I don't find him very likable. I would much rather root for the incompetent nanny. But like I said, wasn't really surprised, Rock was the best person for the job.

I know she was hurt she wasn't in the final two but dang...be happy for both ppl that made it. It's not like she's walking away empty handed. It wasn't that much of a shock that Rock won the competition. I think it was based more on his "leadership" abilities.

By the last episode, I was absolutely sure that Bonnie had never worked in a kitchen before: it was clear that she did very little with portion control and I doubt that she knew how many plates of what she would be serving. In a kitchen, not doing that is suicide and even with decent estimates sometimes you run out of things. Poor Julia, as Rock had surmised, was not at her best, appearing somewhat churlish throughout the service. I felt bad for her, but worse for Bonnie who was depending on her. I was pleased at how the restaurant designs came out. They were slightly different from what each had suggested, but both seemed happy with them. I never did get a chance to see the women servers in their tight pants that Bonnie had suggested:) Rock's vision of his restaurant last week was black and white: his side looked anything BUT black and white. Bonnie's side got some rugs under the tables leaving just a small part of bare floor. It would seem like the architects and builders helped finish each side to surmount the obstacles. The only bad thing that happened, on the women's side, was that we discovered that Melissa has forgotten how to cook shrimp; early on in prep, she was overcooking them and then during service one dish was sent back for being undercooked. It's difficult to believe that someone at this level has trouble cooking shrimp. On the men�s side, poor Josh made a shambles out of the fish station. I have no idea what was going on in his head, but he seemed to be completely inept even after several tries. Rock wasn�t hard on him and gave him several chances, so draw your own conclusions as to his cooking skills. When Vinnie replaced Josh at the fish station, Vinnie sounded like he had never cooked at a fish station before, but, to his credit, he seemed to do well. We didn't get a chance to see the customer comment cards, but Rock didn't have anything sent back while Bonnie did. In addition, Bonnie failed at portion control and allocation of materials. She ran out of fettuccine and then out of shrimp: a restaurant will go broke if you don't know how many plates of what you are serving and how much each costs. I was glad Rock won as he was clearly better at running a restaurant. It's just too bad he has to live in Las Vegas now. I wish him well.

For Bonnie to go as far as she did and do as well as she did just goes to show that she will have a great future in the business. Some of those dishes made me really hungry lol

I'd be jumping up and down for joy because of the gift Chef gave her sending her to cooking School. Josh also appeared to be a disaster. Was very happy to see Rock win. As I think back over the season, it doesn't come as a surprise. I think Rock was the predestined winner this year, just as Heather was last year. I am looking forward to the Ramsay's new show in the fall. See ya all next year.

I really like him and feel he is the most DESERVING (yes I know this is a dirty word around here) candidate. Bonnie will land on her worthless feel somewhere, I'm not worried about her. Julia disappointed me again with her jealous behavior...as if she had a CHANCE of being F2! Not with Jen between her and the final boot.

Kira Posts: 286 Group: Member Member #327 Joined: August 17, 2005	Yeah I was really pulling for Julia to win in the beginning but after last night...what a witch! Not listening to her chef and stuff...I'm surprised that Chef didn't yell at her himself after giving her that GREAT opportunity to come to his school! She's stupid...and I don't like her anymore! I did like Bonnie but I knew after last night's service that she wasn't going to win...I do however, still think that she is a good cook and will end up somewhere good! Rock...didn't like him at all...he was a jerk throughout the whole competition besides last night...he was being nice...but HE'S A JERK! That's all I gots to say...hahaha! Until next season! Peace Out

What show is that chairo? I've seen him remaking some resturants...can't think of the name of the show. It's decent.
