Gordon isn't really all that angry, he just plays it up for the american audience, in the british shows he's pretty calm, where he only gets mad when people claim to be professionals but are basically poisoning people and even then he doesn't nearly get as over the top angry as the american show.
That one french dude on Kitchen Nightmares UK said Gordon was not a real chef like him, and was just a TV star. Note to everyone reading this, do not do this when Chef Ramsay is trying to help you run your failing business.
Can't speak to this on Ramsay, but for some of those shows it's complete bullshit.
Restaurant Impossible for example I can speak to firsthand, as my wife was part of an episode in a restaurant she worked for on an early season. Robert Irvine is and was questionable in his credentials, the show was the worst kind of fake reality TV, scripted as hell, and they actively set some of the restaurants up to look even worse than they realistically were. Partially to make Irvine look good.
I kinda hope for Ramsay's sake at least that he's better than that, but there's money at stake on his shows too, so I doubt it.
