Carol asks her if it's really coming. She asks again if it's really four minutes and Andrea just turns around and starts salting some meat. "Please tell me, Andrea." Andrea replies, "I already told you, I'm about six minutes out."
I believe you said four before. Now it's six. Which is it? No one can finish their plates without knowing how long they have to wait for your ass.
Then when Ramsey asks her again how long, she tells him two minutes. Carol is like WTF? I can't say I blame her. Ramsey? He's pissed. But you knew that already.
On the men's side, J has not had an entrée go out in fourteen minutes. Yikes. I'd actually be really curious to know what Ramsey's ideal timing for each course would be. I always wonder about these inane things.
And now J has forgotten about an order of lamb. Shit J, when PrettyGirl is rolling her eyes in disgust at you, it's really, really bad.
The red kitchen has managed to move on to desserts, but it looks like Colon's idea of dessert is a raw pear wrapped in raw pastry. She did not notice the whole thing was raw. That'll end well.
Of course they all have to gather round to taste it, and Andrea thinks it was sorry poor judgement. Hmm, much like hiding burnt Wellingtons, right Andrea?
Uh oh. This is never a good sign.
When Ramsey reaches the stage of squatting while cursing despairingly, we have entered the downward spiral. We are careening toward a shut down.
JP tries to return more food to the kitchen and Ramsey tells him to fuck off. He has had enough. He tells the red team, "Stoves off." He tells them they were pathetic, and Andrea in particular was useless. "Clear down."
He tells the guys it's their worst performance so far. "Switch it fucking off!"
At the post service line-up, Ramsey wants to know why Robert won't look at him when he is talking to him. Robert would like to discuss that with him in private. Ramsey is not interested. At least not right now.
He thinks J and Andrea boned it. And there is no winning team. Giovanni and LA were good tonight, so they each get to nominate one person from their respective teams for elimination. Now piss off.
Robert talks to the girls upstairs about the whole Bobby thing. Then he gets called to the principal's office.
Once in Ramsey's office, Robert explains to Chef his issues with being called Bobby versus Robert. Chef Ramsey apologizes to Robert, says he won't do it again, but he wishes Robert would have told him earlier.
Back upstairs, Andrea is telling her team she knows she fucked up tonight. She tells LA she won't hold it against her if she's nominated. I tend to think that is a lie. She looks like the grudge holding type. Just a feeling I have. We'll have to wait and see.
J knows he fucked up too. He tells us he could be going home. Thanks for the update, Mr. Obvious.
The big question right now is WWGD? One thing is sure, he will not be putting PrettyGirl up as she kicked major ass.
See, this is the major difference here with the guys. They may not particularly like her, she may annoy them with the whining and complaining, but they will give her credit when she has a good service. Of course, she never walked out on them like she did on the women. Twice. So there's that too.
Anyhoodle, it's going to boil down to either Robert or J. Robert just hopes that Giovanni can look at the bigger picture. Hopefully it's not the bigger picture of your naked blurred ass, dude.
The chefs line up in the dining room. LA, have you made your decision? "Andrea." Why? "Her communication wasn't there, the cooking wasn't there, it just, it wasn't there."
Giovanni? Your decision? "I picked J. He performed bad from the start to the end." Ramsey wants to know who else was on Giovanni's list. Robert. But Giovanni thinks even though he started bad, he was able to come out of it and do a little better than J.
Ramsey thinks maybe just a fraction. Giovanni says that fraction saved him. Chef Ramsey replies, "Has it?"
Okay, J and Andrea step forward.
J, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

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 :)
