He is opposed to the use of animal fur in fashion design, and he even narrated an animal rights video for PETA in 2008.

In "Hell's Kitchen", Gordon Ramsay decides which contestant is eliminated each round until there is a winner who wins a job as head chef at an upscale restaurant. The show was actually created in the UK, which began airing on ITV in 2004. Ramsay only appeared in the first season of "Hell's Kitchen" in the UK, but began the U.S. version in 2005. Ramsay has also taken part in the U.S. version of the show "MasterChef" as co-producer and co-host.
6. Which TV show, based off the UK show with the same name, has Stacy London and Clinton Kelly giving women a makeover and teaching them how to pick clothes that fit their body type and style?

Answer: What Not to Wear

The U.S. version of "What Not to Wear" began airing on TLC in 2003. During the first season, Stacy's co-host was Wayne Scot Lukas, but he was replaced by Clinton Kelly in season two. Though some men have appeared on the show in the past, the makeovers weren't spectacular, so the show decided to stick with all women.

The women appearing for the makeover are usually nominated by a friend or family member because of their poor fashion choices. If they agree to be on the show, they are taken to New York and given $5,000 for a new wardrobe, in addition to having their hair and makeup styled to complete the makeover.

The show followed Goldman's business and featured some of his custom cakes, such as cakes made to look like the Hubble Space Telescope, Hogwarts Castle, and Radio City Music Hall. The show was also broadcast in Mexico, New Zealand, the UK, Latin America, and Australia.

Duff Goldman began Charm City Cakes at his house in 2000, and is known for his unusual cooking utensils, such as blow torches. He and his brother wrote a book about the show and the bakery entitled "Ace of Cakes: Inside the World of Charm City Cakes".
8. Which TLC makeover show introduced participants and had them stand in a glass box at the beginning of the show for passersby to guess their age before they got their makeover and again after the makeover is complete?

Answer: 10 Years Younger

The goal of the show was to make the participants look at least ten years younger, especially since they looked older than their actual age. After having 100 people guess the participant's age at the beginning of the show, the crew would then try and make the participant look ten years younger than the average age guessed by the crowd.

The participant was given a dental, cosmetic, and dermatological makeover, which included procedures like teeth whitening or veneers, Botox, facial peels, and new hair styles and makeup.

After the makeover, they would put the participant back in the clear box to see if they had reached their goal.
9. What was the name of the Canadian reality show, featuring a restaurant that employed ex-convicts, that filmed its first season in Toronto and its second in Vancouver?

The Canadian show only ran for two seasons on Citytv in 2009 and 2010, but it did inspire an Australian version of the show starring chef Ian Curley.
10. Which New York City bridal shop is featured in TLC's show "Say Yes to the Dress"?

Answer: Kleinfeld Bridal

Kleinfeld Bridal is owned by Mara Urshel, Ronald Rothstein, and Wayne Rogers. The show looks at women's search for the perfect wedding dress.

The shop's Fashion Director is Randy Fenoli, who will step in and offer his advice to help consultants and customers when needed.

The show began in 2007, and has inspired spin-offs like "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta", "Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids", and "Randy to the Rescue".
