Hell's Kitchen: Suzanne Finally Sent Home

Sometimes I can't quite tell why someone is so thoroughly disliked by their fellow reality show castmates. In the case of Suzanne, on Hell's Kitchen, I fully got how annoying she was. She had really worn out her welcome and really should have been gone sooner.

The latest episode started with the 5 remaining chefs being told they were to cook their most visually stunning dish. To be judged by fine diners from Bon Appetit, which is the world's most popular culinary magazine.

The Bon Appetit judges picked Ariel's John Dory and Kevin's sea bass as the best looking. Then Chef Ramsay and the magazine's Chief Editor, Barabara Fairchild did a taste test and decided both Ariel's and Kevin's good looking food were winners.

So, Kevin and Ariel got to join Chef Ramsay and Ms. Fairchild for a Bon Appetit photo shoot that featured their winning dishes. Meanwhile the losers, Dave, Tennile and Suzanne got bused off in orange jumpsuits for a day of community service picking up a street adopted by Hell's Kitchen.

Dave re-hurt his arm steam cleaning the red carpet at the Hell's Kitchen entry. But he recovered sufficiently to have appetizers flying out of the kitchen at the start of dinner service. Tennile and Suzanne quickly became problems. With Tennile's problem being bad risotto, which ended up being Kevin's problem, when it was discovered it was he who overcooked the rice.

As the 5 chefs move on to entrees Ariel sends out raw chicken while Suzanne sends out raw fish. Ramsay has a major fit, things seem to be going better. And then Ariel sends out some badly mangled lamb.

Ramsay does the usual rant about being disappointed, then sends the chefs to their dorm to pick 2 for elimination. The obvious picks being Ariel and Suzanne, with Suzanne finally going home after being up for elimination 4 times.

Tennile continues to be funny in her confessionals. I have gotten used to her yelling. Dave talks like he is stoned. It was pretty funny when he got as tongue tied as goofy Van, when Dave tried to describe his dish to the Bon Appetit people.

Too many regular season shows have started up, so Hell's Kitchen is not in the Top 20 of the Nielson Ratings this week.
