* EveryoneHasStandards: After Manda delivered a TheReasonYouSuchSpeech to Josh after condescending to her, Elise would repeat Manda's words in a high-pitched voice...before saying that she had her back and admitting she wouldn't put up with it either.

* TookALevelInKindness: While kindness is a massive stretch. For one episode at least, she seemed to be pretty much on the same page as everyone else after [[HatedByAll Josh]] was transferred to their team, and even during that one episode, she didn't really instigate anything.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She delivered a pretty epic one to Josh after he started to seriously piss her off with his condescending attitude.

* DeadpanSnarker: He only delves into this when the Red Team start to insult him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While she was the same old jerk back in Season 9, she had more than a good points about how [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Josh]] was easily their weakest chef, and most of the time, Josh was the one instigating the arguments while Elise wasn't even addressing him.
** The best example of this was when the Red Team were calling out Josh for putting cold coals on a hot fire (causing the fire to be smothered and contribute to their loss), and after Elise says that cold coals wouldn't help the fire, Josh's immediate response is to call her a bully even though she didn't say anything rude to him.



* HatedByAll: By the end of his run, everyone was tired of his mistakes and attitude that no one missed him when he got eliminated mid-service. Humorously, Michelle demanded he get out when he tried to come back after he got kicked out of service.

* HatedByAll: Somehow, he managed to overthrow ''Elise'' in terms of being the most hated chef on both teams. By the end of his run, everyone was tired of his mistakes and attitude that no one missed him when he got eliminated mid-service. Humorously, Michelle demanded he get out when he tried to come back after he got kicked out of service.

* Hypocrite: In season 14, after the incident with Randy's plates (that some believe Milly sabotaged), Milly makes a statement in confessionals that that's who Randy really is, because that's how he acts when faced with adversity. Come Season 17, when Milly truly faces adversity in the competition, he shows a bad attitude while trying to deflect that everyone is upset with him over something that has nothing to do with cooking.

* TookALevelInKindness: It's clear that while Van was still as loud as ever, he had far more of a level head this time around. The only arguments he really got into were with [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Josh]], and everyone else he was relatively cordial with.

The only arguments he really got into were with [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Josh]], and everyone else he was relatively cordial with. Even most of his jokes about others are light hearted ribbing, and they all are shown reacting positively.



* BadassDecay: Personal opinions about the chefs from Season 15 aside, making it to black jackets and 4th place on top of that is an impressive feat. In this season, however, Jared seemed to have lost a lot of his skills. He was passable at best in service, seemed to have lost his voice in the kitchen even when it wasn't hoarse, and did abysmal to passable in challenges. One particular example is when he presented a dish in a challenge, saying in the confession cam he was super proud of it and it came out perfect... and then Gordon game him a 1. This is all ignoring his infamous lying about a cut to get out of service idea that backfired on him spectacularly.

** An odd and definitely unintentional example, but in Season 15 his mom came in to do a challenge where he coaches her to cook a dish while he's restrained. His mother accidentally cuts herself a little bit a few times, with Jared saying he doesn't care and she DOES go see the medic. Then Jared in this season says he got cut to get out of his crashing and burning, sees the medic... and the medic can't find anything.

->Giovanni's Elimination Comment - "Chef made a decision, that's final. I mean, maybe at my age and my experience, I should've done a better job, but I'm holding my head up high and I'mma go home, and I get hugged by two beautiful kids. None to be ashamed of.

* HumiliationConga: The Black Jackets Challenge was a big one for Elise. Round 1: she failed to all but the fish protein correctly in the Taste It Now Make It Challenge, and struggled to describe her dish to Ramsay. Round 2: her lobster dish contained the shit sack still attached, leading Ramsay to refuse to even taste it after pointing it out. Round 3: her filet mignon was not the medium rare temperature she wanted and the potatoes tasted off due to her decision to blend them in the Vitamix. End result: she gets eliminated over Jennifer (her sworn enemy) and Robyn (one of the inconsistent chefs of the season).



* NeverMyFault: Pretty much her default mood like in Season 9. Poor performance on the meat station opening night? Nope, all Robyn's fault. Almost all of her sea bass got burned? Her team sabotaged her. A poor performance of a black jacket that got her eliminated? Having an off day.

* NeverMyFault: Pretty much her default mood like in Season 9. Poor performance on the meat station opening night? Nope, all Robyn's fault. Made a lackluster fish dish due to having few ingredients based on her pickiness? She deemed it a disadvantage. Almost all of her sea bass got burned? burned during the Charity Night Service? Her team sabotaged her. A poor performance of a black jacket that got her eliminated? Having an off day.



* DudeWhereIsMyRespect: Had this belief that the red team kept nominating her out of spite, even though her attitude was growing sour near the end, and there were legitimate reasons why the red team nominated her. In the final service however, Benjamin treated her more as an equal, and she even said that he gave her more respect than what she got from the red team all season.

In the final service however, Benjamin treated her more as an equal, and she even said that he gave her more respect than what she got from the red team all season.



* TookALevelInJerkass: A mild example, and for the most part it's only been directed at Robyn, who she already disliked, but she's ''way'' snappier this time around. But then came Episode 9 where she deliberately dumped her punishment on the floor and argued loudly with Elise. It continued in the next episode with her aggressive leadership on her meat entree round had her yelling at Michelle for the garnishes, but it soon became LaserGuidedKarma for her as Ramsay eliminated her because of that.

* ButtMonkey: In a strange case, Elise had way more bad things happen to her in this season than Season 9. A lot of her efforts were never appreciated (although it's mainly because her attitude was awful), she was treated as an outcast (again, for her attitude), and even her attempts at trying to out argue her fellow competitors usually end in a standstill, or even worse, she argues with [[DeadpanSnarker Nick]], who very easily throws her insults back in her face and makes her look stupid. That's not even to mention her awful performance that resulted in her elimination.


Added DiffLines:

* InsultBackfire: At one point during the season, Elise would start saying "boop" to prove a point she has and to silence anyone else. It didn't take long for people to start using it against her. Of course, special mention goes to whenever [[DeadpanSnarker Nick]] does it, with this moment being his most notable.
-->'''Nick:''' Bye! Check the scoreboard, girls’ team is losing, bye Felicia!
-->'''Elise:''' Yeah, girls’ team is losing but my scores aren’t!!
-->'''Nick:''' Oh yeah, well, guess what, you're still on their team, honey! BOOP BOOP BOOP BOOP!

Season 17 Elimination/Runner-Up/Winner quotes from each contestant.

Added DiffLines:

->Michelle's Winner Comment - "I can't even comprehend how happy I am right now. I'm the winner of Hell's Kitchen All-Stars! Like, oh my god. This moment is everything that I've been working for in my life. Chef Ramsay, thank you so much for believing in me, and pushing me as hard as you could, because you knew that I could deal with it, you had confidence in me, and really goes to show that if you work your ass off, you can really accomplish anything you want to. Ever since I could remember, I wanted to be a chef, and I've just been working my ass off for this for so long. All of that hard work has finally paid off, because oh my god, I'm the winner! That's crazy!"


Added DiffLines:

->Benjamin's Runner-Up Comment - "Its not fun losing, but in the end, the winning's not the most important thing, its fighting as hard as you can, staying clear-minded and being positive. You know, you learn from your mistakes, but you've- you regret them, you'll never be able to fight, you'll never believe in yourself, you'll never believe in the people around you, so I have no regrets."


Added DiffLines:

->Nick's Elimination Comment - "It sucks that it came down to basically one dish, even though you put so much effort into your food, you obviously think that some of your dishes, if not all of them were better than most of their dishes. Just knowing you lost and you disappointed your sous-chef and your chef, no one wants to have that feeling."


Added DiffLines:

->Milly's Elimination Comment - "This been the greatest experience of my life. I fought my heart out against Hell's Kitchen All-Stars, my confidence level was through the roof! I done did so many first time things, I went to Vegas for the first time, I ate caviar by a lake, I rode a horse, I got to teach Ricky Williams how to make a dish! I got the first All-Star black jacket of all time! Chef Ramsay, I only got one thing to say to you: I love you. I love you! You've been the best mentor, you've been the best person, like the best- like a father figure, like... to me, and I just love you! Period, point blank. I mean, nothing in between. I love you, and I appreciate you!"

->Robyn's Elimination Comment - "I did not think this is how it was gonna end for me, but do you know what? I have absolutely no regrets leaving Hell's Kitchen tonight. I gave it my all. I was rocky when I started, but no matter what, atleast I know I put my heart in the plate, atleast I know I went down fighting. I know I'm a strong personality, but in that kitchen, you should always have fun. Its not the end of me, me and my pet rock, Herbie, we're gonna be just fine!"


Added DiffLines:

->Jennifer's Elimination Comment - "I did not expect myself to be going home right now, I wish I had did a little bit more to make it to that black jacket, but you know what, I definitely think Robyn deserves black jacket. She beat me out today fair and square, and... I still beat Elise!"

->Elise's Elimination Comment - "I'm absolutely better than those three dishes I put up today, and I'm definitely embarrassed by my performance. Mentally I was cooked, and I should've gotten that black jacket, but I guess you could say I- the pressure got to me a bit today."


Added DiffLines:

->Dana's Elimination Comment - "I mean, let's face it, the red team's a disaster. Elise should be standing here. Elise wants to say she's not a bully, but I think she uses that façade to push people around, when really she's insecure about herself. I came into this kitchen everyday, and gave it my all, so...
