Ramsay gave the women the win and told the men that everyone had to nominate someone tonight. Originally, Ben wanted them all to nominate themselves, but when Louross (rightfully) refused, Bobby tried to get everyone to nominate Louross. Petrozza — dear, sweet Petrozza — refused to do that, and it came down to spite and venom back in the dining room. It also came down to this quote, from Louross, as to why he nominated Ben: ''Today. It was a rocky start. But. I still held my ground down. I'm not being heared out. And that's how I feel. You know what I'm saying? I won't sugarcoat anything, I don't even fake the funk. It just felt like, every single time, I'm just like, yo, you know? Anyone gonna listen to me? That's — I don't even got nothin' to say no more, Chef, I'm sorry.''
Still no doubt reeling from that insight, Ben nominated Louross, Bobby set up Petrozza, and Petrozza took the high road: He nominated himself. And started crying. See, Petrozza couldn't possibly nominate any one of his teammates. They all work too hard! And Ramsay, in a bizarre and possibly tumor-induced display of empathy (I've been watching some Grey's Anatomy) told Petrozza he was mature — a gentleman, even! — and fired Ben. Gotta say, I didn't see that guy going so fast. I also have no idea what he said in his parting quote: It seemed like he promised he'd never blow smoke up anyone's ass just to get into a kitchen, but the word where ''ass'' should be was bleeped, and ''ass'' isn't a word they bleep on this show. So who the hell knows?
I'll tell you what I do know: Bobby is most likely not going to win it all, as he keeps claiming. Also, if Matt would rather be called a woman all day long than go back to the Blue Team, I am happy to oblige. Finally, I do not want to watch any part of next week's apparent finger severing. DO NOT WANT, as your LOLcat might say. God, I wish I could do these recaps in all LOLcat format. Would take a hell of a lot less time to just put up a picture of Ben and stamp FAIL across it.
What do you think, turkey burgers? With Ben gone, who's your favorite to win? Will you join me on the Petrozza wagon? Is Jen capable of swallowing her pride long enough to put up with Ramsay's yelling? Would you rather see the Pistons face the Celtics or the Cavs? What are the chances Barry Bonds is finally going to jail? And should I stop watching SportsCenter while writing?
