Giovanni just fell apart last night and did the unforgivable, he yelled back at Ramsey. I sort of got the idea he was tired of the whole thing.

I'm surprised Giovanni was sent home. I'd have thought he would've been in the finale (at least F3). But if he was yelling at Ramsey, oh, yes that would be unforgiveable!

TNT, if you had seen it you would probably be ok with Giovanni leaving, after his lack of performance last night. It wasn't just the yelling back but not working as a team.. Ramsay has stressed to the six of them that they HAD to work as a team now. Not that many did.. but the lack of teamwork started during the punishment where he slacked in unloading the delivered food and had attitude about that and then extended to the kitchen and of course what he did with the very hot thing in the cooler without warning anyone was dangerous. I did feel for Danny and how he was treated after the first competition, but if he wins, all that won't matter.

You are probably right, Sea! I don't like anyone not pulling their weight in whatever has to be done. Could it be that I like that Italian accent and Latin look?

I did not understand the comment Gordon made about bacon allergies when Robert cooked the bacon with the dory. I can understand shellfish allergies, but never heard of bacon ones.

i did not get the bacon allergy reference either but maybe it was more of a warning to exercise care because some do have food allergies (i am allergic to shellfish) food allergies are nothing to mess with

Observant Jews could not eat the bacon in that dish. I didn't see the show so my comment might not apply, but that would be my take on the use of bacon.

Jews, Muslims and anyone with almost any sort of dietary restrictions. A person might order the fish dish for health reasons and the bacon fat destroys any health benefits of fish.

I so want spoilers!! lol - I was so ok with Giovanni leaving, I've enjoyed him - and when they showed what he had done, I had forgotten that he was decent in the kitchen, but I think he just started to feel to confident, or perhaps he just got tired of playing the game? He was annoying at losing the challenge and having to unload the truck - - well not as annoying as Ron and Robert talking about their trip!! ITA - bacon shouldnt have been added to the fish dish! actually I'm kinda surprised Robert has lasted this long... none of them really stand out - to be this far in the comp anyway...

Jews, Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, Baha'i, many Buddhists, Hindus, Rastafarians, traditional Catholics on Friday, those who eat fish but not meat, those with allergy to pork (my aunt could literally almost "die" for pork spareribs), not to mention the integrity of the recipe, I suppose..

It must be some wierd sickness I have cause I have no idea why I still watch this show. I truly hate Ramsey's in your face screaming and cussing and call the contestants horrible names like F face, fat cow, ect. I wish they would get rid of Ramsey and put a human being in there, he is just plain classless and crudel. His screaming and cussing serves no real purpose I can see except as "entertainment" for the masses, guess it makes him feel macho or something.] I am rooting for Paula or Danny, Robert is funny but I do not think he is as good a chef as the other two, Ben and Andria just THINK they are much better chefs than they really are.

It may not be allergies, just the word Ramsey used. I almost always have to ask if something has bacon in it. Even corn chowder usually has bacon in it. Then, of course, eejits make vegetable soups with chicken or beef broth, which is so stoopidly ridiculous... use a vegetable broth, peeps, please!

I know its messed up Costa, then ds gf comes to dinner, I have to really stop and think - esp at Passover time - I really cook a lot with butter... and pork! I never knew how much until I tried to tell her - Bless her tho - she is good with eating my cooking, even when I have sausage in my speghetti, and stuffing recipes!! I think I like Ramsey more because I've seen him on other shows, and he is actually human - I think a lot of his blowups are for the camera/ratings... and yet????

DS's GF is vegan? That's a whole 'nother issue, too! It's interesting how often I ask (in a restaurant) if something is vegetarian and they'll say yes. Like, is the mushroom risotto vegetarian? When they say yes, I always ask if they can go find out what kind of broth was used. More than half the time, guess what? It ain't vegetarian! (And yes, the wait staff are usually appropriately sheepish and thank me for helping to educate them! <grin>) I dunno if I could do it, eat your 'sghetti with sausage. Most of my family now actually stop to think, although my dad often forgets and asks me to taste the gravy at Thanksgiving, or some other thing. My dad... LOL!

DS's GF sounds Jewish - hence the Passover reference. Observant Jews can't have dairy and meat in the same food or on the same plate. There are other special dietary rules for Passover as well. Orthodox families have two sets of dishes - one for dairy dishes and one for meat dishes. It was a shock to me when I went to college and found that everybody had not grown up with matzo in the cafeteria along with the cornbread during Passover. Because we lived very close to the Orthodox synagogue - Orthodox Jews can't drive on the Sabbath - we had lots of Jewish families on our little one block long street!

I was sorry to see Robert go. I am not sure who I am rooting for to win. They all get on my nerves LOL!

Danny or Paula for the win. Neither Ben nor Andrea can pull it together.

IMO, the only reason Ramsay picked Andrea to win the challenge was to create drama. Her dish was a big nothing. It sure made the others squirm and could be why the service was so bad.

I agree that Chef picked Andrea for the drama. They had already lost Robert so they didn't have to get rid of anyone else. Paula and Danny are the only 2 with a chance to win. Ben is delusional and keeps putting himself in the top tier with Paula and Danny.

Wife and I think it'll be Paula and Danny in the final. Ben is too full of himself and Andrea can't cook more than one dish at a time. We're for Danny!

Both Danny and Paul have a quiet authority. Ramsey always seems to like what they make. Either one could win and I would be happy, but I would really like Danny to win it all.
