Hell's Kitchen "Day 3" 6/18/07
So I'm deciding to take the initiative and start an episode 3 thread otherwise the season premiere thread is going to get way too large and noone is going to read past comments.

It's not really a major issue either way, but since I never got an answer in the other thread, I'll ask again: is there really a need to make this show a "weekly new thread" thing? It's not exactly the most popular of reality programs, and if you get down to it, there's not a lot of discussion on this show when you compare it to the Survivor or The Amazing Race threads.
Doing a search, both Season 1 and 2 of HK had a single thread per season. Like I said, not a big deal, but is there any reason to break tradition?

Why do you care? And what do you mean by "not a lot of discussion"? The first two episodes had a combined 131 posts and finished at number 20 in the ratings for the week.
I would rather a weekly Hell's Kitchen thread.

This show may not do the sheer numbers of Idol or Survivor or Race, but it's adding rabid viewers on a weekly basis.......

I, too, agree that this show needs weekly threads. It helps others to avoid spoilers since there's no real way of knowing when the episode discussion moves to the next. I hope to see Aaron get the boot this week, but I doubt the producers are going to let that happen just yet.

Regarding Jen: I guess Futurama was correct in that fine dining really is the stuff that is normally thrown out.
You don't really think Fox hires these people for their "talent," do you? The only talent they care about is fucking up on camera, taking verbal abuse and acting like a general idiot.

How does someone willing to pull food out of a trash get to stay on a show like this? I mean WTF is up with that? Not that she would do it again, but that she would think it's ok says a lot about her way of breaking under pressure. Maybe that's why they kept her. They see the potential "Dramatic breakdown" coming and that want it on camera.
It's good to see Gordon saw that the short order girl has potential. I don't think she'll make it to the end, but she has something raw in her. Hell, stick her in a proper cooking school for a few years so she can learn the essentials and who knows what she'll become.

Jen should have been gone too.
She needed to speak up and I'm glad she did. If she would have won, and then Ramsey had reviewed those tapes, that might have not been good for her.
Even if she did win, I don't know if I could ever eat at her place knowing what she did. Yes, ignorance is bliss, and there are probably worse things that happen when I go into a restaurant, but to see it, on TV nonetheless, just made me a bit queasy.
Good riddance, Joanna.

I am glad Joanna is gone. She's so friggin ghetto like. I was like WTF when the girls gang up on Julia. Why would you pick her when Ramsey complimented her a few times that day?
There's no one I like this season, but if I have to pick, I will go with Julia.

Very good episode......I was actually curious what might be Aaron's ailment after seeing him check into the hospital. I'm glad he's okay, but he should have never joined the show knowing the shit he was getting into and how the stresses could have affected his condition.
As far as I'm concerned Jen and Joanna should have been let go. Picking food out of the trash is disgusting and unacceptable as well as using rotten crab. Joanna was acting like some sort of kitchen diva and obviously she just didn't click with Ramsay...Good riddance Beotch!
There's not many people that I like right now but if I had to choose I would say Melissa and Rock are early favorites.
That was a nice little teaser for Kitchen Nightmares, I'm looking forward to seeing Gordon in the fall as well......BTW, someone here mentioned last week that BBC America was running a new season of the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares....incorrect. Every episode so far has been a re-run.
