Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars

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'm a major GM fan. I'll watch anything with him in it but I just could not stomach this show. Season 2 with the vamderpump lady was much worse than season 1. But they still both sucked. I know GM is a brilliant entrepreneur but we love to see him in cooking shows not business shows. This was not interesting. I didn't not learn anything. I was not entertained. I don't see the sense in cutlery manufacturers in a culinary challenge. I just makes no sense. I watched this because it was the only new GM show available but I won't be doing that any more. Trash GM shows are still trash. I sincerely hope that there will not be a 3rd season of this show.

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.

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!

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.
