It’s getting hot in “Hell’s Kitchen” and not just because only six chef-testants remain in the Fox reality TV competition for a head chef position at Gordon Ramsay‘s Lake Tahoe restaurant. As tempers flare and the stress increases with each passing week, Cody Candelario and Mary Lou Davis have been developing a spicy relationship over nightly games of cards and flirtatious banter. And the distraction seems to be paying off as each of them is flourishing with just five episodes remaining.

So who has the momentum to cook their way to the Season 19 finale? And who is most likely to get an expletive-filled sendoff from Gordon? Check out our “Hell’s Kitchen” Top 6 power rankings heading into Episode 12 below. The 12 eliminated chefs to date are Kenneth McDuffie, Eliott Sanchez, Fabiola Fuentes, Drew Tingley, Brittani Ratcliff, Peter Martinez, Josh Oakley, Syann Williams, Lauren Lawless, Adam Pawlak, Marc Quinones and Jordan Savell.
