Hell’s Kitchen Premier
7 June 2007Hell’s Kitchen
Finally, the show I’ve been waiting for!
Chef Gordon Ramsay is back to breathe fire onto a gaggle of suspecting wannabe chefs. Although he shall smite them all (but one), they sure deserve it.
He will yell. He will throw things. He will call his chefs donkeys. I’m predicting, and I write this just before the premier episode, that there will be at least five “donkeys”. Of course, there is one “donkey” in the preview commercials, but I know he has a lot more in him. After all, his people are donkeys, and they should be treated as such. At least until they prove themselves, which most of them will not do. You just wait and see.
This year’s prize:
A $250K salary as the head chef at Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas.
Here are the contestants:
Tiffany
Rock
Jen
Josh
Melissa
Eddie
Joanna
Brad
Julia
Aaron
Jen
Bonnie
Vinnie
Into the kitchen they go to make their signature dishes. This is the “train wreck” part of the show. I love it.
Chef Gordon doesn’t like many of the dishes at all, save for Melissa’s steak. This is going to get brutal. I will keep a running ‘Donkey!’ tally.
The fat guy, Aaron, keeps breaking down into sobbing fits. Whaddup, dude? Chefs don’t cry! I can’t see this guy lasting long. I mean, crying is one thing, but
it doesn’t seem he really knows how to cook. Of course, none of them do at the moment.
The girls keep fighting amongst themselves. This kind of fighting is typical in Hell’s Kitchen, but the girls seem to be putting forth an extra effort to bicker. I can only
see things going south from here.
The food service goes poorly. Only a few appetizers get out and the food really looks lackluster in all. In the end, Chef Ramsay must decide who is the losing team. In this
account, he’s not going to assign a ‘winner’, just the worst ‘loser’. It’s the girls. Since Melissa seems to have her act together a little more than the others, she is
chosen as team leader and must select two chefs to go onto the chopping block. After consulting in private with her teammates, and assuring Tiffany that she is safe, she selects
Joanna and (surprise!) Tiffany for elimination.
Chef Ramsay decides to give the ax to Tiffany. An ugly beginning, and just what I had in mind!
