Zoi

Nikki

Dale, Spike, Valerie (eliminated)
-4
Nimma (eliminated)
-6
Ryan
-9
Erik (eliminated)
Cheftestants get:
+1 point for each Quickfire honorable mention
+2 points for each Quickfire win
+3 points for each Elimination honorable mention
+4 points for each Elimination win
-1 points for each Quickfire dishonorable mention
-3 points per time up for Elimination
-4 points if actually eliminated
For team or head-to-head challenges, a cheftestant has to be singled out for special praise or criticism to receive or lose points.
Richard, for example, received no points for the Block Party challenge, even though his team won; aside from Stephanie (who won the overall challenge), the only Blue to get any points was Antonia, since her dish was specifically mentioned as one of the best.
Likewise, Jennifer didn't lose any points in the Week One head-to-head, since the judges made it clear that they liked her dish almost as much as Nikki's, and Zoi didn't win any in the same challenge, even though she out-souffléd Erik.
But you're showing Zoi with 0 points. Aren't there some negative points for "negative Elimination comments" or "close to Elimination?" That's what Zoi got with the pasta salad and Ryan got with the chicken Waldorf salad.
