Guilty Pleasures

I'm not much for reality TV shows. Their brand of competition usually bores me. The "characters" are like actors in a Lifetime made-for-tv movie. *Not exactly my cup o'tea* (Yes, that was a British accent). That said, I'm enjoying my recent discovery--Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Each episodes features a restaurant that's in dire straits (financial, managerial, food, etc...). Ramsay comes in as an expert chef and restaurateur to "whip them into shape". Quite amusing.
