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.

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. -

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. -

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.. -

I'm an American and I couldn't agree more. Love the UK series; can barely tolerate the crybabies in the US version. The American version is all about the "big reveal", and that's just materialistic window-dressing. It's like a game show all that's missing is the announcer reading off the list of "fabulous prizes". I wonder how Gordon feels about the differences between the two series. I'd like to think he prefers the UK format.
