Hell’s Kitchen Recap: Cooking and Craps


They end up nominating Royce and Clemenza, which Gordon appears to accept. Royce spews some babble about bouncing back and literally beating himself up. If only. Gordon says he’s opening the steakhouse this year, not in 2025.

Kimmie Photo Bomb!

He then points out that Clemenza looks a mess and is acting a mess, too. He then demands both their jackets! Is he really going to leave the Blue team, three strong? He kicks Royce right out the damn door, no ceremony or parting compliments, and tells him to say hi to his boss. FINALLY!

They don’t even give him a solo shot for his swan song.

Gordon then gives Clemenza a clean jacket and sends him back to the team, with orders to try not to be such a filthy fucking mess in the future. That was tricky, Gordon. And since it seems you either pulled your own head out of your ass for elimination or else finally shouted down whoever railroaded you on the Patrick decision, let’s have one more look at what should have happened ages ago:

PopePhilly, this one’s for you.

We’re down by half now, and there’s still plenty of drama on next episode’s menu. There’s a wing-eating competition, some kind of special message, and more white trash behavior out of Tiffany. I’m sure we needed a preview to predict that. PopePhilly gets the week off due to some allegedly important baseball game, so catch up with me next week to get the scoop on what happens.

    That was a funny episode, Christina was so cute with her rainbows and unicorns, and the Dragonfruit revelation Bryan had was just hilarious. And Royce is goooooooooone! yay!
    Now just kick out Tiffany, Robyn and Dana, please Gordon.

    1. I never got a lesbian vibe from Christina until she outed herself

    2. Kimmie Photo Bomb is awesome!

    Random thought on the Christina thing – she actually “outed” herself in her cast bio. If you go on the shows page, she jokingly says that her girlfriend in college only stayed with her because of her cooking.

    I’m sure she was already out in her private life before this show. It’s just nice to see a reality show where there’s not this huge “I’M GAY” announcement and everyone makes a huge deal about it and learns valuable lessons about gay people, and maybe something about themselves. I love that she just tosses it out there without fanfare. That’s as it should be. :)

    lmao at that Kimmie Photo Bomb. I’ve also got my boyfriend saying “KIMMIE SMASH!” everytime she gets angry :)

    @ bluecanary, perfect description of Christina. She is great, I hope she wins!

    David Beckham rawr? Yes, please.

    So, Robyn is still certifiable, I still have no idea why Tiffany is on this show. sSe thought it was ‘Chefs Who Don’t Give a Shit’, perchance? If so, she’s a shoe-in. I’m not a real Barbie fan but she seems the most competent female chef as does Justin for the men’s team. Dana still creeps me out in the confessional but I wonder if someone spoke to her ’cause the inappropriate smiley faces seem fewer.

    I want the job of designing these ridiculous challenges. Next show? Bobbing for lobster.

    @BlueCanaray: I agree with you 100% about Christina. I think it’s awesome that she mentioned her sexuality like it was no big deal – because it isn’t. She’s clearly one of the best chefs and probably the most level headed person on this show. :-)

    Ok, I have to ask…WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH BARBIE!!!!!!!!???????? She makes facial expressions..big fucking deal. Since the beginning Tiffany, Robyn, and Kimmie are the ones who have always fucked up the most and who’s catty fighting have tore the team apart! And yet, after Barbie saves the ay again and again if she makes the slightest error her ass is on the chopping block. Now I’m not one to generally say that racism might be a factor, but for goodness sake..sure seems like it!
