Aaron leaves, and the women ride the mechanical bull. Then they concoct theories on how to psyche out the men and pick them off one by one. That's about it.
In the fields, it is hot. Ben throws a pepper at Craig. Jason complains. Then they come back.
Okay, so here's the women's Grand Plan: Corey, Christina, and possibly Shayna are in the hot tub, and they call Ben to join them. I'm not sure what was supposed to happen next, because Ben is onto them and their feminine wiles. He will not be lured! However, Jason is happy to strip down and get into the hot tub, although I don't think he knew they were going to put that Low Rider bassline up as the accompaniment. ["Has to be mentioned that he clumsily tripped getting into the hot tub. What a doofus." -- Angel]
So once Jason's in the hot tub, the women ply him with chicken and beer (temptresses!) and get him to tell them what's going on with his team. So now they know that people aren't happy with Craig, but I still don't see how that's going to translate into a win, you know? It seems like they'd be better off practicing their risotto, although I can see how that would make for less compelling television.
The next day, Ben is furious with Jason for spilling the beans, and it now seems like people aren't happy with Jason, so the Craig thing is old news. Ben also wants Jason to work "like a [bleep] Comanche". And I'm not sure how that would work. Judging from Wikipedia, the tradition Comanche diet doesn't really seem suited to a modern kitchen. You'd need an open fire, for one thing.
Pre-service pep talk: Chef Ramsay would like a full service. As would the guests! Tonight, there's a special dish: escalope of chicken with peppers, capers, and crème fraîche. The blue team will continue to be punished for losing the challenge because Bobby will be cooking table-side for his team, while the women get Jean-Phillipe. I suspect that Chef Ramsay is purposely taking Bobby out of the way so he can keep an eye on the chefs he thinks are worse, but that's just guesswork.
Jason is on desserts, and that means it's time for someone on the men's team to be put on the spot. Jason, name the desserts! He gets three or four before he dries up completely. He's sent upstairs to cram, but (since it'll be a couple hours before desserts are needed) Chef Ramsay goes ahead and tells Jean-Phillipe to open Hell's Kitchen now.
