Maybe he's a fan of the Shrek movies?

"Trini, I don't know where you get your information (are you quoting from the bible), but your information on donkeys is entirely wrong." I didn't see any quote marks around Trini's reponse about donkeys. I'm offended that this "wrong" description would be attributed to the Bible. I, personally, find a lot of truth in that book. It seems as if this is a direct slam against those who chose to believe in the Bible.

Just jumping in here. I understand that Ramsey's temper tantrums and anger etc is a put-on. It actually goes along with the title of the show and is what sets it apart from the other chef contestant shows. When the camera is not rolling, he's supposed to be very nice. If you notice, the chefs look very relaxed and seem to enjoy Ramsey's company when they are on their reward excursions. In addition, one of the women asked Ramsey if he was going to get his hair done and said he needed to prior to the photo shoot. If Gordon really was mean and nasty we should see that outside the kitchen.

So, didn't anyone on the east coast watch tonight? Who got kicked off? Now that they are down to one team, it should've been interesting. And didn't Jen and Rock get "into" it, in the previews? Was that (as usual) much ado about nothing? I really hope Jen or Rock went buh-bye, btw!

Ramsey kicked Josh out early. Bonnie has to choose which two to put up out of Julia, Jen, and Rock. One is Rock. The other -- commercial.

During the service in HK tonight, Jen and Rock were certainly not working as a team. "Words" were flying between them.

Awwww crap. I don't want to see her go. But kudos to the culinary school! That's just what we've all been hoping for!

The way that ended though was about as nice as it gets. He is giving her a life changing opportunity and he treated her with a lot of respect. Good for her (and him).

Well, I hate to see her go, but if he's sending her to culinary school, then he sees the potential in her!! What did Josh do to get sent out early? Was it planned or staged? (I mean, a double eviction? Wow!) I can't see Jen and Rock working as a team, no matter what. Their egos are kinda big, and I'd think they'd butt heads so that neither would back down. Thanks for the spoiling Color and Jimmer!

You're welcome. Josh was just plain bad. I guess he got hyper and started cooking a bunch of stuff in advance to try to get ahead. Ramsay told him to stop and he just kept doing it. Eventually, Ramsay lost his temper (imagine that) and kicked him out of the kitchen and off the show.

I think Julia was my most favourite contestant ever on HK. She was humble, didn't try to mess up others and point out their mistakes (can you imagine anyone else not bringing it to Ramsay's attention that Jen fished food out of the garbage? - but she quietly said, no noo to Jen and moved on). It might feel like she didn't win, but she has been given a chance to become an even better chef than she would have ended up had she even won this season. I wish she'd quit smoking, though. I felt sorry for Josh. He was so arrogant in the beginning but it was seeming at this point that he was reining himself in and buckling down. Rock STILL needs to rein in his arrogance. Geez, Ramsay is just so nasty on this show! I guess those edited lead-ons in the beginning will be exposed on the next show. It was made to look like someone was going to pull something on Ramsay, but it was just bit parts of someone crying (Bonnie?) and saying, "I can't do this!" and what will happen next - Ramsay is going to allow each person to take charge and order the others around, including Ramsay himself.

Sorry, I was watching History Detectives. Yes, Josh was preparing the spaghetti before orders for it. And one diner that we saw complained that the risotto was undercooked. So Ramsey yelled for Josh to "Get out. Get out," and he threw a fork at him, etc., etc.!

That was a very touching way for Julia to go out. I think Ramsey hated sending her off, but he must have known she'd gone as far as she could go. Better to go out now with the promise of culinary school, than to get disenchanted and burned out if she'd gone any further. The world might have just lost a great chef if that had happened. I don't think he's ever hugged anyone as they left before. Or if he did, I sure never saw it. I think he even got a bit choked up too. Did I hear him tell her something like, "and then come back here and win this hands down" after she'd completed culinary school? I wonder if he's saying she can come back to a future season of HK. That would be awesome! I'd love to see how she'd do after graduating from culinary school. I feel like Rock needs to have a few therapy sessions to find out why he has certain buttons that are so easily pushed. They do seem to center around how he perceives he is being treated, and how he is being disrespected. I think he felt really degraded when he had to sort the recycle (or as he perceived it, "digging through the trash"). I wonder if he really has a sensitive level of self-esteem, and that's why he goes off so easily if he feels someone is trying to beat him down.

I was surprised Bonnie put Julia up. I thought after the way Jen turned on her last week she would put her up. Also, it was Rock and Jen who wouldn't stop bickering. I still can't get over Jen pulling food out of the garbage though. I'm going to miss Julia but I do have to say that's the nicest 'firing' I've ever seen Chef do! He told her he was proud of her and even gave her a hug. Personality wise I would want Bonnie to win. Experience wise I would want Rock. Jen is mean when she wants to be and did the food out of the garbage thing. Rock is a loose cannon. Bonnie doesn't doesn't strike me as being able to run a restaurant. Looks like I'm just not happy with the bottom 3. I hope we do see Julia in a future season and she wins 'hands down' as Chef said.

Anyone up for battling Ramsay? They announced starting tonight they're taking applications for next season. Takers?

I'd rather he just give her a job instead of making her come back. Also- Bonnie really didn't have a choice. Jen saved the appetizer section.

When they were relating what they would be fixing for the highschoolers I said to my sister "these are teens, which one do think is gonna want fried goat cheese?" These are kids, they think Domino's pizza is gourmet. Then the three of them bitching about Julia not serving a dish she would for dinner service..duh..She was cooking for kids not adults. They just don't get it.

Ramsay did the right thing by tossing Josh out on his @$$. He's been terrible throughout this show, he's messed up every station he's been on, and his food has not been cooked right. I mean, how is this guy a Sous Chef? Ramsay also did the right thing by Julia. I've been saying since day one that she would never survive at the resort and needed culinary training. I applaud Ramsay for sending her to culinary school. I hope when she gets out that she either (a) applies to Ramsay for a job (not necessarily for Hell's Kitchen, but one of his real restaurants) or (b) applies to Top Chef if she wants to be on tv. She has everything but training, and with training she'll be phenomenal. Bonnie is one step over Julia and also needs culinary training, she'd never make it at the resort either. I've also been saying that it will probably come down to Jen and Rock in the end, and I still see that, and despite Jen's garbage mishap, she deserves to win over Rock as he is just too arrogant, rude, cocky, and angry. Rock may be more experienced, but he and his team were always the worst, and Jen is just the lesser of two evils.

Last night's epi was the most heartbreaking and yet heartwarming firing ever on this show - for the first time in three seasons, Chef Ramsey did not tell a contestant to get the hell out of Hell's Kitchen. Thanks to Chef Ramsey, there are great things in store for Julia's future.
