"Hell's Kitchen": Fewer and fewer cooks in the kitchen

We can now say for certain that chef Gordon Ramsay is both a ferocious hunter and an excellent marksman. He demonstrated Monday night, when he took the boys to play paintball after they won the first challenge, a leftovers cookoff. Lone wolf Ramsay managed to take out Josh, Brad, and Rock without suffering a single hit.

Meanwhile, the girls cleaned the kitchen as punishment. As per usual, things were tensely silent until Bonnie cried. There was a reason, but I forgot what it was.

For dinner service, steaks were high (that's a food pun! Like on the show!). Each team had to come up with its own menu, which meant entertaining bickering within the teams as well as some novelty in terms of the cooking itself. The boys, predictably, went flashy, offering turbot with wild mushroom ragout and other foreign sounding fare. The girls did a little more infighting, and ended up with the more popular menu (diners had to order entirely from one or the other) thanks to the last-minute addition of Julia's strip steak and shrimp entrée. Cooking started; yelling ensued; people were called donkeys. It isn't that the cooking portion isn't exciting, it just seems as if the entire second half of the show would be more compelling if it had a little variety. 

Anyway, Gordon didn't like either side. Julia, the only one he doesn't hate, picked who would be nominated for the girls; the guys' choice was a team effort, with Brad eventually going. He got tossed before Bonnie in a bit of a shocker. Next week, teams will merge.
