Reality TV World Message Board Forums
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."

"What do the contestants do during the week?"
This goes for Hell's Kitchen as well, as far as I can tell -- the show makes clear that the action is happening more or less in real time, over the course of 15 weeks or so. In in-show interviews everybody talks about "last week's task", etc. But each task takes only two days. What do they do the rest of the time? They're clearly not allowed to talk to their family, given how thrilled they are when they are allowed to call them for five minutes.

They might get a day off between tasks if they're extremely lucky -- but for the most part, the events in the episodes take place right on top of each other: swing from one assignment to the next, over and over until exhaustion sets in. (One thing that really has been a problem for the cast: sleep deprivation.) The contestants are instructed to say 'week' at every opportunity and Donald has his script, although the show has had to dub over his mistakes every so often.

We've had several proofs of this over the seasons, starting from minicorps being spotted at various assignments and comparing them to the airdates later and going on through Lee's time, which gave us some of the dates on the air: he took the Judaic High Holy Days off -- and once we knew that, we just grabbed calendars.
