After establishing himself by being loud and raging, Ramsey does not have to act like that all the time anymore. He has seriously toned it down and there seems to be a certain ratings draw to have him be uncharacteristically nice. Therefor Joe's job is to be the mean one now. You are right, they used the wrong word. He is not the toughest judge, unless you mean toughest to please. He is just the meanest judge.

This is going to sound insanely strange but...are they told how to lift the boxes up? For example they have wine underneath the boxes if they don't lift the box all the way up iy would easily knock the glass over and break. So I guess I'm wondering if, because it's a "mystery box", if they're told before hand to always take the top off a specific way just incase there is something like a bottle of wine that can easily be broken if knocked over. Random pondering over.

@corruptangel6793 Жыл бұрын

Possible. I always figured that since they don't know what's underneath, common sense would dictate being careful and lifting straight up until all items are revealed.

@pinterboglarka8752 Жыл бұрын

on the US version, Ramsay always tells them if they have to lift the boxes carefully. maybe they do that here too, just off camera

@corruptangel6793 Жыл бұрын

I like how he questions everything they do. It's a good way to test their confidence and make sure they're really thinking through everything they're doing. I feel like creative people need to know when to stick with their vision and when to heed advice and adapt. I've found with my own works that inducing doubt can be very helpful. Stressful as all hell, but helpful nonetheless. At least that's what I like to think he's doing 😆 It's hard to tell if he's a stern man who means well and just comes across as harsh, or if he's just a genuine narcissist.
