Episode Report Card Daniel: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Clemenza Clemency
By Daniel | Season 10 | Episode 7 | Aired on 06.25.2012
Ramsay says Clemenza has done well but had a bad night, and asks Clemenza if he's done. Clemenza says he'll put out another dinner service right now if Ramsay asks him to.
Ramsay's decision? Clemenza. Everyone waits for it ... and sure enough, Clemenza's ordered back in line, drawing applause and high-fives from the Red Team.
Guy surrenders his jacket, thanks Ramsay for the opportunity. Ramsay thanks him for his hard work.
Ramsay advises Clemenza to use the passion that he has, and Robyn tells us Clemenza has more heart than anyone else on Blue. Royce acknowledges Clemenza has passion but he needs to be better organized. As for Clemenza? "I found out who my friends are," he says, bemused by the fact he got more love from the Red Team.
"Guy's performance in Hell's Kitchen has been extremely inconsistent. And that's why I know he's not the guy to run Gordon Ramsay Steak." Grooooan. Well that, plus Ramsay knows the entertainment potential in sending Clemenza back a team full of members that just knifed him.
Daniel is a writer in Newfoundland with a wife and a daughter. Right now, the episode in which Robyn gets eliminated will have to be pretty awful otherwise to earn anything but an A grade. Follow him on Twitter (@DanMacEachern) or email him at danieljdaniel[at]gmail.com.
