Ok let me say the concept of this show is appealing as we all want the underdog to succeed. The formula of the show is a carbon copy of gordon ramsey's kitchen nightmares but obviously tapping into a market that might find ramsey too aggressive or abrasive!! But I would have to say Irvine gives ramsey a run for his money. If anything Irvine has an uglier ego and comes across as a drill sergeant who shouts at the top his voice to intimidate and control others. Even his entourage who help with the makeovers cop unessersary abuse despite having to do the practical work in one day!
His approach needs to be taken down a notch.
He might be a big brawny muscle dude but unfortunately he comes from the 'prawn' variety.
What can make him most unappealing is his constant hypocritic judgments of others, calling them arrogant, rude or egotistical. Does he not watch the show and see his behaviour is just that! I get it he is helping others but he callously makes them feel they deserve the treatment because they called for his help. Doesn't help that he takes all the credit for the end results from others, such as the designers and fitters who slave away to create a new resturaunt. Pretty sure he takes no responsibility for majority of the restaurants that fail.
At the end of the day, he majoritily of the time has not achieved success and what he has set out to do, since many restaurants have failed within a year.
Clearly his success is inflating his own ego every episode and not being fired for the failed resturaunts.
score 2/10
