PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Episode 9 (what? no 7 ro 8 discussion?)" |
Aug 15th was Ep 9 I think. Not many peeps watching - or just no one cares to admit it to join in a discussion! I missed one episode somewhere along the way - when the Memphis guy was sent home. Anyway, I've just about had it with Gordon & his keeping the drama going. Whatever great & famous chef he is? he's more intent on being a DAW than on finding a chef - or being fair in this kitchen. Sure the girl who he sent home had messed up a bit; but he didn't throw her out of the kitchen. He threw Alise & Carrie out. The others put them up & flat out told him the drama was destroying whatever they tried to do in the kitchen. But instead of getting rid of one, he sent another quiet meek - probably very talented - one home. If Jennifer has health issues due to stress after this is over, she should sue Ramsay.

LAST EDITED ON 08-17-11 AT 04:49 PM (EST)Heh, the eliminations are pretty much going as I thought. I know Jamie probably seemed like a surprise, but she has never appeared to be a strong cook and Gordon is looking for someone with fire and leadership - Jamie has neither. The way I see it, Gordon has identified who he thinks are candidates to do well (I'm thinking of Natalie, Will, Jennifer and, to a lesser degree, Paul) and separated them from who he knows can't win (Elise, Elizabeth, Carrie, Tommy, perhaps Paul). Jamie was in that group that he probably knows can't win, so the thinking is that of the group that won't win, he is going to eliminate those who won't fight back or show any passion first, before he eliminates those who provide the drama. You may think he's just looking for drama, but I think he's purposely keeping Carrie and Elise for as far as he can because he wants to see how each of the leading candidates handle them since they'll have to show leadership in a stressful situation. This is where the previews for next episode comes in - we're going to get a really good look at how Jennifer can handle these two. My prediction: Jennifer will show enough to keep her around to Final 4 (remember, most of her rantings in the previews were in the dorms), so I wouldn't be surprised if the next two boots are Tommy and Elizabeth, unless either Carrie or Elise really go beyond what they've already done to push Gordon's buttons. Then it's time to release the cuckoos, leaving a final four of Natalie, Paul, Jennifer, and Paul or Elise. My picks to the end: 8th - Tommy 7th - Elizabeth 6th - Carrie 5th - Elise (remember what she said last ep? "I'm Final 5!") 4th - Paul 3rd - Jennifer 2nd - Natalie Winner - Will ETA: I don't have a problem with how Gordon is running the show - it's his show and he is demanding and wants the best for his restaurants. All of the contestants coming in know that Gordon is going to bark, so they shouldn't complain. (from what I've seen, some contestants from past seasons have had nothing but good stuff to say about Gordon when they look back on their experience).

... kinda like what Gordon did with Elise and Tommy's orders. We were all way off on Natalie, a big surprise as I thought she had a lot more to show as a leader than several of the people still in the show. After all, Gordon is looking for a leader more than a chef for the position at BLT Steak.

Carrie - Competent, however the weakest cook amongst the ladies. She seems to try to give the impression of resolving issues, I'm not so sure, however her team have asked for Elise to go before her twice so she isn't seen by them as the issue. I agree with Pepe she is still in the competition as a challenge for the real contenders.Elise - As we saw last episode she can run a station extraordinarily well, unfortunately she seems to completely lack empathy. Gordon knows that once you have the team set up some people need a hug occasionally and not just a yelling at, I don't think Elise has realised this yet. If this were a cookery competition she might be in with a shout. Elizabeth - Space cadet, if it weren't for the Hawaiian = Asian, Bacon = Fish debacle I don't think I would know who she was. Must be doing a reasonable job in the kitchen, If she gets to the hotplates and does a good job all bets are off however the fact that she isn't pushing to be a leader means she will not get that opportunity. Jennifer - A bit something and nothing, I think I like her and she will stick around but I cannot see her winning. Natalie - Something about her rubs me the wtong way. She does OK in the kitchen although she has mucked up more than once. Paul - Thinks he is all that, does seem competent, willing and able to lead. Tommy - Space cadet 2. Is only still in the competition because there has always been someone worse to get kicked out, if he were to start talking in the kitchen he would have a chance, but he won't so he hasn't. Will - Thinks he is all that, does seem competent, willing and able to lead. 8. Tommy 7. Carrie 6. Elizabeth 5. Natalie 4. Elise 3. Paul 2. Jennifer 1. Will
Arrrr Cap'n!

Now that you mention it I am still a little uncomfortable with the idea of Carrie covered in chocolate sauce
