Why are they picking contestants who have NO kitchen experience? TV drama is the only thing I can think of. Those who have been *in* a working kitchen definately stand out compared to those with no idea what they are doing. This isn't about training/learning, it's about surviving by someone else's rules. And why are there NO hair coverings in that kitchen (except Tom's sweatsoaker)? Chef hats aren't as good as hair nets, but it's better than nothing. 'squeek'

They did this last year too, Konamouse. If they hired skilled people then Ramsey would have no one to yell at and hairnets would make the women look bad. TV, you know.

The men sure aren't being "editied" in a very good light.

Tom's bye bye can't come soon enough, for me. Man, those guys sure don't have a lot of maturity. Giacomo was the closen't thing to eye candy on the guys team and now the he's gone, I'm sad...;) When the ladies were finishing lunch weith Ramsey one of them said "miss me" when he left. Who said that, Heather?

Those guys are very bad. The women are just kicking them around that kitchen. Brutal.

Lil - I think it was Virginia. I can't wait to see Tom leave, and what is up with that guy Keith. He say he has a lot to prove because of how he talks and dresses, well that can be easily remedied, pull your pants up, ditch the sideways cap that is only meant for boys under 15 and even then it's iffy and speak like a grown up. On the girls team we haven't seen too much of the older woman and what she is capable of. I did love the glee that Sarah was taking in the dressing down of Heather, that girl is bossy. I wonder if the will resplit the teams next week?

Jasper, thanks. I couldn't figure out who said that. The girls seemed fairly flirty with Ramsey, right. The previews for next week showed Ramsey going off on the ladies. Their grace period might be over but that means another week of Tom.

The men are a total trainwreck. Didn't there seem to be more guys/people with "something" on the ball as far working in a kitchen? I wouldn't want to see any of these people win w/o going back to culinary school and then work for a few years in a resturant. YUCK!!!

I liked Heather till tonight. I liked Sara till tonight. Both of them are so sure of themselves and Heather's little tirade with Garrett was a little drama queenish...I mean, the guy was only trash talking back to her. If you can't stand the heat...get out of the kitchen. No pun intended. Where the hell did they find those guys? What a worthless lot...it's really sad that an ex-prison chef and a Gangsta wannabee are the only ones from the guys that seems to know what they are doing. I get the feeling Virgina would like to Wellington Chef's beef...if'n ya know what I mean.

I really hate the way Chef Ramsey behaves. I cannot watch this show. It's like looking at a horror movie, I peek, between my fingers, for a look or two. There is absolutely no excuse for Chef Ramsey. I hope he is removed, permanently from my TV soon.

It sure seems like last year's group were more qualified than this bunch. They really should pick people that have a clue.

I agree. As I remember it there were actually good potential chefs last year.

Where do they get the folks that dine at Hell's Kitchen? Don't they know that it will be a few hours to get their food? My advice, eat before you go. I loved it last year when they ordered pizza and had it delivered. Huk.. Great baby photo of Keith!

Okay, did anyone catch what Chef Ramsay did that he'd never done before in Hell's Kitchen? He made a statement to that effect...that he was about to do something he'd never done in Hell's Kitchen, then they went to break. When they came back from break, all he did was switch up the men's stations (moving Giacomo to fish, Garrett to meat). Did I miss something else? Because he's changed up the stations before...did that the first ep of the season when he swapped Polly and Heather. Uggghhhh, I wanted to see Tom go. There was no way Giacomo was making it to the end, but he didn't annoy me (and I agree with Lilfair that he was the closest thing to male eye candy that we had). Tom, I just wanted dead (well, you know...in Reality TV terms...off my show is dead to me). I don't want the pain of another week of him.

I figured that when he said that, that he was going to fire someone on the spot. Disappointing that he only had Giacomo switch stations. Tom is creepy to me. He tries to be this tough guy, but when I see him from a distance, I think he looks like he plays Kate Smith or some other large female singer in a Las Vegas show or something.

Tom reminds me of Al from Happy Day's. The first Al not the little chinese guy. He is so wishy washy. Also who was the guy that was helping the guys. When the stove wasn't on he asked Giacomo if it was the first he noticed it and also made the comment there is not enough time to make more tomato sause find it somewhere else(In my opinion a huge hint for take it from another station) I'm sure there is one for the girls but she never spoke at least that we saw. And also if it is an open kitchen in a restraunt and a chef showed up with his pants falling down and showing his underware he would be sent home for the night and told to change and come in next time in proper attire. The girls do work well together(Yet they are still trying to stand out the strongest to Chef Ramsey) and for the one who burnt her hand sitting out for the next day's task was a smart thing. The pain after a burn can intensify greatly once you get near a heat of a stove again. Especially in the first 24 hours. The one thing that made me cringe about the girls is chef Ramsey kept telling them what the third item was and they never listened. Every swithch he kept tellin gth guys "still on the tortalinie" They should of guessed tortalinie was the third item.

I agree with those who think the girls were awfully flirty with Ramsey. Who was it that said,"Wouldn't it be nice if Ramsey was putting on our suntan lotion for us?" I CANNOT STAND TOM!! He is such a wimp. He does give up right away. When what's his name said don't worry about the tomato sauce (someone found a jar in the fridge for him) and he said I'm already doing it and continued working on it. I wanted to yell at him!! Then he has the nerve to get mad at that guy when Ramsey asks him what he's doing!!! Giving him the 'evil eye' as he put it. I loved it when Ramsey told Tom he was a wimp with his burn!! What a wuss. Then Tom totally gave up between those 2 incidents. I think they kept Tom for TV drama.

Free, the guy helping the guys was Sous Chef Scott. The ladies have Sous Chef Mary Ann helping them. Huk'd, that's what I thought he was going to do, too...fire someone on the spot. Miz, I agree that Tom is probably being kept for the drama, but they seem to have a lot of other people providing drama, too. I think they could lose Tom and we'd be just fine.
