the man needs a good flogging! (the British like that kind of thing)
he probably is a total teddy bear in real life but YIKES, I would never take someone yelling at me like that.

I've only watched a few shows.

Last seasson, she was the one that was really close friends with winner Heather.

Did they ever say how she died?

Just found this -- said it was a gunshot wound in bed at her family's home -- very sad.

That's sad (about Rachel). She seemed like a nice person but seemed somewhat insecure (but who wouldn't be with the way they are treated on the show).

Glad the show's back. Gordon Ramsey is very different on the BBCA show 'The F Word'. You see him with his family throughout the series and he seems like a nice person. In the kitchen, though, it's a totally different story.

Everyone in the cast has some cooking experience except one who's a kitchen manager(so they probably do too).

Contestant information and short video clips are up at the official website: http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/

There is an extended preview with information about the previous winners. Heather is at http://www.redrocklasvegas.com/dining/terra_rossa.php (and not T-Bones as originally thought).

This season's winner will open their restaurant in my home casino, Green Valley Ranch. We know that Il Fornio will be closing this summer, to be renovated into a new Italian restaurant - so I guess this will be the home turf for the next winner.

Hopefully the menu has changed a little (aren't we all tired of Beef Wellington????). Looks like some sort of appetizer with fried eggs is causing grief for the women's team in the first episode. Yup, men vs women for starters.

There's something green that Ramsey spits into. That can't bode well for whoever made it. Probably will earn a donkey comment.

Very sad about Rachel. I liked her.

I can't wait for this show! I just love Ramsey. He's such a total a-hole. He's says some things that I'd love to be able to say and get away with, though. LOL

I watched the premiere of Food Network Star last night - hope I can keep all these chefs and their egos separate!

Is this the first time that both The Next Food Network Star *and* Hell's Kitchen are on at the same time? I do think it'll be an interesting compare/contrast thing. And yeah, keeping 'em separate ought to be interesting.

I have a serious love/hate relationship with Ramsey. I detest the disrespect he shows the chefs, and dunno if it's for "good TV" or if he's really like that. OTOH, I do understand that it's his name on the restaurant. But then again, the people who eat the dinners served danged well better know they are guinea pigs for the reality show, and so really, how upset could they be? (Although I guess we have seen some upset diners, yes?)

If I hadda pick a show that *I'd* wanna be on, I'd pick Food Network. Just cause I prefer "nice" to "mean for the sake of mean". It does make good TV though, and there are definite strong emotions when you watch HK.

I really like Ramsays' Kitchen Nightmares.

I actually dislike how staged Hell's Kitchen is -- down to the fake actor diners. It doesn't seem "real" to me. And I might change my mind after watching, but per the commercials it looks like perhaps they have chosen a few contestants who don't know what they're doing -- to make "good" TV? To me, that's bad TV. I'd much rather see a group of talented people who are "characters" than characters for TV's sake.

Two things have come to mind.

# 1...
A friend of my daughter's is a sound tech who works on many, many reality shows. He worked on Hell's Kitchen last year. He said that Ramsay was an incredibly nice man. Always ready to listen to suggestions from the crew and never yelled at them. He was totally different when the cameras weren't rolling.

#2
On Ramsay's F Word, his second season, he made a mention of the show in the US. He said that basically most Americans wouldn't watch it without the antics.

I didn't like Hell's Kitchen last year, don't know yet if I'll watch it this year. I have come to appreciate his genius through other shows and interviews.

I like HK, but I think I'd enjoy it more if the competitors were more skilled and mature. I, too, enjoy Ramsey more on Kitchen Nightmares and F Word.

I always say I'm not going to watch these things. Then, nothing else is on and I am sucked in once again !
