"Hell's Kitchen" Kicks Off Next Month

Does Gordon Ramsay ever stop to count his money? Fox is already cranking out the next edition of "Hell's Kitchen." It will premiere next month.

This time, 16 chefs will compete to become the head chef at Araxi Restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. As another tasty part of the prize, Fox says the winner will also join executive chef James Walt in "welcoming the world during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games" -- whatever that means.

As with previous seasons, the first episode will see the 16 contestants conjuring up signature dishes. However, it will be a team challenge, with the men against the women. Another change for the season: This edition will air on Tuesdays, instead of in the previous Thursday timeslot. The contestants include:

The Red Team

  • Amanda, 27, Sous Chef, New York, NY

  • Ariel, 27, Sous Chef, Los Angeles, CA

The most likely successor to Billy Mays on latenite infomercials has to be SHAMWOW Vince. Israeli born Vince Schlomi, the SHAMWOW pitchman definitely comes the closest of anybody on TV to having Billy's presence and charisma. I would not be surprised if Vince's voice becomes as familiar on late nite as Billy Mays' voice.
