I have a question--is it possible that Julia can come back for next season? i thought that once they were on (and on the tv show itself, a la American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance), that was it, they couldn't go on anymore. I am glad he is doing that for her, but i do wish he had kicked off Rock. I used to like him, but lately, his temper has gotten pretty scarey.

I think she can come back. This past season on American Idol, they had a contestant on who had made it to Hollywood the season before. I think the rules are different for regulating appearances on reality shows versus game shows.

I thought Ramsey even said that he was sending her to school and expected her to come back to HK....maybe next time. ???? I hope she can afford to take the time off and go to school. It isn't clear to me if she has a family that she supports or could support her while she was in culinary school. Either way I'm hoping Ramsey would find a way to make it happen. Would love to see her come back next season and kick some major legend backside. Of course, with formal schooling and her natural abilities and skills she'd probably get a great offer without subjecting herself to HK again. Good for her! Our all-time HK favorite!!!

Who, Ramsey definitely said he's sending her to culinary school and then he wants her to come back and win Hell's Kitchen. That was the best ending EVER, even if it was Julia leaving. And yeah, I was cracking up at the high school. I think the teaser ("you'll be cooking for trendsetters") confused the other chefs. Kobe beef? Salmon? Fried goat cheese? Yeah, these high schoolers (in Alhambra, not Beverly Hills) will really know the difference between Kobe beef! I thought Julia did the right thing as soon as I heard what she was fixing, and the 51% was pretty much what I expected! You go, girl! Rock is really a piece of work. I was impressed that he realized he blew it, but throughout this season I've not been impressed with his nasty mouth. I'd say he's driven, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to hire anyone who'd likely trample over everyone (even his own mother?) to get to the top. He's rude and arrogant and I'm positive he's gonna win and I'm not gonna be happy. Bonnie is great and I'm impressed she's done so well. But I think her "nanny" tag is gonna be it for her. Jen is also a piece, and I'm not sure she'd ever be the HK winner because of the trash spaghetti. I predict the final two will be Jen and Rock. BTW, was anyone else surprised as all getout that Julia took JEN to LV with her? I mean, hello! This is the woman who spends half the service being a witch to you. I'd have thought Julia would've picked Bonnie, but I guess there's more going on behind the scenes that we don't see!

I was lol'g at Bonnie serving goat cheese to high schoolers. Glad Julia's going to cooking school. But I am so over Ramsey talking the way he does to people. He's lucky no one's whipped his ass by now.

I can't believe I actually forgot to watch last night! Hopefully they will repeat it next week. I am glad about the Culinary Academy for Julia. That is equivalent to about a $50,000 prize, plus the potential for a lot higher earnings in the future compared to the waffle house. I am very happy for her.

The next week peek was a hoot. I'm predicting Bonnie will win because Ramsey appreciates a good palate. Rock has shown over and over that he doesn’t work well with others. Jen is unadventurous with her foods....so that leaves missy palate.

Whoami, Ramsay hugged Jessica goodbye on season one. She came in third. Ramsay definitely did tell Julia to come back and win, and there's been many other reality contenders come back again on other shows. It would be great to see Julia back. I think Rock will win. Bonnie's a bit too weak (crumpling during the botched fish order and then the throwing away of monkfish - she should stay away from fish!) and she just seems way too insecure. Jen - again my argument is that nobody in their right mind would want to have someone running a Vegas resort restaurant who was dumb enough (and gross enough) to pick food out of the garbage in a FOOD/COOKING COMPETITION, try to serve it to unwitting customers, all the while knowing there are cameras everywhere and you are on TV. I would never be able to stop thinking what would she really do when she could really get away with it. Guys, it's Ramsay, not Ramsey. Think about it like this - a RAM with a lot to SAY lol

quote: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. I am sorry you may have misunderstood. I did not quote any words from the Bible. I defined what the animal donkey is. I did not quote or compare anyone to a donkey.

The previews showed Bonnie really laying into Ramsey. I don't know if that was staged or what but she looked pretty intense. I could see Julia opening a Gourmet 'waffle house' and kicking all their butts.

Loved how Chef let Julia go with the offer of sending her to culinary school and telling her to come back and win. I really think he gained a lot of respect for her. I didn't notice him being as nasty to her as he was to the others. I think he has a soft spot for someone with natural talent and someone who doesn't give up. I laughed at the promo, too! I think Bonnie is doing her "Chef impression" since it said they'd all get a chanceto be the "boss" to everyone, including Chef. I hope it's as funny as it looked in the preview.

Sad to see Julia go, but LOVED his offer to send her to culinary school.. that's quite the worthwhile consolation prize! I had free tickets last night to a preview showing of the new movie "No Reservations". Very cute! But if you see it.. then in the last scene, think of Julia... I'm not wild about any of the three left.

There was a contestant the first season that Ramsay was very kind too. She was the one who made the soup out of the left overs during a competition. He was sad to see her go as well and treated her kindly and was encouraging to her. Like Julia when he had to "yell" at her in the kitchen he did so differently. I think she was a bit older though. Can't think of who she was though.

When the tray of monkfish was thrown out, we saw that there now wasnt going to be enough. I'm wondering if they 'rescued' the monkfish from the garbage. for at least half of the season I've thought Rock was the only choice. How could Ramsay hire a partially educated chef to run the Green Valley Ranch?? I'd like to think Jen Might pull it out of the hat, but then again.

I remember her. If I recall, she didn't have formal training either. I wonder if there's a place to look up past seasons online. I like Bonnie the best personally, but I think it's going to be between Jen and Rock as the final two. They both have more experience than Bonnie, but I can't get past Jen taking the pasta out of the trash. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Like you all, I can't get past that pulling the spaghetti out of the trash, either. Was so glad for Julia. Even Rock made the comment that she had the capacity to improve. Bet the Waffle house is missing her!

Watching, on the hell's kitchen website you can find out about past seasons as well. Here is the address and below is the description for Elsie that people were asking about. http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/bios/ Elsie Hometown: Maywood, NJ Occupation: Executive Assistant Elsie can't remember when she didn’t have a flair for cooking. With 3 step-children and 3 of her own, it seems like she is always cooking up something. Overall, the Hell’s Kitchen experience has been a little intimidating, but she has the speed and energy to tough it out. She is excited about the possibility of managing her own restaurant someday.

Twinks, why were you crying? (And I didn't mean to sound flippant, just not surprised or sad that the trash-digging Jen was sent walking.)
