Did we really need so many spoilers for Hell's Kitchen? What's left to tell us except who goes home?

@peekpoke: I'm sorry that our guide provided spoilers. We'll try to be more careful about this in the future. That said, I really don't see how what Gordon has written here—essentially a paraphrasing of what's on the Hell's Kitchen site itself—spoils anything. If you've been watching, you'll know the number of people remaining, and I don't really think that mentioning that Ramsay gets burned is a spoiler. It's reality TV, and the fact that someone burns his hand may or may not foreshadow a booting.
