No Jean-Philippe again this season.

Get ready for the heat of HELL’S KITCHEN as superstar chef Gordon Ramsay ushers in the series’ red-hot ninth season with 18 new competitors Monday, July 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. These aspiring restaurateurs will brave Ramsay and his wrath as he once again puts the competitors through rigorous challenges to see who has the skill and passion to win a life-changing prize: a head chef position at BLT Steak in New York City.

In the season premiere, Ramsay launches the competition with the signature-dish challenge and is both impressed and disappointed right from the start. Before the dinner service can even begin, one contestant is rushed to the hospital and things go downhill quickly from there until one chef is eliminated from HELL’S KITCHEN.

Winner from last season:

 

[Ryaaan14]

Calling it.

Spoiler

First eliminated probably.

 

[Poyunch]

Would.

 

[Gaborn]

I think this guy will win even though he does look like Frankenstein. (seriously, look at his head)

 

[Tornado Condor]

Would.

those + the girl with glasses

 

[alex chilton]

they all look so MEAn!

 

[Broder Salsa]

This guy is going to win, just saying now.

 

[adelante]

He looks like the kinda guy that'll totally screw up the first signature dish challenge, based on his 'stache alone =p

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I just hope none of these guys are gigantic jackasses like Russell was last season.

 

[Zombie James]

Men vs. Women again? I'm hating this season already.

 

[Threi]

yessssssssss finally a reason to turn the TV on again


gunna second moustache dude


hopefully this group of contestants are better than the last

Spoiler

excluding Gail of course <3

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Men vs. Women again? I'm hating this season already.

It's almost always men vs women. And god I can't wait. I love this show. One of the very very few "Reality" TV shows I watch.

 

[Broder Salsa]

God didn't see until now that this guy had a tattoo on his fucking forehead, he looks like some guy from a terrible metalcore band.

He looks like the kinda guy that'll totally screw up the first signature dish challenge, based on his 'stache alone =p

He looks like what I would imagine that kid Glen, from mad men looking when he grows up.

 

[benjipwns]

Added names and info to OP.

 

[nubbe]

50% of the girls are nice. Usually it is only one or two.

Best season ever

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Men vs. Women again? I'm hating this season already.

Most of the time it is. Shouldn't be surprising at this point.

Also, I feel like stache guy won't last long.

 

[benjipwns]

I believe it has been Men vs. Women every season but the first.

Apparently there's no Jean-Philippe this season again.

 

[Big Chungus]

Isn't that the youngest kid from Home Improvement?

 

[Lamel]

That last season was SO HORRIBLE. The chefs absolutely sucked and no one deserved to win. So I don't have any faith in these guys either. It just makes for entertainment, not real talent.

 

[benjipwns]

Which is why they don't give them a real job: http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/chef_surprise_what_really_at_steak_D1EylWBXQKNl3tArHtnaQI

They'll be working under Cliff from season two of Top Chef.

Thank god, because they would drive the restaurant to the ground.

But seriously, anyone who saw the last season will agree how terrible the people were.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I believe it has been Men vs. Women every season but the first.

Damn I wonder what happened. He wasn't on last season either.

 

[benjipwns]

He's been relaunching one of Ramsay's restaurants so he didn't have time to do the filming for these seasons.

He may be back for season ten.

Well, it's not bad to win a job in this economy

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

Damn I wonder what happened. He wasn't on last season either.

I believe he is helping with the opening Chef Ramsey's other restaurant. That's the last thing I heard.

I was hoping to see him though, but at least Chef Scott will be there.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

He's been relaunching one of Ramsay's restaurants so he didn't have time to do the filming for these seasons.

Well that sucks. He makes it interesting when he gets into it with one of the guys. It never fails. Every season he gets into it with one of the guys who's being a dumbass.

 

[Fusebox]

Is this gonna be on Hulu?

 

[benjipwns]

Is this gonna be on Hulu?

I don't think so, Hulu is still talking about season seven episodes. Did they have season eight?

 

[Gr1mLock]

Im officially giving moustache the unofficial nickname of "dirty stache".

 

[xbhaskarx]

Whatever happened with that one winner who didn't get the job he or she was promised?

 

[Meadows]

The editing on this show makes it unwatchable

 

[Poyunch]

Whatever happened with that one winner who didn't get the job he or she was promised?

The donkey?

 

[Vilam]

God I love me some Hell's Kitchen. Can't wait!

 

[benjipwns]

Holli from season seven, they gave her cash instead.

 

[DonMigs85]

Holli from season seven, they gave her cash instead.

Ah, the one who kinda resembles Cameron Diaz

 

[benjipwns]

She may be better remembered for something else found on post #13 or #31 of last seasons thread.

 

[nubbe]

Dude, that is too racy for GoogleGaf

 

[Pkaz01]

His name is Chino Chang?

I am sorry but wow that is too much.

 

[Poyunch]

His name is Chino Chang?

I am sorry but wow that is too much.

But his signature dish is Korean BBQ. I can't hate a man that makes good Korean BBQ.

 

[Red_Man]

Calling this girl winning just because there hasn't been a hot person win the show in a while, and no JP makes me a sad panda

 

[rakhir]

This one is the best, winner calling!

Spoiler

though most probably will be annoying as hell and won't win

 

[benjipwns]

God didn't see until now that this guy had a tattoo on his fucking forehead, he looks like some guy from a terrible metalcore band.

At least he's somewhat hiding it instead of going bald: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/forehead-tattoo/vulgar-forehead-tattoo-065897

 

[Purkake4]

Ready for epic trolling, awesome previews and complete failure at cooking. Haters to the left etc.

 

[Einbroch]

So excited for this.

It's so stupid, but so awesome. More meltdowns, more drama, more crappy cooks.

 

[Feature]

would!

Spoiler

except the obese chicks and the dudes

 

[IsayFever]

Too hot to lose.

 

[nubbe]

Too hot to lose.

How could a restaurant consultant lose? srsly?

 

[Feature]

can't wait for Ramsey to make fun of that moron with tattoos on his freaking forehead...

 

[Pkaz01]

But his signature dish is Korean BBQ. I can't hate a man that makes good Korean BBQ.

and he is an executive chef.. might be one to watch out for
