That was the usual misleading advertising from FOX, as nobody from the RED team dared to steal meat from the BLUE team.

I can't say this happened in other seasons, but I've noticed quite a few deceptions in the previews. It rather irks me to say the least. Which reminds me the finger cut off didn't happen either.

HK10, Ep. 7

The Fashion Night dinner service continued. Clemenza was given a severe verbal whipping by Ramsay for cooking scallops ahead. Clemenza argued that he essentially had to do so because he was incapable of cooking enough to order. As if to underscore his point, the orders came in for 16 plates of appetizer scallops and he had to ask Brian to assist. The Red kitchen was in chaos too. Barbie was helping Tiffany and Dana on scallops but the first plate to be sent to the pass was judged undercooked by Kimmie. As was frequently the case, nobody wanted to own up to it. Robyn was also trying to help out and not finding any appreciation for that from her teammates, who jealously guarded their turf.

Each course had to be carefully synchronized with the fashion show. The dishes were supposed to be ready to serve when it each of the 3 parts of the show was completed.  The corollary was that no dish could be served until that part of the show was over.

Guy sent cold beef to the pass, but Royce sent it right back. Clemenza during the challenge had earned the right for his swordfish dish to be featured on the Fashion Night menu. However, there were a lot of orders (17 or 18 depending on who you talked to) and he had to make them simultaneously. There was only fish for 11 orders. The Blue team was chaotic throughout. The Red team finished about 10 minutes sooner. They won and Kimmie’s excellence was noted by Ramsay.

The Blue team had to nominate 2. Clemenza had a bad night and was an easy nominee. The other nominee was difficult and Guy got the nod finally. Ramsay gave it the maximum suspense and sent Clemenza back into line to live another day in Hell's Kitchen. Guy was sent packing, with Ramsay’s statement that he proved he was not the guy.

HK10, Ep. 8

The challenge is for the chefs to create dishes, from ingredients revealed in five-minute intervals, including from the beginning. Platters are lit from underneath. Every five minutes, the next platter lights up and the chefs are racing for the best ingredients.

Anita Lo, executive chef of Annisa, Douglas Keanne, executive chef of Cyrus, and Michael Cimarusti, executive chef of Providence, judged the teams. Each chef will award the chefs with a number of stars. The most stars will win. Red won.

Christina's winning lobster dish was on the menu for that night's dinner service. The winning team received a day of pampering at the spa. As an added bonus, each of the winning women received a set of cookware. The Blue Team had to clean the dormitories before prepping for the dinner service.

Ramsay invited special guests to sit at his Chef's Tables. Justin of the Blue Team served UFC fighter Tito Ortiz while Robyn of the Red Team served World Champion Sugar Ray Leonard.

Clemenza's demonstrated a disconnect cooking pasta. Christina was going well with risotto, but she and Brian both needed two tries with their VIP risottos.

Robyn screwed up the Wellingtons. Tiffany finally got the Wellingtons done right, but the  Blue kitchen failed to send out a single entree. The entire team is asked to leave the kitchen. The Red team finished their dishes.

Brian explained that he has been nominated for the first ticket slowing them down and Clemenza was the second nominee. Ramsay found this ridiculous, saying, "neither one of you deserve to be nominated." He had his own nominees, Patrick and Roshni. Roshni bit the dust.

The Challenge was to create a dish from 5 ingredients specified by one pull of a slot machine wheel. Competing individuals from each team then received an ingredient basket and had 30 minutes to cook. It was judged by Ramsay head-to-head.
Since they had an extra team member, the Red team had to decide whose dish of Kimmie and Robyn was better. You know how this vote turns out. The team who had that responsibility is always wrong. In this case Robyn’s dish was found better than Kimmie’s:
Red Team v Blue Team
Dana and Patrick - 0 points
Christina and Royce – Christina took the point
Barbie and Brian – both took a point
Tiffany and Justin – Justin took a point
Robyn and Clemenza – Clemenza took the decisive point
It came down to a 2-2 tie before that data point, so that one determined the outcome of the entire Challenge. The Blue team won as Robyn’s dish was not good enough.  Ramsay rubbed salt in the wound by stating that the Kimmie’s dish would have won. I say hindsight is is superior.
The prizes for Blue were to spend a large sum of money at Sur La Table, a store of kitchen accessories. They also got to eat a special lunch at Comme Ca. The Red team had to haul and butcher a huge and heavy slab of beef from the truck.

Next was the dinner service, which focused on conflict between Robyn and the rest of her team. Justin's Filet Mignon will be on the menu for Family Night. All went well until Kimmie fired up the burner and got two very serious grease burns.
