Aaron’s Personal Hell

SPOILERS AHEAD: If you have not watched the season premiere of Hell’s Kitchen on Fox yet, then you might not want to read this post. There is still time though, turn away now. Last warning, okay we’re moving on…

Hell’s Kitchen is off to a bang with tonight’s premiere episode and one thing seems pretty clear already – Aaron has about as much staying power as a head of wilted lettuce. When I watched the commercials for this season of Fox’s reality cook-off and saw this man openly weeping in Gordon’s kitchen, I thought at least it was because of something stupid he had done. BUT NO! Aaron turned on the water works even before a single starter was served up to the hungry hordes of L.A.’s most pretentious diners. If he can’t keep it together before the shitake hits the pan, what hope does he have when things go really pear shaped? Something tells me that this seemingly too kind-hearted cook won’t last beyond episode 2.

And while we’re at it, I’m mighty happy with the decision to kick Tiffany. Anyone who refuses to put a short order cook in charge of frying up some damn eggs doesn’t deserve to helm their own luxury restaurant. Just because someone works at a Waffle House doesn’t mean they can’t cook, so I say don’t let the door hit ya on the way out girlfriend! Buh bye!

This season looks like its going to be drama packed, fun and even somewhat lethal! Seems like someone’s going up in flames… literally. As we wait to see who gets the extinguishers thrown at them, I’m glad my earlier analysis of the contestants picked for HK is holding water. This season’s bunch seems as inept, talentless and combative as any we’ve ever seen. Finally, a weekly TV show to sink our teeth into again. The heat is on!!
