Loves the recap as usual :)

You really do need to get over your shellfish thing, it's quite tasty. And by the way, that "poor little lobster" is a carnivore and would eat you should your body end up on a seabed somewhere.

Oh, and Jen eating out of the garbage isn't so weird. People at my dining hall used to do it all the time, mostly because we get that the food in there has just been moved from a pan into the trash and it's not like the trash fairy has magically made it moldy and gross as soon as it hit the can.

And did you notice how Corey totally went schizo about Christina? They were chatting away about Jen being so annoying and then when Corey loses she goes apeshit on Christina talking about how she pisses her off and stuff. Weird editing or is Corey kinda crazy?

I completely missed this week, thanks for the recap!

Team Anti Shellfish unite!

And I will never grow tired of your peeing souffles imagery. Too funny.

So, the big question is did the producers interfere because Jen "makes good tv." I mean, that seems like the only logical explanation. The General really only had this one bad service, and has been pretty consistent throughout. Jen has been awful for the last three or four dinner services.

Anyway, I think it's clear at this point that Christina and Corey have to be the favorites. Smart money has to be on Corey, right?

By the way, the eating out of the garbage can thing totally disgusted me. And I am kinda curious which type of dining hall Pixiegal is referring to where people regularly eat out of the trash can. This has to be freshmen at college, right? Either that or homeless people. (That's meant as a joke, not as a jab at Pixiegal).

Lol, Alafoss- it totally is the freshman who do it ;-)

I had another look at Jen's eating and she was basically eating off the plates before the food went in the garbage...it's odd, certainly, but not particularly gross.

Beside that, who else thinks they waste a ton of food on this show? People burn things, serve them raw, over salted, under-seasoned and all that and presumably throw it all away. And then during the challenges they waste lots of food just to have G-Rams take one bite and then toss it out. I hope they compost all that food.

Great Recap!

BTW - did anyone else notice that JP's tie keeps changing color during the "same" dinner service? Maybe it's just me, but I swear his tie went from red to blue and back to red!

And if Jen somehow wins this, I'll be so very sick and sad at Gordon. :(

Wasn't there someone last season who ate out of the garbage? Or served food they got out of the garbage?? Something like that.

I'm thinking that Ramsey is going to give the prize to two people (Christina and Corey) and tell them to work together at his new restaurant.

Yeah, last season the girl who came in 3rd took spaghetti outta the trash and actually went to serve it before another girl stopped her. Yet, she made it to the top 3. Yikes.

I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that the General just kinda floated through everything. True, he was far more talented than the walking disaster that is Jen, but he was a little too laid back most of the time. He never wanted to be involved in conflict, didn't want to pitch in when help was needed, never gave off those little direction or leadership vibes RamJam looks for. Hell, he even left acting like it wasn't a big deal. I think the General was sent home because Chef expected more outta him and wasn't getting it.

Yes, I am ready for Jen and her loud mouth to go, but I've been wanting that slack-jawed loser 'The General' to go since the very beginning, esp when he was the so-called leader (ep 1?) and couldn't delegate or get anyone to get anything done! So NOT chef material.

Then again, none of them is...

I'm sure most of you realise that the winner (I am not sure who) is soon-to-be the *sous* chef at Ram Jam's new (and apparently fairly crappy with mini-mean & exe portions) resto at The London Hotel (formerly the very cool Bel Age Hotel, where once I saw Jimmy Page from Led Zepplin !!!!!! as well as a few other visiting Brit celebs).

NOT 'head chef' *at all*, as trumpeted all season long.

Because they just aren't nearly good enough.

*sigh*

sorry, didn't mean to repeat much of yr comment, jaded.

And yeah, I've plucked the occassional thing outa the bin at home, and then eaten it (within reason), but certainly not served it in a professional resto.

That spaghetti incident from the previous season was jaw-dropping.
