I would love to see this. Absolutely love it. I think he'd fold you up like a wilted piece of yesterday's lettuce, and toss you in a refuse bowl.

Francis!!

You are a heck of a multi-tasker. You found time to post during a busy summer school session, during which you are teaching remedial courses to all of the students you already promoted to the next grade to get them up to standard before they repeat the same failed cycle next year! Nice.

Insulting each other is all part of the “Hell’s Kitchen” experience.

So last week Jimmy "wins the challenge" and then gets the axe.
This week Elsie "wins the challenge" and gets the axe.
Coincidence, or conspiracy?

Do you think Elsie would still be in it had she
answered the question of support truthfully?

I still think Ralph will win it; I think Michael
will get axed next week.

You don't think Ramsey knew the answer to the question he asked Elsie? He had been preaching team, and she "protected" team. So what does he want? Team or truth?!?!?!?

Ramsey really liked Elsie. If she was worth saving to him, he would have saved her. She's a good support function once she masters something but running her own place would have steam rolled her.

Jessica drives me crazy. It would make sense to be b/t Ralph and Michael but I think one of those guys is off next week.

I'm certain he did. He's no idiot. I just wondered what difference it would have made if she'd answered differently. He certainly implied that her answer would affect his decision.

I watched my first episode of this by accident tonight.

It's down to the final 3: Ralph, Michael, and Jessica (the blonde lesbian)

They were judged based on their entree creations. Ralph made a filet mignon, Michael made some kind of crusted tuna, and Jessica made a stuffed chicken breasts. The families of the final 3 contestants tasted the dishes and picked their favorite ones. Surprisingly, the tuna came in first place, the filet mignon second place, and Jessica's stuffed chicken placed last...sending her home.

Fox did good by bringing a show like this on instead of another bombed out American Idol.

Sapril,

You seem to have forgotten about "So You Think You Can Dance?" I'm its executive producer.

However, I have no affiliation with Gordon Ramsay or Hell's Kitchen.

BD -

I didn't notice you mention "Michael with all the tats" or "Ralph the going bald guy with the fiancee with the really big...."

Why "Jessica (the blonde lesbian)"? Is it really that important to point out that she is a lesbian? Or were you just really into her kiss with her girlfriend?

I thought it was cool that Michael's wife had as many tattoos herself. Ralphie's ample chested fiancee was not all that big a deal. I can see her pushing well over 300lbs. after a year of marriage. Jessica being a dyke though really ruined my fantasys about the show. I had entertained the dream of banging her silly all over the desert table, using all sorts of desert condiments to their best. Now, it's just bending her over the sink and having at it in between courses.

I did notice, on a completely different thought, that the wines used on the show are provided by Sheafer (sp?).

Then you must have really enjoyed her "passing out" in her drunken stupor on the kitchen counter. Must have made you really hot, huh Wildcard?!??!?!

Actually I thought her passing out was irresponsible. It made me disappointed and irritated. Did it do something for you?

What's funny is that until last night we didn't know anything about the sexual preferences of any of the contestants.

Except Elsie, with her six kids.

And Dewberry, obviously.

Dave,

I don't really understand what the sexual preference of the contestants has to do with anything. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Wildcard,

Uh, no. But then I wasn't the one talking about "banging her silly all over the desert (sic) table" or "bending her over the sink and having at it." Enjoy your little fantasies...

I meant it was funny in the context of BD's post.

Personally I don't care what a chef gets up to,
so long as they wash their hands afterwards.

I think she's a semi-hot lesbian. I didn't care too much for her girlfriend.

When the credits rolled, it did state that wines were provided by Shafer Vineyards.

Maybe it's just me, but I got the impression that there was something going on between Ramsey and Jean Philippe, his "long time" Maitre'D.
