http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Hells-Kitchen--Double-Elimination.aspx Who is left for us to root for? I am 100% confident I am going to make the next elimination predictions completely right. This is my special way of saying I clearly have no idea who is going home, or when. I stole this line and sentiment from contestant Josh who was put on appetizers in this episode and said, “I am 100% confident that I will get us going!” Once he uttered those words, you just knew it was over. After messing up spaghetti after spaghetti, then undercooking the risotto, Josh was kicked out of the kitchen by Chef Ramsay, who chased him down the hall and took away his jacket. Josh packed his bags and didn’t get to say goodbye. And, this was less than 30 minutes into the episode.   OK, so I did get that prediction right — about Josh going home — but frankly, that was like saying, “Next week the show will be on at 9 p.m.” Sure, a natural disaster could preempt it, but I’m probably going to be right. And, Josh was never the most piquant spice on the rack. The guy thought running around in padded faux-army gear was the best reward ever on the show. Last week, Chef told him point blank he couldn’t cook. I think Ramsay has wanted to throw somebody’s tail out in the middle of a service for weeks and kept Josh around for just such an event. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Hells-Kitchen--Double-Elimination.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Hells-Kitchen--Double-Elimination.aspx#1016 It may be a testament to the quality of this year's contestants that Josh lasted this long. How many times did Ramsey tell him NOT to cook the f*cking spaghetti but he did it anyway. Not only was he incompetent and a sneaky bastard but he was stupid as well. Did he really think he could put that over on Ramsey? If anyone ever deserved to be summarily booted out on to the street in the middle of a service it was this assclown. ozzy http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/24/Hells-Kitchen--Double-Elimination.aspx#1016 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:21:57 GMT
