Kelly Patel

* RP S2

**Kelly Patel** was a contestant on Season 2 of Hell's Kitchen Roleplay (Season 22), and will be a contestant on Season 4 of Hell's Kitchen Roleplay (All-Stars). She ranked in 7th place in Season 2, and ranked in 4th place in All-Stars.

## Personality

In both seasons she appeared in, Kelly proved to be a very divisive chef, with some praising her passion while others criticizing her lack of maturity.

In Season 22, Kelly came in as confident and ready to learn, hoping to gain more experience for her career after HK. She was shown to be usually kind, but she was shown to be somewhat abrasive and very critical of chefs when they made major mistakes and would often refuse to let them live down their mistakes. One example of this would be an un-ended feud she had with Hunter, after he cost their team in a challenge. She managed to get along with the majority of her team, particularly Mehgan and Droidette. While disliking Danny at first due to him making some major mistakes, she would soon start to get along with him. Despite initially having a close bond with Jangue, she would become alienated from him after his attitude started to rub her the wrong way.

During the All-Stars season, Kelly came back with the same amount of passion that she had during her debut. Whilst she was mostly kind, her abrasiveness and immaturity was retained when chefs made critical errors or due to their attitudes, resulting in Kelly getting in numerous arguments. In the kitchen, she was produced very good challenge dishes and was very consistent during services. She retained her friendship with Droidette and got along well with both Angie and Tennille. She would also somewhat rebuild her friendship with Jangue. However, she had a rivalry with Carol, and an explosive one with Mae.

## Season 22 (RP)

### Episode 1

Kelly was one of 20 chefs on the bus to Hell's Kitchen. She felt very excited and confident about entering, deeming it a major learning experience for her later career.

Later, when leaders were supposed to be assigned, Smelly was the only one to volunteer. When nobody else volunteered, the Red Team agreed. Kelly disagreed with Ewan deciding not to volunteer and very much felt Smelly would not be great, after he had insulted Tanner for his lack of experience.

At the signature dish challenge, Kelly was the fifth member of the red team to go up, and went against Ben. Her dish was French style bone-in New York strip steak basted with a garlic and thyme infused butter. While Chef Arley felt the dish was cooked well, she was disappointed that Kelly only brought a steak with no garnish, so she only got a three. Kelly admitted she took a risk by putting no garnish, and it came back to haunt her. After Smelly only scored a one with his dish, Kelly was angered and declared she would try to be the leader of the red team.

The red team lost the challenge 30-29 and were punished by having to clean the dorms. When Smelly ordered everyone around and told them what to do, Kelly refused to clean and told Smelly to do it himself, leading to an argument between the two.

Before service, Smelly told Kelly to go on the meat, but later changed his mind and swapped her to appetizers, Kelly got made at Smelly and told him to make his mind up.

During dinner service, Kelly was on the Appetizer Station. She noticed no one was on the fish station, and asked Ewan to take it, but instead Denise did. She was later seen sending steak tartare for Chef Arley's approval, which was accepted. She later was seen giving a perfect risotto, and telling Denise to hurry before her risotto died. Afterwards, she sent another tartare, but it wasn't seasoned, she quickly bounced back, perfectly seasoning the next one. Then, on the final appetizer order, Jangue helped her with the flatbreads while she cooked both the capellini and carbonara. Her food was accepted by Arley, despite Jangue bringing dirty plates.

Later on, she questioned Chef Arley's decision to move Droidette off of meat, her worries were later proven correct when Smelly sent both raw and overcooked wellingtons multiple times. It got so bad, Ewan told Kelly and Droidette to move on the meat stations, but it wasn't enough, as the red team lost service.

In the dorms, when Smelly told Kelly she was going up, she snapped and told him to take accountability, saying she also only had one mistake on the appetizers.

Kelly was the second nominee for elimination, with Droidette being the first. During her plea, she declared it bullshit she was even up there, as she wasn't even close to being the worse that night. She was then seen being overjoyed of Smelly's elimination, calling a loony.

### Episode 2

After surviving elimination, Kelly was happy Smelly was gone, and felt the now with him gone, there were no excuses for the red team not to perform.

The next morning, Arley challenged the chefs to cut perfect mirepox. During the challenge, Kelly sent up 3 perfect plates, which helped the red team win 19-14. The red team's reward was going to an apple orchard, which made Kelly happy, as she lived on an apple orchard when she was young. While most of the red team went to get ice cream later on, she declined, saying she wasn't much of a sweets person. But she admitted that the reward helped the red team bond, and that would be key for service.

During service, Kelly was to serve a roasted chicken with a side of mirepoix tableside. But before that, she stayed in the kitchen to help. She was seen asking the team if she could help, and later Mehgan told her to get on the apps station. She was seen being told by Arley to hurry up with the apps, after Denise slowed down, and was frustrated by the latter confusing her. She later had another ticket, after which Arley complimented her for her communication. She was then seen telling Danny when to drop his scallops, afterwards, the ticket was accepted. Later, Arley sent her to the dining room.

She was seen there trying to get her team through entrees, but they were confused on why she was in the dining room cooking at first. She was then frustrated when the Branzino was overcooked, meaning she had to redo her chicken. The red team was later kicked out.

In the dorms, Kelly considered Denise and Danny for elimination, but Arley called the chefs back downstairs and eliminated Denise. Kelly and the red team also welcomed Michael as a new teammate.

### Episode 3

After hoping Michael would be a good addition for the red team, Arley then assigned the next challenge, when Season 1 winner Shane entered the dining room, the chefs were challenged to cook a dish with his preferences in mind.

Kelly was chosen as the top dish by the red team and faced Marcy in the first round. Kelly made a Colorado Rack of Lamb with steamed cabbage and basmati rice and seasoned the lamb with curry powder. While Arley felt the dish was messy, she complemented Kelle on its taste, as did Shane. She would lose the challenge to Hunter, who won the punishment pass.

During dinner service, Kelly was on the fish station with Mehgan. She was first seen asking Tanner when she and Mehgan could drop scallops, and later the scallops were accepted by Arley. She was then seen cooking salmon, while telling Mehgan to work on the branzino. The entrees were accepted without much hassle. The red team won service after great performances from Michael and Mehgan.

### Episode 4

During the fish challenge, Kelly was challenged by Akshay, and she chose catfish as their protein. She felt being from the south gave her an advantage with cooking catfish. While cooking, she asked Droidette to see if her sweet potato mash was seasoned well.

Kelly presented her dish to Arley soon later, which was a fried catfish with twice baked sweet potato mash and collard greens. Arley told Kelly the dish looked stunning, and the catfish was cooked and seasoned well. Despite critiquing the seasoning on the mash and the boring nature of the collard greens, she beat Akshay.

Despite her gaining a point, the red team lost, and their punishment was to eat disgusting soup. After the challenge was over she got angry at Danny for screwing the red team in the challenge, and didn't understand how the rest of her team could defend him. She later vented these frustrations to Jangue who shared her anger.

During dinner service, Kelly was on the fish station with Jangue. She commented about her being on the fish station twice in a row, but was happy to work with Jangue and felt sorry for Mehgan having to work with Danny. She was later seen telling Craig she would help if he struggled. Later, Arley asked for a question on who prepped the flatbreads, with Kelly commenting Droidette was there last so she assumed it was her.

Later because of a lack of fish orders, Kelly helped on the flatbread, which was accepted. Tanner then asked her for a time on the scallops for the next ticket, which she told she and Jangue would need two minutes.

During entrees, she took the halibut and sent it, with Arley deeming it acceptable. The red team would soon finish service, winning. Kelly was later seen telling Craig he had done a great job that night on the meat station. Later, the red team said goodbye to Jangue who switched to the blue team, much to her surprise.

### Episode 5

Kelly was seen shocked at Jangue for leaving, who told her it was so he could emerge as a leader, they would hug, before Jangue told Kelly he'd see her at the black jackets.

During the challenge, Kelly wasn't seen much, but the red team won the challenge, and they were rewarded with a canoeing and camping trip.

During service, Kelly was on the desert station. She wasn't seen and the red team was kicked out.

Mehgan was worried after her bad service, and the red team would group hug before elimination.

Kelly was not nominated by Danny, who won Best of the Worst. She was then seen sad by Mehgan leaving, but welcomed the opportunity to try and be a leader.

### Episode 6

During the bus ride home, she asked the red team if she could try to be a leader, to which Ewan said he'd let Kelly do for a service. Kelly was excited by that.

At the alumni breakfast service, Kelly was on the Sausage station. At one point, Michael shut down, so she took over the french toast station, sending perfect toast before going back to the sausage station. Later she was seen asking when she could drop more sausage. The red team narrowly won the service.

For their reward, the red team got to go to Disneyland, exciting Kelly, but worried when Hunter used his punishment pass, but thankfully for her, he chose Michael to replace. At Disneyland, she joked it was the day the blue team almost beat the red team, imitating Jack Sparrow.

Because of renovations at the restaurant, service was cancelled, but Arley instead sent the team to another restraunt for the Cook For Your Life Challenge.

In the first round, the chefs were challenged to make Steak Frites with Bearnaise Sauce. She was saved in the first round, along with Jangue, Craig, Akshay, Michael and Danny. Arley also told Droidette that Kelly narrowly beat her out.

After Ewan returned from the restaurant, Kelly admitted she was glad to see Chris gone. Later, Arley told Kelly, Droidette, Icey, and Akshay to take off their jackets, and made them swap teams. Kelly was shocked but happy to be with Jangue again.

### Episode 7:

Before the challenge, Kelly admitted she was growing somewhat frustrated with easy challenges. But then, was happy when Season 1 Runner-Up Angie came in. She felt the former should've won season 1 over Shane.

In Angie's favorite ingredients challenge, Kelly was seen thinking of ideas for her dish. Later she, was seen annoyed of Angie's nature of the challenge, as it seemed she didn't care. She was the third member to present. She made a pancetta rapped ribeye with black truffles and topped with wild mushrooms. She then explained she seared the ribeye four times. Chef Arley and Angie both enjoyed the dish, with the former complimenting Kelly's successful quadruple sear. She scored a point with both of the chefs but the blue team lost after Hunter fell flat on his dish.

The blue team was punished by having to butcher 100 pigs for 8 hours. She was then seen angrily yelling at Hunter and Shaun for failing, and refused to calm down even when Droidette told her too. During the punishment, she continued to tell Hunter to fuck himself, and later threw pig fat at him, with Sous Chef Toasty being shocked of her actions.

During service, Kelly was on the appetizers. She wasn't seen much, but she got out the appetizers. She was also seen telling Shaun to stay out of her way. Later, she was seen telling Shaun his meat temperature was good. When Shaun sent it up however, it wasn't, and he had to redo it.

The blue team lost after Ben failed on the deserts. She was seen in the dorms saying it was an easy choice, and that they nominate Ben and Shaun.

She was not nominated for elimination, and she welcomed Danny on the blue team, much to her dismay.
