Because she fell apart during the service, Tek was sent home in Hell’s Kitchen Season 6 Episode 5.
Amanda narrowly escaped being eliminated. Ramsay warns her to bounce back quickly.
Tennille wants her team to get over the past.
The teams will create three dishes with a maximum meal of 700 calories. Robert takes 700 calorie bites. It shows. Kevin and Robert are on appetizers, Jim and Van are on entrees, and Dave and Andy are on desserts for the men. The women follow Sabrina’s lead. The men already top 1000 calories, not counting dessert, half of which is noodles from what Van considers his money entree. While the men count calories, the women start cooking. Sabrina has to hold Amanda’s hand to make the dessert. With 12 minutes left and being far behind, the men have no choice but to start cooking. The men end up at 597 calories; the women end up at 694 calories. Now it comes down to taste.
Appetizers
Women: Scallop with tangy mango chutney
Men: Grilled Key West seafood salad
Even. 1 point each.
Entrees
Women: Cottage cheese and mushroom-stuffed pork chop.
Men: Pork cutlet with noodles. Looks like a child’s portion. Very dry.
Women get a point.
Desserts
Women: Fruit bowl. Zesty, vibrant, professional.
Men: Egg white crepe filled with apple fruit compote. What is that? Tastes foul.
Women get a point and win the challenge.
The men will have to go to the market and buy the ingredients quickly to return to do double prep and open that night. Oh, and they’re going to be riding on a bike built for six to do their shopping. For their reward, the women will go to Venice Beach for a volleyball lesson.
Following the bike ride, Robert needs to see a medic. That was a pretty stupid task. They will be rushing him to the emergency room. Again. He will not be returning for service tonight.
Andy messes up the order. That British guy needs to slow down a little for him.
Ariel has not cooked her scallops correctly. Back to the drawing board. Jim, likewise, will need to start over due to his excess pepper. Ariel has bounced back to deliver acceptable scallops.
Tennille has cooked far too much spinach. She will bite her tongue as Ramsay screams at her for little good reason.
Jim’s bland risotto does not impress Ramsay. It tastes like baby food. His message: baby food tastes good.
Back to Tennille, who has messed up the potatoes. This time, she has delivered too little, in an effort to not deliver too much. It’s good she’s upset because she’s crap. Her response to this: no, you’re crap. That leads to a demand to get out. Then there’s a shouting match. She’s even louder than he is. If she agrees to keep her mouth shut, he will let her back into the kitchen.
Jim still can’t figure out risotto. Scott has to take over for him, allowing them to finally get out appetizers at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark.
Over in the women’s kitchen, where’s the chicken? Sabrina says she put it up first. So did it mysteriously disappear? Did it fly away? Is it in the trash? Either way, she’ll have to cook a chicken.
Dave gets confused. Which dishes go with which garnishes?
Back to the red kitchen, where’s the chicken? Sabrina’s struggling to cut it.
Andy can’t cook the fish, and that’s okay because he can’t count how many he needs anyway. Like him, though, Sabrina delivers raw pork. Going from one extreme to another, Andy has delivered a hockey puck. He tries again. Then he fails again. Lucky for him Sabrina’s screwing up, too. She can’t get her pork right either.
Time to shut it down. Both teams lose. One person from each team will be nominated.
Dave blames Andy. Jim also blames Andy. Kevin would put Jim up. However, they are also considering Robert since he missed the service.
Sabrina wants to nominate Tennille because she walked out, except she didn’t walk out. Tennille would like to return the favor. Suzanne agrees with Tennille. Amanda doesn’t, though.
The women have nominated Sabrina due to her raw pork. Ramsay will not allow the men to nominate Robert, but if he’s not back in the next service, he’s out. That said, Andy has been nominated.
That all doesn’t matter. The person leaving Hell’s Kitchen is Jim. He doesn’t care enough to be there.
