** First, Julia (short-order cook) vs Tiffany (kitchen manager). At first, it seems as if Tiffany is the more competent member (her signature dish was praised by Ramsay, whereas Julia's had too much pepper), but Tiffany's failure with the quail eggs and her lambasting Julia to get everyone to pity her shows that she only cares for herself in a sense. However, Tiffany's job is a kitchen manager who are mostly known for making sure a kitchen in a restaurant is up and running, where Julia is actually the cook who works in the kitchen. Last, Ramsay's reasons for eliminating Tiffany was because the only thing she brought out of "attention to detail, passion and hard work" was the work ethic. Julia had not only the hard work but also the passion, which comes from her desire to show the world that she can cook.

** Next, Jen (pastry chef, age 26) vs Joanna (assistant chef, 22). Joanna stated during the signature dish challenge that she would do anything to get on Ramsay's good side (with Ramsay not giving a crap about that). Jen is more of a NiceGirl who would work hard. Moreover, on the night they were up for elimination Jen honestly takes the blame for accidentally throwing away the pasta and then washing it upon realizing her mistake, while Joanna served rancid crab yet didn't realize the gravity of her mistakes. Not to mention that Joanna also was a complete jerk to Julia above, siding with Tiffany because "It would make her [Julia] look bad". Jen was given praise for her skills when she was eliminated, but Joanna was commented on how she gave up and screwed over her team. Last, Joanna's the third contestant eliminated--Jen got third place.
** Last Bonnie (personal chef, age 26) vs Melissa (line chef, age 29). Like Tiffany above, Melissa was praised for her signature dish while Bonnie wasn't. Melissa was shown to be a good leader in regards to calling out Tiffany's behavior while Bonnie was shown struggling. By the halfway point, it became the exact opposite. Bonnie began to become a better chef while Melissa went through a MadnessMakeover and LeaderWannabe phase, having similar attitude problems that were noted in Tiffany and Joanna. In the lobster challenge, Bonnie and Melissa were head to head and Bonnie snagged the victory with her creative dish. Ramsay even notes how Melissa went from a great chef to one so horrible, where Bonnie ended up as runner-up that season.

** TV shows tend to have more of a bleep o bleeping meter, especially when they are network shows aired before the watershed. Plus, with Ramsay dropping ClusterFBombs, combined with the sheer ''variety'' of profanity that he brings to the table, it can be difficult for adult viewers to decipher what he says, let alone for kids to translate it.

** In Season 1, there's a more subtle example: the opening is simply multiple portraits of each contestant flashing by, as Chef Ramsay shakes his head and frowns at each one...except when the portrait of the person who eventually becomes the ''winner'' flashes by. That picture gets a smile from Ramsay instead. If you pay close attention to the expressions on Ramsay's face in the Season 1 opening, you can figure out which contestant ultimately will get the prize.

* FridgeBrilliance: Chef Ramsay reserves the elimination decisions to himself. However, he asks for nominees so he can check the judgment and critical thinking skills of the losing team's members.
* FridgeLogic: In the Season 2 final, Virginia decided to choose the third-placed chef, Keith, and make up the rest of her team from who she considered to be the worst cooks from that season. Her logic [[InsaneTrollLogic (if you can call it that)]] was that if she managed to win with such a crappy team, [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime it'd make her look all the more awesome.]] For whatever reason it never seemed to cross her mind that, logically, by choosing all the worst cooks she was also [[EpicFail giving her rival, Heather,]] [[WhatanIdiot all the]] [[TooDumbtoLive ''best'' cooks]] from that season.
