The Kristen and Stephanie eliminations were harsh. Shirley’s look said it all. Kristen was a stand up chef for not blaming Josie.

Alternative title: Talented people being robbed lol Specially Stephanie that was basically setup to go home with that Final 6 immunity quickfire/team challenge

I don't get why he even got so far when he didn't season his food the whole time.

so glad kristen won last chance kitchen and came back :)

[@Daniel-mw7pu]

It goes to show that she deserved to win, having overcome all of the other eliminated opponents. She stormed the finale too.

[@phantomslay5612]

I honestly would've quit this series if her elimination stayed permanent. Kristen did not deserve to go home in that episode. Thankfully she returned and proved why she's one of the best chefs who's ever been in this series.

[@anthonyjsgamingchannel7272]

Stephanie's elimination was sad. But she made up for it on all stars going all the way to the finale

[@YellowFalse]

Kevin's wasn't surprising. He drove that restaurant into the ground. It was restaurant wars, not burden the whole team trying to make 10 gold medals at the Olympics with non athletes. The words "restaurant wars" certainly warps people's minds to have some caricatured dream land in their heads.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I mean to be fair, Kevin lead his team to failure and he was punished fairly for it.

[@jarthur5094]

If you win immunity you get to stay. It’s ridiculous to make him feel bad

[@christienelson1437]

This show isn’t really about the Best Chef but the best Chef and Restaurant Manager. Cooking is one thing, managing a kitchen another and running a restaurant a whole other skill. Many individuals on the show are just learning to become stronger Chefs and aren’t ready for the big restaurant picture.🙏❤️❤️💕

[@hazmoses1324]

Nicholas is the worst of that season yet somehow won He kept talking about integrity and insulted carlos' integrity, and in the end he showed that he is the biggest slimeball in the world

[@rainbowblossom143]

Restaurant wars is always the challenge where they send home the wrong people.

[@xLAPPUINx]

I really did not care for Josie from jump.

[@ttllelu503]

She was really irritating to watch.

[@dgaller06]

The thing is, I actually liked Josie when she was in Season 2. I was kinda shocked to see her acting the way she did in Season 10.

[@rmusic08]

I was so upset when nini was eliminated. Wish she had been around longer

[@rmusic08]

All the eliminated chefs were memorable and impactful in their own way which is why id consider their eliminations unfair....except whoever that arnold guy is..dont remember him at all and i dont recall him being that outstanding

[@geddoe316]

I would like to add tre from season 3 to the list. i really felt it was going to be him and hung at the end, and he got eliminated much sooner than i thought.

[@avalangrin4904]

CJ set up Tre in Restaurant Wars. Tre is a more talented chef than CJ. I also believe CJ overcooked Brooke’s chicken wings during her finale. CJ is a mess. 🤨

[@nikhilcruz]

Bold to make a video highlighting all of the wrong calls made by the judges. Stephanie especially.

[@7.5Mviews]

Restaurant wars is such an unfair challenge to go home on. They should eliminate the whole losing team since it’s not just one person’s fault on a team challenge.

[@oOmary1389oO]

Nah, they should battle it out one last time and cut the least favorite

[@nickturmes1715]

Eliminantions, huh?

[@jarthur5094]

Did Melissa throw Kevin under the bus

[@curtisaramil]

All these all team challenges and about half are from restaurant wars. They really need to stop making elemnation challenges having team aspects.

[@CanCanHikes]

Agreed! For example, Nicholas totally threw that team challenge on purpose (reaching out of his comfort zone with chocolate chicken) when he had solo immunity…in a team challenge. FFS. Makes no sense.

[@carolwarchol976]

Nicholas should have resigned. Seeing him win the whole thing was repulsive.

[@djonan]

Wish the show would get away from large catering challenges or being super restrictive with ingredients. Let the best all-around chef win....and not have it be because they are older and cannot be up for 48-hours straight trying to start a fire in a snowstorm.
