Now Rock can't find the turbot he's been working on and I'm beginning to wonder if Sous Chefs Scott and Mary Ann are stealing things and hiding them because it doesn't make sense to lose entire servings of food when you are standing next to a stove. When Chef Ramsay wants a status report Bonnie says she's waiting on the turbot and Rock decides that Bonnie is stabbing him in the back. He confessionals, "Bonnie, are we on the same team here, or are you trying to single yourself out? What's really going on?" Oh dear Rock. You must have misread all the waivers that Fox had you sign when you came onto the show. You see, this is a cooking competition and all of the chefs are here because they would like to win the grand prize in the end. Singling yourself out is exactly what you should be doing. Especially now that the teams have been done away with! Don't get mad at Bonnie because you screwed up and she didn't. Chef Ramsay says, "Rock's hit rock bottom." That's one you know he's been waiting to say - and I've been waiting to hear.
"You talking to Rock?"
The next situation is irony incarnate. Jen and Rock are supposed to bring appetizers up to Chef Ramsay at the same time and Jen asks Rock to wait with his scallops until her spaghetti is ready so that they can go up together. So Rock trots right up to the counter without her. I would totally let this go if Rock hadn't just had a diva fit about Bonnie doing that exact same thing to him. Uh huh, now we see how it is. It's all fair game as long as you're the perpetrator, right Rock? Back in his confessional Rock acts completely bewildered and innocent over the Jen situation saying, "My chef told me to come up there." Oh you mean like Bonnie's chef told her to do five seconds earlier? Interesting. My dislike for Rock is intensifying by the moment. Jen calls Rock on this (just like he called Bonnie on it) and he tells her not to talk to him anymore. Now the attitudes start flying. Rock completely stops communicating with the girls except to call them names and slam things around. At one point he even says to Jen, "I don't jump when you say jump, princess. Who do you think you're talking to?" Ew, he's a creep. Jen says some bleeped out stuff back and Bonnie just begs them to stop. Chef Ramsay has had it. He can't run his kitchen like this and starts banging on the aluminum overhang to get them to shut the f up. Rock ridiculously confessionals that he doesn't need to put anybody down to bring himself up. Can we all please just scroll back up to the part at the high school where Rock told the kids not to vote for Bonnie because she isn't nice? Yeah, that's what I thought, Mr. Holier Than Thou. You are mean and nasty. And you fight dirty and throw tantrums, and then act like you are so above all this. No restaurant for you!
Back from commercial I'm surprised to find that Chef Ramsay hasn't thrown everyone out onto Sunset Boulevard - well at least Jen and Rock. They fight each other to the bitter end but somehow manage to get dessert out, which I guess is a sweet end. Ha ha, okay that was dumb. At the lineup Chef Ramsay deems that Bonnie was the best tonight - in fact this was her best service yet, so she gets to nominate two people to go home. I guess miracles do happen if Bonnie was the best chef tonight. If only Julia hadn't misplaced her garnishes. Great, now the final three are in the hands of an idiot personal chef (not nanny). Bonnie confessionals that she never thought she'd get this far. None of us did, Bonnie. In fact, I'm still quite bewildered.
Bonnie tries to spell her name.
Rock is quite the gentleman on the way upstairs, telling Jen to f - off and not say sh** to him. How can you not love this cuddly guy? The girls sit around to discuss what went down and Bonnie says, "He has a mean temper, dude." Well observed, Bonnie. That's actually the understatement of the year if you think back about what also happened when Rock lost the photo shoot challenge a couple of episodes back. Jen starts to cry saying, "People just hate me. I just want to go home." Oh, don't you start Jen. Bonnie has that market cornered and we don't need another self-pitying bawler.

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!
