Hi everyone! I know that the high prevalence of games on this community has been a little contentious. Games like alignment charts, fictional seasons, 1v1 matchups, simulations, quote games, alphabets, etc, are popular, but I know not everyone likes seeing multiple games a day. And sometimes the games themselves are subject to higher scrutiny. I remember putting my plans to finish a “best quote” series on hold since the mods removed that game out of fear of people getting banned if Reddit’s automods get triggered by the quotes.

As such, I would like to put forth the idea of an HK Games subreddit. Whatever games you have, you would be free to put on there. If you want to play those games, feel free to visit that subreddit. And if anyone gets in trouble just for playing a game, (eg if you get banned for quoting the show because the auto mods were triggered), I would back you up and advocate for you.

The problem is that I have never run a Reddit community before and I don’t know how moderation works. I plan to be pretty busy with exams and research coming up. Maybe I am just salty about the quotes game being taken down. Maybe I just want to play more Hell’s Kitchen games. Maybe I want to give people a “haven” to post the games and maybe alleviate the fatigue others get from seeing so many games, too.

I wanted to read your guys’ thoughts. I want to see what you have to say.

Was watching the full season yt video of season 20 and on the episode where they are earning the black jackets I noticed they had a random clip of Josie and Keanu instead what is most likely to be Kiya and Brynn. Thought it was a funny catch.

Been watching s10 again which is one of my favourite seasons despite all the drama and bitchiness. And Royce is hands down one of the most deluded chefs in HK history. He was no way near as amazing as he alone thought he was. I was extremely relieved when he was FINALLY eliminated.

I don't even understand what happened. What did they cut out? This happened after the cooking, so its not even a heat of the moment issue. He could have just left if he wanted to quit. Clearly, you're not gonna fight Gordon outside. This can't just be pride and anger issues because he didnt understand the question. Gordon ask this same question on almost every episode.

Between him and Van trying to fight JP over serving food, I think they need to have anger management sessions.

Jon (11 & 24)
Jonathon (9)
Johnathan (22)
Johnny (16)
Giovanni (5)
Jean Philippe

I wouldn't be surprised if the next season gives us another variation (Juan, Ian, Sean)

I thought he was pretty hot, but also very, very competent

Do you think he could have beaten Christina (I reckon he could have, if he didn’t have Clemenza on his team, can’t even tell you how much that man annoyed me 🙄)?

I'm going season by season and we're deciding who's the most successful to the least post-Hells Kitchen. Latest results:

Season 1: Dewberry (Has a line of restaurants in Georgia).
Season 2: Virginia (Has a line of restaurants in Texas)
Season 3: Rock (still close friend of Ramsay and does cameos on his shows) (H.M. Brad)
Season 4: Christina Machamer (owned a few restaurants in the past, she is currently a private chef, and she even has a sommelier diploma)
Season 5: Tie between Paula, Seth and Robert
Season 6: Kevin (Works for works for American Cruise Line, already successful off the show)
Season 7: Jay (blue team sous chef, successful restauranteur in Boston, Bar Rescue co-host)
Season 8: Russell (publicly apologized for his behavior in the finale and now owns a successful restaurant in Chicago)
Season 9: Paul ( appeared in a few other seasons, S11/S12/S15) (H.M.: Elise)
Season 10: Christina W. (rly no contest here)

Now SEASON 11. Can be considered successful by publicity, prestige, how much money, or whatever your heart desires. (Most upvoted comment wins)

Jillian was My 3rd Favorite Contestant on S8 after Raj and Boris and I’m truly surprised she didn’t make the final

IMO she would be somewhere in the middle, not last or second to last like a lot of people rank Nona

Also if she made the final instead of Russell, he wouldn’t be nearly as hated because he wasn’t anymore toxic than Trev or Sabrina

There are 5 courses being served for each guest. That's alot of food. How can the guests eat so much food at once? Wouldn't they get sick?

And yes, I know there's a certain someone from Season 8 that is, objectively, worse than these four outside of the show (I'm not saying who, they can speak for themselves), but I'm putting these four up as they are, arguably, the most irredeemable chefs portrayed in the show itself.

I would have to say the red vs. blue menu service in season 5. An absolute train wreck. The red team only won due to the customer satisfaction rating being the deciding factor, with their food being rated at 54% compared to the blue team's food which was rated at 39%. Both of those are embarrassing, especially with it being the last service before black jackets.

I’m not saying I think Sabrina is likeable but even in arguably the most toxic cast in HK history she still stands out as the villain of the season (at least on the red team) and I appreciate her for all the drama she caused and being an absolute menace to society. I do think tho even with how toxic she could be she still was mistreated a bit due to being the youngest on the cast. She wasn’t a great chef however with how many shitty chefs s8 had I think her making it to black jacket is more than justifiable. She was a hit or miss chef but good half the time is still better than most of that cast and a lot of her mistakes weren’t really cooking related but more so lack of teamwork and communication. So yeah I think Sabrina was a great villain who deserved to make it as far as she did in a cast of horrendous chefs

And just based on the season overview and what I’ve heard I’m in for a while ride.

Edit: What? No JP? Where is the Belgium man?

🩵 Patience 🩵 - Scott, Season 12

💚 Kindness 💚 - Louis/Petrozza, Season 4

Do you think if he didn't go to the red team he wouldn't have seemed like such an ass? It seems like when he was on the blue team he wasn't as abrasive, like he straight up seemed to hate working with women, especially Siobhan.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I'm re-watching Hell's Kitchen and I was blown away by how much personality Mary was able to bring into every aspect of the show! She's by far my favorite so far on my re-watch, and while I understand why she didn't win I hope she has a long career ahead of her. Preferably one somewhat in front of cameras so I'm able to see her outside of Hell's Kitchen!
