Hell's Kitchen - Season WhoCares - Page 2

I watch this show simply for Ramsay. And although the contestants have never been particularly legit like some of Top Chef, this season was atrociously awful.

But glad Russell didn't win. He was a real dick. I cannot believe bigots and supremacists like him get any sort of exposure on anything.

I just wish this show would pull on slightly more legit chefs, so I actually cared. I don't mind idiots like Raj just for the sake of humor and drama early on, but give me a handful of talent to root for.

This was such a shit season. I was on board with Russell since that retarded prom episode because I thought it was hilarious when he cussed out those stupid high school kids, but it wasn't even close last night.

Also, its too bad the parachute thing was a fake-me-out. That should have been how the finale ended: they both have to jump, the winner's parachute opens, the loser's does not. I really hated this season.

That blonde girl with the Z'Dar jaw annoyed the shit out of me. Everytime my wife was watching, and I'd stop and watch a little with her, it would amaze me that she would still be on there.

Yeah the past few season have been pretty crappy with this one being hands down the worst. I think it has in some part to do with them doing two seasons a year insted of just having one that goes all summer. It dilutes the "talent" pool

What's great is looking at the Wikipedia for this show. I think one winner has stayed at their prize job for more than 3 months.

And one of them even had to slink back to the show as one of the sous chef's.

Ramsay has said that the producers throw a few total fuck ups, just to screw with him (and to create better tv). Given, people tune in just for Ramsay, in recent years, I'd wager the producers have up the number from 3 or 4 to 6 or 7.

Well he got into that confrontation with the one fat guy, in the final episode. Not sure what happened but there was some heavy editing because at first they were almost throwing punches then suddenly James was behind Russel almost pulling him back. Pretty much said to myself he was done at that point.

I love the show, it's great.. don't care too much about the "reality" of it but more so the entire experience and the dishes that are made. The end credits showed Ramsey laughing and joking around with the cast and I honestly wish they'd make that show... that looked fun and entertaining.

Yeah I'm pretty sure out of each season's cast, there are maybe 4 or 5 "real" chefs vying for the job. You can usually tell who they are because they just do their job and not cause alot of drama. Me and my wife pretty much guessed the real contendors this season was Gillian, Nona, Russell (maybe) and Gail. Out of all of them, I think Gail was supposed to win this season but got sabotaged by fish.

I think Vinny was a "ringer" too. But he got undone by Russell.

Holy shit, what a bunch of idiots this season.  Just when you think they've reached a new low, they pull out Carrie and Elise.  The nega-Laverne and Shirley.

 

Oh, and then they lose the first guy before the first fucking service.  Fatty McPhatterson can't even prep without having a heart attack.  After two episodes, the men's team already has to be subsidized by members of the women's team.

2 episode summary:

- Fatty has a heart attack

- Slutty chick hooks up with mega-douche

- Koopa drops an entire prime rib on the floor

- Sassy black girl acts sassy

- No one can cook risotto successfully

 

 

 

 

Ha ha, I was calling her "King Koopa" too.  Right after mega-douche lied about the fish, I told my wife, "Oh, he's gone.  Ramsey won't put up with that shit."

Any of you guys been watching Masterchef?

I hear Masterchef USA is a pale version of its foreign counterparts but, hey, I need my cooking reality show fix. It aims at the soccer mommies who like inspirational stories of amateurs getting their due rather than the unabashed trash that is Hell's Kitchen.

I don't even care that I missed the premiere. Especially once I saw that nothing has changed from last season. Although I do believe this is the first time they've shown a hook up. There has been plenty of flirting but not two people closing the door behind them.

Best part of the episode?  The little kid that yelled "Shut it down!"

So 45 minutes of sassy black girl and slutty chick yelling at each other?  I've already forgotten everything else that happened.  If there actually was anything else that happened.

Best part of last night's show was basically every member of Elise's team wanting her gone, right after she said all of them wanted Carrie gone over her.

 

It's very hard to watch the show right now--not because of the content, but strictly because of Elise.  She is one of the most annoying people I've ever seen--borderline Tyra Banks territory for me.  I'm tempted to not watch anymore until she's gone.  I did that last season with the blonde girl with the huge jaw bone.

I think Elise is going to be sticking around for a while.  Unfortunately, shes fairly competent in the kitchen, especially compared to the majority of these other retards.  Plus this show loves its villains.

 

But yeah, I did love that bit at the end with every team member saying they want her gone.  I also enjoyed her running Carrie off the track during the go-cart race (ugh. this fucking show).  

Also, here's a point--if Jamie had not spoke up first and said she wanted Elise gone over Carrie, I wonder if the rest would have said Elise.  I feel like most of the rest of them are sort of lemmings that seem like, if at least one other person feels the way they do, they'll agree with them.  Although none of them chose Elise (save the one girl), you never see any of them standing up for Carrie when she and Elise argue.  I think Jamie dislikes both of them equally, but realizes that Elise is more of a threat than Carrie, and we all know when Carrie leaves, Elise will focus her ire on someone else.

My roommate and I watch the hell out of Masterchef.  It seems to be a more interesting cast of characters than Hell's Kitchen, and I tend to get bored of Hell's Kitchen essentially having the same challenges year in and year out.  Our favorite characters are the guy that looks like Sad Keanu, and the guy that sounds like Ezio (gone now sadly).  And it's fun rooting against people like Suzy, who is constantly making retarded incredulous faces every time she cooks something shitty.  Love that Sad Keanu seems to be pissing everyone off, yet still kicking ass.

I'm partial to the guy who looks like Starburns.

I love it when during a challenge, it all comes down to that final dish.   It's always special when that happens.

I'm not 100% sure why, but I totally adore Elise at this point.

This season jumped the shark when they feigned getting rid of Elise the third time.

Quote:

Is it my imagination or has Elise been up for elimination in every single episode this season?

 

So who are the "ringers" and who are the "driftwood" this year?   I think the overweight lady is definitely a ringer and Elise is "driftwood".   Any other guesses?

If by driftwood you mean I want to drown Elise in the ocean, then yes.  How the fuck her and that Tommy kid have made it this far baffles me.

"Driftwood" is the name the producers of the show name the contestants who are there more for entertainment purposes than skill.   That's why a joker always makes it into the final 4 but never the final 2.   Another thing that's funny is that the contestant that wins Hell's Kitchen NEVER gets the actual prize.   They usually end up being a Sous chef or a line cook for the restaurant they are supposedly going to be head chef of.

This show needs to end or change things up drastically.

 

You knew Elise wasn't gonna go home, that annoying blond chick from last year broke the show I think.

I've watched several clips packages of this show in recent months. It's just delightful and I'm bowled over by how how much I love Mr Ramsay (both here and in KITCHEN NIGHTMARES). His steadfastly pitiless attitude and refusal to show mercy to those undeserving of his respect makes for great TV. I'm sure he is just mugging for the camera half the time, but the dimwits and slobs over whom he holds dominion very much deserve it. Raw food? Poor hygiene? They've more than earned being shouted down in public for their horrible lack of professionalism. In this day and age when you pay to go out to eat, the restaurant has a sacred responsibility to make sure things are clean and the experience is as trouble free as possible. Judging by some of the practices revealed both here and on KITCHEN NIGHTMARE, the world is very much in need of a man like Ramsay. Back when I first saw bits of this show 10 years ago, I thought he was pointlessly cruel and the program epitomized 'trash TV'. Now I know better
