The first challenge tests the timing and communication skills of both teams. Each team must prepare three dishes but only one person can be in the kitchen at a time. When his or her turn is up, the chef must tell the next chef what needs to be done in fifteen seconds. All signs pointed to blue winning, since there was a lot of talk about having set up everything perfectly for the next person. The red team had a lot of trouble since Matt was on the team and Christina and Corey thing they know everything. Both teams messed up but since blue had two dishes missing a sauce and the scallops were raw, red won.

The red team gets to enjoy the day learning how to surf with Gordon and Jean Phillippe on the beach and the blue team had to clean the outside of Hell’s Kitchen. For service, each team gets to design their own menu. The red team gets along extremely well and have no trouble agreeing on a menu. Over on the blue team, Jen is outspoken about her ideas and no one really fights her. Louross complains to the camera, as usual. Gordon kicks out the blue team’s menu and makes them come up with another one, sans quite a few of Jen’s ideas.
Screw Ups of the Night:
Petrozza. He and his station are so gross and messy, Gordon calls him out on it as harshly as if he’d served raw meat.
Matt. The pasta appetizer dish he cooks keeps coming back to the kitchen for being tasteless, too salty or completely undercooked.
Louross. He serves raw meat so badly, Gordon threatens to shut the kitchen down if he does it again. Louross’s table ends up walking out.
Jen. She gets majorly yelled at by Gordon for not cooking a soufflé all the way through.
Blue loses and Petrozza is named best of the worst. Good on you, Hen in a Pumpkin! He’s come so far.
Who should be nominated:
Louross because raw meat is still completely unforgiveable in my mind and he doesn’t speak up when he should.
Jen because she created a bad menu and her inability to work with a team causes a lot of friction and bad communication.
Who is nominated:
Louross and Jen. Gordon asks Petrozza who should be sent home and he chooses Louross. Gordon agrees, sends Louross home nicely and then puts Jen back on the red team and Matt back on the blue team. Not one person is happy about this change.
Next week, we check in on last year’s winner, Rock and Matt loses his mind. Seriously. It might end up with him being taken away in a straitjacket. I wouldn’t be surprised.
So what did you think about this episode? Did Louross deserve to go home? And who do you think will win? Hesitantly, I’m still saying Jen. It’ll probably be Corey, which is a shame since she drives me insane. I hate it when nasty, undeserving people win shows like this. But what do you think? Leave your TwoCents in the comments!
