LOL Grooch, except every week is the "most dramatic rose ceremony, ever." or the "most shocking elimination, yet."

I thought Louross did nominate Bobby?? And I think Bobby should have gotten the boot, too. He's all talk and no walk. That was shameful, how he kept repeating he was staying out of the "chaos" - as a leader, that's when he should have been jumping right in, to straighten things out! Maybe Gordon was bothered by dad Dominic's toupee! lol

I love the opening scenes, if you stop it just right on Gordon's face it is a skull.

I've missed this show, but either Jason or Bobby should have left.

Seattlemom, go to http://www.fox.com click on the Hell's Kitchen section and then to watch full episodes. I took a chance to see if it was there & was so excited as I got to watch the episode.

Jodie, I could have been half asleep by then. If he did nominate Bobby, then I guess I was thinking Louross should have nominated Jason instead of Dominic. Wasn't Jason the one who never got out a single dish of rissotto?

I still wholeheartedly believe that Bobby should have gone. He didn't support his team. He didn't lead them nor did he jump in to help where needed. The men's kitchen was a complete disaster.

Every season I wish the women could work together better. I hate it when the cat fights begin and jealousy takes over.

I love this show!!

I actually volunteer in a kitchen with a male chef, a female chef, and a female assistant. We have lots of female volunteers and actually produce FOOD for our patrons! It can be done!

Fox Reality is replaying the new Hell's Kitchen on Sunday nights @ 6:00 PM my time, here in Texas. I'm so happy, since I'm not able to watch/dvr due to my previous "addictions"!!!

7pm on Sunday here on Fox Reality! I was able to record it.. I do have capability to record four shows at once and even then once in awhile I run into a schedule problem (not often).

TnT, knowing you as long as I have, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it can be done and that it gets done very well in your kitchen.

However, I think they need to you get in Hell's Kitchen and whip those kids into shape. For some reason, it always seems to me that the women get bogged down with cat fights and petty jealousy while the men go on uber ego trips and no one gets fed.

Hugs to Tess!

I think that women chefs are still seen - perhaps even by themselves! - as "lesser" chefs despite the growing number of well-known female chefs. I suspect this makes women a little more "touchy" about imagined slights, etc.

Any established chef is used to being THE HEAD HONCHO in his/her own kitchen. He/She does NOT have to cooperate with anyone - he/she just tells others what to do and expects them to do it. Cooking with equals is a whole different experience - and apparently one that some folks have trouble adapting to!

Just my two cents worth -

just watched my dvr version -- for me dominic was a good choice to go -- I didn't see much potential in him.

I wonder where Mary Ann is -- I felt bad for Scott, he sounded like he had a really bad cold when he told the group to head to the dorms...

I kept waiting for the Petrozza guy to say 'I'm done....D-U-N...dun!

Was Sharon really a chef? She seemed like she had that lost deer in the headlights look, when it came to what she was doing.

Corey showed her cards to quick...she'll pay for that.

yeah, I think so, too. I'm surprised Ramsay didn't say anything about her making her nominations for personal reasons instead of what was causing her team to lose.

Tonight I really started wondering why I watch this show. When I've seen Ramsay in interviews, he's a nice guy. The yelling and screaming is an extreme act / scripted. There's nothing real about "Hell's Kitchen".

I thought for sure he would pull out the girl that was waiting tables. She held onto tickets for a couple of hours! OMG!

Lady, at first I thought so, too, but then I realized that he probably made his point with Corey just by tossing out someone other than the 2 she chose. I would have tossed out either the girl he did toss or, like Twinkie said, the girl serving and hanging onto the tickets. That was an unforgivable mistake.

Looks like at least one person walks out next week. I can think of about 8 or 10 of them who could walk out and I wouldn't miss them at all.

Don't understand how Corey lost the halibut contest. From my TV view I said the guy's was about 5 oz and hers was less. And I'm no chef ~ I don't even like to cook! Guess next week will be fiery after Corey has 2 enemies. Ramsay has ousted a non nominee before. This serves 2 purposes: gets rid of the weakest who should have been nommed, plus leaves the 2 angry nominees to stir up drama.}

This show is so scripted on the management side. They planned the tie and nothing Ramsey says or does is spontaneous. It's half sitcom and half punked.

It looks to me like they pick contestants because of their quirky personalities and not so much on their skills.

And damn does every chef smoke???

Ransey is a nice guy when he joins them for reward I don't doubt that those times are less scripted than then the rest of the show.

It's a fun show and I have a mini crush on Ramsey.

Well, I was pretty underwhelmed last night. These guys need to pull up their socks and develop some spirit of cooperation!

Well, Jason's on my "Can't Wait 'til He's Gone" list. I was screaming at the tv when he started with his comments at the beginning of the show about the women needing a man to lead them followed by the having a tupperware party snark. If memory serves me correctly, in the first episode he screwed up everything he touched. Can't say he did much better this episode. I'm looking forward to the day Chef Ramsey calls him out.

May Ramsay does have to get the "chefs" used to stress and pressure in the kitchen. But it seems so over the top to me. I don't need even an hour of Ramsay's screaming in my ears -- and life.

I'm glad they kept the female waitress and got rid of Sharon instead. She was able to take over as leader last week and looks like she has at least some potential as a chef than a lot of the other contestants.
