   Okay....better late than never.
Hell's Kitchen, final episode.

So it was down to Virginia and Heather. Honestly, I still think Keith deserved to be there. So yeah his attitude kinda bites at time, in my eyes, he was the chef that improved the most. Virginia does have a good pallatte but she has done so consintently horrible in the kitchen. She's done so well in the challenges BUT she's gone up for elimination so many times it looks like it was an insults to the other contestants.

The final episode followed the same format as last season. The resturant would be divided in two, and each contestant would get to design the new look of the resturant down from the table cloths to the wall treatments to staff uniforms.

Despite my hatred for Virginia and her prisspot ways, I liked how her resturant looked against Heather's. Virginia's looked more like a resturant and Heather looked like she was building an homage to herself. Seriously, you saw all those video screens she had of herself cooking. Hated it.

And just like last season, our contestants who were eliminated were back. Virginia and Heather got to pick who they wanted, Virginia went first because she won the challenge (same challenge as last season's final episode, make a signature dish and go to the public to taste it.)

If you noticed, we were short 4 people. Polly, Larry, Maribel and Gabe. It's not because they were eliminated too early, so the producers didn't call them back. If you remember, Maribel lasted longer than Rachel. My guess is they didn't want to come back.

Polly - She had 6 kids, so it might not have been a good time for her. Also, she was gone on the first episode. That's a little embarassing, I prolly wouldn't have come back either.
Larry - He got sick, some sort of stress thing. It's natural for him to not come back.
Gabe - I actually have no idea why he'd wouldn't come back. o.o
Maribel - She was always homesick, so she has no intention of leaving her family.

So in elmentary kickball faishon, the gals picked their chefs. Virginia took Keith, good choice, Giacamo and Tom. WHAT? WAIT A MINUTE! SHE TOOK TOM? WHY? Why would anyone want to take Tom as a chef? You've got to be kidding... Virginia in a very self destructive mood basically tells her team that she picked them because she wanted to show people what she could do with a the weakest chefs. All three were taken aback. Yeah, Virginia, here's a hint, when you have people working for you, don't tell them you think they suck. This prompts Keith to demand some kind of payment if she wins, the other two back him up. Virginia claims that she doesn't believe in money as a reinforcer, but the guys press the issue, and she caves, if she won, they'd all get one grand. HA! If it was one, I'd ask for more.

Heather chose, Rachel and Sara, poor Garrett was the odd man out, so he was sent to this team. I was a little surprised to see she chose Sara though. She and Sara have had some conflict, but I will say, Sara does have some skills. I guess Sara hates Virginina more than Heather, haha. She did get snotty at one point when her dishes were not plating to Heather's satifaction. Sara's a deli manger so she's prolly not used to someone telling her that her food wasn't good enough...but did she need to be such a brat about having to re-do a plate? Sheesh. Get over it, Sara.

Service went out fairly well...Virginia was slow and Heather had a fair;y good service. In the end, Heather won! I was very happy. If Virginia had won, I would've broken the tv.
