According to the reality TV blog Reality Blurred, an online gambling company may be responsible for leaking the Hell’s Kitchen 3 winner, and after only one episode has made it to air.
As we all know, Hell’s Kitchen is one of the many reality television shows that is NOT filmed live, in fact production on season 3 of the show wrapped up sometime in February. Reality TV shows employ hundreds of staff and most, if not every all of them, already know the identity of the show’s winner before it ever makes it to air. This is just one of many risks television networks like Fox have to accept in order to produce a show of Hell’s Kitchen 3 quality.
***SPOILER ALERT***
According to Reality Blurred, the online gambling company noticed irregular betting patterns involving a specific contestant before the airing of Hell’s Kitchen 3 episode 1. The company originally opened odds on the show with Rock as a 7/1 favorite, by the time the odds had closed for the airing of episode one they had received enough action to drop Rock’s odds as low as 2/1. According to reports, upon further investigation the company found a number of links between employee’s of the Fox TV network itself and a number of betting accounts responsible for driving Rock’s odds down.
It looks to me like someone that worked on the show for Fox decided to try and make a few extra bucks by betting on the Hell’s Kitchen 3 winner before anyone else. Not a bad idea, when you think about it. That is, of course, until you get caught. Obviously the person(s) behind the leak don’t much care for their job, either that or the risk of getting canned was out weighed by the prospect of winning a lowly $350.
In case you haven’t figured it out by what I have written above, I will come right out and say it. The Hell’s Kitchen 3 Winner is Rock! Not that this will keep me from watching the show. Even with the winner revealed, you still never know what’s going to happen through out the season and there is always a chance that the leak is incorrect. It does sound fairly accurate, but you never know.
