I missed last episode so I don’t know how bad it got, but being that the prison cook left I can only imagine.

So we start another predictable show where we left off last week. They are heading back up to the room and there’s some incredulity that Virginia is STILL there. Some whining and bitching by Keith (aka Baby Huey) who now is referring to himself in the third person as “K-Grease”. Yeah, you heard that right and Heather, being the instigator that she is, refers to him as his new street name too. :rolleyes:

The next morning the cooks line up to hear about the days challenge. Chef tells them they will all be managing their own restaurants. Now these fools get stars in their eyes because they all actually believe that this is what’s going to happen. Keith has visions of La Cirque dancing in his eyes, but those of us at home not so new to the reality game know they will end up managing the neighborhood McDonalds or something of the same ilk. :laugh The winner gets immunity from tonight’s eviction.

They are all handed blindfolds and put in a limo to be whisked off to their restaurant for a day. Sure enough, it’s not The Ivy, but four lunch trucks lined up outside of a construction site. Some of them actually look excited because this is Plan B in case the whole real chef thing doesn’t work out. :oooo

Ramsey tells them they will be cooking lunch for 100 construction workers and they will be judging this competition. They have 30 minutes to make a lunch. Keith is making lobster salad (), Heather is making chicken sandwiches with French fries and tells us later she put alcohol in the onions. (All I can think is she’s an amateur. Virginia is making some seafood concoction and Sarah is making brochette and some other unappetizing crap that these construction workers will have no use for. We get sound bytes from our chefs about how bad they need the immunity this evening.

Ramsey blows the whistle (literally and the construction workers come on down and line up at the trucks. The chefs all have different tactics to get the workers to like them. Sarah speaks Spanish so she’s talking crap about Ramsey to the workers; Keith is working the “homey” angle, Heather is offering more fries, and Virginia is alluding to her as dessert to all 100 construction workers. Okay, that was slightly exaggerated, but to hear the others tell it, that’s exactly what she did. She was basically flirting with them and being that she’s not bad to look at and has skills in the kitchen, it’s enough. ;) The lunch hour is over and Ramsey tells the chefs he’ll reveal the winner back at Hell’s Kitchen.

As the chefs line up, Ramsey tells them he will reveal the best and the worst as voted by the workers. He starts with the worst and it’s Heather. We hear a sound byte of her telling us how upset she is by this and it’s clearly taken later because she’s all choked up but she seems to be maintaining her composure. After the break, we learn an overwhelming 50% of the sex-starved construction workers voted for…Virginia!! Now who was really surprised? K-Grease was. He was surprised and disgusted! Idiot Girl (my new pet name for Virginia) asks him if it’s a joke. Chef R looks thoroughly disgusted by this rambling of Virginia’s. He tells her that she won the competition as voted by the construction workers, not him (clearly he wouldn’t have voted for her) and she not only wins immunity, but she gets to go shopping. Again, Virginia rubs the win in her co-contestants face.

K-Grease, Heather and Sarah get to stay behind and shuck some crab! As they head upstairs to change they are all grumbling about the unfairness of it all. How it’s not fair that she keeps winning and she’s only getting by on her looks. Virginia of course continues to rub it in by being overjoyed by the idea of a shopping spree.

Virginia and Ramsey go to some fancy kitchen stuff store. I don’t cook, I don’t like to cook and I have no idea what some of the crap was that they were looking at. However, we’re talking about Virginia so she did get things like a pink spatula and a red gingham apron that said “kiss the cook” that made Ramsey roll his eyes. In an attempt to make nice with Chef Loudmouth, she asks him where his cookbook was in the store and it ended up being right in front of her. When he went to autograph it for her she implores him to say something nice. :S

Meanwhile back at the kitchen, the bitching continues. Sarah is the most pissed but they are all doing their fair share of venting. About this time Virginia arrives with bags galore. She’s all giddy and tells them she got them all gifts. For Sarah, she gets a cow creamer. It’s a joke because Chef R. calls her a cow all the time. Needless to say, Sarah is not amused (but, I am. For Heather she got her a glove that you can use as a potholder or scolding hot water and you won’t get burned. Keith is threatening her that she better have gotten him something really nice. She pulls out some crab crunchers (I have no idea what they’re really called, but he’s been using them all day.) and he’s not amused. Is pissed that she only spent $6.95 out of $1000 for him. Reminds her of Las Vegas. Virginia is upset because the others won’t celebrate her win with her and goes upstairs to pout alone in bed.

The next day’s dinner service, Ramsey tells them they will be serving three pro chefs as part of tonight’s dinner service. The usual in Chef’s kitchen is that the kitchen decides what they will serve visiting chefs. The night starts out very well and appetizers are flying out of the kitchen thanks to Keith. They are starting on the entrées when the guest chefs arrive and Ramsey asks the chefs what they will be serving.

Keith will serve his seafood spaghetti, Heather is serving Wellington, and Sarah is serving some kind of fish. I don’t like fish so I block it. At this point, things start to go downhill. Keith doesn’t cook his spaghetti all the way and tries to fake it by throwing it back in the water before serving it. It comes back from the guests table with complaints.

Sarah screws up the seafood and tries to tell Chef R. there is only a few left and he explodes. She starts to back-talk him and all she keeps saying is “Yes, Chef” even when he’s not asking her a question. It’s pretty funny. Virginia did the same thing earlier. Speaking of Virginia, Heather has her Wellingtons perfectly done and ready to go and Sarah is looking a little lost in her section (vegetables). So Chef R. goes over to help motivate her more in that special way he has of screaming, belittling and name calling so the entire restaurant hears. It doesn’t seem to be working because she’s getting more flustered.

Sarah is over in her section screwing something up so he has to go and yell at her a little bit too. Heather is flying around the kitchen like she was possessed by Julia Childs in her younger years and Keith is standing around looking more and more like Chris Penn’s love child every second. Ramsey now screams at Virginia and tells her she’s now back on the block with the rest of them.

They finish dinner service but Chef lets them know it’s because of Heather’s superb efforts. He tells her to pick two for elimination.

Upstairs in the dorm, she confronts Virginia about what she intends to do and Virginia tells her through her tears that she is going to eliminate herself because how could she possibly run her own kitchen when she can’t even handle the vegetable station. Heather is satisfied and feels like she’s got an easy out runs to the backyard to tell Sarah and Keith.

When she informs Sarah she’s placing her on the block alongside Virginia, Sarah has the audacity to ask why. :O Heather weasels her way out by saying over and over that Virginia is taking herself out of the game. Sarah is not comfortable with the idea and for good reason.

At elimination Sarah gives her “I’m a hard worker so I should stay” speech. Virginia, on the other hand, starts blubbering about not being ready to run her own kitchen. Boo-hoo-hoo. Ramsey tells her that she’s still safe because he’s a man of his word so she can either leave like she wants or she can send Sarah home. Virginia hems and haws a little bit and Chef asks her to come back to him with an answer. Sarah tries to tell him she’s already made up her mind, but Ramsey tells her to shut her fat mouth for once.

At this point, if you can’t figure out what happens, you haven’t seen the whole season. Karma makes it’s way into the restaurant and cracks Sarah right upside the head just as Virginia yells “Hell Yes, I’m staying!” Keith and Heather actually look pleasantly surprised.

Sarah tells Chef Ramsey in a playful way to kiss her grits before she leaves the kitchen. He tells us that Ms. Sarah just wasn’t ready for the kitchen. The blubbering Sarah ends the show by telling us she just wasn’t meant for big things or something. I dislike her and this show so much, I just don’t care anymore. :zzz
