What I love most about Sterling is how he turned down a lot of great opportunities after the show so that he could work for not much money at the hospital that saved his mom’s life. He said that he doesn’t work for the money but, rather, for the passion. What a dude.
What I like about Sterling most is him proving how uptight hyperaggressive hostile evil dirty and bullying to be successful on HK. It shows how lowdown many contestants will be to win Hell's Kitchen.
Dave is one of the most iconic winners! Sterling and Rochelle were sweet funny goofballs which makes their seasons awesome! Tennille’s comeback story is awesome!
I have to put Jon from Season 11 as my favorite chef in Hell’s Kitchen. The guy was the lone shining star of that blue team and even though he didn’t win he went on to work for Gordon.
Tenneille was the realest Hell's Kitchen chef EVER! The ONLY chef and person to Gordon Ramsay in his place to his face! She spoke truth to power, and brought Ramsay's intergalactic ego back to the ground!!
I’ve often said that one video that would be fun to see on this channel would be casting Gordon Ramsay’s Dream Hell’s Kitchen, or a season with all his favorite chefs in one season (and conversely, his Nightmare Season as well). I wonder how many of the chefs from this list would make a cast like that.
Great list. Can't agree more, especially with #1! But I think I would have included Christina. Like you said, it's always tough with these lists and this is s fantastic one! Happy holidays!
Let’s admit it! We all(including myself) thought that Christina(S10) would’ve made this list. She definitely deserves an honorable mention for surviving that red team and winning in the end.
she's not as popular as many other winners but one of my favorites is season 19 winner Kori she was a talented chef and I thought she had some funny confessionals and great attitude overall. She showed kind a caring mother side which I thought was very wholesome. She honestly reminded me a little bit of my mother and sister
She was cool. Hell's Kitchen needed her. Kori helped the ageism and extreme toxic hostility that was shown on HK prior to her season to get removed to a point. I believe Ramsay will always have mostly younger winners in spite of how great older chefs are.
@@seanswinton6242 true she's there oldest female winner to date. Im also just realized that iI forgot to mention that also made me care for her so much was how she helped Jordan when she was feeling down and have her a bit of a motherly side when helping her not to break her sobriety I always loved how despite its a competition she showed kindness outside of it after it was over
Kori kinda invincible in Season 19, Mary Lou stole the spotlight not only with her purple hair but also her bubbly personality. Same with Declan with his thick Irish accent. They both are King and Queen of Confentional at Season 19.
I’m glad Scott Commings is getting the flowers he deserves, he was always a nice and genuine dude, he didn’t deserve all the outcasting he had to go through
Petrozza was just a genuine person I just loved seeing him on season 4 and one of my favorite things was how Bobby helped him in the beginning cause Bobby knew he was a genuinely kind person. Even sometimes people who are always positive and kind need a little help when they feel down once in while. Sterling always made me smile and I loved seeing his positivity and kindness especially in a season where there so many people who are very serious and angry. Rochelle was just the best I loved seeing her cook and despite not having any experience cooking on a line and being a catering chef she showed she had talent. One of my favorite contestants that wasn't on the list was Milly if it wasn't for Megan being there I would've rooted for him to win. He was such a gentle giant and I loved how at the end what he said when he got eliminated cause he was so grateful to chef Ramsay because he never judged him for his appearance or where he came from and told him that he makes delicious food it was so sweet. I honestly would love in an alternate world they all met and started a restaurant. They would make an amazing menu full of flavor and love.
My top chefs on HK: Dave Levy, Christina Wilson, Jason/BlueJay Santos, Nick Peters-Bond, Julia Williams, Bret Hauser, and Kimberly-Ann Ryan. I still respect your choices. Keep doing what you love.
Honorable mention: Alex from Season 21 who's also the winner. This guy is already get my attention from the beginning when he said that he lost his restaurant during pandemic. He's the only one who takes competition seriously throughout the entire time. He's similar to Jon from Season 11, being the only good chef in horrible team (Jon for that horribly pathetic S11 Blue Team and Alex for 40's group), and mostly dominated at challenges (except he got 0/4 at Blind Taste). He's also keeping positive and humble throughout the entire time and never gives up. He barely involved in any drama, oh yeah the time he switched with Tara on Punishment Pass doesn't count because Tara is totally chilidsh and petty for being picked. Alex deserved to win for Season 21.
@@scottylewis8124Too full of himself for me. I appreciate quiet confidence through one's actions not hyper over-the-top behavior. Like Paula (S5) or Motto (S18) who gives me Tommy Chong stoner vibes! I think his beard and demeanor are what does it. 😂😂
Milly is an all timer for me. He Perfected the gentle giant archetype Is undoubtedly one of the most passionate chefs on the show Stays amazingly entertaining, rootable, and non controversial through 2 seasons Very consistent across 2 seasons cooking wise
I really liked Paula (S5). She gave me the feeling that Hell Kitchen was too easy for her and she had no real competition. I liked Danny, but compared to Paula, I thought she was more polished and mature.
This is criminal how you didn't have Raj on the list! If Raj wasn't in season 8, it would have been worse than season 9, he got the audience hooked from 3 episodes in I was a bit shocked none of the season 10 blue team like Brian, clemenza or Justin made the list, mostly Brian and clemenza brought a light hearted approach and were quite funny with an intense red team there and Justin being a winner on any other season with the exception of season 7 in which I think he loses to Jay. Emily in season 20 was just a general sweetheart, I love how she comforted Brynn when she was feeling anxious, she was basically Amanda from S6 vibes and just missed out on a black jacket To say favourites is really hard because you are spoilt for choice between those who made good TV like tenille and those we were teddy bears/sweethearts or badasses
Paula (S5). I know she wasn't a standout "character" but to me, always looked poised, polished, an made cooking look effortless! I thought she was better than Danny, but it may be my view of his maturity compared to his.
I'd need to see more series to decide tbh. Based on what I have seen on this channel, maybe Dave or Megan talent wise? Personality wise, I could agree with Tennille and Tommy. Peoblem with so many of the others is they were not consistently talented and/or likeable.
Honestly, I'm really interested in the honourable mentions; I'm curious to see which chefs barely missed the cut. What you said about Dave's HK story being the stuff of fiction but was actually reality hit a sweet note. It's actually insane that it happened in real life (as real as it can get for reality TV at least).

Wray*, and yeah, I never thought it like that, both winners of the first season, both made "villainous" moves (air quotes more for Richard than Michael) and made some smart moves to guarantee they get close to the end, with a massive chance of winning (Sabotaging Chris, Elsie and Ralph, and creating the alliance post-merge, and guaranteeing Rudy's vote and a bigger chance at winning by stepping down)
I can’t get behind Tommy’s hype. He was literally dating a teenager at the time of filming and saying he was going to marry her while he was a 31 year old grown man. It’s an automatic ick for me
@@seanswinton6242 He was a pretty fun villain with one of the greatest eliminations in HK history. The only chef in S19 I don't like is Amber, and the rest of the cast is so good that I didn't feel like making a note to exclude her.
@@LavenderLushLuxury Well damn! Despite Elise being in the bottom in both seasons and being a Flynnmasters least favorite contestant, I can see how much you love her. Just not majority of the HK fan base is gonna side with you on that or this list here lol.
U cant convince me that Tenille is so great, now I dont think she is bad, but she is soooooooooooooooooooooo overrated. Literally just Dana with less Talent
Some pointers as a fan of the channel: 1. SLOW DOWN. You speak way too fast for your brain to keep up, so you stumble over your words constantly, misspeak, and mispronounce things. 2. Enunciate more. Your words blend together and this, combined with you speaking so fast, makes it hard to understand what you meant to say at points. 3. Whenever you speak, your inflection seems really unnatural. It’s more pronounced in scripted videos, but you start with a higher tone and continually goes downwards. Is this how you naturally speak, or is this just something you do when reading your scripts? 4. Especially is pronounced like it’s spelled, not “eckspecially” 5. Scheme is pronounced “skeem,” not like “sheem” I really like your videos but these unscripted ones have honestly been kind of hard to listen to. I only say this in the hope that you see it and make some changes. Keep up the great work!
These are borderline hard to watch with how he struggles to speak. Scripted videos sound unnatural and unscripted videos are him tripping over himself constantly
What I love most about Sterling is how he turned down a lot of great opportunities after the show so that he could work for not much money at the hospital that saved his mom’s life. He said that he doesn’t work for the money but, rather, for the passion. What a dude.

Anthony and Michael were good, but they got eliminated over Zach
@ Anthony deserved a black jacket over Zack
@@TheHManShow Zack didn’t even get one, it was a final 5 brigade, they could’ve still done the narrative with two men
Tennille was hilarious
I want her back for an All Star Season.
@ S9 was supposed to be an all star season
It was?
Tenneille was the realest Hell's Kitchen chef EVER! The ONLY chef and person to Gordon Ramsay in his place to his face! She spoke truth to power, and brought Ramsay's intergalactic ego back to the ground!!
@ I mean, I don’t know if I’d go that far. But she definitely earned Chef Ramsay’s respect. That’s for sure.

My favourite is always gonna be Milly from Philly. Such a warm and passionate character who is a phenomonal chef.
Same here. I also liked Declan (skills and U.K. humour can't be topped), Van, Steve (S20)
My mom absolutely loves Rochelle's attitude
My favorite female chef in Hell's Kitchen
Great list. Can't agree more, especially with #1! But I think I would have included Christina. Like you said, it's always tough with these lists and this is s fantastic one! Happy holidays!
When season 23 wraps up, you should rank all the seasons and you should do your boot order of each season
Let’s admit it! We all(including myself) thought that Christina(S10) would’ve made this list. She definitely deserves an honorable mention for surviving that red team and winning in the end.
She’s so overrated.

I wish we lived in a dimension where petrozza actually won season 4
Scott getting treated like Dinkleberg all season then winning it is great
I can’t believe Robert from season 5 isn’t on this list
True, but it's his favorites. Robert was great.
Very true but I think Season 6 sorta ruin his reputation a little bit. I still loved him in season 5 though.
Dave is a goated contestant. It is insane that he hasn’t guest appeared on any other season since HK 11.

Some pointers as a fan of the channel:

2. Enunciate more. Your words blend together and this, combined with you speaking so fast, makes it hard to understand what you meant to say at points.
3. Whenever you speak, your inflection seems really unnatural. It’s more pronounced in scripted videos, but you start with a higher tone and continually goes downwards. Is this how you naturally speak, or is this just something you do when reading your scripts?

Flynn, when are you gonna do actual videos with scene and not just show the title and simple pictures? I'm considering unsubscribing at this point
