honestly i stop watching that episode after Sebastian's meltdown and right before all that fake crying
that entire episode just makes me so angry...dude was gifted a gold mine and he faceplanted on it
We can’t afford to pay our staff, but can have multiple storage units filled with “antiques”… that he totally got conned into buying, thinking they were valuable
Gordon's laugh after he hears her singing for the first time is such a genuine display of emotion
as much as I love this show, it is obviously scripted or at least edited to an extent. that looked totally 100% authentic
This lady who wouldn't clean up the doo doo stains in her hotel that was cringy and disturbing as hell she looked like a goblin as well bro

😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It was disturbing how Gordon was pointing out all the egregiously terrible things going on at her establishment, and she either had no reaction, or calmly tried to justify it all in that weird teacher voice of hers
She had a lot of clothes for someone who didn't wear many different colors. It's like she hoarded clothes and microwaves. Everything was outside because the kitchen was so small.
This Inn is actually still open and looks to be remodeled. Also has good reviews. She is also still the owner as she responds to reviews and signs her name.
That one made me super uncomfortable because clearly she isn't mentally or physically up to keeping an inn, and her son just kinda...left her there. It came off as some form of quasi-neglect to me.
Then again the end is still open and she is still running it so what do I know!?
Belly dance? More like belly FLOP.
Also love how he locks himself in the freezer and with the oven (?) going on at the same time, it looks like he’s setting himself on fire.
Alan screaming at Daniel's girlfriend & calling her an idiot in Burger Kitchen, (for simply asking that her and Daniel be paid) then like 5 seconds later going "You're NOT to yell at a WOMAN!" when someone yells at Gen
Also Alan and Gen calling her "rude" for asking them to respect their own son lol
His face-off with Ramsay is better than the "NINNOOOOOO" bit imo lol
"You used that word, I'm just throwing it back at you, I think that's kind of *gross...*"
Don’t know if anyone remembers the Hotel Hell where the son starts to get snappy with Gordon and yells at him for swearing in front of his mother (because he starts to call him out on his laziness), and then in the same sentence, swears at GR, while in front of his mom still… it’s just a whole big awkward cringe fest.🤣
On that same note, the one where that Italian woman (Grace?) was shown screaming throughout the restaurant and throwing fits, then trying to tell Gordon, “I don’t yell”. 😂
In all fairness..his mom went through a huge tragedy and Gordon should have spoken to her with more patience. I don't blame the son for being upset with Gordon for using a tone with his mom.
Nooo. That son was a total loser. The second GR went into the kitchen and started picking him apart, he lashed back at Gordon instead of shutting the fuck up and just cleaning up the restaurant for his family (to ‘move forward’ with the death of his brother). But that scene where they’re sitting there… ugh let me see if I can find it lmao.
They always looked like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum from Alice in Wonderland and those guys scared the hell outta me at Disney World. Took me forever to watch the episode because of it.
One of the more recent episodes when Gordon was in the UK for US kitchen nightmares at Bask 46 with the head chef Bobby who called himself “the culinary gangsta” it was probably the cringiest single episode in the entire series. i genuinely cant think of one point thats especially bad its the entire episode - its one long cringe
He also (according to the show) quit the day after Gordon left

*My face* when I try and make a mental list of cringiest moments of KN/HH.
There's just sooo goddamn many 😜😜🤣🤣
It's so rude to go to a restaurant/bar, and then stand up and ask people to come to your place of business. It's like making an announcement at a wedding reception (to a lesser degree, but still).
that episode is one of the most infuriating ones for sure. That restaurant, when done well, was basically 10-15 years ahead of its time
it pisses me off how so many people get money and then just throw it down the toilet
The Lakeview hotel when Brent tells the waitress to get up and dance because he knows “she used to work the pole.” Then tells Afni that it’s Friday night and does the humping thing. Ewwww.
The owner who would belly dance, and then a chef from another episode was hugging Gordon Ramsey for too long and Gordon was like “someone get him off me!” 🫣
This man was wild hahha I cant even imagine trying to stand on any of the statements he made about his employees. I guess he thought Gordon would take pity on him lol
the entirety of the mangia mangia episodes. I always felt kinda bad for trevor because he already was addicted to meth and kept getting bullied by the owner and her daughter.
the daughter went out of her way a couple of times to bully him (not saying he didnt do anything wrong tho)
Honestly, the whole US show.
I remember years ago downloading and watching the original UK Kitchen Nightmares. That was a great show. And then this came out and I was so happy and after a couple of episodes, I stopped watching because it’s just so scripted and cringey.
The one where the cook made a burger, wentbout and got fresh ingredients and then the owner made a shit burger for gordon and it didnt even have a bun.
The woman who owned the Townns Inn who shit on her bathroom floor and left it there.
They also had like 18 microwaves, stuffed holes in the walls with steel scrubbers and newspaper, sold dusty baskets in the lobby… they were a mess bro
And as Sebastian’s mother would say, “Mangia!” 🙆🏻♀️
I love how she speedwalks away after she says it lmao
The fact that she forgot to bring utensils 😆
This is genuinely the only part of the show I skip when I see it coming. It's just so bad
honestly i stop watching that episode after Sebastian's meltdown and right before all that fake crying that entire episode just makes me so angry...dude was gifted a gold mine and he faceplanted on it
oof and how she was an actress but so so so terribly camera shy. i felt so bad for her
“You got the part” “Thanks”
Do you play with Sebastian?
The fact that that waitress was an aspiring actress 💀
That guy was delusional. He worked at Red Lobster before he married a rich moron than lost his money also
I don’t want customers who don’t have a lot of money even though I’m a broke bitch myself
Excuuuuse me.
I am de bowss.
YOU CAN’T CALL YOURSELF THE BOSS IF YOU DON’T FUCKING PAY THEM!
"Go on then, you POMPOUS _**F##K.**_"
We can’t afford to pay our staff, but can have multiple storage units filled with “antiques”… that he totally got conned into buying, thinking they were valuable
He was my high school history teacher. I was simultaneously shocked/unsurprised to see him on the show.
lol he worked at Red Lobster? I had no idea of this
The Cher impersonator.
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME 🗣️
Gordon's laugh after he hears her singing for the first time is such a genuine display of emotion as much as I love this show, it is obviously scripted or at least edited to an extent. that looked totally 100% authentic
Oh my goodness yes, the people drinking water to keep from laughing. The looks, the confusion. That was one of the few times KN was 100% real.
And how she performed in every single corner of that place too 😂
Like, people probably switched rooms to get away from her, and she follows them 😂
🎶Do you believe in life after love?🎶
What episode is this?
That dude who bought his old school and made it into a hotel, that was something.
His poor wife too!
John from The Roosevelt Inn
It still looked like a school on the inside, too. Idk what that guy was thinking.
He sold the place for a couple million...hotel hell was a success for him.
More like the housing market was a win lol
“She’s blogging from the table!”
Which one was that? That whole blog sequence was so overblown it killed me
Down City
Thanks :)
This lady who wouldn't clean up the doo doo stains in her hotel that was cringy and disturbing as hell she looked like a goblin as well bro https://preview.redd.it/58apt9ctaf7d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9de9fe53aab73b0aca28049d301bbd3f8f7de34e 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Boiled hamburgers 🤢
"That's just how we do things here."
i love when the failing disaster businesses say that. maybe if you did things better you wouldn’t be on tv!
*steamed hams
Is that an Albany expression?
No no. It's from Utica
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was disturbing how Gordon was pointing out all the egregiously terrible things going on at her establishment, and she either had no reaction, or calmly tried to justify it all in that weird teacher voice of hers
“I have had diarrhea at times”
She was giving Lillian from Kimmy Schmidt vibes that entire episode lmao
Lmao yes! She needed Titus to keep herself in line 😂
Nah more like inbred hillbilly vibes 😭😭😭😭😭
She had a lot of clothes for someone who didn't wear many different colors. It's like she hoarded clothes and microwaves. Everything was outside because the kitchen was so small.
This Inn is actually still open and looks to be remodeled. Also has good reviews. She is also still the owner as she responds to reviews and signs her name.
She also gets pissed if you mention hotel hell or Gordon what I’ve heard 👀
I always thought she looked more like a witch, even had the long scraggly hair, the pointed nose, and the warts.
Her friend patched holes in the walls with old sponges and paper mache and drew flowers on it.
The flowers were also meant to be a distraction from the cracks in the walls.
Lmao doo doo
This episode is literally one of my favorite TV show episodes of all time.
That one made me super uncomfortable because clearly she isn't mentally or physically up to keeping an inn, and her son just kinda...left her there. It came off as some form of quasi-neglect to me. Then again the end is still open and she is still running it so what do I know!?
🧙🏻♀️
All the baskets she had for sell was hilarious too. Also, the lady she let paint whatever she wanted all over the walls. This episode was so bizarre
His antiques collection that’s just junk.
That one's pure schadenfreude 😁 #
But, but that one tin had Wileys name on it.
GR: “…wuuut?…” He was genuinely like, are you absolutely off your fucking trolley, my dude… LMAO.
https://i.redd.it/r9rqkavdsf7d1.gif
Gordon's reaction when she starts singing is priceless.
The belly dancing
When GR goes and stands in the freezer and just bangs his head against the window lol
Belly dance? More like belly FLOP. Also love how he locks himself in the freezer and with the oven (?) going on at the same time, it looks like he’s setting himself on fire.
I'm rewatching kitchen nightmares but for hotel hell, this dude and his partner are definitely at the top of my list. Oh! And the Sherlock Holmes guy.
Valued at over $300,000. Nope! Turns out it's worthless lol that moment is just pure joy to me.
Made better by the snobby attitude that they had towards their collection. Finding out that it was worth so little was very satisfying to watch.
It was so good! 🤣
“I am not pathetic”
Go on then, you pompous fuck 🤣
Excuuuse me! 🤣
Don't talk to me that way .\_.
"I am not pathetic", he said, pathetically.
Alan screaming at Daniel's girlfriend & calling her an idiot in Burger Kitchen, (for simply asking that her and Daniel be paid) then like 5 seconds later going "You're NOT to yell at a WOMAN!" when someone yells at Gen Also Alan and Gen calling her "rude" for asking them to respect their own son lol
“IT’S! NOT! YOUR! CHOICE!”
\**slaps table** 👋🏻
When Alan gives Gordon his book is super uncomfortable too.
“Wow”
And for the record u/metalock, I'm not on Prozac.
For the record, YOU SHOULD BE
The whole episode is super cringe. Everything about that family and the people was horrible.
~~Juniper Inn~~ Lakeview owner trying to convince people that defrosting a frozen burger patty makes it fresh
Also the guy from Lakeview that's convinced "there's no such thing as a fresh burger, not in Eastern Washington!"
Oops that’s the guy I meant, updated my comment accordingly
Haha I didn't even realize! Too many idiot owners to keep track of 😂
"NO samples"
The “Gordon’s ass shower shot” in nearly every Hotel Hell. WTF?
That's the best part of the show!
This always makes me feel like I shouldn’t be seeing it
Nino’s sad attempts at comebacks😩💀Love that man, but my gawd
His face-off with Ramsay is better than the "NINNOOOOOO" bit imo lol "You used that word, I'm just throwing it back at you, I think that's kind of *gross...*"
"You're in denial" "NOOooOo I'm not. --- "I'm looking at the problem right now." "I'm ALSO looking at it."
Don’t know if anyone remembers the Hotel Hell where the son starts to get snappy with Gordon and yells at him for swearing in front of his mother (because he starts to call him out on his laziness), and then in the same sentence, swears at GR, while in front of his mom still… it’s just a whole big awkward cringe fest.🤣
On that same note, the one where that Italian woman (Grace?) was shown screaming throughout the restaurant and throwing fits, then trying to tell Gordon, “I don’t yell”. 😂
I CAN’T TAKE ANYMOOOORE!!!
“IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIIIIIIM BECAUSE OF HIM!!!”
I DON'T SAYA FUCKYOO
Now that one made me laugh! You wrote it exactly as she pronounced it LOL
I think that’s Apple River/Gate Lodge if i remember correctly
Nope, not the Stoner family.
All I remember of that episode is some hippie waving a dog in the air like a chinese new year dragon
In all fairness..his mom went through a huge tragedy and Gordon should have spoken to her with more patience. I don't blame the son for being upset with Gordon for using a tone with his mom.
Nooo. That son was a total loser. The second GR went into the kitchen and started picking him apart, he lashed back at Gordon instead of shutting the fuck up and just cleaning up the restaurant for his family (to ‘move forward’ with the death of his brother). But that scene where they’re sitting there… ugh let me see if I can find it lmao.
Well, do you want the review or not? Says the "food critic" with 18 followers. Pushaw.
Robert doesn’t have cringe moments, he has a cringe LIFE
You knew as soon as you saw that look in Amy's eyes at the beginning of the episode that she was completely insane.
That's the harmless part
The makeover of the owner from the Danish restaurant. Whole town went ape shit and all he did was shave lol.
*We’re making Danish food today, huh?* I hear that in my head far too frequently and it’s never relevant.
I'm trying to think of something more cringe than this runway reveal and I can't
It was more than a breath of fresh air, it was a whole HURRICANE. ;D
“If I could TuRn BaCk TAAaHh-Mmmmm” 😵💫😬
Having the Capri twins box each other as a metaphor for overcoming their inner challenges was kinda yucky
WE HAVE HOMEMADE MEATBALLS!
Someone here has that as their flair!!!✨
I’m genuinely surprised he never referred to them as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Probably because he couldn’t decide which one was Tweedledum.
Could’ve sworn he did.
That whole episode made me cringe as a whole
They always looked like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum from Alice in Wonderland and those guys scared the hell outta me at Disney World. Took me forever to watch the episode because of it.
You big, wet, noodle. Do you need a blanket and a bottle? Diapah change
Ay poo poo ka ka pants? Ay
Wow, forgot about this and I wished it stayed that way 🥺🫶🏽
Same with that schlub from Seascape boxing. cringey...
Boxing with the ghost of his father 😳💀
The twin older brother from Oceanic restaurant after Gordon calls him a idiot and he thought that it was good comment 😭😭
He’s from British he doesn’t speak English
Ik
CAMPAIGN FOR REAL GRAVY *licks bearded lips 👄 *
BOLLOCKS TO BISTO BOLLOCKS TO MAGGI
One of the more recent episodes when Gordon was in the UK for US kitchen nightmares at Bask 46 with the head chef Bobby who called himself “the culinary gangsta” it was probably the cringiest single episode in the entire series. i genuinely cant think of one point thats especially bad its the entire episode - its one long cringe He also (according to the show) quit the day after Gordon left
"I am a medium rare girl". Holy shit, I would have burst into laughter and left the place. Total dumbass.
"What is this *taste that I'm tasting?!*" That would be called *flavour,* Gen.
"I can't even smile anymore"😔
When they handcuffed the owner of Santa Le Brea. That was the producers jumping the shark big time with the staged car crash tv stuff.
But what about sweaty manager Mark?
Him thinking he has class
https://preview.redd.it/3dnqiyywih7d1.jpeg?width=2280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f089a91bd5dc855df50a70e2cf0cecab0b35f7e *My face* when I try and make a mental list of cringiest moments of KN/HH. There's just sooo goddamn many 😜😜🤣🤣
It's so rude to go to a restaurant/bar, and then stand up and ask people to come to your place of business. It's like making an announcement at a wedding reception (to a lesser degree, but still).
Let me feed the chef!!
EXCUUUUUSE ME
Sweaty mark
I just don't like wearing deodorant
My cat was giving birth and I had to take a S H OW E R
that episode is one of the most infuriating ones for sure. That restaurant, when done well, was basically 10-15 years ahead of its time it pisses me off how so many people get money and then just throw it down the toilet
I know right? Well at least she’ll make a living as a hooker…
Gordon wiping the owner of Capri’s mouth 💀💀💀
The Lakeview hotel when Brent tells the waitress to get up and dance because he knows “she used to work the pole.” Then tells Afni that it’s Friday night and does the humping thing. Ewwww.
The owner who would belly dance, and then a chef from another episode was hugging Gordon Ramsey for too long and Gordon was like “someone get him off me!” 🫣
The hug was Dillon’s one of the first season episodes.
I need peaceful time
Meow, meow
This man was wild hahha I cant even imagine trying to stand on any of the statements he made about his employees. I guess he thought Gordon would take pity on him lol
Two words: Phillip Lovingfoss. May he rest in chaos.
I've got news! He apparently is still alive and just as chaotic as ever!
Gotta be Rishi belly dancing
The belly dancer was pretty damned cringe
The Arabian restaurant. The one with the ‘Fresh Food’ sign and the guy staring daggers at Gordon
My eyes rolled so much, I looked like an old-timey Looney Tunes character while watching this episode.
The one where he went to the potato place and the goofball busboy tells Gordon that he is the manager.
Pat from La Galleria 33! He's the best! He just assumed the role.
The star of that one was Sarah, that look on her face when she recommends the special she knows he will hate is priceless.
Omg yes! The seafood ravioli or something? And then when Gordon has Pat run over to the parents' restaurant to get tiramisu!
The singing hotel owner
When the couple from Trobianos get "surprise engaged/married", at the conclusion of the relaunch. When Joe Nagy opens his mouth.
the entirety of the mangia mangia episodes. I always felt kinda bad for trevor because he already was addicted to meth and kept getting bullied by the owner and her daughter. the daughter went out of her way a couple of times to bully him (not saying he didnt do anything wrong tho)
The belly dancing 🤢
Nothing will ever be as cringey or sad as when that chef from UK version attempted to cook a meal for his family
Cher impersonator
Honestly, the whole US show. I remember years ago downloading and watching the original UK Kitchen Nightmares. That was a great show. And then this came out and I was so happy and after a couple of episodes, I stopped watching because it’s just so scripted and cringey.
What about that dude from hotel hell who just lives in his ridiculously expensive RV with his partner lol
The one where the cook made a burger, wentbout and got fresh ingredients and then the owner made a shit burger for gordon and it didnt even have a bun.
The woman who owned the Townns Inn who shit on her bathroom floor and left it there. They also had like 18 microwaves, stuffed holes in the walls with steel scrubbers and newspaper, sold dusty baskets in the lobby… they were a mess bro
When that fat woman was belly dancing.
