Let's hope that this version of the show isn't as stupid as the American Office, which didn't even live up to a tenth of the original British Office....shame, shame. I wish they had made more episodes of the Office, I own both seasons on dvd and I want more! |
Christmas Specials? :) |
Yep, I own that one as well. :)

OMP has been plugging a show they are associated with "Shut Up & Model". I believe it is a competition for both photog's and models.

I've worked for a few that are so far out of control they start steaming and hurling insults. At first I was just embarassed for them -- but anymore it's far too hard to keep from laughing at how pathetic they're acting.
Tolerating temper tantrums is bad enough, but rewarding it should be criminal. It does nothing but tear down the social inter-workings of any organization it occurs in. It's just sad and pathetic.

He sure did have the foulest mouth I've seen on primetime in awhile. But I realized while watching the dining patrons, that it was more than likely staged...them knowing ahead of time that they would sit and watch the kitchen staff fail miserably for 2-3 hours. There would have been far more drama, as the 'general' public would not have merely laughed or simply scowled as most of them did (case in point: a table of 4 blonds that went back to tell G.R. that their feelings were hurt that he told them to f*** off, and then giggle their way back to the table)
It was interesting, amusing, and at times downright painful for me to watch. I'll be tuning in next week, for sure. |

I've watched Gordon Ramsey on his BBC shows for the past year or so and he is a little over the top, but he was WAY out of control on the fox show Hell's Kitchen. He goes into restaurants that have bottomed out and turns things around for them and gets them out of the red and back into profit by replacing chefs, waitstaff, recipes, etc.. he is good at what he does.

| Gordon Ramsey is on tv tonight - Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares - him trouble shooting a fading restaurant. For all his (very many) faults, he is an excellent chef (probably the best in London - certainly has more michelin starred restaurants in London than any one else). |

There may be a slight bit of hamming it up for the program, but Gordon Ramsey has made his reputation of being a demanding hard b'stard.
He is an ex football player (soccer) and is one of the top chefs in the UK.
He demands perfection, and gets it. He has been known to physically throw staff out of his kitchen. and paying customers out of his restaurants.
I bet you will find that at the end of the show the survivors will say that they have learnt a lot from him.....

"I think there are a lot less risky ways to go about opening your own business."
What is less risky than getting it for free....anytime you start a business it's a risk, usually it is your money and your families well bein that you are putting at risk. here, you go on tv put up qith some clown's moronic ranting bullshit and if you're lucky you walk away with a restaurant....so....tell me again, where's the risk? |

Yes, being a Prick has it's perks. I'm a charter member PA (Pricks Anonymous)...it's like alcohol...it's addictive. I come from a long line of Pricks, so it's not my fault.
Steve: Hi, my name is Steve...and I'm a Prick"
Group at PA Meeting: Hiiiii Steeeeve!
I noticed it doesn't fly too well here from reading that last comments thread.
