Let's Dish: Hell's Kitchen 4.7

May 14, 2008

Wasn't last night's episode of Hell's Kitchen surprisingly entertaining in a good way? The wannabe chefs were challenged to a blind palette test where they had to identify certain ingredients based on taste alone. Working with the girl's team, Matt finally felt at ease and relaxed into his role as line cook in Hell's Kitchen. To chat about this and everything else that happened, read more.

If you were a member of the red team, how would you feel if a male joined your all female group?
Didn't Matt look hysterical in his bath robe at the patio spa?
Was Jen being too sensitive after Ramsay yelled at her?
Is it hard for you to work as a team?
Is anyone else starting to think that Rosann can NOT cook?
Were you shocked when Petrozza put himself up for elimination?
Which girl should become a member of the boys team?

Here are my top three Gordon Ramsay quotes:

On Bobby's role in the kitchen: You cant just keep looking after yourself. You have to f***ing talk. Unbelievable. Hurry up Louross!
To Ben: You are so f***ing sad. Every time i ask you something you give me the limped answer. You are one of the most f***ing saddest people in my kitchen. What is this Dr. Phil?
On Christina's reaction to his compliment: F*** the thank you! Just concentrate we still have 20 left to go. Don't start peeing in your knickers!

Besides Ramsay, the contestants had some hilarious one liners. Can you guess who said these things?

On Ramsay using fake meat to make the classic taste test dishes: He must have got it from a damn good vegetarian store.
On the fake meat in the beef stew: For a second there I thought it was cat because it was really stringy.
On Ramsay changed behavior: Now, I guess he is on his period today.
On his role in the kitchen: Usually I have people cleaning up after me

If you were a member of the red team, how would you feel if a male joined your all female group? I think I would be annoyed at my team being put in the middle of a petty little spat between the other team, but other than that... I wouldn't care. Was Jen being too sensitive after Ramsay yelled at her? I think Jen was used to being praised all this time, so I just think it was a special blow to her ego. If she had been yelled at as often as some of the others all this time, she probably would've gotten over it more quickly. Is anyone else starting to think that Rosann can NOT cook? Yes. What is her deal? I like that she can keep her cool, but you can't just keep on screwing up half your dishes like that. Which girl should become a member of the boys team? Corey, maybe. That girl is so obnoxious.

i love when cooking shows do the blind tastings...i think that it shows who really has something to back up their 'talk'.i also like that matty is doing better and gaining confidence now that he's on the other team. we'll hve to see how long that lasts for.

I forgot the quotes! The first one was Ben, the second was Matt, the third, Jen, and the last one was Petrozza.

The Hell's Kitchen contestents are terrible this season, they aren't always this bad.There is not one person among them that can be an executive chef for Ramsey, let alone even work in his kitchen.

I feel like Hell's Kitchen contestants aren't in the same level as the Top Chef contestants. It looks like the Hell's Kitchen contestants can't even boil water correctly.

I wasn't a big fan of Ben, so to me that was not a big loss. I just don't see how Matt has made it this far. It amazes me each show that he gets to stay.

Only saw part of the show last night. Going to have to watch the whole thing online tonight. But I did see Ben sass Chef Ramsay and get tossed. I was really surprised. I thought he was the guy on the male team!

I am SO excited Ben's GONE! I wanted to like him, I really did.

1. I think I'd be pretty pissed if a member of a dysfunctional team joined mine. It probably wouldn't matter that the member who joined my team wasn't as dysfunctional as everyone else on that team - it's just the principle. 2. He did, but so did everyone else. 3. Finally, Gordon got Jen to shut the heck up. I have been waiting for freaking *ever*! She's been strong in the kitchen for quite some time now, which means she's gotten soft and can't handle criticism. Boo freaking hoo. 4. It's not hard for me to work *on* a team, but I can't work *as* a team... That takes the whole "Army of One" slogan a bit too far. 5. I'm not starting to think that - it's been echoing in my head for the last three weeks. 6. I have to say I was. After all of the ding-a-lings (thanks, Petrozza!) we've been watching this season, I was honestly surprised to see some solid behavior out of either side of the kitchen. He's a gentleman, and I respect that. 7. Any one of them will be hilarious, but from the previews of next week, I think it looked like Jen. Again, though, with the TC / HK mixups. Top Chef had themselves a mise-en-place relay race last week, and Hell's Kitchen had the blind tastings? Did they swap writers? I've really gotten bad at picking 'em this season. I was thinking Corey was smart and savvy, but she turned out to be a backstabber with no pattern recognition. Then I backed Vanessa, but she dropped out. Two weeks ago, I thought Ben was the man, but he's done. Second week in a row I think Petrozza's got what it takes, but I'm thinking I'm the black widow over here - maybe I should start rooting for the ones I actively dislike, like Christina or Jen. And the quotations? Sounds like Ben, Matt, Jen, and Petrozza. I can't fully remember.
