Slight shocker in 'Hell’s Kitchen'
The five remaining contestants -- Corey, Christina, Petrozza, Jen and Bobby -- had to teach the group of beginning cooks how to make lobster spaghetti.
Christina’s “student” did the best in a taste-test with Ramsay. Corey’s student wasn’t far behind.
Petrozza was too busy drooling over his student to do much teaching. (His student’s food was bland, according to Ramsay.)
The students of Bobby and Jen did not produce a good product. (It was a hint to the fate of the two contestants.)
After Ramsay announced that Christina won the challenge, the rest of the competitors gathered and agreed that she was the weakest of all the competitors. (It appeared to be a serious case of jealousy.)
Christina went into the dinner service with confidence and excelled.
Bobby was struggling on meats. He wasn’t cutting it correctly, nor was he able to cook it to Ramsay's standards.
Jen struggled with her fish. First it was undercooked. Then it was overcooked and rubbery. Adding insult to injury, Petrozza prematurely served one of Jen’s dishes raw, which sent Ramsay into a rage.
Jen, who has an extremely hard time keeping her mouth shut, started to argue with Ramsay. (Not a good idea.) At that point Ramsay essentially asked her whether she wanted to remain on the show. Jen wisely said she did.
Corey and Christina stayed out of Ramsay’s wrath by doing a decent job on appetizers and desserts.
Somehow Petrozza avoided nomination even though he repeatedly messed up on the vegetable station. His timing was off.
Ramsay said Christina had the best dinner service and charged her with picking two competitors for elimination. Christina picked Jen and Bobby.
I was almost certain that Jen was heading home last night. She was too. In fact, Jen packed her bags anticipating that she would be given the boot.
Ramsay surprised everybody and selected Bobby to go.
I guess Bobby didn’t live up to his claim of being the “Black Gordon Ramsay” after all.
