so for the first couple of nights not all the guests were fed.... why complain about not getting a free dinner !!!! (cheapskates)
the chefs are doing great they have come on in leaps and bounds, gordan has motivated them and they have responded.”
I agree Angus Deayton doesnt work on this show. His sarcasm is mis placed and I keep thinking, could you do it Angus? However he is better than the usual ITV hosts (Ant n Dec, Cat Deeley, Davina Mcall, Mel Sykes etc).
I agree about the freeloading celebs in the restaurant too. In fact it makes me sick that the people who can
easily afford to pay for a slap up meal are the ones who are getting it all for free. Seeing that Times food critic with his hanger on mates on Wednesday night made my skin crawl. They had the cheek to slag off the food despite the fact I bet none of them could cook for toffee and they only got the meal because they were with a food critic. What makes a food critic anyway???
This is my problem with the show, the kitchen stuff is OK but I get annoyed seeing the likes of Foxy & Vic Reeves who arent short of a bob or two grabbing a free meal. Why didnt they invite a cross section of people from all walks of life, people who would never get the chance to sample Gordon's food again. Well I suppose it wouldnt make great TV in this celeb obbsessed country we live in!
