Was the winner of last nights H3ll's Kitchen individual challenge predetermined?

I somehow don't think Chef Ramsey had any intentions of taking Petrozza to pick out clothes at Lisa Klines if he won.

And also, who do you think the overall winner would be? It looks like the favorite from the start was Corey, but Chef seems to be favoring Christina, Petrozza seems to not make any mistakes except for keeping his station clean, but I don't see Chef picking him to run his restaurant, plus for marketing purposes he would probably get more customers if Corey or Christina were head chef.

Is anyone else getting bored with their dishes? It seems they always do risotto, jon dori, and beef wellington.

Well im sure that if Petrozza won he would have taken him to a male clothing store or something better for a male winner. Just what I think.

I like christina not just because shes an ra at my school but because she knows what shes talking/doing and has common sence in the kitchen which is one of the most important things.

Shes deff. the most qualified.

Yeah i agree tho they deff need to explore farther into the dish world.

I was thinking about this last night and relized im sure they feel that none of them know what they are doing in the kitchen so im sure they want them to keep as simple as possible.

I would imagine as the team gets smaller and smaller, the menu would have to be somewhat sized down to accomidate fewer people being able to prep/execute it

You hit the nail on the head there. The winner won't actually be hired to run Ramsay's restaurant. They'll most likely be given $250,000 "salary" (or whatever the prize money is) for one year at his restaurant in some sort of promotional (token) capacity. They might get to put together a few "special He11's Kitchen winner dishes" and do some photoshoots, but that's about it. There is no way Ramsay is seriously recruiting for an executive chef.
