Hell's Kitchen
Carolann came into the competition as a contender, being the only one in the competition with a signature dish that was praised by host Gordon Ramsay. However, during service she was quiet and didn't help anyone. This led to her being nominated against Jeffery Dewberry by Elsie Ramos after her team lost the first service and officially becoming the first person to ever be eliminated in the show's history due to her lack of effort and officially placing 12th.
