And then, to even things out again, BR puts a bottle of oil on the stove. A plastic bottle of oil. On a hot stove. When he picks it up,..
Oil…oil everywhere.
BR tells us he’s freaking out right now…shaking and sweating bullets. Which is pretty much him in every challenge, at least wit the heavy sweating part.
Gordie tells Frank to shore up his team before they cost this restaurant its Michelin Star. Wouldn’t that be hilarious.
The guests arrive, and Gordie starts shouting out orders. He gets irritated because the teams aren’t responding that they got his order. And, of course, more of a big deal is made of WH not being able to hear shit. I mean, they have DareDevil, who sees with her ears, so…
The red team is having all sorts of issues hearing Gordie. All he wants is a little attention from the girls! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK, LADIES?!?
20 minutes in, and the guests are turning to heavy boozing as a coping mechanism. This is clearly going well…
The red team has gotten a few apps out already, but suddenly it becomes ridiculously apparent that the blue team is miles behind. Why? Because Josh can’t get the fried bread fried right. The blue team has to start and restart and restart again.
One hour into service, the blue team FINALLY gets a few appetizers out. They’re getting lucky that after an hour they’ve at least made good food.
And, now, the curveball. An order comes in from the owners, that has to be timed perfectly between the two teams. Unfortunately for Becky’s team, Frank’s team is still slower than fuck on this whole fried bread shit, and so she’s having to wait, and wait, and wait and is freaking out because her beautiful apps are “dying.”
I guess the good news is that the judges are just flat out making the decision as to which team wins and which team loses, because I don’t see how the blue team could possibly be winners in this shit. I mean, the red team has had their issues, but geez..the red team could only be saved by patrons who for some stupid reason decided to ignore the long wait.
Frank’s team finally gets their food together, and the dishes are rushed to the owners’ table.
We’re fucked. We are so, so fucked.
So, strangely, despite the fact that the blue team has been having a nightmare of the time in the table, the owners actually were more impressed by the blue team. Probably coordinating time caused part of those issues…
So, amazingly, the teams both get their final dishes out the door in time. Gordie tells the minis that the three judges are going to go home and settle down in conjoined bubble baths with a nice glass of wine and read the comment cards, and they’ll make a decision and tell everyone tomorrow.
Dear God, please don’t make me go to a pressure test tomorrow.

Josh has some nerve looking at Frank as if he’d just been betrayed. He’s the Number 1 Advocated of “Me first.”
“I’m the only one that matters.” He said he wouldn’t share rice if he had it. I believe he said “you guys are all idiots and that’s it..
I still don’t like Becky very much, but I have to say, finally a team captain uses Christine’s strength intelligently.
The “Team Helen Keller” comment was hilarious.
From what I have read (Ben Starr’s blog), David has done really well in Chicago and has very positive attention from chefs in Chicago. He is also moving to Phoenix to start work on his PhD in Education this September so he cannot be an unintelligent man. I liked him in the beginning and think that they needed someone to edit into a villain once Ryan left the show.
I am still rooting for Christine or Frank – I love their outlook and their food looks amazing most of the time.
Looking forward to tonight’s show and the recap!
Backstab was even more do a bitch than usual in this episode!!! Or, possibly, that huge “Olympics are on so all other TV stops” has dulled my memory. I just have problems with his attitude. I am also getting sick of WH crying. Every time she does it, I’m waiting for someone to hit her with the classic mom line – “stop that crying or I’ll really give you something to cry about!”
Dang, sorry. I might need more coffee or something. I’m sounding a bit like Backstab myself. Sorry.
What’s up with Monti being deaf? She’s not deaf, right? I don’t recall this coming up before.
I thinks it’s hilarious that Frank tried to be all noble and shit with his “I’d pick Josh….” speech when he thought it was all just an academic conversation. He sure changed his tune when it turned into an actual conversation. I’m not such a fan of his.
@timgunnsister, perhaps you know the old joke:
Two very poor farmer neighbors were talking, when Clem asked Jeb, “Jeb, you are my neighbor and my best friend. If you had a million dollars, would you give me half?”
Jeb: “You are my best friend. You KNOW that I would.”
Clem: “Well, if you had two Cadillacs, would you give me one?”
Jeb: “Of course. You KNOW that I would, without question.”
Clem: “Well, if you had two hogs, would you give me one?”
Jeb, now irate, “You know I’ve got two hogs!!!”
Cranky-Theoretically,I’d love to help you Josh. In reality-me first. Giving someone an equal chance by sharing rice that you have to share (which Josh and 2 of the judges said they were nuts to do) is different than choosing a save when it’s offered. That’s noble stupidity. People lose pressure tests for dumb reasons or Felix would still be there. But the reason I can’t stand Josh is because he’s always saying he’s so great,David is so low, etc. and then he tries to stare down Frank for doing exactly what he and everyone else would do at this stage. He won’t admit the David already won the contest because he achieved his goal,to work in a great restaurant. And that was the high point of the show for me. For once,I was sad to see Josh stay and happy to have David go.
KM — I don’t blame Frank for choosing safety for himself. But, I do agree with timgunnssister that it’s funny how easy it is to give lip service to selfless acts as long as it doesn’t come down to actually having to do it.
And, let’s not forget to give a shoutout to those FABULOUS Wal-Mart steaks!!!!
It’s funny how Frank could be all selfless when it was hypothetical situation, but when it came down to it he was looking out for himself. Sort of the same way that Josh was when he said he wouldn’t give BR the rice. (Nice consolation prize for BR though!)
Yea, what is up with WH not being able to hear? When did this come about?
Becky was a little more tolerable this episode, but it looks like she’ll be getting on my nerves again tonight.
Crankyguy
Wal-mart steaks- sing with-blood.
LOLOLOLOL Remember that time in the beginning of the season when Frank got a free pass to the balcony and turned it down? How the times have changed.
I’m not mad though, and I don’t think Josh has any right to be mad either. When there’s like seven people in a pressure test, it’s easy to be chivalrous and kind.
But when there’s only three, welllll that’s an entirely different situation. I would have done the same thing and so would anyone who really wanted that money and cookbook (the title isn’t worth shit) bad enough.
Plus, I guess Frank figured that it would be okay to piss Josh off, because he had a 50% chance of Josh going home. No Josh = no grudge, so he was like fuck it. But maybe Josh will be the next to go…he’s been kind of lackluster since his comeback.
Frank did what anyone else here would have done, excepting Saints, plus Josh has turned out crap and vomit looking foods too often to be up in the high horse he sits himself in. Glad for Dave he fought for himself and was entertaining and honest, go in peace BR…..
You guys really believe that when Frank was asked that question, he didn’t even consider that they were just trying to set him up.
I bet that whole thing was scripted just to make what was an otherwise extremely boring episode tolerable.
Also, the only reason the blue team was even in trouble in the first place was because no one except Frank could fry bread.
