I still love Hassan's line of "I'M NOT YELLING, THIS IS HOW I TALK", comes off unexpected and funny
Agreed. He got eliminated too soon.
It's not Hassan's line technically he's quoting Dave Chappelle from his Samuel Jackson Beer skit.
It’s not funny at all
@@sorrenblitz805 Yeah that's what I was thinking immediately.
@@sorrenblitz805I was just here to see if anyone caught the Dave Chappelle reference 🤣 🙌🏽
Watching Melissa throughout Season 3 felt like watching a friend slip into alcoholism. She started super strong but by the end she looked like so disheveled and apathetic it seemed like she just didn't care.
It just looked like she didnt wash her hair since she got there lol
Also, there's a speculation that she was consuming drugs at the time due to her not caring of her hair. This is why in further seasons, you never see any female chefs let their hair down again just like her unless they have a short hair. Sometimes Gail in Season 8, couple times bu her hair is still nice, Suzanne from Season 6 and Michelle Season 14 let their hair down after losing opening night service.
@@margarethmichelina5146 Those drugs were probably booze and cigarettes to cope with the stress of the show. I read an article that on season 2, the competition began with only four chefs who were smokers and by the end of the season, that number was in the double digits. All those sleepless nights, being away from friends and family, having the cameras being on you plus the crazy filming schedule probably just destroyed her mental. Iirc on the finale she was totally fine and looked healthy again.
I feels like confident saying she was a textbook page of psychotic break. Her world was several degrees removed from earth.
i can fix her.
Just about the worst thing you can do on Ramsay's payroll is treat one of his female sous chefs like "a little girl" because those women can cook circles around you before you figure out how to turn on your stove. Anton should have been taken to task over that behavior and that confessional word vomit.
He didnt TREAT her like a little girl. He was stating why he believed she got in his face in saying that she felt like she needed to prove something due to her gender. Thats a far cry from TREATING her like what you said. It's really not that hard to understand what was said
@@anonymousperson3023 imagine if one's words and values carried over into how they treat someone... mindblowing. He had no respect for someone objectively more accomplished than him who was his direct superior at work.
@@anonymousperson3023 He called her a "little girl," so it's hardly a far cry to state that he was treating her like one.
He was disrespectful and misogynistic towards his superior in a professional environment, and the fact that he thought the only reason she would crack down on him was feelings of inferiority due to her gender proves that.
@@anonymousperson3023 sexist spotted
@@anonymousperson3023I like how you see the clearest case of misogyny ever and act like we're triggered for noticing
I still feel Hansen was done dirty he worked hard and some chefs that were worse then him got further ahead than they should've., and Zach he should've been eliminated when he sabotaged Ray he even admitted that he did on camera and they still let him overstay his welcome
Ray had been consistently worse than Zack and Ray not only did worse that service but dodged multiple nominations because Dan was the team's scapegoat.
I didn't know Chris Hansen was in Hell's Kitchen
@@astro.girl720 he was there for Andrew, but he walked out too soon.
@@Besitzerstolz
Huh??
Ray was bad at cooking since the beginning atleast Zach had some good services. Also I’m pretty sure Zach sabotaged Ray because Ray told him to F off
You forgot Raj! He started out as the best chef in the whole competition with 30 years of experience! The only reason he was eliminated was because everyone including Gordon was jealous! Gordon was afraid of Raj taking over Hells Kitchen himself and got him out before that could happen
And the damn cobras was attacking the mongoose before that happened and he was STILL too powerful and Gordon witnessed the cobras failing to take him out, so Gordon got him out as fast as he could!
He was the biggest threat in Hell’s Kitchen history. Making sides so fast that it started to pile up, a master of making pizza and sushi. He was way too intelligent for the average person to understand. His seafood and vegetable pancake would have crushed the entire competition
Not as bad as Gail(Season 8)
@Kuruma2001 Antonia would've crushed him tho. Her Mardi Gras gumbo was deliberately bad to throw off the competition. Her illness was a setup so she wouldn't destroy the competition
He was being falsely accused
Anton’s downfall was actually surprising despite the fact he was doing so well. If only his arrogance didn’t get to him he would’ve probably became a black jacket, yet talking back to the Sous Chef was basically the nail in the coffin for him in my opinion.
Also, he keeps bullying Scott for no reason. However, Scott never giving up and win the season.
@@margarethmichelina5146 I don’t think it was coincidence those two were nominated against each other in that episode.
@chuggs wow! This show has really put out a lot of actors/actresses over the years! smh
I get he was arrogant but I was really rooting for him, and his voice is somehow comforting to me lol
@chuggs that’s absurd. These people aren’t professional actors and there’s no way producers know enough about them to pick a winner instrument of performance pre-season. Bet you think the earth is flat too? 🙄
One more honorable mention to include: Gizzy from Rookies Vs. Veterans. She started the competition EXTREMELY strong, getting a 5/5 on her signature dish and dominating several challenges. She did solidly on her first few services too. Not to mention, she seemed to have a rivalry storyline with Scotley, who took over a job she used to work for. Then as the competition went on, she lost her confidence in herself, notably being unsure about meat she cooked and volunteering to sit out of a challenge. It all led to her getting sniped out in the ridiculous Cook For Your Life challenge, where she got eliminated for leaving the scales on her bass dish (which, I’m not sure how that would happen anyway), something she claimed she was finally confident in. And then there’s her rival Scotley, who straight-up broke the rules of the challenge and used red lentils from the pantry as his main side instead of the tons of fresh ingredients on the farmer’s market tables like he was supposed to (Ramsay even called him out on it). But her downfall was pretty sad to see, since it seemed like she was an early contender to do pretty well.
i dont think he broke the rules, just completely missed the spirit of the challenge, which is a big consideration for his elimination
@@vannavee3 Ramsay emphasized that the point for those participating in the challenge was to use fresh ingredients, specifically the ones shown on the Farmer's Market tables he set out. Scotley was the only one whose main side (the lentils) wasn't from the tables, but from the back pantry. So in a way, he did break the rules. And I'd argue he should've been disqualified for that, especially since this was the Cook For Your Life challenge. Way I see it, if you break or go past the guidelines set on an ELIMINATION CHALLENGE, you're disqualified, no matter how good the dish is. But I guess they thought that Scotley made better TV, especially since he had a new rivalry now with Trev (who was conveniently safe from this challenge, because the three who left each kitchen on the earlier relay challenge were automatically in the bottom, and he was one of the last ones standing).
“I had such high hopes for Gizzy from day one, but if she doesn’t truly believe in herself than I can’t believe in her either."
I agree with GizGiz, I expected her and Kanae to switch spots.
@@vannavee3 Rules are rules, it's similar to Frank in 15, if he hadn't steamed the burger, he would've had the point, didn't follow the rules, thus no point
I will still always believe the Joy was the biggest downfall in the show's history. I was certain she was going to win and then suddenly, I mean REALLY suddenly, it was over. Even Jason asked, "Did that just happen?" I'm assuming you didn't include that one because it only happened over the course of one episode.
Joy’s case was not a downfall, it was a snap.
“Joy’s quitting was one of the most shocking things I’ve ever experienced in Hell’s Kitchen. But her lack maturity tonight proved that she’s not ready to be a head chef, because leaders never quit.”
joy was a crash and burn
Also, Joy is totally childish. It there's one mistake, she will go to a 5 year old tantrum and she's also like to throw Rochelle and Scott under the bus.
Idk why Joy’s meltdown surprised so many people. Did you see her throughout the season? Every single time she made a mistake, she threw a hissy fit and cried about it in the confessional. She might’ve been a damn good chef but she was mentally weak and never had a chance of winning that season
I like how you track how Melissa is doing in Hell's Kitchen by her hair. She looks like a different person.
She did. Melissa's unkempt appearance in the kitchen, especially her hair made me question the legitimacy of the show. No kitchen on Earth would never allow hair wild hair loose like that. Especially when many men with beards aren't allowed to have men in some kitchens. I thought she was a plant to antagonize the Red Team in particular Julia. All because Julia worked at Waffle House.
I always wondered why the hell Chef Ramsay never appointed about her messy hair especially when she had to present the food to a wedding couple. If I got married in Hell's Kitchen and had to see the chefs before my wedding reception and see one of the chef had a hair like that, I wouldn't trust her to be the chef at the night.
i liked her hair a lot i like the messy look i wish my opinion of her cooking got better like my opinion of her hair
I will never not be bitter at Hassan being eliminated. That guy was Black Jacket material.
I hope that if he's brought back for an All Stars 2, he still maintains that same energy.
He and Chad could be in Black Jacket instead of Manda or Kristin or even Ariel but I admit Ariel's commitment to survive with one injured ankle in the mid competition, she's kinda like Dave but instead in a hand, it's in a feet. I guess the Red Team on that season is too toxic, it made those 2 men who have much better potentials lost their confidence when they got switched.
Same! Eliminated on his first and and only time up when worse chefs kept getting chances. Maybe he didn't deserve to win. Maybe he didn't deserve a black jacket, but he did NOT deserve to go home that early.
@@margarethmichelina5146Chad was downward spiraling tho and he never recovered
@@darcyroberts8873 He got screwed over his final episode, Ariel didn't take the blame (Just like every other villain of the season), I understand Gordon's reasoning behind it, but it just didn't sit right with me
Another honorable mention is Rachel from Season 2. She started off as one of the best female chefs on that season, and had some good storylines going for her (her friendship with Heather, her rivalry with Sara). Then when Heather got moved to the Blue Team, it’s like she became a different chef, making tons of mistakes in the next two services until her early elimination. And it’s extremely sad to watch in hindsight, given what ended up happening to her shortly after her season. She looked like this was devastating for her too, even saying this was the first goal she set for herself that she didn’t accomplish. Which, if you ever do a Saddest Eliminations list, Rachel belongs right on there along with Ji, Robert, and Jessica. May she Rest In Peace.
“Rachel clearly couldn't handle it. She buckled, panicked, and actually screwed the kitchen completely. You've got no chance of running a successful business, if you can't handle one section."
I don't recall her being that good, but she did have a lot of heart and passion.
Let's not forget the time she carried a bag of ice alone from supermarket and fall in the middle. A true fighter.
@@margarethmichelina5146 I felt really bad for her. I think that may have been what broke her.
@@dmaster92289 Ramsay noted at the start of the fourth episode that Rachel was one of the strongest players on the Red Team (along with Heather and Sara), before switching Heather to the Blue Team. He even asked her later in that episode (the first one where she really started struggling) if Heather leaving was why she wasn't doing as well. The two built a strong camaraderie on the season, and I do wonder if Heather switching teams threw Rachel off her game.
I feel like Hassan deserved better! The red team that Season were pretty toxic.
By " red team", I assume you mean Jackie. She wasn't just toxic, she was a landfill.
Jackie Wacky always ruin shit!
Still can't believe Hassan and Chad got eliminated before Jackie.
@@margarethmichelina5146 Stupid Jackie Wacky
I liked Hassan a lot, and would have liked to see him more in that season. Certainly more than Jackie.
It's amazing how much Zach grated on me the longer the season went on. Everyone loved him in the first...3 episodes I'd say, and with merit he was a strong cook who practically carried the 1st Blue Dinner service, but once he lied to Chef Ramsay about bringing previously cooked fish to the pass, he began a steady downfall in cooking and character. Sabotaging Ray, acting butthurt when he was nominated throughout the season, his STUPID and pointless Grant Banks plotpoint (seriously, he makes Coach Benjamin Wade look humble), and just how much of a loudmouth he was in general.
I wonder how Zach is doing as of right now after his time on the show.
The part where you compared him to Coach was hilarious lmao
His wackiness surely came at a cost
I think zack is an example of doing pretty well, and then getting completely arrogant way too early.
Re-watching season 11 , Zach fell off after he was put up for elimination for the first time. During the elimination, Chef asked the members of blue team to grade Zachs performance that night on a scale of 1-10, and nobody gave him anything above a 3. From that point onward, Zach developed a vendetta against his team. And his cooking completely deteriorated as a result.
That season 11 blue team was by far the worst blue team in HK history. They only won two challenges all season, which I believe is the fewest ever for one team. And their second challenge win didn't come until the final red vs blue team episode. The blue team at that point was just Zach, Jon, and Ja'Nel (who just came over from the red team that episode).
Hassan was really done dirty by that toxic red team. I wish he would get another shot on the show because he really feels like one of the biggest missed opportunities and was really done in by bad luck and bad attitudes more than anything. On most other seasons he’d be an easy black jacket and possible finalist in some. He had that natural leadership needed to win.
I wish Hassan and Chad made it to Black Jacket instead of Ariel and Manda. I guess the toxicity from Ariel and Jackie let them down.
Same with Eddie
@@margarethmichelina5146
This
I hope he comes back in another competition with newbies vs veterans.
Lmao no he didn’t, he did it to himself
I was very surprised not to see Roe from season thirteen on the list, given that she's featured in the opening montage. Now, _there's_ someone who started out strong, but collapsed utterly as the season went along. She recovered somewhat with her F5 challenge win, but still went home that same week.
Honestly i think in relation to Melissa, it was the incident where they were presenting dishes to the wedding couple that really pissed Gordon off and prob played a major factor in him choosing Melissa. She made a huge scene when she could have just asked or told Gordon before the guest's arrival "hey can we drop X dish because its so bad" but to flatout say you dont want to serve food...to your client. Thatd a big nono.
ANTON in Season 12 could've had the potential to win Season 12 but when he got into an argument with Sous Chef Andi over the temperatures of the ovens
He ended up showing his True Colours on that night when he couldn't take criticism from Andi & made sexist remarks about her
Let's not forget he's always blaming Scott for everything and Scott won the season anyway
Whats sexist about his remark? May it be wrong literally? Sure but nothing about that was sexist.
@@anonymousperson3023 He said in confensionnal that Chef Andi is just a little girl just because he's way bigger than Chef Andi.
@@margarethmichelina5146 And that she's yelling at him because of her "Woman problems"
@@anonymousperson3023 You seem awfully focused on the sexism bit, pushing back on it and nothing else in multiple comments. Is there something you'd like to tell us?
New idea. Best comebacks in HK history. Here's my list, in no particular order
Bonnie from Season 3
Bobby from Season 5
Tennille from Season 6
Scott from Season 12
Bryant from Season 13
Nikki from Season 19
I like that idea as well as this list. It's kinda like an idea I had. I'd like to see a episode of chefs with the most nominations who earned Black Jackets. Also just for laughs the Top Fake Injuries in HK History! Also kindest or most honourable acts in HK history, especially considering how cutthroat it is.
Don't forget Mary from Season 11
*Robert. Remember, he didn’t want Ramsay to call him Bobby because of his relationship with his father (who used that name). He even directly asked Chef Ramsay to stop calling him Bobby after Ramsay did it several times.
Also, there is a video about that on this channel.
Steve from season 20
How can we forget about Sterling. He was the funniest and wholesome chef in HK. He did well in the beginning but then one dinner service he was out
That's not really a downfall since it was one service.
He was never an outstanding cook, it was only his smiles
@@horseluver4ever623 yeah you are right
“Sterling went further in this competition than I thought he would. And even though he was always at 100, it wasn’t enough to earn him a black jacket.”
Despite his positive attitude, Sterling is keeping making mistakes many times. So, it's not a downfall.
I’m a recent fan and a video I’d personally like to see is the top 10 chefs who overstayed their welcome/chefs who stayed in Hell’s Kitchen longer than they should’ve
a video essay about Elise does seem interesting
Suzanne from Season 6. She managed to stay longer then Van.
And Scottly from 18
Having just watched through the eighth season again, I'd definitely say Trev overstayed his welcome. He always performed either mediocre or just plain bad in the challenges, wasn't much better in the dinner services either. Not sure how Trev made it to the final four
Jackie lmao
Hansen is one of those contestants I feel shouldn't have been eliminated so soon. He had a lot of potential.
Hassan reminds me of my older sister with the whole, “I’m not yelling this is how I talk.” thing because she has said the exact same thing before. 😂
I can't lie, it's so interesting to watch people who started out amazing just slowly fall apart. It really speaks loudly to the pressure and chaos that Hell's Kitchen serves. Also I was so sad with Hassan, still breaks my heart to this day
Same here. He was one of my favorite contestants from season 15.
“ That was really difficult today because Brad and Josh were absolutely horrible. With Melissa, she’s very assertive and she sounds like a leader, but unfortunately, she doesn’t cook like a leader.”
“There once was a chef named Zach, for words he didn’t lack. But in the kitchen, he was no magician, and he won’t be coming back.”
“Anton let the little success he had in Hell’s Kitchen inflate his ego. It was time to let the air out of that balloon.”
I feel like anton's downfall is karma for his misogyny
Now that s21 is over, I could finally say Cheyenne. I root for her since the start because of how strong she is and being a beast and with that I placed her as my winner. However, when she lay-low during the black jacket challenge, she started to crumble and it led to her downfall.
Honorable mention: Benjamin. He was a powerhouse and Ramsey sent him over to give the red team some leadership. After that, he absolutely tanked.
He was a douchebag. But coming back he was totally different
And he even got scolded by chef Scott.
Even though Benjamin is a douchebag either in Blue Team or Red Team but the guy can cook. It's always Fran and Siobhan who are always sabotaging Red Team Season 7. Autumn at least got a break for moving to Blue Team and got carried by them.
His blatant misogyny coming to the forefront didn't help either.
Surprised vinny wasn't here. Although he was pretty consistent throughout his time and showed some signs of being pretty smart in the kitchen (the lobster tails when the lobster wasn't cooked in a challenge), he started to fall off around his last couple services. Too many risotto and serving pre-made ones to Ramsay's family and the egg dish that got him kicked out weren't too bad, but his last service was pretty awful although I think he deserved black jackets over gail
*sorry he's arguing about a GUY WHO LITERALLY PREVENTED A STATION FROM WORKING IN ONE OF THE FIRST FEW SERVICES*
He's not that good to get a black jacket tbh
I'd also include Vinny: he was an early frontrunner in season 8, and despite his mistake on night 2, he was the strongest in the blue team before Russell's irruption, however, in his last few services he began to weaken and in the end he ended up so close to the black jackets
Btw, season 22 spoiler:
Melissa had probably the most brutal downfall: she went from a frontrunner to an early boot
Melissa's fall from grace sucks also because she went from such good potential to actively sabotaging the teams multiple times.
- Wedding couple challenge, they were making duck and she put it back in the oven when everyone else told her not to and overcooked it. Then when they were told to serve it anyway, she actively told her team in front of Ramsay to not present it.
- One dinner service she said she needed 2 minutes to go, everyone else was waiting on her. Immediately after, she brings up her dish. Ramsay asks where the rest is and she says, "You guys need 2 minutes?" "You told us YOU need 2 minutes!" "I'm ready to go!"
- Another dinner service she spilled sabayon sauce in the water bath and instead of getting more, she sneaks into the blue kitchen and begs them for some of theirs.
Actually, all of it happened in one episode. Don't forget how she's also burning the potatoes and accused Rock to not teach properly (because the recipe is from Blue Team who won the challenge) even though she's asking Rock many times and complicated everything. Chef Ramsay then asked Jen to do in charge on potato. She should've been eliminated at that night.
@@margarethmichelina5146
Her change in appearance was so sudden. I was completely confused. I was wondering if illegal substances were involved in the change. The wedding ceremony she was solely responsible for the dismal showing, she micromanaged the team to a humiliating loss.
@@drmayeda1930 is that why her hair looked like she got dragged though a brush
@@charlottestreet3301 the simplest answer is that the stress of the show just completely got to her. After she was eliminated and came back for the finale, she looked normal. If it was drugs she still would have looked totally unkempt.
HASSAN to me was screwed over big time by the Hell's Bitches of Season 15
For me it was Hassan's ego and attitude upon entering the Red Team that consumed him and led to him being sent home. He came onto the Red Team cocky snd full of himself. While I wasn't the biggest Danni fan, all ahe asked of him when he came over was to pipe down and talk to her not shout. They were they were in the dorm and it wasn't necessary. They are adults. His "plan" could have worked, if only his approach was more civil. There were glowing examples of men going to the Red Team cocky and ultimately not getting a Black Jacket and definitely losing in the Finals. Anton and Benjamin Knack of season 7 are the ones. Civility, humility, and less misogyny would have served the three of them well.
Stop blaming it on the red team
@@seanswinton6242Ramsey yells at them the whole time wtf are you talking about?
@@meatwad376 exactly that's Ramsey job not hassan. Hassan should be more of a team player and actually lead
@@lerx_mex7601 he was. They weren't following.
These are so good FlynnMasters. All your essays are so rewatchable. Would love to see ones on early boots, season's donkeys, as i know there's many throughout 21 seasons, and best comebacks(i.e. had a bad service but stayed consitent for most of the continuous services).
For me is Zach. One of the most badass service ever (his first service). After.....
anton snapping at gordon's sous chef is genuinely one of the most terrifying things in the world. andi is a beast in the kitchen. i've seen her cook before, not even on hell's kitchen. the fact anton thought it would be cute and macho to continue to talk back to andi genuinely made my skin crawl. i had never seen andi get so damn angry before, and her yelling is like hearing my mom yell. you want to listen to see why she's yelling, but at the same time, it makes you terrified.
I'm gonna say Marc from Season 19 deserved to be on this list. He's basically Zacky Wacky on that season. He started out as a strong chef with perfect 5 score on signature dish and led the team to win and even has a vocal and leadership. Then, his ego starting to get worse as he interrupted Chef Ramsay when Chef Ramsay called the order, blaming his teammates even though it's his fault mostly and even talk too much like an annoying Chihuahua. His performance is so bad in his final night, it made Cody nominated himself in elimination and Chef Ramsay didn't even give a plea after talking about his mistakes on that night. Still can't believe Adam got eliminated over him for his lack of communication on garnish even though Declan, Cody , and Adam carrying the Blue Team on their back.
Ramsay is looking for a leader, not a follower. Adam never showed any leadership. Marc showed tons of leadership potential. It made sense
@@anonymousperson3023 you have common sense
Hassan (Hell's Kitchen Season 15): Despite his downfall, I did felt that he should've stayed in HK Season 15 longer more than Frank, Jackie, Ariel, and/or Dannie.
Ed (Hell's Kitchen Season 7): A good guy and a good cook as well, but unfortunately, I did wish that he could learn how to cook fish better the next time he comes back to Hell's Kitchen, despite being a high school cooking teacher.
Melissa (Hell's Kitchen Season 3): Had a good start, was very assertive, and did had some good potential on being a leader, but unfortunately, her attitude and worsening performances ended up making her a horrible contestant on Hell's Kitchen.
Zach (Hell's Kitchen Season 11): Had a really great start, especially during the first dinner service of Hell's Kitchen Season 11, but then he became a huge jerk later on in the season, especially when he sabotaged Ray during the special private dinner service with the returning U.S. Army servicemen.
Anton (Hell's Kitchen Season 12): Like Melissa (HK Season 3), Anton also had a good start, was a decent chef, had some good potential for being a leader, and even did well during the pizza challenge, but unfortunately, his attitude, arrogance, and sexism ended up destroying his time in Hell's Kitchen, especially when he argued with Sous Chef Andi during dinner service.
Honorable Mention(s):
Scott (Hell's Kitchen Season 7): A good cook, had some good potential on being a leader, and was quite a team dad to his teammates, including Salvatore, but however, he ended up becoming quite cocky and arrogant at the same time, especially when he was transferred to the red team.
Joy and Kaisha ((also) Hell's Kitchen Season 12): Both had a good start, a nice friendship, good cooking skills, and even had potential on winning Hell's Kitchen (especially with Joy), but unfortunately, their attitude and anger ended up getting the best of them.
Gizzy (Hell's Kitchen Season 18): Had a great start and some great cooking skills, but unfortunately, she ended up losing her confidence, which costed her stay in Hell's Kitchen. And it's a shame since Gizzy could have done so much better during her time in Hell's Kitchen and should've stayed instead of Scotley (who became a jerk towards Trev (Hell's Kitchen Season 8)).
Flynn: “A winner won’t be bad at the start”
Scott from s12: Hahahaha no
One other honorable mention I would've added would be Season 19 Amber as she started as one of the strongest members on the red team but after getting switched to the blue team she got worse cooking and personality wise.
Other honorable mention
Andrea(Season 5), J(Season 5, ejected), Robert(Season 6, end up with his worst performance on dinner service during his run), Scott(Season 7), Clemenza(Season 10), Anthony(Season 11, not as bad as Zack), Joy(Season 12), Frank and Jared(Season 15), Trev(Season 18) and Kevin(Season 20, ejected)
I think Amber got moved to Blue Team is a blessing in disguise because we finally see how much arrogant she is. And she's always downgrading someone who she thinks that they are not better than her like how she blames Nikki for being inexperience or Cody and Declan who are mostly her "punching bag". Imagine if she stays in Red Team for so long, she will bully Nikki a lot. I'm glad Jordan also has her own redemption arc because we learn that she has drinking problem and still in recovery.
@@margarethmichelina5146 Fabiola: You forget about me?
Honoable Mention
Chad Season 15
Same like Hassan. Chad was also one of the strongest chefs and had good services but on episode 7 Chad started to begin a downward spiral and as he lost his confidence. So Ramsay sent Chad to the red team in episode 8 to get his confidence back but he never did and started screwing up like he did in episode 7 and 8 and then he was eventually eliminated in episode 10 due to being the worst performer
I thought either Joy or Nilka would be on here but they didn't have a slow downward spiral as much as they self-destructed in a very short time.
I would add Sabrina in season 6, she missed out on a black jacket on the back of 2 bad services even when Van was on a downward spiral.
Vinny season 8 was also on a downturn since serving the old risotto to ramsay's family, he was kicked out the next serving for screwing a spinach and ricotta dish (something he should have nailed) and lost a challenge to Sabrina. Weird to think raj's prediction of "I know the guys on my team have no chance of winning so they are doing everything they can to stop me winning" came true when vinny got eliminated.
I would also add robyn in season 10, the first service on the blue team was best but after that just about stumbled into the black jackets since Brian was very inconsistent and joked around, Tiffany was a slob and had no passion and kimmie fucked up the one cuisine where it was her time to shine
What's actually funny about Robyn is that, if you rewatch 10, she sometimes (Unless it involves Barbie) tries to calm down the soituation, when Tiffany said that Dana, Christina and Dannielle were talking behind their backs (Episode 6), whilst Kimmie was yelling at the trio, Robyn wanted to solve it in a calm manor
@Varis Revolver Yes, that one time, but that was a rarity. She was too animated and irratic all around.
@@seanswinton6242 in fairness to robyn, if I was on a team with Tiffany, barbie and kimmie I too would lose my shit, I was halfly team Justin watching it again since he gave me the vibes of Russell's cooking from season 8 but had a decent attitude but looking back, Christina deserved to win for putting up with the "hells bitches" labelled team
@@AA-dy3qw bruh wtf did Barbie even do to her? Robyn was the one treating her terribly for no reason- if anything, Barbie showed some pretty remarkable restraint considering the whole team hated her for no reason.
"Its unlikely that a chef terrible in the begining will become a beast down through line"
COUGH COUGH Tennille
Zach did turn into a different Chef. He became Chef Grant Banks.
More like banked Chef Grant lol
I think Hassan would have Gone further if he stayed on the blue team but I think the girls just didn’t want to take orders from him and pushed back when he tried to take control and then only put him up for elimination
It was how he came on to the Red Team. Yelling in the dorm when Dani simply asked him to speak, wasn't too much to ask. They are grown people and they weren't in a busy kitchen. The "I'm not yelling, this is how I talk," was juvenile. Does he do that in church? A doctor's office? A job interview? To Chef Ramsay? Additionally, his screw up came at the worst time. The Italian Consulate ordered the meal he screwed up twice.
Lamest excuse
Been waiting for this.
Thank you very much!
I still blame Hassan's downfall on Dannie. IDK what the hell was wrong with her, but after the first challenge victory as a red team member, she was openly hostile toward him for no reason. In fact, she ignored him completely during service. So glad that woman didn't get a black jacket.
Love your clips! Im a big HK fan
Thanks For Sharing!
I love this show but you can tell by how he does the eliminations and the points in the challenges (it ALWAYS goes to the last point/dish to decide) that Ramsay or the editing is kind of making it have more drama than it needs to a lot of the time. Because of this, I wonder about chefs like Ed and Zach and whether they might have been picked intentionally to cause drama, or fail and not to win. I mean that definitely happens sometimes with more obvious picks like Raj or that guy who wanted to get in a fight with Ramsay, those 2 were DEFINITELY picked for the drama not because anyone thought they were going to make it anywhere.
Some other honorable mentions:
Jessica - Season 1
Sara - Season 2
Brad - Season 3
Corey - Season 4
Carol - Season 5
Giovanni - Season 5
Patrick + Kimmie - Season 10 (sort of)
Randy - Season 14 (didn't stand out too much anyway but he did get worse at the end)
Dannie - Season 15 (sort of)
Gizzy - Season 18
Steve - Season 20 (sort of, love the dude but I feel like he messed up more towards the end, could've just been his final service though but I feel like there was something more showing in later episodes with him in it)
Others that could have made the list possibly:
Jonathon - Season 9
Natalie - Season 9
Barret - Season 11
Royce was like a parabola lmao terrible at first, peaked, then gradually got worse again until elimination.
Man I cannot believe that Michael and especially Anthony were screwed out of black jackets because of a stupid narrative as they were 2 of the better performers that season.
Fack Zach Womack
Hassan definitely was very screwed: He was allowed the leader role on the blue team but the ladies never really accepted him as that (at least to my memory). Totally screwed with him. If he stays with the blue team, really wonder how far he could’ve gone, especially compared to how lacking of real leaders were on the blue team that season.
Other mention
Joy(Season 12): Had very good dinner service, but suffer a completely meltdown in the top 5 service
Robert(Season 6): Doing decent in four services, but forced to sit out in sixth dinner service due to him being hospital. He return for seventh dinner service, but had a disaster one after sending two raw pink
Chad(Season 15): Like Hassan
Giovanni(Season 5): Did well in every dinner service except opening night, but had a completely meltdown on top 6 dinner service
Andrea(Season 5)
Raw pink what?
@@TsukasaRui71684 Raw pink dish cause the blue team dinner service was shut down
@@luuduonghy659 what is that dish
@@TsukasaRui71684 Raw pink lamb
@@luuduonghy659 okay thanks for the info
I won't lie, Zach was still a fave of mine to watch, arrogance aside.
But yeah, it was sad that he did so good in the first round, but fell slowly before crashing down hard. The S11 Blue Team really did have a curse.
Another is Ben season 5.
Had 3 very good services but after the debacle with the tomato sauce he just lost it. The dirty tray, pomme fondant among others showed iust how rapidly he feel.
From there it just a downward spiral for him
He did make it to top four
My Thoughts on the Choices
5- It sucks because Hassan truly had the potential to win.
4- I personally prefer Anthony from Season 11 over Ed. Still better than Scott though. Season 7 Scott not Season 12 Scott.
3- Yep, Don't have much to say.
2- Sebastian was right. Plus, I'm even more mad about Anthony getting eliminated than when Jennifer got eliminated in Season 9. At least Jon didn't act like a spineless twit like Will or Paul.
1- Scott and Jason were much better than Anton.
I have an idea. Top comments from Ramsay after eliminating a contestant
"If people were named for their cooking, her name wouldn't be Lovely. It would be Useless."
Anton's blind hatred towards Scott can be funny sometimes
I love when Gordon yells and his voice frays is so hilarious
For the record, I found you via Survivor. I don't watch HK at all and I don't really plan on doing so anytime soon, but these videos are interesting.
I'm ngl Anton's downfall was the biggest downfall in HK history. I legitimately thought him and Joy would be in the finals lol but he had a downfall and Joy rage quit. Pretty insane.
I'd put Tee in there but her situation was different. When she appeared on her All-Star season I had her as a finalist because she just ran into a buzz saw in Meghan in her finale, but I had so much confidence in her, but then she didn't even qualify to appear in the final service of the all-star season because she was so arrogant the second time around and thought she would cruise to the finale..
Gordon: Anton, come here
Anton (angrily sets his pan on fire)
"I am the best Cook here, therefore I am the winner". Next season of HK? Gordon is gonna ask once he meets the cooks "whos the best here". Whoever answers, wins
Loving the work FlynnMasters. An idea I think would be fun to research is the top 5 best bounce back chefs 😊
Hi Flynn great video. Potential idea for next video your favorite returning team based off former contestants to battle in dinner service against the black jackets. I believe popular in season 8 thru 11 Also who can't forget the ultimate dream team. Just a thought keep up the amazing work.
Vinny in my Top 3 from season 8. He was neck n neck with Russell. Seem like he mentally checked out and phoned the rest of the season in.
I feel like with Hassan considering how much promise he showed on the blue team it was unfair for him to go this early
josh from season 14 would later be eliminated mid-service in season 17
Season 17
Andi getting pissed was awesome Gordon’s look is classic like uh oh
honorable mention: jonathon was pretty decent in season 9 and could’ve gotten a lot farther. but out of nowhere he just struggled like crazy.
Amber from Season 19 Had a Meltdown and Her downfall was crazy
Can you do a video ranking all of the mid-service ejection eliminations?
Melissa's hair did nobody give her a brush
I feel that Vinny from Season 8 also had a downfall, chef Ramsay said that he was the on to beat but ever since that hangover he had in his last service he just went down
I will still never get over the duck breast incident with Melissa 😂
Patrick from s10 I think. He was billed as the leader for the blues before switching and tanking hard.
Maybe it's because the Blue Team in Season Seven had a lot of chefs that liked to talk (Jason, Scott, Benjamin even if he could mostly back it up) and Jay, but Ed just seemed to really fly under the radar for me
Top 5 hells kitchen punishments that were actually more rewarding than the actual reward.
Or top 5 worst rewards in Hell's Kitchen history
@@margarethmichelina5146
Like the reward robert couldnt join because of his weight in season 5, and Seth making Ramsay uncomfortable with all the trivia he has on him on the ride. Yeah, that was super punishing for everybody involved. Lol
Hassan's elimination episode could have just been a non-elimination episode, or Dannie should have gone home instead of him, not certainly Chat or Jared.
Dannie definitely should've been eliminated. That wasn't her first bad service.
@@chrismathgeniusneither was Hassan, he had a bad service in episode 5 and 6
Nah, Dannie is a better cook than Hassan, hassan had the worst service that night especially the one where it’s important
You should do a list of chefs that did awesome in the kitchen during the final service like Sterling and Jackie
The way they cut Anton's audio when he said "Scott dropping oil" is interesting. I wonder what he actually said.
“Gail’s performance in Hell’s Kitchen was up and down, up and down, and up and down. Roller coasters are great for amusement parks, not kitchens.”
“Josh had great passion and a strong service tonight. Unfortunately, it was too little too late.”
3:50 - "It seems he never recovered from his hangover."
I dunno why. But this one liner cracks me the f*ck up!🤣
The way Anton treated Scott made me cheer Scott on
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” -Proverbs 16:18 KJV
zack is really showing that he is not a leader by sabotaging ray. a true leader wouldn't be petty or really care about trivial things like that
A downfall from a recent season would have to be Brett Season 21. He started off on a strong note and was a consistent member of the blue team. But later he started struggling and he was transferred to the red team, where he continued to struggle and he was given one last chance on the blue team where he dropped the ball on his leadership not serving 12 dishes at the same time.
And Anton probably started crying into a pillow after Scott won the season
Im pretty sure they rig the stoves by making the heat levels exaggerated to control the narrative. That could explain the consistent over/under cooking of meats. Not just nerves. I think there was an incident where the stoves are broken.
ZACH from Season 11 started well, but when in Episode 3 he proved to be UNTRUSTWORTHY & was always consider to be Full Of B***S*** throughout the rest of his time
How about worse comebacks from season 17 and 18?
Great idea. I would bet Jen would take the cake.
My votes are Elise and Josh from Season 17 and T and Jen, T, and Trevor from Season 18. I would have liked to see Tennille, Mary, and Rochelle back instead as well as Aaron from Season 11.
Josh and Jen because both got ejected
7:09
Must’ve been really chilly that night
Hassan Had so much going for him!
You Blew it!!
You should do the best Elite 8s ever. I think the best Elite 8 on Hell’s kitchen is Season 14
“Anton was a great line cook and a great vocal leader, what more could you ask for?”
Maybe a better ****ing attitude.
If only Anton wasn’t so bad with his emotions, he could’ve won
I swear the misogyny on this show is so weird. Cuz typically when a guy is being a misogynist he’ll say something like “women don’t belong at X job they belong in the kitchen” and stuff like that but then on here you got people like Anton saying “you have issues with being a woman in the kitchen” or other dumbasses saying that HK is a man’s job and women shouldn’t be there. Just shows you how stupid that mentality is when they can’t even decide if a woman’s place is in the kitchen or not
Honorable mentioned: Joy from season 12! Bad service on the 1st night. Doing well until the final 5 when she went off on Chef Ramsay for a simple mistake and eventually quit in the middle of the service.
Why is Joy from season 12 always missing from these lists? She made her alliance with Chef Flustrated and then put up teammates for absolute BS reasons and then she goes and throws a fit during the 15th dinner service whilst until then having been a strong contender to win the competition.
She wasn't even eliminated, she quit.
Full stop.
How the hell does that not make it onto these lists?
