Hell's Kitchen is my ultimate guilty pleasure reality show. It doesn't take long to realize that the editing is extremely manipulative, constructing certain narratives, creating imaginary drama, and cutting every season into exactly the same formula. And objectively speaking, Gordon Ramsay's behavior in the show is really inexcusable (especially the way he talks about people who happen to be fat or women). Yet the goal of putting chefs through the wringer to cultivate the ultimate head chef, Ramsay's moments of charm and wisdom, and the underlying theme of fine dining somehow give substance to what is otherwise junk food TV.

I can't understand why Chef Ramsay lets the chefs touch their hair and don't wash their hands while cooking.

I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay and all of his shows, but for one which is a competition to become head chef at one of his restaurants, the real focus of the show is on the worst contestants every week. This first occurred to me about two thirds of the way through the first season of the show that I watched, when the remaining people all seemed to have been somewhat silent through the first bits of the season. One contestant I barely even recognized! The real shining stars apparently don't create enough drama for fox, which is why I imagine they got snubbed by the cameras until so far along. That being said, I can't keep myself from watching.

I was excited after watching all the "Kitchen nightmare seasons" eager to see what hold's behind title "Hell's Kitchen" when I watched first couple of seasons, I was instantly hooked! It's just that good, all the cruelty and brutality in this show is insane and competitors really get screwed a lot when Ramsay has "ENOUGH"! Competitions are intelligent, funny and really refreshing from other shows, Ramsay does what he does best, train cooks, but not a good way, it's just really intense to see how he shouts, yells red or blue team and specific one douche at the time, constantly someone is insight of Gordon and you can't escape from it! No way! When you do mistake, you will pay for it.Everything fits, I love the all intro sequences on the seasons, many episodes are so cring-worthy to watch! Thank you Ramsay keep this show up the air, it's the best TV brutality and really satisfaction and entertaining to watch after Kitchen Nightmares.TV reality at it's best!
