Hell's Kitchen

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

The show's playing that card way too often now

Oh definitely.  Even in Season 1, they rely on it so heavily.  I'm more surprised when they're called out and not sent back!     That's what was so stand-out this time.  They're usually surprised and/or relieved but the looks on their faces here were of genuine shock (which tells me Russell was waaay stronger than, dang, I forgot his name already).

Rob?  Who I think was 0 for 4 in the taste test?

Yeah... almost everyone blew that taste test tho.  I forget who, but mistaking pork for chicken (was that it?) is downright unexcusable.

Worse. It was filet mignon they both mistook for chicken.

"Give me both your jackets!" -Chef Ramsay (or at least what he should've said right after that)

Something I agree with wholeheartedly as it was Rob and Sabrina who both thought that filet mignon was chicken....but then couldn't even identify cheddar cheese!!!!   Rob at least got somewhat close with American.  She thought it was provolone!!!   And then she IDs smoked mussels as ham?!?!

And she can't even fall back on the excuse of smoking messing with her taste buds...

BTW...saw something about the show moving back in the schedule tonight.

Does that mean there was only one episode or....?

(thanks in advance)

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

FINALLY!!!!!!!

[stansimpson]

Thought this would be appropriate.

However, I'll never forgive them for that montage of her at the end of the episode...like all of that was something we WANTED to relive?

BTW....did you catch the line, 'Trev has successfully tossed Sabrina's salad!'   

[stansimpson]

Hahaha!!  I TOTALLY did!  I was waiting for a wink or a chuckle or just something.  There might've been a timpani drum in the back but I certainly was giggling like a 2nd grader when I heard that.

Probably left out any drama sting or similar sound because it would have alerted the censor FCC.

(I keep forgetting - Fox doesn't really censor anything)

Then you must be watching a different Chef Ramsay than me!

Particular words, yes. Anything else....especially when it's getting ratings (Family Guy)....message is "go for it".

BTW....did you catch the line, 'Trev has successfully tossed Sabrina's salad!'   

Yeah, we looked at each other, and I said, "Did the narrator at least look up when he came to that line in the script, and say, 'Really, writers? Really?!?'"

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

Finally saw the whole episode....

Yeah, Gail was in her own world for part of the night....and she messed up on fish again (which may have been partly Jillian's fault because she told her that some of the salmon was partially done)...

But Jillian had to have Russell hold her hand all night at the fish station AND then brought up raw eggs to be served....

(She's saying at this point she doesn't know how to cook scallops? Again, even if you're not going to learn to cook this stuff before you start your time on the show - god only knows why you wouldn't - how about using the kitchen upstairs to practice?)

Plus all the nonsense with the meat from Trev....

I don't know that Gail should have been the one.

And am I the only one who doesn't give a rat's ass when there's someone who's famous for being famous in the dining room?   Unless they'd caught Paris Hilton trying to do lines off of the Royal Doulton while she waited for her meal, I'm not interested....
