WITH SAFETY ON THE LINE, THE PRESSURE MIGHT PROVE TO BE TOO MUCH ON AN ALL-NEW "HELL'S KITCHEN" FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, ON FOX

The 16 chefs are given 40 minutes to execute their first individual challenge - the Bar Menu Challenge. Then, the chefs prep for the season's first dinner service, as they adapt to an all-new menu. For the first time ever, the restaurant will host Chef Tables on opening night with special VIP guests - singer Jordin Sparks ("American Idol" winner), actor Joe Montegna ("Criminal Minds"), actor French Stewart ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), R&B singer Keith Sweat and singer Kirstin Maldonado from Pentatonix. One team struggles to bounce back after a rocky start, while the other team hits its stride and finishes strong. And after a disappointing dinner service, Chef Ramsay makes a shocking decision during elimination in the all-new "Raising The Bar" episode of HELL'S KITCHEN airing Friday, Oct. 6 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HK-1702) (TV-14 L)
