I've only seen Hell's Kitchen a couple of times but I think it's to get one chef of 10 or 12 to work in an expensive hotel somewhere. There are the usual big prizes the winner gets. As for the show itself, well Gordon Ramsay does have a way of shocking the viewer. Either with his constant swearing at the contestants or his beliitling them or humiliating them. Come to think of it, I don't know why I watch it. I think I was shocked a few times so I continued to watch it but when you think about it he's kind of a bully. On the other hand, I've seen him do great kindnesses for and to people. Go figure.
