'Hell's Kitchen': Jay or Holli FTW? Vote!
The seventh season of "Hell's Kitchen" heats up thanks to some tight competition but also a hot tub full of hormones.The match-up between Holli Ugalde and Jay Santos for the finale Tuesday night (Aug. 10) is something reality show producers dream of: Skilled rivals who are romantically involved.
It didn't start out that way of course, but perhaps they both saw the passion, the panache, the palate the other possessed. Both have been relatively, consistently strong, so is it now just a matter of experience?
Jay, 32 - Jay is obviously more experienced and is quite at home expediting. There's no arguing with his skills or poise, but he still second guesses himself at times. Shouldn't an experienced chef know venison when he tastes it? Hmm, perhaps he's a bit too distracted by the phermones wafting his way from ...
Holli, 24 - This young single mom may have a sweet face, but don't be fooled. She has a lot of drive and natural talent. She's not quite as comfortable on the pass and freezes up on occasion. Whether this is weaker leadership skills or just inexperience remains to be seen. She's a pretty solid chef, and with her son, we'd hope she keeps her eye on the prize and not on her blue-haired flirtation.
So, will it be the Boston executive chef or the Redlands banquet chef? Perhaps they should just team up and share a hot tub along with the gig of head chef at The Savoy Grill in London. That ought to make Chef Gordon Ramsay proud, right?

Gordon should can them both and let Ben have it.
Ben doesn't know how to talk to kitchen staff.
Holli, she not cocky just confident
Jay couldn't make a proper upscale dessert if his life depended on it: This is why Holli has an edge.
The Savoy in London isnt a dessert place. Can holly.
Jay is way more talented and experienced. How did Holli get there??? And Ben may be complete horses arse, but he can run circles around Holli. He should have been there, despite his lack of cummunication skills.
@Cindy- Desserts are not what makes a great chef. Those are put on the backburner while the REAL food is getting served.
Holli knows her kitchen. Jay is good at leadership but he's had years of experience over Holli so keeping that in mind, shouldn't he be head and shoulders better than her? He's not. He's barely even with her. Put her in at the Savoy and watch her round out any skills she's currently lacking. By the time she's Jay's age, she'll be running circles around what he was able to do at the same age.
I am sooooo happy holli WON,
jay is a total HORSES ***!!!!
He should not have even made it this far ... if he was head chef soooo many peeps would have quit his first year cause he is abrasive to people he doesn't like! Total A-hole
It's very clear why the lady won and it wasn't because of her cooking skills. Gorden Ramsey is a carnal man but it's his show so cute women who are in desperate situations should apply. And African American chefs need not aply obviously ! Way to keep it real I guess Gordon.
