Chris Jackson "CJ" Haward

* First

**Chris Jackson "CJ" Haward** was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Season 29, he finished in 19th place.

CJ came into the competition looking to make a better life for himself, however he quickly showed himself to be the weakest cook on the Blue Team and only lasted two services.

## Personality

CJ was very cocky and egotistical but couldn't back it up in the kitchen either.

### Episode 1

CJ went up against Rebecca in the signature dish challenge and thought he'd have a chance after her dish got mediocre reviews, however CJ's salmon was cooked to fuck as he scored a one, the Red Team went on to win the challenge.

### Episode 2

CJ's fries weren't selected for the Punishment Pass Challenge.

His screwup on the fish station unintentionally got Freya in trouble as she was caught impersonating Ramsey after he had just told CJ about the raw scallops, he would ultimately get kicked out alongside Ritchie but escaped elimination as the Red Team all got kicked out.

### Episode 3

CJ wasn't seen much during the lobster relay challenge and the Blue Team went on to win their first challenge.

That night proved to be a disaster for both teams as neither the Blue or Red Teams got any food out thanks to CJ and Ritchie and Dani and Rebecca on apps resulting in both teams getting kicked out, CJ was nominated alongside Ritchie and the girls but was ultimately eliminated.

 Week 3

## Post Hell's Kitchen

## Quotes

"Young man, you have three to beat, can you do it?"

"I think I can chef, my name is CJ and I'm a line cook from Harlem."

"Right then, let's see your dish."

"Okay, this is my pan seared salmon with dirty rice."

\*Ramsey tries the dish\* "Oh dear, that fish is cooked to fuck! Young lady, consider yourself lucky, young man,, I can only award you a one, both of you back in line."

"Yes chef."

"Yes chef." (CJ's dish gets a bad score)

"CJ, Ritchie, what the hell happened on appetizers tonight?"

"CJ is the one at fault, he was the one who told me to send up those risottos and carbonaras that weren't ready."

"And Ritchie was the one who sent up the crab cakes that weren't ready."

"The crab cakes? They were being served by the fish station."

"My mistake, I meant the lobster Eggs Benedict."

"The table side appetizer?! Do you even know what got the Blue Team kicked out?!"

"Yeah, it was Ritchie, who cares about details?! (CJ's final plea)

"My decision is........Rebecca." \*Rebecca lowers her head\* "Dani." \*Rebecca's head snaps up whilst Dani looks confused\* "And Ritchie, get back in line and shape up! CJ, give me your jacket, your time is done on Hell's Kitchen!" \*the three saved chefs go back in line as CJ steps forward\* "You have failed to impress me once since you got here, and I'm not going to wait any longer."

"Understood chef." \*CJ hands over his jacket and heads out the door\* (CJ is eliminated)

"Man, this is bullshit! I had so much more to give than either of the chefs I was up against for elimination! You guys haven't seen the last of me, I'll be back stronger and better than ever before!" (CJ's elimination statement)
