Hell's Kitchen Update

Wow. Another 2 hour episode of non-stop blue team domination. At this point in the competition, it is hard to see anyone one of the remaining ladies making a run for the chef position at Ramsey's restaurant. Ben is now in the drivers seat of the competition I believe. At the end of the second episode when Chef Ramsey called Ben up to switch to the red team, he said that the red team needed a true leader. I previously though that Scott would be able to help lead the read team but that was a complete failure.

The red team lacks any sense of team. It was clear in the competition tonight where each member had to select ingredients and no one could use the same. The blue team was well into cooking before the Red team even figured out who was using what. Individually there are a couple decent at best chefs on the red team. There is no team at all.

It will be interesting to see who can become a consistent chef over the next few episodes. Chef Ramsey looks for consistency and no one chef stands out in this category.

At the end of the show there was a tribute to Ron Stutzman, the technical director of Hell's Kitchen. RIP

Monday Morning Thoughts

Happy Monday Everyone! After an exciting weekend in the World Cup and
the PGA, I have a couple thoughts on everything that happend this
weekend

5. World Cup Refs - Friday during the USA game was another perfect
example of "human error" in sports. With the USA trailing 2-0 at
halftime, they essentially pulled off a stunning comeback. After
scoring 2 goals to tie the game, a free kick was awarded to the USA. A
very nice set play and the USA scores the game winning goal. But
wait...the ref called a foul on the US even though two US players were
in bear hugs from Slovania. NO GOAL. In stead of the 3 points for a
win, the US managed to get a draw instead. A terrible terrible call.

4. The Orioles continued their steller season this weekend against San
Diego. They lost yet another series. When will their season be over!

3. What were the Canadians thinking trading the goalie that clearly
helped them through the playoffs. The trade of Halak caught me
completely off guard. I was expecting a mega deal to be signed during
this offseason with the Canadians. Instead, we will see him next
season we will see him in a Blues Uniform.

2. BP CEO Tony Hayward was spotted at a yacht race in England this
weekend to watch his yacht "Bob" race. Is this a big deal? Not at all.
Even if the man was at work, would the oil spill have been stopped?
NO. The man deserves to spend a couple hours with his FAMILY during
Father's day weekend.

1. With a tie and a loss and a game vs. South Africa this week, what
is happening to France. Within the last couple of days, a player was
dismissed, the trainer quit, the players refused to train during
practice and the team director resigned. Is this the end of France at
this years World Cup, I think so.

Enjoy and keep checking for new updates!
