Oh yeah she was definitely the one who hosed up the hardest on timings, but the leadership stuff just seemed to come out of left field and when you look at who is left it seems insane. Show still makes me hungry for Wellington though.

They kind of had to go based on the service, but the edit had some drat decent feinting at a much better candidate from the winning team.

Cracks me up that Michelle thinks she's not an issue but has been pretty stale the whole season.

It's been 17 season of Hell, there have been goofyness, Drama, sadness, and excitement. But this time, we'll be in cartoon form. It will be heroes vs villains.

Bluey: I'm getting sick and tired of you.

Indigo: Are you still over this poo poo?

Bluey and Stocking: YES

There will be drama.

Pranker(In anger): How could you betray us like this?

Fighting

Garb-Baige: I wanna do it.

Anton: I'll do it.

Garb-Baige: Let's not get in this poo poo.

Tragity.

Matt: Hey fucker, shut your poo poo face.

Amy: Go cry home to mommy.

Matt starts acting like a spoiled brat and fake crying like in season 4.

Stocking is seen hugging a sobbing You/The Viewer.

Sonata: Chef is gonna kill us all.

And let's not forget Gordon.

Chef Ramsey: What the gently caress are you doing?

Werewolf: It's not my fault.

Chef Ramsey: GET OUT.

Get ready cause this is Cartoon Hell's Kitchen: Heroes VS Villains.

I don't think they even showed them bonding at all?? I want to see some wild-rear end theories on how they bonded so intensely that they're crying their asses off, not about leaving, but about having to compete against each other.

Yeah, Michelle beat Ben in the finals. As much as it felt like another iteration of the doofus (Barbie) sinking the loser, I do think she was more consistently strong anyway.

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
If Ben had tossed Robin instead if Gordan, or even if had refused to let her back in, I think he might have won it.

I really wanted to see Nick v Michelle in the final though.

Seeing Elise crying was loving cathartic. I hate her more than Lacey and Sabrina combined and that's saying a lot.

I would have preferred Nick to win, as he actually has a personality. But Ben and Michelle were both relatively non-toxic so it was all good. Plus: Elise crying.

I recently found out that all the past HK seasons are streaming on Amazon Prime and rediscovered the joy that was Lacey.

Was Waffle House Julia the one in an early season that made it to the final four and Ramsay said he was paying to send her to culinary school? I feel like it was in the first episode her team had to fry quail eggs, wouldn’t let her do anything because they turned their noses up at Waffle House but it turned out she was the only one that could do it without breaking all the drat yolks?

Was that also the season with Rock? That guy was a loving trip. He flipped out in a lobster challenge because someone beat him with lobster bisque and he went on this ‘Lobster soup?! Lobster soup?! I bring originality!’

Gotta agree that if Robin got tossed, Ben would have won. Why would you want her over Jockey anyway? Nick got robbed though.

I think it's hard to get people to do it and it's really just a more expensive version of Kitchen Nightmares, so probably not. Wasn't the last "season"' just 3 episodes?

Come to me .... and live forever.
Finally watched the finale. I think Michelle got pretty lucky. She did the worst on the pre-finale service and got to stay due to Gordon pushing three to the finale this time (which wasn't really the case as two still did the final service.) Her five dishes didn't seem to blow him away as much as Ben and Nick's did, and outside non-culinary judges determined who went through. And then during the actual service, she was flailing as a leader, to the point Gordon took her in the pantry. If it hadn't been for Robyn crashing, Ben would have looked better.

But then again, Michelle is in her 20s and Ben is in his 40s. Gordon always seem to favor youth and longevity in that respect, like he did in season 4 when he picked Christina. She was the least offensive chef on the red team, though that's not exactly hard to do.

Masterchef already feels overly and intentionally abusive towards its contestants, so the Jr version feels like straight-up child exploitation to me.

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!
This is a spoiler about this week's episode but I also don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment of this week, so this downer news about one of the kids is in spoilers too

Ben and California’s Gracie Howard, who was afraid to cook the lamb, were sent home.

“‘MasterChef Junior’ has been one of the best times of my life here. I got to meet amazing friends and it was a good opportunity to learn a lot more about cooking. It’s awesome to have made it this far,” Ben said in his exit interview.

What viewers may not know is that months after filming, Ben’s father shot and killed Ben’s mother in their Gary home before killing himself. Northwest Indiana community members have rallied around Ben, 11, and raised money for his education since the September 2017 killings. He was in high spirits last month when he told the Tribune he hopes to make and sell baked goods soon. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/ct-ent-masterchef-junior-ben-watkins-20180323-story.html

I’ve been watching Masterchef S8, and I feel like this is one of the first cooking/baking competitions where I find more of the competitors are charming or adorable rather than irritating.

Except Jeff. That guy can gently caress off. They’re down to the final eight and I really hope he gets booted on this truffle challenge.

I feel like Dino, Jason and maybe Daniel will make the finale. (Don’t spoil it for me!)

E: aww, Gabriel got cut, but they’re gonna pay for his culinary school and a job offer in NOLA. :3:

Last night I dreamed I was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen. Except for some reason the set was the tiny kitchen of this condo I lived in back in the 90s. The challenge was the one where there are four domes and each time a bell rings you have to go grab the next ingredient; I kept not hearing the bell ring so I always ended up with the ingredients no one wanted (I couldn't even tell what some of them were and Ramsay wouldn't tell me). Then my fish broke in half because I had no spatula and had to turn it with a spoon. I woke up before Ramsay could taste what I'd made, which was just as well because it looked awful.

If it was filet we would probably assume it's French and leave it off. If it's just the regular word fillet we say the t.
