Hell's Kitchen (2005) s13e06 Episode Script
13 Chefs Compete
Previously on Hell's Kitchen The teams faced a palate challenge that tested their ability to identify proteins.
Your time starts now.
Katie and Roe struggled - Chicken! - Chicken, Chef.
No! - Veal, Chef.
- No! And racked up a lot of the red team's total time.
- What are you doing? - Come on.
Oh, my God.
When it was the blue team's turn to test their palates This is my chance at redemption.
Frank was quick to identify - Elk.
- Yes! Really? Great job.
And Sterling was adamant.
It's alligator, man! - Alligator! - Yes! Thank you! You ain't from the south if you can't recognize that [Bleep.]
.
And the blue team - 38 seconds! - Duck! Yes! Eked out a victory with just over 30 seconds remaining.
We won! Whoo! The men enjoyed play time in the pool with olympic water polo players, while the women suffered through a punishment Chug, chug, chug, chug.
One down.
What did she drink? That somehow led Jen and Sade to a war of words.
Don't threaten me.
If I was threatening you, you would know.
During family night, the blue team had one of their best performances yet Five minutes to window.
You got it.
Four minutes to the garnish! - I'm ready to go! - New York strip.
Let's go.
Bryant, it's cooked beautifully, that steak.
Thank you, Chef.
While on the red team There's 100 guests waiting to be [Bleep.]
fed.
Nothing's coming out! Kalen and Katie I can't make the pasta cook any faster! Were truly sluggish with the appetizers, and Roe Roe! Three times, where's the fries? Was completely lost on garnish.
You're not bothered about the execution.
I am.
I am bothered, Chef.
Come on then! The men won, and the women nominated - Kalen.
- And Myself, Chef.
But Chef Ramsay felt Katie.
Deserved another chance.
- Back in line.
- Thank you, Chef.
Kalen, give me your jacket.
And that put an end to Kalen's dream of becoming head Chef at Gordon Ramsay pub & grill at caesars Atlantic city.
Fire Uh, uh Fire Whoo whoo whoo whoo The way you walk and talk Really sets me off To a full alarm, child Yes, it does The way you swerve and curve Really wrecks my nerves And I'm so excited, child The way you squeeze and tease Knocks me to my knees 'Cause I'm smokin' Baby, yeah, yeah When you're hot, you're hot You really shoot your shot You're dyn-o-mite, child Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Fire What I said, child, ow Fire Uh-huh Fire And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out of here.
They're just gonna keep tearing themselves down.
Pitiful.
Blue team, I think we do have the momentum now.
We got the girls, like, where we want 'em.
They rattling.
Doesn't get any better than this.
We're at the fifth service, honey, and you've rocked out.
Like, why would you ever put yourself up there? Because the person that I would have said, my life would have been hell here for the next few days.
Who? Sade.
Sade needs to go home.
She's too in your face.
I'm going hard on everybody.
She's, like, too much.
So throw another person under the bus.
Now I know better.
After a bit of a wake-up call, Katie is more determined than ever, and with a new day, the rest of the chefs are determined as well Let's go, boys.
To tackle whatever Chef Ramsay puts in front of them.
- Good morning.
- Morning, Chef.
I thought it'd be nice to leave Hell's Kitchen together and go shopping.
Let's go.
Come on.
Yes, Chef.
Nothing like fresh ingredients.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Here comes the ingredients.
It doesn't get any fresher than this.
Old McDonald had No, we gonna do a remix.
Old lil' Sterling had a pig Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink And Aaron's eyes I want to go Doink, doink, doink, doink, doink In today's challenge, you'll all be working with lamb chop, pork chop, and veal chop.
Two members from each team will herd their animal into their team's cages.
Yes, Chef.
Whatever animal you pen, that is the chop you'll work with in the kitchen.
Because there's an odd number on the blue team, let me know who's sitting out.
I can catch an animal.
I butcher animals all the time.
I'll sit out.
You'll sit out? I'm bummed out, but I'm here for the team.
Are we ready? Yes, Chef! On your mark, get set, go shopping! Let's go.
In today's pen your protein challenge Easy.
Easy.
Each team has broken up into pairs Barely tap his tail, dog.
And must herd the animal they want to cook with into the pen bearing its name.
- There you go.
- Grab his thigh.
The team that pens their protein the fastest gets first choice of starches.
Come on, guys.
They got their first one in.
Pick 'em up! Come on, Roe.
Close your legs.
I wanted to get that pig in as fast as possible because we have limited availability to the starches, so it's like a race.
Hold the gate.
Shut the gate.
Jennifer, Roe, show them who's boss.
Yes.
While the women take a gentle approach Come on, buddy.
Come on, buddy.
Ah! The men Pick him up! Take a more hands-on approach.
Pick him up.
Oh! There you go.
There you go.
Go! Go! Good job, Santos.
Good job.
Come on.
Come on.
There you go.
Grits.
Grits.
Couscous.
Couscous.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm excited about grabbing these animals.
I hang out on lamb farms all the time.
Just pick him up! Open the gate! Go! Steve, that's a goat.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
It's a goat.
[Bleep.]
.
Get the goat out of there.
You got to get the lamb, guys.
- [Bleep.]
! - Pull it out! The lamb's around the corner.
I want a lamb.
Big surprise.
I mean, look at Steve.
He doesn't look like the [Bleep.]
brightest light bulb.
Get your starch! Hurry up.
Go, go, go, go, go! - The risotto.
- Eight, seven, six Open the gate! Open the gate! Open the gate! Four, three, - two - Corn, corn, corn.
One, stop.
Both teams have selected their proteins and starches.
Okay, change into clean Chef whites.
I'll see you in the kitchen.
And now it's time to cook.
Are you happy with the fresh ingredients that you chose? Yes, Chef.
Now each Chef on your team will make a dish, but when it comes to judging, I'll only taste one of each protein.
Sterling, you sat out the first part of the challenge, but that doesn't mean you will not be cooking today.
Choose one combination from your team.
Pork.
There's three of us making pork, and we can only bring one plate up.
I'm gonna show you guys that I can cook and that I'm gonna beat you.
Your 30 minutes starts now.
Let's go.
- Come on, ladies.
- Here we go.
Let's go, guys.
Every minute counts.
The chance to shine as individuals.
Let's go.
I'm gonna do the veal with some chanterelle mushrooms, some brussel sprouts.
Veal chop is gonna go with a potato puree with a little bit of Moroccan spices.
I'm making, like, a fennel apple slaw, a little apple sauce.
So what are you making, Roe? Pork chops with a potato hash with brussel leaves.
I feel perfectly fine competing against Roe.
I feel like she's just overly [Bleep.]
confident.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
It's gonna be amazing.
Don't say it's amazing until you actually [Bleep.]
prove that it's amazing, first of all.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Do we have time? Uh, bottom shelf with the no, no.
Time, what time? How much time we need? Last ten minutes, men.
Has that just gone in? Yes, it's just gone in, Chef.
Why would you put the protein in oh, come on.
Dude, do you see the size of your veal chop? It's like two pounds.
You haven't put it in the oven yet? Really? - It's raw.
- I know, Chef.
I know.
Listen, cut it in half.
Get the [Bleep.]
.
Right behind, right behind, right behind.
Just under five minutes to go.
Yes, Chef.
Start plating.
Let's go.
Behind! Behind! Behind! Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
This [Bleep.]
better be perfectly cooked.
My dish is not gonna be a failure.
Behind.
Behind.
Coming down.
Coming down.
Gotta start plating.
It's now or never.
Ten Nine Eight You guys, get it on the plate.
Let's go.
Now.
Three, two, One And serve.
Okay to decide which chops you're gonna be presenting to me More than one chef from each team created a dish using the same protein and starch.
This is basically a corn puree with a spiced lamb.
Now the teams must carefully decide which is the right one to present.
I'm worried about it being a little rare.
- Okay, so let's go with this.
- Okay.
My temperature's spot-on.
I'm on the money.
Help me out here 'cause we can't make a decision.
I go with this one.
I like the glaze better.
Time's up.
All right, Sterling it is.
Sterling it is.
My plate's pretty sexy, and I know it tastes good because I tasted it.
Put the chosen ones up.
You know what, Sterling? You're up, dude.
[Bleep.]
it.
Let's go.
Couscous with almond, pear, fig, braised Swiss chard.
What do you have? Mediterranean zucchini, red pepper, onion.
- What do we want? - My temp is great.
- Tash.
- La Tash.
All right, lamb.
I did a grilled corn puree, cilantro, pine nuts, lime juice, salt, pepper.
Lamb, Sade, I like the presentation.
What are we gonna do on this? Caramelized the pork, and then it's a apple fennel slaw.
I'm thinking Roe.
- I like Roe.
- Okay.
I like the way her meat looks.
We made the right decision.
I'm not happy.
They're gonna go with Roe's dish because it looks [Bleep.]
pretty.
This is [Bleep.]
[Bleep.]
.
Okay.
I will not be judging your dishes alone.
From their meat-centric restaurant Animal, please say hello to Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo.
Great to see you both.
- How are you, Chef? - Good to see you.
- Nice to see you too.
- Welcome back.
Nice to see you.
Please, take your seat.
Oh, my God.
Animal is an amazing restaurant.
Like, I wish that I can get a reservation there.
Chef Jon and Vinny and I will be judging your dishes on a scale of one to five stars, so each dish is out of a possible 15 stars.
Veal, let's go.
First up is executive Chef Fernando with his veal chop and yam puree.
Now let's hope it's cooked perfectly.
I know my temperature's spot-on.
No worry.
Great sear, and you cooked it beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
Vinny, how is that for you? I got to be honest, there's no personality in the dish.
Very much the same color, a lot of brown.
Fernando, everything should be perfect.
What the hell is wrong with you? I thought it needed a little bit of salt, but overall I didn't think it was that bad of a dish.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chef.
Vinny, please, scores out of five? Where are you on that one? - Three.
- Jon? Three.
Interesting.
Great.
Good job.
Good job.
I truthfully know my dish would have been way better than that.
I'm hoping that the red team messes up and we win this.
Okay, La Tasha.
Let's go, please.
Thank you.
- Let's go, Tash.
- Go, Tash.
I can't wait for my veal to kick his ass.
Today I've prepared a pan-seared veal chop accompanied by a pear, fig, and toasted walnut couscous, and braised chard.
The dish has flavor.
The herbs really come through from where you basted.
The bite that I just had was seasoned really well.
- Just needs a touch of acidity, just lift it.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you.
Good job, Tash.
Jon, please.
Wow.
La Tasha's veal puts the women ahead by one point.
The lamb, please.
Let's go.
And the men are hoping Steve's rack of lamb with pea and mint risotto can make up the difference I didn't think it was half that bad.
Needs some salt.
But he gets a mediocre response.
And I'm gonna go three stars.
Yeah? Not bad.
While Sade's spiced lamb with blackberry reduction and pureed corn I like the accompaniments with it.
It's got that fragrance to it.
And the corn is sweet.
Adds to the women's lead.
Three.
Good job.
Good job, Sade.
Going into the final round, the men are two points behind.
This is the last protein.
Sterling, let's go.
And they're counting on Sterling's grill - How you doing, gentlemen? - How you doing? Nice to meet you.
I'm 100.
And Southern charm to score big.
I'm talkin' about AK-47, AR-15 bullets, y'all.
I done prepared for y'all a grilled chop, and I've glazed it with a honey chipotle glaze.
The grits are great, nice and creamy.
Did you cook 'em with milk? No, with a lot of love.
Oh, nice.
Salt will really bring out all the flavors I appreciate it.
That you put and all that love that you put in there.
Just needs to be refined more.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, thank you.
Good job.
Thank you.
[Bleep.]
.
If Sterling loses this for the team, I'm gonna [Bleep.]
lose it.
Sterling's pork has earned only nine stars.
It's 28 to 21.
- Next one.
Roe, let's go.
- Here you go, Roe.
And now Roe needs just eight stars to win it for the women.
Already off the bat, I feel that I have him beat by a mile.
Today I've prepared a bone-in grilled pork chop.
It sits over a brussel leaf hash.
The presentation looks nice.
The chop itself, you can see it's a little bit moister.
Interesting.
Vinny, how was that? You're gonna hate me for saying this It's the final round of the chop challenge, and the blue team is currently leading by seven stars.
It's 28 to 21.
But Roe is yet to have her turn.
Today I've prepared a bone-in grilled pork Cho over a brussel leaf hash.
She will need just eight stars to clinch the victory for the red team.
Vinny, how was that? You're gonna hate me for saying this, but thought it was kind of boring.
The honey with it was actually too sweet with the apple.
Are you kidding me? It looks nice, but it doesn't [Bleep.]
taste good? The dish is confusing because this garnish should be with a completely different dish.
It's all kind of just confused a little bit.
Thank you.
Can we see the dish you dropped, please, Jennifer? I think Jennifer's pork dish is flat.
In my heart of hearts, I really liked what I put on that plate.
I just caramelized my pork chop, and then I did, for a little bit of texture, a apple, fennel, red onion slaw.
Vinny, how was that for you? Better than the other dish.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Wow.
After eating that one, it makes me actually think less - of the other one.
- Yeah.
I knew it.
I'm so [Bleep.]
mad.
Vinny, what's your score for Roe's dish? Out of five, please.
One.
Two.
Men, congratulations.
Two in a row! Let's keep this momentum up, guys.
Your boy done pulled it through for the blue team.
Thank you, lord God.
I want you to thank these two extraordinary chefs.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- As always, thank you so much, Chef.
- Thanks, Chef.
Thank you.
- I look forward to seeing you at Animal, yes? - Bye, guys.
Bye.
Thank you again.
Men, congratulations.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
I've decided to send you to Santa Barbara wine country.
Yeah! You will enjoy a gourmet lunch, fantastic wine.
Yes! Now go and get ready.
- Yes, Chef! - Yes.
Yeah, we won! Here we go.
Whoo! Santa Barbara.
Yeah! Come on, guys! Good job! Whoo! Ladies, for tomorrow night's dinner service, I've added a rib-eye special, served with a stunning bone marrow bordelaise sauce.
The bones have been delivered straight from the farm.
I want you to extract all the bone marrow.
After that, I want all the stocks prepared.
That means prepping hundreds of pounds of vegetables.
Yeah? Yes, Chef.
Get out of here.
It's gonna be a long day.
Princess perfect Jennifer is going to be unbearable.
Everybody needs to get on the bone marrow right now.
Oh, God.
This is gonna be a long [Bleep.]
day.
It's the challenge win that I wanted too, is to go on a wine tasting.
Hello, ladies.
Aw, ladies! Great job, ladies.
You guys got bones to pick.
The guys get to go taste wines and go on a [Bleep.]
wine tour while I'm stuck with a bunch of bitches that can't pull their [Bleep.]
weight.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
Those femur bones, I'll let them bitches do that.
I'm not sawing [Bleep.]
because you overlooked me, so [Bleep.]
you.
Better luck over there? [Bleep.]
no.
Never mind.
This is one of those times that I wish I were a boy.
Let's drink some wine, boys.
Oh, it's so beautiful out here.
Whee! I love Santa Barbara.
It's so great for the blue team to get out.
We're gonna go drink some wine, have some nice lunch in the vineyards.
Can't ask for anything better.
We definitely earned this after working our asses off.
Wait, hold on.
Heads up.
Who is this guy? Who is this guy? Man, we ain't trespassing, are we? This is a private party, buddy.
You don't belong here.
Hey! Marino! How are you doing, guys? This is, like, just getting better and better.
You know that actually I'm a professional wine drinker? [Bleep.]
.
I've done a wine tasting before.
You know, that's what we're going to do.
Give three nice sniff.
This is what we're gonna taste, okay? This is the glass.
We're just gonna go "glug, glug, glug, glug.
" If it wasn't for Roe, I wouldn't have no friends today.
To Roe.
To Roe.
Appreciate it.
All right.
Let's hustle up.
This is too greasy.
What is that? When we're going back down? You have to constantly skim stocks, and we have a lovely little buzzer that's gonna go off when we need to come back downstairs.
There it is.
There it is, and we're out.
We have to strain everything and skim everything, and then we can go back upstairs.
This sucks, man.
Then we get to come back downstairs when the buzzer goes off To do another batch.
We just got to get this [Bleep.]
done, and then we can sit.
Home, sweet home.
Yeah, baby.
Did you roast those bones right? Make sure to skim, skim, skim.
This has been the longest day of my life.
Oh, my God.
[Bleep.]
Tired, man.
After a long, eventful day It's definitely time to say good night.
And some much needed rest, both teams seem energized.
Whoo! Hoo, hoo, ha! - Yeah, buddy! - Up top.
The women have put yesterday's challenge loss behind them.
Let's go.
- You using all these? - Probably.
But the men on the other hand, despite their victory Steve, I love you man.
Love you too, brother.
Not really.
Seem to have some personality conflicts within the team.
Excuse me? Don't be comin' at me like that.
You got something to say, you say it to my face.
I do say it to your face.
If you talk as much as you cook, you'll be good.
You talk a big game, but you ain't [Bleep.]
.
Guys, come on.
Guys, back the [Bleep.]
up.
Just moments before the doors are set to open for dinner service If you talk as much as you cook, you'll be good.
You talk a big game, but you ain't [Bleep.]

You ain't [Bleep.]
[Bleep.]
.
Members of the blue team are busy fighting each other.
Ladies, good afternoon.

Just look.
Just look at the scallops.
Look.
That's how they came.
They were fine when I flipped them, and they stuck to the bottom of the pan.
They were fine when you flipped them? I put them in a new pan.
Like, seriously? All we want you to do is this.
Like, shut up.
Like, shut up.
Like, to prevent that from happening and re-fired them.
Don't talk.
Shut up.
So touch them.
What would you do? Re-fire, Chef.
You've just confirmed you've got no standards.
And you, you can't [Bleep.]
count.
one lobster missing, and that is the best, right? Touch them.
They won't bite you.
They're dead, okay? Yes, Chef.
I'm feeling bad for the ocean right now, and all the little scallops that we had to kill for this unfortunate dinner service.
I'm sorry, guys.
There may be a superstar sprinter in the red kitchen Come on.

guests in the dining room and at the Chef's tables, but a slow start from Santos on meat and Steve on fish means diners aren't eating, and Chef Ramsay Hey, you two.
Come here, you two.
You two, come here.
Has requested a private meeting.
I got a V.
I.
P.
guest on the [Bleep.]
Chef's table.
You've [Bleep.]
given up, and you're just lost.
- Get a grip! - Yes, Chef! Why? Poor execution Chef.
It won't happen again.
[Bleep.]
wake up! - Heard, Chef! - Yes, Chef.
While Steve and Santos start over on their first order of entrees, over in the red kitchen I want a risotto for the Chef's table with a scallops.
Yes, Chef! Chef Ramsay has an important appetizer order for the women.
How long do you need, Katie? Scallops, 1 1/2.
Can you speed up, Katie, or is that it, you switched off? Yes, Chef! The pressure is so on me right now.
I know I have to nail this.
These people are gonna have the best scallops they've ever had in their [Bleep.]
lives.
I'm ready.
I'm walking.
I'm ready to walk.
You got a tail for me too, yeah? Yes.
Walk scallops.
I'm with you.
To your left, Chef.
Hot plate.
Risotto? Yes, Chef? Hey, madam, scallops are here.
- Yes, Chef.
- Lobster? Right now.
Right now.
Stop! All of you, come here.
All of you! Taste that.
- Add salt.
- Salt.
So that doesn't stink of garlic to anybody here? Yes, it does, Chef.
- Or you're just kissing Roe's ass.
- No, Chef.
And that's the scallop for the V.
I.
P.
guest? You and you, [Bleep.]
off.
Get out! Get out! Raw garlic.
Raw scallops.
One risotto.
- You, one scallops.
- Yes, Chef.
You both [Bleep.]
definitely deserve to get the [Bleep.]
out of the kitchen.
Pull it.
Pull it.
It's hot in Hell's Kitchen.
Katie and Roe have failed to deliver appetizers to the gold medal-winning guest I have Sade yelling in my [Bleep.]
ear, and Chef's screaming at me.
And now must take the walk of shame up to the dorms.
Two lambs.
Back in the blue kitchen Service.
On order, 2 covers, table Entree, two halibut, two rib eye.
Heard, Chef! Chef Ramsay is desperate to pick up the pace on entrees.
How long you need, Santos? Five minutes on your entree, right? On the entree coming up, five minutes? I'm talking to you, Santos.
Hey, Santos.
- Santos! Call back! - Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef! Encourage your brigade.
Yes, Chef! Five minutes.
Five minutes? Yes.
Santos, man, you just need to take a deep breath and Dude, I'm about to beat [Bleep.]
right [Bleep.]
now.
Calm down and just cook.
How long on halibut, Steve? Steve? These people need to get their damn food! Rib eye? Rib eye walking.
Hold on! Rib eye walking, Chef.
Halibut? Walking to the window in 15 seconds, Chef! Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
I look over, and Steve is just straight in the [Bleep.]
weeds.
Give me a sizzle pan.
Give me a sizzle pan to keep my halibut on.
I don't know that Hell's Kitchen has a weed whacker big enough for this [Bleep.]
.
I need more sauce.
I need more sauce.
Every time.
Every [Bleep.]
time.
Every [Bleep.]
time.
Yeah.
All of you, come here.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
You and you, [Bleep.]
off.
You, cook the halibut.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
[Bleep.]
.
I don't want to get [Bleep.]
kicked out of this thing.
With more chefs than food leaving the blue kitchen, Chef Ramsay looks to Katie's replacement on fish Ashley? Yes, Chef! - Get a grip.
- Yes, Chef.
And La Tasha, who has replaced Roe on appetizers to deliver on the order for the Chef's table.
Keep working.
Keep talking.
Keep talking, ladies.
Come on, ladies.
Come on.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to walk first risotto.
How you looking on that lobster tail? Check lobster tail.
Coming up right now.
Got to get the scallops off.
Heard.
Two minutes.
I'm sorry.
The lobster? Lobster, walking up in two seconds.
Make sure it's done.
Make sure it's done.
I can hold this risotto.
- Is this the Chef's table? - Yup.
What are they doing, Andi, huh? Keep talking, ladies.
Come on.
Where you guys at? Hey, hey.
Hey, come here.
I'm not gonna embarrass myself for the third time in front of that table.
Look at them.
Look.
Just touch them.
I'm jumping on scallop.
Hey.
Hey, you.
Hey, come here.
Let me whisper something very important in your ear.
Very important.
[Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
Get out! It's an hour and a half into dinner service.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, come here.
And Ashley's failed attempt at scallops Hey.
Hey, you.
Hey, come here.
Let me whisper something very important in your ear.
Has earned her a secret request.
Very important.
[Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
Get out! With a reduced crew left in both kitchens We have a lobster risotto for you, and we have scallops for you.
The remaining chefs have pulled together.
Service, please.
Halibut to your right, Chef.
And have found their rhythm.
Oh, wow! And delivery entrees to their final tables.
- Thanks, guys.
A pleasure, man.
- Thanks so much, you guys.
Gentlemen, line up please.
Quickly.
I was ready for a successful, smooth service tonight.
It was about as smooth as the [Bleep.]
wrinkles on my forehead.
Embarrassing.
I can't see the talent I thought I had, and I'm actually worried because I don't even think I've got a winner on the heels of tonight's service.
There's no winning team.
Blue team, red team, think of two individuals that you will lose from your team.
I wouldn't base it just on tonight's service.
Time to clean the house.
Get out of here.
I plan on working for Chef Ramsay, and look, I mean, this is a competition, and the less people that are here, the better, so drop that dead weight.
However this is gonna go, we need to decide it now and get on with this [Bleep.]
night, dude.
Seriously.
So if you had to lose two, who would you choose? I have to go with Sterling.
The past six services I don't know, man.
That's just who I'm going with.
Next, please.
I mean, I say Sterling.
I'm gonna have to say Sterling.
Sterling, the reason I am putting your name you ain't got to explain, man.
All right.
Sounds good then.
I thank my teammate as haters.
You know what haters stand for? I don't deserve to go home, man.
I'm better than that.
I'm saying Steve.
I got my ass kicked.
I mean, yeah, but we're judging it out of six nights.
It ain't how you start.
It's how you finish.
Sterling, go [Bleep.]
yourself.
I can't stand that dumb [Bleep.]
.
Sterling's screwed it up a lot he should go up.
I'll go with Steve just from your experience, and you telling all this stuff.
I really expected more.
You're supposed to know this.
You're [Bleep.]
up.
Steve and Sterling.
That's it.
There you go.
Well, I'll talk about my vote.
I feel like Katie started out strong, and she's getting weaker and weaker.
Fish station was super heavy tonight.
Like, fish got [Bleep.]
tonight, dude, and on top of it, I can't hear.
If Chef Andi's screaming, Chef Ramsay's screaming, and then you're screaming, I can't hear a thing.
There's no way I'm going home tonight.
I don't deserve it.
I'm talented.
Katie, if you didn't hear what I was saying, you could have said, "Sade, you're being too loud," or "leave me alone.
" One time you said something well, I feel like if I say that, I'm gonna get my [Bleep.]
head bit off.
I've never bit your head off 'Cause you've never had a problem.
Bitch, if you don't like people to yell at you and expect you to work hard, maybe you need to choose a different profession.
My decision is based on performances on the line, and my vote would be Roe and Katie.
I understand the Katie vote, but, I mean, like, you don't you think you can work better with Jennifer than you can work with me? [Bleep.]
off, Roe.
Suck it up.
I'm [Bleep.]
better than you.
That's all there is to it.
I'm not gonna change who I am and be [Bleep.]
sugarcoating everything for everybody to them feel warm and [Bleep.]
fuzzy inside.
I'm not that person.
You know, you're gonna eliminate me based on [Bleep.]
attitude? You're not basing anything on cooking.
There's too many other bitches that were [Bleep.]
up tonight.
We have Sade, Roe, Katie, and Jennifer all going up, apparently.
Oh, God.
We don't have a decision.
We are going to get [Bleep.]
killed.
I don't get it.
I don't get it, and I'm not happy, and I've had enough.
Red team, have you reached a decision? No, Chef, we have not.
No? Are you kidding me? I wish I was, Chef.
Oh, come on, Roe.
What have you got? We have a split decision on two pairs, three and three, Chef.
A split decision on two pairs? Yes, Chef.
Not the assignment, Chef.
That's four of you.
Yes, Chef.
Oh, what the [Bleep.]
? I mean, this is so insane.
This is so insane.
I can't do this.
All of you, [Bleep.]
off.
After a horrific dinner service in which there was no winning team I've had enough.
Both sides were ordered to nominate two chefs for elimination.
Have you reached a decision? No, Chef.
We have not.
But the women were unable to complete their assignment.
[Bleep.]
off in the red kitchen, and come back with two names! Who's gonna make the team stronger? Who can we win a service with? It's about who can win.
Just pick two.
Let's go.
Let's go.
For goodness sake.
Red team, have you reached a decision? Yes, Chef.
La Tasha! Chef, our first nominee is Katie.
Why? Because she's not starting strong and finishing strong throughout service, Chef.
Second nominee and why.
Roe.
Roe started really strong for us, Chef, but it's been mistake after mistake, and we don't see any growth.
Blue team, have you made a decision? Yes, Chef.
Thank God for that.
Fernando? Our first nominee is Sterling, Chef.
Sterling, why? We feel he doesn't take the competition as seriously as it is.
Second nominee and why? - Steve.
- Steve.
He started strong, and suddenly he's been declining, and he hasn't been able to step up and grow.
Sterling, Steve, Roe, Katie, step forward.
Roe, why do you deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen because I am a strong leader.
I feel that in any kitchen there's an adjustment period.
I don't have a long time for an adjustment "period.
" Katie? Yes, I've made a few mistakes but those mistakes are because of how our team is working together.
There are strong personalities, and I'm not gonna get into a cat fight in the kitchen.
Steve, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I had a really bad night, Chef, but I have proved that I do know how to cook.
I take this competition very serious, and my goal is to work for you, Chef, you know? And I will not be back on this chopping block.
Sterling? I don't talk about what I can do.
I go out and do it.
How many times have you sent anything back these last few services of mine? And how many he done send of yours? Dude, I [Bleep.]
one halibut tonight.
No, you [Bleep.]
up a lot.
Unbelievable.
The performances from both kitchens tonight were dreadful.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen Katie.
Give me your jacket.
You can cook, young lady, but you are not ready to be a leader.
Yes, Chef.
Good night.
Good night.
I was definitely gonna handle Chef Ramsay.
It was just the girls that I couldn't handle.
Maybe I should have taken a chance at getting my eyes scratched out.
I let strong personalities overcome me.
And it sucks.
I'm not done yet.
I'm not gonna tolerate it.
And I'm not gonna continue banging my head against the wall.
Take off your jacket.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
A surprise decision by Chef Ramsay.
Your time starts now.
Katie and Roe struggled - Chicken! - Chicken, Chef.
No! - Veal, Chef.
- No! And racked up a lot of the red team's total time.
- What are you doing? - Come on.
Oh, my God.
When it was the blue team's turn to test their palates This is my chance at redemption.
Frank was quick to identify - Elk.
- Yes! Really? Great job.
And Sterling was adamant.
It's alligator, man! - Alligator! - Yes! Thank you! You ain't from the south if you can't recognize that [Bleep.]
.
And the blue team - 38 seconds! - Duck! Yes! Eked out a victory with just over 30 seconds remaining.
We won! Whoo! The men enjoyed play time in the pool with olympic water polo players, while the women suffered through a punishment Chug, chug, chug, chug.
One down.
What did she drink? That somehow led Jen and Sade to a war of words.
Don't threaten me.
If I was threatening you, you would know.
During family night, the blue team had one of their best performances yet Five minutes to window.
You got it.
Four minutes to the garnish! - I'm ready to go! - New York strip.
Let's go.
Bryant, it's cooked beautifully, that steak.
Thank you, Chef.
While on the red team There's 100 guests waiting to be [Bleep.]
fed.
Nothing's coming out! Kalen and Katie I can't make the pasta cook any faster! Were truly sluggish with the appetizers, and Roe Roe! Three times, where's the fries? Was completely lost on garnish.
You're not bothered about the execution.
I am.
I am bothered, Chef.
Come on then! The men won, and the women nominated - Kalen.
- And Myself, Chef.
But Chef Ramsay felt Katie.
Deserved another chance.
- Back in line.
- Thank you, Chef.
Kalen, give me your jacket.
And that put an end to Kalen's dream of becoming head Chef at Gordon Ramsay pub & grill at caesars Atlantic city.
Fire Uh, uh Fire Whoo whoo whoo whoo The way you walk and talk Really sets me off To a full alarm, child Yes, it does The way you swerve and curve Really wrecks my nerves And I'm so excited, child The way you squeeze and tease Knocks me to my knees 'Cause I'm smokin' Baby, yeah, yeah When you're hot, you're hot You really shoot your shot You're dyn-o-mite, child Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Fire What I said, child, ow Fire Uh-huh Fire And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out of here.
They're just gonna keep tearing themselves down.
Pitiful.
Blue team, I think we do have the momentum now.
We got the girls, like, where we want 'em.
They rattling.
Doesn't get any better than this.
We're at the fifth service, honey, and you've rocked out.
Like, why would you ever put yourself up there? Because the person that I would have said, my life would have been hell here for the next few days.
Who? Sade.
Sade needs to go home.
She's too in your face.
I'm going hard on everybody.
She's, like, too much.
So throw another person under the bus.
Now I know better.
After a bit of a wake-up call, Katie is more determined than ever, and with a new day, the rest of the chefs are determined as well Let's go, boys.
To tackle whatever Chef Ramsay puts in front of them.
- Good morning.
- Morning, Chef.
I thought it'd be nice to leave Hell's Kitchen together and go shopping.
Let's go.
Come on.
Yes, Chef.
Nothing like fresh ingredients.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Here comes the ingredients.
It doesn't get any fresher than this.
Old McDonald had No, we gonna do a remix.
Old lil' Sterling had a pig Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink And Aaron's eyes I want to go Doink, doink, doink, doink, doink In today's challenge, you'll all be working with lamb chop, pork chop, and veal chop.
Two members from each team will herd their animal into their team's cages.
Yes, Chef.
Whatever animal you pen, that is the chop you'll work with in the kitchen.
Because there's an odd number on the blue team, let me know who's sitting out.
I can catch an animal.
I butcher animals all the time.
I'll sit out.
You'll sit out? I'm bummed out, but I'm here for the team.
Are we ready? Yes, Chef! On your mark, get set, go shopping! Let's go.
In today's pen your protein challenge Easy.
Easy.
Each team has broken up into pairs Barely tap his tail, dog.
And must herd the animal they want to cook with into the pen bearing its name.
- There you go.
- Grab his thigh.
The team that pens their protein the fastest gets first choice of starches.
Come on, guys.
They got their first one in.
Pick 'em up! Come on, Roe.
Close your legs.
I wanted to get that pig in as fast as possible because we have limited availability to the starches, so it's like a race.
Hold the gate.
Shut the gate.
Jennifer, Roe, show them who's boss.
Yes.
While the women take a gentle approach Come on, buddy.
Come on, buddy.
Ah! The men Pick him up! Take a more hands-on approach.
Pick him up.
Oh! There you go.
There you go.
Go! Go! Good job, Santos.
Good job.
Come on.
Come on.
There you go.
Grits.
Grits.
Couscous.
Couscous.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm excited about grabbing these animals.
I hang out on lamb farms all the time.
Just pick him up! Open the gate! Go! Steve, that's a goat.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
It's a goat.
[Bleep.]
.
Get the goat out of there.
You got to get the lamb, guys.
- [Bleep.]
! - Pull it out! The lamb's around the corner.
I want a lamb.
Big surprise.
I mean, look at Steve.
He doesn't look like the [Bleep.]
brightest light bulb.
Get your starch! Hurry up.
Go, go, go, go, go! - The risotto.
- Eight, seven, six Open the gate! Open the gate! Open the gate! Four, three, - two - Corn, corn, corn.
One, stop.
Both teams have selected their proteins and starches.
Okay, change into clean Chef whites.
I'll see you in the kitchen.
And now it's time to cook.
Are you happy with the fresh ingredients that you chose? Yes, Chef.
Now each Chef on your team will make a dish, but when it comes to judging, I'll only taste one of each protein.
Sterling, you sat out the first part of the challenge, but that doesn't mean you will not be cooking today.
Choose one combination from your team.
Pork.
There's three of us making pork, and we can only bring one plate up.
I'm gonna show you guys that I can cook and that I'm gonna beat you.
Your 30 minutes starts now.
Let's go.
- Come on, ladies.
- Here we go.
Let's go, guys.
Every minute counts.
The chance to shine as individuals.
Let's go.
I'm gonna do the veal with some chanterelle mushrooms, some brussel sprouts.
Veal chop is gonna go with a potato puree with a little bit of Moroccan spices.
I'm making, like, a fennel apple slaw, a little apple sauce.
So what are you making, Roe? Pork chops with a potato hash with brussel leaves.
I feel perfectly fine competing against Roe.
I feel like she's just overly [Bleep.]
confident.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
It's gonna be amazing.
Don't say it's amazing until you actually [Bleep.]
prove that it's amazing, first of all.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Do we have time? Uh, bottom shelf with the no, no.
Time, what time? How much time we need? Last ten minutes, men.
Has that just gone in? Yes, it's just gone in, Chef.
Why would you put the protein in oh, come on.
Dude, do you see the size of your veal chop? It's like two pounds.
You haven't put it in the oven yet? Really? - It's raw.
- I know, Chef.
I know.
Listen, cut it in half.
Get the [Bleep.]
.
Right behind, right behind, right behind.
Just under five minutes to go.
Yes, Chef.
Start plating.
Let's go.
Behind! Behind! Behind! Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
This [Bleep.]
better be perfectly cooked.
My dish is not gonna be a failure.
Behind.
Behind.
Coming down.
Coming down.
Gotta start plating.
It's now or never.
Ten Nine Eight You guys, get it on the plate.
Let's go.
Now.
Three, two, One And serve.
Okay to decide which chops you're gonna be presenting to me More than one chef from each team created a dish using the same protein and starch.
This is basically a corn puree with a spiced lamb.
Now the teams must carefully decide which is the right one to present.
I'm worried about it being a little rare.
- Okay, so let's go with this.
- Okay.
My temperature's spot-on.
I'm on the money.
Help me out here 'cause we can't make a decision.
I go with this one.
I like the glaze better.
Time's up.
All right, Sterling it is.
Sterling it is.
My plate's pretty sexy, and I know it tastes good because I tasted it.
Put the chosen ones up.
You know what, Sterling? You're up, dude.
[Bleep.]
it.
Let's go.
Couscous with almond, pear, fig, braised Swiss chard.
What do you have? Mediterranean zucchini, red pepper, onion.
- What do we want? - My temp is great.
- Tash.
- La Tash.
All right, lamb.
I did a grilled corn puree, cilantro, pine nuts, lime juice, salt, pepper.
Lamb, Sade, I like the presentation.
What are we gonna do on this? Caramelized the pork, and then it's a apple fennel slaw.
I'm thinking Roe.
- I like Roe.
- Okay.
I like the way her meat looks.
We made the right decision.
I'm not happy.
They're gonna go with Roe's dish because it looks [Bleep.]
pretty.
This is [Bleep.]
[Bleep.]
.
Okay.
I will not be judging your dishes alone.
From their meat-centric restaurant Animal, please say hello to Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo.
Great to see you both.
- How are you, Chef? - Good to see you.
- Nice to see you too.
- Welcome back.
Nice to see you.
Please, take your seat.
Oh, my God.
Animal is an amazing restaurant.
Like, I wish that I can get a reservation there.
Chef Jon and Vinny and I will be judging your dishes on a scale of one to five stars, so each dish is out of a possible 15 stars.
Veal, let's go.
First up is executive Chef Fernando with his veal chop and yam puree.
Now let's hope it's cooked perfectly.
I know my temperature's spot-on.
No worry.
Great sear, and you cooked it beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
Vinny, how is that for you? I got to be honest, there's no personality in the dish.
Very much the same color, a lot of brown.
Fernando, everything should be perfect.
What the hell is wrong with you? I thought it needed a little bit of salt, but overall I didn't think it was that bad of a dish.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chef.
Vinny, please, scores out of five? Where are you on that one? - Three.
- Jon? Three.
Interesting.
Great.
Good job.
Good job.
I truthfully know my dish would have been way better than that.
I'm hoping that the red team messes up and we win this.
Okay, La Tasha.
Let's go, please.
Thank you.
- Let's go, Tash.
- Go, Tash.
I can't wait for my veal to kick his ass.
Today I've prepared a pan-seared veal chop accompanied by a pear, fig, and toasted walnut couscous, and braised chard.
The dish has flavor.
The herbs really come through from where you basted.
The bite that I just had was seasoned really well.
- Just needs a touch of acidity, just lift it.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you.
Good job, Tash.
Jon, please.
Wow.
La Tasha's veal puts the women ahead by one point.
The lamb, please.
Let's go.
And the men are hoping Steve's rack of lamb with pea and mint risotto can make up the difference I didn't think it was half that bad.
Needs some salt.
But he gets a mediocre response.
And I'm gonna go three stars.
Yeah? Not bad.
While Sade's spiced lamb with blackberry reduction and pureed corn I like the accompaniments with it.
It's got that fragrance to it.
And the corn is sweet.
Adds to the women's lead.
Three.
Good job.
Good job, Sade.
Going into the final round, the men are two points behind.
This is the last protein.
Sterling, let's go.
And they're counting on Sterling's grill - How you doing, gentlemen? - How you doing? Nice to meet you.
I'm 100.
And Southern charm to score big.
I'm talkin' about AK-47, AR-15 bullets, y'all.
I done prepared for y'all a grilled chop, and I've glazed it with a honey chipotle glaze.
The grits are great, nice and creamy.
Did you cook 'em with milk? No, with a lot of love.
Oh, nice.
Salt will really bring out all the flavors I appreciate it.
That you put and all that love that you put in there.
Just needs to be refined more.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, thank you.
Good job.
Thank you.
[Bleep.]
.
If Sterling loses this for the team, I'm gonna [Bleep.]
lose it.
Sterling's pork has earned only nine stars.
It's 28 to 21.
- Next one.
Roe, let's go.
- Here you go, Roe.
And now Roe needs just eight stars to win it for the women.
Already off the bat, I feel that I have him beat by a mile.
Today I've prepared a bone-in grilled pork chop.
It sits over a brussel leaf hash.
The presentation looks nice.
The chop itself, you can see it's a little bit moister.
Interesting.
Vinny, how was that? You're gonna hate me for saying this It's the final round of the chop challenge, and the blue team is currently leading by seven stars.
It's 28 to 21.
But Roe is yet to have her turn.
Today I've prepared a bone-in grilled pork Cho over a brussel leaf hash.
She will need just eight stars to clinch the victory for the red team.
Vinny, how was that? You're gonna hate me for saying this, but thought it was kind of boring.
The honey with it was actually too sweet with the apple.
Are you kidding me? It looks nice, but it doesn't [Bleep.]
taste good? The dish is confusing because this garnish should be with a completely different dish.
It's all kind of just confused a little bit.
Thank you.
Can we see the dish you dropped, please, Jennifer? I think Jennifer's pork dish is flat.
In my heart of hearts, I really liked what I put on that plate.
I just caramelized my pork chop, and then I did, for a little bit of texture, a apple, fennel, red onion slaw.
Vinny, how was that for you? Better than the other dish.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Wow.
After eating that one, it makes me actually think less - of the other one.
- Yeah.
I knew it.
I'm so [Bleep.]
mad.
Vinny, what's your score for Roe's dish? Out of five, please.
One.
Two.
Men, congratulations.
Two in a row! Let's keep this momentum up, guys.
Your boy done pulled it through for the blue team.
Thank you, lord God.
I want you to thank these two extraordinary chefs.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- As always, thank you so much, Chef.
- Thanks, Chef.
Thank you.
- I look forward to seeing you at Animal, yes? - Bye, guys.
Bye.
Thank you again.
Men, congratulations.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
I've decided to send you to Santa Barbara wine country.
Yeah! You will enjoy a gourmet lunch, fantastic wine.
Yes! Now go and get ready.
- Yes, Chef! - Yes.
Yeah, we won! Here we go.
Whoo! Santa Barbara.
Yeah! Come on, guys! Good job! Whoo! Ladies, for tomorrow night's dinner service, I've added a rib-eye special, served with a stunning bone marrow bordelaise sauce.
The bones have been delivered straight from the farm.
I want you to extract all the bone marrow.
After that, I want all the stocks prepared.
That means prepping hundreds of pounds of vegetables.
Yeah? Yes, Chef.
Get out of here.
It's gonna be a long day.
Princess perfect Jennifer is going to be unbearable.
Everybody needs to get on the bone marrow right now.
Oh, God.
This is gonna be a long [Bleep.]
day.
It's the challenge win that I wanted too, is to go on a wine tasting.
Hello, ladies.
Aw, ladies! Great job, ladies.
You guys got bones to pick.
The guys get to go taste wines and go on a [Bleep.]
wine tour while I'm stuck with a bunch of bitches that can't pull their [Bleep.]
weight.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
Those femur bones, I'll let them bitches do that.
I'm not sawing [Bleep.]
because you overlooked me, so [Bleep.]
you.
Better luck over there? [Bleep.]
no.
Never mind.
This is one of those times that I wish I were a boy.
Let's drink some wine, boys.
Oh, it's so beautiful out here.
Whee! I love Santa Barbara.
It's so great for the blue team to get out.
We're gonna go drink some wine, have some nice lunch in the vineyards.
Can't ask for anything better.
We definitely earned this after working our asses off.
Wait, hold on.
Heads up.
Who is this guy? Who is this guy? Man, we ain't trespassing, are we? This is a private party, buddy.
You don't belong here.
Hey! Marino! How are you doing, guys? This is, like, just getting better and better.
You know that actually I'm a professional wine drinker? [Bleep.]
.
I've done a wine tasting before.
You know, that's what we're going to do.
Give three nice sniff.
This is what we're gonna taste, okay? This is the glass.
We're just gonna go "glug, glug, glug, glug.
" If it wasn't for Roe, I wouldn't have no friends today.
To Roe.
To Roe.
Appreciate it.
All right.
Let's hustle up.
This is too greasy.
What is that? When we're going back down? You have to constantly skim stocks, and we have a lovely little buzzer that's gonna go off when we need to come back downstairs.
There it is.
There it is, and we're out.
We have to strain everything and skim everything, and then we can go back upstairs.
This sucks, man.
Then we get to come back downstairs when the buzzer goes off To do another batch.
We just got to get this [Bleep.]
done, and then we can sit.
Home, sweet home.
Yeah, baby.
Did you roast those bones right? Make sure to skim, skim, skim.
This has been the longest day of my life.
Oh, my God.
[Bleep.]
Tired, man.
After a long, eventful day It's definitely time to say good night.
And some much needed rest, both teams seem energized.
Whoo! Hoo, hoo, ha! - Yeah, buddy! - Up top.
The women have put yesterday's challenge loss behind them.
Let's go.
- You using all these? - Probably.
But the men on the other hand, despite their victory Steve, I love you man.
Love you too, brother.
Not really.
Seem to have some personality conflicts within the team.
Excuse me? Don't be comin' at me like that.
You got something to say, you say it to my face.
I do say it to your face.
If you talk as much as you cook, you'll be good.
You talk a big game, but you ain't [Bleep.]
.
Guys, come on.
Guys, back the [Bleep.]
up.
Just moments before the doors are set to open for dinner service If you talk as much as you cook, you'll be good.
You talk a big game, but you ain't [Bleep.]
.
You ain't [Bleep.]
[Bleep.]

This is really her time to prove herself.
Where's the scallops? Right here, Chef! Make sure they're perfect, Katie.
I can go on lobster, Roe! Ready? Scallops.
Behind.
Hot, hot, hot, hot.
It's just not good enough.
No.
All of you, come here.
So I thought having an amazing Chef's table in the kitchen would inspire you.
Just look.
Just look at the scallops.
Look.
That's how they came.
They were fine when I flipped them, and they stuck to the bottom of the pan.
They were fine when you flipped them? I put them in a new pan.
Like, seriously? All we want you to do is this.
Like, shut up.
Like, shut up.
Like, to prevent that from happening and re-fired them.
Don't talk.
Shut up.
So touch them.
What would you do? Re-fire, Chef.
You've just confirmed you've got no standards.
And you, you can't [Bleep.]
count.
one lobster missing, and that is the best, right? Touch them.
They won't bite you.
They're dead, okay? Yes, Chef.
I'm feeling bad for the ocean right now, and all the little scallops that we had to kill for this unfortunate dinner service.
I'm sorry, guys.
There may be a superstar sprinter in the red kitchen Come on.
Fire two more risotto! Fire two scallop.
Right now! I got two risotto right now.
But the red team is stuck in the starting blocks.
Any chance we're gonna eat before hell freezes over? Meanwhile, diners on the blue side are enjoying their appetizers, and star defenseman Willie Mitchell from the 2014 Stanley cup champion L.
A.

How long do you need, Katie? Scallops, 1 1/2.

ear, and Chef's screaming at me.
And now must take the walk of shame up to the dorms.
Two lambs.

You, cook the halibut.
- Yes, Chef.

I'm jumping on scallop.
Hey.
Hey, you.
Hey, come here.
Let me whisper something very important in your ear.
Very important.
[Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
Get out! It's an hour and a half into dinner service.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, come here.
And Ashley's failed attempt at scallops Hey.
Hey, you.
Hey, come here.
Let me whisper something very important in your ear.
Has earned her a secret request.
Very important.
[Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
Get out! With a reduced crew left in both kitchens We have a lobster risotto for you, and we have scallops for you.
The remaining chefs have pulled together.
Service, please.
Halibut to your right, Chef.
And have found their rhythm.
Oh, wow! And delivery entrees to their final tables.
- Thanks, guys.
A pleasure, man.
- Thanks so much, you guys.
Gentlemen, line up please.
Quickly.
I was ready for a successful, smooth service tonight.
It was about as smooth as the [Bleep.]
wrinkles on my forehead.
Embarrassing.
I can't see the talent I thought I had, and I'm actually worried because I don't even think I've got a winner on the heels of tonight's service.
There's no winning team.
Blue team, red team, think of two individuals that you will lose from your team.
I wouldn't base it just on tonight's service.
Time to clean the house.
Get out of here.
I plan on working for Chef Ramsay, and look, I mean, this is a competition, and the less people that are here, the better, so drop that dead weight.
However this is gonna go, we need to decide it now and get on with this [Bleep.]
night, dude.
Seriously.
So if you had to lose two, who would you choose? I have to go with Sterling.
The past six services I don't know, man.
That's just who I'm going with.
Next, please.
I mean, I say Sterling.
I'm gonna have to say Sterling.
Sterling, the reason I am putting your name you ain't got to explain, man.
All right.
Sounds good then.
I thank my teammate as haters.
You know what haters stand for? I don't deserve to go home, man.
I'm better than that.
I'm saying Steve.
I got my ass kicked.
I mean, yeah, but we're judging it out of six nights.
It ain't how you start.
It's how you finish.
Sterling, go [Bleep.]
yourself.
I can't stand that dumb [Bleep.]
.
Sterling's screwed it up a lot he should go up.
I'll go with Steve just from your experience, and you telling all this stuff.
I really expected more.
You're supposed to know this.
You're [Bleep.]
up.
Steve and Sterling.
That's it.
There you go.
Well, I'll talk about my vote.
I feel like Katie started out strong, and she's getting weaker and weaker.
Fish station was super heavy tonight.
Like, fish got [Bleep.]
tonight, dude, and on top of it, I can't hear.
If Chef Andi's screaming, Chef Ramsay's screaming, and then you're screaming, I can't hear a thing.
There's no way I'm going home tonight.
I don't deserve it.
I'm talented.
Katie, if you didn't hear what I was saying, you could have said, "Sade, you're being too loud," or "leave me alone.
" One time you said something well, I feel like if I say that, I'm gonna get my [Bleep.]
head bit off.
I've never bit your head off 'Cause you've never had a problem.
Bitch, if you don't like people to yell at you and expect you to work hard, maybe you need to choose a different profession.
My decision is based on performances on the line, and my vote would be Roe and Katie.
I understand the Katie vote, but, I mean, like, you don't you think you can work better with Jennifer than you can work with me? [Bleep.]
off, Roe.
Suck it up.
I'm [Bleep.]
better than you.
That's all there is to it.
I'm not gonna change who I am and be [Bleep.]
sugarcoating everything for everybody to them feel warm and [Bleep.]
fuzzy inside.
I'm not that person.
You know, you're gonna eliminate me based on [Bleep.]
attitude? You're not basing anything on cooking.
There's too many other bitches that were [Bleep.]
up tonight.
We have Sade, Roe, Katie, and Jennifer all going up, apparently.
Oh, God.
We don't have a decision.
We are going to get [Bleep.]
killed.
I don't get it.
I don't get it, and I'm not happy, and I've had enough.
Red team, have you reached a decision? No, Chef, we have not.
No? Are you kidding me? I wish I was, Chef.
Oh, come on, Roe.
What have you got? We have a split decision on two pairs, three and three, Chef.
A split decision on two pairs? Yes, Chef.
Not the assignment, Chef.
That's four of you.
Yes, Chef.
Oh, what the [Bleep.]
? I mean, this is so insane.
This is so insane.
I can't do this.
All of you, [Bleep.]
off.
After a horrific dinner service in which there was no winning team I've had enough.
Both sides were ordered to nominate two chefs for elimination.
Have you reached a decision? No, Chef.
We have not.
But the women were unable to complete their assignment.
[Bleep.]
off in the red kitchen, and come back with two names! Who's gonna make the team stronger? Who can we win a service with? It's about who can win.
Just pick two.
Let's go.
Let's go.
For goodness sake.
Red team, have you reached a decision? Yes, Chef.
La Tasha! Chef, our first nominee is Katie.
Why? Because she's not starting strong and finishing strong throughout service, Chef.
Second nominee and why.
Roe.
Roe started really strong for us, Chef, but it's been mistake after mistake, and we don't see any growth.
Blue team, have you made a decision? Yes, Chef.
Thank God for that.
Fernando? Our first nominee is Sterling, Chef.
Sterling, why? We feel he doesn't take the competition as seriously as it is.
Second nominee and why? - Steve.
- Steve.
He started strong, and suddenly he's been declining, and he hasn't been able to step up and grow.
Sterling, Steve, Roe, Katie, step forward.
Roe, why do you deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen because I am a strong leader.
I feel that in any kitchen there's an adjustment period.
I don't have a long time for an adjustment "period.
" Katie? Yes, I've made a few mistakes but those mistakes are because of how our team is working together.
There are strong personalities, and I'm not gonna get into a cat fight in the kitchen.
Steve, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I had a really bad night, Chef, but I have proved that I do know how to cook.
I take this competition very serious, and my goal is to work for you, Chef, you know? And I will not be back on this chopping block.
Sterling? I don't talk about what I can do.
I go out and do it.
How many times have you sent anything back these last few services of mine? And how many he done send of yours? Dude, I [Bleep.]
one halibut tonight.
No, you [Bleep.]
up a lot.
Unbelievable.
The performances from both kitchens tonight were dreadful.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen Katie.
Give me your jacket.
You can cook, young lady, but you are not ready to be a leader.
Yes, Chef.
Good night.
Good night.
I was definitely gonna handle Chef Ramsay.
It was just the girls that I couldn't handle.
Maybe I should have taken a chance at getting my eyes scratched out.
I let strong personalities overcome me.
And it sucks.
I'm not done yet.
I'm not gonna tolerate it.
And I'm not gonna continue banging my head against the wall.
Take off your jacket.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
A surprise decision by Chef Ramsay.
