[Hell's] Kitchen: There was no "voila" for me

Never had a fruit tart in my life.

But what part of the country is that in? It was very confusing.
Edit: If y'all are making a joke, it ain't funny!

giving him the rice was a super dumb move, if you don't he's almost guaranteed to lose the challenge, and that ensures you wont go home yourself.
Here's the deal: The only way it would bite Becky in the ass is if she was in the bottom three. Which clearly she wasn't.
By keeping David in the game one more round, she takes out a stronger contestant (Felix), and puts more dead weight into the final rounds so that she can eliminate him later.
So from a purely strategic standpoint, she made the right call. This is also why Frank was a dumbass for putting David and Becky together: Yeah, the judges might have chewed Becky out if they were in the bottom 2, but there's no way they would eliminate Becky over David. Which means that his plan would end up eliminating David, who was already weak
The strategic move would have been to pair Becky with Christine and David with Felix. Felix would have the best possible chance of carrying David over. Christine would likely drag Becky down, not because of a lack of skills, but an inability to communicate (Christine would need all the visuals explained to her before she can give Becky instructions). Thus creating a good chance of eliminating at least one of your strong competitors. Monti and Stacy would also be another good match in the bottom two, since we've never really seen them work together, and both are strong players.
Of course, it's still disappointing because the worst chef tonight didn't go home.

There isntenough timeforsomeone to formulate this strategy on the fly
Like, that's not even what Masterchef is about, we have Hells Kitchen for that.

Given how Hell's Kitchen has been going this season, what with taking actual chefs and expecting them to perform well in a commercial environment and watching them flounder every motherfucking episode, I think it might be an interesting change.
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor
My new novel:
Maledictions: The Offering.
Now in Paperback!
Who got sent home last night? I missed the episode.
And yeah, this group is pretty terrible. Definitely by now there are usually a few chefs who clearly have a shot to win, and they are surrounded by others who are mediocre to bad. This season just seems like everyone is mediocre to bad.
From what I've seen, it looks like the good chefs were sent home early because they forgot they were actually playing a game. What is left are the ones that can play the game, but can't cook for shit.
That would require believing that any of them have been good chefs. And I can't believe that. Especially when both teams blew the tag challenge and ended up with no winner for the first time in ten seasons. Also, have they actually had a dinner service where both teams finished yet? Because if they haven't, we're onto the final six without a fully successful service yet, and that's just...sad.
Meanwhile, on MasterChef, people are cooking! What a concept for a food show! Also, David forgot his key ingredient AND created inedible shit, he should have been out the door so fast he should have bounced when he hit concrete. Those profiteroles must have been stuffed with human feces or something to get Felix out ahead of him.
EDIT: And I like Josh, so it's a shame he's getting railroaded for saying that he wouldn't give David rice. I wouldn't have either. Fuck him, it's a competition and he fucked up. Just because I don't think I'll be the worst this week doesn't mean I should give someone else who might beat me a saving throw. If it comes down to you and the other guy, and he forgot his main ingredient, guess who gets to stay?
This season of Hell's Kitchen has had services where they did get completed with both teams still in the kitchen. Granted, it was always because the team that was out front (usually red) had their team go over to help the other team finish their tickets.
I completely understand Josh's stance to not have given the rice. It's rational and completely justifiable. That said, I very much agree with Frank's belief on being an honorable competitor. If it were me I would have done what Becky did, but I wouldn't look badly upon someone if they didn't.
Also, I loved Becky's "classy and trashy" theme, I really dig those opposite's attract style dishes.
I'm surprised no one called Josh out on the fact that there was no hard shell. Then again, a shell only lasts for maybe 5 minutes at the most, and Josh had no idea when his dish would be judged, so that's just poor planning.
Then you have to account for the timing of preparing the custard, baking it, and giving it time to chill.
Terrible, terrible idea.
Yea especially considering that they do seem to judge people overall in the competition (though mostly on the current dish), why the hell is David still there? Yea, Felix's dish looked terrible, but his was terrible and inedible. Kind of think that makes his worse.
David is still around because the producers wanted someone to add a little more drama. It's why I wish these shows weren't on fox, they try and turn everything into trashy tv.
As for David, all I'll say is he is lucky as shit Ryan decided to "gracefully" bow out when he did.

1. Becky clearly the most talented
2. Christine is fucking awesome and fuck ryan for doing shit
3. David is a piece of shit with weird talent for limited shit.
4. how the fuck did tali last as long as he did
5. Frank is so unidemensional. The fucking chicken for marines.
6. monti is hilare but i ultimately don't see her winning
7. Felix was the worst expediter ever, what the fuck is that about. Also how everyone tried to pin shit on monti. BULL FUCKING SHIT
I can't wait till he goes home next week.
One of the best things in this show is how monti basically is proving all dem bitches wrong about being a recipe cooker.
Who is we?
Me.
Just looked at the listings and WTF Fox. The Olympics aren't that good.
It's not that the Olympics are OMG awesome to everyone, it's that they're only around once every four years. And thus there's a lot of people who watch the Olympics. So Fox would be silly to try and compete with that.
But David deserved to go home for not finishing his well done steak in the oven. Dude. Dude. Really?
This is why I despise cyclists
He sucked so many times and was idiotically arrogant.
