Hell’s Kitchen Young Guns: Who made the final three?

With only two episodes remaining in Hell’s Kitchen Season 20, the three remaining Hell’s Kitchen Young Guns chefs are yearning for the coveted title. Although each chef has skills, the title might be one chef’s to lose. Can you predict the ultimate winner from these three chefs?

Much has been said about the Hell’s Kitchen winner pattern. While women chefs tend to rise to the top closer to the finale, Trenton is making a case for Gordon Ramsay to choose him. Will the pattern change with Hell’s Kitchen Season 20?

After two back to back episodes, the field was narrowed from five to three. Although no chef had a huge mistake on any dinner service, the reality is that the biggest difference between the chefs was their ability to lead.

From Steven’s inability to be heard in the kitchen to Brynn’s lack of confidence, their downfall came because they didn’t have that leadership quality. It didn’t matter that both of those chefs had earned the punishment pass in the beginning of the season. At this point in the competition, those chefs have not showed the progression needed to impress Gordon Ramsay.

Looking back at previous Hell’s Kitchen seasons, the chefs who have shown improvement usually capture the title. Like many competitions, the best competitors are the ones who rise to the occasion when it really matters.

Building on that idea, Megan might be the chef to beat. She was the best chef in the sabotage challenge at the pass. She spotted every food error without the prompting of Chef Ramsay.

Also, she has found her voice in the kitchen. While there is an element of sternness, it isn’t brash. She can push her team without making them feel belittled.

On the other hand, Trenton has impressed with the best dishes. After winning both Black Jacket challenges, he has proven his talent. From pretty plating to great flavors, it seems that Trenton has all the characteristics to be that head chef.

But, his time at the pass was a little heavy handed. Gordon Ramsay has earned that ability to be fiery, but Trenton has not. He needs to be care not to push too hard or have a mutiny on his hands.

Lastly, Kiya is a great cook, but she might not be ready for the responsibility. Although she wants the position, wanting doesn’t make it happen. She cannot let the pressure get to her.

As she broken down in the walk-in, the best advice that Chef Christina gave her was do not let the competition see her cry. That moment of weakness could be her downfall.

With two more challenges between these chefs and the title, it could be a roll of the dice to determine the winner. Could an underdog take the title? Could Trenton break the women winner streak? Could the outcome depending on the final dinner service?

Be sure to watch FOX and the Hell’s Kitchen Young Guns season finale on Monday, September 13 starting at 8 p.m. ET.
