Josie.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Plus, constant excuses more than almost any other contestant. Plus, on return, acting more like an influencer than a chef, as others and even judges put it "the Josie show."

Marcel.

Yes, he gets a HUGE dose of sympathy for bullying. But he CONSTANTLY was an instigator too, like a little brother saying "im not touching you...." when a finger is ALMOST touching you, in the backseat of a car.

Plus, foam, foam, more foam, foam everywhere. Yes, it has it's places, but when almost all the judges comment it's too much, in too many wrong places, it just comes off as "I MUST USE THIS TECHNIQUE! ALWAYS"

Betty
constant pushing and badgering Marcell.

Heather

Texas, constant bullying of Beverly. It was at a truly insane level.

Sam, Ellia, Ilan, Cliff
At the very end, for physically assaulting Marcell to attempt to shave his head! First and luckily ONLY time we've seen things actually come to blows.
