Testimonials

In the Red Kitchen, Matt attempts to serve up raw fish. Luckily, Christina spots it before it leaves. Matt starts to spiral further down toward craziness. First he tells Gordon to shut up, and then he says that as long as it tastes good, that's all that counts. T.B. tries to get Matt to stop mumbling and focus. So Matt tells him to shut up. And then he tells everyone to shut up. Some people just never change, I guess. Gordon calls Matt over and tells him to concentrate.

Petrozza's steaks aren't leaving the kitchen because they are still waiting for the onion ring. Dammit Jen! Is it really that hard? She responds with a crumby attitude AND a crumby onion ring. She gives him a limp piece of crap. As the meat gets cold, Ramsay tells her not to be disrespectful and calls her "Miss Sabotage," which I think is rather fitting, don't you?

Christina's kitchen is two tables behind Petrozza's. And Matt yet again serves up uncooked mung fish, so Gordon threatens to kick him out. Gordon tells Christina that he'll run her kitchen if she wants him to and tell Matt what to do. Matt responds with craziness but finally serves up decent fish.

The service is nearing the end, and Gordon tells us that they are neck and neck. The teams move onto desserts, and then it's over. The last dinner service has finally been completed, y'all!

The teams meet Chef Ramsay in the kitchen, and he says that overall it was a job well done with more highs than lows. He tells them to give themselves a round of applause. Christina and Petrozza both hug their brigade. Petrozza thinks he did well and has an edge. Then our two contestants return to their dorms and start working on their best ulcers. The winner will be determined from customer comment cards and Chef Ramsay's observations.

Ramsay sits in his office and ponders the evening. Now it's time to go. Petrozza says that he doesn't want to lose to Christina because she's a kid. They meet Ramsay in his office with the jackets of fallen warriors hanging behind them.

Gordon says that making the decision has been agony for him, and he went back and forth many times. Weird, dramatic sappy music plays in the background as Gordon speaks in hushed tones, each word chosen with careful deliberation. It's weird. He says he knows both of them will go on to great success. But now it's time for his decision. He asks them to step up to the doors. They tell each other good luck and shake hands. The person whose door opens will be the winner of the competition.

They put their hands on their prospective doorknobs without turning the handles. Their families are waiting on the other side with the party. They are both horribly nervous. On the count of three, they will open their doors. Weird elevator muzak plays.

And it's Christina! Stunned and weepy, she moves down the stairs and hugs her fam. And her Red Team seems genuinely excited for her. Corey seems most excited though, probably because she knows that Chrissy will give her a job.

Gordon holds up a shakey Petrozza and sends him out to the party as well. He says that he met so many beautiful people, and it was a priceless experience. Christina said she couldn't believe something like this happened to be a big goober like her.

Ramsay tells us that Christina had the least amount of experience coming into the competition, but she had the best potential. And in his business, he thinks long term. They all dance and drink champagne.

So that's that! What do you all think? I was rooting for Petrozza, but I'm okay with Christina's win. After all, I guess she DID win the most challenges, right?

I am taking a little TVgasm break, but I'll be back in August with all new episodes of next season's "Making the Band." I hope to see you all over there!

Much love,
MandaMo
