Exclamation Down to the final 3

After her pouting during the prep work and punishment, Andrea deserves to go. Did she really say "My hair hurts"?, I swear that is what I heard, if she thinks it's tough there, what makes her think it's gonna be easier while at Borgata?

It was time for Ben to go, his talk of having a big game and being better than everyone else was wearing very thin. Although I will admit, he took the whippings very well, still though, he didn't produce well enough to win. I'm still thinking back to when he served desert before appetizers during the steak episode. Probably one of the more arrogant chefs in the history of the show. Still can't hold a candle to Jen from last season for that title though.

That was cool the wedding proposal, wonder if it was planned out by FOX before the dinner service

I think it's interesting to go back whenever it gets down to the final team the show goes back and airs the positive highlights for the departing chef. Too funny with ben's argument with Danny, "You couldnt cook my "

Danny could cook Ben's better than Ben ever could.

The elimination was about flipping time. I am in amazement that either Ben or Andrea lasted this long. It may go to show what a poor pool of contestants they drew from this time around.

I'm really hoping now that the remaining donkey in the final 3 doesn't get into the final 2. It would be a tragedy if Paula and Danny didn't get to duke it out until the finish line. Of course, it would make GR's final decision an easy one. I wish him a difficult final decision then!

I think it will be a travesty if Andrea is in the final two. i was deeply disappointed she didn't walk the plank.

I'm so glad Ben is gone. He's such a big mouth, good for nothing loser. Too bad chef didn't kick Andrea to the curb along with Ben! I thought she did a better job than Ben tonight though. Ben screwed up the salad, then something else (can't remember) and seemed to provoke the ire of GR more than anyone else in the kitchen - with madam coming in a close second.

Now, at the end, when Danny was yapping and saying he is a cooking prodigy, I was busting up! I mean, if I were on that show I think I'd try to be somewhat humble and not so arrogant. I think that's why I like Paula - she exudes confidence, yet it's understated and she never toots her own horn.

Yeah, when Andrea was b*tching and moaning about how tough it was and how tired she was and how everything hurts - including her hair ... yes, she did say her hair hurt, I was thinking "Get over yourself, you donkey! Everyone's tired!!!"

Good show tonight, but how much more dramatic it could have been if the proposal would have resulted in a "No".

I can't wait for next week!!! Until then, donkeys ........

Are you two psychic??? Man, the producers at HK need to tighten up their act if viewers are able to figure out the ending a full month before the series ends. Edit more evenly, instruct Ramsay to be an equal-opportunity screamer, do something so the end results are telegraphed so early (does anyone use telegraph anymore?).

Or, better still, find a group of highly talented contestants, making it impossible to determine who the probable winner is. Neither Danny nor Paula are stand-out winners (IMO), they just didn't perform as poorly as the rest of the crew.

Anyway, Ms. Andrea. I chuckled when she said her hair hurt. hehe I've heard that line before -- heck, I think I may have even said it before. I'm sure it was meant as a joke. She just didn't deliver it well . That's been her story all season -- good material, didn't deliver it well.

Oh, and with regard to Ben! Thank goodness. It's about time. It's PAST time! Now please let him come back next week, long enough to hold the door for Andrea as she walks out.

Any guesses on who walks through the door for next week (based on the tease)? I'm torn between it being family members and the prior contestants. Someone said this would be the hardest challenge, so I'm leaning toward the prior contestants. The priors would be good critics, since they know precisely how the meals should be prepared.

Only 160ish hours 'til we know!

What struck a nerve with me when Andre was complaining (I am use to that by now) was when she said "I didn't come here for this". Meaning the cleaning which I found very odd because who does she think is going to clean her kitchen? Is she benneath doing it herself if her staff walked out? Food workers come and go even in the higher end joints why does she think she going to be just doing the fun parts?

Her mentality is why our country is in the shape it is "it's not my job" thinking stinks to high heaven with me.
