Overall, I liked last season better. While I like Ramsay as a host, I prefer his other show, Kitchen Nightmares, where he goes to various restaurants, and shows them ways to improve business: advertising, changing menus, cleaning things properly, etc.
If you have a good cable TV package and get BBC America, I definitely recommend checking out the British version titled "
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares".
It's less sensationalized than the American version and much better in my opinion.
