Picked Last: Surprisingly, she was Michael's last pick for the final service.She handled this all with grace and maturity. Doesn't stop her from getting fourth place overall, win a challenge on her own and become such a threat that Michael tried to eliminate her and Chris early on in the show. Lady of War: She's 40 years old, a Mother of Six, and doesn't look like she could fit in the world of fine dining.( while the camera notes the very guilty looks on their faces.) Even though she knew that they ignored her, she stated that she did have said support. Ramsay even gave her a second chance to chew them out and asked if she had the support of everyone else. Honor Before Reason: The three contestants above her deliberately sabotaged her efforts to win during the same episode of the leftover challenge at dinner service.Girls With Mustaches: Just a little shadow, but it was there.Then again, you really couldn't blame her that she snagged a victory under her competitions' noses. Genre Blind: She stated her victory of the leftover challenge on live TV, not knowing that her competition probably wasn't going to like her gloating.She's the only female contestant in her age range to make it this far and is well liked by the fans because of it. To put this in perspective the second eldest female was Carolann at 33 and the oldest male was Ralph at 36. Cool Old Lady: Both the oldest female and oldest contestant in that season at age 40.
Control Freak: When both teams had to create their own menus, Ralph took full control of the blue teams menu, ignoring Jessica and Andrew's suggestions.JP told Ralph he'd punch him if he kept it up. Accidental Misnaming: Kept calling Jean-Philippe "Jean-Pierre" in the final.Late in the season, he was still awake at 4 am when Ramsay asked him to wake up the other contestants. Despite this, he never seemed any more fatigued than the rest of the kitchen. The Sleepless: Was often awake well into the night, and routinely gave himself a pep talk after most of his competition had already gone to bed.To date, no other chef has reached that milestone.
Flawless Victory: Not only did he win the season, he was on the winning team in all but one service, and was named the Best of the Worst on the only service in which he was part of the losing team.He eventually managed to get clean and got remarried, but he's still having trouble finding a job. Downer Ending: Several years after winning Hell's Kitchen, his daughter died, his wife divorced him, and he got addicted to drugs.Cloud Cuckoolander: Had a tendency to talk to himself hell, he may have talked more to himself than with anybody else.But of all the winners in Hell's Kitchen, he was the most cutthroat of them all, not afraid to sabotage others or nominate strong competitors for elimination ( back when Chef Ramsay was unable to override nominations). Beware the Quiet Ones: Was quite soft-spoken.Best shown when he was moved to the red team in Episode 3 and helped them win services. The Ace: Outside of a few instances in the beginning, he was one of the most consistent chefs this season.
