    It is because the chefs in the American series are pre-madonna arrogant amateur brats that can't take criticism. I think his shows are ace, if you have ever seen his UK 'kitchen nightmares' series you will know that his bluntness and brutalness have resulted in saving restaurant owners businesses and homes.
    Initially it is brutal for them, but by the end of the weeks they are in tears of joy.

      Agreed 100%. On the sidenote, Gordon Ramsay is the best chef alive.

              I wouldn't Say all Chefs in America! I for one am a Chef and would love to spend 1 day with Ramsay just to learn as much as possible i think i have some good skills in the kitchen but i know i am not even close to being amazing and would love to be criticized by Chef Ramsay.

                He/she didn't say "all chefs in America". He/she said: "It is because the chefs in the American series are"

                      I went on a cruise in 2010 with Carnival and there where a lot of Americans, all they wanted was to get noticed, talk louder then anyone, do everything better then others, still they are fatter then anyone else and more.
                      I never watch reality shows worst coming from the US this primitive country that as not evolve the we do everything better then everyone mentality and they ask why the rest of the world hate then.

                        Why do you think Gordon refuses to watch these damn shows. They suck, and he knows it. The UK series, total contrast.

                            That's because it didn't have shiny objects to keep your short, undeveloped American attention span.

                                Nah it still works but Fox likes to dramatize everything and hype up everything like there is no tomorrow.

                                  I'll tell you what the biggest differences to me are:
                                  We in the US are generally short attention span brats. We need histrionics and cash prizes. The US shows always contain the ultra drama andif having a successful business out of it isn't good enoughwe expect brand new decor, brand new fixtures, overnight make-overs and expensive mentors.
                                  The UK version is completely about the love of the business. For a while, the only "prizes" they got were a signed clock and a return visit or such.

                                      In the first episodes he was quieter, polite, and he didn't rip off his shirt in fury, now he just follows the listed formula. Very sad indeed.

                                        You can thank Fox. They've had some good actions shows, dramas, comedies over time but their reality and variety programming likes to amp up sensationalism and lower intelligence. Remember, these are the people that brought us such classics as "When Animals Attack 4," "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" and shelved their own gameshow "Our Little Genius" before it aired due to being rigged.
                                        Each season has slowly gotten better. They cut back on a lot of the crap in the last few years but the BBC version is still the superior show.

                                          You are 100% right!
                                          I was comparing the two versions and i came up with the same conclusion.
                                          The UK episodes are less boring, "real" and authentic.
                                          In US it all seems the same thing, only scenary changes, and it seems that i am watching pure fiction.
                                          It's a shame.. but well.. unfortunately i understand why..
