I think everyone forgot Lacey's meltdown because it was an inevitability compared to Nilka; however, I think the biggest meltdown came from Giovanni in Season 5 because he had been pretty consistent all season. Only had a couple bad moments then in the top 6 the steakhouse chef completely failed on meat, talked back to Chef Ramsey, and severely burned Robert's hand because he put a 500° plate in the cooler without telling anyone. Turning a potential 3rd place or runner up finish into a 6th place finish.
#4:- KASHIA was like JOY in Season 12, she couldn't take any form of criticism & would immediately thrown in the down or have a mood which would effect the food
When you said Nilka wasn't #1, I thought it would be J! Since he sucked on fish, ruined both team's risotto, got booted midservice, and there were no other boots that nigh because they had NO chance after him. But, that was a GOOD curve ball as I forgot about Lazy Lacey. Great video!
Emotionally, J didn't really crumble, despite botching his service horribly And a meltdown would imply if did a number on your emotions. And it did ALLLL the numbers on Lacey.

What's ironic about Vanessa's elimination in episode 3 is that she wasn't even one of the nominees for that night. Manda was the original second nominee, but Ariel (whose turn it was to announce the nominees) threw Vanessa in the bottom along with Meese, since she felt Vanessa was the actual weakest of the team. So basically, she did what Gabriel did to Ralph on Season 12, except Ariel wasn't trying to save herself. And yet this somehow started Ariel's villain arc for the season. Though I do wonder, if Manda and Meese went up, if Ramsay would've called Vanessa down anyway, as he's done that before. He probably would have. You are right about one thing though: Vanessa absolutely would've been the first out had the red team lost that service. Having basically the entire team bail you out is kind of a death knell in this. And honestly, I'm not sure who she would've been up against in the bottom there.
In what reality are Hawaiian and Asian food the same and Elizabeth took a moment of brilliance by making a scallop dish, something the blue team did not do, and destroying it with bacon BBQ sauce
@@Fulgore2005With that , one question in mind How far can she go had she did not suffer a heat stroke? I think she could go to top 8 and missing out on black jacket should she did not suffer mental issues.
This is really good. As someone who has little viewing of this show, seeing these different meltdowns give a very unique suspense for this show. I might start checking this series out (not just for the meltdowns, but for how suspenseful it can be 👀).
I will say that Elise is a good enough chef, but she's WAY TOO INCONSISTENT service wise, and makes way too many service mistakes to get a black jacket let alone place third, especially given her performance in episode 14 of season 9(which was a worse performance than both of Elise's performance that you did put up there), which was horrific, I will say though that I think Tommy is a worse chef than Elise.
I agree 100%. Elise is not a horrible chef, as she had quite a few good services, good reward challenge dishes, and even bouts of good leadership, but there was nothing consistently good about her. She'd have her highs, but too many lows to make it equal anything better than slightly above average.
Another great video! I'm looking forward to more of your future HK content. I was surprised Nilka wasn't #1, but the more I got to thinking toward the end of the #2 entry, I just knew #1 had to be Lacey. I don't think she's as awful as some HK fans make her out to be, but her constant whining definitely became nerve-grating. Like you said, at least Nilka tried to fight back and get through the service. Lacey completely gave up, and I'm surprised Gordon didn't eliminate or kick her out when she said she couldn't cook meat. On another note, I would rearrange some of these entries in their order, but I still respect your choices.
An interesting observation I've noticed about some of these meltdowns that resulted in elimination (as well as eliminations on HK in general) is that Natalie, Frank (S13), Kashia, and Nilka, had their meltdowns on the fish station. Both Cheyenne from Season 21 on her AMA and Season 10 winner Christina Wilson on her Instagram stories have both stated that the fish station is one of the hardest stations (along with garnish) in Hell's Kitchen given how many likeable chefs and strong frontrunners had their HK runs end after a bad night on the fish station. There's the previously mention Natalie and Nilka, Mr. 100 aka Sterling in Season 13, Kevin (S6's runner up) when he returned in Season 18, Alison in Season 14, Cheyenne in Season 21, Anthony in Season 11, Van in both Season 6 and Season 17, even Jon Scallion (one of the most beloved chefs in HK) had his HK run end in Season 11 after he was placed on the fish station.
Yes, I went back and observed the 4 main stations (Apps, Fish, Meat, Garnish), to see which had the most eliminations, and Fish did by a considerable margin, though Meat came close to closing the gap. Now, while the stats would suggest fish being the hardest station, any individual chef might say otherwise, it's just going to depend on their experiences. But fish does seem to trip the most people up for whatever reason. I'm not a professional chef, so I don't know what those reasons are, but you're correct about it being an interesting observation.
#8:- ELIZABETH couldn't even recall basic information just given to her, when you have someone like that in Hell's Kitchen, they need to be Eliminated with immediate effect whether they were on The Winning Team that night or not
Had I included Joy on this list, I'd have put her at #3. But I said at the beginning I wouldn't include rage quits, which Joy counted as big time (heck I used said rage quit as a visual aid for that criteria), so she didn't make the list. But yes, her meltdown was as tumultuous, if not moreso, than Kashia's.
They practically had an alliance going throughout the season. Some have even argued whether or not Kashia getting eliminated was the beginning of the downward spiral for Joy. Like her quitting the very next episode was in part due to her friend not being there anymore.
Another example that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned was Brian during the service right before the Black Jackets. Dude was getting so boggled down by his mistakes that he completely lost it out of nowhere. I believe that singlehandedly cost Brian a black jacket as he was definitely more consistent than Robyn but he couldn't keep his composure when it mattered the most which lead to Robyn getting a Black Jacket over him.
I'm actually considering making a Part 2 for this video, and Brian could very well make an appearance. And to anyone else who sees this comment, yes Kimmie too.
Here’s in my opinion the top 5 biggest meltdowns in Hells Kitchen History. 5th, Clemenza’s Season 10 final 13 service. 4th, Josh’s Season 3 final 5 service. 3rd, Lacey’s Season 5 final 9 service. 2nd, Gabriel’s Season 12 final 7 service. 1st, Say it with me, Nilka’s Season 7 final 7 service.
It'd basically be a ranking of the Winners, with *maybe* a few runners-up sprinkled in. That strikes me as a not very exciting ranking, so I don't plan on doing that rn.
Apologies if I keep commenting here, but for me, the meltdowns for me that are the most heartbreaking are when they happen to contestants I'm rooting for. Mainly because I want them to succeed and pull through, but they just can't. You already mentioned Natalie at the number 8 spot, but an another example I can think of was the first black jacket service from Season 3, the same one where Josh got booted mid-service and Rock threw a temper tantrum. During that service, Julia (my favorite contestant that season) was struggling on the garnish station and mentioned she forgot where the monkfish garnish was. Julia herself admitted during her confessional that it felt like she was missing and Ramsay accused her of giving up. You could actually see her crying in a couple of scenes and, again during her confessional, she was saying, "Okay, get it together, get it together." And then we cut to a shot of her in the confessionals crying and calling herself "stupid." Despite not being the biggest meltdown that season, that one hurt me as Julia was a rootable underdog that I wanted to succeed and go much further in the competition.
Comment as much as you want (as long as it stops short of spamming obviously), I otherwise don't mind that. And I agree, it's pretty heartbreaking when it comes to chefs you root for. For what it's worth, I doubt Julia was winning anyways. Yes she had a great underdog story, but she was showing weakness at that point in the season too, like in the F7 Part 2 reward, where she made a straightforward lobster risotto for the challenge, despite the goal being creativity. Not that she can't be, but given her lack of experience, she was doing her best to just perform professional before going fancy with dishes, and I can't fault her for that. But as who'd make a better winner b/w her and Rock in *terms* of creativity? Rock, with all due respect to Julia.
I wasn’t expecting the #1 choice but it makes a lot of sense. I won’t spoil who it is for those who haven’t seen the list and/or show but all I’ll say is it lead to one of my favorite lines for anyone in or out of context. “She sucks. Adios, biatch.” Such an iconic and badass line for said person to go out on and well deserved.
#6:- FABIOLA I think had the heat get to her which was why she look like she physically & mentally couldn't go on Why on earth the red team were wanting to keep her that night does not make sense to me
I think so too. Dehydration, like Season 13's Jennifer. The difference is Fabiola's happened between the challenge and dinner servic. She was likely not fully recovered. Whereas Jennifer's occurred following a dinner service. That meant going to the hospital that night, getting treatment and enough rest to recover, then perform.
Having completed Season 2 a couple nights back, would Virginia failing at making Beef Wellingtons in the season premiere also count as a meltdown? From what I recall, she brought undercooked Wellingtons to the pass, acted confused and told Ramsay that she had no idea what was on the menu and (in an act of desperation) went into the Blue Team's kitchen to look for lamb sauce only to be shut down by Keith. I could tell that she was almost on the verge of crying there.
Not a bad idea, but not sure I could do that. 1) Because FlynnMasters already did that, and I'm trying to not outright copy him (even my Worst Teams video took a different angle that his did), and 2) I feel I can get this across better if I rank my least favorite seasons, b/c the worst a cast is, the harder it is for me to enjoy the season.
@@ultranaticproductions3103 Here's mine. The season 2 cast. barely won any services, half of them weren't even trained chefs. Season 4 cast. Had a few good cooks, but several bad ones, Including Jason Underwood.. so vile. Season 7 cast. had the worst red team in the shows history, and honestly blue wasn't much better. had a creep on it, and Ed started perfectly, but completely crashed and burned at black jackets. Season 8 cast. Need i say more? season 10 cast. good lord this was agonizing to watch. All the fighting in red, and the blue team Only winning 1 service.. You wanna know how many times teams were named joint losers? 6. yeah. They were named joint losers 6 times! There's a reason I labeled 10 as the worst season of HK.
I'm unsure if you'll read this, but it'd be interesting on a winner's ranking based on the numbers like you did on the best/worst teams of hell's kitchen, to see who is the best and worst based on statistics
Statistics are hard to quantify with individual performances...but that's not to say I don't think it's possible. I'm working on something similar to what you're suggesting, just not with the winners. I'm gonna work my way up to that.
@@ultranaticproductions3103A way you could factor it is how they contributed to team challenge wins, how many times they were up for elimination, if they had any serious mistakes during services (like Ariel in S15 having that horrible service) and their individual challenge wins.
considering these are from services, it wouldn't make sense because joseph vs ramsay happened at the nomination ceremony. he was a firecracker but he was also a decent chef, and could've potentially gone far if he didn't essentially quit
there are 0 reasons why Ben went home on day 1 other than to keep Elise on the show. If he really had that bad health problems then it should have been done between services.
He unquestionably acted like a jerk...but based on how I personally defined "meltdown", that doesn't qualify. I said it would lead to a "tear-filled breakdown", which didn't happen at all to Russell. A loophole to that criteria would be if he were ashamed of his performance, but he wasn't. He blamed his team, not himself. So while that reaction is one of the most bitter things to ever happen in reality TV, I don't consider it a meltdown.
Personally, I do think Lacey is overhated. She was the target of the entire red team, and the level of shit they sent her way could make anyone crack. Look at what happened when she switched teams. The Red team imploded into vicious catfights. She had a bad attitude, and the bullying didn't help. At least she wasn't Elise, who was had a bad attitude all around. Look at the beginning of season 17, when the women had to take down all the rafters and everything. She may have had the biggest guns, but she wasn't doing anything to help out, even commenting on how she could get hurt. There were scrawnier women who were working hard in the punishment. Elise was being a diva.
Why revise history about Kashia. She couldn't cook chicken , accused Jessica,Melanie, and God only knows who else of betraying her!. And heaven forbid anyone criticize her, then she attacks like a rabid dog. And more than fifty percent of the time, it was impossible to understand what she was saying.
26:55 I hate Johnny too, don't get me wrong, but E1 Johnny compared to "Rat face" Johnny is night and day, the best example being how he stood up to Matt after Matt tried to send up Aaron
I've said this elsewhere, but Johnny calling anyone "Ratface" or "Splinter" is a fricking load, given he looks like he could be a villain in one of the Nutcracker movies.
26:53 same I have a whole entire reason why I h3te Johnny but I got to agree with him for once can clams with fresh food does not equal success especially if you're in Gordon Ramsay's house
53:30 - 53:37 These 7 seconds are basically what every S5 contestant felt like when Lacey was eliminated. And that "adios biatch" was just the icing on the cake.
No Joy.. well this list in invalid. Also lacy wasn't a chef. Her meltdown was just a matter of time so you cant really count it as one of the greatest. That girl just couldn't cook lol
Joy quit, which was a criteria NOT to be on the list, and Lacey had 2 GREAT services, her last on the red (but despite that they still nominated her), and her first on the blue
I think everyone forgot Lacey's meltdown because it was an inevitability compared to Nilka; however, I think the biggest meltdown came from Giovanni in Season 5 because he had been pretty consistent all season.

Personally, I do think Lacey is overhated. She was the target of the entire red team, and the level of shit they sent her way could make anyone crack.
Look at what happened when she switched teams. The Red team imploded into vicious catfights.
She had a bad attitude, and the bullying didn't help.
At least she wasn't Elise, who was had a bad attitude all around. Look at the beginning of season 17, when the women had to take down all the rafters and everything. She may have had the biggest guns, but she wasn't doing anything to help out, even commenting on how she could get hurt. There were scrawnier women who were working hard in the punishment. Elise was being a diva.
I can say this with all respect to Pauline; goodbye.
Why revise history about Kashia. She couldn't cook chicken , accused Jessica,Melanie, and God only knows who else of betraying her!. And heaven forbid anyone criticize her, then she attacks like a rabid dog. And more than fifty percent of the time, it was impossible to understand what she was saying.
#5:- KIMBERLY well I had no faith in her since Signature Dishes & she certainly did NOT deserve to get as far as The Black Jackets
a made 10 seconds and had to quit
26:55 I hate Johnny too, don't get me wrong, but E1 Johnny compared to "Rat face" Johnny is night and day, the best example being how he stood up to Matt after Matt tried to send up Aaron
I've said this elsewhere, but Johnny calling anyone "Ratface" or "Splinter" is a fricking load, given he looks like he could be a villain in one of the Nutcracker movies.
26:53 same I have a whole entire reason why I h3te Johnny but I got to agree with him for once can clams with fresh food does not equal success especially if you're in Gordon Ramsay's house
The death of YT has begun.
53:30 - 53:37
These 7 seconds are basically what every S5 contestant felt like when Lacey was eliminated.
And that "adios biatch" was just the icing on the cake.
No Joy.. well this list in invalid.
Also lacy wasn't a chef. Her meltdown was just a matter of time so you cant really count it as one of the greatest. That girl just couldn't cook lol
Tbf Joy is less of a meltdown and more of a rage quit, but hey what can you do
Agree with Lacey tho
Joy quit, which was a criteria NOT to be on the list, and Lacey had 2 GREAT services, her last on the red (but despite that they still nominated her), and her first on the blue
*promo sm* 🌷
WTF Lacey really, DID you forget season 18 melt down Jen ring a bell,
No rage quits. Jen rage quitted. I know GR told her to get out too but...come on, she was leaving regardless of what he said.
