HELL'S KITCHEN, *FINALE TONIGHT* May 14, 2009 9pm Fox

[etoiles]

Did Chef not even bother tasting his dish last night?

Ramsey did taste Ben's dish but eliminated it immediately because he only used the tail of the prawn to 'make it look pretty' and Ramsey was like... where is the real meat????

I was hoping he would take back Andrea's immunity and kick her butt out the door as well. She would have really deserved it.

Looks like next week there will be lots of drama like usual!

 

[PatsMom]

I was hoping that Andrea would lose her immunity. She is aggravating. I was sorry to see Robert leave. Overall it was a decent episode. Worth staying up late to watch!

I didn't get why Ben would put just the tail on a plate to make it look pretty? I wouldn't have tasted his dish either - it would have become a failure immediately for me as well.

I think I am starting to hope that Paula wins.

 

[Nancyg56]

WOW! What a week! I really hated to see Robert go home, I liked him a lot. The rest of the episode was strange, you knew Ramsey was going to keep them all because he gave Andrea immunity, but Holy Moly! The woman cannot function in a hot kitchen! Neither can Ben, both can cook but once either one is under pressure each collapse. I think it is going to be Paula and Danny, more now than ever.

 

[PatsMom]

Paula and Danny are still hanging in there. Ben definitely was not happy to be the one told to leave. Andrea is as annoying as ever - hope she goes next. It was a decent episode.

Danny reminds me of the first guy that won season one. I think he has a good chance of winning. But you never know. I couldn't believe who won last year..... Thought she would have been long gone and she ends up winning all.

I thought the proposal was pretty funny, the girl took such a long pause I thought for sure she was going to say no. Or like some one said lose the ring since he put it in his pocket.

Meh. I don't like anyone who is left. Geo was my favorite and I missed the episode where he got kicked off. As much as Ben annoys me the most, I think that Andrea should have gone home on last night's performance. She messed up big time in not counting the Wellies correctly and making those diners wait an extra 15 minutes for their food. Ben just messed up seasoning a risotto and I never did figure out what was wrong with the salad. That it HAD crutons or that it DIDN'T have crutons . Anyway, both of which were pretty minor and didn't impact the guest's dining experience like waiting for a huge chunk of raw meat to prepare and cook.

Ben screwed up the salad by putting croutons in it plus asking if the green salad need tuna ? or was that chicken in it for a vegetarin. He got yelled at for the spagetti too , he was suppose to put it in and didn't and then the Paula was off.

He asked if he should still put the tuna in. Honestly, I could see him asking that because I have vegetarian friends who eat fish.

The final two better be Paula (I hope I have her name right) and Danny. Danny sure has come a long way since the beginning. But I wanted Geo to win.

 

[bouncycat]

I'm rooting for Danny, and am glad Ben is gone. Danny is from where I grew up, so always root for the hometown guy, right? Even tho Paula is pretty good.

 

[Nancyg56]

I want Danny to win as well but I also like Paula. Ben just annoys me and Andrea is a ditz. Ben and his "lead the troops" malarkey make me laugh...he panics each week, how can he lead his staff to manage their time and their productivity if he is always in a tizzy?

 

[Nancyg56]

I just wanted to ad my own observation. These guys can cook, that is obvious. I am not sure any of them are Chefs. I can cook. I can follow instructions. I am not able to "direct" a hot kitchen, place orders for that kitchen, manage a staff and always be three steps ahead of any crisis in the kitchen. I don't think any of this crew has all the traits or the experience to lead up a large fast paced kitchen.

 

[minniecarousel]

I haven't watched every episode of every season, but this group seems the least-ready to lead a kitchen. I'd hate for any of them to be the head chef at an exclusive restaurant. It's like the whole lot of them weren't properly screened before signing on.

I agree!

I thought for sure Giovanni would have been the one to make it the farthest, so I was completely blown away when he had to leave.

I'm sure with the editing we're seeing the worst mistakes and probably not what they're doing really well.

 

[teacups]

I disagree. I think they are young... but have the makings of what it takes. The winner wont be thrown in I imagine. Chef Ramsey isnt stupid. He isnt going to lose money. They'll go thru extensive training first I bet. Just wanted to add that I'v been predicting Paula and Danny as the last two since early on! I'm excited that I was right! I cant figure out of the two who will win though.... I like them both and suppose I root for Danny a little bit more since he's sort of a hick.

 

[racetrack18kb]

I missed tonight's show. Can anybody give me a quick rundown of what happened?

 

[NAB]

The three had to cook a sample meal for 100 chefs, many being exective ones and owners of resturants in L.A. Paula won the challenge with 76% liking her dish but they said 76% hated Danny's fish dish.

She got pampered, a hair colouring, waxing etc. then got to do a morning show(not sure which one it was) This was at Christmas time because it had a Christmas tree on set....

The other two had to iron and set up for the next night. They got to watch Paula on TV while cleaning .

They all got a chance to run the pass. Paula was every nervous didn't catch some problems. As did Danny, his voice cracked...Andrea was like chef and gave everyone a hard time including the souse chef that helps out..can't remember his name. He wanted to kill her.

They had a good service though. Each one had to vote for someone to go...Danny voted Andrea , Andrea ...Danny. Paula ...Andrea.

Andrea went home. But chef was nice to her....they showed flash backs of Andrea.

Next week they go to Alantic City. They also get to design there restuarant. Danny wanted to put up a mounted fish....the designer face was priceless.

 

[racetrack18kb]

Thank you so much.

Glad to see Andrea go even though she's from around here.

 

[amid chaos]

If Andrea treated her sous chef and line cooks like that in a real kitchen she would be the only one in the kitchen. There is NO WAY her cooks would put up with that.

 

[mlynn]

I'm so glad that whiney one went home.She drove me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Seh reminded me of the old SNL skit Doug and Wendy Whiner!
I really like Paula and I hope she wins the whole thing. Her and Jon Philip looked cute together.

Yes that was pretty funny with Jon Philip, I forgot to mention that he took Paula to the salon. He looked like a love lost puppy in the car.

The three also got to see there families for 10 mins. but I missed the beginning so I missed that part just heard Danny say it was for that long.

I think Paula is going to win.
