Last week on “Hell’s Kitchen,” we saw red team chef Melissa try to sabotage her team, and after getting a reprieve and a chance with the blue team, she started the show by saying “I will never sabotage you guys.” Meanwhile, Bonnie was trying to rally her team, saying it was the girls’ time to shine now that Melissa was on the other side.
So the challenge was pulling live lobsters out of a tank, and then cooking a dish in 30 minutes for chef Ramsey. Josh had to sit out to make the teams even. The red team prepared simple dishes, but they were effective. The blue team was a bit more adventurous, but Melissa choked and Brad’s bisque wasn’t as good as Jen’s, so the red team won. And what they won was a photo shoot with In Touch Magazine…..yeah, tell me Ramsey didn’t purposely let the red team win that one! The blue team, meanwhile, had to pull plastic and glass bottles out of the trash and put them in recycling bins. Yuck.
Rock was pissed, and rightly so….but it got worse when Ramsey made Rock come down to the photo shoot and take the trash out there too. Side note….Jen is not pretty, and this photo shoot did her no favors….and Bonnie is cute enough to have a career in TV after this…if she bows out, the Food Network should look at her…seriously.
At the dinner service, there were flashes of brilliance from the red team, as they were slowly getting most of their dishes out. But the blue team was struggling as usual. Melissa was a mess and it became clear she would be the first to go tonight. But Josh seems to have problems every week as well…and last night he messed up mashed potatoes….I mean, almost any amateur cook can make mashed potatoes!
Eventually, dishes started to be sent back to the kitchen and Ramsey had to shut the kitchen down.
The blue team was the losing team, and Ramsey asked all four of them to go and nominate two for elimination. Before that, though, he made a comment to Josh that he has never done well in a dinner service.
So the team nominated Melissa (duh) and Josh. But even before Ramsey asked for the nominations, he threw a curveball by telling Melissa to get out of Hell’s Kitchen….that she had another chance and blew it. Thankfully, that annoying chick is gone, because I couldn’t stand her stupid New York accent or that Scott Spiezio thing on her chin anymore.
Then, not surprisingly, Ramsey said he wasn’t done. (Come on, I said…I’m missing the home run derby!)……he asked Josh and Brad to step forward. Then, after the commercial break, told both Brad and Josh to get back in line. Hmm….is he ever going to eliminate two at once? Or is the show going to go one extra week? Either way, it’s heating up. Keep an eye on Rock….that dude, if he keeps his composure, is the best cook there and knows his way around a kitchen. We’ll see what happens I guess…..for now, I’m off to pull bottles out of my trash.
