Along with Washington’s wife Lesley, kooky Aunt Tina, and party girl Cousin Sammy, the Ho household is filled with love, laughter, and of course, designer handbags.

  1. Koolaid says:

    How am I able to watch Hell’s Kitchen? Theres a new episode every week which makes it EVEN more confusing! By the time it premieres i will know the winner because I am on episode 12.

    • Jenny says:

      I’m not sure I understand… It isn’t airing in the US right now…

    • BoyMom says:

      They air the US one in the UK. You are watching the UK airing. That’s why the are playing the curse words….they don’t do that when they air it in the US. I’m watching it too.

  2. Koolaid says:

    But its the US Version. I think someone is leaking it each week. The girls are the better team because the blue team is full of drama and they are more composed. Usually its ihe men who ocer hear the women arguing with each other but its reversed this season. It has the most Napolean contestant in HK history. Effin hate that dude.

  3. Koolaid says:

    Ohhhhh. Today I checked and episodes 12, 13, 14 just released at once so thats a first. I thought reality competitions guard those endings with NDA’s so I guess not.
