Ramsey's challenge is to train the celebs to staff the new kitchen of an
exclusive London restaurant which will open for a period of two weeks and cater to some 70 diners a night whose number will include celebrities, members of the viewing public and food critics.

Viewers will be able to vote to decide which of them most deserves to be recognised as a celebrity chef.
If you have ITV2 turn over when the show finishes and you can see from 10pm Hell's Kitchen extra Portains.

From 11pm you can see Hell's Kitchen Live till 1 am.

This is bizarre.

I worked in a hotel kitchen for two weeks experience (and it definitely was an experience) while I was at school. Don't ask me why as I wasn't planning on working as a chef (or bottlewasher)!

I hated it.

Just like most of the celebs seem to be.

It was a bit crap, hope it gets better!

you're right...it was.
Jordan, as usual, was a waste of space.

The celebs look knackered already.... The only hope we have is James or Dwain knocking Gordon into a bag of Haggis and serving him up as the slob of the day.

I thought it was great although I refuse to watch Mark Durden-S**t and the utterly vacuous Jordan (I thought she was Katie now ) on ITV2..

I was absolutely LMAO at Angus Deayton trying to have words with Gordon at the end

Gordon : "**** **** *** ** **** * *** ** *"

Angus : "uhh please dont swear we're live on ITV"

And that was about the extent of the "conversation".

Oh and we should update the list cos Roger Cook went to hospital with a knee injury after falling off a chair last night and is no longer a contender!

There is a celeb taken Roger's place, I had to leave for work before they announced the name of the unlucky celeb on GMTV this morning.
Anyone know who the replacement is..?

..not sure, why you refer to him/her, as "unlucky".

...it's safe to assume, that there are scores, of desperate, washed-up
z-list personalities, who are hastling their agents, and willing to chew off, an arm, to get on a prime-time Reality show, and the consequent exposure, it affords them.

More than 7 million viewers tucked into ITV's new Gordon Ramsay-fronted reality show Hell's Kitchen last night, as the reality TV bandwagon shows little sign of running out of steam.
The show, which features 10 famous faces being whipped into shape by Ramsay in typically forthright fashion before cooking live every night for an invited crowd of guests, proved an early hit for ITV, easily beating the competition and reaching a peak of 7.4 million viewers.

Poor Amanda Barrie. Someone throw her an axe, I'm sure she would stick it in Gordon Ramsay's head.

I missed it tonight cos we watched Murpheys Law on BBC

Who is the new celeb taking Roger's place?

I don't know cos I only started watching it today. Whoever that young bossy boy is, he's worse than Gordon.
Felt sorry for Amanda, but she does come accross as a bit of a simpleton at times! Especially at the end, she was just bobbing around like a woodentop.

It's Tommy Vance

Really? hahaha

Thanks SL

Is it me, or is it just a dozen desperado's running around, in a blind panic, being shouted at? (not without cause). You don't actually see anything happening - nothing stands still for long enough, it's like a piece of film has been speeded up.
I keep expecting the Benny Hill girl-chasing music, to cut in.
