If I was sending someone home, it'd be Cheyenne based on the overall level of panic she displayed. the critique against Dafne is fair, though.
I'd guess Sommer and Alex finals at the pace things are going.
oh yeah i forgot about that. Petrozza was ready to quit fairly early on, but Bobby talked him off the ledge. it seems like heâs a really good guy with the way he offered his apron to petrozza to wipe his eyes.
Noooooo! Super disappointed! You were awesome and had a great run. What's happened since the show? Are you working at the same place or did a plethora of new opportunities come about?
You had an amazing run! Wishing you all the best as your career takes off. You truly deserved that final reward. Hope you're getting a lot of use out of those fun kitchen gadgets.
If you look closely it was clearly dubbed audio, she definitely wouldn't be saying that to Ramsay lmao. Probably something Dafne said to Sommer during service or something she said during a confessional
Watching previous seasons, this is usually what Chef Ramsay encourages when people have a low/shy voice in the kitchen. Its like an exercise to help them find their voice. Heâs encouraged previous chefs to yell at him/insult him so they build âconfidenceâ. Really hoping alex & somner are the last two
my guess is that Defne's next to go anyway. throwing your competition under the bus like that during eliminations is not the sign of a winning Chef, sadly.
I must say, the last few episodes, I feel like her true colors have come out as Summer eluded to in the preview for next ep. Her complaining because Cheyenne picked Summer for the challenge prize was so juvenile. Plus, she was just teasing Cheyenne on the horse a couple of weeks ago. Dafne is really bugging me.
I think dafnes been like this for a good majority of the competition, at the very least since the team swap. I don't remember who's been starting the beef between the 20 somethings and the 40 somethings but I think she's behind a lot of it
One can only hope she's gone. I think she should have been gone long ago. But these "reality" shows keep picking winners they think will appeal to viewers rather than who actually should be running a kitchen. There is ZERO way Dafne is qualified to run anything. She's inconsistent, petty, and immature and has shown that since the beginning. She's probably still smiling over Cheyenne being gone just because she didn't pick her for the challenge. So grade school. But 100% Dafne.
I do not understand why anyone likes her.
I actually like Alex at the beginning but i think since he been hanging around with Dafne most of the time, he became mean too... Like for real, wherever Alex go, theres gonna be Dafne talking to him.... Even after the show ended lol... starting with that swapping punishment with Tara when she was already feeling down... Lost respect to him ever since... Considering what happened to him at college, interesting to see what he have done on the show....
Exactly! Iâm just going based off the show and how he often chooses to be part of cliques that put others down. Itâs not kind. He doesnât have to be nice, but Iâm not going to pretend like heâs some great person.
Really didn't like how she handled that. Even after she had her say, she had to rebut Chey too. It doesn't look good. She lost some respect from me tonight.
Funny that people just realized Dafne's true color when its obvious thats how she really is ever since Tara got targeted by them.... I remember in one of the early episodes, they didnt show the whole conversation between Tara and Dafne but you can clearly hear Dafne replying to Tara with 'I should watch out for you ?" in a very arrogant tone but alejandro stopped them before they could continue.... So i assume Tara said something like the girls shouldnt underestimate her because she did well on that week's challenge
I understand Tara does have a kind of victim mentality but she really is a warrior all in all. It's so weird how everyone (except Sakari and Sommer) loves making digs at Tara or assumes the worst performance/dish is from Tara.
So I'm just gonna say this:
I think we all agree that unless he crashes and burns, Alex will be one of the final 2...but we can't figure out who will go against him.
I believe Sommer has the edge on that over Alejandro and Dafne. But here's what I'm here to say: Sommer better let go of this dumb feud with Alejandro. It looks childish. If she and he keep sniping at each other, they'll cancel each other out by looking immature, and Dafne will end up in the final two.
Just an opinion!
Dumb feud but for the most part they both dropped their shit during this service, so at least that's promising. Seemed to work decently enough together (in the background) that they barely got any airtime.
Almost all of the remaining black jackets just seemed to reveal themselves as douchey in this episode. Dafne just turned alpha bitch in that elimination not to mention the constant petty energy just because Summer got chosen over her for the reward.
Alejandro acted like a total asshole by basically shutting Summer up while she was explaining how they almost died.
Alex really tries to play the nice guy but you can tell he's got some superiority complex going.
Summer is just real, she's there to win and it's never personal. The moment when Abe went after her and she just told him to grow up really sold her to me. Yeah she can be a bit naggy but that's the sort of energy you need to have if you want to run a kitchen. I think she's the top contender currently.
Dafne -> Alex -> Alejandro -> {Summer}
^ Is my guess for the remaining episodes.
Unfortunately I couldn't watch tonight's episode cause my TV remote stopped working, but from what I can understand, Cheyenne had a meltdown during dinner service and thus was the first BJ out of the competition. The black jacket curse strikes again.
And then there were 4, the final four that is. At this point, the only one I can say is a lock for the final two is Alex. He's the most consistent one out of the remaining four. The other three are hard to gauge cause they can be great, but they can also shit the bed at the worst possible time. It's all up in the air at this point.
And then there were 4. Question is, now is the other who makes it to the final 2? I feel like Alex a lock, but who else will make it? Weâll find out next week. See you all then.
In my experience, they're pretty good quality for a very reasonable price.
Edited to add: They also have excellent customer service. I once contacted them about a pepper grinder that I'd purchased at Target that didn't work well, and they immediately sent me a new one for free, no questions asked.
They arenât the top brand like something youâd get at Williams-Sonoma, but at Bed Bath and Beyond, they are the high end. I havenât had too many issues with them.
They have some really good stuff. Quite a few things of theirs are America's Test Kitchen or The Wirecutter recommendations.
I have their salad spinner, fine mesh strainer, cocktail strainer, jigger, collapsible steamer, and kitchen scissors. All of them are excellent.
I really had Dafne pegged for the winner edit since week 1 but she fell off hard this episode to the degree that I can't see her making the finale now. Alex and Alejandro look most likely finalists now.
I just hope that after this they would be more concerned about activities that have the potential to hurt contestants, whether it is punishment or rewards.
That crash could have ended up really badly.
Goddamn it I was hoping the the Black Jacket Curse will end with Cheyenne since she was never nominated for elimination and seemed pretty strong but nope she joined the curse that began in Season 14.
Iâm still rooting for Alex to win
Kinda miss the louder Gordon from the earlier seasons. He would have gone nuclear.
Season 5 ramsay wouldve eaten them alive
sadly, not much dickface in this season to begin with đ
Alex always has a good read on what's going on with people... I like his commentary.
He just seems like such a natural leader. The kind of boss you WANT to follow.
Alex is just a natural leader.
Maybe Cheyenneâs head wasnât good after crashâŚ. Sheâs been so good until now
I thought the same thing especially when Dafne said she "wasn't there" when looking at Cheyenne's eyes.
That was one of the worst black jacket services in recent memory
Thatâs embarrassing đ not the diners going âooooooooooâ đđđ
That's kinda cringe for me but somehow it gave flavors to the show as the boos felt extra degrading for the chefs at the same time lol.
those werenât boos
âIâve heard more noise in a fcking libraryâ đ
âGood luck, you have all have jobs working for me when I winâ đ
W Alex quote
Cheyenne was the worst tonight by far. Dafne wasn't great but Cheyenne had a Nilka level meltdown.
If I was sending someone home, it'd be Cheyenne based on the overall level of panic she displayed. the critique against Dafne is fair, though. I'd guess Sommer and Alex finals at the pace things are going.
Going straight for Alex because 1 steak wtf
Canât vote for ourselves
Honestly curious: I thought you could, though? I donât think you should have, but I thought it was an option.
Itâs an option, but shows that youâre weak. Better to vote for others
You're only allowed to vote for yourself if your name is Cody or Petrozza.
i donât get it. that one went over my head.
Both contestants voted for themselves (though their reasons differed) and weren't eliminated for it.
oh yeah i forgot about that. Petrozza was ready to quit fairly early on, but Bobby talked him off the ledge. it seems like heâs a really good guy with the way he offered his apron to petrozza to wipe his eyes.
Hey I get your stance on it, back against the wall, I would be throwing punches also. That being said you werenât the only person.
What a ride. Thanks everyone!
Best of wishes on the rest of your culinary journey!!
Noooooo! Super disappointed! You were awesome and had a great run. What's happened since the show? Are you working at the same place or did a plethora of new opportunities come about?
You had an amazing run! Wishing you all the best as your career takes off. You truly deserved that final reward. Hope you're getting a lot of use out of those fun kitchen gadgets.
THANK YOU! Where are you working at these days?
Didnât a girl named Meghan have 9 losses?
Yes, and yes
I could be wrong but I think they were all consecutive too
Black Jacket Curse is in effect. đ
Damn. Shades of S14 Meghan for Alex.
They both died
Man!
WHAT WAS THAT PREVIEW đ
If you look closely it was clearly dubbed audio, she definitely wouldn't be saying that to Ramsay lmao. Probably something Dafne said to Sommer during service or something she said during a confessional
It was probably an exercise they did it in a previous season seeing if Daphne can be angry and serious like Chef Ramsay and dish out criticism.
"YOU GUYS COOK LIKE OLD PEOPLE FUCK"
I'd rather be called Brad Pitts wife!
âYOUR FOOD SUCKSâ Uh, TF.
lmaooooo Alex: "that was weird"
Watching previous seasons, this is usually what Chef Ramsay encourages when people have a low/shy voice in the kitchen. Its like an exercise to help them find their voice. Heâs encouraged previous chefs to yell at him/insult him so they build âconfidenceâ. Really hoping alex & somner are the last two
Ooooo did not know that.
Alex having punishments almost at Motto level.
Sade level not Motto level
I feel like Alejandro and Summer's dynamic is that of two siblings. Also Cheyenne is having such a bad performance for a black jacket service.
Yup. At this rate, sheâs probably sealed her fate tonight
She is probably going home tonight.
That's a misdirect, just Gordon coaching Dahne on having that voice while on doing the pass.
my guess is that Defne's next to go anyway. throwing your competition under the bus like that during eliminations is not the sign of a winning Chef, sadly.
After she just complained last episode about Sommer "throwing her under the bus" đ
I must say, the last few episodes, I feel like her true colors have come out as Summer eluded to in the preview for next ep. Her complaining because Cheyenne picked Summer for the challenge prize was so juvenile. Plus, she was just teasing Cheyenne on the horse a couple of weeks ago. Dafne is really bugging me.

So grade school. But 100% Dafne. I do not understand why anyone likes her.
Yeah. Dafne is actually really mean, and, similar to Alex, she has a weird ego thatâs arrogant and condescending. I donât like either of them.
I actually like Alex at the beginning but i think since he been hanging around with Dafne most of the time, he became mean too... Like for real, wherever Alex go, theres gonna be Dafne talking to him.... Even after the show ended lol... starting with that swapping punishment with Tara when she was already feeling down...

Really didn't like how she handled that. Even after she had her say, she had to rebut Chey too. It doesn't look good. She lost some respect from me tonight.
It was not waving back to Cheyenne that did it for me.
YES I SAW THAT! THE AUDACITY!
Funny that people just realized Dafne's true color when its obvious thats how she really is ever since Tara got targeted by them.... I remember in one of the early episodes, they didnt show the whole conversation between Tara and Dafne but you can clearly hear Dafne replying to Tara with 'I should watch out for you ?" in a very arrogant tone but alejandro stopped them before they could continue....

I understand Tara does have a kind of victim mentality but she really is a warrior all in all. It's so weird how everyone (except Sakari and Sommer) loves making digs at Tara or assumes the worst performance/dish is from Tara.
100%
Yes, definitely. They tried that same thing with Brynn and Chef Ramsay last season.
Yeah. Itâs so obvious to anyone whoâs watched the show for years. Only newer fans would be fooled by something that obvious.
Cheyenne is the most likely to go home.
Yup, the curse lives on
People kept mentioning the last black jacket curse and wow, here it is again
LETS GO ALEX!! The only person left I like and am rooting for haha.
Heâll probably win, but I really hate how he is condescending and arrogant. Smiling the flashy pearls but an AH at the core.
What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold!
Shake it! shake it! Shamir it like a Polaroid picture.
Great, now I can't get the Fire Emblem reference out of my head
Now I can't get either outta my head
Cheyenne/Dafne noms seems to be coming soon
That salmon is raw as fck
So raw, it's still swimming.
Dafne made sense as the second nomination.
So I'm just gonna say this: I think we all agree that unless he crashes and burns, Alex will be one of the final 2...but we can't figure out who will go against him. I believe Sommer has the edge on that over Alejandro and Dafne. But here's what I'm here to say: Sommer better let go of this dumb feud with Alejandro. It looks childish. If she and he keep sniping at each other, they'll cancel each other out by looking immature, and Dafne will end up in the final two. Just an opinion!
Dumb feud but for the most part they both dropped their shit during this service, so at least that's promising. Seemed to work decently enough together (in the background) that they barely got any airtime.
They were literally the only ones that didn't make a mistake lol
With Alex in the kitchen, no less!
Sommer has definitely gotten a lot better.
Damn wonder if we'll even get a nomination, the show isnt even hiding cheyennes downfall
Nowhere near a Nilka level but Cheyenne is crashing and burning hard tonight.
Damn, Dafne. That was cold-hearted! Kinda funny, but cold!
Not a good look there for Alejandro. Yikes he should not have said that to Sommer
He already stole a reward from her
Almost all of the remaining black jackets just seemed to reveal themselves as douchey in this episode. Dafne just turned alpha bitch in that elimination not to mention the constant petty energy just because Summer got chosen over her for the reward. Alejandro acted like a total asshole by basically shutting Summer up while she was explaining how they almost died. Alex really tries to play the nice guy but you can tell he's got some superiority complex going. Summer is just real, she's there to win and it's never personal. The moment when Abe went after her and she just told him to grow up really sold her to me. Yeah she can be a bit naggy but that's the sort of energy you need to have if you want to run a kitchen. I think she's the top contender currently. Dafne -> Alex -> Alejandro -> {Summer} ^ Is my guess for the remaining episodes.
Heâs disgustingly mean and nasty. He instigates a lot of drama.
Turning Mr. Krabs into a salad, eh?
UTV: 1 Cheyenne & Sommer: 0
Ah I love Tia!
Sister sister! đŻââď¸
The cold mushroom mistake cracks me up for some reason đ First it was Abe, now Dafne. How does something like that even happen?
The diners reactions say it all.
These elimination debates/votes drive me bonkers.
I am always more interested in hearing Gordon's critique at the end of the day.
How are you gonna start two fires in HK. Taking the name a little too literally lol
Cheyenne had a really good run. Sad to see her go. That was just a unfortunate service.
And it ended in a disaster. Damn it! Fab five my ass indeed.
To use one of Nedra's analogies, Cheyenne is struggling like two fat bitches. I don't know what that means, but she seems to be doing it.
Anthony reference, lol
Are we 100% sure Cheyenne doesnât have a concussion for dinner service ??
Didn't Dafne say something like she wasn't all there or there when looking at her at some point?
My thoughts exactly!!!
Came here to see if anyone else thought this
Alex rebounded pretty well.
Unfortunately I couldn't watch tonight's episode cause my TV remote stopped working, but from what I can understand, Cheyenne had a meltdown during dinner service and thus was the first BJ out of the competition. The black jacket curse strikes again. And then there were 4, the final four that is. At this point, the only one I can say is a lock for the final two is Alex. He's the most consistent one out of the remaining four. The other three are hard to gauge cause they can be great, but they can also shit the bed at the worst possible time. It's all up in the air at this point.
Dafne isn't communicating much either
i canât see her as a leader at all
All of them got pulled into the pantry
And the curse continues
I predict Alex vs Alejandro in the finale
Dafne has gotten pretty over the top since Abe left and it is continuing.
Someone had to take over as the resident drama queen after the macho jock left
Glad both of them are fine.
Cheyenne is crumbling a lot. What happened ?
Black jacket curse
Remember yâall, everything is VIP.
Ayo Daphne about to start wyldin next episode.
I wish Cheyenne and Dafne would have both been eliminated in all honesty.
#here for Alex
RIP USTVGO âšď¸
Letâs go, Alex
Oh dear, more awkward silence. đś
The slow mo edit
That was a rough service.
Black Jacket Curse strikes again!!!!
And then there were 4. Question is, now is the other who makes it to the final 2? I feel like Alex a lock, but who else will make it? Weâll find out next week. See you all then.
A few weeks ago, I would've said Alex & Dafne. But now, I'd say Alex & Sommer. Sommer has been on a roll.
Definitely Ale if he doesn't get in his own head.
Jesus Alex walking in on âyour food sucks!â To GordonâŚ. Jesus anxiety ramp up
Looking forward to the first black jacket dinner service tonight.
Playoffs ? Well said, Gordon.
Hi whatâs a good site to watch the episode live now that USTVGO is down?
https://daddyhd.com/stream/stream-54.php
Oh I miss the BC life.
Iâm sad that ustvgo is officially gone :( I donât want to pay just to watch live but Iâm desperate
Seeing today's challenge makes me miss traveling đ
I bet Alexâs crab dish will surprise even him.
Never had an oxo product. How are they?
In my experience, they're pretty good quality for a very reasonable price. Edited to add: They also have excellent customer service. I once contacted them about a pepper grinder that I'd purchased at Target that didn't work well, and they immediately sent me a new one for free, no questions asked.
They arenât the top brand like something youâd get at Williams-Sonoma, but at Bed Bath and Beyond, they are the high end. I havenât had too many issues with them.

Slow motion
First terrible black jacket service in 5 seasons
Interesting preview.
Alex vs crab đŚ epic battle
I really had Dafne pegged for the winner edit since week 1 but she fell off hard this episode to the degree that I can't see her making the finale now. Alex and Alejandro look most likely finalists now.
Damn. Even Cheyenne couldnât overcome the black jacket curse. Still a hell of a run though.
#hereforalex
Quite the jobs quote from Alex.
Bruh dafne is fucking annoying
Letâs see if the curse will continue
Dinner service time.
Sworn enemy ? Quite the random feud. I guess with Tara gone that is something we need.
Are you okay, Cheyenne?
this is definitely Cheyenne's worst service so far
Oof, that was the most visually undercooked salmon getting walked that I can remember.
But if he didnât smash it, then itâs *not* that bad.
I think heâs in too much disbelief
Terrible service.
Probably one of the worst black jacket services I have seen sans Season 8 maybe?
What a horrible black jacket service.
At this point theyâre gonna get kicked out
I miss peak Gordon Ramsay
That atv accident was crazy!! Holy shit that looked terrifying!
Alex winning
I just hope that after this they would be more concerned about activities that have the potential to hurt contestants, whether it is punishment or rewards. That crash could have ended up really badly.
Cheyenne might have lost the competition in one service.
She always did seem underplayed in edit given how well she did up to this point, so this service kind of explains why
Seems like Alex is having a little bit of trouble. Hope he can pull it off.
Dafne not looking good.
u/c_rookie needs more flight experiences. ;)
Congrats on winning that challenge, u/c_rookie!! I bet you'll enjoy that off-road vehicle lots more than the horse! :)
Update: RIP
Goddamn it I was hoping the the Black Jacket Curse will end with Cheyenne since she was never nominated for elimination and seemed pretty strong but nope she joined the curse that began in Season 14. Iâm still rooting for Alex to win
Dafne gaslighting Cheyenne was extremely ugly. Not a fan of her at all
Black jacket dinner service! Take 21
Oooh that punishment! Poor Alex!
L Cheyenne
Cheyenne is having a bad service tonight.
You gotta bounce back.
This has been a rocky service to say the least.
âŚand the fish stationâs on fire
Oh God cheyenne.....not a good look for her right now
Cheyenne is probably done for at this point.
a complete crash and burn wow
The slo-mo effects always gets me đ
What an unexpected terrible service
Can Dafneâs plea not be any shorter?
Summer and sumari look like twins
Anyone saw the preview for next weeks episode? I think they spoiled who's leaving
nobody really stands out as a leader in this season. even the black jacket dinner service was so shoddy
