Hel*'s Kitchen

Am I the only one watching again this season? This bunch seem to be a group of lousy idiots. I'm sorry but no way can I compete, and I am woman enough to admit that, but every season you know he will offer Risotto and Scallops. Why didn't any of these dorks follow the previous seasons and remember that?!!!

I do love it when he gets ticked off and shuts down the kitchen. But that leaves me to wonder do the guests pay for whatever they have eaten? or do they get away scott free and head for McD's?

I love this show too! I'm not impressed with any of them either. I guess they must be better in their regular jobs than what they show on here.

I loved last night when that girl put up the 2 others for strategy and Ramsey changed it up to that other one who's always got her tongue out. It should be interesting now to see if the other 2 go after the one who nominated them.

Hells Kitchen is not a real restaurant, it's a set. The folks that are there are either invited by the producers or are extras getting paid a small fee to be there and are told that they may or may not get fed.



Found this on another board:


" June 29, 2005 -- THE white hot restaurant on Fox's hit, "Hell's Kitchen" isn't a real restaurant.

In fact, the dining room used to be a newsroom. Producers created the eatery from scratch in a Hollywood building that until three years ago housed Los Angeles' UPN station, KCOP.

"It was abandoned and pretty run down," "Hell's Kitchen" executive producer Arthur Smith told The Post. "No one was using it but it had good bones, high ceilings and an ample amount of room."

And a wide unique space was exactly what the show's producers needed to build the restaurant's two kitchens.

On the Fox reality show, wannabe restaurateurs are whipped into shape by Gordon Ramsay, the world-famous chef known as much for his hair-trigger temper and insults as for his renowned restaurants.

As it turned out, the former TV studio worked out perfectly and gave the producers an opportunity to install the show's 75 hidden cameras as they converted the TV station into a 7,000 square-foot restaurant during a hell-on-Earth three-week construction schedule.

"For all intents and purposes, we built a restaurant in the middle of Hollywood," says Smith. "We did mention it at the beginning of the show, but we don't talk about how it was once an old television studio and how fast the build was because to me that's just TV stuff and not important to the drama of the show."

Producers also had to build a living space for the contestants behind the restaurant.

"As far as the contestants, I'm sure to this day most of them don't know that it was once an old television station," Smith says.

I love this show! I could never be on it..lol I couldn't take all his yelling, but it's fun to watch.

I thought the girl Gordon chose to go last night was the right choice. She seemed to have no idea what she was doing.
The men this season are a bunch of pigs though! Talking about how they're above women..ughhh
I can't wait for next week's episode, I want to see if that Jason guy really does quit.

Thanks for the info on the restaurant. I would love to go watch a show even if I didn't eat.

I watch the show he has on the BBC and he is nothing like what he is on this show, I wonder if a lot of this is an act? He does swear a lot, but is generally a nice, helpful guy, not name calling and things like he does on this show?

And do a lot of the contestants seem to smoke? They are constantly showing them puffing away?
