Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell & Back, Second Season Renewed
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date

Yes, it would be nice if some of these episodes were just about bad restaurateurs who needed help to improve but its Gordon being a therapist and listening to their drama.
And the cooking is actually barely present in the show lol. The most significant chunk is just when the cooks are getting some extra training
Bourdain said:
TC is a reality show like any other, so certain aspects of casting figure more prominently than they should, product placement is blatant in the first half/travel portions of eps, and it certainly tries to hit those commercial breaks hard with the drama and all that. But the actual foundation of the show is about as legitimate as you'll find in this weird niche.
Interviewing a former contestant:
Whereas turning people into something they are not is the entire premise of Fox's MasterChef! I will not sit idly by while you besmirch Top Chef by comparing it to any of this dreadful sludge! Ok, technically I will, but if you're still besmirching around this time next week and I happen to click on this thread, you'll hear about it then, too.
LOL,
this episode I was like
"Oh, its actually not that ba...."
That grease ball he started rolling was absolutely disgusting.

I freaking died when the host said Chinese,
Gordon's face looked like he wanted to nope right off the planet.

I laughed that this costume was such an afterthought that there wasn't a makeup team hiding in the bathroom this time.
Haven't seen this one, but if you're talking about Christina, she's all over his empire now.
Yeah I had to look it up, it was definitely Christina.
I thought it was her in a past episode but it went by quickly, this episode she had a tad more screentime.
Gave it a shot, waaay too fake and staged for me. Wish he would go back to his original Kitchen Nightmares UK run
If you think Gordon Ramsay personally found a toaster mouse then I have a strudel factory to sell you. But you're right that you'd be mad to go check it out. At least Amy had a shot at selling insane novelty pastries.
I love this show. They just had Vincent Pastore and Joseph Gannascoli from the Sopranos on doing their bit.
None of his shows have ever been half as good as his UK Nightmares or F Word, where he acted like an actual human being and not a cartoon. But I do like watching how he completely transforms restaurants in this show.

I lost when he threw the rotten apple at the dude a few episodes ago.
Guy sat there for a few seconds like "did he really just do that" then waddled off embarrassed.

Cool, I am catching up, and one of the recent episodes is at a place that I actually ate at once in Richmond, Virginia.
Man these shows are so over produced and edited. Ramsay makes it seem like the pork chops were dry, there was something wrong with the shrimp, etc. The food was good when I went and the service was fast. Oh well. At least they got a cool makeover and free publicity and stuff.

I think they made it pretty clear during the episode that the problem wasn't in the kitchen but in the owner forcing her way into what they were doing.
Maybe you went on a day when the food was prepared decently?
I can't believe Ramsay was in VA twice this season and I didn't know until they were airing. I would love to meet him, even if only for a second.
Richmond episode was weird. They really didn't seem that bad. I actually rewound the show once the credits started, looking for the obligatory scene where Gordon explores a disgusting kitchen.

the episode for caneda's white rooster was shot down the road from my house, in the parking lot at a bay beach, and the restaurant is basically at the other end of that road 2min away
Yeah, they didn't seem to have a problem with the kitchen or chefs at that place.
LOL this owner sucked.
dude threw out food Ramsay's team had prepared the very next day and then lies about it in the update video..

When the wife showed up at the end I was like "she is so totally out of this relationship after the cameras are gone"
Yup
Not ten minutes in (not counting intro) I was like "yea this guy's wife is totally leaving him as soon as Ramsay leaves".
When they hugged and made up towards the end I told my fiance,
Dry ass hug with no love. That marriage is over
5 minutes later I'm right
Well this is basically a 24 hour version of Kitchen Nightmares.
If you like Hotel Hell look up Hotel Impossible, it's basically the same thing.
I love Hotel Impossible, and they went and cancelled it :/
Yeah, this. I'll still watch the current show because I always enjoy Ramsay, but this format is so stupid compared to his past shows.
It's just too game show-y, especially when you consider the editing. The big stupid impractical truck-kitchen, the huge timer, eh. I want to see people getting lessons on cooking and running a restaurant at a reasonable pace.
Dude was hitting tequila (or was it vodka?) straight from the bottle in his car, in the morning. I hope he gets help.
