Hell's Kitchen: Call The Savoy And Tell Them To Change The Locks Yell At Your TV Commentary and Recap by RTVC Senior Staff Writer Kathleen August 11, 2010
Tonight on Hell’s Kitchen, it’s the episode you have all been waiting for, The Finale.
No, I know that very few of you are seriously invested in seeing who will win this game. The game hasn’t been real and the prize certainly isn’t. But this is the episode where they bring back the discarded and disgruntled to be helpers for those who made it to the end.
Hoo Boy.
First, let’s make a list of who among the also rans has demonstrated a fine sense of sportsmanship. Hmm. I think that’s Ed. Any more? Nope. I don’t think so.

Then we get the official voice over that says that it’s been Benjamin versus Jay as front runners all season.
