That was huge, quester! I was so impressed. I also really love Ramsay on this show, and I've never really liked him before this. Whole different side, sort of, but still that edge.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Well, Ramsey's douchery is diluted by the other 2 chefs. The skinny one is more unpleasant, though he doesn't swear and the heavier one is a more pleasant presence than the other 2.

Thrive to spite them
I liked Gordon Ramsay from the UK Kitchen Nightmares. There's less yelling in that. Plus there were a lot of times when he was really encouraging of the different staffs, even if he hated the owners/head chefs. I know there were a few occasions when he offered people jobs or training because he was impressed by how well they did.

I guess I thought Ramsay was just all yelling and profanity? He seems much more helpful and thoughtful in this show.
Joe Bastianich is sort of scary, but I like him. He's got the whole cool air of mystery going. And Graham is just a big teddy bear.

He's only like that on Hell's Kitchen, and to a lesser degree the US Nightmares. Watch The F Word if you want to see him at his best.

Ah, I never bothered to learn the names of the other 2 chefs. Interesting.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Master Chef - I was annoyed that they don't introduce the chefs at the beginning of each episode - I missed the first few episodes. And I like that Ramsey is less of a hard-assed bastard in this show. Perhaps he's trying to live up to the name "Hell's Kitchen". But I also think that the contestants, in general, are less cut-throat than on HK.
I read somewhere that Ramsey's, um, language could be attributed to his past career as a professional football (soccer to us USians) player.
