Argh, do these shows think we haven't watched all season? All of the reality shows feel a need to recap the entire season for a huge cheunk of thime each finale. I saw it already ... get to the meat in the kitchen, please!
This post will be updated throughout the show. Once they get into the show, that is! So, check back throughout the hour and feel free to jump in with your thoughts in the comments area!
I'm still finding it hard to believe that Bonnie made it into the final two. I personally would have preferred Julie in there if they have someone without "fine dining" restaurant experience.
Aw, they get to spend time with their families. Rock's children are cute.
Rock and Bonnie have the design your own restaurant task at hand as Hell's Kitchen is split it two for them. Bonnie thinks she's a force to be reckoned with and it's too late for Rick. She also mentioned she flew under the radar. That she did, I'll say.
Bonnie likesn the task to being given a life-sized dollhouse and a credit card. Rock is determined to win. Rock wants the basics in decor while Bonnie wants special touches. Bonnie wants black suits on the wait staff and, much to Jean Phillipe's chagrin, Rock suggested jeans. Thankfully he was shot down.
Bonnie seems to have more of a plan than Rock does. He's choking under pressure, but I don't think that will last. Both go off to Las Vegas to check out the Green Valley Ranch Resort where one will be running the restaurant.
I like the jet! Heh, Gordon Ramsay mentioned Rock's hissy-fit. Rock balked at that! Ramsay is talking about how they've both done throughout the game. We may as well have another recap.
It is a gorgeous place. They walk in and see themselves on a promo throughout the hotel. They went out for a quiet drink with Ramsay and ended up on stage. Each wannabe have thirty minutes to create a dish which represents their signature style. Bonnie did shrimp and pasta while Rock went for surf and turf. They'll be judges by the group of seven VIP judges, reknowned chefs.
Bonnie won the first one over. Rock thinks she flirted to win. Rock got the second one. Bonnie won the third. Robin Leach is the next judge up -- he goes with Bonnie. She only needs one more vote to win the challenge. Michael, the winner of the first season gave his vote to Rock. Now it's Heather from last year judging... she votes Rock. Deciding vote is the folks from the resort where one will work -- they go with Bonnie! Amazing!
Now they're privately shmoozing and boozing with Ramsay. He has a little surprise for them -- trip to NYC for a few days to go the Ramsay's chef's table.
Sheesh, they must be planning the last part into an itsy segmant. As I type this, there's only ten minutes left and the restaurants have barely been touched on although we saw speeded up video of them.
Finally, it's to the important part -- the last six eliminated chefs show up to help them out. Julia is upset, disappointed in herself Rock thinks. Poor Julia. She tells us she came into the game to win.
The two pick their teams. Bonnie goes with the girls. Julia tells us she wants Rock to win.
Part 2 of the Season Finale will air next week and I'll be there. Er, here. It looks like mass chaos again. The promo calls it the closest finish ever. Um ... okay.

It bothers me that Rock didn't own up to his several "hissy fits" without prodding from Ramsay. He had better find a way quickly to get that under control. Ramsay also called him out for kissing up to the judges during the competition in Vegas. Bonnie has grown and learned a lot during the season but I don't think she's ready to have her own restaurant yet. I'm just not crazy about Rock's personality and don't think his skills are far enough along to start a restaurant either. I think, also, that Julia is a grumpy sore loser. Sheesh, at least she gets to go to culinary school gratis Chef Ramsay, which is more than the others got. And she was invited to come back after she finished her education. to try winning again on another season. She should be happy and not bring everyone else down.
When Rock mentioned he wanted jeans on his wait staff I almost choked. Jeans in a fancy restaurant, omg. Not a Southern BBQ Shack!!! @@
Green Valley Ranch is beautiful, and set far from the strip.
I think Julia was being very ungrateful last night. Culinary school costs a pretty penny and that is an opportunity she probably never would have had otherwise. For GR to welcome her back to the show afterwards, that is a major advantage for her as she has been through most of the abuse and yelling so would be able to cope better than new opponents! Also to want Rock to win...oh please!
I am not sure I would have lined up my team as those 2 did...we shall see.
just about every week they do a "never been seen on hell's kitchen before" promo, & then it's something stupid, or they just bypass it like it wasn't worth it !!
I think as far as cooking skills, Rock is the winner hands down, but Bonnie has it in most other areas - altho i am too shocked that she's in the final 2
I think that Rock should have been able to put his people in jeans. It would have shown Chef R that Rock has no sense of ""running"" a resteraunt.
JMO
And the Winner is.....ROCK! This was a close one but I knew that Bonnie was done for when those plates came back with uncooked prongs and the dishes were cold. Plus, she ran out of items on the menu. It was a great season, but as Rock said from the beginning he was there to get his restaurant. Positive thinking goes a long way.
