Hell's Kitchen

[Cobster]

JENN NEEDS TO FCKING GO ALREADY.
I actually muted the TV last week anytime she had a sound bite, she's too fuckin' whiney and just damn annoying.
Fckin' get rid of her already.

For the record Kitchen Nightmares BBC is 100000000000x better than anything Fox puts out...that goes for anything Fox puts out, PERIOD.
The F show BBC is very cool, I wonder if the one they're releasing here in Canada is gonna be the BBC version or not.

Fox just plain ol' sucks, period.
Horrible productions, even Hell's Kitchen.
The editing is brutal and they create reactions rather than capture real ones.

And not as pretty as Omorosa.

Jenn can cook, just not when GR is screaming at her. But she can cook, and she is eager to learn. Yes, she needs to shut her mouth, but if she became a head chef, that mouth would serve her well just as GR's mouth as served him well and I think he knows that and that is why Bobby went and not her. Bobby can't cook. He has no idea what he is doing. He has slid under the radar and bitches just as much as Jenn.

What do you mean she can cook. On last nights show, she was unable to cook a piece of fish.

That is not that hard.

They play everything so over the top it is really hard to know if she just screwed up a couple of pieces of fish or if she really can't cook. I believe most things are done for the camera. (Jen can cook. She won the individual challenge last week. The questions about Jen's cooking are how fast and how consistent?)

He would never hire Jen because his stress test is verbally abusing the "chefs". When the pressure is on Jen goes all quiet and slows down. That isn't someone who he want in charge of his kitchen.

Most of the candidates are brought on the show for interest sake rather then on talent, if they plan on continuing the show they should really look at bringing in some cooking talent next season.

Ya i'm not sure if i agree about Jenn cooking. Lots of ppl can cook, but being a chef or even working in a restaurant might be a different thing for some ppl. Pressure, more knowledge, putting together a menu.
I think she's overconfident, just like Bobby. The negative side to those ppl is that they think so highly of themselves they dont believe they can do no wrong, which she has shown. And you just dont pick up/learn as much in that scenario

If they were as good as they keep saying they are, they would've stood out more with their cooking not their mouths. I think Corey probs stands out the most, followed by Christina, far as cooking goes. I'd like to say Petrozza as well, but he cant seem to get organized or keep his station clean lol BTW, was that the case this week as well?? lol

Remember last week or 2 weeks ago when Jenn took charge and made up the menu for the blue team? It was horrible they had to re-do everything.

 

[hunter001]

Jenn "the beast" is gone, lol, about time.

Dark horse, Petrozza, finally emerges from his mess and is counted in the running.

 

[thewheelman]

Petrozza !! you old smoothy...what the hell was that scene with Cory and Christina lying on him like a couple of SPs?

 

[anonemouse]

Well, with Jen gone I've now lost both of the picks I made after the 1st episode. That was before her 'drama' came to light though.

Next week looks interesting!

 

[Shades]

I'll stick to my earlier predictions...final two; Corey and Christina. In the end, think Corey will do it, she's tougher than Christina and I think that's what GR is looking for.
Petroza looks like he cracks in the previews of next weeks show. That and his inability to keep clean...and age perhaps....will do it for him.

 

[bennyboy68]

for me, the final is petrozza and corey.

no way in hell ramsay's going to put an inexperienced chef in charge of his restaurant...show or not.

look back on previous winners - all had years of experience at various levels...none were green out of school

it'll be petrozza - having a staff around you can cure the sloppy workstation issue...

 

[iprint]

No way patrozza GR can not stand a dirty work station, never will he pick him, It will not be Cory , it will be Christina>

 

[hunter001]

If he picks Petrozza they could hire an assistant just to help keep his station clean. The upside for Petrozza is he is class guy he make decision based on performance and not some b.s. reality t.v. politics. Petrozza downside is his older, set in his ways, has a poor memory, lacks creativity (I don't believe he has come close to winning a cooking challenge) and seems really slow at times. If chef Ramsey was looking for a "Steady Eddy" for his restaurant then Petrozza would be the guy. I don't think that is the case.

Corey always seems to be number two in the challenges, seems somewhat inconsistent, and seems more into the politics of the show (at times) then putting on her best performance. Corey's upside is she is still relatively young, has some some creativity (almost winning a couple of cooking challenges), has shown she can put differences aside to complete the service, she has real cooking experience, and when the pressure is on she seems to come through. Corey's downside is she doesn't alway listen to the chef (she wouldn't leave after she got burnt), instead of focusing on her talent she spends time on head games. If given a choice I would say she is the favorite.

Christina seems to win or be close in the cooking challenges, she too full of herself (which didn't hurt Rock last year), and of course doesn't really have the experience. Christina's upside is she is young, has cooking talent, she can take direction and she can work with others to get the service done. Christina's downside is she is young, full of herself (only so much room for egos in HK), seems to crumble/cry when Ramsey turns up the heat on her. If Ramsey selected Christina he could easily develop her as a "star chef" by hiring a great support staff.

I still think it will be close between Cory and Christina, and a great showing by Petrozza. If you look back at some of the previous shows you will see that Ramsey had Christina and Corey working together as his goto team to complete the service. Anything can happen in Hell's Kitchen the next show should be the "Most exciting ever"...

These guys can't possibly become HIS EXECUTIVE chef? wtf.
There must be (and will be) someone higher than them in his kitchen, that's too high a prize for them to be in control of (his kitchen).

Either they're down playing these twats and their cooking abilities or they're just downright stupid giving away such a position.

Thank GOD Jenn is gone though.

 

[tonytwist007]

I have meetings on tues nights now so looks like i'm gonna miss the rest of this show. Kinda sux, cuz this is 1 of only a few shows that i set my watch to. Maybe its just me, but tv just isnt the same anymore.

So Bobby got the boot huh. Can someone give a quick rundown of what happend tonight.
Better yet, is there somewhere on the net where i can watch episode on this show? Never done it before, but keep hearing you can?

You can download every episode on the isohunt website. Search for Hells Kitchen.

They will need a lot of coaching. The only one that would have a shot at being a real executive chef would be Petrozza and I don't see that happening.

 

[hunter001]

I just heard Chef Ramsey is in trouble in Austrailia, anybody know anything?

The winner will not be running GR's new kitchen.
Executive Chef is just a made up title used by or given to self-important cooks/chefs. Although most chain restaurants, restaurant groups and hotels do name people "Executive Chef" (some who are actually talented), the majority of those who call themselves that, are hack cooks at best. You don't see Susar, Mark McEwan etc. or any of the Iron Chefs calling themselves "Executive Chef"! Hell's Kitchen's prize of "Executive Chef" with a salary of $250G is just that, a prize. There is no way that salary will stand up after 1 year.
I'm glad Jennifer is gone. She wasn't a team player and was way too full of herself. In the kitchen, other than being able to cook, teamwork is the most important skill needed. You actually see GR jump in and cook sometimes! Last night, when Christine and Cory were in the weeds, they asked Jennifer if she could drop the quail eggs for them, and she declined, saying she was too busy stirring her 1 pan of risotto! Also, whenever GR criticised her dishes (the ones in the challenges), she actually believed GR was wrong! Of course our perception of her could be skewed somewhat by the way they edit "reality" TV these days!
Cory has a good chance to win, but, she tried to pass undercooked fish last night because she couldn't take GR's yelling anymore.
Christine, although still a student and with the least experience of the remaining three, has been coming into her own the last few weeks. She would be a perfect candidate for GR to mould into his own.
Petrozza has also begun to shine. His only problem is keeping a clean station, however, last night GR said he didn't mind the mess as long as Petrozza kept delivering perfect food!

However, if you want to see an actual chef's competition, Top Chef will be starting soon, June 24 at 10pm on Food.

I guess GR's verbiage is too much for the delicate Aussie ear!

I think what we'll see is a situation like with the winner of the first series, where the prize was opening their own restaurant. Except when he wins, what does he get? A stage with Gordon Ramsay. A little different, and the restaurant came later, but I expect that's what we'll see this time. The winner will get some "practice time" working in this or another of Gordon's restaurants perfecting skills.

There is absolutely no way that any of these people could go straight into an executive chef role (I actually disagree with your assessment of the title), and the culinary skills are a secondary reason. More importantly not a single one of these people has any experience with the business side of things, yet you expect me to believe that they'll be handling product orders and inventory, staffing, and other kitchen-related business matters? I doubt it, and if they aren't doing that, then they certainly aren't an executive chef.
