Maria was sent packing in Hell’s Kitchen Season 7 Episode 5.

Nilka has decided she hates everybody, from the bottom of her ass.

The challenge is to create dishes using one of the 5 mother sauces and all 20 ingredients with no repeats. Blue works on a plan together. Nilka is focused on her own dish, for which she hordes all the ingredients she can get her hands on. Autumn is happy to be working on a united team without all that bickering.

Because we haven’t seen enough of his family members so far this season, Ramsay has invited his mother and wife to help judge.

Fran cooked pasta and oysters. Ramsay calls her a smart cookie for taking the risk with that combination. Salvatore has made eggplant and undercooked pasta. Red team gets the first point.

Siobhan has butterfly cornish hen, or at least that’s what she thinks. It’s a pigeon, a bloody one. Not even gonna taste that one. Jay has made duck breast and peas. Bland, undercooked, and crunchy. Nobody gets a point.

Holli makes halibut. Or sea bass as Ramsay calls it. Ed and Autumn cooked sea bass as well. Both dishes are good, but the blue team gets the point.

Nilka cooked steak and mushrooms. First class. Jason made steak and potatoes, also very tasty. Red team takes the lead 2-1.

Benjamin made John Dory. A little dry and a touch too little seasoning. Scott made duck breast on sweet potatoes. Too pink and unseasoned. Blue team ties 2-2.

In order to break the tie, Ramsay highlights Jason’s dish, which shouldn’t have lost the point anyway. This brings the blue team to a win.

Nilka, who had the best dish, has Scott angry. She grabbed all the ingredients everybody else wanted. Not only did that help her shine, but it also screwed over everybody else.

Red team will be cleaning the kitchens. In the process, Siobhan breaks out in hives. Punishment part two is to prep both kitchens.

Blue team will be treated to an English afternoon, which I take to mean tea and crumpets.

Fran says that the red team is so much worse now that Scott’s there. He may not be bringing much to the table in terms of cooking, but at least he’s not having a breakdown like half the chicks on the team.

It’s family night, meaning there will be a children’s menu, and Ramsay will make an effort for the first few seconds not to swear.

Who’s cooking the spaghetti? Red team does not know. Perhaps if Benjamin explains it to Siobhan, she will cook it. Might want to wait until the water is boiling first, though.

The blue kitchen is getting appetizers out to their customers, but it’s not long before Salvatore starts getting yelled at. By lying about the risotto, he’s lost Ramsay’s trust. He had it before?

Nilka gets scolded for cursing in front of the children. Pot, meet kettle.

Fran overcooks her scallops. Maybe Jason can deliver the chicken on the blue team. Maybe not.

Back in the red kitchen, appetizers finally start going out. Now Scott can try to cook the beef. Try being the operative word. He knew they were undercooked but didn’t think they were too undercooked. That’s comforting.

Ramsay gathers the red team for a question. Is that the best roast chicken and the best beef? No, chef. Red team is dismissed. Time to dogpile on Scott. It’s apparently his fault they suck.

With the red team out of the kitchen, the yelling stops, and service is completed.

Red team will need to pick two nominees. Scott says Siobhan and Nilka or Fran. The women will obviously target him.

The first nominee is Scott; the second nominee is Fran. That said, Fran wants Siobhan to be the second nominee. This all leads to continued bickering amongst the team. Fire them all. What chance do any of them really have?

Fran, Scott, and Siobhan step forward. Scott’s finally reached the end of his rope. He may be overly full of himself, but the red team’s downfall is their arguing.

Benjamin, who had hoped to destroy the red team, is now part of it. Good luck, dude.

With both teams having performed well, Autumn and Scott were spared from elimination in Hell’s Kitchen Season 7 Episode 4, although it meant they had to switch to the opposite teams.

Autumn’s happy to be blue, since it means she can get away from those bitches. Scott continues to claim his downfall was helping other people.

Ramsay brings in some pigs. They’re not going to have to butcher them. Rather, on their collars are ingredients. Nilka wants to get bacon, but bacon is too damn fast. She gets stuck with blood sausage. Hopefully that goes well with prunes.

Once that is done, they will work in pairs for 45 minutes to cook three pork dishes. Siobhan doesn’t like Scott because people who offer input suck. Fran and Nilka explode their already difficult to make appealing blood sausage.

Nilka and Fran cooked blood sausage with a prune puree. Nilka’s not pleased with the plate. Ramsay spits it out. Whose idea was prune and sausages? That would be Scott, but to be fair, the items Nilka and Fran were so horrible they deserved to get screwed over. Benjamin and Ed cook pork loin and bok choy. This dish is delicious. They score a point, and Ben offers to make love to his dish.

Jason and Autumn cooked honey glazed bacon with honeyslaw. Nice but too sweet. Ramsay suggests they should have added mustard, which Autumn wanted to do but was shot down. Siobhan and Holli made pork tenderloin with sweet and sour apple and mustard sauce. Cooked perfectly, and the red team ties it 1-1.

Jay and Salvatore cooked pork loin chop and pinto beans. Nice. Maria and Scott made something quite long-winded. Nobody can figure out what Maria is babbling about. Ramsay explains it, and what was wrong with it. The sweet potato soup garnished with a bit of hamhock is not what the task was. The pork was supposed to be the main ingredient. Blue team wins the challenge.

For their punishment, the red team will clean up the pigs. And in case you’re wondering, pigs really don’t like taking baths. The blue team’s reward is a trip to the spa. They find out that Autumn looks better in a bikini than Scott would.

Tonight is the first ever Hell’s Kitchen BBQ.

Nilka starts off frying chicken. The problem is this is not a fast food restaurant. She shouldn’t have fried half the chicken before they even begin.

While the blue team is serving, red team will be cooking. Then they’ll switch around.

Sal says that, if the customer doesn’t like the food, he has no problem bringing it right back. His writing’s not any better than it was last time, which he says is because he didn’t go to school.

There’s plenty of arguing in the kitchen. Nobody wants to listen to anybody. These idiots might consider listening to Ramsay at least.

Fran gets the first compliment of the night, doing a good job on her appetizers.

Autumn follows right where Sal started. Rather than just offering to take food back, she badgers people to do so. She’ll be taking whatever she can get back, just for the sake of screwing over the other team. Siobhan’s burgers are returned undercooked.

Scott’s chicken does not impress. It’s like leftover fast food, which is apparently a bad thing. Then he gets yelled at for leaving the oven door open while cooking.

This time the burgers don’t even get out. Siobhan’s burgers get rejected by Ramsay because they are raw. With that, time’s up.

Blue team heads into the kitchen, as the red team goes out into the serving area. Red team doesn’t even have to try to screw up. It takes 10 minutes for the first ordered to be delivered.

Like Fran, Jay gets compliments for his appetizers.

Sal’s in his own little world. He’s got too many voices in his head.

Maria and Holli both take orders from table 33. Ramsay’s question is why Maria didn’t check whether their orders had already been taken. If I’m a customer, I’d let her know without being checked with. All quite fishy.

Autumn’s ribs are stone cold.

After an hour and a half, all of the diners have received their appetizers. If only they were the ones they asked for. Another screw up by Maria.

Jason has dropped some chicken in with the fries. Sounds like a good idea to me. Not such a good idea to the ranting madman.

The red team loses because it’s almost like they all hate each other. Fran will be responsible for nominating two people. Scott’s pitch is that Maria’s screwed no matter what, but she shouldn’t risk him, too.

Maria is the first nominee. Nilka is the second nominee, and she’s not happy by this surprise. If Fran won’t nominate Scott, Ramsay will.

Nilka can get back in line. Scott’s nomination was merely an attempt at creating drama, as Maria is the person leaving Hell’s Kitchen.
