Episode Report Card Daniel: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Too Many Cooks Spoil the Wrath
By Daniel | Season 10 | Episode 5 | Aired on 06.18.2012
The second Red nominee is Danielle, because she served raw pork and couldn't get herself together.
Ramsay summons them all forward and asks why they should stay. Patrick says he's been consistent and professional, even though he screwed up tonight. "You're beat, aren't you?" says Ramsay, and Patrick denies it. Guy says he's been solid and is a fighter. He says he's not over his head. Danielle says she put herself on a station she's never worked because she wanted to stand out. And yes, she messed up a pork chop. "And I'll probably never do that again!" she says. Well, you did it immediately again, and your qualifying "probably" here is hilarious. Barbie says she doesn't feel she deserves to even be standing there right now. Ramsay agrees with her and sends her back in line.
He looks at the remaining three for a moment, calling it a tough one, then says the person leaving Hell's Kitchen is ... and then the show announces it is To Be Continued. Are you KIDDING?
The episode closes with "In Memory of: David Pearson," who apparently was a young man with brain cancer who was supposed to be the guest of honor at the dinner but died last month. So not exactly the feel-good episode of the season, this one.
