    Ramsey is abusive, but that’s also what makes it good television.

    I’ve tried watching other cooking contest shows. It’s just not as fun.

    The way I console myself is by telling myself that most of the people on set are arrogant and awful too.

      Great Br*tish Bake Off is not abusive and fun to watch in my opinion

        My only issue with it is Paul looks like the manager at a overpriced used car lot.

        I’ll have to give it a shot sometime.

        I tried the Netflix cooking contest one, and it was just too positive and polished.

          GBBO is super positive and polished (except the host's 'comedy')

      I actually prefer straight demo shows, like America’s test kitchen and a lot of the PBS lineup. Cooking doesn’t need to be competitive.

        Yeah I think the focus being on food and craftsmanship sets good demo shows above the rest. Good Eats made me fall in love with cooking as a kid and reality TV cooking shows will never fill that gap.

      I dunno if it's true anymore, but I freaking loved Masterchef Australia. The hosts were wholesome as fuck, just always smiling and shit. No cheap drama (afair).
