What was your favorite moment of the season, and what do you think about season 21 in general? Also, even though the season is over with, the videos aren't slowing down any time soon! New short every Thursday + Video every Sunday!! 👊
One of my favorite moments of S21, was when the final 3 (Dafne, Alejandro and Alex) were convinced that they were going to be cooking their final challenge in one of the banquet rooms. It made me die of laughter.
My favorite moment is the taco challenge. Danny Trejo was a guest judge and knowing him because of his voice acting of Umberto in Vice City and Vice City Stories, it was amazing.
alex winning was the best moment all season dude. he deserved it more than anyone and when i saw his door open i screamed with joy then started crying. when we were first introduced to him, i was like "yeah hes definatelly making it to the finals" he was an outstanding leader, he could cook, and his personality was lovable. he knew how to control a kitchen and how to control his temper. im over the moon happy for him!!!
Because the quality of this season is poor Alex would be 18th-19th best chef if we put all winner chefs compare to each other He will just better Paul(Season 9) and Nona(Season 8) and equal as Christina(Season 4) and Ariel(Season 15)
@@AlessandroChiarelliIf Cheyenne didn't get the ATV accident, she'll make it to top 2 with Alex, now imagine the battle of the last surviving 40's something group and the youngest contestant of the season as Cheyene was 21 and the youngest of them all.
@@AlessandroChiarelli The Reason was because Daphne did an Sneak Attack Assassination kill on Cheyenne where she completely dragged their name through the dirt completely and for some reason. it got cut out but Cheyenne said this during an interview. and at that point its like, with everything laid out. its sort of hard to recover from all of that
Probably the most amazing thing about this was that even Alex was self-aware with the fact that he knew Gordon typically picks younger chefs to be winners (based on post interviews he's done), so the fact his door opened was a genuine shock to him. Well deserved and easily one of the best winners in HK's run in general.
As someone who has lost everything due to Covid, I'm so happy Alex won. It seems like a sort of a silent justice, that when you close up shop into something not your fault, new opportunities always arise. After he said the story about his restaurant closed due to Covid, I instantly connected with him formerly from the industry. Alex had a natural charisma about him that the 20s something liked him, even wanted him on their team at one point, and both teams gravited to him, regarding him as a mentor.
i was a waitress for Alex about 3 years ago. and though you’d be surprised to know he is not a people person, he is an incredible chef. every night for him was a night to make new business connections, get his name out, and impress those who had the ability to help him climb the ladder. he’s smart and he’s unmatched at what he does. very very well deserved.
He's basically reverse Jon from Season 11. They both are the sole survivors of worst group and made it to Black Jacket (For Alex the 40's group and Blue Team since they only won 3 dinner services, 1 win fairly and the other 2 are joint winnings) but while Jon was flusterred on final 4, Alex is still strong no matter what.
Look, no matter what, we ALL had this feeling in the back of our heads like “Eh, Alex is great, but the whole age factor is gonna make Gordon pick Dafne” I freakin shouted and cheered when Alex walked through that door.
Honestly, Gordon has started to "flip the script" since Season 15. -He chose Ariel who is the villain on Season 15 as the winner and Ariel is one of the people who is unlikable on that season along with Jackie, Dannie, and Frank. -Season 16, He chose Ryan who at first is shy and has a small voice to be the winner. We thought it's gonna be Heidi who's gonna win since she dominated the season of the most but Heidi didn't even make it to the final. -In Season 17, he made a random CEO judge the final dish and chose Benjamin's Dish over Nick's dish in the end as he chose Michelle's dish at first. Michelle has been up and down in Season 17 and either Nick or Benjamin deserve to win -Mia is The Challenge Queen in Season 18 as she won a lot of challenge but she lost to Ariel who is the last Veteran -Season 19, we all thought Declan's gonna be in the final but he got nominated fairly by Wolgang Punk which is an honor. We thought Mary Lou's gonna win since she was 28 at that season beat Kori who was 37 at that time but nope, it's the other way around. -After 6 seasons in a row when the winners are always females, we finally get a male winner again which is Trenton in Season 20. Trenton is also quiet most of the time until he's finally showing his true power starting from mid season and dominate in Black Jacket rounds and made Kiya jealous most of the time. -Finally, we got the first winner in Hell's Kitchen who is 40 years old which is Alex in Season 21. It would be fair if he competed with Alejandro in the finals.
Dafne showed a lot of improvement but although she did have a strong performance on the pass, she was not at Alex’s level. Alex was miles ahead of anybody else in both cooking abilities and leadership.
When it came down to Alex and Dafne i was SO WORRIED they were settin my boy up for another HK letdown. I was so happy when his door opened, he truly earned this W and deserves all the credit, he had some VERY tough competition
Cheyenne said on Reddit that she was still wasn't feeling well during the black jacket service, and that would definitely explain her abrupt crash and burn. I like to imagine the black jacket curse is so powerful it sent a cosmic force to crash her car before service even started
Ever since Alex talked about how covid took his business away, I have been rooting for him. And when he walked through that door during the finale, I legit teared up. After everything covid took from him, he deserved to win. I feel like he had a lot of that Dave energy where we loved him consistently through the run and he ended up winning. 💜
At the very beginning, I thought Alex was too obvious to win and HK doesn't want to make it too obvious for obvious reasons. I thought it would be Vlad but I realize it might not work when Ramsay called him out for not responding
My favorite Season 21 moment was when Gordon eliminated Vlad for mistaking a cake tester for a meat thermometer. That has to be one of the most humiliating ways to get eliminated, especially for a steakhouse chef.
I don't think he mistook the two. I've heard that a quick way to check meat temperatures is to use a cake tester and pressing it against your wrist after holding it to the meat. It was something I looked up after I saw the episode, because I was surprised by that myself. My guess is that HK bans thermometers (after what we saw with Barbie on Season 10 and Matthew having to sneak one in on Season 20), so Vlad probably thought he'd do the cake tester thing. But as we saw, it blew up in his face.
Yeah I agree, that was pretty funny. It's honestly the only major thing I can remember about the middle third of the season, as it was pretty forgettable.
Abe's elimination really got to me, especially when Brett should've gone home. However, I absolutely loved this season, and Alex may be one of my favorite winners due to his story coming into HK. Having to close your business a few days before the competition to have an opportunity to work for one of the most iconic chefs in the world shows passion, because of how hard a decision that is. So glad he won, and was the first 40 or older winner as well.
I personally don't like abe, he's aggressive to alex, and sommer. Sommer told him to leave her alone cause she got traded with punishment pass but he didn't like it and came after sommer soon after. Someone who is like 12 or 15 years younger than him.
I think Cheyanne and Sommer's car accident was what really stunned me this season. I kinda wonder if that's what caused Cheyanne's crash and burn in that night's dinner service. Even though both of them were unharmed, car accidents are scary no matter the severity. She might've still been shaken up from it and I think that probably affected her performance.
Cheyenne said on Reddit she still had a headache during service and wasn't all there, so I definitely think that's what caused her to crash and burn so hard. It's a shame. Her and Steve are what makes me convinced the black jacket curse is some kind of cosmic force in HK lol, that was some insanely bad luck
@@AlessandroChiarelli Dafne ended up dragging Cheyenne's Name through the dirt in order to survive and while not being in the best headspace and Gordon Not Realizing how Inexperienced you are at the heels of a disastrous service. Im pretty sure thats how she survived.
My dad cried when Alex won (because as we all know) it’s always the young people who win. I had never seen him so invested in a winner. He didn’t even know why he was crying, but later he said it’s a testament to “with age comes wisdom.”
The F5 was not the only time Alex made a mistake during service. He did so at the F10 as well, serving cold crab cakes once, but he rebounded so quickly that of course it played no factor in whether he was nominated or not, even with his team having to nominate someone that round. And as if a 2nd mistake, especially one that small, would really be a demerit against him. Even with me pointing that out, he was still the most consistent chef of that season, as well as one of the most consistent chefs in all of HK.
One of my fave moments is not anything big but it’s a really great one. Right after Alex gets his black jacket he goes out into the hall, faces the wall and just lets out a huge sigh of relief. The man who’s the most confident and dominant chef of the season was clearly nervous. It was cool to see him vulnerable like that. Just very humanizing.
It was really tough watching Abe tearing up while getting eliminated. They really tried to paint him as a villain who no one liked at the beginning of the episode and then he killed the challenge with Danny Trejo. For me, I liked Abe and how much passion he had
Alex REALLY stood out throughout the season. You could tell he would make it far in the competition. As we've seen with competent contestants like him in the past seasons, it would've still been anyone's game. But despite his one mistake during one of the dinner services and shaky final service, he didn't cave under pressure and bounced back.
“ When you’re cooking for your life, every detail matters. One overly sweet purée got Ileana sent away.” “Abe’s performance tonight was more like a C-. With only the best chefs left in this competition, his grades just don’t make the cut.” “ It’s so sad that on Trenton and Macee’s wedding day, I had to say ‘I don’t’ to both Billy and Alyssa.” “As the youngest chef in this competition, Cheyenne came a long way. Unfortunately for her, the ride ends a few stops short of Atlantic City.”
Alex is a top 5 Hell’s Kitchen winner of all time, also Alejandro was my favorite contestant this season, I loved his ambition and willingness to get out of the comfort zone.
Alex definitely deserved the win but ngl I was really bummed Sakari didn't make the black jackets. Definitely believed he would've made at least final 3 if he did
I wished Sakari had made it to black jackets, I expected him to go far after seeing his impressive performances after the first few episodes, but then he just crumbled under the pressure when it came to the ultimate test.
One thing I hope HK does in future seasons is give the runner-up enough storyline and character so that we care when they make it to the finale. It’s done that a few times, with runners-up like Mia and Mary-Lou getting enough screentime and storyline along with the eventual winner. Yet with both Megan last season and Dafne on this one, both sorta felt like glorified background players up until they get close to making the finale. I’d like to care about both finalists the whole time, not have it be a case where we’re like “oh yea, you’re here!” when we see them make it pretty far. Both Dafne and Megan had virtually no storyline throughout the majority of the season, and you can just tell the other finalist was going to win with how much more storyline and screentime they got in comparison.
After rewatching some of season 20 I actually noticed Megan standing out a lot, although she did always feel like the runner-up, until Trenton picked up his game and steamrolled the competition around black jackets time, I would have considered her the favourite. Completely agree with Dafne though, she was kind of always just there and meh.
I haven't watched Season 21, so I don't know much about Dafne. But, I agree with you, Megan Season 20 doesn't have her own storyline. Mia is challenge queen, has a rivalry with Kanae, Scotley, Heather and also being objectived by the males since she's hot (Oh yeah, She's also Puerto Rican, remember?) Mary-Lou has a cute relationship with Cody and is the Queen of Confessional Room as she's always making funny comments on camera and also because she's bubbly and less problematic Meanwhile, Megan is uh.... talking like Valley Girl most of the time? And being too nice and chill to everyone even Chef Christina told her to stop being nice.
@@matthewhalsall9008 And add with her performance, she is consider as one of the weakest runner up in 21 seasons(Still miles better than Virgina(Season 2) and Russell(Season 8)
A better example of this than Megan would be Benjamin in All Stars. He was a major character in S7 for all the wrong reasons, and yet his return didn’t give us much to go off of. He did speak plenty, but it added very little compared to the others, and it became pretty obvious he wasn’t winning, especially against Michelle.
Well, in Tenille's situation, she had a breakdown because of how much she got nominated 2 or 3 in a row. Chef Ramsay noticed she's frustrated and let her going rage and telling her feelings. Which is totally unexpected because that episode came out few episodes after "You know who it is, he can speak for himself." As much as I found Ileana's staying is bullshit, at least she didn't cry while begging to stay like Jessica in Season 12. But, seeing her got eliminated at Cook For Your Life challenge is totally ironic.
Watching Alex never get mad even when contestants would be yelling in his face examples Tara and Abe he kept his composure at all times at it was really impressive
It's always the wedding episode which is always the worst. Remember the duck incident from Season 3 where the Red Team presented an overvooked duck to a wedding couple and also that episode made Melissa crashed and burned as she sabotaged her team 4 times in one episode? Or Season 15, Chef Andi's wedding where everybody just sucked and got kicked out and made poor Hassan got eliminated? Also, Frank made 2 dishes just because he doesn't trust Manda who just moved to Blue Team and convinced everyone to drop her dish.
Some honorable mentions are seeing Trenton come back and contestants from Season 19 and 20 there as well. Let’s not forget Jon from season 11 came back as one of Gordon’s sous chef.
I think going forward, when a new season is airing, you should do a video recap after an episode airs. A lot of strong chefs this season, especially those final 6. Alex was definitely my favorite from the start and proved himself well. I was worried he was going to be overlooked due to his age in the end. I would like to see another All-Star season with returns from these strong chefs from the past couple of seasons. I think it would also be interesting to see a Battle of the Winners where former winners (and maybe runner ups) compete for an ultimate title.
A second all stars season won’t be a bad idea, as long as they mind who are they’re gonna cast since the first one was a dumpster fire due to the ones who’ve been casted
I'd like a Battle of the Winners and Runner Ups too, but I feel like Jay and Christina would be at an unfair advantage due to all their experience as HK Sous Chefs (not to mention Christina's work in Ramsay's own restaurants). If they DID compete in a season like that, it's basically a given that they'll be in the top 5 with, I predict, Alex, Dave and Megan. I think leaving them out of the competition and them remaining Sous Chefs would be better for the first reason I stated here.
alex truly is one of the best chefs to compete on this show. i feel like everyone could see his win coming from a mile away. also he’s fucking hilarious lol
I would argue that the wedding dinner service was much worse for the fact that it was the wedding night of a previous winner with chefs from two previous badass seasons. And it was so bad that it turned into a double elimination
You forgot Chef Andi's wedding on Season 15 where everybody just sucked at that night and got Hassan eliminated and the infamous wedding duck incident on Season 3 and also becoming Mellisa's downward spiral.
@@margarethmichelina5146 even with those two, I would say this one was the worst one given the amount of horrific mistakes. Plus the only real time Chef Ramsay decides to make a double elimination is when a service is really bad
@@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152I think part of the reason why a double elimination. With the nominees being Vald, Billy and Alejandro, none of them 3 were eliminated the previous episode and oh boy I think Ramsay probably regretted keeping Billy around for 1 more episode.happened A double elimination happened because nobody went home the previous episode so Ramsay had to make up time. Despite the nominees being Vald, Billy and Alejandro, neither of them 3 went home and man I can probably think that Ramsay regretted keeping Billy for 1 more episode
i love hell’s kitchen but it’s rare that i actually get *emotional* when i watch it, but when alex won the season i did get rly choked up. seeing him win after losing his restaurant to covid was incredibly moving
Something I noted when watching this video; You can tell that they record the confessionals for the chefs at different points within the filming of the season. If you look at Brett before his confessional (about 3:10 in the video), you can see he appears clean shaven during the Signature Dish challenge, but when it cuts to the confessional, he's suddenly sporting a mustache and a bit of a beard.
One of my favorite moments, for dumb reasons, was Tara surviving the cook for your life challenge. The way they promoted it the episode prior, and then watchinf the actual episode, reminded me of the simpsons meme where the classroom waits on Bart to say something stupid in class before cheering. No hate on Tara, because she stunned me, especially for someone who was suffering from brain injury prior, i just found that funny cause of the way it played out.
I think Tara got way too much shit this season, from both her competitors and the fandom. She can be a bit immature, but I don't blame her when she suffered such a bad brain injury that she had to relearn how to run. That's gotta fuck someone up.
@@ISilverxStar yeah, i sympathized that she felt targeted by everybody, both in the 40s group, and in red team, but that specific moment, the way it played out just made me stupidly laugh. I actually enjoyed her personality in the groups over other favorites.
I was rooting for Alejandro but Alex 100% deserved it. He did incredible all season and he had a great personality with the skills to back it up. I am so happy for him. 😊😊❤❤
Watching this season when it aired, I thought Ramsay could possibly end up doing a double crowning this season, with how both Alejandro and Alex mopped the floor with the competition. He’s never done that in HK, and considering the talent level those two displayed, it could’ve been justified. And yet as soon as they had the five-dish relay at the final three, and Alejandro got sniped out (especially with how much they praised Dafne’s stuff), I sorta knew it was Alex’s to lose at that point.
@AlessandroChiarelli completely agree. Sad for Alejandro, but ecstatic for Alex. I'm glad this latest season came down to the best 2, fortunately, both men.
I think after Zeus got bitten by a Great White Shark, his trauma came back to haunt him in Hell's Kitchen. So it's probably the best for the poor guy tbh, as he straight-up admitted he didn't want this.
Like countless others, I was on the Alex bandwagon from the start. One of the most consistently well-performing and likable contestants in HK history for sure...right up in the top tier with people like Dave from Season 6. I had a funny feeling he would go all the way despite all the great talent on this season he was up against, and I'm glad my gut was correct. Heck, I'd make the journey to Ramsay's restaurant (on the opposite side of the US from where I live) where he'll be working just for him!
I'm really glad Alex win as he deserves it but at the same time I feel later seasons getting winner's edit by giving them a lot of screen time in the confessionals (Alex is entertaining though), so from S17 the winner seems really obvious. I hope next few seasons the winners get not as many confessionals. Oh also for this season I read a title post on reddit that said from the first episode Gordon only follows Alex on insta, so ppl felt kinda spoiled
Fun fact: Brett is the first contestant in Hell's Kitchen who got switched team 4 times beating Autumn Season 7, Trev Season 8 and Mia Season 18 as the contestants who got switched team 3 times
With Alex going from having difficulty in the past to becoming the first person to win Hell’s Kitchen at the age of 40 we can all learn Alex is becoming the greatest chefs ever
Damn Dafne and Cheyenne had their worst service on black jackets. And the irony is that Dafne wanted Cheyenne to stay more than Tara, and after elimination I’m sure Dafne regrets wanting Cheyenne during black jacket challenge. Best kick out of the season right there!
Personally, my favorite was how Vlad got eliminated for using a cake tester instead of a meat thermometer. Definitely one of the moments in hells kitchen where a chef doesn't think in the moment
I don’t understand how Dafne made it to the final 2, should’ve been Alejandro and Alex, and I would’ve been fine with either of them winning. Happy overall Alex won
Tbh I felt like Alejandro was too inconsistent over the course of the season. I suspect Cheyenne was final 2 material and the finale could have been her vs Alex, but after the final five crash and burn that sent her home, Ramsay’s options were a bit limited
@@saberthecoolestBoth Alejandro and Dafne kinda had a similar run on this season. Both were strong but had their fair share of inconsistent moments. Yeah at that point, neither of them 2 or even Sommer were gonna top Alex. The only one who could’ve came close to Alex as you said was Cheyenne as she dominated that red team 80% of the time. It was just unfortunate that she crashed pretty hard at the final 5 on the fish station out of nowhere and with her getting eliminated, this gave Alex win opportunity at that point.
Alex was definitely one of the most dominant chefs of all time. He stood head and shoulders above the other 40-year-olds, and one could argue even above the 20-year-olds as well. He was a clear stand out from day 1 and was never chosen for nomination by his team.
Dave mostly always sucks at challenge like the time he trusted dumbass Andy to use Apple Compote on Calorie Dessert and got laughed by Chef Ramsay because the dish looked pathetic. Meanwhile, Alex and Meghan are challenge beasts but poor Meghan, her teammates mostly sucks and she has to face a lot of punishments.
For some reason I got burnt out of watching hells kitchens when this season came out. but my predictions was Cheyenne winning because she seemed confident and competent. then I saw a video of a reward causing her to go home and I'm like. God Fucking Damnit
Alex was definitely the most consistent chef, probably in a while, no low lows or ridiculous highs that made him look bad, just cruise control at being great
I think this is the first season ever that had a wedding, let alone a reception where they couldn't even finish the service. There was that one point back in season 3 where the red team served the bride and groom for the food tasting just a simple duck breast. If Gordon felt embarrassed then, I'll bet he was even more embarrassed when either team couldn't finish the service for the wedding reception for the previous season winner. I would feel so embarrassed as well.
Jon s11 making an appearance had to crack my top 5. I got so emotional seeing how he's aged. He's a fucking man now!! Just wow! Sakari leaving was quite the blow but damn was I upset when Alejandro got 3rd.i really think he deserved to go against Alex. But Alejandro was great in the finale and I was stoked to see Alex win. He was just one of the more deserving chefs ever!
@@AlessandroChiarelliCheyenne could’ve been in the top 2 had she not stumbled pretty hard at the final 5 on the fish station. I mean her performance was way worse than Dafne that service unfortunately. After her elimination, it was pretty clear and obvious that Alex would wipe the floor with likes of Dafne, Alejandro and Sommer.
@@rayewaddell9668 Dafne was still the worst chef of top 5 along with Sommer and should have gone over Cheyenne. Arguably she shouldn't have been in BJ in the first place
@@rayewaddell9668 Alejandro was much more dominant than Alex in BJ services but he was somewhat inconsistent, Dafne of course was not great at all during BJ and Sommer had a slow start.
It’s not that important but just for the sake of clarity, Alex actually had 1 service mistake prior to the Final 5. He sent a cold crab cake in one of the earlier services but fixed it immediately. Still though, 2 service mistakes all season, excellent leadership and consistency in both challenges and services put him in my Top 3 contestants in HK history.
I had no issues with Ileana staying after the wing challenge. I don't like these pre-dinner service eliminations, and I thought that getting eliminated for not devising a good chicken wing would be a pretty lousy way to get booted. I feel like Gordon kept her because she stuck up for herself. I also feel that if they do one of these challenges again, and the person he picks to go insists they stay, Gordon won't be so merciful.
Honestly the only one that I would keep would be the cook for your life challenge. but how Seasons 12, 14, 20 & 22 did them. because that challenge was designed to weed out the weaker chefs that has been sliding by the competition compared to the chefs that had been so much more dominate and testing their will to see if they deserve to stay over the competition or not. The Rest can go fuck off for all I care

Same! My head was saying Daphne and my heart was saying Alex the whole time due Gordon wanting someone younger. So happy Alex won!
Because the quality of this season is poor
Alex would be 18th-19th best chef if we put all winner chefs compare to each other
He will just better Paul(Season 9) and Nona(Season 8) and equal as Christina(Season 4) and Ariel(Season 15)

Wow, that's awesome! Even though I don't know him personally like you do, I could tell just from watching him on TV that he's the real deal!
Alex imo is one of the best winners and kudos to him for being the first 40 year old winner.
right. It's about time we had a 40 or older winner like him and not just a young gun. No offense to the young guns out there
He's basically reverse Jon from Season 11.

@@daniellerose1114 Imagine him and Trenton in a hypothetical final 2.

@@ItsAaronsaccount05 Trenton will clearly smash him easily
Look, no matter what, we ALL had this feeling in the back of our heads like “Eh, Alex is great, but the whole age factor is gonna make Gordon pick Dafne”
I freakin shouted and cheered when Alex walked through that door.
I believe this now marks the first time that back to back men have won Hells kitchen since season five and six (Danny and Dave respectively)
well he is only 40. 40 and 49 are VERY different
I was getting worried too, simply becaise of season 17 whiplash. Not to hate on Michelle that season, but it shouldve been Nick against Benjamin.
Honestly, Gordon has started to "flip the script" since Season 15.
-He chose Ariel who is the villain on Season 15 as the winner and Ariel is one of the people who is unlikable on that season along with Jackie, Dannie, and Frank.
-Season 16, He chose Ryan who at first is shy and has a small voice to be the winner. We thought it's gonna be Heidi who's gonna win since she dominated the season of the most but Heidi didn't even make it to the final.
-In Season 17, he made a random CEO judge the final dish and chose Benjamin's Dish over Nick's dish in the end as he chose Michelle's dish at first. Michelle has been up and down in Season 17 and either Nick or Benjamin deserve to win
-Mia is The Challenge Queen in Season 18 as she won a lot of challenge but she lost to Ariel who is the last Veteran
-Season 19, we all thought Declan's gonna be in the final but he got nominated fairly by Wolgang Punk which is an honor. We thought Mary Lou's gonna win since she was 28 at that season beat Kori who was 37 at that time but nope, it's the other way around.
-After 6 seasons in a row when the winners are always females, we finally get a male winner again which is Trenton in Season 20. Trenton is also quiet most of the time until he's finally showing his true power starting from mid season and dominate in Black Jacket rounds and made Kiya jealous most of the time.
-Finally, we got the first winner in Hell's Kitchen who is 40 years old which is Alex in Season 21. It would be fair if he competed with Alejandro in the finals.
Dafne showed a lot of improvement but although she did have a strong performance on the pass, she was not at Alex’s level. Alex was miles ahead of anybody else in both cooking abilities and leadership.
Gordon: "You're eliminated."
This girl: "No"
Gordon: "Understandable. Have a great day"
When it came down to Alex and Dafne i was SO WORRIED they were settin my boy up for another HK letdown. I was so happy when his door opened, he truly earned this W and deserves all the credit, he had some VERY tough competition
I'm glad I wasn't the only who thought they were gonna play him
Cheyenne said on Reddit that she was still wasn't feeling well during the black jacket service, and that would definitely explain her abrupt crash and burn. I like to imagine the black jacket curse is so powerful it sent a cosmic force to crash her car before service even started
Ever since Alex talked about how covid took his business away, I have been rooting for him.
And when he walked through that door during the finale, I legit teared up. After everything covid took from him, he deserved to win. I feel like he had a lot of that Dave energy where we loved him consistently through the run and he ended up winning. 💜
At the very beginning, I thought Alex was too obvious to win and HK doesn't want to make it too obvious for obvious reasons. I thought it would be Vlad but I realize it might not work when Ramsay called him out for not responding
My favorite Season 21 moment was when Gordon eliminated Vlad for mistaking a cake tester for a meat thermometer. That has to be one of the most humiliating ways to get eliminated, especially for a steakhouse chef.
I don't think he mistook the two. I've heard that a quick way to check meat temperatures is to use a cake tester and pressing it against your wrist after holding it to the meat. It was something I looked up after I saw the episode, because I was surprised by that myself. My guess is that HK bans thermometers (after what we saw with Barbie on Season 10 and Matthew having to sneak one in on Season 20), so Vlad probably thought he'd do the cake tester thing. But as we saw, it blew up in his face.
Yeah I agree, that was pretty funny. It's honestly the only major thing I can remember about the middle third of the season, as it was pretty forgettable.
Well at least he redeemed himself in the finale service
It was intentional and from what I’ve read some chefs even prefer using cake testers. But I’m guessing Gordon isn’t one of them 😅
"It's called a cake tester for a reason. It tests cakes, not steaks. Vlad, that was bad."
Abe's elimination really got to me, especially when Brett should've gone home. However, I absolutely loved this season, and Alex may be one of my favorite winners due to his story coming into HK. Having to close your business a few days before the competition to have an opportunity to work for one of the most iconic chefs in the world shows passion, because of how hard a decision that is. So glad he won, and was the first 40 or older winner as well.
I personally don't like abe, he's aggressive to alex, and sommer. Sommer told him to leave her alone cause she got traded with punishment pass but he didn't like it and came after sommer soon after. Someone who is like 12 or 15 years younger than him.
It made no sense to make Blue team lose that service... It should have been a joint win and Brett going home
I think Cheyanne and Sommer's car accident was what really stunned me this season. I kinda wonder if that's what caused Cheyanne's crash and burn in that night's dinner service. Even though both of them were unharmed, car accidents are scary no matter the severity. She might've still been shaken up from it and I think that probably affected her performance.
Dafne should have gone, not only because she didn't have that car accident, but because she was weaker than Cheyenne
Cheyenne said on Reddit she still had a headache during service and wasn't all there, so I definitely think that's what caused her to crash and burn so hard. It's a shame. Her and Steve are what makes me convinced the black jacket curse is some kind of cosmic force in HK lol, that was some insanely bad luck
@@Commenter839 Dafne should have gone
@@AlessandroChiarelli Dafne ended up dragging Cheyenne's Name through the dirt in order to survive and while not being in the best headspace and Gordon Not Realizing how Inexperienced you are at the heels of a disastrous service. Im pretty sure thats how she survived.
My dad cried when Alex won (because as we all know) it’s always the young people who win. I had never seen him so invested in a winner. He didn’t even know why he was crying, but later he said it’s a testament to “with age comes wisdom.”
The F5 was not the only time Alex made a mistake during service. He did so at the F10 as well, serving cold crab cakes once, but he rebounded so quickly that of course it played no factor in whether he was nominated or not, even with his team having to nominate someone that round. And as if a 2nd mistake, especially one that small, would really be a demerit against him. Even with me pointing that out, he was still the most consistent chef of that season, as well as one of the most consistent chefs in all of HK.
One of my fave moments is not anything big but it’s a really great one. Right after Alex gets his black jacket he goes out into the hall, faces the wall and just lets out a huge sigh of relief. The man who’s the most confident and dominant chef of the season was clearly nervous. It was cool to see him vulnerable like that. Just very humanizing.
Ramsay really said “understandable, have a nice day” to Ileana
It was really tough watching Abe tearing up while getting eliminated. They really tried to paint him as a villain who no one liked at the beginning of the episode and then he killed the challenge with Danny Trejo. For me, I liked Abe and how much passion he had
Alex is definitely an example of a "powerhouse" chef, like Dave, Will, and Meghan
Alex REALLY stood out throughout the season. You could tell he would make it far in the competition. As we've seen with competent contestants like him in the past seasons, it would've still been anyone's game. But despite his one mistake during one of the dinner services and shaky final service, he didn't cave under pressure and bounced back.
“ When you’re cooking for your life, every detail matters. One overly sweet purée got Ileana sent away.”
“Abe’s performance tonight was more like a C-. With only the best chefs left in this competition, his grades just don’t make the cut.”
“ It’s so sad that on Trenton and Macee’s wedding day, I had to say ‘I don’t’ to both Billy and Alyssa.”
“As the youngest chef in this competition, Cheyenne came a long way. Unfortunately for her, the ride ends a few stops short of Atlantic City.”
I've suggested a video of the best cut quotes from all seasons
Don’t forget this one: “It’s called cake tester for a reason, it tests cakes not steaks. Vlad, that was bad.”
Alex is a top 5 Hell’s Kitchen winner of all time, also Alejandro was my favorite contestant this season, I loved his ambition and willingness to get out of the comfort zone.
Alex definitely deserved the win but ngl I was really bummed Sakari didn't make the black jackets. Definitely believed he would've made at least final 3 if he did
Sakari's downfall was a tough one to watch as he was my personal fav for most of the season.
@@Thegamebasement same here. Dude was one if the strongest chef and a slightly undercooked pork did him in. Hate to see it
I wished Sakari had made it to black jackets, I expected him to go far after seeing his impressive performances after the first few episodes, but then he just crumbled under the pressure when it came to the ultimate test.
One thing I hope HK does in future seasons is give the runner-up enough storyline and character so that we care when they make it to the finale. It’s done that a few times, with runners-up like Mia and Mary-Lou getting enough screentime and storyline along with the eventual winner. Yet with both Megan last season and Dafne on this one, both sorta felt like glorified background players up until they get close to making the finale. I’d like to care about both finalists the whole time, not have it be a case where we’re like “oh yea, you’re here!” when we see them make it pretty far. Both Dafne and Megan had virtually no storyline throughout the majority of the season, and you can just tell the other finalist was going to win with how much more storyline and screentime they got in comparison.
After rewatching some of season 20 I actually noticed Megan standing out a lot, although she did always feel like the runner-up, until Trenton picked up his game and steamrolled the competition around black jackets time, I would have considered her the favourite. Completely agree with Dafne though, she was kind of always just there and meh.
I haven't watched Season 21, so I don't know much about Dafne. But, I agree with you, Megan Season 20 doesn't have her own storyline.
Mia is challenge queen, has a rivalry with Kanae, Scotley, Heather and also being objectived by the males since she's hot (Oh yeah, She's also Puerto Rican, remember?)
Mary-Lou has a cute relationship with Cody and is the Queen of Confessional Room as she's always making funny comments on camera and also because she's bubbly and less problematic
Meanwhile, Megan is uh.... talking like Valley Girl most of the time? And being too nice and chill to everyone even Chef Christina told her to stop being nice.
I feel they tried to give Dafne more screen time and confessionals, but just had difficulty crafting a narrative for her.
@@matthewhalsall9008 And add with her performance, she is consider as one of the weakest runner up in 21 seasons(Still miles better than Virgina(Season 2) and Russell(Season 8)
A better example of this than Megan would be Benjamin in All Stars. He was a major character in S7 for all the wrong reasons, and yet his return didn’t give us much to go off of. He did speak plenty, but it added very little compared to the others, and it became pretty obvious he wasn’t winning, especially against Michelle.
So far, only Tenille and Ileana managed to reverse a decision by Chef Ramsay.
Well, in Tenille's situation, she had a breakdown because of how much she got nominated 2 or 3 in a row. Chef Ramsay noticed she's frustrated and let her going rage and telling her feelings. Which is totally unexpected because that episode came out few episodes after "You know who it is, he can speak for himself."
As much as I found Ileana's staying is bullshit, at least she didn't cry while begging to stay like Jessica in Season 12. But, seeing her got eliminated at Cook For Your Life challenge is totally ironic.
Tenille: You can dish it, but you can't take it?
Alex is the most deserving winner I’ve seen in a long time. Called him from day 1!
Watching Alex never get mad even when contestants would be yelling in his face examples Tara and Abe he kept his composure at all times at it was really impressive
All of those moments are truly iconic. My favorite is the bad service of Trenton’s wedding
It's always the wedding episode which is always the worst.
Remember the duck incident from Season 3 where the Red Team presented an overvooked duck to a wedding couple and also that episode made Melissa crashed and burned as she sabotaged her team 4 times in one episode?
Or Season 15, Chef Andi's wedding where everybody just sucked and got kicked out and made poor Hassan got eliminated? Also, Frank made 2 dishes just because he doesn't trust Manda who just moved to Blue Team and convinced everyone to drop her dish.
@@margarethmichelina5146 actually Frank made the desicion himself and it was him who dropped out Manda’s dish.
Alex is basically a Meghan! Literally only making less than 5 dinner mistakes!
He made one service mistake the entire season
Some honorable mentions are seeing Trenton come back and contestants from
Season 19 and 20 there as well. Let’s not forget Jon from season 11 came back as one of Gordon’s sous chef.
Zeus trying to sacrifice himself was honestly the highlight of the season for me 😂
I think going forward, when a new season is airing, you should do a video recap after an episode airs.
A lot of strong chefs this season, especially those final 6. Alex was definitely my favorite from the start and proved himself well. I was worried he was going to be overlooked due to his age in the end.
I would like to see another All-Star season with returns from these strong chefs from the past couple of seasons.
I think it would also be interesting to see a Battle of the Winners where former winners (and maybe runner ups) compete for an ultimate title.
A second all stars season won’t be a bad idea, as long as they mind who are they’re gonna cast since the first one was a dumpster fire due to the ones who’ve been casted
I'd like a Battle of the Winners and Runner Ups too, but I feel like Jay and Christina would be at an unfair advantage due to all their experience as HK Sous Chefs (not to mention Christina's work in Ramsay's own restaurants). If they DID compete in a season like that, it's basically a given that they'll be in the top 5 with, I predict, Alex, Dave and Megan. I think leaving them out of the competition and them remaining Sous Chefs would be better for the first reason I stated here.
alex truly is one of the best chefs to compete on this show. i feel like everyone could see his win coming from a mile away. also he’s fucking hilarious lol
I would argue that the wedding dinner service was much worse for the fact that it was the wedding night of a previous winner with chefs from two previous badass seasons. And it was so bad that it turned into a double elimination
You forgot Chef Andi's wedding on Season 15 where everybody just sucked at that night and got Hassan eliminated and the infamous wedding duck incident on Season 3 and also becoming Mellisa's downward spiral.
@@margarethmichelina5146 even with those two, I would say this one was the worst one given the amount of horrific mistakes. Plus the only real time Chef Ramsay decides to make a double elimination is when a service is really bad
@@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152I think part of the reason why a double elimination. With the nominees being Vald, Billy and Alejandro, none of them 3 were eliminated the previous episode and oh boy I think Ramsay probably regretted keeping Billy around for 1 more episode.happened
A double elimination happened because nobody went home the previous episode so Ramsay had to make up time. Despite the nominees being Vald, Billy and Alejandro, neither of them 3 went home and man I can probably think that Ramsay regretted keeping Billy for 1 more episode
i love hell’s kitchen but it’s rare that i actually get *emotional* when i watch it, but when alex won the season i did get rly choked up. seeing him win after losing his restaurant to covid was incredibly moving
Something I noted when watching this video;
You can tell that they record the confessionals for the chefs at different points within the filming of the season.
If you look at Brett before his confessional (about 3:10 in the video), you can see he appears clean shaven during the Signature Dish challenge, but when it cuts to the confessional, he's suddenly sporting a mustache and a bit of a beard.
Always ready for a new hells kitchen episode from flynn, and i loved season 21. So glad alex won! Great video flynn!
That terrible wedding service almost brought out classic Ramsay from earlier seasons.
Since you mention it so much on this channel I would love to see what your ranking on the talent of every season from worst to best is.
Season 8 and 16 are definitely at the bottom and season 14 and 19 are definitely at the top
One of my favorite moments, for dumb reasons, was Tara surviving the cook for your life challenge. The way they promoted it the episode prior, and then watchinf the actual episode, reminded me of the simpsons meme where the classroom waits on Bart to say something stupid in class before cheering. No hate on Tara, because she stunned me, especially for someone who was suffering from brain injury prior, i just found that funny cause of the way it played out.
I think Tara got way too much shit this season, from both her competitors and the fandom. She can be a bit immature, but I don't blame her when she suffered such a bad brain injury that she had to relearn how to run. That's gotta fuck someone up.
@@ISilverxStar yeah, i sympathized that she felt targeted by everybody, both in the 40s group, and in red team, but that specific moment, the way it played out just made me stupidly laugh. I actually enjoyed her personality in the groups over other favorites.
When alex won I was literally so happy, finally Gordon chose someone above the age 40!!
Alex did absolutely amazing! Congratulations to him being the winner of this season of Hell’s Kitchen.
Alex might be the greatest Hell’s Kitchen competeter ever. No joke!
I was rooting for Alejandro but Alex 100% deserved it. He did incredible all season and he had a great personality with the skills to back it up. I am so happy for him. 😊😊❤❤
I was so so happy Alex won! Ngl kinda cried with happy tears ❤
Watching this season when it aired, I thought Ramsay could possibly end up doing a double crowning this season, with how both Alejandro and Alex mopped the floor with the competition. He’s never done that in HK, and considering the talent level those two displayed, it could’ve been justified. And yet as soon as they had the five-dish relay at the final three, and Alejandro got sniped out (especially with how much they praised Dafne’s stuff), I sorta knew it was Alex’s to lose at that point.
Super bummed Alejandro didn't make it
@@thankyoujodi Yea. Would have lost to Alex still but he deserved Final 2 over Dafne
@AlessandroChiarelli completely agree. Sad for Alejandro, but ecstatic for Alex. I'm glad this latest season came down to the best 2, fortunately, both men.
@@thankyoujodi Yes agreed. Sammi was great but no standout potential like Ryan and Johnathan
Most cathardic winner in a long time
I reckon the Season 19 & 20 cast were in a place a pure pleasure as they were seeing the Season 21 cast going through what they had to before them
The former contestants, watching the s21 trainwreck service: *war flashbacks*
This would be a great series! You should definitely do this for the other seasons!
I think after Zeus got bitten by a Great White Shark, his trauma came back to haunt him in Hell's Kitchen. So it's probably the best for the poor guy tbh, as he straight-up admitted he didn't want this.
Like countless others, I was on the Alex bandwagon from the start. One of the most consistently well-performing and likable contestants in HK history for sure...right up in the top tier with people like Dave from Season 6. I had a funny feeling he would go all the way despite all the great talent on this season he was up against, and I'm glad my gut was correct.
Heck, I'd make the journey to Ramsay's restaurant (on the opposite side of the US from where I live) where he'll be working just for him!
I'm really glad Alex win as he deserves it but at the same time I feel later seasons getting winner's edit by giving them a lot of screen time in the confessionals (Alex is entertaining though), so from S17 the winner seems really obvious. I hope next few seasons the winners get not as many confessionals. Oh also for this season I read a title post on reddit that said from the first episode Gordon only follows Alex on insta, so ppl felt kinda spoiled
Thanks For Sharing!
Fun fact:
Brett is the first contestant in Hell's Kitchen who got switched team 4 times beating Autumn Season 7, Trev Season 8 and Mia Season 18 as the contestants who got switched team 3 times
I think Ramsey was second guessing himself again when Ileana went home. He wanted to keep her it appeared but he had already saved her once.
Poor Zeus tbh, from that footage he seemed like a man who knew who he was and what he could take. Just goes to show you that HK is no joke
Not to mention, him getting bitten by a great white shark must've sparked a trauma within him.
I would’ve rioted if they pulled a Petrozza on Alex, Honestly, him and Danny from season five have the most emotional wins ever
Was just watching Hell's kitchen and FlynnMasters pulls up a new amazing video. Great work as always dude!
With Alex going from having difficulty in the past to becoming the first person to win Hell’s Kitchen at the age of 40 we can all learn Alex is becoming the greatest chefs ever
Not to speak of the fact that Alex tied in having to endure the most punishments.
WHAT A RIDE!! Thank you Flynn!
Damn Dafne and Cheyenne had their worst service on black jackets. And the irony is that Dafne wanted Cheyenne to stay more than Tara, and after elimination I’m sure Dafne regrets wanting Cheyenne during black jacket challenge. Best kick out of the season right there!
Personally, my favorite was how Vlad got eliminated for using a cake tester instead of a meat thermometer. Definitely one of the moments in hells kitchen where a chef doesn't think in the moment
I don’t understand how Dafne made it to the final 2, should’ve been Alejandro and Alex, and I would’ve been fine with either of them winning. Happy overall Alex won
Tbh I felt like Alejandro was too inconsistent over the course of the season. I suspect Cheyenne was final 2 material and the finale could have been her vs Alex, but after the final five crash and burn that sent her home, Ramsay’s options were a bit limited
@@saberthecoolestBoth Alejandro and Dafne kinda had a similar run on this season. Both were strong but had their fair share of inconsistent moments. Yeah at that point, neither of them 2 or even Sommer were gonna top Alex. The only one who could’ve came close to Alex as you said was Cheyenne as she dominated that red team 80% of the time. It was just unfortunate that she crashed pretty hard at the final 5 on the fish station out of nowhere and with her getting eliminated, this gave Alex win opportunity at that point.
Alex reminds me of Jon from Season 11, Will from Season 9, and Kori from Season 19.
And Meghan from 14
I guess we'll have to see if Alex does end up hiring Dafne like I remember he said he would
Alex sacrificed so much to be there and it all paid off! The dude is a treasure!
1:54 Imagine being a past contestant feeling as if you got eliminated for a bs reason, and then watching this clip. I’d be pissed.
Where would you rank Alex compared to other winners? For me he is easily a top 5
One could argue Alex is the best winner of all-time. Possibly better than Dave or Meghan.
Alex was definitely one of the most dominant chefs of all time. He stood head and shoulders above the other 40-year-olds, and one could argue even above the 20-year-olds as well. He was a clear stand out from day 1 and was never chosen for nomination by his team.
Dave mostly always sucks at challenge like the time he trusted dumbass Andy to use Apple Compote on Calorie Dessert and got laughed by Chef Ramsay because the dish looked pathetic. Meanwhile, Alex and Meghan are challenge beasts but poor Meghan, her teammates mostly sucks and she has to face a lot of punishments.
Definitely Better then Dave Talent Wise as a lot of his Dishes During Challenges were dogshit.
I'm glad Alex won. He was at or near the top all season.
I called it from the beginning I had a feeling Alex would win. My mom and I nailed the top two. Which we usually do at the top ten service.
Nobody else mentioning it but I was so happy to see Jon Scallion, the shining star of the Blue Team from that season.
cheyennes spontaneous combustion at f5 was something else
the beginning was one of the worsts starts, but once he swtiched the teams up, incredible redemption
I watched the entire season in January when it got leaked on Singapore Netflix HEHEHEHEH it was fun to be spoiled
Alex IS a sole survivor through and through.
I hope one day you do a retrospective or in depth review of all the hell's kitchen seasons from 1 to 21
For some reason I got burnt out of watching hells kitchens when this season came out. but my predictions was Cheyenne winning because she seemed confident and competent. then I saw a video of a reward causing her to go home and I'm like. God Fucking Damnit
Another iconic moment is that this was the first season that the first five people booted off were all from one original team.
Alex was definitely the most consistent chef, probably in a while, no low lows or ridiculous highs that made him look bad, just cruise control at being great
Brett is actually from my hometown, Dublin, Ohio and I’ve been to his restaurant it’s quite good and it was exciting to see him on the show
I think chef exposing Abe and his 9 kids was truly iconic
Alex and Alejandro from beginning to end were my favorites so seeing ALEX win was SO FUCKING AWESOME
I think this is the first season ever that had a wedding, let alone a reception where they couldn't even finish the service. There was that one point back in season 3 where the red team served the bride and groom for the food tasting just a simple duck breast. If Gordon felt embarrassed then, I'll bet he was even more embarrassed when either team couldn't finish the service for the wedding reception for the previous season winner. I would feel so embarrassed as well.
Jon s11 making an appearance had to crack my top 5. I got so emotional seeing how he's aged. He's a fucking man now!! Just wow! Sakari leaving was quite the blow but damn was I upset when Alejandro got 3rd.i really think he deserved to go against Alex. But Alejandro was great in the finale and I was stoked to see Alex win. He was just one of the more deserving chefs ever!
Dafne had no business being the runner-up. She had to go at F5 over Cheyenne
@@AlessandroChiarelliCheyenne could’ve been in the top 2 had she not stumbled pretty hard at the final 5 on the fish station. I mean her performance was way worse than Dafne that service unfortunately. After her elimination, it was pretty clear and obvious that Alex would wipe the floor with likes of Dafne, Alejandro and Sommer.
@@rayewaddell9668 Dafne was still the worst chef of top 5 along with Sommer and should have gone over Cheyenne. Arguably she shouldn't have been in BJ in the first place
@@rayewaddell9668 Alejandro was much more dominant than Alex in BJ services but he was somewhat inconsistent, Dafne of course was not great at all during BJ and Sommer had a slow start.
Alex definitely deserves the win. Had he been successful with getting into Season 13, he could have easily been a great final opponent for LaTasha.
It’s not that important but just for the sake of clarity, Alex actually had 1 service mistake prior to the Final 5. He sent a cold crab cake in one of the earlier services but fixed it immediately. Still though, 2 service mistakes all season, excellent leadership and consistency in both challenges and services put him in my Top 3 contestants in HK history.
Call it what you want cause it’s over but, when I first saw Alex just his aura he projected out I said to myself he’s the winner.
Flynn, was this video blocked? Because I remember this was available the first few days it was uploaded
I had no issues with Ileana staying after the wing challenge. I don't like these pre-dinner service eliminations, and I thought that getting eliminated for not devising a good chicken wing would be a pretty lousy way to get booted. I feel like Gordon kept her because she stuck up for herself. I also feel that if they do one of these challenges again, and the person he picks to go insists they stay, Gordon won't be so merciful.
Honestly the only one that I would keep would be the cook for your life challenge. but how Seasons 12, 14, 20 & 22 did them. because that challenge was designed to weed out the weaker chefs that has been sliding by the competition compared to the chefs that had been so much more dominate and testing their will to see if they deserve to stay over the competition or not. The Rest can go fuck off for all I care
ALEX from the start for me looked very strong from the beginning & he deserved to be the overall winner
Alex is my favorite winner in a long, long time
i missed the final episode omggg😭😭but i really liked this season
I WAS SOOO HAPPY WHEN ALEX WON I HAD BEEN ROOTING FOR HIM SINCE THE START!!!
I wish I could see season 21 but I can’t I hope it was good
Zeus really put up 2 good challenge dishes and then dipped out ☠
Sigh
Can only watch last episode next sat in Netflix and here am I got spoilers by front picture
Really Appreciate it
