Two new posts today.
First is last night's Hell's Kitchen episode. Last night we were down to four contestants. Cory, Christina, Jen, and Petrozza. Christina won last nights Challenger, yet again. This time the prize was a $1,000+ clothes shopping spree at Lisa Kline's with Lisa herself. Jealousy reared its ugly head in both Cory and Jen with both of them commenting that the reward was wasted on Christina since she has no fashion sense. This was followed by a cold shoulder from all three when Christina came in and offered her help with prepping for dinner service, even though the winners usually sit back till service is to start.
During evening service Jen and Cory both waffled a bit in their service. Chef Ramsey berated Petrozza, again, about the general mess and slovenliness of his station. Christina brought a pan for Chef Ramsey and didn't mention the handle was hot. She rally goofed and did it a second time later on. Chef Ramsey burned his hand both times, leaving him quite upset with Christina's lack of warning.
When it came time for the team to nominate 2 people for elimination; Christina, Petrozza, and Cory were all in agreement that Jen needed to go. It was then decided to put Petrozza up apposite Jen. After final plea's, Chef Ramsey sent Jen home. Leaving the final three of Cory, Christina, and Petrozza.
Jen from day one had a chip on her shoulder. It grew worse and worse as each week passed. For the last couple weeks Jen has been out for one person and one person only, herself. Even to the point of undermining the team efforts and waffling service and ability. One moment cooking great and next serving junk, especially after a dressing down from Chef Ramsey. Several times she seemed to just give up and phone in her work. It was past time for her departure, in my opinion.
Of the final three only 2 have what it takes in my opinion, Christina and Petrozza. Cory runs hot and cold and just doesn't quite have what it takes, I believe. Christina on the other hand has shown an increasing aptitude and improvement in her work and cooking. She has real potential at winning this. Petrozza is fairly good as well but he has two distinct turn offs for me. One, he is very messy in the kitchen. Dirty pots and pans all over the place and continuing using same surface over and over with out cleaning off between dishes cooked. Second, he is easily distracted and losses focus of what he should be doing any time a pretty face shows up, even pregnant.
Be sure to leave a comment and voice your opinion on who you think will win and who deserves/deserved to win this position as Chef Ramsey's new chef.
