Scheming Ben kicked out of 'Hell's Kitchen'

Guest blogger John-John Williams IV reports:

Last episode of Hell's Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay made a shocking announcement and sent Matt to the women’s team. The guys were glad to see him go—especially Ben. The girls were none-to-pleased to have him join their team.

This week Ramsay decided to test the contestant’s palates.

The girls built up a big lead in the blind taste-test. The competition came down to Matt defeating Ben, which gave the women’s team the victory. The men were responsible for cleaning up the living quarters as punishment for their loss. The women were rewarded with a spa treatment.

“We’ve been praying for spa day,” Jen told Ramsay.

“Yeah, you can fix that weave,” Ben said under his breath. (Even though she didn’t hear him, the comment totally showed what a poor sport, and loser, Ben is turning out to be.)

During the dinner service, Ramsay was on a rampage. First, he lashed out at Rosann, who couldn’t properly cook any of the fish at her station. Next, he lashed out at Jen, then Ben. (And boy did he lash out at Ben. He actually ordered him to stop cooking.)

Ramsay said the men were the losing team. Each player on the team was asked to nominate a teammate for eviction. Ben tried to scheme and get Louross kicked out. Petrozza didn’t go along with the plan. And Ramsay kicked out Ben. (Matt felt extremely validated.)

The preview for next week’s episode looks like a definite must-see. Two food critics visit the next dinner service, which has all the contestants on edge. One contestant cuts off a finger tip. It appears that the finger tip is accidentally mixed in with some food. (I’m not making this up. I’ll be glued to my television set for this one.)
