Season six returns with one change. Instead of working alone, now the red and blue teams work will be a team effort. The first dinner service (which is a predictable disaster) comes next before the first chef is eliminated, but an old friend shows up. Dinner service 2 winds up being an even bigger disaster.

Hell's Kitchen takes seafood as their muse for this round of the competition. First they must prepare shrimp to Chef Ramsay's speicifications, with the winning Team enjoying a day on Ramsay's yacht while the losers prep shrimp and lemon wedges for the next service. Later, two contestants are asked to prepare shrimp scampi tableside, but when neither kitchen are able to get their food out to the customers, Chef Ramsay tells both Teams to name a pair of candidates for elimination. But this leads to even greater controversy, when one chef decides he's been pushed too far.....

The remaining 14 chefs get a surprise awakening in the middle of the night to make a spaghetti dinner for a group of hungry firefighters. The winner will be determined by which team can serve first, and the losers must wax the firetrucks. later, two contestants are rushed to the hospital after suffering injuries.

The remaining 14 chefs are challenged to create perfectly proportioned 6-inch sausages. The dinner service will include Drew Lachey, John O’Hurley, Tom Green, Melinda Clarke, Chris Kid Reid and Kristy Swanson are among those being served cold and salty meal. Chef Ramsey is unhappy.

The remaining 12 chefs have the honor of creating a welcome back home dinner for a returning U.S. marine, where the losers will be left in charge of cleaning and decorating the dinning room for a party under the watchful eye of Gordon Ramsey’s wife, Tana. Later, chef Ramsey gets heated up during dinner service over cold food.

The remaining 11 chefs are challenged to create a full three-course meal which only totals up to 700 calories. The winning team gets a day at the beach and volleyball pointers from 2000 Olympian Annette Davis, while the losers must prep both kitchens. One chef snaps back at Chef Ramsey, while another is taken to the hospital’s emergency room.

The remaining ten chefs are rolling the dice to see what ingredients they can use in their challenge dish, with the winners earning a trip to Las Vegas. Later, chefs from Gordon Ramsey’s own restaurants help out in the dinner service, which is interrupted by repeating mistakes and one bossy teammate.

The remaining nine chefs are given a blind taste test. The winners will receive a dinner with chef Ramsay...in a darkened dinning room where they’ll have no idea what they are eating. Later, the dinner service is ruined by meat and potatoes.

The remaining eight chefs are asked to make crepes, where the winners receiving a night out dining at a French restaurant and the losers creating a French-themed dinner service. During the prep time one contestant is injured, and the other three can’t make it through the service.

Winter Olympic medalists Sasha Cohen and Jonny Moseley will serve as judges of the meals created by the contestants using ingredients brought in from Whistler, B.C., site of the restaurant in which the winner will be stationed.

The teams may merge now that there are six, as they re-create foods they’ve tasted. A frustrated Chef Ramsey storms out during dinner service.

The five remaining chefs are challenged to create as pretty as it tastes. A winner will be chosen by experts from Bon Apetite magazine and will win a dinner with Chef Ramsay and Bon Apetite editor Barbara Fairchild at a luxury hotel in Santa Monica.

The remaining four chefs meet British child actor-impressionist Felix Wright, a diminutive version of Chef Ramsey, then meet 80 other youngsters, who they will feed without serving any meat. Two chefs have a bad night at dinner service and one is let go.

The three finalists will create dishes from various parts of the world, which will be judged by international culinary experts. The final two chefs will battle it out in the final challenge and dinner service. Chef Gordon Ramsay will then choose the winner.

Following the previous elimination, the two finalists are immediately thrust into a challenge that requires them to cook for five discriminating judges. The winner earns the coveted right to make the first pick of the chefs for the final brigade. After getting a bit of rest, the two then design their own menus for the final service, then choose their brigades. After a brief time, they are sent into the final service. Both finalists face their struggles with the teams that they’ve selected, but both demonstrate excellent command on the whole and finish service within a narrow margin of each other. Then, in the closest margin ever, Chef Ramsay chooses the winner of the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen..
