This is not a creative cooking contest. It's not supposed to be. If you want a show where the chefs get to display their culinary ingenuity, hit up Top Chef or Iron Chef, etc. That being said, this is a great show if you take it as is: it's about people getting yelled at by Chef Ramsay for not working and cooking his way. The chefs are not there show that they have their own style of doing things, but to prove they can survive the stress of working in one of Ramsay's kitchens.

I'm a fan of both Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen. When I want to see innovative new dishes and salivate over the deliciousness on the TV screen, I watch Top Chef. When I want to watch people get yelled at (and live vicariously through Chef Ramsay because who wouldn't want to get paid to yell at people for doing dumb things? C'mon, admit it, there are people you work with who you'd love to yell at...), I watch Hell's Kitchen.

Enjoy it for what it is. Don't bash it for not being something else.

Some seasons are good some are bad. I love chef, I just don't love some of the contestants. A little too much sexism for my taste within the contestants but really a guilty pleasure for me.

What is it about watching others cop it and suffer, and enjoying every moment of it? What is it about human behavior enjoying other humans in difficult and miserable positions suffering?

What is it about taking enjoyment from watching others fall and suffer and fail and having a laugh at it like a king from a high seat ordering the death of his jester because he failed to entertain him and instead deriving pleasure from seeing the fear and panic on the face of the jester once you given him the death sentence because he failed to entertain you any other way

This is hell kitchen, the feel good show from other peoples sufferings and misery and pain.

We are evil people, truly we are evil at heart may God help us all

I've seen too many contestants touch their hair, faces, clothing etc. and then immediately begin touching and cooking food.... And the sweat! It makes me wonder if I ever want to go to any restaurant again...

As a rule I am not a fan of reality TV. What makes this show go with me is Gordon Ramsey. He is very very good at his role on this.

Where do they get these contestants? I don't think any of the ones on the latest installment should win anything. I'd think there must be better people than this show comes up with.

The best on the show usually gets tossed & some of the worst I could do more around the kitchen than these losers & it has been 30 years since I was a hospital short order cook!

We have princesses who want run a place but have no ambition to do any labor themselves. We have ego maniacs who think they are the world when I can't even understand why they even qualify to collect garbage. I am Glad when Ramsey lashes into them.

At least when Ramsey gets rid of some these losers, he doesn't always say "this is a tough decision." That is because sometimes it is a no Briney.

Still, I do find enjoyment in watching Ramsey go through these paring them down to find a winner. Wish they can find him better candidates in future seasons.

"Get out of Hell's Kitchen!" If you don't like that concept, then go cook for yourself. I may not have cooked for many years, but I never took food out of the garbage.

I hadn't seen the show since the beginning. For me, they've always had professional chefs & cooks competing. Watching season 1, I see that it didn't start out that way. They had a mix of home cooks & very few pros. Then he throws them into a restaurant kitchen to disastrous results.

This probably gave Chef Ramsey the idea to start Master Chef, a competition for home cooks, and made Hell's Kitchen a competition for pros.

What's been already said here pretty much wraps it up, but i wanted to throw in my own two cents for Ramsay. I'm not sure which episodes of which seasons i was watching, but i saw about four, and i wanted to post this simply in defense of "chef." He's really not being such a jerk. Anyone who has had any experience in food AT ALL should be downright shocked that a single one of the contestants considers themselves anywhere remotely near competent. If I'm not mistaken, every one of the contestants has worked in a restaurant or graduated from a cooking school. I'm dumbfounded. These people are absolute, unequivocal, idiots, and the true pleasure of this show (and yes, true pleasure can be found) is in watching them make complete fools of themselves. Ramsay entered into a bad deal when he signed this contract. The prospect of one of these dolts running the restaurant of a serious chef has got to be a painful one for him even if he's making boatloads of cash off of it. He has every reason to yell his head off.

This show is not it. The part that makes it awful to watch are the contestants, where do you find some of these horrible foul-mouthed people. I couldn't keep watching it after a few seasons because of the hatred towards each other and other "chefs" not even on the show.

My go to for Gordon are Kitchen Nightmares, Master Chef, and Master Chef Junior. I get to experience my love of Gordon without so much of the arrogance. Yes there will always be some people with that attitude no matter what cooking show you watch, but this one really seemed to take the worst of the worst. I didn't even feel like they really loved the food, loved what they are doing, they just wanted to be on TV & be nasty.

The first few seasons were engaging and even worthy of binge watching. Then the show nosedived in season 9. Tried to watch season 10 but the constant edits make me dizzy.

It´s as if they hired the dumbest producers and editors they could find starting in season 9. If these people were contestants on the show, they'd be making dishes with 90% salt and hot peppers and 10% actual food.

I thought the show might make a good drinking game, but you'd be falling over even two minutes in. This was the idea: take a swig every time you see or hear:

• edits after less than 3 seconds (two swigs if less than two seconds)
• strobe lights
• dizzying camera pans or zooms
• obviously coached, overacted reaction shots
• commentaries that look like they're being read off cue cards
• loud kettle drums or explosions
• music louder than the person talking

And as a bonus, finish your glass if a quiet, talented person is sent home.

It´s too bad they ruined the show like this. I was enjoying watching it as a guilty pleasure during my workouts.

Let's start of with this. This show has a script. Ramsey ain't that angry all the time in real life. If you watch his other show, where he travel around the world to get a culinary experience from different cultures, he is really humble and nice.

The guests that comes to hell's kitchen are all invited and know very well that they might not get served.

And i would guess that the chefs follow a scrips as well. No people can be this stupid. First three episodes there are only chaos in the kitchen. And all these are supposed real chefs. So in my mind they should be able to work with other people in the kitchen. It always takes them a few days to choose a head chef in the kitchen and even then they bi*ch around. in real life, any one would take control if he/she notice this ain't working. But here no they continue to fail, to the last episodes. They follow a script! (This and that you cant do in the beginning. And shout at each other, it creates views!)

This is guilty pleasure to watch, far from a really good show. But it does what it is supposed to do.

I just started watching this late at night. I usually really enjoy cooking shows and contests, like "Top Chef" where there is silly drama, but we see the creations and processes of coming up with and preparing a dish.

This show has none of that, as it is all about the (melo)drama and not the cooking. If you watch one competition until the end when one chef is the winner, you've seen all of the seasons. We see no cooking skills, just the unbelievable repetitiveness of Beef Wellington, halibut, scallops, risotto, lamb and a few other dishes.

We get increasingly ridiculous and mean-spirited "challanges" and punishments that also have nothing to do with cooking, i.e. Shoveling out horse stalls? Really? We watch a bunch of grown people bitching, snarking and throwing tantrums like children, most of which is no doubt scripted. In between that, we have Ramsay's "All of you, get over here! Get out! Oh, come on! IT'S RAW!!" and screaming bleeped curses over and over and over...

I have no idea how this show lasted so long.

Two teams compete for an ultimate prize, but this isn't "Survivor" or "The Apprentice".

The prize is a restaurant for the winner to operate. And Chef Ramsay isn't a mere host like Jeff Probst, nor a hands-off boss like Donald Trump. He's with the contestants all evening, as they attempt to operate their restaurant, "Hell's Kitchen". He serves as the order co-coordinator, with final say on whether dishes are presentable. And if one dish in an order isn't acceptable, back the whole order goes. He grating and foul-mouthed, and almost brings the contestants to tears. He's more drill instructor than chef at times, berating those who aren't performing well. Customers aren't immune to Ramsay's temper; he'll yell and curse at patrons who dare to "speak to the chef".

You feel so bad for those getting the brunt of Ramsay's wrath; you want to look away, but you can't. It's an interesting twist to the elimination-style "reality" show.

I don't think the show is supposed to be a comedy but each and every episode will have you bursting out laughing. The basis of the show is chefs compete to win a job as head chef at one of Gordon Ramsay's famous restaurants with a hefty salary. Week by week 2 teams are tested with various challenges/dinner services. Losing team has 1 person eliminated each week. Last 2 people compete and Gordon Ramsay selects a winner. I absolutely love this show and you will get hooked on it. I've watched every single season and loved every one. Every season has new contestants so you see some strange and funny characters. Definitely check this show out. It's not your typical cooking show lol. It's a hardcore roasting session for 45 mins a pop. Watch this you won't regret it. Watch this you'll get hooked. IT'S RAW!!!!!! WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE?! Show should win an award for best comedy honestly.

Gordon Ramsey had done many different shows and concepts on television. This show is his best, even though the quality dropped the latest seasons. Typical Ramsey, good food, a fun concept and only sometimes a bit too harsh. Definitly a watchable show, but of course not a very differentiated or conceptually complex one.

I love this show! I have only seen it a few times but I would give it 8 stars cos it was entertaining, was to do with food and actually gave me some cooking lessons.I can see why people dislike Rasmay and if you don't like it just turn the channel.I have to give it 10 lines as a decent review so here it comes Rasmay may swear more than he uses non profane words but he likes to be tough and get the kitchen into the right order.Usually when this show is on there's something on but I watch it during the ad breaks.Rasmay may be hard to please such with quotes as " ITS NON STICK!" slandered at the contestants but he is trying to teach the contestants the right way to make their customers happy.I must admit that this is really funny.If you like a lot of profanity,Gordon Rasmay and food you MUST see this show

I don't understand why people like this show. It is no different from last year. The show is the Chef screaming. Also intimidates everyone that crossed his path. You just do not learn anything. The contestants learn nothing to do with cooking. Running a kitchen maybe, growing very thick skin yes, but cooking No. I know I would not last. I would have already taken a frying pan and knocked Chef Ramsey out. There is no dynamics between any of the contestants. This show needs a good grease fire. Let it burn. OK now I need 10 lines. Besides the food network, if your looking for a good reality cooking show I highly recommend Top Chef.That show is entertaining and they also learn something about cooking.

Gordon never should have rejected Chad Gibbs on the show like that. And stealing his future recipe for those delicious burgers and fries at all of Gordon's restaurants is so cruel. But, Chad Gibbs is back and better than ever. He his here and has learned from his past. We all know who the real chef is here Gordon.

There is a formula for this show. Pick a group of delusional people who believe they are great chefs, yet lack basic knowledge, such as being able to cook a steak. The greater the levels of hubris and arrogance the better. Because we are in the business of crushing dreams. The further they have to fall the better, our wax winged Icaruses. Add a volatile perfectionist with anger issues. Set the contestants some cooking task, at which most will not succeed. Stand back as each failure ignites the blue touchpaper and sends our perfectionist into an incandescent rage. Admire the Michelin starred fireworks as a tirade of invective humiliates our hapless victim... erm... contestant. Repeat ad nauseam.

I suppose the appeal of the show is the Schadenfreude one feels at watching someone crash and burn, sometimes quite literally as this is a cooking programme. One can but marvel at the remarkable nominative determinism of that shouty force of nature, Gordon Ramsay, his emphatic verbal aggression, not so far removed from the charge of a testosterone maddened ram in rutting season. While that feeling might be enjoyed as a guilty pleasure, it is not an aspect of my character that I would seek to cultivate.

Not necessarily a culinary star, the culinary level in HK is too low for that, but the contestant Mary Lou is destined to be a reality/cooking TV star, because her personality is charming, intelligent, funny and infectious..... a rare gem.

I have found my love for HK again because of her, with several LOLs along the way.

All in all, the casting for season 19 was better than seen in a long time, both in terms of less contentious personalities, and in terms of better cooking talent.

The casting director deserves a raise.

Not a cooking show, just another reality show with people behaving badly - a lot of drama for its own sake. If you like adults having tantrums like spoiled two year olds, go for it. Not my cup of tea, in fact, I quite hated it and couldn't even watch one complete episode.
