Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back

Being a huge Gordon Ramsay show of course I watched 24 Hours to Hell and Back. Was it my favourite format for one of his shows? No, it wasn't?

Was it still enjoyable? Of course it was.

The whole show was exhausting just watching it.

I'm not sure if its all that believable. Are you legally allowed to work your staff that long? Isn't it dangerous under those conditions?

Did they sign some kind of waiver to do so?

The mind actually boogles.

I'd be curled up in a corner under a chair after 10 hours regardless of if Gordon was going to come yell and scream at me, actually the idea of that excites me. Lol.

Unlike Kitchen Nightmares, its not a show I would bother rewatching.

I wanted to like this new series as I remember GR doing series in the U.K. maybe 15 years ago. But, this appears to be so scripted and "fake". Maybe it will get better but show lost it's place on the DVR. I have a hard time understanding how with editing tv shows just can't hold their audience, at least make me want to watch the next episode.

It was not horrible, nor was it great, but it seemed more of the same as it was basically, "Kitchen Nightmares" but with the lame twist of having only 24 hours to revamp an eatery. Things seemed rushed, people MUST have been very tired doing this overnight. The set up of the show is that a failing eatery is supposedly being filmed for renovation, but unknown to them, Gordon Ramsay, is really doing his typical Kitchen Nighmare show instead. When they revealed it was actually Gordon, there was not much surprise shown, and the entire show seemed a bit set up and fake in some ways. Maybe the idea is just getting old, or maybe it never was all that real to begin with, but the drama seems way over the top, and everything comes together too well in most of these shows. Not a lot of finesse and just comes off seeming staged a bit.

Compaired to kitchen nightmares this series moves too fast and looses some of its original appeal . The 24 hours deadline does not make up for this . Lets face it , Gordon Ramsay throwing rotten food at a lousy "chef " is still very entertaining , hehe . In some episodes u wonder if owners should be helped , but then u need get creative and find some employee-s that are likable so u can hope they can keep their jobs , as to keep some kind of intrest in a good outcome. All in all this should really be rated clearly lower then the kitchen nightmare series UK and US .

It has everything you love about Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell. I would love to see Gordon work with a restaurant for a month. He does so much great stuff in one day but you can't change peoples bad habits that quick.
