Oh, God yes, this was by far my favorite episode. And my favorite EdHill typo so far is the "wok" one. Priceless!

>

For some reason, I thought he said risotto is supposed to relax like "larvae"... and I thougth I was good at deciphering cockney!

Yes, this was definitely the best episode ever. I loved it!

Best episode so far (I have high hopes for even better shit to come)...

I also looked up The Gay Hanky Code and according to that chart:
Sara in Fuschia = spanker or spankee
I am thinking a definite Spanker!

Awesome episode. Did I miss when we started referring to Virginia as Veronica?!?

EdHill always does that FC. Her boobies confuse him.

That was neat. It was gross when Sara cut her finger though, or maybe the editors just made it seem gross. She was all "I'm fine, leave me alone", but you could see that her finger was covered in blood, and she then went straight back to cooking for the children. From now on she is Typhoid Sara.

Got done working and was kind of bummed for the day then........

THE BEST SHOW EVER CAME ON!!!!!

When Ramsay called everyone over and refered to someone on the blue team as "Doughnut" I thought this is the best show in the history of TV.

The look on Tom's face when Chef threw the apron at him was priceless!!!!

Loved it, loved it!!!!

Firecat, I did iyt last time and got called out on it, so I did it on purporse this time just cuz I thought it was funny. Like a way inside joke. I like to humor myself sometimes.

EdHill ~ whether it is chiffon or risotto, you bring a certain je ne sais quoi to your recaps. Bravo!

Although I was a little bummed there was no screencap of Rachel biting the sidewalk on her ice run.

ceenee (#2) ~ I also heard "larvae". Durn furreigners!!! Speak American! :D

"My hatred boils over. Sweet reality show hatred. I feed off it like a vampire." I love it, EdHill! I didn't like Sara from the beginning and now have proof that she's evil.

I loved the look on Jean Phillipe's face when those children came tearing into the restaurant.

It sounded like larvae to me too, but I turned on closed captioning and it was indeed lava.

Silly foreigners.

I like the Tom/Ton typo. Your subconcious cracks me up.

I've always thought "English Chef" is an oxymoron, but taking Gordo off the houligan rolls and putting him in this show is brilliant.

In re EdHill's typos, you need to remember the "rain, reign, rein" rule. It rains, monarchs reign and horses have reins.

Spot on re the earpiece on Gordo. How the hell did he allow Sara to get away with blatant sabotage? Oh, right, it's a game!

Wait...I thought the blue team got 9.85 and the red team got 9.84? Perhaps it is just a typ-o.

I live in Atlanta and I went to brunch with some friends the other week to a very famous little hole in the wall. While we were waiting for our table, I went next door to the bakery/coffee shop that is part of this restaurant. Suddenly I hear the most Southern, highest male voice say "what can I get for you sugar?" Embarrassingly enough I knew that I was about to look up into the plump face of the Dewberry. He now serves coffee at the Flying Biscuit and he is just as big and as red as he looked on HK last summer. He said that Gordo is one big act and that he is actually very nice once the cameras stop rolling. He may have been a lousy chef, but my soy chai latte was very good.

My favorite part is when Ramsey told Tom not to sweat in Keith's hot dog. What an episode. Sara is great television -- and so easily hateable.

Tony A., it’s “hooligan” not “houligan”. The tables have turned!! HA!!

dent, you should totally get a picture with the berryman. Tell him we all have big hetero crushes on him here at the TVgasm offices.

One of these days im going to do a non spellchecked recap just to watch everyones head explode. You wouldnt beleive how bad the first drafts look.

This was one of the better episodes. Highlights:

1. Mary Ann(sous chef)'s temper tantrum. We're used to the sous chefs being mean(remember the door taping incident?) but Mary Ann was just odd.

2. Jean Phillipe playing silly string with the lower class proliteriats(sp?). Oh those crazy commoners.

3. Ahh good ol chunky Sara. Now she's coming out into the light.

4. Did I actually hear G-Ram compliment Keith?

5. Ultimate humiliation of suggesting that Tom make the hot dogs, and then actually following through with it.

Oh this episode was a blast.

Thanks, EdHill. I beleive in you...(Grin)

Post#10, subgenre- I too was looking forward to the screen cap of Rachel, ice, sidewalk. That was great!

Act or not, I am a little worried about Gordon's blood pressure. Are paramedics standing by after the dinner service? They should be, that man is a walking heart attack! But where is (my beloved) "SHUT IT, SHUT IT DOWN!!!" ?

Virginia is married?! A newlywed?! And she is all over Gordon like that? FOR SHAME! "Miss meeeee...."

Sara, eh... I wanted to slap that smile right off of her. Calling out Heather and Sara in final 2, whatdoyathink?

That episode was simply the best! OMG, those kids... Jean Philippe's face when he saw them running into the dining room = just awesome. And I don't know how many times I watched Gordon Ramsay lose it on Tom, LOL! I thought Gordon was close to a heart attack.

Oh and wasn't Sara the one in the premiere episode who was trying to convince us that she would show that women could work together in the kitchen and not be catty and dirty bitches? Uh huh, fat liar.

Sara has to get hers. I can't wait for the day. I hope it's brutally humiliating. She's been bugging me since ep. 1.

man oh man do I wish I could share the love you all have for this show. I keep watching hoping something will snap in me. I loved the first season. Was it top chef that has ruined it for me?
Are any these people really qualified to work in a million dollar retaurant? and the berating and yelling is just too much. If it were real that would be different. This is all think about as Im watching, I needed vent, thanks. :)
I still reading your recaps on it though. You are hilarious as well as the comments!
ok end rant!! :)

Ya know it's all being set up for Sara's big comeuppance.

The minute I saw that kid downing a pixie stick, I knew we were in for a treat. Crazy, sugar-hyped little monsters!

I wish they actually showed more food prep. There's no sense of the assembly line of the various stations and how they interact.

karen(#24)-I know what you mean, I loved last season & I think "Top Chef" may have ruined HK a little for me. But then I also reminded myself there's no way in hell any of these people would have made it on a show like Top Chef and that's why they are on HK, for us all to hate & laugh at while they get their 15 minutes of Fox tv fame. Does that help any?

EdHill, I love your recaps!
You can see my brother behind G-Ram in the picture on the next to last page. He was a waiter on the show last season and is now the expeditor (sp?). Can you imagine being a part of all the mayhem? I can't wait to ask him about the kids' lunch. He says G-Ram is just as loveable in person as he appears on tv.
Anyways, am sad to see Tom go-I will miss all your comments about his sweat!

Karen (#24)
It was Top Chef. I loved the first HK but now I just watch it for the drama (of which there is a-plenty). Top Chef was the real cooking show.

Is that what it is? Cause I, too, am not "getting into" this season of HK. It's the same old schtick as last year. What's worse, is that no one is a chef.

So yes, Top Chef is perhaps guilty since like Project Runway, that Bravo show was 85% talent, 15% nonsense. FOX has it backwards and we viewers are tired of it. Maybe.

Besides, like PR, the Top Chef reunion show was SO MUCH BETTER than anything on teh networks. That was incredible.

LOVED the recap, but damn... could you guys please hire a damn proofreader? It's like EdHIll dictated the piece to a 5th grader or something:

"Hot dog's taste beter when its reigning outside - 'cos your the loan person in line... especialy when you can ride your hoarse the leased distance their!"

I'm with sg-dub, my fave typo was Tom/Ton.

I also wanted to see the recap of the chick busting her ass on the sidewalk with the ice.

And, wow, Mary Ann shocked the crap out of me. She started all sweet like, "Ok, do you guys want something to eat?" and then BOOM cake all over the floor. Wow, way to shut someone the hell up!

Great recap as always. Oh and about all the Top Chef ruined HK comments, I'm glad my cable was cut off when Top Chef came on because I wanted to see it and never did. Rock on HK!

I feel like I'm watching The Soprano's when I watch the show this season...every single guy is overweigh & greasy-looking, not to mention unattractive (heh)!

I dunno...between work & a child who doesn't want to go to bed every night (and gets up about 10 times)...I haven't been able to actually sit through an entire episode of this show yet. Maybe that's why, but I'm not loving this season/cast. Not yet, anyway.

ObstinantGirl-yeah, isn't it convenient they always seem to find at least one female with huge tatas but they seemed to have scraped the bottom of the barrel for the guys? No, Keith, rockin' your undies 6 inches above your pants ain't hot, not even when hip-hop guys do it on purpose. It's called being a huge guy with no ass! But I must say thank you for sparing us the ass crack.

Hey EdHill, I'm available for narration. How firm are you on the whole "drug free" thing?

I didn't read the comments so it may have been said but did anyone recognize that one of the people eating dinner in this episode was none other than Survivor winner Aras?
