So tired of the bleeping (cursing), smoking, fighting, unprofessionalism of contestants....worse show of all Ramsey's productions. I'm done. Can't take another episode.

I worked with Petra, she was our realtor. I have to say she was the best realtor I ever worked with and I have bought several homes. She is knowledgeable, explained everything throughly and always on time. Her communication and negotiation skills are the best. She got us our dream home and it was a pleasure workig with her. She is energetic and fun to be around, always upbeat and made this a great experience. If you are looking for the best realtor in Phoenix, call Petra Demers. Realty One Group, Glendale, AZ

Hell's Kitchen is a great reality show, mixing a love of cooking, eating with the high drama and high stakes atmosphere of a real restaurant. The show features teams, eliminations, competitions, and of course the highlight dinner service, where chefs are put to the test to see how they perform under pressure. Its a delight to watch Chef Ramsey intensity as he tries to pull out the best from his chefs, and although some people might initially be put off by his harshness, its amazing to see what he can bring out in people under pressure. If you are looking for a great show to watch tune in to Hell's Kitchen for a great night of entertainment!

A very interesting show I get some good ideas on how to change some of my own recipes. It is always interesting to see how people react under stress.There is nothing I did not like about it

Hell's Kitchen is very entertaining, however not as good as before the presenter was changed, bring back Angus !!

Hells Kitchen is facinating entertainment.
Already had a lot of respect for Marco and that has grown after watching him handle Jody with far more understanding and kindness than he deserved.
He even managed to diffuse the anger of Jody's victims, who all agreed to give that arrogant ignorant little bully another chance.
Hope he realises that his reprieve is not because anyone likes him but because they recognise and sympathise with his shortcomings.

I read earlier comments,who stated he would not last.Unfortunately they are incorrect. His show is HIGHLY successful in America. He rates a Million dollars for a months work on the show. Advertisers cant wait to get in on his Nielson ratings. Personally its more realistic and entertaining than watching 2 "stars" dancing a completely rehearsed set. I dont understand that if Americans "love" Simon Cowell, who is a very turse englishman,with a sharp tongue, then whats the problem with Ramsey, who actually teaches something while he's yelling at the chefs? What does a cruel panel of "stars" offer to help their contestants,or teach them to be better?

Hell's Kitchen is a very entertaining show!!! When you look at all the other reality shows on television, out of all of them this one actually has staying power. Sure, Chef Ramsey is mean and nasty to the contestants, but thats what gives the show it's unique edge over the other reality shows. He likes the shock value, and this show definitely has shock value!!

I would love to be on the Hells Kitchen show with Gordon Ramsay. Whether he curses and throws things or not I still love the show and everything he does.

It is frustrating to watch Ramsey beat down these chef's. He is a real jerk to these people. There is no constructive criticism, all he does is insult his potential peers. He calls them names like "fat cow", and other nastier names. So, if you like to watch people being humiliated, then this is your type of show, however, if you want a real cooking show, I recommend Bravo's "America's Top Chef." I personally don't have cable but download it from iTunes. I still watch "Hell's Kitchen", and continually ask myself why. I guess I hope that I will see some real cooking, but mayhap I am not as enlightened as I think I am.

Hell's Kitchen is about a lunatice chef that spends most of his time screaming at the participants. For some reason he thinks that the louder he screams and the more he swears, the more results he will produce. I'm not sure what century he thinks we're living in. The restaurant is obviously fake, since no customer in his right mind would spend time or money going there night after night just to be turned away without actually receiving any food.
This show is embarassing for anyone that acturally works in the restaurant industry, and a waste of time for anyone else.
Someone should tell him to go cook his own stupid risotto!

Hell's Kitchen: Ok here it is, the show is slightly above average and I say this because:
#1 No one wants to watch people cook and be told oh that's nice, good job, oh yes you boiled the water nicely but the pasta is a bit sticky but that's quite alright try again sweetheart.. BORING!!!!
#2 It is in CALIFORNIA. The customers, although it had been a long wait, are the whiney type that are most likely used to people kissing their hide, otherwise they would have waited 45minutes and left PERIOD!! So they got what they deserved.
#3. This show is supposed to be a boot camp for Chefs, and Ramseys reputation is on the line so he is going to make sure that they don't only do it right, they do it with flair!
#4. People are TOO DAMN sensitive these days which makes them insecure and lazy!! That is not how things were back in the old days! They did what they needed to no matter HOW hard was, if we were our ancestors, America wouldn't be what it is today!
#5. The contestants are what brings the show to average, there is not really anything special about any of them.
Overall it's a decent summer show to watch, there isn't anything else on right now that is edgy so this will do for now.
***BTW Beauty and the Geek SUCKS, I'd rather watch paint dry.***

Hell's Kitchen:
Fox is out to lunch. it looks like they took all contestants/wannabe actors, who applied for this gig. after watching shows like apprentice and American idol, I have come to expect that the producers have filtered out all the boring people who wouldn't even make it to one of those MTV reality shows. apprentice starts with a million applicants and ends with a group of characters you can route for or against. American idol entertains us with genuine talent and complete lack there of. Hells kitchen introduces us to people who kind of sort of have this dream of owning a restaurant but don't have a clue as to where to start. There is no one to route for or against except maybe the main character, who's over the top personality, is exaggerated to the point that it's unbelievable.
after all the hype and excitement this show was a major let down. but that's what I am starting to expect from fox.

Hell's Kitchen: The head chef (Gordon) is trying to be Simon from American Idol, but he fails in so many ways. In the first episode I felt that the only reason the restaraunt wasn't working was because of him and him alone. Instead of telling the workers how to improve their dishes to make them acceptable, he's just grandstanded as a bully.
This guy is not only unlikable....he's unwatchable! The girl that got voted off made a desert that got high marks. The reason Gordon gave for selecting her to go was that she did not help her team...which a lot of others were guilty of too. This guy does not work for this show.

Hell's Kitchen - This show rocks! I am a huge fan of reality TV and this show is one of the best I have seen. I can't wait to see what happens next week. The head chef is vicious - and the twerps they've recruited as contestants are deserving of his wrath.

Hell's Kitchen is doomed because it's too rough, it has a lot of foul language and it's poorly scripted.
At some point I've had an impression it was a fake restaurant, filled with actors, not real customers.
The leading character was rude to customers, which is completely unheard-of. No chef says to their customers "F#@&-off" or "go back to plastic surgery". I've watched the show for an hour and I've heard something nice ONCE. This is not gonna fly. It's doomed just like that show with Wanda Sykes - she was just too mean and too rude. Hence - the show flopped. And so will this one.

I suppose the customers are aware of their level of participation on the show as a judges of the food and service, it would be unrealistic to expect them to behave as they would in any other restaurant. It would then make sense if they are expected to participate in a way that serves the purpose of the show. When you go to a restaurant knowing that you may not be served at all as a part of a challenge, you know smirking and complaining to get some camera time is not welcome.

While your comments are interesting and appreciated, it is obvious you have never worked in a kitchen. I have been party to worse language and treatment of customers in the atmosphere of a successful restaurant! I too felt that there was a possibilty that the restaurant scenes were staged with actors and the like however....it is NOT unheard of to receive or demonstrate such treatment in the restaurant world.....Especially in LA.
Written on: 06/06/2005
I know what you mean about the customers getting rough treatment. I believe they simply are getting to eat for free. How else could they wait for 50 minutes for an appetizer and not walk out?

Hello! - there is no script, Ramsey says how it how is - no fluff, no gloss, no pretending. Also, there is no character, its not a story line!!!......
