It was sabotage of sorts. Everyone talked about not helping Elsie because they were furious she won that challenge with chicken soup. They were all acting very childish about it. They were still a team and Ramsay emphasized that they behave as one despite this being an individual competition. Elsie asked Ralph a question and he turned his back and pointedly ignored her. It was Michael who came to her aide. With everyone treating her like an outcast on the playground her heart drove her to ruin that night. She was hurt, stressed and confused. They all played a part. Neither Michael nor Ralph have a clean record. Water under the bridge. It was gong to be the Chucks in the end no matter what happened. That was clear weeks ago.

If there is an HK2 I think the eliminated candidates should be put on the menu for the next show.

I quite enjoyed the season finale and was very glad to see Micheal win. Didn't really care for ralph much and Micheal proved over and over his food was awesome. Would watch it again if they had another season.

I don't think they were going to win a restaurant to OWN. I think the wording was that the prize was that they got to RUN their own restaurant. After being under Ramsay's tutelage in London I am sure Michael will get a far greater offer.

Yeah, that episode where they wouldn't help Elsie was awful.. and then she didn't even "rat" on them when Ramsay asked her directly if she had help.. I bet they all had some regrets on that. But wasn't it interesting how Ramsay took Elsie aside rather than berating her in front of everyone as he did everyone else? By far Elsie was Ramsay's fave... from the getgo when he liked her turkey taco's, lol!

Didn't Michael also saboutage Jessica by hiding her lobsters in an earlier episode? I liked Ralph better as a person and I like steak and I am sure he can also make other dishes as well.. Michael is more "trendy", but trends come and go so I hope he learns solid stuff and stands on his own two feet instead of making others look bad. However, I think he'll fit in with Ramsay.

Michael also withheld the crab from a crab meal to mess with Ralph.

OH, landi, that chop house sounds wonderful, and then you mentioned the creme brulee!! hmm.. maybe we should go next time I'm up there.. if we can work it into budgets.. Ramsfan.. I agree that Michael, Ralph and Jessica decided not to help Elsie out, so that could be considered sabotage but that week they were supposed to be more on their own and they others had been carrying Elsie and I think they could see that Ramsay favored her, so they decided to let her flounder a bit so she wouldn't eliminate them.. they'd just had to work all day and then watch Elsie shine on TV and probably thought.. ENOUGH! I get what you are saying landi, a team, but a team that is competing and she was also on the team and not helping the others. I hope we do get some followup on several of them. Bonza.. Dewberry might be a good name for a cat!

Creme Brulee is one of the easiest desserts to make Sea. If you love it you should set yourself up with the ramekins and a tourch. I enjoyed this show very much. Unfortunately we rarely get to hear what happens to contestants after they win. There is very little follow up in the press for any show other than Survivor or The Apprentice. I still would like to know what happened to the couples on Marry My Dad and Project Runway. There are probably others as well.

LOL.. I don't want to have easy access to creme brulee, MsBat.. I've worked too hard at Curves to lose weight and also worked on my diet and cholesterol, for that. Ah yes project runway.. would love to look in on Austin and the winner too. Marry My Dad.. I hope they are never seen again..

I was perplexed at Chef's offer to Micheal. Actually, not the offer so much, as the response. It seemed so staged. I have to wonder if the prize of the restaurant, was ever legit? Now don't get me wrong, I think that to work alongside of one of the most famous and successful chefs in the world is a rare opportunity. But I also think that the prize of "your own restaurant" is an even more rare opportunity. And the way Micheal and his wife looked/didn't look, was a give-away. Personally, I think it was planned. For the record, I loved the show, and hope it comes back. I love Chef Ramsey. By the way, where is Hell's Kitchen restaurant?

The restaurant was a set on the networks lot. It is vacant now and for lease.

Sea - I love the idea of a cat named Dewberry! Honestly, it's such a great name, sort of rolls off your tongue. When they were showing the preview for the last episode and the former contestants walked out, I sort of shouted out, "Dewberry!" Regarding creme brulee... during a trip around France, I felt it was my civic duty to sample it in every restaurant we visited... gained 8 pounds in two weeks. I blame it all on the creme brulee. I already miss Chef.

I can't find anything that says when the 2nd season starts (the only time reference I've found is "early 2006"). Here's a link to an article about the renewal. Fox also has a Hell's Kitchen site, which should be updated at some point to include info for Season 2(that's my guess, anyway)...right now it is still all about Season 1.
