In Top Chef, you can win several challenges in a row, but if you don&#8217;t cook well one week, you&#8217;re out.   A lot of that game is &#8220;screw up less than your opponents that week&#8221;, which is why some chefs that won cooking challenges left before others.    Ramsay took Cristina&#8217;s previous performance into account when he made that decision, and I think it was a good choice.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;ll be interesting to see what happens <i>next<\/i> week.  Sure looks as though both Petrozza and Christina really screwed up service, and Gordon Ramsay will be left with a similar choice to what he did this week.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if they had chefs of the caliber of Top Chef doing Hell&#8217;s Kitchen&#8230; That would be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you missed Hell&#8217;s Kitchen last night, here&#8217;s the episode.
