T was described that she would have won nearly any other season that was until S18 where she fell off hard with badass decay. So that makes me wonder? If she was entering Hell's Kitchen for the first time, the eligible seasons outside S14 would be (and applying some time and age shenanigans if needed):

S1-13, S15-16, S18 (as a Rookie), S19, S21 (shenanigans needed), S22 (??? Theme still makes no sense), S23 (let's say she was a chef instead of a line cook like in S14), S24.

Which season do you believe she actually would have won as a first timer, remain a runner-up or fall short of the finale?
