Last night’s “Hell’s Kitchen” featured a Sweet 16 dinner service instead of the usual fine dining experience. The teams would have to cook for a young girl’s party and please both the girl and her demanding mom.

The show started off with Ramsay and the chefs at a farmer’s market, where they had to gather ingredients and then cook one appetizer and two entrees for the girl and her mom to sample. This was the challenge of the day.

The red team (women) made shrimp scampi appetizer, Caribbean halibut and flank steak; the blue team (guys) made stuffed chicken wings, shrimp and sweet potatoes, and surf and turf. In a narrow margin, the guys won. Finally. And they got to celebrate by acting like kids with Ramsay all day–racing go-carts was just one of their activities. The ladies, meanwhile, had to deal with the flaming party planner and help prepare for the event.

During the dinner service, Roseann and Matt were both struggling, and both were called out by Ramsay–Roseann for undercooking the girl’s steak, and Matt for overcooking the mom’s fish. Yikes. But Matt has become a whiney, annoying, (for lack of a better term) bitch. I mean, he looks like he’s going to cry every time he’s on camera. He’s also one of those cancerous type employees that is always stirring up controversy by badmouthing everyone else.

But overall, the teams did well. The kids attending the party had to submit comment cards, and the guys scored 96% and the ladies 99%. So Ramsay declared that there was no losing team. However, someone had to be eliminated.

The guys nominated Matt (big surprise) and the ladies nominated Shaina. Who? Does anyone know who Shaina is??? Maybe that’s why she was nominated. Anyway, Ramsay thought Roseann should be added to the mix and asked her to step forward too. Then Matt whined his way back in, saying he would gladly go to the red team and that then the blue team would be exposed for having no talent.
I knew then that Ramsay would keep him around just for that. And he did, eliminating Shaina. Who? Yeah, that’s what I thought too.

This competition is still way up in the air, but one thing is for sure. There are some huge egos among this group. And I mean HUGE.

See you all next week!
