Hell's Kitchen-Goodbye Jason

The morning is alive with the sounds of chickens, real ones. Everyone wakes up to chickens taking over the apartment, each one sporting a name tag. Bobby says he's never caught any chickens. Into the kitchen each chef holding their own chickens. Looks like from the time they caught their feathery friends to the time they assembled in the kitchen, they all had bonded with their claw footed partners. Each one of them were holding on to their chickens possessively especially at the sound of Chef Ramsay saying something about learning how to cut up a chicken into 8 pieces in 5 minutes. Each one of the chefs had the look of terror as Chef Ramsay held a poor unsuspecting chicken's head like Anne Boleyn at her beheading. Yikes! I need a warning! Thankfully, he was only kidding and instead he brought out store bought chickens and demonstrated the art of cutting a chicken. The challenge-perfect chicken cuts in 5 minutes. The girls come up with 44 perfect pieces out of 48, while the guys lose it from early on. For their punishment, the guys get to dress up like farmer John and get a dusty bus ride to a farm to pick peppers in the hot sun. The girls dress up and go to a Sunset Strip restaurant called Saddle Ranch, where they accidentally run into the Asian cry baby of last season Aaron riding a mechanical bull. How odd! Cry baby Aaron bull riding? Hey Aaron are you still cooking?
Lunch must have been uneventful, either that or the producers wanted to get in shots of the girls in the hot tub at the apartment. Probably the latter. The girls try to play mind games with the guys targeting Jason, Ben and Craig as the weak links on the guys team. I think the girls should have left their clothes on, especially Jason, way too much flesh, yuck! He has bigger man boobs than me.
Dinner service will feature actual table side cooking by Bobby and Christina. Chef Ramsay this time picks on Jason for the dessert quiz. Of course Jason can't remember sh!t and he gets sent back to memorize it. Dinner service begins and Louross goes to hunt down Jason. Jason returns to the kitchen and tells Chef Ramsay that he can't do it. Ramsay asks him if he wants to quit, but you could tell Chef didn't want him to leave that way. Hummm, last week Petrozza, this week, Jason, looks like a bunch of quitters this season, bad for ratings I'm sure. Jason manages to sputter out the desserts and is saved from quitting. It's another horrible dinner service as Bobby decides to placate the diners with the chicken he is making table side which is the only food being made and not from the kitchen. I'm wondering how Christina did at this, they never showed her at all.
Vanessa has a breakdown in the meat section and Jason is a failure at making the souffles. He tells Ramsay that he will put sugar up the sides so they will rise. Hey even I know that! After several serious head bangings by Ramsay, he calls for Christina and Petrozza to nominate two people for firing. Christina chooses Vanessa and Petrozza chooses Jason. Obvious choices and Ramsay says to Jason, you're not ready for this, take off that coat.-Single D
