Hell's Kitchen used to be a fun guilty pleasure for me. But, I lost interest several seasons ago when the concept got super stale and redundant.
Not really sure if anyone has time to check this out, but I figured I would post this just in case. It is an all-star edition. I may check it out again time permitting, but there is a lot of shows on Friday now.

Local chef was on the local Fox station this morning. He was on S5 and got a call for this all-star season. Only thing he mentioned was he tried to be more level-headed than his younger self was.

It'll be interesting to see if they do anything different this season. I'd love to see them play it somewhat straight, but I assume production sabotages them a good bit of the time.

I'm excited for this. Some people I remember, some I don't. Some people I remember hating, some I remember thinking they should win.
May be just what the show needs after the last few seasons. I'm in.

"Hell's Kitchen" Seasons 4-6 are now on Amazon Prime. The credits are in French, but the episodes are uncensored. How different the show was back then... ok, it was exactly the same, but...

Michelle,
Just lower your voice a few notes when you speak to your staff. Young girls and a lot of women speak in notes that are too high. You don’t have to be a baritone, just not high. If your voice climbs, take a slow deep breath and then speak. (Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth; try counts of six or even eight to create calm.)
Don’t repeat yourself in the kitchen. Confident people say it once—while they’re looking at who they’re speaking to, preferably in the eyes. And it shows confidence in others.
You deserve to win. I hope someone in your camp sees this and tells you.

Not a lot of discussion about this season (obviously). Though it fits comfortably within the repetitive mold the show has crafted for itself over the years it has actually been a fairly entertaining season. Probably has something to do with the cast not being complete charicatures since they are all returnees.

I kind of wonder how "the prize" will play out, since almost no one ever gets the prize/position they offer. I also wonder if a "Hell's Kitchen" branded restaurant will be something of a "Theme" restaurant, where there'll have to be shows of hostility in the kitchen and all that. They've made a point in recent seasons of showing the diners actually listening to and being entertained by the tumult going on.

This may have been explained at some point but is the Restaurant something set up only for the show and are the Diners invited somehow or can local folks actually make reservations??

The restaurant is simulated on a sound stage. Most of the diners are invited, though I believe it used to (and may still) be possible to get in on a limited number of tickets available to the public in a similar manner to how productions select an audience for a typical studio show - by applying through a website or emailing requests to production.
