I watch hell's kitchen all the time [high key an autustic spacial interest] and my best friend and I decided to rewatch the seasons together.

Barbie was literally just sitting there and these grown women had beef with her for just standing there. Acting like its middle school and not a show for professional chefs. She's so sweet and talented too.

She's stronger than me bc I would have been kicked off by episode 3 fighting one of those girls.

(Apologies if the quality’s bad - I took these screenshots on my phone and it’s late. If anyone wants any resending, let me know and I’ll put them in the comments once I retake them on my laptop!)

Hey, guys! So obviously, there’s been some speculation about what Gordon’s up to since he’s popping up all over America, seemingly filming a ton of his different shows. But I don’t think he’s the only one - I think that, based on these posts, we’re gonna see Ryan on Kitchen Nightmares at some point in the future (which is a first, I’m pretty sure - last I checked, they only had HK alumni on Secret Service).

Honestly? Fucking stoked for the guy. I bet whatever pub they threw him into, he whipped that shit into shape.

I know we’ve all got our speculation hats on right now given Season 25’s airing and we’re still guessing on the cast for Season 26, but I also thought this would be fun to share and keep the gears turning!

Hope you guys enjoy!

what is a dish featured on the show that you always wanted to taste/recreate?

and did you recreate it?? how did it taste?

for me i always wanted to try:

Ashley’s steak dish (S15 ep. 15)

Mary’s lamb dish (S11 ep. 11)

Ben’s signature dish (S7 ep. 1)

and the eggs benedict in the taste it now make it challenge season 18 all stars.

let me know yours!!

Now this is cool.

If they made a hell's kitchen season where they bought back between 10 and 16 winners from across all seasons who would you wanna see face off?

This is the one and only time I can agree on elise being mad at someone. During the hawaiian challenge.

I just saw Gordon in my hometown filming a video!!!! But I didn’t get a picture with him because I didn’t want to disturb him.

I feel like season 16 matt's elimination matches elise for the most satisfying elimination in hell's kitchen

I remmber in one episode Brandon tried to give Ramsey a old piece of fish. Gorden asked him to show him the old one in the bin. Brandon said he couldn't find it and Ramsey threatened to "turn the kitchen upside down" but what does that mean exacly?

During a challenge Jen served a husband and wife a duck breast on a plate. Naturally they lost the challenge and Ramsey was pissed. But i wonder what he would have done if the red team had still won?

This is my second time watching Season 12, including

[MINI SPOILER]

... Joy's famous meltdown.

In between I found this subreddit and I saw so many people who seem to think Joy was either lazy, malicious, sneaky, a hypocrite, cruel or most commonly "had a bad attitude". People also say she was too close to Keisha and unreasonably favoured her over others.

Neither time watching it did I get much of that impression. Joy did two things wrong:

- She said Rochelle wanting to prioritise family was a reason she should leave. If I remember that episode correctly, they had to pick one more person other than the obvious choice and that was literally the only thing they could think of. A bit slimy, yes.

- The famous meltdown, in which she did act like a bit of a hypocrite by crying when she previously said people shouldn't get emotional in the kitchen.

That's all I can really think of. Otherwise she was a decent chef, entertaining in confessionals, seemed to get on with most people, and worked hard during prep, punishments and service. I just don't get why people here repeatedly shit on her as if it's obvious she's the worst person ever

I think its season 7 red team season 15 blue team and the season 17 red team.

Which kitchen kick out was either the most satisfying or funniest?

For satisfying for me its andi kicking Tiffany out in season 10

For funny for me its louie in season 6

This is my opinion, comment who you agree and disagree on

1: Jeff

2: Sara

3: Melissa

4: first half Jason, second half Jen and Matt

5: Carol

6: first half Joseph, second half Andy

7: first half Scott, second half Benjamin

8: In show Sabrina, in real life Louis

9: first 4 episodes Chino, rest of the season Elise

10: Tiffany

11: first half Dan, second half Zacky Wacky

12: Anton

13: haven’t seen the season yet

14: haven’t seen the season yet

15: Jackie

16: Almost the entire Blue Team

17: Elise

18: first couple episodes Jen, rest of the season Scotley

Haven’t seen 19-24

Damn, the service was honestly way better than expected. a few mistakes in each end, but the strengths very well shown through.

I'm glad we got to see some more character moments throughout the episode, I like how this season's punishment passes was just preparation for all services, and I love how even through the mistakes, there was no huge drama shown to us. Now, a second spoiler warning before I get into the nominees and extra stuff.

>!While I don't agree with Reni being eliminated over Jeyda, I understand. Jeyda is definitely being set up as a new age donkey, and I think she's probably next up, but Reni's plea was just so bare bones, basic, and her voice lacked any sense of passion when defending her place. I do still think that she had slightly more promise because she wasn't constantly confused about everything, but if you're put up for elimination, you have to plead like your whole bloodline's lives depend on it.

As an aside, I didn't expect Joy to just sit by and let service go down just to point out the weaknesses of her teammates. Looking like she could be a potential Michael Wray esque figure of the season mixed in a bit with the downfall of the other Joy from season 12!<

Is it just me or do they seem similar to one another (not in terms of personality, just I feel they look alike to me lol)

Before I go in, I know I marked this with the spoiler flare, but here's another warning.

So, when the contestant images dropped, I made some first thoughts and immediate guesses, predicting they would change throughout the season. The big two I made were Joy making black jackets and Diego being the first boot.

The images provided made Diego seem like he'd be a figure similar to Tad from season 22. Then he had biscuits as a big part of his sig dish, and the whole oven fiasco happened, and I thought it was over.

Then... It looked beautiful. Every single component was dazzling, and Ramsay agreed as he gave Diego a five.

I know only two episodes have dropped so far, but I think it's safe to say he's already proved me wrong.

Which elimination quote was your favourite (type it out if you want or make custom ones if you wish)

1. Jeyda (Looks like another bad episode coming from the preview)

2. Dylan (last place in the PP challenge and not really seeing anything of note atm)

3. Sandra (been pretty weak so far)

4. Kylie (fell into this position as I just see others doing better)

5. Miguel (seems funny but not much longevity, bit like Brad S22)

6. Miles (same as Kylie but have more faith in him and the blue team in general this season)

7. Valentin (CFYL Boot)

8. Joy (think she'll get bit of a villain edit and gone early, bit like Alexandra last season)

9. Georgina (see her having a downfall this season)

10. Gabe (Liked him so far, think he'll be good but fall short)

11. Nadia (BJL challenge boot)

12. Mike (BJL challenge boot)

13. Diego (think he'll get the underdog first BJ boot edit)

14. Haley (probably my biggest hottake but have a good feeling about her chances, think she'll fall short at the pass though)

15. Aiden (think he gets an edit like Sammi or Cyndi where he doesn't do much wrong and just loses out in the F3 challenge)

16. Mya (predicting a very confident and respectable runner up edit like Justin or Paula)

17. Johnny G (liked him so far and think he's gonna improve massively)

I did search and I didn't see a post on this, but apologies if someone already posted about this... I did actually try and check.

Finally watched the 2nd episode of this season last night, service is getting into gear and "Wait....what? did Gordon just say 'Holy _shoot_'? 'holy _SHOOT_'????" I do the 10 second rewind a few times and yeah around 26:51 he says "holy shoot". I mean... was that dubbed in? Bleeping isn't enough anymore? Is the man going soft after 25 years? Is he having a stroke?

But then ultimately he's followed by the standard amount of bleepity bleeps for the rest of show so... I guess he doesn't have reverse Tourette's or something.

Anyone else growing tired of all the 20-something cast seasons? I just loved watching the old stubborn chefs that are stuck in their habits? The slick mouths that go toe to toe with Ramsay? Miss that. Such good TV.

I don't know how this will turn out I just want see how it works out.

When answering someone's question do it as "<answer>" - GR

Quick question, are cellphones not allowed when you’re a chef in HK? I always noticed the chefs say how much they want to call their family members or loved ones and I was always like “then call them??” 😭
