Sierra Filucci Common Sense Media If you can handle Ramsay's rudeness and the annoying reality-show elements...the action is nail-bitingly delicious. Rated: 3/5 Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

William M Better season than the disgraceful "All stars" season prior to this and Ariel 100% deserved to win. It was very shocking to see Kevin and T get removed so early when they were both 2nd placers in their OG seasons. One of the problems I have with the season is Bret and when he mumbled the N word and didn't get punished for that Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Trafalgar L "Rookies vs. Veterans" is a solid season. The only thing that is negative about it is the ongoing drama between Trev, Scottley and Bret. Arguably, the best contestant to come out of this season is Chris Motto. It's just too bad he left the competition because of possible burnout. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Regal R 90/100 - the fact that critics gave this show 36% and cry about ramsay being "hostile" is genuinely sad and pathetic. I feel bad for them because they'll never be able to appreciate or do anything of value in life. This show is great. Almost everything Ramsay does is great. It's always funny, even though its predictable it makes for easily digestible comfort food (pun intended). I like knowing Ramsays about to rip someone a new one when they talk back. I also like his softer side which you can see in jr chef. thats how you know his "character" or persona is just that, and he's not just a rude malicious person. he's clearly just passionate about his work and a great entertainer. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 18 brings back some memorable past competitors, but most end up coming back as a big disappointment. However, the new competitors make for some good competition against the few good old competitors that survived towards the end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season Hell's Kitchen is welcoming back some of the runner-ups. They are battling some newbies. I do miss watching Ramsey gagging on food to get to the few that will go on. It's surprising to watch both groups go after each other. There was not a lot of childhood drama this year. I appreciate it. After all, they are auditioning for a Vegas position. I think this show has given us all it's got. You know what is going to happen before you see it. Time for a change of pace. Next season, if there is a next season, it must be changed around with more action and more baking, cooking, recipes ... I would like to see them truly go through the auditions to get to someone that can take on the role. Look at where the past winners are and you see that they rarely get to the coveted position.
