Ngl, I would put Julia over Jen. I feel like Julia had a better run, especially for the least experienced chef. She learned extremely fast, and it honestly would’ve made the finale much more interesting. A chef who’s clearly been battle tested vs. a chef who has barely any culinary experience who had made the fastest improvement ever. As for Josh, I 100% believe Brad should’ve been a black jacket, he was way better than Josh. Melissa being in 6th place would’ve definitely sat way better due to her downfall. Like seriously, WHO TF LET JOSH GET A BLACK JACKET 💀💀💀
I agree. Julia while not as experienced in fine dining, was a diamond in the rough. While being ridiculed ans knocked for working at Waffle House, that was an asset. She proved that at the military challenge when the Red Team finished far ahead of the Blue Team with few errors. She coordinated that well and continued to help the Blue Team finish. We saw in again lunch room challenge. Cooking for the masses effectively again. I was very impressed when her steak and shrimp was approved by Ramsay over her team. It ended up being the most popular dish at that dinner service while having maybe only 1-2 steaks returned. I knew she wouldn't have won, Julia's finish was very impressive.
My humble opinion: 13th J.R. 12th Vinnie (I completely agree with you on that one). 11th Joanna (Disagree). 10th Aaron (Disagree). 9th Tiffany (Disagree). 8th Eddie (Disagree). 7th Melissa (Disagree). 6th Josh (Disagree). 5th Brad (Agree). 4th Jen (Disagree). 3rd Bonnie (Disagree). 2nd Julia (Disagree). 1st Rock (I completely agree with you on this one 110%, not the best hk winner ever, however, he was head and shoulders above the rest of the season 3 cast).
