Hell's Kitchen was almost even in raw A18-49 ratings this season, which is a huge accomplishment given it had to air the majority of its season on Friday. This is compared to last season, when oftentimes it got to air after American Idol. When it moved to Thursday, it provided even better numbers than in the fall. While I don't like that its finale fell in the ratings, the fact it premiered and finished at the same level, not to mention staying at it or going above it numerous times, means this show deserves the grade it gets.
Grade: A
