Doesn't Hell's Kitchen just basically down to being Masterchef in new colours with more colourful consequences whichever way the cookie crumbles?

It basically seems to boil down to don't screw it up in any way whatsoever or you get a torrent of abuse thrown at you,

IIRC we stripped it schedule wise, and since the US picked the format up it airs weekly and self contained (I seem to remember we did it Big Brother style and voted people out), and a lot of the international versions of the show follow the US version.

I mean I know Gordon Ramsey isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea and makes Roy Chubby Brown look family friendly by comparison sometimes, and I was very surprised to learn Ramsey does Masterchef Junior of all things in the States!
