  1. Okay, if you don't like the show please skip this post ๐Ÿ™‚

    What the hell was up with this redheaded wench named Melissa tonight?! Each
    team had to create an appetizer, a fish and a meat course for a wedding
    reception. The bride and groom to be were evaluating these dishes first.

    From the get-go Melissa started telling everyone on the red team if they had
    any questions to ask HER, not anyone else. Um, who put her in charge? Then
    when the chef who prepared the duck breast to *perfection* took it out of
    the oven this b**** put it back in!

    When Ramsay told each team to present their courses Melissa immediately
    spoke up and informed Ramsay she didn't think they should present their
    dishes. Excuse me?! Who does she think she is?!

    And when it came time to have them taste the meat course she told the woman
    on her team who was supposed to carry it to the tasting table *not to*!
    Chef Ramsay was sooooo embarrassed. Of course their duck was lousy. She'd
    put it back in the oven and it was like shoe leather.

    She carried on like that all through the actual dinner service the next
    night, bossing people around. She ruined a simple sliced pan-fried potato
    dish and had to start over. She dumped a pan of sauce into the water bin on
    the steam table. Rather than immediately start making more she tried to bum
    sauce from the blue team! And the whole time she's acting like it's
    everyone elses' fault.

    She was nominated to leave at the end of the show but Ramsay surprised
    everyone by sending her over to the blue team instead. He did, however, say
    this was her last chance. IMHO she should have been out of there.

    I am still watching it Jill. You are decribing Melissa perfectly. I
    can't believe that Ramsay is letting her stay. I can't believe her
    "blame game". Who does she think she is. Julia (the short-order cook)
    had the duck done just right and Melissa ruined it. I like Julia.

    Oooops, I didn't think of the time difference! Sorry Vickie! I like Julia,
    too. She doesn't take any guff but she doesn't try to boss everyone around,
    either. She just handles her station and keeps it moving. As a short order
    cook you'd have to be able to do that.

    I feel sorry for Bonnie. She admitted from the start as a Nanny she's only
    ever had to cook for 4 people and not worry if the food is a few minutes
    late. (Guess she doesn't prepare food for their dinner parties heheh.)
    She's a bit out of her element.

    The time factors on the show amuse me. "1 hour into the dinner service and
    no one has gotten their appetizers yet". If it wasn't a cooking contest I'd
    have walked out long before that!

    were going to have to work with Melissa was too funny. I would not
    want to eat there after seeing some of the things they do. Bonnie
    serving pasta that she took off the top of the trash was really

    he is going to help resteraunts that are in trouble. That should be
    interesting. LOL

    Aside from all that, looking closely at what first appears to be some
    sort of goatee (beard?) immediately below the middle of her lower lip,
    looking again, it is some sort of 'outbreak'? What in the world is

    I think it's a piercing. And she really needs to do something about all
    that hair when she's cooking. Simply tying it back just wouldn't cut it if
    she worked in my kitchen!

    Among other things:

    - everything is a drama, usually a poor-me drama
    - excusitis, makes excuses for everything
    - feigns victimhood when held accountable, usually by bursting into
    tears or claiming they're the one being bullied and harassed
    - presents as a false victim when outwitted
    - constantly tries and will do almost anything to be in the spotlight
    - the focus of their life is to be the centre of attention

    I have noticed a *significant* difference between this year's crop of
    hopefuls compared to last season. This year it's been all drama and
    not very much skill at all. I can't imagine any of these "cooks" to
    be the head chef at the Green Valley Resort. Stranger things could
    happen, but this group is just awful. I think the reason Ramsay kept
    her around is because she is one of the best available and if she goes
    off the show, then this entire season loses a lot of credibility.

    Melissa only behaved this way for this particular episode. She's an
    annoying personality, yes, but it wasn't THIS bad until this week. My
    thinking is nerves or exhaustion leading her to behave in this way.
    Or, you know, female reasons. But nevertheless, I think Ramsay made
    the right move -- anyway, they had have a non-elimination to make up
    for the week when they lost Aaron due to medical reasons.

    I think it's a pimple of some sort that she scratched and it just got
    worse and worse. I'm thinking she had it all along and make-up simply
    decided to not hide it this episode in order to accentuate her
    strangeness.

    They lost someone due to medical reasons in the last season as well. Makes
    me wonder if they are purposely recruiting at least one person with some
    sort of health issue to add to the drama. What idiot would sign up under
    those conditions is beyond me!

    I missed the beginning of last season so I must have missed that
    medical problem last year.

    Bonnie reminds me of the finalist from last season who didn't win,
    she's so emotional, crying all the time, questioning herself. It's a
    little endearing.

    I'm thinking that it may come down to one of the men this season.
    Julia is one of my favorites but at the end of the day she might not
    be all that suited for the actual prize. I like Rock as well, except
    I think he's really got to do something about the sweat.. maybe wear a
    headband to keep the sweat from going into his eyes.

    I have seen that Helping Restaurants in Trouble Show -last year I
    think. It is really interesting. Ramsay is more gentle on the
    various owners but he is able to diagnose the problems in the
    struggling restaurants and because the owners have invested lots of
    money in their restaurants, they listen.

    I can't wait for the new season.

    I didn't mind finding out ahead of time. It helped to know what to
    watch for. The looks on the blue team's faces when they found out they
    were going to have to work with Melissa was too funny. I would not
    want to eat there after seeing some of the things they do. Bonnie
    serving pasta that she took off the top of the trash was really
    disgusting. LOL Now Ramsay has a new show starting in the fall where
    he is going to help resteraunts that are in trouble. That should be
    interesting. LOL

    I have seen that Helping Restaurants in Trouble Show -last year I
    think. It is really interesting. Ramsay is more gentle on the
    various owners but he is able to diagnose the problems in the
    struggling restaurants and because the owners have invested lots of
    money in their restaurants, they listen.

    I can't wait for the new season.

    This is actually going to be a North American version of a UK show.
    It's called Kitchen Nightmares, I think we've talked about it before
    on this newsgroup.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to this show too.

    I am just the opposite. Until last week I got all the "Dish" channels
    except local because I'm not crazy about local channels., But I
    couldn't get Hell's Kitchen which is on the local channels, so I had
    to "fork out" an extra $5 a month; worth it for him.

    Melissa only behaved this way for this particular episode. She's an
    annoying personality, yes, but it wasn't THIS bad until this week. My
    thinking is nerves or exhaustion leading her to behave in this way.
    Or, you know, female reasons. But nevertheless, I think Ramsay made
    the right move -- anyway, they had have a non-elimination to make up
    for the week when they lost Aaron due to medical reasons.

    Quoted message said:

    They lost someone due to medical reasons in the last season as well. Makes
    me wonder if they are purposely recruiting at least one person with some
    sort of health issue to add to the drama. What idiot would sign up under
    those conditions is beyond me!

    I missed the beginning of last season so I must have missed that
    medical problem last year.

    Bonnie reminds me of the finalist from last season who didn't win,
    she's so emotional, crying all the time, questioning herself. It's a
    little endearing.

    I'm thinking that it may come down to one of the men this season.
    Julia is one of my favorites but at the end of the day she might not
    be all that suited for the actual prize. I like Rock as well, except
    I think he's really got to do something about the sweat.. maybe wear a
    headband to keep the sweat from going into his eyes.- Hide quoted text -

    This is the first show of its kind that I'm not attached to any of the
    people. I'm sorry to say that not one is interesting to me - only
    Ramsay -- but I blame him for choosing these complete novices (not
    only in cooking either).
