Format
Hell’s Kitchen is a reality TV show featuring a competition between aspiring chefs using progressive elimination format to shorten the number of participants in every new episode. 12 or 20 chefs compete for a chance to become a single winner in the end of the season. The American version of Hell’s Kitchen almost fully corresponds to the British original version of the show. The only difference is that the British version is performed live and the American one is recorded beforehand. The filming of the show is done in Hell’s Kitchen – a warehouse in Los Angeles that had to be modified for the show. There’s a restaurant there with kitchen facilities and residences for the participants of the project – they need to stay there while the filming is done. The participants are also presented with knife sets that can be kept never depending on the result of the competition. In the beginning of every season, Gordon Ramsay splits the participants into two groups quite often basing on the gender of the participants. Each team is given a uniform of the certain color – the red team is a team of women and the blue team is a team of men. Each team has a chef that generally stays until the end of the season; however, Ramsay has a right to reassign him or her because of the bad performance. When the number of the participants becomes insignificant, they are assembled into one team where they continue competing individually.
