And now we have five. And none of them are Elise. The ONE week I thought she was safe as can be, and she went home. That’s my luck. Let’s rank the Black Jacket club.
5. Robyn Almodovar- Robyn had a good dish that got her here. But there’s no way Robyn is one of the four strongest chefs of the season. I think getting a black jacket was Robyn’s real reward, and I expect her to be the one heading out this upcoming episode.
4. Milly Medley- Milly was someone I had some doubts about, but his passion is through the roof. He really does wear his heart on his sleeve and it’s super admirable. But in order to get to the finals, he’s really going to have to push hard and work harder than he ever has before. The previews show some worry, but how many times are the previews ACTUALLY 100% accurate? I think Milly still isn’t entirely safe, but he’s not going home yet.
3. Michelle Tribble- Michelle is the youngest one here, and continues to impress Ramsay. I still don’t think she’s ready to win and lead a kitchen, but I do think her drive and passion is enough to take her another round forward.
2. Benjamin Knack- I think Benjamin is much improved from his first showing. Black jackets is really where he fell apart in his original season, but it seems like he’s had a major change in professionalism. He doesn’t scream “winner” to me, so I’m keeping him at the 2 spot for now.
1. Nick Peters Bond- Nick has topped our rankings plenty and plenty of times over the past weeks, and he’s here again. He sailed into the top 5 with no worries or hesitation. He is definitely the most improved of the bunch, and I think he is also somehow one of the most underestimated at the same time. He can lead, and with the competition in individual stage, it’ll be nice to see him show that leadership.
While Milly got the first jacket, I think he could still be in some danger. Michelle’s age may also come back to bite her. But Robyn has consistently been the weakest blue team member, and now that there are only 5 people left, there’s little room to hide.
Might come down to Nick and Milly. I will probably get a better idea when they all have to run the line. I cant see Benjamin or Michelle run a line due to them not being super vocal.
