YMMV / Kitchen Nightmares S4 E9 "Tavolini"

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Van, and to a lesser extent, Joli. Unlike their completely incompetent parents, they held a good head on their shoulders in trying to run the restaurant on their own, being completely honest to Ramsay about their problems, as well as very receptive to his help. Just go to any comment section about the episode, and most viewers will shower Van with their admiration, saying he should've been the owner of the restaurant in the first place. Also, kitchen manager Michael, for humbly accepting Ramsay's criticism instead of being in denial about its quality, as well as successfully taking over the service by himself the first night when the owners had a mental breakdown amidst of it. Really, everyone in the staff except for the owners are ensemble darkhorses.
