Hell's kitchen already upon us?

I actually like this seasons cast.. Raj is one nut bag and well, I will watch for Sabrina alone.

Yeah, seriously there was like all of a month's break....and they're STILL two hours long? I'd assumed they were trying to kill the show, but apparently the goal is just to achieve 24 hours of Gordon Rasmsey programming in the near future.

I thought the same thing with the 2 hour episodes.

It showing up on the DVR again gave me the excuse to finally remove it from my scheduled recordings.

Deleted it from the queue. It's over between us. We even deleted the remaining eps of his other cooking show too, after watching the first 2 shows (and enduring every cliched AI-turned-cooking-show audition ploy).

That show was horrible. The promos even went so far as to declare it "Like American Idol....but with food!!!". That's a good thing?

Speaking of Ramsay, I'm pretty sure I remember who this guy is - we watched the first season or two of this before losing interest in the disgustingly awful way they changed the BBC version to make sure it was Springerized enough for America.

Kitchen Nightmares chef/owner found dead

Campania owner Joseph Cerniglia, who appeared on an early episode of Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares, was found dead on Friday. His body “was found floating in the Hudson River, authorities said Sunday,” and “[t]he cause of death is under investigation, but ‘no criminality’ is suspected,” according to The Record.

Cerniglia appeared on the show in its first season, in an episode that featured lots of fake editing. But unlike some featured restaurants, his restaurant improved as a result of Ramsay’s attention and yelling.

In 2007, The Record profiled the restaurant as it awaited the episode’s broadcast, and Cerniglia said the show helped his business but “I think the show dumbed me down a little bit. It sort of gives me chills on my spine when I think about it, the way it was edited. That’s what I gave, to get the exposure.”

I hadn't realized it was starting up again until my DVR recorded it. That blonde girl is CRAZY. And, FINALLY, one of them learns to make risotto before coming on the show...

Yes, she was looking pretty good. Christina, on the other hand, looks like she got quite a bit wider. Not even rounder. Just wider. That was a little disturbing.

ROCK WAS HOT AS HELL

This somehow remains the sleaziest show on TV.

"I think someone's putting on her bra, quick get a shot of that! Is someone coming out of the bathroom?!?"

In retrospect, this show never recovered from the one-two punch of Matt in Season 4 and Lacey in Season 5. They were the perfect characters on this show. After that, the show lost something and they kept trying to make it more extreme, but it just got stale.

Matt should have had his own show. I LOVED that guy.

In past seasons, it always seemed like there were 8-10 donkeys, 3 people that were good workers, but not management types and then 3 quality ones. This season, seems like they are all one big pile of shit. Maybe that will be the catch at the end, no one wins.

I hate everybody this season.

Watching last night's episode now...seems like a waste of time.

Pretty much everybody sucks this season. That one dude (Russel?) seems like the only serviceable excuse for a kitchen worker of any stripe, I have no idea who he is going to cook against in the final.

As an aside, I am continually amazed as the quality of this show continues to slide in concert with Ramsay's reputation and finances, that he is still able to pull very reputable and respected chefs to come prance around in front of these doofuses with him.

Yet another reason this show has fallen out of favor with me. I don't know anything about this chick, but my guess is this is no coincidence:


Hell’s Kitchen winner Holli gets cash prize after visa to work in London denied

November 22, 2010, 5:59 PM



Hell’s Kitchen 7 winner Holli Ugalde has received a cash prize instead of a job at Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill in London after the production company failed to get her a work visa. She joins the list of the show’s winners who did not receive their announce prizes.

Instead of working with Andy Cook at the new restaurant, Holly got cash. An ITV Studios America rep told the Daily Mail that “due to legal reasons Holli Ugalde will not be able to take up the chef position at the Savoy Grill. … Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to obtain a work visa for Holli. In accordance with the terms of her contract with ITV, Holli has been paid the cash prize instead.”

A Gordon Ramsay spokesperson said, “We were sorry to find out that Holli Ugalde can’t join the team. Holli is a great chef and it’s terrific that she’s doing so well in the US.”

So glad that the twat lost.

I'm still a bit shocked that Nona made it to the end after that episode where she precooked all the steaks. I thought it was hilarious when Russ was getting trashed in the diary room comments. Also funny were the final comments by Russ blaming his loss on his staff. What an ass.

I think Russell may have failed to realize the entire show is kind of an audition and interview for potential employers.
