I have to admit that I love watching the contestants on HK squirm and eventually wither under the heat (sometimes literally - last season, the team that lost a challenge had their kitchen A/C turned off!). But I also like the challenges which make the aspiring chefs think on their feet about tastes, textures, plating, etc.
I find it fascinating how long some of the people in the actual restaurant are willing to wait for food! Or how obnoxious some of them turn out to be when displeased!
Also, I enjoy watching Chef Ramsay as he Jekyll and Hydes his way through the experience. When he's the kitchen Chef, he's the hard ass you see in the commercials, but when he's out of the kitchen being a mentor-type guy, he's a pussycat.
Plus, I've always had it in the back of my head that I might go study at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) one day. So I like to watch them and think, "I could SO do better than that!" lol
