hell's kitchen

Yep, another one of those tv reality shows. Caught one episode of it while I was back home in M'sia (did I tell you I love my Astro?) Haha, anyway, quite liked the show. Gordon Ramsay, has quite a notorious reputation (liberally uses the 'F' word it seems), but as my sis puts it.. the contestants most of the times, really deserved to be scolded!

Teams were divided into 2: Red and Blue team. Red team for ladies while Blue team are all men. The episode that I saw had some contestants who are not really chefs. There's one pizza chef called Giacomo (but he got booted out subsequently) and there's this guy who keeps whining and quite drama kind. Forgot what's his name though but he didn't get booted out although his 2 other team members nominated him to be out.

This is how the kitchen setting looks like:


The contestants will compete and diners will walk in to the restaurant and order something. The kitchen is separated from the dining area via a glass screen, which means the 'diners' can see what the contestants are doing.

That episode saw one guy contestant using a spoon to taste the food and customers saw it and commented that they didn't want him to cook their food. Then there was this girl contestant that took so long to prepare the fish wellington that the diners walked out (after waiting for over an hour, I think...)

Gordon Ramsay looking horrified (and probably lashing out at the contestants):
