Top 10 Worst Hell's Kitchen Contestants

Although he's widely considered most incompetent participant in Hell's Kitchen history, this doesn't mean he's the worst human being on earth. There are a lot people way worse than him, and they're not involved in food industry. I have no hard feelings for Raj, so whatever is happening to him, it's his business. I don't care about his current situation. I have no means to reach out to him. I'm already done with this guy.

In Raj's mind, his team mates are predators out to get him because they're all jealous of his skills and he's a flawless performer in services and challenges. In reality, Raj's team mates are out to get him because he's got to be one of the worst chefs to ever exist, let alone in Hell's Kitchen.

Seriously, this is probably the most I have ever HATED a person on a show ever. Horse face embodies all the pet peeves I have about a person into one being and somehow doesn't look like a total monster as a result. Biggest mouth, no talent to back it up. It's obvious she was only kept around for the drama and, I know it wouldn't happen there, but I seriously just wish the rest of the people mobbed her, tied her down, and threw her out. I would seriously watch and just hope for some kind of accident to happen that would get her out of the competition. I wanted to pull her teeth out with pliers, I wanted to just do something that would get her out of the way. She is a sickening excuse for a human being, loosest terms there, and there is no way I would ever go to a place that would be willing to hire her. Restaurant or otherwise.

If Lacey appears in other reality cooking shows like Top Chef, then I won't watch the season. She would express her complaints with Padma and Tom Colicchio every time she's on a chopping block. I don't want to see her participating in non cooking competition shows like Survivor either. She would walk out of the alliances and challenges. Everyone would see her as an expendable. If her team loses a challenge, then imagine her lying down all afternoon while her teammates plan to vote unanimously for her elimination. I don't want to meet her, even if she's a nice person in real life.

He kept saying he was like the veteran of cooking because he was the oldest etc, but he had FOUR career changes, FOUR! He thought it was easy just to come into a kitchen and say 'I'm experienced' just because he was the oldest. He couldn't cook at all. Age does not equal talent at cooking. There is NO correlation whatsoever and Tom proves it

The blue team kept losing because of Tom. When Tom was sent home, the blue team did a lot better. Tom said that he was more "experienced" because he was the oldest one on the blue team. It must of been a present to the blue team when he was eliminated

His cooking skills were lackluster enough, but his attitude made him even worse-- he was whiny and irresponsible. But what makes him the all-time worst contestant was his overtly, disgustingly sexist remarks. Uggh. In the first episode he claimed that if he won, he would be having to turn away girls. Well, good luck finding anyone who'd want to go out with you now that you've revealed how horrible you are.

Not only does he have the worst personality in the show, he has some of the worst skills. He took forever to make acceptable food and he couldn't even make desserts. He also had a quitter attitude. Watching him cook felt like watching someone who and never cooked in their life.

Jen is horrendous, when Ramsay gave poorly received her dish, she told him to read some books. Then in the fifth episode, she refused to help Christina leaving her close to cracking under the pressure when she struggled on souffles and in the SAME episode, successfully gets the women to change their votes from Rosann to Christina, all because Jen didn't want to help her. Then in the seventh episode, when Ramsay told her to not call out orders, Jen became angry and unresponsive through out the night with Ramsay calling her "undirectable". Then when she moved herself to The Blue Team and they lost the challenge, she bullied Louross for forgetting the veal. In the following episode, she bossed the others around, embarking an argument between herself and Bobby (of all people), then she dictated over the menu and took offense to being called sweetheart and in Episode 11, she possessed a bad attitude all through out the night, she was lucky that Bobby was much worse because Christina's wish to send her home would've been granted. In the following episode when they used a vote system, Jen voted for Christina-twice, messing everything up. But she is at her worst in the finale, angry she didn't make it to the winner's circle, wanted to get Ramsay to change his mind over eliminating her and asking him for a letter of recommendation, made worse with her bad attitude through out the service with Jen showing little to no respect towards Petrozza. When Christina won Hell's Kitchen, she showed little enthusiasm and congratulations towards her (unlike every other contestant in Hell's Kitchen) proving how arrogant and manipulative she is.

Russell may be a very talented chef but what does that mean when you're a down right schmuck. He swears at prom committee students, willingly lets Rob sink and lies about it, is mean to Boris all the time, threatened to slap the s out of Trev and blamed his team mates on causing him to become the Runner-Up. Dude, Ramsay doesn't JUST base it on the SERVICE, he bases it on customer comments cards as well, ever think of that!

Russel was and will always stay a good-for-nothing hateful bully. Always quick to blame and put down everyone else but never owning up to his own mistakes. Remember how many times he dissed Boris by pointing out Russia? I, for one, would never eat anywhere that thick lazy bully cooks.

This woman doesn't have the qualities to be top chef. She has no passion at all. Her attitude is so intolerable. During 1st dinner service, she could not communicate with her teammates. She despised Chef Ramsay from the start. She has no respect towards anyone. She insulted Chef Ramsay, contestants and audience upon elimination. She didn't last long. I'm sure she's not welcome in other T.V. programmes like Top Chef and Cutthroat Kitchen. I'm sure Colicchio won't tolerate her behaviour. I don't want to be friends with this prick.

I hate this lady so much. Gina is one of those things I despise about season 11. There are other contestants I hated from his season, but let me get to the point. Gina did make good scallops on first try, but later, it got worst. Her talking puppet really grinds my gears. It's as annoying as Sebastian's big mouth when men took an old school bus from Vegas back to Hell's Kitchen. She made a bad excuse to leave the competition. There were no obvious symptoms of her illness. Hell's Kitchen staff should never chose this lady ever. I don't want to hear from her ever.

She directed the red team the wrong way in the Special Events Challenge. She thinks that the Hawaiian theme is the same as the Asian theme.

He's a grown *ss man that acts like a 14 year old boy. His "signature" dish was so good that it made Gordon throw up. He had no talent and still managed to outlive most of his opponent, with no skill at all. He screwed the blue team and they got mad at him (obviously), then he begged to go to the red team. When he got there, he started to screw the red team as well while denying that he was doing anything wrong. Whenever someone call him out on his bs and lack of cooking skills, he would start to have this ridiculous fits of rage inside the kitchen...God, he's pathetic. Unskilled, Delusional, Infantile, Annoying and Creepy. He should be sent home 1st day.

Only 168th? You should have seen the amount of lamb he wasted and tried to do the garnish (instead of Joseph) at the same he was cooking the lamb. Also the arrogant attitude (granted it is in the confessional but stil) after Ramsey spitted his piece of crap signature dish.

Although he sucked, him getting fired in the middle of the first service was obviously scripted in order to make room for Robert. Besides, some contestants have made even worse mistakes than Louie, yet they didn't get kicked out.

Terrible chef with a terrible attitude. Even if he didn't get ejected in the first service, he'd still probably be one of the first ones to go.

This jerk should have answered Chef Ramsay's question during elimination process. Instead, he tried to pick a fight against him. If I were in his shoes, I would have said names like Tony, Louis, David or whoever. He was also a jerk during signature dishes part of the game. I wish Chef Ramsay could call the police and arrest this son of a b. I would never be friends with Joseph.

I understand being upset when Ramsay insults you, but Joseph was asked a simple question. He could've answered it and stayed in there, but no. He tried to start something up.
He had a bad attitude, and he displayed it for no reason whatsoever.

These days, Seth was an executive chef in two New York hotels and has opened a number of restaurants, including one in London. You would probably never in a million years think he would be one of the most successful chefs outside the show, but no, his performance on the show and how he's been doing outside of that are like night and day.

What was he thinking when he made his sweet ratatouille? If I were Chef Ramsay, I would kick out a contestant during signature dish challenge. I would do that every season for worst of worst dish or talking back to me. I won't ask. I would have done it to him (Seth himself), Matt from season 4, Antonia, Mike from season 12 and JP. He could made the fastest elimination in history of Hell's Kitchen.

Eugh I hate this guy. He disrespects the waiting staff when they can do their job 100x better than him, then he says he lived in Asia in the chinese food challenge. It's only relevant if he lived in China but he could have lived anywhere.
The only time I felt sorry for him was when he was nominated on the only night he had a spotless service. Other than that, he was rude, cocky, arrogant and an annoyance to his team.
If I was a manager of a restaurant, after seeing this they'd be no way I'd hire him

He most definitely sabotaged Mary in the finals. He just ruined all the steaks and then blew up at her to get kicked out. Probably the worst sabotage I have ever seen. Mary completely deserved to win that season, Ja'Nel shouldn't have made the finals. Jon was far better than her.

Who would serve packaged pasta? Chef Ramsay prefers that they are made by scratch. If Mike makes it from scratch, he would be praised. The tomato sauce should be handmade as well. He doesn't accept his mistakes and punishments. He demonstrated no effort during dinner services and challenges. Not a team player. No respect for anyone.

Absolutely pathetic. He served packaged tortellini and canned sauce for the signature dish, and also cursed at Gordon Ramsay (VERY RUDE). Also, during the team punishment, instead of helping clean up the kitchen, he was sitting around eating chips. Are you kidding me? I don't think he would even qualify for McDonald's.

She was completely annoying to listen to and to even look at so there is at least 2 senses she is offensive to, couldn't even understand her half the time with her ghetto accent!

She was annoying but funny as hell at the same time. She made the show interesting but by no means was she able to win.

Nedra was skilled, but a terrible personality. I can't stand the ghetto attitude.

She was hands down the worst. She performed badly 5 dinner services in a row.

Service 1: Cooked spaghetti in a dirty pan, cooked too much spaghetti, and made a disgustingly sweet risotto.

Service 2: She failed to cook scallops and kept burning fish.

Service 3: Couldn't even say "Four caesar sala, three shrimp, one plain. " four times in a row.

Service 4: Brought up an extra wellington and couldn't figure out the meat station.

Service 5: Left the oven door open and didn't know the pastry she served was raw with a raw pear.

She had five dinner services, and all five of them were shocking.

Tiffany was disrespectful and cared nothing about cooking. There was a reason Sous Chef Andi kicked her out of the kitchen and it was because her attitude sucked and her cooking sucked. She didn't even care to be there. She was just a lazy pig and cared nothing about cooking.

Look up "White Trash" in the dictionary and you will see Tiffany! Calling Barbie the "C" word is so disgusting just goes to show what kind of person she is.

Lazy, dirty, fat, and blames others for the teams problems. I feel bad for Barbie having to deal with her good thing she was eliminated before her. I bet she works part time as a prostitute

Scott was one of the most cockiest chefs I have ever seen. Blood Sausuage and Prunes? Really?!

This guy got D-Stroyed by Ramsay. "You're not as good as you think you are."

Guy thought he was better than Ramsay!

He sucks badly. He takes a piece of fish out of the trash, serves it to Ramsay, and then when he asks Brendan about if it was the same piece of fish, he LIES about it and ends up being one of the first to leave Hell's Kitchen Season 9. What a moron. Even Brendan said himself that he was blowing smoke up Ramsay's ass.

Although I ended up hating Paul, I didn't like how Brendan bullied him by calling him a 'meatball' then repeated it over and over as if trying to get a laugh for it. It wasn't funny, he wasn't funny and he came across as an utter child, looking for attention.

Sabrina is stupid as well. In team challenges, she would lose her point but would blame the last person up if they lost their point. She couldn't grasp that the team challenges are about total team points, not which order. every time she lost a point she should be blaming herself.
Beyond that, she reminds me of my old roommate who was massively selfish and blamed everyone for everything that was her fault or "just an accident." She would lift a finger to save a live, but I don't think she would raise 2 fingers to save a life.

Insufferable in every way. He's a brownnoser towards Ramsay, he consistently performs poorly in services, and is arrogant and delusional to the point where he refuses to own up to his mistakes. Also, he can dish it, but he can't take it. Every time one of his teammates says they're going to nominate him or if they try to call him out on his mistakes, he acts like a whiny baby and throws a fit. He has no business being in a black jacket, let alone outlasting Devin and Wendy.

Why do you guys still have a grudge against him? He's dead. If he's that bad, then forget who he is. There's no point in criticising someone who passed away. We have to move on eventually.

He's sexiest, horrible and who cares if you're a marine. I respect the marines. How is he a marine? Aren't marines meant to be really team originated? Just cause Amanda was the first female on the blue team it seems like he's had it out for her since then.

He didn't even seem sincere in his apology video! Mainly because he probably wasn't and got ordered to do that or else he'd be sacked.

He had a cushy job I respect all jobs in the marine corps. But I do not respect him or anyone who thought that what he said is correct in what he has said. Both me and my boyfriend love the show and he wanted me to rewind to hear the comment.

He is now in the marine enlisted aide program. Which means that he has gone from cooking for the commandant to cooking for basically paid army interns. He's an idiot, bully, no pallet and creativity. How he made it so far in the competition baffles me in my honest opinion.

Was an absolute disaster in the entire time he was in HK not to mention rumors he was trying to pick a fight with Ramsey (outside) in which he apparently injured himself - so indeed he had a terrible attitude and should be much higher than 76th. He was probably the worst of the first season.

Gordon Ramsay: Are you gonna run?
Jeff: No. I'm gonna stay and finish up service.
Gordon Ramsay: Oh really. Why?
Jeff: Because I'm not a quitter.
A few seconds later, he walks out. He was useless anyway.

The only reason he's this low has to be because of how long ago season 1 is. For those of us who remember, however, we know he should be much higher on this list.
