His latest persona on Masterchef is the same stereo-typical over the top angry head chef (which he NEVER used to do as much as he does on US tv) and the show is so lacking of tension you have to endure the most boring pre break ciff hanger:

"Stephanie, you cooked a Tomato and basil soup......*long pause*.......it doesnt taste as good as you'd expect with the one hour cooking time you we're given. I'm sorry to say Stephanie, it really doesn't taste good................."

Cue for commercials

Show comes back and the whole section is repeated.

Then Gordon sentance is completed with................"it doesn't taste good...................IT TASTES GREAT" and she breathes a sigh of relief......arrrrrrrrgh

And how many times are they going to make him shout at contestants on his shows...
"This chicken is RAAAAAAAAW.....you're going to KILL somebody" followed by lobbing the chicken filet across the room.

You're right. . not much real tension
But I still love seeing idiots put into their place
