I watched and dont remember who left!! LOL I will say its almost comical the behavior of Sabrina - esp if she is a plant/actress, with those glasses she does look like someone - Previews have her doing more sabotaging!

re: the chef on Kitchen Nightmares I heard he was having an affair with a young pastry chef... who knows - its sad tho

Raj was listed as a "personal chef" - a far different thing from a restaurant chef. None of the time pressure or cooperation issues -

I am very glad he is gone, but just sayin' -

Hell's Kitchen has become the Jerry Springer of cooking show....fake and trashy.

It is a good thing that I am not watching this at home - I would reach into my TV set and strangle Sabrina!

Count me among those suspicious of both Raj and Sabrina.

They definitely bring the entertainment but glad Raj is gone so maybe they'll focus more on the cooking.

Does anyone have a clue how much dinner at Hell's Kitchen might cost?

I read this online:

Dining guests at Hell's Kitchen don't pay for their meals or beverages, although Granada America (the show's production company) donated tickets for sale to a charity auction with an estimated value of $1,000.00 US.

Guests, sometimes invited and probably recruited at other times by casting calls, enter into a contractual agreement with the production company, and are required to comply with the directions of production staff.

The restaurant itself is not a real one, and is not available to the general public. It was created as a set in the old television studios of KOCP in Los Angeles.

You're welcome - I only knew where to find the information because my son and I wondered the same thing!

LOLL! "Directions of production staff" may explain some of the mass walk-outs! Although, if I had to wait an hour for an app, the thought of leaving would certainly cross my mind, but I would hang in there for the "experience." MUCH more my kind of "experience" than doing "Survivor," for instance!

I definitely would be sure not to be overly hungry before going on that show. It would be fun though.

I dunno if I'd wait for 2 hours though, as some shows have shown. I'm just not that eager to eat the food from chefs who are (mostly) amateur-ish and I'm definitely not eager for cam time! :-)

Well drat! I am going to miss the show yet again! Tonight I am going to the theater to see "To Kill a Mockingbird," however, which has gotten rave reviews. I have already planned lots of library time tomorrow to catch myself up!

Tonight is the first episode I watched. I've been trying to catch it online but haven't had time. I sacrificed Hells Kitchen for The Middle and Modern Family.

Sabrina - is Ramsey just keeping her around to try to teach her some humility? Some discipline? She's a nut job.

So, guys! Who left? Apparently NOT Sabrina, but that doesn't narrow it down completely! Over 14 hours until I can watch it online!

Melissa and Trev were asked to switch teams. They had a salad competition, the winning salad would appear in a great magazing (was it bon appetite?) Rob's salad won (there was a bit of drama with the making of the scallops with Rob and one of the women made a scallop salad as well - it was between those 2 salads. It would be featured in Hell's Kitchen as well)

They put a chef's table in each kitchen - Rob was to serve the Blue team's table as well as make his salad. Melissa was to make his scallops - she did horrible, lots of burned, lots of raw, they finally ran out of scallops.

Jillian was to serve the red team's chef table - and she garnered lots of sympathy (she seemed like she was acting a bit kooky - is she always that way?)

Sabrina and Trevor got into it - yelling etc -

Boris did a terrible job, and I think it was Vinny that was trying to get him to focus, he finally was kicked out of the kitchen by Ramsy - but both teams did serve all their tables.

Ramsy told both teams to nominate someone. Drama. Drama Drama. Jillian told Chef Sabrina... and Rob said Boris. Chef called out Melissa and Melissa went home - she wasnt happy going before Sabrina - Sabrina seemed to get teary eyed saying she would work hard yada yada...

I am relying on a memory that doesnt always remember things correctly!

I dont think Chef sees all that we see with Sabrina - and surely not the diary rooms - - and I wonder if that "direction of the production staff" also doesnt suggest names... Sabrina is entertainment...

Tthank you for the play by play! I always feel more "settled" watching an episode when I know how it turns out - although I don't like the outcome of this one!

In the past, you could usually see a couple of people that might be the final 2. This season, not so much. IMO none of the people are qualfied unless the editing is such that they are being hidden from us.

The closest might be Russell, but there again, he's not really standing out from the group. Haven't really made up my mind if Vinny is qualified or not. The hairgel gets in the way.

I think they brought this season in way too quickly. I've only watched one episode (maybe the first?) and that was cuz I was traveling and it was what was being watched where I was visiting.

But as to the too soon... I have absolutely no interest in watching Ramsey blow a gasket. Over the summer, sure. There's not much else on and it's mostly enjoyable. But it seems like the previous season JUST ENDED and now Ramsey is back with another season.

At any rate, based on what I saw that first episode, I wasn't a fan of any of these peeps.

I can't stand the way Sabrina keeps saying she's going to go ghetto on people. Along with the thugs, there's a lot of upstanding citizens in the ghetto. Let's see her go to the projects with that mouth.
