Sadly, once again it comes down to who Ramsey wants to sleep with and not who is a better cook. This is the last season me and my wife will watch this.

The previous three winners, all in committed relationships during competition, will no doubt take umbrage at Jayson’s intimation of sexual hanky-panky as their strategy to win Hell’s Kitchen.
All at my house love the show and are alreay looking forward to Season 5.

I think who won deserved to win. I was actually shocked with who ended up in the finally. I really do like the show. Although to me this seasons contestants were a little sub par. Not that I could do better but the other contestants from the previous shows seemed more up to snuff.

I’ve watch all 4 seasons, and I did’nt think the cooks were as good as past years. Christina won the most challenges and deserved to win!She also had the best looking dining room. I just wonder if she can last a whole year because of her age.

For god’s sake! She’s a culinary student. Can you say “rigged.”

Sometimes I wonder if people think all it takes to be great is schooling. It doesn’t hurt to be formally trained, but it is not everything.
I am certain that Chef Ramsey was more choosy and careful about who he selected this year than any other year. He was hiring for his own restaurant. It came down to the right final two and C.Ramsey selected carefully and made the right choice.
Christina learned much faster and came up to speed very quickly. She had more raw talent and I believe can be shaped much easier to be what Ramsey will want. Both finalist made mistakes, but under the kind of pressure, competition, and lack of sleep it doesn’t surprise me. I think after Christina trains with the Executive Chef in New York she will be ready to lead in Los Angeles.

I wantched a couple of seasons, watching the finale makes me say that I do not think that I will watch any more shows in this series. As a professional chef I question many of Chef Ramseys pick. Petrozza clearly had a more ‘push the envelope’ menu, better quality control. Petrozza’s only two issues were delegating (which I think is super minor), and running out. I think in a real life situation that would not have happened. Even Chef Ramsey said that he picked Christina, because he saw potential. A potential bride?
So you better potential as a exec chef. Is that why he went shopping for clothes making inappropriate statements?? The trips seem rather personal than a award excursion!
I am sure that C Ramsey is an uber chef, and a great actor. But his judgement is very tainted.
All in all I am not very impressed!

I agree that there is more raw talent and future. That is not what this show is about. When you go to a restaurant, you want good cuisine, not a good future chef.

Why you hafta hate on Ramsay? NO, he’s not “looking for his future bride” he’s married, you twit. So, you think you could do better? Go get your own show and have as many michellin stars as him, see how you do.
I like Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares better, tho’… It’s my guilty pleasure. He’s hot!

What happened to petrozza? I know he lost his job coming on to this show. I really hope he is doing good.
Liked both of the finalist but I think Gordon made the right decision.
