Danielle "Dani" Peters

* First

**Danielle "Dani" Peters** was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Season 29, she finished in 13th place

Though Dani is a decent chef, her ego is practically big enough to have it's own orbit and she rubbed the other women the wrong way from the word go,

## Personality

Dani is an egotistical jerk with a very high opinion of herself.

### Episode 1

Dani was up fifth in the signature dish challenge and her ego rubbed the women the wrong way within seconds, the fact that her Rack of Lamb dish scored a 2/5 not helping matters.

The Red Team went onto win the Signature Dish challenge and during the ride to Hell's Kitchen Freya wondered if Dani would be missed if she "accidentally" fell out of the moving limo before making it clear that she was joking.

### Episode 2

Dani's fries weren't selected for the challenge despite her insisting that her fries were the best, Freya and Andreas went on to win the challenge, much to her annoyance as she couldn't stand their "stupid accents"

Dani was on desert that night and wasn't seen much, the Red Team went on to lose the first service ending in Kylie's elimination.

### Episode 3

Dani wasn't seen much during the lobster salad relay or the punishment.

She was directly as fault for the Red Team's service falling apart that night as she and Rebecca's bickering caused no food to be sent out, they were lucky that CJ proved to be even worse that night.

### Episode 4

Dani was confident in her ability to make pizza but hers turned out to be raw on the bottom, awarding Mark his first challenge win of the season in the process.

Whilst Jenna had no patience for Dani's crap, the red team still had a terrible service and all got kicked out thanks to Rebecca's butchering of the salmon, all three women were up for elimination that night but Ritchie was worse than all of them and got eliminated instead.

### Episode 5

Dani faced Leo in the final round and promised that she'd beat the womanizer, she would eat those words when her quesadilla had too sweet a sauce, awarding the Blue Team the challenge.

Dani was on apps with Henry that night but this time around she was less at fault for the Red Team's failures as Rebecca on meat and Jayne on fish turned in horrible performances, after Rebecca got eliminated mid-service and Jayne got eliminated despite not being nominated Dani felt that it was time she turned things around.

### Episode 6

Dani faced Freya in the final round of the wedding reception challenge but her raw fillets were easily trounced by her former teammates efforts, she planned to sabotage Freya's steak dish but Christina caught her in the fact and made it clear that wasn't going to fly.

Dani was on garnish that night and the Red Team won their first service, sending Dani's former teammate Jenna home at the end of the night.

### Episode 7

Dani's one and only good challenge dish happened in this episode as her Chicken Breast dish was deemed to be perfectly cooked, Eddie went on to win the challenge for the Red Team that night.

Dani found herself on the chopping block again after getting kicked out for her risotto, however this wasn't nearly as bad as Eddie's mistakes on the meat station and, despite the Red Team's pleas, Ramsey saved Dani for another day.

### Episode 8

The Red Team were clearly sick of Dani's crap at this point and even new team member Andreas found her grating, during the Pork Chop challenge she drew Ramsey's ire by trying to say that her clearly burned pork chop was charred.

The Red Team went on to lose the challenge but Andreas opted to use his punishment pass to avoid putting up with Dani for most of the day, made worse when he used it on his former teammate Freya, Dani and Yuri had another argument during the punishment which required Freya to break it up with Rachel's help.

After a terrible night on meat ended in her getting kicked out Andreas had little problem naming Dani as his first nominee and after some prodding from Yuri he named her as his second, Dani tried to talk Ramsey into moving her to the Blue Team (a thought that none of the Blue Team members liked) but Ramsey had enough of her ego at this point, eliminating her instead.

## Quotes

“The time has finally come! The best young chef in Florida has arrived! I don’t have any official awards in my home state but they’ll come eventually and by that point? I’ll have won Hell’s Kitchen!” (Dani’s first confession cam)

“Young lady, let’s start with you, tell me about yourself.”

“My name’s Dani, I’m 22 and I’m gonna win Hell’s Kitchen!” \*Chef Ramsey is taken aback by her ego whilst the other women roll their eyes\* “But right now I’m a Line Cook in my home city of Miami, Florida.”

“You certainly don’t lack for confidence, let’s see your dish.”

\*Dani unveils the dish\* “This is a pan roasted rack of lamb with a bacon hash, herb salad and pickled veggies.”

“Presentation looks nice.” \*Ramsey cuts into the lamb\* “Oh dear, that is overcooked.”

“Sorry chef, I wanted to get it to Medium Rare but I think I had the oven too high.”

“Far too high.” \*Chef Ramsey tries the dish\* “Luckily for you, the garnishes save the dish from being a complete disaster, but the overcooked lamb means I can’t score it higher than a 2.”

“Thank you chef.”-Dani’s dish gets tasted.

"Oh come on, really? I already can't stand Freya and the German dude because of their accents and now the have the punishment pass that should be nine?" \*Dani rolls her eyes\* "Fucking bullshit." (Dani's confession cam after Freya and Andreas win the punishment pass)

"I should've won that round, not Freya!" (Dani grumbles as she glances at the ribeyes) "I'll just make sure there's not enough ribeyes, not like anyone will........."

"Hahahaha no." \*Dani winces when she realizes that Christina is right behind her\* "I don't care how salty you are, you are not ruining Jazz's big night, am I clear?"

"Yes chef." (Dani gets in trouble)

“Dani, here you are again, why can’t you get it together on the line?”

“I don’t know chef, but I feel I’d do better if I was transferred to the Blue Team.” \*the men quickly shake their heads whilst Freya looks especially annoyed\* “I know I can thrive over there.”

“I’m not going to do that, not so soon after I moved Andreas to your team." \*the Blue Team breathe sighs of relief\* "Tell me why you should stay in Hell's Kitchen."

"Because I'm better than all those bitches combined! They are only putting me up for elimination because they know I'm a threat."

"The only threat you pose is to the collective sanity of me and the other contestants!" \*Yuri turns to Dani with an angry look on her face\* "You've been up here five times now, if I where you I'd ditch the ego plead for your life."

"Yuri, let me finish please."

"Sorry chef, but Danielle has been grating on my last nerve over the past two days, we argued during last night's deliberation and during today's punishment, just ask Freya, she had to break up our argument!"

"Freya, is that true?"

"Yes chef, and honestly I had never seen that side of Yuri before." \*Freya folds her arms\* "If Dani's that toxic to someone as sweet as Yuri then how is she supposed to run a professional kitchen?"

"Please, there's no such thing as a sweet head chef."

"Maybe, maybe not, but that's no excuse to nearly come to blows with a teammate twice in two days!" (Dani's final plea)

"My decision is..........Yuri." \*the other chefs gasp as Yuri steps forward, Dani has a shit eating grin on her face thinking that she has survived another elimination\* "Never perform like that on the line again, back in line!" \*the chefs breathe a sigh of relief as the grin vanishes from Dani's face\* "Dani, give me your jacket, your time is done in Hell's Kitchen."

“Understood chef.” \*Dani hands Ramsey her jacket\* “Thank you for the opportunity.”

“Good night.” (Dani is eliminated)

“I don’t belong out here! My destiny is to win Hell’s Kitchen but now that’s been taken away from me! The Red Team is gonna fall apart without me on their team, just you watch!” (Dani’s elimination statement)
