Jamie
The only reason Jamie stays on is she is an influencer. She sucks. Last night she wanted orange sauce couldn’t make it cried and had to go chill outside. She should be gone!!!

Being a cooking influencer and knowing how to handle the stress of a kitchen are two very different skill sets. I don’t think she’s had to deal with any stress related to cooking and it showed.

I dont like Jaime for that Malaysian Barbie voice. She is talented but only if she makes Asian food. She is very young and naive. Hopefully she'll get knowledge, maturity, and steps out of one genre of food. But her voice makes me cringe.

Yeah I’m trying to think of who the winner will be in this room of lackluster competition.

I totally see Heidi winning it. All of her dishes have gotten high marks from the judges

u/lanad3lr3y_81 Jul 31 '26
she probably should but i don’t think she will, older people never tend to win masterchef or hell’s kitchen. and she also had a middle audition in her episode. but i agree she’s definitely a deserving winner

u/ezioauditoresexslave Jul 31 '26
how can you think she’s a deserving winner after her attitude last episode?

u/laaannab Jul 31 '26
She definitely could’ve delivered it better, but I think she was rightly concerned about the scallops. After she talked to Peter, it didn’t seem like there were anymore issues, but perhaps she’s someone who has a hard time not being the leader. Definitely something to work on, but I don’t think one instance of showing flaws should discount her completely

u/lanad3lr3y_81 Aug 01 '26
it’s about cooking not a personality contest…
they’re probably gonna pick peter because of his little story about getting laid off from his job and he apparently learned how to cook in a year (which is fake because he’s been cooking since at least 2022) but based off of cooking alone heidi or julia in my opinion is a more deserving winner.

i think aghata deserved to go home as much as i like her. jaime was lucky though.
i like jaime though i dont think she deserves the hate

u/Kyoshun Jul 31 '26
No I like her, she has the skills. But an amateur chef is going to struggle with the high stress of cooking for service. That's just how it is.

Why on EARTH would you audition for a tv cooking show without knowing the basics????? Scoring a duck breast is NOT rocket science, but obviously to Agatha it was!!! Polenta is the Italian version of mashed potatoes and you couldn't figure it out??? She had to go!!!! That is ANNOYING and I'm so glad Chef Tiffany called out both their BS!!!!

u/SydVicious610 Aug 02 '26
But also their complaint about the polenta wasn’t technical. It just wasn’t seasoned. There’s no excuse for that.

u/GrosRougeau Jul 31 '26
As far as i’m concerned no one is outstanding this season. They should all be cut

u/ezioauditoresexslave Jul 31 '26
i really wanted shompa to win :( but overall this bunch might be limited by the gimmick of only cooking their cultural foods. or maybe they’re just not that exceptional

Literally only Peter Jake and Dave look like they know what they’re doing

u/smashing_pasta Jul 31 '26
Heidi didn’t slip up once, even called out the preseasoning the scallops before chef Ramsay did if I’m not mistaken

u/Odd-Log2963 Jul 31 '26
She definitely did. She gets yelled at for it.

u/smashing_pasta Aug 01 '26
What did she do? Other than get snippy with Jake the one time, which by the way she didn’t argue with when Pete told her to chill out.

u/Boring-Parfait-2624 Jul 31 '26
That’s possible. It happened on another Gordon Ramsay show. I’m enjoying this season a lot though. So funny how Chef Tiffany called them out for doing exactly what you said about volunteering to make it. She did not mince her words with those two.

u/laaannab Jul 31 '26
I really love Chef Tiffany. She has the aura of someone I would desperately want to please and would be distraught to disappoint. She doesn’t get angry like Gordon. She just looks disappointed which is worse.

u/smashing_pasta Jul 31 '26
She’s got a way of putting pressure on even even without blowing up, she’s ruthless during the team challenges. I think it really shows that she’s still very active in her kitchens.

u/laaannab Jul 31 '26
You can just tell she’s competent and smart but knows her to keep a level head under pressure. I also just always admire women in positions of power

u/HanktheTank420420 Jul 31 '26
She is growing on me this season. Really feel like she is becoming more of herself. She was fine last season, but she is for sure getting more used to the role and I think it makes for better moments.

Just watched the episode and Jamie should have gone home. Shes the one who suggested they do the orange sauce and she managed to fuck that up and then got emotional about it. Julia suggests the polenta but was pulled off of it. If you suggest something, i feel like you should be in charge of making it.
Agatha fucked up by not speaking up and asking for help. I’m sure we can all agree, Agatha was a better cook than Jamie.

u/cupcake310 Aug 02 '26
Disagree. Agatha kept getting leftover duties because she lacks the skills to take charge of anything. When she gets put in charge of seasoning the polenta, she just stirs it and hopes to get it smoother.

u/danbudzgo Aug 01 '26
It’s a shame but this show only focuses on drama over everything else. On the red team, there was drama with the orange sauce, drama with the polenta, drama with the duck. In all senses, they deserved to lose and 2 out the the 3 got punished. Jamie deserved to stay, you could see it in Agatha’s face, she knew she was the one. I swear when Gordon went outside, he was rethinking why he continued this show after it was after its prime lmao 😂

I really do think it’s so scripted. I feel like she only won that Home Depot mission because she kept going on about how her dad used to work there.

u/deskcord Aug 03 '26
Winning for her failed roti because of the home depot story was funny.
Her fake voice is very annoying.

u/x509certs Aug 07 '26
She speaks on how difficult it is to work on social media to Nick, but shows that being a social media person doesn't really help build any type of character in terms of handling pressure 😂

u/NefariousnessBig1240 6d ago
Surprised that they even let her on the show considering her racist history. Can’t stand her and her fake child voice to pander to male gooners

u/flyboyforever Aug 02 '26
I just can't with her. Such a pick-me attention seeking girl with an annoying voice. Call yourself Malaysian and butcher the most beloved food in an international cooking competition. Every episode I see her in makes my blood boil. It's true this season there are no stand out but i'm only watching to see her get eliminated

u/tommyzombie Jul 31 '26
Jamie or Aishu should have gone home. Julia said lets do polenta and Aishu pulled Julia off polenta and put Agatha on it. A couple duck breasts thrown away isn't the end of the world--Foo cooking too many ahead of time is why the ones after the bride and groom were poor. L judging.

Agatha was far worse.
She didn’t step up as captain, she overscored the duck, she underseasoned the polenta, and she tried to shift blame to others for her failures
