HELL’S KITCHEN... Props to Paul Niedermann for winning the top prize in tonight’s Season 9 finale of Hell’s Kitchen. (Good grief, nine seasons already? Didn’t the show premiere on FOX back in 2005?) I was rooting for runner-up Will Lustberg to become the head chef at BLT Steak in New York—with an annual salary of $250,000 to go with the job—but a shaky performance by Lustberg during the 2-hour season finale and Paul’s emotional testimonial about winning the competition for his mom (who passed away before Niedermann headed to Los Angeles to embark on the reality cooking show) made me, and probably a lot of other viewers, want to root for Niedermann instead. Hell’s Kitchen definitely had two worthy finalists tonight.
And as expected, Elise Wims was eliminated right before the finale. Assuming Wims watched this entire season on TV, I hope she now realizes that she only went as far as she did because she was the main antagonist (that’s an understatement) on Hell's Kitchen this year...a la Omarosa in The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice. Sure, Elise could cook (and it was cool that she had Paul’s back during the dinner service in the finale), but she primarily stuck around to bring ratings to the TV show, nothing more.
As for Tommy Stevens...wow. One can only imagine what kinda lovin’ his totally hot (19-year-old) girlfriend would’ve given him if he stood behind and opened one of those two glass doors at Chef Gordon Ramsay’s office at the end of the second episode. Or at least been one of the finalists... Get a room, rockstar.
