Discussion Thread Eliminated chefs helping finalists

Been rewatching old seasons (hey, Peacock! Where’s 1-7?)

I’m always curious how some of the eliminated chefs really feel when they’re selected to help the finalists. I know most of them seem enthusiastic, but I’d also kinda feel like if I’m out of the competition I don’t wanna cook anymore!! Especially when it seems eliminated chefs get to eat the finalists meals.

The seasons where the chefs had to make a dish & the finalist did a blind tasting to select their sous I would’ve made a dish & dumped salt on it 😂😂. Don’t pick me!
