* HypoCrite: One of Frankie's many, many flaws is that he can be a massive hypocrite. Aside from his FantasticAbleism jab above, he's shown to call out chefs like Carl and Sal for stuff he himself is guilty of, and at one point went below the belt when it came to a jab at Sal's expense. To his credit, he did genuinely regret the moments of his hypocrisy, and is very much aware of his flaw.

* MrFanservice: Based on Fifi's brief crush on him, Morgana admitting he's attractive, as well as his general appearance, he makes a big case for being the roleplay's most attractive contestant. Funnily enough, while Celine tended to call him a "twink" a lot in an attempt to get under his skin, one could see that as even her admitting that he's good looking. This even continues onto the next season, where both Taylor and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Ronnie]] express a level of attraction towards him.

* ByronicHero: At the start of the competition, Frankie had a nasty temper, was prone to sardonic comments at other chefs expense, and had a massive difficulty really getting along with other chefs such as Carl and Sal. As the competition progressed however, it was revealed that much of it was due to his rough upbringing, time in prison, and ultimately his lack of a support system, resulting in him having somewhat stunted social skills. He gradually managed to get his act together, and by the time he managed to make it to the finale, not only did he manage to win, but he had the aforementioned Carl and Sal genuinely putting in an effort for him.



* DarkAndTroubledPast: Prior to the competition, Frankie grew up in a very crime-riddled area, where he himself had to resort to falling in with bad crowds to survive. After a near-death experience however, he started to work towards getting out of the lifestyle at the behest of his mother. Unfortunately, after catching a [[PaedoHunt family friend sending explicit pictures]] to his younger cousin, he attacked him. Without any evidence, and his own father preventing evidence to be seen in order to get a payout, he ended up being sent to prison for six years. While in prison, he ended up learning that his mother had passed away from cancer, and was left thinking that his mother died disappointed in him. Even after getting out of prison, he admitted he struggled finding a purpose for a while, due to colleges rejecting him because of his criminal past and being cut off from the family. It even got to the extent he was suicidal.

* GoodIsNotNice: Frankie is ultimately a cordial and friendly enough guy who ultimately earned his victory, but he can also be a hypocritical, kleptomaniac jerk with a massive sarcastic streak.



* TragicHero: Averted. Much of Frankie's reasoning for entering Hell's Kitchen was to redeem himself in the eyes of his dead mother and get himself back on his feet. While it initially seemed that his temper, penchant for drama, and inexperience would hinder him in the end, he pushed through all of his flaws, and went on to win the competition.

* TechnicianVsPerformer: The Performer to Oliver's Technician. Frankie's a strong link in challenges, coming up with several high-scoring dishes despite his lack of experience. When it comes to service however, Frankie was prone to making small mistakes that wound up backfiring him on, resulting in him being nominated nine times. Additionally, he's far more animated than Oliver, who's mostly stoic and quiet.


Added DiffLines:

* TechnicianVsPerformer: The Technician to Frankie's Performer. Oliver's a solid line cook, and has more than enough leadership skills to get him to the finale. Challenge wise however, while Oliver isn't bad, Oliver's dishes are sometimes pretty hit or miss. Additionally compared to the far more animated Frankie, he's much more reserved and quiet.

* MistakenForRacist: Despite the red team not really liking Celine in the first place, Donovan's comments about her eyebrows, which, in accordance to her being Arab, came across as extremely insensitive at best or outright racist at worst. This was only exemplified by the fact that Donovan's only two allies at the time, Morgana and Fifi, were both minorities and dealt with extensive issues with racism during their lives.



* NiceGuy: Whatever his faults, it's likely he didn't mean anything truly malicious when it came to his comments on Celine, and even then, we was one of the nicer chefs on the blue team.
* NoRespectGuy: Despite his friendly attitude, he didn't really get much respect from the red team.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: He's this to Morgana, as both were chefs of Cuban descent who lacked much experience in the kitchen, and had moments where they realized they messed up badly (Morgana throwing Frankie under the bus at the final eight, and Frankie making a comment that Eve found offensive), and would apologize quickly for said moments (even if Eve didn't exactly forgive him). However, Morgana was a strong chef who had much respect from her team throughout the entire competition, even from the likes of Celine (even if it waned at times). Frankie on the other hand started out as easily one of the weakest chefs on the blue team, nearly winding up eliminated early on before taking a massive step up in skill. Not only that, Frankie tended to get into several arguments with chefs over his perceived ego, while Morgana had no such accusations against her.

He's easily got the sharpest tongue Much of the cast, if not overall.hilarity of the season comes from Frankie's incredibly dry and sarcastic quips at several of the chefs and the events going on around him.

* BerserkButton: Sabotaging the kitchen appears to be a big one. While he seemed only mildly annoyed whenever someone (usually Shawn or Frankie) messed up, he got downright furious if there was a chance of sabotage. This was best shown off when Victor admitted to sabotaging the kitchen in order to piss him off, resulting in Carl holding a grudge against him for a long time, and even trying to convince Frankie to put up Victor at nomination.

->Ramsay's Winner Comment - "TBA."Frankie won tonight because he has all the qualities of a great head chef. He's exceptionally passionate and determined, with a phenomenal palate and great creativity. But above all, he's a fantastic leader who I'm sure will inspire everyone to be better, working in the kitchen of Hell's Kitchen Miami. I have no doubt I've made the right decision as it's pretty obvious he has a great career ahead of him."

* TookALevelInBadass: At the beginning, she was extremely hit or miss, and the switch to the blue team didn't help matters in the slightest. Upon returning to the finale, Celine proved to be easily one of Frankie's strongest chefs that night.
* TookALevelInKindness: Alongside with an upturn in skill, Celine actually didn't argue with the chefs or try anything that could negatively impact the finale. This is in great contrast to her previous persona of being extremely arrogant.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: Throughout the season, Toby was a pretty middling performer in the season. However, upon returning for the finale, he emerged as perhaps Oliver's best chef.
