Hell’s Kitchen (Season 6, Episode 13) – “4 Chefs Compete”

Down to the final four. While I don’t think there is a clear front-runner, my pick is for it to go down to Kevin and Dave, as long as Dave’s wrist doesn’t send him packing first.

This episode of Hell’s Kitchen starts with little Gordon Ramsay coming out from the office and giving the final 4 chefs a little hell of his own. If you’ve never seen any of Little Gordon’s videos, here’s one of many which can be found on YouTube and Little Gordon’s site www.littlegordon.com

After a laugh with little Gordon, big Gordon comes down and tells the chefs their first challenge is to cook a stunning vegetarian dish for 80 demanding visitors that will be coming to try them out.
The 80 visitors turn out to be little Gordon and 79 other kids. Once the chefs see who their cooking for they realize what they made is probably not the best thing for kids. The win ends up going to Tennille who made vegetable lasagna. Tennille gets a day of pampering at a spa and then gets to enjoy a sushi lunch with Ramsay at Nobu.

Back at Hells Kitchen, the other 3 chefs have to clean up the huge mess that all the kids made.

Once Tennille gets back, she joins the other 3 and they prepare to service.

Ramsay opens HK and dinner service gets started. Things are going really smooth with appetizers, but then it’s time for entrees and all hell breaks loose. Tennille just can’t seem to get a piece of fish cooked properly. Over and over again she under-cooks, or poorly cooks the fish. Ramsay takes her to the back and tries giving her a pep talk, but the damage was already done. Meanwhile, Dave is having some terrible pain from his wrist, but he keeps struggling through. He’s definitely not the quitting type.

After dinner service, Gordon lines them up in the kitchen and tells Tennille that he won’t prolong the agony anymore than he has to. It’s time for Tennille to go. Gordon sends her packing, but with a good positive message for her to not give up. After a big group hug for Tennille, the final three head up stairs for a beer. After a few minutes, Gordon phones up to the room and tells them all to come down to the kitchen.

Gordon looks at Dave and says he’s really been thinking if he made the right choice to keep Dave around with his injured wrist. Dave looks really panicked, and rightfully so, but Gordon says Yes, he’s made the right choice. Then he says there are some people here to see you. All of the various family members come in for some hugging and catch up family time. The family members leave and Gordon tells them how close they are to winning. And the episode ends with high-fives all around.
