Local 'Kitchen' chef Carol Scott stirs drama
Peerless sous chef Carol Scott's feud with a teammate isn't going away on the latest edition of Fox's "Hell's Kitchen" (airing 9 p.m. Thursday on WTNZ, Channel 43).
In this past week's installment, Scott butted heads with teammate Andrea Heinly over just about everything. But when Heinly had the power to send Scott up for elimination, she didn't.
Scott figures Heinly didn't make the move because it didn't make sense. The two others she put up for elimination had worse records in the kitchen challenges. Scott, on the other hand, had been pulling her own weight.
Scott told me recently the blow-ups between she and Heinly will continue on this week's installment. Could this in-fighting be Scott's demise in the game?
Scott isn't saying.
But this much I do know: Apparently, Scott and Heinly have settled their on-air differences and are friends. Scott says the tension and drama of being in the game can lead to some strong emotions.
Scott shot "Kitchen" more than a year ago, but has to keep mum on the outcome.

An interview with Coi:
From cooking to clothes
Coi feels fashion is important, even in the kitchen
TVGuide.ca: So it seems everyone felt Andrea was the worst during [last week’s] dinner service, with the exception of Paula. Why do you think she threw you under the bus?
Coi: Well, I don’t think she wanted to eliminate herself because Chef Ramsay said she was the best out of us girls, and I did mess up on the burgers. But throughout the weeks, it seemed like I was pretty strong. Maybe I was her competition, that’s what I’m thinking.
TVG: Yes, you did come across as being a strong competitor. So why do you feel the meat station gave you issues?
Coi: There was just a lot going on. Generally, being on the grill is one of the easiest jobs, but somehow or other I just got trapped in my own little realm of grilling the burgers and slicing meat.
TVG: And after making one or two mistakes, is it hard to pull yourself out of that funk?
Coi: No, no it isn’t. I’m generally amazing in the kitchen. I’m pretty damn talented, excuse my language. I felt like after that first burger, I pulled myself out pretty well. My goal is not to keep thinking once you hit a tough spot – you just keep going. I think I was kicked to the curb way too soon, and I don’t think it was fair at all.
TVG: What was the deal with JP and Francisco? You girls seemed to love Fran, but JP despised him! Do you know why?
Coi: [Laughs] No, I don’t. Maybe because he was a little too chipper?
TVG: [Laughs] That he was!
Coi: Maybe his and JP’s personalites just butted heads. JP comes off as very posh and very well put together, and Francisco is very light on his feet. [Laughs] He has a way of laughing instead of being too serious.
TVG: I can’t believe he dropped the cake.
Coi: We all make mistakes! [Laughs]
TVG: Let’s talk about Lacey. You had an altercation with her in the beginning, which you later apologized for. But many people would agree that she deserved to be put in her place for her behaviour. So, was your apology because you felt badly, or was it more to benefit the team and your working environment?
Coi: The reason I apologized was because it’s never easy being an outcast, and she was on our team, and as a team we needed to succeed. I didn’t feel bad about yelling at her. My apology was so that she wouldn’t feel like an outcast and would pull it together and help our team out because one weak link in the chain brings us all down.
TVG: Looking back on your experience in HK, is there anything you would have done differently?
Coi: I probably would’ve been a bit more boisterous, and stepped up more as a leader instead of a team player.
TVG: What would you say is the best and worst thing about Hell’s Kitchen?
Coi: The best thing is meeting people from completely different backgrounds and hearing their stories and seeing what their careers have done because there’s nothing wrong with making friends, even if you’re in a competition. Definitely winning challenges is awesome too. And the worst part is realizing that you have to say goodbye to all the people that you’ve made friends with.
TVG: Yeah, you seemed to bond well with the red team. Are you hoping one of the ladies will win?
Coi: Absolutely. Those are my girls.
TVG: Is there anyone who stands out to you?
Coi: LA and Carol. We all had each other’s back. From the first day, we hit it off so well. But out of the four left, I think Paula is the strongest.
TVG: Did Chef Ramsay give you any advice that you’ll take with you?
Coi: Um, no. To be honest with you, I went in knowing a lot and I don’t feel like I learned too much. It’s not like he was standing right next to me saying, “Coi, try it this way.” But maybe I learned to be more like him. He’s brilliant. He has a show where dumb people go on to get screamed at. And he’s making money off it!
TVG: What are your plans for the future?
Coi: I am working on a clothing line for women, and it’s chef’s clothes. It seems like they make [all chefs’ clothes] one size fits all, and even though we’re in a male-dominated industry, we shouldn’t have to look like them. And if you feel good, you’ll work better. So I have come up with these amazing designs for all different body types.
