Hell’s Kitchen – Raj is Attacked by His Team

Unfortunately, again, last week’s teaser turned out to be nothing at all. All the commotion we saw with all of those ambulances was just a ploy to get us to watch this week. It turned out that the chefs had to prepare breakfast for 100 EMTs; and apparently they all arrived in ambulances. Weird. It’s become somewhat of a joke around our house – “the most outrageous episode of Hell’s Kitchen ever” or for the first time ever on Hell’s Kitchen”. We’ve heard those teasers so many times that we shake our heads whenever we hear them.
During the breakfast service, Chef Ramsay was hoping that both teams would be able to focus on teamwork. The Red Team did pretty well overall; the women finished service and had to go to the men’s side to help finish theirs. From the men’s point of view, that’s humiliating! As punishment the men had to polish stemware and clean both kitchens. During the punishment they were all focusing on Raj and attacked him exclusively. He eventually had enough and got in Trev’s face, “you’re picking on me in a vicious fashion.” Even when he’s pissed off, he can still seem funny to me! He went on to call the rest of his team a “bunch of snakes”. Prior to dinner service he boasted to the camera about his cooking skills, “Google my name.” Well, I did! Here’s what I found. At dinner service, in was in over his head and a lot of his food was not fit to serve. That didn’t stop him from enjoying it! Eat up Raj! The Red Team went on to lose the challenge and put Emily and Sabrina up for elimination. In classic Ramsay fashion, Raj was sent home instead. He definitely was out of his league, but I really like watching him. I’m going to miss him.
In the next episode, the chefs had to make ravioli from scratch, go head-to-head and have Chef Ramsay decide which dish he liked the best. Interesting tidbit: a few weeks ago my wife made ravioli from scratch and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks baby!! The men went on to win the challenge thanks to Trev. The rest of the Blue Team doesn’t respect Trev as a chef, so it was nice to see him do well. During the reward Trev let his team know that he’s not happy with the level of teamwork – he feels like he’s not really included. I think him telling his team the way he did will only alienate him from them. On the Red Team, Sabrina flat-out admitted to us that she’s not a team player. Are you kidding me? What do you think Chef Ramsay is looking for? It’s moments like these that make me wish that Chef Ramsay watches the segments where the chefs talk to the camera. He could learn so much. Heck, if it was my show, I would!
During dinner service Boris decided to wash dishes as his team was struggling. Needless to say, Chef Ramsay was not happy. He went on to comment on Boris, “What a Muppet.” At that moment, I thought – “I could see him as a Muppet.” Once again, the women had to help the men during dinner service. Only this time, both teams got kicked out of the kitchen and Chef Ramsay finished with the help of Scott and Andi. Each team nominated 2 chefs for elimination and Louis was sent home. As the episode ended, we heard from Sabrina that she was going to make life Hell for the rest of her team. Yeah right, we’ve seen this before haven’t we? This is just another tease that will amount to nothing. I could be wrong though. Tune in next week and we can find out together.
