Heather imo was the only chef from s2 who was deserving of a spot in the finale. I’d argue Keith as well, but considering his poor attitude and leadership along with Virginia’s inconsistency, I’d crown Heather the winner right then and there
Keith was never going to beat Heather, and I think everyone knows that much. But considering how dominant he was up until the F3, I think he at least deserved the honor of making it to the finals over Virginia. Served Raw showed that he wasn't even feeling well during the F3 service, so I feel like he should've gotten a bit of leniency there, since that was his first major screw up compared to Virginia's hundredth. Also, his attitude honestly wasn't that bad imo, it never got in the way of his performance and was nowhere near as bad as folks like Russell, Elise, Tiffany, or Robyn. I feel like Gordon just didn't gel with him and the producers didn't want him in the final for whatever reason, maybe he didn't look the part compared to Virginia
@@Commenter839nah it's much simpler than that They did it for the shock factor And tbh Virginia should've gone instead of Garrett in the final 5 TBH Keith did kind of shoot himself in the foot by nominating Garrett instead of Sara, that would've guaranteed that either one of those two buffoons went home, then Virginia fucks up in the final 4 and there's nowhere to hide Virginia making the finals is a slap to the face to the 41, soon to be 43 other finalists
@@amazingtoludada300 Same with Mia Season 18. She only makes it because she keeps winning challenges but she sucks as leader. Had Motto not quit, Ariel and Motto would be perfect top 2 but still, Ariel's gonna win no matter who she competed with.
It's the same situation with Jon, two chefs who were the best chefs on their team who unfortunatlly had a bad [ass performance, as well as being on the runner up team and not once being nominated. They were also one of two chefs who weren't nominated on their respected seasons (with the other two either leaving or being eliminated without a nomination).
I agree, but to me, Paula was better overall than Danny. I liked Danny a lot, but to my eyes, Paula seemed unchallenged the entire season. It just seemed like HK was too easy for her so I saw her in the finals early. Danny had some competition and hick-ups on the Blue Team. I thought Robert and him were going to be the last of the Blue Team. Unfortunately Robert got sick.
That's why it's key to win the head-to-head challenge before the final dinner service. You get first pick, but more importantly you don't get stuck with the last pick (as horrible and playground'ish that is to say)
Poor Paula, she lost her chance to win because of Lacey. But in the other hand, at least she has a lot of succesful business and has an employee which later turns to be the winner in later seasons: LaTasha
At least Bryant took his lost like a champ unlike Russell. I’m still shocked that Gordon Ramsey has Russell to come back. Changed or not, Russell won’t get forgiveness. I mean blackmail your teammates for your mistakes?!?!
I agree. I wouldn't have ever invited Russell back to HK. Especially considering his final remarks towards to other chefs. Granted they may not have given their best efforts, but can you blame them? Russell bullied them most of the season, so what could be more fitting? It was karma. Treat people how you want to be treated.
Russell has actually commented on that finale not too long ago, stating that his infamous remark was filmed mere seconds after he had just lost the finale. Goes without saying, but he does regret having made that comment at all.
@@chairmanlmao4482He came back at Season 10 for their first Black Jacket service along with other runner ups such as Jay, Kevin, Paula, Bonnie and Virginia. Even he got roasted by Paula for being a sore loser in the service.
One thing I have to say in Virginia's defense is she handled her loss with absolute class. Virginia even admitted Heather was better and deserved it more.
Season 12 was pretty close. Has Jason been more assertive in handling Sandra he may have won. Airel definitely had a tough fight with Mia. But sge definitely got redemption. If Meghan wasn't so dominant, 14 would be closer than we thought. Paula and Danny were the closest by far easy to love it
Respectfully, i don't think Jason was ever winning, Underdog story aside, Jason had a couple of dodgy moments, some of which involved Sandra (mostly the whole waving a knife at her, and calling her a dumb female dog)
They pretty much solidified who was going to win when Scott kicked Jessica out while Jason chose not to kick Sandra out On an unrelated note, even though she didn’t win, Mary telling Dan to get out in her squeaky voice was both hilarious and badass at the same time
Jason has a hot-temper attitude, he easily got upset and yelled at people at times, which could be a problem if he won the season. Scott, on the other hand, had one of the greatest comeback story the show ever has, from a punching bag of both blue and red teams, almost got eliminated at final 6 had Kashia not so crashed and burned that week and probably being seen as one of the weakest black jacket chef in HK's history to be the strongest leader and vocal in the kitchen, which led him winning the season.
@@quangminhtran2916I mostly agree, but even at his worst, there ain't no way Scott was the weakest black jacket in the show lmao. Not when Virginia, Sara, Spaghetti Josh, Matt, and Susan exist
@@varisrevolver4061to be fair, Sandra made it way further than she should have, but didn't get eliminated in the first service due to gaurav being an idiot, and the second service because Nicole was an absolute waste of oxygen
Double top 5: Chefs who went through a Face or Heel turn upon returning to the show. It could be on an all star season or as a guest appearance in a later season.
Final 2 My honest takes; 1 - My heart would've wanted Elsie to be there, but Michael and Ralph were the clear top two, so it was the right call. 2 - I still would argue that Keith deserved that spot over Virginia, but there was no doubt that Heather would've still won. 3 - Again, heart would've wanted Julia to be there, though it was clear from the get go that Rock was going to win. Bonnie was a great underdog though. 4 - Petrozza really deserved that win, honestly. Nothing against Christina, but I feel that Petrozza was the notably stronger of the two. I'd argue that Corey was a bit more deserving to be in the final two than Christina. 5 - 100% the right call on both Danny and Paula. One of the strongest finales, where you really could've flipped a coin on who would've won, and no-one would've blamed you. 6 - My favourite final two. Dave and Kevin are two of the greatest chefs ever on the show, and though I was super happy for Dave winning, I wouldn't have blamed anyone for wanting Kevin to win. 7 - Definitely a dark horse final two. Whilst arguably the right call, Holli is one of the more forgotten winners. Jay should've won. 8 - Jillian *should've absolutely been in the final two.* Jillian's pass performance I feel wasn't significantly worse enough to have lost out that spot to the very inconsistent Nona. Woulkd've made for a more satisfying finale for it to have been JIllian to have taken down Russell. 9 - Arguably the right call? Tommy and Elise had no chance to get in, Jennifer could've potentially made it in had it not been for *that situation*. 10 - Christina was definitely going to win, you could tell.. but Justin was the right choice for being in that final two. 11 - Initially when I wrote this comment, I maintained than Jon should've made the final, but upon reflection months later, I've come to understand based upon his poor pass performance. THAT BEING SAID... I feel that his performance throughout the season was still strong enough that he should've been largely considered for that finale spot. Especially if you consider where he's at now, and having appeared during the finales of Season 21 and 22. 12 - My heart definitely would've wanted Rochelle to be in the final alongside Scott, but Jason also deserved to be in the final two. 13 - La Tasha was the clear winner early on.. but I would've put Sade in place of Bryant. 14 - T and Meghan were practically a shoe-in right from the get go, but Meghan was just such a raw talent that it was clear she was going to win. 15 - I debate at times on whether or not I would've swapped Kristin with Ashley. Ariel begrudgingly would've still been there. 16 - I.. actually don't think Heather was very popular with a lot of fans. It should've been Ryan and Heidi. Again would've made for a more interesting dynamic. 17 - *NICK. SHOULD'VE. WON.* There's a reason him being eliminated by a NON-chef is an incredibly sour note for the majority of us HK fans. 18 - Had Motto not decide to take himself out of the competition, I would've wanted him to be in the finals with Ariel. Would've made for a closer final, though Ariel would've still likely won. 19 - Honestly, you could've taken ANYONE from the final *FOUR* into the finals and I wouldn't have blamed you. Would've preferred Declan over Kori, but Kori and Mary-Lou still made sense. 20 - Arguably the right call with both Megan and Trenton. Heart would've loved to see Steve bounce back and make that surprise run however. 21 - Nothing against Dafne whatsoever, but I think Alejandro would've made for a better choice to go alongside Alex. 22 - Had this list been made after this season, I suspect the final two of Johnathan and Ryan would've ranked absolutely high if not Top 5. An incredibly strong final two.
Jon and Keith shouldn't have won, Gordon is looking for a leader, they couldn't lead, and you think they both deserve to win? But I agree with Nick, unlike them 2, he got screwed over by a twist that was made so Michelle wins
Nick iin season 17 was the WORST snub of all time! >.< No one can change my mind. Christina is NOT overrated and she's the best female winner and has proved herself even more by being Gordon's right hand pretty much!
I mean she didn't know he was engaged until his fiancé showed up, you could see it on her reaction plus she did do an interview about what happened since that moment
Flynn you read my mind. I was literally thinking to myself the other day "He should do a top 5 worst finales" and you delivered 10 fold! Keep it up! :)
@@Thefrogking234 I didn't think she was annoying at all I felt like she was wholesome. With throwing Cheyenne under the bus it is a competition and it was in the individual stage, u gotta do whatever u can to save urself. Doesn't mean you're a bad person. If Dafne didn't do that she would've gone home. She did also explain her reasoning behind why she did that
@@dankgamingmlg3377 I feel like whenever she talked about her heritage it's always so goddamn corny believe me I respect remembering where you came from but you don't have to mention it ALL the time
@@HoneyWareDX And that evil bitch Elise never deserved to get all the way to 3rd. So bite me. You have a recording of constant bickering and bitching on an infinite loop for a month, then see how it doesn't affect your work performance.

@@NerdyHippy What's my excuse? Christina surviving the S10 red team *IS NOT A GOOD FUCKING ARGUMENT* because Christina never bickers with her teammates in SERVICE. And she's good as a chef but not great like Justin (who should have won). Yeah I said it. Christina is overrated and her fanbase refuse to admit it because they're annoying and defensive as hell.
@@HoneyWareDXlife itself has proven how correct Ramsey was in choosing her, the most succesful winner and all, and some of you are still banging that old ass “undeserved win!!” drum. 💀
I don’t care what anyone says, Heather is my favourite. She’s driven, caring, and solid in both seasons. The fact that Robyn got a black jacket alongside her was a disgrace imo. Edit, one month later: I just finished season 19. Easily my favourite season and I fucking loved the entire top five except Amber. Mary Lou and Kori are a bomb top 2. Kori was just everyone’s mom this season and it never stopped being adorable.
When season 9 aired I was 5 and Tommy was my favourite in that season and to this day i think that he should've have been 3rd place I mean he couldn't win against Will and Paul but come on at least he could have been 3rd , For me Tommy, Milly and Petrozza be my top 3 hells Kitchen contestant of all time .
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay I was wrong anyway and that pairing only made number 3 probably for the mentioned reason (though nowhere near as lopsided as Season 2) so I don't want to argue it.
Does anyone else get annoyed how everyone pronounces Ariel's name? I've been rewatching season 18 and every time she says her name she pronounces it with the first part sounding like the word 'are'. But everyone else pronounces it like the Disney princess. I guess you could argue that she doesn't correct anyone, but that could just be because she's so tired of correcting people. It's not even a hard name to pronounce correctly.
I think the thing that still makes me call Season 17 my least favorite final 2 was just, how transparently rigged the entire competition felt that season. One could honestly make the argument she shouldn't've even made black jackets. But nope, Gordon for some reason couldn't do team transfers this season and couldn't get rid of Elise either, and so just made up bs excuse after bs excuse to send the blue team members home over and over despite objectively performing better in virtually every service in the season.
Fr, I love the idea of bringing back a bunch of the best chefs to compete against each other, but I hated how obviously rigged it was. Like, if they wanted to give Michelle the job so badly, why not just give her an offer and not waste everyone's time?
Also, the Red Team Season 17 totally sucks as they lost a lot of challenges and too much arguments between Michelle, Barbie and Elise. I'd prefer Jennifer to make it to Black Jacket over Michelle because Jennifer has been consistent since Day One on All Stars while Michelle makes a lot of mistakes including sabotage Manda who has celliac disease to serve raw pasta twice and also her disastrous performance on charity night and makes Barbie snaps, "HOW ABOUT YOU GIVE ME YOUR SPINACH, MICHELLE!"
I hope they're able to do another All-Stars at some point, because I can see them learning from the mistakes of the previous All-Stars season and making a killer season. I mean, the first All-Stars season of Drag Race is considered one of their worst (due in large part to the nonsensical pairs twist), but they bounced right back by having All-Stars 2 be one of their all-time greatest seasons. Maybe that can happen with HK.
One thing I find annoying is when they make the winner clear by giving the eventual runner-up the Purple Edit. They did that with Benjamin on All-Stars, making what could’ve been a villain redemption storyline into having him be the Purple Kelly of All-Stars. Then they focused a lot on Trenton on Young Guns, all while Megan was the Purple Kelly of that cast. And they kinda did that to Dafne this recent season too, barely featuring her until she made it to the Black Jackets and eventually the finale with Alex on Battle of the Ages.
@@nachoalvarez7171 Tbf the only reason Holli won season 7 is because Jay, at the time, kept mentioning he wanted to sleep with her, which, I guess, irritated Ramsay a lot so instead of handing Jay his obvious win, he handed it to Holli. It's also interesting to know that Holli didn't get the job after winning due to visa issues, she still excepted her cash prize and the title of HK winner, while Jay became so successful after season 7, to the point that he's working with Ramsay alongside Christina right now.
Actually if look at it through a different lens, Jon really did win season 11 as Jan’el couldn’t take the job due to failing a drug test and Mary was the runner up, and Jon did get a head chef position under Ramsey. So in reality, Jon was the real winner of season 11. Also I think you should rank all the winners next, then all the runner ups after that
Also, Mary comes back as the Butcher again but hey, if she enjoys being the Butcher so why not? Also, Jon makes a comeback on Season 21 as the Helper Chef for Alejandro in the finale and man he looked different than he was on Season 11.
And both of them have the best comeback stories. Jason went from not making it to dinner service on Season 9 due to being dehydrated to be the runner up on Season 12 while Scott who mostly being the punching bag of his teams either in Blue Team and Red Team and mostly by Anton and Joy won the season.
The top 2 of season 5 and 6 are the kind of top 2 that either the door opened, we would have a well deserved winner nonetheless, because they're really neck and neck to each other. While most of the top 2 has an obvious stronger one compared to the other, these 2 finalists are equally strong and we don't know who's gonna win because they're both strong, consistant and dominant throughout their competitions.
Honestly, I just love pairs where they seem to actually get on really well as well. Like, not even necessarily bffs but say, Christina and Justin, they seemed to have quite a healthy respect for each other and I was very here for that.
My favorite quote in HK history is Dave saying take me out because you don’t think I’m the best not because of my arm at the final four! Ramsey kept him because he was the best! That is an badass!
The season 8 final two shoulda been Boris and Raj, the dream pizza making team, then season 8 would be no.1. Besides, Raj is an expert poissenier… however you spell it.
I feel the edit did a really good job in the S10 black jacket section. They showcased why Justin was going to be in the F2 over Dana, but also the leadership and skills that propelled Cristina to the win.
Now that I finished season 22, I would say Ryan and Johnathan take #1. Not only are both skilled chefs with great backstories, but both have an amazing friendship and chemistry that feels good to watch on TV. I have never seen such dynamic in Hell’s Kitchen history. Season 22 is definitely one of the better recent seasons
I feel like a lot of people don’t realise that Gordon’s decision on who gets eliminated isn’t on a pure basis of who is making the most mistakes and he considers a lot of things. That being if he sees potential for them to grow and fight back and fill in the gaps of what they need to learn by progressing further in the competition and theres lots of examples that show it. Obviously Virginia for example was really inconsistent but with the early casts all severely lacking in experience and her having said in a video on her channel that they were not being given sufficient time and training to learn the menu Gordon kept her because he saw potential for her to learn from her mistakes and grow the further she went which I feel she definitely did over time. He got rid of Keith because his attitude was hindering his performance and wouldn’t be prepared to learn and listen and didn’t do well running the pass.
Maybe the best and worst at the final service from each season. I guess figuring out the best is more vibes I guess, maybe most surprising performances in the final service.
Just watched that season recently and they were my top #2 for sure. Their bromance and comradity was genuinely SO heartwarming - especially that I see their socials recently and they still get along as good friends (along with Sammi!) which makes me smile to see that those three are still close after going through hell (literally)
will and paul are probably my favorite final two (ignoring the jennifer situation) they both dominated the season and they acted like they were brothers all the time.
@@vitomcsween974I definitely liked him in his first appearance but man did he sour my viewing when he came back as a guest judge, I was wondering if Ramsay was regretting internally for bringing Paul back as a guest judge, him choking kinda felt like karma to be honest
The argument that the young ones have a disadvantage is simply a slap in the face for the winners. They won because they were better! Winning only because of age is ludicrous and Ramsay wouldn't do that dumb crap.
The younger and female chefs have an advantage over the older and/or male chefs when it comes to choosing the winner. Gordon has said before that he finds young female chefs to be some of the best at running a kitchen. Would explain Michelle winning over Benjamin, and Christina winning over Petrozza. The male chef could be better, but he just gives it to the female chef. Literally only reason to explain why Michelle, a young, incredibly inconsistent female chef with few good services (especially on a fucking All Stars season), won over Benjamin, an older better male chef, and Nick, a young male chef who is one of the best contestants performance wise that Hell's Kitchen has ever seen
Elise would be at the bottom due to her poor attitude in her original season, damn she could not stop crying when she gets sent to the chopping block because she would never agree that the failures of the team losing was usually her plus every time she says "I never make the same mistake twice" or "I never throw anyone under the bus" was always a lie
Finally I have been waiting months for this video! Thank you Flynn for responding to my comment! And especially, with all the HK content you provided. ❤️
My mom watched all of the seasons of hells kitchen (with the exception of season 21) with me her favorite winners are Holi and Michelle couldn't tell you why but she loves them as winners
Goes without saying, but it goes without saying that Heather versus Virginia is without a doubt the single most lopsided finale in the show's history and will most likely remain the most lopsided finale in the show's history. Heather in particular probably had an objectively top five greatest finale performance in Hell's Kitchen history while Virginia did as Virginia does and crashed and burned.
Jillian is too quiet most of the time and she's not actually ready to be the next head chef. But either way, even if Russell has to fight with Jillian or Nona, his chance of win is 50/50 because of his ego. Audience and Ramsay prefer those 2 ladies to win over arrogant A-Hole Russel.
@@daniellerose1114no, the biggest robbery ever was either petrozza losing to Christina or Nick losing due to the opinion of someone who has no background in culinary whatsoever
@@thewhambamKevin had grown extremely successful in the time between S6 and S18, and wasn't as motivated to win this time. He also mistakenly thought he was supposed to be in All-Stars, and didn't want to be in Rookies v. Veterans. He returned to compete against the S10 black jackets for one of the services though, and not only was he flawless, but he also saved Jay from sinking. So he does still have it in him, he just didn't care in S18. As for T, I think her ego got the best of her. She was incredible in S14 and probably assumed that alone would carry her through the competition
@@seanswinton6242 too bad that Danny chose Carol and Lacey was being forced to team up with Paula... Kevin lost thanks to Amanda's massive mistakes. Will lost thanks to Krupa.
I’d put season 22 finalists in the top 5, both were very likeable, had extremely solid runs, and were pretty neck and neck in the finale. Not to mention the bromance they developed.
My top 5 final 2: 5. S19-Kori and Mary Lou (most beloved two in the series) 4. S14-Meghan and T (obviously Meghan dominated this season at every turn; T remains the greatest chef to never win HK) 3. S10-Christina and Justin (While Christina is overrated to most by this point, no can deny she's a powerhouse as the red team Sous chef on the show) 2. S5-Danny and Paula (the most dominant chefs up to that point; could've been the case in S2 if Keith was in the finale alongside Heather, tho) 1. S6-Dave and Kevin (suffering injuries mere days into the competition only to end up in the finale, while still pretty obvious in hindsight, they were more than deserving of the title Battle of the Goliaths; not to mention iconic) HM for final 2: S9-Paul and Will (while pretty dominant in their own rights, they just ruined it for me when they backstabbed Jennifer in the final five. Yikes! I'm clearly not the only one) S12-Jason and Scott ( It's good seeing Jason getting another shot three seasons after being med-evac in S9 only to crush it during every service and then some; Scott, meanwhile, had a pretty bumpy road throughout but definitely made it worth the comeback. I just wished Joy hadn't quit during the final five, considering she was the frontrunner)
Correction about joy: she wasn't a god damn frontrunner, she was a damn bully, if you watch the season again she throws people under the bus to protect Kashia, and when that backfired in the final 6 she quit the following service because her plan didn't work She tried to be sneaky but she failed, idiot really thought she was gonna be in the final with Kashia
@@EpicAndrew97 I agree there. I've watched S12 more than once already and the signs were rather obvious. Just don't get me started on those two wanting to put up Rochelle for elimination because she wanted to start a family. Like, really? Putting contestants up for elimination other than performance, to me, hasn't died and it's just petty at every turn. I mean, even with the most recent seasons, they weren't immune to putting up anyone for dubious purposes. If anything, Kashia being sent home after the first Black Jacket service might have been foreshadowing regarding the next episode, when Joy finally made her exit during the final five service. Simply, wow. Her title as the frontrunner was already dead in the water long before the Black Jackets, in hindsight. Thank you for your response.
Lots of critics, Keith's elimination in season 2, blue team losing the final 7 service of season 4 meaning Matt Makes the black jackets over Louross, and many more
I still stand by my opinion that if Hassan had stayed on the blue team he would’ve made it to the black jackets. Hassan and Ashley would have been a much better S15 final two!
Swear to god everyone just repeats the same opinion about season 8- “Nona was terrible and only won because Russel was such an asshole” as if Nona wasn’t actually the best chef the season had. She earned the victory. Point blank. Don’t think anyone actually watched season 8.
I think she definitely deserved it based on her final service for sure! I think Nona is great for her season, but compared to other winners, especially during the service where winners returned to compete with the contestants (i don’t remember which season) she certainly struggled. I still give her credit for her win!
Before I start this video I am just going to say I think Flynn will say seasons 2.3.4 at least have final two where one of the people (Virginia, Bonnie and Christine) do not deserve to be final two. Just my prediction😅
Virginia definetly doesn't deserved to be runner up. But, both of Bonnie and Kristin are underdogs even though Bonnie is a crybaby while Kristin is kinda annoying whenever she speaks.
Christina did not deserve to win season 4, Gordon Ramsay just didn't want to hand a win to someone older than him, I guess he finally learned his fucking lesson in season 21 when giving Alex the win
Yes. Bonnie did really bad in the middle game and was lucky to have had a good service at F5/4, in which Julia got eliminated just because he stood against Rock, also got nominated for the first time all season. Jen/Julia and Rock would have been a better F2.
The only thing i can remember from season 13 was when Bryant choose Sterling as one of his team members, which lead to Sterling kissing his cheek. Funniest moment from Sterling for me
@@EpicAndrew97Kevin thought that Season 18 will be the same as the Season 17 but it was not he's expecting to compete on Veterans VS Rookies, losing his passion to compete and he intentionally made mistakes.
I agree. When I despatched the season I was surprised by how unlikable and underhanded she was. Amanda basically was eliminated off tornado of Michelle not knowing what al dente pasta is
It would be better if Jennifer was the last female standing than Michelle since Jennifer has been consistent since Day One. And Jen has immune with Elise's antique since she has enough with her since Season 9 while the others are still shocked of Elise is even you see Jen completely avoiding Elise as much as she can until they form an alliance to take down Michelle.
Jen being a winner or at least a finalist would’ve also made an amazing comeback story. To be thrown out of HK the first time because of Elise and her backstabbing only to return in triumph AND having taken Gordon’s advice from last time to heart? Man, that would’ve been awesome - a vocal Jennifer in the finale either gunning to take Elise and Benjamin down OR taking Elise on her team and FINALLY being able to deal with her…
@@Tfisch1010 Michelle should’ve been eliminated after her disastrous charity night performance, and her winning (let alone making it to the final 2 to begin with) is a huge slap in the face to the other 20 winners
She definitely deserves more credit though, especially with how much she grew from her other season. It was definitely ranked in the right spot, I just wish that she would get more credit for her win because she's amazing
Also, Mia mostly good at challenges but suck at dinner services because her job was Private Chef so she must be not used to work with other people. And she put Puerto Rican dishes on her finale menu as she is Puerto Rican descendant and makes her team confused of what her menu is supposed to be. Ariel in the other hand is very consistent since Day One and barely makes mistakes throughout the competition. She's the only veteran who is consistent.
Ariel doesn't get enough credit for her win, especially with how much she grew from her other season. Yes it was definitely ranked in the right spot, I just wish that she would get more credit for her win because she's amazing
I think a lot of people are really harsh on Nona being in the finale. Yes, she was inconsistent, but compared to her running the pass and commanding a brigade, she was much better at directing than cooking.
Final 2 worst to best 22-Nona and Russell 21-Ariel and Kristin 20-Michelle and Benjamin 19-Ja'Nel and Mary 18-Heather and Virginia 17-Michael and Ralph 16-La Tasha and Bryant 15-Rock and Bonnie 14-Ryan and Heather 13-Christina and Petrozza 12-Holli and Jay 11-Scott and Jason 10-Paul and Will 9-Trenton and Megan 8-Ariel and Mia 7-Alex and Dafne 6-Ryan and Johnathan 5-Kori and Mary Lou 4-Christina and Justin 3-Dave and Kevin 2-Danny and Paula 1-Meghan and T
Since you did a video on the many rivalries of the show, are you going to cover the many friendships? Maybe also a video on the most talented casts of the show?
Kevin and Dave not up to par with other final 2s?? Bruh that’s cap they barely made any mistakes all season. Kevin is one of the most decorated chefs to be on HK before and after the competition. I was actually surprised he came back for all stars.
Your number one pair is so incorrect. Christina is the best chef ever to compete one Hell’s Kitchen. Season 11 was a great season. Jon was a great chef but he did have a lot of screw ups in the final four episode when they had to run the pass.
Christina Wilson? I can see that, but when was she as passionate and dedicated as Dave? Dave still stayed no matter how many times people told him to check out his arm
Another great video, thanks! Would like to see one about the best, and worst, 2nd placers. I always thought Jay should have won and that on about any other season, T and Kevin would have won.
While I’m also not the biggest fan of Virginia, I have to give her credit for doing her best even though the cast was weak and she wasn’t as experienced! I hope she still found success in her life
Am I the only one who thinks Dafne actually did get a good edit? Like I remember her getting a lot of screen time. She is a super underrated runner up imo
All Stars was a mess but I don't think Michelle was a "Undeserved" winner as she kicked fucking ass during the competition, I just wished Gordon Picked some actual qualified Judges during the final 3. and they had a 18-20 cast size, and Robyn wouldn't join the all stars and make way for some other people who deserved it more like Suzanne and Autumn
If he had better judges to judge the food, Michelle would still make it to the finale but instead of Benjamin, it would be Nick to be in the finale, just imagine a S17 where its Nick vs Michelle, I wonder who would stand up to Elise
@@varisrevolver4061 I mean maybe but I'm sure she had some good performances during S17 even if she had to deal with Elise like everyone else, why did they invite Elise back, there was probably far better choices like Elsie or Julia among other people

IPersonality wise I didn't mind Nona, she wasn't one of the strongest winners. But she was probably one of the nicest contestants that season, and was the only one who tried to step in when Russell got overly aggressive with Trev.
I can say this about Virginia: nearly two decades have passed and she's still triggering purists enough to say her mere existence in the finals- from a cast all less capable than Heather by a country mile- is a slap in the face to every other finalist because they like Russell more than her.
Winners imo S4 petrozza due to his leadership and good nature but I don't mind christina S5 Paula over danny but only by an inch S6 Dave was the only choice S7 Jay due to lack of other choices I don't mind holli though S8 ngl Russel 😅 let's be honest he was a good chef if he had kept his quiet but firm attitude from the early episodes he'd won no question ask S9 tommy, due to us having to suffer all that unnecessary drama with elise and the Jennifer betrayal made me hate both dumbass will and the meatball paul S10 both were worthy S17 Benjamin, Michelle win fell flat
I will never forget how Elise manipulated Paul and Will to choose Jennifer to go home but at least karma got Elise twice, once during the who will join who in the finale as is brought on those waterworks and second being she got eliminated before Jennifer in S17
@@luuduonghy659 Jennifer went downhill in BJ phase. Tommy did his fair share of mistakes despite being nominated only twice, and Elise of course is lucky to be there.
@@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay I don't think they got manipulated. They played strategically since Elise was easier to beat than Jennifer and wanted the stronger out
Some people (including myself) think her post-S10 performance makes people look more favorably on her actual S10 performance. While she is definitely a staple of the show afterward, I can't tell you a thing about her time as a contestant other than she definitely would have eliminated if the red team lost the first service.
