After greeting the crop of contestants for tonight's new season premiere of "Hell's Kitchen," Chef Gordon Ramsay mutters to himself, "Bloody hell. Here we go again."

I know how exactly he feels.

Watching the first episode of "Hell's Kitchen" each season (that's usually about all I can bare to watch), I can't help but think, "Where did they get these people?" This is no "Top Chef." It's not even "MasterChef." Even though I like cooking competition shows and I also like Ramsay, I don't care for "Hell's Kitchen" because I can't take 98% of the contestants seriously.

"Hell's Kitchen" casting leans heavily toward the weird, the volatile, and the less-than-capable. Maybe that's why it's not so bad watching Ramsay scream at them. They really are pretty bad.

MasterChef (9pm, Fox) - Tonight's "Hell's Kitchen" episode (8pm) will merge seamlessly into the first episode of a new reality competition show, "MasterChef." The new series looks a lot like "HK" and even has chef Gordon Ramsay as a judge (along with Graham Elliot Bowles and Joe Bastianich). But this time all the hopefuls are true amateur cooks, and it seems to be a little lighter on the whole "wrath of hell" vibe you get from "HK." In fact, tonight's first round of auditions has a couple of tearjerker moments. Don't think I've ever cried watching "Hell's Kitchen." And there's a local guy on the show, but we'll have to wait till next week to see him.

Andrew Forster, a farmer/chef living in Wake Forest, was a contestant on the current season of "Hell's Kitchen" on Fox. That is, until Andrew got angry and stormed off the show earlier this week.

"Hell's Kitchen" is Chef Gordon Ramsay's reality competition cooking show, and if Ramsay is known for anything, it's screaming and cursing at his charges. Remarkably, Andrew never bothered to watch the show (now in its seventh season) before agreeing to appear, and once he got there, he decided pretty quickly he didn't like being yelled at.

Wipeout (8pm, ABC) - The super silly family hit is back for a special 2-hour season premiere. That's two full hours of people bouncing off of big rubber balls into water, but tonight's twist is that all the participants are on a first date.

Tonight Bob and Cortney Novogratz scramble to finish their big hotel project while struggling to sell their own home and bring in some much needed cash. 

Losing it with Jillian Michaels (NBC, 10pm) - I guess this is NBC's way of keeping "Biggest Loser" alive all year round. The mean trainer from "Biggest Loser," Jillian Michaels, moves in with a Massachusetts family to help them adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Bravo’s latest entry to its line up of mouth-watering reality shows is “Chef Academy,” which follows Michelin-winning French chef Jean Christophe Novelli, who comes to Venice, California to start a culinary institute.

And when it premieres tonight at 11, among the 9 students he seeks to teach and train is Carissa Loughhead St. Aubin, a Charlotte newlywed who says she’s ‘nauseous with excitement’ to see the first episode.

The show is a little different than “Top Chef” or “Hell’s Kitchen,” or the other do-or-die elimination food shows. On this show, students get three chances to fail before they flunk out of the school. But while Novelli, a prankster who reveals a deep love of the TV character “Columbo,” isn’t the cussing tyrant that is Gordon Ramsay, St. Aubin says he’s not a pushover either.
