"We're in hell! ...hell, ...hell," Thank you, Fox Post Production team, for pressing the echo button on Bonnie when she announced that the Hell's Kitchen contestants are in hell.
The next morning Chef Ramsay gathers the chefs to begin a new day of torment and he starts by reminding Jen to stay out of the bins and asking Vinnie if he had nightmares of himself, Chef Ramsay and a box of quail eggs. He tells everyone that their palates are lacking and that today they will be having a tasting challenge. Herr Narrator explains that each chef will be blindfolded and asked to identify three different foods by tasting them. It's Red against Blue and the team with the most correct answers wins. They did something like this on the first season of Top Chef and I never realized that taste depends so much on sight. Apparently it's extremely difficult to identify food when you can't see it. Weird. First up are Brad and Julia. They are both blindfolded and fit with headphones blaring music so that Chef Ramsay can announce to everyone else what is going into their mouths.
To make sure the headphones are serving their purpose, Chef Ramsay calls Brad a sack of bleep and looks for a reaction. Satisfied that they can't hear, he announces American cheese and sticks a square into both mouths. Julia gets it, but Brad thinks it's cheddar. They both get fried chicken right, but when fed a boiled carrot, Brad thinks it's papaya and Julia thinks it's a radish. The score is Women - 2, Men - 1. Chef Ramsay tells Brad he's just been beaten by a Waffle House chef. Take that!
Next up are Painfully Beautiful Melissa and Rock. They start with hard boiled egg yolk, which Rock identifies but Melissa thinks is a potato. Boiled potato is actually the next item and they each get it. Venison, however, stumps them both.
It's neck and neck at 3 all. Next up are Josh the sous chef and Bonnie the nanny. Bonnie can hear through her blaring music and so her headphones need to be adjusted. They taste lobster that Bonnie thinks is langoustine and Josh thinks is a scallop. Chef Ramsay is disgusted. Next is bok choy, which I couldn't identify in a million years, even with all five senses in tact. Bonnie confessionals that ever since she was little she liked to sample weird things and loved putting them in her mouth. We'll leave that alone because the innuendo is just too obvious. She recognizes the bok choy. Josh thinks it's a radish. Next is a piece of pear and Oral Bonnie gets it, but Josh thinks it's a mango. Chef Ramsay chastises Josh for losing to a nanny.
