[@AdamMelloul-mz1pu]

Matt is the worst even if you only include what happened on the show. But comparing to Andrew, Johnny and Paulie it's close. Matt sucked in the first two services. However Andrew and Johnny became douches in the third episode and after Matt tried to quit he calmed down until after the team switch. Andrew had the ego the size of a blimp whilst Johnny continued to be a douchebag right up until his final episode. After Johnny left, Paulie became the biggest douche ever whilst Matt's douchiness returned to an all time high

[@RJLiams]

I absolutely disagree that not losing your mind over a loss means you dont have passion. Why do we constantly push this narrative? How does throwing a tantrum, stomping the ground, yelling, and attacking anyone like a prepubescent child passion? It's someone who has no ability to regulate their emotions.

[@marthapriddle5473]

Same here. Honestly really dissapointing to see that narrative pushed in this video

[@fallencyano9015]

it usually just means they either learned to bottle their emotions, are still in shock, are in shutdown mode/freeze mode (like flight or fight), realizing this in specific wasnt for them (may still be passionate for cooking), or theyre trying to go over the day and figure out how they went wrong and how to improve. or they do actually have a good grip on their emotions and arent letting the angry guy get to them

[@HamstringCollector]

He describes it as an "insane lack of passion." He still looks pretty upset to me. He's just not flying into primal caveman rage because he undercooked something.

Meanwhile on the red team, we had one of the most pure and respectful rivalries in HK history. That was Ryan vs Heidi. But they were absolutely overshadowed by that trash blue team.

[@DFlemAllStar-sj5oj]

That's practically why Genaro's elimination pisses me off so much. They wanna say that he's got no passion for not flipping out like the others. Worse, in a later episode, they turn around and say that Koop smashing a chair is unacceptable and worthy of being eliminated, like that wasn't their definition of "passion" earlier.

Like I always said, Season 11 Blue Team sucked talent wise. With the exception of Jon who carried that whole team. Least they are tolerable to put up with to a degree.

S11 Blue Team mostly hating on Dan the man child and Zach the saboteur who somehow survived so long. But overall, they're just pathetic but not as vile as S16 Blue Team and at least no one is a sexist on that team or bully anyone. Even Jon, Anthony and Zach welcomed Nedra when she joined them but Nedra being bitchy towards them instead and later they (minus Anthony who got eliminated) also welcomed Ja'Nel who joined them later.

[@rayewaddell9668]

@@eddieolshefski6467 Right! While the S11 blue team contestants weren’t fully unlikable like that, it’s just the problem was that they just didn’t work well with each other together and that’s why they kept losing so many challenges. Even with Jon always doing the best, one of his teammates would always end up screwing them over.

[@DFlemAllStar-sj5oj]

S11's Blue Team had Jon. That right there makes them the more likable team. Even the more detestable chefs from like Sebastian, Jeremy, Dan and Zach (in his later episodes) were (at least arguably) more tolerable to deal with than the entire s16 Blue Team.

[@oscarotoole]

To me personally, it feels as if production were HEAVILY trying to make the S16 Blue Team their next Elise (or Elises) with how toxic they were. As we saw thanks to Elise, the drama starters were especially starting to be favoured over the actual talented contestants, all for the means of ratings. Matt especially was Elise levels of toxic to me, and others like Johnny and Paulie aren't too far behind. Although, I can honestly say they weren't kept around for drama compared to Elise for the most part. It's not to say that they didn't cause BS eliminations like she did though, because yeah, their toxicity certainly caused some. Jessica essentially got bullied off of the show by them, they played favourites with nominating Pat and Aaron despite both doing much better on their elimination episodes, and Koop was literally snitched on by Paulie when he brought up Koop's outburst in the dorms. Also, Matt.....good lord, I loathe him with a burning passion. Undoubtedly my least favourite chef in the show's history, especially thanks to the racism and production threatening that came out about him. For those who don't know, Matt didn't return for the finale because he threatened production, and was outed as a racist when comments he made towards Hassan from S15 got leaked online
