I was hoping that Jen would go! Seldom have I liked some one so little! Nothing that happens is EVER her fault!

Matt was there last season???? I don't remember him... I want to know what happened to the waffle house cook that Chef promised to send to school and then she could come back on the show. The sweating made my stomach turn last night. But I think that even though Louross needed to go, Jen needed to go even more. I hope the girls really let her have it and show Chef that she isn't all that and a bag of chips like she thinks she is.

Matt hasn't been on before. I think the show is going to wait until waffle house(aka Julia) is forgotten. Then they bring her back and everyone thinks she's new. I'm rooting for Christine.

Trust me. No contestant has ever competed on more than one season...so far.

Shelb, Matt was not on last season. You can easily enough go to the show's website or Google and see who participated. Matt did not.

There is not one NOT ONE contestant this season that I would want as a chef in one of my restaurants (if I had a restaurant). I know they cast primarily on the unstable-ness and obnoxious-ness but give me a break there are plenty of very good chefs that are unstable and obnoxious...we've even seen them in previous seasons. Don't use this seasons casting people if there is another season.

The waffle house cook never took Ramsey up on his offer of school. Instead she came back to Atlanta and opened up her restraunt that I hear is sucessful. You can find her my space if you google "julia hells kitchen"

Go to Wikipedia and there is a Hell's Kitchen section and then links to each season and there is a wonderful chart for each season..

The name Tom comes to mind when I remember someone sweating into the food. I think he was in Season 2.

There was probably someone sweating into the food on every season! It happens all the time - kitchens are hot and chefs work hard!

Here is a portion of an interview with Louross from Buddytv. It appears the veal Louross refused to put on his plate may have been Bobby's, not Jen's.

**************************************************
In last week's challenge with the 20 ingredients it looked like the team kind of turned on you because of that thing with the veal.

Yes.


What was your reason for leaving the veal off of the plate?

It wasn't even agreed to put the veal on there. Bobby took so much ingredient he didn't know what to do anymore. I had pancetta on my tray, Jen takes it. I looked at her like, "What are you doing?" So I went for I believe mushrooms, snapper, lemon preserves, and onion I believe, or garlic. Back to the 20 challenge, Bobby didn't know what to do with the veal and then he was like, "You should do a surf and turf," and I was like, "Uh huh, what?" I went like that. Then Jen joins the bandwagon and was just like, "Yeah, I think you should do a surf and turf." That is not a surf and turf, okay, like literally putting veal with snapper. Just because you put fish and meat together, we're going to call it a surf and turf. No. Like literally she should have a reality check on her flavor profile because I guarantee you no one will eat that.

Bye Matt!

I won't ever eat at your restaurant!

I don't like Jen!

I think Bobby or Petroza are the only ones with a level head on their shoulders.

Not unhappy to see Matt go, but I dislike Jen even more.

Since we all(or most)hate Jen rest assured she'll win.

One of the reasons I'm not enamored of this season of Hell's Kitchen (although I am still watching!) is the need for the chefs to not only tell us how good they are but to tell us how bad the others are. Just show us you can cook, don't tell us.

That's why I like three of the final four on Top Chef. They've simply shown us over and over again that they can cook, and when they make mistakes, they suck it up instead of making excuses.

I think Jen is a very good cook. I don't, however, think she is a very nice person. She was fussing about Matt not owning his mistakes and turned around and did the VERY SAME thing herself.

I would trust her about as far as I could throw a refrigerator -

I think a lot of Jen's talk is producer driven, TV reality show drama - mixed in with lots of frustration for the situation (drama, cooped up,lack of sleep, mean girls, guys, etc)

I like Jen, except for her 'confessionals' I was happy she won, but I hated the attitude of the girls and she picked them - but maybe again, it was for tv drama??

I also think Bobby is flying under the radar!! I like him a lot too!!

Why didnt Ramsey have Jen on meats since her entree won?? I know why he picked Matty to be on meats... oh well...

I suspect Ramsey didn't put Jen on meats because he wanted to keep Matt and Christina together a bit longer fighting, etc....makes for good tv.

I don't have a problem with Jen.

How do we know that Jen hasn't owned up to her mistakes? Just because Corey or Christina say that's the case, it doesn't make it true; women can be catty, which Corey has shown cattiness from the very beginning. Remember Corey putting Jen and Christina up on the chopping block the first night because they were her competition; way too soon in the show.

Jen can be a bit double standard, but I don't see her as any worse than the other 2 women left, especially Corey.

Corey doesn't own up to her mistakes as well and she's a very devious person, so how is any one better than the other. Jen owned up to burning the rice last night, she fully admitted it to Chef and in confessional. It seemed a week or so ago a lot of people wanted to blame Jen for the veal incident with Louross by stating that Jen cooked the veal and wanted Louross to put it on his plate, but it seems from Louross's interview, it may have been Bobby who cooked the veal and was the first to suggest Louross put it on his plate to give to Chef; Jen then echoed Bobby's statement.

I think that alone shows that some of us are sometimes making assumptions based on subjective editing and what the other *competing* contestants are saying about the others, rather than just on complete facts. Jen can be bossy and abrasive, but I certainly don't think she's any worse than Corey and sometimes Christina.
