Gordon Ramsey must be feeling like those contestants on his show Hell’s Kitchen after he has given them a bollocking – totally humiliated.

It has been revealed everywhere that he has been having a seven year affair with Sarah Symonds, a professional mistress.

Details of their tryst have been revealed in that quality rag http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk. They kindly told us that Gordon likes to dabble in amyl nitrate.

Now a few questions were raised in my mine about the article. How in the hell does he find the time to have an affair, and how do you drink two bottles of wine in 75 minutes?

Anyway Tania his wife is standing by him at this point. And I presume Ramsay is trying to hunt down the person who leaked the story to the tabloids. I wouldn’t want to be that person once he finds out who it is as they will be totally roasted.

Shanina Shaik must have been wondering last night whether the cheating scandal, where she bribed Tom with sexual favours to help her with a challenge cost her the title of the show Make Me A Supermodel.

Shanina looked suitably shocked and upset when Rhys name was called out as the winner.

Yes he was the nicest but was he the most deserving winner? The teeny boppers that vote in this show may have not liked that Shanina as she was also the third party in a love triangle.

More savvier (ok I mean older viewers) would realise the angst that Tom was showing over cheating on his teenage girlfriend was just the usual puppy love hiccups that occurs, NOT some huge betrayal of her.

I know it would have felt like that for him and her, but looking back they will wonder what the drama was all about. It would appear they have broken up by now by what he was saying on the TV.

Shanina will take heart from the fact that Demelza Reveley, winner of this year’s Australia’s Next Top Model, who was protagonist in a bullying scandal has gone on to continue her modelling career.

An article from blogger Amuse-biatch (this is the best blog name I have seen in at least six months) states that Anthony Bourdain does not think the gorgeous Padam Lakshmi is the sharpest tool in the shed.

The Miami Herald News said:
“…Bourdain said he was a huge fan of host and fellow chef Tom Colicchio but snubbed co-host…Padma Lakshmi. Jabbing at the beauty’s intelligence, he said she wouldn‘t be his first choice for Barack Obama’s cabinet…[sic]or to host a show.”

Gee Anthony comparing her to other female reality TV hosts she looks like she is a member of mensa.

In other Top Chef news last night on Top Chef Season 4, Nikki was eliminated after the horrendous 24 hour catering for a wedding challenge. The only person who was excited by the challenge was Andrew who said he had a “culinary boner”.

Here on Yum Sugar is an interview with Nikki talking about her time on the show and what her future plans are.

Now we know judge Martin Walsh’s view on the final three. Click here if you don’t, but now in TV Week Jennifer Hawkins has revealed her thoughts on the final three models fighting it out for the title on Make Me A Supermodel.

On Rhys she says:
“Rhys has got a chiselled face and small features and everybody loves him – he is a nice guy to be around. He looks like David Beckham and the young girls love him, so he’s in with a good chance. Rhys is becoming a great model – he’s grown a lot in the competition. His lack of confidence is probably his only downfall. He can go into his shell a bit at photo shoots and doubt himself. But I guess that confidence comes with practice and experience. We’ll see how that goes.”

Her favourite photo shoot was when he was in the water tank with the snake.

On Shanina she says:
I met Shanina at her first audition and I liked her look straightaway. She has a different look, her eyes are absolutely beautiful and she’s a nice girl, too. At the start we were worried that she didn’t have any versatility but I think she’s doing really well now. It’s hard to pick a negative because at this stage, with all three, it’s just nitpicking. But maybe the ‘cheating scandal’ from last week could factor into the audience’s decision to vote or not vote for her.”

Jen’s favourite moment was the tango photo’s with Issac.

On Courtney she says:
Courtney has a really unique look, plus she’s a nice girl as well. Probably the only downfall with Courtney is that she can look too sweet and cheeky on shoots – she really needs to bring a little bit of sexiness to the set as well. But over the last few weeks, she’s learned how to bring that out a bit more. Courtney’s a gorgeous girl and a lot of people have a very unique look now when they’re doing catwalk overseas, so I think she’s got a good future ahead of her.

Jen’s favourite Courtney moment was the outside gothic shoot.

It was a pity he did not have it done prior to the swim suit shoot, as he had high anxiety that everyone was going to see his bulge.

The other thing about this season is that Sutan the make up artist who you barely saw in earlier cycles got a cameo and judging part in the Wal-Mart Cover Girl challenge. Also in this challenge Chrissy Barker, who is Nigel Barker’s wife was also involved. So it was keeping it in the ANTM family.

The first name called at judging was Elina. The bottom two were Analeigh and Brittany, with Brittany eliminated for not bonding with the camera.

Personally I think if Isis was a girl she would have been eliminated by now or probably not even on the show.

Here is an exit interview with Brittany on Buddy TV.
