Gordon Ramsey is a Giddy Schoolgirl
I've never really been a fan of reality television, so I must write this down so I can remember it: The Season 5 finale of "Hell's Kitchen" is one of the most glorious pieces of television I have ever seen in my entire existence.
I will watch this specific episode again one day. Not today, and maybe not tomorrow... but perhaps the next day, I will watch it again and I will use a stop watch in order to shed light on the total amount of time it takes for the following things to happen:
screen shots spent with suspenseful silence, slow camera zoom shots, moments consisting solely of music written and remixed by the composer for "Law and Order" when he was smoking crack, voice over re-capping (I most definitely want to get a writing gig as a re-capper), re-capping in general, Lacy fucking things up for the Red Team, Giovanni fucking things up for the Blue team, "Chef" Gordon Ramsey asking if the 2 finalists if they're "ready" for things, Gordon Ramsey jumping up and down when they hang the winner's picture on the "wall of fame", the amount of times Danny says "Lobster", etc.
The other reason I love this show is that I can zone out, if I'm recovering from a rough out the night before, and stare at food and annoying people from far away. If I actually sit and listen to annoying people, in person, it will worsen the nausea; and if I go to a restaurant, in person, it will worsen the nausea.
Throughout Season 5 of 'Hell's Kitchen' (all of which I've seen within the last 24 hours) I have considered Danny to be a real contender for the winning spot, and a highly qualified one at that, yet as I watched the Season 5 Finale I grew increasingly supportive of Paula's strength as a chef. This all came to me as a surprise, but Danny, the youngest member of Season 5 and self-proclaimed "culinary prodigy" irked me more and more throughout the episode.
And when the winner finds out that he/she won? Well, let me just say that the celebration is GRAND.And the fact that both finalists have a close friend in their defense when they're sitting in the confessional... or is that word in the "Real World" dictionary only?
I wonder what Lacy's job current job prospects are like... Also, Danny, if you're reading this and you and your girlfriend don't work out, give me a call.
