I want nothing but good stuff for Julia -- she's never worked with or tasted lobster before and she still manages to cook it well.
I'm pretty sure that's why he picked her dish on that challenge.
He didn't, though. Rock (feh) won that one.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

It came down to the last dish, which was Jen's bisque against whatshisface's fancy experimental dish. Which is why Rock kept going on and on about the soup in his tantrum. (although I think he bitched about the risotto as well). Although if they did an homework on Ramsay they'd know he'd pick the prefectly executed simple dish with clean flavors. That's what he's about.

I kind of want to see Bonnie win, but I'm not sure why.
Did people see the commercial for Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares? I'm interested in seeing what the American version is like. Ramsey is so different in the British version of that show than he is in Hell's Kitchen.

Yeah, if you've ever seen his show The F Word it's a whole different side of him as well.

I think Hell's Kitchen deliberately encourages him to be at his worst - better drama, more excitement.

Ramsay's not as yell-y on Nightmares. Unless the chef/staff are being really stubborn and stupid and trying to cling to their ways that have brought their restaurant to the brink of failure.

I wonder if viewers are going to be disappointed, because that's what Fox is emphasizing in the ads. Personally, I think he's great when he's just giving out advice and experiences, but it may not be what the general crowd is tuning in for.

Well, I expect there will be enough idiocy to set him off on occasion, but it would be interesting to see him being helpful and supportive, rather than keeping the pressure high.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I've got this really warped view of Ramsay, because the only thing I've ever seen him in was him with his mother. And although there was some yelling, it was mostly made of awww.

Was it where she beat him in the cook off? Love.
