and Her Attitude Home From Hell's Kitchen
FOX 9/8c Tuesday 6/17/08
The final four contestants on Hell's Kitchen Season 4 were Jen, Christina, Corey and Petrozza. A rather motley crew for Gordon Ramsay's normally ultra high standards, but this is reality TV. My guess would be that many talented chefs have seen the tantrums and don't want to be the brunt. Though every kitchen in the world has at least one chef with the same temper as Chef Ramsay, and a better guess would be that they could not tolerate being out tantrumed by the best.
Christina continues to surprise as she managed to win yet another Reward Challenge and did not have to spend the day cleaning and setting the kitchen and dining room with the other contestants. As it comes down to it, Petrozza is trapped in a world of estrogen. He is the last man standing in the kitchen, which is not the place to be if you are faint of heart. Thus far, he has befriended all and made very few mistakes in the dinner services. Petrozza has got to be the front runner for the Executive Chef position in Gordon Ramsay's newest restaurant. His biggest drawback is his utter 'piggy-ness' in the kitchen. Tonight he proved that even this poor trait can be overlooked if your skills are above par.
The final four contestants had the best dinner service of the season tonight. Finishing the service in record time, with only a few glitches and rants from Chef Ramsay. No one gave up or was overcome with emotion (though Corey had me worried a few times).
Christina placed a hot handled pan up for Chef Ramsay without warning him and burned his palm enough to force him to run cold water on it. He screamed at her to warn a person when the pan handle has been over a burner so no one gets injured. Christina promised not to let it happen again. Then did the exact same thing again, really causing a fit from Chef Ramsay. He accused her of intentionally burning him as he again ran his burned palm under cold water. To illustrate how hot the pan handle was, Gordon poured water on the handle which sizzled and steamed immediately.
Jen was on appetizers and doing a fairly good job. Her first few dishes were great, then the inconsistencies started. Inconsistency is the bane of the 5 star kitchen. Jen got her act together and regained control of her food quickly, but when help was called for she would have nothing to do with it. Chef Ramsay took notice of the fact that Corey was begging for help and Christina was the only one to jump in. Jen stood and told them she was busy stirring rizotto and refused to help.
After the successful dinner service, Chef Ramsay actually gave the team a high-five. He told them he was very impressed, but someone still had to leave. They were sent to the dorms to decide between themselves who the two nominees would be. The contestants decided to vote for who the two would be, but Jen cheated and voted for Christina twice.
It came down to Jen and Corey as the nominees to face Chef Ramsay. After not much time at all, Gordon chose to eliminate Jen from Hell's Kitchen with a heartfelt good-bye. He told her to keep cooking and learning, it was definitely her teamwork skills that did her in. I don't think Jen was anywhere near the chef that some of the other contestants were, but he gave her the opportunity to go further for the experience since there can only be one winner anyway.
I still think that the winner, hands down, will be Petrozza. Though the previews for next week's Hell's Kitchen show him going nuts with anger when put in charge of the kitchen. Not sure if it is a problem for him or if Chef Ramsay will appreciate his stepping up to be the boss.
See you next week in Hell's Kitchen!
Here are the videos, enjoy!
