Mike literally threw his poo poo in the microwave for like five minutes and then plated it, and he's offended enough that Ramsay isn't interested that he's going to start whining? Dude's gonna be GONE

TheChad posted:It's really just a vehicle for 'angry ramsey screams at idiots'. Near the end you are usually left with a few competent chefs I guess. The first half of a Hell's Kitchen season is the most entertaining because of all the loving bizarre people and hilarious gently caress-ups. The last three to four episodes are also usually pretty good because the really talented chefs are still around and they get a lot more attention since they're the only ones left. Unless there's a really good "villain" around, the late-middle of the season tends to drag for me.

Well, there's our gratuitous half-naked shot of the token pretty chef for this season. Fortunately for Melanie, she also seems to be one of the best chefs this season. Thinking she makes it to black jackets, at the very least. Incidentally, DeMarco kinda won me over with his reason for competing. I just wish he were less of a gently caress-up. surf rock fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Apr 11, 2014 |

Postal Parcel posted:Have you seen this show before? Somewhere, a crazy person has tallied the results of every single Hell's Kitchen challenge to figure out what percentage of them were a tie heading into the final competition. I would be willing to bet good money that it would be 90% or higher. Also, Gabriel sucks.

1st AD posted:The owner was surprisingly into making changes, I almost feel like his initial stubbornness was something he got coached into doing by the producers. Honestly, I didn't think it was that unbelievable. Really, I've thought that the degree of persistent stubbornness we've seen in past episodes was way less likely than what we saw last night. I mean, his wife literally said something like, "I've watched you be a stubborn rear end in a top hat for years and I will literally leave you IMMEDIATELY if you don't simply listen to this world-renowned chef" while his son is crying in the background. Maybe he was coached a little bit by the producers, but she threw down a pretty major gauntlet right there. I don't know anyone who's so stubborn that they'll ignore a serious divorce threat from their spouse of 30+ years like it's nothing.

OmegaBR posted:One difference I always notice between KN and Restaurant Impossible - they always claim word has spread about Ramsay being in town, which causes the people to flock to the restaurant for a disastrous service, yet on RI they simply admit that Robert's brought the people in. Honestly, if Ramsay came here to renovate a restaurant, I would at least consider going there and eating a presumably lovely meal for the chance to see him. The relaunch dinner was really brief for this one, but apparently she didn't implode, so I don't know why you'd have to show a long service if everything went fine.

CapnAndy posted:I feel like Ramsay's thing for forcing any romantic relationship he sees to have a fairytale ending left a ticking time bomb at Kati Allo, though. I dunno, if that happened a year or two ago I'd agree, but it happened 14 years ago. If that was going to be the ultimate deal-breaker (as it should have been), you would think she'd leave him a decade ago.

This is, bar none, the worst group of chefs in Hell's Kitchen history. Usually, there's like one or two competent chefs in the background of all the poo poo. This season, I can't identify even a single chef as reliable, let alone good. It seems like everyone's had a major gently caress-up moment already.

I've finally realized why I enjoy watching the U.S. Kitchen Nightmares. Ramsay has his poo poo together and these people just don't, at all. Watching Ramsay try to understand how people can be this stupid and this lazy is just entertaining, week-in and week-out. Edit: Everyone hates this head chef kid Trevor, but he doesn't actually seem that bad. Well, he's a piece of poo poo with his whole relationship with the owner's daughter, but at least he's not trying to bullshit Ramsay. I don't know how either of the chefs are set up to succeed. Literally everything is cheap and frozen, neither of them have any training, and I'm sure the reason that they're employed is because they're incredibly young and probably incredibly underpaid. surf rock fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Apr 26, 2014 |
