I'm so glad this is back.

It looks like we have some real *characters* this season. I don't think Gordon will put up with the crying from everyone for too long. At one point it seemed like everyone was blatting. :unsure:

I just love this guy! I'm an avid watcher of his BBCA shows; The F Word (F stands for FOOD) and Kitchen Nightmares.

Bring on the drama! :thedolls:

All of a sudden the site let you write the correct title of the show...

I DVR'd it last night since I go to bed about 9pm, but I'm excited to watch, maybe tonight!

I LOVE Gordon Ramsey. F Word is my favorite show of his, I think because it really let's you see what a stand up guy he is. Hell's Kitchen gives the impression that he's a real jerk, but that's so not true. He just doesn't want you to mess with his reputation.

I couldn't believe what I saw last night. That poor waffle house girl, Ramsey is ALL about "every man" being able to make great food. All the other women were so against her, just because her experience was at a waffle house vs. a high end eatery. They wouldn't even let her make an egg! And what was with all the tears!?! Oh...my...god... There's no crying on the line!

I can't wait until next week, it's going to be an awesome season. I only wish that F Word wasn't running reruns.

We love "The F Word'! We have several on the DVR that we haven't watched yet. There was one episode in the first season where he had some celebrity do a secret taste test on wines..one of the wines was their own. They said it didn't taste very good, in no uncertain terms. Then Gordon told them it was their wine...how embarassing!

DH and I had been to London a couple of yrs ago and ate at a restaurant of one of his apprentices. It was nice but had that english food spin on dishes. The cheese course was the best though.

I agree 200%. It's so nice to see the *real* Gordon. His friends obviously adore him and he has a beautiful family. I had trouble dealing with the turkeys in the first season.

I knew watching him raise those pigs would be a problem. I couldn't watch most of the slaughter episode. My husband had to tell me when it was safe. Gordon really had a hard time. I felt horrible for him.

I wonder what creature will be in his yard next season??

Julia! Thank you, that's so much better than calling her "Waffle House Girl". LOL!!

I think that the right choices were made last night as far as who to put nominate, I also agree with who left. The past two seasons I've picked the winner from night 1, I'm not to sure this season. I like the red headed girl who was "the best of the worst", but I want to see more interactions on the guys team.

I can't get over the crying either. It does not make sense why they are bawling on the first night. Wait until they haven't had any sleep. I think the crying guy is so wound up, he'll have a melt down, pass out and go to the hospital next week (at least that's what the previews implied). I hope Julia moves to the front too. I found it interesting when they were making fun of her for making the eggs when they could not do it themselves. The secret to the early rounds are surviving as a team. The women did not seem to have that concept last night. My early money is on the red head "Best of the Worst" too.

What network carries the "F word"?

Yay for season 3 of F Word!! I was a little concerned when my DVR started taping the "new shows" and it was season 2. Lamb huh? Gordon had a rough time with the pigs, lambs are actually cute! Should be awesome!

I don't think Aaron is going to make it far, but even last night he kept saying "if my body holds out" which makes me think that he wasn't mentally prepared to go there in the first place.

This fall, FOX is scheduled to start airing a US based version of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay which I'm looking forward to.

This season on the F-word in the UK, he is raising lambs (and again he's kept up the tradition of naming them after celebrities he tends to despise)

It would be interesting to see if a future season of Hell's Kitchen would be like the original 1st season in the UK where Gordon had to train celebrities.

And in a bit of irony, I think the next season of Hell's Kitchen to air in the UK on ITV is set to feature one of Gordon Ramsay's former mentors (and perhaps even more tempermental)- Marco Pierre White.

Has anyone heard if the first to Hell's Kitchen winners have been successful with their new opportunities? I loved the 1st seasons winner that gave up the prize to do the apprenticeship with Gordon. I would love to know how things have gone and what has happened to him.

Has anyone heard if the first to Hell's Kitchen winners have been successful with their new opportunities? I loved the 1st seasons winner that gave up the prize to do the apprenticeship with Gordon. I would love to know how things have gone and what has happened to him.

Here's an excerpt from an interview with Gordon Ramsay about the 1st season winner:

Michael Wray was the extraordinary winner of Season One. He had the idea to come over and join me in the U.K. It wasn't really for his wife, so out of respect for his newlywed he chose to stay over there. He's now gone into a production of knives and kitchen utensils and just about to sign a new lease somewhere down in Malibu Beach. ... He wants to start producing things like Japanese knives and chopping balls and getting into the production side of cooking as well as having eight to 10 tables and having a very Japanese-Californian style restaurant. It sounds like a great idea and he'll put his winnings to use from "Hell's Kitchen.

His knife company is known as "Skull and Cleavers" and since Hell's Kitchen he's been working at Tatou in Los Angeles and is expected to help open a Las Vegas location.

The second season winner Heather was not awarded the position of an executive chef, but was named senior chef of Terra Rosa at the Red Rock Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

And I saw an article that says that another season two contestant- Rachel was found dead in her home on May 9th although the circumstances are still under investigation.

Based on the commercials, I've chosen not to watch this show. I know, you're all fans, but I just couldn't do it. I suppose it could be more than what the commercial shows, but watching the one dude scream and holler, and the others get upset and cry..... well, that's just not entertainment for me. It's just watching bad behavior and unnecessary drama. I suppose I'm in the minority, but that's just not entertaining for me.

Willowwind
06-05-2007, 08:32 PM
I'm so sorry to hear that the apprenticeship didn't work out for Michael. It would have been an amazing opportunity. It's good to hear that things are going well though. Thanks for that post!

Advnt05
06-06-2007, 12:28 PM
I read an article mentioning the death of Rachel Brown from season two. It's sad as she was one of the nicer characters on the show.

In reference to the earlier post about Ramsey yelling and contestants crying, that used to bother me too at first. Then after the first season, the method to the madness made sense. In the world of high profile and high stress dining, I think his method does a good job of driving in the importance of what they do and what it would be like having your own place. The crying is not normal for the show. The guy this past week cried for no reason. There was not even any yelling gowing on when he started crying. There is something else happening to that guy.

rnin02
06-09-2007, 05:02 PM
I've liked the past 2 seasons, but I'm not sure I like this season. What's with all the crying?? And it just felt like the camera men were going out of their way to find people make weird faces, it that makes sense. I didn't like everyone ganging up on Julia, and I really, really didn't like Joanna...I just felt she was full of attitude and 100% against any team work. I hope Monday night is better.

06-11-2007, 04:19 PM

I hope this season doesn't turn into the fake reality tv. I laughed at the short order cook complaining because if there's one thing she can cook, it's eggs.

EPISODE 2

Another episode to taste and I still can't believe what I'm seeing on the guys team! They *so* need to get it together, but way to go girls! I'm not sure what I think about the choices for elimination this week. I thought for SURE that Aaron would be going.

I really think that Aaron has an underlying medical condition effecting him. I was horrified when he "passed out" for a minute that they let him keep going on that night. It sure looked (at least on the edited TV view) like a petit mal seizure to me. Hell's Kitchen isn't Survivor, they have a climate controled enviorment and the ability to have enough to eat, his body just isn't functioning correctly.

I sure hope that the guys can pull it together next week.

Yeah, Aaron has to have something else going on with him...all these cramps he keeps talking about, being dizzy all the time, that's not normal. And I can't believe he wasn't picked to go last night...what did he contribute to last nights dinner? Absolutely nothing. Oh, well, good for the girls!

NotaGeek
06-12-2007, 01:15 PM
Aaron was kept around because people know he will weed himself out. This season is WEIRD for me ... too much crying. One of my best friends is a chef (a real Cordon Bleu chef) and working in a kitchen is stressful! BUT, he won't watch the show because he said he doesn't care how popular the Chef is, Ramsey would be killed by the kitchen staff for the stuff he says. He always says, "no one is that mean when there are dozens of knives laying around" ...

I missed most of the first one and tried to watch this one..but it seems meaner or something this time out. I think they cast for far too much drama for me. I'll maybe try again in a few more weeks.

06-12-2007, 04:41 PM
My ex is staying with me right now and he's got me watching this show. I never watched it before and have no background on it, but I couldn't believe they didn't put Aaron up for elimination!! I was yelling at the TV. He really doesn't seem to belong. And sick or not, oy vey... the crying. :shake: HAS to stop.

I can see me getting addicted to this show, too. That's all I need! :rolleyes: ;)

BTW what's with everyone smoking?? I guess it's the stress or something? I just can't believe how many of the contestants smoke. And I guess it's a sign of the times we live in that I find it so odd to see smoking on TV! :smokin:

I love love love this show. My DH & I watch it every week and think it's hilarious. I can't believe that contestants would subject themselves to the yelling and humiliation that they face on this show. I know in real life that Gordan is a nice guy but you'd never know it on the show (except for the challenge winners...he seems nice and normal with them).

I can't stand Aaron. He just seems like a big cry baby and he's obviously not even close to being healthy enough to handle the stress of this show. I'm guessing from the previews that somethign big must happen to him.

Can't wait to see what more is to come.

I agree with NotaGeek...This season is weird. You have the horrible first dinner service..then by what the 4 week they are doing well. The girls really brought their A game this week finished their serivce and the boy's service. Too many alpha-males trying to be the leader and they are not getting anything done. I was too also surprised that Aaron did not go. I thought that Gordon was going to override Rock's decsion and put Aaron on the chopping block. It should be interesting this next week.

Advnt05
06-19-2007, 07:26 AM
So who didn't know that Aaron had to go? His medical issues were starting to get dangerous.
Back to the others. Who pulls food out of the trash at a Ramsey restaurant? He would kill you if he saw that. And the rancid crab....ick. It's interesting to watch the transformation in the groups in previous seasons. This season is still in the mindset of trying to sneak inferior food by him.

mjaclyn
06-19-2007, 12:12 PM
Does anyone know what Aaron's medical issue was? Gordon Ramsey told everyone that he had serious issues so I was wondering if anyone knew the details.

Personally, I was SHOCKED that Aaron made it past week 1 with all the crying and not being involved in most of the cooking because he was resting.

I really feel bad for Julia. She was the best last night and still the others nominated her for elimination. At least Jen had the sense to nominate herself. I would NEVER eat ANYTHING from the garbage no matter how clean it was. YUCK!!

I agree! Food from the garbage? That was awful. And I feel bad for Julia...she's putting honest effort in and proving herself, and "they" just can't get past The Waffle House. It stinks.

Yea!!! I knew my girl Julia would shine when they announced that they would be serving breakfast!! Who better than a waffle house short order cook! And while she may not be the most food educated have you noticed that in their "off time" that she is always studying the notebook they gave them? Go Julia!!
Jen's "spaghetti garbage" was disgusting but I have to admire how she stepped up and admitted it.

NotaGeek
06-19-2007, 02:58 PM
It seems to me that Aaron has more emotional issues. But I am sure we will all hear about what's wrong with him sooner or later. It's a real shame that he took a spot of some viable candidate that could have really benefited from getting the chance to become the winner of Hell's Kitchen.

AND rancid crab? WHAT THE? Was that planted by someone in the crew? How on Earth would rancid crab end up being in the prep? This would imply that the contestants do all their own prep work and truly prepare their stations, besides just peeling potatoes and cutting onions. I need an expose of what they actually do behind the scenes besides smoke cigarettes on the patio.

That's too funny about the smoking..these people could do a lot in the time they are shown smoking...and it does seem like the screen for smokers with the high % vs the regular world doesn't it?

06-20-2007, 08:26 AM
You know I felt bad for Aaron he seems like a nice guy but just not for this show. At least got to the bottom of what was wrong with him. I mean look at when the Army/Navy people came in to sound the wake up call, he got out of bed and was saying he was cramping up. Julia is really trying to get this thing down she seems to be the one concentrating on what she has to do to win this competiton. She putting out good food and studying the menu and other foods. The other chefs are more concerned with other issues like smoking, and stabbing each other in the back. Right now she seems to be the odds on favorite to win this in my book.

btw The trash thing was awful..:sick:

I've liked Julia from the beginning. She has a level head and just wants the team to succeed. She may not know a lot about haute cuisine but she knows her way around the kitchen. She is WILLING to learn unlike the others who are just trying to impress Gordon with very little substance. They may know their foods but they can't get past their egos to try to learn anything new.

I was wondering if they did the breakfast show to test what Julia does best and see how she handles the responsibility. I think she far outshined any of the other girls at that challenge and it was due to her hard work that they got to go spend the day on the aircraft carrier, yet I don't think any of them even acknowledged the fact.

BronxTigger
07-09-2007, 10:08 PM
Why does it seem like they cook a lot of the same foods over and over (Wellington, risotto, etc) but yet they still can't get it together.

I agree...Julia is my favorite. She seems to have the most sense, and she doesn't get caught up in the drama.

Yes . . . Thank goodness Melissa is gone. I couldn't believe he gave her a second chance. She went downhill fast and hard. She was a strange one all right.

I have yet to be inspired by or rooting for any of the contestants. Although I continue to faithfully watch, it is kind of a yawn season as far as the people involved.

mjaclyn
07-16-2007, 02:47 PM
I am SO glad Melissa is gone...it's about time. I think Julia is slowly starting to emerge as my favorite. It seems like all the other chefs are so full of themselves!! Julia came from humble beginnings and is not afraid to admit it if she makes a mistake or doesn't know something. Can't wait to see tonight's episode! I think one of the guys is going home.

rnin02
07-16-2007, 03:59 PM
Julia's my favorite, but I truly don't see any one of them running a restaurant. Maybe Jen, maybe. But I do like Julia the best!

Advnt05
07-17-2007, 08:57 AM
So last night was interesting. I agree that Julia has good character. She works hard and does her best without getting into the game playing. I still don't see her though as the head chef at a top restaurant. Maybe with more training she would be ready for that. Hopefully, Ramsey will offer her a chance for some more training.
I was surprised that he voted off the person that he did last night verses the other option that he had. Now each team has a cat with nine lives on it. It's going to come down to Rock and Jen to me. I can't see Jen winning it. Rock seems to be most consistent but his temper would be a red flag for me which is funny to say considering Ramsey.

rnin02
07-17-2007, 11:34 AM
Rock's temper seems different than Chef Ramsey's, I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about him that just doesn't seem quite right. I think Bonnie should have been the one to leave last night, or Josh. I don't see what Josh brings to the kitchen, except ego...he's never made a dish that pleased Chef Ramsey, has he?

IamBelle
07-17-2007, 11:44 AM
I have no idea who I want to win. I like everyone at some point, but now I just dislike all of them. My favorite right now would probably be Julia, because everyone says that she is only a waffle house chef, but she keeps proving everyone wrong, because she was chosen last night as the best chef on the red team!!

NotaGeek
07-24-2007, 02:04 AM
WOW. I totally agreed with the turnout tonight! Josh was destined for that departure for the beginning. WEIRD. :wave:

I love Julia but she doesn't have the chops to be a head chef in a high cuisine kitchen -- and I thought it was amazing that Chef Ramsey is paying for her culinary school! She's great and she deserves it!

As for the final 3? Not so into it. I think they are all really self centered and if I have to hear about Bonnie and her "chef nanny duties" again ... ugh.

She has no more training than Julia, so she really has no chance. My pick for final 2 are Rock and Jen, but I am not invested in either one of them. :shake:

DessertDivaFL
07-25-2007, 03:27 PM
If you pick a favorite based on cooking ability it would be Rock. Bonnie is too sensitive to be in charge of a professional kitchen.

It is hard to forgive Jen for pulling food out of the trash. That stunt reminded me of that Seinfeld episode when George pulled the donut out of the trash and ate it with his girlfriend watching! :ack:

Mufasa
07-25-2007, 04:05 PM
Rock & Jen both already have noted professional experience in kitchens but it is surprising in general to see such poor performances from a lot of the people on hell's kitchen considering the backgrounds that they have.

Rock has served as the executive chef for B. Smith's at Union Station in Washington DC for a few years now and he graduated with honors from the culinary program at Johnson & Wales.

Jen before taking a position as the head pastry chef at the Inn at Turkey Hill had experience in the kitchen of both Morimoto restaurant and the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia.

Bonnie's better for ratings than Jen...that's why she's a finalist, plain and simple.

Also, this comes down to the returning Chefs for the final episode as well...I don't know if Aaron is coming back, but if he is, the team who gets him is at a major disadvantage.

Remember season 1? Michael narrowly beat Ralph, I think, because of one factor...Ralph had Dewberry, the worst of the bunch, on his team. And Aaron, in terms of this show, is the new Dewberry.

Momof2boys

I still don't think Bonnie could handle it in a kitchen without breaking down, but I did love it when she gave Gordon a tongue lashing. I'd still like to see Rock beat her.

Rock was so indecisive this week ! You would think he's had so long to think about this that it should've rolled right off his tongue (like Bonnie). I still don't think she has strong personality it takes to run a restaurant.

It was nice seeing Michael last night. He was by far our favorite contestant. I wish they wouldn't have let the judges know whose dish it was.

Does anyone know when the show is going to come back on? I checked my guide and for the next two weeks it looks like there is a sports program on during Hells' Kitchen time.:mickey:

Thanks! My guide says NFL Football from 7-10, but I did find that it was moved to midnight Eastern Time. Just had to look a bit harder!:mickey:

Can anyone tell me what happened at the end? I missed the last 20 minutes or so. Thanks so much!

Can anyone tell me what happened at the end? I missed the last 20 minutes or so. Thanks so much!Basically both teams completed their service. Gordon then went over the customer evaluations to determine his winner.

Needless to say it was Rock's door that opened. They had a celebration and that was that. Gordon said in the end he felt Rock was the strongest leader of the two.

I was happy with the outcome too. I didn't care for Bonnie. This will make a drastic impact on Rock and his family. :)

Thanks Carol..wasn't thrilled with this season but missing the ending was a little annyoing.

Hopefully they will make this a little more feasable by next season.

I think Bonnie pretty much killed her chances when she ran out of 2 items from her menu. This season was really disappointing and I hope if the show continues they can change the focus from Gordon's rants to really showing how good the chefs are supposed to be.

I am more excited for Gordon's new show Kithen Nightmares as it's one of my BBC America favorites!

I was pretty dissappointed in this season as well, I didn't think anyone was that great of a chef, at least not from the TV viewer's perspective. Bonnie should not have made it to the top 2, and I can't believe she ran out of 2 different things, and didn't know how much she started with? That's crazy. I hope next season is better, if there is a next season. The new show, Kitchen Nightmares, looks good.

I know it is TV and ratings are primary, but I hope next season (if there is one) they pick competitors for their talent and talent alone - not because they are "characters" that will add color to the episodes. Surely there were some applicants that were more deserving than any, from the first person out to the last person left, of this year's group.

Kitchen Nightmares is great! It blows me away that so many of the restaurant owners & chefs are so resistant to Gordon's suggestions and advice.
