E: I'm honestly surprised that Micah became one of my favorites this season considering the start he got off to. I now expect he'll be the guy this season that makes it to like, top eight, gets eliminated, then one of the judges offers him a job in one of their kitchens or culinary school tuition or something.

I always liked Micah. I'm glad he's doing well. His ~story~ got me good from day one.

Also I don't know what about my post was (seemingly) worthy of low-key mockery but sorry I guess. :(

In the beginning I couldn't stand Subha because he seemed like a total space cadet but he's grown on me. To be clear I liked everyone laughing because it didn't seem mean spirited at all. It seemed good natured and like a bunch of stress breaking for everyone. :3:

That’s my guess as well. It was endearing as hell when he unconsciously went drat drat drat like Ramsey tonight.

I figured as much but I am kinda I guess the word is "tone deaf". So I mishear things people say all the time and just interpret what I think they said. But it figures my hearing is correct this time. I was thinking he was calling Subha, "Subaru" as a friendly joke of sorts since I they all probably are staying in the same house/hotel. But now I am just thinking he is an ignorant douche.

Aw, we weren't mocking you, I just thought it was funny you were complaining about Renee before you were caught up; since she was already eliminated.

You'd already gotten what you wanted and didn't know it!

if micah doesn't win the season (in a finale with dorian probably) then the producers are seriously loving up the season narrative. no one's getting a villain edit probably bc those have fallen out of favor the last few years, but by my count we have at least 3 "how the gently caress are you still here" arcs with bri, subha and sarah and no one's being poised as a frontrunner other than micah and dorian (and i guess fred might have a redemption story brewing) but it feels like it's been a long time since there was a group challenge which, this season in particular, have sunk just abt everyone to the point that i'm wondering if the producers decided to avoid them going forward. but there are no dark horses (again except maybe fred) and keeping the bar so high mostly has everyone struggling to compete at all, which makes for great trainwreck television but i'm not thinking that whoever wins is gna have a cookbook ppl want to buy for now.

I don't remember specifics, didn't Micah say he got kicked out of his house by his parents or something? Or if he didn't get into the competition that he wouldn't have a home to go back to? If he makes it far and reaches final 3, the person's family usually goes on the show to bring support. Maybe I should refresh my memory but for now I remember his parents sounding like complete assholes. let me know if I'm wrong

I'm thinking the finale will be either Micah or Noah vs. Dorian. I'd like to see Jamie be one of the last to go; he seems like a cool dude and I want to hang out with him.

I like this season. There seems to be more focus on cooking and less on drama and BS.

Subha actually even called himself that in the latest episode, so I'm guessing it's actually a nickname and not Noah being a dummy.

Bri's been in the bottom the past five episodes straight. It boggles my mind. And the waterworks start every time.

In contrast, according to an elimination table, Sam was low four eps straight, did pretty well for three more eps, then got bounced for being 'low performing' or whatever Gordon said.

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So my wife and I have been trying to get back into Hell's Kitchen after taking many many many years off. We started back up with season 16 and holy gently caress is this season unwatchably bad. I don't think that there is a single person on this season that we can like and we are actively angry any time any of them talk.

Are seasons 17/18 as bad as this or was season 16 just an especially obnoxious crew?

Season 18 was a bit better because it was "Rookies vs. Veterans" so you got savvier people with familiar faces.

My conspiracy is they kept her in over Fred because the plating challenge was next.

Also Subha's strategy of being 2nd worst every challenge is going really well.

As someone who works like a messy rear end in a top hat even when I'm trying to be upscale I feel very represented by Subha and will be very sad when he eventually gets cut because he can't keep sliding by on 'well ok you're a mess but the food is good and this other person was a mess and made bad food'

As annoying as I find Subha, I can't be too mad at him because I'm a good home cook but work terribly under time pressure and scrutiny, and my plating skills are not the best, so I'd be just as annoying if I were on a show like MasterChef.

yea I do wanna be all 'oh god why is he here' but also I'd 100% be him if I was on the show so hey rock on Subha get your spotlight and have fun.

Noah fuckin suuuuuuuucks though, I'm so bored with his shtick. I also dislike the military torture lady on principle but she does so little I usually forget she exists until that hilarious 'military interrogator' title pops up like it's a normal thing.

Might work for a company like Shipt. People order groceries through an app, the Shipt contractor does the shopping and then delivers them directly to the customer.

I think that means they do the grocery shopping for rich people, seniors and people that can't leave their houses.

But with online ordering, I suppose they can be someone that works for a job like Amazon Fresh or Shipt and pulls the orders from the shelves. Not 100% sure.

Also, larger supermarkets / grocery stores have dedicated employees whose sole responsibility is to receive orders, fulfill them, package them and load them into the customer's car at a pre-determined time.

Exactly same. I’m ok with Noah, he seems like a bright redneck who watched some reality tv and was like this poo poo looks easy, just always agree and say something positive even if his need to always say something in the background is mildly annoying. Much better than the usual redneck stereotype of being dumbfounded by things they ain’t never seen before. I’ll take that over blonde torture lady.
