HK5: Day Nine

Season 5, Episode 9, Aired 4/2/09

Episode Summary

Each team member is asked to create a dish using King Crab, but only one dish can be selected to represent them in front of Chef Ramsay. Ramsay, however, finds himself unimpressed by both dishes presented to him and ends up basing his judgment on two other dishes. The winning team is rewarded with a lobster lunch and day at the beach, while the losing team is subjected to cleaning out the dorms and prepping crab for the next day's dinner service. Both teams are given the opportunity to create their own menu for service and both end up creating similar menus. Botch also botch the service, causing Chef Ramsay to shut things down before a full service can be completed. He asks one chef from the losing team to nominate another for elimination, but then surprises everyone by eliminating a chef that was not on the losing team.moreless

finally they got rid of carol she's obviously not a very good cook i don't undestand how she made it this far when she messed up as bad as she has. the only reason they kept her was for ratings cuz her and andrea loved to fight. and its also stupid cuz robert and ben are gonna be fired in the next ep and ramsey is gonna choose the finalist. i think hells kitchen is gonna be over after this i don't see it airing next year if their ending it like this. why bother sending people to elimination when you already knew you were gonna eliminate carol and why do rob and ben get eliminated in the next ep its stupid they should of been eliminated this ep. Funny how ramsey noticed ben was trying to mess rob up but he didn't notice this in the firsat seasons finale when the guy who won sabotages the blonde girl.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- This is the first time in Hell's Kitchen that someone from the winning team was sent home. Edit
- Extra Helping: In a feature shown during a commercial break, Chef Ramsay was asked which contestant he wouldn't like to be stuck on a desert island with. A clip of Aaron from the third season, crying, was shown and Ramsay replied "Stuck with Aaron, he'd make me cry."
  Edit
- Rewards Challenge: Chef Ramsay challenged the remaining chefs to each to create a King Crab dish. They were given thirty minutes to all create a dish and then both teams had to choose just one dish out of their three to present to Chef Ramsay. Reward: after both Ben and Andrea's dishes were rejected by Chef Ramsay, Danny's dish won against Paula's. For winning, the Blue Team enjoyed a day at the beach in Santa Monica with Chef Ramsay. They enjoyed a lunch of lobster and also got to ride on segways, though Robert was unable to ride due to the weight limit. Punishment: The Red Team was required to fully spring clean the dorms and then cook and clean all of the crabs for the next day's dinner service. Edit

- Carol: I think Andrea and I both came into this competition with the same mentality- that both of our **** didn't stink. I think mine is starting to get a little stinky and she still thinks hers smells like peaches. Edit
- Chef Ramsay: Carol knew she was out of her depth in Hell's Kitchen. I just put her out of her misery. Edit
- Chef Ramsay: (to Carol) You didn't even make a comeback. After the dauphinois and the potatoes were screwed, you gave up. Thank you. Good night. Edit
