Hell's Kitchen (2005) s15e06 Episode Script
12 Chefs Compete
1 (male narrator) Previously on Hell's Kitchen Dannie was less than impressed with her team's newest member, Hassan.
What I need you to do is take a backseat.
You're not taking constructive criticism.
What you're not gonna do is talk to me like that.
I say whatever the [bleep.]
I want.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
(narrator) But the following morning in the Holiday Platter Challenge Oh, hello.
Screw the competition, I'm going with these ladies.
(narrator) Hassan scored big points for his new team with his Cinco de Mayo sope.
It's all my favorite things.
Hassan, welcome to the Red Team.
(narrator) While the Blue were hurt by Alan's arroz con pollo, which was no bueno I'm not too sure of the authenticity of the Cinco de Mayo.
(narrator) And Kevin's Mardi Gras-inspired jambalaya.
The rice is undercooked.
- Is that worthy of a point? - Unfortunately not.
(narrator) These two misses by the Blue made it a lot easier for the Red Team to score a victory.
(Gordon) Congratulations, Red Team.
(narrator) At dinner service, it was family night in Hell's Kitchen.
(narrator) And while the Red Team was a dysfunctional mess Mistake after mistake after mistake.
Nobody's on the same page! (narrator) Over in the Blue Kitchen Kevin, how long? Where are the scallops? (narrator) Kevin was a problem child.
Overcooked, raw! This is a joke! What in the [bleep.]
is going on in here? (narrator) And Chef Ramsay was not happy with just a time-out.
You, get your apron off, get packed, and [bleep.]
off out! (narrator) And so, in the middle of service, Kevin was kicked out of Hell's Kitchen for good.
Unfortunately, neither team really recovered.
Pathetic Aah! Embarrassing Raw fish! Lazy.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out! [sighs.]
It was embarrassing tonight.
(narrator) In the dorm, Ashley had Jackie's back.
I can't justify putting her up because of her grill from the past few days.
(narrator) But in front of Chef Ramsay Ashley, weakest two.
(narrator) It was more like a knife to the back.
(Ashley) Amanda and Jackie, Chef.
(narrator) Despite Ashley's preference, the majority of the Red Team nominated Amanda and Kristin.
(narrator) And the Blue Team nominated Alan.
- Along with - Joe.
- But it was - Alan.
(narrator) Who said good-bye to his dream of becoming head chef at BLT Steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
As for the Red Team, Kristin was spared.
Back in line.
(narrator) And Manda You're now in the Blue Team.
(narrator) Was reassigned.
I'm just so happy to be on the Blue Team.
Every single person on that Red Team is bat [bleep.]
crazy.
Get out of here.
(narrator) And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Ashley definitely showed her true colors today.
Two-faced, and both faces is ugly, so she got really [bleep.]
on that deal.
Ashley, why are you so full of [bleep.]
? (Ashley) If you'd have said, "Chef, Ashley's the weaker chef," I would have sat there, like, with my mouth shut.
Did you or did you not say that I was better than Kristin, Amanda, and a lot of people? You are two-faced.
I do not give a [bleep.]
what you think of me.
Yeah, obviously.
I just don't like two-faced, fake-ass bitches with fake-ass [bleep.]
.
Who give a [bleep.]
if I have fake boobs? You're fake.
Shut the [bleep.]
up, dude.
You know what I should be doing? Breaking your [bleep.]
face right now.
You know, you should have watched, like, "how to cook" videos before you came here.
Oh, you upset? Go cry in your room, little girlie.
Just stop talking, Jackie.
You could never run a kitchen, honey.
Never in a million [bleep.]
years.
Oh, whoo.
Ooh.
Scared-ass bitch.
Oh, Chef Ramsay, Jackie's the weakest.
Get the [bleep.]
out of my face.
During the signature dish, I beat this bitch, I beat that bitch, I beat that bitch.
I tied your fluffy-headed ass.
[laughs.]
We're not turning into that.
They're nuts.
They're really [bleep.]
nuts.
Like, I'm the only levelheaded person on that [bleep.]
team.
Well, you're Blue now.
My prayers have been answered.
Ain't no chance in hell you're getting me back on that team.
Oh, no.
[bleep.]
donkeys over there.
Hee haw! [bleep.]
donkeys, yo.
Nobody should be talked to that way.
- You're right.
- I would never [bleep.]
disrespect somebody like that.
It's a competition.
We're not here to be friends, but you can't talk to somebody like that.
Go ahead and be a [bleep.]
bully and [bleep.]
, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna be here long after you.
I'm here for you.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
(man) Fire [wind howls, sign tears.]
Uh uh - Fire - [screams.]
[laughs.]
This way? - Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey! - [engine purring.]
- Really sets me off - To a full alarm, child - [screams.]
I can't see! - [screams.]
- The way you swerve - And curve - [shudders.]
Oh.
(man) Really wrecks my nerves [roars.]
[screams.]
- [gasps.]
- Ooh ooh ooh (Kristin) Marino! Ciao, belli (man) And, girl, you got a lot [horn resounds.]
- Yes, you are - [grunts.]
- [laughs.]
- When you're hot You're hot You really shoot your shot You're dyno-mite child [explosion.]
Yeah, uh, uh [both scream.]
(man) Fire [grunts.]
(man) Fire Woo woo woo woo woo (narrator) After a night of high drama [telephone rings.]
Hello? I need everyone to get dressed and get outside.
(narrator) An early-morning wake-up call has the chefs off and running.
(Gordon) Let's go, guys.
Let's go.
Line up.
- Right, good morning.
- Good morning, Chef.
(Gordon) Sometimes when I need inspiration I take a trip down to the local market.
There's nothing more inspiring than fresh ingredients, right? (all) Yes, Chef.
For today's challenge, I'm giving all of you the opportunity to cook with whatever fresh ingredients you want.
How good does that sound? (all) Great, Chef.
- A chef's dream, right? - Yes, Chef.
As a team, you'll be gathering ingredients, but you will not be shopping in there.
You'll be shopping out here.
Marino.
- Oh, no.
- Si, Chef, buongiorno.
[laughs.]
- Oh.
- "Hell's Cucina.
" - Buongiorno, Chef.
- Bibbidy boobidy, yes, Chef.
Boobidy ba.
Andiamo! Bibbidy boobidy.
Buongiorno.
What are we waiting for? Marino, bring out the rest of the carts.
[whistles.]
Let's go.
Andiamo.
[Hassan groans.]
(Ashley) They're not even in order.
(Eddie) Oy.
Oh, are you kidding me? There was a lot of scrambled letters out there.
It was like alphabet soup out in that [bleep.]
parking lot of that grocery store.
Today, as a team, you're all going to be spelling out the names of ingredients that you wish to work with.
Everybody on your team will be using the same ingredients for their individual dish.
Your ten minutes starts now.
Good luck.
(narrator) In the first part of today's challenge Walk and talk.
Walk and talk.
(narrator) Each team's teamwork, communication, and judgment will be tested, as they will have just ten minutes to correctly spell the six ingredients Do we want to do fish or meat? (narrator) That they all must later use to create their own individual dishes.
- We can make - Fish.
- I like halibut.
- Okay.
(Jackie) So halibut.
Want to do salmon? Yeah, we immediately agreed on salmon.
(Joe) I'll start it.
(Manda) And we're in the middle of this whole sea of carts, and it's just, like, letters all over the place.
- "S.
" - We need an "A.
" I got it, right here, right here.
(Manda) I felt like a cheerleader again.
It's, like, S-A-L-M-O-N.
Salmon! (Gordon) Make sure your spelling's right (Hassan) What are you guys getting next? - Beets.
- Beets? Two minutes gone.
Come on, Red Team.
What do you guys think squash, right? Let's work with squash.
We need another "S.
" I'm working.
I'm working.
I'm working.
We don't have another "S.
" We are dying for Ss.
We need two Ss.
Red Team all over the place.
They've got no S on "beets.
" So then you're gonna end up with one beet.
[bleep.]
! Well, let's just do beet, singular.
Look, the S is back there.
- Yeah, you're right.
- [laughs.]
(narrator) While the Red Team seems to be S out of luck Five minutes to go, halfway! (narrator) The Blue seems to be having no problems getting the letters they need.
(Eddie) We need two more, two more! It was almost like a demolition derby.
[engine revs.]
[tires screech.]
Okay, we got one.
Moving on.
What are we doing? L-E-M-O-N.
Two and a half minutes to go! Go, go, go! I'm running my ass off, almost passed out.
I need an "A.
" I sweated, like, three [bleep.]
sizes down.
I'm, like, a B cup now.
(Hassan) Fingerlings What are you guys grabbing next? 60 seconds to go! All right, guys, we got one more.
What's the last one? (all) Rice.
(Chad) I don't want to do rice, Jared.
(Gordon) 20 seconds, let's go! - I got it.
I got it.
Move! - Bringing it in! Five, four We're solid.
Three, two, one.
- We're good.
- Well done.
(Gordon) Give yourselves a round of applause.
Well done.
Wow, great array of ingredients.
However, I would love for you all to have some creative freedom.
When I say "go," you've all got 60 seconds to run into the grocery store and grab one amazing ingredient that will set your dish apart.
Your one minute starts now! (Chad) Produce.
Vino in the back.
Joe, vino in the back.
Tomato.
My chef shoes are not really the best for a sprint, but I immediately go for bacon.
Bacon makes everything better.
Oh, where's the Jersey tomatoes? (Aaron) Hurry up, Chad.
Hurry up.
Five, four, three, two, one, time.
Let's go.
(narrator) Back at Hell's Kitchen, each chef will have 30 minutes to create a unique dish, using the six ingredients they spelled out as a team 30 minutes and counting.
Let's go.
(narrator) Plus the one special ingredient they selected to elevate and set their dish apart.
Welcome aboard.
- Thank you, Chef.
- What are you making? I think I'm just gonna keep it nice and simple.
Do a little tomato salad with some fennel Tomatoes, really? You have everything in the [bleep.]
grocery store, and you go for tomatoes? We're all kind of looking at Amanda like this is your time to shine, and I'm already nervous.
(Aaron) Are you all using the same type of rice? - No.
- No.
I've got basmati down.
I'm doing black rice.
I'm gonna take a risk and go for the black rice, even though I know it's a long cook time.
It pairs really well with salmon.
I feel like I can make it work.
(Gordon) Just over ten minutes to go.
- Yes, Chef! - Ten minutes, heard.
- Coming down, coming down.
- Heard, heard.
Watch this halibut, guys.
Somebody, whose halibut is this? Watch it.
(Jackie) Mine, I know.
Hass, this is, like, kind of burning.
Right, here, you got to figure something out real fast.
(Jackie) I got to get out of a situation, and I know I can fix it.
I know I can come back.
I think I'm gonna cut the end off.
You're at a point right now, you got to make it the best you can.
Jackie, come on.
You need to figure your [bleep.]
out, 'cause you're obviously all over the [bleep.]
place.
(Gordon) 60 seconds to go.
Come on, Blue Team.
(Aaron) Guys, how are we looking? We should be plating.
- We should be almost done.
- I'm plating.
I'm plating.
(Manda) Somebody taste this rice for me.
Salt, it needs salt bad.
- Got it.
- Very hot, very hot.
(Gordon) Five, four Up on the pass.
Up on the pass.
(Gordon) Three, two, one, and stop.
Well done, guys.
(Manda) I have a lot riding on this dish.
Please don't let me fail.
Like, I need to prove myself to these guys.
Okay, listen carefully.
Today I'll be judging each dish on a scale of one to five.
Clearly, the team with the most points at the end wins the challenge.
Let's begin with the Blue Team.
Chad, bring your salmon up.
Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
- Go, Chad.
All right, Blue.
Let's get it back.
Describe the dish, please.
Poached salmon, you've got the black rice finished with parsnip purée.
And then the grapefruit fennel mignonette on top of the salmon.
Purée's delicious, Chad.
Thank you.
And the salmon's cooked perfectly.
Rice it's undercooked.
I mean, I feel like I'm in Afghanistan with a mouthful of bullets.
- I can only give you a three.
- All right.
I'm just really disappointed.
Stupid, stupid mistake.
(narrator) With Chad's misfire on the black rice It's all right.
All eyes are now on Eddie, who will try and score big with his pan-seared salmon and white wine Swiss chard.
That salmon's cooked beautifully.
So that is a very strong four.
Good job.
Well done.
Thank you, Chef.
I'm just so happy, I kind of wanted to give him a hug.
- Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) With a strong showing from Eddie (Gordon) Frank, let's go.
(narrator) It's Frank's turn to impress with his pan-seared salmon and brandy cream sauce.
Salmon's cooked beautifully.
However, a little bit too much cream there.
It's a three.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
(Joe) Way to go, Frankie! Blue Team so far, ten.
(narrator) Now, the pressure is on Jared with his salmon, white-rice and orange fennel salad.
Salmon's cooked beautifully.
- Thank you, Chef.
- However, the rice is plain.
It's a three.
Three out of five.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
Manda, let's go.
- Yes, Chef.
- Come on, Amanda.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
- Excuse me, boys.
Your debut dish on the Blue Team.
What is that? So I have a pan-seared salmon with a tomato fennel salad on top.
Love the fennel and tomato salad.
That's a very solid four.
Good job.
Good job.
Hell, yeah, we'll take this chick on our team.
- Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
(Manda) I needed this little boost of confidence for myself, and I needed these girls over here to see what they just lost.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
(narrator) So far, the Blue Team have accumulated a respectable score, but with one dish left to taste Let's go, Joe.
The pressure is now on Joe to deliver for his team.
Describe the dish, please.
I have a pan-seared salmon with creamy leeks and char.
I mean, it looks very simple But it delivers a delicious punch.
Yes.
Joe, that's a five.
Thank you, Chef.
- Yeah, Joey! - Yeah, Joe! Yeah, Joey! - Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
(Manda) Yeah, Joe! Yeah, Joey! That's how you bring it home, boy! Yeah, Joey, yeah! Blue Team, 22 out of 30.
That's a very, very strong start.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good going, Joe.
- Thank you.
- Go, Joe.
- [bleep.]
.
- Way to go, Joe.
(Eddie) Everybody nailed it.
Red Team, you got your work cut out for you.
Jackie, let's go.
(Jackie) I'm confident on my dish.
I mean, I know the fish did not come out the way I wanted, but the way I plated it, it looked beautiful.
That bit there looks like a dog's chewed at it.
Why is it like that? What have you done to it? You know I like my dishes small.
I don't give a [bleep.]
what you like.
Where's the other piece of halibut? (narrator) So far in today's challenge, the Blue Team has scored an impressive 22 points, and Jackie is up first for the Red Team.
You know I like my dishes small.
I don't give a [bleep.]
what you like.
But it doesn't appear as though Jackie's halibut is making the cut.
Where's the other piece of halibut? I cut the end off.
I thought it was too big, Chef.
(Kristin) Jackie, that looked like a halibut had been thrown on the road and seared with the grille of a car.
Two out of five.
Piss off.
(narrator) After Jackie's poor showing, Ariel is looking to make up ground with her Pan-seared halibut and bacon-fat vinaigrette.
There's white wine to kind of add a sweet element to the dish.
That's five for five.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
- Brilliant.
- Nice.
Ariel, that's one of the most delicious dishes you've done so far in this competition.
- Thank you so much, Chef.
- Good job.
(narrator) Up next is Hassan with his halibut and andouille sausage hash.
The dish is missing one thing.
What is that, Chef? It's called a sauce.
This is a three out of five.
After Hassan's disappointing dish, it's Kristin's turn to try and wow Chef Ramsay with her almond and brown butter sauce.
Beets, a touch crunchy.
That's the only defect on that dish.
That's a solid four.
- Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
Really good job.
[bleep.]
.
[sighs.]
(narrator) After a strong showingfrom Kristin - Dannie.
- Come on, Dannie.
(narrator) Dannie is up next with her halibut topped with apricot chutney.
(Gordon) Just a tad too sweet.
Dannie, that's a three out of five.
Get back in line, please.
Yes, Chef.
Last up, Ashley, let's go, please.
As the last member of the Red Team, Ashley must score a perfect five to tie the Blue Team.
Describe the dish, please.
(Ashley) What I have for you is a pan-seared halibut with a sweet curry broth.
You know, it's sweet and spicy but aromatic.
Ashley, that's a five for five again.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
Yes.
Brilliant, really good job.
Thank you.
That's 22 to the Red, 22 to the Blue.
[bleep.]
! I'm gonna break the tie with the best dish overall.
So high score on the Blue was Joe.
Ariel and Ashley, bring your dishes back, please.
You got this, brother.
My Philly brethren Joey, it's the City of Brotherly Love we come from, and the brotherly love is there.
Come on, boy, you got this.
(Gordon) Oh, this is so tough.
The dish of the day Belongs to Ashley.
Well done.
Red Team wins.
Great job.
Thank you, Chef.
(Kristin) Good job.
Oh, it's the best feeling there is.
I've been waiting my entire life to hear him say those words.
I have thrown some twists and turns your way.
But today I am throwing in some loops and barrel rolls because all of you are gonna be soaring through the air in an amazing stunt plane.
- Whoo-hoo! - I'm scared.
I'm very excited.
They don't let my people on stunt planes.
The experience is once in a lifetime.
Go and get changed, because your ride is waiting.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
Ashley, well done.
Thank you.
(Gordon) Good job.
Blue Team, I am putting a unique Spanish twist on tomorrow night's service.
No Spanish night would be complete with a jug of Tequila.
Sangria.
Thank you, Joe.
So I want the ingredients prepared by hand all the apples peeled, quartered, diced, and then those grapes as well.
Not an easy task.
Now, piss off.
- Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
I might as well go beat my [bleep.]
against the door and see which punishment feels worse.
(Joe) I wanted to go up in a [bleep.]
stunt plane.
(narrator) While the Blue Team is grounded in Hell's Kitchen, the victorious Red is about to take flight.
Oh, you can't smoke in here.
[laughs.]
Jackie, I don't hate you, if I die, okay? I don't hate you either, if we die.
I could die at any second.
I don't want there to be any animosity.
Jackie, how do I look? Adorable.
I think Jackie and I have kind of buried the hatchet.
(man) Here we go.
Whoo! Oh, [bleep.]
! Oh, my God! This is so amazing.
Oh, my Lord.
(man) Okay, you got it.
You fly it for me.
Ease forward, build up some speed.
I didn't do any training for this.
(man) Now give me a roll to the left on the count of three, two, one, hard left, go.
- Hard over.
- Whoo! [laughs.]
Oh, my God, this is so cool.
Oh, wow.
Awesome.
Oh, my God! Whoo! [laughs.]
My stomach was in my throat.
My throat was in my [bleep.]
.
It felt like I was gonna, like, cry and puke and laugh all at the same time.
[screams.]
- Look out the side.
- Whoo! (man) Look at this view.
We're floating.
(Kristin) That is so cool! [screams.]
[screams.]
I literally thought I birthed a teenager in that [bleep.]
thing.
That's how much I was clenching.
[laughs.]
(Ashley) Thank you, Chef Ramsay! (Jackie) I'm alive! (narrator) While the Red Team is having the thrill ride of their lives, the Blue Team's punishment is the pits.
This really blows.
I think Joe's getting out that little bit of rage that built up from losing the competition.
(Joe) It's a pain in the ass.
[grumbling.]
[imitates crack, whistles.]
(Manda) These grapes are a bitch.
I just got [bleep.]
in the eyeball.
Chef Ramsay, please, just, like, don't do me like this.
(Joe) I hate grapes.
I hope someone out on the street asks me to peel them a grape.
You're gonna be working with somebody, and they'll be like, "Yeah, we got some grapes to peel.
" I'm gonna go burn the first vineyard I see to the [bleep.]
ground.
I don't care if it's that Martha's bitch's either.
[laughter.]
You psycho.
(narrator) Coming up next will Joe's behavior go from bad He's going to the wrong table Joe.
I just need to know where the [bleep.]
it is.
(narrator) To worse? You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
(narrator) After a day in which the Red Team soared and the Blue Team labored (both) Morning, Chef.
(all) Morning, Chef.
(narrator) Both teams are in the kitchen early to prep for dinner service.
(Ariel) How much cream are you putting in the beurre blanc? I do about a cup, and then you reduce down to half.
So a pint, a half a pint? I do a cup.
A pint or a half a pint? I do a cup.
Where's the cup measurer? No, I do it by eye, a cup.
You can't measure a cup with your eyes? It's not my fault Ariel can't measure out a cup with her eyes.
You're a girl.
You're a chef.
You should know what a cup size is, okay? - You don't do it by eye.
- Looks ready.
It's done.
(Ariel) There's a recipe for a reason.
You are [bleep.]
aggravating me right now.
(Ashley) Jackie, when your best friend in this competition is starting to get annoyed with you, then you know you have a serious problem.
So you need to make this [bleep.]
beurre blanc, bro.
Here, you need to do this.
I'm not doing it by eye.
I follow recipes.
Oof.
Let's go.
Ariel, vocal, leadership qualities, yes? - Yes, Chef.
- Good.
- Hassan.
- Yes, Chef? Cooking with confidence.
- Always, Chef.
- Timing.
- Not getting backed up, yes? - Yes, Chef.
Let's go, guys.
Let's go.

- Attack service, yes? - Yes, Chef.
Start boiling for the risotto.
Good.
- Marino.
- Si, Chef.
Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
- Let's go.
- Subito.
[engine revs.]
(narrator) Once again, the restaurant is fully booked with anxious diners determined to experience everything Hell's Kitchen has to offer.
I'm pretty much sold on anything that says "truffle" in it.
There's four of us.
Let's take one of each.
- One of each? - Doors are open.
Ticket time.
We're gonna rock it out today, guys.
(narrator) Tonight, in addition to the classic menu - The risotto.
- The risotto.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay has added an octopus romesco special You want a nice crunchiness to it.
Which will be served table side by Kristin for the Red Team and Joe for the Blue Team.
First order, here we go.
Red Team, good luck.
(Gordon) On order, four covers, table 32 one special app table side, two risotto.
- Yes, Chef! - Two risotto.
How long until you're out? You got three minutes yet, Ariel? I got three minutes, babe.
Okay, I got my tails going right now.
I'm feeling very confident that I'm working the fish station.
I'm gonna [bleep.]
rock it out, just like I rock it out every day.
I'm not sweating it at all.
Walking to the pass with the first two risottos.
Chef, two risottos right behind you.
- Ariel.
- Yes, Chef.
- Delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.
Where's the [bleep.]
lobster? Come on, Hassan, just hurry up! 10 seconds, Chef.
15 seconds.
I'm sorry, Chef.
Hass, you look like you're melting into the lobster.
I guess it's the Red Team's secret ingredient.
Hey, young man, psst.
Yes, Chef? You're sweating into the lobster.
It's dripping.
I don't want a [bleep.]
lobster covered in your sweat.
Is there a bandana or something, please? (narrator) While Hassan sweats over a refire on his first appetizer, the Blue Team starts on their first order of appetizers.
On order, 4 covers table 22, one special table side, one carbonara, two scallops.
(all) Yes, Chef.
Hey, two minutes on those scallops.
Two minutes, two minutes out.
Why do we call back, Jared? Why do we call back? So we communicate so we know each other's times.
When I learned this system, it was in French.
And when you're begging for one more minute, it was crucial, we got one more minute.
You've got to talk, yes? Oui.
What the hell is going on? All of a sudden, Jared is speaking in French.
Oui.
So they are really super hot now.
So you lift them up there as well.
- Oui.
- Okay? And that comes over there, so you're there now.
- Oui.
- There you go.
Are you [bleep.]
kidding me? Frank, I can sell the carbonara first, oui? Try to [bleep.]
talk like that in Brooklyn, you know what'd happen? I would pick this [bleep.]
thing up, right? I would pick this up and I would put it over his [bleep.]
head.
All right, guys, we're getting off to a great start.
Keep it going.
We're not slowing down, oui? (Gordon) Service, please.
(narrator) With Jared saying au revoir to the first order of the evening Hassan and Ariel Two minutes, not even, on my tails, okay? Heard.
I got you, baby.
Are trying to bid adieu to their first appetizer.
Two minutes on my risotto.
Two minutes on the lobster tail.
We're all gonna meet at the pass at the same time.
Perfect, perfect.
Ariel, always the sign of a great leader supporting the weakest and getting them to the very top.
Seriously? These bitches need to bottle my sweat and drink it.
It'll make you a better [bleep.]
line cook.
Risotto, Chef, right in between here.
Lobster tail, Chef.
Good.
Delicious, the risotto.
Ariel, got off to a good start.
- Keep it up now, okay? - Yes, Chef.
Don't start sitting back, yes? Heard, Chef.
If I want to impress Chef Ramsay, I just have to be a [bleep.]
beast.
I'm always a [bleep.]
beast.
I was born a beast, all right? And I will be a beast from here on out.
[roars.]
(narrator) Ariel has her team off to a fierce start, impressing not only Chef Ramsay Ready? Service, please.
But the customers as well.
(woman) Really good.
(narrator) Meanwhile, Joe is struggling just to find his diners.
He's going to the wrong table Joe.
Joe, what's going on? - 23, 23.
- 23.
- 23.
- Yeah, what do you need? I just need to know where the [bleep.]
it is.
What's he doing there? What's that [bleep.]
[bleep.]
little donkey doing out there? 23.
It's this way.
I'll show you.
Watch your language.
Regardless of what's going on in my head or in the kitchen, I'm a people person.
I'm always good with the people.
How yous doing today? - I'm hungry.
- Oh, okay.
(Joe) Well, we'll fix that in a hurry.
I can always turn on the charm.
Romesco sauce, potatoes.
- Joe! - Yeah? Move your ass! - Here you go.
Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Joe, get your [bleep.]
ass in here, now.
My mom never yelled at me this much.
Hey, you, come here, you.
Yes, Chef.
What's all this on here? It's a brand-new jacket.
You look like a sack of [bleep.]
on a hot day.
You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
Get out! (narrator) It's 45 minutes into dinner service, and Joe's sense of direction He's going to the wrong table Joe.
(narrator) And lack of cleanliness What's all this on here? It's a brand-new jacket.
Has Chef Ramsay at the end of his rope.
You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
Get out! Get changed! Hurry up! I don't have another clean chef [bleep.]
find one.
I don't care, find one! Two Arctic char, two New York strip.
What do you need? What do you need? [bleep.]
coat! Come on! I would never think of talking back to Chef Ramsay.
[bleep.]
! But part of me was like, "Yo, bro! "What the [bleep.]
you want me to do about it? "You want me to feed these tables, or is this a [bleep.]
fashion show?" (narrator) While Joe gets on another chef jacket, the Red Team is suiting up for entrées.
Right, Dannie, Jackie.
- Yes.
- Over to you now, okay? - Yes, Chef.
- Entrée.
Two New York strip, two Wellington, yes? - Got it, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Six minutes to the window.
All right, Red Team, we got this.
There's no room for error.
Let's go.
Where you at, Jackie? How long you need? Jackie? Jackie, two strips, two Wellington.
(Jackie) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Walking with garnish.
How long, Dannie? I got strip right here for you, Chef.
(Gordon) Come on, Dannie.
Right now, Chef.
Right behind.
Red Team.
Yeah, all of you, come here.
New York strip, pink, right? (Ariel) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Visually, what does that look like? - Well done.
- Well done.
I'm not sending it.
I don't want you to send my mistake, Chef.
No [bleep.]
way.
(Dannie) Jackie, you just completely screwed me.
I held on to my steak a little longer because garnish wasn't ready.
(Hassan) Fire two more.
Come on, let's go, fast! Pick it up! Pick it up! (narrator) While Dannie refires her New York strip, back in the Blue kitchen, Frank on fish and Chad on meat are trying to push out entrées.
Two Arctic char, two New York strip, how long? We're going in three minutes.
Chars are out! They're resting! Heard that char, getting your garnish on now! Are you serious now? Let me get my pan working.
Eddie's got no garnish in the [bleep.]
pan.
Garnish, are you ready? Give me another 20 seconds.
Eddie.
The garnish is gonna be a little late, so just bear with it, and we get it out.
Hey, young man, I'm dying.
Two Arctic char, two New York strip, how far? I have them right here, Chef.
So where are they? - Eddie! - Are you ready? 20 seconds out on the garnish, Chef.
(Gordon) So they're gonna be overcooked.
Hey, Blue Team, overcooked char.
Look at that [bleep.]
bit of leather.
Refire two Arctic char, two more New York strip.
And that's quickly! Yes, Chef! Get your [bleep.]
potatoes on.
Yes, Chef.
(narrator) With Eddie's time-management issues taking Frank back to square one, over in the Red kitchen, Dannie is trying to perfect her New York strip.
Four minutes to window, two New York strip, two Wellington! Yes, Chef.
So we're on two, um Do you need help? If anybody's not busy, come and help me.
One of you ladies, please, somebody help her right now.
- She's overwhelmed.
- I'm not overwhelmed.
(Ariel) We don't need your ego, bro.
You just need to step aside and let someone come help you, that's it.
(Dannie) Three minutes to the window for two strips and two Wellington.
What? (Ariel) Two strips, two Wellingtons.
Two strips, two Wellington, it's coming.
I need minutes.
(Ariel) Minutes? How many minutes? That's not the kind of communication that we need in the [bleep.]
kitchen.
(Ashley) Go help her on garnish.
- Heard.
What do you need? - Two strip, two Wellington.
- Two strip, two Wellington.
- Yes.
(Jackie) That's for the New York.
The fries are done.
(Kristin) This is two orders, correct? Yes.
Heard.
Walking with fries.
Garnish in the window! I'm just getting my sauce together.
I can go on the strip.
[bleep.]
hell.
Hey, Red Team.
Two New York strip, I got one and a half portion of fries.
Sorry, Chef.
Look at the way we're finishing.
Half the garnish is missing.
And there's no [bleep.]
momentum.
Just dropping fries.
Dropping fries.
(narrator) With Jackie's garnish stalling the Red Team, over in the Blue kitchen Garnish is going.
(narrator) Frank is ready with his refire of his Arctic char.
No, you got to communicate better, okay? Put it down.
Put it down.
Right here.
Oh, please let this dish be fine.
Please let him like it.
(Gordon) Blue Team, redemption.
Two covers, table 23, fire 2 chicken.
CSI Miami actor.
Hey, don't [bleep.]
this up.
Yes, Chef.
You guys are really waiting for that chicken, huh? I'm waiting for that chicken.
I've worked in Michelin star restaurants, so, you know, the guys are looking at me as the go-to guy in the kitchen.
I'm gonna help lead us to victory.
Slicing chicken.
Garnish walking right now.
Ten hut, hut.
Chicken in the pass.
All of you, come here.
What is wrong with that? A little undercooked, Chef.
(Manda) Pink.
You [bleep.]
worked at a 3-star Michelin restaurant.
Cook chicken right.
All of you take a seat.
[bleep.]
get in there.
Yeah, get in there.
Well, have some more bread.
Starch out.
(man) Then there's no room for the chicken.
Get [bleep.]
in there.
CSI stands for crime scene investigator, not your chicken sucks, idiot.
So who wants to eat raw chicken? Aah! My God.
- Nobody, Chef.
- Nobody, Chef.
Who wants to eat raw chicken? (narrator) It's more than an hour and a half into dinner service, and Chad's chicken (Gordon) What is wrong with that? - A little undercooked, Chef.
- Pink.
(narrator) Has lead Chef Ramsay to take an informal poll.
Who wants to eat raw chicken? (Chad) Nobody, Chef.
So why are you expecting them to do it? Get a grip! - Yes, Chef.
- Come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
If you need one more [bleep.]
minute Just say it, I need one more minute.
(Gordon) Chef, I need one minute.
Look at me! Shout at me, I need one more minute! Chef, I need one more minute on - Louder! - I need one more minute - on the chicken.
- Louder! I need one more minute on the chicken.
I still can't hear you! I need one more minute on the chicken! Man! I'm honestly surprised that Chef Ramsay didn't put a boot up his [bleep.]
.
Walking to the pass.
Walking to the pass.
Yeah, it looks good.
(narrator) With Chad now delivering an acceptable chicken (man) Yeah, that looks good.
(narrator) Both teams are pushing out the last of their entrées.
Can we finish on a high? Can we get something together? Come on, guys, yes! This is the knockout round.
Let's knock it out, guys.
Guys, pull it together, all right? We're working together.
I'm slicing Welling right now.
Garnish walking to the window.
Go, go, go, go.
Behind you hot.
Behind you hot.
(Hassan) Coming to the pass, Chef, on your left.
(Gordon) Service, please.
Can I have seconds? Two of you on dessert.
The rest of you clear down.
- I'm so full.
- I know.
Do you think we can get a doggie bag? Both kitchens got off to the best start so far in this competition.
Phenomenal.
And then both kitchens nose-dived, and both kitchens lost tonight.
But there were two chefs, one from each kitchen, who did have a bloody good service.
Ariel vocal, assertive, and in control from start to finish.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Jared great confidence, strong performance.
Thank you.
I want you both to go back to the dorms and have one-on-ones with each of your teammates and then decide which two chefs deserve to be nominated.
Get out of here.
(Ariel) Guess what, bitches.
I got all the power.
[evil laughter.]
If I call your name and you're on the patio, you're you're going up for elimination.
The way I look at this decision is, if I was head chef at BLT Steak, who would I trust more on my line? What happened tonight? I mean, garnish went down hard.
With me, it was just lack of communication.
I might have slacked on a few of the garnishes, but I thought everything was pretty solid.
My biggest concern with you is that you've been struggling thus far.
You know what, dude? Go [bleep.]
yourself.
Jared's making this personal because he's afraid of the competition.
Don't put me up there.
That's petty, and you know it.
I feel I've been getting better.
All right.
Thanks.
All right, bitch, you know that I love you, but I'm putting you up for elimination.
Why? Because just, like, when I heard Hass say, "Someone help Jackie.
She's overwhelmed.
" You said, "I'm not overwhelmed.
" - I wasn't overwhelmed.
- But it's not necessary.
You needed help.
You needed help all night.
We don't have room for your ego in the [bleep.]
kitchen.
'Cause that's how you do it and you and you and you.
- So you should have said - It's not your kitchen.
(Jackie) You should have said, "I'm not gonna use it," and you should have cut your own butter.
I don't want to have that kind of conversation.
You need to change your attitude.
You need to be held accountable for it.
Ariel wants a little puppy dog to just do what she says.
Well, that's not me, bitch.
I'm a bulldog, and I'm gonna [bleep.]
ram you right with my [bleep.]
head.
Tell me about tonight.
Overall, I think I [bleep.]
did great.
That's my opinion.
Okay, making a hard decision.
You want to send the next person in? (Frank) This is ridiculous.
Jared got hit with a little responsibility, and now, you know, he's just acting like the [bleep.]
Godfather.
Plead your case.
I know I need to step it up during service a little bit more.
You've worked with me long enough now to know what I bring to the table.
Okay.
You [bleep.]
serious? Get a little dirty, and I get a little frantic, but it's not a reason to go home.
You're enjoying this a little too much too.
So what happened tonight? All right, well, the mistake, obviously, was chicken goes out, and it needed 30 more seconds in the pan.
Dude, you [bleep.]
put up pink chicken.
(Chad) But I bounced back.
You know, that's where I stand.
All right.
[bleep.]
! This is hard.
Oh, this is hard, Kristin.
I really like you, even though we don't get along, but I'm putting you and Jackie up for elimination.
You ran over to, like, help her with the French fries, and that didn't it came out an order and a half.
That was the French fries Jackie had dropped.
I literally just dropped 'em.
I mean, you come over there to help, you got to double-check.
You got to look.
I think, as a leader, it's a terrible decision.
Ariel is the last person that should be having any power in this house.
If you think I did something wrong, like, bring it to my attention.
You got power, and you're making a bad decision based on how you personally feel.
I personally don't feel any type of way about anybody in this bitch.
What are you talking about? All you do is run around here with a [bleep.]
crown on your head.
Well, thanks for noticing, sweetheart.
I'm a strong black woman.
There's always a crown on my [bleep.]
head.
I didn't do anything to take the [bleep.]
team down.
(Ariel) You're not gonna change my mind.
[bleep.]
ridiculous.
I think you're [bleep.]
out of control.
(narrator) After a dinner service where both teams lost, Chef Ramsay singled out Ariel and Jared for their strong performances and instructed them to each nominate two members of their team for elimination.
[sighs.]
Ariel, Red Team's first nominee, and why, please? Chef, my first nominee is Jackie.
She has a bit of an ego and an attitude in the kitchen, and there's no room for that during service.
Second nominee, and why? My second nominee tonight is Kristin, Chef.
Kristin? (Ariel) Yes, Chef, Kristin.
When she came back into the kitchen to help, there was a problem with the amount of French fries that went up, and there was an excuse about that.
(Gordon) Okay.
Jared, Blue Team's first nominee, and why? First nomination, Chef, is Eddie.
Eddie failed on garnish today.
In high-pressure situations, he seems to crumble.
Second nominee, and why? Second nomination is Joe.
Joe he's a sloppy mess, and he doesn't know what's going on in the kitchen.
It's a recipe for disaster, Chef.
[sighs.]
Jackie, Kristin, Joe, and Eddie, step forward, please.
Eddie, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? I have yet to show you everything I got.
You know, there's three methods you could do lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.
I haven't gotten out of the way.
Now, obviously, I have to stand up and lead.
Joe, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I have much more to prove here, Chef, not just to you or my team, but to myself, to see if I am as good as I think I am.
[sighs.]
Jackie.
Are you taking this competition serious? Yes, I am, Chef.
I'm a natural leader.
I have a strong voice.
I have confidence.
I stay focused.
That's why I believe I should stay.
Kristin Yes, Chef.
Back in line.
Thank you, Chef.
[sighs.]
This is hard.
Joe Back in line.
Yes, Chef.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is [suspenseful music.]
Eddie.
Take off your jacket.
Your time is done, young man.
Six services in, I can't wait any longer.
Not a problem, Chef.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
(Eddie) I was here for a reason, and that reason was to win.
I guess I tried too much to be a team player and help too many people besides myself.
Just watch what happens to that Blue Team.
They're gonna crumble.
I guarantee you, a mef at Red is the one who takes everything home.
Story of my life nice guys finish last.
I was so encouraged by the start of service, and I seriously thought that we were on a roll.
Get out of here.
(Kristin) Ariel, you [bleep.]
up tonight, and everybody saw it.
Chef Ramsay gave you the reins, and you made the worst decision.
Good job.
(Joe) It's starting to get [bleep.]
hairy out there, man.
It's a dog-eat-dog kitchen.
The expectations are higher now than ever, so I got to step up my game.
(Jackie) Ariel, you did teach me a good lesson.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
I'm coming back stronger and stronger.
(Gordon) Eddie couldn't lead, and he certainly couldn't follow, and so it was time to get the [bleep.]
out the way.
(narrator) Next time Hell's Kitchen hosts an exclusive wedding reception.
She is so gorgeous.
(narrator) And the pressure to impress It needs to be perfect.
(narrator) Is just Come on, speed up, Jackie! - Too - You cannot be serious.
(narrator) Much.
I'm pissed the [bleep.]
off.
(narrator) Could it create a monster? You want to speak to me, you say, "Frank!" - Frank.
- Frank! Frank! (narrator) You've heard of bridezilla.
Frank! (narrator) Get ready for Chefzilla.
[screaming.]
(narrator) First comes love.
Looks like the bison's penis.
(narrator) Then comes marriage.
That's how you communicate.
(narrator) Then comes Baby, baby, baby, baby.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
What I need you to do is take a backseat.
You're not taking constructive criticism.
What you're not gonna do is talk to me like that.
I say whatever the [bleep.]
I want.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
(narrator) But the following morning in the Holiday Platter Challenge Oh, hello.
Screw the competition, I'm going with these ladies.
(narrator) Hassan scored big points for his new team with his Cinco de Mayo sope.
It's all my favorite things.
Hassan, welcome to the Red Team.
(narrator) While the Blue were hurt by Alan's arroz con pollo, which was no bueno I'm not too sure of the authenticity of the Cinco de Mayo.
(narrator) And Kevin's Mardi Gras-inspired jambalaya.
The rice is undercooked.
- Is that worthy of a point? - Unfortunately not.
(narrator) These two misses by the Blue made it a lot easier for the Red Team to score a victory.
(Gordon) Congratulations, Red Team.
(narrator) At dinner service, it was family night in Hell's Kitchen.
(narrator) And while the Red Team was a dysfunctional mess Mistake after mistake after mistake.
Nobody's on the same page! (narrator) Over in the Blue Kitchen Kevin, how long? Where are the scallops? (narrator) Kevin was a problem child.
Overcooked, raw! This is a joke! What in the [bleep.]
is going on in here? (narrator) And Chef Ramsay was not happy with just a time-out.
You, get your apron off, get packed, and [bleep.]
off out! (narrator) And so, in the middle of service, Kevin was kicked out of Hell's Kitchen for good.
Unfortunately, neither team really recovered.
Pathetic Aah! Embarrassing Raw fish! Lazy.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out! [sighs.]
It was embarrassing tonight.
(narrator) In the dorm, Ashley had Jackie's back.
I can't justify putting her up because of her grill from the past few days.
(narrator) But in front of Chef Ramsay Ashley, weakest two.
(narrator) It was more like a knife to the back.
(Ashley) Amanda and Jackie, Chef.
(narrator) Despite Ashley's preference, the majority of the Red Team nominated Amanda and Kristin.
(narrator) And the Blue Team nominated Alan.
- Along with - Joe.
- But it was - Alan.
(narrator) Who said good-bye to his dream of becoming head chef at BLT Steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
As for the Red Team, Kristin was spared.
Back in line.
(narrator) And Manda You're now in the Blue Team.
(narrator) Was reassigned.
I'm just so happy to be on the Blue Team.
Every single person on that Red Team is bat [bleep.]
crazy.
Get out of here.
(narrator) And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Ashley definitely showed her true colors today.
Two-faced, and both faces is ugly, so she got really [bleep.]
on that deal.
Ashley, why are you so full of [bleep.]
? (Ashley) If you'd have said, "Chef, Ashley's the weaker chef," I would have sat there, like, with my mouth shut.
Did you or did you not say that I was better than Kristin, Amanda, and a lot of people? You are two-faced.
I do not give a [bleep.]
what you think of me.
Yeah, obviously.
I just don't like two-faced, fake-ass bitches with fake-ass [bleep.]
.
Who give a [bleep.]
if I have fake boobs? You're fake.
Shut the [bleep.]
up, dude.
You know what I should be doing? Breaking your [bleep.]
face right now.
You know, you should have watched, like, "how to cook" videos before you came here.
Oh, you upset? Go cry in your room, little girlie.
Just stop talking, Jackie.
You could never run a kitchen, honey.
Never in a million [bleep.]
years.
Oh, whoo.
Ooh.
Scared-ass bitch.
Oh, Chef Ramsay, Jackie's the weakest.
Get the [bleep.]
out of my face.
During the signature dish, I beat this bitch, I beat that bitch, I beat that bitch.
I tied your fluffy-headed ass.
[laughs.]
We're not turning into that.
They're nuts.
They're really [bleep.]
nuts.
Like, I'm the only levelheaded person on that [bleep.]
team.
Well, you're Blue now.
My prayers have been answered.
Ain't no chance in hell you're getting me back on that team.
Oh, no.
[bleep.]
donkeys over there.
Hee haw! [bleep.]
donkeys, yo.
Nobody should be talked to that way.
- You're right.
- I would never [bleep.]
disrespect somebody like that.
It's a competition.
We're not here to be friends, but you can't talk to somebody like that.
Go ahead and be a [bleep.]
bully and [bleep.]
, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna be here long after you.
I'm here for you.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
(man) Fire [wind howls, sign tears.]
Uh uh - Fire - [screams.]
[laughs.]
This way? - Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey! - [engine purring.]
- Really sets me off - To a full alarm, child - [screams.]
I can't see! - [screams.]
- The way you swerve - And curve - [shudders.]

[screams.]
- [gasps.]
- Ooh ooh ooh (Kristin) Marino! Ciao, belli (man) And, girl, you got a lot [horn resounds.]

- When you're hot You're hot You really shoot your shot You're dyno-mite child [explosion.]
Yeah, uh, uh [both scream.]
(man) Fire [grunts.]
(man) Fire Woo woo woo woo woo (narrator) After a night of high drama [telephone rings.]
Hello? I need everyone to get dressed and get outside.
(narrator) An early-morning wake-up call has the chefs off and running.
(Gordon) Let's go, guys.
Let's go.
Line up.
- Right, good morning.
- Good morning, Chef.
(Gordon) Sometimes when I need inspiration I take a trip down to the local market.
There's nothing more inspiring than fresh ingredients, right? (all) Yes, Chef.
For today's challenge, I'm giving all of you the opportunity to cook with whatever fresh ingredients you want.
How good does that sound? (all) Great, Chef.
- A chef's dream, right? - Yes, Chef.
As a team, you'll be gathering ingredients, but you will not be shopping in there.
You'll be shopping out here.
Marino.
- Oh, no.
- Si, Chef, buongiorno.
[laughs.]
- Oh.
- "Hell's Cucina.
" - Buongiorno, Chef.
- Bibbidy boobidy, yes, Chef.
Boobidy ba.
Andiamo! Bibbidy boobidy.
Buongiorno.
What are we waiting for? Marino, bring out the rest of the carts.
[whistles.]
Let's go.
Andiamo.
[Hassan groans.]
(Ashley) They're not even in order.
(Eddie) Oy.
Oh, are you kidding me? There was a lot of scrambled letters out there.
It was like alphabet soup out in that [bleep.]
parking lot of that grocery store.
Today, as a team, you're all going to be spelling out the names of ingredients that you wish to work with.
Everybody on your team will be using the same ingredients for their individual dish.
Your ten minutes starts now.
Good luck.
(narrator) In the first part of today's challenge Walk and talk.
Walk and talk.
(narrator) Each team's teamwork, communication, and judgment will be tested, as they will have just ten minutes to correctly spell the six ingredients Do we want to do fish or meat? (narrator) That they all must later use to create their own individual dishes.
- We can make - Fish.
- I like halibut.
- Okay.
(Jackie) So halibut.
Want to do salmon? Yeah, we immediately agreed on salmon.
(Joe) I'll start it.
(Manda) And we're in the middle of this whole sea of carts, and it's just, like, letters all over the place.
- "S.
" - We need an "A.
" I got it, right here, right here.
(Manda) I felt like a cheerleader again.
It's, like, S-A-L-M-O-N.
Salmon! (Gordon) Make sure your spelling's right (Hassan) What are you guys getting next? - Beets.
- Beets? Two minutes gone.
Come on, Red Team.
What do you guys think squash, right? Let's work with squash.
We need another "S.
" I'm working.
I'm working.
I'm working.
We don't have another "S.
" We are dying for Ss.
We need two Ss.
Red Team all over the place.
They've got no S on "beets.
" So then you're gonna end up with one beet.
[bleep.]
! Well, let's just do beet, singular.
Look, the S is back there.
- Yeah, you're right.
- [laughs.]
(narrator) While the Red Team seems to be S out of luck Five minutes to go, halfway! (narrator) The Blue seems to be having no problems getting the letters they need.
(Eddie) We need two more, two more! It was almost like a demolition derby.
[engine revs.]
[tires screech.]
Okay, we got one.
Moving on.
What are we doing? L-E-M-O-N.
Two and a half minutes to go! Go, go, go! I'm running my ass off, almost passed out.
I need an "A.
" I sweated, like, three [bleep.]
sizes down.
I'm, like, a B cup now.
(Hassan) Fingerlings What are you guys grabbing next? 60 seconds to go! All right, guys, we got one more.
What's the last one? (all) Rice.
(Chad) I don't want to do rice, Jared.
(Gordon) 20 seconds, let's go! - I got it.
I got it.
Move! - Bringing it in! Five, four We're solid.
Three, two, one.
- We're good.
- Well done.
(Gordon) Give yourselves a round of applause.
Well done.
Wow, great array of ingredients.
However, I would love for you all to have some creative freedom.
When I say "go," you've all got 60 seconds to run into the grocery store and grab one amazing ingredient that will set your dish apart.
Your one minute starts now! (Chad) Produce.
Vino in the back.
Joe, vino in the back.
Tomato.
My chef shoes are not really the best for a sprint, but I immediately go for bacon.
Bacon makes everything better.
Oh, where's the Jersey tomatoes? (Aaron) Hurry up, Chad.
Hurry up.
Five, four, three, two, one, time.
Let's go.
(narrator) Back at Hell's Kitchen, each chef will have 30 minutes to create a unique dish, using the six ingredients they spelled out as a team 30 minutes and counting.
Let's go.
(narrator) Plus the one special ingredient they selected to elevate and set their dish apart.
Welcome aboard.
- Thank you, Chef.
- What are you making? I think I'm just gonna keep it nice and simple.
Do a little tomato salad with some fennel Tomatoes, really? You have everything in the [bleep.]
grocery store, and you go for tomatoes? We're all kind of looking at Amanda like this is your time to shine, and I'm already nervous.
(Aaron) Are you all using the same type of rice? - No.
- No.
I've got basmati down.
I'm doing black rice.
I'm gonna take a risk and go for the black rice, even though I know it's a long cook time.
It pairs really well with salmon.
I feel like I can make it work.
(Gordon) Just over ten minutes to go.
- Yes, Chef! - Ten minutes, heard.
- Coming down, coming down.
- Heard, heard.
Watch this halibut, guys.
Somebody, whose halibut is this? Watch it.
(Jackie) Mine, I know.
Hass, this is, like, kind of burning.
Right, here, you got to figure something out real fast.
(Jackie) I got to get out of a situation, and I know I can fix it.
I know I can come back.
I think I'm gonna cut the end off.
You're at a point right now, you got to make it the best you can.
Jackie, come on.
You need to figure your [bleep.]
out, 'cause you're obviously all over the [bleep.]
place.
(Gordon) 60 seconds to go.
Come on, Blue Team.
(Aaron) Guys, how are we looking? We should be plating.
- We should be almost done.
- I'm plating.
I'm plating.
(Manda) Somebody taste this rice for me.
Salt, it needs salt bad.
- Got it.
- Very hot, very hot.
(Gordon) Five, four Up on the pass.
Up on the pass.
(Gordon) Three, two, one, and stop.
Well done, guys.
(Manda) I have a lot riding on this dish.
Please don't let me fail.
Like, I need to prove myself to these guys.
Okay, listen carefully.
Today I'll be judging each dish on a scale of one to five.
Clearly, the team with the most points at the end wins the challenge.
Let's begin with the Blue Team.
Chad, bring your salmon up.
Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
- Go, Chad.
All right, Blue.
Let's get it back.
Describe the dish, please.
Poached salmon, you've got the black rice finished with parsnip purée.
And then the grapefruit fennel mignonette on top of the salmon.
Purée's delicious, Chad.
Thank you.
And the salmon's cooked perfectly.
Rice it's undercooked.
I mean, I feel like I'm in Afghanistan with a mouthful of bullets.
- I can only give you a three.
- All right.
I'm just really disappointed.
Stupid, stupid mistake.
(narrator) With Chad's misfire on the black rice It's all right.
All eyes are now on Eddie, who will try and score big with his pan-seared salmon and white wine Swiss chard.
That salmon's cooked beautifully.
So that is a very strong four.
Good job.
Well done.
Thank you, Chef.
I'm just so happy, I kind of wanted to give him a hug.
- Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) With a strong showing from Eddie (Gordon) Frank, let's go.
(narrator) It's Frank's turn to impress with his pan-seared salmon and brandy cream sauce.
Salmon's cooked beautifully.
However, a little bit too much cream there.
It's a three.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
(Joe) Way to go, Frankie! Blue Team so far, ten.
(narrator) Now, the pressure is on Jared with his salmon, white-rice and orange fennel salad.
Salmon's cooked beautifully.
- Thank you, Chef.
- However, the rice is plain.
It's a three.
Three out of five.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
Manda, let's go.
- Yes, Chef.
- Come on, Amanda.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
- Excuse me, boys.
Your debut dish on the Blue Team.
What is that? So I have a pan-seared salmon with a tomato fennel salad on top.
Love the fennel and tomato salad.
That's a very solid four.
Good job.
Good job.
Hell, yeah, we'll take this chick on our team.
- Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
(Manda) I needed this little boost of confidence for myself, and I needed these girls over here to see what they just lost.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
(narrator) So far, the Blue Team have accumulated a respectable score, but with one dish left to taste Let's go, Joe.
The pressure is now on Joe to deliver for his team.
Describe the dish, please.
I have a pan-seared salmon with creamy leeks and char.
I mean, it looks very simple But it delivers a delicious punch.
Yes.
Joe, that's a five.
Thank you, Chef.
- Yeah, Joey! - Yeah, Joe! Yeah, Joey! - Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
(Manda) Yeah, Joe! Yeah, Joey! That's how you bring it home, boy! Yeah, Joey, yeah! Blue Team, 22 out of 30.
That's a very, very strong start.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good going, Joe.
- Thank you.
- Go, Joe.
- [bleep.]
.
- Way to go, Joe.
(Eddie) Everybody nailed it.
Red Team, you got your work cut out for you.
Jackie, let's go.
(Jackie) I'm confident on my dish.
I mean, I know the fish did not come out the way I wanted, but the way I plated it, it looked beautiful.
That bit there looks like a dog's chewed at it.
Why is it like that? What have you done to it? You know I like my dishes small.
I don't give a [bleep.]
what you like.
Where's the other piece of halibut? (narrator) So far in today's challenge, the Blue Team has scored an impressive 22 points, and Jackie is up first for the Red Team.
You know I like my dishes small.
I don't give a [bleep.]
what you like.
But it doesn't appear as though Jackie's halibut is making the cut.
Where's the other piece of halibut? I cut the end off.
I thought it was too big, Chef.
(Kristin) Jackie, that looked like a halibut had been thrown on the road and seared with the grille of a car.
Two out of five.
Piss off.
(narrator) After Jackie's poor showing, Ariel is looking to make up ground with her Pan-seared halibut and bacon-fat vinaigrette.
There's white wine to kind of add a sweet element to the dish.
That's five for five.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.
- Brilliant.
- Nice.
Ariel, that's one of the most delicious dishes you've done so far in this competition.
- Thank you so much, Chef.
- Good job.
(narrator) Up next is Hassan with his halibut and andouille sausage hash.
The dish is missing one thing.
What is that, Chef? It's called a sauce.
This is a three out of five.
After Hassan's disappointing dish, it's Kristin's turn to try and wow Chef Ramsay with her almond and brown butter sauce.
Beets, a touch crunchy.
That's the only defect on that dish.
That's a solid four.
- Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
Really good job.
[bleep.]
.
[sighs.]
(narrator) After a strong showingfrom Kristin - Dannie.
- Come on, Dannie.
(narrator) Dannie is up next with her halibut topped with apricot chutney.
(Gordon) Just a tad too sweet.
Dannie, that's a three out of five.
Get back in line, please.
Yes, Chef.
Last up, Ashley, let's go, please.
As the last member of the Red Team, Ashley must score a perfect five to tie the Blue Team.
Describe the dish, please.
(Ashley) What I have for you is a pan-seared halibut with a sweet curry broth.
You know, it's sweet and spicy but aromatic.
Ashley, that's a five for five again.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
Yes.
Brilliant, really good job.
Thank you.
That's 22 to the Red, 22 to the Blue.
[bleep.]
! I'm gonna break the tie with the best dish overall.
So high score on the Blue was Joe.
Ariel and Ashley, bring your dishes back, please.
You got this, brother.
My Philly brethren Joey, it's the City of Brotherly Love we come from, and the brotherly love is there.
Come on, boy, you got this.
(Gordon) Oh, this is so tough.
The dish of the day Belongs to Ashley.
Well done.
Red Team wins.
Great job.
Thank you, Chef.
(Kristin) Good job.
Oh, it's the best feeling there is.
I've been waiting my entire life to hear him say those words.
I have thrown some twists and turns your way.
But today I am throwing in some loops and barrel rolls because all of you are gonna be soaring through the air in an amazing stunt plane.
- Whoo-hoo! - I'm scared.
I'm very excited.
They don't let my people on stunt planes.
The experience is once in a lifetime.
Go and get changed, because your ride is waiting.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
Ashley, well done.
Thank you.
(Gordon) Good job.
Blue Team, I am putting a unique Spanish twist on tomorrow night's service.
No Spanish night would be complete with a jug of Tequila.
Sangria.
Thank you, Joe.
So I want the ingredients prepared by hand all the apples peeled, quartered, diced, and then those grapes as well.
Not an easy task.
Now, piss off.
- Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
I might as well go beat my [bleep.]
against the door and see which punishment feels worse.
(Joe) I wanted to go up in a [bleep.]
stunt plane.
(narrator) While the Blue Team is grounded in Hell's Kitchen, the victorious Red is about to take flight.
Oh, you can't smoke in here.
[laughs.]
Jackie, I don't hate you, if I die, okay? I don't hate you either, if we die.
I could die at any second.
I don't want there to be any animosity.
Jackie, how do I look? Adorable.
I think Jackie and I have kind of buried the hatchet.
(man) Here we go.
Whoo! Oh, [bleep.]
! Oh, my God! This is so amazing.
Oh, my Lord.
(man) Okay, you got it.
You fly it for me.
Ease forward, build up some speed.
I didn't do any training for this.
(man) Now give me a roll to the left on the count of three, two, one, hard left, go.
- Hard over.
- Whoo! [laughs.]
Oh, my God, this is so cool.
Oh, wow.
Awesome.
Oh, my God! Whoo! [laughs.]
My stomach was in my throat.
My throat was in my [bleep.]
.
It felt like I was gonna, like, cry and puke and laugh all at the same time.
[screams.]
- Look out the side.
- Whoo! (man) Look at this view.
We're floating.
(Kristin) That is so cool! [screams.]
[screams.]
I literally thought I birthed a teenager in that [bleep.]
thing.
That's how much I was clenching.
[laughs.]
(Ashley) Thank you, Chef Ramsay! (Jackie) I'm alive! (narrator) While the Red Team is having the thrill ride of their lives, the Blue Team's punishment is the pits.
This really blows.
I think Joe's getting out that little bit of rage that built up from losing the competition.
(Joe) It's a pain in the ass.
[grumbling.]
[imitates crack, whistles.]
(Manda) These grapes are a bitch.
I just got [bleep.]
in the eyeball.
Chef Ramsay, please, just, like, don't do me like this.
(Joe) I hate grapes.
I hope someone out on the street asks me to peel them a grape.
You're gonna be working with somebody, and they'll be like, "Yeah, we got some grapes to peel.
" I'm gonna go burn the first vineyard I see to the [bleep.]
ground.
I don't care if it's that Martha's bitch's either.
[laughter.]
You psycho.
(narrator) Coming up next will Joe's behavior go from bad He's going to the wrong table Joe.
I just need to know where the [bleep.]
it is.
(narrator) To worse? You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
(narrator) After a day in which the Red Team soared and the Blue Team labored (both) Morning, Chef.
(all) Morning, Chef.
(narrator) Both teams are in the kitchen early to prep for dinner service.
(Ariel) How much cream are you putting in the beurre blanc? I do about a cup, and then you reduce down to half.
So a pint, a half a pint? I do a cup.
A pint or a half a pint? I do a cup.
Where's the cup measurer? No, I do it by eye, a cup.
You can't measure a cup with your eyes? It's not my fault Ariel can't measure out a cup with her eyes.
You're a girl.
You're a chef.
You should know what a cup size is, okay? - You don't do it by eye.
- Looks ready.
It's done.
(Ariel) There's a recipe for a reason.
You are [bleep.]
aggravating me right now.
(Ashley) Jackie, when your best friend in this competition is starting to get annoyed with you, then you know you have a serious problem.
So you need to make this [bleep.]
beurre blanc, bro.
Here, you need to do this.
I'm not doing it by eye.
I follow recipes.
Oof.
Let's go.
Ariel, vocal, leadership qualities, yes? - Yes, Chef.
- Good.
- Hassan.

- Let's go.
- Subito.
[engine revs.]
(narrator) Once again, the restaurant is fully booked with anxious diners determined to experience everything Hell's Kitchen has to offer.
I'm pretty much sold on anything that says "truffle" in it.
There's four of us.
Let's take one of each.
- One of each? - Doors are open.
Ticket time.
We're gonna rock it out today, guys.
(narrator) Tonight, in addition to the classic menu - The risotto.
- The risotto.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay has added an octopus romesco special You want a nice crunchiness to it.
Which will be served table side by Kristin for the Red Team and Joe for the Blue Team.
First order, here we go.
Red Team, good luck.
(Gordon) On order, four covers, table 32 one special app table side, two risotto.
- Yes, Chef! - Two risotto.
How long until you're out? You got three minutes yet, Ariel? I got three minutes, babe.
Okay, I got my tails going right now.
I'm feeling very confident that I'm working the fish station.
I'm gonna [bleep.]
rock it out, just like I rock it out every day.
I'm not sweating it at all.
Walking to the pass with the first two risottos.
Chef, two risottos right behind you.
- Ariel.
- Yes, Chef.
- Delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.
Where's the [bleep.]
lobster? Come on, Hassan, just hurry up! 10 seconds, Chef.
15 seconds.
I'm sorry, Chef.
Hass, you look like you're melting into the lobster.
I guess it's the Red Team's secret ingredient.
Hey, young man, psst.
Yes, Chef? You're sweating into the lobster.
It's dripping.
I don't want a [bleep.]
lobster covered in your sweat.
Is there a bandana or something, please? (narrator) While Hassan sweats over a refire on his first appetizer, the Blue Team starts on their first order of appetizers.
On order, 4 covers table 22, one special table side, one carbonara, two scallops.
(all) Yes, Chef.
Hey, two minutes on those scallops.
Two minutes, two minutes out.
Why do we call back, Jared? Why do we call back? So we communicate so we know each other's times.
When I learned this system, it was in French.
And when you're begging for one more minute, it was crucial, we got one more minute.
You've got to talk, yes? Oui.
What the hell is going on? All of a sudden, Jared is speaking in French.
Oui.
So they are really super hot now.
So you lift them up there as well.
- Oui.
- Okay? And that comes over there, so you're there now.
- Oui.
- There you go.
Are you [bleep.]
kidding me? Frank, I can sell the carbonara first, oui? Try to [bleep.]
talk like that in Brooklyn, you know what'd happen? I would pick this [bleep.]
thing up, right? I would pick this up and I would put it over his [bleep.]
head.
All right, guys, we're getting off to a great start.
Keep it going.
We're not slowing down, oui? (Gordon) Service, please.
(narrator) With Jared saying au revoir to the first order of the evening Hassan and Ariel Two minutes, not even, on my tails, okay? Heard.
I got you, baby.
Are trying to bid adieu to their first appetizer.
Two minutes on my risotto.
Two minutes on the lobster tail.
We're all gonna meet at the pass at the same time.
Perfect, perfect.
Ariel, always the sign of a great leader supporting the weakest and getting them to the very top.
Seriously? These bitches need to bottle my sweat and drink it.
It'll make you a better [bleep.]
line cook.
Risotto, Chef, right in between here.
Lobster tail, Chef.
Good.
Delicious, the risotto.
Ariel, got off to a good start.
- Keep it up now, okay? - Yes, Chef.
Don't start sitting back, yes? Heard, Chef.
If I want to impress Chef Ramsay, I just have to be a [bleep.]
beast.
I'm always a [bleep.]
beast.
I was born a beast, all right? And I will be a beast from here on out.
[roars.]
(narrator) Ariel has her team off to a fierce start, impressing not only Chef Ramsay Ready? Service, please.
But the customers as well.
(woman) Really good.
(narrator) Meanwhile, Joe is struggling just to find his diners.
He's going to the wrong table Joe.
Joe, what's going on? - 23, 23.
- 23.
- 23.
- Yeah, what do you need? I just need to know where the [bleep.]
it is.
What's he doing there? What's that [bleep.]
[bleep.]
little donkey doing out there? 23.
It's this way.
I'll show you.
Watch your language.
Regardless of what's going on in my head or in the kitchen, I'm a people person.
I'm always good with the people.
How yous doing today? - I'm hungry.
- Oh, okay.
(Joe) Well, we'll fix that in a hurry.
I can always turn on the charm.
Romesco sauce, potatoes.
- Joe! - Yeah? Move your ass! - Here you go.
Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Joe, get your [bleep.]
ass in here, now.
My mom never yelled at me this much.
Hey, you, come here, you.
Yes, Chef.
What's all this on here? It's a brand-new jacket.
You look like a sack of [bleep.]
on a hot day.
You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
Get out! (narrator) It's 45 minutes into dinner service, and Joe's sense of direction He's going to the wrong table Joe.
(narrator) And lack of cleanliness What's all this on here? It's a brand-new jacket.
Has Chef Ramsay at the end of his rope.
You are dirty.
You are slow.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
Get out! Get changed! Hurry up! I don't have another clean chef [bleep.]
find one.
I don't care, find one! Two Arctic char, two New York strip.
What do you need? What do you need? [bleep.]
coat! Come on! I would never think of talking back to Chef Ramsay.
[bleep.]
! But part of me was like, "Yo, bro! "What the [bleep.]
you want me to do about it? "You want me to feed these tables, or is this a [bleep.]
fashion show?" (narrator) While Joe gets on another chef jacket, the Red Team is suiting up for entrées.
Right, Dannie, Jackie.
- Yes.
- Over to you now, okay? - Yes, Chef.
- Entrée.
Two New York strip, two Wellington, yes? - Got it, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Six minutes to the window.
All right, Red Team, we got this.
There's no room for error.
Let's go.
Where you at, Jackie? How long you need? Jackie? Jackie, two strips, two Wellington.
(Jackie) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Walking with garnish.
How long, Dannie? I got strip right here for you, Chef.
(Gordon) Come on, Dannie.
Right now, Chef.
Right behind.
Red Team.
Yeah, all of you, come here.
New York strip, pink, right? (Ariel) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Visually, what does that look like? - Well done.
- Well done.
I'm not sending it.
I don't want you to send my mistake, Chef.
No [bleep.]
way.
(Dannie) Jackie, you just completely screwed me.
I held on to my steak a little longer because garnish wasn't ready.
(Hassan) Fire two more.
Come on, let's go, fast! Pick it up! Pick it up! (narrator) While Dannie refires her New York strip, back in the Blue kitchen, Frank on fish and Chad on meat are trying to push out entrées.
Two Arctic char, two New York strip, how long? We're going in three minutes.
Chars are out! They're resting! Heard that char, getting your garnish on now! Are you serious now? Let me get my pan working.
Eddie's got no garnish in the [bleep.]
pan.
Garnish, are you ready? Give me another 20 seconds.
Eddie.
The garnish is gonna be a little late, so just bear with it, and we get it out.
Hey, young man, I'm dying.
Two Arctic char, two New York strip, how far? I have them right here, Chef.
So where are they? - Eddie! - Are you ready? 20 seconds out on the garnish, Chef.
(Gordon) So they're gonna be overcooked.
Hey, Blue Team, overcooked char.
Look at that [bleep.]
bit of leather.
Refire two Arctic char, two more New York strip.
And that's quickly! Yes, Chef! Get your [bleep.]
potatoes on.
Yes, Chef.
(narrator) With Eddie's time-management issues taking Frank back to square one, over in the Red kitchen, Dannie is trying to perfect her New York strip.
Four minutes to window, two New York strip, two Wellington! Yes, Chef.
So we're on two, um Do you need help? If anybody's not busy, come and help me.
One of you ladies, please, somebody help her right now.
- She's overwhelmed.
- I'm not overwhelmed.
(Ariel) We don't need your ego, bro.
You just need to step aside and let someone come help you, that's it.
(Dannie) Three minutes to the window for two strips and two Wellington.
What? (Ariel) Two strips, two Wellingtons.
Two strips, two Wellington, it's coming.
I need minutes.
(Ariel) Minutes? How many minutes? That's not the kind of communication that we need in the [bleep.]
kitchen.
(Ashley) Go help her on garnish.
- Heard.
What do you need? - Two strip, two Wellington.
- Two strip, two Wellington.
- Yes.
(Jackie) That's for the New York.
The fries are done.
(Kristin) This is two orders, correct? Yes.
Heard.
Walking with fries.
Garnish in the window! I'm just getting my sauce together.
I can go on the strip.
[bleep.]
hell.
Hey, Red Team.
Two New York strip, I got one and a half portion of fries.
Sorry, Chef.
Look at the way we're finishing.
Half the garnish is missing.
And there's no [bleep.]
momentum.
Just dropping fries.
Dropping fries.
(narrator) With Jackie's garnish stalling the Red Team, over in the Blue kitchen Garnish is going.
(narrator) Frank is ready with his refire of his Arctic char.
No, you got to communicate better, okay? Put it down.
Put it down.
Right here.
Oh, please let this dish be fine.
Please let him like it.
(Gordon) Blue Team, redemption.
Two covers, table 23, fire 2 chicken.
CSI Miami actor.
Hey, don't [bleep.]
this up.
Yes, Chef.
You guys are really waiting for that chicken, huh? I'm waiting for that chicken.
I've worked in Michelin star restaurants, so, you know, the guys are looking at me as the go-to guy in the kitchen.
I'm gonna help lead us to victory.
Slicing chicken.
Garnish walking right now.
Ten hut, hut.
Chicken in the pass.
All of you, come here.
What is wrong with that? A little undercooked, Chef.
(Manda) Pink.
You [bleep.]
worked at a 3-star Michelin restaurant.
Cook chicken right.
All of you take a seat.
[bleep.]
get in there.
Yeah, get in there.
Well, have some more bread.
Starch out.
(man) Then there's no room for the chicken.
Get [bleep.]
in there.
CSI stands for crime scene investigator, not your chicken sucks, idiot.
So who wants to eat raw chicken? Aah! My God.
- Nobody, Chef.
- Nobody, Chef.
Who wants to eat raw chicken? (narrator) It's more than an hour and a half into dinner service, and Chad's chicken (Gordon) What is wrong with that? - A little undercooked, Chef.
- Pink.
(narrator) Has lead Chef Ramsay to take an informal poll.
Who wants to eat raw chicken? (Chad) Nobody, Chef.
So why are you expecting them to do it? Get a grip! - Yes, Chef.
- Come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
If you need one more [bleep.]
minute Just say it, I need one more minute.
(Gordon) Chef, I need one minute.
Look at me! Shout at me, I need one more minute! Chef, I need one more minute on - Louder! - I need one more minute - on the chicken.
- Louder! I need one more minute on the chicken.
I still can't hear you! I need one more minute on the chicken! Man! I'm honestly surprised that Chef Ramsay didn't put a boot up his [bleep.]
.
Walking to the pass.
Walking to the pass.
Yeah, it looks good.
(narrator) With Chad now delivering an acceptable chicken (man) Yeah, that looks good.
(narrator) Both teams are pushing out the last of their entrées.
Can we finish on a high? Can we get something together? Come on, guys, yes! This is the knockout round.
Let's knock it out, guys.
Guys, pull it together, all right? We're working together.
I'm slicing Welling right now.
Garnish walking to the window.
Go, go, go, go.
Behind you hot.
Behind you hot.
(Hassan) Coming to the pass, Chef, on your left.
(Gordon) Service, please.
Can I have seconds? Two of you on dessert.
The rest of you clear down.
- I'm so full.
- I know.
Do you think we can get a doggie bag? Both kitchens got off to the best start so far in this competition.
Phenomenal.
And then both kitchens nose-dived, and both kitchens lost tonight.
But there were two chefs, one from each kitchen, who did have a bloody good service.
Ariel vocal, assertive, and in control from start to finish.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Jared great confidence, strong performance.
Thank you.
I want you both to go back to the dorms and have one-on-ones with each of your teammates and then decide which two chefs deserve to be nominated.
Get out of here.
(Ariel) Guess what, bitches.
I got all the power.
[evil laughter.]
If I call your name and you're on the patio, you're you're going up for elimination.
The way I look at this decision is, if I was head chef at BLT Steak, who would I trust more on my line? What happened tonight? I mean, garnish went down hard.
With me, it was just lack of communication.
I might have slacked on a few of the garnishes, but I thought everything was pretty solid.
My biggest concern with you is that you've been struggling thus far.
You know what, dude? Go [bleep.]
yourself.
Jared's making this personal because he's afraid of the competition.
Don't put me up there.
That's petty, and you know it.
I feel I've been getting better.
All right.
Thanks.
All right, bitch, you know that I love you, but I'm putting you up for elimination.
Why? Because just, like, when I heard Hass say, "Someone help Jackie.
She's overwhelmed.
" You said, "I'm not overwhelmed.
" - I wasn't overwhelmed.
- But it's not necessary.
You needed help.
You needed help all night.
We don't have room for your ego in the [bleep.]
kitchen.
'Cause that's how you do it and you and you and you.
- So you should have said - It's not your kitchen.
(Jackie) You should have said, "I'm not gonna use it," and you should have cut your own butter.
I don't want to have that kind of conversation.
You need to change your attitude.
You need to be held accountable for it.
Ariel wants a little puppy dog to just do what she says.
Well, that's not me, bitch.
I'm a bulldog, and I'm gonna [bleep.]
ram you right with my [bleep.]
head.
Tell me about tonight.
Overall, I think I [bleep.]
did great.
That's my opinion.
Okay, making a hard decision.
You want to send the next person in? (Frank) This is ridiculous.
Jared got hit with a little responsibility, and now, you know, he's just acting like the [bleep.]
Godfather.
Plead your case.
I know I need to step it up during service a little bit more.
You've worked with me long enough now to know what I bring to the table.
Okay.
You [bleep.]
serious? Get a little dirty, and I get a little frantic, but it's not a reason to go home.
You're enjoying this a little too much too.
So what happened tonight? All right, well, the mistake, obviously, was chicken goes out, and it needed 30 more seconds in the pan.
Dude, you [bleep.]
put up pink chicken.
(Chad) But I bounced back.
You know, that's where I stand.
All right.
[bleep.]
! This is hard.
Oh, this is hard, Kristin.
I really like you, even though we don't get along, but I'm putting you and Jackie up for elimination.
You ran over to, like, help her with the French fries, and that didn't it came out an order and a half.
That was the French fries Jackie had dropped.
I literally just dropped 'em.
I mean, you come over there to help, you got to double-check.
You got to look.
I think, as a leader, it's a terrible decision.
Ariel is the last person that should be having any power in this house.
If you think I did something wrong, like, bring it to my attention.
You got power, and you're making a bad decision based on how you personally feel.
I personally don't feel any type of way about anybody in this bitch.
What are you talking about? All you do is run around here with a [bleep.]
crown on your head.
Well, thanks for noticing, sweetheart.
I'm a strong black woman.
There's always a crown on my [bleep.]
head.
I didn't do anything to take the [bleep.]
team down.
(Ariel) You're not gonna change my mind.
[bleep.]
ridiculous.
I think you're [bleep.]
out of control.
(narrator) After a dinner service where both teams lost, Chef Ramsay singled out Ariel and Jared for their strong performances and instructed them to each nominate two members of their team for elimination.
[sighs.]
Ariel, Red Team's first nominee, and why, please? Chef, my first nominee is Jackie.
She has a bit of an ego and an attitude in the kitchen, and there's no room for that during service.
Second nominee, and why? My second nominee tonight is Kristin, Chef.
Kristin? (Ariel) Yes, Chef, Kristin.
When she came back into the kitchen to help, there was a problem with the amount of French fries that went up, and there was an excuse about that.
(Gordon) Okay.
Jared, Blue Team's first nominee, and why? First nomination, Chef, is Eddie.
Eddie failed on garnish today.
In high-pressure situations, he seems to crumble.
Second nominee, and why? Second nomination is Joe.
Joe he's a sloppy mess, and he doesn't know what's going on in the kitchen.
It's a recipe for disaster, Chef.
[sighs.]
Jackie, Kristin, Joe, and Eddie, step forward, please.
Eddie, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? I have yet to show you everything I got.
You know, there's three methods you could do lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.
I haven't gotten out of the way.
Now, obviously, I have to stand up and lead.
Joe, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I have much more to prove here, Chef, not just to you or my team, but to myself, to see if I am as good as I think I am.
[sighs.]
Jackie.
Are you taking this competition serious? Yes, I am, Chef.
I'm a natural leader.
I have a strong voice.
I have confidence.
I stay focused.
That's why I believe I should stay.
Kristin Yes, Chef.
Back in line.
Thank you, Chef.
[sighs.]
This is hard.
Joe Back in line.
Yes, Chef.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is [suspenseful music.]
Eddie.
Take off your jacket.
Your time is done, young man.
Six services in, I can't wait any longer.
Not a problem, Chef.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
(Eddie) I was here for a reason, and that reason was to win.
I guess I tried too much to be a team player and help too many people besides myself.
Just watch what happens to that Blue Team.
They're gonna crumble.
I guarantee you, a mef at Red is the one who takes everything home.
Story of my life nice guys finish last.
I was so encouraged by the start of service, and I seriously thought that we were on a roll.
Get out of here.
(Kristin) Ariel, you [bleep.]
up tonight, and everybody saw it.
Chef Ramsay gave you the reins, and you made the worst decision.
Good job.
(Joe) It's starting to get [bleep.]
hairy out there, man.
It's a dog-eat-dog kitchen.
The expectations are higher now than ever, so I got to step up my game.
(Jackie) Ariel, you did teach me a good lesson.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
I'm coming back stronger and stronger.
(Gordon) Eddie couldn't lead, and he certainly couldn't follow, and so it was time to get the [bleep.]
out the way.
(narrator) Next time Hell's Kitchen hosts an exclusive wedding reception.
She is so gorgeous.
(narrator) And the pressure to impress It needs to be perfect.
(narrator) Is just Come on, speed up, Jackie! - Too - You cannot be serious.
(narrator) Much.
I'm pissed the [bleep.]
off.
(narrator) Could it create a monster? You want to speak to me, you say, "Frank!" - Frank.
- Frank! Frank! (narrator) You've heard of bridezilla.
Frank! (narrator) Get ready for Chefzilla.
[screaming.]
(narrator) First comes love.
Looks like the bison's penis.
(narrator) Then comes marriage.
That's how you communicate.
(narrator) Then comes Baby, baby, baby, baby.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
