Hell's Kitchen Season 4

--- Quote from: apskip on May 28, 2008, 07:35:31 PM ---I went through all episodes from 3 to 9 on pophangover.com. The writer has the necessary twisted sense of humor, but has limited culinary knowledge. Two examples of that are not knowing what risotto is and having no appreciation for the very expensive ****e truffles on Gordon Ramsay's demonstration pizza. Granted that the usual food coming out of Hell's Kitchen does not require great culinary knowledge (steaks, fish, pasta, salad) but when something simple like risotto comes up that writer is apparently incapable of handling it. The "zap" factor in these reviews is very high, putting my Top Chef 4 recaps to shame for their significantly lower "zap". All in all, I can only recommend pophangover.com/hellskitchen for those needing a zap experience.

I don't think I need "zap" comments Apskip, I prefer your's.
I believe we see the final four, Jen and Matt won't be around. I was sorry to see Louross leave but he couldn't command respect and for that, he had to go. (Of course he did have 3 intimidating sized people on his team so it put him at a slight disadvantage.) I believe if he had been a better cook, he would have earned more respect and that really was his downfall. He couldn't rise to the level needed to stay.
I also thought Petrozza said it perfectly in this last episode, Jen thinks she knows more than she really does. (I love her comments though, she cracks me up.)
Matt lacks skills and he might have lasted merely for the drama or luckily for him the red team won and he wasn't eliminated. (Watching him sweat, ugh, I wouldn't want to eat his food!)
I really wish that I could see more performance from Petrozza, we see glimpses of what Bobby CAN do, but he really doesn't stand out. I do believe Ramsey sees possibilities with Petrozza. Last night was another test to see what he could do, making a tough decision. That's why he gave him the job of eliminating Jen or Louross.

There are funny screen caps too.
I think Corey is going to win this season. They're really pushing for her - not showing her doing anything wrong, etc. BYE BYE LOUROSS!!!

She well could be a finalist, I don't think she is qualified to run a kitchen based on what we've seen but of course it is edited for television. Just my opinion though. ;)
Welcome to RFF neoknows.

:bounce next week on Hell's Kitchen Epsiode 10
TWO TEAMS BECOME ONE AND CHEFS ARE ON THEIR OWN ON "HELL'S KITCHEN" TUESDAY, JUNE 3, ON FOX
Chef Ramsay takes the contestants to the future location of The London West Hollywood to give them inspiration as their quest to win the coveted prize continues.
When they get back to the kitchen, it's all business as two teams become one.
Each chef is given one main ingredient and must create a dish suitable to the palate of Chef Ramsay.
During dinner service, things heat up and the contestants are pushed to the limit -- one chef accidentally burns the rice, another chef burns a hand and the medic is called to the kitchen yet again!
Things continue to go downhill, and the chefs have trouble getting food out to the patrons in the "6 Chefs Compete" episode of HELL'S KITCHEN
TexasLady:
Ca, thanks for always posting the best teasers! :tup:
Another accidental burn!!! Ye Gods! The only one I can think of who tends to go bonkers from stress is Matt, I wonder if he burns himself. (This season truly HAS been Hell's Kitchen!) :ascared

...Oh dear. It's a 100% humor site, not a food critic website guys! My friends and I don't care that the writers have limited culinary knowledge, in fact, that's the beauty of 'em to me. I can relate. Not many people, including myself, want to eat a ****e truffle or care about risotto. I'm there for the laughs, not for someone's professional opinion on how tasty a mushroom is! Thankfully it's all what you call "zing" - or it would be so boring to read, especially if you've already seen the episode. Lol. To each his own.
Thanks everyone for the kind welcomes! I have to weigh in on my picks for the final 2: I think it's going to come down to COREY vs PETROZZA. I don't think Bobby has a shot in hell at winning the title.
Pophangover did bring up another interesting point about the incessant deceptive advertising from Fox and it drove me crazy. I found it insulting. Corey/Louross in the hot tub (lie!), finger in someone's food (lie!), etc. Did that bother anyone else, or do you just consider it your everyday average "plea" for ratings?
