Hell's Kitchen: Season 6

Ash · July 22, 2009, 04:44:10 AM

Wow!
Who would'a thunk it?
Two seasons of Hell's Kitchen in one year!?
I must be in Heaven.

Or Hell...
er...

Hell's Kitchen!

This new season was a total surprise for me. I never saw it coming.
Was it a surprise for you too?

I think the producers got together and said, "We want this season to be a real freak show! Let's get the caziest motherf*****'s we can find!"
Hence, the freakshow intro.

So far it feels kind of cheap and scripted and planned out.
As always, the saving grace of this show is Chef Ramsay himself.
His insults never get old.

And it's so awesome that big Robert is back in the game!
He was my favorite contestant from last season.

I liked when Van started yelling at the Maitre'D in the restaurant and almost had a fistfight, and Ramsey was trying to break it up. He asked Jean-Phillipe (who's Dutch or French, I forget) what the problem was, and JP goes "There's a communication problem." Ramsey says "He speaks English" and JP goes "Yeah but he's from Texas."

Unfortunately this show is about to jump the shark. Why? Whenever contestants start answering back the main guy or the judge it starts to suck...hard. However, I was entertained for 2 hours. The girl that got kicked out had some wonderful blank stares when Ramsey was yelling at her about the pasta.

Insane.... totally insane.......

I hate reality TV. I mean how does one guy with an anger management problem remain entertaining. O wait he does not, they have to bring in contestants with serious issues as well.

I thought JP was going to throw down there for a second. He was peeved. Wow. The blank stare girl was weird. I think that she had a food fetish. I watched her facial expressions when she was talking about the Lobster Tail. I am glad she is gone.

Later,

After this week I have to admit, I see more potential in some of these contestants than last season. That guy that got kicked out was a bit of a moron. Has he seen the show? Doesn't he realize Ramsey yells at people?

I missed last week's episode.
What happened between Chef Ramsay and that punk who got in his face?

Who got eliminated?

Ash · September 29, 2009, 04:49:48 PM

Has anyone been keeping up with Hell's Kitchen lately?

Van was booted off the show last week. Thank God. That kid was annoying as hell.

It's down to the final 5 and I'm thinking that the guy with the cast on his hand has the best chance of winning.

There's a new episode tonight.
Who do you think will get kicked out next?

Mr. DS · September 29, 2009, 04:55:09 PM

Van was too much of a hick for me. I think the bald guy who looks like Scott's clone (sprained ankles) will take it. The one armed kid is amazing though and I like his vibe. However, he doesn't really seem agressive and Ramsey will pounce on that. Taneal (spelling?) has a ton of heart but is a bit glib on terminology.

Unfortunately the DVR is being used to capacity on Tuesday nights in my house. However, I've been listening to it at work the past few episodes off IMDB.

I'm hoping Suzanne gets booted next, she's kind of a ditz. However, part of me finds her kind of cute.

Ugh!
Tenille may be a decent cook, but I've come to the conclusion that it's not physically possible for her to speak in a normal tone of voice.
Listen to her the next time you watch the show.
She yells everything! Even in the closed room cam interviews, she literally yells the entire time.

She makes my head hurt every time she opens her mouth.

The season finale is on right now!
Tune in to see who will win.

Dave will take it. He seems to be running his kitchen a bit better, which is what you need to do to be a manager or head chef.

Yep. My money is on him too.

Ha! Dave won!

Overall, this season of Hell's Kitchen was rather disappointing.
Much of the conflict seemed scripted and I actually didn't care one iota about any of the contestants.

Hopefully it doesn't totally jump the shark next season.
I'd rate Season six 2 1/2 stars out of 4.

What did you think?

Overall, I liked last season better. While I like Ramsay as a host, I prefer his other show, Kitchen Nightmares, where he goes to various restaurants, and shows them ways to improve business: advertising, changing menus, cleaning things properly, etc.
