Line 94:
* '''As a Result:''' The trio's eggs are disqualified, costing the red team the challenge.
* '''Furthermore:''' Autumn continues to cement herself as [[The Friend Nobody Likes|a pain in everyone's ass]] in service later that episode by over seasoning pasta water.
Also in Episode 2, Andrew gives Gordon a portion of mashed potato so runny that Sous Chef Scott likened it to "potato soup".
*'''You'd think:''' Andrew, on garnish, would simply continue preparing a fresh batch that he had already started.
*'''Instead:''' He decides to take the liquid mash to his new batch.
*'''For Added Stupidity:''' He tries to be a smartass about it by claiming that this was the smart thing to do.
*'''As a Result:''' Chef Ramsay takes Andrew into the dining room, and gives him a blistering [[Reason Why You Suck Speech]]. Andrew then literally kick off his shoes and leave the competition, not wanting to put up with being reprimanded.
In Episode 5, there is a challenge that involves cooking a pork dish with the team's chosen side. The red team gets blood sausage, sweet potato, apples, ham hock, and prunes. Pairing the pork tenderloin and apples is a no-brainer, but the team is unsure what to make with the other ingredients they have.
* '''You'd think:''' The sweet potato would work well with the blood sausage since the former takes the savoury edge off the latter, and mixing the prunes and ham hock into a salad since the two ingredients have similar natural sweetness. Any dishes with those two combinations of ingredients would be the red team's go-to for a challenge of this nature.
* '''Instead:''' Scott gets the "oh so brilliant" idea to do a prune purée to go with the blood sausage, and to go with a sweet potato soup with ham hock garnish.
Line 102 ⟶ 105:
* '''To add insult to injury:''' Scott's sweet potato soup with ham hock garnish broke the rules of the challenge; the ham hock was supposed to be the main ingredient, while the sweet potato was to be the garnish, not the other way round.
* '''As a Result:''' The red team lost the challenge, to no one's surprise.
In that same episode, the red team had lost the service, with Fran named Best of the Worst. This means she is responsible for naming two chefs from her team to be eliminated. She has three possible names to pick from: Siobhan, Scott, and Maria, since all three did badly enough that night to warrant a nomination. Before the chefs head down to the dining room for the elimination ceremony however, Scott tries to browbeat Fran into nominating someone over him, fearing that Gordon would get rid of both him and Maria if they're nominated, leaving the red team two members short.
* '''You'd think:''' Fran would simply tell Scott to fuck
* '''Alternatively:''' A double elimination is still a possibility though, and if Fran is worried that about it, she could nominate Siobhan instead of Scott. As mentioned previously, Siobhan can be justifiably nominated due to the myriad of mistakes she made that night, but not enough to were Gordon would eliminate her over Maria. This would show that Fran is thinking sensibly since Gordon literally wants the weakest chefs to be nominated.▼
▲* '''You'd think:''' Fran would simply tell Scott to fuck himself since it's blatantly obvious he's only trying to save his own ass, and that she would bear in mind that Gordon has never eliminated two chefs in the same night before (this wouldn't happen outside of the "running the pass" service until Season 11).
* '''Or better yet:''' Fran should take into consideration that Gordon can (and will) disregard nominations and eliminate whoever he feels deserves it, even if that chef is on the winning team (which he would actually do 2 episodes later). Fran can't claim [[Genre Blindness]] this time though, because a few episodes back, Gordon chose to eliminate Mikey despite his name not even being mentioned all night. You'd think Fran would remember this and consider that possibility, meaning that Scott's safety is not guaranteed.▼

* '''Instead:''' Fran nominates Maria...and Nilka for some reason, because Nilka had been the red team's best performer thus far, and there was no reason to nominate her. Fran comes off as a gullible idiot because of this, and Gordon rejects her nominations and calls Scott and Maria up anyway

Fran comes off as a gullible idiot because of this, Gordon rejects her nominations and calls Scott and Maria up anyway, Maria is shown the door, Nilka is alienated by Fran, and the red team's morale is completely shattered, leading to yet another embarrassing defeat the next episode.
In the second black jacket service, there was a point where Chef Ramsay steps out of the kitchen for a few minutes, leaving Sous Chef Scott in charge.
▲* '''As a Result:''' Scott is eliminated the next episode after Gordon could no longer take his constant bragging, and his inability to back up his talk with skill.
* '''You'd think:''' all of the remaining chefs would just keep working, and try not to do anything stupid in Scott's presence.
* '''Instead:''' Benjamin [[Too Dumb to Live|gets the smart idea to try and play leader in Gordon's absence]] by calling out the next ticket.
* '''As a Result:''' Scott promptly calls him out for trying to usurp control of the kitchen, and not only threatens to leave right then and there, but proceeds to scream at Ben in such a manner reminiscent of Ramsay's confrontation with Giovanni after the "dickface" incident.
