Fun fact: Jim in his Twitch Stream claimed that he was eliminated because producers wanted him to start drama with Robert, but he said "fuck no" and producers wanted him out for that. Seems like he gave up on the show after viewing this more of a drama show than a cooking show.
@@AlessandroChiarelliRamsay ain’t gonna carry someone who makes a painful mistake harming others. I mean there’s a good reason why Michael(S14) was eliminated in the 3rd dinner service. He didn’t burn anyone but he could’ve possibly after leaving a hot pan under the sink on top of the other pans and if anyone else touched it, that’s a 3rd degree burn. Safety is always the first concern and Ramsay eliminating Giovanni was the right call.
@@rayewaddell9668 You say that when season 4’s winner burned Ramsay’s hand twice with a similarly careless mistake. Ramsay just has no consistency with this stuff.
@@meko750 "No consistency" Also that happened to Gordon, whether or not he wanted to keep her around for this is his decision alone since its his body. while Roberts Case was someone else's body that Gio Injured
@@tallyikroe2476 Personally, if someone's careless mistake caused personal injury to myself twice in the same service, I wouldn't reward them with 250,000 dollars. Obviously it's Ramsay's decision, all of these things are his decision. Doesn't mean it doesn't stand out as inconsistent.
@@jonnysforlife1697 Jennifer was happy the 2nd time around because hey at least she beat Elise in All Stars(S17) and she took her elimination well that time around.
Same! Jennifer should have gotten at least 3rd in S9 and definitely should have gotten a black jacket over Robyn in all stars. Idk why the continue to do her like that
Season 10 Patrick elimination over Tiffany was complete bullshit, especially with that excuse that she cares a 9. S9 Jennifer elimination still pissed me off to this day. Zachy Wacky got too many chaces, he should've be elimated over that Sabotage. I think Richard deserved another chance of Gabriel (S12) and S17 Van what the hell and what about Hannsen
I mean I get that Patrick was very much on a downward spiral and was clearly never going to get better, Tiffany's answer was so disgusting and lazy that the fact Chef didn't kick her out then and there is beyond my comprehension.
It could've been a double elimination, but that season had 20 episodes, they needed to strech out more. Patrick - ELIMINATED - 12 service mistakes (meat without sealing and just boiled, didn't listen to the order and made a mistake when speaking to the chef, undercooked fillet and the steaks were delayed, raw fillet, cooked scared and didn't recover, talked too much and didn't cook enough) Tiffany - 22 service mistakes (delayed pizza, burnt pizza, very slow service, inconsistent belinis, lack of quality control and don't care, communication, fought with Barbie in the middle of service)
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 The thing is. Tiffany did shine more due to being on a overall better team then Patrick where his leadership really costed him a chance to win as he tried to be the team leader. then screwed his chance when he failed to be the team captain. I think looking at this. thats the reason Tiffany survived over Patrick. However she got eliminated the next episode anyways
@@tallyikroe2476 I don't necessarily disagree but an answer like that would have pissed me off and I would have thrown her out. If you don't care, then why are you wasting my time?
Giovanni’s elimination was completely fair, he literally did a season 14 Michael mistake and yes while Michael didn’t actually cause any injuries but could, Giovanni did to Robert, which I personally believe ultimately sealed his fate.
@@FlynnMastersi would have argued Wil’s elimination was even more unfair, Seth acted like an arrogant POS about it while Wil accepted all the mistakes like any mature human being would
@@FlynnMastersprobably the elimination between Seth and Charlie. Charlie was weak but so was Seth, Charlie also didn't waste over 100 dollars worth of meat that night, Seth did
Most unfair elimination in season 1 was Carolann. She was a kitchen manager of a multi-million dollar restaurant in NYC before Hells Kitchen. She was one of few people who up to that point showed some competency in the kitchen. Wendy thought cold water boils faster than hot water. Jeff admitted he had never worked a line before. Carolann got eliminated for not bailing out more incompetent people on their stations.
Her elimination struck me as odd too. I can only imagine she left because Dewberry had a more interesting personality, but Carolann was one of the few competent chefs there and I doubt she was even aware that she was expected to jump in when other stations were sinking
I’m glad I’m not alone about Eddie. The dude messed up one garnish and got eliminated. He seemed like such a nice guy, too. Everybody always rides how Hassan was robbed, but he wasn’t. He was supposed to United and lead the red team and failed to do so.
@@lerx_mex7601 You again Scotley's fault guy? Anyway he was since it wasn't Dannie's first bad service and also she was not a leader. She should have gone
2:36 And the worst part is, that we never got the chance to listen to Louross’s exit speech bc of the switch up with Matt & Jen that was more important 😠.
I agree. It always upset and saddened me that Eddie got eliminated that season too. Also my name is Eddie as well. We Eddies watch each other’s backs 😊
Chris going home on Season 1 was because Ramsay was having none of it and he seem to have a target on his back : - Since the signature dish and Chris mentioned about “Executive chef” , Gordon went ballistic on him - Mentioned that Chris sit his ass down all day and on the line he is slow - Then Chris was late on the first morning challenge and Ramsay was having none of it and give him as much shit as possible - You could say that over the show , Chris did got somewhat better but Ramsay still have a personal problem with him - Also we only saw what was on camera and on film. We never saw what happened behind scenes - Not only that , when Red team lost two services in a row , Ramsay mentioned that “red tean you guys shrink” , and put Micheal to that team , and mentioned the lack of leadership of Chris - You add that Micheal was doing a better job in the red team and was carrying it , pretty much make Ramsay on “okay I am gonna kick out that plank anytime” - On the very last service on Micheal vs Ralph , Chris refused to comeback for the final
@@EpicAndrew97That would’ve made more logical sense but Ramsay played by the rules in season 1. To be fair, while Jimmy was messy that night, he did managed to get some food out so that’s probably debatably Jimmy’s only good service. As underrated as I did found Jimmy, he did get carried by Michael into the Black Jacket phase.
@@lerx_mex7601 Nah. He was weak only in Episode 2 but luckily Genaro was a train wreck. He didn't deserve nomination in neither Episodes 4 and 5. Should have been Devin and Johnny respectively
@@lerx_mex7601 Aaron was a bit aimless throughout the competition but on the night he went home, He would have had a perfect service if the blue team won. He made 0 mistakes but racist dumbfuck matt pushed him to be eliminated
Yeah that was always going to end badly. Why in the fuck did you let a CEO decide the final 2. when you are broadcasted on a network that's known for being homophobic
honestly, i don't find curtis's elimination unfair. he was put on the sushi station to see if he could bounce back after the challenge, but he didn't, and he was the main reason why the kitchen dragged that night, leading to his elimination
I know Chris from S12 had a similar situation. He didn’t do well on the pizza challenge but was given another chance to bounce back but failed miserably
This seems to be a recurring complaint from most HK fans. Treating Curtis like he was wronged or a victim of an unfair elimination when in reality he had been bad the entire competition, failed miserably in the Sushi challenge and then failed to bounce back from his challenge failure during service and sunk his team. HK is all about bouncing back and learning from your mistakes. You fail to do that then you deserve to go home and Curtis definitely deserved to be eliminated.
@@ryanjohansson8950 Perhaps, but there is absolutely no chance on planet Earth that Curtis, without nomination, should have gone home before Raj. PERIOD. Not to mention that Hell's Kitchen isn't a sushi competition, and they aren't trying to win a sushi restaurant. In fact, you are putting the guy who continually pronounced it "SUCHI" on the sushi station, then you absolutely deserve to lose and fail. I would bet money that that was intentionally rigged by production in order to get Curtis to fail in order to attempt to justify keeping Raj around for another episode or two. Curtis wasn't going to win, but he deserved better and was sacrificed to the Gods to feed Raj.
@@ryanjohansson8950 I think it was because of his exit interview and how he was in tears apologising to his family which has clouded everyone's judgement about it
This may be an unpopular opinion, but Dan being eliminated over Barrett in s11 deserves a mention. Barrett 100% deserved to go home after making two fatal mistakes in two back to back services.
Raymond and Barret Deserved to be eliminated Over Dan. Dan had 1 Bad Service which was mostly not even his fault to begin with. Past that he had 1 insanely good service, and 1 service where he only made 1 fuck up. and he went home I'm suspecting the producers saw the "worst blue team of all time' tagline of the season and Dan was threatening that from happening. So Dan who had wayy too much attitude to ever win, just got sacked off instead of 2 chefs that were not only much worse then dan. But while on probation. Raymond shouldn't have gotten his jacket back. the fact he did was fucking ridiculous
To be fair, Louross was the main reason why the blue team lost that service at the final 7 as a couple tables walked out on his mistakes on the meat station so I kinda understand why Petrozza picked him over Jen. Not to mention he was on a downward spiral at that point.
@@bobbynewman9321 Well the only reason why Matt survived was because none of his tables walked out after his screw ups on both stations and both Christina and Corey managed to serve all their customers. The blue team had a few tables walked out and that’s mainly due to Louross making tons of mistakes on the meat station so pretty much there’s a good reason why the blue team lost that service and that’s mainly thanks to Louross. To add on, Matt was on the winning team this time around and Ramsay wouldn’t break that rule until the next season with Carol(S5). So between Jen and Louross, I think Louross was the best choice at that point.
@@bobbynewman9321 If anything, I would’ve eliminated Matt during that service and guess what, Louross would still be getting the boot after that service, so in that case, just give out 5 Black Jackets instead that season.
@@rayewaddell9668well Matt was completely carried and kicked off 2 different stations and was just useless all night only reason he survived was cos Corey and Christina carried his arse
Let’s be real, Elise, Jason (S22) and Raj were all kept around because of drama. Not to mention that Curtis has one of the saddest eliminations in HK history.
Unpopular opinion: I don't think that Donya's elimination was as bad as people say that it was. Donya was on thin ice leading up to that nomination after she struggled to say that Sandra was the weakest chef on the red team during the final 10 and Chef Ramsay let her know that. Donya was a better cook than Jason but her lack of confidence during the tail end of her run and her failures to delegate her own course during charity night doesn't really translate to being a head chef, which is what caused her to be eliminated.
@@nevenpatrk9661 This here. Not to mention she had a terrible performance at the final 9 but gets lucky due to Atoye on the blue team being much worse than her and if it wasn’t for Atoye doing poorly that night, then Donya would’ve gotten the boot there instead.
Carmen was the weakest chef after Atoye Left the red team, However Carmen had a much better Social Game then Donya (not to say hers was bad). So She would Scape by most eliminations. The Final 10 was just Donya having too much integrity
@@tallyikroe2476 “Carmen was the weakest person on the red team after Atoye went to the blue team.” Yet you still had Sandra who was way more inconsistent in her run and despite her last service being good up until the end, she kept screwing up over and over again as the competition went on and was up on the block numerous times. Not saying she was a bad chef but she just didn’t fit well enough with this talented cast to begin with and I think if Sandra had more confidence in herself and was more consistent, then I could see her go further but in that talented season, I think 10th place was fair enough for her. Although I think Ramsay should’ve handled the situation better by making it a joint win on both teams and still have both come up with 1 nominee each.
@@bobbynewman9321 Atoye at the final 9 was still worse than Jason unfortunately so her elimination was justified and I think 9th place was fair enough for Atoye. While I can agree that Jason should’ve left on charity night, it sure didn’t help the fact that Donya was nominated for 3 mediocre performances in a row halfway in the season so I kinda understand why Donya was cut short.
For season 10, I would go Patrick as I genuinely think if Tiffany goes home because of like a 9, Brian gets a black jacket as Royce goes at 10, Robyn at 9 without Tiffany, Kimmie at 8, and Patrick at 7 unless another meltdown from Patrick. And I know Patrick was a bit more inconsistent and had a meltdown that very episode, Tiffany had way less passion than him and wasn’t good by any means. Besides, Patrick was picked quite early for the final dinner service while Tiffany wasn’t there at all.
Jason should have had an automatic elimination as soon as he blammed Christina wilson for his mistake HOW ON EARTH DID JASON WHO BLAMMED A SOUS CHEF SURVIVE!
and what's better is Gordon told No one he was doing this. which lead the staff that were responsible for escorting the eliminated contestants to the Hotel to be really fucking confused as to where the other chef was at
You know Donya's elimination was unfair when even Johnathan at the beginning of the next episode was mad about it and they weren't even on the same team.
Before judging what constitutes an unfair elimination I think most viewers need to realize that this show isn’t just about who has the best services or who cooks the best dishes. They are competing for a head chef job to run a kitchen, not a line cook job. There are way more intangibles like leadership, creativity, communication, work ethic, composure, confidence and the ability to bounce back from your mistakes that are needed to have success. Just because someone is decent in service doesn’t mean it’s automatically an unfair elimination if they are lacking or not showing any growth or improvement in other critical areas necessary.
It sounds like you're trying to convince the majority to agree with you and your way of thinking. I think you're in the minority for a reason, and your efforts to convince me that your elimination opinions are better than mine are going to fail miserably.
@@tallyikroe2476Realistically, most of this show should be played through services. Challenges rarely get people eliminated, there are tons of chefs with bad challenge performances that win (Dave was garbage in them yet won). Leadership can be something that could sway an elimination but most of the cooks unfairly saved in the instances of this video were bad leaders. Especially Josh and Santos who did bad in the charity service
@@Someone-tuf while its the main focus of the show. if you're not creative in your dishes then you have no shot at winning unless there were specific circumstances that elevate you to the top. in daves case his injury propelled him to the top as Gordon was usually really cautious on chefs getting an injury because he has never seen anyone fight through the pain. especially one as severe as him missing an arm.
I remember watching Donya’s elimination live, and I was beyond pissed off. Just seeing how abysmal Jason’s performance was, I was 1000% positive he would be going home. Yea, Donya didn’t have a stellar night either, but it was arguably less bad than Jason’s and she had much more highs than him. Even to this day, it still kinda bothers me.
Jason actually did deserve to get as far as he did. However Imo I think Donya should have survived over Jason. Also if Jason Sees this. hes going to get a bit of pleasure (as said inside of Purgatory Pantry)
@@tallyikroe2476 I am just stating my opinion. I’m just giving my feelings on his performance. Outside of HK, Jason is a chill person and is getting along very well with Ryan and Johnathan as well.
I feel like the main reason why Donya was eliminated is because when she was nominated next to Sandra she couldn't answer who was the weakest chef so maybe that's what ultimately gave her the axe? But then again Jason's performance in the charity service was abysmall so I don't know 😭
@@Kitas_Nissan_Driver I think thats probably why, In this new era of hells kitchens, a lot of the chefs had too much integrity to pull some back handed tricks. the downside is for some reason, none of them wanted to outright say they were better then someone. despite the fact you have to in order to survive elimination.
For me the most unfair eliminations from season 11 would have to be Jessica and Anthony. The red team even mentioned in episode 7 that it wouldn’t have been fair to nominate Jessica if they didn’t nominate Susan, yet she still got the boot while Susan outstayed her welcome. And Anthony, while he was beginning to lose his confidence and really messed up in episodes 14 and 15, the fact that he left before Zach is still one of the biggest robberies in HK history.
Anthony's was completely fair considering his occupation was pitiful considering everything hes done in the competition up to that point. I would say Dan was a worse elimination due to the 3 times they were nominated. were because of the following: 1. Something that was not even his fault at all other then attitude 2. a completely bullshit nomination 3. Sterling levels of BS reasons to be nominated
I have a theory that Chef Ramsay actually picks the finalists early on, while still cutting out the fat, leading to unfair eliminations of people he already knows don't deserve to win. For example, he probably decided that the only people capable of winning Season 9 were Will and Paul, leading him to base most of the eliminations on keeping those two around while maximizing entertainment. I am aware of some flaws with this theory (Josh versus Alison in Season 14), but it just makes sense to me.
Virginia is a fantastic resteraunt owner but she was so inconsistent. She shouldn’t have been in the black jackets much less the finalist but Ramsey was like “THE PALETTE THO”
@@gravitykat714 I agree I thought she was the most childish woman ever prancing around the kitchen shop when she won a challenge and didn’t even know what a cleaver was used for. I couldn’t stand this woman. So one dimensional.
"Two portions short of a risotto" sounds like one of Ramsay's weird food pun insults from Kitchen Nightmares (like "Taste of Greece? More like tastes of greasy!")
Chris: I think this elimination is why Ramsay slowly started to consider the actual nominees less and less because this definitely wasn't a good look Keith: I still think about this elimination constantly on why the hell it even happened. Brad: Similar to Chris honestly. Louross: I mean, he deserved a black jacket over Matt definitely. This elimination confuses me because he got no last words, and then there was the useless team swap again. Giovanni: I personally don't really see what was so unjustified about it because it seemed like he kind of gave up after the whole "dickface" moment. Jim: I think the real Jim has talked about what happened on why he got sent home. Still a pretty confusing one. Siobhan: Consider she had been nominated I believe 3 times in a row at that point, vs Fran's 5th overall, I constantly flip back and forth who deserved to go home more, but I don't really think it was that unfair as it was pretty obvious whoever survived was gonna be next. Vinny: If you watch the entire season, Vinny pisses off Ramsay NUMEROUS times, so I feel like him going home before the black jackets was understandable. Not entirely justified, but understandable. Jamie: The look on the blue team members says it all. HOW. Brian: Yeah I was annoyed that he didn't get a black jacket, but he definitely gave up during service, which is a big no-no Michael: I legit keep forgetting about this one, because it's so similar to Anthony's, and Michael was far less memorable, but yeah, Zach should've gone home at that point. Richard: Richard definitely did deserve to survive over Gabriel, but I'm kind of glad in hindsight Gabriel lasted a bit longer because he had an amazing service, followed by an ejection. Fernando: I still don't completely understand why the show wanted to keep Santos around, considering he was so forgettable, he didn't get any sort of retrospective despite getting a black jacket. Fernando wasn't memorable either, but still. Alison: I think Randy's elimination was more bs, for similar reasons to Fernando's. Josh simply didn't belong in the black jackets. Eddie: I keep forgetting about this one, but yeah, what he did worse than everyone else, I do not know. Aziza: Probably the most forgettable one here, and I don't really have much to say because I've watched Season 16 a grand total of 3 times, and I can't STAND it. Nick: I'm still extremely pissed about this one. He's literally one of my favorite contestants of all time. Kanae: It's a prime example of the major flaw of the black jacket challenges. Plus, she had 3 pretty solid dishes, and yet she went home. Adam: NGL, getting my rage back of people going home when they shouldn't or people not going home when they should made me realize how much I missed the show when Season 19 came out. Steve: I mean, Steve had shown that he wasn't exactly the most talkative, but I think he should've at least gotten a chance at the past over Brynn, who clearly wasn't emotionally mature enough to run a brigade yet. Mindy: I was just baffled by this. The entire time, I was like "this is when Ileana goes home." aaaaand NOPE. Donya: In hindsight, this elimination made a bit more sense with the whole "everyone except Jason got a black jacket" moment, but I was beyond infuriated that Jason survived because the entire episode made it look like he was a goner with the just dreadful charity night service.
Fernando: The problem was not Santos on his first time up for elimination, but Roe or Sterling should have gone home after their third and fourth time respectively on the block: Mindy: Ileana was nominated just for the first time and was a SECOND nominee. Mindy was nominated twice and had three bad services in a row.
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 At least Robyn had a few strong points here and there. Not saying she was the best but compared to other Black Jacket contestants like Sara(S2), Josh(S3), and Matt(S4) she did show a lot of passion and hunger. Best of all, she ain’t no Ms. I care for a 9(Tiffany).
@@rayewaddell9668 I guess but two time black jacket especially over Jennifer! If it was how it was before season 16! Robyn would not have been a two time black jacket! Just because you have passion doesn’t mean you good!
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 Robyn was on a strong blue team in All Star. If she was on the red team then she definitely would’ve been a mid boot at best. It’s just that the red team brought each other down a lot which led to the red team losing more dinner services and challenges and with that, Robyn used that advantage to redeem herself a bit and bond with the blue team better and look what happened. Sure the blue team carried her most of the time but she was able to hold her own at times. She did give the blue team a few more reward wins. She literally killed the red team in the blind taste test challenge with 3/4 and most of the red team members got 0/4 or probably 2/4.
@@rayewaddell9668 Fair enough I think after how All Stars ended with Nick being screwed! I will forever hate the season and probably use Robyn as main reason for that hate!
Series 11 John should have won especially in view of the fact that the blue team was one of the worst in the history of the show. John was a beacon of loveliness, a great chef and an all round lovely man. I rarely disagree with chef but I think he made the absolutely wrong decision here
Just finished S19 and I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say Adam's elimination was justified. They foreshadowed Adam was in danger when the blue team commented that Adam was coasting by during service, and not giving 100 percent effort because he was so sure he would make it to the black jackets no matter what. Chef Ramsey gave Adam one final chance to stand out and he didn't.
Nope. Adam's elimination was still bullshit. He had 1 bad night and he got eliminated over someone who had been inconsistent throughout the entire competition while that night was his only bad night with literally so many highs that if it were him vs Declan then Declan would have gone home EASILY
@@tallyikroe2476 Well if Kori on the red team was leading and commanding her team while on the garnish station and Adam on the blue team wasn’t then there’s the problem. Kori was doing what she was supposed to be doing while on that station. If you’re on garnish, then you have to be a few seconds ahead of everyone else. Not saying Adam is a terrible chef but how in the world is he gonna win his own restaurant. I mean with that issue, I can’t see him surviving charity night if the purpose is to communicate as well as owning your course. Communication is another important part in restaurants too if you want things to go well.
@@rayewaddell9668 Still., I think he should have been given another chance on thin ice while Marc did not ass badly but had been on literal thin ice throughout the entire competition with not only Gordon, but his team as well.
Jamie was also fairly eliminated since Carrie and Elise both had less bad services. Jamie - ELIMINATED- 24 mistakes, 22 service mistakes (whipped cream separating, negative review, plate with hair on the pass, said it wasn't on the plate implying that the chef planted the hair, doesn't seem to care, gave up, communication, delay in garnish confusion, burn zucchinion the pass, decadent performance makes chef worried because he doesn't receive any response and can't continue, instead of improving it got worse and worse, lack of fight showed that it's not ready because it's not the what you did in the past, but what you do now that counts) Elise - 22 mistakes, 15 service mistakes (presentation, team chose her dish as the worst, stood by with crossed arms,, too heavy desert, too much vinegar, dish was worth zero and her team did the right thing by not evaluating it, communication, vegetarian pasta with lobster on the pass, don't need a black jacket but a straightjacket, oysters were overcooked on the pass and was kicked out of the kitchen, lack of control in station,, lack of concentration and lack of respect) Carrie - 13 mistakes, 8 service mistakes (appearance, very sweet, lack of balance, negative reviews, communication, burnt fish on pass, said she didn't see it, was kicked from the kitchen, told not to be kicked and tried to argue with the chef, arrogance)
Elise could have gone home as well... Not only it was her third time up for elimination, but Jamie was not an original nominee as well and she didn't get kicked out
yeah no, Jamies elimination was still bullshit. the only reason she was eliminated was to keep the 2 drama starters that were significantly worse then Jamie in all areas around + Krupa
You kinda exaggerate these really hard. Especially on whoever gets eliminated. But anyways, this was Jamie's first bad service while Elise and Carrie were close to elimination many times
@@Someone-tuf he is known for doing this. Probably his stupidest one that I didn't realize sooner was saying that Jim got eliminated because of statistics that literally does not matter as if what Jim says is true. it would circumvent the statistical reasoning completely. and even including the statistical value. Andy would have been eliminated
The most annoying thing about Elise is that up to the black jackets, while she had plenty of bad moments, she didn’t have any flat out awful services. She deserved to stay over Gina, Krupa, Carrie, and Jamie, and while it’s annoying she got a black jacket, it’s somewhat understandable since Elizabeth showed signs of giving up. It makes the Jennifer thing SO much more annoying because the one time Elise definitely deserved to go home, she stayed
Finally, some mentioned Louross! He really deserved to make it to black jackets. He had so much energy and fight. I also found it strange that his elimination is the only one (save for mid-service elims) that he didn't have an exit interview. Did he just decline to do one? I'm still bitter about Hassan's elimination. It actually made the rest of S15 unwatchable for me. I was really unhappy about Heather getting a black jacket over Kanae too. I don't think there was a single person in the black jacket lounge that was excited to see Heather walk through the door haha.
Watching the raw service cuts from Season 2 services, I really changed my opinion on the unfairness of Virginia over Keith. Yes, Virginia was crap - but Keith really wasn't all that great (Heather was so head-and-shoulders above everyone that season, it was completely obvious by episode 2 who would win). He had a terrible attitude all season and more mistakes than the broadcast edit showed. He was a competent line cook (which is a step up from Virginia, of course) when he cared and was focused, which wasn't really all that often. And the broadcast version of his elimination episode shows him being bad running the kitchen, but it really sells short how abysmal he was - Virginia was nothing special on that and she was clearly better than him. All told it was a shocking elimination from the broadcast, but from the raw, it's totally defensible. Especially since Heather was clearly going to crush either of them anyway. All that to say, we only see a small portion of what happens during the service. There is so much that gets cut from two kitchens running for 3-ish hours each to fit into a 15-20 minute segment. Some of these unfair ones would probably be entirely justifiable if we could see a more full cut.
And finally, let's compare Steve and Brynn's services in that episode. Steve - ELIMINATED- 19 mistakes, 12 service mistakes (puree, white plate, could have had more oranges, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, took too long to put the wellingtons in the oven, didn't answer chef and didn't look him in the face, lack of voice, overcooked wellingtons in the pass, very quiet and recurrence of not communicating with his team, doesn't seem to care, admitted that he doesn't know how to change and said he expects chef to teach him, learned that silence in the kitchen is goodbye ) Brynn - 13 mistakes, 10 service mistakes (white plate, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, lack of composure, got the order wrong, lack of focus, said there was a wellington in the order, didn't answer chef, looks like she panicked , lack of voice, anxiety got in the way, lack of confidence) Maybe if Steve's plea wasn't pathetic by his standards (he gave both the best and worst pleas of that season) he woul'dve stayed.
@@bluevegito-6979 Luckily for Matt, he was on the winning team at that time. I can only assume that Ramsay eliminated Carol(S5) off the winning team the next season due to how atrocious both Josh(S3) and Matt(S4) in their own runs and I guess Ramsay regretted not eliminating Josh at the final 6 or Matt off the winning team at the final 7.
I always felt Brad went home because he allowed himself to be put up; like he bought Josh’s stupid line about being a “whipping boy” and seemed to think he would be safe over Bonnie if he went up, but he just seemed he got what he deserved by not being willing to make the obvious choice and put Josh up. I also disagree with Louross being better than Jen, but he definitely was better than Matt. Jen is a bitch but was a solid cook in season 4
With Brad when you delve into the details it makes total sense because he took control of the menu for the final 6 dinner service which was Red menu v Blue Menu. The 3 dishes the blue team put up were all Brad's and soup dish he put up got sent back by JP. Also he wasnt a team player because he didn't help Josh with the lamb dish that was his design.
chef ramsay LITERALLY selected Nick first to move on and compete in the finally, meaning he saw so much in him. Like he was the most improved chef that season. Ill say this every damn time if I have to: Nick deserves so much better. s17 is so unwatchable BECAUSE of this outcome (and my dislike of the red team). white men in suits should NEVER be allowed to judge food again unless they are actually chefs. NICK WON IN MY HEART. ITS SO UNFAIR HE LOST.
yeah that elimination was a trainwreck, While I personally think Michelle winning isn't a bad outcome, the fact that she won with nick being screwed out of an elimination due to someone I personally believing was a bit homophobic and was not eligible to judge the chefs. period. was pretty insulting
I think for s4, Bobby going over Jen was the most unfair, outsideof night 1, Bobby did barely anything wrong and was awesome all season and then Ramsay took him out over Jen of all people who sucked in all 3 jacket colours
Honestly, I think something that makes a lot of fans view Nick's elimination even more negatively than some, is not only that it was really only done to ensure Michelle would 100% win the season, but because of the whole rumour surrounding it: Basically, Nick being an openly gay contestant led to many people believing his elimination was purposely done, because Mark Frissora was homophobic, and therefore did not want a member of the LGTBQ community being a head chef.
I agree 100% Mindy wasn’t one of the strongest and she was lacking confidence, but Ileana definitely should’ve left instead given her rough performance on the meat station.
Sometimes eliminations happen because of a split decision to put the heat on someone. and then theres mindy where Cheyenne legally could not make an alliance with her. making what happened all the more painful
There are some picks that I don't agree and also could be addition; Season 6: Van getting eliminated over Suzanne because Suzanne constanly making mistakes, being too cocky, arrogant and snubs and yeah, Van despite his hype personality can be a douche too sometimes, remember when he argued with JP? Season 9: Besides Jamie and Jennifer who lost to Elise, Elizabeth also getting screwed up on Black Jacket round as she missed her chance to get Black Jacket over Elise. But then again, she screwed on the reunion challenge for always being on Lalaland and she took the word "dumb blonde" to whole other level. And Elise is good for TV Season 10: Yeah, Brian not getting Black Jacket over Robyn is fair enough but don't forget that Patrick got eliminated over Tiffany, Robyn, and Royce. Robyn and Royce definetly would go back in line but if I was Ramsay, I would definetly eliminated Tiffany as she was not caring to make pizza as she hated kids, argued with Barbie in front of Ramsay on dinner service and has the worst pathetic plea ever, "Like a 9...." Patrick deserved another chance. Season 12: Besides Richard, Ralph also getting screwed up by Gabriel when Gabriel threw him under the bus to nominate him. Ralph has more potential than Gabriel. Season 16: Koop, Wendy and Devin could stay over Paulie if Paulie didn't snitch to Ramsay over Koop breaking a chair, Wendy and Devin also didn't make mistakes but whatever, Paulie needed to be the last douchebag of Season 16 to stay. I prefer Andrew to get Black Jacket over Paulie to see if his relationship with Heather effect him on Black Jacket round. Season 20: Morgana over Payton. Payton is absolutely terrible cook from Blue Team and also a terrible cook on Red Team. Morgana is a dominant chef but too bad her voice is not loud enough.
Season 12 Ralph was hiding throughout the season, made Demarco a scapegoat for his mistakes during breakfast service, took no responsibility on family night and completely crash and burned in fish n chips and tried to evade responsibility again. Ralph was someone who could never admit be was wrong. As foul as Gabriels decision was Ralph wasn't as good as he thought he was
I think what saved Elise that night was that Elise somehow WAS THE BEST PERFORMING RED TEAM MEMBER during charity night, because she actually had one perfect course, when every other course during the entire service for the red team had at least one issue, and Elizabeth easily had the worst performance that night, and her leadership was just horrific in general. Would I eliminate Elizabeth over Elise? Fuck no, but there's actually some explanation here.
@@margarethmichelina5146 To be fair Suzanne survived because her downfall wasn’t extremely hard compared to Van’s downward spiral. Suzanne at least had an okay service at the final 7, plus she was on the blue team. Van struggled previously at the final 7 on the fish station and comes the first black jacket service, he struggles on fish again. Suzanne wasn’t any better that service either but her previous service was okay and because her downward spiral wasn’t extremely atrocious compared to Van. Even though the team wanted Suzanne and Ariel up on the block, take into consideration that Ramsay isn’t exactly stupid and fair enough all 3 of them did deserve to be on the block.
Seems like the chefs who are really good but reserved get booted guys like Adam or Bobby or Van(2x) All got robbed bc they weren’t in bs or wasn’t yelling just to yell. Kanae is prob the biggest robbery in HK history. Heather played it safe and was rewarded. Final note. Don’t get the Elise hate. She was a bratty b**** but she COMMUNICATED. The red team had HORRIBLE communication. Jen was the oldest n showed no leadership. Elise was better. Had Elise was mentally stronger she wins it all.
Elise was One of the worst members of the red team and actively fucked up most of the communication issues on the red team. thats why Season 9 is so hated because someone like her survived for so long despite being one of the worst chefs of her team. that and the show did nothing about it. also the reason why Heather got a Black Jacket was Kanae forgot to remove the shit sack from the shrimp. if she had done that then Heather would have gone home no questions asked
@@tallyikroe2476 I recently rewatched S9. The red team had garbage communication. Like there was none. Elise HAD to talk. Of course it was annoying. But it had to be done. Tht team wasn’t tht strong.
S2 Garrett's elimination was pretty unfair too. He was better than Virginia overall and this was his first time up, but he got eliminated over one raw chicken. Sara's elimination would be considered the worst robbery in the show if she wasn't so unlikable too.
@@KendallClark-te9pf But here's the thing- Garrett didn't serve raw chicken because it was faster. Served Raw showed that him serving raw chicken was an accident that he owned up to right away. The "it's faster" comment was in response to Gordon asking why he used the wrong stock to saute one of the proteins- I think he labeled them incorrectly or something along those lines. In any case though, the editing team spliced the clips together to make it look like Garrett didn't care about serving raw chicken, and for some reason he never tried to set the record straight (or maybe he did, but nobody noticed until Served Raw came out)
Virginia: 23 mistakes - (lettuce split, lettuce took too long, didn't leave the pan on the heat to gain color, needed more sauce, sauce was reducing too much, too much butter in the sauce, doesn't adapt, posture, communication, more tarragon in the sauce, wasn't going to leave it in the frying pan at the pass, it takes time to make the mashed potatoes, thick mashed potatoes, cold mashed potatoes, fire in the frying pan, it almost burned Mary Ann when flambéing, big pan for the peas and small pan for the lettuce, tortellini, served 2 wellingtons unnecessary, don't look Chef Ramsay in the eye, wouldn't leave the sauce in the pan, ilong time with the carrots). Garrett: ELIMINATED - 21 mistakes (too much saffron, didn't season the quail, communication, delay in the chicken, raw chicken, didn't check the temperature of the chicken, delay in the quail, didn't pass the flag, communication, labels on the sauces, it was grays on fire , he didn't turn off the heat, kept answering Ramsay, trying to cook the chicken in the frying pan, burnt salmon, he kept looking at the garnish, he confused duck with wellington, didn't hear the fish, it takes too long to cook the fish, confused ''carrots'' with his name
@@tallyikroe2476 I feel like there's a major difference between intentionally serving dangerously undercooked food vs. accidentally using the wrong stock. (edit: and apparently he didn't even use the wrong stock, he just labeled his pans instead of tasting his sauces, which is even less of an issue.) And in any case, Gordon specifically said he eliminated Garrett over the raw chicken, which once again is pretty interesting considering Virginia also had a history of sending up raw protein.
Hey Flynn! Heres some ideas for future videos!!! What if chefs could choose which finalist to support? (Yeah, would be unbalanced, basically every chef to make it to the final service would choose a chef to support, would it be inbalanced? Yes, would it be silly? Also yes.) 3rd placer rankings. All specific coloured teams ranked (Red, Blue, Black) Maybe some what if videos? Like: What if the S11 probation twist never happened? And was instead replaced with a double elimination. What if cook for your life challenges were introduced earlier? What if all stars had winners and runner-ups? (Realistic returns by the way.) What if [CERTAIN CONTESTANT] wasnt medivaced?
Suzanne had an okay service at the final 7 though on the blue team. It was down to either Sabrina or Van at that point and main you, Sabrina was on a decline since like the final 11 with Van being on a decline since the final 10. Suzanne didn’t decline until like the final 9 or 8, but even then her decline wasn’t as hard enough as the other 2 yet.
@@Randomtv19645 Nice people don’t always make a good chef. Gabe(S2) had to learn the hard way. If you’re coming into the competition, you gotta prove that you’re worthy enough to be his next head chef. Not saying that Sabrina was terrible but she kept putting in more mediocre services as time went on and Ramsay has given her along with Amanda a couple of chances. If you’re not raising to the top anymore then it’s game over for you there. That’s how the competition goes.
I feel like Shayna from s4 didn't deserve to be kicked. She was nominated next to Matt and Rosann who were both kept for drama, while they made way more mistakes. Almost every "Cook for your Life" challenge results in unfair eliminations. Ben's elimination in All Stars is probably the most unfair elimination of the show, since he was first boot and it had nothing to do with his cooking skills.
I feel bad for Ben, it's weird that they never explicitly say they cut him because of his health. They just say he "can't go the distance" and "isn't up for it". I think only Ben himself says that he's newly diabetic and is worried for his health. He definitely should have left before the ceremony, he was definitely just eliminated then to keep Elise and Manda around
Charlie's (RIP) elimination sometimes is considered a robbery because Seth was a donkey, but Charlie was way worse that episode. He even was a bad waiter. Charlie - ELIMINATED - 13 mistakes, 11 service mistakes (too few scallops, not done well enough, risotto took too long, no ham, undercooked, mascarponi, crème, lack of seasoning, said he didn't know how to make risotto, pasta without lobster in the pass Seth - 7 mistakes, 4 service mistakes (didn't know how to open the shell, left half of the scallop, left chef Ramsay worried because he knew so much about his own life, hesitated to answer the chef, pasta without lobster in the pass)
I think you should’ve put Gizzy being eliminated over Scotley in Season 18, since Scotley cheated his way to victory in the “Cook For Your Life” challenge by using dried lentils when he wasn’t supposed to.
Did you forget about ralph's elimination? He was sick, and held his own, and wasnt the original nominee but because gabriel threw him under the bus, he was eliminated because gabriel didnt follow the team nominees
@@cappycap8144 tbf I think the blue team mostly put him up for reasons that didn't really make sense If I remember correctly. that and his elimination ceremony didn't help much either
After seeing this and watching the satisfying elimination video multiple times, I wonder if we’ll get to see a video about the most satisfying eliminations of each season.
It's still disappointing to me that Donya had to suffer such a blow getting booted over Jason, considering one of them had been more consistent than the other throughout S22 up until charity night, where it is totally crucial to show those leadership skills and put them into action. I mean, Jason was obviously kept around longer just for being a villainous personality, still, reality TV at its grandest. Even Adam's elimination in S19 still blows my mind. One would think it would've been enough for him to bounce back from his station, he'd still be around for at least another couple episodes. Alas, considering Marc himself didn't fare much better by any means during that same service and he was also up for elimination, man oh man, that was a pretty low blow if ever I saw one. At last, Vinny in S8, I believed had a better shot as a Black Jacket, compared to Gail, who herself has already become woefully inconsistent before that point. I mean, in fairness, there was weak talent all around between the cast. But, some part of me thought that the whole incident in the second episode with Raj was his undoing. Just a suspicion. Anyway, that episode when the Black Jackets were handed out, at least Vinny finished up service with the Blue Team beforehand. Still, awesome video!
Here are mine Season 1: Chris(Elsie should be going home instead) Season 2: Keith(Virgina should be going home instead) Season 3: Brad(Josh should be going home instead) Season 4: Dominic(Jason should be going home instead) Season 5: Giovani(Andrea should be going home instead) Season 6: Jim(Andy should be going home instead) Season 7: Sibohan(Fran should be going home instead) Season 8: Vinnie(Gail should be going home instead) Season 9: Jennifer(Elise should be going home instead) Season 10: Patrick(Tiffany/Robyn should be going home instead) Season 11: Jessica(Ray should be going home instead) Season 12: Gaurav(Nicole should be going home instead) Season 13: Fernando(Roe should be going home instead) Season 14: Chrissa(Monique should be going home instead) Season 15: Eddie(Jackie should be going home instead) Season 16: Pat(Matt should be going home instead) Season 17: Van(Robyn should be going home instead) Season 18: Scott(Chris should be going home instead) Season 19: Adam(Marc should be going home instead) Season 20: Jay(Alex should be going home instead) Season 21: Mindy(Ileana should be going home instead) Season 22: Leigh(Carmen/Jonathon should be going home instead)
@@luuduonghy659 S1; Maybe S2; Had Keith did better at running the pass then yes S3; Yes S4; Yes S5; No because Giovanni burning Robert’s hand was way too painful of a mistake for Ramsay to look pass and Ramsay cares about safety more than anything so Giovanni was the right choice. S6; Maybe S7; Maybe S8; I would’ve eliminated Gail during service and still eliminate Vinny after service since his last few performances have been terrible. That way only 5 black jackets would’ve been available for this season. S9; Yes S10; More so Tiffany and I agrue Royce too. S11; Yes. Ray was on probation last episode and he had another terrible service so this should’ve been his time to leave. S12; Eliminate both because Gaurav did an unsanitary thing on the line and Nicole literally gave up in the middle of service. S13; Yes. I argue Santos more S14; Nah! Chrissa was pretty clueless and did nothing to help herself that opening night so she was the right choice. S15; Yes S16; Yes S17; Robyn didn’t do anything wrong that night and even Ramsay smelled BS through her being nominated at that time. If anything, Elise or Barbie should’ve been booted over Van. S18; Yes S19; If Kori on the red team while on garnish was communicating with her team and Adam on the blue team while on garnish wasn’t then there’s the problem there. How are we supposed to expect Adam to survive charity night when he couldn’t command his team. S20; While Alex threw 4 people under the bus with his chickengate nonsense, Jay was pretty lost the entire service while on garnish, so Jay was the right choice. S21; I kinda agree but Mindy did needed more confidence in herself so I kinda understand why she got the boot. S22; Oh c’mon, Leigh couldn’t slice a Wellington correctly and mind you she’s in black Jacket. This ain’t opening night for a rookie mistake like that and if Scotley(S18) got eliminated for the same reason, then I think Leigh was definitely the right call.
Giovanni Deserved to go home over Andrea because of him causing a 3rd Degree burn to Robert, Gaurav not only did not take accountability for his fingers. but he even blamed Gordon Ramsay for getting mad over it.......yeah, need I say more with that goober, Chris had lower specs then Scott did before entering the competition, but still preformed much better then Scott. and Scott had a piss poor plea, Carmen was never at risk for going home that night as she didn't make too many fuck ups as with Leigh and Dahmere, also Johnathon could have gone home but he had been very consistent throughout the entire competition. so it really was close between him and Dahmere
1. The fact that Gabriel was ejected right before the black jackets should tell you something about Flynn’s pick for season 12. 2. Vinny’s elimination is definitely one of the most debatable of all time. I mean, yeah he was on the decline, but Gail got kicked out of the kitchen. But then again, if you think about it, Vinny’s elimination may have been karma for what he did throughout the season. So I could see either one of them going home. 3. I hope we see Alison, Hassan, Nikki, and Kanae again at some point. 4. The fact that Flynn couldn’t pick for season 17 is a sign for something. I just don’t know what.
Still hold Sarah (Season 5's Wil) as unfair. The fact that Robert didn't hesitate or meander to say he'd take [Wil's]/Sarah's spot for nomination spoke volumes of how the group had more confidence in her over Seth. But since Ramsay saw a self nomination as weakness vs ownership of mistake we got a different series. Granted, unsure really how much would have changed in the long run but at least Seth wouldn't have molested that poor filet.
Seth was a donkey but didn't had the worse service on first episode. Wil -ELIMINATED- 15 mistakes, 13 service mistakes (appearance looked like he had fallen on the floor, delay in garnish, burnt gnocchi delayed team, delay in taking dish to pass, stood still with a hot pan in his hand, shitty service, needed help in his station of his entire team, more delay in garnish, he lacked will and nominated himself) Seth - 12 mistakes, 6 service mistakes (honey made it too sweet, chef spat it out and said it was the worst thing he had ever tasted, laughed, just peeled carrots and asked a lot of questions during preparation, raw lamb on the pass and badly cuts)
I really wouldn't say Vinnie's elimination was unfair. You have to remember the fact that his waiter performance was an all time bad one trying to control garnishes not coming out so either way he was never going to win after that
Maribel actually asked to leave, but yeah Sara's service was worse. Maribel - ELIMINATED - 7 mistakes - (lack of originality, wasn't doing anything without helping, burned the salmon, delayed delivery of the salmon, confusion at the pass with Mary Ann, raw salmon, teamwork) Sarah -18- mistakes- burnt peppers, didn't put the pan on the heat, put a lamb in a cold pan, started laughing, undercooked lamb 2x, fatty lamb, times, communication, boiled butter in the sauce, 2x cuts of the lamb , little cherry, posture, teamwork, kept moving thlambs, irregular lamb temperatures, took a while to get the salmon, there wasn't a salmon,
I watched your video you posted on UA-cam and I want to give you my opinions on others that should’ve been in the conversation. Season 22: Carmen should’ve gotten sent home numerous times even before black jackets cause she always threw people under the bus to make herself look good. Season 21: Sommer and Dafne were the two weakest chefs left and they somehow got the first two black jackets which was absolutely unfair and on top of that Sakari and Tara who are both better than Sommer and Dafne and yet both got sent home which was unfair. And Alejandro being sent home over dafne in top 3 was also unfair. Season 19: another one I felt was underrated was Declan getting sent home over Mary Lou. To me she was really annoying. Season 18: Mia should’ve went home over roe cause she doesnt admit her mistakes unlike roe. Mia ended up being the villain of season 18. Season 17: another one that wasn’t talked about enough: manda. Yes she did forget the pork on a ticket but she got sent home over Barbie cause why? Ratings. I would’ve sent manda to the blue team and Benjamin to the red team. I didn’t like Benjamin his first time and didn’t like him in all stars. Season 15: Frank should’ve went home over Chad. Chad was on a downward spiral yes but Frank was blaming other for his mistakes and got Jared and manda kicked out of the kitchen. Season 7: Jason getting sent home over autumn. Jason was better than autumn, but again ratings. Season 13: Steve should’ve went home over Katie. Another missed unfair elimination. Steve was basically hated since episode 3 when he was disrespecting Sterling and he and Sterling got into it. I would’ve moved Katie to the blue team and Sterling to the red team.
In s13, I also feel like Sade should’ve been in the finals instead of Bryant. And yea Nick’s elimination was definitely unfair, and I asked on his Q&A video if he’d compete for a 3rd time of given the chance and he said yea so maybe we’ll get to see him again soon lol
Most Satisfying Elimination From Each HK Season: My Thoughts 2. Sara 3. Melissa/Josh 4. Jason 5. Lacey/Seth 6. Suzanne 8. Sabrina/Raj/Russell (Not Winning) 9. Elise 10. Tiffany/Kimmie/Robyn 11. Dan/Jeremy 15. Frank/Jackie 16. Matt/Johnny/Andrew/Gia 17. Elise Again 18. Scotley
My picks 1. Chris 2. Keith 3. Brad 4. Shayna 5. LA 6. Amanda 7. I have no idea 8. Vinny 9. Jennifer 10. Patrick 11. Anthony 12. Rochelle 13. Fernando 14. Allison/Randy 15. Hassan(Justified)/Eddie 16. Aaron/Koop/Devin 17. Van/Nick 18. Gizzy/Kanae 19. Adam 20. Steve 21. Cheyenne 22. Donya If anyone has any questions on my picks let me know
To me an unfair elimination that no one really talks about was Sara in S2, don't get me wrong she was not a good cook and wasn't very likable. But Virginia literally admitted that she doesn't have what it takes to win and had just been terrible all season. If this was a newer season she would have for sure been eliminated, this alongside Chris and Brad's eliminations were why Ramsey began breaking his own rules sometimes in later seasons.
@@05carMagu1re Sara was terrible as well too this season. She wasn’t a team player like for example, at the final 8 she lied about being ready with her food and got Virginia in trouble and I was glad that Virginia got her revenge by sending her home at the final 4. Karma well deserved.
Dana shouldve been at least an honourable mention in the all stars season(17), I get that Nicks was far more unfair but it was Danas first actual bad dinner service and first time up for elimination in 2 seasons. Gordon Ramsey even says that at the end of the episode. She screwed up meats screwing her team over but handled the situation well and somehow Elise made it farther then her.
One I will always hate is Kenneth's from Season 19. Having an elimination challenge before the first service is stupid on its own, but to not inform the chefs that it IS an elimination challenge until they've already cooked the dishes is downright evil. Sure, Kenneth probably wouldn't have made it far anyway, considering he left a whole chunk of cheese in his dish, but to eliminate him before he has a chance to do a service or even defend himself is absolutely unfair.
Personally I think there were some other unfair eliminations: Sterling definitely should’ve stayed over Santos since he, Steve and Aaron literally tried to sabotage their own team, and honestly all three should’ve been sent home at once. There’s really no other unfair elimination from season 16 other than Aron because the blue team only nominated him solely just to save their friends. Emily definitely should’ve gotten a black jacket in young guns and it probably should’ve been a final 6. Jillian should’ve won season 8 since she was one of the very few that was actually good that season and had a good personality. Raneisha should’ve stayed at least one more episode since it was a good service for both kitchens and Brad had already left the competition just minutes earlier. Even Adam’s elimination is the one everyone talks about, I just think Nikki’s was just more unjustifiable
“ When you come into the kitchen and announce that you’re an executive chef you’d expect a little more than when I got from Chris. He’s been telling the world that he has that amount of knowledge, then he should’ve been 10 times better.” “ You’ve got two choices, you run the team or the team runs you and sadly the team ran Keith. If Keith can only lose the attitude underneath all that there’s one talented talented cook.” “ Brad was a hard worker. Unfortunately, he worked with his back rather than his brain. He lacked finesse to become a great chef.” “ Louross was never short on energy. He was just short on cooking ability.” “ At times I thought Jim was sleepwalking, but then I realized he just had no passion and that’s why it was time for him to leave Hell’s Kitchen.” “ Siobhan got pushed around a lot in Hell’s Kitchen, so it was up to me to finally push her out.” “ Jamie’s lack of fightback told me that she’s not ready to be a head chef. What the remaining chefs need to know is that it is not about what you’ve done in the past, it’s what you do here that counts.” “ Brian had a lot of energy and was a funny guy, but after tonight’s performance, I wasn’t laughing and that’s why he has to leave Hell‘s Kitchen.” “ Fernando‘s cooking was adequate, but his leadership was lacking. Being my next head chef requires both.” “ Allison had a strong voice in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she couldn’t talk her way to a black jacket.” “ Eddie couldn’t lead and he certainly couldn’t follow and so it was time to get the fuck out the way.” “ Aziza has four kids at home. I think they need her more than I do. Unless of course they’re hungry.” “ Adam started off the competition strong, but unlike his beard, Adam stopped growing.” “ Steve still has a lot to learn. Unfortunately tonight, he learned that silence in the kitchen isn’t golden, it’s goodbye.” “ Donya had the drive, voice, and was a great cook. But I’m not looking for a great cook, I need a great chef.”
Its bullshit she was nominated for the CFYL Challenge due to everything the red team criticized her for being complete BS. However Once She got in there, her elimination was fair due to trying to take the easy way out by trying to pull a fast one on Gordon with Burnt Chicken. and none of the other contestants made this mistake.
I think what's interesting about these is that with the exception of exactly Nick in all stars, none of these contestants really stood out as potential winners. I've always theorized that Gordon usually has a good idea of who his final 2-3 chefs are gonna be pretty early on, so at that point who gets kept longer outside of those matters less and at that point he and the producers just keep the people who will help get better views.
Most of them, I can agree. Sure, some of them are not really unfair, but of course we need to pick one for the season. However, there are some I disagree. For Season 6, I would say the most unfair elimination is Van. Sure he had a bad night, but Suzanne should have gotten eliminated over Van. Van deserved to make the Top 5. But I do agree that Jim does care. He is just a calm, collected, laid back guy. For Season 8, I still believe that Curtis' elimination is the most unfair elimination. He sucked on the sushi challenge, yet despite knowing this, Chef Ramsay put Curtis on the Sushi station anyways, where of course, didn't work out. And Curtis wasn't nominated. He was set up to lose. It definitely wasn't his fault. If he was put on a different station, he could have done better and would have survived. Yeah, both Gail and Vinny had a bad night in the Final 7, but it was Gail's first time up for elimination, and Vinny did worse than Gail this competition, so it made sense. For Season 9, I can agree that Jaime's elimination was unfair (along with Elise getting the Black Jacket over Elizabeth), but to me, Jennifer's elimination is the most unfair elimination of that season. Sure, Jennifer had a bad night, but Elise was worse (17 dinner service mistakes), and she have been eliminated long ago. Jennifer only got eliminated because Elise "manipulated" Paul and Will. Elise should have gone home, and Jennifer should have made it to the final 3. The reasons I quoted "manipulated" is because there is a chance that Paul and Will did not do it because of Elise. They probably did it because they find Jennifer to be a threat to them and they feel that if they eliminate her now, they would wipe the floor with Elise and Tommy and make it to the final 2. It did work as Tommy got eliminated, Elise got eliminated, and Paul and Will would make it to the finals, with Paul winning it all. For Season 10, I understand why people thought it was unfair for Brian to get eliminated over Robyn, but to me, Brian had a really bad service and did worse than Robyn, so it made sense. However, the most unfair elimination to me was Patrick getting eliminated over Tiffany. Patrick was good in the beginning, but he started to fall as time went on. If you remember the night Patrick got eliminated, it was in the infamous episode where the red team drama was at its peak. The Red team did horrible, they focused on fighting more than completing service (on KIDS NIGHT BY THE WAY!), and got kicked out. For the Blue team, only Patrick and Royce struggled and both were kicked out. But for the rest of the Blue team, they did good, they completed service, and they even finished the Red Team's service. The Blue Team DEFINITELY had a better service than the Red Team, yet for some reason, both teams lost. So not only was it bullshit the the blue team lost, but elimination was even worse. Robyn had an epic plea, and Royce did pretty ok. Patrick, he made a good plea. Not as good as Robyn (and Clemenza), but he showed he cared and wanted to stay. It was definitely believable. But Tiffany,..........she had the worst plea in Hell's Kitchen, saying on a scale of 1-10, she cares like a 9. A 9. Everyone knows that if you are asked that question, you say 10 or higher (Carmen definitely got it right). If you say lower than 10, it shows your full effort isn't in it. In any other elimination, a plea like that would get someone eliminated. Tiffany had the worst plea, Patrick had a good plea. And yet, Patrick would be the one to go home. It was bullshit, and Patrick should have made it to the Top 10 over Tiffany, who was CLEARLY the worst chef that night. There's a reason why Patrick returned to the finals instead of Tiffany. For Season 11, I do agree that Michael's elimination was unfair. Michael should have stayed over Zack. But to me, the most unfair elimination that season was Anthony. Anthony was perfect until that episode. He had one mistake, and he was eliminated over a guy who made numerous mistakes. And it was all because the producers wanted the Season 11 Blue Team to be the worst team in history. It worked as Zack got eliminated, and Jon would become the only male to get a Black Jacket. Anthony should have gotten a Black Jacket, and he will definitely go down as the best chef to never get a Black Jacket. For Season 15, I still believe Hasan's elimination is the most unfair, but I do agree with Eddie's elimination as well. He was good in the beginning (and was definitely the best of the worse in the double elimination night), and event though he struggled the night he got eliminated, it was very minor. They should have either done a fake elimination or a team swap. For Season 16, I don't know about Aziza's elimination. She was definitely a forgettable chef, and I would need to watch that service over to figure it out. But the most unfair elimination that season is definitely Aaron. Aaron did nothing wrong that night, yet he was nominated because of "age and experience". Normally, when someone gets nominated for that, Chef Ramsay would deny it and then roast the team (Don being a perfect example). But somehow, Aaron got eliminated. Johnny should have gotten eliminated that night, especially since he got eliminated 2 services later. Either have a fake elimination or send Aaron to the red team. I know he would have thrived on the red team and he would have done better with a team that believes in him. I know they would rather have him instead of Andrew and Matt. How far he would have gone if he was on the red team, we'll never know. But speaking of Season 16, I would also say that Pat and Koop's elimination was unfair. Matt should have gone home over Pat, especially since Matt had the worst night and Pat only made 1 mistake. 1! And even if Matt stays, at least have the team nominate Genaro instead of Pat. Especially since Genaro would be the next to go. Pat was only eliminated due to "age." They want to get rid of the most experienced and the least experienced, and Pat would definitely go down as the best chef to get eliminated first. As for Koop, he had a bad night, but Paulie did worse, and he was inconsistent. Plus, Koop did well. Plus, Paulie got nominated more than Koop. The only reason why Koop was eliminated was because Paulie threw him under the bus by saying he was smashing chairs in the dorm. Normally, it doesn't matter since Chef Ramsay made it clear in Season 13 that he doesn't care what happens in the dorms, yet somehow, Koop got eliminated. Paulie should have gone home. At least Koop made it back for the finals (instead of Matt) Season 17's elimination is not only the most unfair elimination of the season, but the most unfair elimination in the ENTIRE SHOW! Eliminated because your dishes were judged by executives? EXECUTIVES!! Nick should have gone to the finals, and Nick SHOULD HAVE won. As for Season 22, I can understand why Donya's elimination was unfair. Donya did better than Jason, who was definitely inconsistent. But that night was charity night, and it requires leadership. And if you hear Donya, you barely hear anything. She is usually vocal, but that night, she was like Melissa during service, barely noticeable. Jason was more vocal that night, even though he was the worst chef. To me, I didn't think it was unfair. Sure, I would have preferred Jason to leave over Donya, but why she got eliminated made sense. Also, I didn't think Jason threw Chef Christina under the bus. I think he simply just made a mistake and missed the instructions on the oven.
Fun fact: Jim in his Twitch Stream claimed that he was eliminated because producers wanted him to start drama with Robert, but he said "fuck no" and producers wanted him out for that. Seems like he gave up on the show after viewing this more of a drama show than a cooking show.
If I was Jim I would do the same thing that would just be rigged and unfair the producers just care about views
Wow. Guess Jim had respect and care for Robert and rightfully so.
I wouldn’t be remotely surprised at that
At least bro had integrity and honor. Ngl back then, HK was more focused on drama than talent.
Jim is so underrated.

@@AlessandroChiarelliRamsay ain’t gonna carry someone who makes a painful mistake harming others. I mean there’s a good reason why Michael(S14) was eliminated in the 3rd dinner service.

It could've been a double elimination, but that season had 20 episodes, they needed to strech out more.
Patrick - ELIMINATED - 12 service mistakes (meat without sealing and just boiled, didn't listen to the order and made a mistake when speaking to the chef, undercooked fillet and the steaks were delayed, raw fillet, cooked scared and didn't recover, talked too much and didn't cook enough)

Most unfair elimination in season 1 was Carolann. She was a kitchen manager of a multi-million dollar restaurant in NYC before Hells Kitchen. She was one of few people who up to that point showed some competency in the kitchen. Wendy thought cold water boils faster than hot water. Jeff admitted he had never worked a line before. Carolann got eliminated for not bailing out more incompetent people on their stations.
Her elimination struck me as odd too. I can only imagine she left because Dewberry had a more interesting personality, but Carolann was one of the few competent chefs there and I doubt she was even aware that she was expected to jump in when other stations were sinking
Back then Ramsay played by the rules so he picked out of the two nominees. Dewberry made for better TV so Carolann got ousted. Still unfair
I’m glad I’m not alone about Eddie. The dude messed up one garnish and got eliminated. He seemed like such a nice guy, too. Everybody always rides how Hassan was robbed, but he wasn’t. He was supposed to United and lead the red team and failed to do so.

Chris going home on Season 1 was because Ramsay was having none of it and he seem to have a target on his back :
- Since the signature dish and Chris mentioned about “Executive chef” , Gordon went ballistic on him
- Mentioned that Chris sit his ass down all day and on the line he is slow
- Then Chris was late on the first morning challenge and Ramsay was having none of it and give him as much shit as possible
- You could say that over the show , Chris did got somewhat better but Ramsay still have a personal problem with him
- Also we only saw what was on camera and on film. We never saw what happened behind scenes
- Not only that , when Red team lost two services in a row , Ramsay mentioned that “red tean you guys shrink” , and put Micheal to that team , and mentioned the lack of leadership of Chris
- You add that Micheal was doing a better job in the red team and was carrying it , pretty much make Ramsay on “okay I am gonna kick out that plank anytime”
- On the very last service on Micheal vs Ralph , Chris refused to comeback for the final

honestly, i don't find curtis's elimination unfair. he was put on the sushi station to see if he could bounce back after the challenge, but he didn't, and he was the main reason why the kitchen dragged that night, leading to his elimination
I know Chris from S12 had a similar situation. He didn’t do well on the pizza challenge but was given another chance to bounce back but failed miserably
This seems to be a recurring complaint from most HK fans. Treating Curtis like he was wronged or a victim of an unfair elimination when in reality he had been bad the entire competition, failed miserably in the Sushi challenge and then failed to bounce back from his challenge failure during service and sunk his team. HK is all about bouncing back and learning from your mistakes. You fail to do that then you deserve to go home and Curtis definitely deserved to be eliminated.
Curtis was a train wreck he wasn’t a chef he was just about a cook. Curtis needs to look for a career change!
@@ryanjohansson8950 Perhaps, but there is absolutely no chance on planet Earth that Curtis, without nomination, should have gone home before Raj. PERIOD.

In fact, you are putting the guy who continually pronounced it "SUCHI" on the sushi station, then you absolutely deserve to lose and fail.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Dan being eliminated over Barrett in s11 deserves a mention. Barrett 100% deserved to go home after making two fatal mistakes in two back to back services.
And as immature as Dan could be, he didn't make nearly as much mistakes in said back to back services.
@@Fulgore2005 I don't give a damn about Dan, he ruined Mary's final service, what a punk
Raymond and Barret Deserved to be eliminated Over Dan. Dan had 1 Bad Service which was mostly not even his fault to begin with. Past that he had 1 insanely good service, and 1 service where he only made 1 fuck up. and he went home
I'm suspecting the producers saw the "worst blue team of all time' tagline of the season and Dan was threatening that from happening. So Dan who had wayy too much attitude to ever win, just got sacked off instead of 2 chefs that were not only much worse then dan. But while on probation.

Right. Barrett and Ray dodged a massive bullet.
To be fair, Louross was the main reason why the blue team lost that service at the final 7 as a couple tables walked out on his mistakes on the meat station so I kinda understand why Petrozza picked him over Jen. Not to mention he was on a downward spiral at that point.
Yeah, I didn’t like it, but I definitely understand and respect his decision
I think both teams shoulda lost and Matt should’ve gone instead
@@bobbynewman9321 Well the only reason why Matt survived was because none of his tables walked out after his screw ups on both stations and both Christina and Corey managed to serve all their customers. The blue team had a few tables walked out and that’s mainly due to Louross making tons of mistakes on the meat station so pretty much there’s a good reason why the blue team lost that service and that’s mainly thanks to Louross. To add on, Matt was on the winning team this time around and Ramsay wouldn’t break that rule until the next season with Carol(S5). So between Jen and Louross, I think Louross was the best choice at that point.
@@bobbynewman9321 If anything, I would’ve eliminated Matt during that service and guess what, Louross would still be getting the boot after that service, so in that case, just give out 5 Black Jackets instead that season.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think that Donya's elimination was as bad as people say that it was. Donya was on thin ice leading up to that nomination after she struggled to say that Sandra was the weakest chef on the red team during the final 10 and Chef Ramsay let her know that. Donya was a better cook than Jason but her lack of confidence during the tail end of her run and her failures to delegate her own course during charity night doesn't really translate to being a head chef, which is what caused her to be eliminated.
@@nevenpatrk9661 This here. Not to mention she had a terrible performance at the final 9 but gets lucky due to Atoye on the blue team being much worse than her and if it wasn’t for Atoye doing poorly that night, then Donya would’ve gotten the boot there instead.
Carmen was the weakest chef after Atoye Left the red team, However Carmen had a much better Social Game then Donya (not to say hers was bad). So She would Scape by most eliminations. The Final 10 was just Donya having too much integrity
@@rayewaddell9668Jason should’ve gotten eliminated ahead of Atoye
@@tallyikroe2476 “Carmen was the weakest person on the red team after Atoye went to the blue team.”
Yet you still had Sandra who was way more inconsistent in her run and despite her last service being good up until the end, she kept screwing up over and over again as the competition went on and was up on the block numerous times. Not saying she was a bad chef but she just didn’t fit well enough with this talented cast to begin with and I think if Sandra had more confidence in herself and was more consistent, then I could see her go further but in that talented season, I think 10th place was fair enough for her. Although I think Ramsay should’ve handled the situation better by making it a joint win on both teams and still have both come up with 1 nominee each.
@@bobbynewman9321 Atoye at the final 9 was still worse than Jason unfortunately so her elimination was justified and I think 9th place was fair enough for Atoye. While I can agree that Jason should’ve left on charity night, it sure didn’t help the fact that Donya was nominated for 3 mediocre performances in a row halfway in the season so I kinda understand why Donya was cut short.
Getting sent for a bad grilled cheese when GR cant make one himself is madness. I love GR and bunge his videos daily but that got me 😅
For season 10, I would go Patrick as I genuinely think if Tiffany goes home because of like a 9, Brian gets a black jacket as Royce goes at 10, Robyn at 9 without Tiffany, Kimmie at 8, and Patrick at 7 unless another meltdown from Patrick. And I know Patrick was a bit more inconsistent and had a meltdown that very episode, Tiffany had way less passion than him and wasn’t good by any means. Besides, Patrick was picked quite early for the final dinner service while Tiffany wasn’t there at all.
Despite being pissed about Donya's elimination, it was worth it to see Jason be the only one to get screwed out of a black jacket.
Jason should have had an automatic elimination as soon as he blammed Christina wilson for his mistake HOW ON EARTH DID JASON WHO BLAMMED A SOUS CHEF SURVIVE!
and what's better is Gordon told No one he was doing this. which lead the staff that were responsible for escorting the eliminated contestants to the Hotel to be really fucking confused as to where the other chef was at
I always thought Kanae got screwed.
You know Donya's elimination was unfair when even Johnathan at the beginning of the next episode was mad about it and they weren't even on the same team.
14:43 I agree with this elimination being totally unfair because Jason blaming a Sous Chef for his incompetence?! Blow me!
I wish we still had menu night, just to see Jason flop
Something he still claims to have happened this day, it also could have been a miss-communication or Jason Misheard what Christina Said, But idk
Before judging what constitutes an unfair elimination I think most viewers need to realize that this show isn’t just about who has the best services or who cooks the best dishes. They are competing for a head chef job to run a kitchen, not a line cook job. There are way more intangibles like leadership, creativity, communication, work ethic, composure, confidence and the ability to bounce back from your mistakes that are needed to have success. Just because someone is decent in service doesn’t mean it’s automatically an unfair elimination if they are lacking or not showing any growth or improvement in other critical areas necessary.
It sounds like you're trying to convince the majority to agree with you and your way of thinking. I think you're in the minority for a reason, and your efforts to convince me that your elimination opinions are better than mine are going to fail miserably.
THANKS YOU
@@jraymond1988 except he's actually completely correct though
@@tallyikroe2476Realistically, most of this show should be played through services. Challenges rarely get people eliminated, there are tons of chefs with bad challenge performances that win (Dave was garbage in them yet won). Leadership can be something that could sway an elimination but most of the cooks unfairly saved in the instances of this video were bad leaders. Especially Josh and Santos who did bad in the charity service
@@Someone-tuf while its the main focus of the show. if you're not creative in your dishes then you have no shot at winning unless there were specific circumstances that elevate you to the top. in daves case his injury propelled him to the top as Gordon was usually really cautious on chefs getting an injury because he has never seen anyone fight through the pain. especially one as severe as him missing an arm.
Video Idea: a ranking of every chef who was the last non black jacket eliminated, like Vinny, Brian, Kanae, Nicky, etc

I remember watching Donya’s elimination live, and I was beyond pissed off. Just seeing how abysmal Jason’s performance was, I was 1000% positive he would be going home. Yea, Donya didn’t have a stellar night either, but it was arguably less bad than Jason’s and she had much more highs than him. Even to this day, it still kinda bothers me.

@@d_xsti3811 aight cool. I wasn't sure if you were aware of Season 22 outside of hells kitchens or not
I feel like the main reason why Donya was eliminated is because when she was nominated next to Sandra she couldn't answer who was the weakest chef so maybe that's what ultimately gave her the axe? But then again Jason's performance in the charity service was abysmall so I don't know 😭
@@Kitas_Nissan_Driver I think thats probably why, In this new era of hells kitchens, a lot of the chefs had too much integrity to pull some back handed tricks. the downside is for some reason, none of them wanted to outright say they were better then someone. despite the fact you have to in order to survive elimination.
For me the most unfair eliminations from season 11 would have to be Jessica and Anthony.
The red team even mentioned in episode 7 that it wouldn’t have been fair to nominate Jessica if they didn’t nominate Susan, yet she still got the boot while Susan outstayed her welcome.
And Anthony, while he was beginning to lose his confidence and really messed up in episodes 14 and 15, the fact that he left before Zach is still one of the biggest robberies in HK history.
Susan is one of the worst black jackets ever. Anthony definitely deserved it over her.
Anthony's was completely fair considering his occupation was pitiful considering everything hes done in the competition up to that point. I would say Dan was a worse elimination due to the 3 times they were nominated. were because of the following:
1. Something that was not even his fault at all other then attitude
2. a completely bullshit nomination
3. Sterling levels of BS reasons to be nominated
I have a theory that Chef Ramsay actually picks the finalists early on, while still cutting out the fat, leading to unfair eliminations of people he already knows don't deserve to win. For example, he probably decided that the only people capable of winning Season 9 were Will and Paul, leading him to base most of the eliminations on keeping those two around while maximizing entertainment. I am aware of some flaws with this theory (Josh versus Alison in Season 14), but it just makes sense to me.

Keith: I still think about this elimination constantly on why the hell it even happened.
Brad: Similar to Chris honestly.
Louross: I mean, he deserved a black jacket over Matt definitely. This elimination confuses me because he got no last words, and then there was the useless team swap again.
Giovanni: I personally don't really see what was so unjustified about it because it seemed like he kind of gave up after the whole "dickface" moment.
Jim: I think the real Jim has talked about what happened on why he got sent home. Still a pretty confusing one.
Siobhan: Consider she had been nominated I believe 3 times in a row at that point, vs Fran's 5th overall, I constantly flip back and forth who deserved to go home more, but I don't really think it was that unfair as it was pretty obvious whoever survived was gonna be next.
Vinny: If you watch the entire season, Vinny pisses off Ramsay NUMEROUS times, so I feel like him going home before the black jackets was understandable. Not entirely justified, but understandable.
Jamie: The look on the blue team members says it all. HOW.
Brian: Yeah I was annoyed that he didn't get a black jacket, but he definitely gave up during service, which is a big no-no
Michael: I legit keep forgetting about this one, because it's so similar to Anthony's, and Michael was far less memorable, but yeah, Zach should've gone home at that point.
Richard: Richard definitely did deserve to survive over Gabriel, but I'm kind of glad in hindsight Gabriel lasted a bit longer because he had an amazing service, followed by an ejection.
Fernando: I still don't completely understand why the show wanted to keep Santos around, considering he was so forgettable, he didn't get any sort of retrospective despite getting a black jacket. Fernando wasn't memorable either, but still.
Alison: I think Randy's elimination was more bs, for similar reasons to Fernando's. Josh simply didn't belong in the black jackets.
Eddie: I keep forgetting about this one, but yeah, what he did worse than everyone else, I do not know.

Nick: I'm still extremely pissed about this one. He's literally one of my favorite contestants of all time.
Kanae: It's a prime example of the major flaw of the black jacket challenges. Plus, she had 3 pretty solid dishes, and yet she went home.
Adam: NGL, getting my rage back of people going home when they shouldn't or people not going home when they should made me realize how much I missed the show when Season 19 came out.
Steve: I mean, Steve had shown that he wasn't exactly the most talkative, but I think he should've at least gotten a chance at the past over Brynn, who clearly wasn't emotionally mature enough to run a brigade yet.
Mindy: I was just baffled by this. The entire time, I was like "this is when Ileana goes home." aaaaand NOPE.
Donya: In hindsight, this elimination made a bit more sense with the whole "everyone except Jason got a black jacket" moment, but I was beyond infuriated that Jason survived because the entire episode made it look like he was a goner with the just dreadful charity night service.
Fernando: The problem was not Santos on his first time up for elimination, but Roe or Sterling should have gone home after their third and fourth time respectively on the block:
Mindy: Ileana was nominated just for the first time and was a SECOND nominee. Mindy was nominated twice and had three bad services in a row.

Just finished S19 and I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say Adam's elimination was justified. They foreshadowed Adam was in danger when the blue team commented that Adam was coasting by during service, and not giving 100 percent effort because he was so sure he would make it to the black jackets no matter what. Chef Ramsey gave Adam one final chance to stand out and he didn't.
Nope. Adam's elimination was still bullshit. He had 1 bad night and he got eliminated over someone who had been inconsistent throughout the entire competition while that night was his only bad night with literally so many highs that if it were him vs Declan then Declan would have gone home EASILY
I agree not only that in the elimination debate Cody said to Adam that he wasn't leading he was just responding whereas Declan called him an island
@@tallyikroe2476 Well if Kori on the red team was leading and commanding her team while on the garnish station and Adam on the blue team wasn’t then there’s the problem. Kori was doing what she was supposed to be doing while on that station. If you’re on garnish, then you have to be a few seconds ahead of everyone else. Not saying Adam is a terrible chef but how in the world is he gonna win his own restaurant. I mean with that issue, I can’t see him surviving charity night if the purpose is to communicate as well as owning your course. Communication is another important part in restaurants too if you want things to go well.
@@rayewaddell9668 Still., I think he should have been given another chance on thin ice while Marc did not ass badly but had been on literal thin ice throughout the entire competition with not only Gordon, but his team as well.
Jamie was also fairly eliminated since Carrie and Elise both had less bad services.
Jamie - ELIMINATED- 24 mistakes, 22 service mistakes (whipped cream separating, negative review, plate with hair on the pass, said it wasn't on the plate implying that the chef planted the hair, doesn't seem to care, gave up, communication, delay in garnish confusion, burn zucchinion the pass, decadent performance makes chef worried because he doesn't receive any response and can't continue, instead of improving it got worse and worse, lack of fight showed that it's not ready because it's not the what you did in the past, but what you do now that counts)
Elise - 22 mistakes, 15 service mistakes (presentation, team chose her dish as the worst, stood by with crossed arms,, too heavy desert, too much vinegar, dish was worth zero and her team did the right thing by not evaluating it, communication, vegetarian pasta with lobster on the pass, don't need a black jacket but a straightjacket, oysters were overcooked on the pass and was kicked out of the kitchen, lack of control in station,, lack of concentration and lack of respect)
Carrie - 13 mistakes, 8 service mistakes (appearance, very sweet, lack of balance, negative reviews, communication, burnt fish on pass, said she didn't see it, was kicked from the kitchen, told not to be kicked and tried to argue with the chef, arrogance)
Elise could have gone home as well... Not only it was her third time up for elimination, but Jamie was not an original nominee as well and she didn't get kicked out
yeah no, Jamies elimination was still bullshit. the only reason she was eliminated was to keep the 2 drama starters that were significantly worse then Jamie in all areas around + Krupa
You kinda exaggerate these really hard. Especially on whoever gets eliminated. But anyways, this was Jamie's first bad service while Elise and Carrie were close to elimination many times
@@Someone-tuf he is known for doing this. Probably his stupidest one that I didn't realize sooner was saying that Jim got eliminated because of statistics that literally does not matter as if what Jim says is true. it would circumvent the statistical reasoning completely. and even including the statistical value. Andy would have been eliminated
@@Someone-tuf Jamie showed in that service she didnt care as much as Elise and Carrie and that's why she got eliminated
The most annoying thing about Elise is that up to the black jackets, while she had plenty of bad moments, she didn’t have any flat out awful services. She deserved to stay over Gina, Krupa, Carrie, and Jamie, and while it’s annoying she got a black jacket, it’s somewhat understandable since Elizabeth showed signs of giving up. It makes the Jennifer thing SO much more annoying because the one time Elise definitely deserved to go home, she stayed
Idea: rate all of the chefs who just missed a black jacket
Finally, some mentioned Louross! He really deserved to make it to black jackets. He had so much energy and fight. I also found it strange that his elimination is the only one (save for mid-service elims) that he didn't have an exit interview. Did he just decline to do one?
I'm still bitter about Hassan's elimination. It actually made the rest of S15 unwatchable for me. I was really unhappy about Heather getting a black jacket over Kanae too. I don't think there was a single person in the black jacket lounge that was excited to see Heather walk through the door haha.
What made Hassan entertaining? Lmao
Season 8 Vinny sunk his team that night, and he was already on a downward spiral.
Watching the raw service cuts from Season 2 services, I really changed my opinion on the unfairness of Virginia over Keith. Yes, Virginia was crap - but Keith really wasn't all that great (Heather was so head-and-shoulders above everyone that season, it was completely obvious by episode 2 who would win). He had a terrible attitude all season and more mistakes than the broadcast edit showed. He was a competent line cook (which is a step up from Virginia, of course) when he cared and was focused, which wasn't really all that often. And the broadcast version of his elimination episode shows him being bad running the kitchen, but it really sells short how abysmal he was - Virginia was nothing special on that and she was clearly better than him. All told it was a shocking elimination from the broadcast, but from the raw, it's totally defensible. Especially since Heather was clearly going to crush either of them anyway.
All that to say, we only see a small portion of what happens during the service. There is so much that gets cut from two kitchens running for 3-ish hours each to fit into a 15-20 minute segment. Some of these unfair ones would probably be entirely justifiable if we could see a more full cut.
Fully agree
And finally, let's compare Steve and Brynn's services in that episode.
Steve - ELIMINATED- 19 mistakes, 12 service mistakes (puree, white plate, could have had more oranges, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, took too long to put the wellingtons in the oven, didn't answer chef and didn't look him in the face, lack of voice, overcooked wellingtons in the pass, very quiet and recurrence of not communicating with his team, doesn't seem to care, admitted that he doesn't know how to change and said he expects chef to teach him, learned that silence in the kitchen is goodbye )
Brynn - 13 mistakes, 10 service mistakes (white plate, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, lack of composure, got the order wrong, lack of focus, said there was a wellington in the order, didn't answer chef, looks like she panicked , lack of voice, anxiety got in the way, lack of confidence)
Maybe if Steve's plea wasn't pathetic by his standards (he gave both the best and worst pleas of that season) he woul'dve stayed.
He still had more mistakes than Brynn so it made sense for him to go home
@@AlessandroChiarelli I agree
I honestly thought that Sam had the worst plea of the season
Honestly the most unfair thing about Louross’s elimination is that he got booted over Matty
@@bluevegito-6979 Luckily for Matt, he was on the winning team at that time. I can only assume that Ramsay eliminated Carol(S5) off the winning team the next season due to how atrocious both Josh(S3) and Matt(S4) in their own runs and I guess Ramsay regretted not eliminating Josh at the final 6 or Matt off the winning team at the final 7.
I always felt Brad went home because he allowed himself to be put up; like he bought Josh’s stupid line about being a “whipping boy” and seemed to think he would be safe over Bonnie if he went up, but he just seemed he got what he deserved by not being willing to make the obvious choice and put Josh up.
I also disagree with Louross being better than Jen, but he definitely was better than Matt. Jen is a bitch but was a solid cook in season 4
With Brad when you delve into the details it makes total sense because he took control of the menu for the final 6 dinner service which was Red menu v Blue Menu. The 3 dishes the blue team put up were all Brad's and soup dish he put up got sent back by JP. Also he wasnt a team player because he didn't help Josh with the lamb dish that was his design.
chef ramsay LITERALLY selected Nick first to move on and compete in the finally, meaning he saw so much in him. Like he was the most improved chef that season. Ill say this every damn time if I have to: Nick deserves so much better. s17 is so unwatchable BECAUSE of this outcome (and my dislike of the red team). white men in suits should NEVER be allowed to judge food again unless they are actually chefs.
NICK WON IN MY HEART. ITS SO UNFAIR HE LOST.
yeah that elimination was a trainwreck, While I personally think Michelle winning isn't a bad outcome, the fact that she won with nick being screwed out of an elimination due to someone I personally believing was a bit homophobic and was not eligible to judge the chefs. period. was pretty insulting
@@tallyikroe2476which is why Ransay made sure any judges from there on were legit Chefs
Nick underperformed in F3. Cope.
@@tallyikroe2476 The old gay card when there's no evidence of that, classic.
@@pfelipens8522 Did you magically forget what program they are on?
Series 11 I liked Mary a lot but John should have won this series. Without a doubt.
I think for s4, Bobby going over Jen was the most unfair, outsideof night 1, Bobby did barely anything wrong and was awesome all season and then Ramsay took him out over Jen of all people who sucked in all 3 jacket colours
Honestly, I think something that makes a lot of fans view Nick's elimination even more negatively than some, is not only that it was really only done to ensure Michelle would 100% win the season, but because of the whole rumour surrounding it:
Basically, Nick being an openly gay contestant led to many people believing his elimination was purposely done, because Mark Frissora was homophobic, and therefore did not want a member of the LGTBQ community being a head chef.
I totally agree that Mindy’s elimination was so unfair! She deserved to stay a little longer!
I agree 100% Mindy wasn’t one of the strongest and she was lacking confidence, but Ileana definitely should’ve left instead given her rough performance on the meat station.
Sometimes eliminations happen because of a split decision to put the heat on someone. and then theres mindy where Cheyenne legally could not make an alliance with her. making what happened all the more painful
There are some picks that I don't agree and also could be addition;
Season 6: Van getting eliminated over Suzanne because Suzanne constanly making mistakes, being too cocky, arrogant and snubs and yeah, Van despite his hype personality can be a douche too sometimes, remember when he argued with JP?
Season 9: Besides Jamie and Jennifer who lost to Elise, Elizabeth also getting screwed up on Black Jacket round as she missed her chance to get Black Jacket over Elise. But then again, she screwed on the reunion challenge for always being on Lalaland and she took the word "dumb blonde" to whole other level. And Elise is good for TV
Season 10: Yeah, Brian not getting Black Jacket over Robyn is fair enough but don't forget that Patrick got eliminated over Tiffany, Robyn, and Royce. Robyn and Royce definetly would go back in line but if I was Ramsay, I would definetly eliminated Tiffany as she was not caring to make pizza as she hated kids, argued with Barbie in front of Ramsay on dinner service and has the worst pathetic plea ever, "Like a 9...."
Patrick deserved another chance.
Season 12: Besides Richard, Ralph also getting screwed up by Gabriel when Gabriel threw him under the bus to nominate him. Ralph has more potential than Gabriel.
Season 16: Koop, Wendy and Devin could stay over Paulie if Paulie didn't snitch to Ramsay over Koop breaking a chair, Wendy and Devin also didn't make mistakes but whatever, Paulie needed to be the last douchebag of Season 16 to stay. I prefer Andrew to get Black Jacket over Paulie to see if his relationship with Heather effect him on Black Jacket round.
Season 20: Morgana over Payton. Payton is absolutely terrible cook from Blue Team and also a terrible cook on Red Team. Morgana is a dominant chef but too bad her voice is not loud enough.
Season 12 Ralph was hiding throughout the season, made Demarco a scapegoat for his mistakes during breakfast service, took no responsibility on family night and completely crash and burned in fish n chips and tried to evade responsibility again. Ralph was someone who could never admit be was wrong. As foul as Gabriels decision was Ralph wasn't as good as he thought he was
I think what saved Elise that night was that Elise somehow WAS THE BEST PERFORMING RED TEAM MEMBER during charity night, because she actually had one perfect course, when every other course during the entire service for the red team had at least one issue, and Elizabeth easily had the worst performance that night, and her leadership was just horrific in general. Would I eliminate Elizabeth over Elise? Fuck no, but there's actually some explanation here.
@@margarethmichelina5146 To be fair Suzanne survived because her downfall wasn’t extremely hard compared to Van’s downward spiral. Suzanne at least had an okay service at the final 7, plus she was on the blue team. Van struggled previously at the final 7 on the fish station and comes the first black jacket service, he struggles on fish again. Suzanne wasn’t any better that service either but her previous service was okay and because her downward spiral wasn’t extremely atrocious compared to Van. Even though the team wanted Suzanne and Ariel up on the block, take into consideration that Ramsay isn’t exactly stupid and fair enough all 3 of them did deserve to be on the block.
Seems like the chefs who are really good but reserved get booted guys like Adam or Bobby or Van(2x) All got robbed bc they weren’t in bs or wasn’t yelling just to yell. Kanae is prob the biggest robbery in HK history. Heather played it safe and was rewarded. Final note. Don’t get the Elise hate. She was a bratty b**** but she COMMUNICATED. The red team had HORRIBLE communication. Jen was the oldest n showed no leadership. Elise was better. Had Elise was mentally stronger she wins it all.
Elise was One of the worst members of the red team and actively fucked up most of the communication issues on the red team. thats why Season 9 is so hated because someone like her survived for so long despite being one of the worst chefs of her team. that and the show did nothing about it.
also the reason why Heather got a Black Jacket was Kanae forgot to remove the shit sack from the shrimp. if she had done that then Heather would have gone home no questions asked
@@tallyikroe2476 I recently rewatched S9. The red team had garbage communication. Like there was none. Elise HAD to talk. Of course it was annoying. But it had to be done. Tht team wasn’t tht strong.
S2 Garrett's elimination was pretty unfair too. He was better than Virginia overall and this was his first time up, but he got eliminated over one raw chicken.
Sara's elimination would be considered the worst robbery in the show if she wasn't so unlikable too.
I have to disagree, serving raw chicken because “it’s faster” is such a lazy excuse
@@KendallClark-te9pf But here's the thing- Garrett didn't serve raw chicken because it was faster. Served Raw showed that him serving raw chicken was an accident that he owned up to right away. The "it's faster" comment was in response to Gordon asking why he used the wrong stock to saute one of the proteins- I think he labeled them incorrectly or something along those lines.
In any case though, the editing team spliced the clips together to make it look like Garrett didn't care about serving raw chicken, and for some reason he never tried to set the record straight (or maybe he did, but nobody noticed until Served Raw came out)
@@Commenter839 I mean that only changes a little. the fact still stands that his reasoning was beyond pathetic
Virginia: 23 mistakes - (lettuce split, lettuce took too long, didn't leave the pan on the heat to gain color, needed more sauce, sauce was reducing too much, too much butter in the sauce, doesn't adapt, posture, communication, more tarragon in the sauce, wasn't going to leave it in the frying pan at the pass, it takes time to make the mashed potatoes, thick mashed potatoes, cold mashed potatoes, fire in the frying pan, it almost burned Mary Ann when flambéing, big pan for the peas and small pan for the lettuce, tortellini, served 2 wellingtons unnecessary, don't look Chef Ramsay in the eye, wouldn't leave the sauce in the pan, ilong time with the carrots).
Garrett: ELIMINATED - 21 mistakes (too much saffron, didn't season the quail, communication, delay in the chicken, raw chicken, didn't check the temperature of the chicken, delay in the quail, didn't pass the flag, communication, labels on the sauces, it was grays on fire , he didn't turn off the heat, kept answering Ramsay, trying to cook the chicken in the frying pan, burnt salmon, he kept looking at the garnish, he confused duck with wellington, didn't hear the fish, it takes too long to cook the fish, confused ''carrots'' with his name
@@tallyikroe2476 I feel like there's a major difference between intentionally serving dangerously undercooked food vs. accidentally using the wrong stock. (edit: and apparently he didn't even use the wrong stock, he just labeled his pans instead of tasting his sauces, which is even less of an issue.) And in any case, Gordon specifically said he eliminated Garrett over the raw chicken, which once again is pretty interesting considering Virginia also had a history of sending up raw protein.
Hey Flynn! Heres some ideas for future videos!!!
What if chefs could choose which finalist to support? (Yeah, would be unbalanced, basically every chef to make it to the final service would choose a chef to support, would it be inbalanced? Yes, would it be silly? Also yes.)
3rd placer rankings.
All specific coloured teams ranked (Red, Blue, Black)
Maybe some what if videos? Like:
What if the S11 probation twist never happened? And was instead replaced with a double elimination.
What if cook for your life challenges were introduced earlier?
What if all stars had winners and runner-ups? (Realistic returns by the way.)
What if [CERTAIN CONTESTANT] wasnt medivaced?
It's clear that Gordon Ramsay is sabotage contentions, even though he clearly says to himself. That he never ever sabotage.
S6 Suzanne Should’ve gone home instead of Sabrina
Suzanne had an okay service at the final 7 though on the blue team. It was down to either Sabrina or Van at that point and main you, Sabrina was on a decline since like the final 11 with Van being on a decline since the final 10. Suzanne didn’t decline until like the final 9 or 8, but even then her decline wasn’t as hard enough as the other 2 yet.
@@rayewaddell9668 Andy should’ve gone home earlier than Robert
Sabrina wasnt that good
@@B9TL205 Ik but she was a nice chef in the red team including Amanda
@@Randomtv19645 Nice people don’t always make a good chef. Gabe(S2) had to learn the hard way. If you’re coming into the competition, you gotta prove that you’re worthy enough to be his next head chef. Not saying that Sabrina was terrible but she kept putting in more mediocre services as time went on and Ramsay has given her along with Amanda a couple of chances. If you’re not raising to the top anymore then it’s game over for you there. That’s how the competition goes.
I feel like Shayna from s4 didn't deserve to be kicked. She was nominated next to Matt and Rosann who were both kept for drama, while they made way more mistakes.
Almost every "Cook for your Life" challenge results in unfair eliminations.
Ben's elimination in All Stars is probably the most unfair elimination of the show, since he was first boot and it had nothing to do with his cooking skills.
I feel bad for Ben, it's weird that they never explicitly say they cut him because of his health. They just say he "can't go the distance" and "isn't up for it". I think only Ben himself says that he's newly diabetic and is worried for his health. He definitely should have left before the ceremony, he was definitely just eliminated then to keep Elise and Manda around
Charlie's (RIP) elimination sometimes is considered a robbery because Seth was a donkey, but Charlie was way worse that episode. He even was a bad waiter.
Charlie - ELIMINATED - 13 mistakes, 11 service mistakes (too few scallops, not done well enough, risotto took too long, no ham, undercooked, mascarponi, crème, lack of seasoning, said he didn't know how to make risotto, pasta without lobster in the pass
Seth - 7 mistakes, 4 service mistakes (didn't know how to open the shell, left half of the scallop, left chef Ramsay worried because he knew so much about his own life, hesitated to answer the chef, pasta without lobster in the pass)
A lot of people wanted Seth gone but didn't notice Charlie did far worse
I think you should’ve put Gizzy being eliminated over Scotley in Season 18, since Scotley cheated his way to victory in the “Cook For Your Life” challenge by using dried lentils when he wasn’t supposed to.
Did you forget about ralph's elimination? He was sick, and held his own, and wasnt the original nominee but because gabriel threw him under the bus, he was eliminated because gabriel didnt follow the team nominees
I think the reason why he was eliminated was because he laughed at Gordon during the elimination ceremony.
@@tallyikroe2476 still, gabriel snaked his way into ralphs nomination
@@cappycap8144 tbf I think the blue team mostly put him up for reasons that didn't really make sense If I remember correctly. that and his elimination ceremony didn't help much either
The fact that Carrie and Elise and the Blue team was shock that Jamie got Eliminated shows how shocking and unfair that elimination was
After seeing this and watching the satisfying elimination video multiple times, I wonder if we’ll get to see a video about the most satisfying eliminations of each season.
Only one person has the pleasure or displeasure some might say of featuring twice lol
i'm guessing tifanny and elise would be there.
It's still disappointing to me that Donya had to suffer such a blow getting booted over Jason, considering one of them had been more consistent than the other throughout S22 up until charity night, where it is totally crucial to show those leadership skills and put them into action. I mean, Jason was obviously kept around longer just for being a villainous personality, still, reality TV at its grandest.
Even Adam's elimination in S19 still blows my mind. One would think it would've been enough for him to bounce back from his station, he'd still be around for at least another couple episodes. Alas, considering Marc himself didn't fare much better by any means during that same service and he was also up for elimination, man oh man, that was a pretty low blow if ever I saw one.
At last, Vinny in S8, I believed had a better shot as a Black Jacket, compared to Gail, who herself has already become woefully inconsistent before that point. I mean, in fairness, there was weak talent all around between the cast. But, some part of me thought that the whole incident in the second episode with Raj was his undoing. Just a suspicion. Anyway, that episode when the Black Jackets were handed out, at least Vinny finished up service with the Blue Team beforehand.
Still, awesome video!
Here are mine
Season 1: Chris(Elsie should be going home instead)
Season 2: Keith(Virgina should be going home instead)
Season 3: Brad(Josh should be going home instead)
Season 4: Dominic(Jason should be going home instead)
Season 5: Giovani(Andrea should be going home instead)

S1; Maybe
S2; Had Keith did better at running the pass then yes
S3; Yes
S4; Yes
S5; No because Giovanni burning Robert’s hand was way too painful of a mistake for Ramsay to look pass and Ramsay cares about safety more than anything so Giovanni was the right choice.
S6; Maybe
S7; Maybe
S8; I would’ve eliminated Gail during service and still eliminate Vinny after service since his last few performances have been terrible. That way only 5 black jackets would’ve been available for this season.
S9; Yes
S10; More so Tiffany and I agrue Royce too.
S11; Yes. Ray was on probation last episode and he had another terrible service so this should’ve been his time to leave.
S12; Eliminate both because Gaurav did an unsanitary thing on the line and Nicole literally gave up in the middle of service.
S13; Yes. I argue Santos more
S14; Nah! Chrissa was pretty clueless and did nothing to help herself that opening night so she was the right choice.
S15; Yes
S16; Yes
S17; Robyn didn’t do anything wrong that night and even Ramsay smelled BS through her being nominated at that time. If anything, Elise or Barbie should’ve been booted over Van.
S18; Yes
S19; If Kori on the red team while on garnish was communicating with her team and Adam on the blue team while on garnish wasn’t then there’s the problem there. How are we supposed to expect Adam to survive charity night when he couldn’t command his team.
S20; While Alex threw 4 people under the bus with his chickengate nonsense, Jay was pretty lost the entire service while on garnish, so Jay was the right choice.
S21; I kinda agree but Mindy did needed more confidence in herself so I kinda understand why she got the boot.
S22; Oh c’mon, Leigh couldn’t slice a Wellington correctly and mind you she’s in black Jacket. This ain’t opening night for a rookie mistake like that and if Scotley(S18) got eliminated for the same reason, then I think Leigh was definitely the right call.
Giovanni Deserved to go home over Andrea because of him causing a 3rd Degree burn to Robert, Gaurav not only did not take accountability for his fingers. but he even blamed Gordon Ramsay for getting mad over it.......yeah, need I say more with that goober, Chris had lower specs then Scott did before entering the competition, but still preformed much better then Scott. and Scott had a piss poor plea, Carmen was never at risk for going home that night as she didn't make too many fuck ups as with Leigh and Dahmere, also Johnathon could have gone home but he had been very consistent throughout the entire competition. so it really was close between him and Dahmere
About 95% of the eliminations I agree with, Anthony, All Star Van and Randy are the only ones where I put my foot down on.
I can agree with Louross, but tbh, I think Bobby being eliminated over Jen is arguable.
11:54
Wire reference, that’s why you’re the GOAT Flynn
1. The fact that Gabriel was ejected right before the black jackets should tell you something about Flynn’s pick for season 12.
2. Vinny’s elimination is definitely one of the most debatable of all time. I mean, yeah he was on the decline, but Gail got kicked out of the kitchen. But then again, if you think about it, Vinny’s elimination may have been karma for what he did throughout the season. So I could see either one of them going home.
3. I hope we see Alison, Hassan, Nikki, and Kanae again at some point.
4. The fact that Flynn couldn’t pick for season 17 is a sign for something. I just don’t know what.
another thing is that Vinny had four bad services in a row at that point, and this was Gail’s first bad service aswell
I’ve literally never been so pissed off at an elimination as I was with denya’s
Anyone noticed Fernando had his arms folded throughout his last elimination ceremony?
Either showed lack of maturity or completely feed up with his team’s crap
@@davidanthonymercado7064I'm choosing the latter😂
Still hold Sarah (Season 5's Wil) as unfair. The fact that Robert didn't hesitate or meander to say he'd take [Wil's]/Sarah's spot for nomination spoke volumes of how the group had more confidence in her over Seth. But since Ramsay saw a self nomination as weakness vs ownership of mistake we got a different series. Granted, unsure really how much would have changed in the long run but at least Seth wouldn't have molested that poor filet.
Seth was a donkey but didn't had the worse service on first episode.
Wil -ELIMINATED- 15 mistakes, 13 service mistakes (appearance looked like he had fallen on the floor, delay in garnish, burnt gnocchi delayed team, delay in taking dish to pass, stood still with a hot pan in his hand, shitty service, needed help in his station of his entire team, more delay in garnish, he lacked will and nominated himself)
Seth - 12 mistakes, 6 service mistakes (honey made it too sweet, chef spat it out and said it was the worst thing he had ever tasted, laughed, just peeled carrots and asked a lot of questions during preparation, raw lamb on the pass and badly cuts)
I really wouldn't say Vinnie's elimination was unfair. You have to remember the fact that his waiter performance was an all time bad one trying to control garnishes not coming out so either way he was never going to win after that
Dom’t forget his final service where he served undercooked bass/meat to Josiah Citrin, he was done then.

Sarah -18- mistakes- burnt peppers, didn't put the pan on the heat, put a lamb in a cold pan, started laughing, undercooked lamb 2x, fatty lamb, times, communication, boiled butter in the sauce, 2x cuts of the lamb , little cherry, posture, teamwork, kept moving thlambs, irregular lamb temperatures, took a while to get the salmon, there wasn't a salmon,
I watched your video you posted on UA-cam and I want to give you my opinions on others that should’ve been in the conversation.
Season 22: Carmen should’ve gotten sent home numerous times even before black jackets cause she always threw people under the bus to make herself look good.
Season 21: Sommer and Dafne were the two weakest chefs left and they somehow got the first two black jackets which was absolutely unfair and on top of that Sakari and Tara who are both better than Sommer and Dafne and yet both got sent home which was unfair. And Alejandro being sent home over dafne in top 3 was also unfair.
Season 19: another one I felt was underrated was Declan getting sent home over Mary Lou. To me she was really annoying.
Season 18: Mia should’ve went home over roe cause she doesnt admit her mistakes unlike roe. Mia ended up being the villain of season 18.
Season 17: another one that wasn’t talked about enough: manda. Yes she did forget the pork on a ticket but she got sent home over Barbie cause why? Ratings. I would’ve sent manda to the blue team and Benjamin to the red team. I didn’t like Benjamin his first time and didn’t like him in all stars.
Season 15: Frank should’ve went home over Chad. Chad was on a downward spiral yes but Frank was blaming other for his mistakes and got Jared and manda kicked out of the kitchen.
Season 7: Jason getting sent home over autumn. Jason was better than autumn, but again ratings.
Season 13: Steve should’ve went home over Katie. Another missed unfair elimination. Steve was basically hated since episode 3 when he was disrespecting Sterling and he and Sterling got into it. I would’ve moved Katie to the blue team and Sterling to the red team.
Alejandro underperformed in his asian dish on F3, Dafne was better at challenges.

I would say 20 Morgana instead. Payton was a major candidate to go home that night
To me an unfair elimination that no one really talks about was Sara in S2, don't get me wrong she was not a good cook and wasn't very likable. But Virginia literally admitted that she doesn't have what it takes to win and had just been terrible all season. If this was a newer season she would have for sure been eliminated, this alongside Chris and Brad's eliminations were why Ramsey began breaking his own rules sometimes in later seasons.
And then Virginia went on to kick Keith's ass in the next episode lol
@@05carMagu1re Sara was terrible as well too this season. She wasn’t a team player like for example, at the final 8 she lied about being ready with her food and got Virginia in trouble and I was glad that Virginia got her revenge by sending her home at the final 4. Karma well deserved.
@@rayewaddell9668 yeah it was a good moment of karma, but it still wasn't fair
Dana shouldve been at least an honourable mention in the all stars season(17), I get that Nicks was far more unfair but it was Danas first actual bad dinner service and first time up for elimination in 2 seasons. Gordon Ramsey even says that at the end of the episode. She screwed up meats screwing her team over but handled the situation well and somehow Elise made it farther then her.
Jason should’ve gone over Mattias because of bis flippant attitude and willingness to cut corners.
One I will always hate is Kenneth's from Season 19.
Having an elimination challenge before the first service is stupid on its own, but to not inform the chefs that it IS an elimination challenge until they've already cooked the dishes is downright evil.
Sure, Kenneth probably wouldn't have made it far anyway, considering he left a whole chunk of cheese in his dish, but to eliminate him before he has a chance to do a service or even defend himself is absolutely unfair.
Personally I think there were some other unfair eliminations:
Sterling definitely should’ve stayed over Santos since he, Steve and Aaron literally tried to sabotage their own team, and honestly all three should’ve been sent home at once.
There’s really no other unfair elimination from season 16 other than Aron because the blue team only nominated him solely just to save their friends.
Emily definitely should’ve gotten a black jacket in young guns and it probably should’ve been a final 6.
Jillian should’ve won season 8 since she was one of the very few that was actually good that season and had a good personality.
Raneisha should’ve stayed at least one more episode since it was a good service for both kitchens and Brad had already left the competition just minutes earlier.
Even Adam’s elimination is the one everyone talks about, I just think Nikki’s was just more unjustifiable
“ When you come into the kitchen and announce that you’re an executive chef you’d expect a little more than when I got from Chris. He’s been telling the world that he has that amount of knowledge, then he should’ve been 10 times better.”
“ You’ve got two choices, you run the team or the team runs you and sadly the team ran Keith. If Keith can only lose the attitude underneath all that there’s one talented talented cook.”
“ Brad was a hard worker. Unfortunately, he worked with his back rather than his brain. He lacked finesse to become a great chef.”
“ Louross was never short on energy. He was just short on cooking ability.”
“ At times I thought Jim was sleepwalking, but then I realized he just had no passion and that’s why it was time for him to leave Hell’s Kitchen.”
“ Siobhan got pushed around a lot in Hell’s Kitchen, so it was up to me to finally push her out.”
“ Jamie’s lack of fightback told me that she’s not ready to be a head chef. What the remaining chefs need to know is that it is not about what you’ve done in the past, it’s what you do here that counts.”
“ Brian had a lot of energy and was a funny guy, but after tonight’s performance, I wasn’t laughing and that’s why he has to leave Hell‘s Kitchen.”
“ Fernando‘s cooking was adequate, but his leadership was lacking. Being my next head chef requires both.”
“ Allison had a strong voice in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she couldn’t talk her way to a black jacket.”
“ Eddie couldn’t lead and he certainly couldn’t follow and so it was time to get the fuck out the way.”
“ Aziza has four kids at home. I think they need her more than I do. Unless of course they’re hungry.”
“ Adam started off the competition strong, but unlike his beard, Adam stopped growing.”
“ Steve still has a lot to learn. Unfortunately tonight, he learned that silence in the kitchen isn’t golden, it’s goodbye.”
“ Donya had the drive, voice, and was a great cook. But I’m not looking for a great cook, I need a great chef.”
No seriously, I'm surprised no one mentioned Keanu's season 20 elimination, and how caked in bullshit that one was yet.
Its bullshit she was nominated for the CFYL Challenge due to everything the red team criticized her for being complete BS. However Once She got in there, her elimination was fair due to trying to take the easy way out by trying to pull a fast one on Gordon with Burnt Chicken. and none of the other contestants made this mistake.
@@tallyikroe2476 It was pork and that was her second time burning that protein. Fair elimination.
I think what's interesting about these is that with the exception of exactly Nick in all stars, none of these contestants really stood out as potential winners. I've always theorized that Gordon usually has a good idea of who his final 2-3 chefs are gonna be pretty early on, so at that point who gets kept longer outside of those matters less and at that point he and the producers just keep the people who will help get better views.
I’d chip in and say Natalie. Elise should’ve gone.
I jumped out of my seat when Jason from season 22 got eliminated right before the black jackets.
Vinny wasn’t robbed, Id say Jillian was more robbed
Vinny deserved to leave, he wasn’t even doing good
@@devondonato4609 honestly, he’s very overrated tbh
I agree. I understand her pass performance wasn't outstanding but she was far more consistent than Nona and Russell
@@Kitas_Nissan_Driver even then I thought her pass was better than Nona lol
Would like to see an episode on either all of a top 10 of times chef Ramsay had chefs keep their jackets.
Just the fact that Frank, Jackie and Dannie were brought back for the s15 Finale over Eddie and Hassan was the biggest sin for me.
Looking at the first 16ish seasons I wonder who had more sway. Ramsay or the Producers
Most of them, I can agree. Sure, some of them are not really unfair, but of course we need to pick one for the season. However, there are some I disagree. For Season 6, I would say the most unfair elimination is Van. Sure he had a bad night, but Suzanne should have gotten eliminated over Van. Van deserved to make the Top 5. But I do agree that Jim does care. He is just a calm, collected, laid back guy.
For Season 8, I still believe that Curtis' elimination is the most unfair elimination. He sucked on the sushi challenge, yet despite knowing this, Chef Ramsay put Curtis on the Sushi station anyways, where of course, didn't work out. And Curtis wasn't nominated. He was set up to lose. It definitely wasn't his fault. If he was put on a different station, he could have done better and would have survived. Yeah, both Gail and Vinny had a bad night in the Final 7, but it was Gail's first time up for elimination, and Vinny did worse than Gail this competition, so it made sense.
For Season 9, I can agree that Jaime's elimination was unfair (along with Elise getting the Black Jacket over Elizabeth), but to me, Jennifer's elimination is the most unfair elimination of that season. Sure, Jennifer had a bad night, but Elise was worse (17 dinner service mistakes), and she have been eliminated long ago. Jennifer only got eliminated because Elise "manipulated" Paul and Will. Elise should have gone home, and Jennifer should have made it to the final 3. The reasons I quoted "manipulated" is because there is a chance that Paul and Will did not do it because of Elise. They probably did it because they find Jennifer to be a threat to them and they feel that if they eliminate her now, they would wipe the floor with Elise and Tommy and make it to the final 2. It did work as Tommy got eliminated, Elise got eliminated, and Paul and Will would make it to the finals, with Paul winning it all.
For Season 10, I understand why people thought it was unfair for Brian to get eliminated over Robyn, but to me, Brian had a really bad service and did worse than Robyn, so it made sense. However, the most unfair elimination to me was Patrick getting eliminated over Tiffany. Patrick was good in the beginning, but he started to fall as time went on. If you remember the night Patrick got eliminated, it was in the infamous episode where the red team drama was at its peak. The Red team did horrible, they focused on fighting more than completing service (on KIDS NIGHT BY THE WAY!), and got kicked out. For the Blue team, only Patrick and Royce struggled and both were kicked out. But for the rest of the Blue team, they did good, they completed service, and they even finished the Red Team's service. The Blue Team DEFINITELY had a better service than the Red Team, yet for some reason, both teams lost. So not only was it bullshit the the blue team lost, but elimination was even worse. Robyn had an epic plea, and Royce did pretty ok. Patrick, he made a good plea. Not as good as Robyn (and Clemenza), but he showed he cared and wanted to stay. It was definitely believable. But Tiffany,..........she had the worst plea in Hell's Kitchen, saying on a scale of 1-10, she cares like a 9. A 9. Everyone knows that if you are asked that question, you say 10 or higher (Carmen definitely got it right). If you say lower than 10, it shows your full effort isn't in it. In any other elimination, a plea like that would get someone eliminated. Tiffany had the worst plea, Patrick had a good plea. And yet, Patrick would be the one to go home. It was bullshit, and Patrick should have made it to the Top 10 over Tiffany, who was CLEARLY the worst chef that night. There's a reason why Patrick returned to the finals instead of Tiffany.
For Season 11, I do agree that Michael's elimination was unfair. Michael should have stayed over Zack. But to me, the most unfair elimination that season was Anthony. Anthony was perfect until that episode. He had one mistake, and he was eliminated over a guy who made numerous mistakes. And it was all because the producers wanted the Season 11 Blue Team to be the worst team in history. It worked as Zack got eliminated, and Jon would become the only male to get a Black Jacket. Anthony should have gotten a Black Jacket, and he will definitely go down as the best chef to never get a Black Jacket.
For Season 15, I still believe Hasan's elimination is the most unfair, but I do agree with Eddie's elimination as well. He was good in the beginning (and was definitely the best of the worse in the double elimination night), and event though he struggled the night he got eliminated, it was very minor. They should have either done a fake elimination or a team swap.
For Season 16, I don't know about Aziza's elimination. She was definitely a forgettable chef, and I would need to watch that service over to figure it out. But the most unfair elimination that season is definitely Aaron. Aaron did nothing wrong that night, yet he was nominated because of "age and experience". Normally, when someone gets nominated for that, Chef Ramsay would deny it and then roast the team (Don being a perfect example). But somehow, Aaron got eliminated. Johnny should have gotten eliminated that night, especially since he got eliminated 2 services later. Either have a fake elimination or send Aaron to the red team. I know he would have thrived on the red team and he would have done better with a team that believes in him. I know they would rather have him instead of Andrew and Matt. How far he would have gone if he was on the red team, we'll never know. But speaking of Season 16, I would also say that Pat and Koop's elimination was unfair. Matt should have gone home over Pat, especially since Matt had the worst night and Pat only made 1 mistake. 1! And even if Matt stays, at least have the team nominate Genaro instead of Pat. Especially since Genaro would be the next to go. Pat was only eliminated due to "age." They want to get rid of the most experienced and the least experienced, and Pat would definitely go down as the best chef to get eliminated first. As for Koop, he had a bad night, but Paulie did worse, and he was inconsistent. Plus, Koop did well. Plus, Paulie got nominated more than Koop. The only reason why Koop was eliminated was because Paulie threw him under the bus by saying he was smashing chairs in the dorm. Normally, it doesn't matter since Chef Ramsay made it clear in Season 13 that he doesn't care what happens in the dorms, yet somehow, Koop got eliminated. Paulie should have gone home. At least Koop made it back for the finals (instead of Matt)
Season 17's elimination is not only the most unfair elimination of the season, but the most unfair elimination in the ENTIRE SHOW! Eliminated because your dishes were judged by executives? EXECUTIVES!! Nick should have gone to the finals, and Nick SHOULD HAVE won.
As for Season 22, I can understand why Donya's elimination was unfair. Donya did better than Jason, who was definitely inconsistent. But that night was charity night, and it requires leadership. And if you hear Donya, you barely hear anything. She is usually vocal, but that night, she was like Melissa during service, barely noticeable. Jason was more vocal that night, even though he was the worst chef. To me, I didn't think it was unfair. Sure, I would have preferred Jason to leave over Donya, but why she got eliminated made sense. Also, I didn't think Jason threw Chef Christina under the bus. I think he simply just made a mistake and missed the instructions on the oven.
