Cooking, Dating, and Scheming

Welcome back to Get Real! Tonight is a full feast of shows from last Tuesday evening. We have another meltdown on Hell’s Kitchen, more to love on More to Love, and a Veto Competition on BB11.



Featured first are the remaining chefs of Hell’s Kitchen. We got to see the follow-up from last week’s results and Tennille and Suzanne were on each other’s backs! Then for the Blue Team, Van and Kevin were bad mouthing Andy.

Of course, Chef Ramsay knew about these issues, so he gave the chefs a challenge were he paired them up with people who didn’t like each other. So Tennille and Suzanne were paired together and so were Van and Andy. The challenge was to create 6 lines of six 6-inch sausages. The whole challenge was a bit silly and full of innuendos! Alright, how is it that Kevin and David, the two injured chefs in the kitchen are able to get out 2 lines when Robert and Jim can’t get out any at all?! Come on…David has a broken hand! The Red Team won out in the end while the men on the Blue Team clearly felt embarrassed for losing.

As a reward, the girls were treated to an Oktoberfest type event while the men had to stay behind and clean the dorms. Kevin started talking about how upset he was that they lost and then Robert got in his face about it. He definitely overreacted! Then he blew up again and I think this could be a bad indication of his performance in dinner service.

Dave got a call from the doctor about his wrist. Turns out he has a fracture in his wrist that would require him to have a long arm cast and not allow him to move his thumb for two weeks. This makes me so sad because David is one of my favorite chefs on this show! Oh yay – he’s decided to stay.

Jim and Ariel were chosen to greet the house and present an amuse bouche to the diners. Tonight’s diners including celebrities like Drew Lachey, John O’Hurley, Chris “Kid” Reid, Kristy Swanson, Melinda Clarke, and Tom Green.

On the Pasta Station, Tek made her Cappellini a little too salty and she needed to remake her dish for John O’Hurley. Luckily, Tennille jumped in to help out and the pasta turned out perfect. Then Lovely was having problems with her pasta entrée. Robert struggled with his appetizers but he pulled through. The same can’t be said for Andy who just couldn’t get a handle on the meat station.

As predicted, Robert was freaking out about Andy’s work and he was just yelling. It was so loud and the diners could hear him. So embarrassing and just poor leadership! Then know-it-all Suzanne messed up on her meat station, too. Looks like she doesn’t know everything.

Thankfully, Dave returned and basically saved the day for the Blue Team. He was put on the Dessert Station and he was going faster than any of the other chefs, it seemed, and he only had one hand!

It came down to the end and both teams only had one ticket left. Whoever completed their tickets first would be the winner of that dinner service. Jim was sending out his chicken and it ended up being raw. He was able to send out a new chicken in time but Lovely wasn’t able to work on her sides so the Blue Team pulled away with the win.

Before Chef Ramsay could decide which member of the Red Team needed to nominate two people to leave, Suzanne opened her big mouth and asked for a “play-by-play” of why they lost exactly. She then made her whole team look bad when Chef Ramsay told her that they had a whole other person on their team and that Dave only had one arm to use! Sabrina was named as the “Best of the Worst” because she stepped up to the plate during service.
Sabrina nominated Tek because of her service and Lovely because of her sides and garnish station. Before making up his mind, Chef Ramsay put Suzanne on the spot and asked her who she would send home. She said she would get rid of Lovely and Chef agreed.


Before the night ended, Chef Ramsay told the chefs that their next dinner service would be the most important service of their lives. Interesting!


Now for the real beginning of More to Love. The girls would told that there would be two group dates to go on but rather than being told who went on what date, the girls got to choose! Malissa and Anna were the “team captains” and they got to choose who was on their date. But, what the girls didn’t know is that whoever didn’t was left as the last pick got an alone date with Luke. So, Christina, the one all the girls hated, won the solo date.

Team Malissa was the first group to go on their date with Luke. Like The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, it seems like all of the dates are going to be lavish. They went on a yacht or an evening date. Heather got sea-sick and I felt kind of bad for her. How embarrassing would it be to throw-up on your first date?! I guess the group date situation was actually a plus for her since it wasn’t just 1:1.

Malissa definitely took charge! She seems cute, but I’m not sure about her. She seems very arrogant and sure of herself. She kept acting like she and Luke were already a couple and she invited these other girls to join them. Kristian, on the other hand, is the opposite and incredible humble and sweet. She gets so giddy around him and it’s really adorable.

Christina got her date details next and it sounded like she was going to a casino with Luke. A lot of the other girls were jealous and, because a lot of them already don’t like Christina, they were being rude to her. She looked very pretty for her date. I don’t like her that much because she just seems a little spoiled and airheady.

Anna’s team was told to grab their swimsuits and get ready for their date. All of the girls were all so nervous to be in their bathing suits. I can understand their concerns, but at the same time they have to know that Luke isn’t going to worry about what they look like because he has already invited them to be there.

Lauren was the same as Malissa on this date. I thought I liked her in the beginning, but I’m not sure about that anymore. Luke took Melissa aside first on their date and it was cute that he thought about this with her. I like Melissa, but at the same time I think she is a little naïve. I don’t think she will be the one he ends up with, but I think this will be a good experience for her.

Lauren played the tattle-tale game during the cocktail party. It was so rude that she told Luke about Arianne not wanting to have kids and the fact that she’s older. I think it’s one thing to be aggressive and want to get the guy in end but it’s another thing to be rude about it.

At the end of the ring ceremony, Arianne, Magali, and Vanessa went home. I’m surprised that Magali was sent home because she is super cute.


And now it’s time for the Veto Competition on Big Brother 11.


It looks like Russell and Chima have the beginning of a showmance and I’m not sure about that. But I think that I like Chima now and I do like she has given Ronnie another chance. Maybe she, Natalie, and Jesse can change his mind.

Natalie tried to get Michele on their side to keep Ronnie in the house. I’m glad that she is getting more into the game because until she was nominated, she was really just floating along and people completely forgot she was even there.

For the Veto Competition, Russell pulled Michele, Ronnie pulled Jesse, and Lydia pulled Kevin. The game had a Roman theme to it. It was sort of like the “how many marble are in this jar?” type game. In the first round, everyone folded besides Jesse so he won the point. For the arrows round, Russell gained a point but Kevin was eliminated. In the grapes round, Lydia was out but Russell gained another point. In the marks on the belt challenge, Michele ended up as being the only one staying so she got the point. Once again, Michele was the only one to stay so she got the point. Michele then won her last point so she has the POV for the second week in a row. Michele and Russell seemed on their way to making a pretty good alliance. I think Russell is actually a lot smarter than he looks or seems. And Michelle is clearly smart and knows how to play this game. I would really like them becoming an alliance and it could totally go a long way.

Ronnie tried to convince Michele that if she voted him out she would be the most hated girl in the house and that she would be targeted by Jesse, Natalie, and Chima. Then Chima gave Russell a hard time about hanging out with Michele. And then Ronnie and Chima were talking about Russell and how he’s not as smart as he seems but Russell heard them!

Jesse and Natalie tried to convince Chima to be quiet about everything because they know now that Ronnie will go home because he doesn’t have enough votes but that Chima shouldn’t go down with him. It’s funny how all of the people on Ronnie’s side think that Michelle is being puppeted by Russell. But she has never trusted Ronnie or said that she wanted to keep him in the house. And if anything, Russell and Michele are on the complete same page!

After the Veto Ceremony, Ronnie and Lydia were still on the block as Michele used the POV on neither of them. Now, Michele has a new team that she feels part of and that trust her. Russell, Jeff, and Jordan all trust her now and she can be a force to be reckoned with.

Next up on Get Real, the 2nd round for the champions on Top Chef Masters and the eviction ceremony on BB11. Stay tuned :)
