Hell’s Kitchen Recap!

Posted by on June 13 at 17:40 PM

Who caught last night’s season premiere of Hell’s Kitchen? This is one of my fave shows from last year AND one of the most annoying. Shall I break it down? YOU KNOW I GONNA!
WHAT I LOVE: The one true purpose of reality TV is HUMILIATION, and Hell’s Kitchen never disappoints. I love it when Chef Ramsay throws plates of food on the floor, smashing it into the contestants’ chests, or vomits up their offerings calling it “cat shit.”
WHAT I DON’T LOVE: If you’ve ever watched Bravo’s Top Chef, you already know why it is a superior show — they actually have contestants who can COOK. In Hell’s Kitchen, the contestants look like they were found on Craig’s List. Here’s some of the choice jobs these losers have had: “cafeteria worker,” “caterer,” “deli manager,” and “prison cook.” There’s only one freaking sous chef in the entire pack! No wonder Ramsay is ripping new b-holes for these losers, and screaming “MOVE YOUR FAT ASSES!” Which brings me back around to…
I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Giacomo = Muppet.

Rachel = Badass.

Heather = Badass squared.

Sara = Wendy Pepper.

What happened at the end? My electricity went out just as Ramsey was about to choose the losing team.

my money's on heather, woman is hardcore.

keshmeshi, gabe went home.

There are some starving third world citizens out there who would be rather offended at a show like this :P

That said, funny stuff. American Idol for chefs!

Rachel and Giacomo look like potential finalists: Rachel looks like she's mentally tough enough to last till the end while Giacomo looks like he's got some gifted cooking skill.

Heather's going to crack a few episodes down the road, I can sense it.

Hee!

Ok, I love it, but I found myself thinking about Top Chef and how those folks ALWAYS got their food out.

But my goodness... I love the humilation.

... there's a domme living in me and she wants to get out and make Giacomo (whatevs), understand what his long hair is for! *rawr*

I love the way that the contestants rote reality TV speechifying completely fails to connect with Ramsey, underlining the point that anyone who volonteers for one of these shows is most likely a massively insincere prick who deserves whatever they get.
