In Scott's case at least, I don't think it's that he wouldn't want to invite *a* woman so much as he just wouldn't want to invite one of the three women that were there. He sure as hell wouldn't want to bring Joy, considering she tried to get him thrown out instead of Kashia at every opportunity, and aside from the previous episode he's never been on the same team as Melanie or Rochelle (and Melanie's habit of trash-talking and downplaying the men probably won't have endeared her to him either), so he probably just brought Jason along since he was the contestant he knew and got along with the best.

That's actually the worst part of Joy's decision to quit. Had she screwed up so badly in the final two episodes that there was no way Ramsay could have justified having her win, chances are he'd have still found a job for her somewhere in one of his restaurants, like he did last year after Jon did well for most of the season, but did a spectacularly awful job running the pass in the second-last episode. Joy's actions last night will have pretty much destroyed any chance of anything similar happening to her.

If nothing else, at least this season won't be ending in the predictable victory for Joy that it seemed to have been sleepwalking towards. Funny to think that only a few weeks ago the final was looking near-certain to be Joy vs. Anton. Of the remaining contestants, Rochelle deserves the win based purely on personality, but in terms of skill Jason seems to be the best of the remaining cooks. Melanie seems to be gradually unravelling, and Scott's performance this episode is probably going to be too little, too late.
