Ramsay himself had an abusive father, and while he does yell and curse at the chefs, It's been shown that he really does care for them deep down and that all the yelling and screaming is pretty much just for the cameras.

In episodes where children are involved, Ramsay tries to control his potty mouth. And in the episodes where Ramsay's daughters are celebrating their birthdays at Hell's Kitchen (their sweet 16 and 21st birthdays respectively), he is shown to be nothing but kind to them.

No anomals die on screen, but the usage of meat in basically every episode confirms that animal death had occured.

Coming from a vegetarian, I don't think cooking meat is animal abuse. There is a slaughterhouse in one episode (I don't remember if it was just a verbal joke or not), but the ensuing challenge doesn't involve said slaughterhouse.

In s4e8 a contestant cuts off the tip of his finger and it’s unclear whether the fingertip is cooked into the food or not. The concern is raised but they never discover where it ultimately ends up.

People do get slight burns from hot surfaces, but nobody is ever burned alive. Fire, however, is a big part of the series, so proceed with caution if need be.

A woman named Tana is shown during the signature dish challenge, and Ramsay starts flirting and even making out with her, with the contestants noting in the confessionals that Ramsay is a married man. It's soon revealed that the "Tana" in question was simply Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay, in disguise.

Contestant freak outs are not uncommon, whether it be pressure on the line or finally snapping at someone else in the dorms. Also, if you want/need to count Gordon Ramsey yelling as a meltdown, then by all means.

Sometimes you see/hear people actually eating their food before it gets praised or sent back, as well as utensils.

One of the chefs had there performance deteriorate one service because Ramsay kept calling him Bobby, a nickname that brought up painful memories of cjildhood abuse. Once Ramsay figured this out, he called the chef Robert, having gone through childhood abuse himself.

But in the Quinceañera episode, Barret prepares a spicy dish for the girl of honor, who specifically said she didn't like spicy food, using "Hispanic people like spice!" as his justification.

The show is called Hell's Kitchen, and a devil's pitchfork is part of the logo, but nothing beyond that.

Specifically, characters worry about *becoming* homeless if they lose the competition *and* job opportunities back home.
