Hell's Kitchen (2005) s15e04 Episode Script
15 Chefs Compete (59 min)
Previously on Hell's Kitchen Now let's go.
The chefs' communication skills were put to the test You're making, like, a kind of burrito, and you sear it, you fry it.
Okay.
As they had to correctly relay recipes that were printed on the back of their chef jackets.
You have a carbonara, so think carbonara, okay? But on the red team, Kristin's spanakopita It looks [Bleep.]
disgusting.
Who was reading that? I was, Chef.
Meese point to the blue team.
Thanks, partner.
And Manda's burrito It is not a burrito.
It's a taquito.
Dannie did not tell me it was a [Bleep.]
taquito.
Point for the blue team.
Sunk the red team.
Congratulations.
- Yeah! - There we go! Hell yeah! Made a nice fish head soup for you.
I'm starving.
The women had to endure a disgusting punishment lunch Who has an eyeball? I'll swallow one.
And a teammate they found revolting.
Ew, what the [Bleep.]
stinks like dirty [Bleep.]
? Jackie is _ Jackie, you got to find a filter.
Sorry, that's not me.
At dinner service, Hassan's leadership Are we ready to go? Let's go, let's go, let's go! All right, I'm cutting my wellies.
Four Wellingtons on your right.
And Jared's cooking Chef, on your left with the vegetarian.
- Perfectly cooked.
- Way to go, Jared.
Gave the blue team their strongest service yet.
That's the best tuna I think I've ever had.
We're on top of the world right now.
But in the red kitchen, an untimely memory lapse Vanessa, call back the order.
Two.
Was followed by poor performances by Manda on garnish - Can we have the garnish? - They're not done.
I'm sorry, Chef.
And Meese on meat.
I'm not serving that.
I'm not serving that.
Meese! I don't know what was going through my mind.
We've put more food in the trash can than we have in the dining room.
Get out! The red team fought over who to nominate.
My Wellingtons were ready to [Bleep.]
go the whole [Bleep.]
time.
Are you out of your [Bleep.]
mind? Oh, I'm getting angry.
Who is now finally up for elimination? Meese and Amanda.
But when questioned by Chef Ramsay, Ariel went rogue, nominating Meese.
And Vanessa.
_ And it was Vanessa.
Who said good-bye to her dream of becoming head chef at BLT steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out of here.
I'm sorry, are we cooking in the same kitchen? 'Cause at this point, I don't know what the [Bleep.]
is going on with everyone.
What the [Bleep.]
happened? You really question why I don't trust you? Ariel put up Vanessa, but we agreed as a team to put up Meese and Manda.
That wasn't the decision is what I'm saying.
The team decided that Vanessa was the weakest chef.
Am I incorrect? Did I dec I never told you that.
- Okay.
- I put up my vote.
- I put up - Okay.
- Meese.
- Heard.
Well, then everybody besides you felt that Vanessa was the weakest chef and who was making the team weak, and I answered the question that chef asked me.
I gave an answer for the team.
Don't come back afterwards and be in my face.
Let you stand up there with your [Bleep.]
heart pounding, and you make that [Bleep.]
judgment call.
- Everybody else around - stop yelling at me.
Calm down.
I'm not yelling.
I'm raising my voice, and I'm asserting myself.
You will tone your voice down when you talk to me.
- Then I won't talk.
- Do you understand that? Then we won't talk.
I answered your question, then it's done.
You learn to act like an adult and tone your voice down I answered your question, Dannie.
- The conversation is now over.
- You can bring it down.
If you want to continue to talk, I will continue to raise my voice! The conversation is over, b! Well, that didn't take long for the claws to come out.
Act like an adult.
fire Uh, uh - fire - Aah! Ha ha ha! This way? - The way you walk and talk - Hey Hey! Really sets me off - to a Fuller love, child - Aah! I can't see! - The way you swerve - Aah! - And curve - Oh!

Fire Good morning, good morning, good morning! Let's go, guys, get up, let's go! - Wake up! - Move fast.
- Uh - Let's go, hurry up.
Oh, hell no, this is way too early for this [Bleep.]
today.
Chef Ramsay's waiting for you.
Let's put these on, and you got to get out front, yeah? Yes, Chef.
Guys, let's go.
We got to hurry up, come on! I think we're going hunting.
I've been hunting by my father's side since I was eight, so when I see the camouflage and the orange, I'm like, "I get to kill something, I get to kill something.
" Hopefully I'll have blood on these hands before the day is over.
Let's go, guys.
Line up, please, let's go.
I don't know what is going on right now, but I definitely think there's some people here that should not have guns in their hands.
Jackie should never have a gun.
Whilst you guys have been sleeping, Marino and I have been enjoying the great outdoors.
How many of you have gone duck hunting before? Wow, one, two, three of you.
Hmm, seems like most of you are more comfortable hunting ducks like this, then.
Aw, what the duck? Where's my bloody shotgun? Right, today each of you are gonna be cooking a stunning duck dish.
I'm gonna put one person from each team in a single canoe.
It'll be up to you to gather five ingredients that you're both gonna be cooking with from this lake.
You'll find the name of ingredients written on the bottom of our rubber ducks.
When you get back to hell's kitchen, your dishes will be battling against each other, clear? Yes, Chef! Let's get some ducks in the water, please.
Yes, Chef! More ducks, you doughnut! No more.
Where's the rest of the ducks? Come on! - No.
- What the [Bleep.]
? You got to be kidding me.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, my god.
Drop the ducks! [Laughter.]
Yeah! - That's awesome.
- Oh, my god.
It's like Niagara Falls of rubber duckies coming out of that copter.
- You got to be kidding me.
- Oh, my god.
Your ten minutes starts Now.
For the first part of today's challenge, each pair of opponents will gather five rubber ducks, which will each list one ingredient.
I hope you got insurance.
Both chefs must use all five ingredients to create duck dishes that will go head-to-head back in hell's kitchen.
Fig, no.
Sriracha ooh, yes, Sriracha? No.
Let's go! Dried cherries? - Eh.
- No dried cherries? We're cooking against each other, and Ariel could absolutely sabotage me and play to her strengths, so I'm being firm with her on ingredients.
Prosciutto.
Prosciutto, eh.
- Crackers.
- Nah.
- Bacon.
- Eh.
How about, you know, black garlic? Nah.
Polenta you want to do polenta? I don't I mean, all right.
Do you want to go back to this patch or what? Eh.
Four minutes to go! Purple sweet potatoes.
I use those at work.
Yeah.
- I don't.
- I do.
All right.
Purple sweet potatoes is kind of the curveball, but I'm not gonna argue it.
They're [Bleep.]
potatoes.
I'm sure I can figure it out.
Two minutes to go! We need one more, man.
- Wax beans.
- Okay, fine.
I feel confident going up against Frankie.
He's a good chef, but I'm a good chef too, so I'm definitely gonna cook a better dish than frank.
- Five, four - We got to go.
- Go! - Go, go, go! Three, two, one.
And stop! Ah! Back at hell's kitchen, the chefs will have just 40 minutes and their five selected ingredients Everybody make sure you render that skin out nice.
To create a unique and delicious dish featuring duck.
I got pans on the burners for your duck heating up, okay? This is way too much.
I'm just worried about overcooking my duck, because I've never, ever cooked with duck breast this ginormous before.
I mean, they're like Ashley's boob job.
Make sure this [Bleep.]
's not bland today, honey.
They're humongous.
While Manda gets a feel for the duck breast - You score? - Yeah, I didn't season, though.
Over in the blue kitchen, Eddie works passionately to make sure his duck fits the bill.
I put in the duck first and then the lube.
It's been a few years since I worked with duck, but it's kind of like driving a manual transmission for the first time yeah, you might stall out a couple times, but once you get in your rhythm, you're smooth sailing.
No idea what I'm gonna do with these purple sweet potatoes.
While the blue team gets familiar with their ingredients No duckin' around.
Back in the red kitchen, Jackie All right, let's see how this puree comes out.
Is doing a little experimenting.
[Bleep.]
.
I'm a little nervous, because I am doing a wax bean puree that I've never, ever done before Oh, man, this is not thick enough at all.
But I have a plan and a [Bleep.]
mission.
Love this focus, ladies.
What do you say, boys? What do you say, boys? I need another minute.
You need a hand with something, Frank? - Need a hand, frank? - Uh I have not worked with duck before.
And duck isn't something, you know, that you can just walk into the kitchen and just finesse.
- Come on, baby, come on.
- 30 seconds to go.
Come on, guys! All right, frank, where are you? Mine's a little over [Bleep.]
.
Please cut right, please cut right.
Guys, plate.
Out of my way.
- Five, four - Come on, guys.
- Come on, girls.
- Three - I don't like that.
- Two, one.
And plate.
All right, blue team.
Good job, ladies.
Listen, joining me to judge today's duck challenge is a highly acclaimed chef who holds two Michelin stars.
He's the chef and owner of Mélisse restaurant in Santa Monica.
Please welcome Chef Josiah Citrin.
I want to faint right now.
I am so honored to have Chef Citrin taste my dish.
Right, first up, Manda and Joe.
Let's go, please.
In this duck challenge, Chef Ramsay and Chef Citrin will each judge the dishes on a scale of one to four.
- Here you go, Joe! - All right, Joe.
As their scores will be combined, the maximum a dish can score is eight points.
How you doing, Chef? Good afternoon.
How you doing? The first pair of chefs to face off is Manda and Joe.
His duck dish features Bok choy and a basmati rice tamale, kind of.
- Tamale? - Yes, yes.
To me, it looks more like a spring roll than a tamale.
Yeah, bok choy tamale? Exactly.
Tamale? Really, bro? Like, really? This actually tastes pretty good.
But it's not Mexican.
- No, Chef, it isn't.
- Let's get that right.
I'm gonna go with a three.
I love the flavors, three for me.
Thank you, Chef.
It would be so much better had you not mentioned that word "tamale.
" Joe, what the hell are you thinking? Come on, wake up.
Manda.
Very overcooked, the duck.
Do you know it's overcooked, Manda? - Yeah.
- Mm.
- Tastes like pork.
- Yeah, and it's very mealy.
Ugh, this is not good.
I hate disappointing Chef Ramsay.
- Way off.
- Everything's off.
- Way overcooked.
- One.
- Yeah, one as well.
- Sorry, Chef.
Manda, terrible.
Red team, what a shame.
That a boy, Joe.
That a boy.
While the men celebrate an early lead Ariel and Chad, please, let's go.
Chad puts up his duck breast with pomegranate jus.
Looks clumsy.
The flavors are good.
I'll give this one a three.
- Two for me.
- Yeah.
Against Ariel's duck breast with pomegranate glaze.
- Give this one a three as well.
- Yeah, two.
Five each.
Underwhelming, what a shame.
Jackie and Frank, please, let's go.
With the men still in the lead, Jackie's attempt at a wax bean puree There's no finesse on this at all.
Scores just five points, while frank's wax bean Risotto impresses.
- Very nice.
- Bit of a chef's dream.
- I have to go four here.
- Three for me.
Solid seven, well done, Frank.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
- Good job.
- Good job, frank.
Cooking a duck takes methods, technique, and understanding of how to cook the bird.
Right, next up, dannie and Alan.
Come on, Alan.
With the women trailing by six points, dannie hopes to close the gap with her duck and sautéed collared greens Love those collared greens.
Three for me.
Overcooked the duck.
I will give this one a two.
Against Alan's deep-fried collared greens.
It's greasy, it's bland, it's swimming in water.
There's nothing exciting, so I will just give this one a one.
I agree, a one.
Not good, Alan.
With the women still trailing, Meese is looking to get a leg up I don't understand using a duck leg without the proper time to cook it No.
When you have a beautiful breast.
With her unconventional choice of cut.
It's not as tough as I would imagine.
No, no, you're absolutely right.
- I'm gonna give it a two.
- I'm a two.
While Hassan has high hopes for his duck breast with cabbage ragout.
I know it looks visually appalling, but I think the flavors will be good.
I'm struggling a one.
Chef? I agree, a one.
Thank you, Chef.
Men 22, red team 21.
With the women catching up and only two rounds left Eddie, Ashley, let's go.
- Come on, Eddie.
- Come on, Ed.
Eddie has pulled out all the stops with his Pan-seared duck breast tossed with garlic cipollini onion.
Damn, look at that there.
Oh, dear.
We would be shut down.
Remove your stars right away.
A customer could actually choke on that.
In Chef Ramsay's duck challenge, Damn, look at that there.
Eddie has made a "foul" mistake in front of guest judge two-Michelin-star Chef Josiah Citrin.
.
A customer could actually choke on that.
This is raw raw white fat there.
Aw, damn it.
We would get shut down if we were to send a duck breast caked in fat like that out.
No one eats it when it's like that.
It's raw fat.
Like, come on, bro.
That is raw fat, and when you're in hell's kitchen, you can't be that dumb.
Shame, it's delicious.
- Yeah, flavor's good.
- Mmm.
Love that flavor.
I feel like a bipolar, just Ah, they like my flavors! Aw, they hate the skin.
Ah, they like the flavors! Aw, damn it.
I will give this two.
I'm a two.
It'll never happen again, Chef.
I hope not.
Ashley.
The sauce is blueberry infused with the pancetta fat, and the hash is infused with the duck fat.
Presentation - wise, it looks clumsy.
But the duck's seasoned beautifully.
The duck's seasoned nicely.
Flavor was nice.
I'll give this one a three.
Yeah, I'm gonna agree with chef, a three.
Ashley, good job.
Kristin and Jared.
- Come on, Jared.
- Let's go, Jared.
I got all my fingers crossed, praying for Jared, just hoping that he can bring it home for us.
Jared? I have a celery rack puree with poached mushrooms and braised purple potatoes.
It looks clumsy.
The second I put that sauce on the plate and it started running, I knew I was gonna get knocked for it.
The good news is, the duck's cooked beautifully.
Yeah, the duck is definitely the best-cooked duck so far today.
Thank you, Chef.
I'm gonna give this one a three.
It's a solid three.
Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
Kristin, describe this, please, to chef.
I have a leek and celery root puree, the pan-seared duck, and a purple sweet potato chip.
Come on, Kristin, help us out.
Make it [Bleep.]
happen, bro.
These are pretty.
They're crispy, her potatoes.
Delicious, seasoned beautifully.
Yeah, it's great.
My duck's overcooked there, unfortunately.
It's very buttery, oily.
Like, leaves a coating on your mouth.
Whew, you need five points to tie.
For me, it's a two.
A scorcher.
I feel like this one would be a one for me.
I just don't I don't I don't get it, I'm at a loss, and it just sucks.
Like, there's no excuse for that.
Ultimate embarrassment.
Congratulations, men.
Hey! Good job, bro.
Guess what, red team.
Winner, winner, ducky dinner.
Jared, good job.
Join me in thanking Chef Josiah Citrin.
.
- Best wishes, bud.
- Take care.
Best wishes, thank you.
Thank you all, guys.
Blue team, you all are in for a spectacular day in a privately chartered luxury yacht.
Nice.
What the You'll spend the entire afternoon sipping champagne and riding the waves.
After that, you're then going to make a trip to the most amazing penthouse restaurant for dinner.
And there's a few more surprises as well.
Now get out of here.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thanks, Chef.
[Bleep.]
Sweet.
Whoo! Ladies, I can assure you that your day of punishment is one of the worst.
In fact, it's somewhat "foul.
" We're gonna be receiving a large shipment of duck, and this time it's real duck.
They need to be broken down and prepared for an appetizer here in hell's kitchen.
You have a long, grueling, wretched day.
Get out of here.
Man, are you [Bleep.]
serious? This sucks bad.
I don't know what's happening with my team.
I thought we were doing good, and it's like we're getting worse.
I'm so [Bleep.]
sick of losing.
- Oh, my god, really? - Insane.
You've got to be kidding me.
Looks like a voodoo shed or something.
All right, get started on this.
This is a little disturbing, actually.
This sucks.
This is a breast, and somebody didn't cut the bones off, 'cause we don't know how to follow directions.
That's why we're [Bleep.]
here.
While the red team guts out another punishment, the blue team is off for another adventure.
Look at this, look at this! - This is it.
- Party! All aboard.
Oh, my god, we were on the biggest yacht on the water.
It was absolutely divine.
You know, you could not beat it.
I guess you could say, you know, size matters.
This is some [Bleep.]
class, right here.
Oh, there's oysters.
Oh, baby.
- Oh, that's good.
- We got crab legs.
This is outstanding.
Let's just not get shellfish.
I'm basically double-fisting oysters.
I'm I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with gout by the end of this trip.
- Bam.
- Here we go.
Ooh, we got seals! Blue team! - Oh, my god.
- [Bleep.]
.
While the men cruise towards their five-star restaurant, back at hell's kitchen Dinner is waiting for you on the patio.
The red team is sitting down to some three-toe cuisine.
What the [Bleep.]
is that? - Duck feet.
- Oh-ho-ho-ho, no.
This is just nasty, stank skin and feet and toenails and nasty cartilage.
It's really bad.
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
I can't eat this [Bleep.]
.
What is with you people? I'm eating them.
Ugh, god.
You just sprayed that hot sauce right in my eye.
I am so sorry.
I'm almost done with my plate.
Ew.
Duck foot champion of the world! Jackie's a joke.
She doesn't take this seriously at all.
She is a shame face for this team.
Kitty girl, kitty girl, kitty girl.
While the women watch Jackie's eating with disgust, the men are enjoying an amazing view from the penthouse restaurant in Santa Monica.
Yeah, it's gorgeous.
- It's quiet here.
- Hey! Is he really gonna join us? Is he really gonna sit? - How are we, guys? - Great, Chef.
Awesome.
Right, any questions? What are the worst cuts you've had in the kitchen? I'm sure you have some, like, bruisers.
What's, like, one of the worst we got? This one here.
Oh, that's a good one there.
So that was in service.
I never in my life expected to be sitting at a dining table with chef Gordon Ramsay.
With the other knife, I went in, shard broken.
I just went straight through and then came out through there, and then bang.
I don't think anything will really be able to touch this for the rest of my life.
One more question, Chef.
When this is all over, can I use you as a reference on my resume? Ha-ha, no.
That ain't happening.
It's a new day in Hell's Kitchen, and ahead of tonight's dinner service, the blue team is riding high from yesterday's challenge victory.
We have an upper hand on the girls.
Let's keep it like that.
Meanwhile, determined to put their losses behind them, the women are trying to get organized with some help from a former Hell's Kitchen winner, their sous chef Christina.
- Get your top kit set.
- Okay.
Make a list of everything you don't need.
Got it.
Every kitchen has a prep list.
Normally we don't title the list.
We just know it's the list.
Okay, this is the list.
I'm gonna put, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Jackie wrote, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Like, why would you write that? - The [Bleep.]
list? - The [Bleep.]
I didn't write that.
So respectful, right? What are you thinking, Jackie? Disrespect like that does not fly anywhere.
Is this you? It's disrespectful, is what it is.
Never again, I swear to god.
- If any shut up.
- I know.
She did not think that was very funny.
If any of this happens in this kitchen again "The [Bleep.]
list" whoever writes it will be finishing the [Bleep.]
list.
It wasn't disrespecting you.
You just interrupted me.
Take a seat.
Have a seat and sit down.
Just sit down.
Never again.
It's a professional [Bleep.]
kitchen.
You would be fired if you worked for me.
You want to have oh, you don't care? No, no.
You don't care? No, no.
It's the day of dinner service, and the red team's prep list has fallen into Jackie's hands.
I'm gonna put, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Jackie wrote, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" But her choice of words It's disrespectful, is what it is.
Never again, I swear to god.
- If any shut up.
- I know.
Sit down, just sit down.
Has left chef Christina less than amused.
It's a professional [Bleep.]
kitchen.
You would be fired if you worked for me.
You want to have oh, you don't care? No, no.
You don't care? No, no.
This is your teammate.
Find the cancer on your team and work around it.
Jackie brought our whole morale down.
She has to go.
I'm done with her.
Go have lunch.
I'm the type of person where I can joke, joke, joke, and then, boom, jump into service and get [Bleep.]
done.
But these morons don't see that.
Jackie, you can't talk back to her.
Listen, I'm not gonna let her disrespect me.
She's our boss, dude, and you need to get back in her good graces before we start service.
Every chef that I've ever rolled my eyes at, I am totally sorry, because Karma is a bitch, and her name is Jackie.
Chef, can I talk to you? Yeah, I'll meet you in the back.
- All right.
- What's up? I feel horrible.
Writing that [Bleep.]
on the list was [Bleep.]
up.
I mean, I realize that now, you know? You have to understand that I'm in the position I am because chef Ramsay put me there.
I know.
I mean, I don't want you to think I'm not in like, really serious about this.
Then show me.
I will.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I'm not an idiot.
I knew I had to apologize as soon as I realized how pissed chef Christina was.
But, I mean, this is a cooking competition, not a personality competition.
Make sure the gas is on.
We all learned what happened last time.
We got this, come on.

All of you, come here.
This is a risotto for Kris Jenner.
Taste it, all of you.
- Taste that.
- Needs salt, Chef.
Salt, Chef.
I've got nowhere to go now.
I swear to god hey, young lady.
Yes, Chef.
- Is this a stitch-up? - No, not at all, Chef.
- Did you taste that Risotto? - Uh, yes.
Young lady, are you serious? It's like you don't care.
Yikes.
Kris Jenner has just put out a [Bleep.]
cookbook.
If you don't care, then go home.
Dinner service has just gotten under way.
Taste it, all of you.
- Needs salt, Chef.
- Taste that.
And Manda's bland risotto for Kris Jenner has been intercepted by Chef Ramsay.
- Hey, young lady.
- Yes, Chef.
Are you serious? It's like you don't care.
Kris Jenner has just put out a [Bleep.]
cookbook.
If you don't care, then go home.
Yikes.
I'm gonna make it awesome this time, all right? Oh, my god.
Like, I'm just so stupid.
Walking Risotto! I can't believe I didn't season my Risotto.
Stupid.
Yummy.
That's the Risotto for you.
We're gonna taste it? That's exciting.
Thank you.
With the chef's table finally receiving its appetizers This is amazing.
The red team is back on track.
Enjoy.
Meanwhile, in the blue kitchen Four covers, table 12, two tuna, two chicken.
Yes, Chef! Chef Ramsay is firing the first entrees of the night.
How long, Kevin? Kevin, how long? One minute, Chef.
Why aren't you talking to your team? He's not even counting down.
He's not even with it.
- You got your sauce? - Yep.
Get your sauce in the boat.
Come on, fast, fast, fast.
My main focus in tonight's dinner service is to make sure that Kevin had everything under control on meat.
You guys going to the pass with two tuna? Right here.
I got two sauce going to the pass.
It's all about working as a team.
Keep communicating.
Keep working.
With Hassan driving the blue team Remember, on your right, Chef.
We're doing great so far.
The men are sending a steady stream of entrees out to their diners.
Table 30, yes? - It's amazing.
- Cheers.
Meanwhile, the women have hit their stride on appetizers Come on, ladies, we got this.
And are ready to move on.
First entree, two chicken, two Wellington.
Yes, Chef! Jackie, you got your chicken working? Don't worry, don't worry about it.
Drop that [Bleep.]
.
Chicken and Wellington cook at the same time.
Is your chicken down? Do you want me to poach it now? Yeah, as soon as the order comes in.
If you put in a Wellington and there's a chicken on order, drop the chicken at the same time.
She is not worried.
- How long, Jackie? - Six minutes, Chef.
You need rest time for the chicken.
If you think about it, by the time yeah, yeah, I got you.
Meat is it's not that hard.
Walking with chicken.
Did Meese walk with the garnish yet? Yes.
Chicken, Chef.
Go.
Pink [Bleep.]
chicken.
Ugh, [Bleep.]
Me.
All of you, come here.
All of you! Is the chicken uh-oh, they're in trouble.
Pink [Bleep.]
chicken.
Oh, man.
My fault, guys.
Who sliced that? I did.
And you can't see that's pink? Very slightly pink.
Listen, would I have really sold that chicken? Eh Get it back in the oven.
Why are we staring at it? Jackie's not as good as a cook as she thinks, and there is no place for her in chef Ramsay's kitchen, and I'll tell you that right now.
Her days are numbered.
- Re-fire.
- We're re-firing everything.
With the red team completely stalled by Jackie's pink chicken, in the blue kitchen - Go.
- Eddie.
Yes, Chef.
Entrees, you serve, for the chef's table let's go.
Dita Von Teese is ready for Eddie.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
You guys are going to go crazy over this tuna, some of the best I've ever had in my life.
I'm the pole with the soul.
I'm the man with the plan.
I brought the food, and I'm that cool dude.
What can I say? This is who I am.
This is what I do.
Ladies, enjoy your dinner.
I may not be able to read words or do math, but, you know, I can read body language very well, and I was able to please Ms.
Von Teese.
And yes, to me, this was technically somewhat of a date.
- It's good.
- Yeah.
As Eddie enjoys his interpretation of an evening of romance, over in the red kitchen Okay, chicken ready.
Wow, let's go.
Jackie's re-fired chicken has made its way to the dining room.
It's so fresh.
It feels really fresh in your mouth.
Let's jump to our chef's table, please.
Two tuna, one Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
Two tuna, two minutes.
Working.
Meese, how long for the wellie garnish? Ugh.
Just give me a time, Meese.
It is very hard to run the garnish station when you do not communicate.
Garnish, talk to me.
Walking with Wellington.
Char is in, right? Walking with tuna.
- Where's the garnish? - I don't know, Chef.
What is she doing? The Wellington garnish is up, isn't it? Bitch, get control of your station.
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? - Sorry.
- God, I'm trying to help you.
- Meese.
- Yes, Chef.
I don't want my guests eating on an installment plan.
Did he say "an installment plan"? He did not just say that.
Where's the mash? They're right here, Chef.
You can leave them in the pot.
- We talked about this.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Leave them in the pot.
Who put that on the tray like that? Meese.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Kris, I'm so sorry.
Hey, all of you, come here.
Come here, get in.
I'm done.
Oh, are they grounded? We have a chef's table in there tonight, sat a meter away, and look how I get the mash.
It's dumped on a [Bleep.]
tray.
I've been inside prison, and they serve food better than this [Bleep.]
.
Get in! And Meese's collapse on the garnish station has brought the red kitchen to a grinding halt.
I've been inside prison, and they serve food better than this [Bleep.]
.
We suck.
Like, we can't do this.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey, blue team.
- Yes, Chef.
Two on desserts, the rest of you jump into the red team and help them finish now.
- Yes, Chef.
- Now.
- Where we at? - Who's on fish? I'll help on fish.
What do you got working? That's already reduced in here, right here.
You kidding me, that just [Bleep.]
happened? It's [Bleep.]
burnt.
Throw it out.
These boys just, like, bum-rushed our kitchen kamikaze-style, like [Bleep.]
wa-pshh! As soon as those two tunas are ready, we'll go to the pass.
Why are you screaming? I'm not screaming.
This is how I talk! "You guys need to listen to me, 'cause I'm Hassan and I'm big and I'm lalalala.
" Shut up.
Tuna going to the window.
On your left, two fish.
Good, okay, let's go.
First ticket out, team.
Love the teamwork, guys.
With a very vocal Hassan leading the charge, the men have taken over the red kitchen And I have your tuna.
Smells so good.
Delivering entrees to the chef's table and grateful customers in the dining room.
This was definitely worth the wait.
Last table now.
Two arctic char, four Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
- Let's go, guys.
- I'm walking char.
Heard.
Walking right behind you.
She's got the wellies walking behind you.
Service, please.
Oh, it's so delicious.
All right, guys, let's clear it down.
Please thank the gentlemen for finishing your service two nights in a row.
Thank you, guys.
No problem.
Worst team ever.
Line up, ladies, quickly, line up.
First of all, I definitely did not expect to be in this position again with you.
We're a [Bleep.]
embarrassment.
Get up to the dorm and start thinking about two people that your team would be better off without.
Am I clear? Yes, Chef.
And try, for the first time, working as a [Bleep.]
team.
Now get out.
It's time to make a huge change, and honestly, I don't know if I can take another night of Jackie.
Chef Christina called her the cancer of our team.
That's the most pathetic [Bleep.]
ever.
I don't want to be on a team with someone like that.
Okay, well, who's the weakest person? Hot apps just sunk.
Yeah, I [Bleep.]
up with the water.
But you know what, at the end of the day, Meese got really behind on garshsh, and I went to help her and got out four tables' worth of garnish.
Honestly, I wasn't that brushed up on garnish because I figured the garnish was easy.
I mean, this is disgusting and pathetic.
Not like you were the shining star, bro.
But, I mean, like, we can't handle [Bleep.]
a couple tables? Can you handle a couple [Bleep.]
tables? 'Cause it looked like you [Bleep.]
up a couple [Bleep.]
tables.
No, I [Bleep.]
up one chicken, which was a hair [Bleep.]
under.
Jackie, you didn't realize that the chicken was a little bit pink? It was a little bit pink.
So why didn't you tell somebody, "I think my chicken's a little bit pink"? Because I would have served that normally any-[Bleep.]
-way.
We can't have someone on our team that thinks it's okay to serve raw chicken breast.
Listen, shut the [Bleep.]
up.
Heard.
It's not just that situation, Jackie.
You've embarrassed our team all [Bleep.]
day.
Whatever, hell.
I nominate Jackie.
This has everything to do with what happened in prep.
But I talked to chef Christina, so if chef Christina's cool, why does tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber and tweedle [Bleep.]
-face have a problem with it? This whole voting system is [Bleep.]
up.
This whole team's morale is [Bleep.]
up.
Everything is [Bleep.]
up on this [Bleep.]
team.
Everything.
After a dinner service in which the men were forced to take over the red kitchen, Chef Ramsay tasked the women with nominating two of their own for elimination.
Manda, first nominee and why.
Our first nomination is Jackie.
Her attitude has been less than desirable, and she doesn't take accountability for the mistakes that she does make.
Second nominee and why.
Our second nominee Is Meese, Chef.
She's not talking during service, Chef.
Jackie and Meese, step forward.
Meese, what is it with you in service that you just dwarf into this silence? I dont know, Chef.
You don't know? I think I should stay in hell's kitchen, because I can do this, and I can cook, and I can learn better communication skills, and I have the heart in this.
I do.
Jackie Tell my why you think you should stay in hell's kitchen.
Because I have the passion.
I am a team player.
I believe I could be a very good leader.
You seem to be an outsider.
It's a personal thing, Chef.
I mean, in service I'm extremely focused.
And during the day, you're not? I mean, I you know, I joke around during the day.
I mean, that's just my personality.
Like I said, it's a personality thing.
Manda, you're shaking your head.
What does that mean? I think Jackie is a distraction, and I think that when she is disrespectful towards authority, it makes our entire team look bad.
Tough call.
The person leaving hell's kitchen is Meese.
Take off your jacket.
You are just not ready, young lady.
Thank you.
Good night.
I've never been through anything this hard in my life.
I'm so disappointed in myself.
I was fighting to make a better life for my family, and I blew it.
Jackie, stay where you are, because I am not done yet.
Hassan Stand next to Jackie.
Hassan, not only did you step up tonight, you were the most vocal, the most confident, and you led your team.
Now I want you to do exactly the same in the red kitchen.
Yes, Chef.
The chefs' communication skills were put to the test You're making, like, a kind of burrito, and you sear it, you fry it.
Okay.
As they had to correctly relay recipes that were printed on the back of their chef jackets.
You have a carbonara, so think carbonara, okay? But on the red team, Kristin's spanakopita It looks [Bleep.]
disgusting.
Who was reading that? I was, Chef.
Meese point to the blue team.
Thanks, partner.
And Manda's burrito It is not a burrito.
It's a taquito.
Dannie did not tell me it was a [Bleep.]
taquito.
Point for the blue team.
Sunk the red team.
Congratulations.
- Yeah! - There we go! Hell yeah! Made a nice fish head soup for you.
I'm starving.
The women had to endure a disgusting punishment lunch Who has an eyeball? I'll swallow one.
And a teammate they found revolting.
Ew, what the [Bleep.]
stinks like dirty [Bleep.]
? Jackie is _ Jackie, you got to find a filter.
Sorry, that's not me.
At dinner service, Hassan's leadership Are we ready to go? Let's go, let's go, let's go! All right, I'm cutting my wellies.
Four Wellingtons on your right.
And Jared's cooking Chef, on your left with the vegetarian.
- Perfectly cooked.
- Way to go, Jared.
Gave the blue team their strongest service yet.
That's the best tuna I think I've ever had.
We're on top of the world right now.
But in the red kitchen, an untimely memory lapse Vanessa, call back the order.
Two.
Was followed by poor performances by Manda on garnish - Can we have the garnish? - They're not done.
I'm sorry, Chef.
And Meese on meat.
I'm not serving that.
I'm not serving that.
Meese! I don't know what was going through my mind.
We've put more food in the trash can than we have in the dining room.
Get out! The red team fought over who to nominate.
My Wellingtons were ready to [Bleep.]
go the whole [Bleep.]
time.
Are you out of your [Bleep.]
mind? Oh, I'm getting angry.
Who is now finally up for elimination? Meese and Amanda.
But when questioned by Chef Ramsay, Ariel went rogue, nominating Meese.
And Vanessa.
_ And it was Vanessa.
Who said good-bye to her dream of becoming head chef at BLT steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out of here.
I'm sorry, are we cooking in the same kitchen? 'Cause at this point, I don't know what the [Bleep.]
is going on with everyone.
What the [Bleep.]
happened? You really question why I don't trust you? Ariel put up Vanessa, but we agreed as a team to put up Meese and Manda.
That wasn't the decision is what I'm saying.
The team decided that Vanessa was the weakest chef.
Am I incorrect? Did I dec I never told you that.
- Okay.
- I put up my vote.
- I put up - Okay.
- Meese.
- Heard.
Well, then everybody besides you felt that Vanessa was the weakest chef and who was making the team weak, and I answered the question that chef asked me.
I gave an answer for the team.
Don't come back afterwards and be in my face.
Let you stand up there with your [Bleep.]
heart pounding, and you make that [Bleep.]
judgment call.
- Everybody else around - stop yelling at me.
Calm down.
I'm not yelling.
I'm raising my voice, and I'm asserting myself.
You will tone your voice down when you talk to me.
- Then I won't talk.
- Do you understand that? Then we won't talk.
I answered your question, then it's done.
You learn to act like an adult and tone your voice down I answered your question, Dannie.
- The conversation is now over.
- You can bring it down.
If you want to continue to talk, I will continue to raise my voice! The conversation is over, b! Well, that didn't take long for the claws to come out.
Act like an adult.
fire Uh, uh - fire - Aah! Ha ha ha! This way? - The way you walk and talk - Hey Hey! Really sets me off - to a Fuller love, child - Aah! I can't see! - The way you swerve - Aah! - And curve - Oh! Really wrecks my nerves - And I'm so excited - Aah! oh oh oh oh oh Marino! When you shake what you got - Hall-oo! - and girl you got a lot you're really somethin', child yes, you are Uhh! - Ha ha ha ha! - when you're hot you're hot, you really shoot your shot you're dyno-mite, child yeah, uh - Aah! - fire Ugh! Fire Good morning, good morning, good morning! Let's go, guys, get up, let's go! - Wake up! - Move fast.
- Uh - Let's go, hurry up.
Oh, hell no, this is way too early for this [Bleep.]
today.
Chef Ramsay's waiting for you.
Let's put these on, and you got to get out front, yeah? Yes, Chef.
Guys, let's go.
We got to hurry up, come on! I think we're going hunting.
I've been hunting by my father's side since I was eight, so when I see the camouflage and the orange, I'm like, "I get to kill something, I get to kill something.
" Hopefully I'll have blood on these hands before the day is over.
Let's go, guys.
Line up, please, let's go.
I don't know what is going on right now, but I definitely think there's some people here that should not have guns in their hands.
Jackie should never have a gun.
Whilst you guys have been sleeping, Marino and I have been enjoying the great outdoors.
How many of you have gone duck hunting before? Wow, one, two, three of you.
Hmm, seems like most of you are more comfortable hunting ducks like this, then.
Aw, what the duck? Where's my bloody shotgun? Right, today each of you are gonna be cooking a stunning duck dish.
I'm gonna put one person from each team in a single canoe.
It'll be up to you to gather five ingredients that you're both gonna be cooking with from this lake.
You'll find the name of ingredients written on the bottom of our rubber ducks.
When you get back to hell's kitchen, your dishes will be battling against each other, clear? Yes, Chef! Let's get some ducks in the water, please.
Yes, Chef! More ducks, you doughnut! No more.
Where's the rest of the ducks? Come on! - No.
- What the [Bleep.]
? You got to be kidding me.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, my god.
Drop the ducks! [Laughter.]
Yeah! - That's awesome.
- Oh, my god.
It's like Niagara Falls of rubber duckies coming out of that copter.
- You got to be kidding me.
- Oh, my god.
Your ten minutes starts Now.
For the first part of today's challenge, each pair of opponents will gather five rubber ducks, which will each list one ingredient.
I hope you got insurance.
Both chefs must use all five ingredients to create duck dishes that will go head-to-head back in hell's kitchen.
Fig, no.
Sriracha ooh, yes, Sriracha? No.
Let's go! Dried cherries? - Eh.
- No dried cherries? We're cooking against each other, and Ariel could absolutely sabotage me and play to her strengths, so I'm being firm with her on ingredients.
Prosciutto.
Prosciutto, eh.
- Crackers.
- Nah.
- Bacon.
- Eh.
How about, you know, black garlic? Nah.
Polenta you want to do polenta? I don't I mean, all right.
Do you want to go back to this patch or what? Eh.
Four minutes to go! Purple sweet potatoes.
I use those at work.
Yeah.
- I don't.
- I do.
All right.
Purple sweet potatoes is kind of the curveball, but I'm not gonna argue it.
They're [Bleep.]
potatoes.
I'm sure I can figure it out.
Two minutes to go! We need one more, man.
- Wax beans.
- Okay, fine.
I feel confident going up against Frankie.
He's a good chef, but I'm a good chef too, so I'm definitely gonna cook a better dish than frank.
- Five, four - We got to go.
- Go! - Go, go, go! Three, two, one.
And stop! Ah! Back at hell's kitchen, the chefs will have just 40 minutes and their five selected ingredients Everybody make sure you render that skin out nice.
To create a unique and delicious dish featuring duck.
I got pans on the burners for your duck heating up, okay? This is way too much.
I'm just worried about overcooking my duck, because I've never, ever cooked with duck breast this ginormous before.
I mean, they're like Ashley's boob job.
Make sure this [Bleep.]
's not bland today, honey.
They're humongous.
While Manda gets a feel for the duck breast - You score? - Yeah, I didn't season, though.
Over in the blue kitchen, Eddie works passionately to make sure his duck fits the bill.
I put in the duck first and then the lube.
It's been a few years since I worked with duck, but it's kind of like driving a manual transmission for the first time yeah, you might stall out a couple times, but once you get in your rhythm, you're smooth sailing.
No idea what I'm gonna do with these purple sweet potatoes.
While the blue team gets familiar with their ingredients No duckin' around.
Back in the red kitchen, Jackie All right, let's see how this puree comes out.
Is doing a little experimenting.
[Bleep.]
.
I'm a little nervous, because I am doing a wax bean puree that I've never, ever done before Oh, man, this is not thick enough at all.
But I have a plan and a [Bleep.]
mission.
Love this focus, ladies.
What do you say, boys? What do you say, boys? I need another minute.
You need a hand with something, Frank? - Need a hand, frank? - Uh I have not worked with duck before.
And duck isn't something, you know, that you can just walk into the kitchen and just finesse.
- Come on, baby, come on.
- 30 seconds to go.
Come on, guys! All right, frank, where are you? Mine's a little over [Bleep.]
.
Please cut right, please cut right.
Guys, plate.
Out of my way.
- Five, four - Come on, guys.
- Come on, girls.
- Three - I don't like that.
- Two, one.
And plate.
All right, blue team.
Good job, ladies.
Listen, joining me to judge today's duck challenge is a highly acclaimed chef who holds two Michelin stars.
He's the chef and owner of Mélisse restaurant in Santa Monica.
Please welcome Chef Josiah Citrin.
I want to faint right now.
I am so honored to have Chef Citrin taste my dish.
Right, first up, Manda and Joe.
Let's go, please.
In this duck challenge, Chef Ramsay and Chef Citrin will each judge the dishes on a scale of one to four.
- Here you go, Joe! - All right, Joe.
As their scores will be combined, the maximum a dish can score is eight points.
How you doing, Chef? Good afternoon.
How you doing? The first pair of chefs to face off is Manda and Joe.
His duck dish features Bok choy and a basmati rice tamale, kind of.
- Tamale? - Yes, yes.
To me, it looks more like a spring roll than a tamale.
Yeah, bok choy tamale? Exactly.
Tamale? Really, bro? Like, really? This actually tastes pretty good.
But it's not Mexican.
- No, Chef, it isn't.
- Let's get that right.
I'm gonna go with a three.
I love the flavors, three for me.
Thank you, Chef.
It would be so much better had you not mentioned that word "tamale.
" Joe, what the hell are you thinking? Come on, wake up.
Manda.
Very overcooked, the duck.
Do you know it's overcooked, Manda? - Yeah.
- Mm.
- Tastes like pork.
- Yeah, and it's very mealy.
Ugh, this is not good.
I hate disappointing Chef Ramsay.
- Way off.
- Everything's off.
- Way overcooked.
- One.
- Yeah, one as well.
- Sorry, Chef.
Manda, terrible.
Red team, what a shame.
That a boy, Joe.
That a boy.
While the men celebrate an early lead Ariel and Chad, please, let's go.
Chad puts up his duck breast with pomegranate jus.
Looks clumsy.
The flavors are good.
I'll give this one a three.
- Two for me.
- Yeah.
Against Ariel's duck breast with pomegranate glaze.
- Give this one a three as well.
- Yeah, two.
Five each.
Underwhelming, what a shame.
Jackie and Frank, please, let's go.
With the men still in the lead, Jackie's attempt at a wax bean puree There's no finesse on this at all.
Scores just five points, while frank's wax bean Risotto impresses.
- Very nice.
- Bit of a chef's dream.
- I have to go four here.
- Three for me.
Solid seven, well done, Frank.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
- Good job.
- Good job, frank.
Cooking a duck takes methods, technique, and understanding of how to cook the bird.
Right, next up, dannie and Alan.
Come on, Alan.
With the women trailing by six points, dannie hopes to close the gap with her duck and sautéed collared greens Love those collared greens.
Three for me.
Overcooked the duck.
I will give this one a two.
Against Alan's deep-fried collared greens.
It's greasy, it's bland, it's swimming in water.
There's nothing exciting, so I will just give this one a one.
I agree, a one.
Not good, Alan.
With the women still trailing, Meese is looking to get a leg up I don't understand using a duck leg without the proper time to cook it No.
When you have a beautiful breast.
With her unconventional choice of cut.
It's not as tough as I would imagine.
No, no, you're absolutely right.
- I'm gonna give it a two.
- I'm a two.
While Hassan has high hopes for his duck breast with cabbage ragout.
I know it looks visually appalling, but I think the flavors will be good.
I'm struggling a one.
Chef? I agree, a one.
Thank you, Chef.
Men 22, red team 21.
With the women catching up and only two rounds left Eddie, Ashley, let's go.
- Come on, Eddie.
- Come on, Ed.
Eddie has pulled out all the stops with his Pan-seared duck breast tossed with garlic cipollini onion.
Damn, look at that there.
Oh, dear.
We would be shut down.
Remove your stars right away.
A customer could actually choke on that.
In Chef Ramsay's duck challenge, Damn, look at that there.
Eddie has made a "foul" mistake in front of guest judge two-Michelin-star Chef Josiah Citrin.
.
A customer could actually choke on that.
This is raw raw white fat there.
Aw, damn it.
We would get shut down if we were to send a duck breast caked in fat like that out.
No one eats it when it's like that.
It's raw fat.
Like, come on, bro.
That is raw fat, and when you're in hell's kitchen, you can't be that dumb.
Shame, it's delicious.
- Yeah, flavor's good.
- Mmm.
Love that flavor.
I feel like a bipolar, just Ah, they like my flavors! Aw, they hate the skin.
Ah, they like the flavors! Aw, damn it.
I will give this two.
I'm a two.
It'll never happen again, Chef.
I hope not.
Ashley.
The sauce is blueberry infused with the pancetta fat, and the hash is infused with the duck fat.
Presentation - wise, it looks clumsy.
But the duck's seasoned beautifully.
The duck's seasoned nicely.
Flavor was nice.
I'll give this one a three.
Yeah, I'm gonna agree with chef, a three.
Ashley, good job.
Kristin and Jared.
- Come on, Jared.
- Let's go, Jared.
I got all my fingers crossed, praying for Jared, just hoping that he can bring it home for us.
Jared? I have a celery rack puree with poached mushrooms and braised purple potatoes.
It looks clumsy.
The second I put that sauce on the plate and it started running, I knew I was gonna get knocked for it.
The good news is, the duck's cooked beautifully.
Yeah, the duck is definitely the best-cooked duck so far today.
Thank you, Chef.
I'm gonna give this one a three.
It's a solid three.
Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
Kristin, describe this, please, to chef.
I have a leek and celery root puree, the pan-seared duck, and a purple sweet potato chip.
Come on, Kristin, help us out.
Make it [Bleep.]
happen, bro.
These are pretty.
They're crispy, her potatoes.
Delicious, seasoned beautifully.
Yeah, it's great.
My duck's overcooked there, unfortunately.
It's very buttery, oily.
Like, leaves a coating on your mouth.
Whew, you need five points to tie.
For me, it's a two.
A scorcher.
I feel like this one would be a one for me.
I just don't I don't I don't get it, I'm at a loss, and it just sucks.
Like, there's no excuse for that.
Ultimate embarrassment.
Congratulations, men.
Hey! Good job, bro.
Guess what, red team.
Winner, winner, ducky dinner.
Jared, good job.
Join me in thanking Chef Josiah Citrin.
.
- Best wishes, bud.
- Take care.
Best wishes, thank you.
Thank you all, guys.
Blue team, you all are in for a spectacular day in a privately chartered luxury yacht.
Nice.
What the You'll spend the entire afternoon sipping champagne and riding the waves.
After that, you're then going to make a trip to the most amazing penthouse restaurant for dinner.
And there's a few more surprises as well.
Now get out of here.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thanks, Chef.
[Bleep.]
Sweet.
Whoo! Ladies, I can assure you that your day of punishment is one of the worst.
In fact, it's somewhat "foul.
" We're gonna be receiving a large shipment of duck, and this time it's real duck.
They need to be broken down and prepared for an appetizer here in hell's kitchen.
You have a long, grueling, wretched day.
Get out of here.
Man, are you [Bleep.]
serious? This sucks bad.
I don't know what's happening with my team.
I thought we were doing good, and it's like we're getting worse.
I'm so [Bleep.]
sick of losing.
- Oh, my god, really? - Insane.
You've got to be kidding me.
Looks like a voodoo shed or something.
All right, get started on this.
This is a little disturbing, actually.
This sucks.
This is a breast, and somebody didn't cut the bones off, 'cause we don't know how to follow directions.
That's why we're [Bleep.]
here.
While the red team guts out another punishment, the blue team is off for another adventure.
Look at this, look at this! - This is it.
- Party! All aboard.
Oh, my god, we were on the biggest yacht on the water.
It was absolutely divine.
You know, you could not beat it.
I guess you could say, you know, size matters.
This is some [Bleep.]
class, right here.
Oh, there's oysters.
Oh, baby.
- Oh, that's good.
- We got crab legs.
This is outstanding.
Let's just not get shellfish.
I'm basically double-fisting oysters.
I'm I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with gout by the end of this trip.
- Bam.
- Here we go.
Ooh, we got seals! Blue team! - Oh, my god.
- [Bleep.]
.
While the men cruise towards their five-star restaurant, back at hell's kitchen Dinner is waiting for you on the patio.
The red team is sitting down to some three-toe cuisine.
What the [Bleep.]
is that? - Duck feet.
- Oh-ho-ho-ho, no.
This is just nasty, stank skin and feet and toenails and nasty cartilage.
It's really bad.
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
I can't eat this [Bleep.]
.
What is with you people? I'm eating them.
Ugh, god.
You just sprayed that hot sauce right in my eye.
I am so sorry.
I'm almost done with my plate.
Ew.
Duck foot champion of the world! Jackie's a joke.
She doesn't take this seriously at all.
She is a shame face for this team.
Kitty girl, kitty girl, kitty girl.
While the women watch Jackie's eating with disgust, the men are enjoying an amazing view from the penthouse restaurant in Santa Monica.
Yeah, it's gorgeous.
- It's quiet here.
- Hey! Is he really gonna join us? Is he really gonna sit? - How are we, guys? - Great, Chef.
Awesome.
Right, any questions? What are the worst cuts you've had in the kitchen? I'm sure you have some, like, bruisers.
What's, like, one of the worst we got? This one here.
Oh, that's a good one there.
So that was in service.
I never in my life expected to be sitting at a dining table with chef Gordon Ramsay.
With the other knife, I went in, shard broken.
I just went straight through and then came out through there, and then bang.
I don't think anything will really be able to touch this for the rest of my life.
One more question, Chef.
When this is all over, can I use you as a reference on my resume? Ha-ha, no.
That ain't happening.
It's a new day in Hell's Kitchen, and ahead of tonight's dinner service, the blue team is riding high from yesterday's challenge victory.
We have an upper hand on the girls.
Let's keep it like that.
Meanwhile, determined to put their losses behind them, the women are trying to get organized with some help from a former Hell's Kitchen winner, their sous chef Christina.
- Get your top kit set.
- Okay.
Make a list of everything you don't need.
Got it.
Every kitchen has a prep list.
Normally we don't title the list.
We just know it's the list.
Okay, this is the list.
I'm gonna put, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Jackie wrote, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Like, why would you write that? - The [Bleep.]
list? - The [Bleep.]
I didn't write that.
So respectful, right? What are you thinking, Jackie? Disrespect like that does not fly anywhere.
Is this you? It's disrespectful, is what it is.
Never again, I swear to god.
- If any shut up.
- I know.
She did not think that was very funny.
If any of this happens in this kitchen again "The [Bleep.]
list" whoever writes it will be finishing the [Bleep.]
list.
It wasn't disrespecting you.
You just interrupted me.
Take a seat.
Have a seat and sit down.
Just sit down.
Never again.
It's a professional [Bleep.]
kitchen.
You would be fired if you worked for me.
You want to have oh, you don't care? No, no.
You don't care? No, no.
It's the day of dinner service, and the red team's prep list has fallen into Jackie's hands.
I'm gonna put, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" Jackie wrote, "the [Bleep.]
list.
" But her choice of words It's disrespectful, is what it is.
Never again, I swear to god.
- If any shut up.
- I know.
Sit down, just sit down.
Has left chef Christina less than amused.
It's a professional [Bleep.]
kitchen.
You would be fired if you worked for me.
You want to have oh, you don't care? No, no.
You don't care? No, no.
This is your teammate.
Find the cancer on your team and work around it.
Jackie brought our whole morale down.
She has to go.
I'm done with her.
Go have lunch.
I'm the type of person where I can joke, joke, joke, and then, boom, jump into service and get [Bleep.]
done.
But these morons don't see that.
Jackie, you can't talk back to her.
Listen, I'm not gonna let her disrespect me.
She's our boss, dude, and you need to get back in her good graces before we start service.
Every chef that I've ever rolled my eyes at, I am totally sorry, because Karma is a bitch, and her name is Jackie.
Chef, can I talk to you? Yeah, I'll meet you in the back.
- All right.
- What's up? I feel horrible.
Writing that [Bleep.]
on the list was [Bleep.]
up.
I mean, I realize that now, you know? You have to understand that I'm in the position I am because chef Ramsay put me there.
I know.
I mean, I don't want you to think I'm not in like, really serious about this.
Then show me.
I will.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I'm not an idiot.
I knew I had to apologize as soon as I realized how pissed chef Christina was.
But, I mean, this is a cooking competition, not a personality competition.
Make sure the gas is on.
We all learned what happened last time.
We got this, come on.
Line up, guys, let's go.
Let's go, ladies, line up.
Tonight there will be some very special guests sat on our unique chef tables in your kitchens.
In the red kitchen, you're gonna be cooking for a major star of keeping up with the Kardashians.
Kris Jenner is joining you tonight.
Kris Jenner, she's, like, Oprah-huge.
I don't even know what to say.
Blue team, tonight you'll be cooking for the queen of burlesque, dita Von teese.
I'm beside myself.
You know, fan dances and, you know you know, the old calendars with the pinup girls.
That's dita Von teese.
I want both chef tables to experience a dinner that they will never forget for all the right reasons, guys.
Yes, Chef.
Good, get on your stations.
Let's go.
- Marino.
- Si, Chef? Open up hell's kitchen, please.
- Let's go.
- Subito.
The dining room is filling up with hungry customers and vip diners eager to sample Chef Ramsay's classic menu.
I'd like the butternut squash Risotto.
Tonight they'll also be treated to a special duck confit appetizer A little bit of the citrus vinaigrette.
To be served tableside by Dannie for the red kitchen and Frank for the blue.
And that's it.
All right, let's go.

shins.
[Bleep.]

Bounce back, ladies, we got it.
So I'm gonna start again with my shellfish.
While Ashley tries cooking with heat, over in the blue kitchen, it's getting hotter by the minute You guys, we have guests in the kitchen.
As world-famous burlesque star dita Von Teese is seated at the chef's table.
So this is the boys' kitchen? Be like, "I just had a beef Wellington.
" That's dita Von Teese.
It's just like ahhh Eddie Eddie Eddie, come here! Chef table's arrived.

Good evening, ladies.
Welcome tonight, how are you? My name is Eddie.
I will be waiting on you tonight.
Oh, my god, she's beautiful.
I got this.
I must say that the Risotto and the capellini are probably two of the best appetizers.
Oh, really? This would be more interesting if they were shirtless.
Eddie, I said 30 seconds in.
You're not getting their phone number let's go.
Unbelievable.
Don't spook them.
Remember, you got to be gentlemen in here tonight.
We got ladies here.
- Lamb to the pass, Chef.
- Let's go.
As the blue team starts to burn their way through appetizers This is very good.
- It's out of this world.
- Oh, I'm sure.
The red team is slipping behind.
- Ladies.
- Yes.
Blue team are on their fourth table of appetizers, and we've got [Bleep.]
-all out.
And as their vip guests file in Ladies, our guests have arrived at the chef's table.
Keeping up with the appetizers takes on a whole new meaning.
Kris Jenner, she looks fabulous.
Her shoes, everything everything, her shoes - Hi.
- Ladies, welcome.
- How are you, my darling? - Good.
You look gorgeous.
Welcome, and congratulations on the cookbook.
- Thank you.
- It looks amazing.
Dude, I was totally blinded by Kris Jenner's smile.
- Chef's table, yes? - Yes, Chef.
One Risotto, one pizza, one lamb.
Yes, Chef! I'll start the Risotto.
Risotto, I got it, let's go.
I'm not even looking up, 'cause right now she is the only person I care about.
Ashley, walk with this.

All of you, come here.
This is a risotto for Kris Jenner.
Taste it, all of you.
- Taste that.
- Needs salt, Chef.
Salt, Chef.
I've got nowhere to go now.
I swear to god hey, young lady.
Yes, Chef.
- Is this a stitch-up? - No, not at all, Chef.
- Did you taste that Risotto? - Uh, yes.
Young lady, are you serious? It's like you don't care.
Yikes.
Kris Jenner has just put out a [Bleep.]
cookbook.
If you don't care, then go home.
Dinner service has just gotten under way.
Taste it, all of you.
- Needs salt, Chef.
- Taste that.
And Manda's bland risotto for Kris Jenner has been intercepted by Chef Ramsay.
- Hey, young lady.
- Yes, Chef.
Are you serious? It's like you don't care.
Kris Jenner has just put out a [Bleep.]
cookbook.
If you don't care, then go home.
Yikes.
I'm gonna make it awesome this time, all right? Oh, my god.
Like, I'm just so stupid.
Walking Risotto! I can't believe I didn't season my Risotto.
Stupid.
Yummy.
That's the Risotto for you.
We're gonna taste it? That's exciting.
Thank you.
With the chef's table finally receiving its appetizers This is amazing.
The red team is back on track.
Enjoy.
Meanwhile, in the blue kitchen Four covers, table 12, two tuna, two chicken.
Yes, Chef! Chef Ramsay is firing the first entrees of the night.
How long, Kevin? Kevin, how long? One minute, Chef.
Why aren't you talking to your team? He's not even counting down.
He's not even with it.
- You got your sauce? - Yep.
Get your sauce in the boat.
Come on, fast, fast, fast.
My main focus in tonight's dinner service is to make sure that Kevin had everything under control on meat.
You guys going to the pass with two tuna? Right here.
I got two sauce going to the pass.
It's all about working as a team.
Keep communicating.
Keep working.
With Hassan driving the blue team Remember, on your right, Chef.
We're doing great so far.
The men are sending a steady stream of entrees out to their diners.
Table 30, yes? - It's amazing.
- Cheers.
Meanwhile, the women have hit their stride on appetizers Come on, ladies, we got this.
And are ready to move on.
First entree, two chicken, two Wellington.
Yes, Chef! Jackie, you got your chicken working? Don't worry, don't worry about it.
Drop that [Bleep.]
.
Chicken and Wellington cook at the same time.
Is your chicken down? Do you want me to poach it now? Yeah, as soon as the order comes in.
If you put in a Wellington and there's a chicken on order, drop the chicken at the same time.
She is not worried.
- How long, Jackie? - Six minutes, Chef.
You need rest time for the chicken.
If you think about it, by the time yeah, yeah, I got you.
Meat is it's not that hard.
Walking with chicken.
Did Meese walk with the garnish yet? Yes.
Chicken, Chef.
Go.
Pink [Bleep.]
chicken.
Ugh, [Bleep.]
Me.
All of you, come here.
All of you! Is the chicken uh-oh, they're in trouble.
Pink [Bleep.]
chicken.
Oh, man.
My fault, guys.
Who sliced that? I did.
And you can't see that's pink? Very slightly pink.
Listen, would I have really sold that chicken? Eh Get it back in the oven.
Why are we staring at it? Jackie's not as good as a cook as she thinks, and there is no place for her in chef Ramsay's kitchen, and I'll tell you that right now.
Her days are numbered.
- Re-fire.
- We're re-firing everything.
With the red team completely stalled by Jackie's pink chicken, in the blue kitchen - Go.
- Eddie.
Yes, Chef.
Entrees, you serve, for the chef's table let's go.
Dita Von Teese is ready for Eddie.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
You guys are going to go crazy over this tuna, some of the best I've ever had in my life.
I'm the pole with the soul.
I'm the man with the plan.
I brought the food, and I'm that cool dude.
What can I say? This is who I am.
This is what I do.
Ladies, enjoy your dinner.
I may not be able to read words or do math, but, you know, I can read body language very well, and I was able to please Ms.
Von Teese.
And yes, to me, this was technically somewhat of a date.
- It's good.
- Yeah.
As Eddie enjoys his interpretation of an evening of romance, over in the red kitchen Okay, chicken ready.
Wow, let's go.
Jackie's re-fired chicken has made its way to the dining room.
It's so fresh.
It feels really fresh in your mouth.
Let's jump to our chef's table, please.
Two tuna, one Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
Two tuna, two minutes.
Working.
Meese, how long for the wellie garnish? Ugh.
Just give me a time, Meese.
It is very hard to run the garnish station when you do not communicate.
Garnish, talk to me.
Walking with Wellington.
Char is in, right? Walking with tuna.
- Where's the garnish? - I don't know, Chef.
What is she doing? The Wellington garnish is up, isn't it? Bitch, get control of your station.
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? - Sorry.
- God, I'm trying to help you.
- Meese.
- Yes, Chef.
I don't want my guests eating on an installment plan.
Did he say "an installment plan"? He did not just say that.
Where's the mash? They're right here, Chef.
You can leave them in the pot.
- We talked about this.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Leave them in the pot.
Who put that on the tray like that? Meese.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Kris, I'm so sorry.
Hey, all of you, come here.
Come here, get in.
I'm done.
Oh, are they grounded? We have a chef's table in there tonight, sat a meter away, and look how I get the mash.
It's dumped on a [Bleep.]
tray.
I've been inside prison, and they serve food better than this [Bleep.]
.
Get in! And Meese's collapse on the garnish station has brought the red kitchen to a grinding halt.
I've been inside prison, and they serve food better than this [Bleep.]
.
We suck.
Like, we can't do this.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey, blue team.
- Yes, Chef.
Two on desserts, the rest of you jump into the red team and help them finish now.
- Yes, Chef.
- Now.
- Where we at? - Who's on fish? I'll help on fish.
What do you got working? That's already reduced in here, right here.
You kidding me, that just [Bleep.]
happened? It's [Bleep.]
burnt.
Throw it out.
These boys just, like, bum-rushed our kitchen kamikaze-style, like [Bleep.]
wa-pshh! As soon as those two tunas are ready, we'll go to the pass.
Why are you screaming? I'm not screaming.
This is how I talk! "You guys need to listen to me, 'cause I'm Hassan and I'm big and I'm lalalala.
" Shut up.
Tuna going to the window.
On your left, two fish.
Good, okay, let's go.
First ticket out, team.
Love the teamwork, guys.
With a very vocal Hassan leading the charge, the men have taken over the red kitchen And I have your tuna.
Smells so good.
Delivering entrees to the chef's table and grateful customers in the dining room.
This was definitely worth the wait.
Last table now.
Two arctic char, four Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
- Let's go, guys.
- I'm walking char.
Heard.
Walking right behind you.
She's got the wellies walking behind you.
Service, please.
Oh, it's so delicious.
All right, guys, let's clear it down.
Please thank the gentlemen for finishing your service two nights in a row.
Thank you, guys.
No problem.
Worst team ever.
Line up, ladies, quickly, line up.
First of all, I definitely did not expect to be in this position again with you.
We're a [Bleep.]
embarrassment.
Get up to the dorm and start thinking about two people that your team would be better off without.
Am I clear? Yes, Chef.
And try, for the first time, working as a [Bleep.]
team.
Now get out.
It's time to make a huge change, and honestly, I don't know if I can take another night of Jackie.
Chef Christina called her the cancer of our team.
That's the most pathetic [Bleep.]
ever.
I don't want to be on a team with someone like that.
Okay, well, who's the weakest person? Hot apps just sunk.
Yeah, I [Bleep.]
up with the water.
But you know what, at the end of the day, Meese got really behind on garshsh, and I went to help her and got out four tables' worth of garnish.
Honestly, I wasn't that brushed up on garnish because I figured the garnish was easy.
I mean, this is disgusting and pathetic.
Not like you were the shining star, bro.
But, I mean, like, we can't handle [Bleep.]
a couple tables? Can you handle a couple [Bleep.]
tables? 'Cause it looked like you [Bleep.]
up a couple [Bleep.]
tables.
No, I [Bleep.]
up one chicken, which was a hair [Bleep.]
under.
Jackie, you didn't realize that the chicken was a little bit pink? It was a little bit pink.
So why didn't you tell somebody, "I think my chicken's a little bit pink"? Because I would have served that normally any-[Bleep.]
-way.
We can't have someone on our team that thinks it's okay to serve raw chicken breast.
Listen, shut the [Bleep.]
up.
Heard.
It's not just that situation, Jackie.
You've embarrassed our team all [Bleep.]
day.
Whatever, hell.
I nominate Jackie.
This has everything to do with what happened in prep.
But I talked to chef Christina, so if chef Christina's cool, why does tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber and tweedle [Bleep.]
-face have a problem with it? This whole voting system is [Bleep.]
up.
This whole team's morale is [Bleep.]
up.
Everything is [Bleep.]
up on this [Bleep.]
team.
Everything.
After a dinner service in which the men were forced to take over the red kitchen, Chef Ramsay tasked the women with nominating two of their own for elimination.
Manda, first nominee and why.
Our first nomination is Jackie.
Her attitude has been less than desirable, and she doesn't take accountability for the mistakes that she does make.
Second nominee and why.
Our second nominee Is Meese, Chef.
She's not talking during service, Chef.
Jackie and Meese, step forward.
Meese, what is it with you in service that you just dwarf into this silence? I dont know, Chef.
You don't know? I think I should stay in hell's kitchen, because I can do this, and I can cook, and I can learn better communication skills, and I have the heart in this.
I do.
Jackie Tell my why you think you should stay in hell's kitchen.
Because I have the passion.
I am a team player.
I believe I could be a very good leader.
You seem to be an outsider.
It's a personal thing, Chef.
I mean, in service I'm extremely focused.
And during the day, you're not? I mean, I you know, I joke around during the day.
I mean, that's just my personality.
Like I said, it's a personality thing.
Manda, you're shaking your head.
What does that mean? I think Jackie is a distraction, and I think that when she is disrespectful towards authority, it makes our entire team look bad.
Tough call.
The person leaving hell's kitchen is Meese.
Take off your jacket.
You are just not ready, young lady.
Thank you.
Good night.
I've never been through anything this hard in my life.
I'm so disappointed in myself.
I was fighting to make a better life for my family, and I blew it.
Jackie, stay where you are, because I am not done yet.
Hassan Stand next to Jackie.
Hassan, not only did you step up tonight, you were the most vocal, the most confident, and you led your team.
Now I want you to do exactly the same in the red kitchen.
Yes, Chef.
