it was good Tnt - I liked the challenge where they blindfold them and have to try and idetnify foods - they are same texture, cut into cubes - or same texture - Bobby bragged that he loves truffles, when he tasted truffle he said it tasted like sh** and spit it out!! That was funny!! The girls ooops the RED team one (the last challenge was like Top Chef - where they tasted soup and had to tell 7 ingredients - didnt look good for red team, but they pulled it out!! and the reward was the photo shoot for TV Guide. Blue team served them dinner ( a few funny hiccoughs) and had to prep both kitchens....

service was usual biting with Carol and Andrea - and of course it was sad to see Lacey fall completely and totally apart when it came to meat service... really sad imho.

the men rose to the challenge and were clearly the winners - (chef saw the Lacey Meltdown and sent her home during service) called her spacey lacey... told the red team they were not a team, so get it together as a team and give him 2 names...

of course that wasnt going to happen - Carol got plenty of votes as did LA - but Andrea tried really hard to fight to keep herself OFF the block - she failed... the drama when chef asked for the consensus and again no team work so he pulled carol andrea and la up - and then heard their pleas and said Carol (dramatic pause while Andrea smiled_ and Andrea back in line - LA go home he said she wasnt a leader and food wasnt innovative (forget what adjective he used!)

I cant believe I remembered to watch!

Reader, thank you and thank you! I am glad to see Lacey go because I never felt like she was in the same league as most of the others. Being a caterer and being a chef are two different ballgames. Not to say that one is better, just that they develop cooking skills in different ways.

Lacey just did her usual petulant stuff during prep and totally melted down.. chef sent her out and talked to her and she came back but then she melted down later and he threw her out. About time. At least she didn't drag her team down to a loss this week.

I noticed that they all smoke - and I notice that every season... I guess the pressure of being a chef causes them to smoke.

I wonder if they - like dancers - smoke to keep their weight down?

Well - hard to tell! They might weigh in at twice as much if they didn't smoke! I surely don't speak for other locales, but I don't know a single skinny chef here!

That's funny, Laura. Robert is my husband's and my least favorite remaining contestant. My second least favorite would be Carol.

I like Gio and Paula and think they will be the two finalists. No spoiler there, just a gut feeling.

If "slow and steady wins the race" is true, Tess, you have identified the two finalists!

Cool Racsan, glad we're not the only one who thinks he's hillarious... I can see why people don't like him though... we just find him really funny

Robert really doesn't bother me. He is kind of funny. I don't see him winning this - but it doesn't piss me off that he's still there. I think he's one of the nicer contestants and I will probably miss him when he gets kicked out.

I think he has bigger visions of himself than are actually warrented. He is Waaaaay too slow to make it in a high volume kitchen -

What did Ramsey say to that lady who came up to him with her dinner plate?

Something like "don't whistle for me I'm not your dog. F off."

Yeah that was hillarious - but what a total setup, lol... what patron would go up to the chef herself and complain? no one!

I love how Ramsay just fires whoever he wants - no matter what team wins or loses, there are no rules there!

I'm thinking Danny will end up the winner. I feel bad for Ben though and don't think he's sabotaging anyone - it wouldn't make sense... Ramsay just loves to stick it to them where it hurts... I was glad he didn't light into Robert to much and actually told him not to give up...

Segway tour looked like a blast!

Challenge came down to Ben vs Danny. Chef said it was very close. Ben won, then was allowed to take someone and took Robert instead of Danny. They went to San Francisco on a private jet with Ramsay.

The rest had to check in food deliveries and Giovanni slacked. At dinner, Andrea melted down and Chef had her leave and the assitant guy gave her a pep talk, told her she needed to go back and fight to be there (interesting to see him get involved like that). Robert and Giovanni had troubles (oh they are the final six and now one team, the black jackets are out.) Giovanni put a really hot item in the cooler and Robert burned his fingers/hand.

Andrea/Giovanni targetted and Giovanni sent home.

After they went to sleep (and there is a pretty scary picture of Robert.. ) Chef called them back down in a hurry and said he was closing down the kitchen.

They showed them cooking to convince him to re-open on next week's preview.

Andrea and Gio

In Heathrow airport, terminal 5, there is a Gordon Ramsey resteraunt called Plane Food. I have eaten there twice and the food is amazing. So much so that we are looking forward to eating in one of Ramsey's other resteraunts.

If they convince Ramsey to reopen, it has to be a Paula / Danny finale. No one else even comes close to them. I felt bad for Danny and then to sit and listen to Ben go on and on. I just felt bad for him.

Pippin, I ate there to. I had a 6 hour layover and was tickled to see a Ramsey eatery there. I had to have the risotta and it was great. And very nice decor.

I am glad I forgot to tape it! Giovanni was my favorite guy. I want Paula for the win!
