Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars

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.

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.

Season 1 was the best of all these show, the first version was great I loved it. Ramsay needs no internal competition. This model doesn't work?

He offered great advice and direction and we could see who had real talent. Maybe Ramsay should slow down and stick with the models that work.

But adding this reality star women who walks around with a designer dog on the Housewives and thought she was better than all of them. I guess she has opened restaurants - but has she really or just paid people. .

But maybe other real restauranteurs can't work with Ramsay. Just air time for a woman who loves to show her behind. Please go back to original format!

Ramsay needs to poor it up a bit. Nobody cares about wine boxes and 30 dollar beach food, man... it is so disappointingly out of touch with the regular human. All about the flashy, richy locales and already-done food challenges that cater to losers with money. He seems to be concerned more with production values and imagery than with the actual modern food scene. Make a show about street food, about farm to table. Encourage your contestants to make the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant with honestly delicious and affordable food rather than fine dining BS that nobody actually likes. The BEST food is made and enjoyed by down to earth, humble folks; if Ramsay were to even ATTEMPT making a show that included and respected this population, he wouldn't be struggling with viewership.

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.
