brenda - I feel the same about Ramsey. I much prefer his shows on BBC. You can tell he has knowledge and wants to help other people develop their skills. But on Hell's Kitchen he just comes across as a foul mouthed arse.
I think it was on an episode of the F Word...he spent some time in the kitchen of a din sum restaurant and tried to learn how to wrap the dumplings. He was very respectful of the head chef even when his dumplings were rejected.
I know that Ramsey can be - and often is - absolutely charming when he's not in the middle of this competition. I've seen segments where he'll take a bunch of contestants out to a meal or something (after they've won a challenge) and he's very nice. I imagine that he's pushed to be extra-nasty in the kitchen during the competition because (1) drama and (2) to make sure anyone who gets through can work under fire. But he seems to have gone over the top this season - I don't know if I'll stick with it much more.
And, Vortex, I think I know who you're talking about and he was cute.
Rock Harper. But then, I found out that he was married. Boo!
Yes, I remember seeing him with his wife when he won. But ... a little conversation and flirting is allowed.
he was kind of arrogant his season, but yummy.
Seriously, smonster, I'm not sure I can love you any more now. WHO CAN RESIST THE CAT?
I came in on the end of the second season! I don't know! It didn't last!
The first thing I ever saw of Gordon Ramsey was an F word that he did with guest star of his mom. It was very sweet and disarming and I was all, why do people hate this sweet man who loves his mom? Hee.
SYTYCD: I am happy with the top 11 we got although I agree that they should have evened it out with the girls. I hate seeing so much contempo. (Jose is hiphop, though, so there is one.) And if you`re going to cast on genre, the tapper is not the one to do it for. I`m glad Alexie made it for the girls. I like all the boys but am so disappointed about Anthony.
It would be smart to study a secondary style and audition as that, which annoys me. I wonder how this format will play for the elims, especially since I think we have a much stronger male field than female. I guess you won`t have to eliminate evenly, and there won`t be the bad partner dragging someone down element.
OMG Pasha!
I am too busy looking at some of the all-stars in most of these routines.
I guess they're showcasing styles separately (?) but it seems weird that some of the new dancers are paired up and some are getting "solos".
I love Cat's dress. On *her* I should say, because I think I would look like ass in it, but man, those legs. Jesus.
Peanut is love. That is all.
