Hell's Kitchen Season 6 - Fin

I just watched the premiere last night (have the show on the season pass) and damn was it compelling TV drama. I love me some Hell's Kitchen.

I can't even remember what the deal was with Jimmie Mac back then, LOL I thought for a second he was the dude who was ripping people off on trades (wasn't that someone with a similar name who loved pro and college basketball? Like Jimmy Mac 9806 or Jimmy James 2809 or some such nonsense?).

Anyway, "Jim" was great. Hilarious just like Robert (so happy he's back), except that he's not morbidly obese. I will definitely root for him to win. I loved the mini confrontation between him and Van but seriously Jim needs to watch out because that guy's roid rage is going to blow up soon and he's going to take someone's head off before the LAPD haul his ass off. Van versus Jean Philippe was fantastic.

And the PTSD blow up of the marine, Joseph, was soooo off the wall it wasn't even funny. Must have seen some serious action as a cook on tour in Iraq and Afghanistan. That dude is batshit crazy.

There are more psychos on this show than any other reality show, bar none. Especially this season. And what's with all the Chef Ramsey groupies? He's got some serious psycho stalkers among the chefs, LOL. Between the little gay dude that's fawning over him and a couple of those tranny looking "female" chefs (plus the ho bag that got punted - that was the bimbo that made the lobster signature dish with just tiny shredded lobster nuggets w/o the lobster tail LOL), Ramsey needs to watch his back.

Ramsey calling Jim a donkey, LOL that will be so funny.

And if he does get kicked off, I hope he stuffs his chef's jacket with glitter and as he's taking off his jacket, just pulls out scoopfuls, throws it all over the restaurant and yells "GLITTER BITCHES!!!"
 
Jim said if he wasn't there he would have totally thought that the guy wasn't serious. But Joesph was totally serious. He said this in the OTT a little while back before he went on media silence.

"Eat the head!"
 
[quote name='mykevermin']I don't seem to remember Robert. Did I miss an entire season of the show? I last remember the one with that crybaby Matt.[/QUOTE]

You missed an entire season (season 5).
 
So I just got to thinking on CAGCast recently Cheapy has been saying that he wants to go to Vancouver for a vacation and coincidentally the winner of this seasons show wins a job at a restaurant in British Columbia. I dont really know the extent of the realationship between these two but it's just something I noticed.
 
Jimmie and Cheapy are friends, I believe.

The best part of the psychos on the show is that the producers give them numerous weapons at their disposal. Waiting for the accidental "hot oil" spill.

Was it worth watching? I enjoyed 4, and enjoy this one, but don't really feel like it matters that I missed out on a whole season.

Oh yes. It was pretty damn good. Especially the verbal thrashings Gordy gave out. There was this fat annoying girl...OMG what was her name...LACY!!! Yeah, Lacy. The entertainment value from watching that train wreck was high.

Also another guy, started talking shit back to Chef under his breath, Chef got up in his face, called him DONKEY!!! and the guy just looks at him deadpan and says "NO." It was goooood. But I can't recall any episodes as good as this current 2 part season opener.

And the sneak peek at this season makes it look spectacular, but they always hype that shit up with bogus editing (damn you Fox!!!). Although, the dude breaking his leg, fingers getting sliced, all sorts of burns coming up...not to mention the meltdowns and blowups.
 
This is the first time I've watched it, but are they supposed to have a bunch of people who can't actually cook? I watch a lot of top chef, where it seems like some don't deserve to be there, but they are at least capable of making pasta and cooking a scallop through.
 
ramsay isn't looking for an amazing chef he typically chooses based on leadership / organization / composure... he wants them to understand cooking & be able to but the competition isnt about being a chef as much as Top Chef is

Don't forget when one of the customers went up to the kitchen to bitch about her food. Priceless. :applause:

I don't remember Jimmie (I know the name, just don't remember anything specific about him on these boards), but so far he's my favorite. He's a nice mix of level-headed and smart ass, which is ok in my book. Hopefully he or Robert will win, because everyone else needs to be locked up.
 
Heh Suzanne is from my town, apparently a girl at work is good friends with her. Funny to at least know of two people on this show.

I thought the same thing after the CAGcast today. Funny how wombat made the passing joke about it a few weeks ago and Cheapy kind of passed it off. Maybe Mr. D knows something. :whistle2:#

Heh, nice theory, but I know nothing! I like Vancouver because it happens to be a beautiful city and is relatively close to Japan. I went there a few years ago too.

However, if Jim does happen to win, you can be damn sure I will be there!

Lies, damn lies.

Nice interview posted, sounds like Jimmie made it pretty far in the competition, if not all the way. Ramsay doesn't give compliments away like that, you gotta earn them.

OHHHHH YES...YESSS!!! How could I forget that scene. My Lord, even some who come in for the free and hopefully high quality meal have an ulterior motive. That bitch was as fake as a three dollar bill.

Yeah, Robert and Jimmie are light years ahead of everyone, none of the women seem all that interesting this year, and the three trainwrecks in waiting (one is in mid wreck right now - Joseph) are Joseph, Van, and the deer-caught-in-the-headlights little gay guy, what's his name. Runs a food store or something. You know THAT guy is just going to get shat on by Gordon this season. What did he call him? Goggles? My wife missed the second half so I'm going to watch it again with her right now, it was so damn good.

Well, the finale is in LA, at least it's been that way all the seasons I can remember. So if you come out for that, I'll buy you and Jimmie a drink!
 
heh i missed the first 2 episodes so im watching it on hulu right now. the 1st one was hilarious. i'm wondering about these people who eat at HK. who the hell would want to eat there. you don't even get any food. lol. must be free. 2nd episode looks intense. and the marine guy has a huge stick up his ass.

His name is Louis Tully no matter what he might tell you.

i read that you get paid $75 for doing it
 
[quote name='benjamouth']Really? Van is Luna's son, is Luna Vachon still alive ?[/QUOTE]
Yes and yes. She had two kids with the first guy she was married to, he is one of them. Sadly he is not the son of her second husband - Gangrel, the pseudo-vampire/wrestler/chubby guy.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Isn't that the wizard guy that hated the smurfs?[/QUOTE]

That would be Gargamel, but Gangrel may well be HIS son. The entertainment business is weird like that.
 
[quote name='KaneRobot']Yes and yes. She had two kids with the first guy she was married to, he is one of them. Sadly he is not the son of her second husband - Gangrel, the pseudo-vampire/wrestler/chubby guy.[/QUOTE]

DUDE she's married to Gangrel? I think I remember that guy right, from the 90's. Wasn't he with Edge and Christian when they were all starting out as goth Twilight-esque pretty boy vampire types? Of course Gangrel was the uber freaky big brawler type/muscle for the group. Didn't they start out worshipping Undertaker or some such nonsense?

LOL that DOES explain everything about Van.

Man, there's even more to it than that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Heath_(wrestler)

So Van's dad was Gangrel's original wrestling partner, Tom Nash, Nash's marriage to Luna broke up and she started seeing his partner? Ouch.

He's going to put JP in a headlock...or throw him onto the grill.

DVDVR. A couple of guys recognized him, I guess maybe he's had some involvement in rasslin' in the past. Her wiki does list a son being named "Van." Didn't see any reason to doubt it.

Son of a bitch, this is a rather awesome development. Van is officially my favorite horse in the race. I still can't decide rather or not to root for Jimbo Slice, although I'll admit he has his moments, he's still a giant douche. I'll leave it at as a love to hate him sentiment, until Van gets arrested and dragged off the set at least. Usually I'm very anti reality TV, but this is satisfying a weird craving I've been having for it lately.

Well this and the T.O. Show. I watched an episode of that and it's laughably horrible. Even though the entire thing is scripted and edited to cast the best possible light on him, you can tell he is a very lonely and depressed man. As a long time niner fan I've always been fascinated by his superior athleticism and parallel self destruction.

Don't forget Gangrel is also a porn director. He's directed great masterpieces, like "Miami Rump Shakerz 2".

Porn director? I read wiki too fast. I thought it said he was a porn STAR. I was thinking, okay now that is just too gross. Who in their right mind would pay to see him? Some sort of weird ass vampire/goth porn fetish?!?
 
Just saw both episodes and I thought that Jimmie did a great job, both in his cooking and interactions.
As for the actual show, I prefer the British version. This one has way too many cymbal crashes (at least 100 per episode), with a cheesy narrator and lack of sufficient food porn.
 
Do they get the least talented people to be on this show? I know it would be boring if everyone of them cooked like Wolfgang Puck. Some of these people wouldn't cut it as the fry cook at McDonalds or making the cheeseburgers at Burger King. I rather see some real people get a chance instead of some Jersey Guido idiot who thinks he is going to win over the show with sausage gravy and bisquits.
 
Pretty entertaining show, if anything. So far though, I have a hard time seeing any of these people being exec chefs. It seems like it would be too large of a step for them to handle, but the show might force them to improve.
 
Does no one agree that there are more non-chefs then usual this year? I made the following list of people who I think were put on for conflict and ratings.

Actors/No cooking talent
Melinda(Gone) - From the way she talked in the confessionals it sounded like she was in the wrong profession.
Amanda - First french toast on a TV show then putting fish in the freezer, where does she work Applebees?
Van - He’s made it obvious to me that the producers told him to do his best, hence his “charisma” line.
Joseph - Sous chef, maybe of an old age home in Long Island, NY and he has a lot of aggression from working there.
Lovely - Based on her I need a 20 min break during service makes me suspicious she could fit this list.
 
Over the shows run, My dad has been invited many times to eat in Hells kitchen during the show. Every time he gets it, its while its on airing. So I was under the impression that the show was a few weeks ahead of us, but its still going on at the moment.

If he gets invited this season, I will have to get him to take me...
