Stein wasn't in apologetic mood when he gave this interview:

http://www.***************/newsdetail.aspx?article=68

I didn't have much respect for him before but I've got a lot less now he's turned on Kellie ('any woman or underdog' ). He even thinks Simon should win over her

And of course he wants to be on TV a bit more now too.

The worst, cheapest bit was mentioning that his wife's starting IVF today. Poor woman, married to that sad, sordid thug, the last thing she needs is something as personal and sensitive as that being broadcast to the world.

What a sad and bitter man!!! I feel sorry for his wife...
I don't understand why he got involved in the first place. Kellie was big enough to defend herself.
Who does he think he is? Surely women don't need men like this... (if they need men at all!)

Kellie didn't even need defending, did she? JC wasn't picking on her any more than the rest of them, he was ignoring them all equally And I don't think that was particularly out of order - as Kellie said, "he's the boss, we cocked up so we're being punished". Stein's just twisting the facts to convince himself that his actions were altruistic rather than thuggish.

What a sorry excuse for a man, if he hadn't been kicked out, he wouldn't have been around to support his wife as she begun IVF treatment Let's hope he gets what he deserves and disappears back onto a building site and some TV producer somewhere doesn't decide he's the next Lizzie Bardsley

Oh nooooooooooooooo, please no, don't let that happen!! I just want to forget this guy. He's a useless bully.
Kelly has shown she has the guts and the strength to work on her own in the kitchen and I think she and JC make a brilliant team. Hope she wins.
As for the other one (whats his name again?)... well, say no more...

Well based on his first two comments, I couldn't agree with you more:

True but verbal comments theatening to cause assault need to be heeded. And as I mentioned in another thread, his approach to Chris (JC's sous chef) brandishing a kitchen utensil also made for uneasy viewing, not to mention some concern by Chris


Threw it at Henry? FFS, I hope JC never tries to play cricket. As far as I could see he just punched it to one side.


Sadly it looks like that's exactly what he wants

Stein, you may have the bug for TV, but we, the viewers, do not want to see you on it any more. Good-bye!

He's just a sad working class twonk who moans down the pub about everything that's against him.

Spot on,dawson.

Dont get me wrong, Stein is a complete tosser and I was glad to see him go but I can see how he got annoyed with Kellie, she seems to have been kissing JC's arse (And yes, I literally would too lol) all the way through - to the point when he was begging us not to vote her off the other day.

Anyway - She just rubs me up the wrong way, I cant care enough though for whoever wins after the Sam/Simon/Actor/Presenter rubbish.

I don't think kellie was kissing JC's behind .. i think it was her army training kicking in .. she knows who is in charge and gets on with it

The way i see it, is it is a competition and she just did what she is there for.
Stein felt the need to stick up for her even though she was fine about being ignored and told him so.
She deserves to win, she is obviously there to learn what she can, i cant see how that is kissing JCs a*se.

kellie won't win you poor misguided fools. it will be simon, you know? because he's camp! the camp people always win the reality shows, backed by a public that loves camp people! kellie is too normal to win a reality show. it's the truth.

That's it!!!! Well remembered.I'd wondered why she always managed to just 'get on with it'.You are right about the army training.

Didn't Stein used to be in the army too?

Yes, the Irish Guards, didn't do him much good though.

Maybe some recruits were better students than others.

So, just like Hells Kitchen then!
