'Hell's Kitchen': A case of sabotage?

John-John is back again with his report on last night's Hell's Kitchen:

A hero’s welcome for a soldier who recently completed a tour of duty in the Middle East turned disastrous for the women’s team during last night’s episode of Hell’s Kitchen.

Both teams were charged with developing a menu for a surprise dinner for the solider. The soldier’s wife met with a representative from each team — Robert and Suzanne — to better give them an idea of what to serve.

Suzanne completely sabotaged her team by ignoring the woman’s preferences.

Her menu decisions were way too bland. Robert, on the other hand, followed the woman’s wants, and as a result, the men’s team was declared the winner. The men's prize was the chance to ride in fighter jets, as well as having their menu used for the homecoming dinner. The women had to decorate the dining hall for the night’s meal as punishment.

Suzanne's team was so mad at her for ignoring the wife’s preferences and their suggestions when they were developing menu options.

 

Then when it came time for the meal preparation, the women complained that the men weren’t sharing recipes for the evening, which essentially, they said, sabotaged them.

The women were determined to win the dinner service, which they have not been able to do all season, but they continued their winless streak.

Tek was terrible on the meat station. She undercooked some steaks and burned others. Ramsay was incensed. It got so bad that Ramsay ordered her to a back room so that he could continue screaming at her.

The men’s team was rolling despite a less-than-stellar performance on the meat station by Jim. Ramsay eventually ordered the men’s team to take over all the women’s orders and complete their dinner service.

“That was crap,” Ramsay said to the women.

Ramsay tasked the women with choosing two for elimination. They chose Tek and Tennille. Ramsay was surprised by the choice of Tennille. She was extremely upset by the decision. She yelled out a couple four-letter words during the elimination ceremony to further make that point.

Ramsay agreed and sent her back into the line of safety. Ramsay called up Amanda, who undercooked lobster during the dinner service.

He told her that she looked like she was done. She sobbed, and sobbed, and said that she wanted to stay in the competition.

Ramsay sent home Tek, who maintained during her farewell confessional that she was a great cook. Blah, blah, blah …

You failed to mention that the women didn't even serve 1 table their entrees before the men completed all of them.
