Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I would never go on the show either.

I am most certain they all new what they where getting themselves into with Chef Ramsey so I don’t feel sorry for one bit.


Chef Ramsey is

errrrrrrrrr

I can’t believe that Keith was voted out over Virginia! Totally not fare.

I wonder if Keith is right… does Chef have a crush on Virginia?

Oh Nadia............I totally agree with Keith!!! Yes, Virginia can win the little challenges that may be interesting.....but she's proven over and over and over and over that she can NOT cook nor run service at all!!!!

Keith will have his own restauraunt someday, I believe. This show at least gives the truly talented contestants a place to showcase and be seen!!


If Virginia wins the whole thing then we'll know for SURE that ole Chef Ramsey was NOT thinking with his brain!!!

Don't you think Keith ruined it for himself. All that talk about, how, Virginia was no real competition and he didn't have to worry about this or that. How pompous can you be?

Then he copped an attitude at the very end. If you take that crap from Ramsey all of these episodes, why can't you hang on for another hour. I thought it was silly. Develop a bad ass attitude 20 minutes before you could be going to Vegas. That's just poor judgment.

Virginia is incompetent, IMO, yet she told Ramsey what he wanted to hear. I guess Keith was too macho to be smart about it.

I'm still trying to get over the disbelief that these people who are portrayed as cheif's, cannot cook simple foods.

How can you burn peas and cabbage, even with someone shouting at you? How can you not know when pasta is not done? How can you cook a perfect entree of beef wellington or sea bass with sauces but can't cook rissoto? I don't get it and don't really believe it.

I believe Virgina burned the vegtables on purpose. I'm not sure why yet.

I think Virginia can cook well....BUT has absolutely no leadership ability and can't handle the pressure. She gets lost too easily. She needs more training.

I guess the prize just has to go to the person that is best suited to run the kitchen... one compensation is the kitchen is going to take awhile before it's up and ready to go and they might be able to get some lessons so they don't fall on thier face and make them look bad.

I do think Heather is the closest to being ready to run her own kitchen... she just needs to fine tune her leadership ability ...learn the difference between pushiness and keeping the momentum going.


I agree with Debby about Keith... the moment you think someone isn't as good as you... you relax and become worse than the other person. (The Hare and the Tortise's moral). Attitude can seep out and get noticed. The main reason I did not like Sara. There is a difference between confidence and arrogance.

Maybe Virginia was being passive aggressive or just so overly emotional that she's lost in her head instead of being in the moment... (something I'm guilty of from time to time)


We'll see how it all goes next time.

I never knew professional cheifs yelled that much in the kitchen. I am very close to an Italian family who owns and runs a resturant. I have never heard any of that shouting, "Yes, Cheif, No Cheif," going on in their kitchen. Theirs is a small place.

I have dined in other upscale resturants as well and have never heard all that shouting in the kitchen either. All of that commotion would make me uncomfortable and cause me to leave the place.
Is it for real or just drama tv?
