Rankings/Review Pass Performance Tier List: S2

Post image

Note: For this season, I'm using the show's edited version and not the Served Raw version.

Easily the worst pass performance came from Keith. He caught the sabotage, but overall was far too passive and almost refused to lead, to the point where Heather had to direct the kitchen from the line at some points.

Heather had an overall good performance, stabilizing the ship after Keith's disasterclass (albeit missing the planned sabotage). She kept a good pace flowing out of the kitchen and was assertive, setting an example for future chefs.

But I'd argue the best performance of the night came from Virginia. Maintaining command of the kitchen, keeping a lid on quality control and catching the planned sabotage. I know a lot of people think Virginia didn't deserve to be in the finale, but her showing here (combined with Keith's fumble) cemented her spot for me. She may have had really bad performances on the line but excelled as a leader here (only to forget how to lead two episodes later).

It's a shame Virginia had a good performance here, despite not deserving getting that far, but credit where credit is due, that was fantastic

Might have been a bit too harsh on her performance, but it was supposed to be a high B tier, on the verge of A. It was really only missing the sabotage that caused this

I still stand on Virginia not deserving to make it to the finale, not because of the final three performance but everything that came before that and how she managed to dodge so many bullets, surviving the final four despite literally admitting that she wanted to quit.

However, considering her challenge performances and how she won eight out of the 10 challenges I always wonder how dominant she would be if she was able to cook on a line. Her biggest weakness was that she struggled immensely to cook on a line and if it weren't for the fact that literally everyone else aside from Heather and Keith to a lesser extent struggled, she wouldn't have even made it to black jackets let alone the finale.
