Hell's Kitchen Australia

Even if you can stomach the inclusion of One Nation co-founder David Oldfield, this show is a complete joke, and Marco should be ashamed. These people people have no business anywhere near a kitchen, and indeed there's little to witness beyond them heating up food that's already been prepared for them and watching them incompetently slapping it onto plates. I mean, come on. I realize these people are "celebrities," with no aspirations to become chefs, but compare this abomination to Celebrity MasterChef UK, and see the difference between craven parody and an assembly of people who love food and are really trying to learn something and to win. Marco should have stuck with MasterChef Australia, the best of all the cooking competition shows, and not stooped to this humiliation.

Marco, how can slump to this level? This fits in with all the 'celebrity' show genre. Pathetic. This is not cooking. It's heating prepared food and dropping it onto a plate. The program format does not lend itself to the viewers interest. I hope this is never to be repeated....ever.

As soon as I knew that Marco White was in this, I totally gave up after watching for 5 mins.

He's the worst "one liner chef" out there. Other than at it may have stood a chance with a more "normal person" to host.

Never again.

I love this show, they need to make a season 2! Marco Peirre White is an amazing chef and was the one that trained Gordon Ramsay and even made him cry! I don't miss the fact that Gordon Ramsay is not in the show as Marco Peirre White is just as good or if not better in my opinion, I really hope it comes back for another season! Marco Peirre White is the perfect chef for this show and was a really great pick out of all the chefs apart from Gordon Ramsay or Colin Fassnidge (Colin does the Kitchen Nightmares Australia which is also a favourite of mine). The last chance cook off was also a really cool thing to add to this show.

What works for the REAL Hell's Kitchen is that they are REAL chefs, with a REAL prize - and massive career exposure in the appropriate industry.

Then you have this. NOT chefs, NOT able to keep their own prize (it goes to charity), and ultimately just a self-promotion tool...... of people we know little about, and care even less.

The fact that food is prepared in advance by sous chefs takes something laughably poor and makes it truly offensive. 700k people watched the first episode. I expect that to drop by 90% by week 3, unless they re-market it as a comedy, in which case the numbers might only drop by 80%.
