* FatalFlaw: Lacey's biggest flaw was without a doubt her quitter attitude. It's shown that when she really put her mind to it, she can be a legitimately solid chef and even a good leader. The issue was however that at the first sign of trouble, she would completely shut down and try to quit, and this ultimately alienated her from being liked by her team.

* ArchEnemy: While he had his disagreements with chefs like Louross and Jason, he had a particularly antagonistic relationship with Matt that wound up being one of the most defining aspects of his run. Ben, much like the others, disliked Matt for his strange and poor attitude and being generally weak in service, while Matt disliked Ben for not being strong himself and hiding behind the stronger Bobby and Petrozza.



* TheRival: To Matt.

to:

* OnlySaneMan: Initially seemed to be one of the saner chefs early on, trying to prevent infighting within in the team. It quickly stopped however once he tried to shirk responsibility for his shortcomings.
* TheRival: To Matt.Louross as he believed he was weak, and, for a brief moment, Jason, as Jason didn't like the way he ran his mouth.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It's quite telling that in a team that had [[HeManWomanHater Jason]] in it, that Matt was probably the most disliked chef on the blue team. He constantly whined and complained when people didn't listen to him (for justifiable reasons), he was never very useful during service, and he was extremely immature.

* TheAce: While Petrozza wasn't a perfect chef, he was far and away the strongest chef on the blue team, and even his weaker services were never really nomination worthy.



* TheBigGuy: Easily the tallest chef of the season.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Outside of his first and last service, Bobby was easily one of the strongest links in the kitchen, with Gordon even once awarding him with the Best of the Worst distinction due to him feeling safe whenever Bobby was in the kitchen. Challenge wise however, Bobby usually performed pretty poorly in those.



* FourStarBadass: He was previously in the armed forces, and outside of a few early struggles, he was one of the strongest chefs on the blue team.
* GentleGiant: He's the tallest chef of the season, but he's really quite friendly save for a bit of arrogance. He even lampshaded this in his elimination comment.
* GracefulLoser: He took his elimination very well, saying that he came in with his joy, and he was leaving with it too.



* GracefulLoser: For all his whining and complaining, he actually did take his elimination quite well, saying that he was happy he got to work with Chef Ramsay.

* CripplingOverspecialization: When it came to challenges, Coi was able to stand out there quite a bit, from her signature dish that garnered her praise, to her bar mitzvah dish that gained the only point on the red team. Service wise however, she tended to either not really stand out too much, or be one of the weaker chefs in service.


Added DiffLines:

* WeakButSkilled: Based on her strong signature dish, Coi definitely had some talent in the kitchen. Unfortunately, much of her talent didn't really transfer over to the line.

* TheLoad: Despite making it to the top seven and getting incredibly close to the black jackets, Carol was a pretty mediocre performer. She barely avoided nomination early on due to Lacey ditching the team during punishment, and even on services she didn't do bad in, she tended to fade into the background.
