I guess I just never worked in a position to know that term. Hey, I like learning something new. Reminds me I'm never too old to learn. So what happened to significant other? Is that term still used?

Well, really late on this one, but SO could refer to a boyfriend or girlfriend with whom one does not have to reside. DP signifies that the partners do live in a domestic relationship. And, as mentioned above, tho it is common to see the reference in same-sex relationships, it equally applies to what used to be called Common Law Marriage. I might add that in California, Common Law Marriage is still legally recognized, but I don't know if it is so when partners are same sex. On a personal note, what an odd thread I chose to post to, for my first post in several months, as I'm totaly single and abstinate and have been so for several years.

Getting back OT, the waivers these contestants must sign before going on this show must be a gazillion pages long. This season in particular, the derogatory terms he has used against the women have been way over the top. I would have lasted about 20 seconds before I smashed a grapefruit in his face and a corkscrew up his ***********************. Oh, that does sound painful.

That was such an interesting twist that Chef Ramsey moved Melissa over to the men's team. She was such a bossy person to the other woman, but I wonder if they will be able to keep things going with her gone. One less person means one less to get the job done. I hope they will bc at this point, I'd really like to see Julia win. It's going to be very interesting to see how Rock deals with Melissa, he, nor any of the men, seemed really happy that she joined them. Next week's show should be really interesting.

first challenge was to create original and tasty fresh lobster dishes. red team won 2-1, with Rock the only blue victory, and got makeovers and photo shoot with in touch magazine. the blue team had to go thru the trash separating recyclables. rock went off, really lost his cool. dinner service was also won by red team. ramsey kicked melissa off forth with (or whatever that word is). He just said Melissa step forward ... get out of hell's kitchen. But wait ... he's not finished ... he also had josh and brad step forward ... now is commercial

he raked both of them over the coals ... they had to tell him why they thought they deserved to stay there ... then he said 'both of you' ... then he paused. I thought he was gonna kick off both of them. But he said both of them get back in line, gave them another chance ...

It was funny when he had the blue team tell him their jobs. He had a chef (Rock), 2 sous chefs (Brad and Josh), and a line chef (Melissa). He said, "you got beat by a nanny (Bonnie), a short order cook (Julia), and a pastry chef (Jen)!" LOL Jen admitted earlier that she actually was a chef, and had worked in most recent years as a pastry chef, so she does have experience. Julia started to crumble right as they only had 2 tables left to serve. I don't know what that was all about, other than they were tired.

I feel sorry for Rock being stuck with Josh and Brad. Wow--those mashed potatoes really looked nasty. Josh and Brad have to be the next to go, unless one of the women really, really loses it.

Not stupid Angelicfairies! I wondered too. I googled around for the hierarchy in the kitche, and found THIS site. So basically, a line cook (in fine dining anyway) looks to me to be nothing more than a glorified short order cook? I don't mean to disrespect any line cooks out there. I'm thinking more about Melissa's snobbery, and how she took "ten yeeaarrrrs to learn this stuff" (I'm quoting her, and the way she emphasized 'ten years'). Ten years as a line cook? Seems to me if she were as talented as she thinks she is, she'd have moved up that ladder a bit by now. Heck, my cousin ended up as a sous chef almost right out of culinary school!

I liked that line, too, Huk! Pretty funny! So happy to see Melissa go. She was so full of herself for no reason I could detect! Didn't they also show in an early preview something which intimated someone was planning on "doing something" to Ramsey and one of them was wondering or saying they should warn him? I thought it might be tonight with the way Rock was acting, but then he simmered down.

It looked like Rock had blown it once his meltdown got underway. I'm glad he calmed down enough to survive the cut. The only thing sweeter than seeing Melissa finally get the axe will be witnessing the evictions of Joe, Eric and Jennifer from the BB house.

In last weeks previews for this week, Ramsay was calling someone a fake. Did I miss it last night? I don't recall ever hearing that. Melissa deserved to go, but Josh should be next. He's just terrible, and in denial. Right now, it looks like garbage woman may make a run for the title, but could Ramsay really award the win to her?

I love that Ramsay's version of high praise to the women was along the lines of "You're doing fine, so if you screw it up you only have yourselves to blame". Also, did you all catch it last night? We had perfectly cooked Wellington courtesy of Bonnie! Thought is was strange how sure Rock was that their food should have won the challenge, considering he didn't taste any of it. I don't know that anybody's food was particularly original, so I would guess Ramsay went by taste. And, to me, since only the blue team messed up the lobster (Melissa's undercooked lobster) in a lobster challenge, if it was really that close, I'd give it to the red team, simply because all their lobster was good.

Julia worried me for the first time last night. She's had her moments but this was, in my recollection, the first time I've actually seen her cave in a bit. Wonder if the stress of having to learn so many different dishes and preparation requirements is starting to take its toll? I hope not!!!

I actually thought the guys' soup course was the more attractively plated. Of course, I am pulling for the gals - now that Melissa is gone - but that was my honest take on the "tie."

Well, it woulda looked wrong to have a "Charlie's Angels" photo shoot with 3 guys looking up at "Charlie" wouldn't it? I was wondering if it was so close that he based his decision on who would look better in the photo shoot.

Hukdonreality, my thinking exactly! The girls did look better in the photo shoot! I thought it was extremely cruel for Chef Ramsey to have Rock come to the photo shoot and then demean him even more by having him take their garbage. Not nice and unnecessary!

Doncha think that maybe Ramsey knew that Rock was carrying on so about sorting bottles (it's not like he was going through garbage or anything) that he was making a point with him? His behavior about the recyling task as well as how he handled the loss to the girls over the food challenge was disgusting, if not disturbing. I no longer want him to win, even if he may be the best technical cook there. Go girls!!
