Topic: Hell's Kitchen Season 4

[apskip]

Christina did burn Ramsay's hand twice in the exact same way! His relatively mild reaction was indicative of the fact that he wanted to keep her in the competition by not spooking her. That was to assure that he would not have to allow Jen to make it to the Final 3, a fate which nobody would wish on a decent guy like Gordon Ramsay.

Well.........  Seriously, Jen could not run a kitchen. Even Petrozza had something bad to say about her last night which surprised me because he generally does not comment on the other chefs.

Honestly, I just cannot see anyone remotely capable of running a kitchen now other than Petrozza. Corey, yes after she gets more experience, Christina also has an excellent  future but she needs time as Ramsey pointed out to her a few episodes back.

[apskip]

I quite agree about Petrozza being in the lead right now. The big advantage Petrozza has is that Ramsay is looking for an executive chef who will work under his occasional in-person direction. What is most important in that environment is that when Ramsay is away(most of the the time) from Hollywood London West, he will be able to trust Petrozza to give him the straight story. Neither Corey nor Christina have the wisdom that Petrozza have although they appear to be about equal in culinary talent. I am waiting to see which individual should get the dreaded meat station next week. I expect that it will not be Petrozza. I also expect that either Corey or Christina could be overwhelmed by that station and that whoever is lucky enough to not get it will face Petrozza in the Final 2.

.... next week on Hell's Kitchen

SURPRISE GUESTS LEAD TO A SURPRISE CHALLENGE FOR TOP 3 CHEFS ON HELL'S KITCHEN

Chef Ramsay surprises the Final 3 chefs by bringing in a few special guests to join them for a breakfast he prepared.

After the guests leave, Ramsay asks the chefs to recreate the signature dish they just ate.

This challenge throws a couple of the chefs off their game, which leads to them scrambling in the kitchen.

During the dinner service, Ramsay hands over the reins of HELL'S KITCHEN to each of the Final 3 and the chefs each take a turn running the hot plate.

But Ramsay and his sous chef purposely start sabotaging dinner to see how the chefs react in the "3 Chefs Compete" episode of HELL'S KITCHEN

bb ca fan,
That sabotage is a standard for the final few of each Hell's Kitchen season. Scott typically does most the the dirty work, with Gordon Ramsay himself doing a little. Any of these chefs who have failed to watch prior seasons and to deduce that they can expect this sabotage are complete fools who deserve to lose.

Thanks Ca for the preview. 

You are so right Apskip, they do it every year, but I had forgotten. I really REALLY cannot wait to see who it is that Petrozza yells at! (And I see nothing wrong with it if it is appropriate for the situation.)

I also believe that Petrozza saying Christina should leave is just a diversion for us to chew on while we wait for next week's episode.

An excerpt from today's Newark Star-Ledger on Gordon Ramsay:

"The inquiry heard evidence that the volatile chef and restauranteur used a favorite curse word 80 times in a 40 minute episode. In Australia, racy programming is usually aired uncut after 830pm.
 Ramsay's response yesterday? Don't watch if you don't like the lingo."

Now, aren't you glad(NOT) that we have censorship here in the U.S. to keep us pure while such baloney is flying?

Thanks apskip I did read the Associated Press article.

I don't think Ramsay's choice of words is what is ruining our society.

I agree with Ramsay's response.

ha ha ha I'm laughing apskip I can't wait to see which complete fool fails as his prey.

[Belle Book]

I'm willing to bet Corey will fall for the trap.  Christina is a recent graduate of culinary school or a culinary student (I'm not certain which) and probably inexperienced, so she might fall for it as well.  I doubt Petrozza will fall for it, but who knows?

Interesting comment Belle, it COULD be that's why Petrozza goes ballistic, he caught the bad food. Can't wait for tomorrow night.

TL did I miss a preview I don't know where you saw Petrozza yelling at someone or goes ballistic

I did see Petrozza role playing prior to the Hot Plate challenge.

Ramsay always makes them role play before the challenge to see what they got before the challenge begins

So is that what your referring to.

I can see Ramsay coaching Petrozza during that. It's just for fun, it's role playing.

[careybear]

I am really rooting for Corey, I know she has been a little spinless but I really hope she goes all the way

[apskip]

ca bb fan,
You might be right about Ramsay having the role-playing involving reprimanding him. It's so incredibly hokey that it is worthless. However, my memory tells me that it occurs in in Final 2, not Final 3, in Season 3. Only Bonnie and Rock were involved.

You know apskip I still don’t know if there is another preview that’s out there but I’m only going by the one on HK’s site the second preview clip.

I agree it’s hokey. Petrozza does not sound like a leader a professional in charge but rather just yelling ineffectively.

From the second video clip here is what was said. I see it as role playing. Petrozza is clearly yelling at Ramsay trying to run the kitchen.

Petrozza yelling: I told you to cook one off ahead of time, period. You should have had one cooked earlier
Ramsay says: So why didn’t you check it
Petrozza yelling: It’s not my job to check it. It’s your job to check it. Do your job and do it now
Ramsay says: I got the message

I believe Ramsay will have the final 3 role play in this episode based on the preview clip and episode summary that I already posted earlier.

Posted  below is a summary of the final 3 episodes, no surprise there.

Episode 13

Episode 14

THE FINAL TWO COOK FOR THEIR LIVES ON "HELL'S KITCHEN" TUESDAY JULY 1, ON FOX

Whoopi Goldberg to Make Special Guest Appearance

The final two chefs have survived the wrath of Ramsay and many disastrous nights in HELL'S KITCHEN and are rewarded with a trip to New York City to visit Gordon Ramsay at The London New York. It's not all fun and games, however, and the chefs are asked to prepare their signature dishes to be judged by Chef Ramsay's five executive chefs from around the world. When they head back to HELL'S KITCHEN, the final two begin the journey to design and run their own restaurant. From the menu to the dcor, they must prove their skill and passion to win over Chef Ramsay in the "2 Chefs Compete" episode of HELL'S KITCHEN


Episode 15   Season Finale

IT'S THE FINAL SHOWDOWN ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "HELL'S KITCHEN" TUESDAY JULY 8, ON FOX

Winner to Receive Coveted Prize of a Senior Chef Position at Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood

The final two chefs are one dinner service away from being crowned the winner of HELL'S KITCHEN. The chefs have selected their staff, created the menus and chosen the dcor. After some final words of advice from Chef Ramsay, the doors of HELL'S KITCHEN are open. As the orders start coming in, both teams are off to a slow start with the kitchens running out of food and appetizers being served cold. The final two need to slice and dice their way to the top to prove to Chef Ramsay they have what it takes to work in his restaurant on the season finale of HELL'S KITCHEN

Oh Poo.. you might be right, I was referring to the preview at the end of last week's show, which of course was for the drama of it all so we'll be sure to watch tonight. 

They fly to New York!! Interesting! Thanks for posting the info Ca.

Corey's gone. Between Petrozza & Christina, my moneys on the girl   

[TexasLady]

Corey's gone. Between Petrozza & Christina, my moneys on the girl   

I just don't know! She makes more mistakes than Petrozza, but she has won the last 3 challenges and I give it to her for knowing that the dish Chef Ramsey cooked would probably be a challenge and detecting that there was a sauce involved.

OTOH, she does go to pieces.   

[BballKates]

This is a really tough call. And I think that Corey's down fall was that she would be a better assistant chef than a head chef. She worked well with people on a team but it was clear that she was not able to take control and be a leader.

Petrozza has the experience but seems lazy and often forgetful. Christina has less experience and sometimes has trouble bouncing back but has stepped up to the challenge and really proved she can cook.

I don't know who is going to win. I'm going to give a slight edge to Christina because I think she has made mistakes yes but not made as many silly mistakes as Petrozza. I also think Christina can grow a lot more and Petrozza may have already hit his culinary prime particularly in relation to Christina. Gosh I don't know....

Anyone got any spoilers.

[apskip]

I will only say that Petrozza got in on his consistency in spite of his failure to detect the missing peas. Once that happened, the other two would have overheard what happened and known what to do to avoid that type of mistake. Unfortunately, Corey fell into the trap. Christina did not and was very lucky. Christina performed very poorly on the fish station but he did get her 3rd consecutive win on the challenges, which I think led Ramsay to conclude that she has more culinary talent than Corey.

That and I think it was very clearly tonight that Corey is not a leader despite being a great team player.
