Who cares whether this is real reality or plain fiction, i love drama and i get it that is fine with me. If it really such a big deal, why not just sue the producer and Gordon, that is far more profitable than posting bitchy reviews online.

Many thanks for posting this on my blog.

As I noted there, the disconnect for me is that the British series seemed so very above-the-table. I’m not sure how much actual control Ramsay has with the Fox series, nor, now, am I certain just how legit the British series is.

Samantha wrote: “Although I am an aspiring environmental and scientific journalist, I am not a food critic and have never written a serious, blind review of any restaurant and do not plan to do so in the future.”

This is a wise decision on her part, considering she doesn’t appear to know the difference between a crock pot and a casserole dish.

If Samantha aspires to be a scientific journalist, she might want to try checking her facts, as opposed to yellow reporting “in the spirit of her character”.

Well, she’s right with her closing paragraph, and it provides evidence for the other comments regarding the Fox show. Take it for entertainment value, I suppose.
