Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sparkle-licious
By Monty Ashley | Season 4 | Episode 6 | Aired on 05.06.2008
Why should Shayna stay? She bangs out services and deserted her three-month-old daughter. Interesting! Rosann? She wants a better life for her daughter. What? Matt! "Chef, I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I was pushed and bullied off my station tonight while other members of my team are hiding behind one person." Really, that's what you're going with? You should stay because you couldn't keep people from doing your job for you? Okay, this is going to get complicated:
Ramsay: "Who pushed you off your station?"
Matt: "Bobby pushed me off my station!"
Ramsay: "You hid behind Bobby!"
Matt: "Ben hides behind Bobby, not me!"
Ramsay: "He took over your section!"
Matt: "He pushed me off my station, would not let me back on!"
Ramsay: "Look at the size of you! There's 250 pounds in there! Louross's [bleep] are bigger than yours!" (with a two handed gesture to indicate the size of Louross's bleeps, which Louross seemed to enjoy)
Matt: "I don't have a voice in my kitchen. No one listens to me. I guarantee you if you put me on the red team, you'll see the failure in the blue team."
Ramsay: "You wanna cook with the girls."
Matt: "I have no shame with working with women in the kitchen, chef."
Ramsay: "Un....[bleep]...real. My decision is...."
Commercial bumper: a candle being snuffed out. I think that's supposed to be in the ominous "symbolic of death" way, with a touch of "blow out all the candles and you'll get your wish!" thrown in there.
Back from commercials, Matt is sent back to the blue team. Really? Huh. Anyway, Shayna's going home. And she gets a pretty soft send-off as Ramsay emphasizes to her that he thinks she's a good cook, just too slow. And then he calls her "my darling", which is weird. Then he harasses Rosann a bit and sends her back in line.
Oh, and Matt is indeed sent over to the red team. The women do not look happy, and who can blame them? Matt thinks he's ready to kick ass with a new team, but I think this new attitude will last about five minutes.
Next week: Matt shouts at Ben and the women hate Matt. Chef Ramsay shouts at various contestants and then praises "the best risotto that's ever gone out of Hell's Kitchen". Jen and Rosann are sad. And I won't believe who goes home. Really? I can believe an awful lot of things. Like, last week I believed the previews when they claimed that "a new chef joins one of the teams", and that just turned out to mean Matt changing sides. Even the "romance" preview from two weeks ago was more accurate!
