In the continuation from last week, Denine and Sterling now have to live and work with the same fellow competitors that was willing to eliminate them from the competition.
So the atmosphere at Hell’s kitchen was tense as it is and not to mention there was nearly a run-in between Steve and Sterling behind the scenes. But Chef Ramsay had found a solution to help ease things. He arranged a challenge that was going to essentially force the chefs to lean on each other. And after the poor showing from the night before – the Blue Team desperately needed to learn a better way to communicate rather than fall back on yelling at each other.
The Communication challenge was that each of the chefs had to wear a new jacket that had a unique recipe on it that they were required to cook to perfection. And seeing as the chefs couldn’t read the recipes themselves – naturally their fellow team members had to be the one to read the instructions and then tell them all about the preparation.
The Red team were quick at identifying the recipes and leaving the chefs to it. While the Blue Team actually read out the instructions. Surprisingly, Sterling ended up coming to Steve’s rescue during the process and helped him the guy that was prepared to fight make a pretty good frittata. Not that they’re suddenly BFFs, but this is a good start for the Blue team.
The Blue team had previously let grievances and attitudes get in the way of their dinner service and this week they redeem themselves by working together to win the challenge. However the Red team still had some issues to work through. After they lost their challenge, Denine started to display an attitude problem. When her team had the grunt work of grinding up coffee beans – she ditched them.
According to her, she redeemed herself at the challenge and it wasn’t her fault they lost. Then when she did decide to grace her teammates with her presence – she almost caused a kitchen fire.
[9:02:02 PM] Kristine Francis: By time the dinner service rolled around, both teams got their act together and started out strong. Appetizers were coming out of the kitchen at a nice and steady pace. In fact the only problem that seemed to be on the horizon was the individual cooking station out by the tables. Roe was representing the Red team and she had burned the meat right in front of their VIP table. And Fernando was representing the Blue team when he kept getting lost because he didn’t know how to differentiate the table numbers.
Then the dinner service got interrupted. The Blue team messed up on not one but two stations and so Ramsay called a halt. He yelled at them to get their s*** in order. And to be fair them, they were able to calmly re-group. They talked it out amongst each other and returned to the kitchen hoping to do better.
Although, they didn’t!
Bryant had undercook the fish so many times that after Ramsay realized the other man will never be able to pull it together – he dismissed the entire fish station which included Sterling who wasn’t the one messing up. And then Frank soon followed them because he kept screwing up at his station.
Though while the Blue Team was losing chefs at an alarming rate – it was the Red Team that got dismissed as a whole. So it was only the Blue team that finished their dinner service.
Later, the ladies had to put up two people for elimination and during the nominee process – Kalen who had failed spectacularly at the meat station tried to blame Denine for her mistakes. In her whitewash version, Denine refused to help her even when she asked for help. But the reality, backed up by the footage, showed that Denine offered Kalen assistance and was repeatedly turned down.
In the end both Kalen and Denine were put up for elimination and Ramsay chose to go with Kalen. Denine was just up for elimination way too many times and he had gotten fed up with giving her another chance. But something happened afterwards that put the elimination on the backburner. One of their own had felt dizzy and needed medical attention.
Has the competition become too much?!?
THE END!
