Oh god that Silvio chick is awful

Unbelievable that she made it.

don't sandbag me

That killed me. No one told her anything like that. I don't understand why she is still here. I will say Barbie really showed up. The guys better get their act together.

The bolded is not true. I backed it up. Justin told her to "hold" something "in the oven". But I can't tell what he said. She interpreted it to mean hold everything and started putting all the garnish in there. So, she was wrong when she said they all told her (it was Justin only) and she was wrong when she said he told her to put it all in there.

But I can't figure out what Justin actually told her to put in there.

Maybe I misheard but I thought he said the sauce needed to be held warm not the spinach. That's why I said they didn't tell her that.

Ah, that would make sense. Justin told her that (and it would make sense to say that) and she heard something completely different and put it all in the oven.

But the problem is she initially said "ALL OF YOU TOLD ME!!"Ramsey kept her on the show for ratings. He already knows the winner will be either Dana, Christina, or Justin. So axe Brian now to keep the only real villain chef (Rachel) on the show. Barbie pulls some silly ####, but she's not a villain.

Yeah, but that only works when you're not splitting demographics, i.e. putting decorating and Lifetime movies up against the Super Bowl. The "fans of inane competition with arbitrary rules between people no one had ever heard of a month ago featuring an announcer who may be having a stroke and a grown adult yelling and screaming at young people mostly in their early 20s in a foreign accent" demographic is only so big.

Big enough that they threw even more money and another show at Ramsey. I couldn't care much less than I do about the Olympics. I would've gladly watched a show I have some time invested in. My guess is I am hardly the only one.

How much weed does Dana smoke every day? All of it?

 

[Sarnoff]

How did it take them a dozen episodes to put Dana in a bikini? Why wasn't that in every episode? #### if she never won a reward to give them an excuse. Gotta clean the dining room? Put her in a bikini and make her clean the fish tank from the inside. Gotta clean the outside? ####### Bikini Car Wash. Ramp up the thermostat in her room to 108 and get her ### in the jacuzzi. ####.

Yeah Dana was working that bikini. Only got the one shot from behind but all looked good.

The problem with that is Kimmie was still around. If Dana had to wear a bikini then Kimmie would too.

And that would certainly constitute cruel and unusual punishment for viewers.

 

[BigJohn]

I dunno. After seeing Dana in her bikini, it may have been worth it.

 

[VA703]

Woo.. some hotties last night

great episode

 

[NCCommish]

The former Miss Teen America's was a nice touch. And now we are down to the only guy I thought I had a shot. But he is a bit of a richard. At this point I am rooting for Dana and Christine in the final two. Next week is running the pass. Every time they do that they try to sell someone as sabotaging the others. The reality is that's what Ramsey has been putting up with all game for the most part. I really don't like the manufactured drama, especially with this bunch who are all drama all the time without any help.

 

[Dragons]

Ramsey always kicks off who he wants, no matter who is nominated, but they really missed a chance to get rid of Barbie last night. Clemenza was going home soon regardless and Barbie had a really ####ty service. It was stupid to not come to a consensus on her.

But Ramsey did put them both up there. Ramsey doesn't like fat, sloppy chefs. I have seen him go after guys on his other shows for being out of shape and sloppy in the kitchen. I think even if they had come to a consensus on Barbie Clemenza was still going home before her.

Fat doesn't bother me.. IMO means they like the food they are cooking But, as I told my wife last night, if I saw a slob like him cooking the meals I'd walk out of the restaurant without even thinking twice. :X

I agree with that but what stopped Ramsey from sending him home the 6 times before that?

Because those folks super sucked IMO. Several of those times Ramsey seemed genuinely pissy about Clemenza being nominated. Apparently though he was keeping count.

 

[Premier]

Yea if Clemenza is even half as gross as they portrayed him to be, I can't believe he made it as far as he did.

I guess he could really cook better than those other ####birds they kicked off.

 

[Sarnoff]

I call BS on the double cliffhanger though.

 

[NCCommish]

So last show before the big finale. Get in your final 3 picks. I am going with Dana, Christine and Justin. Barbie would have been gone if not for Clemenza last week. I just don't see her in the final 3. I think Chef has a weak spot for Dana as he has been shown being more supportive of her than the others in a more personal way.

I'm with you on the final 3. Barbie seems like she's coming back here and there only to self destruct. I don't think she can take a spot from the other 3.

Final three is obvious, it's the final two that count.Justin and Christine with Christine winning pretty easily. Her only flaw is she gets a little frazzled under pressure once in awhile, but she is clearly better than the other three IMO.

Justin is a bit of a doosh but I am not sure Christine is all that far ahead as a chef. I really want to see tonight before I make a final 2 decision because I think Dana has a shot but she is a dark horse.

 

[Tybeeman]

I don't think any of the contestants have the skills to run Gordon's new steak house in Vegas. I think they all pretty much suck.

Well but we know they never get to actually run a restaurant based on past winners. They get a "mentored" role generally. Although I think they can just take the money and run as well.

 

[madhatter]

Justin beats Dana in the finale, book it.

This is the first time I've watched a full season of HK, so I was not aware of the mentoring role. After watching I totally understand why they don't get to run it. I cannot believe some of the contestants are even chefs.

Plus she fills out a bikini pretty well. Rooting for Dana for sure, just think Christine is better.

 

[bryhamm]

I'm predicting Christine and Justin as final 2, but with Justin winning it.

 

[17seconds]

Final is gonna be Dana vs. Justin

Sticking with this, and Justin wins.

Yup. There's not even a position called 'head chef' at any of his restaurants. Its pretty obvious they pick people for ratings over talent.

Apparently our local cable company botched it's negotiations with Fox. No Hells Kitchen for me tonight.

 

[bryhamm]

definitely Christina and Justin in the finals
