Imagine being that shameless to not only cheat on your fiancée, but to do it in front of the entire world. I feel so bad for Andrew's fiancée. I hope she left him.
She did and Heather didn’t even know that Andrew was engaged until the fiancé came onto the show. After the show, Andrew tried getting back with Heather but she checked his socials and saw that he has a new girlfriend
He just started a war with over 60% of the world with that one sentence. Plus, rice is actually more nutritious than wheat as the same acre of rice would yield more calories than wheat. Plus it complements really well with highly flavourful foods like curry, seafood, and other dishes.
Well, you know they didn't add enough pumpkin in the risotto since a pumpkin risotto without the pumpkin is a risotto without the rice (thought I make a Season 2 reference). 😂
Also, Jessica is a crybaby and looks like her mind is not on the competition most of the time and even she's already packed her bags when she got nominated which is a sign that she's already given up eventhough she was on table side station at that night. Which is a very dumb move.
Jay (season 7) and Jon (season 11) truly got the last laugh. Jay has been on bar rescue and is now one of the sous chefs along with Christina on Hell's Kitchen Jon ended up getting hired by Christina as her sou chef in her prize-winning restaurant and still works within Gordon Ramsey's enterprises.
@@rebeccamcdermott9259 He was a much better choice for the finale than Mary. But I think production wanted an easy victory for Janel so they took him out. Luckily queen Christina saw the BS and took him for herself.
@@magicraccoons nah Mary and Ja’nel deserved finals. Despite Jon being the strongest chef of the season, he shit the bed so badly when he ran the pass.
Imagine having your fiancé leave you for a competition, only to have him cheat on you and be a moron. You know that girl threw away they ring the second she saw that. Edit: Flynn is a W for liking my comment.
She should be grateful after she gets over being hurt. She dodged a major bullet. Imagine if she didn't know who he really was until after they got married and had kids.
@@titoiswack3524 actually Heather talk on a podcast saying that her and andrew knew each other before they got on the show and andrew lied to heather about being single and heid knew he was in a relationship didn't tell heather about it and he ain't with the woman he was going to marry and after the show he tried to get back into heather good graces be with her just for her look at his socials that he is alreadydating someone again so yeah heather hates his guts
IMO the blue team bullying is prolly what set up Jessica that episode to pack her stuff after messing up in service. She was probably already not in a good mental space with everything going on and when you’re in that mindset, you tend to continue to make poor judgement calls.
@@HoneyWareDX similar to amanda in season 11 after family night service. She thought the black jacket would be all lady as Season 11 blue team are the worst except Jon. Amanda screwed herself up in the later up dinner services
Gia still should have gone home then. And she went full rat when the spotlight was on her. There was no reason to bring up that Jessica had packed her bags (which I would have thought was normal as a possible nominee but I guess they don't pack their bags until after). Although if Gia got sent home then we wouldn't have had the legendary phantom cut episode.
This is what makes Christina Wilson’s victory even more legendary. She is arguably, considered to be the greatest winner in Hell’s Kitchen history…. And she did it by quite literally carrying that dysfunctional red team on her back.
Barbie and Christina were the only members of the red team I liked that season. Barbie wasn't perfect but she definitely was not a problem like that, I don't know why those other women were ganging up on her like that. Not to mention they were rude and immature. They honestly dragged that season down.
I'm not even sure it's arguable. Christina is probably the best thing that ever happened in Gordon Ramsay's career, and he could very well be fucked right now if she hadn't (professionally) come into his life when she did. She's not just his right hand woman on HK, but also in running his entire restaurant empire. She went from running one of his restaurants to all of his NA business (in three years) to being a VP for his worldwide operations in just ten years. If she wanted to strike out on her own she absolutely could, and he'd be much worse off for it.
@@BratzRockAngels thank you for saying this. Everytime I rewatch Hell's Kitchen, I always see people nagging on and on about Barbie. I'm always shocked, because Barbie wasn't even that bad
I feel bad for Barbie in Season 10 because how many of her teammates always bullying and degrading her for no reason but Barbie in Season 17 flipped the script by being the bully to Michelle. I feel like most of the time, Dana and Christina carrying the team but Dana finally showing her true color on Final 3 by trying so hard to sabotage Christina. But, then again, this is competition after all.
The blue team in season 11 was legitimately so frustrating because they all would constantly lose and complain about how they lost even though most of the time they ended up putting themselves there. The only person on that team that was justified in complaining was Jon since he undoubtly had to go through the most punishments and was actually very consistent in both challenges and services.
Jeremy needed medic after blue team and him carried out 4 consecutive punishments while Cyndi needed a medic after the red team carried out the second punishment after Ja’niel switched to blue team
The season sixteen blue team made me so angry. They did that thing that guys do where they say mean things to the women and when they finally react and say something, they were like. "BRO WHY ARE YOU SO MAD" Like wow, its like you didn't just sit there and badmouth them the whole time to make them get to that point...
@@scottylewis8124 that's an offence to children, they were babies. I remember Johnny during the final episode properly bullying Ryan, you can look up what he said, it's pretty low
I feel like the Blue Team on that season (excpet Aaron, Devin and Koop. I also don't count Pat and Genaro since they are early boots) are too much focus on bullying rather than being a good chef. Andrew who cheated on his fiancè is honestly the most talented of them all and he never got nominated and he and Matt at least gets a break in Red Team as the Red Team mostly winning. And speaking of Matt, he's not even a good person either in real life. -When the producer ask him to come back, he's still mad and threatening to kill Chef Ramsay and he got replace by Koop. And yes, Koop deserved better after he got snitched by Paulie on his elimination. -Making a racist comment about Hassan from Season 15 on Facebook -Is an anti-vax At this point, I'm not surprised if he's joining Andrew Tate's cult.
I actually worked with Kevin from season 15. He's a sweetheart of a person, but the second he used canned ingredients in the first challenge, I screamed "this isn't work Kevin! You can't do that" lmao
I do like how at the start of Season 18 Heather says she and Andrew are no longer on speaking terms, probably speaks volumes about how Andrew's wife reacted to his little showmance once the show aired. Also RIP Paulie but goddamn his whining about everything while being literally crap was unbearable.
Apparently Heather only found out that Andrew was even in a relationship when his girlfriend showed up in that episode. She seemed to really like and trust him, and that trust was broken when the girlfriend showed up. So not only did he cheat on his girlfriend with another contestant, he also manipulated that contestant into thinking they could be in a legit relationship. That's a complete d-ck move on his part if you ask me. In other words, no wonder Heather cut him out, and good on her for it.
We all know Season 11 Blue Team was the worst I mean I have never seen a group of chefs who were constantly on a reciving end of a Ramsay Beatdown, the only good chefs in the Blue Kitchen were Jon (who was the best one in that season) and Anthony (Who was better than Zacky Wacky)
Yeah S11 had probably the worst team in the show's history. Barrett and Jeremy made some of the worst mistakes in the show's history and they were extremely inconsistent. Jon and Anthony were the only ones that were good cooks and Anthony should have made tha black jackets. Even Michael sucked tbh. He's very lucky he wasn't the first boot (though the right person did go home that night and I also found him to be a douche at times especially towards Dan.
She definitely impressed me a lot throughout her season especially putting up with her entire team filled with bullies and people who didn't care about being there also she and Dana are definitely my favourites from that season and would definitely make it on a list of Top 10 friendships in HK because there's definitely a lot of contestants on each season that created a friendship
@@angelmyrick9584 Your guess is as good as mine. The one episode of her using a thermometer I get, cause like come on. You are trying to be professional chefs. You should be able to judge meats cooked levels without it but, otherwise they were just trying to find reasons to hate her 🤣
@@jamesrobert680 Because. This is a professional cooking setting. You should be able to know or have a good idea on how cooked meat is. Notice Ramsay never uses a thermometer for example. He knows based on sight, touch, and other factors on if the meat is cooked correctly or incorrectly. He expects that of the other chefs as well. He doesn't want them to rely on things like thermometers to cook.
@@thomasgibbons3226 the correct thing was to run a skewer through to see the juices running clear. I don’t feel it warranted a kickout. And why did he eject Brian for his baby comment?
What's sad is that Russell in particular started off fine. He was blunt but still a team player. As the seasons go on, he got NASTY one of the biggest jerks of Hell's Kitchen history only topped by Jen in my opinion
@@kimgaarsdahl5834 I honestly would say Russell is worst, just based on the amount of times he threatened other contestants. Not to mention, he constantly sabotaged his own team during services
Elise got good chefs out but luckily didn't make it to the final 2, she was in the final 4 and was the 3rd person to get eliminated. But personally I loved the drama.
I don't understand the guy who kept saying "nobody likes you~" as though future businesses wouldn't watch him do this to a fellow teammate. If they think you're a bully, you're not getting into good customer service positions
These kinds of people only live in the moment. They don't care if it affected them later on, but as long as they can one up then and there, literally nothing else cares. Also, yes I'm aware I'm 2 months late.
“Holli is one of the weaker winners.” That’s recently been proven false as she was very consistent and stood out a decent amount as a leader. Despite her terrible pass performance, she managed to have a good finale. Jay on the other hand, managed to have 2 bad services by the end of his run(excluding his finale). Speaking of his performance as a head chef in the finale, his leadership there wasn’t the greatest.
well the dude has been the Blue team sous chef since S19... that makes him an equivalent of Christina Wilson apparently... that basically proves.. Jay was more deserving than Holli ... unlike Russel from S8 ... who was sure to win .. eventually lost .. coz of being an asshole
I guess the reason why Holli's one of the weaker winners is because she's SUPER invisible during the early/mid-game. Her only strength during that time is "only chef on the red team that doesnt screw up". It's only somewhere in the late game where you finally get to see her OTHER strengths.
Yeah Jay definitely fell off in black jackets F6 he was mediocre and had a error F5 he was terrible F4 part 1 had a terrible start but he did bounce back heavily but he only got best of the worst because everyone else was even worse Then F4 part 2 he actually did amazingly
"Rice is poor food." Editors: Yeah, here's a loud as fuck Asian instrument just to let that entire side of the world know you now have a target on your back.
Good video. On a statistical level, the Top 5 Worst Performing Teams in HK History were as follows: 5) S4 Blue Team, with a 29% win rate between challenges and services 4) S12 Blue Team (27% win rate) 3) S10 Blue Team (25% win rate, they only won ONE dinner service ever) 2) S7 Red Team (25% win rate, only 2 times they ever won services were at the same time as blue team) 1) S11 Blue Team (23% win rate)
@@HoneyWareDX Technically yes, although during their joint wins (yes, they’re listed as wins on Wikipedia), no one went home after dinner service ended. Nilka went home during the F7 service, but her bad performance wasn’t counted towards the Red Team overall. But yeah, if we’re talking times where Blue Team was in danger of sending people home, but Red Team wasn’t, then the percentage is in fact 0, you’re right.
@@calamazomcdonald3688 I didn't pick the teams based on who I liked least, I picked teams based on who STATISTICALLY did worse, personality conflicts be darned. This means the more times a team *lost* in their season, the higher they were in my individual ranking. And if you look at the actual leaderboards of each season, the 5 teams I mentioned did in fact lose the most, in regards to both dinner services and reward challenges.
I'll even elaborate: the S4 Blue Team won 2/8 reward challenges, as well as 3/9 dinner services. That's only 5 wins out of 17, which is roughly 29%. The S12 Blue Team won 4/12 rewards and 3/14 dinner services. 7 wins out of 26 = 26.9% or 27% rounded up. The S10 Blue Team won 5/12 rewards, but also won only ONE dinner service out of 12 services. 6/24 = 25% The S7 Red Team won 3/10 rewards, and 2/10 dinner services. 5/20 = 25% (technically a tie with S10 Blue Team, but I digress) The S11 Blue Team won 2/12 rewards and 4/14 dinner services. 6/26 = 23%.
Agree on your opinions about Benjamin in Season 7, but MAAAANNNN that guy had an incredible redemption arc in season 17. He was more reserved and had humbled completely. Even when he came in as a runner-up, he was like "Yeah, losing sucks, but hey, this was awesome and the chefs around me were all awesome." While he was a jerk in season 7, he was honestly one of the nicest and coolest guys in All-Stars. GOAT who had more character development than an anime protagonist.
@@LiamJR24 bro that’s the full ass truth. he totally redeemed himself from those few seasons in between. he was such a good contestant for his extreme redemption
I definitely liked Benjamin more on his All Stars season because you can tell he watched his original season multiple times and saw how much of douche and jerk he was and decided that maybe he should learn from his mistakes and improve upon them like his attitude, something that Elise should of done because she didn't change one bit
Putting Raj's team in 5th is clearly because you're afraid of Raj's amazing cooking abilities, that come straight from the 2nd dimension. Gordon Ramsay was playing with fire by putting Raj on the show, and standing up to him. He was lucky that Raj didn't just use his skills to destroy Ramsay.
4:00 “Kimmie, Robyn, and Tiffany are some of the worst female personalities to ever set foot in Hell’s Kitchen.” Well on one hand, at least Robyn absolutely redeemed her personality when it came to her All-Stars run. And also, she’s very much a fun-loving, excitable person outside of the show. To me, I think the show wanted another Elise. This was the season right after she was on, and I think the producers saw how much attention the show got with her presence on it. So I guess they thought they’d edit a number of the women as being tough and confrontational like she was.
Redeemed her personality my ass she still haven’t improved in her cooking skills she doesn’t belong in the kitchen she should have been out the second day
Yeah, Robyn was definitely way, way better than the other two without a doubt. She was short-tempered occasionally, but she was also a good all-arounder. I don't dispute her status of being a two-time black jacket chef.
I never saw the season she appeared in originally, so I never would've guessed how much of a jerk she was. I liked her in the All-Stars run, I thought she had good chemistry with Nick, and I liked the representation
What I’ve never heard anyone say is this is the longest job interview on record. Ramsey watches how they live, how they handle conflict resolution, how they carry themselves… just everything. He don’t give a quarter million position to people that act like they’re in the streets. Everyone makes the comment they will win like it’s a game show.
Yeah, that is a really good point, actually. You’re essentially trying to show that you can work as a good chef. Not only are you “the best cook” but you’re also able to work as a team, able to lead, able to handle the stress of a dinner service, etc. People really don’t seem to grasp exactly what this show is all about, even when they sign on to it.
@@ianbyrne465 alot of these people you see on the show only apply just because they will get the money whilst others apply because they would love to work with a chef like Gordon Ramsay because they can learn new things from the world famous chef, I mean they do want the money but it's working with Ramsay that they find more rewarding than a ton of money
Season 8 sabrina was the one chef I hated the most. She clearly did not understand that in order to stay longer, you need to work with the team, instead I felt like she was more focused on making herself look better because she believed everyone was trying to break her down. I honestly think she was just in her own head with the show which is why she got booted at the end
I hated Mike from Season 12 most. Disrespectful, loudmouth, hot headed. No work ethic and snubbed Ramsay’s handshake. I was glad when he went and to think he has a military background.
She's always making excuse, "I'm still young! I'm 22! And I don't have much experience!" And throwing everyone under the bus with crocodile tears. Meanwhile, Michelle who is the winner of All Star Season and originally from Season 14 was 22 at the time. She never cries, always calm, carrying the Red Team along with Meghan, T and Allison, she's even making to Black Jacket with her hard work and efforts, even when the others bully her for being the youngest, she's never giving up.
Especially of the time Tiffany threw her under the bus on elimination night and she said she had to take over Barbie's station even though it was the other way around. Barbie said Tiffany don't care. Chef Ramsay asked Tiffany how much does she care on scale of 1-10. Tiffany pathetically said "Like a 9." Both of Chef Ramsay and Barbie were face-palming of her answer.
I think it was mainly when she was up early and expected everyone to be up when she was, especially when she was doing the dishwasher and stomping her feet
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay That was like five episodes of them shit talking into the season. Right off the bat Robyn Kimmie and Tiffany were having interviews about how she is a bitch and should go home etc. It was weird to watch lol
@@Tenshi_Eirian he definitely wishes that these contestants showed more commitment and passion and skill that he sees when doing Masterchef Junior, I mean yeah he can get angry at those kids for making a mistake but they bounce back quicker and fix their mistakes something rarely seen on Hell's Kitchen services
Here are some thoughts on the choices 5- Hot take: Season 8 was the funniest season (unironically) 4- At least it had Christina Wilson oh yeah and Dana as well. 3- I liked Aaron and Devin but other than that they were mostly awful and good lord what is with their behavior towards females. 2- For as bad as the S11 blue team was Jon was the best of S11 and I think that Anthony and Michael were better black jacket options than Susan or Cyndi. 1- I actually don't really have anything to say except that I think if Jay were switched over, I imagine the red team would get much better.
Weird to think when raj said "I know the guys on my team have virtually no chance of winning" he wasn't wrong, only Russell was the strongest and he was probably the nicest to raj ironically, trev went to the red team for the most part, vinnie got lucky with the crafty trick he pulled in episode 2, Louis was a camp chef who couldn't cook meat, boris got lucky for not getting sent home by ditching his team to wash pans, Rob was very inconsistent and curtis sucked at challenges and couldnt make sushi Fuck I didn't know they had workout machines in HK But at least robyn was completely changed and was alot more likeable in season 17, she even got along with more contestants rather than just the one being Clemenza in season 10
The crafty trick that Vinny do in episode 2 is: He decide to tell customers to not order food from Raj. This action soon be caught by maitre D. His action only slow the blue team even more Ramsay had to yell Vinny that: “You do not decide what go out of the kitchen”. He then kick him out of dinner and later demand him a respect to restaurant
To be fair to Curtis, sushi is a whole field of culinary arts on its own, chefs train for years to make sushi. Then again, no reason why he couldn't make a simple nigiri.
Jeremy didn’t make the dumbest mistake, it was Kenneth from season 20 who left a huge chunk of parmesan cheese in his dish, but initially thought it was a potato, even though he didn’t have any potatoes in his fish at all. He literally said that he thought a potato just "fell in"
I felt really bad for Jessica from season 16 yes she wasn't a great chef but she was trying to fit in and be friendly and what did she get for it bullied by both teams (admittedly a lot more by the men) she seemed like a genuinely nice person and didn't deserve the disgusting way she got treated. Also you said season 8 was a weak season Jillian in no way was weak she was strong throughout and apart from a couple services where she lost it a bit she was strong throughout and bounced back quickly after things were explained to her, she definitely was stronger than both the people that ended up in the final
I think S8 was weak because of other constants like Russell, Raj and Sabrina. Sabrina for her attitude and crocodiles tears even though she was a good cook , Russell because of his ego, threats of violence especially during the finale as well as being a sore loser and Raj because well it's Raj
@dredpool3927 agreed, no idea why he signed up in the first place, he definitely took the place of someone more deserving of that spot as that wouldn't have the Blue Team not having confidence and patience
I’m glad you included their personality’s into this list also because I think it’s important to note what they are as a person, you wouldn’t want a jackass working with you
Sometimes, greatness comes as a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of darkness. If Christina had been on a better team, I don’t know if she would have had the same impact in HK history.
@@markwilson4078 I can see that. Also, in season 15, how is the blue team worse than the red team? The red team seemed worse than the blue team. Just because only one of the blue team’s members made it to the black jacket phase doesn’t make the red team any better. The blue team beat the red team by 1 extra service throughout the whole competition and the red team had more unlikeable chefs than the blue team. The only person who I disliked on the blue team was Frank but even he was a good cook and could have gotten a black jacket. And let’s not forget about Jackie who I despised way more than Frank, even Frank wouldn’t dump an ashtray onto someone, he has more sense than that. Plus, the female black jackets of season 15 weren’t even good, the only 2 female contestants who are worthy of receiving a black jacket are Kristen and Ashley. And the rest were either inconsistent, unlikeable, or both.
I know you said you wanted to avoid early seasons before rigid experience requirements were put in place but the original hell's bitches were red team season three whose best members were a short order cook and a nanny. They were behind infamous moments like almost serving pasta pulled from the trash, almost serving raw crab, having some ugly meltdowns, and of course the notorious lame duck incident which was the first time we saw Gordon legitimately pissed off on the show.
Adding an additional note: the producers didn't think this through on the Season 16 blue team. I feel bad for those guys who applied for the show and didn't get in all because of this. EDIT: I think there should be a background check in reality TV shows to prevent stuff like that happen.
6:00 I don’t know how much of the show is scripted, but did anyone think to call the police on Matt for literally saying he would jump Gordon on the street if he could? I don’t care if he was joking; you don’t make threats like that on national television.
Real quick in defense of the All Stars being called All Stars, while they were mainly brought back based on their personalities and how much drama they could cause, they all made it to black jackets in their original season, so they should be genuinely good cooks
If only we had Chef Scott to be the sous chef for Season 16, he probably put some sense into the men. I would love to see him yelling in front of Matt's and Paulie's faces in order to put some sense into them.
Yeah, I miss Scott for his drill sergeant vibe. The new Blue Team Sous Chefs such as Aaron, James, Jockey and even Blue Hair Jay Santos are too soft and nice. Jockey tried but he just being passively angry not like Scott who can raised his voice. Andi and Christina did a good job for raising their voices and confronted the contestant when they messed up or being disrespectful. I remember the earlier Red Team Sous Chefs like Mary-Ann and Gloria are just kinda there but Mary-Ann is assertive tho towards Bonnie Season 3. Even Heather, the winner of Season 2 who was the Sous Chef on Red Team Season 6 was completely silent most of the time and not like Christina who found her confidence and raised her voice ever since she confronted Jackie about "The Fucking List"
@@margarethmichelina5146also, Christina had evolved WAY before Jackie. And the one time I saw James mad (besides the chicken for his wife), it was kinda funny. “I am BESIDE myself!”💀💀💀💀
Thats why these recent seasons have been subpar. Hell's Kitchen aint the same when someone like Matt is getting a 2 for sending up raw food on a signature dish challenge. One season, fine but 2 in a row? Thats not fun anymore
But that's what makes Hells Kitchen better than most chef shows, the weird, the funny and drama queens (kings) plus Ramsey. If you want to watch great chefs compete with no drama, watch "Chopped". Good show, but kinda boring.
I still remember cracking up when Raj stopped and looked into the pot with steam coming out of it as the blue team walked to elimination. Idky it just made me giggle
I figured season 4’s blue team would be an honourable mention. Matt made Chef Ramsay throw up from his signature dish and the only consistent chef was Petrozza.
Might be a hot take, but here goes. While Pat, Devin and Aaron were obviously the nicest people on that horrific S16 blue team (and I don't totally hate Koop lol), honestly Genaro seemed like a nice dude too. He may not have shown all his passion on the show but the dude honestly seemed pretty good. RIP Genaro
Especially that "Nobody likes you" thing the Blue team did in a later seasons. That's literally just bullying at that point... Like no seriously that is what my bullies in school did when I was in public school. >.>
The S10 blue team actually won 5 challenges including 3 in a row making it 6-5-1 Red. It also had the first and only challenge that ended with no winner and both teams losing and doing punishment. Also, I hated S11 because it being one-sided especially with the challenges and even though some of them had a bad attitude I can't blame them for it and I actually felt sorry for them.
Season 18 red team (post swap) is a massive trainwreck and probably one of the worst men teams of all time, they only won one challenge and they were down 4-2 by the time it was the black jacket challenge
Still don’t understand why chef decided to put Mia on the team right before the black jacket challenge instead of after Jose got the boot. Maybe they could have won the last challenge or service had Mia or Ariel joined the team
I have to say this list is pretty accurate I’ve watched every season of Hells Kitchen. Season 7 I have to say, Jay should have won. I liked Holly but Jay was the stronger chef, and season 11 while it had one of the worst blue teams definitely Jon was bar none the strongest chef that season and should have been crowned the winner. But in a round about wag he ended up kind of getting the prize. He’s worked for Gordon Ramsay ever since it was filmed!
The thing about Trev is in Season 8 I can kind of relate to him. He was pushed aside by his team during the ravioli challenge and was belittled up until that point, so his tantrum at the reward was justified... I thought maybe he had a bad team and that's why he was disgruntled and annoyed. ...But then Season 18 happened and I found out no matter where you put Trev in, he isn't going to be super successful and his team is going to belittle him. I am sure he is not the worst guy in the world, but we had 2 different occasions of Trev getting hated and I am starting to think it's not the team.
Well, 1 team had Russel, a bully and 1 of the worst and most hated contestants of the HK history. Another team had Scotley, a manchild and a bully, who was extremely unprofessional, called Trev a "baby girl" e.t.c. And other teammates were laughing about it. Yes, Trevor performed poorly, but i never seen how other teams would just start bully somebody who failed a challenge. I still think that Trev just got the worst luck possible, when it comes to his teams. Doesn't make him the best, or even really that good, he struggled alot, but i believe he is overhated and had to do with alot of bs, so i kinda sympathy with him.
Trev to me feels kinda like a if not lovable than a likable loser. He at least had that moment in 8 when he was the only one of his team not to be thrown out. But yeah probably realistically not a black jacket guy in almost any other season.
I like to give Siobhan some leeway in season 7, cause not only was Benjamin hounding her personally, for whatever reason, he put her down for her recipes in challenges(specifically thr burger challenge where Benjamin confronted her in private and told her privately her burger sucked and she has no palette) and such, and im not surprised if that put her down mentally and just give up. Benjamin was such a jerk, and still sort of was in season 17, but he definitely got more quiet that season.
That really ticked me off. Especially when he made it a point to do that AFTER the challenge. I was like "Boy! Chef Ramsey and 2 other AWARD WINNING CHEFS said it was great, so sit your piddly butt down and zip it!" I totally thought he just needed someone to take outall his frustrations on and chose her because she was really young and not experienced.
the only person that i like from season 16 blue team was koop, he was literally the only likeable one, he was a good cook, and a pretty good fighter too.
I totally agree with you about Anthony and Michael from the 11 Blue team. There are some people that get way more chances than others (Robyn, Josh and Trev for example on both seasons they were in) and Zack definitely had way more opportunities than he was deserving of. I don’t know if it was truly because of the drama factor or if Chef Ramsey just actually sees something in some of these chefs but Michael going home after one bad service and Zack outlasting the far more consistent Anthony always bothered me, even when it was first on TV.
I think it's more because of drama that these bad chefs stay longer than good chefs because it would boost ratings and get audiences to hate them and it has worked quite a lot
Yeah Dana was a two-faced BITCH, dude. If you’re just watching clips rather than the full days and service, you don’t get the full picture. She seemed lit initially, but I saw her sneaky shit eventually.
@@jamesrobert680 I agree with u haha Pat should've stayed 100%. But then again it's fairly obvious why they'd keep matt around, gotta get those ratings up lol
@@cd06tgc79 deffo ratings. I don’t buy the reason that Pat surrendering control to Paulie. Matt’s lack of respect even for ex military far outweighed that.
Other worst teams you didn't mention was season 12 the worst blue team season 1 worst blue team season 4 worst blue team season 6 worst red team and season 3 worst red team and last but not least season 18 worst red team
I'm surprised Season 6's Red Team wasn't mentioned. They only won ONE out of ten services. Season 10's Blue Team only won one service too. Not to mention Season 14's Red Team got kicked out of five of the first seven services.
Season 10 blue team was able to win the one and only dinner service after they screwed up Marines wellington as the table agreed to change to NY Strip and red team screwed up the firefighters table in the dinner service.
I really can’t imagine being someone who feels totally comfortable being filmed for television laying on a couch under a blanket with someone in general, let alone being weeks away from getting married and doing that. I just think it makes people look trashy, like really you want that impression of you on tv? That you’re easy? Like why would you want that image out there? I would be mortified if I was on a show and the cameras caught me even casually laying on a couch, looking my most pudgiest, at the most unflattering angle imaginable. Like that’s not cute…
Im never gonna get over Raj making it past Curtis. I know he wasn’t great, but he was young from a lower income area, he worked 10x harder than a lot of his team, he just deserved another chance p, especially over Raj
I think there was definitely a race thing involved with Barbie in s10, whether the other chefs realized it or not. However, she did not do herself any favors with that bs of waking everyone up early and stomping her feet. If I was already getting limited sleep and someone purposefully woke me up out of spite I would be super annoyed with them too. Could even affect my opinion of them throughout my time with them.
The season 6 red team is also a sneaky candidate for the worst. They only won 1 service! They also were super petty towards Tennille and Suzanne, fair or not.
To be frank, Elise during the meat grilling challenge grilled all of the meat and got the lowest score for her team and blamed Carrie, her teammate for the challenge, when she wouldn't let her do anything.
Or not picking Carrie's dish that would of won them a challenge because to her it wasn't pretty unlike the chosen dish that looked pretty but tasted awful, something Carrie's dish was the opposite as her dish tasted good and could of given them a perfect score even Ramsay and Carrie agreed with each other when Elise refused to taste Carrie's dish
"What was the production team of Hell's Kitchen thinking putting all these douchebags on one team?" Come on man you've watched more of this show than me, you know they're chaos gremlins.
S11 John was a beast, he nailed his dishes on the challenges and I don't think he had a single bad service, he was my contender of winning that season, the fact that he didn't floored me.
Imagine being that shameless to not only cheat on your fiancée, but to do it in front of the entire world. I feel so bad for Andrew's fiancée. I hope she left him.
She did and Heather didn’t even know that Andrew was engaged until the fiancé came onto the show. After the show, Andrew tried getting back with Heather but she checked his socials and saw that he has a new girlfriend

Jay (season 7) and Jon (season 11) truly got the last laugh.

Jon ended up getting hired by Christina as her sou chef in her prize-winning restaurant and still works within Gordon Ramsey's enterprises.
That’s good to know that Jon is still with Ramsay. I knew that Christina hired him, so that’s glad to hear.

IMO the blue team bullying is prolly what set up Jessica that episode to pack her stuff after messing up in service. She was probably already not in a good mental space with everything going on and when you’re in that mindset, you tend to continue to make poor judgement calls.
I can't blame Jessica for leaving when she's the center of so much torment from the blue team.
Also, she's the first person who got eliminated while doing table service

@@HoneyWareDX similar to amanda in season 11 after family night service. She thought the black jacket would be all lady as Season 11 blue team are the worst except Jon. Amanda screwed herself up in the later up dinner services
Gia still should have gone home then. And she went full rat when the spotlight was on her. There was no reason to bring up that Jessica had packed her bags (which I would have thought was normal as a possible nominee but I guess they don't pack their bags until after). Although if Gia got sent home then we wouldn't have had the legendary phantom cut episode.
This is what makes Christina Wilson’s victory even more legendary. She is arguably, considered to be the greatest winner in Hell’s Kitchen history…. And she did it by quite literally carrying that dysfunctional red team on her back.
Barbie and Christina were the only members of the red team I liked that season. Barbie wasn't perfect but she definitely was not a problem like that, I don't know why those other women were ganging up on her like that. Not to mention they were rude and immature. They honestly dragged that season down.
I'm not even sure it's arguable. Christina is probably the best thing that ever happened in Gordon Ramsay's career, and he could very well be fucked right now if she hadn't (professionally) come into his life when she did. She's not just his right hand woman on HK, but also in running his entire restaurant empire. She went from running one of his restaurants to all of his NA business (in three years) to being a VP for his worldwide operations in just ten years. If she wanted to strike out on her own she absolutely could, and he'd be much worse off for it.
@@BratzRockAngels thank you for saying this. Everytime I rewatch Hell's Kitchen, I always see people nagging on and on about Barbie. I'm always shocked, because Barbie wasn't even that bad
Christina deliberately picked two of her most difficult team mates and handled them beautifully.
I feel bad for Barbie in Season 10 because how many of her teammates always bullying and degrading her for no reason but Barbie in Season 17 flipped the script by being the bully to Michelle. I feel like most of the time, Dana and Christina carrying the team but Dana finally showing her true color on Final 3 by trying so hard to sabotage Christina. But, then again, this is competition after all.
The blue team in season 11 was legitimately so frustrating because they all would constantly lose and complain about how they lost even though most of the time they ended up putting themselves there. The only person on that team that was justified in complaining was Jon since he undoubtly had to go through the most punishments and was actually very consistent in both challenges and services.
OMG Sebastian sucked I was so happy he was the first to leave his mouth was the size of FRANCE I tell you- 💀
Jeremy needed medic after blue team and him carried out 4 consecutive punishments while Cyndi needed a medic after the red team carried out the second punishment after Ja’niel switched to blue team
Also, every time Jon get a good score on any challenges, his other teammates always get the lowest scores. Poor Jon.

I somewhat take this back. Misinterpreted the quote on the wiki, he does not appear in the finale
I feel like the Blue Team on that season (excpet Aaron, Devin and Koop. I also don't count Pat and Genaro since they are early boots) are too much focus on bullying rather than being a good chef. Andrew who cheated on his fiancè is honestly the most talented of them all and he never got nominated and he and Matt at least gets a break in Red Team as the Red Team mostly winning. And speaking of Matt, he's not even a good person either in real life.
-When the producer ask him to come back, he's still mad and threatening to kill Chef Ramsay and he got replace by Koop. And yes, Koop deserved better after he got snitched by Paulie on his elimination.
-Making a racist comment about Hassan from Season 15 on Facebook
-Is an anti-vax
At this point, I'm not surprised if he's joining Andrew Tate's cult.
I actually worked with Kevin from season 15. He's a sweetheart of a person, but the second he used canned ingredients in the first challenge, I screamed "this isn't work Kevin! You can't do that" lmao
i’ve met kevin really is a kind guy, just a bad run
Like Virginia...She was bad in HK but she is good in real life cooking
That man Kevin seemed CLUELESS😭
I do like how at the start of Season 18 Heather says she and Andrew are no longer on speaking terms, probably speaks volumes about how Andrew's wife reacted to his little showmance once the show aired. Also RIP Paulie but goddamn his whining about everything while being literally crap was unbearable.
Apparently Heather only found out that Andrew was even in a relationship when his girlfriend showed up in that episode. She seemed to really like and trust him, and that trust was broken when the girlfriend showed up. So not only did he cheat on his girlfriend with another contestant, he also manipulated that contestant into thinking they could be in a legit relationship. That's a complete d-ck move on his part if you ask me. In other words, no wonder Heather cut him out, and good on her for it.

We all know Season 11 Blue Team was the worst I mean I have never seen a group of chefs who were constantly on a reciving end of a Ramsay Beatdown, the only good chefs in the Blue Kitchen were Jon (who was the best one in that season) and Anthony (Who was better than Zacky Wacky)
Season 16*
The fact Anthony was eliminated before Zack pisses me off
@@digdog66 Zach should've been gone when he sabotaged Ray he even admitted on camera that he did it
Season 16 was worse
Yeah S11 had probably the worst team in the show's history. Barrett and Jeremy made some of the worst mistakes in the show's history and they were extremely inconsistent. Jon and Anthony were the only ones that were good cooks and Anthony should have made tha black jackets. Even Michael sucked tbh. He's very lucky he wasn't the first boot (though the right person did go home that night and I also found him to be a douche at times especially towards Dan.
“At least this season gave us the legendary Christina Wilson” - Hell Yeah.
She definitely impressed me a lot throughout her season especially putting up with her entire team filled with bullies and people who didn't care about being there also she and Dana are definitely my favourites from that season and would definitely make it on a list of Top 10 friendships in HK because there's definitely a lot of contestants on each season that created a friendship

Matt of season 16 tops that list for me.
As many, myself included has said, if Russell wasn't such a douchebag, he would've had Season 8 in his back pocket.

“Holli is one of the weaker winners.” That’s recently been proven false as she was very consistent and stood out a decent amount as a leader. Despite her terrible pass performance, she managed to have a good finale. Jay on the other hand, managed to have 2 bad services by the end of his run(excluding his finale). Speaking of his performance as a head chef in the finale, his leadership there wasn’t the greatest.
well the dude has been the Blue team sous chef since S19...
that makes him an equivalent of Christina Wilson apparently...
that basically proves.. Jay was more deserving than Holli ...
unlike Russel from S8 ... who was sure to win .. eventually lost .. coz of being an asshole
I guess the reason why Holli's one of the weaker winners is because she's SUPER invisible during the early/mid-game. Her only strength during that time is "only chef on the red team that doesnt screw up". It's only somewhere in the late game where you finally get to see her OTHER strengths.
Jay should have won, thats what makes her a weak winner
Yeah Jay definitely fell off in black jackets

Good video. On a statistical level, the Top 5 Worst Performing Teams in HK History were as follows:
5) S4 Blue Team, with a 29% win rate between challenges and services
4) S12 Blue Team (27% win rate)
3) S10 Blue Team (25% win rate, they only won ONE dinner service ever)
2) S7 Red Team (25% win rate, only 2 times they ever won services were at the same time as blue team)
1) S11 Blue Team (23% win rate)
So technically S7 red team has the worst ratio at 0% if joint-*wins we're excluded.
@@HoneyWareDX Technically yes, although during their joint wins (yes, they’re listed as wins on Wikipedia), no one went home after dinner service ended. Nilka went home during the F7 service, but her bad performance wasn’t counted towards the Red Team overall.
But yeah, if we’re talking times where Blue Team was in danger of sending people home, but Red Team wasn’t, then the percentage is in fact 0, you’re right.
Why are you picking almost all blue team, season 10 had the worst red team in terms of personality conflicts
@@calamazomcdonald3688 I didn't pick the teams based on who I liked least, I picked teams based on who STATISTICALLY did worse, personality conflicts be darned. This means the more times a team *lost* in their season, the higher they were in my individual ranking. And if you look at the actual leaderboards of each season, the 5 teams I mentioned did in fact lose the most, in regards to both dinner services and reward challenges.
I'll even elaborate: the S4 Blue Team won 2/8 reward challenges, as well as 3/9 dinner services. That's only 5 wins out of 17, which is roughly 29%.
The S12 Blue Team won 4/12 rewards and 3/14 dinner services. 7 wins out of 26 = 26.9% or 27% rounded up.
The S10 Blue Team won 5/12 rewards, but also won only ONE dinner service out of 12 services. 6/24 = 25%
The S7 Red Team won 3/10 rewards, and 2/10 dinner services. 5/20 = 25% (technically a tie with S10 Blue Team, but I digress)
The S11 Blue Team won 2/12 rewards and 4/14 dinner services. 6/26 = 23%.
Agree on your opinions about Benjamin in Season 7, but MAAAANNNN that guy had an incredible redemption arc in season 17. He was more reserved and had humbled completely. Even when he came in as a runner-up, he was like "Yeah, losing sucks, but hey, this was awesome and the chefs around me were all awesome." While he was a jerk in season 7, he was honestly one of the nicest and coolest guys in All-Stars. GOAT who had more character development than an anime protagonist.
Season 17 Benjamin is an S-Tier HK contestant.
@@LiamJR24 bro that’s the full ass truth. he totally redeemed himself from those few seasons in between. he was such a good contestant for his extreme redemption

Also, he's never getting nominated at once in both of the seasons.
I definitely liked Benjamin more on his All Stars season because you can tell he watched his original season multiple times and saw how much of douche and jerk he was and decided that maybe he should learn from his mistakes and improve upon them like his attitude, something that Elise should of done because she didn't change one bit
Putting Raj's team in 5th is clearly because you're afraid of Raj's amazing cooking abilities, that come straight from the 2nd dimension. Gordon Ramsay was playing with fire by putting Raj on the show, and standing up to him. He was lucky that Raj didn't just use his skills to destroy Ramsay.
Bro tf are you on about? Raj was a fatso who cooked well but was annoying and couldn't stop eating for shit
"Including a sexist." He said that like it's somehow a separate category than just being a horrible teammate in general.
Because there are 50+ different flavors of assholery, with sexism being only one.

He's also the same producer of Kitchen Nightmares
4:00 “Kimmie, Robyn, and Tiffany are some of the worst female personalities to ever set foot in Hell’s Kitchen.”
Well on one hand, at least Robyn absolutely redeemed her personality when it came to her All-Stars run. And also, she’s very much a fun-loving, excitable person outside of the show.
To me, I think the show wanted another Elise. This was the season right after she was on, and I think the producers saw how much attention the show got with her presence on it. So I guess they thought they’d edit a number of the women as being tough and confrontational like she was.
For sure. Ever since Elise the show runners always tries to find a full of herself and disrespectful woman to try and fill her shoes.
Redeemed her personality my ass she still haven’t improved in her cooking skills she doesn’t belong in the kitchen she should have been out the second day
Yeah, Robyn was definitely way, way better than the other two without a doubt. She was short-tempered occasionally, but she was also a good all-arounder. I don't dispute her status of being a two-time black jacket chef.
Imagine if Elise was in season 10 with Kimmie, Robyn and Tiffany
I never saw the season she appeared in originally, so I never would've guessed how much of a jerk she was. I liked her in the All-Stars run, I thought she had good chemistry with Nick, and I liked the representation
What I’ve never heard anyone say is this is the longest job interview on record. Ramsey watches how they live, how they handle conflict resolution, how they carry themselves… just everything. He don’t give a quarter million position to people that act like they’re in the streets. Everyone makes the comment they will win like it’s a game show.
Yeah, that is a really good point, actually. You’re essentially trying to show that you can work as a good chef. Not only are you “the best cook” but you’re also able to work as a team, able to lead, able to handle the stress of a dinner service, etc. People really don’t seem to grasp exactly what this show is all about, even when they sign on to it.
@@ianbyrne465 alot of these people you see on the show only apply just because they will get the money whilst others apply because they would love to work with a chef like Gordon Ramsay because they can learn new things from the world famous chef, I mean they do want the money but it's working with Ramsay that they find more rewarding than a ton of money

Season 8 sabrina was the one chef I hated the most. She clearly did not understand that in order to stay longer, you need to work with the team, instead I felt like she was more focused on making herself look better because she believed everyone was trying to break her down. I honestly think she was just in her own head with the show which is why she got booted at the end
I hated Mike from Season 12 most. Disrespectful, loudmouth, hot headed. No work ethic and snubbed Ramsay’s handshake. I was glad when he went and to think he has a military background.
Sabrina was a hotheaded idiot, I hated her so much, how did she even stay as long as she did?
She's always making excuse, "I'm still young! I'm 22! And I don't have much experience!" And throwing everyone under the bus with crocodile tears.
Meanwhile, Michelle who is the winner of All Star Season and originally from Season 14 was 22 at the time. She never cries, always calm, carrying the Red Team along with Meghan, T and Allison, she's even making to Black Jacket with her hard work and efforts, even when the others bully her for being the youngest, she's never giving up.
In Sabrina’s case, whilst her attitude wasn’t the best she was right about Melissa, Emily and Gail’s performances.
@@myu5519 after the season ended, Sabrina apologized for her behavior and left the culinary industry after the death of her father.
Barbie was my favorite part of that season, it was so annoying seeing her get treated like shit the entire time.

Especially of the time Tiffany threw her under the bus on elimination night and she said she had to take over Barbie's station even though it was the other way around. Barbie said Tiffany don't care. Chef Ramsay asked Tiffany how much does she care on scale of 1-10. Tiffany pathetically said "Like a 9." Both of Chef Ramsay and Barbie were face-palming of her answer.
I think it was mainly when she was up early and expected everyone to be up when she was, especially when she was doing the dishwasher and stomping her feet

5- Hot take: Season 8 was the funniest season (unironically)
4- At least it had Christina Wilson oh yeah and Dana as well.
3- I liked Aaron and Devin but other than that they were mostly awful and good lord what is with their behavior towards females.
2- For as bad as the S11 blue team was Jon was the best of S11 and I think that Anthony and Michael were better black jacket options than Susan or Cyndi.
1- I actually don't really have anything to say except that I think if Jay were switched over, I imagine the red team would get much better.
Pat was one the nicest guys from the blue team (s16) and he was the first kicked out...That means a lot.
@@Fyzer444 oh yeah I kinda forgot about him.
…Michael better than cyndi?

Weird to think when raj said "I know the guys on my team have virtually no chance of winning" he wasn't wrong, only Russell was the strongest and he was probably the nicest to raj ironically, trev went to the red team for the most part, vinnie got lucky with the crafty trick he pulled in episode 2, Louis was a camp chef who couldn't cook meat, boris got lucky for not getting sent home by ditching his team to wash pans, Rob was very inconsistent and curtis sucked at challenges and couldnt make sushi
Fuck I didn't know they had workout machines in HK
But at least robyn was completely changed and was alot more likeable in season 17, she even got along with more contestants rather than just the one being Clemenza in season 10
It was definitely noticeable with how upset she was with Dana's elimination.
The crafty trick that Vinny do in episode 2 is:
He decide to tell customers to not order food from Raj. This action soon be caught by maitre D. His action only slow the blue team even more
Ramsay had to yell Vinny that: “You do not decide what go out of the kitchen”. He then kick him out of dinner and later demand him a respect to restaurant
To be fair to Curtis, sushi is a whole field of culinary arts on its own, chefs train for years to make sushi. Then again, no reason why he couldn't make a simple nigiri.

That's season 19 not 20
Potato gate!
@@laundrysauce354fucking Jen…🤦🏾♂️ and she made it to the black jackets.
I felt really bad for Jessica from season 16 yes she wasn't a great chef but she was trying to fit in and be friendly and what did she get for it bullied by both teams (admittedly a lot more by the men) she seemed like a genuinely nice person and didn't deserve the disgusting way she got treated. Also you said season 8 was a weak season Jillian in no way was weak she was strong throughout and apart from a couple services where she lost it a bit she was strong throughout and bounced back quickly after things were explained to her, she definitely was stronger than both the people that ended up in the final
I think S8 was weak because of other constants like Russell, Raj and Sabrina. Sabrina for her attitude and crocodiles tears even though she was a good cook , Russell because of his ego, threats of violence especially during the finale as well as being a sore loser and Raj because well it's Raj
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplayRaj had NO business being there. Dude was clueless and useless.
She acted like a shithead backing up Sabrina early on, though.
@dredpool3927 agreed, no idea why he signed up in the first place, he definitely took the place of someone more deserving of that spot as that wouldn't have the Blue Team not having confidence and patience
I just realized that there has not been a single elimination in Season 7 that the Red Team got to sit in the 'peanut gallery.'
Luckily Jason became successful after HK. I was shocked, but pleased, to see him as an expert on Bar Rescue
He's also becoming current Blue Team Sous Chef
@@margarethmichelina5146 I didn't even know there was a new season lol that's awesome if I can find somewhere I can watch it, I definitely will
@@carolinesconcertvids860 he’s been the blue team’s sous chef since season 19.
You should do 10 most heated HK outbursts without Gordon Ramsay. For Example: Teams Fighting, Sous Chefs getting pissed.
I remember when Sous Chef Scott screamed at one of the chefs-
@@noahluvrr « Now get the fuck over there AND DON'T EVER COME UP TO MY PASS AGAIN AND TRY TO TAKE MY FUCKING PLACE!!!!»
@@noahluvrr that was for Benjamin in S7 who thought it be a wise idea to read out the orders
S10 Robyn vs Kimmie in the dorms for sure - Christina literally had to HOLD KIMMIE BACK
@@jack53white true
I’m glad you included their personality’s into this list also because I think it’s important to note what they are as a person, you wouldn’t want a jackass working with you
Indeed because that person wouldn't make it through one week before being fired by their boss
I feel bad for Christina Wilson and Jon Scallion, they deserve to be on a better team than those crappy teams.
Sometimes, greatness comes as a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of darkness. If Christina had been on a better team, I don’t know if she would have had the same impact in HK history.
@@markwilson4078 I can see that. Also, in season 15, how is the blue team worse than the red team? The red team seemed worse than the blue team. Just because only one of the blue team’s members made it to the black jacket phase doesn’t make the red team any better. The blue team beat the red team by 1 extra service throughout the whole competition and the red team had more unlikeable chefs than the blue team. The only person who I disliked on the blue team was Frank but even he was a good cook and could have gotten a black jacket. And let’s not forget about Jackie who I despised way more than Frank, even Frank wouldn’t dump an ashtray onto someone, he has more sense than that. Plus, the female black jackets of season 15 weren’t even good, the only 2 female contestants who are worthy of receiving a black jacket are Kristen and Ashley. And the rest were either inconsistent, unlikeable, or both.
@@definitelyadragon1644Frank was an arrogant, misogynistic, immature, irresponsible and sexist cunt though.
christina wilson was a pearl formed under sheer pressure
I know you said you wanted to avoid early seasons before rigid experience requirements were put in place but the original hell's bitches were red team season three whose best members were a short order cook and a nanny. They were behind infamous moments like almost serving pasta pulled from the trash, almost serving raw crab, having some ugly meltdowns, and of course the notorious lame duck incident which was the first time we saw Gordon legitimately pissed off on the show.
Melissa was a solipsistic, narcissistic fuck, Tiffany was an ignorant, condescending bitch, and Johanna was an arrogant asshat.
if you watch season 7's elimination supercut, you'll see the red team up there for most of the time
Every time in fact!
@@FlynnMasters yeah, it's very crazy. how did they get a team THAT bad?
And yet the winner from that season was on the Red Team the entire compeition
@@hexnight Duh, we make team! *Bangs head on desk* we make team! *Bang* we make team! *Bang*
Imagine if Ramsay couldn’t eliminate people from the winning team lmao
Sabrina is basically Angelica Pickles from The Rugrats in her 20's.
Haha, I see that actually!!. 😂
She's always acting that she's never getting her next Barbie doll for her birthday every time
I actually agree with you! 😂😂😂
😂
Now I want to see a video about why All Stars had many issues.
Also, about S11 Blue Team, it's not Chef Ramsay fault. You can blame the producers.
The producers were high.
Well how much pull does Ramsay have in setting the lineups?
Adding an additional note: the producers didn't think this through on the Season 16 blue team. I feel bad for those guys who applied for the show and didn't get in all because of this.
EDIT: I think there should be a background check in reality TV shows to prevent stuff like that happen.
6:00 I don’t know how much of the show is scripted, but did anyone think to call the police on Matt for literally saying he would jump Gordon on the street if he could? I don’t care if he was joking; you don’t make threats like that on national television.
since you made the 5 worst teams vid, now i want the 5 best teams
Real quick in defense of the All Stars being called All Stars, while they were mainly brought back based on their personalities and how much drama they could cause, they all made it to black jackets in their original season, so they should be genuinely good cooks
If only we had Chef Scott to be the sous chef for Season 16, he probably put some sense into the men. I would love to see him yelling in front of Matt's and Paulie's faces in order to put some sense into them.
Yeah, I miss Scott for his drill sergeant vibe. The new Blue Team Sous Chefs such as Aaron, James, Jockey and even Blue Hair Jay Santos are too soft and nice. Jockey tried but he just being passively angry not like Scott who can raised his voice.
Andi and Christina did a good job for raising their voices and confronted the contestant when they messed up or being disrespectful. I remember the earlier Red Team Sous Chefs like Mary-Ann and Gloria are just kinda there but Mary-Ann is assertive tho towards Bonnie Season 3. Even Heather, the winner of Season 2 who was the Sous Chef on Red Team Season 6 was completely silent most of the time and not like Christina who found her confidence and raised her voice ever since she confronted Jackie about "The Fucking List"
@@margarethmichelina5146yeah no Heather evolved into a BADASS. I was shocked when I saw that she was a sous chef.
@@margarethmichelina5146also, Christina had evolved WAY before Jackie. And the one time I saw James mad (besides the chicken for his wife), it was kinda funny.
“I am BESIDE myself!”💀💀💀💀
Now i know why Bret, Motto & Jose bullying Trev cause they watch Trev bullying Raj
Trev bullied Raj? He had one major blowup with him but that was it. People do snap
Are you being fr?
Trev gets karma for what happened at season 8 and when he came in season 18 it started to hunt him down for good
What did motto do to trev? Also you forgot scotley who was the worst to him
@@terrancenewsome578 well I hope motto and Bret get karma for what they did
This why the recent seasons are better. No real toxic people and only a few annoying people.
Thats why these recent seasons have been subpar. Hell's Kitchen aint the same when someone like Matt is getting a 2 for sending up raw food on a signature dish challenge. One season, fine but 2 in a row? Thats not fun anymore
Been watching S20 after binging S12-S14, man the personalities sure are boring but they are chill to watch.
But that's what makes Hells Kitchen better than most chef shows, the weird, the funny and drama queens (kings) plus Ramsey. If you want to watch great chefs compete with no drama, watch "Chopped". Good show, but kinda boring.
I still remember cracking up when Raj stopped and looked into the pot with steam coming out of it as the blue team walked to elimination. Idky it just made me giggle
I figured season 4’s blue team would be an honourable mention.
Matt made Chef Ramsay throw up from his signature dish and the only consistent chef was Petrozza.
When cooking the only "acceptable" time to stick your fingers in the food when tasting is when you are cooking for just yourself.
Might be a hot take, but here goes.
While Pat, Devin and Aaron were obviously the nicest people on that horrific S16 blue team (and I don't totally hate Koop lol), honestly Genaro seemed like a nice dude too. He may not have shown all his passion on the show but the dude honestly seemed pretty good. RIP Genaro
Too bad Koop lose his temper and got eliminated after that thanks to Paulie snitching at him on elimination.
The people on this show often behaved worst than children lmao
Especially that "Nobody likes you" thing the Blue team did in a later seasons. That's literally just bullying at that point...
Like no seriously that is what my bullies in school did when I was in public school. >.>
Rice is Poor Food? It's cheap, but also used all around the world and delicious
The S10 blue team actually won 5 challenges including 3 in a row making it 6-5-1 Red. It also had the first and only challenge that ended with no winner and both teams losing and doing punishment. Also, I hated S11 because it being one-sided especially with the challenges and even though some of them had a bad attitude I can't blame them for it and I actually felt sorry for them.
That's interesting, considering their record was 1-6-5 vs the Red in services
Again, Genero didn’t have a lack of passion, he just didn’t throw a crybaby tantrum whenever he lost
Season 18 red team (post swap) is a massive trainwreck and probably one of the worst men teams of all time, they only won one challenge and they were down 4-2 by the time it was the black jacket challenge
Still don’t understand why chef decided to put Mia on the team right before the black jacket challenge instead of after Jose got the boot. Maybe they could have won the last challenge or service had Mia or Ariel joined the team
I feel like that's because they were an average team against a super stacked blue team in Mia and Ariel.
The swap that made the season pointless and made me quit watching.
Potential to be a decent season completely ruined with that swap
@@shastealyomeal all because Kent Weed didn't like the concept and wanted to stick to his guns.
Go to Hell, Kent!
The season 16 blue team sucked the best chef on the team was Andrew and even he wasn’t that good Devin was the only tolerable guy who could cook
Can’t cook*
Devin, Aaron and Koop are the only nicest guys in That Blue Team. Pat looks like a nice guy but too bad he got booted too early
Could you imagine if Elise was moved from season 9 to season 10. That would have to be the most dysfunctional team ever lmao
I don't think Christina deserved her aswell god ha
I have to say this list is pretty accurate I’ve watched every season of Hells Kitchen. Season 7 I have to say, Jay should have won. I liked Holly but Jay was the stronger chef, and season 11 while it had one of the worst blue teams definitely Jon was bar none the strongest chef that season and should have been crowned the winner. But in a round about wag he ended up kind of getting the prize. He’s worked for Gordon Ramsay ever since it was filmed!
Jay’s actually weaker than Holli. And I think that 3rd place was the right placement for Jon.
Holli outperformed Jay through the entire competition. Jay had multiple bad services
I actually think Benjamin should have won. I think he got screwed over twice as he should have won All-Stars too
Jon completely fell apart at the pass much like Keith from Season 2. The only difference is that Jon didn't have an attitude problem.
@@gmgz or accused Ramsay for having a hard on for a female contestant, something Keith flat out said to Ramsay in Season 2
The thing about Trev is in Season 8 I can kind of relate to him. He was pushed aside by his team during the ravioli challenge and was belittled up until that point, so his tantrum at the reward was justified... I thought maybe he had a bad team and that's why he was disgruntled and annoyed.
...But then Season 18 happened and I found out no matter where you put Trev in, he isn't going to be super successful and his team is going to belittle him. I am sure he is not the worst guy in the world, but we had 2 different occasions of Trev getting hated and I am starting to think it's not the team.
Well, 1 team had Russel, a bully and 1 of the worst and most hated contestants of the HK history.
Another team had Scotley, a manchild and a bully, who was extremely unprofessional, called Trev a "baby girl" e.t.c. And other teammates were laughing about it. Yes, Trevor performed poorly, but i never seen how other teams would just start bully somebody who failed a challenge.
I still think that Trev just got the worst luck possible, when it comes to his teams. Doesn't make him the best, or even really that good, he struggled alot, but i believe he is overhated and had to do with alot of bs, so i kinda sympathy with him.
Trev to me feels kinda like a if not lovable than a likable loser. He at least had that moment in 8 when he was the only one of his team not to be thrown out. But yeah probably realistically not a black jacket guy in almost any other season.
Some people just are unlucky and get used as scapegoats by others.
I literally watch so much random Hell’s Kitchen clips whenever I’m bored and I love video essays, thank you for creating perfect content.
I like to give Siobhan some leeway in season 7, cause not only was Benjamin hounding her personally, for whatever reason, he put her down for her recipes in challenges(specifically thr burger challenge where Benjamin confronted her in private and told her privately her burger sucked and she has no palette) and such, and im not surprised if that put her down mentally and just give up. Benjamin was such a jerk, and still sort of was in season 17, but he definitely got more quiet that season.
That really ticked me off. Especially when he made it a point to do that AFTER the challenge. I was like "Boy! Chef Ramsey and 2 other AWARD WINNING CHEFS said it was great, so sit your piddly butt down and zip it!" I totally thought he just needed someone to take outall his frustrations on and chose her because she was really young and not experienced.
another fire content. Suggestion on future hk contents: What made season __ special? Why Season __ is underrated?
the only person that i like from season 16 blue team was koop, he was literally the only likeable one, he was a good cook, and a pretty good fighter too.
Hot take: Elise is kinda funny but that’s only because I’ve watched season 9 like 5 times
most people actually like elise, including her fellow contestants!
Elise can make bad attitude funny, unlike a certain bratty, bitchy, immature, annoying blonde haired cow.
I totally agree with you about Anthony and Michael from the 11 Blue team. There are some people that get way more chances than others (Robyn, Josh and Trev for example on both seasons they were in) and Zack definitely had way more opportunities than he was deserving of. I don’t know if it was truly because of the drama factor or if Chef Ramsey just actually sees something in some of these chefs but Michael going home after one bad service and Zack outlasting the far more consistent Anthony always bothered me, even when it was first on TV.
I think it's more because of drama that these bad chefs stay longer than good chefs because it would boost ratings and get audiences to hate them and it has worked quite a lot
7:24 this alone made him the most annoying man in Hell’s Kitchen history
I think regardless of who the worst are Sterling was and always will be 100
Jay went on to work not only on Hell’s Kitchen but bar rescue teaching bad chiefs
Barbie: breathe
Kimmie, Robyn and Tiffany (also Dana): she needs to go smh
Yeah Dana was a two-faced BITCH, dude. If you’re just watching clips rather than the full days and service, you don’t get the full picture. She seemed lit initially, but I saw her sneaky shit eventually.
The fact that Elise is still alive when she works with other people in an environment full of sharp objects is a fricking miracle.
“ZACKIE WACKIE” 😂
Zacky Wacky? Get out!
But Sebastian predicted it lmao
Hell’s Kitchen drinking game: take a drink every time Ramsay says GET OUT!!!
Season 10 was so wild and full of drama. I loved it lmao.
I’ve heard people say “Barbie is a villain in a likable reality tv way, Elise is a villian in she’s just a dick way” and I stand by that
The only likeable guys on that S16 Blue Team were Koop, Aaron, and Devin.
Aaron went too early.
Don't forget Pat! His stay was brief but the dude seemed nice
@@cd06tgc79 he wasn’t that bad. Matt should have gone opening night for his bad attitude and making feeble excuses.
@@jamesrobert680 I agree with u haha Pat should've stayed 100%. But then again it's fairly obvious why they'd keep matt around, gotta get those ratings up lol
@@cd06tgc79 deffo ratings. I don’t buy the reason that Pat surrendering control to Paulie. Matt’s lack of respect even for ex military far outweighed that.
Nice job, i can't find quality hk vids anywhere else on youtube except 4 yours.
Thanks Ishan! Yep, trying to fill a missing void here on UA-cam!
Other worst teams you didn't mention was season 12 the worst blue team season 1 worst blue team season 4 worst blue team season 6 worst red team and season 3 worst red team and last but not least season 18 worst red team
Season 3 red team was nicknamed Hell's Bitches.
I'm surprised Season 6's Red Team wasn't mentioned. They only won ONE out of ten services.
Season 10's Blue Team only won one service too.
Not to mention Season 14's Red Team got kicked out of five of the first seven services.
No wonder Meghan threatened to quit.
Season 10 blue team was able to win the one and only dinner service after they screwed up Marines wellington as the table agreed to change to NY Strip and red team screwed up the firefighters table in the dinner service.
It's forgotten because everyone on season 6 red team were likeable and had strong chefs like Ariel and tennile
I really can’t imagine being someone who feels totally comfortable being filmed for television laying on a couch under a blanket with someone in general, let alone being weeks away from getting married and doing that. I just think it makes people look trashy, like really you want that impression of you on tv? That you’re easy? Like why would you want that image out there? I would be mortified if I was on a show and the cameras caught me even casually laying on a couch, looking my most pudgiest, at the most unflattering angle imaginable. Like that’s not cute…
Im never gonna get over Raj making it past Curtis. I know he wasn’t great, but he was young from a lower income area, he worked 10x harder than a lot of his team, he just deserved another chance p, especially over Raj
I guess the reason for casting so many jerks in the blue team in S16 was to boost drama. But In the end, it was just too much.
Flynn Masters: "Fran was a Karen in the kitchen"
Me: 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I think there was definitely a race thing involved with Barbie in s10, whether the other chefs realized it or not. However, she did not do herself any favors with that bs of waking everyone up early and stomping her feet. If I was already getting limited sleep and someone purposefully woke me up out of spite I would be super annoyed with them too. Could even affect my opinion of them throughout my time with them.
S16 Blue team is what happens when you try to allow 4chaners to compete in a cooking competition
The season 6 red team is also a sneaky candidate for the worst. They only won 1 service! They also were super petty towards Tennille and Suzanne, fair or not.
At least they won some challenges
Never got the Barbie hate in S10. Wish Elise that kind of treatment instead.
I didn't either. She would do my head a little bit, though at times.
To be frank, Elise during the meat grilling challenge grilled all of the meat and got the lowest score for her team and blamed Carrie, her teammate for the challenge, when she wouldn't let her do anything.
Or not picking Carrie's dish that would of won them a challenge because to her it wasn't pretty unlike the chosen dish that looked pretty but tasted awful, something Carrie's dish was the opposite as her dish tasted good and could of given them a perfect score even Ramsay and Carrie agreed with each other when Elise refused to taste Carrie's dish
Honorable mention: Season 9 Red Team
I know nothing about Hell's Kitchen but this was a great watch
Zacky Wacky is my favorite 😂🤣💀
Raj is a person who opens a locked treasure chest thinking he's getting his key back
"What was the production team of Hell's Kitchen thinking putting all these douchebags on one team?"
Come on man you've watched more of this show than me, you know they're chaos gremlins.
1:04 yeah that's the Elise Harris for you in a nutshell
S11 John was a beast, he nailed his dishes on the challenges and I don't think he had a single bad service, he was my contender of winning that season, the fact that he didn't floored me.
