Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3

Ramsay was disappointed by Julia's chicken-fried chicken penne, which was tasty but too peppery, and he liked Aaron's finger food platter but felt there were too many components on the plate.

After the challenge, Ramsay revealed that this season's winner would become the head chef at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Las Vegas.

To make matters worse, Joanna attempted to dictate over the team and annoyed the women (and Bonnie in particular) for telling them that they were incorrectly prepping the stock for service when they were actually doing it the right way.

When Vinnie got caught using water in a risotto after running out of vegetable stock, Ramsay threw him off the station and ordered him to clean dishes for the rest of service.

Ramsay criticized Vinnie for being lazy but otherwise declared the men as the winners since they at least served all their appetizers, while the women, now dubbed "Hell's Bitches" for their in-fighting, couldn't even manage that.

Ramsay singled out Aaron, Eddie, and Vinnie as the worst of the men's team and instructed Rock, the only one not to make any mistakes, to nominate two people for elimination.

Julia's short order experience led her team from start to finish almost flawlessly, with the only issue being Joanna's hash browns being sent back for being undercooked.

Josh, who was sent out to take water deliveries as the second part of the men's punishment, was accused of trying to sabotage Brad after saying his turbot wasn't ready.

For the women, Bonnie undercooked scallops, and Joanna served salty risotto while failing to notice that she was using rancid crab, which led Ramsay to fire her from the station.

At this point, Ramsay preemptively announced that a tie would go to the women since the men had misidentified so many basic ingredients, which would guarantee them victory unless Jen missed all her items and Vinnie correctly identified all of his.

Vinnie immediately misidentified tuna as pancetta, and Ramsay declared the women the winners, meaning that Jen didn't even have to taste anything.

The teams were sent to Bristol Farms and each given $100 to buy ingredients for their dishes in 30 minutes, with the men initially being over the limit and forced to ditch a bottle of wine at the check-out counter.

The teams then had one hour to prepare the dishes, with the men managing by consensus, while Melissa tried to take control of the women's entire menu, to the point where she advised Julia and Jen that they should not listen to Bonnie over her.

Upon seeing the result, Ramsay and the couple didn't even bother tasting the women's dish and immediately declared the men as the clear winners, their first challenge win of the season.

Reward/punishment: The men were rewarded with a day of pampering at the Exhale Spa while the women decorated the dining room for the reception, under the directions of Francisco the Party Planner.

Josh initially screwed up on the risotto, which held up Brad's crab salad and the women, as the wedding couple had to be served first before the rest of the guests.

Service: Ramsay informed the teams they would be making familiar dishes such as risotto, sea bass, beef wellington, spaghetti, and also Bonnie's newly created lobster salad.

Ramsay thought that Jen's take on steak and eggs for breakfast lacked originality, while Josh's pea tendril stuffed chicken leg was undercooked, so gave neither of them a point.

Due to her steak and shrimp dish, while initially rejected by the women, being the most popular without a single order being returned, she had the privilege to nominate one of her teammates for elimination, while the men had to pick one nominee on a group consensus.

The two also went to the Red Rock Resort to meet Heather West, the winner of the second season, who gave them recipes she had created for her restaurant, and tips for the competition.

In an unprecedented move so far on Hell's Kitchen, he said he would personally send Julia to culinary school and invite her to come back and win it all once she has finished.

During service, Ramsay made each contestant work the pass, calling out orders and putting the finishing touches on dishes before handing them off to the servers.

Rock caught a monkfish being sent out without ham, though was criticized for plating the dishes too slowly and not being vocal enough; Bonnie pointed out that he was an executive chef and should have performed better.

Lastly, Bonnie struggled in calling off orders, though spotted an undercooked pigeon and Jen's risotto with no salt, and gained confidence over time.

Challenge: After they have selected their restaurant's decor, the two chefs travel to Las Vegas with Ramsay on a private plane and are given a tour of the Green Valley Ranch Resort.

In a surprise challenge, Ramsay tells the final two they have thirty minutes to create their specialty dish (listed above) and present it to the top chefs of Las Vegas.

Preparations: Continuing from the previous episode, Rock organized his team well while Bonnie took a relaxed and laid back approach, admitting she had not cooked most of her items.

In the kitchen while planning recipes, Julia frequently snapped at Bonnie, while Rock convinced Josh that he is capable and just needs self-confidence to perform well.

The two finalists presented their appetizers and entrees to Ramsay; Bonnie's goat cheese salad and her signature prawn fettuccine, Rock's surf and turf (fried chicken and crab cakes) and rib-eye steak.

Bonnie's team started out strong on the appetizers, but Melissa overcooked the prawns and Julia worked slowly on garnish while refusing to give times.
