It appears Gordon Ramsay who was super hot for Channel 9 in 2007 is beginning to go the way of gladiator sandals and is on the way out.

Last week Hell’s Kitchen USA premiered on Channel 9 to very low ratings of 625,000 in the 9.30pm timeslot.  It is a wonder Channel 9 has not pulled it since they are the kings of the knee jerk reaction.

Here is what I see is wrong with the show:

They get on second rate chefs who have worked in cafeteria’s  and diners to ensure Gordon is able to humiliate them at every opportunity.

It is so obviously fake, and scripted, even Gordon’s “anger” is scripted especially when he closes the kitchen, and

It is Season 2, in the US they are showing Season 5, and Lifestyle showed Season 4 at the beginning of the year.

Personally I think Gordon is becoming a parody of himself, and obviously the stories of his infidelities has NOT helped his credibility. He needs to take some time out, refresh, and then return to television.

Hell’s Kitchen on Channel 9, Tuesday night at 9.30pm.

There will be a lot of Australian women disappointed when they learn that Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana will be escorting him when he comes out to Sydney and Melbourne this year for the Good Food and Wine Shows in June and July.

Gordon who when he was here last time alledgedly fraternised with a Julie Vidovic who then sold her story to New Idea. If you happened be holidaying in Bhutan when Gordan’s indiscretions broke click here for further details.

Tana is clearly taking no chances with her reality TV chef and his keeping a tight rein on him.

Author Kathy Lette Using Gordan Ramsay’s Philandering To Promote New Book.
Popular author Kathy Lette has been opportunistically using the reality TV chef’s philandering on his wife Tania to promote her book. She has sent her book To Love Honour and Betray (Til Divorce Us Do Part).

And has said Lette said she believed Tana Ramsay was handling the crisis the wrong way.
“I don’t think she should be doing that whole standing-by-my-man routine,” Lette said.
“When you have made your entire fortune from perpetuating the myth of being the ultimate family man … it’s hypocrisy.”

Either Gordon Ramsay is full of bollocks or the supposed Australian shag of his Julie Vidovic is.

Gordon has come out saying he had never heard of her. So is Julie an opportunist trying to make some cash out Gordon’s infidelities?

If Gordon is denying all his affairs, I think he also denied the Sarah Symonds one, and it is found to be true what does this do for his credibility? But maybe he is just trying to save his marriage.

Property consultant Julie Vidovic, 42, has claimed in a magazine that she slept with Ramsay on two occasions this year.

She has claimed she met Ramsay at Sydney’s The Ivy nightclub when she was drinking with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, a friend of hers.

Apparently she has sold her story to New Idea. By denying Julie’s claim has Gordon just ensured the story runs for another day?

Previous post on Gordon and his english mistress in a post called Gordon Ramsay Must Wish He Was French.

Julie Vidovic has been revealed as the mystery woman who allegedly shagged reality TV chef Gordon Ramsay in Sydney.

Gordon who recently got caught having an on and off mistress of seven years Sarah Symonds would appear to have a penchant for blondes. So all brunettes and redheads who would like a crack at Gordon (and these would be numerous in number) should head to a hair salon.

My theory of his blonde fetish may be confirmed next Friday night when the final episode of this series of Hell’s Kitchen airs with blonde Christina going head to head with Petrozza. We will have to see who will take out the title.

Famous reality TV chef Gordon Ramsay must wish he had kept his apparently large appendage in his pants after mistress Sarah Symonds sold her story to english tabloid News Of The World.

After denying last week that he did have a dalliance, it has been revealed that Sarah was not his only indiscretion. The Daily Telegraph were in lather when they found a local angle that there is possibly a Sydney women involved. They hopefully put in today’s paper the phone number for her to contact the paper to reveal all. If this girl wants to reveal her night with Gordon she will be selling her story.

Unlucky for the Hell’s Kitchen chef the country of his birth is very wowserish about infidelity, however if he was French this puritanical frenzy would not be occurring.

The then French President when asked to comment on former John Major’s British Cabinet, who at the time were resigning in droves due to sexual indiscretions said “I would be surprised if a Minister of mine did NOT have a mistress.”

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.

Here is a TV advertisement that suggests this is what Gordon Ramsey was like as a child.

It is quite amusing.
