Franklin "Frankie" Quintana-Marzano

"I'm not going to be bottom of the barrel no more, I'm here to fucking win. The only way you'll be getting me out of here is in a fucking body bag."

Occupation: Line Cook

Age: 26

Hometown: Bronx, NY

• '80s Hair: Sported this in his high school graduation picture.
• At Least I Admit It: Sometimes. Frankie does sometimes delve into hypocrisy on occasion, but even then, he's aware of that flaw he has, on top of being more than aware of not being the nicest person to be around.
• Beginner's Luck: During the Cook For Your Life challenge, Frankie revealed he had never made lobster tortellini before. He however managed to successfully recreate the dish, and survive the challenge.
  • It happened again when Frankie revealed he had never cooked or had any knowledge of southern cuisine, yet his dish not only was the highest scoring of the day, but it broke the tie for the blue team in order for them to win the Southern Dish challenge.
  • And it happened a third time when he revealed he never made a compote before, and had to make it with cheddar cheese and cherries alongside a pork chop. His dish managed to score a point.
• Best Friend: To Morgana, as the two of them are able to vulnerable with each other.
• Born Unlucky: While Frankie was a strong chef later on in the competition, several times he'll make some relatively small mistakes. While that wouldn't be bad on it's own, it would come at moments where one chef sunk the kitchen and everyone else went mistakeless. Unfortunately, this would result in multiple times where he would be nominated for extremely small mistakes.
• Brooklyn Rage: He's from the Bronx, and he himself admits he's got his angry moments.
• Byronic Hero: 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.
• Can't Get Away with Nuthin': No matter what, despite all the evidence pointing to the opposite, he will always be accused of something from having an ego to being a manipulator.
• Cluster F-Bomb: Probably the chef who has sworn the most in their confessional, to the extent it's difficult to tell whether he's snarked or dropped the f-bomb more.
• Crazy Enough to Work: For Spell's Kitchen, Frankie was made to work with Pork Chop, Cheddar Cheese, Cherries, and Celery Root. Despite early concerns, he managed to put together a cheddar cherry compote, which he had never made before. The dish managed to get a point.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Based on his record, it's clear he's a very strong link in challenges, coming up with several strong dishes that managed to impress Chef Ramsay. When it comes to service however, while he's not necessarily bad so to speak, he's still prone to making small mistakes that wind up getting him nominated.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Prior to the competition, Frankie grew up in a very crime-riddled area, where he himself wound up falling into a bad crowd and even being a part of a fighting ring. 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 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.
• Dark Horse Victory: Let's be honest, there were definitely few people who expected the guy who garnered nine nominations to end up as the winner.
• Deadpan Snarker: Much of the 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. It eventually wound up getting him into a rivalry with Victor, as Victor soon had enough of Frankie sarcastic rebuttals towards him.
• The Determinator: He's the chef with the least amount of experience in the kitchen, but even after nine nominations and several instances of chefs trying to make him look bad, Frankie's shown himself to be one of the stronger chefs of the competition, and eventually went on to win the season.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Outside of the competition, Frankie lost contact with his family and spent years in prison trying to defend his cousin against a child molester. In the competition, he started out rough gaining nine nominations in total, but managed to improve himself to the extent he managed to get to the finals and not only reunite with his aunt and cousin, but also went on to win the competition.
• Establishing Character Moment: He's the first chef introduced, and he reveals that he learned to cook in prison. In a confessional, he mentions how it's apparently not okay to punch a lawyer, but it's okay to touch kids, highlighting his snarky attitude as well as his past.
• Everyone Has Standards: He may have a massive sarcastic streak and isn't the nicest of chefs, but even he was appalled at Donovan's comments on Celine.
  • Later on, after he made a comment that offended Eve, he was quick to feel guilt and apologize to her for his words.
• Failed a Spot Check: During the second service, he, along with Shawn, forgot a flatbread that needed to be on order. This only contributed to them losing another service.
• Fantastic Ableism: Displayed this in a dorm interaction with Victor. This is despite the fact that he got on Scott and Carl’s cases for making inappropriate gender comments about Celine.
  Victor: "Yes, I am very special, but in the good way. As Joe Mourinho would put it, ‘I am the special one.’”
  Frankie: "Special Ed more like."
• Fire-Forged Friends: With Sal. Despite the two not getting along much early on, the two eventually formed a solid friendship.
• 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.
• Friendship Denial: With Donovan. Donovan seemed to believe he was on good terms with Frankie, with him even bumming cigarettes off him. On the other hand, Frankie seemed to consider him an annoyance for the most part, and at worst, a racist asshole when it came to his comments on Celine.
• Genre Blind: Frankie never watched the show before, so much of what happened in Hell's Kitchen he wasn't entirely prepared for. To his credit, he adapted incredibly quickly despite a few hiccups, and mostly has avoided much of the common mistakes made going in blind such as used pre-packaged food.
• Good Is Not Nice: 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.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Absolutely. Much of Frankie's earliest flaws was his temper and how impulsive he could be, such as talking back to Ramsay and stealing Carl's alcohol. Thankfully as the competition went on, his anger started to fizzle out, and he managed to keep himself under control.
• Hidden Depths: A few times in the competition, Frankie made a few references to history, and even revealed that he used to be a bit of a history nerd.
  • Later on in the competition, he revealed that he was Cuban on his father's side, with his surname also being revealed to be Quintana-Marzano. He only uses Marzano as a surname due to him wanting to disassociate from his dad.
• Hot-Blooded: Whatever his flaws, it's clear he wanted to be there, and wanted to win.
• Hypocrite: One of Frankie's many, many flaws is that he can be a massive hypocrite. Aside from his Fantastic Ableism 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.
• I Am Not My Father: While it doesn't come out much, it's revealed that his moments of hypocrisy come from his father, something he's greatly ashamed of. He's also shown to have a very poor relationship with him, based on how his father allowed him to get locked up in prison.
• Iconic Item: Frankie is always carrying around a bobby pin, which he uses for breaking into stuff.
• Informed Flaw: Scott, and earlier on, Sal, called him rather cocky due to him getting better in the kitchen, but Frankie hasn't really shown any signs of believing he is as good as he is. This flaw eventually got him nominated at the final eight, despite him having a strong charity service.
  • Later on, Fifi accused him of being a manipulator towards Morgana, despite Frankie not really doing anything of the sorts and actually just being friends with her.
• Informed Judaism: In the final five episode, he revealed that he was raised Jewish, something that one wouldn't expect had he not mentioned it.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Frankie can be a hypocritical asshole at times, had a habit of stealing things, being incredibly impulsive and petty, and has a massive sarcastic streak on top of a temper, but he's been shown to have a good heart deep down, and is willing to defend chefs he feels are being persecuted. He's shown to even have a genuine friendship with Morgana, is more than patient with Fifi despite how eccentric she is, and despite his dislike towards Carl and stealing his alcohol, he's the one to try and give him some comforting words when Carl's Jerkass Realization kicks in. Even his reason for being arrested was somewhat understandable, if a bit rash.
• The Leader: He stepped into this role during the disastrous final six service, where he managed to help get through the appetizers station. His efforts didn't go unnoticed by Ramsay, as he gave him the Best of the Worst for his efforts.
• Lovable Rogue: He's got a penchant for thievery (which wasn't what he was arrested for), and a sharp wit to boot.
• Love Triangle: He wound up being a part of one alongside Fifi and Donovan. While Donovan had a crush on Fifi and Fifi had a crush on Frankie, he didn't have a crush on either of them.
• Malicious Misnaming: Outside of Morgana and Fifi, Frankie commonly refers to several chefs by varying nicknames, with Shawn for example being referred to as "Sunflower" based on his sunflower pizza.
• Meaningful Name: His surname, Marzano, stands for capability and strength, fitting considering how he had to grow up in a rough environment, and despite a rough start early on, he's shown himself to be more than capable of catching up.
• Mirror Character: To Mac from Season 6. The two of them were both competent, if drama-prone chefs, who often got put up for making minor mistakes on more than a few occasions. However, while Mac would let these nominations fester until his attitude started to seriously alienate himself from his team, Frankie on the other hand would take these nominations on the chin, and as such, allowed him to build a better rapport with his fellow competitors.
• Missing Mom: He revealed that while he was in prison, his mother passed away due to cancer.
• Mr. Fanservice: 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 Taylor, Rina, and Ronnie express a level of attraction towards him.
  • He later on uses this to his advantage in the farmer feeding challenge, where many of the looks from the female farmers helped him gain a boost against Eve's and Fifi's pork dishes, and allowed him to tie with Morgana for the win.
• The Nicknamer: He often called chefs many, many nicknames, from chefs he didn't like Shawn and Kylian, to chefs he considered friends like Morgana.
• No Social Skills: Early on, Frankie had a very tough time communicating with his team, leading others to see him as a lone wolf. He thankfully grew out of this as the season progressed.
• One-Man Army: After the rest of his team got kicked out, he was left as the only chef left in the kitchen. He managed to finish service by himself, with the help of DJ as well.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is Franklin, but he went by Frankie this season.
• Pretty Boy: He fits this to a T.
• Rage Breaking Point: While Frankie had his moments of snapping, he absolutely blew up when Morgana nominated him for elimination in order to escape her own nomination. It led into an absolutely brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech directed at Morgana and Scott (who himself had brought up the idea of an ego).
• Rambunctious Italian: He's partially Italian, and clearly has a lot of passion for being in the kitchen.
• Reformed Criminal: He spent six years in prison for assaulting a lawyer, and by the time he got out it's clear he doesn't want to go back there.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gave an absolutely vicious one to the blue team when they nominated him for no reason other than having a supposed ego.
• Sticky Fingers: He's shown to have a habit of stealing things, particularly from chefs who annoy him, with Carl being his most common victim.
• Surrounded by Idiots: Shades of this. While there are some members of the team he gets on well with, even they're not above Frankie making sarcastic remarks at their expense.
• Taught by Experience: One of the reasons he's able to communicate particularly well despite being well-behind the others in terms of experience is due to how observant he is.
• Technician vs. Performer: 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.
• Too Dumb to Live: Frankie made the big mistake of arguing back with Chef Ramsay after he was behind on garnish. This of course got him nominated, but him apologizing spared him from elimination.
• Took a Level in Badass: Big time. Initially, he seemed like an early boot due to a bunch of poor performances. However, from the third service onward, he started to improve, with him being the only chef left in the kitchen after the blue team got kicked out.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Started out extremely hard to approach, and couple that with his sarcastic streak, that meant that he was very difficult to get along with. Being on the chopping block several times however gave him a massive wake-up call, both in cooking skill and personality, as he started to be a bit more friendly with his team.
• Tragic Hero: Subverted. 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.
• Troubled, but Cute: Frankie had previously been in prison and has clearly been dealing with not only that, but other things as well. He's also very easy on the eyes.
• True Companions: With Morgana once the team switch happens.
• Twofer Token Minority: He's Cuban-Italian, and was raised Jewish by his mother.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Unlike the rest of the competition, Frankie had never been to culinary school or college in general due to being arrested before getting the chance. Despite early struggles however, Frankie was more than able to make up for his lack of experience with hard work and a lot of passion, and eventually went on to win the season.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: He believes this about Fifi, saying that she's a good chef, but she's not being treated as a serious threat.
• What the Hell, Hero?: He got this from Morgana, after she called him out about saying she has awful social skills, when he himself doesn't have that many.

Placement: Winner

Frankie's Winner Comment - "Fuck yes! I fucking did it! Oh my god....I can't believe it, I actually did it...all the work and sweat and tears put into this...and I fucking won...I did it mom! I fucking did it!”

Ramsay's Winner Comment - "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."

Oliver Hartred

"Well, that just happened."

Occupation: Sous Chef

Age: 35

Hometown: Lakeville, MN

• Achilles' Heel: Much like Fifi, while Oliver is a strong chef, his palate is one of the weaker parts of him. Granted while he isn't as bad as Fifi, he, like her, only scored a measly 1/4 on the blind taste test, and during the Taste it, Now Make It challenge, he only got the couscous correct.
• The Generic Guy: Despite making it to the finals, he hasn't really stood out much.
• Graceful Loser: Much like all runner-ups, Oliver took his loss with grace, congratulating Frankie on his win.
• Hidden Depths: His parents were what inspired him to cook in the first place.
• Informed Flaw: Several chefs have commented on his ability to talk in the kitchen, but he's shown himself to be a relatively solid leader.
• Odd Friendship: Oliver formed one with the very eccentric Fifi of all chefs.
• The Quiet One: Mostly saved for the dorms, but he's easily one the quieter chefs there.
• Rage Breaking Point: After Sal started on him for his lack of talking, Oliver finally had enough to go off on Sal for his attitude towards him.
• Technician vs. Performer: 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.

Placement: 2nd

Oliver's Runner-Up Comment - "It definitely doesn't feel good not to win but I'm extremely happy for Frankie and I'm glad I had the opportunity to make it this far enough to go against him.”

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - None.

Fiona "Fifi" Walters

"I feel like I am a constant punching bag with the worst luck!"

Occupation: Short Order Cook

Age: 23

Hometown: Staten Island, NY

• Achilles' Heel: Fifi is a strong chef, but one part where she's obviously weak is her palate. She only scored a measly 1/4 on the blind taste test, and during the Taste it, Now Make It challenge, she didn't score any of the ingredients correctly.
• Butt-Monkey: In the later half of the competition, Fifi had alienated her team enough to be seen as a massive ditz, and as such, she wasn't taken seriously.
• Flanderization: One of the more notable examples. At the start of the competition, Fifi seemed like an easy-to-anger chef with a lot of potential. However once she got eyes on Frankie, she had begun to strip away any sort of potential characterization in a desperate attempt to appeal to him, which only was made worse when it became very clear that Frankie had no interest in her. To add onto this, she was made extremely ditzy, and it essentially made her into an Expy of the previous season's Georgie.
• Genius Ditz: While Fifi was a good chef, she also had a massive ditzy streak, even to the extent she forgot her own ethnicity.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Fifi was nice for the most part, but she could also easily fly off the handle at any given moment.
• Insane Troll Logic: At elimination, Fifi would suggest having Eve, Carl, and Sal be put up for nomination after the team couldn't come to a consensus. Eve would immediately point out however that Fifi also made a mistake that night, and with that logic she could also be up there.
• Love Triangle: She wound up being a part of one alongside Frankie and Donovan. While Donovan had a crush on Fifi, Fifi would have a crush on Frankie.
• Never My Fault: She somewhat delved into this during the punishment after losing the blind taste test. She primarily called out Carl for failing to score a single point during the blind taste test, ignoring the fact that she not only gained a measly one point, but cost the team the victory as a result.
• Odd Friendship: Fifi formed one with the very quiet Oliver.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Fiona, but she goes by Fifi. Frankie goes a step further and refers to her as simply "Fi".
• Rage Breaking Point: After the red team lost the southern dish challenge despite her scoring the highest, as well as her Butt-Monkey status wearing down on her, she finally snapped at her team, with Carl and Sal especially getting the brunt of it.
• The Rival: To Celine.
• Token Minority: The only chef of Thai descent this season.
• True Companions: With Morgana.
• What Were You Thinking?: For her Spell's Kitchen challenge, Fifi made the baffling decision to steam her artic char. While the rest of her dish was well-received, her decision to steam it caused the fish to be overcooked, and her to cost the red team a chance at victory.

Placement: 3rd

Morgana Flatcher

"I can't even look at my team in the eyes right now. That's how embarrassed I am right now."

Occupation: Culinary Student

Age: 27

Hometown: Silver Spring, MD

• Affectionate Nickname: Frankie often called her "Morgs".
• Best Friend: To Frankie, as the two of them are able to vulnerable with each other.
• Consolation Prize: While she may've not been able to run the pass, she was offered a chance to a part of the Gordon Ramsay team.
• Dark and Troubled Past: She admitted in one confessional she used to be in a toxic relationship, and had a drinking problem.
• Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments of this.
• Dirty Coward: Had one moment of this, where upon realizing she would likely being nominated during the final eight, she nominated Frankie when asked who the nominees were. Frankie took this as well as one would expect...
• Disappeared Dad: During the talk with Frankie, she mentioned she didn't know her father, or what happened to him.
• Foil: She's this to Frankie, 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.
• Heroic BSoD: Had one of these during the final nine service, after crashing on the fish station. She didn't have the ability to look anyone in the eye, and it took a small pep talk from Frankie to boost her spirits.
• Ms. Fanservice: Based on the amount of comments that Celine made about her appearance, she is this.
• No Social Skills: Was criticized by both Victor and Celine for being very quiet and anti-social at times.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Ultimately the cause for her elimination, as while she was a strong chef, she was still weaker than Frankie, Oliver, and Fifi.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: While talking about how much Frankie meant to her, she called out Fifi for her shallow crush on Frankie earlier on, saying that she didn't know anything about him and doesn't know the first thing about romance.
• Rousing Speech: Had one of these in the top nine when she was nominated for the first time. It was enough to get her sent back in line.
• Tempting Fate: Averted. At one point, Morgana says that she would take anyone, even Carl over Donovan. Come the next episode, and Carl, along with Sal and Oliver, are switched over to the red team. However, it's averted when she's switched over to the blue team along with Celine.
• True Companions: With Fifi, and later Frankie.
• Worthy Opponent: Frankie seems to regard her as this, calling her one of the best from the red team early on.
• Underestimating Badassery: For a culinary student, she showed herself to be one of the stronger chefs on the red team.
• Unskilled, but Strong: She's only a culinary student, but she's shown herself to be a remarkable and strong link on the red team.
• What the Hell, Hero?: She was on the receiving end of this during Frankie's "The Reason You Suck" Speech against her and Scott, where she put up Frankie just so she could shirk nomination.

Placement: 4th

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Victor Blane

"Right now they're in denial, but that's just the first stage of grief."

Occupation: Sous Chef

Age: 32

Hometown: Chesapeake Park, NY

• Brutal Honesty: He claims what he says is this, but in reality they're just rude comments.
• Catchphrase: "The Blane Game is on!"
• Deadpan Snarker: Has his moments of this.
• Dramatic Irony: His first service where he received Best of the Worst happened on the fish station. Later on however, he was having most of his issues happen on said station, and on his final night, that's where he was.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: This is what starts his Sanity Slippage that culminate in his rage quit. He notes during a punishment that chefs like Frankie had gotten praise for their comebacks, yet Victor only started cooking not too long ago, wondering where was the praise for him.
• Establishing Character Moment: During the signature dish, he revealed that he was a therapist once, but he was fired for "telling the truth".
• Hated by All: Once his ego spiraled out of control and attempts to get Frankie hated started to backfire, he became very disliked by everyone.
• Hypo Crite: He criticized Frankie for being a massive jerk towards him, and said that he made comments about everyone else. This is coming from the same guy who made jerkish comments about people to their face, and claimed it was the truth.
• Hypocrite Has a Point: In all fairness to Victor however, he wasn't entirely wrong about Frankie making jabs at everyone. The main difference however was that Frankie at the very least was smart enough to not say anything particularly rude for the most part, and the few times he did, he apologized for it. Additionally, his insults were nowhere near as personal as Victor's were.
• Insult Backfire: In a way. He ended up calling Frankie a twink, and while this was mostly because he got this from Celine, one could see this as him unconsciously admitting that he finds Frankie attractive.
• Jerkass: Very much so, as he said his comments were the truth, and was incredibly inconsiderate of other's feelings.
• Only Sane Man: He somewhat delved into this at the final 8. After Scott suggested the idea of putting Frankie up due to having an ego, Victor was against it, saying that Morgana and Scott should be up. However, the somewhat part comes in when he tries to double down on the idea that Frankie had an ego. Averted later on however.
• Rage Breaking Point: After several insults thrown at him by Frankie (not without reason), he finally raged at him, even threatening to fight him.
• Rage Quit: Big time. After messing up multiple times on the fish station and failing to establish himself as a leader during the sous chef portion due to wanting to catch Frankie making a mistake, he up and quit the competition, saying no one believed him about Frankie.
• The Rival: Serves as this to Carl, as he dislikes Carl's over the top leadership. Later on, he became this to Frankie, as Victor took issue with the many jabs Frankie had at him.
• Sanity Slippage: At the start of the season, Victor started out calm and collected, with a bit of smugness. After taking a level in kindness however, his worsening performances, and finally the amount of jabs from Frankie, he started to get angrier and prone to snapping. It all culminated at the final five, where he finally blew up and quit the competition.
• Sore Loser: His final two challenges saw him delve into this, as he started to take the challenge losses harder and harder. This was especially prevalent in the Budget Challenge, where he lost to Fifi by the slightest margin, and from then on, everything went downhill.
• Took a Level in Kindness: After he broke things off with Celine, he noticeably turned down the attitude. Eventually subverted as his ego began to reemerge, causing him to make more mistakes.
• We Used to Be Friends: With Celine. In the beginning, the two were good friends to them both taking great pleasure in their willingness to bully their teams. As the competition mellowed out however, Victor started to mellow out, while Celine continued her spiral, resulting in the two calling off their friendship.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Wasn't present for the final service, and was replaced by Janisse.

Placement: 5th (Quit Mid-Service)

Eve Lynn

"Janisse finally pulled her weight, and there's not even that much to pull."

Occupation: Unemployed

Age: 21

Hometown: Walla Walla, WA

• Achilles' Heel: The appetizer station seems to be this to her, as she often has problems with that. Eventually it wound up being her downfall in the final six, where she couldn't bounce back from her mistakes, and wound up eliminated as a result.
• Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments of this.
• The Determinator: She's only got one arm and is only twenty-one, meaning she had to make up a lot of ground to keep up with the others. To her credit, she managed to make the black jackets as a result of her tenacity.
• Didn't Think This Through: During the Spell's Kitchen challenge, Eve managed to win the final few rounds and put cheddar cheese on the blue team's pork chop, which seemed like a death sentence for them. However, she ended up forgetting that there was an Italian on their team in the form of Frankie, who managed to put together a strong dish from those components.
• Epic Fail: Her final service on the apps station saw her absolutely bomb. She struggled all throughout the night, sending up numerous poorly done risottos and carbonaras, and even went quiet and required Frankie to bail her out.
• The Generic Girl: Hasn't really stood out that much, although it's not to the extent of several other chefs.
• Handicapped Badass: She only has one arm, but she's proven herself to be one of the stronger chefs in the kitchen.
• It's All About Me: Delved into this at the final six, saying she wasn't obligated to help out other chefs with their problems.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be blunt and snarky on occasion, but she's shown to not be a terrible person at all.
• Out of Focus: While it's not to the extent of Janisse, Eve hasn't really gotten a whole lot of focus.
• The Quiet One: Ended up as this in her final service, where she ended up being failing to communicate several times on the apps station.
• Rule of Three: Was eliminated on her third nomination, as well as after her third poor performance on apps.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Around the final six, she started to seriously alienate her team when she started to continuously shoot down ideas for the menu. This eventually reached a head after service, where she and Frankie got into an argument about Frankie's leadership skills, with Eve saying she wasn't obligated to help others.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Wasn't present for the final service, and was replaced by Toby.

Carl Howard

"Honestly Ramsay should just make me win, I’m already qualified!"

Occupation: Head Chef

Age: 37

Hometown: Bethlehem, PA

• Badass Boast: As seen in his quote above.
• Berserk Button: 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.
• Big Ego, Hidden Depths: He's shown to have a massive ego, but during the final seven, Carl admitted that his dad wasn't around much while his mom worked two jobs, and he only joined the culinary field because he didn't want to go to school. However, after the restaurant got popular, he started to take private lessons from chefs that only wound up feeding his ego.
• Butt-Monkey: Out of everyone, Carl was the most common victim of Frankie's stealing, as well as the chef with the most nicknames directed at him.
• Establishing Character Moment: During his signature dish, he revealed his massive success in the culinary industry, and pretty much felt he deserved it on that alone.
• Epic Fail: Scored a zero on the blind taste test.
• Failed a Spot Check: During the Cook For Your Life challenge, he ended up missing the lobster claw and the dollop of puree, but he managed to survive over Janisse.
• Insufferable Genius: Carl was a very strong chef and leader, but his arrogance often overshadowed whatever contributions he made to the kitchen. Granted it wasn't enough to get him nominated, but it did result in chefs like Sal and Frankie not being very fond of him.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Carl was actually in the right to call out Fifi for her delusional attitude, saying that he cost them the Blind Taste Test. Sure, he didn't do particularly well (he scored zero), but Fifi didn't do that well either, and to his credit, he accepted the punishment.
• Jerkass Realization: During the final seven, Carl seemed to realize just how much he had not only downgraded in skill, but also had alienated his fellow chefs with his attitude.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Carl was incredibly smug to an almost obnoxious degree, but it was clear he actually did care about the team.
• The Leader: Serves as this to the blue team.
• Madness Mantra: Has a tendency to chant "Day is never finished, Master got me working, Someday Master set me free" during punishments.
• Manipulative Bastard: After the third service, Carl would try to convince Frankie to put up Victor in revenge for trying to sabotage the team last service. Frankie however would not listen to him.
• No Social Skills: Somewhat. While Carl does genuinely mean well, his pompous and extremely smug attitude resulted in his team not really liking him all that much.
• The Rival: Serves as this to Victor, as he dislikes Victor bad attitude and him trying to sabotage him.
  • Later on after the team switch, he became this to Sal.
• Smug Super: He's cocky and very arrogant, but he can back it up quite well in the kitchen.
• The Worf Effect: Arrogance aside, he started out as one of the strongest chefs on the blue team, with a strong signature dish and being labeled as Best of the Worst on the first night. Further into the competition however, Carl started to slip up more and more, and on top of getting into arguments with his teammates due to his ego carrying over, it resulted in him tanking more. In short, he went from being a potential winner pick to being booted right before the black jackets.

Placement: 7th

Carl's Elimination Comment - "TBA"

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Carl had a big ego and went on a massive downward spiral, but that penny only dropped for him on his final day in the competition - that was just far too late."

Scott Tackett

"I don’t wanna be just the generic guy of the team, I want to be the guy where if there's an issue they come to me."

Occupation: Executive Chef

Age: 36

Hometown: Meridian, ID

• Achilles' Heel: Leadership. Scott wasn't a bad chef by any means, but once he's put under a leadership position his flaws quickly became known. First time he was put in charge, he got nervous and ended up shouting a lot which lead to doubts from his team, and he barely managed to avoid nomination because of that. The second time was during charity, and he wound up making the extremely dumb move of putting the team in a position where not only Frankie could be potentially overwhelmed due to him being on the fish station, but after switching over to help out Frankie, he wound up putting himself in a position where he 'couldn't even lead his own course. That, along with his performance during Frankie's course, resulted in his elimination.
• Deadpan Snarker: It's not to the extent of Frankie, but he'll make some pretty sarcastic remarks. One example of this actually got him in trouble with Frankie when he made a jab at Celine's gender.
• Epic Fail: There's so much that was said about his dish during the Surf & Turf challenge that we can't fit it on just one page.
  • Then there's his Spell's Kitchen challenge. While the ingredients were not exactly great to begin with (He had three starches), he made the baffling decision to use potatoes to make a sauce. As such, it sunk the dish due to how unappetizing it was.
• The Generic Guy: In the first half of the competition, Scott admitted that he himself had not stood out much. As the competition went on, he began having more of a prevalence.
• Hypo Crite: In his elimination comment, he called out the blue team for being a bunch of snakes, despite the fact that he freely talked shit about other chefs backs.
• Insane Troll Logic: During his charity course, he elected to have Frankie work alone on the fish station to make crab, while he, Victor, and Morgana worked on the risotto. After Ramsay called him out for how bad of an idea that was, Scott would switch himself over to the fish station to help Frankie...which only resulted in Morgana taking control of the service as she was now on a leadable section. That, alongside a myriad of other issues on both his and Frankie's course, resulted in his elimination.
• Jerkass: A borderline example. Compared to chefs like Victor, he wasn't that bad, but the amount of confessionals where Scott is not talking about another contestant that was not shit talking can be counted on one hand. In actual face-to-face interactions, the rare time he does interact he'll make a snide remark.
• Never My Fault: During the second episode, Scott's oven was turned off, resulting in raw lamb. Instead of taking responsibility for it, he immediately blamed Oliver in his confessional.
• Only Friend: A few examples of this.
  • During Episode 10, Scott and Victor developed a friendship—over their mutual dislike of Frankie. At this point, he's all Victor really has.
  • Despite the unfruitful remark he made earlier, he was this to Celine during her final service, at least for a little bit.
  • He's one of the few people that doesn't dislike Fifi and feels bad for her despite not being fully aware of the team's history with her.
• Prescience by Analysis: Subverted. During the first episode where he worked on garnish with Frankie, he felt that due to his time in prison, he would be virtually unfazed by Ramsay. That service saw Frankie lose his temper with Ramsay and shout at him.
• Rule of Three: He ended up being eliminated on his third nomination.
• Took a Level in Kindness: During Episode 10's service, Celine had crashed hard on the fish station. Normally Scott would give her a hard time but instead he kept telling the rest of the to stop hurling snide comments at her, which she appreciated. However, this kindness was somewhat subverted as the service went on due to her continued mistakes.

Placement: 8th

Scott's Elimination Comment - "I was hoping to go a lot further, ideally to the very end but when you work with people that don’t want to work with you that sucks. I’m glad I’m not Frankie right now, but honestly I’m glad I’m not anyone else on that team because they’re all just a bunch of snakes so good luck red team but watch out for the blue snakes."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Scott always had this feeling that he didn't belong, and was completely left out. Tonight, his charity service convinced me to leave him behind."

Sal Vulcano

"Carl what were you doing in between the cleaning and the ten minutes? Hanking your Schrader?"

Occupation: Comedian

Age: 43

Hometown: Staten Island, NY

• Achilles' Heel: Sal was a really up and down chef, but clearly the one area he lacked in the most was the fish station. He barely managed to avoid nomination in the first service after he was on fish, and in the tenth episode, Sal wound up nominated for his mistakes on the fish station.
• Can't Catch Up: The reason for his elimination. While Sal was not a bad chef, he was easily outclassed by the other chefs on the red team and blue team, and as such had no chance of winning.
• Deadpan Snarker: Has his moments of this.
• Dull Surprise: Pretty much everyone's reaction to him revealing his true identity.
• Epic Fail: Sal's southern dish was incredibly dry, and it got only three points.
• Fire-Forged Friends: With Frankie. Despite the two not getting along much early on, the two eventually formed a solid friendship.
• Glass Cannon: Probably the best way to describe his run. Sal could have some strong performances on occasion, but at the same time, he was very prone to messing up at the same time. It eventually became too much to ignore, and he was booted out as a result of this.
• Manipulative Bastard: Tried to get out of nomination at the final 10 by throwing Carl under the bus for his raw chicken and his bad attitude. It didn't work however, and he was nominated.
• Odd Friendship: Despite a few early differences, he formed a relatively solid one with Frankie.
• Resigned to the Call: At the final nine, despite winning the service, Sal had the feeling he was still not safe. Sure enough, Sal wound up being eliminated from the winning team.
• The Rival: To Carl when the team switch happens.
• Took a Level in Badass: At the start, Sal was easily one of the weaker chefs on the blue team, with him barely avoiding nomination in the first episode and being a relatively mediocre chef. As the season progressed however, he started to hit his stride more, becoming more consistent in service. Unfortunately, Sal would start to drop as soon as the team switch happened, and he was gone not long after.
• What Were You Thinking?: For the southern challenge, Sal made the incredibly dumb decision to smoke two components of his dish, when Gordon wanted it grilled as well (in that, Sal did no grilling whatsoever). Sure enough, the dish was incredibly dry.

Placement: 9th

Sal's Elimination Comment - "I knew it was gonna happen, Chef made the right choice tonight, but leaving here just feels the same as when I came in. I know I'll have my moments to shine one day, but for now I'm just the same person people viewed me as before....A goofy TV celebrity."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Sal's time in Hell's Kitchen was like a rollercoaster, he went up, he went down, he went up, he went down. Unfortunately, tonight's service was down."

Celine Qadir

"So...how are we all? ✨"

Occupation: Sous Chef

Age: 24

Hometown: Washington D.C.

• Arch-Enemy: While she was pretty much hated by the cast, she easily had most of her problems with Donovan. Donovan hated her attitude, while Celine hated the racially insensitive comments made about her.
• Catchphrase: "So...how are we all?" Usually accompanied by some special effects.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Celine was extremely unpleasant for the most part, but there were a few occasions where she showed some kindness.
• The Load: As soon as the team switch happened, Celine quickly became the most consistently weak chef of the blue team, having middling performances compared to the other chefs on the blue team. It all eventually culminated in her ejection.
• The Rival: To Fifi and later on, Morgana.
• Small Name, Big Ego: She clearly believed she was one of the strongest chefs of the team, despite her performances being somewhat middling.
• Token Minority: The only chef of Arab descent so far. Later on, she's also revealed to be transgender.
• Took a Level in Badass: 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.
• Took a Level in Kindness: 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.
• We Used to Be Friends: With Victor. In the beginning, the two were good friends to them both taking great pleasure in their willingness to bully their teams. As the competition mellowed out however, Victor started to mellow out, while Celine continued her spiral, resulting in the two calling off their friendship.
• Womanchild: Later on in the competition, she would be the target of several criticisms that called her out on her attitude from chefs like Morgana and Frankie. In response, she would complain in confessionals about being targeted.

Placement: 10th

Celine's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Celine always was living on borrowed time. Now that she's gone, she can use that time to find an emoji that truly shows how she really performed tonight."

Janisse James

"Thank god that nightmare is over…"

Occupation: Butcher/Kill Counter

Age: 33

Hometown: Detroit, MN

• Alliterative Name: Janisse James.
• Failed a Spot Check: Ended up becoming a game-ending mistake as she ended up putting up too much of a bland basil puree on her tortellini's, resulting in her elimination during the Cook For Your Life challenge.
• The Generic Girl: Hasn't really stood out much.
• The Load: Despite making it to the top eleven, Janisse wasn't a necessarily great chef. She was extremely hit or miss in both challenges and services, and really her best services were just really mediocre.
• Out of Focus: Easily the chef with the least amount of focus so far.
• Picked Last: She was the last chef picked during the brigade selection.

Placement: 11th

Janisse's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Janisse had the guts and skill to get her this far. Unfortunately, her lack of attention to detail left her as dead meat."

Christie Flame

"I don't think I'm the weakest chef, but I can't take this environment anymore."

Occupation: Sous Chef

Age: 36

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY

• Deadpan Snarker: Had a few moments of this.
• The Generic Girl: Hasn't really stood out, which was something mentioned in Ramsay's elimination comment.
• The Load: Despite making it to the top twelve, Christie never really established herself as any sort of threat in the competition.
• Rule of Three: She ended up being eliminated on her third nomination.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After losing faith in herself during the competition, Christie ended up eliminating herself.
• Took a Level in Cynic: As the competition started, Christie seemed to be on the same page as everyone else when it came to wanting to win. In her final episode however, she had suddenly lost all passion for being there, and ended up quitting the competition.

Placement: 12th

Christie's Elimination Comment - "I wish I had more courage in me to continue fighting, but there's only so much one can take, and Celine would make any sane human break. Good luck Red Ream, at least I made it a little easier to take that bitch out...oh I'm gonna miss this place..."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "I have a responsibility of picking the right individual to become the executive chef of Hell's Kitchen Miami. Christie made very little impact, and when she did, it was not in a good way. I suppose I have her to thank for making my job a lot easier."

Donovan Edwards

"All of these fucking red team members dude...why the fuck do they stick up for Celine?"

Occupation: Line Cook,

Age: 23

Hometown: Chesapeake, VA

• Achilles' Heel: Despite Donovan excelling in challenge, his inconsistent cooking during dinner services tend bite him in the ass.
• Addiction Displacement: Actively tries to quit his smoking habit through chewing gum, to varying degrees of success.
• Everybody Smokes: As states above, Donovan has *quite* the smoking addiction, to the point that after giving Frankie his pack of cigarettes back, he had already smoked *half* of the pack.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite not being able to stand Celine in the slightest, when she appeared to be a bit under the weather during dinner service, he commented on that he only wished that she would get better.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: After his switch to the red team, he quickly started to get into a feud with Celine over her poor attitude. However, the way he went after her (in that, he mainly insulted her eyebrows), caused the red team to actually side with Celine over him due to his comments coming off as incredibly racist.
• High Hopes, Zero Talent: Donovan had a lot of hope early on, as he was not only the brother of the previous season's Donna (who, despite her mistakes, made it all the way to 4th), but he didn't start out that badly. Even his first service on red wasn't terrible so to speak. However, he started slipping fast after that, and with him burning his bridges with both the red and blue team at a rapid pace, he was eliminated not long after.
• Intergenerational Rivalry: Despite Eliana getting on everybody's nerves, she and Donovan clearly had it out for each other.
• Jerkass Realization: After a talk with Frankie outside of the dorms, Donovan comes to realize that his comments about Celine's eyebrows, intentional or not, were extremely racist and regretted it upon further reflection. Despite the fact that he learned that Celine hardly cared about the comments in the first place after he apologized to her, he would state emphatically that his apology was completely heartfelt.
• Love Triangle: He wound up being a part of one alongside Fifi and Frankie. Donovan would have a crush on Fifi, while Fifi had eyes for Frankie.
• Never My Fault: After the breakfast service, Donovan primarily blamed Celine for the loss. While it was true that she overcooked steak, he also ended up messing up on toast of all things, which only contributed to the loss.
• Only Friend: Was this to the generally arrogant Carl, as Donovan respected his leadership skills.
• The Rival: Was this to Celine, as he disliked her overly arrogant attitude.
• The Worf Effect: Donovan started out extremely well, having a solid signature dish and cementing himself as one of the strongest chefs early on, after his switch to the red team however, he struggled not only in the kitchen, but gaining respect from his team due to his actions towards Celine. With him continuing his downward spiral, it wasn't long before he was eliminated.
• Zero to Hero: Or quite the opposite, as stated by Morgana. During his first service on the red team, he stood out and led the apps station to a stellar success. However, during the following service, he struggled on meat, causing him to be less respected by the team.

Placement: 13th

Donovan's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "When Donovan started this competition, I had high hopes for him, but unfortunately he let us both down."

Toby Farrell

"I know what a mise en place is, but I suck at explaining things so I'm not gonna raise my hand and risk being picked on by Chef."

Occupation:Lead Line Cook

Age: 34

Hometown: Lancaster, PA

• Affectionate Nickname: Frankie, due to having far less of a negative opinion on him as others, calls him "Tobes".
• Epic Fail: His final service saw him absolutely tank on the garnish station and cause the service to stall several times. It was enough for Ramsay to eliminate right after service.
• Heroic BSoD: Around the final 15, he started going through this as he was aware of his less-than-stellar performances.
• The Load: Toby wasn't a very useful chef in the slightest. He wasn't a standout chef in challenges, and service wise he wasn't really fantastic.
• Mercy Elimination: Could be this. There was no feasible way that Toby was staying after his awful performance on garnish.
• Nervous Wreck: Ended up as this in his final service, where he couldn't get his thoughts down to communicate. Of course, that was one of the reasons he was sent home that night.
• Took a Level in Badass: 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.

Placement: 14th

Toby's Elimination Comment - "I'm not going to argue with Chef's decision. I'm honestly a much better chef in real life than I was here, this experience was very humbling. I came in with full confidence, but I'm leaving here realizing that it's harder than it looks. I guess winning Hell's Kitchen just wasn't for me."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "I kept Donovan and Frankie because Toby put the blue kitchen in such a hole that they never stood a chance. They're very lucky that I sent Toby packing."

Melissa Jackson

"This is a team comp but clearly the word “team” isn’t needed with people like Eliana."

Occupation: Executive Sous Chef

Age: 31

Hometown: Las Vegas, NV

• Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments.
• Failed a Spot Check: For her winner's ingredients challenge, she failed to clean her mushrooms, resulting in her mushroom gravy being gritty. Thankfully, it was enough for her to get the victory for the Red Team.
• The Load: Despite being an executive chef, Melissa wasn't a very useful chef at all. She was unimpressive in services, and she was often a poor performer in challenges.
• Pointy-Haired Boss: She's an executive chef, but her performance in the competition makes her this by default.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: She was eliminated relatively early on in the competition, and outside of being Celine's friend, she didn't stand out that much.

Placement: 15th

Melissa's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Melissa was an executive sous chef whose peak in Hell's Kitchen was prepping shrimp. That is why her stay in Hell's Kitchen was a short one. "

Kylian Coman

"I’m gonna win and everyone’s gonna be begging for my help and I won’t give it to them cause there rude."

Occupation: Head Chef

Age: 36

Hometown: Nice, France

• Crazy Enough to Work: He made a frog leg taco, which while not great visually, was said to be delicious, scoring him a three.
• French Jerk: He's French, and not pleasant at all.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He certainly had a massive ego, but it often didn't carry over to his cooking skill.
• Weak, but Skilled: He did have some talented based on his signature dish and second service, but he was still pretty weak overall.
• Zero to Hero: Played in reverse. He actually managed to receive the Best of the Worst on his second night, but come the following service, he completely tanked the apps station, resulting in his elimination.

Placement: 16th

Kylian's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Kylian let the little success he had in Hell's Kitchen inflate his ego. It was time for me to let the air out of that balloon. Au revoir mon pote!"

Shawn Jackson

"How on earth did my dish turn out bad, I did the best I could."

Occupation: AT&T manager

Age: 30

Hometown: Sacramento, CA

• The Determinator: For all his faults, one thing Shawn did was never give up, saying how much he wanted to improve. Unfortunately for him, his cooking skills were not up to par.
• Failed a Spot Check: During the second service, Shawn, along with Frankie, forgot a flatbread on order, which only resulted in the team being more backed up and them being kicked out of the kitchen. This also helped contribute to Shawn's elimination that night.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Shawn pretty much had no friends in Hell's Kitchen, due to his mistakes and awful attitude.
• The Load: Easily the weakest chef on the blue team. He had a signature dish that flopped, he wasn't very useful in challenges, and service wise he was awful.
• Motor Mouth: Shawn just never really stops talking.
• Press Start to Game Over: Was nearly on the receiving end of this, as he made the mistake of mouthing off to Ramsay at the start.
• Rule of Three: Was eliminated on his third nomination.

Placement: 17th

Shawn's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Shawn’s chances of winning Hell’s Kitchen were as slim as the chances of him serving an acceptable appetizer tonight. And as for Ellen, she definitely should stick to being an influencer because it’s obvious that she just can’t cook."

Ellen DiGorno

"Shawn seriously needs to go the fuck home. He is gonna be the first to crumble, calling it now."

Occupation: TBA

Age: 65

Hometown: Metairie, LA

• Prescience by Analysis: Her quote about saw her say that Shawn was going to be the first to fall apart. While she was eliminated before him, Shawn eventually wound up as the first chef eliminated from the blue team.
• What Were You Thinking?: She made an "artesian pizza" that had sauce underneath. Ramsay was so bewildered at this choice that he spat it out and gave it a one.

Placement: 18th

Ellen's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Shawn’s chances of winning Hell’s Kitchen were as slim as the chances of him serving an acceptable appetizer tonight. And as for Ellen, she definitely should stick to being an influencer because it’s obvious that she just can’t cook."

Elliana Markswell

"I don’t know what these people are doing, they do realize that this is a scripted tv show right?"

Occupation: TBA

Age: TBA

Hometown: TBA

• Defiant to the End: Even in her last moments, she truly believed that she was on a movie set.
• The Ditz: Absolutely.
• Epic Fail: Really, her whole run on the show. From her signature dish to her actual performance in the first service, she makes a good argument for being worse than Raj.
• Intergenerational Rivalry: Had this with Donovan, even went so far as to insult his young appearance.
• Lethal Chef: At one point, she spilled hot oil on one of the customers, which of course resulted
• The Load: When Ramsay says that he doesn't see them lasting long, that pretty much cements them as such.
• Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher: She's an actor who clearly doesn't know the show is real.

Placement: 19th

Eliana's Elimination Comment - "TBA."

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "Eliana came into this competition expecting to earn an Oscar. Tonight however, she earned a restraining order."

Lauren Thornhill

"This is my time to shine. I can't let this lingering bad feeling drag me down. I'm gonna go there and work my ass off like I always do."

Occupation: Semi-Pro Weightlifter

Age: 47

Hometown: Austin, TX

• The Determinator: She tried her best to get through service, but her illness was too much for her to handle, resulting in her medical evacuation.
• Graceful Loser: Despite her not being able to complete service and being evacuated, she took the decision well, saying she learned something and told Fifi to win for her.
• Non-Gameplay Elimination: She ended up falling ill with a myocardial ischemia, during service, resulting in her having to be medically evacuated.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: She formed a friendship with Fifi, before being medically evacuated during the first service.

Placement: 20th

Lauren's Elimination Comment - "So, the doctors say I have a Myocardial ischemia. Basically, something that could've caused me to die right there in that kitchen. I'm left not only without my potential cooking career, but also probably without my weightlifting career back home. So, I really don't know where this leaves me. I knew coming to Hell's Kitchen was a long shot, but I am still grateful to have been here. Even though my body quit on me, I still got something out of this experience. Fifi, go out there and win the whole damn thing, okay?"

Ramsay's Elimination Comment - "None.
