So as a lot of you know, I like Gordon Ramsay. Some people even say I love him. But it's a lot more than what I put in my guestbook. BTW here's what I put in my guestbook about him: "People ask me all the time why I love Gordon Ramsay as much as I do, and I answer "because he is an excellent leader and motivator, even though you might take an ass-whooping for it. What Gordon does is take a person, break them down and build them back up. Plus he's really damn passionate about what he does." Now that may sound good and all, but here's another reason as to why I like him so much. I was bullied throughout my entire elementary school years, and it still hurts to remark at those memories that hurt me so much. In middle school, however, everything changed. I got friends that really liked me. But that couldn't take away the pain I felt in elementary school, so I was flipping through the channels one day, and I saw Hell's Kitchen for the first time in 2008 (season 4 was airing at that time). I was hooked on the show, specifically the host, chef, and Executive Producer of the show, Gordon Ramsay. I researched more about him, and when I saw that he and his mother were abused by his father, I knew that I could sorta relate to someone in how I was bullied (basically abused) at elementary school. I've watched interviews about how he was abused by his father, and I cried as to how he was tortured back then (he was tortured a lot more than me, but you get my point). My fandom grew and grew for him. As my fandom grew, however, there were some challenges. Gordon has that image of being a "d***", so it's kinda hard to be a fan of him. I was looking up Hell's Kitchen stuff one day, and someone out loud, mind you, said "why do you like someone who's a complete a******". I was crushed. I knew a hell of a lot more about Gordon than he did. People then picked on me left and right about how much I loved Gordon Ramsay. Gordon for me represents how much I've faced not only in elementary school, but as a fan of someone who has "mild-mannered critics/ignoramuses" to say the least. Anyway, that didn't deter me from liking him, and as soon as I found out that he was on Twitter, I was elated. I followed him instantly, and when I saw this:

I knew that the bullying I felt & experienced was worth it. Thank you guys for accepting me for who I am , and thank you for reading was seems like a wall of text

Wspyro, kind of. Fox makes Gordon appear a lot meaner than he actually is, but I've seen enough of his UK shows to see how he really is.

^ Well yeah, don't get me wrong I LOVE Gordon's Fox shows, but I can understand that they can give off a negative perception.

^ Thank you
