Rats! I missed the end, thanks to American Idol going so long :-(

How did he send her home?? Just over riding them? I agree she was overdue.

And good for the guy for refusing to put Lacey up (even though I've wanted her gone).

I find it interesting that she was so effective when trying to prove herself. Too bad she didn't do that sooner.

He overruled the nominations of Andrea and J, though they were both horrible tonight on their meat stations. I could not believe that Andrea actually thought she could hide her burnt Wellingtons on a shelf and get away with it. J, well I have no clue what was tripping him up tonight.

I thought they would nominated Robert and Colleen and I think that is who Ramsey thought should have been nominated. Anyway, he sent Andrea and J back into line and had Colleen step forward and then sent her packing. Then he turned to the remaining chefs and told them that she had something that he didn't see in the rest of them which was fight and desire.

No way could they have justified putting Lacey up this week. For whatever reason, she rocked.

I'm not seeing a clear winner appearing yet out of this group or anyone to cheer on wholeheartedly. I don't like that. Usually there is someone I really want to win and whom I think really deserves to win. Not seeing it yet.

Working the line takes different skills - I once worked on the line at a hospital kitchen, it requires a lot of focus!

Darn! I was so focused on remembering to tape Survivor that I forgot all about this program!

Was Colleen the cooking teacher?

YEs she was Tnt - and I found it interesting (edit? producer?) that while Ramsey asked the men for 2 nominees and why (and Giovanni gave great reasons, while he was debating on putting up Robert, you could tell he did NOT want to put up Robert, but he told Robert he could not put up Lacey - she kicked butt - and if anyone's seen this show knows, Ramsey wouldnt have stood for Lacey being nominated anyway!)

Ramsey didnt ask for 2 Nominees from the women's side - I thought Colleen would've been the 2nd nominee - and thought it odd - but her hiding the meat really sent Ramsey into his spaz attack so that was justified nominating her...

Also, I thought it was nice that they showed a kinder, gentler side of Chef Ramsey - he kept yelling at "Bobby" and Robert wouldnt look chef in the eye - which made Chef even ANGRIER - adn he made Robert leave... later Ramsey said something about why he wont look me in the eye and Robert asked to talk to Chef privately - Chef was in his anger tantrum and just said "later"

Later the call came for Robert to meet with Ramsey. Robert said down, Chef was calm, easy going... (like he is on those rewards, or on talk shows) and Robert just said something about his father being Bobby and how Robert would be humilated by his father, and when Chef yells at him with Bobby it brings all that emotions up -

Chef apologized and said he should've told him sooner, that he wouldnt do that on purpose...

that's how I remember it - I dont have it down - but it adds a layer of conundrum doesnt it - you do get the feeling that Chef Ramsy does help some of these people - even as he is yelling and cursing at them -

so that's when I knew that Robert will be cut eventually, it wont be a mean cut - it will be a kinder gentler Ramsey - and I have a feeling Ramsy will likely follow thru - (I seem to recall a female contestant that Ramsey sent to a culinary school or somthing?)

Previews for next week look mighty interesting, and tumultous! (from the dining area too!!)

I don't think he asked for two from the men's team. I think Giovanni mentioned that Robert was under consideration but that he pulled it out in the end and was "safe" this week. Ramsey replied to that something like "you think?" Giovanni brought it up, not Ramsey, is my point! LOL...

I was glad Robert brought up how it made him uncomfortable to be called Bobby and I'm glad Ramsey actually took note of it and apologized. Although I love hearing his Brit accent say "Bobby", Robert has a right to being called by his real name.

I'm really made at AI for running FIVE MINUTES over, and then forcing HK to run over. I missed the end also, and so didn't see Colleen get sent home either.

Costa, you are correct. We had the DVR going like mad as shows overlapping last night due to AI which we're not watching this season. Anyway, Ramsey did tell both teams that neither team won and he shut down service early again. Colleen was even sending out raw dough and pear for dessert. He asked for Giovanni to nominate one of the men and LA to nominate one of the women.

Giovanni was torn over Robert but nominated J in the end because of his lack of performance on the meat station. LA nominated Andrea for the same reason. Ramsey told them both to step back in line and then called Colleen forward. He wasn't really harsh with Colleen, not as much as I would expect him to be given her lack of performance but he did note how many chances she'd had and she never pulled through.

After Colleen was gone was when Ramsey turned to the rest and said what he did about Colleen having fight and the rest of them not showing it.

Lacey was on garnish for the blue kitchen and was really running it. I don't think she will win but all she needed from either team to recover from her early behavior was a tiny shred of respect which is what she got when the guys couldn't do the origami and she taught them how.

So Lacey is Top Origami!

Ramsay had an abusive and alcoholic father who kept losing jobs and moved them quickly and often, so he could emphathise with Robert.

Thank you to Tess and all who helped us out with that last five minutes of the show!
I was so upset when I realized what AI run-over did to this show. But I knew I could count on TVCHers to fill in the blank.

How could we forget all those TAR debacles? I ended up having to tape the whole three hours on CBS since I fell for the Cold Case show after I kept seeing half of that show... I was taping 8-10 to make sure I would not miss TAR! Hey! Maybe that's their dirty tricks! :-)

Something needs to be revamped in this dvr system. If it's smart enough to follow the show through, we won't have worried. I know AI is to be blamed this time. But some times I have problems with Bravo and USA shows as well. Sporadically shows would either end late and push the ending of the next program off, or it might have started earlier than the dvr was asked to start.

If I was Andrea, I would have hidden the beef Wellington also.

What was she supposed to do with them? She couldn't serve them, and if she threw them in the trash, he would have screamed at her anyway.

At least she had a 50/50 chance with hiding them.

I bet someone ratted her out. lol!

Throwing them in the trash is at least owning her mistake! Far better to be yelled at for doing something honest, I would think -

You are most likely right, but I think that no matter what you do, you are going to be equally screamed at. So, I would take my chances. lol!

but then again, I would never apply for THIS show!

Thanks Tess! (For covering that 5 minutes that most of us lost!)

I agree, Tnt, throwing them in the trash would've owned up to the mistake, rather than trying to hide them (which amounts to lying about them). I think Ramsey gets madder when people try to get one over on him.

I'm reading Gordon Ramsay's Roasting in Hell's Kitchen and highlighted this quote just today:


quote:

Lying is the biggest sin you can commit in a kitchen. Working with someone who lies to you is worse than working with someone who can't cook.

Thank goodness for my friends here! Our DVR, behind because of the AI overrun, cut Gordon off just as he started to say who was going home and why. Had to rush in here last night and find out the who and why and you all came through!

Once Andrea burnt the Wellingtons, she was in hot water. There was nothing she could do that was going to save her from being yelled at. She would have been better served to just acknowledge it and hope someone else did something worse, which is what happened.

Probably hiding them was partly mitigated by the fact that she did not try to serve them. Now that would have been a disaster.

I did not like Danny very much at the beginning, but you know he is kind of growing on me.

He has that smirky little attitude that usually makes me want to do violence on someone, but I think it is serving him well here.

It seems he is able to keep his cool better than most of them, even when he is being yelled at.

It seems sometimes that he is more amused at Ramsay's tirades than upset.

Chef Ramsay was in the crowd of American Idol last night, and he was looking very fine!

I wa surprised at who went home - must have been some stuff we didn't see!

I was impressed at the nice manners of the bar mitzvah boy when he was test-driving the different dishes. He was courteous and obviously appreciated that both groups had tried hard to please him -

Who was the guy they brought in for the planner? They made a big deal about him and the matre di (who's name i cannot think of). I thought he was a riot. Although I've done two bat mitzvahs myself, and if i had that working with me, i think i'd go a little nutty.
