Gordon Ramsay is back again to yell for no good reason.
This year’s prize is to become the head chef at Araxi in Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. Hope you like snow.
Sabrina’s mind is telling her she’s spicy, sweet, and sexy hot.
The first task is to cook their signature dishes. The girls are the red team, and the boys are the blue team. They will go head to head.
Suzanne: fontina fonduta risotto. Rice looks undercooked before even being tasted. It’s a little chalky. Or a lot.
Dave: ostrich with pan-seared brussel sprouts. Ostrich is cooked perfectly, but the brussel sprouts are undercooked.
Neither gets a point.
Tek: Honey grilled shrimp. Nice. Cooked beautifully.
Louie: Sausage gravy with biscuits. Oh, f*** me. Tastes like gunk.
Ladies get a point.
Joseph: Chop and vegetables. Lovely color. Brussel sprouts are rock hard.
Tennille: Lamb chop with balsamic glaze.
Ladies take the lead 2-0.
Joseph’s biggest issue: he’s not animal. He wants a fork. Cavemen eat with their hands.
Amanda: margarita french toast with tequila wine butter. She’s not joking.
Tony: Muscles with chorizo. There’s potential there. Nice.
Men get a point.
Melinda: Poached lobster and portobello mushrooms. Where is the lobster tail? She had some “challenges” during the cooking process.
Jim: Seared ahi tuna. Tastes delicious.
Men tie it at 2-2.
Neither Kevin nor Ariel score a point.
Lovely and Andy don’t score either.
Sabrina: Chiopotle wrapped pork tenderloin. Why’s it so hot?
Van: Seared foie gras. Intriguing.
Men win 3-2.
As their punishment, the women must clean up the kitchen to prepare it for the opening of Hell’s Kitchen. Their dinner will be bologna sandwiches. The men will get a special dinner from Ramsay’s restaurant. Because the men are partying and not apparently ready to stop any time soon, the women have the advantage of studying.
Scott is back to run the blue kitchen, while season 2 winner Heather will run the red kitchen.
Lovely starts off not so lovely. She’s already screwing up before the restaurant’s even open, having already overcooked things when there are no orders yet.
Tek is already bringing out the (raw) scallops. Lovely’s overcooked her pasta, which she blames on Tek.
Jim has cooked three scallops cut in half. Or at least he’s cooked two scallops cut in half anyway. Count to 6 now.
Robert from last season is back. He’s not just there for dinner, though. He is being given a second chance to compete in Hell’s Kitchen. Ramsay will break the news to him later.
Jim’s and Kevin’s second attempt at appetizers is sufficient.
Red team, however, continues to struggle. They have to start over. And over.
Louie puts unseared, unseasoned lamb into the oven.
For the eighth time, can the red team deliver appetizers? Nope, not cooked. So how much of this food is being throwed away?
Back to Louie again. Why’s he cooking spinach on the meat station?
So where’d Lovely go? She needed a break. After drinking 4 bottles of water, well, she’s still sitting around.
The salmon is stone cold. Amanda put it in the freezer instead of the fridge.
Back to Louie. Get out and pack your bags. Oh, like this wasn’t planned. Dinner service is over because it’s going nowhere, but there’s a replacement already lined up in the dining area. Robert’s back for a second chance.
Melinda, Lovely, and Amanda all screwed up for the girls. Since they served 0 entrees, a new record, they’ve lost. Despite this terrible loss, it was someone from the men who was thrown out. Amanda made a stupid move, but it was an honest mistake, even if it was a big mistake. The other two, who got them stuck on appetizers (and then there was Lovely’s coffee break), need to go up.
Melinda is the first nominee. Amanda is the second nominee.
Melinda, who’s been a deer in the headlights the whole time, has been eliminated. She’s being sent back to whatever planet she came from.
Robert has been moved over to the girls, which should give them somewhat of a boost.
