Hell's Kitchen can sometimes be frustrating for the contestants as chefs like Hassan and Kailyn
can be eliminated early despite showing great promise simply due to the bad timing of their
poor service and chefs like Aaron and Ashley have straight up been unfairly eliminated early on
in the competition as well however in the exact opposite situation certain Hell's Kitchen chefs
make it way too far into the competition as for whatever reason they seem to dodge bullets after
bullet what's going on guys I play Masters and today we'll be looking at the Hell's Kitchen
chefs who outstand their welcome on the show as they made deep runs despite not being very good
chefs before we begin please be sure to hit that subscribe and like button as this is the place to
be if you love long and short form HK content with all that said let's take a look back at
hell's kitchen's luckiest contestants and just how the heck these chefs were able to make it so far
bloody hell here we go again one of the more prominent modern day chefs who outstand their
welcome is Paulie from season 16. as he somehow made it to the final four despite essentially
struggling throughout the entire competition heck he was lucky enough to be the first boot of the
Season as he offered himself up for elimination which is a big No-No not to mention his opponent
in only made one mistake that night while he was able to escape by the rest of the early
competition his flaws really began to show in the mid game as he was nominated three of the
four times between Services six and nine with him basically meeting himself he should have gone home
after his third time up but was able to survive after throwing Cooper into the bust bringing up
his chair destroying rage to Ramsay and then when we get back to the back he's smashing
chairs and I rape I don't think that that's somebody who's a leader or a team player poorly
back in line Coupe get here he then got a no lucky break at the final eight as the Spider-Man having
the worst pass of the night which is usually a definite on Hell's Kitchen at this stage he still
survived over windy and then at the final six we got the first introduction of the now annual
blackjacket Lounge challenge where the chefs had to earn the black jacket through masterchef-like
challenges instead of doing Services you know the part that actually matters had it not been
for this twist more than likely Polly wouldn't have made the black jackets as he was the weakest
Chef out of the final six and this showed right away at the first blackjacket service
as he was the main problem in the kitchen that night leading to one of the worst black jacket
services in Hell's Kitchen history all he has the tails up there oh no young man wrong
they're still not cooking where's the basket on this Here's Your Bass garnish
rule raw pancetta all of you all of you get to out of it and yet despite that it looked like
he would dodge another bullet and get a chance to run the final four pass as Kim was eliminated over
him but then Ramsay eliminated Paulie right then and there putting an end to a very undesered final
four run you have been on the ropes many times but you've always bounced back but not tonight
give me your jacket
thank you for the opportunity chef one of the reasons why I left season 12 so much is due to
just how unpredictable it is with Gabriel making a fire than Anton and nearly making it till back
jackets that season probably being one of the most shocking things in the show's history as I
guarantee you nobody would have even had that as an inkling of ever happening five episodes into
the season seriously Gabriel was a big reason for the worst surface in Hell's Kitchen history as he
and DeMarco failed to get one fish dish out on opening night and he followed that performance
up by serving not one but two raw chickens oh my goodness again chicken that is pink
raw chicken followed by raw chicken all of you stop out of there he then survived the breakfast
round simply due to the Marco game nominated for the fifth straight time and despite all the
inconsistency from everyone to start the season Gabriel along with Beth were the clear weaklings
at that point in the season now to his credit he definitely improved as time went on and even
played dirty at times as he went away from the blue team's nomination of him at the final 11
and nominated Ralph instead which saved him from going home as more than likely Ramsay would have
kept Scott over Gabriel at the final 10 he had a tough night at the important charity night service
but was spared due to Sandra being even worse and then survived once again at the final nine
simply due to the fact that Richard was nearly twice his age while he did leave The Blue Team
to an all-time great service at the final eight the pressure of the black jackets got to him
the following service and while I love Gabe this really was for the best as is truly unfathomable
how he came one good service away from earning a black jacket after his performance this season
Gabriel has ruined salmon not once I got salmon this drives anything inside you can't give me
crispy salmon but three times the salmon is bro stop the competition for you is over get
out for sure hey young man front door get out just didn't go my way tonight it was just one
bad service too many instead of getting a black jacket they took my took my blue jacket because
usually the chefsu outstand are welcome are villains of the show and a big reason why
they survive is due to their business personality obviously being a potential ratings draw however
this next Chef was anything but a villain in his season and is in fact one of my personal
favorite chefs in the show's history with that being Tommy Stevens from season nine and yeah
even despite Tommy's single-handedly making the season watchable for me I have to ask the question
everyone wants to know the answer to how the hell did he make it all the way to the final four for
starters he got extremely lucky that the season 9 blue team was a train wreck as even though Tommy
really struggled early on and probably would have been booted in episode 3 had the blue team lost
that service he was able to not suck as bad as the likes of Steven Chino and Monterey when the
mid game wrote around while he didn't exactly get any better per se his averageness didn't
Stand Out compared to the likes of Jonathan and Natalie who both had pretty big downfalls he got
extremely lucky to survive over carry at the final age as Tommy had the worst service that night
and was arguably worse than her overall up until that point not only that but Carrie versus Elise
obviously made for juicy TV as well and Ramsay could have potentially squeezed more drama out
of the two had he spared Carrie over Tommy and even during the home stretch while he started
really wasn't bad he made a mistake in pretty much every single service but yet through luck
and somehow never been the clear worst nominee he was able to sneak his way to the final four where
he showed he simply didn't belong having won the worst passes in Hell's Kitchen history but
again while it's pretty crazy that Tommy made it that far I'm absolutely glad he did laughs
um so that's the joke Tommy your mum's there
I don't care about mineral baths and foot massages and rich people I like chicken wings and domestic
beer and motorcycle rides this isn't the end this is the beginning for me and I'm just gonna keep
on climbing until I conquer the world sticking with season nine we have the chef that finished
one spot ahead of Tommy with that of course being the infamous Elise now in all honesty
she absolutely deserved to survive her first couple of nominations as the likes of Gina and
Krupa were bigger weed links on the red team early on however there's no doubt at least got
extremely lucky she wasn't on a more talented cast because she certainly wasn't Flawless in
those first couple of episodes her string of luckily survive and eliminations began at the
final nine where despite carrying Elise being the ones to get kicked out of the kitchen that night
Jaime was the one sent home then at the final six she was given a black jacket over Elizabeth
despite Elizabeth being much stronger than Elise throughout the season with that being a first
time up for elimination compared to elise's fifth now yes you could argue that despite
both Jamie and Elizabeth be more consistent than Elise they had both shown signs of melting down
and given up which is obviously a huge No-No for Ramsay especially this late into the competition
and let's be honest here had at least not been the Big Time personality she was she more than
likely doesn't make it to the black jackets but hey fine there's been worse eliminations
so I can see the argument that Elise deserved a black jacket but certainly she won't last if
she has an all-time bad black jacket service right [Music] useless look at the state of that dry ass
walking
all of you stop coming to you put your finger in there not pink bro all of
you pop out of here all of you get out I promise if you will defend me to the end
I will have what happened solely based on cooking chef uh pure cooking I think Elise
is a stronger cook than Jennifer are you serious you are kidding me
[Music] Jennifer darling come here
[Music] despite Elise being extremely inconsistent throughout the season the
lack of talent combined with her one in million villainous Persona nearly landed
her spot in the final two seriously how can someone as bad as Elise nearly make
it to the final two oh well I guess there has been another Chef even worse than Elise
that actually did make it to the final two I personally think that you have for Virginia
yes we now move on to the runner-up of season two in Virginia seriously this was a 12 person
season and she manages to make the list that's how much of a disgrace her final two run is now
straight up I'm not here to argue any of her survived eliminations especially during the
team portion of the competition as season 2 is arguably the least haunted season ever and
while Virginia sucked she didn't suck as bad as some of the other chefs this season and thus she
basically fell into a black jacket and then when the black jackets came she didn't get much better
and survived two straight someone controversial eliminations to reach the final three at the
final five Garrett was sent home over Virginia despite that being his first time up compared
to Virginia's fourth with the main reason being that he served raw chicken which while not a death
sentence nowadays was a big No-No in season two and speaking of season two this season is one of
only two seasons to have a final four immunity reward challenge which Virginia would end up
winning and thus had this been essentially any other season she would have been eliminated at
the final four after her horrendous performance and then of course at the final three her midly
great pass performance compared to Keith's mediocre pass earned her spot in the final two
and to this day Virginia remains as a unanimous vote for warsaw's kitchen finalist Virginia
I'm unprepared I don't know the menu I don't know the times it's just I just
want some food now I don't know what to do it was horrible like I'm so miscombobulated
Virginia this chef lucky to be here this morning but to me the biggest ball of Dodge
in Hell's Kitchen history is Robin as she not only outstate her welcome in season 10 but in
all stars as well at the beginning of season 10 while her personality was definitely always
at 100 she actually laid low in the kitchen not having any truly good or bad services but that
all changed at the final 11. one of the most infamous episodes in the show's history as she
absolutely tamed got into two parts with Kimmy and ultimately would switch to the blue team
this looked to be the spark she needed though as she was the best of the worst in her first night
on The Blue Team but then she went back to her usual inconsistent self and was nominated at the
next three elimination ceremonies and despite her getting what you would think is one last chance
on the blue team she somehow survived all three sneaking her way into the back jackets while her
survival over Brian is controversial I think she got really lucky that Ramsay named the red team
loses along with the blue team at the final nine despite the red team finishing service
not to mention that Kimmy's worst performance just so happened to be on Southern Nights heck
you know she got fortunate when clemenza who Rams himself criticized for how many times he was on
The Chopping Block deserved a final five spot far more than Robin I'm not gonna be the weakest link
I mean me really you you you you you come in
don't kick them out chef is kick me up listen yeah tell me what to do
oh damn chicken get out you did you panic that's the problem you were just you were all over you
got me nervous but then in All Stars it was the same story for robin as after a slow start Ramsay
gave her one more shot on the blue team she would switch to the blue team with 14 chefs left and
yet despite not really having any standout performances she was able to make it to the
black jackets once again this time at the final freaking five so how did she get there well as
we know Hell's Kitchen All-Stars is known for its annoying challenges and Bs eliminations with Robin
ugly being the chef who got the most fortunate in fact at the two elimination challenges she was
literally the last dish to pass each time with her survival over Geo being questioned by the fans as
a classic example of keeping around the better TV character and come on while her dish may have been
better than Jennifer's at the blackjacket lounge challenge Jennifer was hands down the better Chef
That season and most certainly would have earned a black jacket over Robin had it been a regular
service let's also not forget that she survived over van at the final 10 which she absolutely
should have gone home there not to mention van wasn't even when the blue team's nominees oh and
however guided that Robin was supposed to step up her game after the switch not continue to
struggle how did she survive this round she was also lucky to make it to the final seven in the
first place as she struggled at the final nine and eight dinner services and most certainly
would have been the boots had the blue team lost so yeah robin only bsed her way to a blackjack in
season 10 but would do it once again in a freaking All-Star season how someone is inconsistent as
her can have the distinction of being a two-time blackjacket as opposed to the likes of Jennifer
Dana and Van still never ceases to amaze me congratulations well done Dave Chef good job black
