Do yourself favor and grab one. This episode might have been nutty, but it's got nothing on past seasons. Also, two weeks in a row with an ambulance stock shot in the promo. This is shaping up to be an amazing season. (Did anyone even cut a finger last week?)

There is a cafe in my town that a mental health care building runs right next to it, where many special needs people can get employment and fair pay and dignity. They make delicious food and the kitchen is a well-oiled machine. Very popular. Yes, these contestants are worse.

I'm pretty sure that footage has been in use for years, they played it in the flashback thing about Jason leaving in whatever season he was in before, and I know it was the same footage used then.

Maybe they do poo poo like that to see who's paying attention in the kitchen (no one, apparently) and how they react (I'M A GOOD CHEF! IT'S SO-AND-SO's FAULT!).

I doubt if the crew needs to gently caress with the equipment to get a handful of fuckups during a dinner service. Honestly, these people are probably good chefs outside of Hells Kitchen. But you put them in an incredibly high stress situation, wake them up at every hour of the night, and have chef Ramsay yelling at them constantly, people are going to say gently caress it and make a mistake.

I think people just freak out and don't know what to do when something goes wrong. Like their chicken is undercooked, they can see it's undercooked, but the beef has gone to the pass and Ramsey is yelling for the chicken, where is it, why is it not here now?! So they panic and bring it up when they know drat well that it's not going to make it. Of course also some of them are idiots who never actually taste the food they're making and it tastes awful.

Wouldn't you just ask for a minute more of time before you serve someone pink chicken? Except if you're a plant and just to gently caress things up - because probably everyone who ever cooked chicken knows it shouldn't be pink.

Well yes, logically. But I honestly believe in the moment some of them believe that's not an option. That guy has gone up, you have to go up now too no matter what state your food is in.

I would think that would be preferable as you're just getting poo poo for needing to work on your time management skills and not giving people food that could make them very sick. Or at least turn them off scallops I guess.

You'll get poo poo for taking too long with the food, but like I said before, he would much prefer proper food that took longer than raw food given to him quickly. Too many chefs do the latter and it hurts them. You'll get chewed out either way, but "I took a little long on the chicken" sounds a lot better than "I'm sorry I served you raw chicken." And sometimes chefs just lose their heads entirely. Remember when Josh kept making more and more spaghetti without being told?

raditts posted:Where did you learn about this, is there an article about it or something? I'd heard about the messing with the stove thing somewhere, but never this one. This is a reply from awhile back, but I just watched the most recent episode and was avoiding spoilers. Okay, so I work with actors, although I am not one myself. Take this information with a grain of salt. There was a controversy not too long ago, in that details from one of the top competitors of some reality show's contract (can't remember if it was a singy or a cooky or whatever) leaked out, and in it was a guarantee that they wouldn't be eliminated before the top six or something. The topic came up while I was talking with some actors and they verified a few things. Now while I can't say for 100% certain Hell's Kitchen does these things, I wouldn't be surprised. They do use the "producer's rights" disclaimer in the credits, after all. So yes, the goofy fuckups in elimination shows ARE often actors, and in the case of a show like HK, they'd be actors who have some knowledge of cooking, but not enough to realistically make it past the first few rounds or be a threat to the contestants who ARE real chefs. They often audition actors using casting calls with fake titles. To audition, you apparently have to sign an NDA, but I guess I know a few people who broke theirs. In fact, apparently, at no point is an actor supposed to reveal that they ARE actors to the public, any other contestant, even the other actors, or they face potential lawsuits. This is usually why a guarantee is included into some of the more talented chefs or those with at least high ratings potential contracts. It keeps them from being bumped off over a silly mistake early on. It's also why people who are obviously not great in the kitchen but have that ability to keep causing huge drama somehow manage to avoid getting eliminated until closer to the end. In fact, after watching this week's episode, I would not be in the least surprised if the four up for elimination had guarantees, and Nicole didn't. Probably not; she really did suck. It's like what someone else pointed out. If it were just an hour each week of competent chefs preparing food competently, nobody would watch. For those of you who follow pro wrestling, it's easiest to just think of it as reality tv's version of kayfabe. Tasteful Bulge fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Mar 26, 2014 |

subroc posted:So for any actor taking up one of these offers, it would be the last gig they ever do? I should clarify this. I meant that during production and up to a certain amount of time after. These aren't actors from LA or NYC typically. We're talking places like Florida, Maryland and Jersey. You might one day see them in a commercial for the local sports bar, but not in the next Spielberg.

I think one thing that's important to realize is that Ramsay doesn't catch every mistake, even every obvious one. On the other hand, sometimes when he blows up over something its just because its time for a blow up, not because what the chef did was really that terrible. So I think if you're a contestant its easy to think of sending undercooked meat as a gamble. Sure, there's a good chance you'll get chewed out, but if you take extra time you'll also get chewed out, so the only chance you have of completely skating is just putting it up there and hoping you get lucky.

Probably not; she really did suck. I find it baffling because I don't understand how someone that deadpan and boring right out the gate made it past the audition/selection process in the first place. It's not like she showed glimmers of personality or real cooking ability at any point. It'd make more sense if Nicole was kept around for drama, but to have someone that lifeless eliminated right away and in that fashion is really bizarre to me.

I bet if you looked back at every season they try to put one person in there who's more introverted and just really has no business being on a reality show. I think they probably hope the bright lights and attention will freak them out, and potentially cause some kind of breakdown.

In relation to all the talk about mistakes / sending up under cooked food, I know we see about 30 minutes of service per week maybe? probably less. The service has to actually last 4-5 hours though right? Like a real restaurant service? Given you have 8-10 hours of service between the two teams, I imagine you get enough mistakes to make the show without having t resort to fiddling with the stoves.
