'Hell's Kitchen: All-Stars' Recap: The Red Team Cackles as They Cook

Hell's Kitchen is back with more heat, both in the kitchen and amongst the all-stars. The competition continues as the remaining 11 contestants subject themselves to more stress tests and humiliating punishments all for the sake of a fat check and Head Chef position on the famous Las Vegas strip. Who will make the top 10 and who will be going home? Let's find out!

Elise is still in "high drive" as she announces to everyone that she's no longer coasting. Michelle calls her out and says that she has, in fact, been coasting. Well, now Michelle has a newfound enemy. If Elise didn't have her number before, best believe that now she has written it on her arm in permanent marker. (Not literally, but you get the idea.)

Chef Ramsay leads the all-stars into the... jungle? Yes, the dining room has been transformed into a jungle. 

Challenge: Gone Huntin'

Each team member will take a spear, representing boar, venison and elk, and run around striking complimentary ingredients in the shape of large foam squares. (Not everything can be authentic, guys!)

Van wins the battle of the boar for the Blue Team. The venison round goes to Elise who has "the best dish." Michelle isn't too happy, but this does tie the points at one each. It's all up to the elk entrees now. Will Robyn's dish win it all for her team?

The Results: Blue Team wins! 

What a comeback after the last challenge. The men, and Robyn, enjoy their win by visiting Hummingbird Nest Ranch where they will taste Petrossian caviar. Meanwhile the women are left to clean the Blue dorms, including the shower stalls. Elise reminds her team there is nothing to be proud of and that she was the lone winner in the challenge. 

Michelle decides to confront Elise, woman to woman, attempting to make amends. It falls on deaf ears because Elise is over it. She is not playing nice anymore after opening a can of worms. This can only mean disaster for dinner service.

Dinner Service

It seems no one of any notoriety cared to visit Hell's Kitchen on Jungle Night. We jump straight into service where Milly is on fire with hot appetizers in the Blue Kitchen. On the other hand, it looks like Elise is having a hard time, but Jennifer, who doesn't much care for her and finds it odd, is helping her. Why can't everyone do it this way? Oh, wait! John Rzeznik of the alternative rock group Goo Goo Dolls is now at the Red Chef's Table. Perhaps he should have stayed home, though, because the girls are cackling like hens. Four women on one station? "Do you want John to help as well?" asks Ramsay. 

The Blue Team continues to pump out dishes at a steady pace like a well-oiled machine. Despite the women trying to help one another, it looks to be more of a hindrance than a help. Manda has forgotten the pork and the floor must always be slippery because it catches its second victim this season as Manda catches herself. It doesn't phase Chef Ramsay as he leads everyone, including Chef Christina, into the pantry for a chat.

It's a short chat this time. He allows them back into the kitchen to get it right, but Michelle delivers raw chicken that Barbie has to fix. Meanwhile, the Blue Team is almost done with their service, but Robyn is overdoing it. She keeps calling everyone "Baby," even Ramsay. I'm surprised he didn't kick her out for that slip of the tongue. I suppose his attention is more focused on the failing women. After yet another raw entry, the duck this time, he lines both teams up. "No stars tonight," he says. The Red Team are sent back to the dorms and the Blue Team are instructed to clean up their mess.

Hens in the Henhouse

I could tell you what the women talk about as they vote up their bottom two, but all-in-all, it's literally just cackling. It comes down to Elise and Michelle. Elise claims that Michelle "skated through service." Jennifer comes to Elise's aid, saying she got pounded tonight and needed help. To that, Elise, Jennifer and Dana collectively "boop!" There are hand gestures to go along with it, but I'll spare everyone.

The cackles continue before Chef Ramsay. He asks one question about what went wrong, and they keep talking over him. Communication is obviously the issue here, but the display of the lack thereof is just comical. There may be some talented chefs on this team, but their mouths just might get them sent home. In this state, none of them could successfully lead their own kitchen. Finally, Jennifer announces the two cooks up for elimination: Manda for the pork and Barbie for the duck.

Going home tonight is... Manda.

So, your season 17 top 10 are Barbie, Dana, Elise, Jennifer and Michelle on the Red Team and Benjamin, Milly, Nick, Robyn and Van on the Blue Team. 

I can live with this elimination, can you? Manda was not ready to lead a kitchen, but the Red Team is full of chaos. Van dubs them the Ratchet Reds. Do you think there is any hope for the Ratchet Reds? Is there any saving grace? Or perhaps they will just crash and burn, giving the Blue Team all the more reason to shine.
