Hell's Kitchen season three running thread

[Huggy]

Anyone else catch the first episode of the new season Monday night? Another motley crew to test the patience of the volatile Chef Ramsey. The usual suspects like the bitchy woman (take your pick), lippy guy (Vinnie) and sweaty fat guy who cries (Aaron). Early fave to win it all: Rock.

And don't forget next week's MOST SHOCKING EPISODE EVER!

I can't wait!

Huggy, bless you.

I can't help being freaked out by the midget guy who looks like he has a mental problem. He makes me uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

But, I can tell you after one episode...I don't think I like any of them. But I REALLY hate Vinnie.

 

[Huggy]

Hey Eddie might hang around longer than you'd think. But if he ****s up Ramsey will be all over his midget ass.

Aaron's Asian cowboy getup might win reality TV's all-time unintentional comedy award.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Hahahah I loved him walking out in it, Gordon saying something and then them cutting to an interview with Aaron saying "Maybe I shouldn't have worn it."

 

[Huggy]

What kind of group is this anyway? The one girl almost faints when Ramsey is checking the signature dishes and Aaron spends more time blubbering than he does cooking. Why the hell would these people want to be on this show?

The one chick thinks she can make the jump from working at Waffle House (never been to one, we don't have them up here) to running a world-class "restrunt" (as Ramsey says it)? That'd be like going from the Joe's Bar beer-league team to the Yankees.

Ramsay's great.

In a recent episode of "Kitchen Nightmare", he used "mother****er" about three times in the same sentence while berating the cook.

And not a word was bleeped.

 

[Huggy]

I didn't see all the "shocking" stuff in episode two that was promised in the promos but maybe that's still to come, I don't know.

Not a good night for the guys. Eddie was doomed when he ****ed up the spaghetti (how do you do that?) but I was stunned that Rock didn't opt to bounce Aaron, who could be the most pathetic contestant in the history of reality TV - and that's saying something.

Oh yeah, and Bonnie's got a nice, little booty too

Rock knows he can win against Aaron, Why not try to get real competition tossed when you get the chance? Also, the producers have a say in who stays/goes as well. Could be Aaron is compelling for viewers, in a train-wreck kind of way.

 

[Huggy]

Oh, I know that but they're a long way from pay dirt right now. He'll drag his team down more often than not.

Why is it over two + seasons now they continually **** up the risotto, bass and wellington? Discuss and show all work.

 

[tonysoprano]

Yeah, I was pulling for Gollum, so I was bummed to see him go. I can back Rock. And yes, I agree, Bonnie is very nice.

I hope there's an episode where Ramsey snaps and just kicks Vinnie's ass in front of everyone.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Wellington isn't easy...and that kitchen is mass chaos.

But yeah...they shouldn't suck this badly.

 

[Huggy]

I know it's nuts but these three dishes have been mainstays on the menu since the first season and it's always carnage.

I'd like to see somebody go postal on Ramsey's sous chefs, especially the bitchy Mary Ann.

THANK YOU! How frigid is she?

You're all nuts.

 

[zeke12]

You're all nuts.

Of course they're nuts.

They should be watching Top Chef...

I was wondering with whom I conversed last year during this. ... Realized it was starting back up while on vacation, what a nice treat!

Aaron is hilarious, but yes, in a train wreck sort of way.

And predictably, like last season, the red team gets the first really cool prize, while the blues are back mopping up. I dislike that; whenever there's a primo prize, the reds win.

 

[imjustagirl2]

You're all nuts.

Of course they're nuts.

I watch both!

 

[Huggy]

I'd love to see Laurent, the useless GM on the Restaurant, go to work for Ramsey.

I watch both!

Yes, but you're...




Special.

The New Yorker had a good article about Ramsey in the last couple of months. He really is a top European chef -- my assumption in watching the first couple of seasons was that Fox was overhyping his status in the culinary world.

So what would the sporting world's equivalent be of putting a top coach/manager with a bunch of semi-competent players and then watch as he tried to pick one who could compete on a top-level team? Come to think of it, that sounds a lot like the EPSN/Bobby Knight show.
