Testimonials

Petrozza, being much more agreeable, likes many of the outfits. But he especially likes the one with the green chef's jacket because he feels like it bridges the gap between the kitchen and the dining room. JP smiles a lot and seems like he enjoys working with Trozzy better than with Chrissy. If that's true, then that could be a major plus in Petrozza's corner because, ya never know, maybe JP has secret pull behind this entire operation!

Not surprisingly, Christina especially hates the jacket that Petrozza chose. JP asks Christina if she agrees that her restaurant should have a personality. She says that personality should come from within, not from the clothes. And personality should come out of the body in the form of a really raspy smoker's voice!

Now it's menu time! Petrozza collaborates with Scott, telling him that he loves sweetbreads and Chilean seabass. It's one of his favorite things to put in his mouth. (That's what she said.) Then he doodles on the page.

Christina works with Gloria. She says she's seen a lot of food and worked at a lot of restaurants so she knows what she's doing. She must be defining "experience" in a Hillary Clinton way. Maybe if you just keep saying you're experienced enough times then no one will realize that you're just a junior senator. I mean, please, girl you're like 23. Petrozza has nosehairs older than you. Give it up.

As soon as the menus are wrapped up, Jean-Philippe interrupts in an anxious way saying that Gordon wants to see them in his office, urgently. The two nervously hustle upstairs and sit at Gordo's desk. He tells him that he has concerns and had been wondering if he really picked the right two finalists.

But now he knows he did! Oh sweet relief! That trickster! All this fake tension is making my blood pressure spike! Rams wants to show them one of his other restaurants, so they need to get packed up because they'll be flying to NYC and stat! Our contestants get so excited that they practically burst into fruit flavor.

Gordo meets them in yet another tight T (thank you god!) at the Hell's Kitchen private jet. Exhibit A:

On the plane, they all socialize for a bit, and Gordon tells Petrozza that he's one of the bravest chefs he's met because he served him the hen in the pumpkin. Remember that? Man, we've come so far. And then Rams tells Christina that she almost left after the second dinner service because everyone was intimidated by her intelligence. We also talked about when Petrozza almost quit because he couldn't memorize the menu. And we discussed how dirty he is again. Gordon also points out that Christina is the all-time challenge winner with nine, and she gets all shocked because she thinks she won 10. Looks like our little Miss Intelligence can't even count.

The fearless warriors arrive in NYC and stop in Times Square where a crowd awaits them. Gordon tells them that NYC has a very special treat for them both, which I'm hoping is truck full of New York firefighters slathered with New York cheesecake. But nope. Just a lame sign:

Then Gords breaks the REALLY big news -- after spending time in New York, they will be heading to DUBAI for five nights!!! Christina doesn't even know where Dubai is! You tell me that she's the intelligent one, but are ya sure? It doesn't sound like it.

Now it's off to Gordon Ramsay at the London - New York. Gordon's restaurant in LA will run very similar, so Christina and Petrozza need to pay attention. Gordo introduces them to Josh Emett who is the executive chef and will be overseeing the restaurant in LA via his magic mirror a la "Beauty and the Beast." Anyway, Gordon gives Petrozza and Christina executive chef garb to wear and tells them that their final challenge is to prepare their signature dish for judging. Christina, whose ego has blown up enormously since the beginning of the season, deems herself the challenge queen and says she plans to keep her roll going. Time to cook!
