Has anyone been watching Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen as of late? **Please note for those people out there who have not been watching it, and have been recording it on their DVR, there will be spoilers after the bump. This is your only warning. DO NOT read after the bump if you do not wish to be spoiled.

Before I post any spoilers though, has anyone noticed that the quality of the chefs have plummeted? I mean Seriously. It seems more like the producers said, “let’s choose the most dramatic and loser-ific people who would be perfect for any reality show and put them on there. It just so happens that they know how to cook.” I would Really like to know exactly how they determine who shows up on the show, because I surely would not have chosen half of these people. And honestly, I don’t think Gordon Ramsay would ever choose any of them himself.

I swear it’s no longer quality but rather it’s for ratings. Oddly enough, however, I keep watching it. Funny how that works. But honestly I might have to shelf this show and forget about it. It’s getting ridiculous.

Now, does anyone feel that Ben is just an asshole? Seriously. He’s pretty much high and mighty, and looks down on the rest of his team. Honestly, if he was a good leader, he’d spend more time helping them improve as a team than telling them everything they’re doing wrong. He needs to go. His cooking is judgment is flaky at best. I don’t think he deserves to win. Ever.

Autumn. Oh my lord. I think she has a great chance of winning only because I don’t want her to. Her cooking is questionable as well. Actually I don’t think a lot of them has any Really good cooking skills except for a couple of them. At least consistently good. But I digress. Autumn better not win. She is another that needs to go.

Ed is another questionable one. He seems to be on and off. I think of him as a chef who has made it this far because there have been weaker chefs than him. I don’t think he’ll last much longer. I think Gordon is getting tired of him anyways.

Jason. Ok, he’s Really good. Sometimes I don’t Really like his attitude, but I think he has a Really good chance of winning. I don’t have to like all the good contestants. There is no question he knows how to cook. I think with him it’s whether or not he can actually perform and deliver it. We’ll see if and when he has to actually run the kitchen.

Jay is definitely one of the stronger chefs. I think he has a good chance of winning. I don’t question if he can cook or not, or his leadership skills. I think if he doesn’t choke, he’ll run the kitchen just fine. As long as he doesn’t choke. I think it’s a good chance he will.

Holli seems like she’s gotten by because she’s pretty. But I don’t think so. She’s consistently been a good chef, and she knows how to cook well. She puts out good dishes and on this last episode, she ruled the dessert course of the challenge. However, that was only the desserts. How will she perform for the rest of the meal? And will she be able to run the kitchen well? She may very well surprise us.

In my opinion, the last 4 chefs in this competition as I see it right now would be Jason, Jay, Holli, and Autumn. I’m questionable about autumn actually. Well if it came down to the last two, I’d choose Holli vs Jay. I think those 2 are the strongest competitors in the competition.

We can only see how it will turn out. What are your picks for the final two?
