Anyone know when it airs in the uk? Watched the first ep last night via the usual means, but I find the constant bleeping and blurring out of mouths more offensive/annoying than the language itself. I have googled it, but I can't find when or if it will be aired here..

Someone gets injured, someone gets hospitalised, someone has a breakdown and comes back stronger.
Every season has been like that! I don't watch it for the gritty realism.
Well that's true.
It's just for the last 2-3 seasons I really can't remb the names of anyone including the winner. It feels it shifted more to "ooh the drama" and cartoon characters, rather than real people cooking for a chance to work for Ramsey for a few months before they quit. ;-)
This season is much the same, I couldn't name one of the contestants and if you shuffled their pictures together with the last two seasons I'd struggle to pick them out again
I'll probably watch it in a couple of batches - I haven't really been able to watch the service half of the show for a couple of years now as it's the same thing time and time again, so i'll just watch the challenge stuff at the start and skip to the eliminations i imagine.
And it's no change this year - very very samey. Jack Bauer 24 level of samey - dammit
Yeah i'm not expecting much really. The first half of the episodes are usually the most interesting.
I always smile at the voiceovers at the end of each episode imploring you to watch the next one as it will apparently be the single greatest, most serious, most graphic, most incredible moment of television history ever in all of recorded time.
And it never is ..
Dunno if it's just me but this season even that seems damp. It's kind of "next week someone cuts their finger" It's like the voice over guy can't be arsed either. Mind you in some ways that's funnier "don't miss next week when one of the contestants gets indigestion, and a strange smell rocks the bedroom"
The best show ever was a few years back where someone called gordon a blowjob and offered to fight him
Why are scallops so hard to cook? Every week there are problems with scallops and more often than not the risotto
What get me is the menu is the same every bloody year. You'd think if you were going on you'd actually try and master scallops, wellington, risotto etc before turning up.
Yes, 1000 times yes, I find it pretty hard to believe these people don't spend hours mastering those 3 things specifically. I kind of understand why he chooses them though, they're very time-sensitive, left just a little too long on the heat or in the oven and it's no good. But still, you'd think they'd have figured it out by now, lol.
HK is my guilty pleasure, I don't consider it a cooking show, it's more like Jeremy Kyle in the kitchen shouting at people dumb enough to try out for it.
I'm rubbish with names, but there's one guy this season that makes me laugh .. he looks like Ant and sounds like Christian Bale's Batman when he gets angry. Hahaha!
Exactly!
Get a group of cooks who don't smoke their heads off when away from the kitchen.
They must f***ing STINK.
I prefer the team challenges to the dinner part.
The challenges can be truly entertaining whereas the dinner service is rarely entertaining. Its just raw this, burnt that and is basically the same every time.
I did laugh at the first of yesterdays dinners though when someone accidently spilt some oil amd the hob caught fire. According to last weeks voiceover he did it deliberately so gordon wouldnt notice the error made by the pizza guys, and jp had to come in to put it out.
Except that didnt happen. The oil spill was accidental and gordon just chucked a towel over it. The way it was advertised looked like everyone was close to sudden death!
Seeing them around that table all smoking and that bowl overflowing with cigarette ends and ash makes me feel sick
Yes! That's what I took from the preview - that someone had taken a pizza out of the bin to serve (using footage that ended up being from the part where Gordon asked them to bring him the binned pizzas to count), and someone else had deliberately started a fire as a distraction! Not just a clumsy oaf spilling oil...
I had forgotten it was him taking it out the bin!
This makes the whole hyping up thing even worse! Making out like someone served a bin pizza when actually it was not that at all.
Id have been even more disappointed if i had it in my mind that was the cause.
It's staggering how they can indicate one thing, with footage to seemingly back it up, and then it turns out the implied storyline was created out of thin air and nothing of the sort ever happened!
Jessica practically had a breakdown when she got kicked out. Surprised she lasted that long.
