The one thing that always kills me about this show is that you can bet your life on having to repeatedly make scallops, risotto, and beef wellington. The fact that nobody took the time to make sure they could NAIL the temperatures and sears on that stuff before they go on the show blows me away. It's like going on Jeopardy and not knowing what potent potables are or how before and after works. Also, my wife and I applauded at the first promo ambulance sighting. This show is amazing.

It's hard to do a perfect sear on a scallop when a producer is running around under the set messing with the gas flow to the burners.

Even without that, you know they purposefully cast chefs who have more personality than skill, and Ramsay even admitted as such. Of the 20 on the show this season, there's probably between 5-10 they think could be a serious competitor, and less than five they view as being legitimately capable of doing the prize job well off the bat.

For all intents and purposes that contestant could fire scallops across the dining room from their rear end, and Ramsay would still have to find a reason to tell the person standing next to them at elimination to "hand me your jacket, big boy."

I wouldn't mind being the guy who calls everyone a bitch or makes dumb jokes during the "interview" scenes. I wonder how many times I could get that "click-clack" bad joke sound effect.

Had forgotten a new season was starting. Just watched the first episode of the season... About what I'd expect. In fact I basically the teams to still be this hosed up once they're in black jackets.

New episode in 45 minutes! Completely forgot to do a final count on last week's episode, I'm gonna try and do it later tonight so I can have both this episode and last week's tallied up. I'm gonna use spoilers since it wasn't shown in the actual previews, but tonight's challenge is a tricycle relay race, in which they must work in pairs to complete basic culinary tasks. The winners earn a trip to San Francisco, while the losers go carrot picking at a farm. never change, hell's kitchen

Who wants to bet the losing team starts tossing carrots at the person they blame for losing them the challenge?

Nobody's really shown enough personality yet to deserve support, but that's not going to stop me from rooting for Jason, Old Guy, and Melanie.

No passion, no fight-back, no leadership. Out of Beth, Simone, DeMarco, and Gabriel, Ramsay kicks out... Nicole.  And she went out like a bitch.
