   Dundundaa…It’s getting hotter in here, We must be getting closer to HELL.
It’s Monday night, time for my ramblings on Hell’s Kitchen.

If you saw the first episode of Hell’s Kitchen, it’s obvious that my least two favorite characters, were casted into the generic reality TV show molds. Now even Hell’s Kitchen, the FIRST reality cooking show…. (I think….? Haha…Maybe top chef was first?)

Virginia was our token “flirt” even in her bio photo she was primping. She constantly babbles on how Ramsey is so “hot” and she gushes like a school girl whenever he compliments her. To round out her girly-ness, she even a fluffy “foo foo” girly pseudo-chef, a salad chef. (I’m SORRY. I refuse to call someone who specializes in SALADS, which is primarily raw veggies to be a CHEF)

And Sara, a deli manager, so she’s used to bossing folks around. She naturally clashes with my favorite, Heather, who is a Sous Chef and used to bossing others around as well… and since a deli manger simply isn’t as cool as Sous Chef, I hate her. Well…I didn’t start hating her until she took that whole snarky attitude about how she was going to pick away at her own ranks. Uhm, no. That’s now how you run a kitchen, what you want to do is get Ramesy’s attention. One way is to work your butt off at your station, another is to help your teammates in order to get your tickets out. Only when you shine brightly in the kitchen, do you get awarded and then can you select who stays and who goes. When you’re picked as the best of the worst, then you be devious and plot…but be careful plans often blow up and go awry…

So yeah, Virginia only won the construction because of her flirting. Could’ve been her food? Meh. I don’t think so. (Simply because I don’t like feta and I don’t think turkey and feta are a good combo) All in all it was probably a decent sandwich. I was surprised Keith didn’t win. He’s been cooking really well lately, he’s come a long way, and he’s my second favorite now. (I’m just so loyal to Heather!) I was surprised that heather was the least favorite. Then again, now that I think about it, she set herself up for that one. Fried chicken sandwich and fries, it does sound good, and I’d gladly eat one for lunch…but….those construction workers have prolly eaten a billion of them. The other three, chose some more unusual and gourmet dishes…which is why I was expecting Keith’s to win, the fanciest of them all.

Sara’s gone. Meh. I’m not sad really, it’s just that….I hate Virginia a whole lot more and I respect Sara more as a chef…. Virginia is just a flirt… that’s all she is…and her whole crying and booing to Heather and then chef…could be one of two things – she’s just a moron or she’s a flipping brilliant stagiest…. I’d say she’s more like an opportunistic moron. She saw the chance of saving her hide and she’d rather sour the chances for someone else than toast herself.

Come on, she may be able to please a gaggle of construction workers…but can she run a gourmet restaurant? NO. For cripes sake, she was screwing up the VEGETABLE station….THEY’RE VEGETABLES. Unless you don’t wash them, they’re hard to mess up. She burned the peas and cabbage…yup…you heard me…She burned them…while they weren’t charred…they tasted burnt…so that meant the pan/sauce/seasoning/whatever were burnt flavoring the veggies as such… Ramsey threatens her with revoking her “safe” status and she still flounders more.

She’s not making it to the finals. Please. She may win the next challenge but she’s too scattered brained to win.

*wants to see Heather and Keith win* …amah H&K ALL THE WAY!

I wonder if it’ll be like the last season….in the finals… the two top chefs take control over one side of the kitchen and everyone else comes back to be their team….
