Flipit you Bloody Donkey!!!!!1 Recap this!

[Jashba]

I am counting the days until the return........................

[Pekmboyd]

Hey guys - I let MadeYouLaugh know that there is interest in having Flipit recap this, of course that will mostly depend on whether Flipit wants to :)

[flipit]

hey i just squeezed out a real life tear! thanks you guys. i have never watched this show, so i don't know if i'm a good choice. and giff what are you TALKIN about? i am starting top chef 3 the week after AI!!! two cookin shows?

thanks for the thoughts, you made me smile.

LOVE

[giffordsaz]

I am glad you are picking up TC3...... I thought another recapper had called out they had it.... but even if you don't cap Gordon... you have to watch him.... he is the chef in the kitchen....... screaming bullshit... and other favorite comments at the chefs as they try to get the food out..... he makes grown men cry... nothing I like better than that.

[campfiregirl]

As a fan of reality TV you really should watch Gordon scream "You bloody donkey" at least once. If Flipit does do both shows it would rock!!

[Ryabusa]

12) Ryabusa

Goddamn I love this fucking show.

Anyone watch his shows on the BBC America? I saw somewhere that they are doing an American version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare for the fall. Any fans of Hell's Kitchen should check them out. And while he does scream at people, he is a lot less of a character on those shows and pretty f'n funny.

[giffordsaz]

I am sitting back after watching the first of season 3 and wondering the following::::

Did FOX just take the short bus from my high school and pick up some of the same kids >>> years later?

Where did they find the Asain guy that cried his eyeballs out... and will he live more that two weeks in this kitchen?

Is the kidney patient a plant?

Could these women have been pissy to each other?

How do they ever run out of .............
food........?
Vegtable stock.....?
Brains.........?

When you get no food to eat at Hell's Kitchen... do you then go to Dennys?

Did Ramsey's Sou Chef get freaking pissed tonight too?

Was this a GREAT show or what?

I agreed with the person who got kicked.... had to go..... back stabber of grand porportions!

So tell what you thought..... I for one am happily settling into super summer programming.

[Firecat]

So glad Tiffany is gone, what a fuckin' bitch. I was cracking up that these morons couldn't even fry an egg. Green risotto? Yum.

The other girl that was picked for elimination kinda reminded me of Vivica Fox...just less hot.

So far my faves are Bonnie and Melissa (who looks kind of like Lauren Holly). BTW, i'm basing this on looks mostly (entirely).

Did you see in the face of the African American Chef... no clue what his name is... when he came forward to present his 'signature dish' he had the gap tooth Melinda gee whiz look... he looked exactly like her... strange!

[Ryabusa]

And BITCHIER, if that's even possible.

I can't believe we are lucky enough to get another week of that blubbering 48 year old Asian cowboy. Holy shit, I never thought I would describe someone like that.

So, who will be recapping this? Did I miss that?

[giffordsaz]

I think you may be missing the converstatin in other threads.. but
Flipit is recapping Top Chef 3
Schoonie is recapping Big Brother
Treadonme was suppose to recap Hell's Kitchen but it seems to have fallen through...

I would nominate TheBossOfYou, but she has never done it for TVGasm before and it may not be something she wants to do... but she can write with snark.... go to her Charm School mini review and you can see she has talent.....

[Schoonie]

I never said I was recapping Big Brother! Where'd you get that idea?

[coolbyrne]

Christmas has come early! Hell's Kitchen is back!

You know, I can see why they wouldn't let Waffle House (Julia) cook an egg. I mean, she's probably only cooked one or A MILLION in her employment! Duh.

Already, Gordon will have to try hard to beat what should be the phrase of the season- "Hell's Bitches". I missed you, Chef!

Oh, and this is for the Asian Marlboro Man: :cowboy:

Vinnie, who doesn't know what "rubbish" means, thinks stock is the same as water, but had the smarminess to refer to Gordon as a shar pei (okay, I admit, I laughed) needs to get GRRR's size 15's up his ass.

Other than that, they're all just fodder for my mean-girl pleasure. Fuckin' donkeys.

[likris]

Love you Gordon. Who chooses these idiots. I wouldn't let any of them cook dinner for my worst enemy. Well let me rethink that. Yes, especially my husband's exwife. Can't wait to see the guys get down on Aaron for being such a wimp. I bet he wears ladie's panties too.

[angiemarie]

Fuck me, but I love Gordon Ramsey.

The girls team looks like a bunch of back-stabbing mean girls. Why wouldn't they let the short order cook make the quail eggs? I'm sure she has the most experience cooking fried eggs for heaven's sake.

And what was it that tasted like gnat's piss? It looked like water.

[Ryabusa]

Well someone had better get on it, or I'll do it myself. You'll be able to read it at www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts Check it out.

[Schoonie]

Amazing. My roommate and I paused that episode to read Creed's blog and were cracking up. My favorite part:

"What do you guys think is the best kind of car? To me, you can't beat motorcycles. They're small, and dangerous."

also:

"Last week at beach day, we were standing around these hot coals and some woman I have literally never seen before in my life starting yapping about something regarding Halpert."

[Ryabusa]

"some woman I have literally never seen before in my life" made literally laugh out loud. I think I even choked on something when I read it. The fact that he names "Halpert" in the same sentence makes it even funnier. Creed is fantastic.

[giffordsaz]

I never said I was recapping Big Brother! Where'd you get that idea?

I got it from Flipit... he said you were team recapping BB.... you better check with him... because you seem to be doing it.
Glad you were the first to know... i love your recaps by the way... what you don't want to write for us addicts? You want us to read some inferior writer? You don't care about us.... hhhhhmmmmm?:tonguewag:

HoneyGangsta seems to have the assignment... i hope she is timley... I hate to wait 5 or 6 days for a recap (yeah, I;m talkng to YOU, but you know I love you...I just hate to wait, xoxox)

[giffordsaz]

IS ANYONE RECAPPING HELL'S KITCHEN REALLY -****** REALLY BECAUSE I SEE WEEK TWO COMING UP AND NO RECAP... should i be almost in the drunk posts.... ****.

[Ryabusa]

I am pretty sure she did the recap of episode 1. Either I read it or that was a wickedly disappointing dream.

[lennonwhore]

I thought I saw it too...so maybe i.m dreaming too?

[Ryabusa]

You're a dreamer. But don't worry, you aren't the only one.

[giffordsaz]

WEll then (grinning sheepishly....) I'll go find it... sorry for the melt down........

And one other thing..... I bet I commented on it too!


And a last thing.. my recording of last nights show stopped right after he kicked the guys out of the kitchen..... I freaked out... but to no avail.. nothing was working... so what happened?
Who went to the hospital????
Did the girls get the dinner out?
did the insane cowboy get the boot??
did the boots have spurs on them????
tell me please!!!!

[Ryabusa]

No one went to the hospital, those fuckers are teasing that, yet again, for next week. The girls busted their asses and finished the whole service! I think that is the first time since the show started that they got through a whole service before the fifth or sixth week. Chunky Monkey didn't even get nominated to go! rock got to pick the nominations and I really believe that the producers told him he wasn't allowed to pick Aaron. That dude is pure gold. So he nominated Eddie and Joshua. Gordon picked Eddie, told him to take his coat off, and then, in one of his most beautifully, decadently, flat-out mean moments just said: "Now fuck off." I rewound it like five times and laughed harder every time.

[giffordsaz]

Thank you... the show is rigged if the Asian Cowboy did not go home........ what a crazy insane... "i think i passed out" freak!-- next week if he dies it will be the producers fault because they left his incapable ass there. And I would never have eaten that Dover Sole he was boning at the table.... eeewwww. get me a cracker i would rather choke.

[JulieM]

Oh hells bells I forgot about this last night.

[Ryabusa]

I don't think I could eat anything if he was boning at the table!

[lennonwhore]

i was thinking the same thing, rya! maybe i.m pervy that way.

the woman were AMAZING, but i really wanted the asian cowboy to go home. seriously, i would not eat something from a man who was perspiring that heavily in front of me!

[giffordsaz]

I don't think I could eat anything if he was boning at the table!

hahaahahahahahaahahahahahhahaaaahahahahahahaahahah aa
I never thought of what I wrote, well, i thought it, then wrote it, but yeah... it never met in my mind.:D

[Ryabusa]

Unfortunately, it met in my mind. It met with my sensors of abject horror and raging nausea.

[tenacious z]

Gordon picked Eddie, told him to take his coat off, and then, in one of his most beautifully, decadently, flat-out mean moments just said: "Now fuck off." I rewound it like five times and laughed harder every time.

same here! it just got funnier each time.
i can't believe the asian cowboy didn't go home.

[Ryabusa]

Z, I'm honored that your first post was in response to something I said. Now fuck off. ;)

[giffordsaz]

Ry, your Ramsey is showing.. be nice to the newbie, you were one weeks ago...!
Welcome Z... now go introduce your self properly in the chatty area of the forums...... pronto!

[tenacious z]

ahhh, what a welcome. thank you ry. :cool:

[Ryabusa]

It was in jest, I assure you.

Unless you are really that four-eyed little freak of a nerd Eddie.

Wow. That was mean. But I have to admit I stole that from the British version of The Office and I've been meaning to refer to Eddie as that for weeks. I just realized that may have been my last chance. And again, all in good fun. I'm reasonably certain you are not Eddie.

[RachWho?]

I just watched this show for the first time ever last night and I am not sure what to think. Given that I was laid up most of the day with a raging migraine and I found it somewhat entertaining, I guess that is somewhat of an endorsement. But frankly, none of these people seem very competent in a professional kitchen. Was it just an off night or are they all crappy cooks?

[Ryabusa]

For some reason they always seem to cast two competent cooks and a bunch of fucking nitwits. You can usually pick out the good ones early. I am betting Melissa and Rock to be the final two.

[Karo]

I couldn't believe that girl who took food out of the trash. And haven't any of these people ever heard of a sweatband? How much sweat am I eating when I eat out? Gross.

[JulieM]

I forgot this show again...I'm hopeless. I'm setting the DVR as soon as I type this. Sheeesh

[RachWho?]

I couldn't believe that girl who took food out of the trash. And haven't any of these people ever heard of a sweatband? How much sweat am I eating when I eat out? Gross.

That's why the food is so SALTY!

Read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain if you want the skinny on what really happens in professional kitchens. In fact, you might become extremely skinny after reading it, if you aren't already.

[tenacious z]

I couldn't believe that girl who took food out of the trash. And haven't any of these people ever heard of a sweatband? How much sweat am I eating when I eat out? Gross.

i've seen a lot of things on hell's kitchen that would qualify as "the most shocking event in hell's kitchen EVER!", but i really think that one took the cake. i could not believe someone took food out of the trash... and some other twit was going to serve rancid crabmeat?? where the hell is fox finding these cooks?

i'm rooting for the waffle house cook.

[Ryabusa]

The amazing thing about the crazy bitch that took the fod out of the garbage is that she KNEW she was being filmed for television. Really makes you worry about what she tries to get away with in a regular kitchen.

[giffordsaz]

I agree with the comment I read that there seem to be about 3 really good cooks on the show and the rest are just entertainment.... scary entertainment, but still...
who in the world would take food out of the trash.. well other than George Costaaaanza and his donut!

[giffordsaz]

with only one bite out of it right?

[RachWho?]

with only one bite out of it right?

Yup, and it was right on top of the garbage, and still in it's protective doily. Who throws away something as delicious as that?!?

[Krizzatch]

:lol:

:lol:

Hey--I just treasure delicious, cream-filled, chocolate-covered, French pastries. Doesn't mean I would eat it out of the trash. But what psycho throws it away? Throwing chocolate away should be a crime. And so should serving people pasta out of the trash. :D

[Ryabusa]

Actually, I am pretty certain that last one is.

[RachWho?]

Actually, I am pretty certain that last one is.

You should know, Mr. Policeman.

[Ryabusa]

It is. Not to mention the fact that any restaurant that got caught doing that would be shut down immediately by the health department. I have to think that if they got to the point that the dish was plated and taken up to him somebody would have stepped in and told Gordon so it didn't go out.

[giffordsaz]

okay, before we move on to this weeks disaster I thought about the spagetti incident and why she really should have gone home

1. It was Julia's station and she just decided to dump the spagetti why?

2. Julia didn't have time to say..'don't throw that out' before she quickley ran it over to the bin and dumped.

3. Who was she (wtf is her name?) to decide they had no more orders for spagetti?

4. Julia was just being handled once again by the pack of racist, classist bitches.

5. she pulled it out and thought that was fine.

6. she should have gone home........

and answer me this...
does the 'crew' parboil the spagetti?
because they seem to say they need 'three minutes' to cook more spagetti but it looks like to me that they handle dry when putting it in water.....
How come at home it take 11-13 minutes to cook dry noodles......
their water cannnot boil any hotter than mine.......
AND............
it time is such a huge ass factor why don't they simply use fresh noddles that are not dry.........
they cook very very fast!


on to the next show...........................

[ScotyUtah]

Why the fuck can't these people make a damned risotto correctly the first time? I swear, these people completely suck at cooking ANYTHING.

[RachWho?]

Why the fuck can't these people make a damned risotto correctly the first time? I swear, these people completely suck at cooking ANYTHING.

Holy shit, I totally agree! This is the first season I have watched, but these people suck. Hopefully as they weed out the complete wastes of spaces someone will be able to correctly time the cooking of a medium rare Wellington or a chicken breast. Dumbasses.

[giffordsaz]

yea, I couldn't belive barbie was so upset she couldn't remember tempetures last night....
that is food prep 101........
and I honestly thought they would weed out a little better before it got to this point....
I cannot understand them not being able to cook risotto, or stick a themometer in a piece of beef, or cook chicken till done and not have to slice it in half to check its done ness, or my goodness, cook a freakin egg.....
I wonder if they are really choosen on skills or just a group of fragile minds

[tenacious z]

they're all idiots. except julia.

[lennonwhore]

i <3 me some Julia!

[RachWho?]

they're all idiots. except julia.

i <3 me some Julia!

Julia is my favorite, too! She can serve mine scattered, smothered, covered, diced, peppered and capped anytime!

[JulieM]

Julia's my favorite too along with Rock or Brock...mind to foggy this morning.

[angiemarie]

i <3 me some Julia!

Me too. I'm definitely on Team Waffle House.

[Ryabusa]

I like Julia personally, but I certainly would not put her in charge of a fine dining restaurant. I'm not saying she doesn't have the potential to learn, but at this point, no. I'm favoring Melissa and Rock to get to the finals.

[Devoted Satellite]

After watching this show the past 3 weeks and reading these posts I just realized that I don't know the people's names on this show.

Ramsey calls them all "you idiot" or "you donkey" so much that I never hear people called by their actual name.

[RachWho?]

True...and I call them "Waffle House girl", "Barbie", "guy who speaks about himself in the first person"...

DS, I like avatar, but I miss little Vicki the robot. I have a serious 80's addiction, and seeing her always made me smile (plus, I really like you, so the smile was for that too!)

[Devoted Satellite]

Rach--thanks for the avvie love... it was time for a change for me. A friend of mine is going to an 80's themed party and I convinced her to dress up as Vickie.

Maybe we should start an 'awesome 80's' thread? Theres ALOT of shows and stuff from the 80s that i love and miss. Hmmmm..... that sounds like a project for a rainy day :)

[RachWho?]

I fully support an awesome 80's thread. It's a rainy day here--go for it! :)

I have thought many times about changing my avatar, but then I get sad. It's kind of like how I think about trading in my old, banged-up car (she has been in one major accident and has had a tree fall on her, and I don't have the money to do any real body work on her), but I almost cry when I actually come close and I just keep her around. I don't really drive her though. Except my avatar is not banged-up. She rocks.

[RachWho?]

So was it Melissa's soul patch last night that lead to her being switched to the men's team? What the hell was going on under that lower lip of hers?!?

At least it seemed like some of them (besides Melissa) were capable of cooking and serving food last night. Looks from the previews next week like our favorite Waffle House cook may go down in flames :(

[lennonwhore]

maybe its artful misdirection??

I was wondering the same thing about Melissa.s soul patch, it was confusing and distracting me to the point where I couldn.t focus. And why was her hair so large last night? It was taking over her whole body!!

[Ryabusa]

Anyone that watched Homicide will understand when I say that last night she reminded me of Det. Kay Howard. And that is not good.

[JulieM]

Maybe they should take up a collection for a razor and a hair net. Ewwwwwwwwww.

:(

straight up Herpes Symplex 1.....
I had two on my face my Junior year of high school....
Tried to cover them with makeup just like she did....
stress brings them out and I think if she does not go soon
this chick will be one very large walking Herpe Head.........

[chooch850]

This is my first year watching this show. I don't know any names either. I guess it doesn't matter. GR apparently doesn't give a shit who they are.

I have a question....are they there to learn to be chefs or are they chefs and they're there to learn to put out food quickly?.....while being screamed at and humiliated? It's entertaining but I have yet to see anything worth eating.

Julie....I agree, hair-nets on all these cooking shows should be a must..... and the fact that no one wears gloves is a strict health violation....but it's showbiz and I'm not eating it, so what do I care!

I thought Ramsey was gonna send Melissa right out the door when she went to the men's side to get some of their stuff cuz she spilled hers in water.....instead he ends up putting her on their team. Can't wait for the next episode!!!

DS....after Rach compliments you on your avatar, you changed it! I, personally, love Link more! He rocks!.... and in the 'other TV shows' thread, I think there is a topic on '80's shows. I remember everyone talking about them.

[RachWho?]

Chooch, I complimented her on her old avvie after she changed it to Link. Not that I don't love Link, but Vickie holds a special place in my heart.

Back on topic, though, some of them are supposedly already chefs in a sense...like sous chefs or line cooks, but none have their own restaurants nor do they appear to have a lot of experience, although Melissa took YEARS to learn ALL THE HERBS! (what? why? I knew most of them by the time I was a teenager thanks to the Frugal Gourmet) Others are not as trained in the chefery (see: Bonnie the Barbie Nanny).

I guess they are supposed to sharpen their skills and show that they are able to get quality food out quickly in a professional kitchen. Which so far I would say none of them have convinced me of.

[lennonwhore]

except Julia!!!

Chooch is right - we do have an 80's thread, I can dig it up if you guys want.

I was wondering the same thing about Melissa.s soul patch, it was confusing and distracting me to the point where I couldn.t focus. And why was her hair so large last night? It was taking over her whole body!!

I loved when Gordon ripped on her and called her a cavewoman (I think) which had to be a dig on that wild scary hair of hers.

Thanks for putting HK on the main page.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

My pleasure.

Btw, I meant to mention this earlier....what kind of fool would hold their wedding reception in Hell's Kitchen? Would you really want to risk someone's sweat in your food? And do you want to have your best man's speech drowned out by Gordon tearing someone a new arsehole?

[lennonwhore]

a fool who wants a kick ass honey moon??

[ScotyUtah]

a fool who wants a kick ass honey moon??

By kick ass, you mean the Green Valley Resort or whatever that place is? Man, I certainly hope that isn't where they take the honeymoon. Jeebus!!

[giffordsaz]

I know I saw a preview with the bride in tears by the show never played that out..... and who has menu's at a wedding reception... honestly.....
and as bad as missing a massage would be I would have had fun decorating the dining room for the wedding, well, if I could have taped melissas mouth shut,(lets put the same almond colors in each net bag... good for Julia and her speaking up...NO Bitch) but the guys had to prep both kitchens, eat nasty food... clean fish.... the chicks got off easy in my book.

[Ryabusa]

but the guys had to prep both kitchens, eat nasty food... clean fish.... the chicks got off easy in my book.
I said the exact same thing to my wife when we were watching. the girls got to pack almonds in chiffon (or something), the guys had to eat stomach lining.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I said the exact same thing to my wife when we were watching. the girls got to pack almonds in chiffon (or something), the guys had to eat stomach lining.

I'd almost rather eat stomach lining then listen to Miss Soul Patch babble on and on about how she is carrying the team.

[giffordsaz]

Ms. Soul Patch is going to get stabbed in the middle of the night.... how can EVERYONE in the house want to kill you on what week 3???
Gordon Ramsay is no dummy... he knows good TV and he put her in the man's camp jst to screw with what would have been a team hard to beat....
and yes her hair must be contained... but did you all notice last week... the ponytail... no ponytail editing.... she did wear it back when things got busy... but with edits she had it back and down about 4 times..... she reminded me of a hag witch........ hate!
really how long will it take for a 3 foot hair to be hanging off a meatball??????

[Bond Girl]

HATE HATE HATE. Why the hell didn't any of the girls tell Melissa to shut the F up? I was actually screaming at me TV! Then when given the opportunity to tell her she sucks ass and needs to shut the F up, they bitch amongst themselves and let her off the hook AGAIN.

Good TV my ass. The viewers get sick of this crap and the producers better get their shit together. This may have worked in TV reality of past, but now it just makes viewers turn the channel.

Also, wasn't this the girliest epi ever? Girly reward and girly "punishment". I'd decorate a wedding hall all night over humping and peeling 1000 lbs of taters and onions or eating offal.

OMG - chooch. Just saw the #90 post with the HK smileys. PRICELESS!!!! Marry me. Or at least tell me where to get them.

[coolbyrne]

As much as it pained me to see Melissa get a second chance last week, Gordon totally made up for it this week with his curt dismissal of her. I mean, he didn't give her a second to say a word. "Step forward. Give me your jacket. Fuck off." (paraphrased)

And I wish I could explain it, but that man is dead sexy, particularly outside the kitchen. That photo shoot? Dead fuckin' sexy.

"Jen, careful where you roll that pizza cutter." :lol:

[chooch850]

The lobster challenge was different. I never liked killing them either. But the guys having to sort trash was a bit extreme......the guys fell apart after that. Those mashed potatoes DID suck. Were they instant? At least Melissa proved she sucked no matter what team she was on, but I thought maybe one of the guys would go too. Next week looks like fun.

BondGirl, welcome to our forums. Please feel free to introduce yourself in our "Introduce Yourself" thread, you too Coolbryne!!! I got my dancing smileys from someone in another forum. I just right clicked on it and saved it to 'my pictures' folder and then uploaded to my photobucket. That's all you need to do.

I agree, it was good to have her ripped down to size on her way out since Melissa was so high on herself in her interviews. I guess they kept her around that extra week to make up for the week they lost 2 people (aaron dropped out?).

And i agree, Gordon's accent is very sexy. And theres something about someone that critical and demanding that is a turn on and it just makes me want to please him. He reminds me of Simon Cowell.

[JulieM]

I was so scared that Julia was going to get it last night as the ads teased. I hope she wins. She's my favorite still.

So glad to see Melissa go bye bye. I loved it when they called a meeting and said "not you!" Hilarious.

[coolbyrne]

And theres something about someone that critical and demanding that is a turn on and it just makes me want to please him. He reminds me of Simon Cowell.

I find the difference is, Simon tends to be critical often just for the sake of being an asshole. While I don't seem to mind it so much in the later stages of the show, in those early rounds, when there are a lot of people who don't have a hope in hell of making it and should just get a simple, "No thank you" (because what is the point of cutting them down?), I often find it excruciating to watch. Whereas I think with Gordon, we don't have to see those painful early rounds- the donkeys we see have already been chosen out of a pool of donkeys, so when they get yelled at, I think, "Well, you made it this far; you had to know what you were getting into."

The other difference I find is, a man having a passion for food is much more attractive than a man having a passion for money. I don't believe for a second that Simon is remotely interested in finding talent- he's interested in finding a money-maker. Whereas, whether it's true or not, I believe Gordon is genuinely interested in finding someone who is equally passionate about food as he is. The money he makes is nice, to be sure, but I never get the feeling that's why he's in the business.

And, well, I've met Gordon and he is sex on a stick. :tongue_smilie:

Heh. He was doing a book signing on my last day in London back in October. I nearly missed my plane back to Canada that day. He called me "my darling" (okay, so he called every woman that- let me bask in the moment, will you?) and kissed me on both cheeks. I gave him a version of

[JulieM]

Was that great last night to see Julia kick all their asses with her New York Strip and shrimp?????

[chooch850]

What a great episode......I agree Julie, Julia kicked ass last nite and I hope she wins too. That Roc is such a snooty, pretentious ass-wipe.... Chef, my ass!
Being a short-order cook for many years myself, I know how Julia feels. We may not know all that fancy crap, but we can hustle and put out some food in a short amount of time. I've always been proud of that fact.

[JulieM]

I cannot for the life of me stand Rock. I liked him at first but he has turned into an asshole. And if they were smart last night, they would have put him up and he would have beat Bonnie.

[chooch850]

Bonnie was kinda sweet don't ya think?

[Ryabusa]

I liked Bonnie. A lot.

[lennonwhore]

i have hope that Rock will self-destruct next week, the previews kind of hint at it...please!

[LonnaSaur]

Bonnie was kinda sweet don't ya think?

Yeah. Now there's no more hot chicks.

[giffordsaz]

I'll give sweet to Bonnie but she was not cut out to run a huge resort kitchen... a nanny, yes... but I will never in my mind see her as a powerful presence giving orders in a kitchen.....

Are any of you ging to see the new movie "No Reservations".. it has Kathren Zada Jones... (spelling?? she is married to Michael Douglas) As 'Top Chef' in her own place with an orphan niece and a hot young man thrown in.. looks like a really good chick flick!

And yeah, Rock has pissed me off to the point I do not like him anymore... Go Julia!!! I love the way GR asked her what reflected her on the menu and when she had the balls to say nothing he let her add the #1 seller of the night. and I think with none of the girls cooking Rabbit before Julia was the one who came up with bacon wrapping it wasn't she??? Anything is great wrapped in bacon!!!

[n8lhf]

Sometimes Rock seems to think that he is owed something here. He (like some of the others) have looked down on people like Julia and Bonny. It really ticks me off that these chef-types act like they are so much better.
Personally, I'd rather have a cook cook for him than a chef. I've seen some short order cooks who could kick a$$. :rockon:

[jennm926]

I still believe that Julia has what it takes to win this thing. While she might not know all her spices (and my GOD, it took Melissay YEARS!), she's got good instincts, a good work ethic, an ability to catch on quickly (or so she's demonstrated), and a fantastic work ethic.

I can overlook lack of experience. She has the foundation and the drive. She can be taught the rest.

Go Team Waffle House!

[lennonwhore]

personally, i.d rather have a chef who will come out to talk to me when i compliment them on their great food, then one who presents me with an unidentifiable mess.

the blue team.s menu had NOTHING on it that i would want to eat (and i.m a crazy eater - i once ate a taco of crickets...), but the red team had "classy" food that was simple yet elegant.

go Julia, show that priggish ass Rock what you.re made of!

[Ryabusa]

Ok, wow, did I space out or something? I swear to God I thought Bonnie got eliminated this week. My wife just told me that it was Brad. Why the hell couldn't I remember that? Now I remember thinking that Brad really got the shaft from those other two assholes on his team. He was the only guy I liked. And I won't hate seeing Bonnie for one more week.

[Firecat]

I happen to like Rock, he makes weird faces....he's entertaining, and he can cook. I like Julia as well because she has been the underdog, pushed to the side....yet she's the one saving the team almost every week.

And c'mon...Bacon wrapped rabbit leg? That's fuckin' disgusting. I would never eat at a restaurant that even served that.

[giffordsaz]

And c'mon...Bacon wrapped rabbit leg? That's fuckin' disgusting. I would never eat at a restaurant that even served that.

[Firecat]

I don't eat TB meat either. So nyah!

[giffordsaz]

I would eat your tacos anytime..
I love crunchy TB tacos!!!
Wrap those suckas in bacon, I'll eat that too.

[lennonwhore]

*le sigh* it was bound to happen. i really hope that julia comes back after culinary school, i would love to see her win - of all the contestants she was the one i truly liked.

i.ve switched to team bonnie

[chooch850]

I am crushed!!!

[Pegster]

That was the sweetest elimination ever. Gordon was so crushed that he had to eliminate Julia. I knew she couldn't win, but it still saddens me.

[JulieM]

Gordon was a honey. Wouldn't you love it to see her back next year...though most culinary arts schools take two years I believe, but whatever...too cool for words.

Rock was a dickhead tonight and he really showed his ass and it about got him eliminated. I hate that he's such of a turd blossom.

[giffordsaz]

I am crushed but if Julia has to support her family how will she be able to attend Culinary school even if it is paid? My heart just breaks for her and I blame Bonnie. Bonnie has not had to account for some major mistakes lately and I call foul. Lennon, Team Bonnie? Do you go for the underdog much? I can't stand Bonnie and she should have put herself next to Rock if she was determined he was to go home.

[chooch850]

Bonnie definitely threw Julia under the bus! Bitch!

[RachWho?]

I can't stand Bonnie and she should have put herself next to Rock if she was determined he was to go home.

It's a competition...do you really think she would put herself up for elimination?

When Gordon doesn't like the nominations, he vetos them. He knew it was Julia's time to go. As much as we all love her, she is not ready for her own restaurant. Yes, she has to support her family, so she will either find a way to go to culinary school and then she will be so kick ass she won't need this lame-ass show to make it because Le Bec Fin will be begging her to sauce their duck (ooh that sounded kinky!) OR she will work her way up through fancier restaurants, earn her chops that way, and still kick all their asses. Either way, she has more natural talent than anyone, and you can't learn or earn that. She luckily is young enough and smart enough that she will get the other piece she needs to be a raving success. She just can't get that other piece fast enough to have her own restaurant by the end of this show.

Doesn't mean I'm not as sad to see her go as the rest of you.

[Karo]

Dammit, I missed the elimination! What did Gordon say to Julia?

I knew she wouldn't win but I was hoping she'd be in the final two.

[lennonwhore]

i have a thing for underdogs, its inexplicable and annoying at times - but there it is.

[coolbyrne]

Well, it's a good thing I only watch this for Gordon, because really, out of the three donkeys who are left, none of them are worthy to win the whole thing.

Oh, Gordon, you made the Grinch's heart grow ten times its size last night with that good-bye to Julia. *sniff*

[Karo]

Oh, Gordon, you made the Grinch's heart grow ten times its size last night with that good-bye to Julia. *sniff*

But what DID he say? Why am I being ignored?:(

[JulieM]

He is sending her to culinary school Karo.

[RachWho?]

But what DID he say? Why am I being ignored?:(

Awww, Karo, I didn't see it either. I was just waiting for Honey Gangsta or TOS to fill me in on every single detail of what I missed.

And I am one of the poor souls who, gasp!, doesn't have a DVR.

[Firecat]

Bonnie has had so many chances. Isn't this like Julia's first bad service?!?

I'm still pulling for Rock. And did that other dude actually think high school kids would vote for a piece of salmon?

[angiemarie]

I'm still pulling for Rock. And did that other dude actually think high school kids would vote for a piece of salmon?

It's more likely they would vote for a piece of salmon than fried goat's cheese on greens.

Many thanks to Julia for being a likeable person in a sea of unlikeable people this season. I'm still on Team Waffle House, and I hope there's a stunning upset during the final service and Julia is crowned the winner!

[Pegster]

But what DID he say? Why am I being ignored?:(

He was really sweet, telling her how far she'd come, and sending her to school, as Julie said, and telling her to come back and kick everyone's asses when she was through. And then he hugged her. You could just see how much he was pulling for her.

And then Amber cried on BB8.

[Karo]

Thanks guys. I'm really pissed that I saw the whole show except for the elimination.

And then Amber cried on BB8.

Hee, hee.

[JulieM]

Jen instead of Bonnie...unreal.

[RachWho?]

Wow...I missed it last night. Are they just setting it up for a Rock landslide?!? :(

I want Bonnie to mop the floor with that dirtbag!

[Karo]

I couldn't believe it. I would NEVER have thought Bonnie would be in the final two. Rock is temperamental but I always thought he would win. Now I guess I know he'll win.

[Devoted Satellite]

The past 2 episodes have really focused on upping the like-ability factor of Julia and Jenn. To the point that I was just starting want them to win. Then BAM. They're gone.

i have yet to find anything likeable about either Rock or Bonnie. Both have shown alot of flaws. In fact, I think thats the setup of the show. The chefs all seem like "Bloody Donkeys" and I never really buy into their skills.

[chooch850]

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/chooch850/hellskitchsmiley2.gif

"BLOODY HELL"

You guys can't tell me you didn't think it was hilarious when Bonnie told Chef Ramsey off....I laughed soooo hard!!....she did do the best job as head chef.....and she's cuter than that dog-faced Jen.

[Firecat]

Jen still tried to serve garbage y'all, remember?

I like both Rock & Bonnie, so I don't mind who wins. I think the team they pick will play a large part. I think Rock will have the better menu, because I can't get Bonnie's bacon wrapped rabbit leg out of my mind!!!!

[JulieM]

Chooch wins for best smilie ever.

[HereKittyKitty]

I forgot that they do that whole build up to the finale show, I was disappointed watching it last night.

I hate both Bonnie and Rock so I don't care who wins. Bonnie probably has more of a humor factor, but Rock has had his moments.

[Firecat]

I forgot too...should just make it a 2-hour finale. No need to stretch it out.

Anyway....loved the preview. Hells Bitches returns!!!!

[JulieM]

Man I was disappointed. i wanted that over!

[Jashba]

I can't imagine that someone would actually hand Bonnie her own restaurant - but then I wonder how much of it is actually "their's"? I thought that I heard that Heather, season 2 winner, just had a stake in the place she runs, but isn't the owner? You would think that Green Valley Ranch wouldn't just want to give a whole space to someone with no experience, right? I think it would be funny if Bonnie did win, but would see Rock doing better at the actual job.

[giffordsaz]

They are only going to be an executive chef of one of the resturants at the Green Valley Ranch. They do not own it but do get to work on the menu and run it as if it was theirs. They are not saying how long but I bet a year at most. I would rather have the 100,000 stake money to start my own place.

[chooch850]

Julia (Julea) was a mess.....she couldn't get it together. Hope Bonnie doesn't give her the garnish job.

[JulieM]

I'm glad Rock one and I even think Bonnie was glad. Though I didn't like Brock throughout the season, he was much better qualified.

Were'nt his children darling?

[Katrina Patina]

I'm shocked at how bitter Julia was. I don't understand how she thought she was good enough to run a high end restaurant such as Green Valley Ranch with limited culinary experience. I'll be curious to see if she accepts Chef Ramsey's offer to attend culinary school. My money says she does not.

[Jashba]

I'll be curious to see if she accepts Chef Ramsey's offer to attend culinary school.

I saw an interview recently where they asked Julia about going to school, and she said "we are still working out the details"

Wonder what that means? :unsure:

[JulieM]

Julia was definitely a downer.

[jennm926]

Yeah - what WAS the deal with Julia's attitude?

I wasn't totally surprised that Rock won. I WAS surprised at how well Bonnie pulled herself together and handled the pressure. I thought she did a great job.

Actually, I think Bonnie might have been a little relieved that she didn't win...what do you all think?

[Jashba]

It's possible that she realized that it's actually hard work - not just as easy as cooking food. Plus, she had to know that Rock was far more qualified than she is.

[jennm926]

It's possible that she realized that it's actually hard work - not just as easy as cooking food. Plus, she had to know that Rock was far more qualified than she is.

A very, VERY good point. As much as I love to cook, I would never EVER want to be a chef. She may have realized it's more fun being a nanny/personal chef after all.

[Katrina Patina]

I agree with ya'll - Bonnie was relieved that she didn't win. She actually said that she was happy that Rock won. I don't recall seeing any other competition show where the second place winner is so happy for the winner.

[Karo]

I thought Bonnie was a cocky bitch the entire episode but she did handle losing very well.

[Jashba]

I thought Bonnie was a cocky bitch the entire episode but she did handle losing very well.

She certainly handled it better that Julia!!

[Ryabusa]

I agree with you guys. Julia can piss up a pole, what an incurable bitch she turned out to be. And Bonnie, I think, really seemed like a genuinely sweet enough person that she was legit-happy for Rock. It most certainly did not seem like she was saying that just to be nice. I think she proved herself, she just does not have the experience that Rock has.

[Jashba]

I read on realityblurred.com today that she did an interview and says that her ultimate goal wasn't to win, but to gain more experience. I say if you can survive working for Gordon, you can pretty much make it anywhere.

[JulieM]

Oh gawd! I'm having major withdrawal symptoms.

[Jashba]

Julie,

I find that when dealing with Ramsey withdrawl - try to watch one of his shows on BBC America - I prefer Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, it's the best! And don't forget that this fall they are doing Kitchen Nightmares here in the US, on Fox I think.

[JulieM]

Last night it was so weird when I went to the DVR and all that was recorded yesterday was As the World Turns, Guiding Light, Big Medicine and The Hills.

I LOVE Kitchen Nightmares on BBC. I'm looking forward to the one on FOX this fall, but I'm worried that they'll screw it up. It seems to me that the Gordon they show on FOX is way more of a jerk then he is on his BBC shows. Don't get me wrong, he's still a jerk, but it seems so much more amped up on Hell's Kitchen. Of course, we get to see that he has a heart near the end of the season, but still. I have to wonder if it's Gordon, if it's the editing, or if it's all in my head. :confused1:

[Jashba]

I have to wonder if it's Gordon, if it's the editing, or if it's all in my head. :confused1:

I think that it has to be Gordon, you can't totally blame editing - and it can't be in your head, since we all see it. They use what you give them, so it's gotta be him, right?

Yeah, that makes sense. :D It does make me wonder why he chooses to be so much more abrasive in the US. I blame FOX (they'er such an easy target).

Where did you see a quote from Gordon saying he hates America? I don't believe that's true, or he wouldn't have bothered to come over here for 2 reality shows.

I just saw this at dlisted.com and had to share with you guys....

Gordon Ramsay said he was recently rushed to hospital after he burned his nutsack on a burner while cooking.

He said, "I burnt my right bollock and I'm in absolutely agony. You wouldn't believe how much this hurts. The other day I was standing too close to the hob when I was cooking. I was wearing these cotton trousers and underneath I was going commando. Suddenly I felt this searing heat. I went, 'Fuck me, bollocks to that', and for once I was spot on. My balls were burning."

"I went to the hospital because of the excruciating pain. I had an ultrasound and I get the results on Friday. People think I went in for a knee injury, but that's bollocks."

:simplesmile: That Gordon can certainly paint a vivid picture with his words.

[Wayne]

Gordon wasn't actually the first choice to do Hells Kitchen.

When they devised the show over here, Marco Pierre White was the original choice for the show but when he pulled out they asked Gordon to do the show.

Gordon was a success, the show got sold to the US, and Gordon went with it.

The UK version has had different chefs each season.

Hells Kitchen 1 - Gordon Ramsey
Hells Kitchen 2 - Gary Rhodes & Jean-Christope Novelli
Hells Kitchen 3 - Marco Pierre White
