Ever since the beginning of the show, despite some setbacks from all of them, Corey, Bobby and Petrozza are far and away the best of the bunch. Jen has more talent than Christina, but just the fact that I can't stand her as a person means that I want her to go next...I've wanted her to go since the very first episode. I just can't imagine the final 3 being anybody other than Corey, Bobby and Petrozza. Out of those 3, Petrozza is the least talented. Corey and Bobby have to be the final 2. Out of those 2 I don't know who I'd choose and I wouldn't mind either of them. And if by some chance Petrozza ends up winning that would be fine too. I like all 3 of them.
On a side note I'm a little bummed that they mentioned the winner of season 3. I believe he was mentioned once earlier too. I just got into this show this year and bought season 1 on dvd, but since the other seasons haven't been released yet I haven't seen season 2 or 3. I know nothing about season 2, but now I know the winner of season 3 which kinda blows, but oh well.

The other trios have done good job as they learned lot and improved. Sure, Christina made mistakes, how can you learn if you don't make any mistakes? Bobby made mistakes, too. Petrozza made one also. No one's perfect.

Huge surprise tonight for me. What do they have to do to get rid of Jen?

I'm hoping dirty, dirty Petrozza wins it but I wouldn't bet on it especially if he is as dirty and scatterbrained as every episode makes him out to be. Other than Bobby, though, he seems like the most cool and reserved customer but that could all be editing.
I was thinking tonight what are the qualifications of being a contestant on Hell's Kitchen? Not serious qualifications mind you, more in the vein of:
1. Must smoke cigarettes often.
2. Must have complete confidence in every task regardless of situation.
3. Must believe all of your competitors are inferior in every way.
What others?

Some pretty bad continuity errors tonight. JP seemed to be playing musical ties. He's wearing an orange tie one second and then navy the next.

Note...I don't think any of them are truly capable of being the executive chef at any of Gordon's restaurants though. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that he has the most Michelin Stars of any chef in the world. Between all of his restaurants he has something like 9 stars. I know he has one 3 star restaurant and at least one 2 star restaurant. I just think that all of his chefs have VASTLY more talent than any contestant on Hell's Kitchen.

Christina was looking kinda hot tonight.
I would've been happy with either Jen or Bobby leaving. It was a prime time for Jen to go but I guess Gordon wanted to give her another chance.
Being the only guy left, Petrozza must be in heaven

I'm betting that he'll pull a first season and offer the winner a year of training directly with him... because I honestly don't see any of these contestants running a Gordon Ramsey restaurant.

In past seasons, there was some sort of disclaimer during the closing credits stating that the winner would be given a position commensurate with their experience and ability. In other words, they'll get a job and the salary, but they ain't no head chef!

AND Bobby sucked. How long have they been making these Wellingtons and they're STILL wrong?!?!? Honestly Bobby did everything just okay at best. He never excelled. That he couldn't do a simple meat station last night at this stage of the game was nothing short of pathetic.

Also, it's interesting to note that the restaurants aren't considered Gordon Ramsay restaurants and don't serve his cuisine and are not under his management structure. I think they're just co-owned by his company and managed by someone else. If you go to his website or the website of Gordon Ramsay Holding, Ltd, the restaurants the winners get don't show up.
