The Nightmare Method

It's a solo Peach episode! (But it's not Shag's fault! Peach is overseas and recorded this one before his departure.)

This episode we go back to the very start - Gordon's first starring role in a reality TV series. It's a chance to reflect on how far (or how not far?) our host has come in his approach to (i) people of marginalised genders, (ii) fat-shaming, (iii) racism against the French, and (iv) shareholder dispute litigation.

Please join us as we go back to the start!

This one was so not a Peach's Pick, but Shag's insights revealed its majesty as we worked through it.

One of the drearier American episodes is saved by Gordon's incredible confrontations with Gordon. Gordon is all hostility. Nino is all non sequitur. And we love it.

(And spoiler: Michael was the bad guy all along.)

Now say it with us: "IIIIIIIII'm NINO!"

And so we return for the second have of another of Peach's Picks!

We return to Hampshire, a county filled with swimming pools and (as we come to learn thrillingly!) Fat Idiots.

This episode is so dense it required a two parter, and we are so proud to share this conclusion with you.

And so we return to England and return to another one of Peach's Picks!

We enter the world of Hampshire, a county so rich that (as Gordon observes) they are awash with swimming pools, to visit The Granary.

This episode is so dense it required a two parter, and it contains two of Peach and Shag's Gordon insults.

Just don't forget to invite Gordon to the launch of your next dining club, and please join us again for another episode of The Nightmare Method.

The second part of a two parter on 'Kitchen Nightmares' final boss: Amy's Baking Company.

It's an iconic episode of the TV show. It's the episode that Shag shows anyone who's never seen the show before. It's the episode with Peach's favourite Gordon performance.

It's the episode so nice Peach and Shag had to cover it twice!

So let's get into it...

The first part of a two parter on 'Kitchen Nightmares' final boss: Amy's Baking Company.

It's an iconic episode of the TV show. Indeed, it's one of the most iconic episodes of reality TV of any kind, ever. This week Peach and Shag take the slow boil approach, spending over an hour working through just the first 20 minutes of the episode.

As we learn: there's a lot going on! So let's get into it...

We think we might hate Gordon? Aaaand we are pretty certain we hate Manny?

It's the month TNM's evolution into a Gordon Ramsay disillusionment podcast gathered a little more momentum, as Shag and Peach (for reasons best known to Peach!) explored what is broadly thought of as one of the worst episodes of the show's history.

Can Gordon save the marriage? Do people buy restaurants while getting their hair cut? Is a "flushing" Queens joke evidence of a rotten brain?

Let's find out...

Maybe Gordon is really not a good guy?

As Peach's (and maybe Shag's?) disillusionment with Gordon becomes one of the undercurrents of 'The Nightmare Method' we thought we would have a quick check in with Sofia Vergara's interview on Jay Leno's show on 2010.

Gordon is a fellow guest, and Ms Vegara is visibly and audibly uncomfortable in Gordon's presence. Gordon is undeniably gross. His conduct is truly dehumanising.

Here Peach and Shag give this event a quick TNM review (after Peach eventually sends Shag the correct link!) to make sure this is an event we can acknowledge here on TNM.

First broadcast a week after Gordon's stellar performance at Sebastian's, we have a definitively mid Gordon visiting Hamptons restaurant, Finn McCool's

Gordon goes to war with a Leprechaun looking chef, a cop (who is, in all likelihood according to Peach's expert analysis, corrupt), and our attention spans.

There's very little Guinness, but there's great craic!

So, Gawdon, where the fuck are ya?

This week we have a toxic masculinity tussle, and arguably the defining episode of the whole show. When we imagine Gordon in our minds it is the 2007-era Gordon of Sebastian's that we see.

There's a degree of delusion in this episode, as Sebastian strains to imagine himself inside an 'Entourage' episode kicking off an international franchise.

(And if you can remember all of the Sebastian's flavour combinations you win a prize!)
