I think that Gail, not Vinny, should have left for some reason.

I stayed awake for the end of the first hour, so I know that Rob left then. From the comment above, it seems that Vinny was the second one out! Definitely not a good night for the guys!!

Vinny really messed up very badly during dinner service, as did Gail. Ramsey said in the end Vinny left because he went downhill. Apparently, Ramsey thought Vinny was the one to beat at the very beginning.

No team won, each person had a vote as to who should not be in the final 6. All the girls voted for Trev.

I cannot see a clear winner out of this bunch or even a realistic top 2.

I just can't understand why professional chefs can't cook! What do people eat at their restaurants if they can't cook? Most home cooks that I know can tell whether fish, chicken, and/or beef are cooked or raw, so what's up with these folks? Making complex sauces with just the right balance of layered flavor profiles is one thing - cooking a scallop is another!

I don't think it's that they can't cook. I think this is just very high pressure at times, and they lose focus.

Every professional kitchen is high pressure - as is every professional meal service. They supposedly come from that sort of background, so I am still puzzled why they are so clueless about basic cooking technics - just my two cents worth.

Unlike Top Chef I think the contestants on Hell's Kitchen are cooks not chefs. Sure, some of them have the title from their jobs but very few seem to have the training or real experience when pressed. I also think this show is more scripted than Top Chef and I can't help but wonder if some ringers or plants are given some basic training and then put on the show as contestants. I've also noticed that, for the most part, Hell's Kitchen contestants and even the winners, seem to disappear after the show. Rarely do you ever see anything about them but I've seen several Top Chef contestants on TV talk shows or other appearances and not just the winners.

Not every kitchen is being filmed while you are being wildly humiliated by Ramsey's profanity, while you are trying to win a dream job. :-) So to me, that's a lot of additional pressure.

That's why (it seems to me) that one day they cook everything perfectly and the next they don't. Or they mess up one batch of something, and then immediately after get it perfect.

And I also agree with Mack, while a few of these are chefs, there are caterers and line cooks, and all kinds of variety of experience here, so that also accounts for some great amount of variability and consistency.

A poster at TwoP was on Hell's Kitchen this week. He said it was taped in February.

I still think Gail is going to win. Sure, she screwed up this week. But she's getting a great edit compared to others.

I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Gail in the final two. Sabrina, maybe thanks to editing either now or earlier, seems to have recovered from an awful start and she might make it to the final three or four or better. The other possible final two person is Russell but, maybe again thanks to editing, he's had some rough times in the last couple of shows. Kind of hard to see a clear cut favorite.

My guess for F2 -- Jillian vs. Russell, with Jillian taking home the win.

in many big kitchens, a chef/ cook ends up doing one area and getting to be very good at it. This is the first season that I cant remember who is a real chef with training, and whom is a self taught.

rmember that one season with the cafeteria worker? she went really far and Ramsay offered to pay for her to go to Cooking school because she had talent?

I think we have some green talent this season too. unfortunately, the negative Nellies on the teams have ruined any chance of teamwork.

I seriously dislike a few of those people like Trevor and Sabrina. Can u imagine Either of them as bosses??

i dont see any of the men as being contenders. Unfortuntely i think it is gail vs Sabr. my Guess

Worst dinner service - ever! These people are such a mess still. Every one of them (except Nona who served at the tables) botched their station and dishes. Ramsey ended up kicking them all out. Trev (grrr... he drives me nuts) and Sabrina were nominated and I would have loved it if they both left... but Sabrina was "flamed" - she really lost it at the end and tried to throw Gail under the bus. Just made her look really immature.

Wow, Sabrina really came apart at the seams and that's just after we thought she'd actually gotten her act together. Ah editing....it'll get you every time. Actually was still surprised it wasn't Trev even though Ramsey didn't seem to hesitate to cut Sabrina. Pretty much a lousy dinner service and none of them were good.

Not sure why Nona was thrown in with the others as having a bad service. Did I miss something about her serving the steak Diane?

That's true, Nona must have done well or well enough it didn't warrant editing or showing. It's been a long time since we've had Steak Diane, kind of made me miss it.
