you think it's all about you
There we were, watching "Hell's Kitchen" last night, and I made a prediction: "They won't kick off Melissa," I said. "Even though she's stuck on herself to the point where it's bringing down her whole team, they can't kick her off. Having such a strong presence, especially somebody everybody hates, is just good TV. If she were gone, everybody would get along better and things would go more smoothly. Where's the conflict? So she won't be going home. No way."
And I was right -- even though she was the one put up on the chopping block, she didn't go home. Chef Ramsay just switched her over to the Blue Team. And it really is going to make for great TV when she and Rock go head to head.
I'm still rooting for Julia, the short-order cook. She's made it this far, despite her admitted lack of fine-dining knowledge. But she works hard, and really seems to be more about teamwork than making herself look good.
