->'''Hometown:''' Chicago, IL

* DodgedTheBullet: Ramsay stated this towards Payton after barely surviving elimination over Morgana.

* TheLoad: Despite making it to twelfth place, he was never really a standout performer. He was passable at best in challenges and service wise, he ended up making a few slipups, only managing to avoid nomination because other chefs made far worse mistakes. Despite this, due to even some of the stronger chefs making some fairly major screw-ups, some fans believed Kevin could make it to black jackets at the very least. That was until the seventh episode, where it all eventually came to a head. He was suddenly the weakest chef on the blue team, perhaps because all the weakest chefs were already eliminated. This inevitably led to a mid-service elimination by Ramsay.

* TheLoad: He was by far the weakest member on the red team after the team switch. On his first dinner service in the red team, he struggled on the garnish station but was saved only because Morgana was too quiet. However, on the next service, after repeatedly serving raw steaks and bland Pad Thai to Ramsey's eldest daughter Megan, he was soon gone.

* WhatWereYouThinking: She was one of the chefs who failed to earn a point in the emoji challenge for altering the given recipe.

* GunNut: Owns 67 guns.

* FatalFlaw: Her anxiety. Brynn was a strong chef who could be vocal, but her anxiety often got the better of her and it resulted in her making mistakes.

* ForWantOfANail: Keanu was one of the stronger red chefs of that season, but she costed any chance of surviving the Cook For Your Life Challenge after serving Ramsay a charred pork chop.
* InformedFlaw: She was nominated during Episode 5 because Josie claimed she was scrambled. While she shouted at Payton during dinner service, it did not affect her performance negatively. Ramsay saw through that and told Keanu to stay.

->''"I'm sick of Brynn. Hissy fit, here we go."''

* WhatWereYouThinking: Asks Chef Ramsay for a "breather" after the first entrée ticket is called.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed towards Trenton during the black jackets. It got to the degree she would casually mention wanting to physically assault him. Which is a new level of Jerkass for her, considering prior to that she mostly just said people are dumb, too emotional or they're sucking really hard.

* Jerk Ass: The amount of confessionals where Kiya is not talking about another contestant that was not shit talking can be counted on one hand. In actual interactions during the competition, she was for the most part not ''mean'', but not one to frame their opinions in a way that, as she put it, "cared for people's feelings."

* Archenemy: Towards the end of her run, she regarded Brynn this way. She viewed herself as the lone hero telling Brynn things she doesn't want to hear, and hyperfocused on Brynn's faults, perceived or not. This, combined with her alienating herself from her team didn't do her any favors. This is beautifully displayed in Episode 10, when the red team said they need to squash the drama and Brynn said no drama is coming from her end... and then they cut to Josie saying Brynn is acting like such a bitch.

* Jerkass: The amount of confessionals where Kiya is not talking about another contestant that was not shit talking can be counted on one hand. In actual interactions during the competition she was for the most part not MEAN, but not one to frame their opinions in a way that, as she put it, "cared for people's feelings."

* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed towards Trenton during the black jackets.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Felt this way towards the red team as the competition continued as she felt they were alienating her based on her poor performances. However, it doesn't help that she herself began distancing from the team in the dorms and showed it by wanting to sit next to Emily in the Blind Taste Test.

* CripplingOverspecialization: The only thing Matthew was even remotely good at was making his dishes ''look'' good. ''Making'' them good however was a completely different story. The best example of this was during the punishment pass challenge, where his chicken dish would be chosen as one of the best of the blue team, which even surprised Ramsay. However, the chicken turned out to be raw (the other guys [[FailedASpotCheck didn’t notice that it was raw]].)

* CripplingOverspecialization: The only thing Matthew was even remotely good at was making his dishes ''look'' good. ''Making'' them good however was a completely different story.

* TookALevelInBadass: While he was a strong chef, once he reached black jackets, he went on a hot streak during the challenges, winning both of the individual challenges as well as being the first to qualify for the final service.

* TookALevelInBadass: She was already a strong chef, but after her sole nomination, she improved more on her vocalness, allowing her to reach the final three.

* TookALevelInBadass: Has improved in challenges and services since the team switch and has continued into his first episode in the Red Team.

* TookALevelInBadass: He stepped up his game for Trenton in the finale as he was solid on the fish station with no mistakes.

* TookALevelInBadass: Seemed like this was the case. After the signature dish challenge, his chicken dish would be chosen as one of the best of the blue team, which even surprised Ramsay. This was heavily {{subverted}} however once the chicken turned out to be raw (the other guys [[FailedASpotCheck didn’t notice that it was raw]].)

* TookALevelInBadass: Seemed like this was the case. After the signature dish challenge, his chicken dish would be chosen as one of the best of the blue team, which even surprised Ramsay. This was heavily {{subverted}} however once the chicken turned out to be raw.

* FatIdiot: Shades of this. He was a main participant of "chickengate" in Episode 3 and believed his underseasoned irregular ceviche was one of the best dishes in the alcohol challenge, along with Matthew's raw chicken. Subverted after he switched to the red team, as he became a far stronger chef.

* LeaderWannabe: He tried to be one for the men during the opening night, but all he kept doing was saying "bounce back."

* TheGenericGuy: He didn't stand out from the blue team for the first six episodes as he was the guy who did well enough to make it by. But then comes Episode 7...

* TookALevelInBadass: Seemed like this was the case. After the signature dish challenge, his chicken dish would be chosen as one of the best of the blue team, which even surprised Ramsay. This was heavily {{averted}} however once the chicken turned out to be raw.
