That’s what you get if you don’t listen on Hell’s Kitchen. 27-year-old New York sous chef Tek got the boot for being stubborn. She obviously had a problem on the grill, but kept on insisting that she had everything under control. When Hell’s Kitchen host Chef Gordon Ramsay started sending back steak after steak after steak for not being the right temperature, we pretty much know that it’s goodbye Tek.

On the last episode of Hell’s Kitchen, team leaders Robert and Suzanne sat down with Gordon Ramsay and LaTasha, the wife of newly returned US Marine (not Joseph, we hoped), to get an idea what she’d like to see served at his homecoming dinner.

Things were OK for the guys, who were very happy with Robert’s leadership skills, while some of the girls notably - surprise, surprise - Tennille thought Suzanne wasn’t being clear with what the family wants served.

Come tasting time, this proved to be true, as LaTasha loved the guys’ first and second entrees: a trio of macaroni and cheese, fried catfish and collard greens, and grilled lobster tail. As a result, the men got to ride in - gasp - fighter jets, while the girls had to acquaint themselves with Mrs. Gordon Ramsay, Tana, who turned out to be very controlling herself. Of course, everyone was still blaming Suzanne because she didn’t listen well to the client, namely baking the lobster instead of grilling it.

Right before the dinner service, the men were not exactly helpful to the girls, since they had all the recipes. As it turned out, steaks became a cause of headache for both teams. Just ask Jim and Tek. The only difference was, Jim had Kevin bailing him out, while Tek only had her stubborn self.

Tune in next week for a brand new episode of Hell’s Kitchen, including a challenge that involves food and 700 calories.

On the next episode of Hell’s Kitchen, we get the thrilling continuation of the Joseph-going-off-on-Gordon-Ramsay incident at the end of the Fox cooking show’s two-hour premiere last week. On tonight’s edition of Hell’s Kitchen, the 14 remaining chefs (meaning an additional two will be eliminated at the onset of the episode) are woken up in the middle of the night and called to the restaurant for an impromptu challenge. What they find is Gordon Ramsay and a room full of hungry firefighters waiting.

The teams, then, must cook a pasta dinner complete with garlic bread for the local heroes, with the first team to feed their group of firefighters first wins. The reward for the challenge will include a day of relaxation, while the losers will have to deal with washing, polishing, and waxing the fire engines. Unfortunately, Fox is reporting that two contestants are rushed to the hospital for injuries.

Just the same, the chefs are still competing for the grand prize of head chef position at the Canadian restaurant of Araxi in Whistler, British Columbia.

The much-talked about ending of Hell’s Kitchen last week included former US Marine and sous chef Joseph from New York going off on Ramsay, tearing off his jacket, and getting into Ramsay’s face, with f bombs flying all over the place. Earlier, asking him to give the first nominee, Ramsay made a reference to his background by telling Joseph, “That’s a pretty sorry battalion you got there,” to which Joseph said, “I know it is.” Ignoring Ramsay’s question, he asked the men could speak for themselves and that “they know who they are.”

After giving the Tony and Andy’s names, Ramsay called him “slightly stupid.” Ramsay was clearly not satisfied with his answers, while Joseph started throwing the f bombs, not sparing the other contestants who tried to calm him down. Maybe he’s trying to show Ramsay that he’s already ready to be like him?

En route to its July 21 premiere, Hell’s Kitchen looks like it’s going to be hotter than ever, when the Fox cooking show sizzles with 16 new contestants go under the knife, so to speak, of the infamous Chef Gordon Ramsay. The sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen will kick off with a two-hour premiere to introduce the 16 people feature in its sixth season. Of particular interest was a rain of shrimps shown in the sneak peek released by Fox.

This season’s winner of Hell’s Kitchen will win the position of head chef at Araxi Restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia, in the first time a Canadian-set restaurant is featured on the show. He or she will also have the added privilege of joining executive chef James Walt in welcoming the world during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

On the first episode, Ramsay will go by the tradition, asking the contestants to cook him their signature dishes. The men and women will be pitted against each other in separate teams, with the winning team (and gender) awarded a special prize.
