I never really hated Julia, but her crying here was ridiculous. She is getting sent to Culinary School! Quit crying, you are getting a great prize that none of the other losers are getting. Rock is just a flat out ASS. I would rather cheer for an emotional ditz than an A-hole any day.

Also, it was nice to see how well Melissa's chin healed up. If she could only do something about that accent...

Ah yes, the clip show...... Way to insult your viewers' intelligence.

Let's start with one of the most annoying things I've seen this season (wait, that can't be right--) namely Bonnie drinking red wine from a champagne flute. Um, girl? Wine glasses have different shapes for a reason -- to deliver *appropriately* the bouquet of your libation to your palate and olfactory organs (nose). Got that? And you think you can run a restaurant? You can't even bother to rinse out a wine glass.

I don't like the sound of Bonnie's fun-filled mismatched plates, but I bet all that means is that the soup bowls are a fetching cornflower blue and the bread and butter plates are a charming rose pink etc Note to all chefs and cooks -- food is best presented with a white background, to showcase the *food* rather than your taste in chinaware.

I think the decor for both the restaurants will end up being stylish and glam. And entirely different, which is good.

Um, who bundles up in scarves and woolly hats to go to Vegas? Does it ever get that cold there??

If I were Bonnie, I would have definitely taken a photo of that sign!

[Sorry, HG, but that's 'marquee' not 'marquis'... The latter is a European nobleman, fyi. Also 'bated', not 'baited' breath -- it comes from 'abate' which sort of means to decrease...]

I am not surprised that Bonnie chose Melissa's boobs over Julia. Melissa really can cook haute cuisine.

Next week had better not be a padded two hour finale! At this stage, I don't really give a flying fuck who wins.

Woopsie! My bad on the spelling errors. Thanks DMG - I'm glad there's someone here with some expertise. Although in the moment I may have actually meant to say that a European nobleman was welcoming Rock and Bonnie to chilly Las Vegas. My mind wandered a lot during this episode. :)

Much love,

I'm on team Rock. Cocky as he may be, I don't think there is any way Bonnie could run a restaurant! I was hoping for a Jen and Rock finale. She's a much better chef and not to mention, not as much of a moron.
Plus, I love how in their Vegas challenge, Bonnie kept referring to her dish as "fettucini alfredo," or something like that. I would never have told a professional chef that that was my signature dish. At least tell them that it is a "fettucini with lobster and crab sauce." Lame. Must have been good though b/c she won.
Anyway, I hope Rock wins. He has a family to support and he's already an executive chef. I think he could handle it better than her. Bonnie would totally blow if she had to run a restaurant in Vegas. I know she's not really a nanny, but maybe she should focus on that part of her career. She can make mini grilled sammies and tomato soup for her little kiddos.

what the hell...this is when i stop watching. No donuts, no donkeys, no ramjam ramjammin...tata

Yeah, well, good recap, but I get you a doughnut Rock wins.

Now that you learned some spellin' from DMG maybe you'll quit using "confessional" as a verb. It grates on me the same as when John Madden says a quarterback is "audibleizing". Yuck. Good recap, otherwise. You see through all the ploy quite well.

Now that you learned some spelling from DMG it's back to the woodshed for your stance using "confessional" as a verb. It grates on me the same as when John Madden says that a quarterback is "audibleizing" at the line. Yuck. Great recaps, however. You see through the ploys very well.

Oh, Snap!

Oh, Snap!

KristiM doesn't like Rock. KristiM has never liked Rock. KristiM wonders why we can't vote for our favorites like on other Fox shows?

Donna Martin Graduates, Yes it does get that cold in Las Vegas. Just because it's the desert doesn't mean it doesn't get freezing in the winter; especially at night.

I am hoping neither of them win, but I could tolerate Bonnie winning. It'd just show that women can actually work together and be successful and that we're not all bitches to each other.

Auuugh. I really cannot stand Bonnie. After the commercial, when those last two chefs voted for her, I screamed at the teevee. XD Team Rock for me. Guess your readers are as split up as much as you were?

Mismatched dinnerware = no. I really do like going to a restaurant and seeing everything uniform and beautiful. It seems more classy.

I also don't think Julia really needed to cry. I do feel sorry her, but she *is* going to culinary school for free, with recommendations from Chef Ramsey. Why is there anything to be sad about?

Great recap. I love reading them always. 8)

Why was Julia crying so much?

Methinks Julie was PMSing.
