Oh, I definitely think that's why he was specifically chosen for that task. And I agree about his behavior, Huk'd.

I also wonder if the photo shoot people had 2 photo shoot plans...Charlie's Angels if the girls won and something more fitting if the guys + Melissa did.

I wondered about the "You're a *&^$%# FAKE!" line, too. Just like they previewed a show with "Don't die on me!" and nothing came of it. They make such a big issue of some things to try and pull you in for the next show. I hate those misleading tactics.

Tonight we could see Melissa up closer and it looked like to me that she had a scratch under her chin, as if she had jabbed herself with a knife.

Re the photo shoot - probably they would already have had a different theme if the guys had won, probably something GQ-ish.

About Jen - she has been doing well, yes, and her attitude has been good. But in my heart I would still never want to eat anything made by a person who thought it was acceptable to pull something out of the trash and serve it to customers. Realistically, would Ramsay really hire a chef and place him/her in charge of a huge, big-name restaurant knowing that millions of people had seen said chef willing to serve food to patrons from the garbage? Anyone can make a mistake, feel sorry, and vow never to do it again, but this is BAD publicity. Jen did this knowing there were cameras everywhere; how could you trust her behind the scenes? It doesn't say much for her intelligence, either.

Wonder if Ramsey was actually impressed with Rock's temper tantrum? Afterall, Ramsey is the king of temper tantrums isn't he? lol

Glad Melissa is gone.

I think they would have done Charlie Brown instead of Charlie's Angels had the men's team won. Here's the cast of characters:

Chef Ramsey, the leader


Melissa, the crabby sort of girl


Rock, tries to keep the ball in play so to speak


Josh, tries to handle the ball but it keeps getting away from him


Brad, relatively quiet and sort of insecure

My guess is that they had two different photo shoots planned/styled.

Did Rock have to go that crazy? wrecking stuff that does not belong to him?

Every season, Ramsey does a photo shoot with one of the teams. Has it ever been with a male team?

Gordon Ramsay often implied Melissa was a fake, phoney, sabateur or that's what re runs showed. She did fall apart under the stress...

It was remarkable how far Melissa fell before she was kicked out of the kitchen. We don't record the series but it seemed to us last night that she was the "one to beat" or one of the potential winners early on, at least for the first couple of shows. Could have been all bluff or just the circumstances that she was able to "hide" early on because of all the others and when it got thinner she stuck out. Certainly no question that her appearance got worse and worse.

Melissa's hair last night was a mess again! It's like she never even took a brush to it! I was glad to see it tied back, but it should have been put back better than that. She definitely fell from "grace" big time! I never did like her snotty attitude about Julia, so it was kind of like payback with what happened to her.

Watching, one word: KARMA!!!

Seriously, you'd think she'd do something to at least LOOK halfway decent at the beginning of the dinner service. Or at the beginning of prep, anyways. I dunno why but that completely disheveled look is not attractive on her.

And I did notice that her pic (before it burned up) didn't have a "thing" on her chin. Dunno what the heck it was, or if they airbrushed it outta the pic, but...

I'm SOOO glad she's gone. I think SHE was the one being a phony. For all her airs, she sure couldn't do some real simple basic things (like keep potatos from turning black!). And if she was a line chef/cook, then what she was doing in HK is EXACTLY what she would've been doing in her real job. (All the HK contestants are really just line cooks doing all of their own prep till they get closer to the finale.)

Anyone that knows me well enough knows that my hair has been the bane of my existence, especially when I was growing up. I am the queen of bad hair. There is no such thing as a good hair day in my life. Really. That's how bad my hair is.

That being said, I can honestly say that the last two weeks of watching Melissa has made me think that there is finally someone out there with worse hair than me. Maybe if she took a comb to it, I could rightfully retake my spot as the Queen of Bad Hair.

When other reality show contestants have had their hair blasted by TVCH members, I have to admit it often made me uncomfortable, cause I knew what it was like to have my own hair blasted by everyone around me. For the first time in my life, I am not uncomfortable at all hearing someone talk about someone else's hair, and in fact don't mind a bit joining in!

Either that makes me , or Melissa officially has the worst hair on reality TV!

My wife's comment was actually worse...."she looks like she needs a bath". Certainly wins the "worst hair" in reality TV award.

My aunt watched the wedding ep with me and she said she wouldn't want to eat where any of them worked, because they all looked like they needed baths! And, they really did look pretty rough during that service. But, I would imagine nobody looks their best under those circumstances. Still, though, at least all the other women keep their hair pulled back. Did anybody notice the very sloppy editing in the wedding ep during the duck fiasco? You'd see Melissa in one clip with hair neatly tied back, then the next shot it would be loose and messy....then it would be tied back again. Right around the time where she took the duck out of the oven, it was edited to seem really like one shot, but her hair changed from one to the next...definite jump cut! It was really funny.

Yea, I did notice that Cd! In fact I mentioned it a few pages back. I think someone did say they hadn't noticed the hair differences from one scene to next!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that. I was wondering if I'd been seeing things!

I guess I missed that post during my week without internet...that was why I didn't get to post about it at that time. I pointed it out to my aunt at the time and we were taking turns spotting the hair change, so at least now you know 3 of us saw it!

If Melissa would have at least combed or brushed her hair, I would have said anything about it. Talk about looking like a mess on TV! Costa - I was trying really hard to say it w/o using the word KARMA! LOL

Hey, I bet I know what happened! During that wedding day service, when Melissa got so out of control annoying, what got edited out was the full on wrestling match that went on. The girls got tired of her and ganged up on her and slapped her down. There was probably hair pulling and the whole nine yards. That would explain why her hair was tied back in some scenes, and messed up like she'd just been through the ringer in other scenes. And that could explain that thing on her chin too. Fingernails dug into flesh can create quite a lot of damage too!!

Yup, I bet that's what happened! Now, why the heck they'd edit that out is another thing. Talk about missing out on an opportunity for "good tv!"



disclaimer.....this post was just my overactive imagination at work. I never heard anything that something like this really happened!

I thought she had a piercing in her chin and she took out the jewery.

Hi new here but I love the show and I love Ramsey. He really is a very kind and generous man but his reputation in the kitchen is what put him in the spotlight in the first place. He has been known to explode like this for years and years. But he is a genius and he knows his food.

Having said that I am glad to see Melissa gone too. She seemed to have some sort of break down. That vacant look in her eyes got worse as the weeks went on and THAT HAIR!! I can't believe Ramsey would let her in the kitchen like that. At first I thought it was because she was trying to look sexy but there was nothing attractive about that just crawled out from under a rock look.

Brad is surprising me. He works at a very fine restaurant just up the road from where I live, in one of the poshest resorts in Arizona. The show makes it seem like he can't boil water, how does he have such a great job?

I'm rooting for Julia.

All of you who have trouble with hair, bare hands touching food, etc. should never venture into a commercial kitchen. It is all about getting the food out there, looking and tasting fabulous -

I agree that it should be different, but, like in many other areas, what should be isn't necessarily what actually IS!

Maybe where you are, but of all the places I've been down here, I've seen hairnets and gloves and I've read in the papers restaurants getting hit by the health department for veering from that.
