I watched this show for the first time last night, so I don't have the whole history of Elsie, but I thought all of the rest acted like spoiled little snobby brats last night. I thought it was rather funny that they all agreed she didn't deserve the win the challenge...but each though he or she did instead. I about peed my pants laughing when Jennifer agreed with Ralph that Elsie didn't deserve the win, only to go on to say that she did. Dead silence from Ralph. They didn't seem to get that she's the one who got the point of the challenge -- use up as much of the leftovers as possible to make a dish people would buy.

I was rooting for Elsie to win. I thought she would.

On Ramsays other show (Nightmares) he encourages restaurants to create their menu around the demand and what is possible to accomplish. Elsie would do beautifully offering simple fare in a location where that was in demand.

I guess we should have seen this coming. Jimmy won the challenge just before he turned in his jacket. He wanted to give Elsie a big hug with that win. He also liked her soup.

I was surprised that Ramsay did not mention that the others failed in being good team members. He railed about that during the service. He was very aware they were shunning Elsie.

He knows who he wants as the winner and has for awhile.

My guess is Chuck.

Elsie was a sore looser last week, when Jimmy won the reward & did not take her. I think she was dumb, but nice, in refusing to say the others did not support her in the kitchen.

Was sorry to see Elsie go last night. I don't think she should have left before Jessica. Not thrilled with the final 3 but hope Micheal gets it over the other 2.

It does appear that he tries to be nice with the awards before he takes their jacket and sends them on their way.

I felt bad for Elsie too. It seemed like she had just gotten her self confidence and then the other contestants turned on her.

They all must be exhausted and running on adrenaline by now.

Since I don't want Jessica or Michael to win, guess it should be Ralph.

I really don't mind at this point as long as it is NOT Jessica. She has a lot of growing up to do IMO....the faces she makes-her constant look of a pissed off teenager, bothers me. I would never want her to be my boss

I did not see Elsie as being a sore loser in the flambe challenge at all. She was annoyed that Jimmy did not choose her to go along since she was the close second. It would have been an honorable thing for Jimmy to do. She talked about her feelings on the subject and that was it.

My take on Elsie seems so different. I think Chef sees actual natural talent in her and a willingness to learn. I'll bet that off camera, he has encouraged her to go to culinary school. There was no way for her to win, as she has zero training, but I wish she would have been final three.:-)

i think if Elsie had been honest and said that they weren't cooperating with her, she would have just made more enemies out of them. so it really wasn't worth it, maybe ;) i will miss her, she was my favorite.

Who is Chuck?

I think Elsie has alot of raw talent. She was great on the blindfolded taste test, & he likes her cooking (soup & tacos)

However, I do think she was a sore looser last week.....but I think they are all a bunch of sore loosers!


But I think Jessica should have gone before Elsie

Jessica reminds me of the guy that plays Draco Malfoy on the Harry Potter movies.

She made a face last night that looked just like him. LOL!

I agree with the others that Ramsey really wanted her to spill it. I would have loved to see his tirade when she did...her loss on that one.

Elsie may not have been cut out for the Restaurant, but I think Ramsey was really rooting for her, and I wouldn't be surprised if we find out there's a side deal for him to take her on as a student or something.

Oh and Chuck is actually Ralph or Michael...you have to learn to read Fruitbatese around here.

I agree, Ramsey was all soft and nice to Elsie (well, compared to his usual tirades). Maybe he had some real good conversations with her in the limo that morning.

On the other hand, she was tired. She was ready to go home last episode.

If he really sees that talent in here that the show appears to portray - he's gonna send her to culinary school with the promise of a job when she gets out (like Trump who ended up hiring Andy from season 2 after the fact, and sent Troy from season 1 to college).

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I am surprised to see that all these would be chefs smoke like chimneys. I would think that your palate and sense of smell as a chef would be something you would want to keep pristine.

Heck, the other three did prep work all day; Elsie may have been tired but they were probably more tired. And it must wear on Ralph to have never been there for a reward.

LOL, when my brother worked in restaurants he said all the chefs smoked like chimneys, drank like fish and were irascible.. he kept a respectful distance from them and their sharp knives..

Looks like Mike or Ralph goes tonight. I think they have to serve the axed contestants. Just a guess.
