Copying isn't a rip off. Renovations shows, cops shows, medical shows, how to shows are variations on the same idea. No crime or anything under-handed is happening when someone else does their take on a type of show.
And yes, if it were an actual rip off, it could be sued. If it isn't, it's because it's not a rip off. Irvine isn't passing off the idea as if he invented it. He's just doing a show.
I get that some people see Ramsay as some kind of TV genius or culinary god, but he didn't invent renovation shows. I see the difference e in Ramsay', Irvine, and Taffer's shows an I enjoy all of them witho0ut needing to hate one or the other.
If you all need to think Irvine ripped off Ramsay, have fun with that, but know that if Ramsay felt that way, he'd have Sued Irvine's ass for it. If it bothers you all so much, just watch the original. Oh, wait. It's not on anymore.
