Ramsay tells her that he's not in the best of moods. "I don't like to be ignored in my own fucking kitchen." He asks her again what's going. She has no idea.
Robert tells us that when you're on garnish you have to be thirty seconds ahead of everyone else. "If she's not checking the tickets for us, we're screwed."
Ramsay calls her over for a little verbal spanking. He tells Gio to tell Andrea what's going. He starts to, and then goes blank. Now everyone is randomly yelling out the order. Ramsay repeats the order. "Two Wellington, two chicken, one lamb, one fucking Dory. One Wellington is medium, the rest is fucking normal. Unlike us." Hee.
He asks Andrea again what's going, and again she has no idea. He tells her to fuck off. He points her toward the dining room, and tells her to go out that way. As she heads out, she tells the cameraman to get the fucking camera out of her face.
But then along comes JP to ruin my good mood. He's come after Andrea, to talk to her. Why, JP, why? I thought we were friends.
He tells Andrea that Ramsay wants her to come back, to fight back. I fear he's right. "If you don't, you're finished."
She says this is the hardest thing she's done in her entire life. Then she starts telling JP that it's been out of control all night, there's no communication, blah, blah, blah. Why is he listening to her? Just let her leave!
He asks her if she wants to stay. Of course she does, JP! "So give it to Gordon." Wait, what? Oh, I get it! He's trying to goad her into yelling at Ramsay. JP wants to see a little bloodshed in Hell's Kitchen. Carry on, JP!
Alas, no. He seems to really want to help her. "So now you need to be strong. Go back in there and give it your best shot." And off she goes, ready to redeem herself.
When she gets up to the pass Ramsay asks her what is going, and SHE GETS IT WRONG. She says, "Two chicken, two lamb, one Wellington, one Dory." And Ramsay lets her back into the kitchen!! WHAT? Was he not paying attention? Ridiculous. If you're going to make that big of a deal about getting the order right, then why do you let her back into the kitchen when she got the order wrong? That is such crap.
Now Robert's in trouble. He has decided that the bacon for his scallops wasn't crispy enough. Why not crisp it up a little in the pan he's using to cook his Dory? Chef Ramsay asks, "Suppose they're allergic to bacon?" That would truly be a horrible allergy to have. I myself am allergic to apples. Them, I can live without. Bacon? Never!
Ramsay tells him he could send someone to the hospital doing that. Robert's response? "Oh, you're right." "Of course I'm fucking right, get the fucking bacon out. Come on, Mr. Bacon Man."
The first entrees still haven't left the kitchen. Gio has fucked up Ben's chicken dish once again, and Ramsay calls Ben over to take a look. "That's your special. Have a word with him, yeah." He brings all the garnish back to Andrea telling her to do whatever she wishes with it.
Ramsay goes on to say, "Your special is not very special, thanks to fuck face there." Ouch. He tells Gio to hurry up. And I think Gio has lost it because he replies, "Yeah, but I'm not a fuck face, Chef."
O. Now it is on. Like Donkey Kong. Everyone else in the kitchen has this O Crap moment. And then Ramsay tells him to say that again. And he does!!! And Ramsay loses it.
He gets right in Gio's face yelling about how pissed off he is. Gio stands there, and I think common sense has won out, but then Ramsay calls him a donkey and he says, "No." He really is bringing this on himself at this point.

Funny recap, as usual... but I'm sure you tire of hearing that all the time.
Ugh! One of my three picks to win was eliminated!
Gio...! What happened, man? Well, it's not like I thought he could run a "top class" restaurant, anyway.
It stinks that two of my three picks to win were singled out for elimination- Robert and Giovanni. At least my other pick, Paula, was the one who had to choose the candidates for elimination.
If anyone's interested in what's happened with previous Hell's Kitchen winners, you should check out the Wikipedia entry for the show. I'd post the URL here, but it's not allowed.

Great recap, but a blah episode generally. I guess this thing is Paula's to win if she can keep her head out of her arse.

Great recap for a piss-poor episode, PottyMouth! I bet Gordon would love to set fire to the casting director right about now. I wouldn't want any of those morons running my top-notch restaurant. Especially Ben. How annoying is that idiot?
I did like seeing the softer side of JP -- too bad his sweet nothings were wasted on Andrea. Yuck.

Friendly's Strawberry Fribble - snicker, snort.
I'm tired of the whining and lackluster performances. I had Gio to go all the way, but it seemed like he checked out this week. Between his attitude during the deliveries and his space cadet kitchen performance, it was time to go. The hot pan in the fridge was huge - of course he did not "mean" to hurt anyone, but what did you think would happen?? Still sorry Andrea the wicked witch did not get her walking papers too - but now that she has no one to blame for mistakes and no one to hide behind her lack of skill is obvious. Rosemary skewers? Really? Applebee's calling...
Potty Mouth, you did a bang up job with the junk we had this week. Thanks for the Princess Bride reference at the end (I do not think it means what he thinks it means)- loved it!

PottyMouth! Thanks for the almost naked ass shot of my bubba Robert (and I do love a nice pair of double-Ds on a fella, LOL!). Great job on this episode, I can always follow the action here, and thank you for calling out Ramsay on his professional use of "fuckface"! That kind of thing is totally appropriate in his "Kitchen Nightmares" scenarios where these idiots have been fucking up for years at a time, but it's not really much of a motivator when you're trying to work with someone...
love, J-Mo :)

Haha, as soon as I saw Robert lying in his bed almost topless I knew it would be a screencap here! Great recap!

Dear Pottymouth,
I'm so sad, I really thought Gio was going to win this trainwreck, and I can't believe Andrea is still there. The woman gives me a headache.
Love your recaps : )
Hugs,
Yenta

Great recap PottyMouth!
I was wondering what was up with the whole shutting down Hell's Kitchen twist at the end of the episode. Seems like the only 2 chefs worthy of the title are Paula and Danny. Maybe the dead weight should just be cut off now and let's fast forward to the season finale.
My heart was broken when I didn't see Andrea's bitchy self get tossed out on her ass at the end of this episode, but with Gio spacing out, I guess it was bound to happen. Maybe next week we'll all get lucky and see a double elimination of Andrea and Ben. What a douche.

Dear God, why oh why is Fat Bastard still around? REALLY could've done without seeing his nudey folds laying around in bed! Andrea has been up on the chopping block almost every episode; if Gio wasn't such a whiny, lazy pain, it probably would've been here.

Streaker: I was sad to see Gio go as well, but I really think it may be Paula or Danny who wins this.
Snootchy Bootches: I agree on the blah-ness. Hopefully this week will be a little more exciting.
jennaboa: I love any time we get to see JP. I just wish he had let Andrea GO!
njgasmifan: That hot pan in the fridge was ridiculous. He looked to me like he just got too tired to even care anymore.
J-Mo: You are most welcome! I knew I couldn’t deny you that pic!
rubinia: How could I resist? :)
Yenta: Hopefully Andrea will go tonight. I don’t know if I can stand looking at her for much longer!
jaded: I will keep my fingers crossed that you are right and we are headed for a double elimination.
TheGreatAndPowerfulShaz: He can actually cook better than some of the other people who are still there. I’m still hoping Andrea goes tonight.
Thanks for reading and commenting! I’ll be curious to see how long the “closing” lasts tonight. I’m thinking it won’t go past the fifteen minute mark.
SWAK, PottyMouth
