And meanwhile, anyone wanna bet that the right-wing talk hosts will be making a big deal about that Vietnamese anthem performed on last night's show praising the glories of socialism--which played at the end under the credits besides being the basis for the Road Block? If it wasn't for this "devil

The casting of the show has always been obvious--find people with restaurant experience who are self-absorbed douchebags and have Chef Ramsay scream at them for 13 weeks, punctuated by unctuous narration and that WHHHEEEAAG! guitar sound that the reality show music writers love so much. Mark J

The one season I gave it a shot (the only reality comp I've ever watched) it became obvious that a very bad chef was being kept around for drama. When we thought the best possible chef was bounced in favor of the very bad one in the next to last episode, I turned off the TV and said to my wife, "Do

The impression I got from the first ep of this version of HK was that the producers were less interested in casting talented and capable chefs than they were in creating "drama." The official policy of the show seems to have become "Let's make Ramsay yell and colorfully insult the staff" rather

Ok, first, while Joey & Meghan are fine as racers, their personalities would make me want to throat-punch them if I ever met them in person. (And when did "YouTube host" become a profession?) Back on topic - I'd argue that yes, John & Jessica are the dumbest racers in the history of the game -

I still like them better than what I deem to be the most unlikable reality show cast I've ever seen, the new 'Hell's Kitchen'. There is not one chef I am inclined to root for (and or course, having a rooting interest in a contestant(s) is how these shows survive) with many appearing to be grote

Best part of the whole fiasco was Phil's "Oy vey" in the tag. I have to give the TAR crew credit for two consecutive seasons with utterly unlikeable teams, topped by the loathsome Joey and Meghan. -Dave Sikula On Tuesday, March 12, 2013 12:30:04 PM UTC-7, Steve Timko wrote: > > YouTube hosts Jo
