Thrive to spite them

What he do to get fired?

After seeing some of the stuff that Ramsay's said in interviews and also some of his actions on Nightmares I figured he'd do something like this. He really respects people with talent and work hard. I hope Julia has a shining career in her future.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Chef Ramsey + Julia + culinary school = love!

I was hoping he wouldn't kick anyone out since he kicked Josh out in the middle of service because I had a feeling that Julia would go tonight.

Josh royally fucked up appetisers. Again.

I guess it was the last straw.

That was so sweet. This is the kind of thing that really elevates this show - he shouts and curses a lot, but he also brings a kind of humanity and genuineness that's rare on tv.

Josh was so freaked about getting behind that he kept randomly starting pans of risotto and pots of spaghetti on the stove - and kept on doing it like four more times even after Ramsay reamed him out for it.

Just when I thought I couldn't adore Ramsey any more, he goes and sends Julia to culinary school. Awwwwww.

The saddest part of this story is that I no longer have a horse in this race. I really don't want any of them to win. None of them are consistent in their performance. Rock is a mean tempered hypocrite. Jen is the dumpster diver. Bonnie is...well, Bonnie. I guess Bonnie gets my vote by being the least vile of the options.

I look forward to a future season when Julia returns.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I prefer Rock over anyone left. I can't forgive Jen for the garbage situation. Bonnie's attitude toward Julia has been less than charitable. Her nanny ass has no reason to stick her nose in the air.

I'm for Bonnie, although I don't think she'll win. Rock's an ass. Jen pissed me off last week when she was so bitchy to Bonnie for no reason, and then she turned around and questions was Rock was being nasty for no reason this week and I was like ?????

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In random reality TV news, I offhandedly mentioned Big Brother at work yesterday, and my boss had never heard of it. I don't care if you don't watch it, but it's been on three nights a week for eight summers!

I don't have a horse in the HK race either. Now, I'll just watch to see if the spoilery thing I read was real or a foiler.

I think it'll be Jen. Bonnie's just too eratic. Rock has the misfortune of being the last man standing on a decidedly underwhelming men's team, and I think that'll count against him as much as his temper does. For all his talk, he's been solid but not stellar - same as Jen.
