But it had a happy ending! And a super cute guest chef. And people stepping up! And non-English speaking chefs thowing themselves into Ramsay's arms! Repeatedly!

Art Crawl!!!

First of all - that restaurant had many, many managers but no one would take responsibility for anything. The food was rotten, there were flies everywhere, they were infested with rats and roaches. It was totally the nastiest thing.

For an interesting contrast Ramsey took the staff to his own restaurant's kitchen - his restaurant London is easy walking distance from Dillon's. It was night and day. Everything was clean, neat, bright and shiny at his restaurant.

Secondly, they restaurant's menu was all over the place - they had a bunch of Indian dishes and a bunch of western dishes. The cooking staff could not cook the non-Indian food and the managerial staff did that - not very well.

So, Ramsey had the place cleaned, re-did the front, remade the menu into Indian only and got things moving.

It was a much better episode than last week. I thought it felt more like the British edition.

I don't know that I can make it to that part! (Without knowing that that's how it will end, I mean. What if Ramsay fails and the restaurant closes and people's Dreams Die?! too much)

What was the really gross thing?! ETA ah, the usual for a gross restaurant thing

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys would make a very beautiful couple!!!

Aw, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day!

My group watching ANTM were kind of shocked that Mila was sent home. We were sure Tyra was going to keep her on until she had made her cry!

Seriously. That girl was fucked up on the inside. No one's that happy for reals.

Plus, a little wall eyed!

Aw, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day!

It's true, too! I can totally picture you guys together!

On ANTM, I thought Mila looked like a bobblehead ... and about as bright. Obviously, Ebony's going to be the season's bitch (obligatory).

Watching the reactions to Hung's (very obvious) BS at the judges' table is really funny.

You know, I kind of believe him, but I think that he does not know how to express himself in a genuine way. He's so manic at times. I felt for him a little when the guest chef was at his station. He was clearly nervous and overwhelmed, and is his usual arrogance didn't come through.

It's not like he doesn't have feelings at all! And the other chefs do seem to like him. But at this point he's saying what he thinks the judges want to hear and even if it is sincere it doesn't come off like it is.
