^[1] It is based on the British show Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
