Alice Albright

* First

**Alice Albright** was a contestant who competed in season 22 of Hell's Kitchen, she ranked in 17th place.

## Personality

Alice had a very meek and quiet personality and came across as very nervous. In the kitchen she lacked confidence and was quickly exposed as the red team's weakest chef. She produced mediocre, poorly executed dishes in challenges and was completely lost during dinner service. So much so that she actually gave up in the middle of service on opening night, the first chef to ever do so, leading to her being eliminated in spite of being on the winning team.

She formed a friendship with Olivia, as the latter tried to get her back on track as she was losing her confidence.

## Season 22

### Episode 1

Alice arrived at Hell's Kitchen with the other 17 chefs, she was not seen much during Marino's or Ramsay's introduction. During the signature dish challenge she was part of the third pairing and went against Joey. She served pan seared sea bass in a creamy butter sauce. Ramsay described it as her on a plate; simple, blonde and boring. This dish scored a 2, but the red team would win the challenge in the end.

Upon returning from the reward Alice revealed that Ramsay comments had got to her and she felt like she'd lost her confidence. She was reassured by Olivia who stated her signature dish also did poorly, but she's not going to stop fighting.

### Episode 2

During the tapas challenge she made mussels with chorizo and paprika, it was chosen by Rupinder (who had won the red team punishment pass) as one of the red team's bottom 2 dishes along with Heather's. Ramsay criticised the dish for being way overcooked and literally falling apart. For a while it looked like she was going to be eliminated, but then Mike got into a verbal confrontation with Ramsay before his dish was even tasted, resulting in him being eliminated on the spot and allowing Alice to survive the first challenge.

During dinner service she was on the appetiser station with Layton. Her first to attempts at the risotto were rejected, the first for having no seasoning and the second for being undercooked. At one point Tori asked Alice for a time so she could drop her lobster tail, she asked what she meant by that, leading Tori to wonder if she was even a chef. Eventually Layton took complete control of the station leaving her just standing there. Ramsay said watching her in action was painful and chef Christina eventually stepped in asking her why she applied for the show and calling her the sloppiest cook she's ever seen. This was the last straw and Alice walked out of the kitchen and back to the dorms in the middle of service. In spite of her the red team won the service.

During elimination the blue team had nominated Chase, Craig and Emil. However Alice was eliminated from the winning team for just giving up and Ramsay said she can't waste anymore of his time.
