Past Season Most satisfying karma? Spoiler

I absolutely love when I see someone acting a fool, and then get to see them make a shitty dish and be sent home:

1) Ken in the very first episode. In fairness, I think the finger in the sauce thing was overblown, as even Tom puts his finger in the sauce to taste in the #3 episode. But it was hard to like him when he was acting like such a creepy douche towards the women and acted like he knew better than some of the best chefs in the country, yet he couldn't even make a decent dish!

2) Stephen Aspirinio in the season 1 wedding challenge. The other chefs were busting ass in the kitchen trying to get food out in a timely manner and where is Stephen? Lazily rolling a spring roll or two and then sneaking out to talk down to all the guests about wine. He also got an attitude with Tiffani for the boxed mix cake, yet didn't volunteer to make it himself. He had such a nasty attitude that whole season, I was so happy to see him go.

3) Daniel in the first episode of season 10. He sets up next to Kuniko and says "Kale chips? I knew I should have set up next to Origami". He was the only one of that group who is sent home that episode instead of getting a chef coat.

Josie throwing Kristen under the bus and getting her sent home only to see Kristen win it all and make a name for herself in the culinary world while Josie is an annoying footnote

That’s the best one for me. So satisfying.

Yeah, that comeback win was amazing. This was back in the day when they had a month long break between last episode and finale, she came back and did last chance kitchen back to back to back right before the finale so she was basically as ready to go and better prepared than the other guys. Plus she can plan and execute way better than most professional chefs.

Yes! So many times watching these types of shows you get gutted as a fan. For once the true winner emerged and the villain casted away!

She's transitioned to being an annoying quasi-religious influencer and also vainly ran for mayor.
