yes, I was completely grossed out. I thought she was going to be fired for THAT.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

oh, ew - I missed that! (HK) What is WITH these people? they were talking about Julia not "knowing the product" and not knowing about high-level ingredients and spices and then you've got one person fishing food out of the trash and another one preparing to use seafood that's gone bad. bleah.

And did you guys see Joanna lick the tongs she was stirring the risotto with?
I saw that and was surprised nothing came of it later.

Right. I think Julia's got good basics and she can learn to make those dishes but will Jen learn the sense to not take food out of the garbage if she hadn't learned that from her mother by now? Or Joanna being unable to small really bad crab? Or licking the damn tongs?
Sheesh.

And she can prioritize on the fly. If she knows what's going into something, she's aware of how much time she does or doesn't have on something else. Nobody else on either team seems to have the first clue how to do that. Learning the technique to make a dish is easier than learning how to do five things at once, IMO.

Does Chef Ramsey look at the footage when deciding who goes? There have been things that happened when he wasn't around that should have had some impact, but a lot of the time they don't ever seem to come up. I'm thinking especially of last season when one of the people said something was almost ready and the person who was assembling the service took her at her word and then got chewed out when it was going to take a while to cook and then the person lied about what she'd said.

I love that TWoP has the Gordon Ramsay bleep-o-meter in their recaps. Love.

Sean, I missed the Ice Road Truckers on Sunday, but I caught it tonight. Those guys have got to have fricking nerves of titanium to do that. Everytime I heard the ice cracking I wanted to tell them to get the fuck off the road.
