Emil Davies

* First

**Emil Davies** was a contestant competing on season 22 of Hell's Kitchen, he ranked in 13th place.

## Personality

Emil was a team player, however he could at times let his emotions get the better of him, which would sometimes lead to clashes with the other chefs. In the kitchen, while he was generally a good chef and had some genuine moments of brilliance, he tended to get easily flustered especially when things started to go wrong. This came full circle in his last service where he ended up behaving aggressively and unprofessionally towards his teammates when they were simply asking questions and trying to help him, which lead to his early elimination.

He got along with most of the chefs on his team, however he had a dislike towards Craig for his early poor performances and had a clash with Joey that almost got physical. His actions in his last service would cause the rest of the blue team to turn against him.

## Season 22

### Episode 1/2

During the signature dish challenge Emil was part of the eighth pairing and went against Olivia. He made shrimp and grits, which was deemed a solid comfort dish and scored a very strong 3 points. The blue team lost the challenge.

What he made during the tapas challenge is unknown as it wasn't picked for either the top 3 or bottom 2. During dinner service he was on the meat station with Darwin. Throughout the night he struggled cooking New York strip, all of his attempts were overcooked. Even after 10 attempts he continued to overcook them, much to Chef Ramsay's frustation. The blue team would lose the service.

He was one of the 3 chefs nominated for elimination along with Craig and Chase. He survived elimination.

### Episode 3

Upon returning to the dorms most of the blue chefs had choice words for Craig and Chase. Emil would also be critical of them, however Joey reminded him that he also messed up tonight, this would lead to the confrontation almost getting physical with Emil squaring up to him. However Joey didn't back down and calmly reminded him of his faults.

During the omelette grand prix challenge, he managed to get one of his omelettes accepted, in spite of struggling to drive his segway. The blue team lost the challenge.

During dinner service he was on the fish station with Chase, he wasn't seen much as he didn't make any mistakes. The blue team would win the service.

### Episode 4

At the beginning of the episode Emil was seen apologising to Joey for the physical confrontation the night before and was then seen celebrating the blue team's victory in the hot tub.

During the soup challenge, he saw the dining room decked out with artificial snow and a ski slope he hoped that skiing was part of the challenge as it was something he always wanted to try. He made a lemon chicken broth, which was praised for elevating such a simple recipe and scored 8 out of 9. The blue team lost the challenge.

During dinner service he was on the fish station with Phil. He was only seen at the beginning sending up a perfectly cooked halibut, the blue team lost the service.

He was not nominated for elimination.

### Episode 5

Before the army breakfast challenge Emil revealed that he served 3 years in the US army before becoming a chef and that this challenge was important to him. He was on the breakfast sandwich station with Darwin, with Craig's guidance the blue team made it through a smooth service winning the challenge.

During dinner service he was on the meat station with Phil. His service got off to a rough start as he sent up a ribeye that was cooked to fuck causing Ramsay to throw it across the kitchen. He never recovered from this mistake as he continued to struggle and went quiet. When Marcus asked him for a time, he told him to shut the fuck up and worry about himself. Phil stepped in and told him that garnish needs a time, to which again he told Phil to shut the fuck up and let him cook, this lead Ramsay to tell him to calm down and listen to his teammates. He sent up 3 overcooked filets, which would get his team kicked out. Both teams lost the service.

During elimination he was the blue team's second nominee along with Stephen. During postmortem, many of the chefs pointed out his unprofessional attitude during the service, which led him to storm out of the room. He pleaded that he was a team player and he just lets his emotions get the better of him. Eventually he was eliminated for not being able to keep it together when things start to go wrong.
