If he's all "where's the chicken???" and you say "two more minutes, chef," he also loses his poo poo. You haven't seen that?

I'm pretty sure they only do one seating most of the time, which hopefully wouldn't take that long.

No, Gordon tweeted earlier that Kitchen Nightmares is returning on April 11, MasterChef in May, Hotel Hell in July.

I think the cute guy is good, right? Like one of the quiet ones who flies below the radar and ends up making it to the finale. And Joy. If she doesn't flip out and start drama, I think she could win.

Anton always confuses the poo poo out of me because his voice is the same as old Chef Scott's. I miss him :(

I want the part where Anton gets owned by Andi to be true, though :allears: Calling your superior a "little girl" makes it beyond clear that Anton isn't fit to work in, much less command, any kitchen with women. Or human beings. Or food.

Wow, he's really cutting them some slack by allowing an answer of "beef" to "filet mignon."
He gave them tiny cubes -- there's no way you could identify a specific cut of beef that way.

I was only half-watching last week, did he do something really bad that I missed?
He's just a permanent rear end in a top hat, and last week they teased a showdown with him calling Chef Andi a little girl who couldn't boss him around or something. I think Gabriel is going (it's a miracle he's lasted this long), but I want to watch Anton put in his place hard.

I think Scott is really good, we should see him in the final few. Joy is looking like a likely winner. Rochelle should go farther than people are saying.

Keshia, Gabriel, Jason, and Anton are more than ready to go.

And yeah that was a super inadequate rear end-handing. He saved the worst stuff for interviews (because he's all mouth) so they didn't have a good reason to kick him harder. But Jesus, the thought of that dude in charge of a kitchen. Or anyone, really.

The fix is in but at least Ahran called it out for what it was, even though she seemed really intimidated by Joe challenging her, "well why do you think there's favoritism on our part?"

She should've just blurted out because she's a telegenic white girl, would've loved to see his reaction to that.
The one thing Joe is good at is being a tremendous loving douchebag. He would've shaken his head and said "And you're saying you're not pretty. Hope you can cook" while walking away.

I am legit surprised Leslie didn't suck, let alone that he did well. Mr. Malibu making donuts?

He's not even remotely known for his cooking. I mean I'm sure he can cook better than me, but he's introduced as a "restaurateur" and even then it's because of his mom. The most that he's actually publicly proven is that if you give him a shitload of someone else's money, he can invest it in good restaurants. That's what he's known for.

e: or did you mean Mr. Malibu :downs: In that case I'm mostly surprised he blew everyone away at donuts and not at, I don't know, kale smoothies.

I don't remember what happened, but I thought there was bad blood between them going in, so his mispronunciation of her name seemed deliberate (to her and to me). Then he was just a huge rear end in a top hat with the world's most sarcastic apology, saying she had to respect him when he didn't give enough of a poo poo to get her name right, she had to say please and thank you when he'd been barking orders at her for half the challenge . . . just a total rear end in a top hat. If she were a little older she hopefully would've stayed cool enough to respond instead of getting so angry and frustrated she cried, but I totally understand why she did.

So according to the commercial I saw last night for MasterChef, "for the first time in history someone presents the judges with a dish that they didn't cook."

How the gently caress would that even work out? Someone helping someone else? Did they find a Lean Cuisine in the MasterChef pantry?
Given the usual edits, it's going to be a raw salad or a ceviche or something.

Hardcore aerial work is insane, whether it's pole or silks -- like it should seriously be an Olympic sport.

IIRC Courtney actually billed herself as a "stripper" or "exotic dancer" for the first few episodes before switching to "aerial dancer." That makes me think it's not the most legit claim.

My favorite was when the GM was all, "I don't have hotel experience, but I was a restaurant manager so it's not too different," and Gordon got pissy because it's sooooo different that restaurant->hotel experience doesn't translate.

Meanwhile Gordon is doing Hotel Hell. . . .

The boxed pasta was obviously also part of the competition since it was in the pantry. Good boxed pasta isn't bad anyway, I think it's more that using it when you have an hour is laziness or just not taking the opportunity to shine. I don't think it would even be possible to make pasta from scratch in that half an hour, since the dough has to rest. I just don't think Barilla is automatically make or break -- depends on the rest of the dish. For what it's worth, Joe Bastianich's Eataly is packed with every possible shape of Barilla.

When he was a kid, his mom was a cocktail waitress there. I definitely think this is when he developed his weird fixation.

When he was in his 30s and the owner was in her 60s, they married. She died, he got all her money and the hotel.

Now he's dating the hotel's general manager, who's also 30 years older than him.

The most interesting/telling/crazy thing to me is that it's not like he found a girlfriend somewhere else and installed her as the GM. He started dating this one, who had been at the hotel since the early '70s. So she was super aware of all this poo poo, she probably knew him as a kid, she definitely had a front-row seat when he got involved with the owner, and she still got in on that. That's what I really want to know about. "Oh honey, you're my second choice among all the women 30 years older than me who work at this hotel."

Like later in the show the other brother, when asked how much money he made, was all "oh I uh, made a couple hundred bucks" and his wife lied and said $500.
Ha, I saw that differently. I thought stoner brother was being like "uhhh some" and his wife was actually on the ball enough to know. $500 would only be 34 admissions, which looked legit from the number of dancing weirdos we saw. I can't imagine there's a ton of overhead there either.

Nothing has come out about the Joy thing afaik, but I hope we get the dirt someday.

Leslie is definitely the jerk of the season. "He antagonizes people" is a quick route to being the bad guy / the disliked rear end in a top hat.
