Nope. But I had to laugh when JP said "If I were in your shoes..." and then what's his name kicked off his shoes and said they're yours!

If his walking out would've messed things up, I think Ramsey would've not eliminated anyone last night. But it seemed as if it didn't really matter. It wasn't ever brought up again. Then again, it could've ended up on the editing room floor!

"Will we have to have a non-elimination show since one of the guys walked off? Of course, they know that as they are filming, but seems like a certain number of episodes are contracted for -"

I doubt it. In the past they normally have had weeks with double eliminations. They would just do away with one of the eliminations on that week.

i rewatched the episode. Interestingly, Mikey got two out of two points on his egg comp. SO he wasnt the worst cook.

I sometimes think Ramsay eliminates anyone who wont comform/ backdown to his authority.

I'm glad the weird guy is gone considering he professed to Love killing his animals and eating them raw. he seemed like a bit of a control freak and when caught Making Vichyssoise instead of mashed potatoes He flipped out.

I dont think Mikey should have gone. I personally dislike Mushy rice too

Funny you say that Puzzled- my husband said he was probably an actor and it was staged.

Kaili, I agree with your husband and I'm not sure that Salvatore's Italian accent is authentic, just saying.

Salvatore already pretty much insinuated that his accent isn't authentic.

i didnt get that at all. He came at 15 yrs old. He works with his immigrant family in an italian Pizza place presumably in an Immigrant Italian neighborhood.

I find it weird he doesnt speak english better due to being schooled in USA... but maybe not. Some people will send their kids back to whatever country they came from for a few years after they graduate. His accent seems very legitimate to me. His inability to be clear and concise may be why he is an Untrained cook with no papers and limited experience.

Frankly, i'm not sure how he got onto the show.

oh I should add that I went to school with Kids who spoke accented broken english due to their parents and others who Also remained with accent in the neighborhood.

it isnt unusual to hear UK accents/ East indian/ or Chinese accents from people who have been here for decades.

however, i do think Salv is hamming it up a bit.

He stated in the first show that he "kept" the accent because women like it.

He was put on the spot and I saw it as a flippant answer given with a wink.

just both our opinions of interpretation of his behaviour.

If the accent wasn't authentic, I think he'd lose it during the heat of the moment, when he's not thinking (like when Ramsey is yelling at him). But yeah, he did say he kept the accept on purpose. Not sure that THIS woman likes it but whatever! :-)

I mentioned Sal's accent right from the start...it doesn't seem real, at least to me. Something doesn't seem right about his speech.

I have am wee bit of an accent and I try to hide it but of course I never thought of using it to attract the opposite sex ;).

Nice to know someone else was suspicious, too, Kaili.

Glitterae, I think probably at the FOX website.

There are two episodes tonight? Anyone know why?

Jimmer thanks for the head's up - TWO shows?!

The Fox website does a good job of putting up the shows - they do make you watch a commercial tho!

According to my tv schedule it's one 2 hour episode containing 2 dinner services. After the first challenge one person is asked to leave and another one goes home after the second challenge.

Note the President's 8pm speech may preempt or postpone some of our favorite shows tonight.

Ok, I wasn't home and my DVR only taped 1 hour and 45 minutes so I missed who went home on the second hour. Can someone please fill me in? Scott was driving me nuts. He thinks he is way better than he actually is. Did the guys or the girls win the second one?? and who were the two put up and who left. Thanks for your help

Country, noone went home on the second hour. He moved Autumn to the men's team and Scott to the women's.

Gonna be interesting.

I was proud of Salvatore to put up his self-styled "mentor" Scott. He didn't let liking blind him to the fact that Scott was the weak link on the team that night.


Scott and Autumn seem to have very similar personalities as far as being "know it alls!" Fran is living on borrowed time in my book, but I really admire Nilka (spelling.) She is holding her own with folks with far more culinary education.
