LOL at everybody hoping Bitchy Elise will magically de-bitch now that she has a black jacket. LOL. Good one, guys! That's an awful lot like hoping the rain will wash off a zebra's stripes, but still. Your cheery optimism is appreciated.
The chefs’ first individual challenge is presentation; they have to transform an ugly dish into something beautiful.
- Tommy: chicken and dumplings. 74 out of 100.
- Paul: tuna casserole. 60 out of 100. (He used canned tuna!)
- Jennifer: lasagna. 52 out of 100.
- Bitchy Elise: eggplant parmesan. 86 out of 100.
- Will: meatloaf. 87 out of 100.
Will wins! “For me, meatloaf is amazing. If I was ever on death row, my last meal would be my mother’s meatloaf.” Agreed, agreed, AGREED! (And since I'm about to die anyway, it doesn't have to be vegetarian meatloaf. Heh.) He did “the honorable thing” and chose Elise to go out to eat with him since she came in second — leading Paul to say exactly what I was thinking: “If I won would I’ve took Elise? NO!” As Will and Elise dine, he asks that she de-bitch for the sake of the team. LOL. Good one, Will!
The team of Hell’s Kitchen vets harmoniously knocks out a menu in minutes. On the other team — shockingly — Bitchy Elise can’t even write down suggestions without starting a fight. Yeah, that black jacket really changed her. A radical transformation, this. She singlehandedly ruined menu planning with a mind-bogglingly incomprehensible hissyfit (Ok. Seriously. Are the show’s producers paying her to be the villain, or something?) about how her input was not being considered, leading Will to make the most obvious statement in the history of reality tv: “You had to have been the problem on the red team,” and then to storm out of the room.
Dinner Service
Bitchy Elise insulted Tommy for needing Will’s help — then asked Paul for his opinion on steak after steak — then insulted Paul’s cooking. *sigh* Ultimately, the other team lost, but Gordon still instructed everyone to select two people to put up for elimination. YAY! Tommy votes for Paul because of overcooked lobster and Jennifer because of undercooked bok choy. Will votes for Paul and Bitchy Elise BECAUSE SHE’S A RAGING BITCH. Paul votes for Bitchy Elise because she asked him three times about her steaks. She insisted it was only once; we’re shown the replay: it was three. The two get into a shouting match, and discussion breaks down.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Jennifer, convinced that she’s about to go home, asked Paul out! He turned her down because she’s in Boston and he’s in New York, but it was SO CUTE. He gave her a big bearhug. “I’m so embarrassed!” she giggle-moaned to the camera later. Chin up, Jen. He so did you a favor. Long distance relationships suck.
Elimination
Bitchy Elise announces the fact that she herself and Jennifer are on the chopping block with the severe smugness of someone who knows that she’s not going home. And she’s right. Both she and Jennifer are safe, awarded another chance because their team won dinner service. Dammit. Gordon, it seems, wants to let the anticipation build … and build …
