Hell’s Kitchen finale

For those of you gentle readers out there who have not watched the finale of Hell’s Kitchen, I’m about to spoil the crap out of it.  Okay, well maybe not too much.  But enough to tell you who won, who lost, and who was the most surprising dirty player of the bunch.

Well, I guess you can already tell that Rock was the winner this season on Hell’s Kitchen.  He was in it to win it, and he did.  He played the game hard and he won.  Sure, he was an ass at times, but I think he was the only one that really understood that it was a game of strategy.  But he worked hard, and just deserved to win.  Far more than Bonnie.  Bonnie was strong, but she didn’t have the same “take charge” attitude that Rock showed off a few times. 

I was really surprised to see Julia be such a dirty player, however.  She was such the underdog for awhile.  And her genuine willingness to learn and cook really put her at a place where everyone liked her.  Chef Ramsay even offered to pay her tuition to a fine dining institution.  Julia had no reason to be so bitter towards Bonnie.  But she was, and being on the same team may have hurt Bonnie’s chances for success.  But still, Julia lost, and she needed to accept it and move on and help out her team. 

Kitchen Nightmares is another show featuring Chef Ramsay that I’m looking forward to in the FOX fall lineup, which will appear on Wednesday nights, after the sitcom hour.
