This week, American Idol is not satisfied with monopolizing the air waves during its eighteen thousand hours of scheduled time and bleeds its bloated ass into my show. This. Is
Hell's Kitchen, dammit. Get off my TV NOW Please!!!!
Five minutes later.....
C&A walks us back through what happened last week. Been there, seen that.
The teams head on up to their post-service bitch/smoke session. The ladies are practically dancing a jig. LA seems to think that with PrettyGirl gone they are now going to win everything. I guess without her the ladies are invincible. Well, time will tell on that one.
PrettyGirl wants to know if the guys hate her already. Uuuuhhhhhh......yes. Well, they're not that blunt, but there is much talk of dead weight and the dead weight they just lost and they don't want more dead weight and blahbitty blah. They hate her. I don't know why they don't just say it. Pussies.
Robert tells PrettyGirl that there's no time for any of that fucking crying shit. She tells the guys that her crying came from the girls ragging on her all the time. "Those bitches made me feel like shit every damn day."
We flash back to some of those times, but suspiciously enough, we don't flash back to the instances of quitting and napping for six hours that played a part in the animosity toward her.
PrettyGirl tells us, "I was just so sick of the drama on the red team, so...tomorrow's a new day, a clean slate, so, um, I hope it goes well."
She tells the blue team. "They're going down." The red team is still celebrating. They're practically glowing.
The next morning we are greeted by the dulcet tones of C&A. No wake up call this morning? He doesn't have much to tell us. Basically Chef Ramsey has the teams on the road early.
They head on over to an Asian market, Marukai. J is very excited. He shops at Asian markets all the time and he's got a good idea of all the ingredients. Well, except for the part where he can't read the labels.
Chef Ramsey is waiting for them to explain the challenge for today. Asian fusion. What does he mean by fusion? Chef Ramsey? "I mean combining cuisines to make exciting vibrant dishes." Well, that was clear.
Robert loves fusion. According to him, he can make a gourmet meal out of Cap'n Crunch and filet mignon. I'm having a little trouble believing that. But then, I think filet mignon is perfect all by itself. Mmmmmmm, steak.
Each team will prepare one poultry, one seafood and one meat dish with a strong Asian influence. They have 25 minutes to shop, one hundred dollars to spend. On your mark, get set, go!
C&A: "This Asian fusion challenge will test the chefs' creativity and their ability to innovate."
The men begin to run around the store like a bunch o'maniacs while the girls stand around listening to Andrea's yammering about which ingredients she needs.
She knows she is a force to be reckoned with. "I have a loud voice and I have loud thoughts."
Someone else tries to talk, but Queen Andrea will have none of that. She is totally that person that thinks if she talks louder than everyone else, they will have to listen to her. I'M IN CHARGE!
Carol tells us, "Andrea likes to think that she's the leader because she talks the most, but loud and vocal doesn't always make a good leader." Neither does fake ponytails and hoop earrings.
The men's approach is to just grab everything that they think they might need or want. They can always put stuff back later.
Andrea's still calling the shots and LA would like her to shut the fuck up. Then tell her that, not us, Jesus! At one point we see Andrea making her entire team back up . I was pretty surprised they didn't tell her to blow it out her pie hole.
Oh LA, don't go for the grandma looking girl, you could do so much better. Paula and Coi are much much cuter. Just tell Andrea to can it already.
C&A: "While Andrea continues to make herself heard on the red team, all PrettyGirl wants to have on her team is a voice."
She's asking what she should get for the beef, and they are basically just ignoring her.

OMG, I laughed my ass off at those Sumo suits. I need one for next Halloween.
Anyhoo, it never ceases to amaze me how much abuse some people will take.
And pretty girl is a big baby, such a Debbie Downer.
Loved your recap, PottyMouth!
Big Kiss,
Twunty

Poor Gordo,
Having to put up with with these "cooks" must be taking years off his life, but at least he got rid of Colon.
I hope he at least gets the pleasure of reading your recaps : )
Hugs,
Yenta

It looked they tried a good variety of sake. Much like wine and liquor there are dozens of varieties each with it's own properties.
Cheap sake most people prefer to heat it up while the more expensive ones you serve chilled since heating them up would destroy the flavors in them. You should really look online for a place that offers more then the standard sakes. Search for the words Snow Maiden sake, Wandering Poet sake just for two examples.
Also pottymouth in a prior recap asked me who Big Punisher is.
He was a Puerto Rican American rapper who made it to the big time in the late 90s before he died in 2000 at the age of 28 due to a heart attack caused by hia weight going anywhere between 450-700 pounds.
He released one album before his death that went double platinum and two posthumous albums that hit platinum and gold last time I heard the numbers which was like eight years ago. His death was covered by MTV and other music stations and the memorial documentary film.
He also worked with Fat Joe and other Bronx area rappers.

Yeschef is dead on - I was introduced to quality chilled sake some years back by a colleague from Japan. What an eye opener, I have sung her praises ever since. While the good stuff is not available at Buy-Rite Liquors, it can be found at boutique stores, or on line.
PottyMouth, when JP came out in the sumo suit I was screaming at the TV, and thinking of you... oh his poor dignity! Then to get bashed around by G.
Pretty Girl did seem to redeem herself a bit (teensy, tiny, miniscule bit) this week - and I truly felt for Robert, you could see there was some pain associated with "Bobby". Ben and his "leadership role" is beginning to annoy me, but have to say I cheered Colon's departure!
Great recap, thanks PottyMouth!!!

"What an eye opener"
A lot of Japanese restaurants that have tried to sell it found out that the customers weren't responsive to it from what the waitresses have told me. Years ago at a regular chain restaurant (that also added the two sakes I mentioned above) when I ordered chilled sake the waitress insisted on me trying a free sample and when I told her that the people complaining had no idea what they were complaining about she seemed eager to try it. It had a hint of raspberry. After all the Japanese can drink sake straight from jugs either chilled or luke warm.
As for Robert he like Gordon said should have mentioned it when Gordon first did it and not to ignore to Gordon just made things worse.

Yeschef - any time I have ordered chilled sake in a restaurant, the waitstaff always look at me sideways. It is not really popular here, and that is a shame. There are so many different varieties, with different tastes - from the thicker, milky type to the very smooth and dry. Something for every taste. Have you tried it with a small slice of cucumber? Verrrrry nice.
Totally agree that Robert should have spoken up earlier - it just seemed apparent that "Bobby" pushed his buttons and caused conflict and pain in him. Otherwise, I think he would have spoken up earlier.

LOL, PottyMouth, great screencaps, I'm loving PrettyGirl more and more. Please, though, couldn't you have posted the naked ass shot of Robert? Me'n'Juddfan live for that kind of thing (and naked fat man asses are often funny to many people, although I guess I'm the exception, I find them extremely sexy, LOL). Just keep it in mind for the next time. If we can survive nude shots of Alex the NYC Housewife, a little Robert-crack won't kill us!
Awesome recap, I giggled 'til I boogered.
love, J-Mo :)

PottyMouth, loved the recap! "Jesus Christ on crutches. If they spent half as much time focusing on their cooking as they do flapping their gums about her, they'd win all the fucking time. " was just TOO funny! Keep up the good work!

Anonymous: Were your eyes on her face or her boobs? :P
Twunty: I was thinking I want to have a Sumo party! How fun would it be to get trashed and fight your friends in fat suits?
Yenta: Yes, I always feel bad for him when he goes to the place beyond yelling, where there is only despair.
yeschef: Thanks for the answer re: Big Punisher! I'll have to look up the sakes you mentioned and give them a try. I never thought I liked sake until I tried a better quality one. The BEST cocktail I've ever had in my life also has sake in it, so I'd definitely try more.
njgasmifan: ahh, you know me well already! I agree about Robert, I felt bad for him, but I do wish he had spoken up earlier. Ignoring Ramsey is never a good idea.
J-Mo: I hope you had some tissues handy! :D If I had known you loved naked, fat rears, I would have worked harder to get a decent pic. :P Oh well, maybe next time.
arizonatom: Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read and post your thoughts.
SWAK,
PottyMouth

Pottymouth,
Loved the recap! Had me in stitches. A VERY welcome distraction from work... Now I can't wait to get home and watch me some TV :)
