One thing's for sure, Robert's going to have to stop coasting and get back to work. In episode 2, it seemed he thought he could cruise to the final.

Delusions of Grandeur
I agree, the BBC show is much easier to watch. Doesn't Gordon narrate that show, vs. the over the top narration from someone else in the US version?KN from the BBC, not the US version. Wish the US producers would take a queue from the BBC and not overproduce their shows. The fake cliff hangers, cheesy "drama' music, MTV style edits, and just an over produced show in general make it pretty hard to watch.its his personality x10people should watch BBC kitchen nightmares to get a real taste of Ramsay
Yea, he has a very confrontational, no holds barred type of personality but he also knows when to push and to back off (mostly) and when to be rough and when to nurture (mostly). But in this show, he kicks the confrontational/loud side of him up by a factor of at least 10. Kitchen Nightmares and F-Word seem to be much better representations of who he really is. It is not an act nor is it just shtick.... it is just highlighting and turbo charging one aspect of his personality and on purpose.

Yep. Not sure it would work in this format, he's actually working in the kitchen, whereas he's usually just observing and making suggestions in the BBC show.I agree, the BBC show is much easier to watch.

But it's not like the narration is recorded in real time. He could add what he was thinking in each situation after the fact.

Yes, but it would be weird hearing him talk in his calm normal voice, with the video showing him yelling at people ;-)

Good call. Figured it had to be something orchestrated since all the commercials have shown well lit and shot footage of the fire crew. If there was an actual fire, the footage would've resembled something out of Blair Witch Project.

Yes, I got that much after he said it 382 times last week.

Nothing at all. Ramsey told him to leave and he did... Cursed a lot on the way out, but that's about it.

this may be the greatest season of this show yet. haven't seen tonight's yet, but if the marine and ramsey go at it ... wow.
i always wondered how supposedly trained chefs could screw up so bad ... but after the first two hours this season, i'm convinced they're all actors and plants.

Yeah, they really built it up with lines like, "The most explosive episode of HK EVER!" ...and then nothing happened. I mean, halfway through one girl spilled some grease on the stove and had a small fire start up in the kitchen, but that didn't last very long.

You forgot that he could get hired in any kitchen in the country and they'd be glad to have him. According to him.
Wyld Stallyns

oh yeah, he did say that - makes me wonder why he even bothered going on the show in the first place then.

And is Lovely the most worthless contestant ever? I know it seems like Teneille is giving her a run for the money, but come on.
Why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?
"I have the drive to get it done, even though no one believes in me".
Contrast with:
Episode 1: "I just had to take a 45 minute break and drink 4 bottles of water".
Episode 2: Sucked
Episode 3: Sucked again
Prediction: Lovely next to go, unless Teneille manages to screw up more spectacularly, or one of the guys gets hurt and leaves the show.

The only thing that annoys me about Kevin is that I get him mixed up with the Sous chef. Scott? Other than that, seems like a good chef. Dallas guy is actually a good chef too when he's not being a psycho and threatening people.

Ever? Did you see last season? Lovely is this season's Lacey. She has a good start, but there's ways to go to catch up.
TexanFan02
Footballguy
Yeah, but it's different. I always thought Lacey was all shtick, and didn't really care. She pretty much said she didn't care several times.I think Lovely is actually completely incompetent, although I agree that there's not that much difference between the results.

Lovely should just wave the white flag on 'Hell's Kitchen' and high tail it over to 'More to Love' where she'd at least have a shot.

cant get into this season yet. The wacky marine, the diner cook, the "shrimp rain", the pasta dinner (WTF?), its all just so over the top. I thought this show held its own when it focused on the chefs, their food, and their (normal) interactions.
i'll give it 1 or 2 more ep's to see if i get hooked. otherwise, looks like i'm off to the gym on Tuesday nights from now on.

Really. I made the mistake of continuing to watch that channel. That guy has no standards. Which is good for the chicks. I felt sorry for some of them.

Agreed, things move much smoother when they combine into one team. Personally I like the goof ups like 45 minutes to get an order in and fluke injuries so I'm all over this season. Its actually a lot like Idol. 12 chefs audition, in the beginning a lot of them crash and burn and I have some laughs, then the strong are left and its an impressive display.Ariel's freckles get me. I became a big fan tonight.And for the guys Robert slipped twice in the kitchen which bothered me a little. I'll take Brock Lesnar just ahead of Kevin at this point.So far its a crazy start but I think they have a strong group of chefs 5-6 quality chefscant get into this season yet.

Did he call math girl a "thick #####"? That's a new one on me but I like it
Edit- didn't realize female dog was censored. Odd.

losing the 'marine' was awful for the show. and there's no way that guy served as a marine. marines know how to take orders and they know how to show respect.

I don't think he liked Ramsey's accent.

he wasn't going to let a limey talk to him like that

I'd be interested to hear how this goes. I like to watch food network and try a new recipe every now so my mom insisted I go to culinary school on her dime but I was leary of making my hobby my career

I think the favorites at this point is Ariel from the women and Kevin, the bald guy with the injured ankles as the favorite for the men.

I am a J&W alum. I went about 20 years ago to the Charleston campus.
While not as demeaning and psychotic as Ramsey, they did run a lot of it liek a boot camp when I was there. I learned a lot, but it was not an enjoyable experience. I was about 30 when I went and had a lot of experience. I was in the advanced program and even that was more geared to lightly experienced 20 year olds.
A buddy of mine went to the Providence campus and he said it was run as a front by the mob. Food for the school brought in and turned around and back out to mob restaurants. I never saw anything like that in Charleston, but I really was not looking for it.

I love how that because Ramsey decided to scare the chick only to ask her who should go home, she now thinks Ramsey values her opinion.
