Ooh, now the description calls it a lavish prize!
Let's see if Paul can come back from the last episode. Jonathon describes getting called up for elimination as Ramsay needing to point out some weaknesses in him for him to work on. I like that attitude. After the elimination, we have more drunken shenanigans, this time from Krupa. Fortunately not Soup Shenanigans. Unfortunately, she's hungover for the team challenge. We meet a couple of beer sommaliers...beermaliers?...and see what they would do with different ingredients. Jonathon says, "You had me at baby back ribs." Each dish for the team challenge has to involve beer, but as Dave points out, the challengers are taking rather large "samples" of the different beers. Tommy points out to Jonathon to "think of colors," which Dave notes is surprisingly insightful as Tommy is trying to be ridiculous in impressing the blond judge.
Krupa manages to flambe her beer...not sure if she was trying to do that or not. The girls have to drop one dish since they have one more member than the blue team, and for once they drop someone other than Carrie! They do rank Carrie as the last one to make the cut, but Ramsay calls her dish the best one she's ever made. Paul's dish (ranked last) involves Heffe-why-zen broth that makes one of the tasters choke on the bitterness. Jonathon, if you have to tell them that it's a tasty dish, it's not. Elise gets the point for the red team and is surprisingly not bitching about being ranked 4th out of 6. Tommy also can't pronounce Heffeweissen...do guys seriously know less than I do about beer?? I know I'm married to Dave, but still! Blue team wins, red team looks pissed, and Tommy thinks he's all that. Then he makes us really wonder. Ramsay tells the blue team he has a great day planned for them and asks if they like speed. Tommy asks, "Meth or coke?" Dude, I didn't even think that and I worked in addictions! (course, I had crack addicts, not coke addicts, but I never heard them call coke "speed")
Well, we find out why Elise cries. Because she lost. Seriously. And then she's standing there watching her team unload a truck of ice and saying she's not going to. Carrie lifts 2 bags and breaks one open while Elise calls her a dum-dum. First of all, maybe she wouldn't have to lift 2 bags at a time if you would do your part, bitch! Second, YOU'RE NOT FIVE YEARS OLD!!! First crying about losing and then calling someone else a dum-dum?? That's a frickin lollipop, not an insult!
Meanwhile, the blue team gets to drive Indycars, helped by Arie Luyendyk (which Dave notes, "Sweet! They got one of the legends!") and a female not named Danica Patrick. Paul, of course, proceeds to try to hit on the female driver, asking where she's from (Switzerland) and noting "I'm a big fan of your cheese." Um, flirting FAIL.
Elise refuses at first to do anything to help with lifting kegs, and the team confronts her in the evening about not helping. Elise says she's been busting her ass too. Elise, you haven't been busting anything except the nerves of everyone around you, including the viewers! Elise tells us that she's not here to make friends...yes, girl, you've told us that every damned episode. She does say that she'll try to be more helpful, and she does offer to help others during prep. We'll see how long this lasts, but might as well enjoy it in the meantime. Yet again the guys are determined to bounce back and have a good dinner service.
And so dinner service begins. Dave sees that they have Andre Carter, who actually played football, and Matt Leinart, credited as a "Professional Football Player" but better known for his flings with Paris Hilton and getting paid boatloads to hold a clipboard (no, Dave's not jealous at all, and that has nothing to do with Paris Hilton...he likes girls with a little more meat on their bones and a little more under their hair). "Credited as" a football player? What is this, IMDB? There's a special tonight of Belgian ale-steamed mussels...might have to try that. We see that in prep Carrie told Elise she needed to drain her salads...she didn't bother and then tried to throw Carrie under the bus when she puts up a soggy salad. Well, that was short and sweet.
Natalie wastes over 30 scallops in trying to get a good order...Dave and I have done better than that with lesser-quality scallops! Elise steps up again to expedite things...we still haven't seen if she's going to continue helping in any way besides bossing people around. Once the blue team gets to entrees, Jonathon blames Tommy for the pastry in the wellingtons still being raw...even though they apparently worked on them together! Dave says, "So, the moral of the story tonight: when doing prep, pay fucking attention! Everything that's gone wrong is prep problems (except Natalie and the scallops)."
Krupa goes from raw meat to overcooked meat, and I have a feeling she's going home tonight. Jonathon's next to give us an overcooked wellington. Why bring it up when you know it's overcooked? Natalie and Jonathon get sent out of the kitchen, and Jonathon quits and walks off telling Ramsay to kiss his ass. Well, that may keep Krupa from going home, even with Ramsay not paying attention to the "I quit"! Jonathon complains about the prep, but it being overcooked is his fault just as the raw sea bass is Natalie's fault.
Both teams lose and have to nominate 2 people. Jonathon, Natalie, Elise, and Krupa. Red team might nominate Jamie instead for issues with fish, but I think they'll put Elise up instead. The red team put up Jamie, and Elise makes a face when Carrie hesitates before saying it. Jonathon digs a hole for himself as he says he wishes he had defied Ramsay when sent out of the kitchen. I think it's between him and Krupa at this point. He hates people shutting down more than he hates backtalk, because he sends Krupa home. Dave wonders what is up this year with the random applause for people when they're eliminated...it just seems wrong.
