Hell's Kitchen is a month-long stressful journey and I think it's important to take a step back and
give a chef a break when they blow up out of nowhere as the elements of Hell's Kitchen can
simply be too much and even the nicest of chefs will break down eventually however sometimes a
contestant can start out super nice and ready to go and then slowly turned into a flat-out
villain as the season goes on for those of you who aren't familiar with your wrestling terms a heel
turn refers to when a crowd favorite joins the dark side and starts doing business things now
of course you have to be seen as a somewhat heroic Chef to have a heel turn in the first
place so obviously chefs like Elise and Sabrina won't be on the list since they were heals from
the start also I won't be including anyone from my downfalls video after already covering them
despite admitting a lot of them having potential to be on the list with all that said please be

take a look back at hell's kitchen's biggest heel turns bloody hell here we go again [Music]
at number five is Paulie from season 16. on a team full of douchebags Paulie stood out with the likes
of Aaron and Devin as the only readable season 16 blue team members now you could argue he was just
a normal down-to-earth guy who seemed like the nicest person ever compared to his teammates but
I would say he was fired heroic to start the season as he literally volunteered himself to
go up for elimination following a disappointing first service in his eyes and in general he was
an obviously motivated Chef who did his best to help his [ __ ] teammates despite their attitude
and showed some serious humility every time he messed up or was put up for elimination however
at essentially the Midway point of the Season everything changed at the final 11 knowing he
was on The Chopping Block Paulie had a disaster service and turned on his teammates instantly
beginning his heel turn all right we'll sell it now let's see the gun is in the window
it's gonna come it's gonna come right back thanks guys you just screwed me
you just sent me home guys you just sent me home because you screwed me on the time I
asked for two minutes and you guys couldn't give me two minutes I asked for two minutes
that's what I asked for two minutes shut the [ __ ] up that's not two minutes away
okay FYI and then that same night Paulie got to a huge fight with hoop and even took a low blood
him at the nomination ceremony when he referred to Coop's tantrum in the dorms a move so devious that
it likely saved him from elimination and then when we get back to the back he's smashing chairs and
irate can't control his anger I don't think that that's somebody who's a leader or a team player
with this heel turned out fully underway Paulie was basically a different person compared to
his first hit episodes as he was a constant complainer who would always put the blame on
his teammates as opposed to himself showed some obvious sexism at points and in general
had a nasty attitude for basically no reason it's hard to believe that the same guy who
volunteered himself up for elimination on night one out of respect for his teammates would turn
into such a douchebag but Devin should have went home I mean anybody with eyes saw that
you you stupid redneck of course none of the girls did anything wrong these girls are such
shiesty you got four girls one dude I'm gonna be the odd man out the only guy the only guy here no
that is not it you're not even act like you had a perfect service I'm not saying I don't deserved
to be up there but it's just funny how everybody else but you're saying it the reason why you're
up there is because you're the only guy left probably Focus do you understand what I'm saying
if she wins she wins 250k if I help her win what do I get zip zero hey Ryan
the next biggest healer turn comes from the most recent season without the anterra
on paper Tara would appear to be the level mom archetype sort of in line with Mindy from that
same season and here's the thing Not only was she in fact very genuine and acted like a mom
figure for the younger chefs after the swap but she had an Underdog Story to go along with that
season 21 was the Battle of the ages with the 40-somethings getting absolutely demolished by
the 20-somethings and the first two services to the point where Ramsay literally got rid of
the theme right afterwards due to it being so lopsided but even after the swap the 40 stuff
has continued to get decimated and at the final 11 only 120 something had been eliminated as opposed
to the 640-somethings making it an A3 numbers disadvantage for a 40-something winner but instead
of this being the point in the competition where Tara really began to shine as an underdog this
is where her heel turn would begin you could even say it started an episode prior as Tara
did feel like an outcast along with Mindy on the women's team and felico's Bs that Mindy was being
considered for elimination and after Minnie's elimination she was essentially done with her
team as she felt like they were all against her for being the oldest one and for basically the
rest of the season she became a whiny brat as opposed to the mom figure she was at the start
of the season and in general with her archetype usually being so heroic this made her heel turn
even more shocking and I think it's safe to say she's the first and only villainous mom archetype
in Hell's Kitchen I knew my whole team didn't support me that's why I don't like to work with
females because they're catty [ __ ] all right so you think I'm the weakest in the team yes
they've been gunning for me for a long time I've been waiting for your time with this Cheyenne
you've been gone in for me since day one in this team because you're weak I'm not a weak
Chef Cheyenne Alex seriously this is for you go yourself that's how I feel I have nobody here now
like oh I wish I could talk to was spending you know it's like honestly like they don't nobody can
talk to me anymore like I'm done I'm sorry I know it sucks I feel like you guys are all against me
she feels like we're against her yeah no not because of that just like in general
I'm gonna go talk to her are you okay yourself oh you want to hear my voice you're gonna get my
voice and you're also gonna get the Wrath Of Me No More Mr Nice Guy Here Comes Tara
the next pick may be a bit controversial as a chef here wasn't really that much of a hero to
start the season but their business heel Turing came completely out of nowhere so I feel like I
have to include him with that being Scott Lee from rookies versus veterans and while maybe
unfair I think most people expect a scholarly to be the likel figure for the rookies team as he
was obviously cast to be a potential Millie and for God's sakes the dude was a freaking model on
the side he's naturally good with people and can win them over with his charm but I guess
the downside of being a model is that you can develop a superior attitude and we saw that
from Scott Lee in the most ugly of ways as he bullies trap throughout his entire stay on the
red team now let's be frank here Trev himself isn't exactly a likable figure as he literally
threatened people in his Original season but there's no excuse for the way Godly treated
him throughout the season as he led the charge against Trev to make him an outcast on the red
team blamed him for his mistakes and just in general treated the poor guy like garbage for
basically no reason it really is mind-blowing that scaly acted like this towards Trev and is
one of the more forgotten douchebags of Hell's Kitchen I'm putting it out there
before it starts just go just go because he's gonna make it an argument I'm not making enough
I'm just trying to keep a positive outlook that's it stop running around and get something
done what is that I don't know I don't know are you allergic something is okay
you need to just get looked at real quick hold on somebody cut and I break I guess
my hands they're bleeding stop acting like a baby girl you all right baby girl funny I was wondering
what's wrong with how they had to make sure it was going away I haven't come at you with any
name calling or anything this isn't High School grow up yeah baby girl we got your back I see how
it is baby girl really gets under his skin baby girl come on you ain't doing nothing [Laughter]
at number two is Joy who had a gradual heel turn during her season 12 run in the premiere
she immediately seemed like she would be the fan favorite of the season and she
completely broke down on the fish station after dealing with Santa's harassment and
Nicole's lackluster attitude with those two appearing off the bat to be the main villains
of the red team that season she even made it clear that despite everything she was never
going to give up fighting and this proved to be the case at first as after a tough Premiere
Joy instantly became a standout on the red team dominating the challenges and dinner
services and went from a potential first boot to front runner in a span of Three episodes
that is perfection you've perfected the risottos now you keep the bar up there yes okay it's
five out of five I feel so good now after a rough start here Chef finally got to see that I deserve
to be here I'm so happy but as Joy continued to Diamond the season her attitude began to switch
with her power it begins at the final 13 where Joy Mike Jessica in her final two episodes and
she made fun of her breaking down in tears after being put up for elimination as well
as when she got eliminated in an episode later all of this is pretty ironic since she broke
down in tears as well in the premiere which let's be blunt probably played a major role
in her avoiding nomination that night that's how I feel about her everybody here got a story but
that I'm here right now and I got past that point you know what I'm saying whatever honestly all
this crying [Music] I don't care and then during the mid game she went to Absolute insane levels to
protect her girl Keisha which while I can respect her protecting her friend it doesn't make her
actions any less villainous at the final 10 she led the charge against Rochelle to put her up for
elimination over Acacia simply because Rochelle had talked about wanting to start a family you
know what I'm thinking maybe Rochelle should go up because of the conversation that we had earlier
with Chef Andy she has said her true passion is to start a family I thought about that too are you
serious Rochelle did nothing wrong but now let's throw you you know your partner under the bus time
and then after Anton and Scott joined the red team she didn't even hide the fact that she was unhappy
about having men on her team I don't want anything I don't want him he's not going to be an asset to
our team at all ugh take him back you're coming into a kitchen full of women so don't bring that
robot because it will be me and you up and that I'll let you know now like that's all you can do
these two men they suck and then of course in one of Hell's kitchen's most iconic moments
Joy the same person who said she would never give up quit in the middle of the final five
dinner service after literally making one mistake which while not business per se is definitely not
something we would have ever predicted from the Underdog joy we saw in episode one what a
selfish attitude one thing wrong when you run away absolutely phenomenal no you're not 10
tell you it is you're shouting hey I know you're done it shows in your cooking
get out unbelievable unbelievable
but without question the biggest heel turn in Hell's Kitchen history is Benjamin from
season seven in the summer case of Scott Lee Benjamin wasn't exactly a heroic shepher per
se he was more so just a good Chef who put his head down and went to work something you have
to respect and his strength carried The Blue Team to many victories over the inferior red
team however since the red team was indeed so bad Ramsay put Benjamin on the red team
in hopes he would improve them and man as soon as Benjamin put on a red jacket his attitude
completely changed I mean red is a sign of evil after all I guess during his time on the red
team Benjamin went from a quiet down to earth shab to an absolute arrogant douchebag I don't
know if this was due to him not wanting to be on the pathetic season 7 red team or if it was
a bit of sexism as well but Benjamin constantly bored his teammates who did things differently
than him and in general he just had so many nasty moments during his red team tenure so instead of
Benjamin using the switch as a chance to shine and put a weak team on his back his attitude
did nothing to change the red team's Fortune as he failed to leave them to one Victory and this
heel turn likely cost him a spot in the final two what do you need I don't need anything I got it
if I got Siobhan sandwich when I was eating at a restaurant I'd be pissed and I would want my
money back your dish got voted off I would not serve that sandwich out of my kitchen that's fine
that's your personal opinion it's not my personal opinion isn't my professional opinion you don't
have the experience that I have if you don't know what you're doing and you start putting stuff
together and you need to ask for help you need to do that I'm purely confident in my decisions
don't touch anything on the station just get out of my station please he has no heart no
respect for people station what are we gonna do for size I love rice I love mashed potatoes I'm
not a big fan of serving rice in restaurants because it's like poor food mice is poor food
wow that's crazy listen don't worry about colors worry about
flavors I mean have you seen any dishes that I put out that look
