Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Jay! We're Dancing!
By Monty Ashley | Season 7 | Episode 8 | Aired on 06.29.2010
Suddenly! Drama! A customer decides that his meat is undercooked so he brings it back to the pass himself. Gordon tells him, as near as I can tell, "Don't come in here all jumped up like some little gym bunny." He also tells him to [bleep] off. The plant -- er, I mean "customer" says that he could be poisoned, but Chef Ramsay points out that beef can be eaten tartare. The customer claims that it's a very low grade of beef. It's all very staged
Next, we get a suspiciously good close-up of Nilka cutting into some uncooked chicken. Gordon is angry. "Raw! Raw! Raw!" That's the spirit! Rah, rah, rah!
Blue side. Autumn and Ed are dragging on some beef. Jason leans in to say it'll be 30 seconds. Autumn isn't talking to anyone. Ed frantically slices duck, which isn't even close to ready. Gordon is despairingly angry. He throws Jason, Ed, Autumn and Jay out. That's the whole team! They slouch to the patio and argue about whether they were doing well before they got thrown out. Jay thinks his teammates think things are "good enough" when they're not.
With just the red team left, Fran gets yelled at for undressed salad and uncooked risotto. Gordon throws the red team out, calling them "useless bits of crap." As they walk out, we get a rare look at the dishwashers. Fran thinks Gordon's nuts. Well, she might be right.
So now both teams have been thrown out of the kitchen. Benjamin thinks his team is all yahoos. Everyone mopes.
Everyone lines up in the kitchen so Chef Ramsay can shout at everyone and ask what went wrong. Siobhan takes responsibility for her errors, which leads Nilka and Fran to do the same. No one on the blue team does it. Anyway, both teams are declared losers so they both have to pick two nominees for elimination.
Patio again. Jay votes for Autumn and Ed. Sounds good to me. Jason agrees. Autumn claims that she made a bunch of little mistakes but shouldn't go home. But she knows she's getting nominated. Ed goes off to pack. That was fairly undramatic. Red team! Everyone sits around glumly and Benjamin nominates Siobhan, saying that he wanted to throw her out himself. Nilka nominates Fran, who immediately takes offense and nominates Nilka and Siobhan. We don't see what Holli or Siobhan say.
Everyone lines up in the dining room. Jay, who ya got? Autumn and Ed, for the slow garnish and raw duck. Benjamin? Siobhan because "she couldn't handle any of the dishes" and Fran, for being disorganized and for talking back to Chef Ramsay.
