Do you watch Masterchef?
I have a few times, my mom is really into cooking shows, so I watched them a lot growing up, and still catch a few now and then.
It is my favorite I really like Masterchef Junior though. Those kids are inspiring.
Yeah, Gordon can be pretty supportive too, and soft spoken, which is surprising. 
I know. He is rarely like that in Hell's Kitchen.
Yeah, and mostly near the end. When its the first few rounds I think he feels they haven't earned any sort of sympathy or support, since things are just starting out.
