Hello everyone hope you're having the greatest of days today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some of the most hated contestants to be featured on
hell's kitchen so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content
guys russell cook debuting in the eighth season of the show russell cook ii mainly known as russell
cook left a lasting impression on viewers and not in the best way while cook was pretty quiet
in the beginning of the competition he did evolve into one of the most consistent chefs of a season
putting aside the fact that he had an immense amount of talent cook devolved into one of the
show's biggest bullies not only did he get irate over the smallest things but he would frequently
give threats of physical violence what's more he would intentionally throw his teammates under
the bus to make himself seem better in front of Ramsay which is really scummy to make matters even
worse cook was a colossal sore loser and blamed everyone but himself for his failures making it
all the way to the finals which is definitely a massive feat on its own he sadly wasn't able to
lead his brigade to victory now what makes him so unlikable was his reaction to situations like
these where you just get so incredibly butthurt in response to losing rather than congratulate nonna
sivly for her much deserved win cook had some really stupid things to say he expressed that i
chose a team that i thought would help me win but in fact they helped me lose so thanks a lot guys
you will never get a job in any city i work in and i'll definitely blackball you guys because you eff
me so royally cook was also under the impression that his team sabotaged him which is pretty rich
coming from him that's literally all he did to the other contestants it goes to show that no matter
how much raw talent you may have you're bound to lose if you're incapable of acting like a leader
a true leader will nurture inspire and motivate their team and take full responsibility if their
team succeeds or fails many contestants with physical impediments troubling pass or mediocre
teams were still able to win so cook has no one but himself to blame if we had to compare cook has
a similar energy to nba players like carmelo anthony or allen iverson who are fantastic
individual players but never helped improve those around them you could say that cook might have had
a fighting chance if he acted more like magic johnson who elevated his teammates and made
it easier for them to thrive it's more than clear that he was a talented cook since he scored a 100
on the first individual challenge in episode 11 but he wasn't head chef material despite his awful
personality cook has had a very successful career and has worked as an executive chef at several
high-end restaurants thankfully it seems like he finally learned how to lead a team since that's
what killed him on the show elise harris two-time contestant elise wims harris went on to become one
of the most hated chefs in hell's kitchen history and for good reason making her first appearance in
the ninth season of the show harris ensured that her presence was known from the very beginning
having an extremely big mouth she wouldn't try to say what was on her mind but this would be her
biggest downfall clashing with most of the chefs she competed with harris was so hard to work with
that she barely befriended anyone it really didn't help that she was rude selfish and aggressive but
what made her especially unlikable was her massive ego nothing is more aggravating than dealing with
someone who thinks that they're the best of what they do and that everyone is below them which was
harris's exact mindset as a result she would often blame everyone but herself when she made mistakes
and constantly played the victim unknowingly harris would cry whenever things didn't go the way
she wanted which was so incredibly obnoxious if she didn't sound awful already harris would often
avoid doing the heavy lifting during punishments and stand around like a privileged little princess
much like russell cook she would often act as a boy to the other contestants but
this was especially true with carrie keep who she was bitter with till the very end
unfortunately this brat actually made it pretty far into the competition since she was admittedly
talented however she didn't have what it took to make it to the finals and lost to paul niederman
who was far more qualified regardless of the fact that she was certainly a gifted chef she wouldn't
be able to lead a brigade since no one respects her if i remember correctly the old adage goes no
one cares what you know until they know that you care which harris didn't maybe she would have had
a fighting chance if she wasn't so incredibly selfish and stopped undermining her teammates
returning for the all-star season harris had more than 10 years to change her attitude but it was
still as vile as ever not only was she just as bad but many would even argue that she was worse than
in her first appearance joseph tinley contestant joseph tindley appeared in the sixth season of
the show and has to be one of the craziest chefs to date right from the very beginning
tinley wasn't exactly the most likable person since he was very aggressive and hard-headed
considering the fact that he's a former marine it wouldn't be too surprising if he was dealing
with some sort of mental illness many speculate that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress
disorder since he would have heated outbursts possibly having one of the shortest fuses out
of any contestant in hell's kitchen history he would get irate over the smallest things
for instance when Gordon Ramsay told him to taste the brussels sprouts in his signature dish he got
extremely defensive and asked for utensils since he wasn't quote an animal what's worse
tinley infamously refused to give the nominees for elimination when asked by Ramsay pressed by the
famous chef to do so tinley snapped and challenged Ramsay to step outside and fight him which was
totally out of pocket especially considering his military background it's odd that he would
be so disrespectful to one of his superiors it's not like Ramsay was specifically rude to
him or anything but tinley still claimed that he disrespected him after this incident the former
marine voluntarily withdrew from the competition since he was quote nobody's [ __ ] many fans seem
to think that tinley was planted on the show to boost writings but he's truly who he says he is
regardless of the fact that he didn't make it very far into the competition tinley has to be one of
the most memorable losers to date gina aloise season 11 contestant gina aloise is the perfect
example of how age does an equal maturity being almost half a century old by the time she was
into the competition she was the second oldest contestant of her season this didn't matter all
too much since eloise constantly fooled around and tried to be funny which was pretty annoying what's
more eloise had absolutely no passion or fire in the kitchen and would give up easily when faced
with adversity you could say that she was the complete opposite of a contestant named raymond
alongi who was the oldest in the competition while he actually tried to contribute to his team and
offer up his expertise alois decided that it would be better to make jokes one gag she's infamous for
is bringing out a puppet named alfredo aldente who was a male chef puppet you can bet that the
contestants as well as the viewers were thinking what is this wacko doing playing with puppets in
a cooking competition aside from being extremely weird alois was a weak contestant from the get-go
whose signature dish failed to impress Gordon Ramsay by the second week she decided to part ways
with the competition on her own terms since she apparently needed to attend some personal matters
truthfully she admitted to feeling victimized by her team and like she didn't belong so she
wanted the easy way out she may have been a little crazy but she was pretty entertaining to watch
barbie marshall appearing in both the 10th and 17th season of the show barbara marshall aka
barbie was hated by many of her competitors coming into the competition marshall was an easy target
for many of her teammates due to her quiet nature although as time went on she demonstrated that she
would never back down from an argument and could be quite aggressive at times additionally she made
it clear that she meant business and didn't care whose toes she had to step on to get to the top
marshall was clearly a tough cookie since she spent years raising four children without the help
of her husband who was tragically murdered decades ago becoming so incredibly tough this seemed to
rub people off the wrong way which is why she was quite hated by the other contestants early on in
life marshall learned how to cook dinner for her family worked for her father's catering company
and studied the culinary arts at johnson and wales university considering that she had such a solid
foundation and culinary background it'd be safe to assume that many were threatened by her this is
made even clearer when you consider how many times she was nominated being five with four of them
being in a row despite the odds marshall copped herself a black jacket and fought her way into
the final four but was unfortunately eliminated on the 15th week even though she clashed pretty
frequently with the other contestants marshall impressed Ramsay with her continuous improvement
coming back alongside elise harris marshall picked up where she left off in the all-star
season of the show much like her previous run she was nominated several times by her fellow
competitors being five times yet again but was eliminated on the ninth week this time around
