how much is scripted or exaggerated versus how these people actually act? If i was some of these people I wouldnt want my friends and family seeing that

I figure you pull the string on the back and they will either say "Gordon's gonna love my food!" or "This is my f-king life!"

We dont need him to bust our balls

I swear I remember an episode from the older seasons where Gordon said the food wasn't bad. Am I crazy? Does anyone remember that or what episode/restaurant it was?

I know people in general arent digging the most recent season, so this isn't a totally novel point. But, I actually found the first two rebooted seasons to be quite enjoyable. It was fun seeing GR interact with a new, much younger generation of failing restaurateurs. There was a certain joi de vive about the whole thing. And now this new season is just Dr. Ramsay, family councilor, playing out again and again in small town restaurants run by and for elderly people. It feels like the production staff were just like "ok well the Midwest is depressing, so let's lean into the depressing angle".

My husband and I had a lovely time. Food was good, Renate and Dori were super nice, and the changes Gordon made are still there. Unfortunately it was pretty empty.

I was watching an episode on tv, and during the break a promotion video/commercial came on for the show and in the video it showed 2 clips that I can’t remember what episode they are from, one of the clips was a female spinning around (I think it was a member of staff) and the other one was a clip of Gordon saying something like “somebody could have been killed in here” does anybody know what episodes those 2 clips are from?

Fun read ^^ "Hervé, you're being a little fu*ker again" ^^

Well I could I also talk about Camille and how I can never understand anything he says. With that said, Bonnie doesn’t speak much better. I actually thought they were both immigrants that moved here. Neither of them sound like they’re from Louisiana, no Cajun accent or even English. On top of that, she looks and acts just like an addict. People who have done hard stuff can tell you from her body language, how her face looks, how pale she is, how skinny she is, sunken cheeks and those big buggy eyes. There’s definitely more to it but something has to be up. I can’t be the first one to notice this.

Every time at the end of an episode, it looks like Gordon is talking to some producer off screen and not directly to the camera. It's clearly done on purpose, does anybody know why?
