[benjipwns]

The guy on the right of Ramsay is the new men's sous-chef replacing Scott.

 

[TangMeng]

Jean-Phillipe megaton! Shame about Scott though.

Based on pictures alone I'm taking Dan Ryan to win it all.

 

[Darklord]

JP?! Will watch.

 

[nubbe]

But chef Scott?!

 

[benjipwns]

It's weird but yeah, after ten seasons...

Based on pictures alone I'm taking Dan Ryan to win it all.

When I was grabbing them I said "either this guy flames out hard or wins" because I was thinking of first season Michael.

 

[ag-my001]

The guy on the right of Ramsay is the new men's sous-chef replacing Scott.

Scott always yells more, but it's gold whenever Andi gets involved. At least she's staying.

Using my theory of "simple, professional upkeep = good chef" which usually gets me a top-3 pick (Dana last season), my early picks are Amanda and Michael.

 

[NintendoGal]

Going to need to think about those photos for a moment to guess who will win this season. Was happy I picked right last time.

Who cares who wins though because JP is back?!

 

[TangMeng]

When I was grabbing them I said "either this guy flames out hard or wins" because I was thinking of first season Michael.

Yeah I think that's why he jumps out at me the most. Reading his signature dish is eggs Benedict makes me worry though.

 

[benjipwns]

Yeah I think that's why he jumps out at me the most. Reading his signature dish is eggs Benedict makes me worry though.

And it's totally an either-or when he presents it, "YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE EGGS BENEDICT YOU DONKEY?!?" or it's crazy good.

 

[redmetal86]

We get back Jean-Philippe but lose Scott? I'm not sure how to feel about this...

 

[adelante]

Soooo ready for another round of excruciating madness. JP being back is icing on the cake!

 

[benjipwns]

Just incase we have some new friends, here's one reason we love JP:

In 2005, Susilovic reportedly fell from the balcony of his 3rd floor apartment while trying to break in because he didn't have his keys with him. He was in a coma for several days, and suffered a broken back. Susilovic made a full recovery, and is currently still working with Chef Ramsay.

 

[Purkake4]

We really need a repeat of undercover Ramsey in the first episode, that was epic.

 

[Blake'sGrave]

That Jon scallion guy sure likes his expensive ingredients, foie gras and truffles! Either he's one to watch or he's got ideas waaay above his station

 

[Amon37]

JP! Booyah now I'm even more hyped

 

[Grinchy]

We really need a repeat of undercover Ramsey in the first episode, that was epic.

Since he does it every single season, I'll be expecting it.



Man, I'm strangely hyped for this awful show to come back. This is one of my favorite bad shows on TV.

 

[sprsk]

New guy looks like Scott's anorexic little brother.

Also who will be the biggest train wreck this season?


Chef Ramsay will ask Ray "have you given up?" At least 3 times.

 

[RangersFan]

Michael Langdon

My pick.

 

[isny]

Calling it now. Susan, Jaqueline, or Jessica will win.

 

[hwalker84]

JP is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Killing_Joke]

JP!

None of them look like a winner, so i'll go with the cutest one.

And this chick to be the first one kicked off.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Wtf happened to Scott?

 

[DietRob]

Another manufactured drama fest that I won't be able to keep myself from watching.

I hate myself sometimes.

my pick:

 

[isny]

Calling it now. Susan, Jaqueline, or Jessica will win.

JP!

None of them look like a winner, so i'll go with the cutest one.

I chose the three best looking ones for this reason alone, lol

I don't think Ramsay would go near that one you chose though. That guy always goes for the best looking ones.

 

[benjipwns]

Wtf happened to Scott?

He was opening a restaurant with a guy from Fleetwood Mac.

No, this isn't the setup to a joke.

Spoiler

But it could be.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Who was the guy that his signature dish was Biscuits and Gravy? I fucking lost it that episode.

I'll also always remember Joseph. "I ain't no bitch chef, ain't no bitch!".

 

[bigtroyjon]

Is there seriously no token 400 pound fat guy this year?

 

[effe]

someone ghetto (and maybe black) is going to make it to the top 5 despite being untalented. par for the course with this show lol

 

[Pkaz01]

last season wasnt half bad

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

WTF is Chef Scott?!!

 

[Mudkips]

Never forget.

 

[Pkaz01]

petrozza got robbed

 

[Ryaaan14]

This show has gone to shit. Lets hope Jean-Phillipe can save this train wreck.

 

[EvilDick34]

Oh MY GOD, JP IS BACK!!! Season is already golden just because he is back haha.

 

[therealminime]

I wonder how poorly this group will cook scallops and risotto.

 

[Trevelyon]

I wonder how poorly this group will cook scallops and risotto.

That and fuckin' raw Wellingtons.

 

[Deadly Joker]

"What do you call your dish?"

"Sausage Gravy over Biscuits"

 

[Red_Man]

Best guilty pleasure of all time. Here for the raw scallops, and terrible risottos.

 

[mj1108]

YES! JP IS BACK!

 

[Amon37]

Last season has a lot of people kicked from the kitchen

"and one more thing, GET OUT! "

 

[hwalker84]

Season 11 Winner.

 

[isny]

Last season has a lot of people kicked from the kitchen

"and one more thing, GET OUT! "

Why should I get out? "Because it's raaaaaw"

 

[Talon]

Parmesan-Encrusted Chicken with Herbed Orzo and Grilled Asparagus

This is in the running for lamest signature dish of all time.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Yes! And Jean-Philipe is back. I'm not going to make any guesses to the winner since they usually end up being the first person eliminated.

Wait, where is Chef Scott?

 

[Gr1mLock]

Eventhough HK has become a formulatic train wreck its still fun watching dudes like clemenza stumble around like its their first day on the planet.

 

[Giard]

I'm going with this dude. Looks like a winner.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Yes! One of the few reality shows I watch. Can't wait.

 

[Mdeezy]

Yes! Im glad Jean is back.

 

[Taborcarn]

Haha, I have to watch this now. One of the chefs has the same last name as me.
