S23.E9: Lonely in the Kitchen

[KeithJ]

Quote

The chefs are challenged with starting their own individual dishes before leaving the kitchen one-by-one; it is up to the remaining lonely chefs to complete their own dishes and also their fellow contestant's dishes using only verbal cues.

Ann Marie coming in to people saying “oh fuck” (and Joe confused bout the entire process) was high comedy.

Good call, Brandon.

[Tango64]

Dramatic pause, music stops, everyone waiting for the twist when Ramsay calls her back….

”You have to push the door.”

Hilarious!

I would not have climbed to the top of that building (shudders...).  That was a nice reward though-especially the sunset cruise component.  I don't blame Brandon for choosing to go and I would imagine the women were happy to have him there instead of Ann Marie.

The shock! when she returned and not Anthony.  That was worth the whole episode.

Hannah is more of a contender that I originally thought.  And, it was time for Lulu to go.

Oh, and the only former contestant I recognized at that returnees' table was Declan.  Yeah, they didn't need to rag on the chefs that much because they all lost their seasons...

[mojoween]

Hannah is good, and she knows it, and that bugs.

i only recognized declan too, from his accent.

lulu standing at the exit door is me in front of a copier, trying to decipher what the 'jammed' message means and how to fix it :)

I am glad to see the back of lulu.  I had really come to dislike her, especially since last week when she pushed her dish forward instead of Egypt's and then she didn't even get a point.

Egypt was so hesitant to even name Kyle as a potential candidate for elimination and he made it clear that it was the first time Kyle had done anything wrong.

[Colorado David]

kyle is way forward in his personality, but he's likable...like a hobbit.

i didn't get lulu pushing egypt's times, he's running appetizers, doesn't the appetizers station basically rule the timing? veggies are less forgiving than the protein stations.

Shudder indeed.  I looked away when they showed the views looking down.  When I've gone with family to places like the Sears Tower where people can walk out on those glass floors high above the city, I'm the person with her back against the opposite wall.  That got me wondering if the contestants can refuse to participate in "rewards" like that.  It seems like there might be some liability issues if someone was made to do something they feared.

I was vey happy to see the last of Lulu.  I can't imagine her being in charge of anything.

I think the reason why they weren't happy that Ann Marie survived was because they loved Anthony so much. Lulu was obnoxious tonight and messed up so I am okay with her going.

Joe is getting more solid nowadays.

Those Edge challenges are mighty expensive. I went up Toronto's CN Tower ten years ago and they charged $140 back then. No, I did not participate! I'm not crazy about heights. This was, for once, a *really nice* award and I don't blame Brandon for wanting in. Too bad, Ann Marie. I was happy she was so annoying to the Blue Team. 

Stop crying, Kyle! Grow up!

Shut up, Lulu! Your cooking has deteriorated over the show and everyone has noticed.

The steps looked absolutely terrifying, I don't think I would have been able to make it up those without my legs turning to jelly from the fear. I would hope that they have the option to say no to parts of the rewards if they're genuinely afraid. 

I was so glad to see Lulu go, she's never meshed with the blue team since she got there and she's vocal, but not in a helpful/team player way. The door thing was hilarious, I was pretty sure she just didn't realize the doors were manual, but it went on so long that I started to think something was up. That's an embarrassing exit. 

Ann Marie's number has got to be coming up soon, she's just way too frenetic to be in charge of anything and always seems to be just barely getting by.

Although he seems to be fairly competent, I really don't care for Brandon. His confessionals are so snide and he's so full of himself. 

[Yeah No]

I couldn't believe they all did that Edge challenge and no one freaked out. I don't think I would have done that even when I was younger. 20 years ago in Las Vegas I could have done something similar but had no interest. 

Eh, Lulu was like a square peg in a round hole on the Blue team. Brandon just irks me all around and I'm really starting not to like Kyle either. "Grow up" - EXACTLY!!

Joe seems solid and he's gotten a golden edit so far but the previews for next week have me worried for him. I think I'd be upset if he went home and Ann Marie was still there. Sometimes I think it's just us complaining that someone should have gone home by now but when the other chefs start complaining that they have "9 lives" you I know it has to be BAD.
