Some seasons I like more than others, but they are all interesting in their own way I can play them over and over while I work. These past two seasons, what can I say? They're so boring. It's hard to tell who's who, they don't really do anything interesting but mess up orders, I dunno... I used to sit glued to the TV when it was on, now, blech.

Donny Ketchum October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) Seems like every single time we think the women have ditched all of their weak links, new ones keep emerging. First Janai, then Denine, then Kalen, and now Katie fucks up everything left and right and deservedly goes home because of it. And Roe turns out to be not much of a prize herself, either. Are LaTasha, Sade, Ashley, and Jennifer seriously the only four truly competent chefs on that team? Meanwhile, Sterling is thrown under the bus despite only having one bad service (and not even this current service!) while they have Steve, who's fucked up two, and Santos, who's fucked up quite a bit but still avoided the chopping block somehow! I'm almost positive that he's not getting tossed next week. I think he's being moved to the women's team to even up the numbers with Katie gone. I agree with Ramsay's frustration. I see no obvious winner from either team. Sade, LaTasha, and Jennifer seem like the best of the women, and . . . I don't see any breakout stars among the men. Sterling and Aaron seem like the most competent, but even they have their own stumbles.

Uncle Benzene October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 Sterling may be a competent line cook, but I see absolutely nothing about him that says "chef." He's a clown (and I mean that in the most derogatory way possible.) He can take his exaggerated Stevie Wonder upper lip smiley schtick, his overwrought hack-comedian talking heads, and his over-the-top growly pro wrestler style elimination appeal, and get the fuck out asap.

Jlina October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 I am continuously surprised at the clout Gordon shows; the tables were full of restaurant owners/chefs and for just an average weeknight he managed to pull in some big names (Feniger). I'm impressed. Too often the chat makes him seem like a washed out has been so it's good to see he's still got it in the culinary world anyway. I do not see anyone on the screen that even seems like they could grow into possibly running a restaurant. No wonder he's panicking. I like the in your face this is who I am short brown haired girl, dislike the finger shaking snap of the girl with dreads and her mouth. I was with Katie on that one. The remaining blonde really needs to wash off her eye makeup and start over. Looks like next week all the big mouth talkers manage to totally screw up, omg for Gordon's dial a meter!

Unless he's going to give one of them a chance to change teams... Before they showed the promos I figured this was the usual "let's switch up the teams" type of cliffhanger. I'd be shocked if someone else goes home. Sterling is annoying as can be but he's cooked decently enough so far (or, perhaps more correctly, there are others who have performed far worse). He's clearly not a leader given the way he acts like an idiot all the time but he deserves to stay over a lot of the others.

bluepiano October 11, 2014 Share October 11, 2014 (edited) I think it was that, plus Ramsay was still pissed off at Katie for nominating herself last week. I had the same thought, and figured after last week she was toast. If you're afraid to nominate someone else for elimination because they're going to bust your chops, then you should never have gone on this first show in the first place. GR did tell her that she could cook, which is the first time all season I've heard him say something nice during an elimination. Katie was actually one of the only benign personalities left. Just about everyone else is extremely unpleasant, annoying, or both. Those two chefs from Animal (hate that name) seem to get trotted out every season on both Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef. I don't get it, because the two of them combined don't have a shred of personality. Every time I've seen them they appear bored out of their minds. Maybe that's just your basic too-cool-for-school hipster attitude, but in any event it's not good television. There must be other chefs who would like the publicity and in exchange could muster a bit of enthusiasm. Or at least a smile. I bet the woman who said how she would love to be able to get a reservation at Animal had never of it before they gave her the line.
