Hell’s Kitchen 3 Details

Things are starting to heat up around here! With the fall reality TV lineup all but wrapped up, it is time for the summer TV shows to officially kick into gear and pick up the slack, and you know what that means? Time for Hell’s Kitchen 3 baby!

Hell’s Kitchen has been one of my absolute favorite reality television shows since it’s premiere season and now going into it’s third season, things are looking better than ever. The new season is packed with great chefs, great dishes, amazing rewards, all new twists and, of course, what would the show be without the belligerent rantings of one of Britain’s finest, Chef Gordon Ramsay!

Hell’s Kitchen 3 kicks-off Monday, June 4 at 9/8 central on Fox and will pit 12 aspiring master chefs against one another for the coveted title of Head Chef of the brand new Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Las Vegas! Once again the contestants will be divided into two seperate teams; that’s right folks, we’re in for another exciting round of Girls vs. Guys competition.

Without further adieu, I present to you and yours, the 12 Hell’s Kitchen 3 contestants:

• Red Team (Girls team)
  • Bonnie, 26 of Los Angeles, CA – Nanny/personal chef
  • Jen, 26 of Hazelton, PA – Pastry chef
  • Joanna, 22 of Detroit, MI – Chef’s assistant
  • Julia, 28 of Atlanta, GA – Short-order cook
  • Melissa, 29 of New York, NY – Line cook
  • Tiffany, 27 of Scottsdale, AZ – Kitchen manager
• Blue Team (Guys team)
  • Aaron, 48 of Palos Verdes, CA – Retirement home chef
  • Brad, 25 of Scottsdale, AZ – Sous chef
  • Eddie, 28 of Atlanta, GA – Grill cook
  • Josh, 26 of Miami Beach, FL – Junior sous chef
  • Rock, 30 of Spotsylvania, VA – Executive chef
  • Vinnie, 29 of Milltown, NJ – Night club chef

My initial impression of the new cast is, well… interesting:

Aaron is already doomed to fail. Hell’s Kitchen generally doesn’t go to well for older people and, let’s face it, a retirement home chef? That’s just not going to cut it.

Rock is in for one hell of a difficult time and a whole ton of ass riding compliments of Chef Gordon Ramsay. Judging by the past two seasons of the hit reality TV series, Ramsay is anything but a fan of Executive Chef’s and seems to give them extra special attention.

Julia doesn’t stand a chance either. From the initial episode 1 preview video I’ve seen, anyone that breaks down in tears while trying to do something as simple as fry an egg is doomed.

I have to admit, this season has got me excited and I am really looking forward to the first episode. But, going into Hell’s Kitchen 3 pretty much blind, my initial pick to win it all is 27-year old kitchen manager Tiffany. She’s been in kitchens all her life, she’s got professional training and, judging by the preview videos, she seems to be in the right mindset. You heard it here first folks! Tiffany will win Hell’s Kitchen 3 (maybe), hehe.

Fire up your TiVo’s, stock the fridge with drinks and snacks, and get ready, Hell’s Kitchen 3 kicks-off June 4 at 9/8 central! Don’t miss it.
