Wanna be humiliated by Gordon Ramsay?
October 1st, 2008 by Besha Rodell in Food mediaOver the past three years, I have become so disgusted by Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” that I gave up watching it at least three seasons ago. I don’t mind Gordon Ramsay’s incessant screaming at contestants, or his foul mouth, or his disdain for his customers and viewers (I thought it was hysterical, at the end of one season, when, after a kind-of sincere monologue about how happy he was about the winner he turned to the camera and said, “Now you can all go fuck yourselves.”) What bothers me is the casting. I hate that the show deliberately casts contestants who are not up to the task, who can’t cook, and who’s main purpose is to entertain us with their abject humiliation. I feel that as a viewer, my intelligence and genuine interest in food and cooking is being insulted. Also it’s boring.
So, with that said, you wanna be on “Hell’s Kitchen”?? Here’s the press release:
FOX’s HELL’S KITCHEN is looking for top-notch Chefs, 21 and over, who are passionate about cooking and skilled at their craft.
Can YOU stand the heat?
