Even though I consider myself stridently anti-reality television, I can't help but find Gordon Ramsay hypnotioc.

He's like a real-life Greg House.

I think the reason that I find Ramsay more fun to watch is that while House is made to appear an arrogant genius, his genius is imaginary, a construct if you will. Situations are presented to him week to week that can be implausible and sometimes have little to do with real medical science.

But Ramsay is the genuine article. In his field he is the arrogant genius who's passion and creativity are just a pleasure to watch. He makes me realize I know as much about cooking as I do about medicine.
