Watching the promo for the prize thing where it says you can win a trip to the resort and "dinner prepared by the winner of Hell's Kitchen", I said to my wife...would you really want one of these buffoons to cook you dinner?
I think Rock wins.
The other women have a point about Julia's lack of experience with fine dining and I think ultimately that will keep her from winning, but it did not even come close to warranting her nomination last night. Her common sense saved someone from eating spaghetti from the garbage. She is a hustler and would make a good assistant to the winner in order to have time to learn the ins and outs of haute cuisine before ultimately running a restaurant.
None of these "chefs" has showed me much. Rock seems to do fairly well with food preparation, got a compliment on the pistachio risotto from chef blowyourstack last night.
Josh is a clown, no shot. Vinnie is gonna mouth off soon and be gone (anyone notice when Ramses the Loud shoved the egg into his chest, he had no goatee, but on the subsequent "confessional" clip he did. Makes me wonder a lot about the editing of this show, I think its a lot less "real" than it appears.)
Brad fouled up as the team "leader" last night.
So I think Rock is the top player of the men.
On the women's side, as I mentioned Julia will do well only to a point, and her inexperience will be her undoing. Jen is a goner after the "bin" incident. Just a matter of time. Bonnie seems too clueless at times, which leaves Melissa, who has been decent thus far, and Ramses the Lecherous likes her cause she's reasonably hot, so I think she emerges from the red team.
In the end I think its Melissa vs Rock and Rock wins.
And what was Aaron's "serious illness" that Ramses the Concerned mentioned? Inquiring minds want to know.
