Probably a bit off topic but Hell's Kitchen getting bad

Hell's Kitchen?? Looks like the worst group ever. I think there are 3 questions on the Hell's Kitchen application that the applicants must have answered, "NO".
(1) Have you ever made scallops?
(2) Have you ever made risotto?
(3) Do you how to make Beef Wellington?

and 3 that they must have said, "YES".
(1) Do you smoke?
(2) Are you a loudmouth with frequent swearing?
(3) Do you think you will need an EMT and do you like ridding in an ambulance?

Hell's kitchen should recruit people who have at least some cooking skills.

I've never seen the show, but it sounds like they are wanna-be actors who want to be on TV and so they apply to every TV reality show.

There are some really terrible "cooking" and food-related shows out there. I am a few notches more stupid after having watched a bit of "Mystery Diners" on Food Network a few weeks back. It's the most clearly staged, awfully acted, moronically-repetitive show I've seen in a long time. It's supposed to be real, I think, but it's so obvious that it's scripted and staged, it's borderline uncomfortable to watch.

I stopped watching after the first two or three seasons. It got to predictable. My wife and I started joking it was "the worst service ever" after every service and we are both convinced that no one can make risotto.

As for the smoking and foul mouths, unfortunately I know that lots of kitchen staff smoke, Id venture to say the majority do, or at least a much higher percentage then the general population. (just from my experience)To make the show more "explosive" they purposely put people on that will clash to make it better TV.

Agree HK has the worst lot yet.
Also, the only show I still watch on Food Network is Chopped. Seems to be the least scripted of the bunch, and I like seeing what they do with the weirdest combination of ingredients the producers could possibly find.
