    One thing i loved about Dave is that when Chef Ramsey began about his arm, it was always in a calm manner. He never yelled at Dave for being stupid to push through, yet kept making it clear that he shouldn't push beyond his body.

    • @sup3rkidd333
      @sup3rkidd333 Před měsícem +26

      It majorly helped Dave that he was so strong in service that he never really gave Ramsey a reason to yell at him, if Dave was bad he would've gotten shouted at. Ramsey's concern over Dave's arm was more likely due to worrying that it getting worse could cost Dave his dream, especially since Ramsey knows what it's like. He knew how much it meant to Dave

    Episode 4 also gave us a gem in the form of quite possibly the most blatant evidence to date that the episodes are edited out of order, since you can see Dave running around in the background of multiple shots before his "return" mid-service.

    to be fair to andy, from what I remember he was left handed, and he cut his left hand. his injury wasn't as bad as dave's but it was his dominant hand and i can imagine that's hard to work around.
    still, the fact that andy blamed his hand INSTANTLY while dave had only complained in his confessionals speaks volumes. its one of the reasons I admire dave - he never used his hand as an excuse, and fought to stay despite the pain.

    If one day someone will win HK with no arms, no legs, blindfolded and deaf, then I'll THINK about changing my mind, but for now... there is no winner or a contestant I respect and adore more than Dave Freaking Levy. Not many moments in HK can make my jaw drop, and yet him working 2 stations at the same time in ep9 left me absolutely speechless. Also not many moments can make me cry in HK, and yet the moment his doors opened I teared up like a baby. Simply a legend and icon, and I doubt that we'll ever going to see someone like this again.

      It's not exactly the same, but Cody managed to place 4th in a STACKED season despite being physically unable to smell or taste anything. (He kept it to himself during filming most likely so people wouldn't try to sabotage him, but he lost those senses due to an illness.) On top of that, I'm sure the only reason he placed 4th is because of how he handled Mary Lou at the pass, because he was a beast in challenges, was easily the most consistent on the line, and could have easily won most other seasons. *And* he managed to be Mary Lou's MVP in the finals.
      I'm guessing Cody's accomplishments aren't celebrated as much as Dave's because he makes it nearly impossible to tell he had such a major handicap. I had to re-watch S19, but the only hints of this are that he was the sole person who didn't complain about drinking the disgusting milkshakes, and that he bombed the first black jacket challenge (Taste It Now Make It)
