What HK Moment Had You Feeling Like This?

For me, it's hard to choose, but Joseph trying to fight Chef Ramsay because he couldn't answer a fucking question ranks pretty high.

And side note, I fucking love this meme and every version of it. It's hilarious.

Jason from Season 22 has the personality of a fart

I’m watching Hells Kitchen season 22 for the first time and my goodness is Jason unbearable. He has no personality and is a huge egomaniac. I was so satisfied when he got a lower score on his signature dish than Brad when he was shit talking about him in his confessionals.

Gordon's advice on tasting ^^

He is a bit mean here, but it's a great lesson. As a side hint; Season 2 has all episodes with uninterrupted video play and no background music. Not from the entire service but a lot of it. It's on youtube.

Why did we complain about Dafne’s plea at the final 5 in Cheyenne’s elimination episode?

For years we’ve had contestants talk about how bad the service was when making a plea for their case to stay but for whatever reason, we took Dafne’s plea to heart. All I’m saying is that this is all about defending yourself from getting eliminated and Ramsay does expect every chef to have that hunger in them so I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Dafne for what she said. Not to mention but we didn’t criticize the entire S15 blue team for the problems with Frank at the final 9 so what’s the difference. Why so hard for Dafne’s plea at the final 5 service especially when Dafne’s service wasn’t too terrible compared to Cheyenne’s meltdown that service?

Why did this dude snap like this? (Season 6, Joseph)

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.

[S24] Absolute baller move.

And I thought I couldn't find anything closer to a finalist kicking out one of their brigade members in terms of "complete control" moves.

About T from S14

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?

Royce (S10)

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.

If I Had A Nickel For Every Time...

A blonde who seemed like she could win the whole thing fumbled at the last couple services and ended up in 3rd Place, I'd have three nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird its happened three times.

There hasn't been a John, but we've had so many variations

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)

Thoughts on Justin from season 10

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 🙄)?

Josie and Keanu in the black jacket episode

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.

Requesting Community Thoughts on Starting a Hell’s Kitchen Games Subreddit

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.
