what's going on guys I'm Flynn Masters and today we'll be looking at five more times Hell's Kitchen
contestants hatch competitions in part one we discuss some very interesting strategies
used by Hell's Kitchen chefs but there's even more clever competition hacks to talk about
and we'll be looking over the most genius ones today be sure to subscribe and like for more
fun HK content like this and with that let's take a look back at some more Hell's Kitchen
hacks bloody hell here we go again [Music] many times in Hell's Kitchen we see chefs nominate
themselves for elimination with most of the time it being because they feel like they deserve to go
up however every once in a while a chef puts himself up or their team nominates a strong
Chef to go up against a person they want out the problem is they don't usually hide that they're
doing this and even if they don't go home this is seen in a very negative light by Ramsay but
Cody in season 19 went about this strategy in the perfect way at the final eight the entire
blue team was sick of Mark and his attitude and one him gone however Mark always seems to survive
elimination with Adam getting the boot over him the previous round still being one of the most
unfair eliminations in the show's history not to mention Declan and Amber both have some bad
nights and thus could be at risk of getting sent home over Mark so Cody knowing he did the best
that night nominee himself up for elimination to go against mark but instead of saying this was
strategic he played up as if he was generally disappointed with his service and acted as if
he deserved to go up there over Declan and Amber so by doing this Ramsay was forced to eliminate
Mark as the obviously just can't break the fourth wall to call out what was really going on and so
with Cody quotes acting like he 100 deserve to go up over Declan and Amber but deep down
realized that there was no way he was going home Ramsay had no choice but to finally eliminate mark
Cody blue team's second nominee and why um that person is Misha you yeah Chef I wanted to be the
voice of the kitchen I wanted to carry our team and I felt comfortable doing so you're prepared
to go home tonight Cody Chef I'm prepared to fight for my position right now and if I need to step up
as a leader then I'm ready to do that I'm very team oriented the team is incredibly important
to me and I've been trying to keep it alive since the beginning outside of that I think I
am an incredible leader and I am adjusting every single day more and more and that's why there
you are not ready to become my head chef in Lake Tahoe for sure thank you thank you good night
I hope Chef Ramsay sees the potential in me that
I know that I have that being said finally that snake ass [ __ ] is gone
one of the most common dinner service themes in Hell's Kitchen is the red versus blue team menu
service where the teams make their own menu as opposed to Chef Ramsay making that night's
menu in almost every case of this challenge the contestants overthink the menu argue with each
other and in general try to be too cute with their dishes but in season 12 the red team did something
that surprising no team had ever thought of and that was to Simply put items on the menu that they
knew they could do as opposed to trying to get too fancy for the diamond's approval case should
Looney put us in their dish on the menu Anton was one of the few chefs who could make scallops That
season enjoy even campaigned harder for her but love fried chicken the red team strategy here was
so powerful that it essentially broke this dinner service concept as the red versus blue team menu
never appeared again after this season I'm from New York State okay okay with the blue cheese crab
butter they remembered my signature dish I have a New York strip with a blue cheese crab butter
and steak's delicious he really liked it I'm thinking scallops with a goat cheese pesto topping
okay pesto I'm pretty psyched to actually give Chef Ramsay my version of sound
I want to do some crispy ass chicken faster I don't think we should even get involved with
that tonight blah blah blah blah blah blah blah don't be scared is chicken Joy has just
delivered her highly anticipated Fried Chicken to the pass Joy DC cooks really nice let's go [Music]
just thank you yeah Chef nicely done thank you yeah boy right slow start Strong Finish
so the winning team tonight the Red Sea
speaking of comment one of the most common reward challenges in Hell's Kitchen is to taste and not
make a challenge where the chefs have to use all their senses to recreate Ramsay's dish however in
a couple different seasons the contestants were able to out thank Ramsay and get a leg up on
their competitors in season 4 despite seeing the loved ones for the first time in weeks Christina
was able to hone in on the dish Ramsay served them figure it'll come in handy later and sure
enough the dish that found out they were given would be the dish you would have to recreate for
the taste of not make it challenge with Christina coming out on top and then in season 18 the newly
crowned black jackets were given a congratulations meal by Chef Ramsay but veteran arrow is also
able to realize that she likely needed to pay attention to this dish and even told Mia about
the ingredients and at the challenge both Ariel Mia recreated the dish to Perfection being Crown
joint winners only the second time in history this had ever happened and the first time where
Chef Ramsay personally named joint winners it just goes to show that Hell's Kitchen never slows down
and you have to have your head in the game at all times and Ariel and Christina who both would end
up winning their respective seasons were able to see through Ramsay's niceness and thus dominated
this tough challenge while Corey and petroza enjoy their families Christie has something else on her
mind there's always a Twist to everything so you gotta really be on your feet I was trying to enjoy
my time with my parents but I was also trying to figure out what was in the dish because that was
the only thing I could think of that I can't determine what the sauce is for the base cream
cream it feels like it's got egg yolk in it cream you all tasted the dish I seriously hope
you are paying attention [Music] all of you are gonna make it that is your next challenge
I was just so wrapped up with my family that I didn't think about the challenge the winner is
Christina Well Done hey I won again Sweet you got every element on there
Patrol is a very close second again if I had some form of puree on there you would have won
it I wonder what he does to the eggs I don't know look at him though right yeah peppers onions I'm
pretty sure that I need to pay attention so I've mentally logged all the dishes and presentation
did you notice that it's two different types of things one was ham they both have bacon on top
of them I think it's prosciutto the winner of the taste it now make it challenge both
you congratulations so you both have the exact same number of ingredients correct
the biggest raw challenge is one of my personal favorite challenges as in this
challenge the cheers have the roll of dice and pick it in green that starts with the
letter of the diceland design and in season six it's safe to say that men didn't exactly
think of good ingredients on the spot good start and what goes well with haddock ah
I'm thinking fennel right off the bat figs big
kid at me pigs and haddock and hey angel angel hair pasta I usually have pasta
it's not the best answer in the world but hey it's not figs hey apples I say apple probably wasn't a
good thing but oh well we're already in let's get a little further haddock thanks angel hair pasta
apples and tomatoes yeah I'm no chef but just hearing and trying to imagine those ingredients
going together is pretty hysterical and yet unbelievably the blue team was able to create
a very good dish with these bizarre ingredients well maybe it's not necessarily A hacking that
the chefs I thought Ramsay or the competitors the fact that they put out a decent dish much less a
dish that won the reward is simply incredible men are trying to find a way to make the figs work in
their dish I'm gonna use your scraps yeah yeah how are we doing right here whoa I just put figs
in there see it's not bad right surprisingly isn't that awesome dude that's pretty good
bro when I tasted that sauce I knew we we had a chance we have a raised haddock and a tomato and
fig sauce the Fig was a sweetened the acidity of the Tomato very clever this is delicious
the winning dish [Music] The Blue Team
and we won we're like the MacGyver of cooking just
throwing everything together and all of a sudden you got a bomb and a nice dish oh
I've mentioned Michael Ray multiple times on this channel as him numbering Chris next to LC
and sabotaging Ralph out the past essentially broke Hell's Kitchen as these hacks literally
changed Hell's Kitchen from a drama show two more so Ramsay show however Mike would come up with yet
another clever hack during the episode 5 dinner service since the red team did their surface
first Michael knew the blue team would be low on lasagna after being a popular appetizer during
their service so he got the red team on board to push the customers to order as much lasagna
as possible which in theory would slow down the team of three blue team if not completely back
up service if they were to run out of pasta while the boot team was able to overcome the sabotage
and even win service this was yet another genius move from hell's kitchen's biggest Mastermind and
honestly the booty magically had the worst Service as they served less tables than the red team but
due to the red team making more mistakes any Ramsey going a bit easy on the blue team for
having one less member that's the only reason why this genius sabotage didn't work what's
that you know what the low on yeah Boston man I know what they're low on I know what they're
going to be hurting on lasagna hands down it's a pain in the ass to make and so we're gonna try to
shove as much that down that throat as we can I do recommend office here lasagna I really fell in
love with that asparagus lasagna okay lasagna yeah lovely love it thank you right blue team
an order one totally Me main course for lasagna once spaghetti of clams yeah sure thank you I'm
gonna have a lasagna you can't go wrong once we get to your clams it was clear that the red team
tried to sabotage us we just had so many orders of lasagnas coming in yeah they're playing dirty
one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 tables we go
shut it down yes finished two hours of gone Andrew Ralph Jessica that was not impressive switch it
off clean down you actually serve more food than the blue tea you actually left 42 of your diners
with no main courses so there you have it guys five more times Hell's Kitchen contestants had
