Best quote of the episode: "That bitch is crazy!" The Vnutt has a newfound respect for The Rock.
Nothing says a wedding like a swearing Scotsman in the kitchen and black potatoes!
I was starting to like Jen a little more before she started whining again when it came to decision time. But, nice to see the girls acting logical about just trying to get Melissa out of the kitchen. Doesn't matter if Melissa was purposly trying to fuck up her time, or doing it more out of her own scaterbrained-ness, but either way, girl can't stand the heat in the kitchen.
Oh boy. Melissa in the Men's kitchen??? After what Rock said?? Talk about sending in the cat to play with the dogs. That's gonna make for some good viewing.
"I love you Bonnie." Um, is there more going on there than the cameras are showing??

Glad to see the famewhore bride got her smackdown on national tv courtesy of Kent Weed. "If only things in the kitchen were so... easy." I love that announcer and his snarky comments.

I would've nominated Julia, based on what we were shone, because Julia let Melissa fuck up the duck, knowing that she was fucking it up, and did nothing to stop it. Where did her "no, no, no" go that she gave the trash pasta? Bonnie, on the other hand, seems to have found her balls and was ready to not be intimidated by what's going on.
I'm starting to seriously dislike Rock. The only thing that kept me back from hatred is that they didn't show him speaking in third person tonight.
ETA: I think I figured out what's going with Melissa's chin - it looked like she took out a piercing and we were seeing the left-over hole.

Holy cow, *I* wanted to smack her when she was yammering on and on about getting the same proportion of mints in the freakin' netting.
Next week ought to be great if she keeps up the same act.

Rock is Americas favorite cheftestant? WTF? That guy is a colossal dick.
Why cant we just work?Totally sums up why Im on Team Waffle House. My love for Julia grows every week. Shes snarky, doesnt get flustered, and totally owned Melissa during their arguments. Loved when she flat out busted Melissa on overcooking the duck when Melissa tried to blame her for that disaster. Melissas game of blaming others when she screws up became completely transparent tonight.

Best moment though was when the bride and groom were tasting the food for the following night's service, and the girls presented that pathetic pice of crap meat. And they still bickered over that and other things. Hell's Bitches indeed.

Didn't hear a word about Bonnie this week so I guess she rebounded pretty well. Jen has emerged the last few weeks post-spaghetti incident. Men did much better with the weaker links removed though Josh still has his troubles at times. Rock and Brad have both been solid.
Julia continues to be my pick but I think the herd has been thinned to the point where I could see most anybody win it. Well, not so much Josh or Bonnie, but anything can happen.
When the men were in the spa I felt like I was watching Showtime or HBO and things were about to take a wrong turn.
Glad they were able to finish the service for the couple.
I love you Bonnie? Hmm. Though I can relate, lol. Yum. Preview for the next episode looks great.

What the hell was going on with Melissa's chin? She trying to grow a soul patch??
Hhahahahaha! I know, I was so distracted by whatever was going on with her chin.
The voice over guy hit new high with his episode. "Lose the guy's knots" lol
Melissa's hair is so fugly and disgusting right now. Ramsay should do/say something to her about it. Seriously. Rock was hilarious with his comments for Melissa. Too funny.

WTF is wrong with her? and PLEASE get a haircut. Or just disappear. Preferably the latter.
The men at the spa was a little... freaky. My mind went to all the wrong places, lol.
This episode was hilarious and I think the best so far this season. When the women presented that little pitifiul piece of meat I burst out laughing.

If the guys won, why are they being punished?

I should have known better that her edit was leading to Melissa finally getting tossed and WHAM! Sent to the boys team. That said, I'm a bit surprised and pleased that the teams did not screw up the wedding service.

Melissa absolutely deserved to get booted tonight. I hope the guys don't let her mess up their coordination now that they've finally started working as a team.

"Just put the mints in the mesh!"
The duck the women served was awful looking. It looked like a piece of shit or something. Totally was Melissa's fault, we saw her put it back in!
She should of went home tonight, lucky for her she got spared.
Rock is America's favorite chef? Eh.

Ew, gross, that's all I have to say.
Also, I'm with the camp of Melissa's chin piercing gone horribly wrong. Like maybe she took it out for the show and it got all infected or something. But honestly, put a band-aid over it. ugh.

That and her hair hanging all over the place while she was cooking was the nastiest thing I ever seen in HK. GROSS! I am sorely disappointed that Melissa wasn't sent home, but can't wait for a knock down drag out between her & Rock.Melissa and her herpes chin needed to go.
I must say I was happy to see service go well for the reception. Even though they volunteer, I still cringe when couples agree to let reality shows cater their reception and the chefs screw it up.

I wish the people making the decisions would not hold court - just nominate what you saw, let them explain to Ramsey and he will work it out.
As hard as the work looked setting up for the wedding, the red team looked enthusiastic (except M).

And lose the potential for continued tension? Not on anyone's life. Especially when the exit of Aaron gave the show a chance to do a non-elimination leg (see TAR) and keep on pace.Another great episode tonight, with the exception that Melissa wasn't eliminated tonight. She was so horrible, and Ramsey still decided to keep her? Quite foolish.
I've been inclined to defend Melissa but, wow, what a disintegration. I suppose after being put up for elimination last week she felt she needed to show leadership. If so, the execution on the impulse backfired.
Among the notable quotes, I'd cite the wedding planner's, "I think that went well."

-Apparently, Melissa grew a soulpatch overnight. And she crashed and burned this episode. First, she babies everyone and playing the martyr that carries all the weight of the kitchen and asking the others to help her...She will never be able to be a head chef if she never wants to delegate. And she had the nerves to accuse Julia for overcooking the duck when she was the one to "keep it warm". However, I agreed with Melissa for not presenting the last dish, it was embarassing.
-Two quotes:
Chef Ramsey: Jen, describe the dish.
Jen: It's a duck breast...
Ha! Good one narrator. And what a twist for sending Melissa in the men's team. They are going to kill themselves by hanging or exploding their brains out like Bonnie imitated playfully to Julia."While Melissa and Rock might never get married...
-Jean-Phillippe grinning alot during the wedding planner's explanations.
Rock is an egotistic, arrogant, overconfident, misogynistic, sweating chef...I hate him.
Previews: Julia crashes when the menu shifts to fine dining. Rock is pissed off. Bonnie's pan is in a flambé mode and she loses control over the fire.

I have never liked Mellissa, and I like her even less now. I swear she sabotaged her team!! Those poor, poor guys...
On the plus side, good for Jen; she's finally starting to grow a set! I still think pulling the 'sketti out of the trash was a bit on the gross side, but I really don't see her making that same mistake twice.

This whole episode, all I could think was, "What is UP with Melissa?" Her wild, uncontrolled hair has been horrible the last 3 episodes, but tonight.....she just looks totally disheveled, like she just rolled out of bed or like she's three sheets to the wind. On top of that, she was so off in her own little control-freak world.... She can't go soon enough for me anymore, GR wanting to give her one more chance or not. Loved Bonnie's miming behind her back, though!Melissa's hair is so fugly and disgusting right now. Ramsay should do/say something to her about it.

GR looked especially yummy in the supermarket to me.
Melissa: -first half of the episode I felt a mixture of rage and STFU (especially during the food presentation to the bride and groom - shut-up...just shut-up)
-second half - glee...karma's a bitch, hon.
- ending: WTF!!! I bet it's all Aaron's fault...they had to cut him due to his "sickness" and they still had a certain number of episodes to fill so one had to be a non-elimination one.
Also, my sister once spent 2 days outside waiting in the General Admission tickets for concert tickets. I bet after all that her hair still looked better than Melissa's tonight.
My favorite part of the episode: the look on GR's face when he had to prompt them to clap for the bride and groom when they came in for the tasting.LOL!
