Sabrina "acted" like she was losing it - she talked someone into changing their vote for Gail instead of her - then Ramsey asked who should go up, he went to Sabrina, and shock - she named herself - then when Ramsey asked Sabrina why she should stay, she did a fantastic acting job and cried and threw Gail under the bus - because we all know that Gail ruined the fish, and Sabrina can cook fish - she just couldnt work with Trevor, he was the reason her appetizers failed, give me another chance Chef... IMHO - it was a true beautiful acting performance- complete with tears!! Honestly it has to come out that she was a plant - an actress! just sayin...

Not a Sabrina fan, but her talking about the cute chef cracked me up.

LOL Laneesmom - I said the same thing last night - first time I ever liked Sabrina - when she was carrying on about the French Chef! She was very funny.

I too have thought Sabrina must be a plant because nobody could really be like that in real life, could they? Either way, I must confess she did sort of grow on me. But, she needed to go. I previously predicted a Russell / Jillian F2 with Jillian winning. I want to formally revise that to a Russell win. I hate the thought as he's just too grumpy and arrogant for my taste, but he did hit the ball out of the park on the amuse challenge. That none of the others were even close does not bode well.

A local chef just had his second interview for the next season of this show! He has been doing the apps for the TN Performing Arts Center Broadway shows for the last three seasons, and he is incredibly creative and "outside the box" in his cooking. I had lunch at his bistro last week, and loved the food even though he was away for the HK interview in Memphis - Hartsville, TN, is a wide spot in the road, but apparently "if you cook it, they will come!"

Gail got a makeover and then asked to turn in her jacket. Ramsay left for a while and Trev tried to sneak old meat by Russell and Nona.

Dang. I got fooled by Gail's demeanor and her title as executive chef. Thought she would win.

That's a surprise. I don't get it. She won the challenge and I thought she was by far one of the better chefs over the course of the season.

I don't get this show at all....if I were Ramsey I wouldn't pick any of the ones left. No one stands out to me and I am soooooo NOT invested in the outcome of this show. Too bad Gail was booted. I liked her for most of the season. Glad she at least got the makeover. Great haircut!

Strange season. Russell seems the most authoritative, but his attitude is awful and he's had as many flat out losses (food truck) as he's had wins (amuse bouche) so I'm just having a hard time seeing why he's any more qualified or deserving than any of the others. Nona... I almost forgot she was still there. I like her personality but her cooking is pretty hit and miss. Trev... wow... how the h*ll is he still in it? I believe there is zero chance Ramsey will choose him. and last but not least, Jillian. I had her as a pick earlier but she seems to be loosing steam. I will say the one thing in her favor is that when you show her something she picks it up and doesn't repeat the same mistake again. This quality might tip the scales in her favor. What's Ramsey to do? I agree with Auntiemike that none of these fools seem qualified to run LA Market. Next episode looks interesting. Poor Nona.

The eventual winner will be "executive chef" at LA Market in name only. Roc's position at the italian restaurant here in Las Vegas was really nothing but a figure head. When we ate there he was shaving parm cheese for the appetizer tray, walking around and greeting customers, smoozing. He was NOT in charge of anything in that menu.

She won the challenge and I thought she was by far one of the better chefs over the course of the season. yes, and i think there must have been a reason... sabotage. I know people who just plain shut down when others start screaming and fighting with each other. With three strong LOUD personalities left in the kitchen, i think Gail just plain knew that she was being set up. Too many COOKs in the Kitchen..... never works no one likes to look foolish but considering often often the Scallops were being redone, its a miracle anything was made on time at garnish station. Then to be moved to fish, that was the death knoll. she knew everyone was going to nom her regardless.

I remember when Heather won the "head chef" job at Terra Rossa at Red Rock in Las Vegas. She spent a lot of time doing PR work for the casino. Went there once with a visitor and Heather was off because she had been on some trip. There isn't even a real title "head chef" in the industry, is there?

Being a spokesperson for some wine was also part of the prize this year. So I assume they will be sending the winner around doing PR gigs for the wine, the restaurant, AND the show. I doubt the winner will be spending much quality time working LA Market let alone be there. Which will kinda suck if the winner was not an executive chef to begin with. They will not have learned anything worthy during their year if they are just doing PR work and appearances. If they let them go after that year, they will still have no knowledge or experience, and will be back to where they started from.

With a quarter of a million dollar paycheck - not too shabby in my book!

Last season's winner, for some reason couldn't get a visa to live/work in London so they gave her a cash settlement, I gather.

Heather did come back at least one season as the girl's team assistent chef (up at the pass next to Ramsey). Last season's winner also had a child - is it possible the father wouldn't allow his kid to live in the UK?
