From Zap2it:

After the red and blue teams face each other in challenges, contestants face elimination.

I cannot take one more minute of all that yelling! I can't even understand what the hell they are saying because they yell at the same time..wtf.

I hate Elise. I hate that they have to be keeping her for the drama and Ramsey does every season..It's so off putting I'm tempted not to watch anymore. It's not very enjoyable.

[whyohwhy]

This show is now dead to me. It has absolutely no credibility when it allows that loud-mouthed piece of trash to remain week after week.

Hope the boys stuff a (properly scored) wellington up her you-know-what next week.

[MsOrange21]

Elise needs to go. I swear, I'm going to break my TV if I hear her yelling about how she is the best ever and never does anything wrong. I have never wanted to beat someone so senseless before in my entire life.

I tend to watch it with closed captioning for that reason. I think whoever captions the show is sick of Elise, too : When she was crying over her challenge dish, it was captioned as "(blubbering)", which I don't think I've ever seen elsewhere.

I'm really hoping they're only keeping Elise around for another week, just because the inevitable smackdown from the guys on the blue team will be so damn entertaining. I don't think keeping Elise there over Elizabeth is exactly a travesty.

Honestly, I'm rooting for Will and that's about it at this point.

[speedroc]

The worse thing about Elise (imo) is that even though I want her to go, times like this (and there HAVE been a few) she actually wasn't the worst cook. Liz was a train wreck, and even Tommy deserves to go before her.

On a side note, during the season montage after the first ep, there was a brief clip of two of the chefs fighting. Did anyone else catch that?

If Jennifer hadn't lost her mind tonight, Elise might have been sent home.

Fabio!

Hello, I hate Elise too, but she can cook.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised when chefs from other shows show up here, but it really was a nice surprise to see Fabio in the dining room tonight.

Paul seems to be getting a decent edit. I think I'd like to see him and Will in the finals, and I might give him the edge for the win. I hope Elise gets a well-deserved smackdown next week. I don't care how well she cooks (and I don't think she's the best cook there), her personality is a major turn-off, and I would hate to see her win.

The formula of the show is getting pretty tired, though--I hate that I feel like I know everything that's going to happen. Grrr! needs to shake things up next season. And hire some nicer people who really can cook. Or are willing to learn.

I didn't see Fabio! Must watch again.

[MsOrange21]

I really like Jennifer, but I fear Elise is making her go crazy and effecting her game. I was predicting her and Will in the final, but if Elise keeps messing with her head, she could be the next to go.

[FriedButter]

Hello, I hate Elise too, but she can cook.

And yes, Elise can cook but I don't think it's all about the cooking. You need to be able to work with other people and lead them. Elise can't do either. I hated that she made it to the final 5.

On a side note, during the season montage after the first ep, there was a brief clip of two of the chefs fighting. Did anyone else catch that?

I've been waiting to see it all season. I don't think we will though because the chef's coats looked blue and white and they won't be wearing those anymore. Shame.

When she was crying over her challenge dish, it was captioned as "(blubbering)", which I don't think I've ever seen elsewhere.

That was the best part of the episode. I laughed and laughed at the bitch.

If the people from the American Humane Association wanted to be truly humane, they should have asked for all vegetarian dishes.

[getawayjordan]

Jennifer needs to stop telling Elise to shut up. She acts like she is the voice of moral authority, instead of the half-ass cook that she is. She needs to shut up herself - and go on a diet.

Tommy needs to go. He's a mediocre cook who barely seems to care, plus all those gross tatoos make me lose my appetite. - yuck!!

What's-her-face deserved to go. She gave terrible service.

So glad Elise is still in the game.

Elise FTW!!!!

Elise is a mediocre chef, but this cast is so bad they can keep her around longer because the difference between her and the rest of these schmucks is negligible. I mean, I didn't think it could get worse than Trev making F4 last season but this Tommy imbecile in the F5 takes the cake.

Loved Paul screaming out the limo, "I'm rich, biatch."

Go Will.

Fabio must have heard about the VIP dinner being on television and made a last minute contribution to get on. I haven't liked him since All Stars when he wrote that nasty blog.

I guess I'm rooting for Jennifer because I dislike her the least. It's been quite a few seasons since I really rooted for anyone. Come on casting people. There's no harm in casting a couple of likeable human beings once in awhile.

Why do the guys always act like fools when they go out on a reward? They were like teenagers in that limo. Tommy was probably just recreating prom last year with his girl but still.

I can't for the life of me remember Amanda. Everytime I see the opening credits I rack my brain but nothing.

[Holliday]

Tommy is Steve Buscemi's younger brother come to mess with us right?

The voice track didn't match the lip movements so tonight's episode was even more annoying than usual. Why is the cast of this show always unsufferable? I guess rejects can actually feel good about themselves.

Fabio was a wonderful reminder of a far more superior show.

[rkthespos]

This is totally BS - Elise should have had her butt kicked out the door a long time ago. And I believe with every fiber of my being that she deliberately sabotaged the other two. Like someone posted above, I'm damn near ready to give up on this season.

[Azlen]

In addition to Fabio, it looks like former Skinemax regulars Kim Dawson and Kira Reed were at the blue table.

[davidmf]

I can't believe Elise will win, but I travel a lot to Pittsburgh on business and to quote Grr "for the first time ever in Hells Kitchen" and I have watched since Season 1, I am going to make a point of finding out where she cooks, so I can be sure I don't eat there.

She is a Bully - plan and simple - and should have gone home last week for lying.

That being said I will begrudgingly admit the right person on the red team went home.

Hello, I hate Elise too, but she can cook.

I really don't see that. She seems to screw up at stations just as much if not more than anyone else besides Tommy and I don't remember any of her dishes that she conceived and executed were that positively received and she is so not a leader it's just ridiculous.

[gryphon]

And yes, Elise can cook but I don't think it's all about the cooking. You need to be able to work with other people and lead them. Elise can't do either. I hated that she made it to the final 5.

I really wanted them to replay Elise saying, "This is why I wasn't a team player since the beginning....." and then she went on about everyone being out for themselves. The first part of her statement really stood out to me.

Go Jennifer.

[CoyoteBlue]

This show is now dead to me. It has absolutely no credibility when it allows that loud-mouthed piece of trash to remain week after week.

Honestly, the only thing that can redeem this at this point is if the other four storm up to Ramsay's office and tell him they can't work with the crazy bitch - and he listens to them. They have to stop engaging her and freeze her out.

Hello, I hate Elise too, but she can cook.

Well, except for apples, apparently.

[mertensia]

I keep wondering if Elise is blaming production for how she is being shown or if she is such an egotist that she thinks that they are just jealous of her.

Loved how they all just stared at Tommy when all of a sudden he took command of the kitchen when it was his turn.

Best line of the night? When they were at the clothing store and Tommy tells the clerk "I'm not trying to creep you out but I'm looking at you and trying to figure out my girlfriend's size" and the clerk replies "yes, it is a little creepy."

O.K. Everyone who's ever worked in a restaurant raise your hands. Now how many of you would work where either the chef or Front of House manager was as abusive, lying bullying no talent dipstick. I've done it, and would get a serious stomach ache exactly one hour before my shift. Your life becomes a misery. Consistent greatness cannot exist in this atmosphere of frustration, fear and moments of despair. Side note: BLT Steak staff would clean Elise's clock in less than 5 minutes if she were put in charge of anything. I would pay to see her destroyed.

[ilovecomputers]

Hello, I hate Elise too, but she can cook.

I haven't seen much evidence of that. She's served her share of raw fish, undercooked calamari and disgusting fill-in-the-blank Wellingtons. If her eyebrows stretch any further, they'll pop off her forehead.

Remember last season when Nona won the blindfolded taste challenge? She went on to win. Elise won this season's blindfolded taste challenge, and I really think Grr respects that ability above just about anything. The blonde was a trainwreck, though, and she did deserve to go. Can't remember her name; the blondes all look the same to me.

Will ftw.

[jersey guy 87]

Every season I think they can't hit a new low for the contestants, and every season Grr manages to outdo himself. The red kitchen was pathetic - no teamwork (yes, Elise was trying to sabotage the others), Elizabeth going into a complete shell-shocked state, Jennifer getting totally rattled by Elise and Elise being herself. Tommy was very lucky that Will and Paul carried him to a victory because he sucked as well.

At this point it seems that Paul and Will are the only ones who stand a chance because Jennifer just fell apart.

Tommy creeping out the sales clerk was funny. I'm guessing the dress he bought doesn't come close to fitting his girlfriend.

[Raguel]

She's been a drag on the red team from the beginning. An immense distraction. She's made an already stressful experience ten times worse.

Oh and Elise? A real leader doesn't try to shunt blame onto her team members.

I wouldn't touch anything any of them cooked with a ten-foot pole.

FABIO! Seeing him was the only thing I enjoyed in the entire episode.
