So is anyone watching Hell's Kitchen. I am and I am loving the new intro. Too funny. Corey is on everyone's hit list for her much too early strategic nominations. You don't nominate two of the better chefs this early in the game. She better watch out because her first mistake could lead to her nomination and ultimately elimination.
This week is chicken week. They are awaken by a dorm full of live chickens and Chef Ramsey calling them downstairs. Funny segment watching them chase the chickens around trying to catch them. Ramsey leads them to believe he will be slaughtering the chickens. He tells them the purpose of this exercise is to respect the products they use in cooking. Reward challenge is to cut up a chicken into 8 perfect pieces. He gives them 5 minutes. Looks like Craig will be the weak link for the men and Shana will be the women's weak spot. I agree with Jason...it's a chicken. Who cares if one piece is not perfect. I know I don't go to the grocery store and look at each piece of chicken to see which ones are just right
The girls get 44 out of 48 perfectly cut pieces of chicken. The guys do not fare so well. Craig loses it for them with only get 2 pieces. The guys learn as losers they will be picking peppers out in the sun while the girls and Ramsey will be going out to visit a famous restaurant on Sunset Strip
The guys look like Farmer Dan when they come out to head to the pepper farm and they are loaded onto a run down old school bus. Whereas the ladies and Ramsey enjoy a luxury ride in a smooth tour bus. They get to their destination, The Saddle Ranch, and to Ramsey delight or dismay, he finds out that last years crier, Aaron is a regular at this restaurant. Ramsey is in shock and says he feels like crying. Ramsey looks turned on when the girls ride the mechanical bull, especially when Corey rides. We get a of the guys in the field hard at work and throwing peppers at Craig
Back at Hell's Kitchen that night, the girls begin their flirting with the guys from the hot tub. Corey tries to get Ben in the hot tub but that falls flat. Instead Jason takes a dip with the girls to the dismay of the guys team. They ply him with beer and food and get him talking about who on the men's team is causing problems. He let's them know (hello stupid) that Craig is the one that everyone is after. The guys are not liking him being a rat, so maybe just maybe Craig may get a stay of execution. Ben says it best when he says "We are not here to play grab ass, we are here to win a competition"......
Back in the kitchen for dinner service, the girls appear to be trying to work as a team. But in the guy's kitchen Craig is having a hard time keeping his mind focused. He looks to be in a daze and not knowing what's what. Bobby and JP is put on table side service while Jason is put on dessert. Ramsey asks him to name the desserts, which he can't do. He is told to go study the dessert menu.
Read team (girls team) starts off wrong with a Cesarsalad and Ramsey says "Welcome Back pregnant doges from Hell". The first appetizer for the men gets rave reviews at first until Ramsey realizes the bacon is missing. Ramsey sends the order out without the bacon. Back to the girls side and they are moving appetizers. LouRoss goes to get Jason back from his studying. He again can not recite the dessert menu. He tells Ramsey he is done and wants to go home. I think Jason is similar to my daughter when it comes to tests. She knows the material when she studies but sometimes will freeze up on tests, especially standardized tests.
2 hours into dinner service and Craig is still struggling with getting bacon done. Ramsey gives Jason another chance to recite the dessert menu and this time he comes thru.
Entrees start coming to the pass for the girls kitchen, however the beef is raw thanks to Vanessa. She breaks down and has to leave the kitchen. The men's first entrees start out wrong with burnt salmon. Bobby decides to take matters into his own hands to satisfy his customers by serving them some of the chicken special.
The girls nearly catch the kitchen on fire and burn the filets to a crisp. Personally I would have eaten it. Never let a good filet go to waste
Back at the dessert station for the men, Jason is clueless. He is having trouble with the souffle's sticking and decides to try a new way of cooking them. This leads to Ramsey beating his head against a table. Ben attempts to pass raw salmon by Ramsey but it's a no go. This is enough to push Ramsey over the edge. There is no winning team. Christina is the best of the worst for the women and will have to nominate one women. Petrozza is elected to choose the weak link of the men's team. Looks like it could be Corey or Vanessa for the women and Jason or Craig for the men
Back int he kitchen and it's time to reveal those up for elimination. Petrozza nominates Jason because he thinks he has trouble with communication and cooking skills. Christina nominatesVanessa (hey Vanessa, duck from that knife she just threw at ya), because of her problems on the meat station. Each get their respective time to tell Ramsey why they should stay. Vanessa cries and Jason makes excuses. Ramsey says that Vanessa is stone cold during service. It's like talking to a refrigerator (ouch). Leaving tonight is Jason, but Ramsey tries to fool us by saying Vanessa's name first and then adding, "you've got one more chance".
Jason thinks the waterworks by Vanessa worked in her favor and tells us he will not cry over this but he will go get drunk
Next week, Craig is on the hit list again and the men turn on him and Corey leaves her station to go rest in the dorms. What the hell is this girl thinking. It's also a first in Hell's Kitchen next week, with Family Night. A restaurant full of kids.....lo.
Craig has enough and snaps back at Ramsey....well that should be good for some fireworks. And when the kitchen catches on fire (yeah right) one chef is burned so badly that he or she may never cook again. I will have to see that to believe it.
until next week when the chefs will have to flame the fire in Hell
