** Many fans of the show accused Fox of this during the 2011 season, when ManipulativeBastard Elise managed to stay until the final three despite pulling all sorts of stunts, up to and including outright lying to Ramsay on two different occasions.
** The show has a nasty history of keeping the worst chefs or the chefs with zero teamwork skills for as long as possible as if the executives aren't bothering to hide it anymore or are possibly hinting at the chefs to act in a certain way. Chefs that horribly suck at cooking can last several episodes but chefs that can't work with anyone and resort to cliched reality TV tactics, but are skilled in their cooking will usually last a lot longer, like with Elise.
** The show always seems to have people who only have basic cooking skills outshining their veteran peers (one famous example is a waffle house cook that shined so brightly that when she was eliminated, Ramsay personally offered to send her to a culinary school on his behalf) and people that should do well all the time because they are an executive chef or specialize in certain foods but always fail in their field when it comes to put those skills to the test. It could be possible that the executives nudge the chefs into certain acts, even if it goes against their skills, for the sake of drama and higher ratings.
** This trope was the reason surrounding Season 6's Jim's elimination. The reason why he "showed no passion" during his last dinner service was because he found out the producers wanted him to start a feud with Robert. The producers also apparently tried to get him to say things in confessionals that he wasn't comfortable saying. Tek Moore (who also competed in Season 6 and, believe it-or-not, ended up in a relationship with Jim) has echoed similar sentiments saying that the producers would come and swap out ingredients such as salt for sugar.

** Around late 2018, some viewers noticed a thirteenth chef in early episodes of Season 3. Codenamed [=JR=] ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused with the [=JR=] from Season 13]]), he was only seen in the Signature Dish Challenge, and his name was on a portrait in Episode 3, leaving people wondering what happened to him. It was eventually found out that he was ''kicked off'' the show: fellow contestant Joanna confided in him about her leaving a toxic relationship, and how her mentor pointed her to this show. Instead, JR [[{{Jerkass}} twisted this and spread rumours that she had an affair with her boss.]] The producers found out about it(and there were also rumors that he was posting spoilers about the show online) [[UnPerson and attempted to remove him completely from the final season]].
