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
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
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."

Her brigade. How can Elise pick three chefs who support her suit, will work hard on her behalf, and do their best to make sure she wins?She can't. Elise can't run a kitchen -- not for more than a few nights. Eventually, people would start quitting just to get away from her. Those encountering her for the first time and desperate for employment might make a week. This group has been exposed to her for about a month. Openly throw it? Maybe. Cook to their fullest abilities for her? No way. Elise can't win. Just keep telling yourself that. And when this season ends, her closest contact with food serving may be passing out free samples at Costco.

That wasn't about keeping Elise: it was about getting rid of Jennifer. The males are trying a classic Survivor tactic: dump the competition, haul the goat along, wait for the jury to blast away. And up until this season, that's worked about as well on HK as poached scallops. Prior to this, Gordon has spotted the tactic virtually every time, sometimes overriding nominations and eliminating a supposedly-protected party in the back line. No alliances here, thankee, we're Scottish. (Well, he is.)But this season, Elise has been protected -- and some suspect the shield was placed by the network. When you have someone this despicable, you can hang onto them and let the viewer anger build. (Or you can make them roommates with Bugs Bunny, although to her credit, Elise is slightly less delusional than that.) The reason the Hantzhole keeps coming up is because it's the prime piece of evidence (or piece of something) for the syndrome -- but ultimately, that illness drove off a lot of viewers, and many haven't come back. Hauling Elise along could be a major mistake for the series. But the biggest one would be bringing her back next season. If that happens, the RussHell model is alive, well, and rampaging towards Tokyo: Los Angeles is still being fumigated. Defend her if you want to. I won't. And next season? They'll try to top her.

3. "RE: Elise still" |
I've watched enough reality TV to have seen this before but not to this extent. And I've NEVER wanted to put my fist through the TV more than I did last night.Yes, I know she'll never win. But I hate when they manipulate us with the editing. I'm hoping that our reward for watching this crap will be seeing Elise in the final 2 with every chef on her brigade doing everything they can to sabotage her. Yeah, Jennifer had her problems last night but Elise was a worse cook. Paul and Will said Elise was a better cook so they didn't have to face Jennifer in the finals. I hope that comes back and bites them in their asses and that Tommy wins. Because now I really don't care who wins. Not one single person in the final 4 is likeable.

For one thing, it'll destroy any suspense when the two contestants get to the door to reveal the winner But we would replace it with unreasoning dread. The previews and commercials keep trying to promise a shocker. In this season of pointless drama, dropping their primary draw-of-flies before F2 might be the most shocking thing of all. 'All right, enough with the bloody script. Let's have a competition!' If only... Gordon seems to have used all his integrity in the MasterChef kitchen. I keep listening for the supply truck. It's not coming.

Don't hate! Obviously Ramsey is looking at how she cooks and not too concerned that the others are intimidated! She acts just like Ramsey! She has proven herself and she is still there!

Executive Meddling
Hypocrite

JerkAss
Manipulative Bastard
Never My Fault
No Indoor Voice What a pretty personality picture that isn't painting. And I quote: "Elise could pretty much STAB Ramsay at this point and still survive." http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitle0th037aa

I am sorry, I didn't come on here awhile back! I am done with this show, just, like I canned "the Bachelor, the Bachelorette, Big Brother & I'm sure there are more! Reality means fact & these shows are far from it! Yes, I do believe the producers keep people like Rachael on Big Brother, Jake the snake on the Bachelor, & now this dispicable Elise, just, for ratings! Guess what......they can stick their ratings right up their.......! They keep bringing them back over & over & they show up on Survivor, the Amazing Race, etc. I, for one, am sick to death of it! They must pay Gordon a pretty penny for him to go along with it. WTH is the matter with these producers? Can't they find new & interesting people from the 300million plus living in the U.S.? Do they have to bring back the old over & over again? I am sick of it? Guess I'll be watching the cop shows this season, 'cause I am done with these phony reality shows! Now, back to Elise. That loud mouth, arrogant, know-it-all, crazy "B" should have been the first to leave! Oh I want to say more, but will be deleted! I would love more then anything to biotch slap the sh** out of her! They think people will keep coming back for this crap???????? Be my guest, 'cause I won't!

I'm envious. You figured that out in only 43 posts. Now I really feel like a dunce.
