    This is even funnier when you know that Bob Ross was a drill sergeant before he did The Joy of Painting.

    If you watch the cooking shows with Gordon Ramsey dealing with kids, you would get half of it. He’s amazing with youngsters, and k ows exactly how to give them positive motivation. He saves his outbursts for the “professionals” who are being complete idiots. He also racks it up for American TV. He’s a lot more relaxed on UK TV.

      The series where he cooks in his own home was very relaxed. I only managed to watch American Hell’s Kitchen for a single episode - it feels like torture.

      The networks have a lot to do with this. The exact same recording on BBC is way less stressful than on FOX. The FOX versions are edited for maximum drama. I used to watch all of Gordon’s stuff and I hated watching the FOX versions.
