Anyway, tonight's dinner service will determine who goes to the final two. It's all about leadership, and each of them will have a turn running the pass. Will says the fact that two people will be gone after tonight makes it that much more real, which sounds exactly like what all the nimrods on The Bachelor say when the roses come out.
Anyway, James opens the restaurant, which features Rex Hudler. We're told he's a former major league ballplayer, but the ID wisely declines to explain that he's a career .261 hitter.
Paul's running the pass first, and he wants to show everyone what a big deal he is, but Tommy's doing his vow of silence thing again before serving up undercooked fish. And then Chef Scott intentionally puts shrimp instead of lobster in the capellini. Paul starts to plate it, without noticing. Ramsay has to point it out, and Paul has to go back to Scott to tell him to do it again. Other than that, he's doing well.
But then Tommy clams up again, which is more accurate than Tommy's version that he couldn't get a word out without Paul screaming, although Paul does wind up melting down, yelling at Tommy. You guys, Rex Hudler is trying to eat!
"There's a difference between asking for something and totally bitching someone out," Will explains to us. Eventually, the fish gets out, so Paul's done at the pass and it's Tommy's turn. "I'm articulate and thorough when I speak to my team on the line," Tommy tells us, but that doesn't jibe with his incoherent gibberish.
James delivers the next sabotage: a four top that includes an order of filet. Tommy calls it out, and it's Will who has to point out that there's no filet on the menu. Ramsay tells him to check the order in his mind first before yelling it out. There appears to be a minor conflict with Will as the team starts going on entrees, but no major meltdowns.
It's Elise's turn, and I'm not sure if she's going to be able to handle yelling at her fellow chefs. "I'm a great leader and I'm going to kick some serious ass because they're not even going to see it coming," she tells us.
And it's time for the next sabotage. She plates the dishes with potato purée that was supposed to be cauliflower purée; she didn't taste it beforehand. She doesn't make that mistake when Scott brings up parsnip purée instead of mashed potato, and she brings it back to him. He plays dumb, and he's a terrible actor. "Great catch," Ramsay tells her.
