Please don't keep bringing Robert back. Its obvious he can't keep up in his condition.

I hope Robert gets back to better health. However, I don't enjoy him as a contestant on the show.

I'm with you, Jimmer! I definitely don't like the way he speaks about women -

This show is so staged, the bike ride with Robert, how convenient that he has to go to the hospital over night, doesn't get fired. They are setting Robert up for the win. The fight with Tennille what another setup, it was FAKE!!

CC58 - I can almost promise you that Robert is NOT going to win. On the men's team there are at least two chefs better than he is, and I think that probably there is at least one on the women's team who can out-chef him.

His physical condition is his own worst enemy. He had a wake-up call on a previous show - it appears that he has chosen to hang up and continue to dig his grave with a fork. I hope he sees the light and adopts a healthier living plan -

Robert has a chip on his shoulder the size of a side of a cow, and there is no way he's gonna adopt a healthier living plan. He's a martyr about his weight and he uses it to try and garner sympathy.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who looks like that and who had a health scare. He had plenty of time to start losing some weight and working on his health and it's obvious he doesn't want to.

I've said this before, he is not amusing no matter how much he thinks he is. Aside from that fact that I'm disgusted by how he looks, I'm disgusted by what comes out of his mouth. He has a real hate on for women.

Oh and I totally agree... no chance in heck that he's gonna win. Ramsey brought him back as a shark jumping maneuver. Robert wasn't that great a chef on his first season and he didn't learn from that experience.

I'm not disgusted by how Robert looks and I don't know if Robert has done anything to change his lifestyle and try to lose weight.

What I don't like at all is his attitude on the show, the way he treats the other contestants (particularly the women though he is no charmer when it comes to the men either) and his temper (particularly outside of the kitchen). He is also displaying a rather large ego.

Sadly (for Robert) I think he is more of a gimmick than a potential winner.

Ohgoodgawd. I totally forgot about his temper!!!

I think you're right Jimmer... gimmick is a good word for him. It's why I said I thought Ramsey jumped the shark bringing him back. There was no real reason to since he never really shined his first season. It was a gimmick to get people to watch.

Unfortunately, between Ramsey's rantings and Robert's rudeness, this season (which returned way too quickly for me) is pretty much not enjoyable. :-(

I'm kind of used to Ramsay's rantings. At least he keeps it in the kitchen and is fairly pleasant outside of the kitchen. Robert's rantings are annoying both inside and outside of the kitchen. His attitude is just so bad. I guess it's a matter of volume. I can tolerate Ramsay's rantings but the show doesn't need a second Ramsay in Robert form.

Kevin seems to be a complete slam-dunk to win this. I'd like to see him win but I have my doubts that he will. It just seems so obvious.

I was even more turned off by Robert's whole "I almost died" crap. Like its the show's fault he "almost died" and I guess because of that everyone is supposed to bow down to him and let him have his way.

Jimmer - I was just about to post that I thought Kevin is looking more and more like the prime contender when I saw your post. The cameras haven't focused much on him other than the times he's assertively taken over the kitchen so it's hard to say just how good he is as a cook. So far he seems to be the best of the men and way, way ahead of the ladies. On the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time a leading candidate has turned out

Robert needs to lose weight for the sake of his own health, and frankly it seems the damage that's being done is putting him dangerously close to dying.

I think it was nice of Ramsay to bring Robert back after the way he left the first time, but I didn't think much of Robert's skills (cooking, people or otherwise) to think he would be a serious contender for winning the show.

As far as Ramsay ranting in the kitchen, he has said that he does it on purpose because his chefs need to learn to deal with that kind of abuse and tune it out and just do their jobs in the kitchen. Many chefs get eliminated because they can't stand the pressure and function in that environment.

I really like Ramsay. If you watch him on the F Word and his other shows, he REALLY cares about his chefs, and is a really good and caring mentor and teacher to them. He cares about food, about cooking, about the customers and about his employees.

As long as Robert smokes, he is a walking cardiovascular time bomb.

Put him on The Biggest Loser but he won't succeed because he doesn't really care enough yet to do something about his health.

You can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. He has to want to change before he can change.

I was watching an old episode of Kitchen Nightmares. I heard him say that a Chef needs to yell back and stand up for themselves. Based off of that, Tennille may win...lol

I think Ramsey respects people who do stand up for themselves. But that said, there IS a limit and the head chef should command respect.

And yes, I know why Ramsey yells at the peeps. It just gets old after a while. Although this season I've noticed there is glass separating parts of the kitchen from the dining room, so maybe the diners are spared the full effect of Ramsey's wrath. I think that's the part that bothers me most... his ranting where the diners can hear. The diners should never know that there are issues in the kitchen. Unless it's obvious, as in when the food isn't coming out in a timely fashion. :-)

The worst part, to me, is that there are sometimes children in the dining room who should NEVER be exposed to such rants and strings of swear words.

I had to laugh at Robert saying his heart is small for his body.. I'd say his body is probably large for his heart...

And.. Ciao, Roberto!

With the kind of attitude that he displayed on the show, I can't say I'm sorry to see him go.

Sia - The parents of the kids in the dining room elected to bring them there. I don't doubt for a moment that the parents must know about Ramsey's behavior in the kitchen -
