- Listen to me, Jason! - I'm listening, Chef! Then do it, then! (Announcer) After the tables were turned - Okay, well, you need to - Don't "Mmm" me! (Announcer) And the red team took control of the kitchen So answer me! (Announcer) the fighting began.
'Cause I didn't hear you! Who the [bleep.]
are you yelling at? (Announcer) They ended up screaming their way What's that? Listen to me, you [bleep.]
idiots! (Announcer) to another loss.
It's almost like you all hate each other.
(Announcer) Fran was the best of the worst You were on top of your game.
(Announcer) And had to nominate two teammates for elimination.

life like I have.
(Announcer) Her first choice surprised no one.
Maria, Chef.
(Announcer) Her second choice shocked everyone.

Don't just bring me up here and surprise me.
(Announcer) Chef Ramsay added his own nominee.

[The Ohio players' "Fire".]
Fire.
Uh, uh.
Fire Woo woo woo woo.
The way you walk and talk really sets me off to a full alarm, child.
Yes it does.
The way you squeeze and tease knocks me to my knees, 'cause I'm smoking, baby, baby.
The way you push push let's me know that you're good.
Oh no.
Fire.
What I said child, ow.
Fire.
Fire.
Fire.
(announcer) And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now get some sleep.
You're gonna need it.
(Nilka) I want to tell y'all y'all can kiss my [bleep.]
ass, every last one of y'all.
That was [bleep.]
up.
Y'all should have told me I was going up on the chopping block.
[indistinct chatter.]
[bleep.]
I don't want to hear it and that's it.
I don't want to hear [bleep.]
! That's gonna get you a long ways in life.
And I mean that from the bottom of my ass.
Oh, my goodness.
Nilka is completely pissed off.
It was like a freaking bomb exploded.
Fran, don't come near me.
Not now.
Don't come near me.
Like, don't come near me.
- I'm sorry.
- I don't want to hear it.
I never voted your ass up on that [bleep.]
.
No.
I will do what I got to do.
I will talk to you in the kitchen, but until then, get the [bleep.]
out of my face and that's it, 'cause I don't roll like that.
It was just a wrong freaking decision.
And if ever had to do it again, I would put myself up before that woman.
That's how bad I feel right now.
(Announcer) After a rocky night in Hell's Kitchen, this morning, Chef Ramsay opens today's roll call with some questions.
Jay.
Yes, Chef? Name me a classic mother sauce.
- Hollandaise sauce.
- Perfect.
Five mother sauces.
That was, like, day one culinary school for me.
- Nilka - Yes, Chef? Name me a second mother sauce.
Tomato sauce.
Tomatoes, yeah.
Autumn.
Béchamel.
Béchamel.
Exactly that.
Holli, fourth one.
Velouté.
Absolutely perfect.
- One more.
- Scott.
I'm gonna say a demi-glace, Chef.
Exactly that.
Those basic five sauces.
You can create hundreds and thousands of amazing dishes from those five sauces.
- Yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
Good.
Because your next challenge will be to prepare five dishes representing the five mother sauces.
Each team will be given twenty ingredients.
They're only allowed to be use once.
- Yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
Thirty minutes.
Starting from now.
Let's go.
(Announcer) Chef Ramsay has designed this challenge to test the shefs' creativity with the mother sauces.
Okay, I'm gonna do the velouté.
(Announcer) The teams will have thirty minutes to create five dishes.
Each one must have one of the five mother sauces as its base.
Sal, you got pasta tomato sauce, yeah? (Jay) Tomato sauce is your specialty.
(Announcer) Each team has twenty ingredients (Jay) I'll take the duck.
(Announcer) And must use them all without repeating any.
- Autumn, what do you want? - Halibut.
- Halibut? - Okay.
And you got to have this crab too.
(Announcer) While the blue team works out a plan together, over in the red kitchen I'll take the mushroom? (Announcer) Nilka, still stinging from being nominated last night, is focused on her individual dish.
I'll take the potatoes, right? I got potatoes.
[bleep.]
it.
I don't care.
I'm just gon' put my [bleep.]
into overdrive and just try to get what I got to get.
I'ma take some swiss chard.
You're taking the swiss chard? Um, I think I might need something.
I really didn't get to choose.
Nilka really just kind of took all of the ingredients.
I got the mushrooms.
The rest of us were kind of just left with [bleep.]
.
I got grapefruit.
Give it back.
I think the chicken should go with the béchamel.
That's a duck.
- No.
- Chicken.
Oh, this is chicken? I thought it was duck.
Guys, look at the blue team's table.
Let's go.
Empty.
Let's go.
It is a duck.
Béchamel's not gonna go good with duck.
I kind of got stuck with chicken excuse me, duck breast.
I figured, like, whatever I got, I could try and make it work.
Ten minutes gone, twenty minutes to go, yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
(Announcer) As the blue team has six members to prepare five dishes, Chef Ramsay has Ed and Autumn working together.
You put the mustard in the sauce? (Ed) Yeah, I'ma put a little bit in there.
Autumn's a nice addition to the blue team.
She's not trying to just jump in and take over completely like, you know, Scott did.
Make sure you check that fish.
Make sure it's cooked perfectly.
Absolutely.
You'll double-check it too.
I'm definitely happy to be on the blue team.
There's no cattiness.
There any fish spatulas anywhere? Oh, sorry.
Here.
- Take mine.
Take mine.
- Thank you.
(Autumn) There's a camaraderie that men have, and when they let you in on it, it feels special.
(Ed) How we doing over there, Autumn? We're good.
We're doing good.
Excellent.
That's what I like to hear.
(Announcer) While the blue kitchen works as a team united Ten minutes to go, guys.
Yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
(Announcer) The red kitchen is a team divided.
(Siobhan) I'm gonna pull my chicken at the very last second.
Suppose you ought to try and get it out now.
Just check and make sure it's cooked.
Think my chicken's good.
(Scott) It's not chicken.
Don't call it chicken.
Actually, it's still got blood coming out of it.
Drop your pastas.
I don't need ten minutes to heat up pasta.
There's tension between us.
I'm so sick of it.
I Just pisses me off beyond belief.
Get over it.
We can do this [bleep.]
, guys.
We've lost too [bleep.]
much.
Stop talking about what we should have did.
Just do what we're doing.
I don't like so much chatter.
It's a nuisance.
If they all left me the [bleep.]
alone, I'd be fine.
(Gordon) Last minute, guys.
Let's go.
(All) Yes, Chef.
(Scott) Come on, guys.
Go up to the window now.
- Good, Jay.
- Thank you, Chef.
(Gordon) Start cleaning your plates.
(Fran) Open mine, somebody.
(Gordon) Five, four three, two, one and stop, guys.
As you know, the winner of Hell's Kitchen is gonna become the head Chef at the Savoy Grill at the Savoy Hotel in London, right? (All) Yes, Chef.
So I decided to invite two people this morning who have a great influence on what I do at the Savoy.
They're gonna help me judge the challenge.
Okay, so here they are.
My mother Helen.
And of course, my wife Tana.
After all, who better to judge the mother of sauces, yeah, than my mother and the mother of my children, yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
Hello, my darling.
Nice to see you.
Oh, good to see you.
All right, please take a seat.
First up Let's start off with the battle of the tomato.
(Announcer) In the first of five rounds, Fran and Salvatore hope to get their teams off to a good start.
Fran.
I made an oyster fra diavolo.
I used the lemons.
I used the cheese.
I used the oysters.
The fettuccine.
Mom, how was that for you? - I think it was very nice.
- Thank you very much.
Lovely and tasty.
You can taste all the spices you've used in it.
Very dangerous putting the oysters in there.
But I'm telling you, it worked brilliantly.
Thank you very much.
(Gordon) Good, clever.
Yeah, you're a smart cookie, you.
I'd like him to keep thinking that, because he's called me a lot of other things.
I can't teach an old dog new tricks.
I think I like the word "smart cookie" better.
Okay, our Italian stallion.
All right, Chef.
When I got to the table, it was a squab up there, tomato sauce, the eggplant, and the red peppers.
Tana, how was that for you? I think it works.
The sauce is very tasty.
But the pasta's undercooked.
(Gordon) Tana, would you choose the dish from the blue team or would you choose the dish from the red team, please? - Red team.
- Red team.
Okay.
Back in line, please.
(Jay) What the [bleep.]
? When an Italian says, "I can make pasta," you would think, you know, if someone was Japanese and wanted to make sushi, I would damn well think they could make sushi.
Sucks.
Let's go.
Siobhan and Jay.
(Announcer) Next up, Jay and Siobhan go head to head with their hollandaise dishes.
Okay, Siobhan, just explain please.
What's the dish? I have a butterflied Cornish hen.
That's a pigeon.
Okay, Chef, it's a pigeon.
I was shocked when Chef Ramsay told me that it wasn't a Cornish hen.
And then I stood up there feeling like a complete moron.
What's all the blood there for? Her squab looks like she mopped it all over the floor and then punched the back open.
I saw a pool of blood.
I had it in the bag.
Mom, so sorry.
I mean, pink is pink, but blood is raw, right? I'm not even gonna taste it.
All right.
Jay, please.
What's the dish? It's a pan seared duck breast over some English peas.
Tana, how was that for you? The duck's a little bit too pink for me.
I thought the sauce was slightly bland.
The peas are crunchy.
That raw taste.
So no one's getting a point.
Okay, Chef.
(Gordon) Come on, guys.
Unbelievable.
(Jay) I'm pretty pissed.
I'm not gonna lie.
I just don't think it's fair.
I definitely had the better dish of the two.
Okay, let's go for the veloutés, please.
Let's go.
Right.
Okay, Holli.
Okay, it's a halibut.
So you used sea bass, not halibut.
Oh, excuse me, yes.
This is becoming slightly embarrassing for me.
One doesn't know the difference between a hen and a pigeon.
And now we don't identify the difference between a sea bass and a halibut.
Okay.
Mom, how is the sea bass? - Very tasty.
- Mm-hmm? Tana, how was it for you? The fish is cooked very nicely.
(Holli) I didn't know the fish was sea bass.
I barely even looked at it before I started cooking it, 'cause I was trying to rush.
And, Ed, explain the dish, please.
We have a pan roasted sea bass with a mushroom velouté.
Tana, if you had to choose, which one would it be? I like both dishes very much.
But I would go for the blue team's.
(Gordon) Good.
Red was good, but blue wins.
Well done, Ed.
Well done, Autumn.
Demi-glace.
Let's go.
Jason and Nilka, please.
Thank you.
Okay.
Right.
Nilka, go first, please.
I pan seared my steak.
Seasoned it with salt and pepper.
I put the mushrooms in the demi-glace and let it, like, go together.
Mom, the combination and the demi-glace, the sauce? First class.
It's lovely.
First class? Wow.
Thank you.
Jason, please.
Grilled strip steak finished in the oven with the rosemary demi-glace.
Nice.
First, perfect combination.
Mom, how was that for you? - Very tasty steak.
- Mm-hmm? Potatoes were lovely.
Out of both dishes, would you choose the one from the red team or the blue team, please? Well, that's hard, isn't it? Yeah, very hard.
Two good dishes.
You're right.
Which one would you go for? The red.
(Gordon) Red? Well done to you both.
Nilka, congratulations.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
Two to one.
(Jason) Of course I wanted the point.
I'm a little bit upset.
Yeah, I am.
[bleep.]
it.
I'm upset.
Béchamel.
Let's go.
Benjamin and Scott.
(Announcer) With the red team leading two to one, Scott and Benjamin present the last dishes in battle of the mother sauces.
Benjamin, please, what is it? Chef, I have a John Dory here with a lemon béchamel.
And I did a simple roasted potato.
Nice.
Mom, how was that for you? Very tasty.
I like the fish and the sauce.
The sauce, yeah? - Thank you.
- Tana, how was that for you? Fish is slightly dry to me.
Um, and just maybe a touch more seasoning in the sauce.
Absolutely.
(Gordon) Right.
Scott, please, the dishes? (Scott) I have a roasted duck breast.
It's on a bed of sweet potatoes and eggplant that's been scented with star anise.
Mom, how was that for you, please? I don't like the sauce.
Was not tasty at all.
And the duck? The duck was too pink for me.
So basically, you hated it, mom.
- Yes.
- Don't be scared to say.
I can't really pull miracles out of a hat.
I can only do the best that I can with what I had to work with.
It sucks.
Point to the blue.
Scott is proving to be possibly the worst cook in Hell's Kitchen.
And so [bleep.]
cocky.
He is the worst thing that ever happened to the red team.
Right.
It's a tie.
But there's one dish that should be highlighted and noticed.
And that dish belongs to (Announcer) All of the dishes have been tasted in the mother sauces challenge, and the score is tied.
Now Chef Ramsay has come up with a way to break the tie.
There's one dish that should be highlighted and noticed.
And that dish belongs to Jason.
If your dish had gone up against anyone but Nilka's, you would have won.
Congratulations.
You won it for the blue team.
Well done.
(Jason) Whoo! It felt [bleep.]
great.
Not to be arrogant or cocky, but we cannot lose.
Red team, the kitchens are in desperate need of an overhaul.
I want all the ovens absolutely spotless.
Get on your hands and knees and get every morsel of dried, burnt, charcoaled crap.
- Is that clear? (All) Yes, Chef.
Okay.
We're opening for dinner tonight.
I'm going back to the old menu.
I want both kitchens prepped.
Yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
Good.
Right, blue team, all of you are gonna be treated to a very unique, distinctive, English afternoon.
Every time I get a little bit homesick, I head straight back to this place.
You're going to enjoy it.
Red team, get changed.
Got a lot of cleaning to go, yes? - Let's go.
(All) Yes, Chef.
Well done.
Nilka? Yes, Chef? That dish was delicious.
Thank you, Chef.
(Scott) Nilka grabbed all the good ingredients that would be easy to work with.
And she didn't want to trade anything.
She didn't want to hear anything.
She was basically saying, "[bleep.]
you," to the team.
She took all the [bleep.]
that I wanted to use.
The demi-glace, the mushrooms if you're not happy, speak up or you're done.
It's your own problem.
Scott's so annoying.
"Oh, I didn't get what I wanted.
" Then you should have said something.
You know, stop making excuses for yourself.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
This is getting really depressing.
Sick of [bleep.]
losing.
(Fran) Well, it's not the first oven I've cleaned.
Let's go get in, man.
We got to get [bleep.]
done.
We lost again! I got to clean both kitchens.
Damn, I want to be outside.
Damn, I want to be in regular clothes.
I want to get dressed and see California.
Just feel the [bleep.]
air.
Yahoo! (Benjamin) Yeah, baby.
[laughter.]
(Jason) Blue Jay is flying.
Ah! King of the [bleep.]
world.
That's exactly what I feel like right now.
Today for our reward we got to go to Ye Olde King's Head, a British pub.
Good afternoon.
How are you? - Benjamin.
- Nice to meet you, Benjamin.
- Peter Dolan.
- Hi.
Jay.
Got to meet Peter, the owner, and have a couple beers and cheers to our win.
Beer's good.
- That's ye olde good.
- Nice, nice.
Did you guys see Chef Ramsay? That's what he looks like when you drop the Wellington.
[laughter.]
(Ed) Who'd he play for? He was a ranger.
That's what happened.
He broke his leg.
(Benjamin) I know Chef's a huge footballer.
I'm sure he's [bleep.]
intense as hell.
Think about they're cleaning the oven and the kitchen.
(Benjamin) They can't cook.
You think they can clean? [laughter.]
(Announcer) As the blue team enjoys their victory, the red team gets ready for heavy-duty cleaning.
There's you guys' suits.
Go ahead and put your suits on and we'll get started.
(Holli) It's, like, toxic ovens? (Scott) Yeah, pretty much.
I don't want to look like a fool anymore in little outfits like this.
It's awful.
Absolutely awful.
Oh, this sucks.
(Scott) So everybody take two ovens, right? (Holli) It's like the barbecue exploded.
(Nilka) This is disgusting.
Nasty, nasty, nasty.
I'm tired of punishments.
I don't deserve punishments.
Can't take it.
Ow! I really, really can't.
Oh, this thing is just disgusting.
(Fran) What the freak is growing in there? (Announcer) While the red team is up to their elbows in punishment, back at the pub, it's all about fun.
(Patrick) Okay, guys, here we go.
We're about to have a dart competition.
Whoever gets closest to the bulls-eye gets the prize.
- All right.
- That'll work.
- All right.
- That's gonna be a hard one.
Oh! He's out.
Okay.
He's out.
We were probably the worst dart throwers in the United States.
Autumn, see the rubber band? Autumn, remember 1922 [overlapping chatter.]
[cheering.]
Yes! Excellent! (Jay) We all officially sucked ass.
And then the one female in our group that we thought wouldn't even hit the dart board actually won, so it was pretty cool.
Here you go, my love.
Put it down here.
It is Pots and pans.
Nice.
On the card.
- The card.
- The card.
"Congratulations.
"Since you all won today's challenge, you'll each receive a set of Demeyere Cookware.
" [laughter and cheers.]
It was super fun hanging out with the guys today.
I really had a good time.
It was one of the first days I felt like I was a part of the team.
(Jay) You know what's funny? I bet you they're gonna be [bleep.]
pissed over this.
Oh! (Announcer) While the blue team bonds, back in Hell's Kitchen, Siobhan is concerned that the punishment may be hazardous to her health.
(Siobhan) I just got to be careful what kind of cleaners I use.
I can be highly allergic to some of these things.
Oh, I got a whole ton of stuff that I'm allergic to.
Dyes and perfumes and shampoos and body washes and soaps, apple juice, peanut oil, or any sort of cleaning products.
For the most part I'm highly allergic to it.
(Fran) You really don't need much chemical on the stuff at all.
No, no.
I'm just being careful, because if it touches my skin, I get hives.
(Nilka) Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
We got a lot we got to do.
Let's get moving and let's go.
Need some steel wool.
I'm gonna put a second set of gloves on.
- You're allergic? - Yeah.
What happens? Hives, Chef.
I get it in my throat, my throat closes up.
I'll try not to.
I have some hive a couple hives already.
(Fran) Siobhan was very pale.
She's pale to start off with, but she looked like she was almost a ghost.
She started to get little red dots around her neck.
I got to see the medic.
Oh, my God.
Are you all right? I'll get the medic right now.
I don't want to have you die on me.
(Announcer) After losing the challenge, the red team was punished with cleaning both kitchens.
I got to see the medic.
Oh, my God.
[bleep.]
(Announcer) Siobhan has suffered an allergic reaction to the oven cleaner I don't want to have you die on me.
(Announcer) and is being seen by the medic.
You're that, like, sensitive? Yeah.
It's probably, like, all over that suit.
(Siobhan) They had to cut my little thing off of me like I was going into surgery.
So I have to stay away from all those chemicals.
No, not yet.
We caught it fairly early on.
All right, sounds good.
(Nilka) Oh, this sucks.
My sweating and my eyes are burning.
[coughs.]
This is ridiculous.
(Announcer) It's now three hours before dinner service and the red team has moved on to the second part of their punishment.
Prepping both kitchens.
Siobhan, you all right there? Yeah, I'm just racing against the clock here.
This isn't gonna be enough potatoes.
I got all the potatoes we have.
I got 'em.
This is not enough.
Scott's not as good as he perceives to be.
It's, like, so annoying.
Anybody see a colander anywhere? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(Fran) He got here and all of the sudden, the red team is so much worse.
Does anybody know where we keep the truffles at? Does anybody know what this is? Is this lobster? Everybody just getting on my [bleep.]
nerves.
Red team can't get it together.
(Benjamin) It's really, really tense in the kitchen.
The red team's all a bunch of losers.
And it's, like, you smell blood, it's like you have to kill it.
So I want to finish service really strong and kill the red team.
We're getting close to dinner service.
(Announcer) Before the doors open for the sixth dinner service Right, guys, let's go, please.
(Announcer) Chef Ramsay gathers the teams for an announcement.
Right.
Okay.
Tonight is family night.
(All) Yes, Chef.
We're gonna be running the kids' menu.
Caesar salad, fish fingers, chicken sandwich, spaghetti.
Now there's gonna be a lot of children in the dining room.
Don't make me [bleep.]
swear tonight.
Okay, let's go, huh? (All) Yes, Chef.
- Get on your sections.
Yeah, let's go.
(Siobhan) Tonight we have this children's menu.
I'm not too worried though, because you can cook fish sticks and french fries pretty easy.
You guys are gonna communicate, right? I'm ready to win this dinner service, 'cause we know this is a do-or-die situation.
Okay, Jean-Phillipe, open Hell's Kitchen, please.
Let's go.
Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.
(Announcer) Tonight is family night in Hell's Kitchen and the dining room is filled with some of the most finicky - You're vegetarian, right? - Yes.
(Announcer) rowdy and demanding customers.
Lobster! (Announcer) Meanwhile, back in the red kitchen, Chef Ramsay is ready with the red team's first ticket.
On order, three couples, table 54.
One Risotto, one capellini, one salmon, one beef, one spaghetti.
(All) Yes, Chef.
Red team, it's [bleep.]
comeback night.
Let's go.
(Nilka) The red team has not won one dinner service.
We don't want to lose.
I got to rock this [bleep.]
the [bleep.]
out.
Come on, guys! Let's do this [bleep.]
! I'm tired of losing.
Let's go, guys, please.
Where's spaghetti? Who's cooking the spaghetti? I don't know.
Is the What do you mean "I don't know?" What do you mean? Why aren't you discussing together? [bleep.]
our first ticket.
Who's cooking the spaghetti? (Siobhan) They are.
Oh, come here, you and you.
Come here, both of you.
[bleep.]
off, will you? Who's cooking the spaghetti? I am, Chef.
Thank you.
Why? Because garnishes does sides.
Tell those [bleep.]
muppets.
- Garnish is cooking the spaghetti.
- Got it.
I need to cook the spaghetti.
Pasta? No one told me I was cooking pasta on my side.
I got the spaghetti down right now.
(Gordon) Siobhan, step one.
Pasta doesn't cook unless the [bleep.]
water's boiling.
Pasta does not cook unless the water is Boiling.
It's my fault.
(Fran) Come on! Hello? Is this brain surgery? It's pasta.
Hey, red team, what are we doing? We're gonna hold up the whole [bleep.]
diner, because we're waiting for [bleep.]
spaghetti.
Get a grip.
- You need to wake up.
- Yes.
Oh, [bleep.]
.
Not tonight.
(Announcer) While Siobhan seems to have forgotten the basics of cooking pasta No appetizers are leaving the kitchen and the customers are getting restless.
I know.
Well, did you get anything? You got the spaghetti.
You want some more bread? That'll tide us over till it gets here, i guess.
(Announcer) Meanwhile, the blue kitchen Service, please.
Let's go.
(Announcer) is getting appetizers out to their diners.
All right, I got some Caesar salads here, everyone.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
(Announcer) But Salvatore has a question.
Chef, did you say one Risotto? One Risotto, one cap two Risotto, one capellini, one truffle salad.
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
How long? One minute, Chef.
- Let's go! - Yes, Chef.
You got enough for two? I got you.
Why put more rice in there? Is it because you just found out it's two Risotto? No, no, no.
Oh, my God.
Hey, blue team, come here, all of you! The Risotto's one minute away from being cooked, he realizes we're one portion short, then they start dumping fresh rice in there.
Whose smart idea was that? Was my idea, Chef.
- Was my fault.
- Why didn't you tell me then? Apologize, Chef.
Salvatore.
Working with a cook that tells lies is 10,000 times worse than working with a chef that can't cook! You just lost my trust! How dare you! (Announcer) It's just thirty minutes into dinner service and Salvatore's been caught Why put more rice in there? No, no, no.
(Announcer) lying to Chef Ramsay.
Oh, my God.
Working with a cook that tells lies is 10,000 times worse than working with a Chef that can't cook! You just lost my trust! How dare you! Pathetic! Benjamin, watch him.
The guy's a [bleep.]
liability.
Yes, Chef.
You don't lie to your chefs and you don't lie to your fellow cooks.
That's, like, a [bleep.]
no-no.
Salvatore, now you should start the whole [bleep.]
lot again! Yes, Chef.
(Announcer) While the blue kitchen is trying to recover from Salvatore's lie about the Risotto, Chef Ramsay is looking for a straight answer from Nilka, where's the Risotto? Right here, Chef.
Nilka No lobster.
Oh, [bleep.]
.
I thought I put lobster in here, Chef.
- Oh, hey, madame.
- Yes, Chef? - You're cursing in front of the children.
- Sorry, kids.
Hey, look at me.
I need you to wake up rapidly.
Just just just cook.
You got it.
Say no more.
(Announcer) With Nilka's Risotto stalling the red kitchen, Jean-Phillipe distracts the customers.
Mmm, let me have a look at you.
What's on there? Yeah, but it's not my picture.
Whose picture is that? Chef Ramsay? And you call him donkey? No.
Well, whatever Chef Ramsay says now and then, don't use it.
I know.
When he's out of the kitchen, I keep on reminding him, "Chef, you can't do that.
" (Announcer) Meanwhile, back in the red kitchen, Chef Ramsay is looking for someone to deliver.
Don't push it too hard.
I don't know.
They kind of look nice.
That's perfect.
Pull it.
Can I put 'em in a tray? Put 'em on a tray, yep.
She's ready to go.
Fran, [bleep.]
! They're overcooked, Fran.
Come here.
They're rubber.
Just touch.
That's rubber.
That's burnt to [bleep.]
.
(Siobhan) You can't cook [bleep.]
scallops? You know? I don't understand.
This is shambolic.
It's a disaster! I swear to God I'll throw every one of you out here and Andy and I will do the [bleep.]
service, 'cause this is [bleep.]
.
This [bleep.]
is just [bleep.]
up.
So much for not [bleep.]
swearing.
(Announcer) With no food leaving the red kitchen, Chef Ramsay looks to the blue kitchen to get out entrees.
Four chicken, please.
Jason, how long we got on those four chickens? Take that.
I'll come up with the other one.
Coming through.
Coming through.
Chef, there's three.
Where's four? (Salvatore) Just in a second.
I'm still dragging a chicken.
You made me look stupid.
Don't send three [bleep.]
chicken.
Jason, I need some form of communication.
Benjamin, Ed, Jay, I need him to talk to me! (Jay) Jason gets frazzled really easy, and when he gets frazzled, he sort of shuts down.
We're in danger of looking [bleep.]
stupid if I send three chicken.
(Announcer) While Jason seems at a loss for words, back in the red kitchen Come on, Fran.
You ready for the scallops? - I'm ready.
- All right.
(Announcer) appetizers are finally going out.
- Service, please.
- There you go.
(Announcer) And Chef Ramsay is eager to move on to entrees.
Let's go.
Two beef, two Wellington.
You guys got that? Yes, yes, yes.
Got you.
Two beef, two Wellington.
- Yes, Chef.
- How long? Four minutes to window.
- No, Chef.
- How long? Eight minutes, Chef.
Eight minutes? Eight minutes.
Just cook, work.
So the beef's not even started? They're cooking right now, Chef.
I was told one beef all day.
You were told one beef all day? Oui, Chef.
Who told you that? Uh, my teammates, Chef.
I was just like, "Who the [bleep.]
are you?" Listen to the tickets.
Don't blame us.
Wellingtons, where are they? Right here, Chef.
In the window.
You can only work with the teammates that you're given.
But it's difficult when you're working with people that don't have a lot of talent or skill in a fine-dining restaurant.
It's just impossible.
Oh, [bleep.]
.
I just I I I I don't know where to [bleep.]
go.
I can't take it much more.
I can't take it.
It's not even pink.
It's not even cooked.
Just put it down! Now touch it! - Are you colorblind? - No, Chef.
Get them in the oven! Come here, you.
- What the [bleep.]
are you doing? - Nothing, Chef.
But you know it's not even cooked! It's raw, Scott! They're stone cold in the middle! All right, Chef.
No problem.
It won't happen again, I promise.
I promise.
Yeah, I'm pissed off at the whole thing right now.
Yes, they were undercooked, but I wanted to get it out and I didn't think they were too bad undercooked that they wouldn't be able to go out.
On order, six couples, table 41.
One salmon, one beef, two spaghetti, two [bleep.]
fish fingers.
Can everybody tell Scott he's got a beef on? (All) Scott, you got a beef on! Just in case.
Thank you.
(Announcer) While Scott tries to get control of the meat station, over in the blue kitchen, Benjamin takes control of his team.
No, that's not good.
- Little more.
- Yeah, go a little longer.
You got to get the pan ripping hot.
I'm a natural leader.
I really do push the team together.
I love to lead by example.
- Garnish, Ben! - Yes, Chef! - Here you go, Chef.
- Very nice, those potatoes.
Thank you, Chef.
Jason, they had three spaghetti sauces, okay? - Let's get 'em warm.
- All right.
We got it, guys.
Come on, let's go.
(Jay) Ben's aggressive.
A lot of guys need to feel like they're the leader in the kitchen.
- How we looking on the chicken? - Fourty-five seconds on chicken.
I don't need to argue with him just yet, so I'll let him keep feeling like that.
Good job, guys.
(Announcer) Under Ben's direction, the blue team has gotten back on track and now Chef Ramsay gathers the red team All of you.
All of you! That's you, ditzy! (Announcer) for one simple question.
Is that the best roast chicken and is that the best [bleep.]
beef requested mid-rare? Always touch it.
Always touch it.
Touch it, touch it, touch.
[bleep.]
this.
No.
No, it's not.
- Chicken's dry.
- Where's the gratin on top? It got pulled off.
It was on there before.
Look at me! - Is that the best? (All) No, Chef.
- Is that the best? (All) No, Chef.
Is that the best? Do me a favor.
[bleep.]
off, all of you! Get out! Get out! And don't you dare switch it off! I'll finish it! [bleep.]
off! - I would love to stay - Get out! Out! Get out! Get out! I'm sick of this [bleep.]
.
Get out! (Announcer) After ninety minutes of problem Touch it.
Why don't you just touch it? (Announcer) after problem - Is that the best? (All) No, Chef.
- Is that the best? (All) No, Chef.
(Announcer) the red kitchen has suffered a complete meltdown Do me a favor.
[bleep.]
off, all of you! Get out! (Announcer) and Chef Ramsay has had enough.
Get out! And don't you dare switch it off.
I'll finish it.
[bleep.]
off.
I would love to stay Get out! Out! Get out! Get out! I'm sick of this [bleep.]
.
Get out! That's really embarrassing.
What happened? Scott, come in here with me and I'll finish this one.
- Yeah, please, yeah? - Okay.
(Announcer) Now Chef Ramsay and his trusted sous chefs Scott and Andy will complete the red kitchen's dinner service.
Three spaghetti, one tagliatelle, yes? Three spaghetti, one Oh, my God.
Yeah.
What the [bleep.]
they do to this place? - Wow, they're really bad, huh? - Yeah.
(Announcer) While sous chefs Scott and Andy cook, the red team complains.
What's going on then? What's with the communication? I don't know.
(Nilka) The steak wasn't good.
You don't have any backups sitting up there just in case? All the techniques you guys do here are completely different from what we were doing on the other side.
Yeah, but, Scott, the rest of us look like [bleep.]
idiots.
I've never been thrown out of a dinner service, and I'm really aggravated because it was Scott on our team who brought everybody down.
Damn, I want to go back in the [bleep.]
kitchen.
(Announcer) While the red team is busy making excuses, Scott and Andy are hard at work pushing out entrees.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Scott, please.
Two beef, two chicken.
Coming right now.
- Is that the chicken? - Here's the chicken right here.
Service, please.
(Announcer) The red side is finally back on track.
Meanwhile, back in the blue kitchen - Two beef, two chicken.
(All) Yes, Chef.
Go, come on.
Let's push it out.
Chicken coming right now, Chef.
Pump it out.
Stay focused.
Chicken's so good.
(Gordon) That's cooked perfect, the Wellington.
So good.
Perfectly cooked salmon.
You're right.
That is good.
Service, please.
It's really good.
(Announcer) Within an hour, almost all of the entrees are served.
Last table.
Two chicken, two beef.
Both beef medium-well.
How long, guys? How long? Right now.
I think we had excellent teamwork.
I think we did great.
You know, we gonna run this [bleep.]
.
[bleep.]
the red team.
Push out the desserts, Jay.
Right behind you.
Coming down.
Desserts.
Is that a big wow or what? I love it.
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Yum-yum.
(Woman) Sounds good.
- Yum.
- Yum.
(Announcer) While the blue team gets out all the desserts, Chef Ramsay calls the red team back to the kitchen.
All your entrees are served, everything's done.
Now come back and do something you're good at.
[bleep.]
cleaning.
See if you can do something as a team.
I'm clearing the station.
Clear down, guys, yes? (All) Yes, Chef.
Let's get one thing right, shall we? Red team lost.
I have never, ever witnessed such a disastrous service in all my [bleep.]
life.
It was, across the board, the most disorganized service ever! Okay.
Do me a favor.
Piss off upstairs.
Decide two nominees for elimination.
Now [bleep.]
off out of here.
Leave me alone.
(Nilka) I don't know what the [bleep.]
is going on with the red team.
I just I had it.
I [bleep.]
had it.
I had it.
I had it.
I don't want to feel like this and Ahh! It's just, it's bad.
Well, we have to think about two people to put up.
Yes, we do.
[sighs.]
(Scott) My two choices would be Siobhan and Nilka.
Siobhan, you don't have the experience.
You try, but you don't try hard enough.
(Siobhan) I just think it's [bleep.]
.
I've taken criticism every time I've made a mistake.
I've never made that same cooking mistake ever again.
And why me? I want to hear what you got to say.
It just seemed like there was a lot of food coming back, that's all.
I don't know.
The Risotto came back once with no lobster.
I take that back.
At the very beginning if my choice is between you and Fran, I probably would say probably Fran.
I don't think my service was that bad.
I don't.
It just seems like you're so scattered sometimes.
Like, you just get moving around, moving around, moving around, but not [bleep.]
getting accomplished.
I just get things done.
You're running around like a chicken without a head.
How much [bleep.]
getting done? I don't know.
A lot of [bleep.]
getting done.
I'm the only one that works in fine dining restaurants and the only one that has experience.
There's, like, no experience here at all.
(Siobhan) Scott can be overbearing.
Extremely, like, arrogant and overbearing.
He's Mr.
Know-it-all and just gets to be a pain in the ass.
He's gonna all of us who the worst cook is.
So you guys will be able to answer that honestly.
If he asks me who is the worst cook here, I would say you.
I definitely would have to say Scott and I'm having a hard time with the second nomination.
Who do you think, Nilka? I don't know what to think.
My head is just blown.
Okay.
Fran.
First nominee and why.
Scott, Chef.
Scott.
Why? Scott has totally blown apart since he's gotten to our team.
He's had two bad dinner services.
He just has a lot of talk, but he can't seem to produce anything.
Second nominee and why.
Um, I believe I'm the second nominee, Chef.
Why? I'm not really sure why.
If not you, who? I think Siobhan should be the second nominee.
I think she's always second guessing herself.
And she's got the jitters all the time.
Okay.
Nilka, tell me why Fran is nominated over Siobhan.
Help me out there.
I think Siobhan's shown a lot of progress and growth.
She's a team player, she always help out, she moves quickly.
And Fran's not a team player? Fran, you know, she goes too slow.
Siobhan had to help her cook the scallops.
(Fran) It's the first time I was on fish.
Everybody that's been on a new station asks the someone that was on it before.
I didn't She wasn't making my stuff.
Who is the best chef on the red team? - Chef, I feel like I'm the best.
- Absolutely not.
You just take over, saying, "Oh, I did this.
I did that," and want to gloat and rub it in our faces like we [bleep.]
It's not gloating in your face.
It's letting you know the truth.
If you do it, you do it.
We don't need to hear it, because we been doing it before you.
None of you guys work in fine dining restaurants.
You could have surprised us the way you produced.
(Announcer) The red team lost, but there seems to be some confusion as to who the nominees should be.
(Gordon) Who is the best chef on the red team? - Chef, I feel like I'm the best.
- Absolutely not.
You just take over, saying, "Oh, I did this.
I did that," and want to gloat and rub it in our faces like we [bleep.]
It's not gloating in your face.
- It's letting you know the truth.
- No, but own up to it.
If you do what you do, we don't need to hear it, because we've been doing it before you.
(Scott) None of you guys work in fine dining restaurants.
You could have surprised us the way you produced too the last two days.
Thank you, Fran, yeah, you as well.
You've had a pretty easy ride the whole way through.
Yeah, I guess.
Injure your hand a little bit and you get treated - like a little [bleep.]
princess.
- Oh, yeah, okay.
Wow.
Great teamwork there.
Fran, Scott, step forward with Siobhan.
Yeah.
Fran.
Why the [bleep.]
do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I've got the guts to stay here and I'd love to stay here, because I have now, I think, come into my own.
I learn from my mistakes 100%.
I never do them twice.
Okay, Siobhan.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I take pride in my work and I put my best effort forward.
Use the little bit of knowledge that I have.
I have passion and I ask a lot of questions.
You shouldn't be asking simple [bleep.]
questions.
It should take care of itself.
This isn't culinary school.
The common sense things are driving the red team down big time.
Scott, why are you back here? I was voted up, Chef.
I don't agree with it.
I've had a tough couple services, but I'm a hard worker.
Obviously, you know that.
I just bust ass every day.
I have a calmness about me during service no matter what the stresses bring.
By no means I'm not the worst cook on this team by far.
I'm the best cook on this team.
The best leader on this team.
I can accomplish I can't take it anymore.
- Fran - Yes, Chef? Siobhan [bleep.]
off back in line.
This team will [bleep.]
die if I'm not here.
Scott, give me your jacket.
I can't take it anymore.
I cannot take it.
I kept waiting and I waited and waited, but it didn't happen.
- Good night.
- Good night, Chef.
I certainly am the best cook on the red team, but when you're working with teammates that aren't as qualified to be there as you are, it makes it hard.
But at the end of the day, I'm still gonna go on and continue to be a great chef.
Listen.
And listen carefully.
I am not finished.
Benjamin.
Get your ass up here.
Take off your jacket.
Yes, Chef.
Get in the red team.
The one thing missing in that team is a leader.
Run it and get it together.
Yes, Chef.
Good night! Get out! (Fran) Ben's our new teammate and hopefully things will get better.
I mean, really, who wants to go down in history that the whole red team sucked? (Jay) I'm happy that Ben was picked to go to the red team, because I feel like this is my team versus his team.
So I'm definitely gonna step up for sure.
(Benjamin) I'm on the red team now, so I'm gonna bust my ass for the red team.
The blue team, I will [bleep.]
whip their asses in the kitchen.
(Gordon) If Scott could cook as well as he talks, he'd be the winner of Hell's Kitchen.
Unfortunately for him, he can't.
(Announcer) Next time on Hell's Kitchen I don't wanna let you go.
(Announcer) Ben has a new team Sorry, Ben.
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
(Announcer) and a bad attitude.
Maybe I'll die before the next service.
(Holli) Now we're a team.
Don't be a [bleep.]
about it.
I'm gonna go hang myself.
(Announcer) But when he tries to take over the red kitchen all hell breaks loose.
- Come on, Benjamin! - Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Engage your brain! (Announcer) In the blue kitchen, Jay finally has his chance to shine.
It's his team versus my team.
Just cut myself.
It's pretty bad.
(Announcer) But a serious injury Feeling light-headed? Yeah.
(Announcer) may take him out of the competition for good.
[siren wails.]
I can't blow this out.
(Announcer) And when it's time to send somebody home I'm getting sick of this! Where's the team? (Announcer) a huge surprise catches everybody off guard.
Get back in line.
(Announcer) It's a shocking conclusion Your time has run out.
(Announcer) of Hell's Kitchen.
