Yall cheering rock and he deserved the win but bonnie smiled in defeat and was so happy for him, such a great soul

[@jacobzufall]

She didn't even take a moment. She was right out there smiling.

[@SirTatManTat]

Yea that takes a lot of freakin maturity to immediately be happy for your opponent winning. Pretty incredible. I think she felt safe knowing that she's a good chef and will be fine regardless of winning because of her determination.

[@mksee66]

I think bonnie felt she already won by being in the finals

[@IsanG08]

Its called copping

[@tommymatt5]

I think she knows she did well enough in the last challenge to have every other restaurant eyeing her as well 🤷🏾‍♂️ She’s very talented as well

[@CipherFiveZero]

15:04, Rock getting mad over Lobster Bisque makes me laugh so hard.

[@juniorruiznava-ff2sy]

3:01-3:02 shows you really what kind of heart rock has

[@bmg1001]

Exactly. Rock is my favorite HK winner/contestant and this is why.

[@k_Emptyhead]

Bonnie took that defeat so elegantly. MASSIVE Props to her. 🫶

[@ThatEvo6Guy]

Youve got to go... into the final. "Dont scare me like that" Reminded me of the key and peele MKR skit. Lol 😂😂😂

[@TPRules17]

Rock is a great winner, he’s so beloved and you can see the passion! Apart from the lobster challenge, he wasn’t a rock there.

[@saffronia2992]

Nah he was just as passionate. Remember, the men had only won two challenges. It probably just built up to that point. Anyone would have lost their head.

[@AlessandroChiarelli]

Rock basically carried the second, the third and the fourth service. In the others but the first BJ service, was clearly the best performer

[@sincerelynotme3522]

Rock was one of my favorite winners. Up there with Michael.

[@kman33ful]

strange use of a comma

[@phillipwilliams7679]

Nah. I pass...

Taking him to the photo shoot to pick up trash was MESSED UP

[@curtispandachuk9323]

I very much respect rock for the fact that when he stated you know like yeah it’s a competition that’s good great fine but he’s not trying to put anybody else down to bring himself up it’s a competition it’s about your abilities

I actually got to meet Rock. Nit only is he a talented hef, but he's very personable.

How did you meet him?

My favourite winner of all time!😊 I loved watching Rock absolutely dominated this whole season!

Not hard to “dominate” a bunch of incompetent opponents. It’s like an adult playing t-ball with 6yr olds & claiming that the adult “dominated”. 🙄🙄🙄

⁠@@pseudopuppy160*..Humble yourself. It’s not as easy as you’re saying n that shows ya ignorance big time 😂 “not hard” 😅😂*

[@GiantLittleWolf]

What annoys me about Rock and other contestants is that they act like babies when they lose a challenge. However, what was really fked up is that The Gordon called Rock all they way to the photoshoot just to pickup trash.

[@predatorcote1944]

Cue someone calling it racist!

[@latiffree]

Yeah..... you

[@LIAA23423]

I'm pretty sure he called Rock out there to see if he'd break under pressure, etc, because he saw Rock as a strong competitor. As you can see, he was right.

The face of Rock when Gordon put Melissa in the men´s team. Probably every put that same face and we don´t know why Gordon give her another opportunity, but see that was really funny.

[@KMO325]

I remember watching this season when it came out. Rock is still my favorite winner, my man who won with a broken arm is my second favorite.

[@funeralgrey250]

Dave and Rock are top tier HK winners

[@SandraNelson063]

Rock grew up in the ghetto. That was key. My Dad was a Navy man. On HMCS Margaree, he was the supply officer. He worked closely with the kitchen/mess staff. The cooks taught him how to make various things, to bolster his mother's teaching. He loved hosting dinners at home. Once he decided to make lobster bisque for his guests. He had never made it before. He studied recipes for a week, then knocked it out of the park on the day of the dinner. His guests were delighted.

[@aylin9484]

Rock really deserved to win. He’s my favorite winner of all. Hope he’s doing great 😊

[@sincerelynotme3522]

I disagree but Bonnie pleasantly surprised me that season. She had a terrible start but locked in. She clearly had the passion and the drive but I do feel she was 2nd that season. Was really close, I've never seen it be that close except maybe one other season.
