The Most Unfair Elimination From Each Hell's Kitchen Season 

Fun fact: Jim in his Twitch Stream claimed that he was eliminated because producers wanted him to start drama with Robert, but he said "fuck no" and producers wanted him out for that. Seems like he gave up on the show after viewing this more of a drama show than a cooking show.

I feel like Giovanni would have survived if he hadn't of put a 500° plate in the cooler, resulting in Robert getting burned

Still haven’t gotten over Jennifer’s Elimination(from both seasons)

Giovanni’s elimination was completely fair, he literally did a season 14 Michael mistake and yes while Michael didn’t actually cause any injuries but could, Giovanni did to Robert, which I personally believe ultimately sealed his fate.

Season 10 Patrick elimination over Tiffany was complete bullshit, especially with that excuse that she cares a 9. S9 Jennifer elimination still pissed me off to this day. Zachy Wacky got too many chaces, he should've be elimated over that Sabotage. I think Richard deserved another chance of Gabriel (S12) and S17 Van what the hell and what about Hannsen

I’m glad I’m not alone about Eddie. The dude messed up one garnish and got eliminated. He seemed like such a nice guy, too. Everybody always rides how Hassan was robbed, but he wasn’t. He was supposed to United and lead the red team and failed to do so.

Jim said in an interview that he was eliminated because the producers wanted him to start a feud with Robert. Which he refused.

I’m glad you picked Eddie from S15. Truly made no sense for him to go home out of the four up for nomination that episode. He made the least mistakes!

Most unfair elimination in season 1 was Carolann. She was a kitchen manager of a multi-million dollar restaurant in NYC before Hells Kitchen. She was one of few people who up to that point showed some competency in the kitchen. Wendy thought cold water boils faster than hot water. Jeff admitted he had never worked a line before. Carolann got eliminated for not bailing out more incompetent people on their stations.

2:36 And the worst part is, that we never got the chance to listen to Louross’s exit speech bc of the switch up with Matt & Jen that was more important 😠.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Dan being eliminated over Barrett in s11 deserves a mention. Barrett 100% deserved to go home after making two fatal mistakes in two back to back services.

honestly, i don't find curtis's elimination unfair. he was put on the sushi station to see if he could bounce back after the challenge, but he didn't, and he was the main reason why the kitchen dragged that night, leading to his elimination

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

Already knew season 17 was gonna be Nick. Biggest robbery ever

Eddie was done so dirty in S15. Felt like Jackie was only kept for the drama.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think that Donya's elimination was as bad as people say that it was. Donya was on thin ice leading up to that nomination after she struggled to say that Sandra was the weakest chef on the red team during the final 10 and Chef Ramsay let her know that. Donya was a better cook than Jason but her lack of confidence during the tail end of her run and her failures to delegate her own course during charity night doesn't really translate to being a head chef, which is what caused her to be eliminated.

Let’s be real, Elise, Jason (S22) and Raj were all kept around because of drama. Not to mention that Curtis has one of the saddest eliminations in HK history.

Nick being eliminated in All Stars is the moment that change my opinion on the show! Why did some CEO get to chose who get to the finales?

To be fair, Louross was the main reason why the blue team lost that service at the final 7 as a couple tables walked out on his mistakes on the meat station so I kinda understand why Petrozza picked him over Jen. Not to mention he was on a downward spiral at that point.

Mattias from season 22, here 😁 I couldn’t agree more with your pick. Watching the episodes back, I was pretty shocked to see, Donya go over, Jason. Knowing how hard she worked/works, and seeing a bunch of glaring mistakes towards the other side; it was definitely a surprise. Both very talented Chefs, in their own right, but, mistakes were made lol. Great video 😁💯

Despite being pissed about Donya's elimination, it was worth it to see Jason be the only one to get screwed out of a black jacket.

I always thought Kanae got screwed.

Virginia is a fantastic resteraunt owner but she was so inconsistent. She shouldn’t have been in the black jackets much less the finalist but Ramsey was like “THE PALETTE THO”

Before judging what constitutes an unfair elimination I think most viewers need to realize that this show isn’t just about who has the best services or who cooks the best dishes. They are competing for a head chef job to run a kitchen, not a line cook job. There are way more intangibles like leadership, creativity, communication, work ethic, composure, confidence and the ability to bounce back from your mistakes that are needed to have success. Just because someone is decent in service doesn’t mean it’s automatically an unfair elimination if they are lacking or not showing any growth or improvement in other critical areas necessary.

I have a theory that Chef Ramsay actually picks the finalists early on, while still cutting out the fat, leading to unfair eliminations of people he already knows don't deserve to win. For example, he probably decided that the only people capable of winning Season 9 were Will and Paul, leading him to base most of the eliminations on keeping those two around while maximizing entertainment. I am aware of some flaws with this theory (Josh versus Alison in Season 14), but it just makes sense to me.

14:43 I agree with this elimination being totally unfair because Jason blaming a Sous Chef for his incompetence?! Blow me!

Video Idea: a ranking of every chef who was the last non black jacket eliminated, like Vinny, Brian, Kanae, Nicky, etc

You know Donya's elimination was unfair when even Johnathan at the beginning of the next episode was mad about it and they weren't even on the same team.

Everyone's reaction when Heather entered the Black Jacket Lounge was hilarious.

Jamie was also fairly eliminated since Carrie and Elise both had less bad services. Jamie - ELIMINATED- 24 mistakes, 22 service mistakes (whipped cream separating, negative review, plate with hair on the pass, said it wasn't on the plate implying that the chef planted the hair, doesn't seem to care, gave up, communication, delay in garnish confusion, burn zucchinion the pass, decadent performance makes chef worried because he doesn't receive any response and can't continue, instead of improving it got worse and worse, lack of fight showed that it's not ready because it's not the what you did in the past, but what you do now that counts) Elise - 22 mistakes, 15 service mistakes (presentation, team chose her dish as the worst, stood by with crossed arms,, too heavy desert, too much vinegar, dish was worth zero and her team did the right thing by not evaluating it, communication, vegetarian pasta with lobster on the pass, don't need a black jacket but a straightjacket, oysters were overcooked on the pass and was kicked out of the kitchen, lack of control in station,, lack of concentration and lack of respect) Carrie - 13 mistakes, 8 service mistakes (appearance, very sweet, lack of balance, negative reviews, communication, burnt fish on pass, said she didn't see it, was kicked from the kitchen, told not to be kicked and tried to argue with the chef, arrogance)

I still cannot forgive Gordon eliminating Van in all stars, dude did one mistake that whole season. While Robbin kept fucking up

Getting sent for a bad grilled cheese when GR cant make one himself is madness. I love GR and bunge his videos daily but that got me 😅

For me the most unfair eliminations from season 11 would have to be Jessica and Anthony. The red team even mentioned in episode 7 that it wouldn’t have been fair to nominate Jessica if they didn’t nominate Susan, yet she still got the boot while Susan outstayed her welcome. And Anthony, while he was beginning to lose his confidence and really messed up in episodes 14 and 15, the fact that he left before Zach is still one of the biggest robberies in HK history.

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

No seriously, I'm surprised no one mentioned Keanu's season 20 elimination, and how caked in bullshit that one was yet.

Koop got really screwed in Season 16 if you ask me. Paulie should’ve gone home instead of Koop.

Season 4’s Matt should’ve had the honor of being the first chef eliminated from the winning team. Then Louross could’ve stayed.

Idea: rate all of the chefs who just missed a black jacket

For season 10, I would go Patrick as I genuinely think if Tiffany goes home because of like a 9, Brian gets a black jacket as Royce goes at 10, Robyn at 9 without Tiffany, Kimmie at 8, and Patrick at 7 unless a meltdown from Patrick. And I know Patrick was a bit more inconsistent, Tiffany had way less passion and wasn’t good by any means. Besides, Patrick was picked quite early for the final dinner service while Tiffany wasn’t there at all.

Let us have a moment of silence for the eliminated who only had one bad service after being nearly flawless all season.

"Two portions short of a risotto" sounds like one of Ramsay's weird food pun insults from Kitchen Nightmares (like "Taste of Greece? More like tastes of greasy!")

chef ramsay LITERALLY selected Nick first to move on and compete in the finally, meaning he saw so much in him. Like he was the most improved chef that season. Ill say this every damn time if I have to: Nick deserves so much better. s17 is so unwatchable BECAUSE of this outcome (and my dislike of the red team). white men in suits should NEVER be allowed to judge food again unless they are actually chefs. NICK WON IN MY HEART. ITS SO UNFAIR HE LOST.

Series 11 I liked Mary a lot but John should have won this series. Without a doubt.

The fact that Robyn is two time black jacket is insult to the black jackets!

Finally, some mentioned Louross! He really deserved to make it to black jackets. He had so much energy and fight. I also found it strange that his elimination is the only one (save for mid-service elims) that he didn't have an exit interview. Did he just decline to do one? I'm still bitter about Hassan's elimination. It actually made the rest of S15 unwatchable for me. I was really unhappy about Heather getting a black jacket over Kanae too. I don't think there was a single person in the black jacket lounge that was excited to see Heather walk through the door haha.

Just finished S19 and I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say Adam's elimination was justified. They foreshadowed Adam was in danger when the blue team commented that Adam was coasting by during service, and not giving 100 percent effort because he was so sure he would make it to the black jackets no matter what. Chef Ramsey gave Adam one final chance to stand out and he didn't.

It's clear that Gordon Ramsay is sabotage contentions, even though he clearly says to himself. That he never ever sabotage.

Honestly the most unfair thing about Louross’s elimination is that he got booted over Matty

And finally, let's compare Steve and Brynn's services in that episode. Steve - ELIMINATED- 19 mistakes, 12 service mistakes (puree, white plate, could have had more oranges, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, took too long to put the wellingtons in the oven, didn't answer chef and didn't look him in the face, lack of voice, overcooked wellingtons in the pass, very quiet and recurrence of not communicating with his team, doesn't seem to care, admitted that he doesn't know how to change and said he expects chef to teach him, learned that silence in the kitchen is goodbye ) Brynn - 13 mistakes, 10 service mistakes (white plate, low rating, lost the challenge, communication, lack of composure, got the order wrong, lack of focus, said there was a wellington in the order, didn't answer chef, looks like she panicked , lack of voice, anxiety got in the way, lack of confidence) Maybe if Steve's plea wasn't pathetic by his standards (he gave both the best and worst pleas of that season) he woul'dve stayed.

S2 Garrett's elimination was pretty unfair too. He was better than Virginia overall and this was his first time up, but he got eliminated over one raw chicken. Sara's elimination would be considered the worst robbery in the show if she wasn't so unlikable too.

S6 Suzanne Should’ve gone home instead of Sabrina

Season 8 Vinny sunk his team that night, and he was already on a downward spiral.

2:08 Brad: I still think I’m the best Editors: >uses the confusion/gag sound effect That was dirty for an early edit lmao

Why do you end every sentence with a downward inflection

Seems like the chefs who are really good but reserved get booted guys like Adam or Bobby or Van(2x) All got robbed bc they weren’t in bs or wasn’t yelling just to yell. Kanae is prob the biggest robbery in HK history. Heather played it safe and was rewarded. Final note. Don’t get the Elise hate. She was a bratty b**** but she COMMUNICATED. The red team had HORRIBLE communication. Jen was the oldest n showed no leadership. Elise was better. Had Elise was mentally stronger she wins it all.

Series 11 John should have won especially in view of the fact that the blue team was one of the worst in the history of the show. John was a beacon of loveliness, a great chef and an all round lovely man. I rarely disagree with chef but I think he made the absolutely wrong decision here

Chris: I think this elimination is why Ramsay slowly started to consider the actual nominees less and less because this definitely wasn't a good look Keith: I still think about this elimination constantly on why the hell it even happened. Brad: Similar to Chris honestly. Louross: I mean, he deserved a black jacket over Matt definitely. This elimination confuses me because he got no last words, and then there was the useless team swap again. Giovanni: I personally don't really see what was so unjustified about it because it seemed like he kind of gave up after the whole "dickface" moment. Jim: I think the real Jim has talked about what happened on why he got sent home. Still a pretty confusing one. Siobhan: Consider she had been nominated I believe 3 times in a row at that point, vs Fran's 5th overall, I constantly flip back and forth who deserved to go home more, but I don't really think it was that unfair as it was pretty obvious whoever survived was gonna be next. Vinny: If you watch the entire season, Vinny pisses off Ramsay NUMEROUS times, so I feel like him going home before the black jackets was understandable. Not entirely justified, but understandable. Jamie: The look on the blue team members says it all. HOW. Brian: Yeah I was annoyed that he didn't get a black jacket, but he definitely gave up during service, which is a big no-no Michael: I legit keep forgetting about this one, because it's so similar to Anthony's, and Michael was far less memorable, but yeah, Zach should've gone home at that point. Richard: Richard definitely did deserve to survive over Gabriel, but I'm kind of glad in hindsight Gabriel lasted a bit longer because he had an amazing service, followed by an ejection. Fernando: I still don't completely understand why the show wanted to keep Santos around, considering he was so forgettable, he didn't get any sort of retrospective despite getting a black jacket. Fernando wasn't memorable either, but still. Alison: I think Randy's elimination was more bs, for similar reasons to Fernando's. Josh simply didn't belong in the black jackets. Eddie: I keep forgetting about this one, but yeah, what he did worse than everyone else, I do not know. Aziza: Probably the most forgettable one here, and I don't really have much to say because I've watched Season 16 a grand total of 3 times, and I can't STAND it. Nick: I'm still extremely pissed about this one. He's literally one of my favorite contestants of all time. Kanae: It's a prime example of the major flaw of the black jacket challenges. Plus, she had 3 pretty solid dishes, and yet she went home. Adam: NGL, getting my rage back of people going home when they shouldn't or people not going home when they should made me realize how much I missed the show when Season 19 came out. Steve: I mean, Steve had shown that he wasn't exactly the most talkative, but I think he should've at least gotten a chance at the past over Brynn, who clearly wasn't emotionally mature enough to run a brigade yet. Mindy: I was just baffled by this. The entire time, I was like "this is when Ileana goes home." aaaaand NOPE. Donya: In hindsight, this elimination made a bit more sense with the whole "everyone except Jason got a black jacket" moment, but I was beyond infuriated that Jason survived because the entire episode made it look like he was a goner with the just dreadful charity night service.

Hey Flynn! Heres some ideas for future videos!!! What if chefs could choose which finalist to support? (Yeah, would be unbalanced, basically every chef to make it to the final service would choose a chef to support, would it be inbalanced? Yes, would it be silly? Also yes.) 3rd placer rankings. All specific coloured teams ranked (Red, Blue, Black) Maybe some what if videos? Like: What if the S11 probation twist never happened? And was instead replaced with a double elimination. What if cook for your life challenges were introduced earlier? What if all stars had winners and runner-ups? (Realistic returns by the way.) What if [CERTAIN CONTESTANT] wasnt medivaced?

Ramsay: so your attitude does suck I mean mine would to if Virginia survived the block over me

I jumped out of my seat when Jason from season 22 got eliminated right before the black jackets.

I always felt Brad went home because he allowed himself to be put up; like he bought Josh’s stupid line about being a “whipping boy” and seemed to think he would be safe over Bonnie if he went up, but he just seemed he got what he deserved by not being willing to make the obvious choice and put Josh up. I also disagree with Louross being better than Jen, but he definitely was better than Matt. Jen is a bitch but was a solid cook in season 4

I feel like Shayna from s4 didn't deserve to be kicked. She was nominated next to Matt and Rosann who were both kept for drama, while they made way more mistakes. Almost every "Cook for your Life" challenge results in unfair eliminations. Ben's elimination in All Stars is probably the most unfair elimination of the show, since he was first boot and it had nothing to do with his cooking skills.

After seeing this and watching the satisfying elimination video multiple times, I wonder if we’ll get to see a video about the most satisfying eliminations of each season.

Did you forget about ralph's elimination? He was sick, and held his own, and wasnt the original nominee but because gabriel threw him under the bus, he was eliminated because gabriel didnt follow the team nominees

The most annoying thing about Elise is that up to the black jackets, while she had plenty of bad moments, she didn’t have any flat out awful services. She deserved to stay over Gina, Krupa, Carrie, and Jamie, and while it’s annoying she got a black jacket, it’s somewhat understandable since Elizabeth showed signs of giving up. It makes the Jennifer thing SO much more annoying because the one time Elise definitely deserved to go home, she stayed

Charlie's (RIP) elimination sometimes is considered a robbery because Seth was a donkey, but Charlie was way worse that episode. He even was a bad waiter. Charlie - ELIMINATED - 13 mistakes, 11 service mistakes (too few scallops, not done well enough, risotto took too long, no ham, undercooked, mascarponi, crème, lack of seasoning, said he didn't know how to make risotto, pasta without lobster in the pass Seth - 7 mistakes, 4 service mistakes (didn't know how to open the shell, left half of the scallop, left chef Ramsay worried because he knew so much about his own life, hesitated to answer the chef, pasta without lobster in the pass)

Dana shouldve been at least an honourable mention in the all stars season(17), I get that Nicks was far more unfair but it was Danas first actual bad dinner service and first time up for elimination in 2 seasons. Gordon Ramsey even says that at the end of the episode. She screwed up meats screwing her team over but handled the situation well and somehow Elise made it farther then her.

I totally agree that Mindy’s elimination was so unfair! She deserved to stay a little longer!

About 95% of the eliminations I agree with, Anthony, All Star Van and Randy are the only ones where I put my foot down on.

Looking at the first 16ish seasons I wonder who had more sway. Ramsay or the Producers

Would like to see an episode on either all of a top 10 of times chef Ramsay had chefs keep their jackets.

There are some picks that I don't agree and also could be addition; Season 6: Van getting eliminated over Suzanne because Suzanne constanly making mistakes, being too cocky, arrogant and snubs and yeah, Van despite his hype personality can be a douche too sometimes, remember when he argued with JP? Season 9: Besides Jamie and Jennifer who lost to Elise, Elizabeth also getting screwed up on Black Jacket round as she missed her chance to get Black Jacket over Elise. But then again, she screwed on the reunion challenge for always being on Lalaland and she took the word "dumb blonde" to whole other level. And Elise is good for TV Season 10: Yeah, Brian not getting Black Jacket over Robyn is fair enough but don't forget that Patrick got eliminated over Tiffany, Robyn, and Royce. Robyn and Royce definetly would go back in line but if I was Ramsay, I would definetly eliminated Tiffany as she was not caring to make pizza as she hated kids, argued with Barbie in front of Ramsay on dinner service and has the worst pathetic plea ever, "Like a 9...." Patrick deserved another chance. Season 12: Besides Richard, Ralph also getting screwed up by Gabriel when Gabriel threw him under the bus to nominate him. Ralph has more potential than Gabriel. Season 16: Koop, Wendy and Devin could stay over Paulie if Paulie didn't snitch to Ramsay over Koop breaking a chair, Wendy and Devin also didn't make mistakes but whatever, Paulie needed to be the last douchebag of Season 16 to stay. I prefer Andrew to get Black Jacket over Paulie to see if his relationship with Heather effect him on Black Jacket round. Season 20: Morgana over Payton. Payton is absolutely terrible cook from Blue Team and also a terrible cook on Red Team. Morgana is a dominant chef but too bad her voice is not loud enough.

3:04 what about LA going home over Carol that was fucking ridiculous Carol completely sank the kitchen and LA hardly did anything wrong

In the case of Michael (s11), I feel like Ramsey eliminated him because the dude literally said that he missed his newborn son coming home because he would rather work instead. And we know how much Ramsey values family! Why would he want a deadbeat dad be in charge of his restaurant??

I really wouldn't say Vinnie's elimination was unfair. You have to remember the fact that his waiter performance was an all time bad one trying to control garnishes not coming out so either way he was never going to win after that

In s13, I also feel like Sade should’ve been in the finals instead of Bryant. And yea Nick’s elimination was definitely unfair, and I asked on his Q&A video if he’d compete for a 3rd time of given the chance and he said yea so maybe we’ll get to see him again soon lol

Anyone noticed Fernando had his arms folded throughout his last elimination ceremony?

The fact that Carrie and Elise and the Blue team was shock that Jamie got Eliminated shows how shocking and unfair that elimination was

11:54 Wire reference, that’s why you’re the GOAT Flynn

Honestly, I think something that makes a lot of fans view Nick's elimination even more negatively than some, is not only that it was really only done to ensure Michelle would 100% win the season, but because of the whole rumour surrounding it: Basically, Nick being an openly gay contestant led to many people believing his elimination was purposely done, because Mark Frissora was homophobic, and therefore did not want a member of the LGTBQ community being a head chef.

I think what's interesting about these is that with the exception of exactly Nick in all stars, none of these contestants really stood out as potential winners. I've always theorized that Gordon usually has a good idea of who his final 2-3 chefs are gonna be pretty early on, so at that point who gets kept longer outside of those matters less and at that point he and the producers just keep the people who will help get better views.

Watching the raw service cuts from Season 2 services, I really changed my opinion on the unfairness of Virginia over Keith. Yes, Virginia was crap - but Keith really wasn't all that great (Heather was so head-and-shoulders above everyone that season, it was completely obvious by episode 2 who would win). He had a terrible attitude all season and more mistakes than the broadcast edit showed. He was a competent line cook (which is a step up from Virginia, of course) when he cared and was focused, which wasn't really all that often. And the broadcast version of his elimination episode shows him being bad running the kitchen, but it really sells short how abysmal he was - Virginia was nothing special on that and she was clearly better than him. All told it was a shocking elimination from the broadcast, but from the raw, it's totally defensible. Especially since Heather was clearly going to crush either of them anyway. All that to say, we only see a small portion of what happens during the service. There is so much that gets cut from two kitchens running for 3-ish hours each to fit into a 15-20 minute segment. Some of these unfair ones would probably be entirely justifiable if we could see a more full cut.

Most Satisfying Elimination From Each HK Season: My Thoughts 2. Sara 3. Melissa/Josh 4. Jason 5. Lacey/Seth 6. Suzanne 8. Sabrina/Raj/Russell (Not Winning) 9. Elise 10. Tiffany/Kimmie/Robyn 11. Dan/Jeremy 15. Frank/Jackie 16. Matt/Johnny/Andrew/Gia 17. Elise Again 18. Scotley

1. The fact that Gabriel was ejected right before the black jackets should tell you something about Flynn’s pick for season 12. 2. Vinny’s elimination is definitely one of the most debatable of all time. I mean, yeah he was on the decline, but Gail got kicked out of the kitchen. But then again, if you think about it, Vinny’s elimination may have been karma for what he did throughout the season. So I could see either one of them going home. 3. I hope we see Alison, Hassan, Nikki, and Kanae again at some point. 4. The fact that Flynn couldn’t pick for season 17 is a sign for something. I just don’t know what.

To make matters worse, Donya got in a car accident in Brazil after her elimination.

“I can’t give you a heart” Gordon doesn’t even have a heart so yeah that’s obvious lol

Here are mine Season 1: Chris(Elsie should be going home instead) Season 2: Keith(Virgina should be going home instead) Season 3: Brad(Josh should be going home instead) Season 4: Dominic(Jason should be going home instead) Season 5: Giovani(Andrea should be going home instead) Season 6: Jim(Andy should be going home instead) Season 7: Sibohan(Fran should be going home instead) Season 8: Vinnie(Gail should be going home instead) Season 9: Jennifer(Elise should be going home instead) Season 10: Patrick(Tiffany/Robyn should be going home instead) Season 11: Jessica(Ray should be going home instead) Season 12: Gaurav(Nicole should be going home instead) Season 13: Fernando(Roe should be going home instead) Season 14: Chrissa(Monique should be going home instead) Season 15: Eddie(Jackie should be going home instead) Season 16: Pat(Matt should be going home instead) Season 17: Van(Robyn should be going home instead) Season 18: Scott(Chris should be going home instead) Season 19: Adam(Marc should be going home instead) Season 20: Jay(Alex should be going home instead) Season 21: Mindy(Ileana should be going home instead) Season 22: Leigh(Carmen/Jonathon should be going home instead)

It's still disappointing to me that Donya had to suffer such a blow getting booted over Jason, considering one of them had been more consistent than the other throughout S22 up until charity night, where it is totally crucial to show those leadership skills and put them into action. I mean, Jason was obviously kept around longer just for being a villainous personality, still, reality TV at its grandest. Even Adam's elimination in S19 still blows my mind. One would think it would've been enough for him to bounce back from his station, he'd still be around for at least another couple episodes. Alas, considering Marc himself didn't fare much better by any means during that same service and he was also up for elimination, man oh man, that was a pretty low blow if ever I saw one. At last, Vinny in S8, I believed had a better shot as a Black Jacket, compared to Gail, who herself has already become woefully inconsistent before that point. I mean, in fairness, there was weak talent all around between the cast. But, some part of me thought that the whole incident in the second episode with Raj was his undoing. Just a suspicion. Anyway, that episode when the Black Jackets were handed out, at least Vinny finished up service with the Blue Team beforehand. Still, awesome video!

I think for s4, Bobby going over Jen was the most unfair, outsideof night 1, Bobby did barely anything wrong and was awesome all season and then Ramsay took him out over Jen of all people who sucked in all 3 jacket colours

Unfair eliminations in Season 17? *Looks over to Ben, Van, Nick & Jennifer* Do you have the slightest idea how little that norrows it down?

Just the fact that Frank, Jackie and Dannie were brought back for the s15 Finale over Eddie and Hassan was the biggest sin for me.

Maribel actually asked to leave, but yeah Sara's service was worse. Maribel - ELIMINATED - 7 mistakes - (lack of originality, wasn't doing anything without helping, burned the salmon, delayed delivery of the salmon, confusion at the pass with Mary Ann, raw salmon, teamwork) Sarah -18- mistakes- burnt peppers, didn't put the pan on the heat, put a lamb in a cold pan, started laughing, undercooked lamb 2x, fatty lamb, times, communication, boiled butter in the sauce, 2x cuts of the lamb , little cherry, posture, teamwork, kept moving thlambs, irregular lamb temperatures, took a while to get the salmon, there wasn't a salmon,

Still hold Sarah (Season 5's Wil) as unfair. The fact that Robert didn't hesitate or meander to say he'd take [Wil's]/Sarah's spot for nomination spoke volumes of how the group had more confidence in her over Seth. But since Ramsay saw a self nomination as weakness vs ownership of mistake we got a different series. Granted, unsure really how much would have changed in the long run but at least Seth wouldn't have molested that poor filet.

Thinking about it, Season 16 had quite a few BS eliminations. Surprised you didn't pick Wendy and Devin being eliminated over Paulie.

Vinny wasn’t robbed, Id say Jillian was more robbed

My picks 1. Chris 2. Keith 3. Brad 4. Shayna 5. LA 6. Amanda 7. I have no idea 8. Vinny 9. Jennifer 10. Patrick 11. Anthony 12. Rochelle 13. Fernando 14. Allison/Randy 15. Hassan(Justified)/Eddie 16. Aaron/Koop/Devin 17. Van/Nick 18. Gizzy/Kanae 19. Adam 20. Steve 21. Cheyenne 22. Donya If anyone has any questions on my picks let me know

One I will always hate is Kenneth's from Season 19. Having an elimination challenge before the first service is stupid on its own, but to not inform the chefs that it IS an elimination challenge until they've already cooked the dishes is downright evil. Sure, Kenneth probably wouldn't have made it far anyway, considering he left a whole chunk of cheese in his dish, but to eliminate him before he has a chance to do a service or even defend himself is absolutely unfair.

Keith was robbed from facing Heather in the Season 2 finale. Virginia had no business being in the final 2.

For season 11 it would have been more entertaining if both Sebastian and Jeremy stayed and Barett or Susan went home as both were much more lethal (although Barrett wasn't until later), Susan honestly should have been on thin ice already from the raw signature dish. Kicking her out and then her smiling about it as she left should have been enough for Ramsay to choose her despite being on the winning team. As much of a clown Sebastian was, I'd have given him one more chance.

Aaron from Season 16 got robbed big time. He should have survived against the idiots like Johnny, Matt and Paulie.
