Isn't this the second time Will has finished runner-up on a reality cooking show?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This isn't unprecedented. Gordon always opts for the young up and comer that shows a ton of improvement. Remember Christina vs Petroza.

 

[KibblesBits]

Elise STILL CRYING LOLLLOLLLLL. And gordon calls her a bitch to boot, great ending.

Fix your TARDIS.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I bet Will is probably secretly really bitter. WOWSA!

Nah. While I felt he was the better chef, that's the game for you. And haha Ramsey said it himself. STOP BEING SUCH A BITCH. Even he called Elise a bitch. That says it all right there.

 

[spiderman123]

Gordon Called Elise a Bitch...BEST ENDING EVER!!!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Fix your TARDIS.

*urbandictionaries it*

lol. I have not achieved such power yet

 

[CrankyJay]

Awww man...I thought Will had it all. But the way they edited shit they probably wanted you to think that all along.

 

[Chamber]

Paul got put over. The mom issues coming up in the last episode was a big tip off.

All said and done it was. All season they didn't mention it worth a damn then that's hammered home over and over again in the final.

Man, you guys give NO ONE any credit EVER.

in hindsight you can see it! But the way they made Will seem like the clear fave counteracted it.

Paul definitely improved the most, and had the most passion, what more could ya ask forrrrr.

 

[CrankyJay]

Rewind your replays...Paul's handle was turned down slightly more than Will's before they even turned them. Looked way off to me.

lol I like how we're hardcore analyzing now so we can predict better in the future.

LOL yep. Don't get me wrong though...I'm happy Paul won. It was a dream finale. They were the two best all season.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Man, you guys give NO ONE any credit EVER.

Um way to skim the thread and not see the posts where I for example gave him tons of credit. But you keep trying to make it look like nobody is giving him credit.

LOL yep. Don't get me wrong though...I'm happy Paul won. It was a dream finale. They were the two best all season.

Yup. We really could not have had a better finale then that. Without a doubt the two who deserved to be there were there.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Just started watching but has Paul never seen the show, the show chefs always send up sabotaged food.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

LOL yep. Don't get me wrong though...I'm happy Paul won. It was a dream finale. They were the two best all season.

yeah first one in a while where I would be happy either way. And it's alright I've tried to analyze the door handle many times to predict the winner.

I COULD NEVER GET A HANDLE ON IT.

 

[IceCold]

I loved how Chef kept making fun of Tommy for having such a young gf.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Thinking about it in retrospect, Will was clearly a ringer. He was too good.

 

[Chamber]

Man, you guys give NO ONE any credit EVER.

Sorry, I was defending Paul when you throwing him under the bus in favor of Elise and claiming not to be a white knight.

I like Paul. He's a good chef but the show was edited in a way to make Will come off as the best all year long. That's just a fact. Add in Paul's sudden mommy issues and yeah, it looks like Will got jobbed.

It is too. However from the start both Paul and Will were picked by almost everyone to make the finals. Sure a few misguided people thought Elise actually stood a chance but still. The simple fact that almost everyone had those two pegged from the start should show that they've been given a ton of credit.

word, I called it like...2 or 3 episodes in. But I honestly thought Will had the win in the bag BUT I'm not surprised Paul won, he deserves it.

Well I had Will and Jennifer first but eventually it became clear Paul was above Jennifer. The pecking order the this season was definitely clear early on.

Do you watch wrestling?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I figured Will and Paul with Jennifer coming in third. She however started sucking pretty hard at the end. Even though those were my choices for the top 3 I was hoping Carrie and/or Natalie would make it to the end. Namely cause they were pretty good looking. As mentioned before those chef's uniforms so do not make the ladies look good.

I think Elise was cute despite how fucking irritating she was most of the season. She seemed alright these late two episodes though. Was hoping for a final battle between Elise/Carrie.

 

[Chamber]

Do you watch wrestling?

I try not to.

 

[DrForester]

Paul... the heck?

Not a Petroza level robbery. Paul did good with a very bad team.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Paul... the heck?

Did you watch the finale?

 

[Onion_Relish]

oh man, finally Elise eats a dick. God bless america.

Gonna watch the shit out of this finale, my money is on will big time.

 

[MC Safety]

Elise stuck around far too long.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

I usually just watch Hell's Kitchen for the entertainment and I don't care too much who wins but I really wanted Will to take it. Paul was competent and all but Will was so much better.

 

[agrajag]

Didn't watch a single episode of this (don't care for this show), but a friend of mine and a classmate from culinary school worked under Paul at St. Regis/Ritz Carlton. So I'm happy for him. Also, there was an interview with him on a local radio show this morning where he pretty much gave it away that he won.

 

[spiderman123]

Man I am going to write a letter of anger to Gordon B.S Ramsay, expressing my dissatisfaction with his decision.

 

[Threi]

Well that's done with.

Meh season, most unbearable goes to...GAF. Far more annoying than the person they were annoyed at.

Will should have won, but its no Patrozza shit.


Overall:

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

The credit sequence was the best part of the whole season. Gordon makes fun of Tommy's girlfriend saying she's in high school and called Elise a bitch.

 

[diamondstar]

Was happy for either but Will was my pre-pick. Once the mom stuff came out I figured it would go to Paul .. Aww well . Good competitive final 4 though.

Hate Elise more than Rachel and Brenda from BB. I wanted more tears from her. Bitch can lead and cook(for the most part) but can't follow for shit, blames other people for her fuck ups and talks way too much. Her voice especially when yelling started to become unbearable. Fuck her.

 

[Poyunch]

Yeah Paul wins. He had a better service plus having Elise to cover for everyone else was pretty smart. Fucking Krupa.

 

[Tornado Condor]

Wow, will got robbed. And who is this patrozza guy that you guys keep mentioning? I didn't watch previous seasons.

 

[benjipwns]

Runner up in season four, he lost to a less experienced Christina because Ramsay saw something "special" in her.

Apparently she's one of the more successful winners though. Not comparable to Heather from season two or anything but she was working at one of Thomas Kellar's places last I saw.

 

[Pkaz01]

I actually liked this season even though it was full of idiots it was still damn entertaining. and it shows how much editing changes up the show all season elise is a bitch finale comes she is the hero.

 

[UberTag]

At least Will will have to actually compete tonight instead of hiding out on garnish waiting for other people to screw up. I'm cheering for Paul to win in an upset.

Just finished watching tonight's finale! HELL YEAH, PAULIE WON!!!
This ranks up there with one of the best Hell's Kitchen seasons for me.

 

[benjipwns]

Thinking about it, I'd love an All-Star season at this point. Of the talents cut short (like the one asian girl who got injured, the "losers" like Petrozza, etc.), not what FOX would pick. :lol Hell, most of the winners could come back since they aren't doing anything.

Will and Paul were probably too good for the show to be in the same season, like Dave and Kevin. Also Michael and Ralph.

I hope Will winds up on Top Chef or something, I want him to do every cooking reality show until he finally doesn't finish second.

 

[commish]

Well that's done with.

I can agree with that. The reactions here were pretty undeserved, but at least Elise got to shine in the finale and was the reason Paul won.

The chefs on Top Chef are quite a cut above the chefs on Hells Kitchen.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

The chefs on Top Chef are quite a cut above the chefs on Hells Kitchen.

Will was on Chopped (right?) I think he could do it.

 

[benjipwns]

The chefs on Top Chef are quite a cut above the chefs on Hells Kitchen.

Uhh, yeah, obviously.

 

[commish]

Will was on Chopped (right?) I think he could do it.

Even on Chopped, though, chefs only create 3 dishes, tops, in less than 2 hours time, using the random ingredients given to them. It's harder to stand out under those conditions. Over a season of Top Chef, I feel like Will would get demolished.

Uhh, yeah, obviously.

So... he couldn't win against the lower quality chefs of Hells Kitchen, but you want to see him compete against the superior chefs of Top Chef?

 

[Chamber]

lol

Didn't you chastise us for not giving Paul credit?
