"Hell's Kitchen": Boiling point

Chef reached a new level of dominance over his minions Monday night: Josh actually bowed to him at the show's end. Though Ramsay must be intolerable, there was no mutiny last night, only the usual tempest of anger from Ramsay, this time accompanied by decent outbursts from Rock after the guys (plus Melissa, who was switched on the last show) lost the first challenge, a lobster cook off.  It seemed he was having one of those moments where his original anger acted as fuel, creating more anger and making him increasingly more ridiculous ("*#&^%ing BISQUE! @&!$%ing CRAB AND LOBSTER BISQUE!! THAT

"Greek": No pledge of allegiance

Having seen neither "Animal House," the quintessential college film, nor "Undeclared," the sort-of-quintessential college television series, I fear I may be lacking perspective on the new series "Greek," a fraternity/sorority dramedy that premiered this week on ABC Family. However, I am a college student, and, though not a Greek-er myself, I know a thing or two about the campus scene. With this knowledge, I might venture to guess that even diverse institutes of higher learning do not house quite as many time-tested stereotypes as Cyprus-Rhodes University, the show's fictional setting. There is the quiet irritable Asian engineering student; the frat boy in boxers

"Hell's Kitchen": Fewer and fewer cooks in the kitchen

We can now say for certain that chef Gordon Ramsay is both a ferocious hunter and an excellent marksman. He demonstrated Monday night, when he took the boys to play paintball after they won the first challenge, a leftovers cookoff. Lone wolf Ramsay managed to take out Josh, Brad, and Rock without suffering a single hit.Meanwhile, the girls cleaned the kitchen as punishment. As per usual, things were tensely silent until Bonnie cried. There was a reason, but I forgot what it was.For dinner service, steaks were high (that's a food pun! Like on the show!). Each team had to come up with its own

"Hell's Kitchen": Back to the Waffle House

With only five chefs left Gordon Ramsay had fewer targets to spew venom on, so he made sure to cover everyone completely. Really the most spectacular moment was when he tossed a comatose Josh out of the kitchen and off the show partway through dinner service. Describing it wouldn't do it justice, but I will say he threw a spoon.Following that, Rock, Jen, and Bonnie fought over very little very loudly. Rock's really fun when he's fighting with people, but he's better in front of the camera on his own. He started wailing about how sometimes he "likes working with women,"
