I don’t think I have ever changed favorites more during a series than I have during the current Hell’s Kitchen series. It seemed like nearly every week folks would exhibit some really unappealing traits which would have me rethink my favorite.
Initially, I found Melissa the frontrunner for my favoritism, as she was from my home town and seemed very good in the kitchen. Eddie seemed pretty likable too, but I had the feeling it would come down to Melissa and Rock at the end.
As the series progressed the ladies team degenerated into a continual cat fight, and Melissa had a melt down. I found myself rooting for Rock and Julia. Rock because he was the only guy with his act together and Julia because she was such a likable person.
Unfortunately Rock began to exhibit some really unattractive qualities - like acting childish whenever tasked with doing something many of us do every day - like sorting recyclables. Personally I don’t care what your background is - if you consider yourself above doing what most folks do on a daily basis, you need some serious attitude adjustment.
So at this point I was cheering for Julia, until her untimely ejection from the show. I found my loyalties switching to Jen who was fairly likable and skilled in the kitchen. Her getting kicked out on the basis of booby trapped food seems rather unfair as she went first, and that alerted the other two to watch the food like hawks.
So that leaves the final two. Not too a difficult choice as Bonnie seems to be a spoiled young lady who apparently has reached 26 years old without ever needing to clean up after herself. Considering how much yelling and ridicule she was subjected to during the series, I am actually stumped as to how she made it to the final two. Rock however comes from a humble background and I can relate to him although his temper tantrums can be annoying. His overall performance has been head and shoulders above Bonnies, and his skill in the kitchen is undeniable.
The final episode should be quite interesting as several former competitors have been brought back for it. This should make for an interesting show as I am sure they have brought back a fair amount of animosity with them. Overall the ladies team seems to have more skills as a whole, but have a tendency to not work well together. The mens team on the other hand are a bit better at working together so this may offset the skills.
So let’s see you win Rock.
