Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars

I wanted to like this more than I do. I wasn't sure how enthralled I'd be with business challenges, and I'm enjoying that aspect more than expected. The low point for me is that the contestants are already very successful. Even if eliminated, they all go back to an already thriving business. It's on par with how Hell's Kitchen already has seasoned chef - however professional chefs don't have excessive money and the prize would be life changing. I admit that I don't know the exact financials of the Food Stars contestants, but the way they've been presented is that they are all doing quite well. I would much prefer to see this type of show with business people who have a solid idea, but don't yet have their foot in the door.

So I just created my IMDB account to express my support for Megan. I want to echo Top Dawg Critic's sentiments about disruptive individuals. Caroline, Sydney, and stubborn Queen can be quite irritating. Queen showed promise but was unwilling to take feedback. Watching them from an audience standpoint is uncomfortable.

Caroline's attitude reminds me of a quote from South Park Season 8, Episode 12 - worth a watch.

Anyways as a cooking enthusiast who respects great chefs like Ramsey, I'm apprehensive about him choosing a winner who may not value his guidance and investment. It's a show to watch!

This show is so annoying and most of the competitors are cringe. It's like Gordon Ramsay handpicked a bunch of loud, annoying and obnoxious individuals to be on this show, which is pretty much fixed on who goes home based on Gordon Ramsay's like or dislike of that person, with hardly any bearing of what that individual did or didn't do for each challenge. Yet another money grab attempt by Ramsay who could've just as easily partnered up with MasterChef winners that can cook, and clearly run a restaurant that has great food, because that chef won the season. The entire concept of this show is ridiculous and redundant. Can't see this nonsense being renewed for another season.

I don't know what show the poster who gave this train wreck a 10/10 rating saw, but it could not be this show.

Take a bunch of self centered, unlikeable people, with extremely limited cooking chops, and throw in constant manufactured drama, and this is the result. This show, if it had any scruples, would just quit mid season and tell these drama queens to go back to their social media lives, as they have shown they cannot function among other people outside their bubble.

Gordon has made many good and entertaining shows. Sadly, this is not one of them. If he actually follows through on his promise to give one of these losers $250k, he should be assigned someone to oversee his finances.

Honestly this show had potential. The main idea behind the show is excellent but the casting of the competitors is awful. It's forced, fake, and just horrible. I keep watching in hopes that the really cringe competitors leave the show, to see if it can improve but it just gets worse. It feels like a roller coaster of chaos that just never ends. Gordon has amazing excellent shows but this one really missed the mark due to the casting. Like I said it had great potential but fell off within the first episode. I will not be shocked if there will never be another season. Don't waste your time watching unless you enjoy being annoyed.
