is it just me or is anybody else having problems with this seasons chefs. last season the chefs had charisma and a lot of skill and were likable even the cocky Stefan was interesting to watch. im just not getting into the show as much as i did the last few seasons. it just seems there is a tad of hells kitchen thrown in.

Pretti was a good choice to get the boot just from the name alone. ;)

there's no one on this season who approaches Carla-levels of awesomeness, but I don't think they're super uncharismatic or anything.

I take back my previous statement, I do like Ron's and Hectors personalities and they do have chef skills.

Eh, you just have to give it time to get to know everyone. Too new yet to write them all off.

I'm rooting for the 2 brothers and the 2 self proclaimed "fat kids"

Rookie mistake by Hector not cooking the meat properly. It looks like he didn't have the oven hot enough either. There was not a decent crust on the chateaubriand and there should have been.

Ashley should be gone next week unless she makes a vast improvement or someone else screws up badly.

Eh this season is alright so bad. I honestly think its the characters and the girls that look exactly like men. I dont enjoy questioning if the people are a guy/girl every time before they talk

It's just a matter of time for Ashley, Ron and Robin, all of them are just barely skating by and are near the back of the pack almost every challenge. They're likely the next three out.

Mattin may be in that mix too. For all the smack he talks he rarely ever meets expectations. Mike and Ash need to step it up too.

The Voltaggio brothers, Jennifer, and Kevin should be the final four. From there is will get very tough because they are all so talented.

Agreed, they are all very good and all are threats to win every challenge. I'm hoping that they avoid the disaster week that could wreck their chances because they deserve to be the ones fighting it out at the end. Pick any three of them for the finals and it would be a great shoot-out.

He's my favorite so far, but I do think the two brothers and jennifer have the most skill in the kitchen.

Ron has to have a substandard IQ. Just listening to this guy and watching him talk...

Why can't Hell's Kitchen have good chefs like this on their shows? I don't understand. The first person kicked out of Top Chef would win Hell's Kitchen going away. They can still have Ramsey yelling at everyone to get ratings...just get some good cooks worth a shit...
