as I always say Hell's Kitchen is not for the faint of heart as you're on very little sleep
stress is at an all-time high all the while dealing with Ramsay and battling out with
other stressed out contestants for a quarter of a million dollars throw in some brutal physical
punishments every once in a while as well and it's not surprising that sometimes chefs fall
to the elements of Hell's Kitchen and are forced to be medically evacuated from the competition of
a lifetime what's going on guys I'm Flint Masters and today we'll be looking at the entire history
of medical evacuations in Hell's Kitchen we'll take a look at what led up to the injury how
serious it was and at the end of the video I'll get my predictions on how I think these chefs
would have done had they not had the lead due to medical reasons I also need to clear up that even
though G and Vanessa got seriously injured in their respective Seasons technically they both
quit the competition so I'll talk more about them in my history of quitting video but before we
begin everyone please help out the channel by hitting that like And subscribe button if you
enjoy Hell's Kitchen content like this and with all that said let's take a look back at the most
scary sad and in some cases game-changing metabags in Hell's Kitchen bloody hell here we go again
the first medical evacuation took place in season two and honestly it wasn't very
noteworthy as Larry would be the one to suffered this unfortunate phage after a fun night with the
ladies admittedly a downfall for him he began to have trouble breathing the next night to the
point where he was forced to be taken out of the competition having to break the news to the others
from his hospital bed a cool albeit very sad touch to these evacuations from Old School Seasons as
opposed to today where Ramsay is usually the one who tells the contestants hello is everybody there
yeah hold on everybody let's go who is that is that Larry stress of everything basically shut
my body down I won't be back I don't know Larry I would rather Larry leave because of something
else not because of a nail in this um I just need y'all to stay strong be a unit pretty devastating
uh too much stress got to him thanks Larry um Larry it's hard for me to see my dreams slip away
the next season we had a truly scary and sad evacuation especially given the circumstances
despite Aaron being a goofball you couldn't help but love the guy as he was a self-proclaimed
Asian Cowboy that was as sweet as could be but due to not being in the best health condition
coming into the competition the stress and the elements got the best of Aaron
during the episode 3 punishment the blue team is counting on every man to get the job done [Music]
Aaron's is kind of fainted go
this was brutal for a couple reasons as this was truly the first time the audience saw just
how hard Hell's Kitchen can be on the average person throwing the fact that Ramsay was the
one who broke the news to Aaron over the phone that he would not be returning followed by his
heartbreaking reaction and man it's also tough to watch especially knowing now that Aaron would
unfortunately passed away three years later due to the same health conditions that took his Hell's
Kitchen dream away your friends you have I've worked all this time to come to this point to work
for you you have a serious illness to doctor's orders you cannot come back into this kitchen
get yourself better bye bye-bye bye I feel disappointed I've worked almost 40
years in a kitchen to for what yes I'm coming home
we keep this sadness going with Robert's medical evacuation in season five this was the latest
evacuation to ever take place in Hell's Kitchen and while Robert was obviously never beating
Danny or Paula it had to be so frustrating to be forced to leave the competition so late as
he revealed to Ramsay and his teammates that he had pericarditis leading to a tearful goodbye
unbeknownst to the other chefs Robert has sought medical attention what's going on right now
just having a chest pain okay
blood pressure
is Ellen hospital I hope he's all right that's all [Music]
we came back minus one individual I'm not going to tell you how he's doing I'm going to let him
tell you himself Chef Roberts yeah yeah how you feeling not good ah not good I have pericarditis
which is the swelling of the sac around the heart which leads to heart disease are you coming back
no no I'm not coming back Daddy oh man
I just want to tell you that you have been a fantastic competitor never ever ever forget
that thank you very much okay boy give me your jacket and leave Hell's Kitchen
take care good luck guys we love you man I'm leaving Hell's Kitchen so I have my for
my family for my career I feel like I've won we then had two seasons in a row where chefs
were forced to be evacuated before the first dinner service in season eight it was Antonia
who seemingly out of nowhere got a really bad headache and overall sickness I don't want to
be that guy but I wonder if she was forced to be pulled after eating her gumbo which made her sick
oh my head is hurting me Antonia Antonia Antonia oh my head is hurting [Music]
because my head hurts I hit a migraine let me look at you here oh my head I
don't know what's wrong with me you okay talk to me what's the matter talk to me
it
I just don't feel good
and then in season nine Jason Felch of the elements two days into the competition this
is definitely the best story on the list though as Jason will get a second chance in season 12
finishing as the runner-up and I think I can safely say he wasn't making the final two in
season 9 with Will and Paul rounds although I wish we could have seen him rage at Elise
the same way he raged as Sandra whatever oh what's going on man he's burning up he
needs to cool now so really we how long has this thing going on for I've been breathing
like this like for the past hour all right you don't really sound all right gotcha I'm fine
it's all wet
unfortunately Jason's been taken to the hospital he'll be on a few days of bed rest he will not be
returning back to Hell's Kitchen damn like we didn't really get out to the gates and in like
weird Dollar Man like how the hell that happened the back-to-back train continues here as we got
an evacuation at the final 11 of both season 13 and 14 and 13 Steve would injure his knee during
the blue team's punishment and once he talked with Ramsay about what happened Gordon himself
would actually be the one to lay the hammer down on Steve as opposed to the Medics not feeling
comfortable having Steve in the kitchen with the amount of pain he was in my body's sore you know
carrying heaviest boxes all day long my knee is killing me all right bro well like I can't
straighten my leg my leg doesn't go straight like this this needs like twice the size of this knee
wow this is a bit of a shock what happened Bud oh my knees uh won't straighten out
all around here is all swollen that's shooting pain you know what this means
I'm not comfortable with you oh
even attempting you should not be standing on this it's tough but you know what but you've
been strong in that blue kitchen I want you to walk out of here where you head up high I'm
gonna get my knee fixed so I can get better and get back in the kitchen yeah bye Steve
The Following Season we had without question the funniest medical evacuation ever as terrible as
that is to say but come on can you blame me there are chefs who are being forced
to leave due to life-threatening injuries and then there's Brett who was forced to
be evacuated after taking too big of a dump damaging his back in the process ah oh why
hey he needs a medic back here what do you have a problem in the bathroom
and I just was taking and something happened turn your back oh you're taking it like that's
something you see on like in like a horror movie I'm just hoping God's wife that's the main concern
ah if you need anything just holler yo thank you bro no problem no blue team man I'm sorry
y'all hi buddy I've been better unfortunately I have a slipped disc pinching on my sciatic Nerf
time press uh she's done bloody well okay but I cannot let you continue right now you've got
to think of yourself uh and not the blue team I'm not Health kitchen younger okay get better
thank you okay thank you friends it was an honor thank you I will take this to the Grave [Music]
we finish off with the writer doll medical exit with that being Drew from season 19 but this is
a good reminder that Hell's Kitchen can still be brutal and take its toll on the body even
if Ramsay has toned it down a bit after the second service of the Season Drew began to
feel pain and aches over his body which landed him in the hospital the show actually did give
him a couple days to improve for a chance back in but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be with Drew
becoming the eighth and as of now final person to be medically evacuated from Hell's Kitchen
my body hasn't felt right for a couple of days you know I'm sore I'm cramping I'm cramping in
every part of my body I know it's getting worse because I am cramping here here I'm
creeping everywhere like I'm getting full body cramps I'm getting headaches I got lightheaded
earlier today like I almost passed out uh we should get you to the hospital
I'm just trying to really stay focused on my own overall health and my children [Music]
now a quick update on Drew unfortunately he's not 100 and therefore he will not be returning
to the competition ah it's not good so let's now finish off the video with my take on what
would have happened had it not been for these evacuations unfortunately for Larry and Aaron
I don't think they have much longevity in the competition anyway and probably would have been
won the next couple of boots I think Robert would have been the third place fallen angel of season
five as the guy would have had to seriously suck to get eliminated before Andrea or Ben
after their disastrous blackjacket performances while we literally have no proof on how Antonio
was on the line judging by her signature dish and in general being a 40 year old loud mouth I don't
think she was very long for the competition on the other hand I think Jason would have took Tommy's
place in fourth in season nine and may have even led the blue team to a couple more victories as
him Paul and will would have made one hell of a trio as far as Steve goes he was already on thin
ice as he had been put up for three eliminations and was likely one of the next couple of boots
while Brett on the other hand is very ambiguous as he literally made to the final three on season
18 but obviously the season 18 Talent was no match to the talent of season 14. if I had to bet I see
him finishing around 8th or seventh place maybe even getting unfairly eliminated as I think the
black jackets of that season were always going to be the final and lastly while Drew did show a
bit of Promise he literally could have been the first Boot and with how talented the season 19
cast was I think he would have survived a couple more episodes likely being eliminated before the
first cook for your life challenge so there you have it guys the history and my predictions of
all the medical evacuations in Hell's Kitchen if you enjoyed this video and want to see more
