Fiona Fairchild

* First

**Fiona Fairchild** was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Season 30: Next Gen, she finished in 16th place

## Personality

Fiona was a nice girl but was overshadowed by the louder voices in the Red Team.

### Episode 1

Fiona had the misfortune of following two back to back perfect dishes from her teammates as she had gone right after Chelsea and Ashley, this was made worse when her scallops were revealed to be burnt to a crisp, awarding her the first 1/5 of the night, fortunately for her the Red Team went on to win the challenge.

### Episode 2

Fiona's tacos weren't selected for the punishment pass challenge and the punishment pass was awarded to Chelsea and Xander this season, Fiona was working the fish station with McKenna and Ava that night but wasn't seen much, both teams lost the service and Fiona wasn't nominated, the night ending with Trent's elimination.

### Episode 3

Fiona wasn't seen much in the Chicken Relay Challenge and the Red Team lost the challenge in a landslide, thanks to the mistakes by Chelsea and Kaylee.

Fiona was on fish with Cora that night but had to take over after her station partner was kicked out, after Saraya and Kaylee followed Cora out the Red Team were able to complete service and Kaylee was eliminated.

### Episode 4

Fiona's budget dish was one of several that received good reviews from the guest judges and the Red Team went onto win the challenge, Fiona was seen enjoying the trip to Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas.

Fiona was on meat with Ashley that night and after her partner played peacekeeper between the warring Cora and Saraya the Red Team went onto win their first service, ending in Jake's elimination.

### Episode 5

Fiona got bangers and mash on the back of her jacket and her dish was received well, however her efforts were undermined when Cora and Saraya failed to properly communicate with Ava and Lisa about their dishes and proceeded to alter their given recipes, awarding the Blue Team the win, Chelsea proceeded to use her punishment pass to get a break from Saraya at this point as the rest of the Red Team were getting sick of Saraya's attitude and poor performances at this point.

Fiona was on Garnish with Ava that night and was frustrated at Chelsea's performance as her garnish was dying due to her mistakes, this subsided once Chelsea recovered and Fiona was relieved when Saraya's behavior got her disqualified that night.

### Episode 6

Fiona was seen comforting Chelsea following Saraya's disqualification as the younger chef had been seriously upset by Saraya's comments towards her past weight issues, in the challenge itself Fiona was one of two chefs who performed poorly having undercooked her chicken, the Red Team won the challenge.

Xander chose to use his punishment pass on Fiona, unintentionally setting in motion the events that led to her elimination because Fiona had stacked a tray full of different meats and put them in the oven hoping that they'd be cooked in time, by the time Chelsea discovered the error the meats were all overcooked and she reported it to Ramsey, Fiona admitted to the mistake and was eliminated on the spot for wasting so much food and causing so much cross contamination.

## Quotes

"Great, I get to be the girl who has to follow not one but two perfect scores from my teammates! To make matters worse? I don't even know if my scallops are cooked right!" (Fiona's first confession cam)

"Young lady, you took scallops, one of the most expensive, best shellfish in the world, and turned them into hockey pucks!" \*Ramsey holds up the burnt scallop and Fiona facepalms\* "At least your honest about how bad it looks, you're lucky that I can't go lower than a one!"

"Sorry chef." (Fiona's dish gets trashed)

"Fiona, Cora, what do you girls need?"

"A miracle would be nice Chelsea!"

"Don't know if I can provide those but we'll........." \*Chelsea checks the oven\* "What the hell is that?"

"What's what?" \*Cora looks in the oven\* "Holy shit."

"Cora can you grab me some oven gloves?" \*Cora complies and Chelsea takes the tray out of the oven\* "Chef? You might want to see this!"

"What's going on?" \*Ramsey comes over and sees the meat tray\* "My god! Where did you find that tray?!"

"In the meat station's oven." \*Chelsea puts the tray down and the rest of the Red Team look on in shock\* "And no, I don't know how long it's been in there."

"This is appalling! Who put this tray together?!" \*Christina comes up and looks just as shocked\* "Chelsea, it clearly wasn't you so who did? Cora, do you know?!"

"I don't know chef, I saw it right after Chelsea did."

"Then who did? Come on, someone clearly put that tray in there!"

"I did it." \*Christina and Gordon turn to Fiona\* "I put it in the oven when I was prepping the kitchen with the Blue Team, I was trying to get them cooked ahead of time."

\*Ramsey holds up a clearly burned fillet\* "Do you have any idea how much food you wasted with that stunt? Or how much cross contamination is on that tray?" \*Fiona quickly shakes her head\* "You're done, give me your jacket and go out the front door!"

"Wait, what?!" \*Fiona is clearly taken aback by her sudden elimination\* "Chef I'm sorry but..........."

"NOW!" \*Fiona accepts defeat before handing her jacket over and quickly leaving\* "Cora, get up to the dorms, your not following her out the door but you are done for the night."

"Yes chef." \*Cora leaves clearly frustrated\*

"Chelsea, can you do this station solo?"

"I'll try, but I'm not so sure after last night."

"Anything would be an improvement over them, remember that!" \*Chelsea nods before she gets to work\* (Fiona is eliminated mid-service)

"I tried to be ready ahead of time but it ended up being a huge mistake and just like that? I'm gone, I'm out of the competition all because of one tray of meat! How could I fuck up so badly?" (Fiona's elimination statement)"
