Makes you want to eat out more often, doesn't it?!?

Thanks, Color!

Can't wait for tonights show! Who will it be? I really don't care that much since neither of them are worthy IMHO. I wonder how Ramsay feels. I 'd love to know what he's really thinking about these two.

Is tonight's show on at the regular time and still just an hour or do they do something different for the finale?

I'm thinking just normal schedule?

Bonnie's palate is what Ramsey loves..but i think Rock is better equipped to run a restaurant.

Well, if I had to choose one for the kitchen and the other for the dinner table as a guest, Rock would be in the kitchen so that I know my other dinner guests would have a consistent product, and Bonnie would be at the dinner table to comment on the food served.

I have not personally observed that she has a great palate - she says so, but then who else does? Rock needs to have some management skills classes to back up his culinary chops. It is much easier to lead from the front with a carrot than to drive from drive behind with a whip - Chef Ramsey's technique aside!

It's not the finale tonight, even though they're down to two. I think we have to wait another week.

In the repeat episode tonight during service when she's at the pass, Bonnie is talking about "pigeon". Is pigeon a/k/a squab on the menu or is it a name for something else? Can't help it, when I hear "pigeon" all I can think about is them dirty birds under the el tracks in downtown Chicago.

Tonight showed promo for new food reality show this fall on Fox -- Kitchen Nightmares with Ramsay. He goes into the kitchens of restaurants that are failing and "fixes" them.

For her signature dish in Las Vegas, Bonnie repaired her shrimp and lobster pasta. Reminds me . . . for dinner one night on the Disney Magic, I had linguine and scallops in champagne sauce. Kind of a fancy comfort food dish. Loved it. I LOVE SCALLOPS.

Yeah, squab is a baby pigeon. Not the same ones in the park, but yeah, pigeon.

I caught a Kitchen Nightmares a few weeks ago when I was dog sitting a home with satellite. It's kinda interesting.

I'll try . . . . Bonnie and Rock got to spend a little time with their family -- Bonnie's parents and Rock's wife (not conjugal visit as they had hoped) and children. Hell's Kitchen restaurant is split down the middle. One side for Bonnie. One side for Rock. They each have to design their restaurant and plan menu. For being the final two, Ramsay flew them (he went too) to Las Vegas in private jet. There they each had to prepare their signature dish and then were judged by chefs from the various hotel restaurants including chef and management person from Green... (senior moment / where winner will be working). Rock prepared his crab cakes and fried chicken dish. Bonnie prepared her shrimp and lobster fettucine dish. Bonnie won by one vote. Back to Hell's Kitchen. Then the last six eliminated were brought back for Bonnie and Rock to choose from for help in the kitchen. They took turns. Split between boys and girls again. Bonnie chose Jen, Melissa, and Julia (in that order). Rock chose Brad, Josh, and Vinnie (in whatever order). Think that's it. Finale next week.

Once again we're convinced that neither Bonnie or Rock really have what it takes to run a kitchen. However, the preview of the next show (final?) make it seem like Rock does better. The most striking thing from last night's show was Julia's behavior. Understand the disappointment but Ramsey's offer to send her to school, while not the same as getting the restaurant, is pretty darn good so her attitude was a bit alarming and disappointing.

I too was disappointed in Julia - and I think that Chef Ramsey was as well. The cooking school offer was HUGE and unprecedented!!

I fell asleep and missed it all! Thanks for all the spoiling ... now I need to know, what was with Julia's behavior??

I was just coming in here to ask... Did anyone else find Julia's behavior "odd"? First of all, she actually walked away with a prize -- culinary school? Hello! That will do wonders for your career. Then her breakdown in the room, and during the team selection. And then, her snarky comment about wanting Rock to win. I was wondering if there was a backstory they didn't show us, but I thought Julia and Bonnie got along well. In fact, when Julia picked Jen to go to LV as a reward, I was surprised (I thought she was closer to Bonnie).

I don't know what was going on, but I had a very distinct "poor loser" feeling. I had really liked Julia up until that point.

Me too, Costa. At first I accepted the sad (?) to be back where she lost explanation, but after a while it just didn't fit. Very strange. Like you said, seemed to be a sore looser. Anything is possible, but did she really think she could win with her limited cooking background? She didn't win the big prize, but she won big time being sent to culinary school by Ramsay.
