Hell's Kitchen

So the beginning episode was yesterday...what did you all think?

 

[Columba]

I don't like the contestants cept Aaron.

"I'm taking 5, guys!"

 

[DisGirlAllie]

HATE AARON! He is lazy and useless.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Aaron...I don't have a ton to say about him yet. He's an interesting character. I personally love Bonnie~I don't really have a reason though.

Joann(e?) should have been gone. Her people skills are shot.

I think that show is of poor taste. The chef is both arrogant and vulgar, and the candidates are painfully stupid. They won't learn anything under that fool of a host, who can't cook anyway. In NO way would I EVER want to associate myself with someone so foolish, short-tempered, and downright rude for the fun of it.

 

[DisGirlAllie]

Go Bonnie!

You're talking about Gordon Ramsey, one of the best English chefs alive, right?

And you could do better then him?

 

[Columba]

Go Bonnie!

Which is she?

 

[Mickey1122]

--to columba
Yes I am. Best is a very subjective word, though not one I would ever throw around with him.

Regardless, since when does culinary talent equate to the more important things...being a good person that doesn't act like he's the best thing since sliced bread and not being a total jerk for the sake of it..

 

[Mickey1122]

And you could do better then him?

You are in no position to tell me I can't. I can cook very well, but taste is SUBJECTIVE!

I want to see you try to create your own TV show then. And its not only taste they are getting yelled at about, its everything, how long it takes, what the dish looks like, ect.

 

[marypops!]

i'm sure this was shown last year in the UK... i don't even remember what it's about other then Gordon Ramsey's in it. There's about 2-3 other shows on now over here with him in...

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Which is she?

She's the blonde about 26ish. She's a nanny. She was also the one to say "I've got it!" (or something like that) back at Joanne.

Ummm, what would that accomplish? It's not about me being at his level or having the background in the cooking world to have a television show..that;s not the point.

He has created a television program that I perceive as trash television. I really don't understand why it's nto okay to not like it..I find his behavior and attitude apalling and repulsive, and I don't find his methods to be effective.
Also, you are bringing in the fact that they consider preparation time and plating in his critiques...well, that's another reason I don't like his show...everything is so negative. Look at 30 minute meals..that's about timing. They do plating on all of the food tv shows. That doesn't factor in or set this apart in any way. It's just another reason to bash the show because what he is doing is representing himself and his food negatively, in a non-constructive way.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

On the contrary. If someone tells you that an egg feels like an old silicon implant, you know exactly what's wrong with it. And, if you are the cook that you claim to be on this show, you'd know how to go about changing that. Not to mention, if a person goes into this thinking that there won't be constant yelling and complaints when he/she own his/her own place, then he/she really does need Ramsey there yelling in his/her face or said person is in for a rude awakening. As decantation is to chemistry, Ramsay is to hopeful self-employed chefs.

 

[Watertribeboy]

My favorite is Julia because everyone thinks she can't do anything because she is a short order cook. But, she is Awesome! Especially that day that they did breakfast. Bonnie and Rock are okay too. But Vinnie is a little jerk and I'm glad he left

 

[AngelInDisguise]

I just watched it for the first time tonight and I am in love with the show!

 

[moners_go_disney]

I love the show, and I think that Chef Ramsey's Criticism can either make or break the contestants, meaning that they can either take it wrongly and whine and cry, or it can make them try harder to further impress him...I dont like Rock very much, his attitude bothers me now, I like bonnie and Julia though, how they arent very "educated" in the culinary arts, but still, have come so far. I also like Jen though, cause she seems like she has a lot of Hidden talent............I cant make up my mind....
