Whiney Matt gets the boot at LAST.

Has anyone on any show whined as much as Hell’s Kitchen’s Matt? Seriously, that guy had more excuses then my teenagers, and that’s quite a feat, let me tell ya! After his seasoning the appetizers with his own sweat, making people send it back because it was salty last week, (and also, OMG EW!) I was disappointed to see him survive another week so that he could blame everything on everyone else again this week.

The chefs were taken to the roof of The London West Hollywood, which will be where the winning chef becomes executive chef at the end of the season. The teams merge, and it’s a chance for them all to individually shine – if they can quit whining long enough. In the first individual challenge – Matt does a passing job on the veal, but it comes down to Jen, who wins a trip to Vegas for the night much to everyone’s dismay. She takes Corey with her and they have dinner with last years winner, Rock Harper, while the rest of them have to unload the trucks for delivery day punishment.

Cue Matt’s whining. O. M. G. I wanted to slap him through the screen. Sure, Christina went a little militant on the leading, but it’s not like he was unloading all te trucks himself. Bobby starts to worry that Matt’s gone all Full Metal Jacket while I wonder how he was even chosen for the show as he CLEARLY can’t handle the stress of….unloading delivery trucks. Snerk.

Dinner service has Ramsey telling them what stations they’ll be working and encouraging them to work as a team – then putting Matt and Christina together on the meat station. He can’t remember a damn thing – not even when Ramsey tells him what he needs four times in a row. Four times in a row, Matt gets it wrong. Then he blames a sudden Migraine that he’s supposedly just gotten, as well as the meat itself for daring to confuse him. Corey burns her hand, and has to be yelled at to go see the medic, but comes back in and steps in to help get things on track, Christina gets caught cooking two different meats in the same pan, and Matt has a meltdown when Ramsey yells at him for overcooked meat, causing him to act like a 3 year old once again. He offers 80gazillion excuses for why he’s screwing up, claims a migraine again and Ramsey drags him out by the hand and tells him to go lay down.

Then he tosses Jen after she burns a pan of rice she put on someone elses station, then he kicks them all out and declares them useless and for the love of all things holy Shut. It. Down! The team is told to come to a consensus and put up two for elimination and tells them to piss off. Matt stays behind and whines like a little bitch to Ramsey about how he knows he did wrong, and if he should give up because of a migraine, so be it. Ramsey tells him to man up and fight for heaven’s sake, and Matt takes that as a sign that Ramsey loves him and would never kick him off the show.

….

He then proceeds to tell the other chefs to go ahead and put him up because he won’t go because he’s better then all of them.

….

Delusional much? Bobby pegs it by saying Matt “deserves to be kicked off the universe.”

Elimination time, Corey says she thinks she deserves to be up there too, and he adds her to the mix, but thankfully FINALLY kicks off Crazy Matt. (I swear, I’ve never met a Matt who wasn’t delusional. Sane Matts – are you out there?!) In an interview with Buddy TV, he says he was just being funny, and that those who know him understand that. Umhm. He’s now the executive chef in South Jersey, Pizzicato.

I’m afraid none of these guys are good enough to be executive chef for Ramsey – though of them all, perhaps Bobby and Jen (much as she annoys me with her arrogance) have the most solid chance. What do you think? Is this the worst final 5 yet?
