Hell's Kitchen...WTF??

I haven't watched this show since its first season where the heavily tattooed guy won. I didn't have an issue about the outcome of the show, I too thought he was the most gifted cook. The verbal abuse doled out to the contestants by Ramsay in this first season was pretty bad. Though I loved his BBC offerings, I wrote off Hell's Kitchen as another Hollywood-ruined series and moved on with my life.

Fast forward to last night. BF surfed to Hell's Kitchen and we were kind of "listening" to it as background noise. I happened to look up just in time to see Ramsay spitting into a gravy boat containing some type of sauce, and I immediately became nauseous. Critiquing someone's food to the point of humiliation is one thing - but no self-respecting chef, no matter how much the blow hard, would disrespect the food in this manner.

I would become so blind with rage upon such an action, I'd immediately launch myself at the perpetrator's throat without a nanosecond's thought. It would be an involuntary response. This might seem extreme but defacing food is one of those things that just flips a switch for me. I see red.

Is anyone still actually entertained by this show?
