WITH LOBSTER ON THE MENU, THE CONTESTANTS' CLAWS COME OUT ON "HELL'S KITCHEN" MONDAY, JULY 9, ON FOX

Winner to Become Head Chef at Fine-Dining Restaurant at Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa and Casino in Las Vegas

After barely surviving dinner service the previous night, the remaining seven contestants are faced with their next challenge: lobster. Chef Ramsay has given Melissa a new lease on life as a member of the blue team, but the boys may not consider her a welcome addition. Chef Ramsay challenges each team to prepare three appetizing and creative lobster dishes in one hour, noting that they will have to do the dirty work of picking the lobsters from their tanks and killing them. While some contestants jump at the chance, others are wary of killing their crustacean friends. In a very close decision, Chef Ramsay chooses the winning team to accompany him on a glamorous reward, while the losing team is stuck back at HELL'S KITCHEN with a decidedly less-than-glamorous task. That night at dinner service, the teams go head-to-head to prepare the winning lobster recipes for the customers. When one team has its worst dinner service of the competition thus far, an exasperated Chef Ramsay forces them to decide as a team who will go to the chopping block as "7 Chefs Compete (Again)" on HELL'S KITCHEN Monday, July 9 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HK-306) (TV-14 L)
