地狱厨房

在家里宅好无聊，考古一下老节目XD

Ralph：蓝队扛把子之一。性格外向，声音洪亮，有着发亮的双眼和憨憨的笑容，是一个亲和力和领导能力强的chef。感觉在蓝队是一个老父亲的存在，和队友关系都很好，在confession video里面常衷心地欣赏每个队友，所以对他最有好感了。Gordon表示像他这样的助手能让主厨非常地安心。唯一缺点可能是太过于有主见以至于不够关心别人，有时候讨论菜单选食物的时候会忽略队友的意见，影响团队凝聚力。

Michael：蓝队扛把子之二，后来因为蓝队太强了被调去carry红队。外表很阴险凶悍，但其实是个温柔且很有艺术感的男人，虽然一副非主流混混的扮相，但眼神非常纯粹，还把厨师纹在自己的手指上。实力强得连Gordon都没有骂过他，频繁带领小组赢得challenge然后出去享受奖励。和Ralph是对手也是朋友，两个人后来不在一队，但剪辑经常放他关心Ralph和其他队友的一些小动作，和大家关系都不错。不过也会狂被大家吐槽是心机婊，经常使用小技巧占据优势，例如摆盘搞一个HK logo取悦Gordon、把同队的威胁人物Chris弄出局、故意少放食材让Ralph做主厨出错等等。最后决赛能看出他在餐厅设计和菜品处理更有个人特色，所以能够险胜Ralph。

Andrew：蓝队。最年轻（？）成长最明显的选手，一开始很欠揍，嘴贱疯狂得罪人，完全就是一个火爆臭弟弟的形象。后来被Ralph教育了一顿之后决心闭嘴，对团队有了明显的贡献。决赛手受伤了，也想着赶回去帮队友打比赛，很讲义气。个性刚但肯改变自己追求进步，小伙子有前途。

Jessica：越来越发挥稳定的选手，奈何实力和其他两位哥有壁，也不是一个leader，能走到最后已经很棒了。和选手们感情非常好，人也很nice，Ralph推她送死过一次，她也完全理解。有时候她和男队友们的互动，会表现出一种很放松、孩子气的一面，和其他女选手不同。后来才知道原来她是les啦。不过就是此人名字不太好记，我一看第二季就把她给忘了。

Elsie：红队。就是那个好多个小孩的妈，第一次见Gordon就紧张得要晕掉那位姐。开始以为她是两面三刀心机bitch，嘴上说着不会让Dewberry走，结果在Gordon面前毫不犹豫地就提名他。后来发现她就是大大咧咧而已，和Michael运用战术相比简直就是pure and true。最后被淘汰的那一晚，因为被其他三个人bully，心态崩塌导致发挥失常，看着她满眼泪水和委屈，我竟然共情了。

（越写越少）

Jeff：很早就淘汰了，但对此人印象深刻。半夜肚子疼，结果拉出来一颗肾结石还到处给队友看想要证明自己没有在摸鱼。

Jimmy：Gordon口中的big boy。笨拙但人不坏，工作之外是能在团体里面起到开心果作用的。被Michael利用还给他报恩（Michael真的运气好）。赢了一次challenge就飘了，下一晚就淘汰了...话说这一季好多人都是这样走掉的诶。

Wendy：地狱厨房少见的中国人。人很温柔善良，但实力不够，而且是这季里面最容易陷入慌乱的选手，她听Gordon rap订单的时候一脸困惑的样子，仿佛就是做英语听力的我。

总体来说，这一季的人相处气氛非常和谐，甚至有时看出了家庭感。。。之后的两季气氛完全不同，第二季就是各式各样发挥不稳定的人轮流搞事情，第三季就是一群丧丧的人丧丧的生存战（还没看完）。但第一季很明显地，有角色成长、能看到选手有革命情谊的bonding、能感受到团队分工、选手battle起来也很刺激，当然可能因为是最先看的这一季所以印象比较深刻。

一句话，除了满嘴骂人，没有别的关于美食的一点东西，我真的怀疑主厨真的是厨师吗？相比较而言，《top chef》就很好，有真人秀的娱乐性也关注了美食。而不是整天只听见hell f...，整个一个精神病。

前言：

今天看完最后一集了，总觉得蛮感慨的。然后看到这边也没人更新这期参赛者的后续情况，就把这篇文章搬过来了。话说michael和raphi也太惨了.... 一个餐馆没开多久新生儿就去世了，之后和妻子也越走越远直到离婚，长期的药物成瘾也越来越严重，据说一段时间穷到去shelter领食物过活，好歹是在2还是3年前戒掉了成瘾问题，也遇到了自己现在的妻子和儿子，还有机会重新发展自己喜欢的cooking事业。另一个餐馆在装修的时候不知道是设备问题还是什么的遇到了爆炸，全身40%烧伤，这么多年算是身体上恢复过来了，心理上却不像以前一门心思只想开自己的餐馆而是想好好照顾家庭了（其实也有爆炸留下的阴影的关系吧...)。

After the show, she appears to have returned to her career in account management.

其实看Hell's Kitchen还是需要有一定强悍的心理承受能力的。毕竟总是听着Gorden Ramsay满嘴的Fuck shit的，平均每分钟都会有掩饰脏话的“嘟”声。
这部Hell's Kitchen的节目设置完全跟学徒重合，只不过参加者是厨师而已。厨师们分为两组，每组有个Leader管理手下的厨师们。需要完成的任务就是在Hell's Kitchen里吃饭的客人的餐点。哪个队伍完成Service的最快、最好，队伍获胜，失败的队伍中将有两个人head to head，最后有一个人离开。怎么样，感觉很像学徒里的boardroom吧。
其中也有豪华的奖励。两个队伍会在上午进行一个小比赛，赢得队伍会得到和大厨共进午餐等豪华的奖励，而失败的队伍则要在厨房里准备晚上两队共同需要做的食材。
当然，Gorden Ramsay也是厨师界Donald Trump级别的人物，英国仅有的三位米其林三星大厨之一，在全球有10家餐厅，性格火爆，满嘴脏话，独断专行，所有的决定都一个人拿，极具个人色彩。他被英国人评为“最可怕的十位电视名人”之一。可见其粗口的程度。
和Top Chef不同，Hell's Kitchen没有展现制作美食的方面，而是突出餐馆背后的后厨的情景，着重点放在厨师是如何完成客人的点餐的。对于美食制作的描写很少。
另外，最值得的一看的是每季的Finale。最后的两位厨师将完成"他们有生以来最大的挑战"(学徒的原话阿！)他们将各自主持Hell's Kitchen的一半，自己决定菜谱、餐厅的装饰、服务生的衣着，挑选自己的厨师队伍，完成一晚的Service，最后根据客人的意见、Gorden Ramsay将决定谁会获胜。
现在第四季只剩下5位选手了，很快也要Finale了。大家去看看吧
