"Hell’s Kitchen" got down to a final two last night and viewers can actually start believing that the cream has risen to the top. Unfortunately, the show is still a competition and somebody has to go.

Joining me this morning is Andrea, the 13th contestant to whom Chef Gordon Ramsay has uttered the fateful words: “Take off your jacket.”

This is a “Hell’s Kitchen” interview that I didn’t expect to do until the end of this, the show’s fifth season on Fox. Joining me today is Giovanni, the steakhouse chef from Destin, Florida, who looked like he could go all the way with Chef Gordon Ramsay, until a flame out in last night’s episode.

Giovanni struggled in the first episode—which, ironically, featured his specialty, steak. But he rebounded and demonstrated not only talent but an amiable personality. Sometimes, in Hell’s Kitchen,” culinary talent is not enough.

Joining me this morning is Giovanni, the tenth contestant to whom Chef Gordon Ramsay has uttered the fateful words: “Take off your jacket.”

If you’ve been watching “Hell’s Kitchen” this season, you had to be scratching your head over the way Chef Lacey managed to avoid elimination week after week.

No disrepect to the young lady, but she appeared out of her element from the beginning, both in terms of her cooking skills and her energy level. In a series known for a cruel streak, did the producers keep her in the game for comic relief?

Last week, Chef Gordon Ramsay had had enough and he tossed Lacey before the elimination round.

Joining me this morning is Lacey, the latest contestant to whom Chef Gordon Ramsay has uttered the fateful words: “Take off your jacket.”
