**Jonah Ryan** is a contestant on  the old version of Season XXI written by 44lifedollars. He is currently still in the running. He was eliminated after the first service over Ben, ranking 18th.

## Personality

Jonah came into the competition with confidence, but couldn't back it up with his cooking ability, and was completely delusional about his performance. He also refused to fully admit to his mistakes and still believed that he was the best chef on the team, even when he was the first to be eliminated. He also was shown to be disrespectful, as he insulted Ramsay in his exit interview.

## Season XXI

### Episode 1

After showing a sign of commitment, he was sent to the kitchen to cook their signature dishes after showing a sign of commitment.

He was the fourth member of the blue team to have his dish judged by Ramsay, and went up against Dasara. However, his meat was dry, and the vegetables were solid, and he only scored one point. The blue team lost the challenge 26-24, and was punished with having to set up the dorms for both teams.

All throughout the punishment, Jonah was pissed due to his hatred of losing, but Craig retorted, saying that had ne not made such a terrible dish, they might have had a chance at winning the challenge. Not long after, Jonah got sick of doing the punishment, and decided to ditch the rest of the team by going upstairs and taking a break, much to Declan's dismay.

During service, Jonah was on the appetizer station with Gal. Jonah sent his risotto up to the pass, but the rice was undercooked, and was told to refire it. This was much to Deep's dismay, as he was really hoping for a strong performance out the gates. He sent his refire up to the pass, but it was once again rejected as it was too salty, thanks to him adding too much salt in. Gal decided to refire Jonah's risotto, and it was accepted, and they were able to send them out. However, Jonah decided to fire a risotto without it being ordered, and Ramsay questioned his sanity before kicking him out of the kitchen.

The blue team lost the service, and they were asked to nominate two people for elimination. During deliberation, Jonah argued that the fish station was the downfall of the night, and as a result, considered both Chase and Ben. He was considered by Declan, Roy, and Deep, along with Matt.

Jonah was the blue team's first nominee for elimination, with Ben being the second. During his plea, he admitted to having slightly fucked up appetizers that night, but he stated that he didn't have as big of a meltdown as Ben did on fish that night, to which Ben responded that he was full of shit. Ramsay agreed with Ben, and critisized said comment, stating that he had an absolute meltdown, not just a slightly bad performance. Ultimately, he was eliminated for his poor performance on appetizers. During his exit interview, was pissed, stated that he was still the best chef on the team and that he should have won the competition, wished the worst for his team as well as Ramsay himself, even going as far as to saying that Ramsay will eventually regret his decision.

Ramsay's comment: "I wouldn't trust Jonah to make a cup of coffee in the morning. That's how useless he was."

## Quotes

* *(About Ben's plea)* "Oh, shut the fuck up. That is a bullshit excuse and you know it. I can see through your petty lies, we all can!"
* *(After being eliminated)* "I don't fucking get it. I was supposed to win Hell's Kitchen. I was the best out of all those chefs. The blue team is gonna faulter now because of this, and I hope they do. Chef Ramsay definitely made a bullshit decision and he's definitely going to regret it."
