Hell's Kitchen Season 1 Episode 3

In the closing credits, it says that Jeff LaPoff decided to leave Hell's Kitchen due to an injury. Presumably, this refers to his bout with a kidney stone, since no other major injury to the contestant was shown, and before he walked off the line he seemed to be working no worse than normal.

Jeff passes his kidney stone during this episode. None of the other contestants are very impressed by his travail, however.

The Red Team: Chris, Elsie, Jimmy, Michael, and Jeff

The Blue Team: Ralph, Jessica, Wendy, Mary Ellen, and Andrew

Team Info: Michael was transferred to the Red Team in order to even out the number of contestants on each team.

Reward Challenge : Ramsay asked the Teams to cook him a five-course meal of original dishes. The catch was that they only had 10 minutes of shopping time at a local supermarket' all the Team's members had to stay together at all times, and they only had $100 per Team to spend at the market. The Red Team won the challenge, winning an evening out at a pub with Ramsay, while the losing Blue Team stayed behind to clean the dorm.

Walked Out: Jeff, a member of the Red Team, walked off the show. Ramsay still eliminated a contestant from a Team, meaning that two contestants left during this episode.
