I almost can't bring myself to watch this any more. It's not that they suck as chefs. It's even worse than that. These people are just f'n idiots. It is like they took the rejects from a Ricki Lake casting and asked them if they've successfully cooked mac & cheese once before. If they said yes they got the job. If they said "tried but failed" they got put on standby.
I'm used to Top Chef though. Lost the ability to watch that when we switched cable providers and no longer get Bravo. Those contestants were actually able to claim the title of "chef". The bozos on HK wouldn't even be able to run line at your local fast food joint.
Seriously....I think even a team of mentally retarded monkeys taking hits of salvia in the back room would be capable of getting at least one freaking entre out. A team of 8 "chefs" couldn't even manage to do that.

i agree too about the cast, but you know what, i love watching it lol. i watch it for the over the top stuff that goes on and all of the awkward moments that they catch people in on the show. and ramsey is just a badass.
i mean lets face it. top chef is a cooking show, hells kitchen isnt, at all really. the majority of the challenges don't even involve cooking, and all of the dinners are basically them cooking the same crap every time.
but wtf ... how the hell could someone like Lovely be chosen to be on HK? I mean come on, that bitch doesn't have a clue wtf she is doing.
that said, I can't wait till next week!
No, they usually do, on a one year contract.
The HK winners usually are real, actual chefs. It's the clowns that they throw in for viewership that detract from the show's integrity. But that detraction from the show's integrity is probably what gets me hooked, I like this show.
Rock, the winner 1 or 2 seasons ago, was a chef here in DC, did his year based on the prize, and is now back here. He was at Ben's Next Door until he got a better opportunity. The guy can cook, I've been to his restaurants. I think the prize restaurant has discretion to knock the winner down from executive chef to something else, but they still employ the person for a year (I think).
Meanwhile, that d-bag Spike from Top Chef opened a burger joint in DC. It's not nearly the best in town. It does attract people who want to take a picture with him and one of his stupid hats though.
HK just has a different format to attract different viewers, but I think there is some method to the madness. They do cook the same stuff every night, but they are dishes that aren't always the easiest to produce consistently. That's probably why there's always a risotto or a wellington on the menu. Plus, I'm willing to bet that most of these folks can cook at a reduced pace, but once they have to coordinate and speed it up like they're made to do, it gets a lot more difficult.
Hell's Kitchen is a competition of consistency and execution. Its winner is most likely a very good cook. Top Chef is a competition of consistency, execution, AND creativity. Its winner is most likely a very good chef. Different competitions all together, but I like them both.
I just sit here wondering if these people really are that good of actors...or that bad of examples of the human race. I simply can not comprehend how someone can sit there in front of a camera stone faced and say they didn't stink up the place.
Oh...and if Kevin doesn't make it to the end then something is horribly wrong. He's the only person in there there that has half a clue WTF he's doing and is actually helpful to others on his team.

I like Ramsay as a person, but I think that's a completely valid criticism.
The fact that he's not a complete douchebag in the kitchen on any show other than Hell's Kitchen actually makes it worse - it's obvious he's acting. Well, it's obvious that the entire thing is put upon, since I bet that if I had to put up with that kind of idiocy I'd be pretty foul mouthed as well. 😛
I watch Kitchen Nightmares on occasion and it's fun because while he's not being a complete ass, he will speak frankly about problems in the kitchen and in the dining area.
I suspect the footage of the three hour dinner service is cut to heavily favour making people look as bad as possible using the one or two dishes they screw up. In that situation I too wouldn't feel that I did that badly... overall.

Curry is one of his favourite dishes, so no, he does not hate spicy food, he hates crap food.

they have to do that or americans wouldnt watch,
the other thing i hate is how some american shows constantly have to recap. Are some people over there that stupid that shows need to have stupid dramatic music to keep your attention and need to constantly recap, cause your too stupid to remember whats going on?
