Gordon Ramsey’s bank balance

[Adrian W]

It’s so bad it had to be a parody having seen the first two couples.

[SlimJim16v]

I didn't make it halfway. It felt like it was more about people shouting at each other than playing a game.

[anonymous-user]

Absolutely st. And to think I've had to admit to watching ITV for this.

[Jasey_]

Not sure how the wheel chair contestant will cope !

[popeyewhite]

All GR's TV output is awful.

[AlexRS2782]

The awful, self narrated by Ramsey, promo sting they've been running for the last week or so, was enough to remember to watch something else

Yes, they've certainly ticked the diversity boxes early.

[willy wombat]

Caught the last 15 minutes. It was like little kids playing with building blocks. No thanks.

[SS2.]

Thought I'd give this a swerve beforehand.

Seems it lived up to expectations and the right choice was made.

Yes, absolutely this.

After being bombarded by the promo umpteen times for the past fortnight, I'd rather have shoved wasps up my a*se than watched it. As it happens, I didn't have to, as there was a very good episode of Endeavour on t'other side.

The title sounds like one of Alan Partridges TV show ideas.

Youth hosteling with Chris Eubank?
Monkey tennis?
Gordon Ramsey's bank balance?

[Jim the Sunderer]

Dire, too many rules, gimmicks and backstories.

I think I packed it in before the first question was even asked.

[willy wombat]

And in the 15 minutes I saw, the contestant, asked to name three US states that start with a vowel, kicked off with “Atlanta”. Where do they find these people?

[Oakey]

Is 'a' not a vowel?

It is, but Atlanta isn't a state.
It was you on the show wasn't it

[dukeboy749r]

Atlanta isn't a state.

Not when it's followed by a "t ".

I liked the girl that said Manchester was a capital city north of London

Although the boy did correct her before she pressed the button .

They also said Paris. So no, they get no sympathy.

Thick as pigst. Seems to be the common theme on many game shows.

This show will die a very quick death, it was appalling. Even Ramsey throwing in some expletives didn’t lift it.


I can’t believe they didn’t have a mixed race transgender couple, on the show. Not inclusive enough......

Luckily you didn't, it was on BBC1!

It was shocking.... Why would Ramsey lower himself to this? I can take him or leave him, but world class chef, come TV star now trying to be a gameshow host, what's next Bargain Hunt? And the contestants, Jeez.... we're looking at the wrong end of the gene pool here...
