As you may know on the show "Kitchen Nightmares," the same thing happens every episode, with just the people changed and location changed. First, Gordon walks supposedly unannounced into the failing restaurant. Then he orders several dishes and criticizes each one as he tastes. 99% of the time, each dish tastes horrible.
I've wondered what would happen to the format of the show if he tasted a dish that tasted good. Gordon might say, "Wow, this is actually good. Hey Joe [the editor], we'll have to take that last comment out, got it? OK. Turn off the camera, I have to talk to the chef." Then Chef Ramsay might walk to the kitchen and tell the chef, "That dish actually tasted good. You need to make something that looks and tastes like pig slop, ok? I'll rip it apart, then you get offended, ok? Got it? OK. Let's try again."
I really believe this is how most reality shows truly go. :) Especially that one. My favorite dishes are the ones he gags on, or throws up after tasting them. Is it really possible for someone to make something that bad and be able to sell it?
