Top 10 Most Unfair Hell's Kitchen Eliminations
Nick literally did not make one mistake the entire season, then was dumped out during a "three-person finale" by a stranger based on one entree. We were robbed of the Nick/Benjamin finale we deserved.
He had one of the top 3 runs of any HK contestant, and he got sent home because some guy liked his dish slightly less.
These BS eliminations are one of the reasons I quit watching this show over a year ago.
His two minor errors on fish were the only mistakes he made all season. Yet he was eliminated for it so we could drag out the Elise/Barbie drama some more. Wasn't even worth it since Barbie went the next service.
Fifth place would have been perfectly fine for Elise, who was clearly a worse chef than Jennifer. Yet Ramsay decided to inexplicably kick the most consistent female chef of the season just so Elise could creep into the top 3.
Hassan was robbed. This guy would have made the top 4 at least. He was streets ahead of Jared. But after his first poor service of the season, mainly due to how dreadful that season's red team was, he is eliminated so we can focus more on fantastic characters like Jackie.
He may have made a couple of mistakes during service, but that was his first poor service. He deserved a black jacket.
He was good and should have gone much further.
Robyn's arc was nice and all, but she should have been sent home here. Slight over-portioning of pasta is not a bigger mistake than being unable to open oysters for your spaghetti oyster dish.
Did better than Robyn. He left because he wasn't drama.
Declan was always supportive of his teammates and the perfect gentleman. However, because he was overweight and not one of the 'popular' people, he was eliminated in a rather disrespectful way. Others who went before him had some tribute footage, but not Declan. They shoved him off the stage so fast it was like he was never there.
He was the first to be named to the final two, but the fan favorite, of course, was added as the third. What a setup by the producers.
Brad wasn't great or anything, but he absolutely did not deserve to be outranked by Josh.
Brad only left just so Josh could keep cooking spaghetti.
How Josh made it to black jackets just baffles me.
Anthony may have made mistakes that service, but he was more consistent overall. Zach made just as many mistakes, was on a downward spiral, and made excuses for his poor performance. Why Jon nominated Anthony over Zach and why Ramsay eliminated him are beyond me.
Him getting eliminated over Zach made me so mad and sad. He was one of my favorite contestants of all time.
Not sure about this one, but of course, Keith was more consistent than Virginia. However, his leadership cost him at the end.
The Newcomers
Paulie lasting so long is baffling since he was useless past the first few episodes. Quite a few chefs on the blue team were eliminated to save worse chefs, such as Pat, Aaron, and Devin. However, seeing as Koop's first bad performance was also his last, this was the most egregious.
Koop getting eliminated is a very obvious case of bending the rules to save the production pet. Chef Ramsay has said multiple times in the past that he does not care what happens upstairs. But as soon as it's convenient, he uses it against Koop to save his precious Paulie.
He was nowhere near as bad as the four nominees that night, but someone had to be sacrificed to get one more episode of Raj.
How Josh survived so long in this season, no one knows. If Bret had stuck around and Alison hadn't had her worst performance of the season just before the black jackets, things could have been so much better.
Alison was eliminated, and Josh became the only weak spot in the greatest lineup of black jackets the show's ever seen.
She may have screwed up most of the night, but she really deserved a black jacket.
Jennifer was a very consistent chef. Her elimination over Robyn is so unfair.
Him being the runner-up makes me sad. Jen was trying to sabotage him, and he was my favorite contestant of all time. RIP.
Him getting eliminated over Jackie made me so confused. He was one of the most consistent contestants on the blue team, and that was his first bad service.
He was one of the more consistent chefs in his season, and he gets eliminated in freaking 12th place.
He was better than Jen and a true gentleman. He and Petrozza may be the best gentlemen team.
Him leaving over Robyn, Tiffany, and Royce of all people was a travesty. The blue team absolutely should have won that service, but Ramsay probably said otherwise specifically so he could get rid of Patrick.
For Tiffany to stay over him is just crazy.
Ava's dish sucked in the alcohol challenge, but she really deserves a second chance.
