9/22 Season 8 Premiere *Spoilers*

[Unklescott]

So the guy who they didn't even let in the original sushi challenge gets the sushi station for tonight's service? Tell me that's not a set up.

[KeepItReal]

Oh yeah! Here comes the fun! Sushi meltdown approaching.

[Krom]

Wow. When Slimeball Vinnie walked out, I think that shot was the first time I've EVER actually seen the Busboys on this show on camera... (EDIT - again when Ramsay kicked all the guys out)

"I don't know how to cook meat"? How do you audition for this show, much less get cast. Err.. okay. I forget WHICH cooking show this is. The one which lives in the sewer.

Also, I think this is the first time I've actually spotted the process of one of the Ramsay sous chefs carrying something over to him to taste in order to make it look like he knows everything (we saw Chef Andi carrying the potatoes over to him and mouthing something like "taste this").

[Rattus]

Wow. We have a spectacularly vicious and inept group of "chefs" this year.

[Dogg]

wow

i used to think they only maybe had 1 or 2 actors, but now i think every damn thing is scripted

these people can't be real

why would you purposely cast a bunch of mentally unstable people of which 1 would ultimately *run a multimillion dollar restaurant*

Raj is like 50 years old and is insane

Sabrina seems like someone that would cut somebody for no reason

you got people with missing eyebrows and some with runaway boobies and sloppy arms

and these people are butt ugly...just saying

still damn funny though

[Quemoni]

I guess Ramsey is trying to pride himself on turning sweathogs into fine swine.

You gotta know by now this isn't true. Ever.

The "good winners" get fake titles like "senior chef" (Heather West's title at Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino) or "head chef" (Rock Harper's title at Green Valley Ranch), working under the actual Exec. Chef. So... not running the restaurant. And most don't stay past the year.

Or someone like Christina Machamer actually worked for Ramsay for longer, but never got higher than executive sous chef. Again, not running a restaurant.

One way you know this show is never all that serious about talent is the almost complete absence of Hispanic contestants (what has there been? One Hispanic contestant in all the seasons put together?). They are the backbone of most of the serious restaurants in the U.S. The people who actually cook, and who actually CAN cook.

[Quemoni]

Raj the kung fu cook was hilarious, I must say. But, it seems he may be more than unstable. Parolee perhaps?

[canadian_angel]

I don't understand why some of these guys were 'cast'. I say that every season I think they've found some of the worst 'potential' chefs out there, but this year it seems to take the cake.

[combatcutie]

Very disappointed in the cast. Horrible.

And what the h*ll happened to Jean-Philippe???
