Apparently Josh thinks he is working at McDonald's and can just make tons of everything so it will be ready when someone orders it. But that's not the way Chef Ramsay does things. It's always fresh in Hell's Kitchen. Next Chef Ramsay notices Josh overcooking some spaghetti - again before it's been ordered. I think this time he's a jelly doughnut. He may even be on his way to becoming a fritter if this keeps up. Chef Ramsay tells Josh that even his mother cooks spaghetti only seven minutes before she eats it. I bet his mother also plugs in the vacuum cleaner before wondering why it won't work - but that's just a shot in the dark.
Bonnie is on meat and seems to be getting her Wellingtons together properly, but Julia is lagging a little on the garnishes. Chef Ramsay pleads with her to wake up and wonders if she's taking the piss out of everyone, but Julia insists that she's trying. Maybe she's still marveling over the wonders of the bidet. Back to the kitchen, Julia! Don't let us down now!
Chef Ramsay wanders back over to the appetizer station and what do you think Josh has gone and done? That's right, he's cooked up some more unordered spaghetti. Mind you, this is like 30 seconds after being scolded for making spaghetti before it's been ordered. Chef Ramsay can't believe his eyes because according to him "even the f-ing dirtiest scummiest Italian restaurant in Venice Beach cooks spaghetti to order, you donkey!" Mm, I know that place - they make great spaghetti... so fresh. Josh immediately loads up another pasta boiler with spaghetti and drops it into the water. Just kidding, but I wouldn't have been surprised. Now a diner sends back some risotto for being undercooked. Uh oh, Josh is going to take this one right up the wazoo. Sure enough, Chef Ramsay gets right in his face and demands to know what he's doing.
"I'm downgrading you to doughnut hole."
Then he loses his rag completely and just rips Josh's jacket open and yells, "Get the f*@& out of here! Get out! GET OUT!" As Josh makes a hasty exit Chef Ramsey even throws some sort of utensil at him that clangs against the wall dramatically as we head out to commercial. At this point I'm wondering if Josh is out for good or if he is just out for tonight's dinner service - which would probably mean he'd get eliminated anyway, but it's still unclear.
Ooohh, back from commercial we see that Chef Ramsay actually follows Josh out into the hall screaming, "Give me the jacket! Useless sack of sh**!" Then he follows Josh down the hall yelling, "Get out! Get out!" and I start wondering if he's going to have a stroke, but then we cut away to Josh in the confessional.
A battered Josh flees the scene with RamJam at his heels.
So this is how Josh goes down. Not in the sad but dignified elimination ceremony and not even in a hospital bed like Aaron. Oh no, Mr. Food-Is-Sex is chased right out of the kitchen during the middle of dinner service. I can't say he doesn't deserve it. In fact I think Josh wore out his welcome a while back, but still - the shame of it all. Leaving out the back door with his duffle back into the darkness all alone. Happy trails, Josh. Remember - there are no sous chefs at McDonald's. People come to fancy restaurants for freshly cooked food. Oh also, electric appliances need electricity to run. Good luck to you.
Chef Ramsay puts Jen on appetizers and tells her that Josh is gone now and he's out on Sunset Boulevard looking for a bus. That's probably because his car wouldn't start since he forgot that it needs gasoline to run and thinks it is done for. Jen manages some perfect bloody risotto and it looks like everything is running well until... Julia can't find her garnish. This is odd. It's not keys or sunglasses or a credit card, it's an entire pan of food that she just cooked. Well it's lost and Julia has no choice but to start all over making new garnish and she's so flustered that Chef Ramsay accuses her of giving up. Poor Julia starts to cry but hangs in there and keeps cooking.

I like Julia as well, she might not be a fancy cook she has the heart. I think chef Ramsey is great to offer her to culinary school. but why come back for a reality show after that? She should just open up a diner. She can cook good basic food. That's enough to bring in diners. I wish her all the sucess.

So sweet about Julia, I am very happy for her. :)
Rock is an a-hole hands down. Bonnie should never run a kitchen and Jen is....not really bad or good, just not great. Of the three I think Jen is the best choice, god i can't believe i just said that.

Josh, what a waste of space. Every time they come back from elimination he'd be all like "NOW it's on". Damn fool.
Rock is a d1ckhead and I'd hate for him to win but that's who I think WILL win.
Great recap. "Bonnie tries to spell her name" was the best line out of many.

I hate to see Julia go but Chef is right about her talent. She will do great once she acquires more culinary skills. It was great to see his softer side with her.
Josh. What a useless cook. I can't believe this idiot was precooking the spaghetti. And this guy works in the industry?!? How many times have they cooked rissoto this season? Like a gazillion times and this clown still undercooks it! He belongs behind the dishwasher not a stove.
Rock. Good talent with horrible social skills. He'd be best running a hot dog stand by himself.
Jen. The best option for Chef. Talent is OK but she is able to get along with her peers. Her presence and demeanor is not like Julia's (at her best performances.)
Bonnie. Lucky she has come this far. Unless she is bonking Chef, she doesn't have a chance.

Thinking of the top 3, I think Rock is going to win, frankly because I (nor the rest of humanity) will ever be able to forget that Jen pulled that spaghetti out of the trash and was going to serve it. What Executive Chef tries to serve garbage? If they do some sort of recap of their performance on Hell's Kitchen from beginning to end, that is just going to stand out like a sore thumb.
Bonnie just doesn't have enough experience working in a restaurant environment, so I don't think she'll be able to pull it out.
I shed a tear for Julia. I really wanted her to win the whole damn thing. But I hope she'll be back after completing her schooling. I heart her.

How come wonderful Julia got the axe? Didn't she get immunity or something from winning the first challenge?
I call SHENANIGANS!
HG, your screencaps etc had me giggling so much I was wiping away tears. Especially the stuff about how stupid Josh is (having to take the bus bc he thought his car was "done for" -- too funny!
I'll bet Josh thought he'd be able to keep the black-trimmed chef's jacket as a souvenir -- denied!
Also, I haven't heard or read the phrase 'goody gumdrops' for ever such a long time.
HEART!

Your funniest Hell's Kitchen recap by far. I especially liked the caption under the Hell's Kitchen logo on the lockers; I was laughing for about five minutes after that.
Anywayz, I'm disappointed that this is our final three; Bonnie is obviously not competent or consistent enough to run her own restaurant, Rock is, like you said, a complete asshole and Jen's horrible lopsided face and bird's nest hair will scare away any customers. So I guess I'm routing for her.

First of all I think this was a great recap...
Julia. The best part of this show. I suck at cooking but if someone from Waffle House can make it on a cooking reality show then so can I.
Rock. The only reason I like him is because he keeps referring to himself as the "Rock," which always meakes me laugh because he is an idiot.
Bonnie. I do not like her because she kept putting Julia down for not knowing the product, yet she is a Nannie which apparently means she is a cooking God.
Jen. Do not really have a feel for her, but since I think it will be between her and Rock I root for her.

Ugh.. I think Rock is going to win as well.. specially out of those 3.
I think the only people that ever had a chance of winning were him, Jen and Julia.. and well.. Julia is now gone.
I hope Jen wins but well.... who knows.
Rock is such an immature asshole though.
Seriously, who the hell acts like that?? I just want someone to smack the crap out of him and jap him in the leg with a fork.
What a loser.

Bonnie should have went home a long time ago. Like another poster said, she was so quick to dismiss Julia for her lack of cooking expertise, but didn't she say that she was a nanny who only cooked for three people? I never would have thought she would have made it this far. It comes to show you, a "pretty" face and an empty head goes a long way on reality TV.
If I were to choose the lesser of the three evils, it would have to be rock. Sure he's an ass, but would you honestly go to Jen's restarurant knowing the bitch would serve you stuff out of the trash?

Great recap. I just discovered this entire site and have been catching up on all the reality shows I've missed over the years.
HG your recap on RamJam going off and kicking Josh out had me ROFLMAO and subsequently searching for the video clip online. Found it! Thanks, TVGasm & Honey Gangsta!
