Episode Report Card Daniel: B- | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Whenever I Eat Hawaiian Food, I'm Always Hungry an Hour Later
By Daniel | Season 9 | Episode 6 | Aired on 08.02.2011
As for the women, they have to decorate the restaurant in a Hawaiian theme for the reunion. Hawaiian theme, hey? I guess that means Elizabeth's going to want to stock up on gongs and paper fans.
Elise natters at Elizabeth while the women clean the kitchen, with Elizabeth saying the women definitely said "Asian." "I know that 100 per cent," she says, despite, you know, Blue Team making Hawaiian dishes and the baffled women pointing out Red Team's lack of Hawaiian food. Oh, and also? She figured the bacon was OK because they suggested pork as an entrée. Elizabeth is in utter denial as she explains that the women lost because their dishes weren't good enough, and not because she brought back the wrong information. I mean, that's just staggeringly dumb. That's like smoking-while-gassing-up-your-car dumb.
Meanwhile, the Blue Team is on a boat, with captain's hats and waterproof digital cameras. "This is what it feels like to be better than everybody else," says Tommy, when all they really had to do was pay attention to a few committee members.
The Red Team's decorating, but "as usual," according to Carrie, Elise isn't doing much helping, but talking an awful lot. Jennifer says Elise is really good at pretending to help.
Blue Team! Drinking champagne in a hot tub and talking about how they got each others' backs, and Natalie talks about all the respect she commands from the men, demonstrated by Paul taking a picture of her ass as she gets out of the hot tub. And back at Hell's Kitchen, after the Blue Team has returned and gloated in front of the Red Team, a drunk Natalie poses for cheesecake photos for the men while standing in the fountain. She's very proud of herself and appreciates the horndog comments they make, since they miss their wives and girlfriends. This is what she says; this is too depressing to even make fun of.
The next morning, the Blue Team is a little tired and green around the gills, while the Red Team struggles to make a massive three-layer luau cake. Carrie has somehow come to the conclusion that no one else gives a shit except for her, and Elise calls her out on that nonsense. (Despite her own big mouth being a badge of honor for Elise, she's of the opinion that other people shouldn't have one.) Last episode was -- comparatively speaking -- relatively free of the Carrie-Elise bickering, but it's come back full-force, with a lot of "bitch!" being thrown around, and then Elise and Carrie get right up in each other's faces, right before the commercial break, so we have to wait to see how Carrie reacts to being called a "triflin'-ass bitch."
