I can't believe how full of himself Ben is. The way he talks down to those girls. And his saying things to the effect of "when I tell you to do something, you do it, no back-talk/questions allowed." Who the heck appointed him boss of the kitchen anyway, and why the heck are they letting him do it?

Ben reminds me of a girl I worked with, who was also quite full of herself. She also had the habit of singling out people and deeming them worthless, and telling anyone and everyone how useless they were in their jobs. The sad thing was, management usually listened to her, and the hapless person usually was driven out of their job just like Ben's done to Siobhan, Fran, and now Nilka. I wonder who he'll target next?

Whoami... Maybe he'll single out his own reflection in one of the two-way mirrors!

Autumn can't cook as good as she thinks she can. Haven't seen her do well on any individual cooking challenge.

so lucky she should be buying lottery tickets - every time she's moved to a team, that team has won the team challenge! and know she cant hold her own in the kitchen - much less lead

Could someone give me a phonic pronunciation of Siobhan? I kept thinking I heard it one way, then the next time I would hear it differently. I am assuming it is Irish?

Yes, it is Irish. It's pronounced "shuh-von". (I grew up with a girl named Siobhan. She hated her name, no one could pronounce it when they called attendance on the first day of school.)

My cousin in Ireland says: Sho-bvahn because that's her name... She jokes that the English & Americans mispronounce everything. She says pretend the Dr. tells you to open and say: aaah. The bv blend is harder to master...
What a sad meltdown for Nilka, but she was not head chef at Ramsay's Savoy in London material. Jason seems to want it most. Leaving Ed: is too new & unreliable, Ben is too full of himself, Jay knows that and concentrates on getting Ed out of the way. I like Holli and her desserts to die for. She aces many entrees, too, and is a shoo in to win! Unless Ramsay ties his apron over his head...

Thanks, Costa and Riviere! Maybe I WAS actually hearing it two ways although the first one was more what I thought I heard from Chef Ramsey.

Many Spanish speaking countries use a sort of"bv" blend for intial "v's."

LMAO - until recently, I always though Siobhan was pronounced as shobin. I'm such a dork, and of Irish descent as well.

Now we know why we were getting the double episodes! Because they (Fox) were going to devote THREE whole hours to baseball last night!

ummmm...Holly....really? Jay? is it that desperate at the Hells Kitchen Ranch? Perhaps you should stay off the bubbly.

Tired of Benjamin's schtick.

We were really kind of surprised at Jason going home last night. Seems the wheels have come off of Ben now and he, at least in our minds, had a worse two show series of problems than Jason.

Who got kicked off the first hour, and who got kicked off the second?

I've not been a fan of Ben's for a long time now. I don't like the way he treats people, and especially women. That plus the ginormous ego (that is not justified) was enough to make me not even want to record this last night.

Costacat - Ed left the first hour and Jason the second.

I still can't figure out why Ramsey kept Ben instead of Jason. Granted, Jason has a temper but Ben froze up, couldn't cook and didn't communicate.

After looking at the previews I have a feeling it's going to be between Ben and Autumn in the finale. They showed Ramsey saying something to the affect "that in all his years of Hells Kitchen he has never had to do this." I think "this" will be forcing either Jay, Holli or both to leave the show due to what appears to be their romantic involvement. I hope I am wrong because I really like Holli. I don't know what the heck the girl is thinking getting cozy with another contestant.

Thanks guys!

And ugh. I hope y'all are wrong about a Ben/Autumn F2. I'll definitely stop watching then, for sure. The two I dislike the most.

I'd kind of like a Holli/Jay F2, but if they are knockin' boots, yeah, I'd bet Ramsey'd kick 'em out. Pooey!

Autumn cannot cook! And no one will follow her as a head chef in the final competition.

I respect your opinion, Kona, but I am not sure what you are basing it on. I don't remember Autumn getting her food turned back at the pass nearly as many times as others of the group, nor does she appear to be holding up service as often as others have done.

It's hard for Autumn to get her food turned back or to hold up service if she doesn't do anything. Last night she was on desserts and didn't offer to help Ed with the fish when he was struggling to keep up. Others did, I noticed. She has always been the one to tell others how to do things or when to do them....I have rarely seen her perform. She certainly does not show any leadership qualities.

I would be happy to see Autumn and Ben leave soon!

I can't stand Ben. His ego will get in the way of life. He brags about himself, but he is constantly screwing up in the kitchen. He doesn't accept help from anyone and just tells them to get away from him. Wants to do everything himself and then screws it up. I think Jay is the most consistent chef. Holli is also pretty good. Why would Ramsay get rid of H and J because of a relationship. I don't get that.
