Hell's Kitchen: No Segway for Fat Robert

I find Hell's Kitchen very amusing. I'd like to have temper outbursts like Gordon Ramsay. He is so good at it. This week a lady didn't like her appetizer, confronted Ramsay, to which he called her a dog and shooed her away. The lady seemed to have liked getting the Ramsay Treatment.

To win this week's reward each team member had to make a dish using King Crab. Then each team had to pick which member's was best and then serve it to Chef Ramsay.

The Red Team picked Andrea's awful looking dish that had crab legs, in the shell, arranged on the plate. The Blue Team picked Ben. Despite Danny's tasting better. Ben went on and on and on describing his King Crab dish. Ramsay hated both of them. Rejecting the first two, Danny and Paula brought up their dishes.

Ramsay liked both, but liked Danny's best. So the boy's were off to a day of fun at the Santa Monica beach, with Ramsay, while the other team cleaned toilets and crabs.

Ben is so annoying. He is one of those people, like me, who is not nearly as funny or bright as he thinks he is. Over and over again he blunders and yet keeps acting like he is Top Chef.

At the beach, Ramsay greeted the boys on a Segway. All the boys, but Robert, got to play on Segways. Apparently, if you weigh over 600 pounds, a Segway can not haul you around. So, Robert got a bike. I was amazed he was able to ride a bike.

At the Dinner Service, Ramsay let the teams pick their menu. Both teams picked similar menus. Both Ben and Carol insisted on cooking spud dishes which both claimed they were expert at. Ben over and over again repeated a French term for his spud dish, fondant, that annoyed Robert and Danny, due to them having no idea what Ben was talking about. Turns out, neither did Ben.

Both spud dishes were a disaster. Carol's scallops were raw and Ramsay had no idea what Ben's spud dish was. When told it was a fondant Ramsay pretty much profanely said HUH?

Ben got accused, by Ramsay, of sabotaging Robert by badly cutting the beef Robert was trying to cook. It seems more obvious that Ben was just being incompetent. He seems too stupid to sabotage.

In the end, the Red Team, all girls, but one, won. Ramsay told Danny to go upstairs and pick one from his team to go home. After a lot of angst, Danny picked Ben.

But, then Ramsay called out both Ben and Robert. And then sent Carol home. Always with the unexpected twists on Hell's Kitchen.

Of the remaining cooks it is obvious there are only 2 who can possibly be the winner, that being either Paula or Danny. The rest are messes, real messes.
