@@ZakotaVenomIt was 100% rigged for Elise, but there was no way they producers could make a convincing argument to choose her over Paul or Will. I mean, Tommy and Jennifer were 10x better than she was
Not only that, but constantly get into fights with the team over trivial things You would think Gordon would not want someone like that taking charge of one of his locations if all they do is argue and make mistakes
Yeah but she eventually got eliminated the week after so technically it doesn't count, her elimination is more like a Most sastify eliminations kind of category. I would love to watch a video about that, the villains finally get the chop lol
@@nevenpatrk9661 Ironically Patrick replaced her in final dinner service as she didn't even return to help Justin or Christina. But, then again, that girl doesn't have a passion and has a bad attitude, maybe she realizes she doesn't belong there.
Honestly, I’m happy that Jennifer got her revenge in All-Stars. Elise deserved to go home in the final 5 as she made 17 mistakes! Can you do history of Team Switches, next?
@@joseluissilvazegarra I loved seeing Elise crying her eyes out at the finale scene because she was upset that Michelle had won. She had even tried to sabotage Michelle in the finale service, but Michelle still won. During the finale celebration, Michelle was nice enough to ask Elise if she was ok and Elise didn't even have the sportsmanship spirit to congratulate her for winning.
The reason why Tommy lasted so long despite his many inconsistencies and mistakes was because of his levelheaded ness and phenomenal attitude. Even when he was down in the trenches or doing a punishment, he never lost his cool and was always open to improving. That’s why he made it so far and why Chef Ramsay told him that he belongs in a kitchen.
And because Elise was around, who was far worse than him. And also because of Jamie, Natalie and Elizabeth's downfalls and Carrie being generally useless and no better than Elise
You can’t dislike Tommy, he had so much passion and such a great personality during a season of nasty personality’s. Not to mention the trio of Tommy, Paul, and Will was always great to see during the season.
I kinda dislike him, not as much as Elise, but he was consistently dreadful (made mistakes in every service and only stayed due to the blue team winning or worse chefs), and that 12 year gap between him and his girlfriend whilst talking about marriage, whilst not dodgy, it rubs me the wrong way
@ParadoxVexalmate, one was just of legal age, the other is 31, I'm not saying that they didn't get together that same year, I'm saying that it's dodgy the year gap AND talking about marriage when one of them can't even drink
Robyn is a perfect example of how genuine confidence is everything. How far she went without having to be any good. Confidence can carry you in the same way luck can.
Like she even fooled me, my memories were of her being inconsistent but having some skills, but rewatching it recently, nah it’s just her extreme confidence. Honestly I’m kind of jealous, I wish I could be that confident. 😅
Paulie being all like "you know, why should I even try? It's not me in the finale" during the finale dinner service is one of the most hair-pulling things I've ever seen a chef say on this show. Would still love to see a video on the worst final brigade chefs, nearly every season has one really egregious one, be it performance, attitude or both
His attitude was even worse than what we saw on the show. According to Ryan, she was pulled aside by Paulie prior to dinner service, and Paulie tried to proposition her by offering to fight to his fullest if he was promised a cut of her winnings. Ryan, of course, answered to that with a well-deserved middle finger.
@@ShadowLinkxMaster Dang that's wild, after how much Justin was screwed over by Royce, Barbie and Clemenza, the idea any of these final brigade chefs wanna have the finalists over a barrel like that is disgusting.
I forgot how truly awful Paulie was in this series until I rewatched it. Horrible attitude, constant whining, completely two face, I wish I could say I'm upset about him dying, but I can't, so all I can say is; at least he's a better human being than Matt.
@@ZionKraze I saw a clip on CZcams today and it headlined to me how much of a douche Paulie actually was. It was a video on fusion dishes and Ryan was having issues with figuring out what to do with a France and Japanese dish as she was inexperienced in both cuisines. So instead of helping her out like a real teammate would, this mfer just says "I will take great satisfaction in watching her sink." I was just sitting there like "Dude, you are a 3 person team and it is a challenge. If she tanks on her dish, it you puts your team in a position to lose the challenge." So either Paulie was being flat out dumb, felt very confident that he was going to knock his dish out of the park and carry his team to victory (which he didn't), or he was just screwing with her just because he could. He'd better thank his lucky stars that Ryan singlehandedly won the blue team that challenge or he would be looking really stupid right now.
First thing in my mind is Lacey in Season 5 in final dinner service who constantly whining and makes everyone else losing their mind and also makes Paula lost. Giovanni also whined that he doesn't wanna be there but he only said it in confessional room.
Elise surving elimination for so long and then coming back for another season made me feel like she was just a plant in the show for numbers because of how much drama she brought.
Tommy will forever be one of my favorite contestants on Hell's Kitchen OR Cutthroat Kitchen. Guy is just unflappable, optimistic, and hardworking, and he has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that really makes you root for him
@@arhammuharram1881 when i said independently i mean outside of ramsay, sous chef christina is the most successful, she's ramsays American director of culinary.
Tommy is the kind of person you know isnt ready for head chef but you still root for in hopes that he's able to learn a lot from the experience and be successful in life outside of the show.
Tommy from Season 9, wasn't lucky. There is one big thing Chef Ramsay saw in him that was evident than most of the chefs that were eliminated before him: creativity. He was very unorthodox, but his dishes had real flare. And he had moments during service where you could see him being an assertive leader, which is what Ramsay also saw.
Unfortunately for Tommy, he couldn’t correct his flaw of not talking and going quiet at the worst possible times. Still I’m happy he earned Chef Ramseys respect
@@ryhi5 Exactly. Chef Ramsay was hoping that Tommy would find his voice, because there were points that he had the potential. As you said, he just couldn't correct it.
That moment where Tommy dared Ramsay to follow up with his threat more than likely gained more respect from chef than lost. Those were some iron-clad balls he had to say that to his face.
I think a cool idea for a future video would be the most heartfelt eliminations. This doesn’t mean sad eliminations like Jessica or Chris but rather eliminations where Ramsay greatly praised the chef and they left on a high note.(A few examples could be Milly or Motto)
Elise is definitely the one you remember the most. How she wasn't socked unconscious by the other contestants one night will remain a mystery for years to come.
I gotta say, me and my girlfriend just watched Season 9 for the first time last month. Every episode, we were begging that Tommy would stick around and make it to the black jackets. We were so excited when he made it as far as he did. That blue team core of Tommy, Will and Paul kept me going so hard that season.
Barbie all though average in the kitchen was scape goated by her entire team the entire season it was gross to watch came across as border line racist at times it was bizarre.
The funniest, most infuriating thing about Elise constantly staying in her first season, was in that very same season, Ramsay kicked Chino out for being put up for elimination 3 times "3 strikes and you're out" Yet Elise went up at least 5 times, but the same didn't apply to her. So blatantly obvious that the producers were whispering in his ear to keep her as long as possible
Say what you want about Elise, she can cook pretty well but her loud mouth buried her talent. Most of the time she got nominated for Red Team because of her attitude. Same with Sabrina in Season 8, ironically, she alongside with Jillian and Gail are the saving Grace of the Red Team and even winner Nona is totally inconsistent. Let's not forget how they nominated her for not doing the prep list and yeah, that's the only time I agree with Sabrina for being pissed because the reason is so dumb.
I would definitely say Sabrina from S8, she was argumentative, literally appointed for elimination every round, and couldn’t follow directions. The fact she got a Black Jacket was frustrating
A chef that survived way too long was Susan from Season 11. The only reason she made it as far as she did was because of the Blue Team being awful, but she was a clear weak link all season.
Also, she mostly a trainwreck in Meat Station especially on lamb. And remember the time when the Black Jackets have to compete with the winners and then she said: "Yeah, we're gonna beat these guys!" With a giant *Towel* in her head? Annnddd they lost anyway. What an airhead.
@@myu5519 While we can all agree that Susan wasn’t black jacket material, she still made it further than those who had more experience than her and did worse than her that season. Not to mention she was a rookie out of culinary school. Other than Mary, Ja’nel and Cyndi on the red team, I didn’t see anyone else worthy of a black jacket and Susan getting one was kinda a big accomplishment too.
I do believe Robyn over stayed her welcome, but i always loved her passion. So while I thought some other chefs deserved to stay over her, for TV reasoning I liked her staying over someone like Elise who makes good TV by being a villian.
The fact she made it over Hassan and Chad are crazy enough. I guess those two guys got drained by The Red Team Season 15's toxicity that made them got slipping. Meamwhile, Manda who got transferred to Blue Team always stand up to herself whenever Frank bullying her because of his sexism attitude and she made it far than him. I'm not a big fan of Manda because she sounds annoying like she's mumbling all the time but good for her to be brave and more spoken. Also, she left the competition gracefully.
Jackie had massive maturity issues but her potential was obvious, since she had only been cooking professionally for a few months when she got on the show. She mostly benefitted from the blue team not being able to get out of its own way.
Loved this video and man. I felt your rage when talking about Robyn surviving over Van. I could hear the anger we all possessed at that moment. Truly great work once again
“ With Gabriel causing such a disaster in the kitchen tonight, it was hard to tell who else I should send home so I gave everyone a thrill of getting a black jacket but someone will definitely be going home after the next dinner service.” “Making it to the black jackets was a dream come true for Robyn, but cooking against the runner-up was a reality check for her and for me.” “ I’ve always admired Robyn’s no nonsense attitude, but tonight, she had the wrong attitude and served up a lot of nonsense.”
I respect her for that, the blue team didn't make any huge mistakes that service, and got kicked out due to Robyn's mistake, where S10, is the season of the kickouts
@@nachoalvarez7171Not to mention, Ramsay didn’t start eliminating chefs off the winning team until the next season with Carol in Season 5, so yeah between Louross and Jen, I do think Petrozza made the right choice by choosing Louross to go home at the final 7.
To be honest I like the black jacket lounge challenges. While doing well in service is important, being chef Ramsey head chef you have to be able to cook basic dishes and be able to be creative. You never know what’s going to happen in a professional kitchen, someone can go home sick or not show up, a vender can deliver more of a item then needed and you need to jump on the line or make a dish using said item.
Definetly deserved a part 2 for this video: -Sabrina Season 8: She's always making the same excuse "I'm YoUnG, I'M StilL 22, Chef!" And point fingers to everybody whenever she's getting nominated and even likes to insult her teammates. How the hell she made it to Black Jacket? -Fran Season 7: Even though Autumn has a lot of nominations tied with Virginia, Clemenza, Elise ,Scott and Sabrina with 7 nominations , Fran is way worse than her as Autumn is lucky to be carried by the Blue Team most of the time. Also, Fran is a total Karen and she alongside with Siobhan and Scott are The 3 Stooges of The Red Team Season 7 as they mostly are the main culprits of why The Red Team always lost since Siobhan is insecure and Scott is full of himself. It's always Holli, Nilka and Benjamin who carried the team. -Marc and Jordan Season 19: Marc mostly being a loud mouth and even stayed over Adam and Jordan just lucky to be there as she has up and down of dinner services. Oh yeah, let's not forget how she swift the blame to Nikki even though she screwed up the dinner service for sending wrong meat and made the Red Team got kicked out! I would consider Amber but she's not a bad chef, she only just likes to panic and complains a lot but she at least a better chef than those two. -Zacky Wacky from Season 11: Have a strong start by saving opening night only to become wackier in furture episode and also one of the main culprits why the Blue Team always lost. -Andy Season 6: He mostly just there for being a liability and yes, let's not forget how he suggested to nominate Robert who got hospitalized at the time for a bad service but thankfully, Van immediately switched to him. Also, he complained about his broken thumb and can't do anything right while Dave survived with one broken arm for weeks. Also, he got caught for not doing anything in one dinner service and Gordon kicked him out. -Josie Season 20: The cast of this season isn't bad but Josie is having the same storyline every time, 1. Being a vegan 2. Simping to Emily 3. Repeat While Emily is a good cook herself and has bubbly personality, she at least can concentrate at competition and cook good meat despite being vegan, Josie is totally inconsistent. -Trev Season 18: Season 8 Trev isn't bad but Season 18 Trev is a trainwreck. He's the second worst veteran along with Jen but Jen only has short rounds as she got kicked out mid service. Trev mostly caused the Red Team losing on challenges and he only enjoyed one reward. -Jackie Season 15: This girl is a loud mouth and has no filter. Also, she dumped an ashtray to Kristin and always threaten to hurt somebody.
Yeah Andy using Robert's health against him is one of the most messed up ways I have ever seen anyone try to weasel their way out of elimination. Thank God Van had some sense to call out how insanely fucked up that was. Also, Fran was very lucky that she was on one of the worst teams of all time as while she was bad, she was usually put up against chefs that sucked more than she did like Jamie, Maria, and Scott. If she was on the S7 Blue team, she would be one of the 1st ones going home on that team.
Now I can agree about Trev. While he wasn't too bad in Season 8, however, when he did return for Season 18, he gotten worse. It kind of makes you wonder how in the hell did he get worse in the amount of time that lapsed between Season 8 and Season 18.
@@lerx_mex7601 Looking back at Season 19, Jordan mostly get babysits by Kori or Nikki on service while Marc and Amber can carry of their own even when they make several mistakes.
Tommy is one of my absolute favourite HK contestants mainly cause of his personality. He was a very weak chef at times, though especially his communication skills.
I agree! To quote, "I like chicken wings, domestic beer, and motorcycle rides" says it all! Plus Tommy reminded me of Howard Wolowitz of Big Bang Theory...if he was a rocking biker!😂😂
And he had previously said she was 18, while he's 31 and talking about marriage. Even if people keep saying "she's legal, they're both adults" it has never sat right with me in this instance.
Im happy Robyn stayed because her redemption (from dislikable in 8 to likeable) was one of the best parts of that scuffed all stars season. Not to mention her strong challenge performances after surviving cook for your life probably bought her some timr I think Scott in season 12 was also helped through some eliminations by his challenge performance
true but Keith remark that he thinks Ramsey picked her because he had a "h*** **" for Virginia doesn't exactly paint Keith in a good light either. I get being bitter but people seem to give Keith a pass for that remark but villainize Russell for being a sore loser.
@@redlox2 That's because Russell was a complete bully his entire season, threatening to beat people up! Also what's worse, getting Ramsay husband opinion in the loss, or again Russell threatening his entire team for his loss. The dude threatened to "blackballed" his entire team after the show!
I think the reason why certain chefs like Elise and Robyn stay is because they do have loud mouths not only is it good to but do you think Gordon isn’t going to like someone who is assertive. Most chefs who get eliminated from the show despite being good chefs are the ones who don’t have a voice or crumble with no fight back.
I came up with a term for a contestant that overstayed their welcome and should have been eliminated from a Gordon Ramsey show. It's called "The Cutter Dodge", named after the guy from Season 5 of Masterchef who should have been eliminated in the first go, got incredibly unlikable with each episode he stayed, and somehow made it to 4th.
I kind of had a hunch this would be the video for this week. If you ever do a two parter, some choices could be… Josh S3 Matt S4 Fran S7 Like half of the black jackets of S8 Zach S11 Jackie Frank and Manda S15
I was specifically looking for Josh and Matt in this video. How in the bloody hell did Josh ever make it to black jackets despite having zero shining moments in the show??
I know Virginia didn't do well in S2, but she was so much better when she came back for the runner-up service in S10 that it was obvious she had grown quite a bit. She obviously kept surviving because of the weaknesses of her competitors.
yeah I don't know why Flynn has such a hate-boner for her and he's dead wrong when he says everyone considers her the worst finalist, not worse then Russell that's for damn sure.
@@jadedheartsz yeah and i think Flynn ignores the fact that she got sexual remarks aimed at her during the show. Keith outright accuses Ramsey of having a "ha** **" for Virginia (making even Heather shocked) which Flynn ironically uses the clip but instead uses it as a reason why Virginia did not deserve her runner up status.
@@redlox2 I actually thinking maybe back in Season 2, Ramsay secretly simping to Virginia because yeah, Virginia herself is kinda hot hence why he saved her many times even though she should be eliminated a long time ago. Don't forget how she's always making the Red Team losing because of her insecurity and also how Sara likes to bully her many times. Oh yeah, let's not forget she chose her final brigade team just because they were the weakest chefs even she admits herself even though one of them were Keith, who was one of the strongest chefs in the season along with Heather and she picked Tom who is the big donkey and Giacomo who is a decent rookie but still makes mistakes. My God, how pathetic she is.
The first chef that came to my mind on who overstayed their welcome was season 7 Fran. How she made to 8th while being nominated almost every episode she was on, I will never know.
I feel like around the beginning Gordon has a good idea of who he’s going to keep and who he is not. and when people who show potential fail he takes the opportunity to eliminate them, already knowing he doesn’t want them as his head chef; and keeps sucky chefs in as easy eliminations later on when it becomes harder to pick what chef he wants as his headchef
Definitely. Both could have gone home, but he definitely had to because no network can responsibly say it’s ok for participants to destroy property. I guess even Ramsay saw that and eliminated him after claiming in earlier seasons that he didn’t care what happened in the dorms.
Robyn making it to two black jacket spots is crazy, especially in All Stars when Jennifer should have had that fifth jacket. I reckon Trev (S8), Susan (S11), Santos (S13) and Jared and Manda (S15) only got black jackets because of the lack of quality in their respective seasons
I will say Manda also had a few good services compared to others while I will Agree she was eliminated at the right time in Season 15 she wasn’t talentless
Susan(season 11) had a couple of good moments here and there and with the blue team obviously falling like dominoes and with some of the red team members not being that worthy for a black jacket(minus Mary, Cyndi and Ja’nel). Well you could argue that Anthony did deserve another chance, we can’t forget that he was on a major downward spiral in the last couple of challenges before his final dinner service. He scored 0-4 on the bland taste challenge and the blue team lost that challenge because of him. Now I will agree that Zach should of been eliminated that episode but I guess Jon saw Anthony as a bigger threat than Zach. Now did Anthony deserve a black jacket over Susan or Cyndi? Yes because he was a better chef than both of them but at the same time not really. With his last couple of performances, his performances could of been much worse. I mean either way he wasn’t gonna win especially Zach, Susan or Cyndi.
There's a couple chef I really like in Hell's Kitchen. Petrozza is one of them. He was humble and all and even if he got down a couple time and said he was done, he fought back. There's one time he nominated himself and that is something I have very much respect for him. RIP Petrozza
Yeah he was awesome. I honestly liked Ralph. I was rooting for him the first time I watched season 1. He's one of maybe 2 chefs that A. pretty much never fucked up in service and B. didn't ever get flustered no matter how crazy things got.
@@stephsaguudefan1753 Because Ralph already a chef before even joined Hell's Kitchen and after Hell's Kitchen, he becomes a succesful restauranter even one of his Sous Chef, Royce was a contestant in Season 10. Honestly, it's obvious Michael and Ralph would be in final 2 since they both are the only chefs of Season One. But, Michael mostly play dirty by playing mind games while Ralph mostly playing by-the-book
I'm convinced the producers of the show are the ones that kept those people on just for drama. Also I'm convinced Chef Ramsay has an earpiece when he's about to eliminate someone or not
I know All-Stars has a bunch of bs eliminations, but I love how they completely dunked on Elise in that season. They must have realized she got away too scott-free, and fans couldn't have that. The last episode for me is the most satisfying and euphoric moment in the show for its last scenes of her wallowing in her own misery. Plus, we got more of Nick than Elise overall. That's a net positive I'll gladly take
Elizabeth should've got the black jacket that Elise did, hands down. First time up and going home over a repeat nominee? What was Chef thinking? That's one of the hardest eliminations for me.
I'll work under an abusive head chef over a colleague who'll make a thousand facial expressions a day everytime if I was given a choice, seriously I really cant stand those kind of people.
because frankly speaking at some point when they're doing it so often it makes you wonder if it's really just an act for the cameras or is it the real personality coming out.
To be fair about Van in the All Star season, he DID lose his voice in service and Ramsey pointed him out to hear from him. And I guess Van wasn't interested anymore. Like he said in his elimination quote that he's not the weakest chef on the blue team no doubt. He just wants to make people happy with food.
@@AlessandroChiarelli In that service, though, she straight-up did nothing wrong in that particular service. She was only thrown in the bottom because of the classic "nominate who the team views as the overall weak link". Yet it was clear she was thrown in the bottom to shield Van, and Ramsay saw through that.
Koop should have definitely stayed over Paulie. The S16 blue team was really messed up in general though that season in terms of personality and skills!
i think trev outstayed his welcome, especially in season 18, sure, he struggled lots in season 8, but there was worse chefs than him on his team (raj, boris, etc), he didn’t necessarily get off to a strong start in season 18 but he did perform arguably worse than he did the last time he was in HK, he blamed his mistakes on his teammates at the final 8, and deservingly got eliminated at the final 7, while i don’t think he deserved to get literally bullied by his teammates, he didn’t deserve a black jacket, it was his time to go.
@@rikusalenius4265 Jose blames Trev for sinking on the fish station episode 9 when he made more mistakes than Trev did and at least Trev bounced back. Next episode they blame him for scallops when Brett literally admit he cooked them, they mostly blamed Trevor for the raw veals when motto also cooked them (pretty sure it was definitely motto who cooked the raw ones as he cooked 7 and Trev cooked 5 and only 7 were brought back) motto in the next episode refused to communicate with Trevor and even admit to sabotaging him.
@@lerx_mex7601 i get where you are coming from, but the way i see it, yes jose made more mistakes than trev in episode 9, but trev still underperformed, in episode 10, it was both brett and trev cooking scallops, and the way episode potrayed it was trev who screwed the scallops and blamed brett while it was either trev alone or both him and motto who screwed up the veal, but he didnt want to own up to anything like jose said, and in the next episode motto and brett could have communicated better with trev at the start, but they just didnt want to deal with his inconsistency anymore, like he still screwed up the meat station and then blamed brett for it, so no it was trev who downplayed his mistakes or just blamed them on other people, one of the reasons why he wasnt very respected.
In fairness, a lot of the mid boots in season 18 weren't all that good, except for Gizzy who had confidence issues and was eliminated far too early so that Chef Ramsay could keep Scotley around and the talent of that season was very top-heavy. Trev also benefitted from Kevin giving up and T's collapse on meat more than anyone. He got spared over Scotley because he showed next to no passion by the end of his run, which was evident to Ramsay when Trev put him on blast for making snacks during a punishment. Jose also shit the bed in his final service, which made him the obvious boot for the final 8.
You could say that Elise's All Star run was also very fluky, as she was put up for nomination another 5 times in All Stars, including 3 straight nominations before she was finally eliminated at the black jacket lounge challenge. And there are some real headscratchers in there, like Ben being sent home from the winning team while Elise was on the chopping block. Even the contestant couldn't believe that Ben was sent home, as he didn't have a great service but he didn't have a bad enough service to be sent home first. And then she survives over Dana in the final 8, where Dana had 1 bad service all season and hadn't been nominated up to that point. God All Stars has to be the most rigged HK season in all the worst ways.
@@eltoro_ttv I mean can we confirm that? Usually when they are potential health concerns, the person just leaves without elimination. I mean, look at Robert in S5 as a prime example.
@@nevenpatrk9661 "Ben, get up here. I haven't taken my eye off you since you came back to Hell's Kitchen. I don't think you can go the distance." He saw Ben almost collapse on opening night
Because Elise was actually talented, though inconsistent. I love Elise however, not for her personality (I know she is awful lol) but for her entertainment value in the show. She is hilarious to me. But when Elise does good, she really does good. When she is bad she falls apart lol.
I still think a dangerous mistake like raw chicken should instantly send you home. If the food you're confidently sending out has the chance of killing someone, you're not ready to be a head chef full stop.
hey man! Love this hells kitchen content. Throwing an idea out there. Maybe you could do a video where you rank all the finalist duos, so like all the finals in hells kitchen, based on how they were at the pass, the talent the two finalists showed during the season etc...
Actually, I thought of an interesting topic for the channel, which was the most lopsided dinner services in Hell’s Kitchen history. My number one, personally, is Season 6 Episode 5, where the blue team finished entrees, before the women even finished their first TICKET.
To be fair, you have a 3-hour dinner service edited to about 20 minutes. Maybe some of these people are spectacular when they're not making mistakes, just something to consider
Elise added what every memorable 'reality' TV season/series needs... a villain it was fun to root against. She stuck around because she rewarded the producers and editors with an overabundance of useable clips.
Elise could cook and boss people around is why she stayed. Gordon likes leadership over timid people. But she choked bad and should of been bounced earlier for sure.
I feel like he forgot to point out that when the blue team lost their first service with Robyn on it in season 17 she went up on the chopping block that night AND rather than admit to the fact that she had mistakes she immediately asked to go back to her previous team 😮😮 I honestly think Robyn got lucky that Jared (who originally offered to push her and elevate her when she had made the switch) had a terrible service that round
maybe for a video "Runner ups who were possibly sabotaged by their own team and didn't win" i think Russell and Virginia had cases where their teams were actively against them
Fran from Season 7 should've gotten the boot much sooner than she did. Same with Jackie from Season 15, her far from mature attitude was beyond exhausting.
Jackie was a big cause of the season 15 red team 's problems. The difference in morale and performance once she was gone and it was just Kristen, Ariel and Ashley was apparent
Robyn got to final 6 in Season 10 because the producers wanted drama. But in season 17, it almost feels as if although the producers still want her to stay for drama, she wanted to use that time to actually improve and work her way up there. She turned her bitchiness into enthusiasm, and was resilient as heck. Did she deserve the 2nd black jacket? No, but she definitely earned it.
@@JoppingBen10Fan Robyn was genuinely enjoyable to watch in season 17. Imperfect, but owns up to her mistakes and lives up to her nickname: Bounce-back queen.
Ya rewatched S17 as the official HK reuploaded. The hate towards S17 Robyn is uncalled for. The night where Van got eliminated, Robyn didn't even do anything wrong, why SHOULD she go home?
Matt for me was a shocking black jacket. Its like people who continue to mess up get chance after chance but then when talented chefs mess up once they get eliminated. I'm happy to defer to Ramsey in terms of seeing potential for chefs but chefs like Matt and Elise made no sense to me and often made me wonder if it wasn't ratings driven.
I really didn’t like how much you dissed Robyn, cause yes even tho she made a ton of mistakes, she took down villains. And she did well in challenges (except the sig dish in all-stars) and became an underdog. I think she deserved her spots. And I do think it was bs for Gio and Jennifer and Brian, but I think Robyn was still good
Fun Fact: The diners have to sign that they are not guaranteed a meal but are guaranteed all the free beer, wine and bread they want.

Elise was nominated like 8 times throughout Season 9, but she survived every time. How she stayed over Jennifer while making 17 errors is beyond me.

Another contestant who overstayed their welcome is Tiffany from Season 10. She admitted she only cared "like a 9" and somehow survived elimination.
But her elimation was satisfying!
Yeah but she eventually got eliminated the week after so technically it doesn't count, her elimination is more like a Most sastify eliminations kind of category. I would love to watch a video about that, the villains finally get the chop lol

Honestly, I’m happy that Jennifer got her revenge in All-Stars. Elise deserved to go home in the final 5 as she made 17 mistakes! Can you do history of Team Switches, next?
Yeah, me too, so happy Jennifer got her revenge, though I wish she made it to black jacket, it would've made the revenge even sweeter.
The thing was that karma bited Elise ass back at her
@@joseluissilvazegarraNatalie was the best team switch since that Blue Team was so supportive
@@quangminhtran2916 right that would've been the icing on the cake but hey I'll still take it
@@joseluissilvazegarra I loved seeing Elise crying her eyes out at the finale scene because she was upset that Michelle had won. She had even tried to sabotage Michelle in the finale service, but Michelle still won. During the finale celebration, Michelle was nice enough to ask Elise if she was ok and Elise didn't even have the sportsmanship spirit to congratulate her for winning.
The reason why Tommy lasted so long despite his many inconsistencies and mistakes was because of his levelheaded ness and phenomenal attitude. Even when he was down in the trenches or doing a punishment, he never lost his cool and was always open to improving. That’s why he made it so far and why Chef Ramsay told him that he belongs in a kitchen.
And because Elise was around, who was far worse than him. And also because of Jamie, Natalie and Elizabeth's downfalls and Carrie being generally useless and no better than Elise
Shout out Tommy, one of my favorites contestants of all time.
@@H4ckerOfSoulsI know right same
You can’t dislike Tommy, he had so much passion and such a great personality during a season of nasty personality’s. Not to mention the trio of Tommy, Paul, and Will was always great to see during the season.
It doesn’t excuse for his terrible cooking skills
@@lerx_mex7601 he was inconsistent, but I still loved him on the show.
I kinda dislike him, not as much as Elise, but he was consistently dreadful (made mistakes in every service and only stayed due to the blue team winning or worse chefs), and that 12 year gap between him and his girlfriend whilst talking about marriage, whilst not dodgy, it rubs me the wrong way
@ParadoxVexalmate, one was just of legal age, the other is 31, I'm not saying that they didn't get together that same year, I'm saying that it's dodgy the year gap AND talking about marriage when one of them can't even drink
To me, Tommy was a far better chef than Elise and it would have been great seeing him come back for All Stars instead of Ben.
Robyn is a perfect example of how genuine confidence is everything. How far she went without having to be any good. Confidence can carry you in the same way luck can.
Like she even fooled me, my memories were of her being inconsistent but having some skills, but rewatching it recently, nah it’s just her extreme confidence. Honestly I’m kind of jealous, I wish I could be that confident. 😅
Jennifer should have definitely gotten a black jacket in All Stars! She was so consistent the entire season and definitely deserved one over Robyn.
i think based on consistency definitely, but overall she never really had perfomances where she stood out, while robin had some.
I agree. but at least she got her revenge on Elise
Why Robyn? What's wrong with her?
At least Jennifer and Robyn defeated the dragon lady
@@kibaanazuka332 right
Paulie being all like "you know, why should I even try? It's not me in the finale" during the finale dinner service is one of the most hair-pulling things I've ever seen a chef say on this show.
Would still love to see a video on the worst final brigade chefs, nearly every season has one really egregious one, be it performance, attitude or both
His attitude was even worse than what we saw on the show. According to Ryan, she was pulled aside by Paulie prior to dinner service, and Paulie tried to proposition her by offering to fight to his fullest if he was promised a cut of her winnings.
Ryan, of course, answered to that with a well-deserved middle finger.
@@ShadowLinkxMaster Dang that's wild, after how much Justin was screwed over by Royce, Barbie and Clemenza, the idea any of these final brigade chefs wanna have the finalists over a barrel like that is disgusting.
I forgot how truly awful Paulie was in this series until I rewatched it. Horrible attitude, constant whining, completely two face, I wish I could say I'm upset about him dying, but I can't, so all I can say is; at least he's a better human being than Matt.
@@ZionKraze I saw a clip on CZcams today and it headlined to me how much of a douche Paulie actually was. It was a video on fusion dishes and Ryan was having issues with figuring out what to do with a France and Japanese dish as she was inexperienced in both cuisines. So instead of helping her out like a real teammate would, this mfer just says "I will take great satisfaction in watching her sink." I was just sitting there like "Dude, you are a 3 person team and it is a challenge. If she tanks on her dish, it you puts your team in a position to lose the challenge." So either Paulie was being flat out dumb, felt very confident that he was going to knock his dish out of the park and carry his team to victory (which he didn't), or he was just screwing with her just because he could. He'd better thank his lucky stars that Ryan singlehandedly won the blue team that challenge or he would be looking really stupid right now.
First thing in my mind is Lacey in Season 5 in final dinner service who constantly whining and makes everyone else losing their mind and also makes Paula lost. Giovanni also whined that he doesn't wanna be there but he only said it in confessional room.
Elise surving elimination for so long and then coming back for another season made me feel like she was just a plant in the show for numbers because of how much drama she brought.
Makes sense to me…
Tommy will forever be one of my favorite contestants on Hell's Kitchen OR Cutthroat Kitchen. Guy is just unflappable, optimistic, and hardworking, and he has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that really makes you root for him
If you can't cook you are useless
Virginia is a odd one, because as of today she owns 4 restaurants in texas, she seems to be the most independently successful runner up ever.
I am not sure about that one, because Blue Jay seems to be doing pretty good.
@@arhammuharram1881 when i said independently i mean outside of ramsay, sous chef christina is the most successful, she's ramsays American director of culinary.
she and her ex have several restaurants. He manages them, she is a cook. So it worked out,
correction, he is the head cook and manages, she is bartender.
Tommy is the kind of person you know isnt ready for head chef but you still root for in hopes that he's able to learn a lot from the experience and be successful in life outside of the show.
Tommy from Season 9, wasn't lucky. There is one big thing Chef Ramsay saw in him that was evident than most of the chefs that were eliminated before him: creativity. He was very unorthodox, but his dishes had real flare. And he had moments during service where you could see him being an assertive leader, which is what Ramsay also saw.
Unfortunately for Tommy, he couldn’t correct his flaw of not talking and going quiet at the worst possible times.
Still I’m happy he earned Chef Ramseys respect
@@ryhi5 Exactly. Chef Ramsay was hoping that Tommy would find his voice, because there were points that he had the potential. As you said, he just couldn't correct it.
That moment where Tommy dared Ramsay to follow up with his threat more than likely gained more respect from chef than lost. Those were some iron-clad balls he had to say that to his face.
I love this line 😂
Elise: Get used to this face!
Michelle: Your crying face?
Burnnnn 😂😂😂😂
@@ElectroLyghtnyn20 Hell yeah
I think a cool idea for a future video would be the most heartfelt eliminations. This doesn’t mean sad eliminations like Jessica or Chris but rather eliminations where Ramsay greatly praised the chef and they left on a high note.(A few examples could be Milly or Motto)
Sterling definetly
Steve from season 20 comes to mind for me
Yessss I love Milly
Jon from Season 11. Tennille from Season 6.
Rochelle too! She was a delight every second she was on screen, even during her elimination
Elise is definitely the one you remember the most. How she wasn't socked unconscious by the other contestants one night will remain a mystery for years to come.
I gotta say, me and my girlfriend just watched Season 9 for the first time last month. Every episode, we were begging that Tommy would stick around and make it to the black jackets. We were so excited when he made it as far as he did. That blue team core of Tommy, Will and Paul kept me going so hard that season.
Video suggestion: Chefs who were most hated by their teams. Chefs like Dan, barbie, etc.
Trev too. In both seasons.
Barbie was hated for the wrong reasons, she was definitely better theb the chefs who bullied her
Barbie all though average in the kitchen was scape goated by her entire team the entire season it was gross to watch came across as border line racist at times it was bizarre.
@@rorythompson5410 She was pretty phenomenal on the meat station.
that would be nice!
Tommy is the wild card of season 9 you never know if he'll suck or he'll dominate
Tommy's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. 😂
Just watched "Forrest Gump" last night!😂😂
The funniest, most infuriating thing about Elise constantly staying in her first season, was in that very same season, Ramsay kicked Chino out for being put up for elimination 3 times "3 strikes and you're out"
Yet Elise went up at least 5 times, but the same didn't apply to her. So blatantly obvious that the producers were whispering in his ear to keep her as long as possible
"Chino took his time in hell's kitchen very seriously, the problem is he seriously couldn't cook"
It’s because chino can’t cook and made mistake after mistake after mistake, most of Elise nominations were due to the red team not liking her
Say what you want about Elise, she can cook pretty well but her loud mouth buried her talent. Most of the time she got nominated for Red Team because of her attitude. Same with Sabrina in Season 8, ironically, she alongside with Jillian and Gail are the saving Grace of the Red Team and even winner Nona is totally inconsistent. Let's not forget how they nominated her for not doing the prep list and yeah, that's the only time I agree with Sabrina for being pissed because the reason is so dumb.
@@lerx_mex7601 Chino was crap he was lucky to even get as far as he did because of Brendan lying
Robyn making the black jackets two times is beyond my comprehension.
I love Robyn but she definitely didn’t deserve that the second time around
@@Miniduck9013 Jennifer, all day!!
@@Miniduck9013 Neither did the first... maybe yes over Brian and Tiffany but not over Kimmie
Elise literally had the worst service in HK history and still didn’t go home 💀
I would definitely say Sabrina from S8, she was argumentative, literally appointed for elimination every round, and couldn’t follow directions. The fact she got a Black Jacket was frustrating
I agree. I see her the precursor to Elise and Robyn.
to be fair half the other cooks couldnt cook for shite that season so it makes sense she overstayed for so long lmfao
A chef that survived way too long was Susan from Season 11. The only reason she made it as far as she did was because of the Blue Team being awful, but she was a clear weak link all season.
This is quite an underrated take, but I agree. Re watching the season, she wasn't as bad as I remember, but definitely not black jacket material.
Also, she mostly a trainwreck in Meat Station especially on lamb. And remember the time when the Black Jackets have to compete with the winners and then she said: "Yeah, we're gonna beat these guys!" With a giant *Towel* in her head? Annnddd they lost anyway. What an airhead.
She didn’t deserve black jackets in the first place; she was one by default due to being carried by her team.
Mary overstayed her welcome and Im so glad she lost. She was annoying- I like Elise better
@@myu5519 While we can all agree that Susan wasn’t black jacket material, she still made it further than those who had more experience than her and did worse than her that season. Not to mention she was a rookie out of culinary school. Other than Mary, Ja’nel and Cyndi on the red team, I didn’t see anyone else worthy of a black jacket and Susan getting one was kinda a big accomplishment too.
I don’t understand how someone like Elise was allowed to keep her jacket not once but twice.
I do believe Robyn over stayed her welcome, but i always loved her passion. So while I thought some other chefs deserved to stay over her, for TV reasoning I liked her staying over someone like Elise who makes good TV by being a villian.
She outstayed her welcome twice, like Elise
I'm currently watching season 15 and I have no idea how Jackie made it as far as she did.
The needed villian, although rhe season you're watching has many! Enjoy!😂😂
The fact she made it over Hassan and Chad are crazy enough. I guess those two guys got drained by The Red Team Season 15's toxicity that made them got slipping. Meamwhile, Manda who got transferred to Blue Team always stand up to herself whenever Frank bullying her because of his sexism attitude and she made it far than him. I'm not a big fan of Manda because she sounds annoying like she's mumbling all the time but good for her to be brave and more spoken. Also, she left the competition gracefully.
Jackie had massive maturity issues but her potential was obvious, since she had only been cooking professionally for a few months when she got on the show. She mostly benefitted from the blue team not being able to get out of its own way.
@@n25bastAgree
Loved this video and man. I felt your rage when talking about Robyn surviving over Van. I could hear the anger we all possessed at that moment. Truly great work once again
“ With Gabriel causing such a disaster in the kitchen tonight, it was hard to tell who else I should send home so I gave everyone a thrill of getting a black jacket but someone will definitely be going home after the next dinner service.”
“Making it to the black jackets was a dream come true for Robyn, but cooking against the runner-up was a reality check for her and for me.”
“ I’ve always admired Robyn’s no nonsense attitude, but tonight, she had the wrong attitude and served up a lot of nonsense.”
Robyn has balls of steel to say that to Ramsay
I respect her for that, the blue team didn't make any huge mistakes that service, and got kicked out due to Robyn's mistake, where S10, is the season of the kickouts
Louross getting eliminated before Matt is a crime!!!
Matt was from the winning team
On the service though Louross did deserve to go he had a table order of steak come back and the table walked out on him as well
Matt sucked but Louross was equally weak
@@nachoalvarez7171Not to mention, Ramsay didn’t start eliminating chefs off the winning team until the next season with Carol in Season 5, so yeah between Louross and Jen, I do think Petrozza made the right choice by choosing Louross to go home at the final 7.
Josh from season 3 crawling into black jackets was wild too
To be honest I like the black jacket lounge challenges. While doing well in service is important, being chef Ramsey head chef you have to be able to cook basic dishes and be able to be creative. You never know what’s going to happen in a professional kitchen, someone can go home sick or not show up, a vender can deliver more of a item then needed and you need to jump on the line or make a dish using said item.
Definetly deserved a part 2 for this video:
-Sabrina Season 8: She's always making the same excuse "I'm YoUnG, I'M StilL 22, Chef!" And point fingers to everybody whenever she's getting nominated and even likes to insult her teammates. How the hell she made it to Black Jacket?
-Fran Season 7: Even though Autumn has a lot of nominations tied with Virginia, Clemenza, Elise ,Scott and Sabrina with 7 nominations , Fran is way worse than her as Autumn is lucky to be carried by the Blue Team most of the time. Also, Fran is a total Karen and she alongside with Siobhan and Scott are The 3 Stooges of The Red Team Season 7 as they mostly are the main culprits of why The Red Team always lost since Siobhan is insecure and Scott is full of himself. It's always Holli, Nilka and Benjamin who carried the team.
-Marc and Jordan Season 19: Marc mostly being a loud mouth and even stayed over Adam and Jordan just lucky to be there as she has up and down of dinner services. Oh yeah, let's not forget how she swift the blame to Nikki even though she screwed up the dinner service for sending wrong meat and made the Red Team got kicked out! I would consider Amber but she's not a bad chef, she only just likes to panic and complains a lot but she at least a better chef than those two.
-Zacky Wacky from Season 11: Have a strong start by saving opening night only to become wackier in furture episode and also one of the main culprits why the Blue Team always lost.
-Andy Season 6: He mostly just there for being a liability and yes, let's not forget how he suggested to nominate Robert who got hospitalized at the time for a bad service but thankfully, Van immediately switched to him. Also, he complained about his broken thumb and can't do anything right while Dave survived with one broken arm for weeks. Also, he got caught for not doing anything in one dinner service and Gordon kicked him out.
-Josie Season 20: The cast of this season isn't bad but Josie is having the same storyline every time,
1. Being a vegan
2. Simping to Emily
3. Repeat
While Emily is a good cook herself and has bubbly personality, she at least can concentrate at competition and cook good meat despite being vegan, Josie is totally inconsistent.
-Trev Season 18: Season 8 Trev isn't bad but Season 18 Trev is a trainwreck. He's the second worst veteran along with Jen but Jen only has short rounds as she got kicked out mid service. Trev mostly caused the Red Team losing on challenges and he only enjoyed one reward.
-Jackie Season 15: This girl is a loud mouth and has no filter. Also, she dumped an ashtray to Kristin and always threaten to hurt somebody.
Sabrina was actually one of the better chefs that season though season 8 wasn't known for strong chefs.
Yeah Andy using Robert's health against him is one of the most messed up ways I have ever seen anyone try to weasel their way out of elimination. Thank God Van had some sense to call out how insanely fucked up that was. Also, Fran was very lucky that she was on one of the worst teams of all time as while she was bad, she was usually put up against chefs that sucked more than she did like Jamie, Maria, and Scott. If she was on the S7 Blue team, she would be one of the 1st ones going home on that team.
Disagree, Marc and jordon were way better than amber in cooking wise
Now I can agree about Trev. While he wasn't too bad in Season 8, however, when he did return for Season 18, he gotten worse. It kind of makes you wonder how in the hell did he get worse in the amount of time that lapsed between Season 8 and Season 18.
@@lerx_mex7601 Looking back at Season 19, Jordan mostly get babysits by Kori or Nikki on service while Marc and Amber can carry of their own even when they make several mistakes.
I do kinda respect Robyn for asking Ramsay to not kick the rest of the team out over her mistake.
Robyn getting a black over Jennifer is a CRIME and still makes me mad. Jennifer deserved a blacket jacket 100%
Tommy is one of my absolute favourite HK contestants mainly cause of his personality. He was a very weak chef at times, though especially his communication skills.
I agree! To quote, "I like chicken wings, domestic beer, and motorcycle rides" says it all! Plus Tommy reminded me of Howard Wolowitz of Big Bang Theory...if he was a rocking biker!😂😂
“His girlfriend is only 19 that’s the joke” I still can’t believe how cool everyone was with this
And he had previously said she was 18, while he's 31 and talking about marriage. Even if people keep saying "she's legal, they're both adults" it has never sat right with me in this instance.
Im happy Robyn stayed because her redemption (from dislikable in 8 to likeable) was one of the best parts of that scuffed all stars season. Not to mention her strong challenge performances after surviving cook for your life probably bought her some timr
I think Scott in season 12 was also helped through some eliminations by his challenge performance
I will forever find it baffling that Virginia made it to the final two over Keith
true but Keith remark that he thinks Ramsey picked her because he had a "h*** **" for Virginia doesn't exactly paint Keith in a good light either. I get being bitter but people seem to give Keith a pass for that remark but villainize Russell for being a sore loser.
@@redlox2 That's because Russell was a complete bully his entire season, threatening to beat people up! Also what's worse, getting Ramsay husband opinion in the loss, or again Russell threatening his entire team for his loss. The dude threatened to "blackballed" his entire team after the show!
I think the reason why certain chefs like Elise and Robyn stay is because they do have loud mouths not only is it good to but do you think Gordon isn’t going to like someone who is assertive. Most chefs who get eliminated from the show despite being good chefs are the ones who don’t have a voice or crumble with no fight back.
I came up with a term for a contestant that overstayed their welcome and should have been eliminated from a Gordon Ramsey show.
It's called "The Cutter Dodge", named after the guy from Season 5 of Masterchef who should have been eliminated in the first go, got incredibly unlikable with each episode he stayed, and somehow made it to 4th.
I kind of had a hunch this would be the video for this week. If you ever do a two parter, some choices could be…
Josh S3
Matt S4
Fran S7
Like half of the black jackets of S8
Zach S11
Jackie Frank and Manda S15
I was specifically looking for Josh and Matt in this video. How in the bloody hell did Josh ever make it to black jackets despite having zero shining moments in the show??
Andy S6
Frank wasn’t even that bad of a cook in season 15
@@lerx_mex7601 He was an awful leader and awful person, though. =\
Why Manda?
When you come into Hell's Kitchen as a Head Chef of another restaurant, you expect a lot more than what we got from PAULIE
I know Virginia didn't do well in S2, but she was so much better when she came back for the runner-up service in S10 that it was obvious she had grown quite a bit. She obviously kept surviving because of the weaknesses of her competitors.
yeah I don't know why Flynn has such a hate-boner for her and he's dead wrong when he says everyone considers her the worst finalist, not worse then Russell that's for damn sure.
It's called learning from your mistakes in the past and I heard Virginia herself is quite succesful after Hell's Kitchen.
@@jadedheartsz yeah and i think Flynn ignores the fact that she got sexual remarks aimed at her during the show. Keith outright accuses Ramsey of having a "ha** **" for Virginia (making even Heather shocked) which Flynn ironically uses the clip but instead uses it as a reason why Virginia did not deserve her runner up status.
@@redlox2 yeah Flynn comes off as kinda sexist for doing that.
@@redlox2 I actually thinking maybe back in Season 2, Ramsay secretly simping to Virginia because yeah, Virginia herself is kinda hot hence why he saved her many times even though she should be eliminated a long time ago. Don't forget how she's always making the Red Team losing because of her insecurity and also how Sara likes to bully her many times. Oh yeah, let's not forget she chose her final brigade team just because they were the weakest chefs even she admits herself even though one of them were Keith, who was one of the strongest chefs in the season along with Heather and she picked Tom who is the big donkey and Giacomo who is a decent rookie but still makes mistakes. My God, how pathetic she is.
The first chef that came to my mind on who overstayed their welcome was season 7 Fran. How she made to 8th while being nominated almost every episode she was on, I will never know.
I feel like around the beginning Gordon has a good idea of who he’s going to keep and who he is not. and when people who show potential fail he takes the opportunity to eliminate them, already knowing he doesn’t want them as his head chef; and keeps sucky chefs in as easy eliminations later on when it becomes harder to pick what chef he wants as his headchef
I mean Virginia excelled during the competition.She was way better Keith and Sarah . She's the bounce back queen.
I was so happy tommy made it as far as he did. He was gorgeous!😍 I loved watching him cook!
I'm a simple woman. I sees a Flynn Masters video, I clicks it
I feel like had Koop not thrown those chairs he would’ve not been eliminated the night he was
Definitely. Both could have gone home, but he definitely had to because no network can responsibly say it’s ok for participants to destroy property. I guess even Ramsay saw that and eliminated him after claiming in earlier seasons that he didn’t care what happened in the dorms.
@@ln5425 Koop deserved to stay over Paulie
paulie is a tattle tail
Elise was basically the real life Heather from "Total Drama Island" except she had no redemption arc.
Robyn making it to two black jacket spots is crazy, especially in All Stars when Jennifer should have had that fifth jacket. I reckon Trev (S8), Susan (S11), Santos (S13) and Jared and Manda (S15) only got black jackets because of the lack of quality in their respective seasons
Trev had 2 great services before black jackets so he pretty much earned his spot
I will say Manda also had a few good services compared to others while I will Agree she was eliminated at the right time in Season 15 she wasn’t talentless
Susan(season 11) had a couple of good moments here and there and with the blue team obviously falling like dominoes and with some of the red team members not being that worthy for a black jacket(minus Mary, Cyndi and Ja’nel). Well you could argue that Anthony did deserve another chance, we can’t forget that he was on a major downward spiral in the last couple of challenges before his final dinner service. He scored 0-4 on the bland taste challenge and the blue team lost that challenge because of him. Now I will agree that Zach should of been eliminated that episode but I guess Jon saw Anthony as a bigger threat than Zach. Now did Anthony deserve a black jacket over Susan or Cyndi? Yes because he was a better chef than both of them but at the same time not really. With his last couple of performances, his performances could of been much worse. I mean either way he wasn’t gonna win especially Zach, Susan or Cyndi.
Tommy would never answer anybody. He was in his own world and in a large kitchen you need to talk to your fellow chefs to get the orders out together.
i'm shocked trev & sabrina from season 8 aren't on this video
How dare you diss Elise, BOOP!
Also side note, it's so weird seeing episodes with Christina in them pre winning.
There's a couple chef I really like in Hell's Kitchen.
Petrozza is one of them. He was humble and all and even if he got down a couple time and said he was done, he fought back. There's one time he nominated himself and that is something I have very much respect for him. RIP Petrozza
Yeah he was awesome. I honestly liked Ralph. I was rooting for him the first time I watched season 1. He's one of maybe 2 chefs that A. pretty much never fucked up in service and B. didn't ever get flustered no matter how crazy things got.
@@stephsaguudefan1753 Because Ralph already a chef before even joined Hell's Kitchen and after Hell's Kitchen, he becomes a succesful restauranter even one of his Sous Chef, Royce was a contestant in Season 10. Honestly, it's obvious Michael and Ralph would be in final 2 since they both are the only chefs of Season One. But, Michael mostly play dirty by playing mind games while Ralph mostly playing by-the-book
Petrozza was my first favorite and then Christina. The final 2. RIP Petrozza
We need a part 2 that includes Matt (Season 4), Sabrina (Season 8), Ben (Season 5), and Josh (Season 3)
I'm convinced the producers of the show are the ones that kept those people on just for drama.
Also I'm convinced Chef Ramsay has an earpiece when he's about to eliminate someone or not
i wouldn't be surprised cause most best example is Virginia from season 2 like wth
I totally agree with these picks ngl, esp Robyn lol TWO SEASONS
Love the work as usual Flynn 😁 You could do a video on whether it's a good move to swap sides or not. 😊
I know All-Stars has a bunch of bs eliminations, but I love how they completely dunked on Elise in that season. They must have realized she got away too scott-free, and fans couldn't have that. The last episode for me is the most satisfying and euphoric moment in the show for its last scenes of her wallowing in her own misery.
Plus, we got more of Nick than Elise overall. That's a net positive I'll gladly take
Elizabeth should've got the black jacket that Elise did, hands down. First time up and going home over a repeat nominee? What was Chef thinking? That's one of the hardest eliminations for me.
I'll work under an abusive head chef over a colleague who'll make a thousand facial expressions a day everytime if I was given a choice, seriously I really cant stand those kind of people.
because frankly speaking at some point when they're doing it so often it makes you wonder if it's really just an act for the cameras or is it the real personality coming out.
Can't really say Elise dodged bullets... Despite her attitude, she's a really strong cook. Otherwise Paul won't win season 9
To be fair about Van in the All Star season, he DID lose his voice in service and Ramsey pointed him out to hear from him. And I guess Van wasn't interested anymore. Like he said in his elimination quote that he's not the weakest chef on the blue team no doubt. He just wants to make people happy with food.
It was only 1 moment of not communicating he quickly bounced back
I still believe something happened in Vegas. Van was quiet when they returned.
But Robyn was weaker than him up until that point
@@AlessandroChiarelli In that service, though, she straight-up did nothing wrong in that particular service. She was only thrown in the bottom because of the classic "nominate who the team views as the overall weak link". Yet it was clear she was thrown in the bottom to shield Van, and Ramsay saw through that.
@@heymistercarter. Yes actually. Still Elise and Barbie had to go over Van
Gotta love it when bad chefs are kept for content, even though a lot of people hate watching those seasons.
Koop should have definitely stayed over Paulie. The S16 blue team was really messed up in general though that season in terms of personality and skills!
Paulie was lucky that the season 16 was such a disaster,
Alternate title: THESE CHEFS WERE THE BEST FOR TV
i think trev outstayed his welcome, especially in season 18, sure, he struggled lots in season 8, but there was worse chefs than him on his team (raj, boris, etc), he didn’t necessarily get off to a strong start in season 18 but he did perform arguably worse than he did the last time he was in HK, he blamed his mistakes on his teammates at the final 8, and deservingly got eliminated at the final 7, while i don’t think he deserved to get literally bullied by his teammates, he didn’t deserve a black jacket, it was his time to go.
How did he blame his team? If anything they kept blaming him for mistakes he didn’t do
@@lerx_mex7601 like when.
@@rikusalenius4265 Jose blames Trev for sinking on the fish station episode 9 when he made more mistakes than Trev did and at least Trev bounced back. Next episode they blame him for scallops when Brett literally admit he cooked them, they mostly blamed Trevor for the raw veals when motto also cooked them (pretty sure it was definitely motto who cooked the raw ones as he cooked 7 and Trev cooked 5 and only 7 were brought back) motto in the next episode refused to communicate with Trevor and even admit to sabotaging him.
@@lerx_mex7601 i get where you are coming from, but the way i see it, yes jose made more mistakes than trev in episode 9, but trev still underperformed, in episode 10, it was both brett and trev cooking scallops, and the way episode potrayed it was trev who screwed the scallops and blamed brett while it was either trev alone or both him and motto who screwed up the veal, but he didnt want to own up to anything like jose said, and in the next episode motto and brett could have communicated better with trev at the start, but they just didnt want to deal with his inconsistency anymore, like he still screwed up the meat station and then blamed brett for it, so no it was trev who downplayed his mistakes or just blamed them on other people, one of the reasons why he wasnt very respected.
In fairness, a lot of the mid boots in season 18 weren't all that good, except for Gizzy who had confidence issues and was eliminated far too early so that Chef Ramsay could keep Scotley around and the talent of that season was very top-heavy. Trev also benefitted from Kevin giving up and T's collapse on meat more than anyone. He got spared over Scotley because he showed next to no passion by the end of his run, which was evident to Ramsay when Trev put him on blast for making snacks during a punishment. Jose also shit the bed in his final service, which made him the obvious boot for the final 8.
It made me Happy for Jennifer to get her Revenge on Elise in the HK All-Stars.
Gordon Ramsay referring to Tommy as "Rock and Roll Bozo" was one of my favorite insults.
I’ve been waiting for this video ever since you did the most satisfying eliminations
You could say that Elise's All Star run was also very fluky, as she was put up for nomination another 5 times in All Stars, including 3 straight nominations before she was finally eliminated at the black jacket lounge challenge. And there are some real headscratchers in there, like Ben being sent home from the winning team while Elise was on the chopping block. Even the contestant couldn't believe that Ben was sent home, as he didn't have a great service but he didn't have a bad enough service to be sent home first. And then she survives over Dana in the final 8, where Dana had 1 bad service all season and hadn't been nominated up to that point. God All Stars has to be the most rigged HK season in all the worst ways.
Ben's health is what got him eliminated on opening night
@@eltoro_ttvThis right here.
Just like Total Drama All Stars.
@@eltoro_ttv I mean can we confirm that? Usually when they are potential health concerns, the person just leaves without elimination. I mean, look at Robert in S5 as a prime example.
@@nevenpatrk9661 "Ben, get up here. I haven't taken my eye off you since you came back to Hell's Kitchen. I don't think you can go the distance."
He saw Ben almost collapse on opening night
Because Elise was actually talented, though inconsistent. I love Elise however, not for her personality (I know she is awful lol) but for her entertainment value in the show. She is hilarious to me. But when Elise does good, she really does good. When she is bad she falls apart lol.
Sabrina was definitely the top contender for this list, how she made it to the black jackets is just beyond me 🤯
At least she had 4 good services and 2 decent.
I still think a dangerous mistake like raw chicken should instantly send you home. If the food you're confidently sending out has the chance of killing someone, you're not ready to be a head chef full stop.
hey man! Love this hells kitchen content. Throwing an idea out there. Maybe you could do a video where you rank all the finalist duos, so like all the finals in hells kitchen, based on how they were at the pass, the talent the two finalists showed during the season etc...
Actually, I thought of an interesting topic for the channel, which was the most lopsided dinner services in Hell’s Kitchen history.
My number one, personally, is Season 6 Episode 5, where the blue team finished entrees, before the women even finished their first TICKET.
Season 5 episode 8 was similar
To be fair, you have a 3-hour dinner service edited to about 20 minutes. Maybe some of these people are spectacular when they're not making mistakes, just something to consider
Elise staying longer than Giovani and Van in All Stars was a crime in itself
I raged quit season 17 when Dana was eliminated before Elise.
I am still annoyed about it.
Quit when Van was booted.
Elise added what every memorable 'reality' TV season/series needs... a villain it was fun to root against.
She stuck around because she rewarded the producers and editors with an overabundance of useable clips.
Elise wasn't even fun to root against. She was just insufferable and really should have been let go early.
You know what would be fun? A list of good friendships in hell's kitchen. Don't even know if it would get 10
Elise could cook and boss people around is why she stayed. Gordon likes leadership over timid people. But she choked bad and should of been bounced earlier for sure.
Happy Sunday, FM, thanx for the upload!
Come for the laughs 😄, stay for the food🥩🍗
I feel like he forgot to point out that when the blue team lost their first service with Robyn on it in season 17 she went up on the chopping block that night
AND rather than admit to the fact that she had mistakes she immediately asked to go back to her previous team 😮😮 I honestly think Robyn got lucky that Jared (who originally offered to push her and elevate her when she had made the switch) had a terrible service that round
Also, Jared lying about himself getting cut
@@margarethmichelina5146 that is very true I forgot about that
maybe for a video
"Runner ups who were possibly sabotaged by their own team and didn't win"
i think Russell and Virginia had cases where their teams were actively against them
You should make a “narrator’s best moments” or “most savage moments” cause that guy goes hard sometimes
Fran from Season 7 should've gotten the boot much sooner than she did. Same with Jackie from Season 15, her far from mature attitude was beyond exhausting.
Jackie was a big cause of the season 15 red team 's problems. The difference in morale and performance once she was gone and it was just Kristen, Ariel and Ashley was apparent
@@ChristineTheHippie It certainly showed out loud once Jackie was gone.
Robyn got to final 6 in Season 10 because the producers wanted drama.
But in season 17, it almost feels as if although the producers still want her to stay for drama, she wanted to use that time to actually improve and work her way up there. She turned her bitchiness into enthusiasm, and was resilient as heck.
Did she deserve the 2nd black jacket? No, but she definitely earned it.
I think she had one of the biggest improvements personality wise
@@JoppingBen10Fan Robyn was genuinely enjoyable to watch in season 17. Imperfect, but owns up to her mistakes and lives up to her nickname: Bounce-back queen.
Her cooking skills in s17 was way worse than her original season, the producers and Ramsey made these random challenges to save her 🤦♂️
@@lerx_mex7601 You’d make a wonderful scriptwriter.
@@user-lc7mi1zh2mhe’s not wrong tho?
If that was one of later seasons, Virginia would be thrown out front door for that"I don't know, Chef" answer to Gordon's question
Ya rewatched S17 as the official HK reuploaded.
The hate towards S17 Robyn is uncalled for.
The night where Van got eliminated, Robyn didn't even do anything wrong, why SHOULD she go home?
Matt for me was a shocking black jacket. Its like people who continue to mess up get chance after chance but then when talented chefs mess up once they get eliminated. I'm happy to defer to Ramsey in terms of seeing potential for chefs but chefs like Matt and Elise made no sense to me and often made me wonder if it wasn't ratings driven.
I really didn’t like how much you dissed Robyn, cause yes even tho she made a ton of mistakes, she took down villains. And she did well in challenges (except the sig dish in all-stars) and became an underdog. I think she deserved her spots. And I do think it was bs for Gio and Jennifer and Brian, but I think Robyn was still good
@TheDarkerKnight the chefs that got eliminated before Robyn in season 10, and most of them in all-stars
Elise was kept around for the drama. Both times.
Make a part two. Josh of season 3 should be on this list. I mean he's known as the spaghetti monster.
If I was on this show and someone like Elise was kept over someone like Kanae, I would go OFF on Ramsay. And then subsequently get myself sent home. 😂
