'Hell's Kitchen': Definitely didn't see that one coming

Oh no! Gio!

It wasn't that long ago that Giovanni looked like the frontrunner in this game, but he's a goner after an unbelievably bad dinner service. But did he deserve the ax? Didn't it seem like he was doing well all along, and exhibited sound leadership skills? Should he really go home after one bad dinner service? Admittedly, it was more than bad, it was a horrendous dinner service. And Gio really screwed up by inexplicably placing a 500-degree pan in the fridge to cool it down -- only it ended up badly burning Robert, who had no idea it was hot.

Still, Chef Ramsay seemed a bit hard on Gio, chasing him around the kitchen, taunting him, going nose to nose and nearly headbutting him (I wonder if Chef Ramsay ever worries about getting clocked). After all that, Chef Ramsay explained it all away with a "It's not personal, it's professional." Uh-huh.

So. Do you think Ben has a chance? I bet Ben thinks so.

Blogger, did you watch the end of the show? The big question here is, Will Chef shut the kitchen down completely since he thinks none of them are good enough to win?
