He's like Simon Cowel but without the charisma or the occasionally "Awwww he's actually a human being" moments. He has those in the U.K. Kitchen Nightmares (much more motivational than he is in the U.S. version) and on The F Word (sortof his "whatever I wanna do" show) if you ever catch it on BBC America or online. In the U.K. Kitchen Nightmares it shows him teaching how to properly cook the dishes and being a pretty good teacher and motivator to the cooks/owners/staff. The American one it's played up for the drama, and it's assumed off-camera he teaches the chefs the new menu. Every once in awhile he has them on MasterChef, but not as much. He actually plays middle ground on there. I think the bald guy is even meaner than Gordon, and then the third guy on there is usually the nice one, usually playing the "C'mon, you can do better than this" angle if he gets a dish he doesn't like. He does play it up, no doubt. But he does love what he does, and is pretty damn good. But I do think the gimmick is played out. He has enough of a rep that he doesn't need to milk it like that...but, it's what got him to the dance.

It's funny to watch his American shows and his British shows together, because you'd think they weren't even the same person. The American shows are definitely more drama and screaming based, but in his UK shows he's nicer and a lot more helpful, and when he's angry, he's more annoyed and less cartoonish. You can definitely tell how much they think of the American audience by how differently the shows look.

His shows are supremely popular in both markets - so it's not what they think of American audiences so much as what they know will work with the American market.
