I totally LOVE Gordan Ramsay. He's never cruel for cruel's sake and he's really a softy when it comes to life in general. I can handle the tension and anger in his shows because it's part of a genuine conflict of the show -- taking a bad situation and making it better. I will have to look into "Queen of Shops" it sounds good.
The reality shows that I'm thinking about are things like "The Real Housewives of _____", "Jersey Shore," "The Hills" or any of the shows whose only purpose is to follow unlikeable and mean people around and watch them do unlikeable and mean things to other people. Or shows like "Bridzillas" and the like where you are shown all this bad behavior and where bad behavior is, in fact, encouraged and rewarded.
In the shows you mention bad behavior isn't rewarded. In fact, in Kitchen Nightmare, bad behavior will ruin you.
