Hell's Kitchen

Aaron and little Miss Attitude, it was a good week for people getting kicked off the show. Aaron was the kind of guy who I think acted more than he was serious. Did you notice whenever a major task was at hand he'd suddenly lose self control.

I've been catching Kitchen Nightmares on BBC. Its coming out soon on Fox. Anyone else ever see it?

Tonight's show was one of the better ones I've seen. I loved the part where Ramsey kicked the guy out of the kitchen. That guy could not cook to save his life. I'm glad hes sending the short order cook to school, she did phenomenally well.

yeah but i wish he didn't choose rock to stay. He's arrogant and screws up a lot. at least the other girl managed to improve, seems like he only picked him because he had experience

He did tell her to come back and she'd win hands down. She was the most down-to-earth one on there, and my wife sure was hoping she'd win.

It's interesting, her dishes were generally the most popular (not just at the school tonight).

I hate how Rock reviews to himself as "Rock". The DarkSider hates people who refer to themselves in the third person.

I can't stand the majority of reality TV but Hell's Kitchen is pretty entertaining in doses for me.

It sucks that Julia got the boot instead of Rock, but they've always used the whole "Waffle House" thing against her from day one. Frankly that show is very biased towards fancy, schmancy cuisine that people in California mostly go for. That's how I knew that one skinny guy was gonna win the final showdown in season one over the big New York guy...he was more "California" in how he ran his side of the place.

But, at least Chef Ramsey saw the potential in Julia, and is sending her to culinary school. So, at least a little justice was served. I doubt Rock's going anywhere soon, though, because the guys at Fox probably think he's good for ratings...that's how these reality shows work.

The Ditz vs The Third Person Speaker...who will win?

Honestly it seems a runaway for Rock although he seemed a bit slow on the hot plate last week. I'm not sure how Ramsey can give a kitchen to Bonnie who throws away fish for smelling like fish.

I was almost 100% sure it would boil down to Rock & Jen.
Boy, was I proven wrong
I'm anxious to find out who will win.

And by the way, the season finale won't be this Monday.
This coming Monday's episode will be the two chefs squaring off against one another.
The actual season finale will be August 13th.

Hey all you Hell's Kitchen fans...

Just wanted to drop a line to let you know that the Season 3 finale is tomorrow night!

Will it be Rock?
Or will it be Bonnie?

Who do you think will win tomorrow night?

I think Rock will take it.

Mr. DS · August 12, 2007, 11:01:53 AM

I thought the finale was going to be last week but found out it was a two parter. I guess we can look at it like this...

Rock has experience, determination and a good knowledge of fine dining. Although is weaknesses are his temper, he's perhaps too traditional (planning of the dining room), a bit slow on the hot plate.

Bonnie seems to have a wacky side to her planning and isn't afraid to be bold. That and she seems to know what tastes right. Still, and maybe this is all an act, she seems like queen of the valley girl ditzes.

Rock's crew for the challenge, aside from Brad, are all mediocre chefs based on prior performances. Bonnie at least has some talent.

I say Rock but we'll see Monday night.

Wow!
What a great season this has been on Hell's Kitchen!

yep, and now we can look forward to Kitchen Nightmares.

D-Man · August 15, 2007, 08:42:19 AM

I'm so glad Virginia boy Rock won. Out of the whole field he was easily the most qualified. I'm also relieved that they didn't pick Bonnie, who was the more California-friendly chef, the types who are usually more likely to win these things.

Sorry if I sound biased. My father, god rest his soul, lived in L.A during the 70's, and he'd always be telling me about how much he hated the place.
