I think Dave was mad at Tennille because she fully agreed that they should put up Ariel, not Van. But in front of Chef she turned it around. Yes, Van was the better choice to go, but, also yes, she did toss a little stink-bomb at the boys with that one.

It should be Suzanne, but I'm guessing that David will want to put up Ariel (because she is a threat) and Tennille (because she didn't go along with booting Ariel) Kevin was also all for booting Ariel as the biggest remaining threat (except each other) So.. Kevin may go after David and David may go after Kevin but they seem to want Ariel gone first. What Chef Ramsay will actually do.. who knows?

Suzanne and Ariel were up for elimination and Suzanne went home. Dinner service was horrible with everyone messing up. Earlier, Kevin and Ariel tied/won a challenge. Reward was lunch at Shutters (restaurant on the beach)with Chef Ramsey and Bon Appetite editor. Their food will be displayed in the magazine and was also offered on the menu at Hell's Kitchen.

Thanks, Seabreeze. I was on the phone last night and could only get glimpses of the show. I did see an interview w/ Tenille last night and it looked like she had some strange marks on her arm. I don't know if it was some kind of fungus or cuts that got infected or burn marks. Granted, I was watching on the old tv where the color went on it, so maybe it isn't as bad as it looked to me. Did anyone else see it?

I haven't seen the show yet but am very glad to hear that Suzanne is FINALLY gone! I had a very real fear that she'd somehow make it to the finale. I think Ariel will be in the finale along with one of the two guys. I think Tenille is gone next week. If F3 is Dave, Kevin, and Ariel, then I'll be happy with any of them winning. I think all three have really proved themselves the entire season. Both Dave and Kevin working with injuries (esp Dave with his hand/wrist). And Ariel has quietly just done a good job all 'round.

Ariel was upset that she screwed up, but at least she admitted it, which Suzanne denied. Chef Ramsay told Tennille she was on thin ice herself. Dave, well, Costa, will be interested when you watch the show. When they did the first competition, Dave totally froze when he went up to present his dish.. he was so tongue-tied he couldn't tell them the name of the dish or what was in it. And he has been getting more nasty in his confessionals. I sort of hope Kevin and Ariel are final two, as long as both perform well between now and then, of course.

In Dave's defense, I think he's the best cook there--followed closely by Tenille--and that what people may be forgetting is that he must be in constant pain from his broken arm. I have chronic pain and I can totally identify with his bitchy attitude. Chronic pain can make you short-tempered, plus, he's not getting much sleep. I can't believe how horrendous the punishments are on H'sK! Prepping both kitchens, etc. The way Dave hurt himself originally was performing a stupid punishment: polishing a firetruck has nothing, absolutely zero, to do with cooking. Not a good tie-in, and I hope Ramsay learned something from the incident. Make the punishment fit the crime!

dave did something stupid. trying to shove his hand in a place that hands cant fit. Its unfortunate but completely his own fault. I'm glad it was his support hand, not working hand. That other guy cut his Working hand so couldnt continue. I dont think Dave is a good enough communicator to win. I've seen nothing special from any of these last contestants. The guy who made the mushy rice, KNEW it was mushy and overdone but didnt chose to make new....HE should have gone. that kind of sloppiness is not a top chef decision. Yeah Tenielle should ahve caught it but oh well. I get a kick out of her and she definitely can organize and roust a smooth running kitchen (when she wants to )

Sunshyne, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Dave's injury was stupid! The only thing more stupid than jamming his hand in between the parts of the firetruck was his pulling HARD to get it out when it got stuck! Why didn't he let the fire department help him? Firemen are experts at extricating people who are stuck in awkward places. ITA: Dave's not a good communicator, not good management material, and he has a very dark, angry streak. His frustration will keep him from winning, and it's just a matter of time before he snaps and Ramsay sends him home. My favorite line from Tenille: "You cooked some beef in gravy and wrapped it up in a crepe. JUST SAY THAT!" (about Suzanne's horrendously convoluted description of her artistic creation during the crepes challenge; that was hilarious.)

But part of being a head chef *is* the ability to communicate. When they have to direct the cook in the kitchen. Dave is failing in that part. Kevin & Ariel may have the best shot when they have a chance to show their abilities to direct the remaining contestants at dinner service.

Yep, I had been on the Dave train until recently when he got all dark and twisty and went after Ariel, admitting that she was the best of the women and he didn't want her to stay because she was competition. He also wanted to protect Van and was furious with Tennille when she truthfully answered Ramsay's question about the nominations. And he's been dark ever since. The injury was unfortunate and he had worked hard but it was his fault.. lack of judgement or bad temper causing same and then last week he was basicially dumbstruck and unable to describe his own dish in the first competition. Off that train.

I think Dave communicates well in the kitchen, but he certainly doesn't seem like he would be able to come out to a table of VIPs and do very well in a conversation. I kinda like dark, twisty Dave...better than smarmy Kevin, anyway! I couldn't STAND that scene of Kevin acting like he was oh, so worried about Dave's hand when really, he just wants Dave out of the way. At least Dave wasn't falling for it.

I must be the only one out there rooting for Tennille. I love her. I hope she's in the final two and can pull through a win based on her ability to communicate in the kitchen. But I realize its a looonnnnnngggggg shot!!! But they've all been screwing up so who knows. I really thing he likes her since she barked at him as good as he gives.

I don't think Tennille is that good of a cook. She doesn't know what a lot of the ingredients they use are.

I think she is a good COOK. I don't think she is a fine-dining restaurant CHEF.

OK, semantics, but I agree... she's a cook, not a chef.

I think Kevin would be the best choice. He seems to have the maturity needed to run a kitchen, and also good cooking skills. I wouldn't be disappointed if Dave or Ariel won, they have proven themselves to have a good grasp of the art of cooking, and aren't just cooks.

We always watch but we don't watch it "live" so I can't be much help with regard to spoiling.

Tennille was eliminated without a vote. Gordon said something to the effect of "No need to prolong your agony any further, give me your jacket." She was on fish station tonight and stunk it up pretty bad.
