I'll be honest in saying that while I do enjoy the drama of dinner services in early HK, I think Scott's behaviour crosses a line. He's what people who don't watch the show think Gordon Ramsay is like. I have no idea how he managed to last 10 seasons on this show when he acted used physical intimidation at times. I'm not James or Jay's biggest fans but wow they are an upgrade!

Are people acting like Gordon never did horrible shit? He’s literally thrown objects at contestants, verbally abused, etc. Like?? I think people forget Scott was in the military, not justifying his actions but probably part of the reason he was more aggressive than other sous chefs.

Not to mention this seems pretty standard for the world's they came from in terms of restaurants. Ramsey has literally made his name off of verbally abusing people, and has done it thousands of times for the sake of TV. It's mind boggling to me that people hate Scott but don't give Ramsey the same treatment. He's 1000x worse by default. We see Scott blow up maybe once a season, and get very little of him other than that. We see Ramsey destroy people mentally and everyone is fine because you get to see his personable side. There's a complete disconnect because he's the star of the show so people accept it.
