hello everyone hope you're having the most fantastic day today welcome to the film insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some contestants that were featured on the 8th
season of hell's kitchen and reveal how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further
ado let's get right into the content guys first up is antonia borgman hailing from chicago illinois
the 40 year old borgman came in last on season 8 of hell's kitchen her stay in hell's kitchen was
short-lived after she served Gordon Ramsay what is possibly one of the worst signature dishes ever
before coming to hell's kitchen she worked as a line cook and a beautician in her interview for
the show she stated that her favorite items to use in the kitchen were salt pepper and tabasco
for the signature dish challenge she presented a mardi gras gumbo which quite literally had
the appearance of diarrhea it made Ramsay sick and upon tasting it even the other contestants
were horrified by the brown liquid borgman had manufactured it was a horrid start for borgman
and also the end of her run in hell's kitchen what is it it's a mardi gras gumbo oh god
does it normally look like a plate of liquid [ __ ] no every time i
make my gumbo it always gets eaten and everybody loves it it's going to be good
excuse me
this is because borgman unfortunately came down
with a migraine and had to be hospitalized hey where's
are antonio okay she would not return and became the only contestant to never participate in a
single dinner service there have been rumors swirling around that she was so thoroughly
embarrassed by her signature dish that she faked a migraine just to get out in any case after the
show she moved to new york city after quitting her job as a sales associate for mood designer fabric
today she works for etsy the e-commerce company for our next entry we have lisa la franca
hot on the heels of borgman was a 48 year old lisa lafranca a corporate food director
from brooklyn new york her signature dish was an unremarkable dry meat platter food director lisa
why is it so dry he's up against camp chef louis as for the first dinner service the red team was
already down one chef because of borgman's early departure though i'm not sure she would have
been much help given her atrocious diarrhea signature dish lefranco was also a slow cook
which effectively slowed down her team at least is slow she's so slow she moves like a turtle
they're not in the pan right now what she also managed to send out raw halibut to
the past causing her to be the red team's first nominee for elimination lisa yes chad
it's sushi i'm sorry chef hey madam what's happening here she ended up being the first
to be officially eliminated and Ramsay's last comment about her cooking was very negative
the only thing positive i could say about lisa's performance tonight she didn't kill anyone
after the show she returned to her job as a food and beverage director for a food
management company as our next entry we're going to cover lewis curtis louis curtis was a 26 year
old executive chef from bb arkansas he was the third contestant to leave hell's kitchen and was
eliminated after being placed at the sushi station something he had little experience with but even
before that he presented a signature dish of lemon pepper chicken that Gordon Ramsay thought was crap
between you and i chef the chef it's [ __ ] yes during the first dinner service he made some
poorly cut sushi with no wasabi how long that one did it no sure show me what you have got
embarrassing he also took way too long to prepare it and therefore dragged down his
team's performance in his defense he did state that he sucked at making sushi yet was still
placed at the sushi station anyway on the other hand if you can't prepare raw food then you've got
a problem especially if you're appearing on hell's kitchen when Ramsay caught wind of his
bad wasabi-less sushi he kicked him out of the kitchen instantly he had somehow incurred the
wrath of Ramsay because even though he wasn't nominated for elimination he was sent packing
some say Ramsay had it in for him but who knows Ramsay's last comment disparaged his cooking
but also mentioned that he was a good kid you completely destroyed the slim possibility of
the blue team succeeding this evening give me a jacket and leave house kitchen please
after the show curtis returned to his job at the lulav restaurant as an executive chef
he later launched his own catering company called chef lewis and chef rob catering
currently speaking he's the executive chef at harding university we can't move on without
giving mention to raj branston raj branston is a favorite amongst hell's kitchen fans but for
the wrong reasons he was a bumbling buffoon that Gordon Ramsay mocked for having cooked longer than
himself and yet his output was always lacking he best described his rhino hell's kitchen when he
said i'm being targeted i'm being harassed and i'm really at the point where i don't know what to do
he always looked like a fish out of water in the kitchen branston was a 49 year old private chef
who hailed from queens new york he supposedly had 35 years of experience cooking and had even
attended the culinary institute of america so it was pretty unclear why he sucked so much at
what he did regardless of how bad he was it was definitely a joy to see him work because he was
just so terrible his signature dish was a seafood and vegetable pancake only wasn't like any pancake
i've ever seen granted it wasn't that horrible this is a seafood and vegetable pancake my god
is it what a seafood and vegetable pancake pancake yeah it's a pancake what that is a pancake
it's a yeah does that look like a pancake oh it's going for a piss a pancake that pisses during the
first dinner service branston was assigned as a waiter and he mumbled and fumbled his way through
that he was barely able to explain the specials to the diners he was also seen talking to himself at
the pass what a wacko later on during the same dinner service branston was sent to the pizza
station to help out boris and he managed to screw that up as well making them both look silly the
mozzarella cheese i got the cheese all i'm asking you is to please help me roll though where is it
what's here first shape it here put it here put it down shape it let it go so you can't roll it
roll the [ __ ] pizza dough here's more mozzarella i rolled a [ __ ] pizza doll what are you doing
his performance led to him becoming the blue team's first nominee but as
many wouldn't believe he survived in the second episode his team won the sushi
challenge despite him not having put wasabi in three of his tuna nigiri pieces no wasabi out
his performance led to him being nominated a second time but yet again he survived
this is because according to Ramsay lewis curtis contributed more to the blue team's
poor performance in episode 3 branson failed to both season his food and do a good job of
polishing glasses polishing glasses was their punishment for losing the day's challenge
and branston couldn't even manage to do that it was honestly really funny to watch him but
i can't imagine how infuriated his teammates were by his total incompetence ah seriously i mean can
you not see that are you gonna look just do his glasses over that's not fair just do it
over this is harassment now at this point his teammates were getting tired of his antics and
they began insulting his character calling him old and useless for another one of the dinner
services chef ramsay smashed and obliterated branston's raw salmon in frustration it's roll
okay the incapable branson also managed to waste a few dover soul fish they had so when diners asked
for dover soul there were no more to serve this was it for branston as chef ramsay had had enough
when it came time for elimination he was sent home despite being on the winning team one comment on
youtube about branson read if raj had won the competition and got in his own restaurant i can
guarantee he would have ended up appearing in an episode of kitchen nightmares ramsay's comment
on branston was equally as denigrating he was the fourth contestant to leave hell's kitchen
when the gone gets tough in the kitchen our chef puts his head down and cooks all raj wanted to
do was put his head in the freezer and that's why he stayed in hell's kitchen was a short one
after hell's kitchen branson went back to his old job as a personal chef as of this year he
was working at franco's in brooklyn and for various venues as a catering chef he also
managed to lose some weight for our next entry we're going to cover luis orapucci luis torapucci
hailed from diamond bar california and was 28 years old when he appeared on hell's kitchen he
worked as a children's camp chef and had 14 years of cooking experience he was the fifth contestant
to be eliminated from the show his signature dish was a lobster that ramsay didn't even get to taste
as he couldn't separate the lobster meat from its shell during the sushi challenge he was paired
with rob and together they failed to put wasabi in all of their tuna nigiri despite this they got
four of their sushi accepted ah no wasabi not good enough four out of nine with a mediocre start of
four acceptable sushi during the dinner service he messed up his caesar salad and found the time to
sarcastically note that it was miraculous that raj hadn't died from his buffoonery back at the dorms
he got into a verbal fight with raj who arrogantly mocked the other teammates by calling them kids he
warned raj not to look down on them when he had failed to become a decent cook despite his age
in the fourth episode ropucci received help from trev on his ravioli but he deviously insulted
him by saying that he only saw him as a tool not a chef a saute pan trev can follow simple
instructions or directions but he's not a chef he's a tool to be used all right you want to help
me roll this no problem in any case the salmon moose pine nut ravioli turned out to be disgusting
and chef ramsay spit it out his performance during the dinner service was also a miss
it featured cold salmon burnt pork chops and raw salmon he ended up being the first nominee for the
blue team that night and was eliminated for being the worst performer louie thank you jacob big man
yes chef thank you chef thank you get back to camp yes sure louis the camp cook dreamed of
fine dining but the only thing i would trust him with is toasting a marshmallow kumbaya my
after appearing on the show ropucci went on to work as an executive chef at the boulder creek
brewery where he succeeded in moving up the ranks to the management level as our final entry we're
gonna cover emily kutchens the sixth contestant to be eliminated from hell's kitchen was emily
kutchens a 29 year old senior home executive chef from chicago illinois chef gordon ramsay liked her
duck breasts with grape and walnut competes but didn't care much for her cleavage which
was very exposed before we go any further yeah would you mind just sort of covering
your puppies just a little bit sorry yeah i'm a little bit boobalicious gotta give like the dna
but this is my favorite date outfit it usually does well would you mind just putting it on in
case something pops out what is it a duck breast with a grape and walnut compote that's nice thank
you to remedy that situation he gave her an apron to cover herself up what a gentleman in the second
episode she did well for the sushi challenge when she and sabrina managed to get seven of their
sushi accepted chef emily and prep chef sabrina to keep the momentum going nice beautifully done in
salmon sliced beautiful it's in beautiful in in in in seven out of nine well done well done well done
well done in the third episode though she burned her bacon to which sabrina called her a dumb ass
she was also no help during the dinner service as she misinformed jillian that her appetizer
needed more salts only for it to be returned because it had way too much of it what's wrong
with that red team salty oh dear ladies yeshua now it's coming back salty taste taste taste
i don't think it's healthy i don't think so she also couldn't garnish the food on time and that
caused her to be put up for elimination in the fifth episode she did very poorly during the
dinner service her crab cakes were soggy and her halibut was raw that series of mistakes
effectively ended her run and she was eliminated for her poor performance emily give me a jacket
thank you for this opportunity chef thank you like everyone in hell's kitchen
emily started at the bottom unfortunately she stayed there
after the show she returned to her job before becoming a director of catering and foodstuffs
she's also a food blogger at the buttery babe well that'll be all for today's video here on
