Vanessa is still falling apart. She says she was a grill cook for 15 years, and she can't cook a steak. She says it's all she knows how to do, and now she doesn't even know if she can do this anymore. Christina tries to console her between puffs from her cigarette.
Christina says that she knows everyone expects her to pick Corey for revenge, but Corey didn't fall on her face today. And Petrozza tells us that he knows everyone probably wants Craig gone, but everyone would do better if they didn't always have to pick up Fatso's slack. Like when Fatso disappears to make toe jam specials during dinner service. You know, that kind of stuff.
At elimination, Chef asks if any of them still remember why they are there because none of them seem hungry to win. And praise be to Jesus! Petrozza chooses Fatso to be put on the chopping block because he can't cook or communicate. And he's a jerk. And the shocker of the night is that Christina chooses Vanessa. I think this is decent strategy on Christina's part. She probably feels like Vanessa is a serious threat to win, and now she has a justifiable reason to put her on the chopping block without making it look as obvious as Corey did. She says that Vanessa make the meat station go down in flames.
Fatso says he should stay because he hasn't had a chance to prove himself yet. He gets too nervous to perform well, but he runs his ass off to help everyone else. Chef counters that nonsense by saying that he "moves like a tortoise giving birth." I couldn't have said it better myself.
Vanessa tears up and says that she doesn't want to offer any excuses but that she really loves to cook. And she feels bad for disappointing Gordon and herself. Gordon tells her that she's not receptive to direction. Talking to her is like talking to a refrigerator.
But in the end, Fatso is told to leave! HALLELUJAH! Gordon tells him that he gave up before they even started, so it's time to leave.
Fatso says that the girls only get to stay because they cry, but he's not going to cry because he's a man. He is, however, going to get drunk. Classy.
Wow. All these people are so terrible. Who do you guys think is going to win this thing? I think the only ones that have even a reasonable shot are Louross, Christina and maybe Ben. I'm seriously terrified for Gordon.
Next week is kid's night on Hell's Kitchen, so bring your crayons and paper placemats! Good times.
See you Tuesday!
love, mandamo
xoxo

I wouldn't trust any of these cooks to work the deep fryer at a McDonald's. I think this is the worst group of contestants in game show history. I've never seen Ramsey get this pissed off before. I can't remember him chewing out his chefs like he did in this episode.

Freeway Shark, you took the words right outta my mouth! This group is sooo bottom of the barrel. What happened, FOX? Was there no one else to choose from?!?
Thank the powers that be that Fatty McNo-Girlfriend is gone. What's with all the woman bashing? Bitter much, Chubs? And WHY OH WHY would Corey think anyone was checking her body out. She almost looks like a dude.
I'm not sure who I'm routing for this year, a but too soon to tell. If I cheer anyone one, it'll be the lesser of all the other evils.

Well, several of last year's cheftestants (I am using the term ironically, natch) were obvious freaks but I have to agree, this lot look and are completely and utterly incompetent at virtually everything they attempt.
As I mentioned to my guy, "Why are they all so ugly?" and "Why does that unattractive young woman with the prominent mole under her eye think that a giant metal stud in her lower lip in any way enhances her looks?!"
His reply: "The working people ARE ordinary looking. You are too used to zee beautiful people of LA."
And I had to agree as I'd been down to the DMV only the day before and had mingled with the great unwashed...
Team Toilet Brush! He's Hung 2.0!!

Oh, and thank you for such a hilarious recap!
Your priceless "Fatso Falls On His Ass: A Comedy in Six Parts" montage confirmed something I thought I'd observed -- they digitally coloured in Corey's (evidently) see-through bikini bottoms!!
Compare and contrast the last two screen caps!

I agree Jason was one of the worst people I have ever seen on TV. In all aspects. There was nothing positive about this guy. A chauvinist pig with no talent. So glad he's gone.
As for the contestants, I'm sure we'll find out later that the prize is for 1-year only and Ramsey will have other chefs running his restaurant in Los Angeles.
