Hell's Kitchen. Tonight
Chef Ramsay gave the final five their new jackets, put them all on one team, announced they would be performing their very first individual challenge and made them cook for an entire high-school cafeteria. And that was just before the first commercial break!
I cannot tell you how happy I was that Julia won the cafeteria challenge. Not only was her dish the most cafeteria-friendly but her victory ensured Bonnie's salad's loss. Did Bonnie really think the way to a kid's heart was with salad? Come on! I was also thrilled Julia won the trip to Vegas. She was definitely the most worthy of the trip. Jen, on the other hand let's just say she wouldn't have been my pick!
Back in the kitchen, Bonnie threw away the monkfish. You'd think she would've asked for a second opinion before throwing it in the garbage, but I did feel bad for her. This close to the finals, it can't be a good feeling to sabotage an entrée for the night. Although she did pick up speed with the beef Wellington - at least
someone finally got it right! And then, before I even had the chance to blink, Josh got kicked out and Julia started to cry. Rock and Bonnie started fighting, Rock and Jen started fighting, and Rock and Chef Ramsay started fighting. It looks like
everyone is cracking under the pressure - at the same time!
After all was said and done, Julia was the one sent home, although she is going to culinary school courtesy of Chef Ramsay. And it looks like she may have a future job offer from him as well - not too shabby! To be honest, that seems almost better than winning. At the very least, it's definitely better than whatever the next two to leave will get.
Until next week I'll be eagerly waiting to see Bonnie scream at Chef Ramsay. Looks like the next one will be even more intense, if you ever thought
that was possible.
