The nominees are Colleen and Lacey. Ji looks awful. Lacey, why should you stay? "I woke up and I do have confidence in myself." Colleen? "I want prove to myself and to you that I'm worthy." Lacey points out that she may not be great, but she had to take over fish from Colleen. After a lot of stalling, Chef Ramsay is prepared to announce his decision. But Ji raises her hand to volunteer to leave. She feels she's only at half power, although Andrea thinks half a Ji is better than a whole Lacey or Colleen. Ji's near tears as Chef Ramsay agrees that she should go. But! She gets to keep her chef jacket, which is a really nice touch. And she gets a standing ovation from both teams. I mean, the red team was already standing, but the blue team stands up for her.

Ji is sad. Chef Ramsay praises her courage and commitment. Lacey resolves to keep her mouth shut. Ben thinks that the red team losing Ji is good for the blue team.

Next week: Sides of beef! Something called a "bitch switch"! Vomiting! Crying! Grilling! Wasted meat! Gordon yelling at Colleen! Something about "Today, I was supposed to be married!"

Montykins is having trouble thinking of Gordon as "Chef Ramsay" after seeing him sad about killing his piggies. Monty also has a blog devoted to Movie Novelizations, cleverly entitled Monty on Movie Novelizations. You can email him at montykins@gmail.com if that's your idea of a good time.
