Episode Report Card Daniel: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT I Fought the Cod, and the Cod Won

Ramsay has volunteered them for some hard labor at the Ballona wetlands, which is not something I'm familiar with, but I don't claim to be an expert on American treasures.
Meanwhile the women are boarding the G4 and Kimmie classes things up by continuing to wear pants that require discreet pixilation of the backside and singing that they're going to rock out with their cocks out. If she should actually be on Blue, best she tell everybody now, don't you think?
So while the men work their asses off chopping down acacia trees or whatever, the women go on safari and look at a rhinoceros, which Tiffany laughs at and says looks like Clemenza. If that's a size joke at Clemenza's expense -- well, Tiffany's not exactly in a position to be making them, but we already know how highly she thinks of herself. There are also giraffes that lick the women -- Dana amusingly calls it the most action she's gotten in a week, and it's nice.
Sitting down for supper, Ramsay congratulates them all and makes them swear, hands in the air, that they will complete their next dinner service. Barbie then yanks the spotlight over to herself and apologizes for waking them up this morning, and the spirit of camaraderie flicks off like a light switch, it's amazing. Even Ramsay seems taken aback that she did that.
The men are chopping, chopping, chopping and taking issue with Patrick's leadership. At least Guy is, because he says Patrick is leading simply by telling other what to do instead of doing anything himself. Justin, however, is proud of Blue for eventually chopping down the tree, so congratulations on some shit work done grudgingly and time-consumingly!
The next day, the teams prep their kitchens, with the rest of Blue, getting angry at Patrick, who they say isn't doing anything to lead. What that actually means is they resent the fact he's trying to tell them what to do. Royce, who can't cook spaghetti or mashed potatoes or salad, wants everyone to know how much Patrick sucks. He doesn't want anyone telling him what to do, least of all Patrick, because he wears a bandanna.
Ramsay gathers the teams to tell them James is tired of apologizing to diners for dinner not getting out, so he's going to assign one person from each team to serve as waiters. That's brilliant! They haven't completed a dinner service yet, so why not take some of the kitchen help out of the front of house to help not serve the food that isn't getting cooked right? He selects Tiffany and Don from Red and Blue to fill those roles.
