In the blue kitchen, they have started to make the fortune cookies. PrettyGirl is doing her Chef Ramsey imitation. Like the others that have gone before her this season, she sucks. One thing she is good at is aggravating her team. Robert would like her to shut up, and he would like someone to kill him now. Also? He doesn't like her.
PrettyGirl thinks that they are way more fun than the girls. That statement is immediately followed by this face.
Bang a gong, the girls have arrived at their destination. It's a martial arts studio. Would dojo be correct? Paula speculates that they will be learning self-defense so they can protect themselves against future Ramsey attacks. Hi ya!
The instructor tells them they will be learning a martial art. Their first instructor is a master in the art of discipline. It is....Chef Ramsey! In an inflatable Sumo suit. It gets even better.
His opponent will be the Belgian Ninja, aka JP!! Holy Shit you guys. JP is hella pissed. Poor JP - please don't mess with his dignity. It upsets him so.
They throw down and it is highLARious. Then the girls get to try it out, and really? The whole thing is too freaking funny for words. And since I am a firm believer in too much of a good thing is never enough.......
Ramsey leaves after that, so I guess that's the only time they get with him on this reward. That's kinda lame. No time to dwell on that - they're off to another destination.
C&A: "While the women battle it out, back in Hell's Kitchen, the blue team has conquered fortune cookies and is now wrestling with origami."
The guys cannot wrap their brains around how to do the origami. PrettyGirl seems to have found something she is good at. "In your face, I'm done. Beoyotch!" Heh.
The guys decide they should watch how she's doing it. Awww, little pieces of colored, folded paper, bringing a team together, one fold at a time. It's so touching.
Elsewhere the ladies have reached their next destination. A bar. Today they will be learning about and enjoying sake. Oh, they are going to get shit faced. Sake is no joke.
Coi tells us she drank about nine sake shots. Yeah, you all feel good now, but later? Ooof.
Back at Hell's Kitchen, PrettyGirl is holding an origami class. She feels good to be able to teach someone else something. I have to say, she's done a good job here of helping the guys. I think it would have taken them ten times longer to do it without her, and she's gained a little respect here from them. I really like what she did here.
And here come the drunken gloating girls. They Woo! their way through the dining room, and want to know if the guys can smell the sake on their breath. Ugh.
I think I've already made it abundantly clear that I can't stand the gloating. I hated it when the guys did it, and I hate it now. The only difference is that the men were sober and the women are shit faced, but really? It still pisses me off. Just walk on through and shut up. How fucking hard is that?
Let's just skip ahead to the next day.
Chef Gloria asks the red team if they miss PrettyGirl. They laugh at her. Oh, and they've decided that she doesn't exist. LA talks some more smack about her and GAWD. Worry about yourself and your performance.
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.
We cut to PrettyGirl complaining that her arm is about to fall off. Ok, never mind, I take it back.
Five minutes before open. Time for the pre-service pep talk. Ramsey wants to know how PrettyGirl is settling in with the men. "Good. We had a gang bang last night and that really seemed to help."
Ramsey tells Paula that her tuna dish is one of the best dishes he's seen in the history of Hell's Kitchen. It's going on the menu tonight. Nice.
Last service sucked monkey balls, let's try to get it back together tonight. Yes? Ok. Move your ass.
JP, open Hell's Kitchen.
Do we really need the shots of people getting out of their cars and walking up the front steps?

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 :)
