Gordon Ramsay ignites “Battle of the states” on hell’s Kitchen Season 24
Los Angeles, CA – September 26, 2025 - Gordon Ramsay has launched the latest installment of hell’s Kitchen, pitting chefs representing different states against each other in a high-stakes culinary competition. Season 24, dubbed “Battle of the States,” premiered with a challenge that promptly divided the contestants: the women’s team enjoyed a luxurious day on a 120-foot yacht, while the men faced grueling kitchen preparation, unloading deliveries of furniture and linens.
This season marks a return to the popular “Battle of the States” format, previously featured in Season 19, and promises intensified rivalry as chefs vie for the coveted title and a life-changing opportunity. The stakes are high, with each elimination bringing contestants closer to either a head chef position at a prestigious restaurant or a return to their previous culinary lives. next week’s episode will introduce a critical element of the competition – the Punishment Pass – and foreshadow a chaotic opening-night dinner service.
The initial reward challenge saw the women’s team celebrating while the men toiled, setting the stage for a tense dynamic.Upcoming challenges will test the chefs’ skills, teamwork, and resilience under Ramsay’s famously critical eye. The next episode will focus on the fight for the Punishment Pass, a strategic advantage allowing a team to avoid the consequences of a poor service.
Viewers can anticipate escalating pressure as both teams struggle through a turbulent dinner service, with one chef perhaps reaching their breaking point. Hell’s Kitchen Season 24 airs [airdate/time] on Fox.
