"Casting? Hi, it's Kent over at Hell's Kitchen. We loved what you did for us last year-- where did you dug up that dopey low-rider Keith? This year we want to push the boundaries even further. No! Oh, God no-- stay the hell away from cooking schools or Michelin-rated restaurants. Don't get me wrong, the cast should all have some cooking experience-- we don't want anyone killing themselves, after all-- but nothing too advanced. If we actually got people who knew what they were doing, Gordon wouldn't be able to do his pissy yelling schtick. Give us two or three competent people so the finale has some tension, but otherwise go nuts. The more small-minded and petty they are, the better. And hey, I know you guys love a challenge, so there's an extra ten grand for you if you can dig up a cherubic minority pushing fifty who's sweet as can be but utterly incompetent and prone to bursts of uncontrollable weeping. Haha... yeah, okay-- make it 20 Gs-- but for that kind of money I expect some kind of freaky genetic anomaly thrown in as well. Oh-- and I can't stress this enough-- at least one of the women has to be smokin' hot. What? Sorry, no-- I know you didn't just fall off the truck. Okay, great. You're the best."
