Dave is your season 6 winner of Hell's Kitchen

Tonight it was between Dave and Kevin for the winner of Hell's Kitchen and Dave won it. Both Dave and Kevin had a decent final dinner service but I think the problems on Kevin's team cost him the victory. I would have been happy for either of them to win as I think both are strong chefs and either would have been deserving of the win.

What Dave went through to win was amazing. He did so well with only one arm and his determination was inspiring. Some things in life are not easy and you have to deal with the pain and Dave more than dealt with it.

Kevin was a little bit cocky at times but he has the skills to back it up. Sometimes I don't think he was in it to help the team but to win, you have to think of yourself too.

Overall, it was a very entertaining season with some highlights being Joseph's bitch fest, Tennille's comeback and heart, Robert coming back for another season, Van's getting into Jean-Phillipe's face, and more. This season also seemed to have more injuries than usual seasons. I couldn't help but grimace whenever they showed Kevin rolling his ankle and it was tough for me to watch Andy cut his fingertips on the mandolin. Ouch.

I hope everyone enjoyed my blog and I hope you keep visiting it and my Hell's Kitchen Fan's website (www.hellskitchenfans.com). I did get a little lazy during the end of the show and my blog posts could have been better but I thank everyone for contributing and no thanks to the person that made links in their posts to a site with spyware on it. That is why I had to turn on post moderation but i'm glad that didn't stop people from posting.

Thank you,
Peter

Good night Tennille

Tonight was the night when Tennille got eliminated from Hell's Kitchen. During the challenge, she won and got to spend a pampered day getting a makeover and eating at Nobu. Did that make her soft during dinner service? It appeared so as she crashed and burned while making the fish dishes.

During the show, a mini version of Gordon Ramsay provided some comic relief. That was very funny and for the challenge, the chefs had made vegetarian dishes for a pack of kids. Tennille won the challenge and Ariel, Dave and Kevin were left to clean up the huge mess left from the kids. And did anyone catch a glimpse of the werewolf, Jean Phillippe? The man needs to shave that hairy chest! lol

Now it is down to the final three, Ariel, Dave and Kevin. I think it will be between Ariel and Kevin. Dave has heart and determination with only one arm working but it will probably do him in.

Suzanne is finally gone

Tonight Suzanne finally got sent home so that leaves Ariel, Dave, Kevin and Tennille as the final four. All five chefs were on the hot seat during dinner service and Gordon sent Suzanne home for being up for elimination too many times and for her ability on the line.

For the first time that I can remember, Gordon really tore into Kevin this week because he overcooked the rice for the risotto. But then again, everyone got their share of abuse for good reasons. Raw chicken and fish were sent to the pass more than once but hey at least it looks like no food got sent back. When Gordon was pissed and said, "bleep me", "bleep me", "bleep me", "bleep me", that was hilarious.

The punishment tonight was funny to watch but not fun for the chefs as they had to do cleanup on a street, picking up trash from the grassy hill. Tennille was complaining and it was driving Dave crazy. That was funny to watch Dave complain about Tennille's complaining.

It's down to the final four and I think the next one to go is either Ariel or Dave. It could go down to Kevin and Tennille for the final. How about that? I know some people don't like Tennille but she works hard and is entertaining to watch but does she have what it takes to win it all?

Two for the price of one!

Tonight thankfully there were two episodes of Hell's Kitchen in a row since last week they had that awful More To Love show on.

Tonight, Sabrina got the boot in the first show and Van got kicked off in the second show. Sabrina was a weak link that needed to be eliminated and Van screwed up on the fish dishes two nights in a row to send him packing.

So now it is down to the final five and it seems to me that the easy choice for elimination next time would be Suzanne. Tennille has been very strong and even though many people don't like her because of her loud mouth, I think she has shown heart and determination. I however think it will come down to Dave and Kevin for the winner. What do you think?

Andy is no longer handy!

On tonight's episode of Hell's Kitchen, Andy got sent home. During the men's punishment when they were prepping for both kitchens, Andy cut his fingertips badly on a mandolin. He had to be sent to the hospital and he made it back to dinner service and was completely lost. He didn't know the menu and had a difficult time working with only one good hand. I have worked in the restaurant industry and I have seen people getting their fingertips cut off and it's not pretty. I couldn't watch when it happened on the show. Thankfully they didn't show it too much.

For tonight's challenge, the teams had to make four different crepe dishes (breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert crepe dishes) in 20 minutes. That was a very difficult challenge and both teams didn't have great luck with making crepes but they did end up getting all the dishes done. The highlight of the challenge was Dave's desert crepe and when Gordon Ramsay said it looked like a plate of diarrhea. That was hilarious! Dave does have great potential but that dish did look horrible. The women won and they were off to a nice French restaurant and for mime lessons. The mime lesson I could have lived without but the French food looked phenomenal.

Dinner service was a mess for both teams and Gordon sent off Andy along with Sabrina and Suzanne, leaving Ariel, Tennille, Dave, Kevin and Van to finish the dinner service. All those remaining five were strong with dinner service. Van was a little bit in the background but he didn't do anything bad that we could see.

At elimination, Ariel sent up Andy and Suzanne and Gordon sent Andy home. After that, Sabrina joined Suzanne and for a second, it seemed there might have been a double elimination but Gordon moved Suzanne to the men's team for next episode. So now it will be Ariel, Sabrina and Tennille against Dave, Kevin, Suzanne and Van. Next week's episode it looks like Dave injures himself again and he may not be able to continue. Knowing how the previews make the shows look worse than they are, I don't think Dave will be sent home.

I'm going to take you by surprise and make you realize, Amanda...

This week, it was Amanda got sent home. The red team sent up Suzanne and Sabrina for elimination but Gordon Ramsay also brought up Amanda for elimination.

Apparently, the editing for this weeks show was bad as a bunch of people commented that they saw Tek on this weeks show but she was sent home on the August 11th show. Once I see some evidence of this, I will post it on the site. Supposedly there is video of it on YouTube.
