Anyone surprised that Mousey Melissa got booted?

How did you like Rock's tirade? I think that is why he was taken to the photo shoot to pick up the garbage.

The men's team was dreadful.

I wasn't surprised by Melissa and was glad to see her go. Her elitist and bit*hy attitude was irritating. As far as Rock is concerned, I was a little surprised, not by his reaction but by how long his tirade went on!

I have hopes that Julia will win!

I was SO glad Melissa left. She only seemed good at bossing people around-when it came to actualy cooking in a resaurant she fell flat.

I'd like to see Julia win too. Think she just needs to reign in her emotions some more and handle the critisizism.

Love the show

I agree I too was glad to see Melissa go- and Rock can
you say childish!!!!!! I also would like to see Julia win I
believe she has the right attitude.

ITA about Julia. I was surprised to see Gordon railing on her so much. She must have been exhausted because she was beginning to fall apart.

Buck up, Julia! We're rootin' for ya!

I'm glad Melissa is gone as well. She drove me nuts!

I felt so sorry for Rock having to go the photo shoot to pick up the trash. That was way uncalled for in my opinion. But good TV!

I really thought Josh should have gone before Brad.

I can't believe Bonnie wanted rabbit on the menu when she's never cooked it. I was glad to see Gordon ask Julia what she'd like to see and then allowed the steak and shrimp. I think that was one thing that kinda saved them.

How did you like it when Julia pulled the fish carcas out of the box and asked, "Where's the rest of the fish?" I thought I was going to hurt something because I was laughing so hard.

Bonnie kinda messed up on receiving the order.

Do you think they plan the outings based on which side wins? While I would love it, I don't think those ladies would have liked paintball.

Mare, I wondered the same thing about the rewards. I don't know if the guys would have really enjoyed the photo shoot either.

What do you guys think, is Rock going to get booted next week. The sneak peak seemed to indicate that he POed Gordon and then at the end it shows him with tears down his face saying he's a big disappointment to his family?

I happen to like Rock.

I am hoping it boils down to Rock and Julia. Bonnie is too whiney for me and Josh messes up too much. I saw the teaser for next week, but didn't get the impression that Rock gets booted. Maybe thrown out of the kitchen for the night????

Of course, I can't decide who I like better, Rock or Julia, but I am partial to Julia because of her non-culinary backgroud. And she really studies her butt off to keep up!!!

Yeah Julia is cool. She doesn't have an attitude.

I think she does have an attitude. However, it is a great attitude and an incredible willingness to learn. I hope her kids (if she has any) see her as one determined lady.

Well you know what kind of attitude I meant.
I hope she wins! She sure impressed Ramsey with her steaks and everyone else.

New here.. hope it's okay to join in the convo...

I love ****'s Kitchen!

But honestly, I don't think any of them have what it takes to run one of Chef Ramsey's restaurants.

I like Julia, but infortunately, I don't think she has what it takes. I just don't think she knows all there is to know about food. The prize they're all going for is a fine dining establishment..... she didn't know how to cook scallops, how can she run a fine dining kitchen?

NH. Everyone is welcome here.

Yes, Fit. I knew exactly what you meant.

ITA that Julia probably doesn't have it. However, she is giving more effort than most. Probably because she has so much to learn. I can't see her running any restaurant that she owns. Perhaps management for someone else.

The very first winner didn't take the restaurant. Gordon offered him a chance to work and train for a year in one of his own restaurants. The guy took it. I forgot what's happened.

Someone, I think on this board, was in Vegas and ate at last year's winner's restaurant. Apparently it left a bit to be desired.
