And the antiques were hideous.

Matched the drag-queen look of Flouncey Laura.

Did you notice the nice female chef had ditched the deathly black hair dye by the end, too?

MascaraOHara · 06/12/2006 10:39

I liked Emma the chef and the horse-faced one (Helen?) he made the right decision there didn't he.

The stroppy one and the mother - blimey!

Agree it was absolutely a hobby for them, when the mother was running the show she didn't even know how much was coming in or going out?!?!

Bugsy2 · 06/12/2006 10:40

It was classic tv. I don't usually watch it, but was absolutely gripped from start to finish. Thought it was really interesting how Gordon was aggressive with all the time wasters and so sweet & gentle with the great little cook & the sensible daughter.
Do you think those women wear that much make up all of the time - or was it just cos they were being filmed?

ledodgychristmasjumper · 06/12/2006 10:42

Oh no they will wear that much make up all the time you should see liverpool city centre on a Saturday day they're dressed up to the nines just to go shopping well sometimes they dress down in their Juicy couture. I spent my twenties avoiding bars in Liverpool where these types of people hang out. They never ever wear coats either.

onzephyrstdayofchristmas · 06/12/2006 10:43

...and then Gordon took his shirt off...

DumbledoresGirl · 06/12/2006 10:44

Oh yes, he has a lovley chest, I grant you that.

Shame his face looks like he has left it in water too long.

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 06/12/2006 10:44

so is it a liverpool thang then?
I don't think I have ever seen anyone looking like that in London!

DumbledoresGirl · 06/12/2006 10:45

Good god it has just come to me who Gordon Ramsey looks like (face anyway) - a Cabbage Patch Doll!

NotAnOtter · 06/12/2006 10:45

liverpool ahhhhh!

Bugsy2 · 06/12/2006 10:47

I think he looks like a bull dog - too much skin & so very creased. Can't for the life of me understand how anyone could fancy him.

ledodgychristmasjumper · 06/12/2006 10:47

Yes. It's so strange sometimes you find yourself walking behind a group of them and they all have the same bleached blonde straight hair and are identical from the back. The scariest is when you see this from the back and a woman turns round and she has the face of an eighty year old...shudder.

NotAnOtter · 06/12/2006 10:48

lol

David Baddiel described this syndrome once. His take on it was that he was always quite relieved when it happened, as it meant that, contrary to first impressions, there was now one woman fewer to have to fancy unrequitedly.

TinsellyRhino · 06/12/2006 10:54

I love Gordon Ramsey

JackieNoHoHo · 06/12/2006 11:30

I believe the phenomenon is known as 'BOBFOC', ie Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch .

JackieNoHoHo · 06/12/2006 11:30

(that's the women, not Gordon, though now I come to think about it...)

expatinscotland · 06/12/2006 11:31

If you stood those gals next to a radiator, they'd melt.

Looked like they put on their slap w/a trowel.

WHO finds that attractive?

Never mind, I don't want to know.

expatinscotland · 06/12/2006 11:32

I saw a gaggle of WAGs at Gleneagles this summer and they were frightening - in a Wacko Jacko sort of way, too.

Also Known as "Kronenbourg's" or "1664's"

16 from the back - 64 from the front !!

speedySleighmamahohoho · 06/12/2006 16:38

I could not believe that the flouncy one had a degree in Business. DH and I were also trying to work out what happened to her colour.

The restaurant was a debacle! How could the mother be so clueless about her accounts if she had run a successful antique business in the past?

At least Gordon managed to turn it around and I was delighted that my prediction came true when the girl became the head chef. The other guy should never had been the head chef because he knew nothing about cooking and I doubt he has the discipline or temperament to become one.

noddyholder · 06/12/2006 16:39

swoon

southeastastra · 06/12/2006 16:42

i love that show. but how can they hire a chef who had no experience at all in the first place?

my dp moaned all the way through it that gordon's use of the f word lessened it's impact and he should have used it more wisely .

ProfYaffle · 06/12/2006 16:42

lol at this thread. dh was most traumatised by those women, kept bleating 'but I can't see past her nose!' about the sensible one all the way through.
