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.
I've seen a plane pull back to the gate once in all the years I have been treaveling. It was several, ok, many years ago and I wasn't involved, so I don't remember the specifics. But I think it was in Atlanta or Cincinnatti, since I have been flying primarily Delat for so many years.
There is no way that Hell's Kitchen is scripted. Gordon Ramsey's outbursts are real and spontaneous. And unlike Top Chef, there is no disclaimer at the end that the producers are in any way involved with the firing decision. After all, the winner of Hell's Kitchen will run a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and I would think that he would want to have the final say.
Watching Lisa is no fun for this viewer.
