Andrea Aitcheson

**Andrea Aitcheson** is a contestant in the fourth season of Hell's Kitchen Luskia. She ranked in 9th place.

## Personality

Andrea generally gave poor performances in both challenges and services. Despite showing potential in one service, she was easily the red team's weakest link for most of her run. However, her services were always overshadowed by even worse ones which allowed her to skate by all the way to the final nine. Eventually, she was unable to hide any longer even after attempting to pass the buck on her fish, and this led to her elimination. She was on mixed terms with Lara, and had a dislike towards Kat due to seeing her as a weak link.

## Hell's Kitchen Luskia

### Episode 1/2

At the start of the episode, the chefs were shown going in limousines and travelling to Hell's Kitchen. Then, the chefs arrived to hell's Kitchen where Kenneth introduced himself and his staff, then the chefs had to cook their signature dishes. For the signature dish challenge, she faced Kip in the sixth round. Her strip steak with sweet potato and kale was criticized for being dry and boring, scoring a 2. Despite this, the red team won the challenge, and were rewarded with visiting a skyscraper and enjoying a dinner with Kenneth near the top.

The next morning, Kenneth called the chefs down to the kitchen, and told them that someone was going to leave that morning, and that they were each going to be cooking with filet mignons. After time was up, Kenneth asked the chefs to line up, and said that he wouldn't be tasting every single dish; instead, he'd ask the sous chefs to taste them, and they'd pick the three best and the three worst from their respective teams. Her dish was selected as one of the three worst of the red team, along with Misti and Kat's dishes. She presented her filet with walnut cream sauce and roasted potatoes, and he said that it was very monochrome and not intriguing, however he praised the filet for actually being quite nice and tender, and also said that the sauce had potential, but she had overreduced it, stating that the actual filet was executed well, but everything around it was underwhelming, but also said that it went without saying that Kat's was far worse than hers, thereby saving her from elimination.

During dinner service, Andrea was on the dessert station. The red team received an order of 2 carbonara and 2 salads, but Andrea epeated the order as 2 capellini and 2 salads which got her berated. She wasn't seen for the rest of the night, and the red team lost the service. While deliberating, she voted for Shannon to go up. Andrea was not nominated for elimination.

### Episode 3

For the challenge, Kenneth met the chefs downstairs and lifted the lid off a dome to reveal a rack of lamb, and told the chefs that one basic skill is knowing how to French a rack of lamb. He then gave a demonstration on Frenching a rack of lamb. At one point, she knew her attempt was bad, and decided not to present it as she knew it was a failure. While judging their attempts, Kennethh saw nothing from Andrea and called it unbelievable, and Lara said that what Andrea did was a cop-out, and that it showed that she was afraid of criticism. Despite this, the red team won the challenge, but Kenneth called her out and said that her attitude pissed him off. The red team was rewarded with a picnic, but at one point, Shannon commented that they didn't exactly dominate the challenge as Kenneth seemed pretty pissed off with her and Kat, but Andrea told her that it wasn't time to remind her of how she did and said that she especially shouldn't name names, but Shannon said that what she said was just how it was and that she was sick of having to be politically correct about everything.

During dinner service, she was on the meat station with Kat. At one point, Lara discovered her filet to be overcooked, and Kenneth noted that he had 5 beautiful proteins dying because of an overcooked steak. Then, she sent a raw filet, but with Cali's help, she managed to bounce back and had no further issues that night. The teams were named joint losers, but Lara was named Best of the Worst. While discussing her nominees, Lara said that she had made her mind up already as there were two people who fucked up, being Misti and Andrea, but Andrea begged her to save her, and tried to throw Kat under the bus as she was equally responsible due to being on her station and said that she had also been weaker, but Whitney defended Kat by saying that she had done nothing wrong.

Lara announced Andrea as being the second nominee for elimination, with Misti being the first, and they were joined by Manny and Alec from the blue team. For her plea, Andrea said that she fucked up, but was also able to bounce back, and felt like there were people such as Kat, Shannon and Misti who were weaker than her, but Kenneth asked what Kat did wrong that night, to which Andrea said that she was just an overall weak link. She survived elimination.
