Andie going off cracked me up!
Not cos she was going off at someone, I just never expected that from here - she sure is a fiery little rocket, eh?
I thought Gordon was in fine form that episode, he gave a few of them a pep talk which reminded me that we only see the wow and shock factor, Ramsay must have seen a different side than I had seen - I had written Numbers off, so it soooo surprised me to hear what Ramsay had to say to him.
That made me think that Blondies response may have been due to editing, ya know? I mean is anyone really that full of themselves?
I felt a bit sorry for Scott - to me he does seem to at least be trying to be a teram player. He doesn't seem to just sit back and watch other sections if they are in the weeds, I get the impression he tries to help out when he has time. I agree he is probably seeming a bit OTT, trying to make sure Ramsay notices, but again, maybe that's in the editing
I can see where he was coming from with the chicken - Anton is experienced and did say it was ready, but yeah, he should have picked that up, just the texture there when slicing should have alerted him to how undercooked that was, even if he didn't check. He's not an apprentice, and at the very kleast, must have watched a million other HKs to know that Ramsay is pedantic about his chicken. I wonder if he was doing the same thing blondie did with the scallops -purposely trying to point out a weakness in a competitor?
OMG! The Ovens!\
ROFL
I got where he was coming from too on that, cos even the same oven can operate differently, but he used the exccuse once and got shut down, and then just wouldn't put the stick down.I've had two ovens side by side operating differently, all you need is the pilot to get knocked during cleaning and that can cause different results
Plus it appears that he was told it was 14 min and not 18 mins - so he did look like a fool.
It was rochelle that really shone in the taste test, eh? Ramsay will take note of that, and blondie was one who did really badly, I reckon that may have been her nail in the coffin - I think it was Nona who sailed through on her palate - Ramsay really puts a lot of emphasis on that.
But it isn't like you can feel a wellington. to know how cooked it is. I don't know, niot in theior position, hard to say what i would do, but I do think knowing the trouble people have had with wellingtons in the past that that I would have practised before service (he has had a few days) or at least used a meat thermometer. Started checking around the 10 minutes until he new he had nailed it?
I know its not ideal, but if he cut undercooked, he could still put them back in the oven, but there is a big difference between a MR and a WD, his wellingtons whilst not grey, certainly had no pink, and they weren't moist, so really even past WD
But I do find it hard to believe that the ovens could have been different by 4 minutes - that's a 20 - 25% variance - that big a difference, it would have been noticed on everything, not just the wellies
and the prize - they could have at least chucked in lunch or a free set of frypans or sumfin.
They usually have such brilliant prizes.
hahaha laughin at Rochelle churning the uicecream with no mix in the churner - and to be caught on TV - embarrassing! I wonder how long she was churning for before she realized? I hope it was only a few minutes LOL
Imagine if she had have sat there churning for the whole 45 minutes, and then iopened the churn and opened it to find it empty!
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
