Hell's Kitchen – Desperate Housewives kick Bobby to the curb
Believe it or not, Gordon Ramsey manages to teach everyone a dish without dropping a single f-bomb, or raising his voice. I know! I was shocked too! Everyone is in good spirits with the exit of miserly Matt, and have set their sights on Jen to be the next ousted, just knowing she’s going to cause more drama. Anyway, they learn how to make lobster spaghetti and surprises them by telling them that Hell’s Kitchen is now a cooking school. In saunters some of the most high maintenance women ever, straight out of the OC baby. They’re each assigned a sexy housewife falling out of her top, while Chef Ramsey offers to steam cook the little dog one of them brought into the kitchen. Heh.
So they teach the girls the same recipe, and Petrozza is all giddy and excited when he puts on his girls apron, causing Ramsey to shake his head and tsk with laughter. The chefs aren’t supposed to help, but Jen just can’t keep her fingers to herself and keeps taking over. Ramsey tastes all the dishes, and Christina is called the winner over a grumpy Corey. She gets to have lunch with Ramsey and two of LA’s top restaurateurs. Jen tries to eavesdrop on them while they’re cleaning while Corey continues to grump and figures that Christina will be all high and mighty when she gets back. She does drop a few names and terms and kinda acts just that when shedoes come back so guess Corey was right. Not that she’d be any different, right?
They’re told that tonight during service there will be a table of 12 – which will force them to work together as a team to pull it off. This, of course, is where everything goes downhill. Christina starts out rough with the appetizers, but finds her rhythm, while Bobby screws up at the meat station by serving up disgusting wellingtons and charred meat. Jen swears she didn’t put a dish at the station, but she’s the only one who culd have and Ramsey yells. The 12 top arrives and the girls, Corey and Christina pull off the appetizers by putting their differences aside and working together – GASP what a CONCEPT! Petrozza, Bobby and Jen try to survive the entrees, but Jen is too slow and serving raw fish, and Ramsey jumps in and takes over her station while Petrozza doesn’t communicate and Bobby lights meat on fire. Things are falling apart – but they manage to get a hold of it and complete service. Ramsey ain’t happy though. Course, when is he? He is impressed with Christina, and she’s handed the responsibility of nominating two for elimination.
When the time comes, Christina nominates Bobby and Jen, then says she wants Jen to go more and Ramsey turns around and sends Bobby packing instead. I wouldn’t want to work with Jen either, but apparently Ramsey sees more talent in her than he does in Bobby. So long, “black Gordon Ramsey”.
