He wanted someone who's not going to drop dead within 10 years with all of that stress and is moldable. I liked her up until the last two weeks. Yuck.For those who called bullshit on Christina winning, she at least was able to run the kitchen by herself. Gordon had to sit there and tell Petrozza what to do. I also think another difference maker was that Christina motivated Matt (the problem child) while Petrozza really didn't handle his problem child, Jen, very well.

I was having a conversation with my parents when Jen started asking about the letter of recommendation. Did Chef Ramsey actually agree to give it to her? Also,
considering how she appeared on a reality show you would think that there would be a few executive chefs that might recognize her and the stuff that she did on
the show. That would so work against her regardless of what kind of letter chef Ramsey gives her.
Although I can understand why chef Ramsey wanted to hire a foul mouthed moldable young girl sounding like she is always on the verge of having a cold at any given minute, I did favour Petrozza. He was very good at what he did, and along with Bobby was one of the strongest cooks there. I think he ended on a high note and no doubt will find himself an executive chef in a restaurant better than the one Christina has to deal with. |

If Petrozza's signature dish (that he served Ramsey in the first episode) was the "head in a pumpkin", why wasn't it on his menu for the
finale? I can't remember what Christina's signature dish (though I'm guessing that it was something simple). I wish that Matt or Jen would have
completely lost it and purposely sabotaged the meals to make someone lose. Could the finalists (and/or Gordon) boot them off? Who would then have taken their
place? If the two sous chefs would have stepped in, I would have booted those two off (Matt and Jen) as soon as possible and replace them.

Gordon actually seemed polite and open when Jen was asking for the reference. Because they didn't show his response, I'm guessing he said yes. If
he'd turned her down, surely they would have shown it for the drama factor.
Petrozza, my dirty teddy bear.

As mentioned before; Gordon said Christina had more "upside".
I imagine Gordon will be going up her side any day now. |

Jen is such a dumb ass. Asking for a letter then acting up & stupid. Guess "works well with others" won't be in the letter. Maybe she'll
sell it on Ebay
Christinas menu seemed easier to manage, I think Petrozzas was probably better food, btu too hard to execute & he didn't prep it right, so he lost before he began. |

Jen was a fucking psychopath and had no right to be bitter. Everyone else (aside from Matt) was working for their finalist, but not those 2. They're trashy
humans.

LES2002 wrote:Lol, I wish I had Photoshop. Anyway, that finale kind of blew. Gordon has given some really weak reasons for his decisions this season. I love how his final decision basically boiled down to "Petrozza's too old". Yeah, more old and experienced which is why he was able to improvise on the fly like that when they ran out of prepped food for the appetizers. Oh well .. Jen's attitude is so self-defeating. She's got the attitude because she wasn't successful and wasn't hired. Yet she'll never get hired anywhere with that horrible attitude. Duh! Matt I think is just too stupid to understand that but I actually think Jen should maybe know better. This season was pretty weak overall but I stayed entertained and in the end that's what I watch TV for so it's all good. |

this is the first HK I've really watched (thanks, American Idol!) but I liked it! I am excited for next season.
I saw 2 or 3 eps of last season, I really couldn't get into it. |

I'm excited for the next season, because this one was so obviously thrown together for the strike period. I don't think the show's going down the
tubes, I think they did the best they could with what limited time they had.
And I never get tired of hearing Gordon call people donuts. |

GORDO DOES NOT CHEAT ON HIS WIFE! STOP SAYING THAT!
Can't wait for next season. I miss Petrozza. He should come back like that goofball cowboy crying dude did at the girls reward. |

I agree with you guys next season will be even better and this season was good although it left be a bit unsatisfied but meh what are you going to do?
Not sure if anyone watches Yahoo.com Prime Time in No Time but man that was totally hilarious when Frank Nicotero started freaking out when they cut to commercial seconds before they opened the door. NO YOU NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...OK MAYBE AI IS ALLOWED TOO BUT NO ONE ELSE AAAAARRGH You should see that, too funny. ITA too that was bullshit at the end there. Never do that again HK please! |

This was the first finale in which the person I was rooting for actually won. Although I didn't really like either of them all that much.
Virginia <3 Bunneh <3 For those who haven't seen Virginia's SEXY CHEF youtube cooking show, it's defo a must watch. Everything she makes looks so painfully awful and she's so delightfully retarded. <3 sexy vodka carrots <333 |

Sadly, it wasn't just thrown together because of the strike, they finished filming over 9 months ago. Agreed about never tiring of Gordon calling people names, though.

Yeah, more old and experienced which is why he was able to improvise on the fly like that when they ran out of prepped food for the appetizers. Oh well .. Improvise on the fly? I'm not sure begging Bobby to just come up with something quite constitutes improvisation on Petrozza's part. |
