Trixie was telling me that the "fine print" of the show, that the winner doesn't actually get to RUN this new Vegas restaurant's kitchen but is simply guaranteed a job commensurate with that person's ability. What's THAT about?!

Here's a link to a few more Virginia pics from an earlier show:

One thing that really bugs me about Keith, and Ramsay mentioned it too, was how he does not look at Ramsay when he speaks. When Ramsay asked Keith to explain his dish, Keith began to look to the sides, looking really nervous. He also looks away when Ramsay yells at him, or even when he offers advice. I know teenagers do that all the time ( I work with them), but you grow out of that nervousness, and Keith hasn't. I certainly wouldn't want him running a restaurant associated with my name. That, and he's a big fat slob. I've seen big chef, and fat chefs, but none of them are slobs. K-Grease needed to go.
Oh, and I must be blind, because I don't see the favoritism towards Virginia. She's a dope, yes, but she does win when it counts. I mean, for a signature dish from a chef of Ramsays qualifications, would you use mashed potatoes?? I wouldn't. Virginia was the only one who didn't.

I loved how Ramsay seemed genuinely hurt when Keith called him out on his relationship with Virginia (what exactly did he say?). When Ramsay asked why he had to be so mean, I nearly lost it. Then when Keith said that Ramsay was always mean, Ramsay's response of "So?" just about cracked me up.

Here's the recap from fox.com:
"Chef Ramsay reiterates that he personally doesn’t think Keith is ready to lead. Keith succinctly replies that he thinks Chef Ramsay has a… well… let’s just say affinity for Virginia. Although Keith’s actual words were much more forceful. Much more… hard on Chef Ramsay. Chef Ramsay is now positive that he made the right decision."

I only see a little favoritism toward Virginia. She won the challenges fair and square. She simply made Chef's dish better than Heather or Keith. Maybe she flirted with the contruction workers, but I'd honestly like her meal better too. It sounded better at least. I think Keith and Heather have major jealousy issues, that was obvious last night. If they had been winning challenges, they certainly wouldn't be acting like that. I think they were lucky at all that Virginia spent a few dollars on them after her shopping spree. I wouldn't have after the way they'd been acting. She bombs under pressure, but I think she did well last night - not because Chef favors her, but it showed that she did well. Probably due to Chef's tips - but still, she earned that by winning the challenge. Heather and Keith needed to suck it up and stop being poor losers about it.

Virginia can't make up her up if she is ready for this opportunity or not. If she really want this opportunity, she should be 100% confident that she can do the job. Don't be so fucking indecisive.

Heather had an unfair advantage going into the game already being a Sous chef. I'm almost positive she is a lesbian, not that it matters. Sadly, she was the only one I could see winning, barring a major screw up, she will win the contest. Looking back this field of contestants was better as a whole, but only had one contender...last season had two real ones. For the record Michael could easily beat heather in a cook off.

Actually, I think that Virginia nice tits or not, IS actually the best chef. She wins every competition. I think that like all reality shows they are editing it to make it seem like she is getting by purely on her hotness and Ramsays lust. I think she is going to win.

she doesnt win each competition because shes the best chef. she wins because gordon loves her.
notice EVERY DAMN TIME he gets to choose the winner and the prize is hanging out with him he chooses the team virginia is on (or if its an individual prize, he chooses virginia).
