Hehehehe...you are absolutely HILARIOUS Cherie!!

I was cracking up the whole time.

This is looking to be like another entertaining season of Hell's Kitchen.

Did you notice that they didn't show Robert ever getting on one of the fighter jets? Was he over the weight limit again?

Can't wait until the next episode!!

Good job Cherie.
See..my passive agressive harrasment paid off! Lol. j/k.
It looks to me like ChickenLips is getting the same edit Andrea had last time..a smarmy, punkass, know-it-all, tattletale.

Someone please make Robert go away already!! We all know he could NOT have even gotten INTO a fighter jet! Sheesh!

Am I the only one who thinks Tek was a bit too "herbally relaxed" to cook properly?

Oooo.. looks like WhoopieG is gonna whoop a trick next week.. good times.. can't wait to see G-Ram's reaction!

Actually I think there was a shot of Robert in one of the craft when it was flying. Those craft would have different insurance regs regarding weight then a passenger helicopter would. Since they are doing aerial dogfight manuevers likely anyone wanting to go on the things would sign a disclosure form admitting there were risks to the flying such as crashing into the ocean, crashing into another aircraft etc.

Tek's problem like ChickenLips was that neither listened. Chickenlips was told the style of food and instead of telling what she learned she decided to well act like male management types are supposed to act and dictate everything. Robert on the other hand interestingly enough acted like women managers do and tell what the requirements were and listened to the advice and opionons of the team mates and was hands off unless needed.

Tek was told to put the meat in the convection oven to cook properly instead of relying on the grill since well that grill was more to get meat started cooking then finish it off.

Great recap Cherie, thanks for the giggles!

Chicken Lips sucked as a manager - she is great at tattling and trying to make herself look good, but awful at disseminating info to her teammates. While I agree with Knackered that she is getting the "Andrea Bitch" edit, I still can't work up the hate for her that I had for Andrea whenever she was on my screen. But Tek took suckage to a new level this week - how many people tried to tell her to mark the steaks on the grill then use the oven?? And she refused to listen, claiming "I know how to cook". Ummm, not that we've seen darling.

Loved it when G-RAM's wifey was explaining EXACTLY how she wanted the tables decorated and one of the ladies said "oh yeah, she's Gordon's wife all right". LOL, good stuff.

The Whoopie/G-RAM smackdown looks like it will be interesting. She can be a bit scary with her 'tude, I hope they put away the sharp knives before the throwdown. I really am not liking Robert this season, but still sorry to see (from the previews) that his health might again be a factor in his continuing. He needs to work on the priority of getting his health in order asap.

Hugs Cherie! xoxo

hi all -

Not trying to nitpick but did they really say he was gone 30 months? The captions came up as 13, which is awful as it is but 30? No one deserves that! His son looked young enough that if Otis was gone for 30 months, he left RIGHT after they conceived.

Could someone clarify this for me?

kara-

I googled just to be sure and everything I found said 30 months. He probably had leave here and there. When someone is gone that long they usually do.

Thanks for reading guys!

Cherie -

Thank you so much for the clarification. Still way too long!

Also, excellent recap!

" The captions came up as 13, which is awful as it is but 30? No one deserves that!"

Then you haven't been paying attention. This is a well known issue where the soldiers have extended tours and often times come back for a month then go back out back to Iraq for another year that turns out to have an additional three months. This despite the supposed recruiting promise and papers they were only supposed to serve a year then have a year back home.

You also have what is known as the back door draft in which National Guard and reservist volunteers get extended tours of duty and would get thrown in prison if they tried to back out of taking additional tours of duty past what their obligations are supposed to be. This has been occuring for years btw.

yeschef, thank you for the clarification as well. It is not that I have not been paying attention... with friends coming and going on the constant, I will admit I do try to block that stuff out because while I support the soldiers and the USA with every fiber of my being, I do not agree with the war, and do not think such extended tours are fair.

This is a personal opinion, I have incredible respect for the soldiers, and their families. I grew up the daughter of a military man who served in 3 wars. I know what its like to be a young child whose parent is gone. I just simply feel it is unfair. I am not ignorant in any sense of the word, so I apologize if it came across that way.

Sorry it's just how that came off sounded like you were just one of those people who just puts a support the troops sticker on their SUV and considers any notion that the war is wrong is traitorous. Yet these same bumper sticker supporters laugh off the notion that the war should be adequetly planned, that the right reasons should be used for going to war, that the soldiers need well enough manpower, medical assistance, as well as equipment yet the reports coming out that the Bush admin did all the wrong things that wind up going to an unneeded war in Iraq that has costed trillions, caused over a million innocenent people to die, spawned whole legions of terrorists as well as not supporting the troops properly both in Iraq (causing over a dozen to die by electrocution deaths to faulty electrical work, they died while taken showers) and over here when they needed medical care (Walter Reed was handed over to a private company instead of being gov't run).

Supporting the troops seems to be a hollow phrase and the people claiming to be patriotic only seem to want to have dissent with the gov't when a black person or a percieved liberal is in charge. That isn't patriotism that is facism and nationalism at work.

So my blood got a bit worked up from seeing something I associate these supposed patriots often express when confronted with a piece of evidence that things aren't going well over in Iraq.

No, I totally respect and apppreciate your point of view, and in re-reading my original post, I can see why you thought that, but that is not the case at all and I apologize for coming off that way, and appreciate you calling it to my attention that is how I was coming across :)

Yeah sorry it's just words on the net cannot often express satire and are often poorly constructed especially in fit of typing fast.

I myself cannot join the army or any branch of the military due to life long disability and this is a real disability not an anal cyst like Limbaugh has or any of the other deferants a lot of war mongers get due to things like bad acne. Ever wonder why those who want war often really suck at it yet those opposed to it except as a necessacity tend to do far better on it?

I understand, I have had my fair share of trouble with the internet because I tend to be very witty and sarcastic in real life, which does not translate well over the Internet as well as I would prefer!

I am also unable to join as well due to a hearing impairment (which isnt bad enough that I am unable to communicate or speak clearly, but in a dangerous situation like that, would definitely put me an increased risk), so I hear you on the disabled thing (see what I did there?! haha)
