In what instances you seen a gate pulled back up to a plane to let passengers back on?

I disagree about Hell's Kitchen. I think that show is more scripted than Top Chef. I believe the firings are completely determined by the producers.

Maybe, but at the end of the day it's all about entertainment. They want the lively characters and personalities (like Lisa on Top Chef) to be around. More fun for us viewers.
