Petrozza nominated himself, very humble saying that he didn't do his best and he wasn't going to throw any of his team mates under the bus (I am SO tired of that phrase, overdone by Big Brother I suppose). Chef was impressed with him for doing so, and Petrozza sorta cried because it meant a lot to him that Chef complimented him that way.

I loved it when Ben was getting yelled at and the whole time Matt was giggling I kept thinking "stop it or it will be you next!!!" I think Matt had every right to go over the top. He was the fall guy for the blue team and they blamed everything on him. I loved it even more when Ben left!!! ha ha ha ha ha

Maybe...and I'll only concede "maybe" it was better to see Matt all giddy-like than what we've seen from him all season:
Go Petrozza!

I used to love this show, but lately, I just cant listen to the yelling and screaming of abuse and insults coming from Ramsey. I dont know, it went from entertaining to appalling. He seems much more in control and nicer on Kitchen Nightmares.

I'm really tired of the hugely inflated egos. I think if they'd check their egos at the door, the show would be more enjoyable and they would be better chefs. Jen's attitude, after Ramsey yelled at her, was really telling. Such a childlike response (he said not to talk so I'm not gonna talk). Huh? Love Petrozza nominating himself. Ben deserved to go. Definitely. I was really tired of his attitude, too.

Costacat, I thought the same thing about Jen being childish....I think my daughter realized the foolishness of that kind of attitude at age 3. So far I see no stand outs, at all. I think tptb must weed out the applicants that have stable mental health.

In a way I understand Jen's and Ben's attitude. No matter what you do you are going to be wrong and verbally abused. Who needs that? I loved it when Jen said that she wouldn't be treated like a dog. At least she has some back bone. Why do any of these people go on this show? I used to enjoy it, but now with all his over the top antics I just get an "ick" feeling. I feel like I'm watching someone's bad marriage.

I know what you mean. Wouldn't it be great to see a real shining star come on here? You can't tell me there aren't better cooks out there just dying for their own restaurant.

Matt's expressions are priceless. I've been thinking that since the show started. He always resembles a sulky 3 year-old about to throw a tantrum (yeah, except when giddy). Next episode looks interesting! "Check the pancetta!!" lol

My DVR changed the channel at the very end and by the time I got back it was over. What happened and who left?

I was watching but still do not know if they found the finger tip. Did anyone notice if they did?

If they found the fingertip, it wasn't mentioned. I think most kitchens would have looked harder for it, but then they were in the middle of a dinner service and one person down. You do what you can with what and who you have - The dark-haired gal left - although I think it should have been Mat! Well, there is always next week -

The were in the middle of the challenge, not dinner. Matt was cutting up the pancetta and they sort of implied by camera shot that it ended up in the pan. He started over after the medic fixed him up and he wore a latex glove during the rest of the challenge. During dinner service he wore a heavier blue glove. Oh, the biggest reason why the blue team lost the challenge was because they were supposed to make 4 dishes using 20 different ingredients among them. They could overlap ingredients but they had to ultimately use all 20. Taste counted as well but Luross couldn't get his veal on the plate at the last second so the blue team only used 19 of the ingredients. Automatic loss. The food critics were there tonight and the red team was so horrible (except Corey) that Ramsey threw them all out and had half of the blue team go over and finish service. Jen had gone over to the blue team so the teams were even. Ramsey had Corey nominate two people from her team and they all did their begging to stay. At one point Corey muttered under her breathe something like "I'd like to nominate all 3 of you". However, she nominated Matt and Roseann and Ramsey had Christina also step forward. He told Christina that she was on her last chance (or words to that effect) and told Matt that he's been warned (or vice versa) and he kicked out Roseann who was so clearly out of her depth. Oh she started a fire tonight and she was on vegetables. It's always something.

I was under the impression that the Blue team's general disorganization caused them to forget the veal, so then they (mostly Jen) basically foisted the veal onto Louross and the dish he was already doing. That said, if he had just thrown the veal onto the plate they wouldn't have lost for THAT reason. Jen was pretty much insufferable all night and it looks like she continues in that vein next week as well. The red team got to go be made up and photographed with Chef for a magazine cover/article., while the blue team, with Jen loudly seething the entire time, had to wash linens by hand. One of the mentors who works with the teams commented on Jen's disposition a couple of times. She spent the time berating and bashing Louross.

You are right, Tess! It was in the Challenge that Matt cut himself. I don't think ingredients could overlap though - The Blue team did an amazing job on service considering how poorly they were getting along before the evening began.

Jen's sense of entitlement is wearing very thin with me. I'm wondering if this is setting up a Jen vs Corey finale.

And it wasn't that Louross couldn't get his veal on the plate, it was that Louross wouldn't put his veal on the plate, because he thought surf and turf was too cliche.

I think the major problem was that it was NOT Louross' veal! Jen's?

Yes, I think it was Jen's veal and Webchiq you're right. Luross most decidedly did not want to put that veal on his plate for a surf and turf. Watching his hands at that point, it was almost as if he couldn't make them pick up that veal. Quite strange.
