"Terrible"

By zanybooks, Jul 18, 2007 Report Abuse

Professional Wrestling is less scripted. Each successive episode had owed to reality and more to some committee's guess as to what will play well on TV. For the second week in a row, Melissa's actions are out of character. A gifted chef in all previous episodes, abruptly she's lost it. Prediction: next week Jan will act out of character.

Ramsey's arbitrary breaking of a tie offends my sense of fair play. Frankly, I feel cheated. I thought this was a competition--but it's not. I'll give it another week to get real and then I'm gone. I'd rather watch reruns of the Iron Chef.moreless

ha ha goatee, that thing bugged me too. I'm also glad she is gone and I think I sort of have my favorites.

"Perfect"

One of my favorites is Rock, he is cool and seems to know what he is doing, plus he doesn't take crap, and I don't blame him for being pissed last week, since they other team barely won that was BS that they had such a horrible punishment when they barely lost, and it was worse that the chef made it worse by making him come over there. I would have beaten him down if I were rock, but I'm glad he held his temper, so he didn't get kicked out. I also like the chick who worked at waffle house, maybe it's just her personality but I liker her and think she can become a decent chef as she has beaten out people with more experience than her already. Those are my main two right now at least but we will see I guess.moreless

No matter how many chances Ramsey gave her, she dug her own grave, and with good riddens as well.

It was funny as usual, when Ramsey is ranting and raving and shuts the kitchen down yet again. I mean I watched season 2, and I dont remember him shutting a kitchen down at all. Now this season, he has shut the men down 6 out of 7 times. The short order cook is on a roll, however, this week she had a little hickup. I mean as the weeks roll on and she continues to learn and gain respect from Ramsey. Its only a matter of time before the dynamic blonde duo boot her out. I think it will come down to the Pastry Chef and Rock.moreless

Disappointed!

"Fair"

By skinny0ne, Jul 11, 2007 Report Abuse

I'm sorry, I hated this episode. They hyped it up (as Fox does) with the "I'm not done yet" quote from Ramsay. When he did that and pulled Josh and Brad back out I was so wanting Josh to go. He has to go! Then to just yell at them and send them back in line was ridiculous. What the hell was the point of that? Apparently he was done. I just hate the bait and switch. Give a real twist. Not an invented fake twist.

Finally, so glad that Melissa did go home. She totally imploded. Too much attitude, not enough cooking. She shut down under the pressure and was toast 3 weeks ago.

Overall, a good episode that was ruined by the hype and clips and fake surprise ending.moreless

Ok, Melissa didnt have a full blown beard but did sport a tiny bit of facial hair under he lower lip. Bonnie almost burned down the kitchen but the women won any way -I guess she never knew you should toss a lid on top of burning pan then run - not run around with a flaming pan like a chicken with its head cut off. They overcooked the fish but won anyway. Both teams started out good but flopped in the end. Rock was the only one half way decent as usual. Just tell him he won and be done with it.

Rock did wig out when as a penalty for losing the lobster cook off he and the Blues had to sort trash. But that seemed forced and more like acting than genuine emotion.

Ramsay once again gave 2 of the guys second chances despite a horrible dinner service. He just did this so the show wouldnt end early. It was a fairly good episode with some FIRE, the usualy ranting and raving by Ramsay as he nearly pulled out his hair - and Melissa the bearded lady getting the axe.moreless

- Bonnie: Whenever you line up in front of Chef Ramsay, there's always nerves, because you never know what's going to happen. He was standing next to something that looked like a piano that was covered up, and I was going, 'What's going on, are we going to have to sing about food?' Edit

  The three girls were arranged in sexy poses around Chef Ramsay, which created a look reminiscent of the hit '70s TV show Charlie's Angels.
