Well, my, my, my. This was certainly an over the top episode! Ramsey may not have known about the lie until the show wrapped. It would have been easy to miss if you were the producer or camera man since things move so quickly. I don't think they put the episodes together until the taping finishes. I suppose a producer knew of their dispute while taping their diary talks and was able to review the tape. But how does Ramsey bring it up? They never make mention of looking at tape and call attention to the TV show aspect. Good to see Tom go, he gave me zero entertainment. I keep my expectations low for this one. The grand prize of running a multi million dollar restaurant in a billion dollar resort is not credible. It is laughable. I am surprised Ramsey would do this show. He is held in such high regard, in his field. Well, money I suppose. But has he no pride? There are so many flaws it is just silly. The casting for starters is absurd. The same old tired menu of Wellington and Risotto. How about lobster dumplings, roast pork tenderloin suffed with fresh figs, braised lamb shanks on a puree of celerac to name a few meals I have had lately. The assistants smashing cake into the carpet that Sara was on her knees cleaning. No rug shampooer? The kids grading their meals? Yuh, they were really paying attention to their burger. umm hmmmmmmm. This will be a great memory for all those kids, what fun. I still watch in horror and with delight. This is only because I am familiar with Ramsey through his BBCA shows and like him. He morphs into a man channeling a flesh eating, alien parasite in Hells Kitchen.

Hi All, Sara didn't start (Not that I'm defending her, quite frankly the only women I like now are Heather and Mirabel.) backstabbing until Rachel did it to her first by making the ugly shaped pizza. Sara got in trouble from Ramsey for it but Rachel didn't say it was her who made those 2 ugly pizza's. Can't stand Sara or Rachel. Glad Tom's GONE!~ Ok so why did the Assistant drop the cake on the floor that Sara was cleaning? They led up with Sara making jokes and squirting the carpet and Rachel fuming that Sara jokes all the time. Then Sara called Rachel a and the Assistant was watching then suddenly she said,"Here's some more cake for you!" And dropped it on the floor! Then it went to commercial. I thought they would come back and explain what happened. Did I miss something? Anyone??

I wondered that, too, Miz. I can only surmise that there was a LOT we didn't see. Perhaps the sous chef had asked them to get serious and get finished and Sara kept goofing off anyway and that ticked her off. No way to tell, really, unless there's some backstory information on the Fox website or something (I haven't looked). I do hope that Sara gets held accountable by Gordon for her lack of teamwork. Virginia clearly got the short end of the stick in that deal. Hopefully they will have looked at the tapes and informed Gordon of what REALLY happened. Otherwise, he'll continue to think Virginia is the problem when it's really Sara.

They had been sniping at each other the entire show and probably for days. It was just coming to a head. Everything one did triggered a reaction in the other. I predict that Virginia will go next and if they have footage to support it, Sara will be the root of it. If they don't Ramsey will rehash the lying. They are creating entertainment and there is no way Virgina can win anyway. They are not going to boot one that is creating drama, never.

Sometimes this show is too painful for me to watch. I have to turn the channel during some of the abusive verbal barrages. I love cooking shows and wish that this show had criticism that was more constructive and less destructive.

Lurk...Heather was put on the men's team. They had a children's lunch competition which the men's team won and they got to go an amusement park while the girl team had to clean up the children's mess (and boy was it a mess). Dinner service was pretty much as it was in other weeks, lots of screw up, lots of swearing, dishes not getting out. The "lie" was between Sara/Virginia. Sara said she was ready for a particular food when Virginia was through making it. Sara later denied saying this and Virginia got screamed at for the mix up. Sara never fessed up. Tom and Virginia were nominated and Tom went home.

Thanks Lori!!! I really am not especially enjoying it either. There are NO useful cooking tips and all I keep thinking of is how much good food they are throwing away in the orchastrated tirades. And now they are clearly casting folks who don't have the right kitchen experience to run a restaurant (many not to even work at one) then yelling at them for it! Just for a reason to yell. Is that supposed to be entertaining to us?? shrug

I'm a little surprised at the quality of the "contestants" as well. Last season they seemed to have more experience and there was a few to root for. That Sara just acts vile. She has been having her little rants even prior to last night's show. Her constant smirking says it all, she is defintely not a team player.

Sara is a funny character on this show. Why bother being sneaky? It's not Survivor, it's about cooking. I don't believe this show for a second, but I'm very entertained by it. I have no doubt a woman will win this year. It was a guy last time. Probably Heather, and oddly, I think maybe Virginia. The underdog and all that. Funny show though.

The heat is on and the “steaks” are high as the contestants endure Ramsay’s hellishly intense culinary boot camp for a chance to win the ultimate mouth-watering prize – the coveted title of Executive Chef of a luxurious fine-dining restaurant at the brand-new Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas. In addition, the winner will be eligible to receive a financial interest in the restaurant and assist its design The above is from the website

When reality TV first hit the scene with Survivor we embraced it, hungered for more and got it. We had been watching half hour sitcoms and detective shows. Will they get the guy? Will the protangonist come to an untimely end? We were bored. The shine of reality TV has worn off and contestants, now, seek fame. I still enjoy it but with adjusted expectations. Some are truer to the orignal form that Survivor pioneered, others are just ridiculous and lame. I have become more diserning. I choose to watch this one because I know Ramsey from BBCA and I am hopelessly hooked on the genre. I go for network productions and skip teen cable fare. Hell's Kitchen is one of the boarderline entries. Okay, it is lame. Still I watch but skip the attachment to outcome that is inheirent with the big guns. This is just plain silly.

My Tivo says there are no upcoming episodes of Hell's Kitchen. Mr. Deeds is scheduled for next week in that time slot. Anyone know anything about that?

Having started watching,and loving, Kitchen Nightmares we find this one pretty lame- the anger and insults over the top. This cast is absurdly unfil to be anyone's chef! Yet we watch, of course!

According to the FOX website, the next episode will be Monday July 10th, so it hasn't gone away, it is just taking the holiday off! I guess FOX feels "Mr. Deeds" is more patriotic that Chef Ramsay.

Fruitbat, I would add one more concept to your reality assessment that I personally feel is the biggest problem with Reality TV now. When it first started we actually got some REAL PEOPLE. Because it was so new, some of those shows didn't soar. I still say the problem with BB1 was far more production/editing than the fact they used a true cross section of America with actual real folks. But Hollywood choose to fix this by opening the floodgate to the wannabees, likely thinking they would be easier to produce. So I blame most of the problems with these shows on over the top production and concepts (like the endles yelling here and not casting real chefs ready to compete for a restaurant), and use of primarily wannabees who just aren't, to me, as interesting to watch on ANY show.

I think that about half the contestants are there because they need to test the real "contenders" on how well they manage people who do not have a lot of training in the kitchen. This year it is hard to tell who the "good" chefs are because they have not had much by way of individual competitions for rewards, these have been team efforts. I think that a lot of the lower key women are actually the contenders this year. Sara really disgusts me. I think there is a special place in hell for people who laugh at you when you are upset. Sara is definitely headed there, her behavior was vile.

Honestly, out of all those there, Heather is the closest to being a contender, IMHO. Keith with his saggy pants and "that's the way I roll" nonsense can't be a serious choice. Garrett may have some skills, but are they really going to give the job to someone with a prison record? Doesn't seem plausible. Maybe Rachel has talent, but the way he was laying into her last night seemed to be setting her up for dismissal. Maribel...actually, we haven't seen much of her. Maybe. Virginia? Too emotional to get too much further. And Sara...she may not have been caught on many of her screwups, but that can't last forever. Plus, they have shown us what a beatch she is, so she mustn't be the winner. No hero's edit.

What Nancy said! Heather is the only one I can see winning this. But, of course, we are only seeing what the producers want us to see. So there could be some surprises.

Heather always seems to be thinking about the team instead of just herself. From how she handled her hand burn to safety-pinning Keith's pants up, she's making sure her team wins, which is going to serve her well in the long run, whether she wins this or not.
