As far as i'm concerned Russel losing is just as sweet.

Makes up for Patrozza getting screwed over way back when.

Oh man I had forgotten about that...so disappointing. There was no reason he should have lost.

As for Russell, his statement about "blackballing" those on his team was hilarious. What a whiny douche. Nobody in their right mind would ever work for that guy.
 
Nona's team wanted her to win. Russell was a dick to everyone from the start.

It's like in Survivor when that one guy screwed every person in the game over and then expected them to hand him a million dollars.
 
Good. I hated that asshole. Especially since dude was all flash and no cash. All those threats, and when he can finally deliver on one he pussies right the fuck out. What a chump.

Naw, that's Kitchen Nightmares, where Ramsey goes to shitty restaurants and tells them they suck.

And how is Russell going to blackball anyone in his position of dishwasher? What a fucking cocksucking prick. Ball up like that on someone outside a TV show kitchen and watch your white trash ass get put in jail or knocked the fuck out.
 
I liked how Nona mentioned it was scary to go back to the dark room, and then it's Sabrina jumping out at you in the dark, yes, that's scary indeed.

Then Ramsay's "ugh they're back" after talking to Trevor on the phone. :lol

I'm somewhat upset that FOX didn't do a big commercial cliffhanger WHERE RAMSEY MIGHT SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN AND THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE for the fancy jackets. I thought that was a tradition.

I think they're saving that for next season. Or maybe a teaser that photoshops a gun in his hand with a voice over about WHO WILL MAKE IT OUT ALIIIIIIVE. Gunshot, cut to black. ON NEXT WEEK'S UNMISSABLE HELL'S KITCHEN.
 
Good to see Russell eat shit, what a fucking douche he is...

Oh and :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol at his blackballing comment, this guy is delusional!
 
My favorite Russell comment was when they were doing the challenge at the beginning of the show and when each new great chef would come up he said, "It's like cooking for Kobe, then LeBron, then Carmelo" or something like that. If you're going to make a comparison of cooking to basketball, you might want to leave cooking out of the basketball part.
 
Russell was a jerk, and I'm glad he lost. What did he expect when he almost started a physical altercation with one of the teammates he chose?

Also, his ducktail haircut was annoying. I'm glad the final minutes on the show lingered on his bittnerness and ill will.
 
Why even pretend to offer them jobs at quality restaurants when you have picked the worst chefs in the history of the universe? Who would watch these morons on the show and then willingly eat their food? The worst contestant on Top Chef could beat all these losers.

They're actually killing the show by making it all about the drama (the previews, dramatic cuts to commercial mid-sentence, meltdowns in the kitchen because the chefs are awful, etc.) rather than about the food. Although I guess that makes sense when viewers are watching some diner cook make Ramsey's scallops/risotto/wellington for the 12 millionth time...

This show needs a serious overhaul.
 
To be fair, they've never outside the show itself pretended these people would get real jobs. The first season winner alone rejected both of the options. I mean, only one of them has ever made it to Iron Chef, and that's not exactly the most elite stage.

I do agree though that it'd be great if the show did something of a Top Chef Masters idea where they brought in higher level chefs and made them work the line and "try to survive" but I don't think anyone else wants that. (Hell, I wouldn't even mind bringing back people like Ralph and Petrozza for an "All-Stars" type season.)

They want to bring a thousand people to casting, pick 15-20 of them or whatever, and see what happens. It's successful, it's cheap and that's why they keep doing it.

All of that said, I have to disagree with you so much about the previews and dramatic cuts, these are more than essential. If FOX and Ramsay cannot troll us with this editing then America itself is doomed. We have a god given right for whoever it is at FOX to take whatever happens in the episode and chop it up until the world itself seems like it is ending in the preview.

Why do you hate America?

Why?

Nah, the show has always been all about the TV drama, and it's self-aware about that. I think the audience understands it.

I'm pretty sure the show is relatively cheap to produce also so they can keep churning them out. They've cut out the "winners design their own dining room" segment and compacted the show down to a half-season/2 hour blocks. But it hasn't really affected ratings.

If people want to see real cooking they know where to go. MasterChef was decent middle ground though. Looking forward to another season of that.

Exactly. Everyone knows they suck, we're just here for the drama and the rants.

Drama to Skill Scale:

Hell's Kitchen
Next Food Network Star
Master Chef
Chopped
Iron Chef
Top Chef
 
I feel so sorry for Russell's girlfriend. She's on the show in episodes where he tries to pick up women and talks about hookers :lol

Feel sorry for everyone involved in Russell's life. Including Russell.

I guess these shows are engineered by psychologists to include a volatile mix. Russell seems to be particularly inclined toward confrontation, ego aggrandizement, and poor sportsmanship.

I was really enjoying top chef masters, because it had absolutely no drama. All the contestents seem to be happy to be there, and get along great. So put that at the bottom of your list.
 
Just had to add my voice to the chorus:

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

So sorry, Russell. But maybe there's someone you can "beat down" or "put through a wall" after all this.
 
Kitchen Nightmares is the more surprising one, just because of the HUGE difference between the US and UK version as far as drama goes. There's drama in the UK show but it's more an obstacle for Gordon to overcome in making the place a success than the focus of the show like the US version.

I dislike in the American one how they just throw new kitchen equipment and remodel for them. There was one episode in the british kitchen nightmares where ramsey makes the cook/owner sell his car to fix up his kitchen. That was great.
 
Wow, watching this right now and Russell is being a bitch to his teammates :lol
This is so awful. He's selfish and can't work with a team. How does he expect to run a kitchen if he shits on everyone he works with?
 
I honestly didn't care who won as long as Russel lost.

If it weren't for that shitty "One Man One Woman in the final" unwritten rule, I'm sure he wouldnt even have made it to the final 2.

I wish I was working in his kitchen for one day. See how bad he really is.
