what makes Hell's Kitchen unique is that unlike most Elimination competitions only
one man makes their decisions on who gets eliminated each episode as opposed to a
group of people with that man of course being Gordon Ramsay and Ramsay makes it very clear
each episode that he wants the weakest chefs up for elimination however throughout the 21
season history of Hell's Kitchen contestants simply refused to follow this Rule and many
chefs have been put up for the oddest of reasons what's going on guys I'm Flynn Masters and today
we'll be taking a look at the dumbest reasons why contestants were put up for elimination in Hell's
Kitchen before we begin please hit that like And subscribe button to help support the channel as
this the place to be for fun long and short form HK content with all that said let's take a look
back at the history of bizarre and flat out dumb nominations in Hell's Kitchen bloody hell here
we go again despite Ramsay making it clear that he doesn't care about what happens in the dorms
nor does he care about if the contestants like each other or not there's been many instances
where the team comes together to nominate the person they simply dislike the most in
an attempt to get them out there's been many examples of this over the years but the one
that stands out the most to me is the red team nominating Barbie multiple times and
early stages of season 10 after she simply had a bad dinner service in episode 2 which
is obviously normal in Hell's Kitchen the red team mainly Tiffany Robin and Kimmy attack the
poor girl and didn't let up all season which is why they wanted her gone even on night she did
well Thomas hey Barbie because I mean like I feel like you were very quiet because Barbie like me
what are you talking about somehow I'm a scapegoat again I got kicked out for sticking a thermometer
and a piece of chicken no you didn't [ __ ] Barbie is the weakest leak on the red team period if this
was the hood this [ __ ] would already be beat down right now you've been having this attitude
all day with everybody I haven't said anything to everybody I just have been working like it's like
the looks that you've been giving people are you serious I'm getting nominated because I make faces
we then had Dan be a unanimous nominee after the sixth service of season 11 even though he
had arguably the best performance of the night it's a perfect lamb
yeah service please you see that lamb Dan yes yeah perfect I know I cooked it so the person that we
should be putting up right now will be damned what now that's some backhanded you're dead
weight everything I sent out was beautiful I see how it is put me up on Heels of perfect service
let's see how that ends Lucy's first nominee is myself chef and they put me up because I'm the
weakest John you're shaking your head we feel like he's constantly just slipping through the cracks
the other ridiculous example of the team Nami and the chef they dislike the most
came in season eight for the third service of the Season Sabrina was Lydia in the dining room
serving cocktails thus obviously playing no parts and the red teams lost that night but since she
had a nasty attitude the red team one are gone with their excuse being she wasn't a good prep
Chef based on prep I'm gonna have to put up Sabrina are you serious I wasn't even in the
kitchen I think you guys just vote for me because it's
because I've only been doing this for six months they decided to vote for Sabrina
Sabrina what anywhere near so
she does Jack during prep she doesn't do her prep list but speaking of Sabrina she
also had a very funny explanation of Ramsay for her personal nomination of Nona after
she was put up in her place two episodes prior what do you think we should get home
I think that Nona should go home chef her idea of fine dining is Fried Chicken Chef
she snores and it keeps us all awake and I honestly believe she's good for nothing chef
and sticking on the season 8 train between those red team nominations came boris's nomination
in episode 2. despite Curtis and Raj being the clear-cut nominees Trev voted for Boris because
he pushed him out of the way God season 8 is a train wreck one thing I did notice tonight
when Boris kind of shoved me out of the way and started doing scallops I said I got this handled
I started thinking about all the things oh yeah he did try and muscle me out of my own station today
second normally and why after listening to my fellow teammates here it's Boris why he shoved
me right off of the scallops tonight and he thinks he's Superman and he can do everything [Music]
but Trev is far from the only person that personally nominate someone he didn't like
in fact in season four Corey Lily didn't even hide the fact that she was nominating Jen and
Christina for personal reasons as opposed to nominating the actual weak links my first
nominee for strategic reasons Christina Christina treats me like a dumb blonde my second nominee
for personal reasons is Jen I've chosen Jen because she distracts me from doing my
job perfectly we're working in a serious kitchen we're here to win a serious prize I want her out
Ariel also did the same thing to Kristen in season 15. after she was named the best of the worst not
only did Ariel see Kristen as a big time threat but the two have been going at it all season up
until that point and thus Ariel dug deep to find a justifiable reason to take out a rival this is
hard Kristen I really like you even though we don't get along but I'm putting him and Jackie
out for elimination that didn't it came out an order and a half that was the French fries
Jackie had dropped I literally just dropped him I mean you come over there to help you gotta double
check you gotta look Ariel is the last person that should be having any power in this house
you've got power and you're making a bad decision based on how you personally feel second nominee
and why my second nominee tonight is Kristin chef when she came back into the kitchen to help there
was a problem with the amount of french fries that went up and there was an excuse about that
Kristen your chef back in line thank you yeah but of course one of the most common reasons we see
chefs being nominated in Hell's Kitchen is due to them being perceived as an overall weak link
you would think chefs would know by now that Chef Ramsay almost always sees past this but throughout
the years many chefs have had Fine Nights cooking wise but due to the lack of experience past
performances or the team just simply viewing them as a weak link they're nominated anyway the first
obvious instance of this came in season three as Julia was nominated multiple times for being
seen as a weak link why was she perceived as the weak link you ask well it's because she worked
at the Waffle House on my behalf I think only maybe two or three of my dishes was sent back
like for instance with Julia I know Julia had been working to find dining situation before Julia
shouldn't be here because she was just kind of Clueless so it's time for God if I was you I would
nominate Julia tonight definitely it has to be Julie she works at the Waffle House I mean come on
Julia my biggest concern with you is for prep and things like that you don't know as much as the few
of us who have worked with the fine dining stuff it took me 10 years to learn all these things I
don't think Julie is capable of winning this whole thing she didn't know today what a creme brulee
was if I gave you a Michelin star restaurant a month from now what would you purchase
but despite this first instance of nominating the week less experienced Chef happening in season
three 16 seasons and over 10 years later the same thing happened in season 19 as ridiculous as that
is to believe as the red team nominated Nikki for being the least experienced Chef on the team just
purely based on continuing experience I'd have to go Nikki you haven't run a brigade that big so I
don't know I don't know what your skill set would be like as a leader I agree I've shown
a ridiculous Improvement in one day red team's second nominee and why second nominee Chef Nicole
what what does he do wrong tonight as far as running up a game like the one we have she wasn't
going to be stronger so not based on tonight's performance that got you kicked out left half your
diners hungry how much better was Nikki tonight than last night a thousand percent better chef
in season 10 Don was nominated after the first yes first dinner service despite literally
doing nothing wrong in fact he didn't even get a chance to cook anything due to Royce and Tavon
being train wrecks that night so yeah Don was the nominated based on First Impressions alone
as The Blue Team thought Corky 44 year old eyeball done was their overall weakest link
long term despite having little no evidence to prove this based upon tonight's performance I
mean I would have to say Royce the overall picture that would almost have to say Don
that didn't do anything until I had him picked from the beginnings one of the weakest links if
you don't have what it takes and you should not be here my whole thing is I did not get a chance to
prove what I can do I mean I didn't get to put out one entree based on performance alone the person
who was supposed to be my assistant that wanted to take charge of the area of just as bad as I
am and you are putting Dawn up I I don't think the dawn should still go up the second nominee
uh is done well I didn't even cook not only did you put in a performance but you came to a crap
consensus however the one time this strategy of nominating the overall weakest link worked came
in season 16 after a slow start and being a 22 year old with little experience Aaron suffered
the same fate as many chefs before and after him being put up for elimination simply because he
was viewed as the weakest link but after being put up for a third time he was eliminated over
Devin and Johnny despite making no mistakes that night go figure it's the season 16 blue
team that has the distinction of being the ones to pull this strategy off you know what
I've seen I definitely think Aaron's the weakest one here I'm looking in the future guys like you
know it's nothing against you Aaron bro I did awesome tonight second nominee is
Aaron Chef Aaron what did he do wrong tonight we didn't look at simply just this
service Chef we looked across everything we've done since we've been here jolly
it's back in life
Aaron come here give me a jacket please
good night good night chef
I still am like baffled on why I got eliminated in season six after Robert was forced to miss
service after production nearly killed the poor guy from the bicycle punishment Andy who was most
on The Chopping Block came up with a clever way to save himself and threw Robert under the bus
as a potential elimination Target despite the guy not even being there in person if I could
figure a way to stay that's what I'm gonna do here's the thing though I just want to put this
out there Robert I just think he shouldn't stay in the game you miss a service you're
done it's not right bro I think you missed the service done who have the men nominated
I'm trying to figure out where Robert's at well clearly Robert's not here it would be unfair to
judge him on a performance had he not stepped foot in the kitchen and lastly their sweet over shell
as the poor girl had not won but two ridiculous nomination reasons first in episode 3 she
was nominated over the likes of Jessica and beb simply because she wasn't feeling well anybody for
Michelle I wish I was sick I hate this Rochelle she just can't put her 100 and we we need 100 from
everybody right now second nominee Rochelle chef she's very ill and is not recuperating and it's
getting worse but but then in probably the dumbest nomination ever the red team nominee Rochelle at
the final 10 because she wanted to start a family no I'm not making this up I don't want to put off
having a family getting married life Chef Andy if I want to get married I want to start a family
right away is it hard to balance a family and work because I do want the family I want to get married
we don't know if Rochelle wants to be a chef or a housewife 12-hour days 19 hour days 19 hour days
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 did we make up a
different story just say personal reasons do they hinder things in the kitchen but we chose Rochelle
we're just concerned that her passion outside
of here it's starting to overtake what's going on in here right now
