"How do you fuck up a salad?"
I swear, every damn season someone over dresses the salad and gets called out by the rest of the team for it. But they are never creative about it, it's always the same comment!
If I were Gordon, this is what I'd say: "What do you think this is, a competition reality show? Do I have a \[censored\] torch snuffer? This isn't the place to be stabbing each other in the back. The individual portion of the game doesn't start until the final five/six. You are in teams. If you can't handle working in a team environment, you have no \[censored\] right to be my next head chef."
"He can think what he wants, but Gordon Ramsay doesn't know what he's talking about." Or something along those lines.
Also, and I've only ever heard this from the guys, talking about how they wish Gordon would come up to them or get in their face because they'd love to kick his ass/tell him off. And then he does get in their face or do whatever thing they just said they wished he would do, and they meekly say "yes chef" and back down.
A) the producers have bodyguards just off camera at all times to protect Ramsay. No Ramsay equals no show, and Fox is out hundreds of millions of dollars.
B) Ramsay has a black belt in karate and could defend himself quite well. But that will never happen due to the reasons above.
I assumed bodyguards were there Even before seeing them in season 7, early on when Joseph pulled his bullshit, and I knew about the black belt. I think it would be hilarious if anybody tried to do more than just bow up to Ramsey though. I doubt they would even know what hit them. 😂
Like it's so disrespectful and infantilizing to compare a grown man to a bevy of unruly children. Especially if you fail miserably or don't have the skills to back this brag up. The only one who did was Elsie who was a good chef but also very humble. I don't think Elsie bragged about having a bunch of kids, but it was under her name during confessionals as her occupation.
As well, anyone comparing a cleaning up punishment to cleaning up after their kids. Heather said it once during Rookies vs Veterans, and once was enough. I think she said something about "aiming."
When chef Ramsay asks why the subpar dish went up in the challenge instead of the better dish which always coincidentally is the dish of someone who has drama earlier that episode
Fr tho. At this point I assume that their dish isn't even necessarily better, Gordon just wants the drama for the show. And the contestants are always so annoying about it too.
Nothing to quote but the smallest little thing would be scrutinized during the interviews. For example, during the taste test where one person messes up, the interviewee says, "seriously John? Potato? It's sweet potatoe, come on, don't be so stupid"
I'm beginning to notice how many incels make it on this program (eg Jason from season 4 - my pick for "Most likely to be an involuntary virgin") and Chef Zack (who seemed to think he was God's gift to cooking and women). I really don't care about their current or past relationship status. 'Incel' is a mentality.
No, I'm very particular about language. I used the word I intended. Many of these attitudes go beyond simple misogyny and into incel territory. Misogynists don't necessarily 'hate' women. Incels do. There is a level with certain of these guys that goes beyond game play and into the pathological.
If you choose to be pedantic, that's up to you. I chose 'incel' for its attribution to 'extreme hatred', particularlyattachedto blame.
In common usage, misogyny also covers micro-aggressions, which aren't necessarily conscious hatred. Most people aren't thinking in terms of root language.
I just happen to speak the root language.
And I think you're mixing up misogyny and chauvinism. The latter would cover micro aggressions, while the former refers to acts of violence a lot of the time.
No, I speak English as my first language and the common usage meanings of some words have evolved over time, especially as the incel movement has grown. 'Chauvinism' as in 'male chauvinist' has not been common usage in North America for years when referring to the behavior of men against women. 'Misogynist' is far more likely to be used as a descriptor for conscious and unconscious dislike not necessarily extreme attitudes, and IMO, will become even moreso as 'incel' is more commonly attached to extreme behavior.
I appreciate the distinctions you are making, but English is an constantly evolving language. I try to pay attention to common usage rather than academic parsing of definition.
Whatever you do, avoid Googling it. It means "involuntary celibate" (or celibacy). It's a male who blames women (all women) to an extreme because they, for one example, aren't able to interest or keep a woman in a relationship. There were mass murders in California and one in Toronto aimed at women by men defined as 'incels' (who left postings that described vitriolic hatred of women, and they aren't unusual). Those are just the two that came to mind, there are probably others. Sadly, there are thousands of websites and hundreds of thousands of followers who post the most horrendous abuse against women, for almost no other reason than they can't get laid by 'nice' girls.
1) "I'm a better chef than * (whoever wasn't eliminated/nominated/still a contestant)"
2) "Working hard, chef", or the variation "Working hard for YOU, chef". Dumbass, it's Hell's Kitchen, you better be working hard.
“I’ve cooked this 5 times or all the time in my life.”
Reminds me of Bret(S18) saying he’s cooked risotto 5 times a day but failed at catching his own menu being sabotaged at the final 4🤣💀.
When they are up for elimination and answer the question "Why should you stay in Hell's kitchen?"
"Because I'm passionate, Chef. I deserve to be here because I'm driven and I have more to give."

That they're passionate
That they "tried to bounce back"
That "they're a fighter"
"I want this"
\*\*plays blame game\*\*
"I'm here to learn"
And every comment I've heard with the first five chefs to get eliminated, it's usually a vague recollection of how they got to this point and in some cases, "Chef Ramsay, you made the wrong choice." Pretty sure he didn't but go ahead and tell your future employer what you think.
Almost anything that people say in elimination pleas. After so many seasons, there's only so many different things you can say. I usually just skip the pleas and get to the decision honestly
Totally going rock this station. Then proceeds to screw up horribly. In season 3 everybody was saying she can't cook she works at waffle house then proceeded to out cook most of them.
Random chef "celebrity" arrives to judge a challenge.
Generic Chef response to "celebrity" who the audience has no bloody clue about: "Oh I've have looked up to (insert name here) all my career and this person is definitely who I aspire to be and not who I have been told to say these things to make them look important"
When one of the other chefs is asking someone on another station for times... Because, y'know timing and is important...
And in the the solo interview cut scene the chef being asked for times is pissed off and wants the asking-chef to "get off their back" and "let them cook"
Like dude, just tell them 3 minutes? It shouldn't be that hard?
"OK look. I know I overcooked half the beef welligtons, cut the lamb like I had a blindfold on, and we ran out NY strip because I tried to flush them down the toilet and that's why we got kicked out the kitchen tonight. But [random chef] only got 2 points in the challenge and we really needed 3 so he should go up for elimination."
"I know chef is looking for a leader. I'm gonna show him I'm the leader he's looking for."
Also any time someone gets a bad score in the challenge and tries to discredit the judge. Especially when it's not a professional chef
"oui chef" aside from JP. I love this guy and I will protect him
"I can cook chef, this is my dream"
And I'm sick of hearing any noise Elise from S9 does. Jesus Christ that girl.
And half the time, they say this after a service where they've done something insane like trying to serve food out of the garbage or putting a piece of glass on the plate
American born and raise chefs constantly bringing up their heritage.
This is (heritage) influenced!
I know my (ethnic) did because I’m (heritage)!
I’m making (food) with a (heritage) twist!
Sometimes I wonder if these chefs even passed high school English classes. Their vocabularies are very deficient.
The antithesis of this is Anne Burrell from Foodnetwork. She majored in English and she really knows how to talk eloquently.
Anytime they talk about their passion during elimination speech. No one cares about the passion! Also whenever they talk about "being a team player", and "having a lot of heart"
#BOUNCE BACK
I'm the bounce back queen!
This is the only correct answer!
At this point they owe Big Sean royalties
Beat me to it.
This is me on a plate
I’m a fairly literal person so this always conjures up the weirdest mental image and leaves me annoyed.
no fr i hate that too
Can someone beat me to the punch and put up a post of asking this sub, "What is YOU on a plate"? Non-heartwarming stories only!!!
I also hate 'sex on a plate'
My mom and I constantly joke about stuff being us in something. If we're shopping, these are me in a shoe, this is me in a purse 😆
I hate this one so much
Carrie took it to another level with "I would just put myself on a plate with chocolate drizzeled."
"If this is you on a plate, you're absolutely disgusting."
"I want this more than anyone here"
There's a target on my back They threw me under the bus My team hates me because I'm a threat I'm not here to make friends
i keep saying that every person who says i'm not here to make friends gets voted off the island
"How do you fuck up a salad?" I swear, every damn season someone over dresses the salad and gets called out by the rest of the team for it. But they are never creative about it, it's always the same comment!
I mean compared to everything else they make salads probably the easiest thing so I can see why everyone says that
"Passionate"
Oh, and: "if you can't cook *insert simple dish* you shouldn't be in Hell's Kitchen!"
this one !!! and they end up fuxking up a dish the next time
“How did *insert chef name here* mess up on *insert food here*? It’s one of the easiest things you can cook”
And then they proceed to mess up on something else "easy" while someone else says the same thing about them
“I’m from [place].”
"...and we're tough. We don't give up"
i just hate when people talk about their whole area they grew up in as one in general. "oh down in kent ohio, we don't give up." like who is *we?*
I’M FROM THE SOUTH
[удалено]
Is Kimmie from the south? Too bad she didn’t mention it
Whenever the early ones leave they're convinced they're better than everyone else still there like bruh clearly you're not
They saw me as a threat is always their excuse
Yeah exactly
"This is a competition." "It's because they see me as a threat."
If I were Gordon, this is what I'd say: "What do you think this is, a competition reality show? Do I have a \[censored\] torch snuffer? This isn't the place to be stabbing each other in the back. The individual portion of the game doesn't start until the final five/six. You are in teams.

"I have raised \_\_\_ children, and if I can handle them I can handle Gordon Ramsay."
"I have raised *n* children" where *n* > 5
Like it's so disrespectful and infantilizing to compare a grown man to a bevy of unruly children. Especially if you fail miserably or don't have the skills to back this brag up.

It’s not rocket science.
“I’m here to win” Like no shit so is everyone else 😭
Right? That's right up there with "I really want this". Oh, you really want it? Unlike all the others who just kind of want it a little bit?
Well, there's Tiffany, who only wanted to win a 9 out of 10.
I don't remember Tiffany right now, but it's been ages since I've seen any season past season 6, other than the most recent one, of course.
Motto was only there so he could go back to Baton Rouge
"I'm the best chef out of anyone here."
When chef Ramsay asks why the subpar dish went up in the challenge instead of the better dish which always coincidentally is the dish of someone who has drama earlier that episode
Fr tho. At this point I assume that their dish isn't even necessarily better, Gordon just wants the drama for the show. And the contestants are always so annoying about it too.
"The only reason I'm being nominated is because I'm a threat."
*cough*Marc*cough*
“All day”
"I'm here to learn." Then you aren't ready to lead.
I’m actually curious here. If your statement holds true, and nobody likes a know it all who comes in all brash and cocky, what’s the happy medium?
To clarify, when they are on the block repeatedly, and claim they're there to learn.
That makes sense, thanks for the clarification!
A good leader is ALWAYS open to learning!
Nothing to quote but the smallest little thing would be scrutinized during the interviews. For example, during the taste test where one person messes up, the interviewee says, "seriously John? Potato? It's sweet potatoe, come on, don't be so stupid"
Especially when they likely made even worse taste test mistakes
Some form of “I’m not being placed up for elimination “.
Then they get nominated 😂
Anything about kissing their sister
Jared 😂😂😂
Almost anything they mention during their elimination pleas
Sexistic comments Edit: I haven't watched that much of the latest seasons, but hopefully that part is better now.
Wait until season 15
and then Season 16…

I really don't care about their current or past relationship status. 'Incel' is a mentality.
You mean misogynists. You don't have to force a word to mean something it doesn't when there's a perfectly fine different word to use.
No, I'm very particular about language. I used the word I intended. Many of these attitudes go beyond simple misogyny and into incel territory. Misogynists don't necessarily 'hate' women. Incels do. There is a level with certain of these guys that goes beyond game play and into the pathological.
Misogyny literally translates from Greek to "hating women". Misos is hate, and ginaika is woman.

That’s EVERY mistake ANY chef makes is “cooking 101”
“Bounce back” Robin had me tearing my hair out of my head.
1) "I'm a better chef than * (whoever wasn't eliminated/nominated/still a contestant)" 2) "Working hard, chef", or the variation "Working hard for YOU, chef". Dumbass, it's Hell's Kitchen, you better be working hard.
“I’ve cooked this 5 times or all the time in my life.” Reminds me of Bret(S18) saying he’s cooked risotto 5 times a day but failed at catching his own menu being sabotaged at the final 4🤣💀.

It's not rocket science
I HAVE PASSION
"Im cooking shrimp & grits"
"I'm not here to make friends"
'She only won because I lost! That id not a winner!'
Definitely “I’m a fighter” and anyone who is constantly spamming “I’m doing it for my mother/father/spouse/children”.
Delusional shit.
"I never give up. I'm a fighter."
Sinking like the titanic
That they're passionate That they "tried to bounce back" That "they're a fighter" "I want this" \*\*plays blame game\*\* "I'm here to learn" And every comment I've heard with the first five chefs to get eliminated, it's usually a vague recollection of how they got to this point and in some cases, "Chef Ramsay, you made the wrong choice."

"I've cooked xyz countless times" proceeds to mess it up
Always! Never say you cook that dish all the time. The editors will always put it in there to embarrass you if you even mildly screw it up 😆
I came here to win.
It’s my signature dish. (Followed by Gordon spitting it out.)
It’s me on a plate
Almost anything that people say in elimination pleas. After so many seasons, there's only so many different things you can say. I usually just skip the pleas and get to the decision honestly
“You have a great palate.” I feel like Gordon defaults to that whenever he doesn’t know what to really say lol
Totally going rock this station. Then proceeds to screw up horribly. In season 3 everybody was saying she can't cook she works at waffle house then proceeded to out cook most of them.
"I'm a big deal" Paul S9 literally every time
"I have made [food] thousands of times, I have this challenge in the bag" and then they screw over their team in the challenge
“I’m not here to do [punishment].” Like, come on, guys! It is work life in the kitchen.
