Not just that, the entire way that the UK vs USA versions of Nightmares is edited is breathtakingly different. The first time I saw the UK show it was some small pub and restaurant in a town, old stone building, I think in/on/alongside a stonework bridge on a little river. Tiny, micro kitchen, younger kitchen staff wildly in over their heads. They had no fuck ups, they just were in over their heads and barely qualified. Gordon set them up for success and education. Everyone from the owner on down was open to learning and success and was beyond gracious to have him there. It was a loving experience as shown.
Compare that to how the US edition is often edited.
OWNER: "YOU BEEPING LIMEY HACK WHAT THE BEEP DO YOU KNOW MY FAMILY KNOWS FOOD YOU BEEP BEEP DAMN BEEP DAMN IT BEEP!!! I BET YOUR RESTAURANT SUCKS YOU BEEP!"
GORDON: "Oh that's amazing, I have one thousand four hundred and seventy four Michilin stars, ten thousand employees, and I've designed and opened nine hundred successful restaurants, what has your family done?"
OWNER: "BEEP YOU, YOU BEEP"
DRAMATIC STARING CUT TO COMMERCIAL

It's legit. Not all active or anything like that, but I'd bet at least a quarter million at any time. Your AMA will land on the front page. A front page that for sure a half million to a million people will see. Then this gets linked on twitter, facebook, blogs, news articles...
You got a big audience today man!
EDIT: and there you go, front and #1 of ALL of Reddit's millions of users and thousands (?) of communities:
