I saw Gordon Ramsay at the Good Food and Wine Show in Melbourne and the media has made a meal out of absolutely nothing. The crowd laughed at all his jokes! His comedy routine lasted not more than 5 minute’s, which was then followed by 55 minutes of cooking. Gordon never called her a lesbian!! ACA did make a meal out of nothing. All who saw Gordon’s show would not have even remembered those comments about Mrs Piggy when they left! The amount of rubbish I have read and also watched from news bulletins to the all-faithful ACA just confirms that from now on Tracy Grimshaw does look a little like an omnivore with undertone tendencies for gluttony!!! Oink! Oink!

It’s only Tracy Grimshaw, who doesn’t make a pun at her expense? We’ve just banded together because a Pom said it, no wait, because a comedian didn’t say it.. Who didn’t laugh at the Wil Anderson twitter just at the end? I like Ramsay, I hope he come back and do it again. Tracy was way more out of line than him.

And lastly Gordon swears, most likely drinks a bit and has an accent….doesn’t that just make him an honourary Aussie right there?

Come on… eveyone’s acting as though Grimshaw is a credible, respected journalist. Do people actually realise that she works for A Current Affair… a program made for morons who can’t make up their own mind about the world that they need to be spoon fed mindless drivvel? I can’t take anything she says seriously – she know where she works. Whereas Ramsay has built his career on, and is well respected for being an offensive rude bully. I’m so BORED of this.

The Daily Telegraph has supposedly spoken to Mamma Ramsay and she says she had not spoken to Gordon about this incident and he claimed yesterday in a Nine exclusive interview he got a bollocking from her…

Only in a parallel universe could Tracey Grimshaw present herself as a victim over Gordon Ramsay’s comments. Grimshaw presides over a show dedicated to the bullying of others; chasing people down the street, disrupting them at work, and ultimately seeking to destroy reputations by unnerving those without media training.

The hypocrisy of the year must belong to Grimshaw, as immediately after referring to Ramsay as a “bully”, crossed to a story that tore strips off the harmless 19 y.o. Clare Werbeloff.

As crass as the Ramsay attack was, Grimshaw got exactly what she deserved.

Isn’t it great to see that feminists have adopted pragmatism so readily? There’s nothing like the promise of male chivalry to make a girl live up to her membership of the “weaker sex”. The creation of Tracey Grimshaw as a victim, and the subsequent Galahad-like rallying of her male colleagues to her defence was laughable if not so pathetic. One media bully in a verbal exchange with another, and the only difference being gender.

If in 2009 a woman is ” absolutely miserable” at references to her appearance, perhaps that suggests her integrity and intelligence are insufficient to sustain her. The vast majority of men would take such jibes with a grain of salt. As would a woman of substance.

with the Ramsey talk with Tracy

I think she is taking it all toooooo far….

It was a chatty conversation it is his personality and I think people here are going too far with this, and need to get a life….

Tracy should with all that she reports be a much clever person than she is behaving.

I am disappointed she is not as clever as i thought she was.

Good on you Tracy.
Gordon Ramsay is an obnoxious bully boy who enjoys swearing and putting others down.
He is a loathsome dog who has made numerous enemies in the UK.
He has been exposed as a liar regarding his sporting past and it is great that you have stood up to him.

I thought Rove was brilliantly professional, witty and sharp in the way he handled Ramsay, who does have an effective line in bullying git shtick.

I had to stop watching his live cooking demo and tend to agree with the Benny Hill comment above. Dressing up Gordon’s dour, kitchen Presbyterianism in that style of heavy-handed audience banter? Unwatchable.

I have not eaten twice at his restaurants because the first time was simply dull. Not great, not awful, just dull – a mediocre meal drowning in the only sauce Gordon seems to cook, veloute. It was the same Dubai place that disappointed the good Doktor.

Coming out fighting and attacking popular and liked TV personalities just means you look boorish and unpopular. As do the constant attacks on other cooks. It’s just repetitive and unpleasant to watch.

I think the problem that’s starting to surface is that Gordon is simply not a very nice person.

Whilst I don’t condone all of Gordon Ramseys comments, at least Ramsey has some sort of talent. What exactly has Tracey Grimshaw brought into our lives apart from a ‘crap bias tabloid commercial filled offensive to intelligent people’ program. I agree with Will Anderson. Thats not journalism. If she can dish it out she needs to take it. She’ll be loving what this is doing for her ratings.

Tracey Grimshaw you are a disgrace to Australian television as you have misused your role as a news reporter for a desperate grab of ratings and for your own smelly personal issues! I will never watch your joke of a show based on sensationalism trash journalism ever again!!! The ‘Today’ show has also proven that you can’t touch one of ours as they have all as well closed ranks behind Tracey’s fat behind in support! They all together need to bow their heads in shame together with the crew from the ABC, but at least they knew when to give up! This current trash television will be in our faces at least until midday tomorrow unfortunately. I know what you are thinking? Ok, I won’t watch Tracey’s attempt at an informative program … anymore or the Today show for that matter. Instead I will attempt to use my time more productively, like training for a triathlon or learning how to cook a four course meal for 2! Gordon has at least given something back to society. Well Tracey you still have time left to do the same! Go to the Gym and loose that buffalo rear and retire from television all together! And while you are there you can take the one they so call ‘Rove’ as well with you and together do something for this nation… P@%S OFF!!!!! We can clearly see what you are worth out of 10, NOTHING / ZERO, sorry, no Michelin Star for you!

I’m no fan of ACA or Grimshaw but she’s entitled to have her right of reply of Ramsay’s “attack” of a personal nature. If she abided by the “rules” set by his PR/publicity on the interview, then why attack her?

Controversy Creates Cash and he has both in spades.
