Gordon Ramsay is under the heat lamp these days, with his brother's Indonesian heroin bust woes and allegations of him faking his other reality show, "Kitchen Nightmares."

But he was his usual profane and feisty self as the latest "Hell's Kitchen" put the flame to the feet of the apprentice chefs.

Machismo and Chef Ramsay wrangling don't mix very well in "Hell's Kitchen."  The one guy who had to react to Chef's eyeballing him was Vinnie.   He became the human sacrifice offering to the Escoffier Gods this week.

Trashed Beef Wellingtons and a bad attitude done him in.

Favorite Julia is Queen of the Americana basics, but the rest of the girls screw up dinner service. Yet despite this, the girls get to dine with Gordon and it is another femme fatale feast as Ramsay is surrounded by batting eyelashes and baloney.

There was the palate test were they had to eat foulness such as tripe, tongue and stomach lining. 

65% of the customers for dinner service said in the comment cards that they wouldn’t come back because the food was too slow.

Jen and Rock were chosen as the leaders of their teams, and each had to choose a person to eliminate.

No surprises, Rock guns again for chief competitor Josh to eliminate, and Jen nominates mouthy Melissa. 

Ramsay smells their Machiavellian con game like a funky shrimp, and overrules them by selecting Bonnie and Vinnie for the chopping block.

Vinnie boom-batzed.
