History Awesome / HellsKitchen

* Another from season 6, when there are only six contestants remaining, the dinner service started off so badly that, for the first time ever, Gordon and sous chef Scott walked out of the kitchen. Immediately, Tennille and Kevin took charge of the kitchen themselves, managing to rally up despite the mistakes of others and Suzanne's unwillingness to send food out. Cue Ramsay returning and kicking out those who were doing badly, and Tennille, Kevin and Dave finished the service themselves with no more mishaps.
** If I remember correctly, Dave was working three stations on his own at one point. With a ''fractured wrist''.

* Your mileage will vary, but in Season 9, Tommy got kicked out of the kitchen along with Jennifer (who was assisting him on appetizers) and Elise (who consistently messed up on fish). After calling back the team to chew them out and send them to the dorms, Tommy stayed behind to ask Ramsay why he got sent out, since Jennifer was the one making almost all the mistakes on the station, such as miscommunicating and taking his dishes up before they were ready. Chef Ramsay took it [[UnstoppableRage about as well]] [[BerserkButton as he takes any chef disputing his decisions]], and ended up informing Tommy that he would "stick his head in the oven and talk to him through the gas burner!" Tommy's response? "[[BringIt Do it]]!"

** It happened again in Season 10, when Tiffany had screwed the red team over by undercooking one of their key dishes. Andi told off Tiffany and repeatedly told her that "You don't care." Tiffany responded to this by mouthing off at Andi, presumably thinking there would be no repercussions since she wasn't Ramsay -- only for Andi to tell Tiffany to "take a walk" and get out of the kitchen. This is the first time a Sous chef has sent a contestant out of the kitchen; not even Scott has done that in the ten seasons he's been on the show.

* In the finale of Season 10, [[spoiler:Christina had both Robyn and Kimmie on her team, who had both caused many problems throughout the season and proved difficult to work with, and under her leadership, neither one of them made ANY mistakes for the entire service, and she managed to pull out a win.]]

* In episode 15 of season 10, during dinner service, the red team cruises into a very easy win with a smooth and almost flawless dinner service, but the MoA and MVP goes to Barbie. For starters, she is the only chef in both kitchens who doesn't commit a single mistake throughout the dinner service. But the blue team's constant mistakes and horrible communication were sinking them fast, especially Brian's terrible performance on the meat station. What does Ramsay do? He calls over Barbie and asks her to take over the blue team's meat station, where she churns out perfectly cooked meat after perfectly cooked meat. Not only was she the best performer in her team that night, she single-handedly pulled the blue team out of the disaster zone and drove them into properly finishing dinner service.

** It happened again in Season 10, when Andi told off Tiffany and repeatedly told her that "You don't care" and then told Tiffany to "take a walk". This is the first time a Sous chef has sent a contestant out of the kitchen.

* Robyn of season 10 had a minor one in the first episode - cooking her signature dish perfectly and then, while the other women were making crude sexual jokes ("How do you know when a scallop's cooked perfectly? [[spoiler:When you touch it and it feels like a cock!]]") she got up and studied in the living room, and was one of the only well-prepared women on the team.

** She gets another one in a later episode when she stops being a {{jerkass}} and tries to mediate her team's disputes instead of antagonizing them.

* Who were the two final contestants in Season 6? [[spoiler:Dave and Kevin, both of whom were injured (fractured wrist and two sprained ankles, respectively). Dave won.]]
** [[spoiler:Dave]] also had a Crowning Moment an episode before. Each contestant had to cook a dish of a certain style (Mexican, Indian, and one other) for master chefs of that style. He got Indian, which he had admittedly never cooked before[[hottip:*: His protein was pork, which is basically a no-no in many areas of India.]]. [[spoiler: He won the challenge.]]

* In an early episode of season 7, the entire red team was pulled from service. Gordon and sous chefs Scott and Andi cooked everything by themselves and finished the service.

* Rarely happens, but moments that show a customer going up to Ramsay and complaining while he's trying to work the kitchens and/or being a real douche about their complaints or being really rude to Ramsay, Ramsay will tell them off.

* This troper has one that may be small, but it still made him smile. In Season 4 we had Jen, THE prototypical RealityShow cutthroat bitch. Near the end of the season, she remarks that the previous service practically gave her a heart attack. We immediately cut to a ConfessionCam with Petrozza, the man Gordon praised for being selfless and polite, who says (paraphrased from memory) "You cold bitch. You spent this whole competition being a conniving, selfish bitch, and '''now''' you start claiming to have a heart?"
** Episode 12 can clarify that:

* Jennifer from Season 9 losing her shit with [[EliminationHoudini Elise]], who has been blaming her own problems during service on the rest of the team for 8 weeks now. Watching nice, even-tempered Jennifer finally ream out the Queen Bitch (and actually getting her to shut up!) was pretty cathartic. The following is from the 11th episode.

** [[spoiler:Dave]] also had a Crowning Moment an episode before. Each contestant had to cook a dish of a certain style (Mexican, Indian, and one other) for master chefs of that style. He got Indian, which he had admittedly never cooked before. [[spoiler: He won the challenge.]]

--> '''Petrozza:''' You could bitch, you finally feel like you have a heart? Why, because you know there's a good chance that your ass is going on the chopping block, that's why you feel like you have a heart? Or are you just full of shit?

* Probably a small one, but in Season 9, Sous Chef Andi had enough of Elise's bickering and lack of respect once, and told her she needed "to show some fucking respect." This is the ''first'' time Andi finally had to tell off a contestant.
