PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Answers about restaurant customers" |
This was posted on msnbc.com.
Do the restaurant patrons in Hell’s Kitchen show up because they want to be on TV? Are they being charged for their meal, or is it free since it’s 99% sure that they won’t get any food?
“Hell’s Kitchen,” which had its finale Aug. 1, is one of summer’s surprise reality hits, and everyone wants to know what’s up with the diners in the restaurant. Are they actors? Did they have to pay for their food? Were barf bags provided?
A ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ diner, TVgasm writer B-Side, gave us the story. The diners were, in fact, real people who were recruited to test out the food and service in the “restaurant.” (The building, by the way, is a former TV studio converted into a restaurant and dorm area for the production.) Diners didn’t have to pay for their meals, however — which makes sense, since a lot of times, they never see the food they ordered. In fact, as compensation for their time, each diner was paid $50. They weren’t paid to act or react in any way, however. Diners had to sign standard non-disclosure agreements, so we don’t have many details about what went down during the taping. Our diner did eat, however, and reports that the food was “not very good.” Diners also had their car valeted, so the cutaway shots to the restaurant’s exterior aren’t just for show. As to Gordon Ramsay himself, our diner reports that he wasn’t screaming his head off, so clearly it was a good night.

2. "RE: Answers about restaurant customers" |
I read that link last night and was thinking of posting it, too. I wonder how you can sign up for it? I think he films in one city or another, and uses local people. I read something a month ago that said they were looking for people to be on the show (as contestants) in the Boston area. 
Sigs by Bob! Like nuthin you've seen before!
A/C is cool.

4. "If you're RECRUITED or if you PAY, it's HK & you KNOW it" |
as a customer. Why would you EVER get up and leave. You know there's a chef in there struggling with sorta newbies to get to perfection. So bring a book to the restaurant or someone you're really into or you i-pod or something. But don't just get up and leave.
