Chef Gordon Ramsay is headed back to weed out the donkeys in Hell’s Kitchen. Just like the first 6 seasons of the show, Chef Ramsay will divide the chef wannabees into two teams, Red and Blue.

Every season so far, Chef manages to turn up the heat for the contestants and we often get to see them crack completely up or be taken out by a medical issue. And every season we see some pathetic losers make fools of themselves on the way to the finale. (Don’t they ever watch the previous seasons? They should know better!)

Here is the new crop of neophytes. They all look eager and ready, but we know most of them are about to be tossed out of Hell’s Kitchen forever. The new season of Hell’s Kitchen premieres on June 1 at 8pm on FOX. It’s definitely about to be another hot summer!
