To say chef Ramsay was pissed off at the beginning of the episode would be an understatement. He sends in 2 assistants with bullhorns to rouse everyone from their sleep and head outside. There, they line up while a dumptruck full of the previous night’s wasted food, makes it’s way in front of them and unloads its cargo directly onto the street. Each team had to dive in and separate the wasted food to show them just how much went for naught. Once done, they got cleaned up and went into the next challenge which was to filet a halibut into perfect 6 ounce pieces. They had to start with a whole halibut and the team with the most pieces deemed by Chef to pass inspection, would win and get to spend some tine with him on a luxury yacht. The losing team had to remain behind in HK and prepare fish stock - the point being, every part of the fish gets utilized. Both teams were able to carve out 41 passing pieces. It was then up to 1 member of each team to pick one piece and the closest to 6 ounces, wins. The men’s selection came in at 5.9 while the women’s came in at a disappointing 4.9.
At the next dinner service, Petrozza still didn’t know the evening’s menu and was sent away until he learned it. He declared himself done while taking another cigarette break, until TBGR came in and helped him figure it all out. Meanwhile Craig and Roxann were playing the part of assistant maitre d’s, to see what it was really like on the other side of the counter. You’d think they’d be out of the proverbial fire, but Craig knocked a lady in the head with a chair as he was carrying it across the room, and Roxann was turning in tickets a full hour after taking the order because she didn’t want to bombard the chefs. What?? If they aren’t cooking up to par, that’s not your problem. Your job is to take people’s orders and get them into the kitchen so they know exactly what to cook, or in this case, how far behind they are. The men were able to crank out all their apps, but not a single entree made it out onto the floor. On the other side, Sharonw as a lost puppy and was cross contaminating food left and right. The men couldn’t figure out their lack of communication and were yelled at by Chef who said guys were giving up, setting the place on fire, stopping working and sending out raw food. This put him over the edge and he cleared out Hell’s Kitchen. Diners included.
Once again, the men were the best of the worst and given immunity for the last service. Corey was the best of the losing team and selected Jen and Christina to go up for elimination, for personal and strategic reasons, respectively. Chef threw a swerve into things when he eliminated Sharon, saying he does not believe in her, and that her lack of “skills” absolutely scared him.
