Can someone please tell me the reason Corey gave for choosing Jen for elimination, I missed that part?

Ladyw, I too wonder where Maryanne is. Have there been no articles or rumors of her whereabouts?

Oh, and I believe the reason she gave for Jen was for personal reasons. She doesn't like the way Jen treats her in the kitchen and is a trouble maker. Or something like that.

She was just trying to get rid of her "real" competition.

Thanks Grooch.

Maryanne was the female sous chef (I think that's their title) that works with the female team, the way that Scott works with the male team. They're also the ones that bang on pots & pans to wake the contestants up at very early hours in the morning.

For some reason there is a new & different woman this time taking Marryanne's place alongside Scott.

Ramsey never goes along with nominations like that. Cory was being ridiculous. Ramsey isn't going to fire the stronger people.

Most reality shows it really doesn't matter who wins. Here it does. Ramsey can't make someone an executive chef whose only talent is strategy.

Thank goodness! I couldn't have listened to Jason's mouth for another episode. I wanted to stick a fork in him.

Agree with Twinkie. Jason messed up on every episode. His sexist attitude was getting on my nerves since last week's show. I was doing the "happy dance" when Chef Ramsey told him to hit the door.

I've usually picked a favorite by now, but no one has impressed me. I'm really disappointed in this group.

Jason appears to be a misogynist. I was appalled that every other comment out of his mouth was anti female. To me he seemed very weak in all aspects of the show. I’m glad he’s gone. And maybe after watching the show he’ll see himself and improve not only his cooking but his disposition.

I hated Jason's sexist attitude but... at some point last night I suspected that he was acting the role to some extent. I mean, I think he started out being a jerk towards women, and the producers latched on to it and "encouraged" it in his confessionals. He almost seemed to smirk at one point when he was being disrespectful to women, and that was when I got the impression that it was being played for the viewers.

At any rate, I am glad to see him gone. Isn't he the one who went and took a break the first show? And has never been able to remember what's on the menu? I also didn't see him working much in the fields (I couldn't tell, was that Chino Farms?).

I'm really surprised at the lousy cooks this season. Craig and Vanessa... they've been cooking for how many years? And he can't cut a chicken into 8 pieces and she can't cook a medium steak? Huh? (Heck, I don't even eat meat and I can cut a chicken into 8 perfect pieces and cook a medium steak!)

Psst..Ladytex, I always forget about this too. I end up seeing it here so I go to the fox website and watch the full episode there.

I really love the networks that show full episodes online.

Costa, I agree, I've felt from day 1 that Jason was putting on more of an act with his sexist attitude. It just never came across as purely genuine to me. Also, isn't man's sexist mantra that a woman does indeed belong in the kitchen cooking, so wasn't Jason actually doing "women's work" by cooking food being a chef, according to neanderthal thinking. Everytime he'd say something about "women's work," I'd think aren't you doing it by being in the kitchen cooking. LOL

LOL Ahnicka. The only problem with that is that commercial kitchens have been mostly dominated and run by men. So while yes, women should be "in the kitchen", that's the kitchen at home! :-)

Yes true. I just still thought it to be ironic & funny coming out of his mouth, because I bet true misogynists still wouldn't step foot into even a commercial kitchen to cook. LOL

Just when I thought last season's group was the overall worst they came up with this group. Can't disagree with any of the ones gone so far. What's really hard to figure out with this show is the editing and to what lengths they might go to "hide" the top chefs. I trying to get a feel for Louross, he might be one of those sleepers who gets to the final 2.

Craig was cut, he was supposed to do the "pasta" but honestly, he seemed nice and all, but just in way over his head... so it was hard to watch him cook - and hear Ramsey yelling - but did anyone else get the impression Ramsey held back some major tantrums he could have flung at Craig?

Too many reality shows on Tuesdays!!

Your right too many reality shows on Tuesdays!

That burn the woman got look serious. I'm not sure how she's expected to cook next week with just one hand/arm. Cooking is not very agreeable one handed. Anyway I hope she heals.

Craig certainly seemed out of his element. Numerous times when he was asked about the time for competition he just ignored the request.

I find Hell's Kitchen to be one of the more contrived and scripted of the reality shows I watch.....still I like it.

I love Hell's Kitchen but my 11 year old son is really bothered by how Ramsey speaks to the chefs. He always asks me if it's 'real'. Of course I say no.

Craig had been floundering since day one! And he's (supposedly) been doing this for 13 years? Seriously?

I really felt bad for Vanessa... oil burns are nothing to take lightly! I hope she doesn't leave, but from the previews it looks like she's thinking about it. I hope Ramsey talks her into staying and the rest of the girls give her a break and give her easy things to do.

I don't know where some of these "chefs" came from, but some of them are supposed to be much better than they are showing. I mean, seriously... pasta, burgers, and onion rings? And they had problems?????
