He’s been accused of bullying the hapless contestants on his various TV shows, faking incidents on an alleged reality show (but—but—it’s reality teevee!! Say it ain’t so, Gordon!), and killing bunny rabbits just to boost ratings. But now that he’s begun eating the contestants, Gordon Ramsay (pictured here in a plausible artist’s reconstruction) may have crossed a line:
Celebrity British chef Gordon Ramsay has reportedly eaten a dish containing the thumb of a contestant in his new US reality TV show, Hell’s Kitchen…. When Gordon realised, he said: “Oh God - finger pancetta.” But he didn’t stop the challenge and sampled the dish, saying: “It tastes weird,” The Sun reported.
Personally, I see nothing objectionable here. A spot of cannibalism might be just what the Survivor franchise needs to boost its sagging ratings. And if one of the cable news networks—Fox, CNN, MSNBC, I’m not picky—were to sign Ramsay up to create an updated version of Meet the Press, something where politicians were hunted and killed for sport and then cooked up in a variety of savory, innovative dishes, I for one would tune in every single week.
