Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars

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.

Gordon is playing Sugar Daddy ... er, co-investor, to one (and only one) Instagram Influencer ... entrepreneur.

The problems: 1) None of the Contentants are capable of completing ANY of the challenges.

2) None of the challenges have anything to do with the ANY of the Contestants' businesses.

3) Gordon seems to be using these Instagram Influencers to flex on how great he is.

4) None of the Contestants can work together as a team.

5) After watching five episodes, I doubt that any of the Contestants have ever even SEEN a kitchen, let alone run their own business. Or have worked a day in their whole life. Or have ever heard the word no.

Food Stars? Hardly. More like Rich Showoff and Fifteen Spoiled Kids.

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 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.
