Well, no one seemed to care about Bobby leaving. The final four did not even mention him after he left. I kind feel sorry for him, his departure was over shadowed by Jen and Christian.
I liked how show is moving a bit faster now. They did not spend much time showing their reaction to bobby leaving (if there was any) and moved right along to the next day.
There challenge for this episode: to come with and make 80 portions for mystery guests (in like an hour). The 80 mystery guests will be determining the winner of the challenge. The kitchen was fully stocked and they could use anything they wanted in the dishes (if they had known who was coming to dinner some of the cooks might have chosen different ingredients). Jen had hoped it was celebrities or something like that. None of the other contestants did not really care about who it was, just about making something good. If Jen had been thinking she would of realized that Chef Ramsey has never had a “celebrity” at Hell’s Kitchen for dinner and they should of expected something like what ended up happening (didn’t these contestants ever watch Hell’s Kitchen before they were on the show, lol.)
Jen, Petrozza, Cory, and Christian all got off to a good start. No one really seemed to be ahead. However the closer it got to “plating time” Cory was obviously behind the rest. Jen, Petrozza, and Christian had their serving tables cover with plates ready for the mystery guests to arrive and Cory had like one serving tray full of plates (10 maybe 15 plates of food).
The mystery guests finally arrived and the contestants learned that they were not feeding 80 but 160. The guests were pregnant women (that looked like they could give birth any minute). Right away Petrozza was regretting the “spice” of his dish. Good thing he kept it mild. While preparing the dishes, he had made a comment about his dish had a kick but to appeal to the masses he kept his Monte Cristo sandwich’s mild. Cory had go back into the kitchen and finish preparing the rest of her 80 plates, leaving the hungry pregnant women having to stand a wait, since they all got one of each ( dishes were on different colored plates so the women could vote by plate color). Petrozza did his best to work the room of pregnant women, making sure they knew he was father. Because of that it is kind of hard to tell if they voted for his dish because they liked it or because they felt a sense of comradely. I am sure he did not care because in the end it was between him and Christian. Chef Ramsey said the winner won by two votes. Cory was last, Jen was third, Petrozza second and Christian won.
Her prize was a shopping trip in Beverly Hills with Chef Ramsey, while the losers have to clean the dinning room for that night’s dinner service. Of course, Cory and Jen were sore about loosing and spent the whole time talking trash about Christian. Saying she has no fashion sense and they could do so much better, blah, blah. Little did they know, the owner of the boutique (and Chef Ramsay) help Christina choose her outfits. I wonder what Chef Ramsey wife thinks about him going shopping with her (and other female contestants on other seasons), especially for clothes. Since, he has to checkout her body to give an honest opinion on the outfit. I would not want my Husband doing that, lol.
By the time Christian got back to Hell’s Kitchen, Cory and Jen had talked themselves into being really mad. I thought it was kind of funny that Petrozza was not mad about losing. He just cleaned and listen to Cory and Jen complain. The only time Petrozza showed any kind of anger about losing was when Christian got back into the kitchen and asked what she could do. No one answered her, she asked like three times before Petrozza and Cory got over it. Jen continued to be Jen.
Dinner service started good, aside from Jen mashing the rice up with her spoon. Christian made a big boo boo, she had the pots handle over the flame and did not tell Chef Ramsey that it was hot and he grabbed it, burning his hand. Twice, she did that and came real close to being kicked out of the kitchen. However, Chef Ramsey’s hand was okay. We did not see him run to the medic, nor did his hand look bad. He did the smart thing and ran it under cold water right away. I am sure after years of cooking his hands are tough (when it comes to hot pots and pans). Once I grabbed a glass pan out of the 400-degree oven without oven mitts on and my hands were fine. Yes, it was painful but if you take certain steps you can usually prevent burn blusters (I burn myself a lot so I am speaking from experience, lol.)
Jens anti-teamwork attitude really showed tonight. Cory and Christian were BUSY, and Cory needed some eggs cooked for the scallops and Jen refused to even hear her ask for help. Christian tried but I think she burned them or something, because she was busy herself and could not watch the eggs as she should. Jen was not really doing anything. She had one pan of risotto, so she could of made the eggs. Jen only made the eggs when Chef Ramsey said something, Jen acted as if she was never asked to help and it was her pleasure to help.
All-in-all the dinner service was a success (by Hell’s Kitchen standards, lol) and Chef Ramsey commended them for overcoming some sticky situations and finally coming together like a team. However, the happiness was short lived because someone still has to go home tonight. The four of them were told to choose two to go up for elimination as a group.
They decided to write down names on pieces of paper and “vote” for who they think should go. During the tallying Cory realizes that Christian was voted for twice. Cory and Petrozza both said they did not do it and Christian did not so they were sure it was Jen. Just another sneaky trick. Cory, Christian, and Petrozza knew they were going to put Jen up but the problem was figuring out who else would go up. They were leaning towards Petrozza, but Cory said she deserved to be up there more then Petrozza. However the idea of putting him up was to make the choice easy for Chef Ramsey (send Jen home), but that was a risky plan for Petrozza and could of backfired. In the end they did the right thing and up Cory and Jen up.
I really thought Cory would be sent home because Chef Ramsey has never really paid attention to that kind of drama (contestants lying to eachother, etc..), at least in past seasons. Therefore, I was surprised that he sent Jen home. Happy but surprised. I was glad that Cory brought up her lying and attitude, that is probably what saved her.

Robert Galinsky is the founder of this brand new (one-of-a-kind) school, “New York Reality TV School”. He is producer, performer and acting coach (at least that is what the website says), and the “New York Reality TV School” is supposed to give its students a advantage by training with Reality TV development, casting, producing and directing professionals ( students also entered into their exclusive casting database, which puts them in the front of the line for casting calls.)
To me this kind of defeats the purpose of “reality TV”, if the contestants are trained they are not real people that reality show are looking for. I wonder if this will backfire on the students that say they went to this school when auditioning. The casting people may feel the way that I do about “trained reality “contestants” would make a reality show not a reality show. It would be nice to see/hear from students of this school and about how it has helped or hurt them.

Don’t you hate it when you miss your favorite reality show? I had to skip last night’s episode of Top Chef because of a schedule conflict. Sometimes you get so busy that you have to make time to watch a recorded episode. Now I have to avoid any site that might discuss last night’s result. I hate waiting to find out what happened.
Tonight is the first game of the NBA Finals: LA Lakers vs. Boston Celtics. I’m planning to watch the missed episode before the game. Reality shows, sports, catching up on my reading…there is only a limited amount of leisure time in a day. I have to make the best of it. How do you make time to watch your favorite shows?

The girls were not happy to have Jen back and Petrozza and Bobby were just shocked that Matt was even still there.
From the previews at the end of last weeks show and commercials between then and now, I was certain that they were going to be merged and become one team (Black).
With an early morning phone call the cooks learned they had to get up early and go some where. They were blind folded and taken to the new restaurant to get their new Black jackets. They are one team now. As an extra incentive Chef Ramsey shows them two brief cases full of 250,000 (the winners salary).
They got to tour the half-finished restaurant before they had to go back for the first individual challenge. The layout of the new restaurant looks good, nice and open floor plan (of course you had to use your imagination to see a done restaurant).
Chef Ramsey gives them each and assigned meat to cook (Matt-Veal, Christina-Sea Bass, Bobby-Duck, Jen-Beef, Petrozza-Chicken, Cory-Lobster. Chef Ramsey wants them to come up with a “new” dish or put their own spin on it and they only get 45 minutes to complete the dish.
Matt, Christina, Petrozza, Jen, and Bobby did as well. The only one that got scolded was Cory and that was for not using the whole lobster. Jens dish seemed to impress Chef Ramsey the most.
the winner of the first challenge was Jen, The reward was a trip to Las Vages to have dinner with last years winner Rock (and, her dish got put on the menu). And she got to take one person with her and surprise she choose Cory.
The rest of the team has to unload the delivery trucks as they came. all day.
Matt was complaining the whole time and Christina took it upon herself to manage the deliveries, which wasn’t really a bad ting except she seemed bossy to the other cooks. This was the first time I have seen a delivery go so smooth on hell’s kitchen, usually they do not get enough of one thing or vice versa. However I could be talking (typing, lol) too soon they have not started dinner service.
Matt and Christina were bickering the a lot while unloading and during the next days preparation. In addition, lucky them, they got put together on the meat station for tonight’s dinner service.
During dinner Matt, just broke down, it started okay but a few hours into it matt just started messing up. To be fair he was not the only one who messed up, however I am in no way, defending him, he should be kicked off. I am surprised that he has made it this far.
To speed up the cooking many of the cooks thought it was a good idea to put two different meats into one pan (Christina put rib eye and chicken while Bobby put salmon and scallops). Bobby’s two meats one pan trick was the most dangerous since people with shell food allergies could die if they eat that piece of fish that was cooked with the scallops (which Bobby knows since he is allergic to shell food).
By now the whole team was slipping, and not talking to each other. Cory was not paying attention and burned her hand (not as bad as the other girl did). She tried to be tough and did not want to go see the medic. Of course, Chef Ramsey could not let her “not” go see the medic.
Matt was messing up big time, sending out raw meat and not remembering the orders to be cooked. He tried to blame his bad performance on a headache, no one was buying it. Excuses, excuses. Eventually Chef Ramsey sent Matt up to the dorms to lay down. Matt thought Chef Ramsey was taking pity on him but he was just tired of hearing the other cooks and him fight and his whining.
Things just got worse from there, Jen burned some rice and got sent up to the dorms, Christina got sent to the dorms for watching the rice burn. Shortly after that they were all throw out and sent to their rooms.
Their first service as one team was a disaster. Since they were all bad, the whole team had to decide on two people to put up for elimination. Of course Matt was their first choice, picking the other person was a bit tougher. Do they put Christina put because the meat station tanked, but how much can you blame her for that problem since Matt was there. Cory told the team to put her up since she let her emotions get to her, but the ended up putting Matt and Christina up. While telling Chef Ramsey the teams choices Cory says she thought “she should be up there too” and he agreed with her. However I doubt anyone watching thought for one second that Cory or Christina was going home. Right before Chef Ramsey told Matt to leave I thought he might be sending both Matt and Christina home since he was telling her that she needed more experience somewhere else.
We will have to see if they come together as a team or continue too fight is next weeks episode.

#20. Tailor Made Vs. Mr. Wise (I love New York 2)
In this fight, Tailor Made was called out by Mr. Wise for being a snitch. Tailor Made fires back a chuckle worthy, “Go F*ck Yourself.” This further inspires Mr. Wise who gets in Tailor Made’s face and, in the process of projecting his words, also projects some spitting (along the lines of, say it don’t spray it). So Tailor Made makes the *wise* decision to full-on spit in Mr. Wise’s face. Mr. Wise obviously then wants to beat the crap out of Tailor Made but says of Tailor, “he was just like real feminine” and “I can’t hit this kid.” He finished by saying that if he ran into Tailor Made on the street today, he’d first shake his hand, then whoop his a**… except he just got off probation.
#19. Adrienne Curry and Christopher Knight (My Fair Brady: Maybe Baby?)
In Season 3, Adrienne surprises Chris with sexy pics she had taken with one of her girlfriends. When she presents Chris with these pictures, he is disturbed, saying that he is married to a lipstick lesbian. Adrienne yells, “I’m not a lesbian! I’m a Chris-ian! Chris Kinght!” Chris leaves the romantic getaway after saying of the pics, “It’s the physicalization of my worst fear.” Wow, Dude. Lots of guys would be happy with that physicalization!!
#18. Lacey vs. Heather (Rock of Love: Season 1)
In this episode, the girls’ parents were meeting Bret Michaels. Lacey badmouths Heather, telling Bret that Heather doesn’t love her parents and something disparaging about Heather working as a stripper. Overhearing this, Heather snaps and remarks that she is the most educated of the girls in the house and is tired of the remarks about her career. Heather tells of Lacey and then says, in front of Lacey’s dad, that Lacey has been sucking an appendage of Bret’s every night. Lacey’s dad then gets involved, telling Heather she’s trashy. But the best part is that Lacey’s daddy then goes and confronts Bret! Hahahaha.
#17. New York vs. The World (Flavor of Love 2: Reunion Show)
During the reunion show, the other castmates yelled things at her and threw things at her! Eventually, some of the girls start rushing the stage to get to New York, who continues to sit on the couch, making taunting faces and swinging her hair around haughtily. Once security steps in front of the other girls and New York realizes she is safe, she then jumps up and acts as though security is holding *her* back from rushing them! Uh yeah, no one’s buying it, New York!
#16. Daniel Baldwin vs. Jeff Conway (Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Season 1)
During a group therapy session, Baldwin questions Conway’s dedication to quitting substance abuse, and reminds him that he had brought in cocaine to the rehab. Jeff goes crazy and demands that Baldwin “take it back! Take it f*cking back!”
#15. Rock of Love Girls vs. Daisy (Rock of Love Season 2)
After it is revealed that Daisy is still living with her ex-boyfriend, the other girls are quite angry. Amber comments on it, saying that the fact that Daisy and the ex-bf shared a bed was just too much. Highlights are shown of Heather (who was in Season 1 and comes in to visit the girls and get the inside scoop to tell Bret) throwing her drink at Daisy, saying, “You’re not going to hurt my friend!” The tension between Heather and Daisy never goes away and when the two are seated on the couch together at the reunion show, a catfight erupts, complete with Heather punching the back of Daisy’s head repeatedly. It does seem to be a foolhardy move, on Daisy’s part, to have gotten in Heather’s face. Perhaps she will learn a “life lesson” from that.
#14. Hulk Hogan vs. Tiny Trainer (Hogan Knows Best: Season 4)
Linda starts working out with a personal trainer, Martin, who, in Hulk’s opinion, gets too personal with his wife. Hulk confronts Martin, Martin calls pro-wrestling “f*cking fake”, and Hulk says if he ever uses that phrase in his house again, he’ll never be allowed to come back. It really wasn’t a wise move for Tiny Trainer to disrespect Hulk in his own home. I mean, his name Hulk isn’t ironic. Eventually Tiny gets kicked out.
#13. Sister Patterson vs. Flavor Flav (Flavor of Love: Season 1)
Sister Patterson (New York’s momma) and Flav get into it, I think b/c Ms. Patterson doesn’t believe Flav is good enough for her daughter. Per New York, the clock around Flav’s neck really bothers her mom. At any rate, Sister Patterson and Flav get in each other’s faces, with Sister Patterson then shoving Flav. Flav kicks Momma out. New York comments that though she loves her mom, her mom was wrong to push Flav. But it’s obvious to all where New York gets her, uh, personality. Yep, that’s the kindest way I can put it.
#12. Sgt Harvey vs. Duston Diamond (Season 5 of Celeb Fit Club)
Screech shows what an instigator he is. During a weigh-in, his castmates see a video of him promoting sex toys shaped off of his apparently long… appendage. In the video, Duston makes a comment that a castmate (Kimberly Locke) needs one of the toys. Hello, poor taste! At weigh-in, he also offers to hook up psychotherapist Stacy with one, then challenges Sgt Harvey to a fight. He’s a bright one, that Screech.
#11. Wendy the Snapple Lady vs. Gary Busey (Season 2 Celebrity Fit Club)
After his team wins a competition, Busey decides it’s time for a prayer. Wendy requests that the prayer not include Jesus but instead just say “God”. Busey gets irrationally offended by this, tells her to shut up, flips her the bird, etc. All with the spirit of Jesus in his heart, I’m sure.
#10. Freeloaders vs. Baio (Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant)
What starts off as Scott being grumpy about their very hungry Nanny, ends up with Rene standing on a balcony in very cute skully footie pjs, yelling at Scott. Then, at just the right moment, Freeloading Johnny B comes out on another balcony to shoosh Rene, as he is trying to sleep. Rene goes ballistic, yelling at Johnny B, “What the hell are you doing here?!” and demanding of Scott why he’s here. Scott had apparently forgotten to mention it to Rene, who then gives him an ultimatum: me, your child, our family, or go back to the life you had as a bachelor with your freeloading friends. Johnny B is unceremoniously escorted out of the house without even getting a chance to put his pants on.
#9. Stage Mom vs Stage Mom (I know My Kid’s a Star)
Rocky and GG fight a lot throughout the season. At one point, GG calls Rocky out on having a weave. Rocky laughs condescendingly and denies having a weave. GG goes on a hair-hunt, determined to find evidence of Rocky’s weave. It’s kind of gross because it involved a lot of digging in trash and bathrooms but GG is rewarded by finding the sections of cut-off weave. *gag*
#8. Animal Lover vs Animal Eater (Rock of Love Season 1)
Lacey (see # 18) mocks Dallas for her carnivorous ways. Dallas and Lacey actually get dressed for battle—Lacey in a PETA tee, Dallas in any animal product she can find (leather, fur). Dallas pushes Lacey in various parts of the house, smacking Lacey’s head into a kitchen counter, the wall, etc. until Rodeo steps in and pulls a still-taunting Lacey off of Dallas.
#7. Janice Dickinson vs. Omarosa (Surreal Life 5)
Anyone who is familiar with either of these ladies knows that each considers herself to be an Alpha Kitty. At some point, Omarosa tells Janice to shut the f*ck up; Janice later tries to pose with a giant butcher knife behind Omarosa during a photo shoot. Omarosa doesn’t approve of this for some reason. Omarosa later hears Janice say something about a pedophile, which leads her to make the comment that she feels sorry for Janice’s kids because she must be an awful mother. Janice, at first, pretends she doesn’t care about Omarosa’s comments and then goes in the house and bawls. Another castmate explains to Omarosa the full story—that Janice had been talking about how she was molested as a pedophile when she was a young girl. Omarosa says that, had she known this from the beginning, it may have changed the way she chose to interact with Janice. However, since she didn’t know, she says Janice got what was coming to her. CLASSY. Janice Dickinson is suddenly a much more sympathetic character!
#6. H-Town vs Saaphyri (Flavor of Love, Season 2)
Approximately 15 minutes after entering the house, Saaphyri picks a fight with contestant H-Town over a bed. After the fight is broken up, the girls are left in the same room to try to work out their differences or something. Saaphyri starts praying out loud, “Lord, please forgive me for beating this bitch ass today.” Saaphyri then tells H-Town she shouldn’t hit her anymore and then Saaphyri won’t hit her anymore, either. H-Town, thinking she’s dealing with a mental case says, “But you hit me first!” Saaphyri then says, “Stop before the Lord tells me to whoop your ass again.” Shockingly, Flav kicked Saaphyri out after reviewing taped footage and deciding S had started the fight. Sidenote: Saaphyri went on to win Flavor of Love: Charm School. Okay…
#5. Alexis Arquette vs. Haters (Season 6 of Surreal Life)
While out on the town, transgendered star Alexis Arquette gets sick of being taunted and shows her masculine side by fight back verbally with “the haters.” At one point, she grabs a large umbrella and goes after a taunter. She also throws her gum but says she didn’t go full-out because she didn’t want to damage her face because it’s her money maker.
#4. Ron Jeremy vs. Vanilla Ice (Surreal life: Fame Games)
Despite a previous pact, Ron eliminates Vanilla Ice. Vanilla then throws and smashes up a drum set, screams “backstabber!” in Ron’s face. In general, he acts like a spoiled toddler brat.
#3. Bonaduce vs. Everyone (Breaking Bonaduce)
Upon finding out that his wife, Gretchen, is going to have strippers at her b-day party, Bonaduce goes nuts. According to Gretchen, he “went medieval like I’ve never seen before.” He goes off on the producers, saying they should have asked his permission. He eventually jumps in a passerby’s car, who speeds off with him. Though Bonaduce asks to be taken to Gretchen’s party, the driver takes Bonaduce to his home, instead, saving the stripper’s lives.
#2. Tailor Made vs Buddha (Season 2 of I Love NY)
Again, Tailor? You’re too little and too white to be fighting with these guys! Anyway, Buddha decides he’s going to take up for a castmate that Tailor pissed off or some such thing. Buddha throws orange juice on Tailor Made, and head-butts him. Buddha continues to chase Tailor, who looks like he’s going to poop his pants, he’s so scared. One castmate describes Tailor’s head as getting bounced off the wall “like a basketball.” Buddha even starts to strangle the pretty boy but the camera crew steps in to save his life. Yay?
#1. New York vs. Pumkin (Flavor of Love Season 1)
A.K.A. The Spit Heard ‘Round the World. When Pumkin was eliminated, NY was very happy. Pumkin alls her a fat a*s, saying NY gained 20 pounds during the course of the season. Pumkin positions herself in front of NY and spits on her. NY goes after her, shoves her, takes off a shoe, but doesn’t get a chance to hit her. At the reunion show, things get uglier between the two. NY does attempt to hit Pumkin but Security blocks the hit and Pumkin runs and cowers. During a “debate”, the two are placed opposite each other but NY knocks a fake wall divider thing out of the way and goes after Pumkin again. Hmmm… I think I understand now why NY didn’t choose Buddha in Season 2 of I Love New York. She didn’t want to be the nicer of the two!
In conclusion, I just want to thank VH1 for making me feel better about my life.
The latest issue (June 6, 2008) of Entertainment Weekly has an extensive Summer TV Preview. You can’t have a TV preview without including reality shows. Here is a quick look at some of the reality shows that caught my eye.
30 Days - FX, June 3, 10PM: The third season of Morgan Spurlock’s show will include a hunter sent to live with an LA-based family of PETA supporters.
Celebrity Circus - NBC, June 11, 9:30PM: Celebrities attempting to fly on a trapeze? Enough said.
I Survived a Japanese Game Show - ABC, June 24, 9PM: Japanese-style game shows are hilarious, and it will be great to see the Americanized version.
Project Runway - Bravo, July TBD: One more season of “Make it work!” before the series moves to the Lifetime Channel. Will it be the best season ever? Or a final “screw you” to Bravo?
Hurl -G4, July 15, 9PM: It’s a show about people eating too much and then…well…isn’t it obvious? It seems gross but I’m oddly fascinated.
Luke’s Parental Advisory - VH1, August 4, 10PM: Luther Campbell was a former 2 Live Crew rapper, and he now runs an “adult-themed production company.” How many times will they sneak “Me So Horny” into each episode?
The Cho Show - VH1, August 21 TBD: Margeret Cho is back on television, and her parents make the occasional cameo. I predict good times.
Continuing from where they left off last week:
Back in the dorms, Matt was kissing the rest of the red teams asses (mainly) Cory because he was up for elimination, Bobby and another team member were complaining about Jen.
The challenge:
Make three separate meals but the catch is only one cook can be in the kitchen at a same time. Scallops, chicken, I missed the third dish they had to cook.
They only get six minutes each in the kitchen and 15 seconds at the swicth to explain what they did and what needs to be done. The whole point of this challenge is for the team members to learn to communicate with eachother.
Jen decided her, Petrozza and Bobby would do the challenge, the red team picked Matt, Christina, and Cory (since that it all they had). Louross did not really want to sit this one out but he did not want to get blamed if the blue team lost again.
The other cooks had to watch while their fellow contestants were cooking. Most the time the complaining and nit-picking about how the others were cooking.
The blue team had there shit together, at least that is what is looked like. It seemed like red was not going to make the finish time. In the end they all got their dishes up to the window.
The Red team forgot the salad, the blue teams eggs were over cooked and the scallops were raw. Of course Jen was insisting that they were cooked perfectly. lol. This dish went to the red team (1 red, 0 blue)
The Red teams was okay, blue team burned their sauce and left it off the dish, Chef Ramsey asked why they could not of quickly made more but in the end Ramsey said well done. The blue team got that one (1 red, 1 blue)
The red team forgot the bay leaf in the chicken dish. The Blue forgot the sauce. Chef Ramsey said both pieces of chicken tasted good (moist) and were cooked nicely. The winning dish is going to be determined by which left out ingredient Ramsey thinks is the most important: the sauce, or bay leaf? I would say the sauce, who really likes bay leafs anyways.
After the commercial, I found out that Chef Ramsey agreed with me, annoucing the red team had won. As reward, the red team gets to go to the beach and the blue team has to clean Hell’s Kitchen (as punishment).
Blue team had to clean stuff like the sign outside. While they were doing that, the blue team had to watch them leave. That is about as funny as them having a lossing team member serve the winning team, lol.
They were not having fun cleaning. Jen and bobby were having words because she was complaining and Bobby told her to get over it. She has to know that if they lose later tonight she is going up for elmination.
Red team got a surfing lesson from some famous surfer. Surfing is not easy (I’ve done it), first timers should just be happy not to make a fool of them selves.
(Thank god they worn wet-suits and not bathing suits. who would want to see Matt in a speedo, lol.)
While at the beach, Chef Ramsey picked up jean-Philippe and tossed him into the ocean; I am surprised he could pick him up.
When the red team was returning to Hell’s Kitchen, Louross got upset when the red team walked over his freshly cleaned carpet. Boo-Whoo, it is a carpet and they get dirty. However I will cut him some slack because he had to deal with Jen.
For tonight dinner service, the cooks are told they get to make their own menus.
The red team easily put their menu together and they did it together, unlike the blue team. Jen shot down almost every suggestion that did not come from her. You could just see the frustration in the faces of the other blue team members. If the blue team losses tonight you know she is going to be put up for nomination. However that may backfire, because I do not think Chef Ramsey would send her home over one of the other cooks on the blue team: example Louross.
Chef Ramsey liked the red teams menu (there was to much for me even to mention, they had a lot of fancy ingredients).
As the blue team read the menu to Chef Ramsey was making all kinds of faces. You could tell he did not like was he was hearing. After they got to revive the menu the way everyone but Jen had wanted it was a good menu and was okayed by Chef Ramsey.
Jen is just so irritating.
Dinners tonight will have to choice of ordering from two menu’s (Red and Blue’s). The first dish to the window was too salty and Ramsey made them all taste it. If I remember from the commercials Matt is supposed to sweat into the food.
Petrozza put lettuce on something without washing it and Chef Ramsey caught him. Bad, Bad, Petrozza.
The red teams food was coming back with complaints of it being to salty. This is what the commercials were promoting. That is just wrong. The fact that the other two cooks on the red team had to try residotto all-a-matt (the dish Matt sweated into) is disgusting.
1 hour and 15 minutes into dinner service, most of the entrees were out (except the ones that came back).
Cory kicked Matt off that station so they could get the people some regularly salted food, lol.
Louross sent out raw meat (how did it get passed Chef Ramsey), Chef Ramsey said if one more steaks comes back the blue kitchen is getting shut down.
Matt messed up the station he was “transferred” too. However when he was demoted again (to cleaner donkey, lol) Cory and Christina got things in the red kitchen back on track.
It was not big surprise that the blue team lost. They have more people then the red team. If the red team lost another cook, they would only have two and the blue with four.
Petrozza being the best of the worst, had to pick the nominees for tonight. He nominated Louross and Jen.
Finally we get to see the “thing he (Chef Ramsey) had never done before”, from the preview of this weeks show on last weeks show, he asked Petrozza who he thought should go home. Petrozza said Louross and Chef Ramsey told him he was going home 
(I am sure that I was not the only one yelling at the TV when Louross was sent home before Jen.)
Chef Ramsey told Matt to stand up next to Jen and to take off their jackets like they were going home too. At that point I thought Chef Ramsey was going to send them both home and merge what was left of the two teams. However, he put Jen back on the red team and Matt on the blue, so it was girls against boys again.
Read FOX’S Recap!!
They ask Chef Ramsey what he thinks about the quality of Hell’s Kitchen contestant, and his other show Kitchen Nightmare’s (just finished shooting the newest season).
Before reading this interview I had no idea that Chef Ramsey has kids (four in fact).
Excerpt from TvGuide’s interview: Read the rest of it by clicking here!
“TV Guide: There seems to be a considerable lack of culinary talent this season.…
Gordon Ramsay: Characters have to be flamboyant and funny, but you know they could be on the verge of a liability. That’s my battle with Fox — they want to run a show, and I a restaurant.“
They ain’t kidding when they say lack of culinary talent!!
