If I had BBC I would tell you, from what I've seen both blow away the American versions, I give the win to Top Gear because the US version is worse than the American version of KNs.   But it's close.

It's Kitchen nightmares for me since I don't really care about cars. I'm a picky eater and don't eat that big of a variety of food but I still have to give the not to kitchen nightmares. The british version is actually a legit tv show and good to watch if you actually care about food.

I like watching the American version the same way some people watch professional wrestling. It has a very predictable outline for every episode. It is oddly amusing to see ramsay argue with every stubborn owner, berate food for being raw/bland/having too much parsley or spices and to watch every botched dinner service and kitchen inspection. It's completely scripted but that's basically all of the fun and needed to get ramsay to make rants like:"You're cooking RAW food big boy! I could have been killed eating that, the garlic sauce is just ghastly. You have the name tag, the big jacket but you're a FAKE chef happy to microwave store bought F****** RAW CRAB!"

Top Gyros. Definitely. As much as I'd like to eat Ramsay's food, he is far too up his own arse to be interesting to watch on the telly.

Originally posted by Jim Garten Top Gear, all the way - completely ego-driven (no pun intended) by three genuinely entertaining stereotypes; nothing to do with cars realy anymore, just a entertainment comedy show with cars in the background.

I agree. I really don't want to watch Ramsay shouting at people.

Originally posted by The Bearded Bard Top Gear, although I don't care about cars. I just like the (typical british) humor of, and between, the presenters.

Originally posted by Dean ^ It's not my clip - it's YouTubes.     My only criticism is they concentrate far too much on cars that few of us can even dream of owning - while Ferraris and Lambos are fun to look at and drool over, there will never be one parked on my drive. Ordinary cars have almost disapeared from the program, unless it is to ridicule them.

I've come to love Top Gear but my one complaint isn't the cars I'll never own but the cars that I've never heard of. The supercars they drive I've at least heard of. I've never in my life seen an Alfa, Lancia, Fiat Panda, etc.

And none of them exist here in the states
