Anyone watching Cycle 7 (which started last night)? As usual, the cheftestants are about half and half--executive chefs, sous, and line cooks, with one CIA grad/butcher, and, on the other side, several "Personal Chefs" and "Private Chefs". (What's the difference?)

Every season Ramsey's kitchen behavior during the first few turnouts grows more obnoxious. In a few more seasons he'll be knee-capping participants who annoy him.

I missed the first show. I will have to see if I can catch it on Hulu, then comment.

I just can't take that show seriously anymore. A good friend who is a fellow chef is friends with one of the casting people, and decided about 2 years ago he wanted to give it a shot, so her asked the person working with the casting for the show what he needed to do. Basically they don't give a rats ass if you can cook or not. The only thing they care about is attitude. If you are full of yourself and cocky as hell, they will love you with little regardless to your skills, and that is what they are looking for - explained the casting friend. So turned off, my chef friend said 'screw it'.
