Hell's Kitchen: Season 6

[Ash]

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.

If you have a good cable TV package and get BBC America, I definitely recommend checking out the British version titled "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares".
It's less sensationalized than the American version and much better in my opinion.

I like that version as well.  I don't actually subscribe to BBC America, but they throw the episodes up for free on the OnDemand section, so I follow it there.

I have to admit I was expecting Kevin to win.  He seems like the more solid and mature chef but Dave suprised me a bit with the leadership skills.  He usually seems too chill but he pulled it off nicely. 

I agree the show has the potential to jump the shark soon.  As stated earlier, the minute contestants start answering the host or judges back the show starts to suck more.  I did love in the excperts how they parodied the "I'm no ones b*tch" guy.  He had to be the most dumbest contestant ever to pull that. 

I'd personally love to go eat at Hell's Kitchen or any of the restaurants the former winners have opened.  Not sure but did Heather (previous winner) lose her job at the place she was working?

I think it was something like that.
I remember reading something on the IMDB discussion boards that a couple of the winning chefs got shafted when it came to the grand prize.
Rock was one of them.  It was something about Chef Ramsay promising them one thing and then the powers that be behind the scenes promising them another.
Ramsay obviously felt bad that Heather's prize didn't work out so he made her a sous chef on the show.  I always wondered what was up with her this season.  She looked like s**t the entire season and had a frown on her face every time she appeared on camera.

I'll try and find the discussion if it's still on there and post the link here.

After looking a few past winners, it seems most of their contracts last a year for their grand prize.
