In what may just be the best case of prophetic naming this TV season, NBC’s reality cooking show Chopping Block has been, well, put on the chopping block. The show debuted March 12th and aired only 3 episodes before being cut from the lineup. NBC plans to run old episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in its place.
Did anyone actually watch this show? I only knew it existed because Best Week Ever once lampooned how everyone on the show would incessantly make cheesey puns based on the show’s name– about people being “chopped.”
If I had known that it was hosted by Gordon Ramsay’s former mentor, Marco-Pierre White, I might have bothered to watch the first episode. Reportedly, White once made Ramsay cry when he was a cooking school student and the two have had a big falling out in recent years.
In response to the news, Chef Ramsay inexplicably changed his shirt a few times on camera, cursed alot, then whipped up a delicious roast with a hot side of schadenfreude.
I watched it. I started to write about it the other day but then got locked out of the Dashboard. You’ll probably see my pathetic draft around there somewhere.
White basically wagged his finger, bounced his curls and clucked his tongue for 38 minutes per episode. A snooze.
“Chopped” on Food Network is good. Not cruel, reality shit like this one WAS. I hate assholes in the kitchen. HATE them.
Gordon Ramsey is a chick with a dick!
Gordon Ramsay is a God among men and I will challenge anyone who disagrees to a championship bout of leg wrestling for his honor. FYI: I am UNBEATABLE in leg wrestling.
hahahahahahahahahaHA!
I watched chopping block… but it got obnoxious pretty quickly. It’s one thing to see egos flying around when people have real talent, but the contestants aren’t THAT good at what they do…
Marco is one tough cookie and of ALL the chefs who didn’t belong on sanitized American lame-ass TV, he would be one.
Now on to the important bit… I would like to do some really inappropriate things to Gordon Ramsey that involved sausage casings. ;)
his forehead creeps the hell outta me!
this is one man i would encourage to grow bangs. ick.
Ramsay could store bus fare in those forehead creases.
Whatever, SVU is pretty much the best show on TV. More episodes airing, the better!
“inexplicably changed his shirt a few times on camera”
Absolutely fuckin’ perfect! My husband and I place bets over how long it will take him to disrobe each show.
What a douche.
I like Gordon, he’s just got this “I take zero bullshit” attitude.. which makes him so likeable. Ive seen some interviews with him and he seems like a great person to be around when he isn’t surrounded by food lol.
