Bob Morales posted:What about that poo poo where they would make people cut up potatoes and if you were too slow or couldn't make the same size pieces they sent you home They dropped that along with the audition episodes. Does anyone remember when they did elimination challenges like "Identify this cut of meat" and "How may strange ingredients can you name?"

I offer money, you'll play the man of honor and take umbrage; I ask you to do what is right and you'll play the brigand. I have no stomach for games. I'm surprised they showed people who approved of what he did. Usually, if someone saves themselves, they're a selfish coward who has no problem with throwing others under the bus. If they don't save themselves, they're a moron who put some pathetic sense of 'honor' before winning the drat prize they're supposedly trying to compete for.  Chalking this up as another telegraph that he's going to win it.

I like how everyone was like  when Cutter was trying to stand up to Joe of all people. Also Courtney's pink lipstick looked trashy as gently caress. I'm convinced Leslie is gonna be in the finale. He's annoying and an antagonist for literally everyone. You can't drop someone like that, plus he seems really competent except for when he has to do team challenges.

1st AD posted:I like how everyone was like Of all the judges to get talked back to Joe is easily the weakest. -Ramsay, 14 Michelin stars. -Elliot, bootstrapped himself up to 2 stars. -Joe, rode his momma's coattails and piggybacked world-class chefs. I'm surprised the producers are allowing it, but if the season continues with contestants making GBS threads over Joe this could be the best season ever. Also, I loved that they show Courtney dissing Willie for not saving himself. She's definitely being slowly cast as the "evil bitch" likely to last to the final 4 at least. The noise Willie made when they revealed the layered cake was hilarious. It's like the judges asked him to make a PB&J sandwich and everyone else to make a 3 star meal. pentyne fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Jul 15, 2014 |

Also MC Aussie makes a loving mockery of the American version, in case the rest of the thread couldn't tell, yet.

Dr. Abysmal posted:I always hated these things on this show, this isn't Hell's Kitchen. Like who gives a poo poo if Leslie is a bad line cook or Willie doesn't know how to expedite. Speaking as an irl line cook/expediter, I give a poo poo. Working the line means knowing how to do a specific set of things for a long shift and do them consistently well, which Leslie poo poo the bed on hard. Eggs are easy as gently caress and dude couldn't put two fried egg plates in a row that looked a.) the same or b.) good, e.g. not drenched in olive oil which has no place in diner-style egg preparations. Now Willie, I get. If you've never expedited before you have no idea how much you're in control of and how specific you have to be and how discerning you must be. To be suddenly tasked with telling a hard working person "not good enough!" is overwhelming if you're a sweet dude like Willie clearly is. Daniel was up to the task, but Willie made the right choice taking Leslie off his station. I'd have told him to go home instead of putting him in charge of burning bread. His attitude is dogshit and has no place on a line, and it speaks to his inability to lead (you know, like everything else we've seen from him all season.) Yes, it's a bullshit reality TV show, but if you can't cook you shouldn't be called a chef. The producers of the show know this. If you fail at the 101 you have no business telling anyone else what to do.

It's kinda funny, the duality of how we react to people. Here you have Cutter, who gets frustrated with constantly being in the pressure test, most of the time having to bake, biting back at Joe's suggestion that he said Gordon had a bad palette. Not that I agree with the old "everyone has different taste" line, but normally I'd be chastising him for not keeping his mouth shut, and in this case, I understand it fully. And then you have Leslie the villain back right on cue, and how everybody's just waiting for him to be a big baby when things don't go his way. Which is actually unfair, since he seems pretty docile and makes an attempt not to rustle feathers for the most part. But then when push comes to shove, he does just that, playing into their expectations and whining about the situation (not to mention laughing his rear end off at Cutter's suggestion that he go home.) Really though, I think the person who annoys me the most right now is Elise. She doesn't seem to be good at anything, even her own supposed signature dishes, and it really feels more and more like her place in the competition was a pity vote. I know we're just burning through contestants right now, but I'm starting to feel pretty bad for Cutter, knowing he's likely eventually going to be one of them.

I guess I don't really see why their competency at that job matters for what this competition is supposedly about. This one was particularly uninteresting because they didn't even have to come up with their own ideas for what to make or anything. We've learned Leslie doesn't have a future cooking eggs in a diner but that's not why he's there, dude's not looking for a job leading a brigade in a kitchen. He wants that cookbook deal and prize money. In the individual cooking competitions, which seem more relevant, he's been pretty consistently good. If I wanted to see people flounder in a restaurant environment I would watch Hell's Kitchen.

Cutter is dumb and should've been cut a long time ago, but Dan Wu and Elise Hodor are even dumber. I'm not sure Leslie is getting a bad edit really, it's clear he's good at cooking and baking and bad at teamwork and not being abrasive.

I think he's getting a bad edit in the sense that we seem to see him more reacting to poo poo than actually instigating anything. Like when Daniel started to poo poo on him and he got all huffy. I don't think he goes out of his way to be a dick, he's probably just annoying and ended up being the one that everyone picked on. I mean he's nowhere NEAR as bad as that racist obese beasts from philly (krissy, wasn't it?) last year and he seems much better at cooking than she ever was, too.
