Hell's Kitchen: Season Finale
(S02E10) I think there should be a new rule imposed in the land of reality TV: no more two hour season finales! Seriously, they're sooooo annoying and tedious, because they just rehash everything that has happened and contain all the same predictable twists and turns that we see in other seasons (or, in some cases, other shows). Of course, maybe we could have knocked the season finale of Hell's Kitchen down to about 90 minutes if they just took out the trivial asides and the damn 11 minute opening summary of every single episode from this season. I mean, if you watch the show, you already know everything that happened. I doubt someone is going to tune into the show 10 episodes in and say "hey, I wonder who will win Hell's Kitchen?"
And then, in the second hour, they have a recap of what happened in the first hour! Gah. But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's down to Heather and Virginia...
Hell's Kitchen: Episode 8
(S02E08) So there are four chefs left. And this has sort of turned into The Wizard of Oz: Keith needs a brain, Sara needs a heart, Virginia needs courage, and Heather...well, the comparison ends there I guess, because I can't think of something for her. Maybe she wants to find her way back home, I don't know. Sorry, lost the joke there somewhere.
The four chefs get their own restaurant in the first challenge...but it's not what they think.
Hell's Kitchen and So You Think You Can Dance coming back
The two FOX reality shows have had such a jump in viewers this season that the network has already announced that the shows will come back for a third season.
I don't watch So You Think You Can Dance (please, please, don't make me), but I'm happy to see Hell's Kitchen renewed. I just hope that next season the producers actually pick people who I want to root for. Sure, it's fine and fun to have villains, maybe even a goofball or two to get voted off quickly. But it's very frustrating to have an entire cast made of up people you can't root for.
Hell's Kitchen: Episode 7
(S02E07) "I suck, suck, suck." - Virginia
Yes, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus, at least not one that can save you from the horrible job you've been doing lately. Sara tries to "console" her, then rips into her to the cameras later. If this was a soap opera, Sara would be the conniving, backstabbing girl who pretends to be the "best friend" of the good girl, and then tries to seduce her boyfriend behind her back and fake a pregancy or amnesia.
We're down to five, Chef Ramsay gives them black and white uniforms. There are no more teams, everyone is out for themselves.
Hell's Kitchen: Episode 6
(S02E06) I'm typing this between 9 and 10 at night, and it's still in the upper 80s and unbearably humid. So, really, the last show I want to watch is something where people in long sleeves and pants are running around a hot kitchen, sweating, cooking hot food under pressure. Makes me feel even worse, as I search for even a hint of a breeze outside my apartment window. Ugh.The women's team is hurting (Rachel was voted out last week), and the blue team is gloating that they are going to mop up the floor with them.
Hell's Kitchen: Episode 5
(S02E05) It's really bizarre how the contestants are acting on this show this season. Tonight, Maribel calls the food on the table "appetizer like thingies." Yeah, THINGIES. Virginia makes fun of Ramsay's accent after he fools the teams with a bunch of appetizers that are really foods like hot dogs and cheese whiz. Keith calls the crushed up hot dogs "slammin," whatever the hell that means. Sara...my God, she just might be pure evil. I don't care if "reality shows" always distort a player's personality, no one should act the way she's does.
%$*&@# Gordon Ramsay is honored by the queen!
Hell's Kitchen host and chef Gordon Ramsay got an OBE (Order of the British Empire) yesterday in Scotland.
Don't worry, he actually wore a suit and tie and didn't swear at the Queen even once. The article above also says that he hosts a show on Channel 4 titled The F Word. Anyone know what that is?
By the way, Hell's Kitchen is doing rather well in the ratings this summer for FOX, consistently placing in the top 20 shows of the week.

Hell's Kitchen: Episode 3
(S02E03) If I'm ever picked to be on a reality show (in a bizarre world where I would actually want to do such a thing), I'd have to get my opening credits look down cold. I don't know what I'd pick to do, maybe just a quick turn like Jack Lord used to do on Hawaii Five-0, or maybe just a calm smile. But the contestants on this show...what exactly did the director/cameraman tell them to do? "OK, the camera's on you now, act like the biggest asshole in the world." Seriously, what's with all the cocky smirks and nods? Gah. It's bad enough that we have to sit through a way-too-long "previously on Hell's Kitchen" opening, every single week, but we have to see these people smirking at us in the opening credits each week?Pink Taco restaurant attracts Comedy Central shows
Pink Taco, a restaurant chain based in Las Vegas that is preparing to open a restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, is causing quite a stir. The restaurant's name comes from a menu item, but as many of you already know, it's also a derogatory term for "vagina." Or, as all the media sources I've read call it, "a part of the female anatomy." I figured I'd be more precise so no one would think "pink taco" refers to a woman's kneecaps or something. Not surprisingly, the restaurant has been contacted by both The Daily Show and Mind of Mencia for interviews, but so far they've refused, claiming they don't want the restaurant to be made a mockery. Meanwhile, the restaurant has garnered many complaints from residents who object to the name.Hell's Kitchen returning to FOX
Gordon Ramsay
will unleash more of his fury on wanna-be chefs this summer when Hell's Kitchen returns to FOX. Once again,
twelve contestants will sweat, cry and cower under the anger that is Ramsay. They'll learn all sorts of tricks of the
trade and the best executive chef will win a position at a luxury restaurant in the Red Rock Casino Resort Spa in Las
Vegas, which is not on the strip.Hell's Kitchen did pretty well for FOX last year, winning the coveted 18-49 demographic in its time slot. New episodes begin June 12. Will you watch?
Jerry Seinfeld has peanut butter sandwich named after him
Leave it to Jerry Seinfeld to get philosophical and nostalgic about
peanut butter, but that's what he did at Peanut Butter & Co., a Greenwich Village restaurant which now serves a
sandwich created by the comedian himself called the "Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedy Special." The sandwich,
which Seinfeld claims he ate a lot of while working as a young comic in the 1970s, consists of a toasted bagel, peanut
butter, honey, and cinnamon. Peanut Butter & Company's menu, naturally, revolves around peanut butter.
Seinfeld and his wife are fans of the restaurant, and Seinfeld himself wrote the forward to the Peanut Butter &
Co. Cookbook, which was written by owner Lee Zalben.TV Squad Hot Topics
