Hell's Kitchen: Hospital For Robert, Home For Jim

Episode 6 of Season 6 of Hell's Kitchen was one more entertaining, loud hour. The day started with a low calorie challenge where each team had to create an appetizer, entree and dessert that totalled no more than 700 calories.

Robert said he usually eats 700 calories in one bite. Very foretelling for Robert's fate later in the hour.

The Blue Boys team had trouble getting the calories down. The Red Girls team was much more organized. So, of course, they won. The Blue Boys then had a very interesting task, while the Red Girls went to Venice Beach for a volleyball lesson.

While the girls had fun in the sun, the boys also had fun in the sun. They had to pedal a bizarre bicycle contraption from Hell's Kitchen to a store to pick up some produce. Robert did not have an easy time of it. All the boys had a hard time pedaling that thing.

Eventually the boys got their bike back to Hell's Kitchen. Robert was wiped out. A medic was called in, who then called 911, with an ambulance soon taking Robert to the hospital. He did not make it back for the dinner service.

When it came time to open Hell's Kitchen both teams did not do well. Jim kept ruining risotto and looked like a zombie while doing so. He was likely mourning the loss of Tek, who we found out this week is now his girlfriend.

Over at the Red Girls Chef Ramsay got into a yelling match with Tennile after she messed up on the garnishes a couple times. He kicked her out of the kitchen and then followed her for some more yelling. After the yelling was done Tennile went back to cooking.

Sabrina sent out raw pork. Apparently that is a big no-no in the restaurant world. She also wrongly cooked lamb.

Andy had all sorts of troubles on the boy's team. He could not cook halibut correctly. Which got him increasingly flustered from all the shouting directed his way.

Ramsay had had enough. He shut down the kitchen. Then told both teams they'd lost and for each team to pick one person to get possibly sent home. The girls picked Sabrina, the boys quickly picked Andy. But Ramsay sent neither of them home. Instead he told Jim to take his jacket off and get the hell out of Hell's Kitchen.

Next week it looks like, maybe, Robert is back. And it appears that one-armed Dave has a major meltdown. He's been one of the competent ones.
