Corey Can't Take the Heat in Hell's Kitchen Season 4 6/24/08

Petrozza and Christina Will Face Off
Next Week on the Finally of Hell's Kitchen Season 4
FOX Tuesday 9/8c 6/24/08

The three remaining contestants on Hell's Kitchen Season 4 (Christina, Corey and Petrozza), got rewarded for being the finalists tonight. Chef Gordon Ramsay let them eat lunch that he prepared with their family members.

Christina stayed in game mode, tasting and memorizing the dishes as she ate. Her mother even tried to advise her on a sauce ingredient (but did Christina listen to her mother, nooooo!)

Petrozza was in tears with his father and his girlfriend (not sure, but I think it was the father's girlfriend). He did not even notice the food.

Same with Corey, she had her boyfriend and mom visiting so she was busy chatting.

When the challenge was to recreate the dish, again it came down to Christina and Petrozza. Corey used the wrong meat... oops! Petrozza had no puree on his dish, and Christina did not use cream like her mother told her to do. In the end, Christina won her fourth (I think) consecutive individual challenge. Gordon Ramsay took her and her parents on a sightseeing and food tasting trip around LA.

Corey may have sealed her fate by not winning a single challenge in the end weeks, and having such a mild manner in the kitchen. I think she is a hard worker, but others will walk on her.

Watching the chef contestants yell at Chef Ramsay in practice for taking over the hot plate area was a riot. The girls were wholly uncomfortable, even as awkward as Ramsay tried to act he is still the 'sexy professor' type! Corey turned red trying to yell at him.

The Hell's Kitchen dinner service went well, all the contestants ran the point relatively well. Petrozza seemed the most in control during the chaos of a Christina meltdown on the fish station. Corey lost her place reading a ticket because an entree order was missing. None of the chef contestants seemed to be able to notice the small problems that were set up as stumbling blocks. Christina did the best, but it was an easy tasting issue.

Season 4 of Hell's Kitchen still seems to have the weakest crew yet. I hope Chef Ramsay can entrust a new kitchen to one of them. Remember the first season of Hell's Kitchen? I think the winner's name was Michael, that guy could cook with the greats! All of the contestants seemed to have a lot more experience. Maybe I'm just getting old!

So the two contestants going head to head next week in the finals of Hell's Kitchen Season 4 are:
Petrozza and Christina

Good Luck to both and see you next week in the Hell's Kitchen Finals!


Here are the videos, enjoy!
