HK6, ep. 3
Those of you following Ep. 2 know that it ended with a "cliff-hanger" due to Joseph being about as insulting as could possibly happen to Gordon Ramsay. There were security personnel prominent on camera as their verbal battle finished. Ramsay said that Joseph wanted this to be "up close and personal" but that was not appropriate. He told Joseph that he "had no respect" (wow, is that true) and "now get out." Jim says that Joseph got totally out of control and that he was glad to be there with a "front row seat."
Joseph is rightly sent packing. Then Ramsay asks Kevin for the nominations and why. Kevin responds that Tony is nominated for his consistent bungling on the meat station and Andy is also nominated for his "chicken nuggets" problem. Tony rightly gets eliminated, but the imbalance in the teams causes Robert to shift to the Blue team. Somebody on Blue comments that this is a win for the Blue team.
At 205am. Scott and Heather wake and then direct all cheftestants to exit the building immediately. This is Ramsay's idea of fun and games. He wakes them so that a group of firefighters (or more likely based on the behavior I saw FOX extras playing firefighters based on the portrayals of them in several TV shows and movies) can be fed and the chefs will theoretically learn preparation and teamwork from them. This Challenge is first team to finish serving all firefighters wins. Now, what do we know from the history of all past challenges? The Red team always wins if personal services are the reward. It turns out that the reward is a helicopter trip to a spa, although we only know that after the fact. Anybody can clearly see that the challenge is deliberately stage managed so Red wins. The Blue team has initial problems with garlic bread which must be served before any food can be. Red stays ahead on the pasta and chicken as Blue teamwork and individual performance shortcomings allowed the Red team to finish first and win the reward. The men got to clean the firetrucks. While doing so, Dave's hand was injured and heading back inside Kevin injures both ankles. The get first medic and then ER attention. Kevin gets a boot for one ankle and an air cast on the other one. Dave gets a splint for his wrist. Both elect to continue when Ramsay asks them.
Service is about to start and Ramsay nominates Lovely for the dining room position. Dave volunteers so he isn't a burden to those in the kitchen. Ramsay has all repeat the mantra "We must complete this dinner service."
Robert comments that Van is like a pit bull. Van has the appetizer station and starts Blue off with a risotto Ramsay calls delicious. Tennille is having her problems with cooking scallops. She does not know the proper technique, which uses a small amount of olive oil. Ariel is trying to help her but Tennille pushes on with it, only to discover that Ramsay rates here scallops as unservable as a result of the cooking technique. On the Blue team, Andy is trying to cook scallops with 14 in a small pan. Robert tells him to move half to a second pan. Lovely takes 45 minutes to get the first order into the system, as she was asked by Jean-Pierre to find a special bottle of wine and she was incrediably inefficient. Amanda brings 8 lamb entree plates out when the correct number is 9. Ramsay runs her through a simple multiplication test (which she fails not once but again at the end of this episode). Ramsay also asks the Red team if there is better lamb available than what has been plated. I did not see a specific resolution to this, but it must have been solved by the Red team. Ramsay sees Ariel as emerging as a leader of the Red team. Robert had a 12 minute delay for salmon, which allowed Red to finish first. However, speed of finish was not as important as the feedback from comment cards. Red's dishes were rated 81% above average and Blue's 83%. Ramsay awarded victory to Blue.
Ariel is asked to nominate the 3 weakest member of her team. She picks Lovely, who is an obvious choice for her inexperience, and Tennille for her screwups and lack of teamwork. Ramsay says that he doesn't think either of those 2 is going to win (which tells you that they won't be eliminated) and then that they are both safe. He used the room created by the elimination of Joseph as the end of Ep. 2 to allow both to stay. Lovely and Tennille both got a reprieve that neither of them deserved. I wanted to have Ramsay tell me he was bringing back Chef Ji into that spot. Then, to mock Joseph by using his stunning line to finish the evening, Ramsay states that he "is nobody's bitch".
EnduranceRealityFan:
So next week (spoiler in text) Dave quits due to his injury and Lovely more than likely gets eliminated at the ceremony which leaves us with the final 11
EnduranceRealityFan:
sorry about that last one I haven't figured out how to get the print white so I'll just give you all a spoiler tag. If you want actual names then just pm me
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERS
One chef can't handle the competition anymore

apskip:
endangered reality fan, don't be sorry because you did the spoiler tag correctly in post #71. You do know how to do it. It was post #72 that was mush.
TexasLady:
Thanks ERF for the spoiler.

This made me angry last night. I wish they would stop with the punishment stuff, especially with the chance of someone getting injured. I wish they would slow down the urgency to get everything done. I can see one team prepping but washing the firetrucks was over the top. Same way as in other years when they had to unload a truck and Heather had to carry heavy boxes. Or when they had to carry bags of ice in.
