I love they forced in that awkwardly awful segment about DeMarco's abandonment issues before promptly cutting him. Good use of that angle editors.

I'm sure they have done that at least once, probably twice before also because it was pointed out to me. I'm thinking it's going to become a thing this season, like with Gordon in the old kitchen nightmares. Edit: this season with Melanie, not just before in the show.

Like, sure reality TV producers prod people in directions that cause maximum drama, but Amy is the craziest bitch I've ever seen anywhere and I don't know how you can clap for them when they're stealing tips and threatening customers and acting like Samy is a real gangster (I mean he is but dude is old as poo poo and is in a country where he has no hired muscle to protect him).

livingfruitvirus posted:Not much discussion this HK season I notice. Not a ton to talk about really. Show is getting really stale. I'd like to see them start selecting casts based off actual talent instead of picking 3 or 4 good cooks and the rest being glorified fast food cooks who were selected because of their inability to work well with others. I've seen every episode this season and I honestly cant really remember the names of any of the contestants. Everyone has morphed into a big ball of poo poo in my head.

Really the most interesting part of HK is the new challenges they come up with, like that little bike relay in the parking lot. Beyond that, it's the same old, same old. And the first half of the show, especially with 20 people, is fat cutting. I think back to season 3 when all the chefs were sort of characters and you could relate to each other them in a way. Like when the nanny, short order cook, and pastry chef beat the team of trained and executive chefs. Now it seems like they really push not for characters or underdogs, but who seems most likely to just start yelling in the dorm. I still like the show and all, but I found myself totally detached from tonight's episode, barely even paying attention. Even the wedding wasn't treated like a big deal, it could have easily been a brunch for firefighters or anything else again. Heck, we don't even know what the prize is this season other than "a position at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant." It all just feels too unimportant. By the way, I'm not very interested in Amy's Baking Company anymore either. Unless Ramsay himself physically goes back to confront them, it'll just be a big montage of stuff we've probably already seen and nothing will change.

It's the internet that has latched onto Amy's nuttery, and with good reason because it's endless entertainment. However, a lot of people watched the episode, found it hysterical, and that was it. They don't know all the sordid details and speculation behind their story, so the audience is hardly as jaded as you or me. It's easy to see how someone could sympathize with them when they can resist going batshit for a few minutes. They don't know that Amy thinks that Yelp is some shadow cabal out to crush small business or that her husband is a pretty shady dude. On the surface, their story is believable. You could tell that, as poo poo broke down, the audience started picking up on how unbalanced these two are. I also loved Phil getting tired of their argumentative bullshit. I'm sure he was satisfied for the good bit of TV he got out of it but drat, he could have accomplished more counseling a brick wall.

The only reason to watch HK is to see just how bad they gently caress up performing simple tasks such as... scrambled eggs. I know there is no way I could cook a risotto my first try ever, but I sure as hell made scrambled eggs right my first try when I was 7.

I'm used to seeing HK host fake celebrations and non-events (breakfast for schoolkids, first responders, etc), but the whole  "Keep quiet, because we're hosting a wedding!" was just too much. It felt like the show got mixed up in the editing room with a daytime soap opera, and I burst out randomly laughing at the show (not with, at) at least a half-dozen times during the elimination challenge alone.

Shh be quiet, it's a wedding! Now prepare their wedding entree of a fried egg on toast. Edit: I'm in the middle of watching that Dr. Phil thing, so I'm just going to leave this here:

Mad Dragon posted:It's really not that difficult to make risotto. Seriously. It requires some practice to get it down but it's not a monumental feat. What pisses me off is that they have risotto at practically every dinner service and yet half of the people who try to get on the show don't know how to make it. I know it's got a lot to do with the producers purposely putting in awful cooks to get Ramsay all pissed off, but they could at least make it for themselves a couple times a week leading up to casting.

Yeah, but risotto at leasts makes more sense when it comes to all the pressure causing a mistake. Risotto requires attention and care throughout the cooking process whereas things like the Wellingtons are already prepared and just go into an oven. But people gently caress them both up, so who the hell knows.

The first UK HK featured celebrities, and they handled the risottos well after, I think,he very first service.

I'm fairly positive they parcook the risotto during prep, so I think a lot of the fuckups have a fair bi to do with whoever was in charge of that. I recall one service where they prepped the risotto to mush, so it was basically impossible for service.
