Correct elimination In Hell's Kitchen

An episode after Amanda was kicked out for essentially being the weakest member of her team, it was clear that Chef Gordon Ramsay was going to remove any excess fat from the competition on Hell's Kitchen.

Enter Andy, who is beyond weak. He’s been horrible all season long. Last night’s episode was no different. He essentially sliced off the tips of his finger while prepping for dinner and had to be treated at the emergency room.

Before Andy’s injury, the women’s team won the team challenge, out-cooking the men in a crepe-making contest. As a reward, the women received mime training (lame) and a French dinner. The men’s team was tasked with preparing both kitchens for the night’s dinner service. They were fed cow's tongue and hog head cheese. (Yuck!)

During the dinner service, Andy used his injury as an excuse, blaming it for using too much salad dressing. Ramsay pointed to Dave and Kevin as examples of contestants overcoming injuries in the competition. (It wasn’t looking good for Andy at that point.)


The women’s team – in particular Sabrina and the hated Suzanne – gave a couple of scares throughout the night. Suzanne undercooked and then overcooked the lamb. Sabrina messed up on under-seasoning the Risotto and frog legs.

Ramsay was so angered by what he saw he threw Sabrina, Suzanne, and Andy out of the dinner service. (I’m pretty sure that was a Hell’s Kitchen first.) He said none of the teams won the competition, which meant that all the contestants were responsible for nominating two chefs for elimination.

Suzanne and Andy were put on the chopping block. And surprise, surprise, Andy was sent packing. In a surprise move, Ramsay sent Suzanne to join the men’s team. I predict major trouble there with Suzanne’s bossy, know-it-all demeanor.

Tennille is the one that gets on my nerves. Yes, she is local girl, Hampton Roads. Still, she is mouthy and full of crap. She doesn't impress me in the kitchen. Yet, she is always running her mouth about how great she is. My money is on Dave.

Agree and disagree. Tenille is a royal PITA, but Kevin has shown himself to be the only real standout in the entire season. Dave is cool, but he doesn't take charge. Sticking the guy with Suzanne will be Chef Ramsay's way of testing the guys. Either they will crybaby about her all night long, or they will man up and take charge of their kitchen.
