Wow, Ramsay is not letting up on him. This is why it's better to just shut up and take whatever crap he's going to dish out. You don't want to add fuel to his fire. Gio tells us he's an emotional person, but Ramsay was not going to break him. Don't be so sure about that, Gio.
Ramsay is following him around the kitchen yelling and really just hoping he mouths off again. Gio wisely has decided to retreat into answers like "No, Chef" and "Yes, Chef."
Chef Ramsay tells him that this isn't personal, it's professional. Um, okay. Since when is calling someone a fuck face professional? Oh, sorry, I forgot where we were for a minute there. "Now pull it BACK!"
Ben gets sent over to the meat station to help Gio. Ben tells Gio to just worry about the Wellington, he's got the rest. Now that Ben's cooking his own special, you know, the one that he created, all is sure to go swimmingly, yes?
Oh no, you sillies. Ben cannot cook his own special. Typical. He has sliced the chicken, and now is putting it back into the oven. Why? Because it wasn't done. Ramsay says it will go dry if he cuts it and puts it back in. "It's juicy, Chef, it's juicy."
Ben tells us that every single service Ramsay finds something to just nail his ass to the wall about. Maybe that's because every single service you find a way to fuck stuff up.
Ramsay points out that all the delicious juice of the chicken is all over the cutting board, rather than on the customers' plates. He thinks the customers should be tasting that, not Ben. "I bet you've tasted enough." Hah.
Paula says, "On any given day, Chef could be up anybody's ass. It just so happens that Ben has more of those days than some of us." How right you are Paula.
Ramsay has a giant bug up his ass tonight. He is still yelling at Ben about cutting the chickens. Let it go, Chef. You'll live longer.
We are now two hours into dinner service. Only five tables have been served their entrees. It's not looking too good for the rest of the dining room.
Andrea has sent up garnish for food that Gio hasn't yet delivered. He tells Ramsay he needs two minutes. Where's the teamwork? Where's the communication?
These guys are just falling apart. Andrea asks what's on deck. No answer. Then Gio just starts stuttering out stuff, and no one knows what the fuck he's talking about. Robert's asking if he can drop the Dory. No answer. Ramsay asks how long, and Gio says four minutes. That means Robert has to restart his Dory.
Ramsay calls Gio, Robert and Andrea up to tell them how wonderful they are what shit they are. He thinks all three of them are pathetic. Gio doesn't care, Robert's way behind, and Andrea doesn't have a fucking clue. He tells them they need to start working as a team.
Robert asks Gio where his Wellingtons are, and Gio goes over to the fridge. When he turns around, he burns Robert with the pan he is holding. Why does he have a hot pan in the cooler? Robert's question and mine.
Robert goes off to see the medic, while Gio stands around looking dopey. Robert says he could hear the sizzle as his hand hit the pan. I bet that smelled good.

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
