Yes it is. She was mentioned in the first episode as the girls’ sous chef but she hasn’t seen much camera time since then.
Bumping this thread to remind everyone Hell’s Kitchen is on tonight. 
Moderator comment: Since we’re now into August, I’ve amended the title of the thread. If you’d like to continue discussing later shows, please do.
On 'tother hand, if this thread is quite long enough and you’d like to start a new thread (one thread for each two or three shows), that’s fine too, just start a new thread and let me know and I’ll close this one.
The guy with the broken wrist reminds me of somebody, can’t quite put my finger on it.
I’m thinking Frito Pendejo (Dax Shepard).
That’s what my brother and I have been calling him.
Excellent. Though I probably won’t be able to get to it until after tonight’s episode. 
Yes it’s Heather. The narrator informed us that chef Gloria was replaced by Heather.
And Scott was only “featured” getting into it with contestants in one single episode that I can remember. The sous chefs stay pretty anonymous and I would strongly bet the producers encouraged Scott to speak up last season during the time when the contestants had to run the kitchen.
OMG! That’s EXACTLY it. The SO and I have been trying to figure out if he’s on drugs, <I don’t think so b/c he’s working his BUTT off>, or just very focused or what?
I yelled downstairs to the SO “Dave is Frito Pendejo!” He didn’t even need the movie name–he yelled back up—“YES!!! That’s who he is!!!”
I think Kevin has class. He doesn’t seem to gloat or trash the women.
Kevin seems skilled, but like others, I get confused between he and Scott the sous chef.
While I certainly dont think she is capable of running a world class restaurant, I decided tonight that Amanda is a very attractive young woman…
That is all.
I don’t know the Frito character, but I’ve been thinking Lowell from Wings (Thomas Haden Church).
This was a relatively dull episode. Guys cook surf n turf, girls follow Tadpole Eyebrows right into Loserville. Although I do believe it’s the first ever appearance of Mrs. Ramsay.
The prize was so tailored to the guys…except of course Robert. Did they ever show him in a plane, or did he get screwed again? And after seeing the previews for next week…don’t tell me he’s having another heart attack?! Are they going to bring him back next season too?
Still think Jim is hot, though I did want to punch him for just a moment when he acted like he didn’t know what ingredients they were using. That whole “don’t help the girls with the menu” thing was bullshit, especially since the girls would probably screw up on their own no matter what.
Tennille needs to go home but I hope she sticks around a little longer, because she’s hilarious.
Totally orchestrated by the producers.
“Guys- be purposefully vague about how to make the special menu items. It’ll make for really good TV! And, action!”
:o I know…I know…
I agree. 
I don’t see how the challenge was tilted toward the guys at all.
The staff sergeant’s wife told them what he liked, Robert listened and put together a menu based on that, Tadpole Eyes didn’t listen, didn’t put anything together and didn’t take any input from the team.
The wife said they were fans of grilled lobster. Blue grilled theirs, Red broiled theirs. She said they liked soul food. Blue put together a soul food entree, Tadpole Eyes dissed the components in a classic soul food plate as being “so over” and then was surprised and pissy when her lack of listening to the customer ended up giving her team a loss. Hell, Whoopi even suggested a jambalya sauce and got hit with, “No, we’re not doing that.”
The challenge was tilted toward competence, and TE got served.
I loved, loved, loved the fact that Ramsay had the guys go in and bail the girls out after they’d finished entrees and the girls hadn’t sent out plate one yet. SLAP!
I was thinking Rich Hall formerly of SNL.
I’m thinking the only two women who might be competent are Ariel and Sabrina. (?) Not sure that’s her name.
OTOH, the men’s team seems to be under a curse. Broken wrists, sprained ankles, heart attacks…
Yes! My boyfriend and I have been saying the same thing this entire season.
I think Dung Beetle meant the prize was, not the challenge itself.
