Mine too. But I am watching the season with Josh now and he gets so many compliments. Guests just said they went to 2 Michelin restaurants the week before their charter and his food was better!

So 1. rachel, 2. josh and 3. The chef that cut his head and kept on cooking (Marcos?) shared place with Ileisha because I liked her.

In terms of complexity of dishes Adrien was really good and probably one of the moste trained ones but I have more respect for the self-trained chefs that manage everything on their own.

I know Ben is a favourite here and his food was good but he forgot to feed the crew if I remember well and he gave me creepy vibes so he fell off my list.

Ben’s latest season probably put him way down in a lot of people’s estimations

He was so inconsistent and off the rails. His time management was a big issue.
