A kitchen nightmare?
I'm not a fan of "reality TV". In fact I'm not a fan of most TV, despite the fact that I probably watch a bit too much of it. Much of what is broadcast in our direction, particularly on DSTV, is complete dross but for once I'm going to restrain myself and not rant about DSTV.

Before I explain why I love it, I feel obliged to say that I can't normally abide Gordon Ramsay.  He's everything I despise about the TV food industry at the moment.  He's a personality, a celebrity, a character who is more important than the food he allegedly cooks.  When I'm in a restaurant I don't really care about the personality, arrogance and ego of the person who cooks my food, I am only interested in whether it tastes good, is served hot and comes in large enough portions.  Ramsay is the opposite of that, he's a media-constructed TV chef, famous only for his incredible rudeness and arrogance.  The food comes in second place when Ramsay is on screen.
