I have no use for big bother or survivor or any of the distinctions romance shows.

Hell's Kitchen at least is focused on actual, useful and productive skills.

I agree about showing actual cooking. People don't seem to care that much for purely informative shows, but it would be better if they included an actual recipe in each episode. It might only be 15 seconds at the end if they can't fold it in during the actual show. How to make perfect fluffy scrambled eggs every time, that sort of thing.

Some of the episodes do (or did) include Ramsey showing everyone how to prepare one of the dishes, clearly he has to do this at some point in the contest to train everyone on his menu, but they don't often show it, or they don't show enough of it so the viewers can learn from it.
