10 Chefs Compete
1 (male narrator) Previously onHell's Kitchen [electric guitar wailing.]
(Jared) Oh, my god, it's Steve Vai.
This guy's a legend.
(narrator) After an inspiring performance from a rock maestro, the chefs were tasked to compose their own masterpiece.
I want the ahi.
I'll take pork chop.
- Stay confident here.
- Yeah.
(narrator) While Joe went a little too far taste-testing his own dish Where's the [bleep.]
lobster? I tasted a piece.
(Gordon) It's a cooking challenge, not a [bleep.]
eating challenge.
(narrator) Chad went a little overboard with black garlic on his crusted tuna.
It's doused in black garlic.
(Ashley) Somebody took a [bleep.]
on his plate, is what it looked like.
(narrator) On the Red Team, strong performances by Jackie (Gordon) Wow, point for the Red Team.
(narrator) And Ashley Tuna's cooked beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Resulted in a dominating Red Team victory.
Red Team, congratulations.
[cheering.]
(Ashley) We kicked the Blue Team's ass.
(narrator) At dinner service, Dannie's surprising anxiety on appetizers I'm not comfortable with the pizza.
(narrator) Had the Red Team losing faith in her.
(Ariel) Dannie, if you're not comfortable with all stations at this point in the competition, you don't have what it takes.
(narrator) But Kristin (Kristin) Let's push t hese apps out, guys, and get ready the entrées.
(narrator) And Ariel (Ariel) Watch these two sauces.
All right, no problem.
This one is getting too hot.
(narrator) Kept it moving.
And the Red Team had a respectable dinner service.
- Ariel.
- Yes, Chef.
Beautifully cooked New York strip.
Service, please.
(narrator) In the Blue kitchen (Gordon) Two chicken, VIP.
Give me time.
It's raw; I can't send it out yet.
(narrator) Manda, suffering from a back injury, was overwhelmed on the meat station.
I think you should take your apron off and go home.
I want to do this; I know I can.
You've got ten minutes.
(narrator) But there was another major issue holding back the Blue Team (Gordon) Two arctic char, how long? No answer.
(narrator) Chad and Jared's lack of communication.
Eighth dinner service, but you still can't communicate.
(narrator) The Blue lost and nominated Manda.
(narrator) And Jared.
(narrator) But Chef Ramsay decided to shake things up.
Chad, step forward.
(Gordon) You have lost your confidence.
I'm hoping that you can find it in the Red Team.
(narrator) Giving Chad and Dannie, you are going to the Blue Team.
Yes, Chef.
(narrator) A chance to regain their confidence on new teams, keeping everyone's chances alive of becoming the next head chef at BLT Steak in Bally's Las Vegas.
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now get out of here.
- Welcome.
- Thank you, guys.
- I thought I was going home.
- I was like[gasps.]
I did not expect my name to come up for, you know, "Take your jacket off.
" I mean, wow, you know, what the hell, man? I don't know what to feel.
I'm just I'm just in shock.
(Kristin) I don't mind her not being on our team.
Let me put it that way.
(Kristin) It felt like there was always a conflict between everyone else and Dannie.
I think Chad and our team will work out very well.
I look forward to it.
(Kristin) Glad to have you on the team, bro.
Thank you.
We got Chad's Angels.
Yeah, we got Chad's Angels now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Send it, send it, send it.
[British accent.]
Charlie.
[Ohio Players' Fire.]

Uh, uh - Fire (both) 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 - [shudders.]
Oh! - Really wrecks my nerves - [roars.]
- And I'm so excited - Aah! - [gasps.]
- Oh oh oh oh oh (Kristin) Marino! When you shake what you got - Hall-oo! - And girl you got a lot You're really somethin', child - [horn resounds.]
- 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 - [boom.]
- Yeah, uh - (both) Aah! - Fire [grunts.]
Ugh! Fire Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo (Dannie) I'm now on Blue Team.
I look really good in blue.
- Ah! - Ah-ha-ha! Hey, you look good, baby.
Every day here in Hell's Kitchen is a surprise, and whatever it is, you know, you just got to be ready for it.
(Ariel) Oh, my god.
You don't take a city bitch and throw her in a kitchen with a bison.
I would [bleep.]
my pants.
(Jackie) Oh, my god, it's looking at me.
I don't want to go first anymore.
Why am I in the front? (Ariel) I'm the one that has a handicap.
I'm just gonna have to, like, use my crutches to catapult over it if it starts to charge.
(Ariel) God.
Morning.
(all) Morning, Chef.
I see you've already met my friend Jack.
Morning, Jack.
(Gordon) Jack's an American Bison, and probably the biggest 12-year-old you've ever seen.
It's [bleep.]
huge.
Native Americans and the first settlers hunted bison.
Now [liquid trickling.]
Oh.
- Ooh! - Oh! Jack, please.
(Gordon) Talk about hunting, and he pees on my carpet.
[laughter.]
(Ashley) It was like a waterfall of pee, like six gallons of pee all over the floor.
[bison moans.]
At least it's a number one.
[laughter.]
[splat.]
Ooh! [splatting continues.]
Oh, my God.
[bleep.]
.
(Manda) Great.
Put a diaper on that thing, or something, before you bring it in here.
Marino's gonna have a fit now.
For your next challenge, each of you will be cooking a cut of bison.
[bison grunts.]
(Gordon) Sorry, Jack.
Now, when I say go, I want you to carefully walk by Jack, bolt outside, and stand behind the cut of bison that you want.
Are we ready? (all) Yes, Chef.
Well, let's go, very carefully.
- Should I walk? - Easy, easy.
(Chad) Don't need a stampede.
[bison grunts.]
Oh, my god, we're gonna die! Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
(Jackie) When wild animals sense fear, they eat your [bleep.]
face.
(Jackie) Oh, my god.
[dramatic music.]
(Jared) I just saw the ground bison, and I ran right up to it.
I didn't even look to see what else was there.
Oh, word.
- Ah.
- Ah, [bleep.]
.
(Ariel) Bison rib-eye, nice.
I'm down with that.
(Kristin) Frank and I get paired up.
I'm feeling so confident.
It's Frank.
What is he gonna make, a burger? (Gordon) Now, obviously, each of you will be cooking head-to-head.
(Jared) In my mind, I should beat Jackie at everything we do, unless we're talking about smoking cigarettes.
Then Jackie's gonna crush me.
(Gordon) On the board, there are seven different flags that represent ingredients from each of their countries.
(all) Oh.
(Gordon) Now, in a way similar to early Americans, you'll have to shoot for the rest of the ingredients using a bow and arrow.
- Yes! - Yes! The winner of the shootout will pick the ingredients that both of you will work with.
(Gordon) Let's begin with the ground bison.
Jackie and Jared, step up, please.
[cheering.]
- Let's go, Jared.
- Come on, Jackie.
(Dannie) Let's go, Jared.
- Are we ready? - I'm ready, Chef.
Right, take aim.
[suspenseful music.]
[boing.]
[laughter.]
(Gordon) That was bad.
Jackie, come on.
[groans.]
Come on, Jared.
(Gordon) Yes.
Boom, done.
Way closer than Jackie, wasn't really worried about that.
Take Italian.
(Jared) I know Jackie wanted Italian, so I was kind of strategizing a little bit, thinking, "What would she have the most trouble with?" And I pick Spain.
(Gordon) Wow, Spanish.
Give one to Jackie.
(Gordon) Nice.
Ashley and Dannie, let's go.
[cheering.]
(narrator) While Dannie's shot [Gordon chuckles.]
(narrator) Is just a bit outside, Ashley's Wee, well done.
(narrator) Hits closer to the mark.
(Gordon) And you're selecting Thai, wow.
Asian food, my strength.
Okay, next up, Chad and Manda, let's go.
[cheering.]
(Jackie) You got this.
- Nice.
- Good job.
(Jackie) You can't beat that, Amanda.
I don't know how to do this.
(Jared) Pull it straight back.
Be confident with it.
[cheering.]
Whoa! [cheering.]
Good shot.
The little girl shows you up.
Natural [bleep.]
archer, right here.
- Ah.
- Italian.
(Gordon) Well done, good shot.
That was a good one.
Okay, next up, Ariel and Joe.
(Gordon) Very carefully, let's go.
(Jackie) Joe got little arms.
He ain't gonna be able to pull it back that far.
[laughter.]
(Jackie) Come on, Ariel.
(Gordon) Ooh.
(Gordon) Come on, Joe, you can do this.
[laughter.]
Can I get a redo on that one? (Jackie) Good job, Joe.
Can I do a redo? (Gordon) Ariel, pick your cuisine.
[bleep.]
.
Japanese, nice.
Okay, let's go.
Last up, Frank, Kristin, let's go.
(Jared) Frank, you got this all day, all day.
Don't let the Marines down, Frank.
(Gordon) No pressure.
[cheering.]
(Jared) There you go! (Jackie) Come on, Kristin, you got this.
Come on, Kristin.
Have you shot one of these before? Uh, yeah.
Like Ta-ta-ta-tah! I'm channeling Kevin Costner in Robin Hood right now.
(Kristin voiceover) Totally got this.
You got it, Kristen, come on.
- [laughter.]
- Oh, my God.
Whoops, whoops.
It's all right, Kristin, don't worry about it.
(Kristin) All right, Frank.
Think I know where I'm going right now.
Think we're going with a little French.
(Gordon) French, wow, okay.
It's time to cook.
(Gordon) You'll all have 40 minutes.
And your time starts now.
Off you go.
(narrator) In today's challenge, the chefs have 40 minutes Thanks, team.
[chuckles.]
(narrator) To prepare a dish using only their cut of bison (Ariel) I don't know how safe this is.
(narrator) And the ingredients from the country they chose.
Love the ingredients.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
(Ashley) I feel extraordinarily confident in my dish.
Doing a warm peanut noodle salad.
(Ashley) My two dads have an Asian-American restaurant, so I am ready to nail this competition right in the bison butt.
(Joe) Is there a way to rehydrate seaweed? Anybody know how to rehydrate seaweed so it's pliable? (Jared) Joe probably has two experiences with Asian cultureб, the massage parlor he goes to and the carry-out he gets right after.
(Jared) Let me see, Joe.
This is just nori.
This is just for flavor.
You can chiffonade this.
You can eat it raw like that, but you're not gonna want to reconstitute it.
Heard, thank you.
Thank you, Jared.
30 minutes to go.
(Chad) Jackie, what are you making? I'm gonna make a Spanish-version cheeseburger.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Really, Jackie? A Spanish cheeseburger? (Ashley voiceover) Is that even a thing? What you doing like, what's going on there? (Ariel) What's gonna make it Spanish? I'm gonna put sausage in it, sardines in it, saffron, paprika.
(Chad) You know what, guys, we need to help out Jackie real quick.
What about albondigas, or the Spanish meatballs? Or what else? That's what I was thinking, the Spanish meatballs.
There you go.
I've cooked Spanish food.
I have never cooked food from Spain.
Wish I would have got Italian.
There's seven minutes to go.
(Jared) Seven minutes, guys, you hear that? (Jared) Dannie, what are you making? (Dannie) I'm doing a coconut lemongrass broth.
I'm gonna do bison two ways, I believe one in a roll and one with the sauce on the side.
I know that, you know, everyone's looking at me to see whether or not I can hang with the Blue Team.
Dannie, you need help, you good? - I'm good.
- You sure? I hope so.
Five minutes to go, guys.
Just under five, guys.
Everybody ready to plate? Less than five, heard.
Jackie, watch your meatballs.
Yes.
Somebody have free hands real quick? 60 seconds to go, come on.
(Ashley) Who needs help? Who needs help? I do.
(Jared) Frank, what do you need? My sauce.
Corner, corner, Frank, it's coming right now.
(Gordon) Five Little more green.
- Four - Here it goes, coming behind.
- Three, two - Thank you.
(Gordon) One, and serve.
Today I'll be judging your dishes head-to-head, and obviously the team with the most points wins.
Let's start off with the flank steak.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Going down.
Come on, Manda.
(Gordon) Let's go.
(Chad) I'm feeling confident.
I have experience with Italian cuisine.
Amanda, bring it on.
Chad, describe the dish.
I had the flank steak, did it Fiorentina style with truffled cannellini beans and a blood orange gremolata.
Mm-hmm.
Nailed the protein Thanks, Chef.
(Gordon) Really well.
That is delicious.
Brilliant job.
Thanks, Chef.
Manda, describe the dish, please.
I have, for you, a grilled flank steak with a pappardelle pasta with tomato cream sauce.
(Gordon) Um[sighs.]
(Gordon) I don't get the garnish, 'cause you wouldn't really serve that kind of pasta with a red meat like that.
(Gordon) Yeah, point to the Red Team.
- Well done, Chad.
- Thanks, Chef.
- Yes, Chad.
- Good job, Chad.
(Chad) First challenge in the Red Team, and I'm bouncing back.
Good job, Chad.
Getting out of my slump.
Next up, the ground bison using Spanish ingredients.
Come on, Jackie.
You got this, Bo.
Wow, look at that.
Jared, explain the dish, please.
Chef, I gave you albondigas that has chorizo, red wine, and kale.
(Gordon) Meatball's beautifully done, authentic.
Thank you, Chef.
Jackie.
(Jackie) Today, Chef, I have Spanish meatballs with a romesco, manchego, little bit of parsley on top.
(Gordon) That meatball's dry.
God.
Such a shame.
(Gordon) Point goes to Jared.
Congratulations, well done.
Thanks, Chef.
(Jackie) Good job, Jared.
The top sirloin, let's go.
- Come on, Kristin.
- Come on, Kristin.
(Jared) Come on, Frankie.
(narrator) With the score tied, Kristin's top sirloin au poivre (Gordon) You've cooked it beautifully here.
(narrator) Gets a "très bon" from the chef.
(Gordon) Good job.
(narrator) But Frank's pan-seared top sirloin with roasted Brussels sprouts (Gordon) Frank, bison's cooked beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Also makes a good impression.
Whew, it's a tough one.
Kristin, point to you.
(Gordon) Frank, point to you as well.
Good job, both of you.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
- Good job, Kristin.
- Good job.
(Gordon) Welcome back, Frank.
(Frank) Thank you, Chef.
Next up, one of my favorite cuts, the rib-eye.
(Jared) Yeah, Joe.
- Come on, Ariel.
- Come on, Ariel.
(narrator) Ariel's Japanese rib-eye with bok choy and noodle salad (Gordon) Yeah, delicious.
I mean really delicious.
(narrator) Gets a very favorable critique.
It's like being in a Japanese grill in Kyoto.
Yes.
(narrator) And Joe's pan-seared rib-eye with sautéed daikon radish (Gordon) This is beautiful.
Absolutely spot-on.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Is also well-received.
Tough one, this one.
Point goes to both of you.
- Great job.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
Thank you, Chef.
[applause.]
(Gordon) Tied 3-3.
Let's go to the battle of the filets.
(Gordon) Last pairing.
Come on, Dannie.
You got this, Dannie.
Come on, Ashley.
(Dannie) I'm happy to drive the Blue Team to victory.
The Red definitely better watch out.
Dannie, describe your dish.
I have for you grilled bison, and then you have bison spring rolls.
Bison's cooked beautifully.
Really good job indeed.
Thank you, Chef.
Ashley, describe the dish, please.
What I have for you is a shrimp pad Thai.
(Gordon) Why pad Thai? I don't associate pad Thai with a filet.
(Ashley) I was trying to take a little bit of a risk.
I feel like the sauce is good with the bison itself.
Beautifully conceptualized.
Actually think I'm back in Bangkok.
Really delicious.
(Gordon) This is a tough one.
Two unique dishes.
(Gordon) Very hard indeed.
The point goes to [suspenseful music.]
[sizzling.]
(narrator) In the final round of the "Cooking with Bison" challenge (Gordon) This is a tough one.
(narrator) The score is tied.
Two unique dishes.
(narrator) It's now up to either Ashley or Dannie's Thai-infused bison filet to win the challenge for their team.
The point goes to [suspenseful music.]
Both of you.
- Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Seriously, well done.
- Thank you.
(Gordon) Back in line.
All right, Chef.
Yeah, Dannie.
Tied.
I'm gonna give it to the best dish, the dish that nailed everything.
Ooh, this is hard.
(Gordon) Really hard.
Congratulations Chad.
- Well done.
- [cheering.]
Ah, yes.
(Chad) This is my bounce-back.
I'm getting back in the saddle.
This is a great way to show the Red Team I'm here, I mean business, and I'm ready to work with you guys.
(Gordon) You had the right garnish with the right cut.
That's what I like to see, that level of intuition coming into play, good job.
Thanks, Chef.
This sucks.
Red Team, congratulations, well done.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
You're in for a big treat.
You're gonna meet some Hollywood actors.
- Oh-ho.
- Yeah, babe.
(Gordon) How many of you have seen The Hangover? [cheering.]
If it's Bradley Cooper, I'm gonna [bleep.]
.
(Gordon) How many have you seen We Bought a Zoo? - Yes, I've seen that.
- Yeah, I've seen it.
(Gordon) These are just a few of the films these actors have appeared in.
Shut up.
(Gordon) You're heading to meet I'll get a beer with B-Coops and Matt Damon.
You're heading to meet Hollywood animals.
Oh! (Gordon) These are special animal actors.
You're gonna feed tigers.
Oh, my god, I'm not doing that.
That's not a reward; that's a [bleep.]
death sentence.
Oh, there's one more thing.
(Gordon) All of you are getting your very own top-of-the-line Vitamix blenders.
(Ariel) No way! [cheering.]
(Gordon) Well done.
- Oh, my God.
- There we are.
(Chad) It's a brand-new Vitamix.
Are you kidding me? Best trophy ever.
Red Team to the dorm.
(Gordon) Congratulations.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
Chad, what an impact, good job.
Thanks, Chef.
(Gordon) Blue Team, I decided to give the bakers a day off, so I want all the bread beautifully baked.
You start off with grinding the wheat by hand.
And what is fresh bread without handmade butter? The old-fashioned way.
Your freshly baked bread is gonna go with tonight's very special service.
It's gonna be cowboy steak night.
If that's not enough, there's quite a large potent stench coming from the bison's peat, so the carpet needs shampooing.
Thanks a lot, Bison Jack.
Stupid bison.
Filthy animal.
(Frank) Exactly.
(Frank voiceover ) It's degrading, you know, cleaning up buffalo pee.
I feel like a [bleep.]
private.
[laughter.]
Ew, what's that smell? Have fun, guys.
Jared, you missed a spot.
(Ashley) Have fun cleaning up that bison pee.
(Kristin) Whew.
(Joe) Yeah, see you later.
(Joe) I'll save a spot for you to clean when you get back.
This sucks.
(woman) Whoo! (Chad) Does anybody have a tranquilizer gun ready? (Jackie) Oh, jeez.
(Eric) Welcome to Hollywood Animals.
This is crazy.
We'll meet some exotic animals.
Come on my way.
I'm gonna die.
[leopard growls.]
(Ashley) This is so crazy.
Come over here into our little safe zone.
(Ashley) I get to pet a tiger.
This is so exciting.
Annika is a year and 4 month old mix, Siberian-Bengal tiger.
She's about 175 pounds.
(Eric) So who wants to go first? - Me.
- I do.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
I mean, who doesn't want to play with a tiger, right? So use your meat up there.
Now pull your meat back.
(Eric) There you go.
- Claws are like - I know.
(Eric) Now go ahead and pay her.
- Good girl.
- Nice.
Honest, if you're scared, I wouldn't suggest doing that.
Why? Because it's a [bleep.]
tiger.
[tiger growls.]
Can you chill out? - I'm chill.
- No, you're not.
(Jackie) I am, like, deathly afraid of animals.
No, she gets excited.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
She's like, "Someone might be nervous.
I can capitalize on this.
" Oh.
[soft growling.]
Okay.
(Jackie) I've never been this scared in my life.
Like, I've had people pull guns out on me, like, in my face, and I was not even nowhere near as scared as I am right now.
Now tell her, "Sit.
" Sit, sit.
(Eric) Okay, just a tiger, don't worry.
Yeah.
(Jackie) This is how white people die all the time.
And yeah, that was me today.
I was the dumb white bitch [bleep.]
feeding a tiger with a stick.
(Eric) Nice long, firm strokes.
(narrator) While Jackie is still deciding whether she is enjoying her reward, back in Hell's Kitchen, the Blue Team is busy churning out their punishment.
I'm sweating profusely.
Oh, man.
My ceramic broke into the butter.
What the [bleep.]
? All right, switch to the other one.
Mother always said I have the Midas touch, but instead of everything turning to gold, it turns to [bleep.]
.
Aw, you got to be kidding me! Wh Otpie of the [bleep.]
ramic chip.
(Joe) I wasn't even doing it that hard.
[laughs.]
(Eric) So this is Bam Bam.
He's a 14-year-old grizzly bear.
Can you say hi? [bear moans.]
- Aw.
- Oh, my God.
(Chad) He's, like, the coolest bear ever.
You guys ready to give him a kiss? - Yes.
- Yeah.
Yeah? Okay.
Walk up to Chris.
He's gonna hand you a treat.
You're gonna put it in your lips, not your mouth.
Just on your lips.
And you're gonna walk right up to him, let him take it, and step back out.
I heard '80s music.
(Kristin) I leaned in.
He leaned in.
['80s rock ballad.]
(Kristin) This is the best bear kiss I've ever had.
Yeah.
(Kristin) Pretty sure, like, every kiss from now on is gonna have to involve marshmallows.
(Eric) There you go.
(narrator) Coming up, when the Red has a heart-to-heart with Jackie We cannot carry you through challenges, bro.
(narrator) Jackie reveals a secret.
I've only been cooking for three months! (narrator) After a unique, rewarding day of petting tigers and kissing bears, the Red Team (Jackie) Wedge salad down.
Wedge bad Olives.
And then bada-bing.
(narrator) And the Blue Team are prepping Chef Ramsay's special menu for cowboy steak night.
King crab cocktail, wedge salad, straightforward.
Ugh.
Tomahawk porterhouse, Wellington.
We got a whole new menu, baby.
(Kristin) This night should honestly go super smooth.
Our menu's actually smaller.
Ranchers aren't even really picky people, right? Like, they just want their steak and their [bleep.]
mac 'n cheese.
(Gordon) Red Team, line up, please.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Quick.
Blue Team, line up, please.
(Gordon) Quickly.
(Gordon) Tonight is steak night.
It's a big night, okay? (Gordon) Think about it this way.
This year's winner is gonna become the head chef at BL Steak at Bally's in Vegas.
Show me that you belong at BLT.
(Gordon) Clear? (All) Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
(Chad) If there's ever one night in Hell's Kitchen to perform, tonight's the night.
Right.
Where the [bleep.]
is Marino? [dramatic Western music.]
Oh, you are kidding me.
What in the [bleep.]
is he doing? [whip cracks.]
Howdy, Chef.
Oh, my god.
Giddy up and open Hell's Kitchen, Marino, please.
(Marino) Yee-haw! [whip cracks.]
(narrator) It's cowboy steak night in Hell's Kitchen.
And as hungry herds of customers fill up the dining room - Cheers.
- Cheers.
The scallops? (narrator) Chef Ramsay has rounded up some classic steaks for tonight's menu, Along with a wedge salad, crab cakes, and a king crab cocktail.
Here's the order for Stacey Dash, the actress.
Stacey Dash, thank you.

Four covers, table 32, two crab cake, two scallop.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Ariel.
I'm just dropping the scallops, baby.
Okay.
I'm a little worried to have Chad on the Red Team.
(Jackie) We just found our flow during service, and we need Chad to be on the same page with us.
Chef, I'm walking the scallops to the pass to you right now, Chef.
Walking crab cakes hot, hot, hot.
Right behind you, Chef.
Nice.
Service, please.
(narrator) With a confident start by Ariel and Chad on appetizers, food is already being delivered to Red diners, and Chef Ramsay is ready with the Blue Team's first ticket.
Here we go, Blue Team.
Let's go, four covers, table 22, two scallops, two crab cake.
- All right, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Crab cakes, how long? Three minutes out.
Excellent, good.
Can I drop these scallops now, Jared? Dannie, no more, "Can I.
" Just say it.
(Jared) All right? Demand it.
(Dannie voiceover) As a boxer, I don't see anyone as intimidation.
I don't care if they're men.
I need to be on top of everything and control my station tonight.
(Joe) All right, that that's perfect.
I'm actually completely good right now? - You good? - Yep.
(Joe) They look good.
(Dannie) Thank you.

Professional volleyball player, watch this table, please.
Four covers, table 41, two scallop, two crab cocktail.
(all) Yes, Chef! (Gordon) Let's go.
(narrator) While the Blue is successfully delivering appetizers to their happy diners - Great.
- Very good.
How is everything here so far? (narrator) There is one table in the Red dining room Mine are a little bit salty.
(narrator) That is less than happy with their appetizers.
(Marino) Madame, it's a little undercooked for you? - Yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
(Marino) Chef, Stacey Dash, too salty, both of them undercooked.
(Gordon) Oh, man.
Red Team, scallops back, Stacey Dash.
Who cooked these? (Ariel) I cooked them, Chef.
[bleep.]
hell.
I need a solid minute for the re-fire on the scallops, Chef.
(narrator) While Ariel starts over on the scallops, back on the Blue side Dannie, scallops, how long? I got two scallops, 30 seconds to the window.
(narrator) A steady flow of appetizers is leaving the kitchen.
Walking crab cocktails, Chef.
Behind.
Right behind.
Good.
Service, please.
(Frank) You know, usually I can't stand working with women, but having Dannie on the team is great.
(narrator) As the Blue Team continues to satisfy their diners (Phil) That's delicious.
Very good.
(narrator) In the Red kitchen (Chad) How you doing, Ariel? Good, these scallops are [bleep.]
perfect.
(narrator) Ariel is ready with her re-fire on their VIP table.
I'm walking the scallops to the pass here right now, Chef.
(Ariel) When you get yelled at for messing something up in the kitchen, the only thing that there is time for is to correct the mistake and get the food out.
Right behind, right behind, right behind.
Ugh, [bleep.]
me.
(Gordon) Red Team, come here! Re-fired Stacey Dash.
(Ariel) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Now they're overcooked.
I've never seen such a [bleep.]
embarrassment.
(Gordon) Start again.
(Chad) Ariel, what do you got, first scallops, two minutes? Yo, I'm re-firing the scallops.
(Ariel) They suck.
(Ariel) Kristin, flip them? (Kristin) I don't have time to flip them.
I'm doing your garnish.
You're [bleep.]
kidding me, bro.
(Kristin voiceover) You need to hold on to the spatula, get these scallops out of the pan, and walk your happy ass to the [bleep.]
pass.
Scallops, where are they? Ah, [bleep.]
me.
They're all stuck to the pan.
(Gordon) Scallops, now! And I mean now! Yes, Chef, I'm re-firing.
(Gordon) Now it's beyond a joke.
That is [bleep.]
it.
(narrator) It's 45 minutes into cowboy steak night Aw, [bleep.]
me.
(narrator) And Ariel's repeated struggle with the scallops They're all stuck to the pan.
(Gordon) Scallops, now! And I mean now! (narrator) Has completely stalled the Red kitchen.
Yes, Chef, I'm re-firing all of the scallops.
(Gordon) Now it's beyond a joke.
That is [bleep.]
it.
(Gordon) Red Team, come here.
This, to me, is basic [bleep.]
.
Can someone get on the fish station and [bleep.]
help you now? Heard.
- Let's go.
- Somebody get over there.
I'll take all of hot apps.
(Chad) At the rate Ariel is going through scallops, they might go extinct.
(Chad) Make sure it's quality.
We're not re-firing any more tickets.
- No.
- Got it.
Walking with scallops.
Come on, then, hurry up.
Yes, Chef.
[suspenseful music.]
Service, please, John.
(narrator) Thanks to Jackie, the fish station has recovered.
(Marino) Ladies, how are we doing? - Much better.
- Yes? - Much better.
- Perfect.
(narrator) In the Blue kitchen Walking with char, right behind, hot.
(narrator) Dannie on fish and Frank on Meat (Frank) I'm walking Wellingtons right now.
(narrator) Are relying on Joe to deliver on garnish.
Mash! Heard, Chef.
Coming, Chef.
Ten seconds.
Why is he tossing the mash? Walking mash.
(Gordon) What what what is that? You got dark stuff, white stuff, creamy stuff, bits that aren't mixed.
(Gordon) You don't start tossing it, flipping like a [bleep.]
pancake.
(Jared) Are you kidding me? Why the [bleep.]
is he helping you? It's just [bleep.]
mashed potatoes.
Hey, that was really difficult, that.
(narrator) After a short delay from Joe and his mashed potatoes Got your sides, yeah? Go, please.
(narrator) The Blue Team is ready to move on to their next ticket.
Entrée, two rib-eye, two arctic char.
(all) Yes, Chef.
Behind, behind, behind.
(narrator) Meanwhile, back in the Red kitchen Scallops to the pass, Chef, on your right.
(narrator) Ariel seems to be back in control, and appetizers are now flying out of the kitchen.
Service, please, go.
(narrator) And the Red Team is ready to fire their first entrées.
Entrée, two ahi tuna, two rib-eye.
- Yes, Chef.
- Heard.
Jackie, you have a second, can you come watch this tuna for me? Yep.
(Jackie) Ariel thinks that I have secret powers, I have fire hands, and now I'm just gonna be like and [bleep.]
cook everything.
Watch that, Jackie.
I got it, I got it.
Don't worry about it.
(Ariel) Make sure they don't overcook.
(Jackie) They're still cold in the middle.
How long on those two tuna? (Jackie) One minute.
(Ashley) Don't leave that in there too long, now.
Ahi tuna? Rib-eye? Walking with two rib-eye.
- Two tuna walking.
- Heard.
(Jackie) Right behind you, Chef.
All right, next.
Hey, Red Team no, not next.
Come here, all of you.
(Gordon) What is happening here? The rib-eye looks like it's boiled.
Apart from that, it's raw.
And we're going from one extreme to the other, 'cause I've got [bleep.]
burnt tuna.
(Ariel) Jackie, what the [bleep.]
is that, bro? (Ariel) If you can't figure out what the [bleep.]
you're supposed to do, you're not helping me.
Go back to your station.
(Gordon) Just tell me how we can [bleep.]
something so simple up.
(Gordon) Re-fire two rib-eye, two ahi tuna.
Just hurry up, let's go.
(narrator) While the Red Team starts over on their first entrées (Frank) Walking to the window with rib-eye.
(narrator) Over in the Blue kitchen, Frank on meat and Dannie on fish Char.
(narrator) Are delivering their second order of entrées Fries, please.
- More fries? - Yeah, more fries.
(narrator) And once again are waiting on Joe.
Fries are one minute out.
Fries are one minute out.
[bleep.]
hell.
(Gordon) Hey, come here.
What's going? I'm doing my best, Chef.
I'm trying to bounce back.
No, what is going? Um, two orders Because I don't mind you bouncing back, but I need you bouncing back knowing what the [bleep.]
you're doing.
Two Wellingtons, two chars coming up.
- No.
- No.
Two rib-eye, two arctic char.
Two rib-eye, two char.
Heard, Chef.
Two rib-eye, two char.
Heard, Chef.
(Gordon) Hurry up! Alll right, man, I'm doing the best I can You want [bleep.]
fast, I'm trying to give it to you fast.
Rib-eye going cold.
(Joe) I think the best thing I can do is just grab the bootstraps, [bleep.]
lace them up, 'cause I'll be [bleep.]
damned if I let it get to the point where I'm sending up undercooked French fries.
15 seconds, Chef.
(Gordon) Fries? Come on, bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.
Let's go.
Walking with the garnish, Chef.
Walking with garnish.
Oh, my God.
Can someone tell Joe what's wrong with these fries? (Gordon) Hey, look.
Not even drained.
And look at the grease.
(Jared) This is really happening right now.
And you're eating.
That makes me even more angry.
Look at the grease.
Look at the grease.
(Gordon) Hey, nothing is coming out.
(Gordon) Nothing.
I don't care what [bleep.]
excuse.
Nothing's coming out, okay? All right, Chef, I got it! Thank you! [clattering.]
Joe, what do you need a hand with? He needs a hand with his confidence.
Garnish is one minute out, Chef.
(narrator) While Joe and the Blue Team start over on their order, back in the Red kitchen Two rib-eye, two ahi tuna.
I'm running it now.
(narrator) Ariel and Ashley are ready with their second attempt on their first entrée.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Yeah, all of you.
[bleep.]
hell, man, this is rough.
(Gordon) This is rough.
It's the same mistake again; it's just raw.
(Chad) This ship is sinking right now.
And you've got no paddles, you've got a hole in the boat, and no bucket to get the water out.
There's just white fat.
[bleep.]
raw.
(Gordon) Enough's enough.
I'm done! (Gordon) All together, [bleep.]
off.
Get out! (Gordon) Get out! (narrator) It's two hours into cowboy steak night Yeah, all of you.
(narrator) And Ashley's poor performance on the meat [bleep.]
raw.
(narrator) Is the last straw for Chef Ramsay.
[bleep.]
off.
(Gordon) Get out! Get out! (Kristin) What the [bleep.]
happened? (Jackie) I know (Kristin) Why did everyone why did everyone stop (Jackie) [bleep.]
.
(narrator) Meanwhile, in the Blue kitchen Yeah, that's beautiful, good job.
Let's go.
One minute out on that rib-eye, one minute out.
(Dannie) Heard, heard.
(narrator) It's all hands on deck to help Joe navigate the garnish station.
(Gordon) There are four individuals on the garnish.
(Manda) This is just bananas, but we have to do something to save this station, because if we don't, we're getting kicked out of the kitchen.
Where's the garnish for the rib-eye? (Jared) In my hands, Chef.
(Jared) Garnish for two rib-eye.
- Heard, char.
- Walking char.
Walking to the window with rib-eye.
Go, please.
(narrator) Finally, patient patrons are receiving their food (Joe) Come on, guys, keep it up.
You guys, keep pushing.
- Heard.
- Jared.
(Joe) Thanks for your help, Jared.
Keep pushing, buddy.
(narrator) And the Blue Team is fast approaching the finish line.
Jared, can I walk with the rest of the other two garnishes? (Jared) Joe, they're coming out right now.
Heard, walking up garnishes.
I want you to go Wellie first, and then I'll follow with char.
(Frank) Heard, Wellington walking to the pass right now.
(Joe) Garnish walking.
Service, please, go.
Thank you.
(woman) I'm so excited.
Clear down.
Thanks, Jared.
That was a total that was the worst service we've ever had.
I don't know what the [bleep.]
happened.
Yeah.
Where was the major breakdown in service? The meat and the fish is supposed to push, especially on a night like this where we're so heavy on meat and fish.
(Jackie) Okay, Ariel and Ashley.
Yeah, I'm voting for them two, because service [bleep.]
sucked.
Me, the hardest part was just making the steak perfect.
Yeah, you weren't searing them correctly.
I know how to cook a [bleep.]
steak, dude.
But you didn't do it today.
(Jackie) Meat and fish [bleep.]
ed up, and that's it.
Yeah, meat and fish.
(Ashley) I am telling you, I am not the weakest person on this team, absolutely [bleep.]
not.
Well, who do you think the team's strong without? I can promise you it's not myself and Ariel.
We are definitely two of the strongest people here.
Yeah, but if those two stations would have went okay, we wouldn't have [bleep.]
got kicked out of the kitchen.
This is the first dinner service I've struggled at all, and the burnt tuna was not me.
(Jackie) Okay, well, I didn't do nothing wrong.
(Ariel) Like, a big part is, when you come to help people, you have to actually be able to help them.
Jackie's not a strong enough person to come into a station and help.
Like, if you're gonna come into a station and help, you need to hold down that station.
Ariel, what do you think, two weakest people on the team? I'd say Ashley and Jackie.
Ashley and Jackie.
You'd say me? Yes, Jack, I would say you.
(Chad) Ashley, who do you think are the two weakest people on the team right now? Those two.
Kristin? (Kristin) Jackie and Ariel.
Ashley's a stronger cook than you.
She is not a stronger cook than me.
She brings a little bit more to the table than you.
So you really think she's more creative than me? Yeah.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
She's not.
Everything I cooked today was [bleep.]
perfect, and then I tried to [bleep.]
help everybody, and they want to throw me in? I mean, come the [bleep.]
on.
It's baffling to me that my name would even be mentioned.
What are you voting for? Based on this service, I would say Jackie.
Why are you voting for me? Who do you want me to vote for? Them two! They [bleep.]
ed up service and made us lose! I [bleep.]
kill it in service every [bleep.]
time! When you are in service, you shine as a cook.
(Ariel) Challenges is where you shine as a chef.
We cannot carry you through challenges, bro.
I've only been cooking for three months! (Kristin) Wait a minute, what? Jackie's only been cooking for three months? (Kristin) Everyone else has been cooking forever.
We deserve this, and obviously Jackie doesn't.
But that means you're not ready for BLT.
I got [bleep.]
seven Oh, yeah, I'm ready for BLT.
I got seven years on you, and six months.
I've worked way less anywhere than all these people, and I can [bleep.]
successfully do every station, and nobody else can.
How am I going up? I mean, that's completely ridiculous! You know what, [bleep.]
all of them, really.
I just hate it that we can't choke people here.
Unbelievable.
It's just unbelievable.
That was terrible.
(Gordon) Red Team, have you reached a consensus? (all) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Good.
Jackie, Red Team's first nominee, and why.
Our first nominee is Ariel.
The fish station completely collapsed.
The scallops, everything was just bad.
(Gordon) Red Team's second nominee, and why.
Hey, they voted for me.
They voted for you.
- Yes.
- Why? I really don't know.
I believe it should have been Ashley, 'cause if I was on either one of those stations, I would have ran it way better.
(Kristin) We chose Jackie, Chef, because of her lack of progress.
It doesn't help us to have to be creative for her.
We have to carry her most of the way, Chef.
That's not true, Chef.
What a mess.
Jackie, Ariel, step forward.
Ariel, let's be honest.
Your worst performance.
Chef.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? (Ariel) Chef, I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I'm passionate, I'm intuitive, I'm strong, I'm decisive, and I'm a leader.
I don't think one service should dictate me leaving Hell's Kitchen.
You struggled big-time.
Very disappointing.
- Heard, Chef.
- Very.
Jackie.
Yes, Chef.
Why do you deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen? I can cook a scallop.
I can sear a steak.
(Jackie) I'm a natural-born leader.
I mean, I know I could run BLT.
I shouldn't even be up here, Chef.
It was meat and fish that died today.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is [suspenseful music.]
(narrator) After one of their worst services in quite some time, the Red Team has nominated Ariel and Jackie for elimination.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen [suspenseful music.]
Joe.
(Gordon) Give me your jacket.
Joe, unfortunately, you are not ready to be the next head chef at BLT.
Service after service after service, I'm not seeing any change.
Yes, Chef.
Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity, Chef.
It was a pleasure.
(Joe) Hell's Kitchen was much more grueling than I could have ever imagined.
It's easy to be an armchair quarterback when you're sitting at home watching it, going, "Yeah, I could make a risotto.
" It's a much different story when you're in the line of fire with Chef Ramsay up your rear end.
If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas, and I'm the one out here right now, so I'm the one that's got to take it on the chin.
Ariel, Jackie Yes, Chef.
Back in line.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
The field has been cut in half.
Now is the time to get your [bleep.]
together.
(Gordon) Is that clear? (all) Yes, Chef.
Now [bleep.]
off out of here.
(Manda) This is crazy.
All the fat has been trimmed, and strong people are about to be going home.
(Ariel) I'm upset with myself that I had my worst service ever.
I just have to work as hard as I know that I can work, and just every day keep pushing myself further.
(Jackie) Holy [bleep.]
.
Do I think I'm the weakest on my team? No.
In service, I kill it every time.
I'm so pissed, I can't even tell you what I want to do.
I'll get arrested for even saying it.
(Gordon) Joe had an amazing taste profile and was a standout in challenges.
Unfortunately for him, dinner services were just out of his reach.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen After 14 seasons of epic battles (man) You don't have the balls to take over.
(woman) Shut the [bleep.]
up! (man) Listen to me! (man) You better get out of my face.
- Idiot! - God! (narrator) You are not going to believe what is coming next.
Put your hands on me.
(Manda) Jackie! (narrator) You witnessed Elise versus Carrie.
You better get out of my face.
(narrator) You were shocked by Milly versus Brendan.
You can't even burn [bleep.]
.
(narrator) And you were amazed by Joseph versus Chef Ramsay.
(Joseph) Let's go step outside.
Ain't nothing but a bitch.
(narrator) But it's time to get ready (Jackie) Give me your lighter.
Ooh.
You're a disgusting-ass bitch.
(narrator) For an all-out war between Kristin Get the [bleep.]
out of my face! (narrator) And (Jackie) What are you gonna do about it? (narrator) Jackie.
- Get out of my face.
- Put your hands on me.
No, no, bitch.
Crazy, deranged? (narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
(Jared) Oh, my god, it's Steve Vai.
This guy's a legend.
(narrator) After an inspiring performance from a rock maestro, the chefs were tasked to compose their own masterpiece.
I want the ahi.
I'll take pork chop.
- Stay confident here.
- Yeah.
(narrator) While Joe went a little too far taste-testing his own dish Where's the [bleep.]
lobster? I tasted a piece.
(Gordon) It's a cooking challenge, not a [bleep.]
eating challenge.
(narrator) Chad went a little overboard with black garlic on his crusted tuna.
It's doused in black garlic.
(Ashley) Somebody took a [bleep.]
on his plate, is what it looked like.
(narrator) On the Red Team, strong performances by Jackie (Gordon) Wow, point for the Red Team.
(narrator) And Ashley Tuna's cooked beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Resulted in a dominating Red Team victory.
Red Team, congratulations.
[cheering.]
(Ashley) We kicked the Blue Team's ass.
(narrator) At dinner service, Dannie's surprising anxiety on appetizers I'm not comfortable with the pizza.
(narrator) Had the Red Team losing faith in her.
(Ariel) Dannie, if you're not comfortable with all stations at this point in the competition, you don't have what it takes.
(narrator) But Kristin (Kristin) Let's push t hese apps out, guys, and get ready the entrées.
(narrator) And Ariel (Ariel) Watch these two sauces.
All right, no problem.
This one is getting too hot.
(narrator) Kept it moving.
And the Red Team had a respectable dinner service.
- Ariel.
- Yes, Chef.
Beautifully cooked New York strip.
Service, please.
(narrator) In the Blue kitchen (Gordon) Two chicken, VIP.
Give me time.
It's raw; I can't send it out yet.
(narrator) Manda, suffering from a back injury, was overwhelmed on the meat station.
I think you should take your apron off and go home.
I want to do this; I know I can.
You've got ten minutes.
(narrator) But there was another major issue holding back the Blue Team (Gordon) Two arctic char, how long? No answer.
(narrator) Chad and Jared's lack of communication.
Eighth dinner service, but you still can't communicate.
(narrator) The Blue lost and nominated Manda.
(narrator) And Jared.
(narrator) But Chef Ramsay decided to shake things up.
Chad, step forward.
(Gordon) You have lost your confidence.
I'm hoping that you can find it in the Red Team.
(narrator) Giving Chad and Dannie, you are going to the Blue Team.
Yes, Chef.
(narrator) A chance to regain their confidence on new teams, keeping everyone's chances alive of becoming the next head chef at BLT Steak in Bally's Las Vegas.
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now get out of here.
- Welcome.
- Thank you, guys.
- I thought I was going home.
- I was like[gasps.]
I did not expect my name to come up for, you know, "Take your jacket off.
" I mean, wow, you know, what the hell, man? I don't know what to feel.
I'm just I'm just in shock.
(Kristin) I don't mind her not being on our team.
Let me put it that way.
(Kristin) It felt like there was always a conflict between everyone else and Dannie.
I think Chad and our team will work out very well.
I look forward to it.
(Kristin) Glad to have you on the team, bro.
Thank you.
We got Chad's Angels.
Yeah, we got Chad's Angels now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Send it, send it, send it.
[British accent.]
Charlie.
[Ohio Players' Fire.]
(man) Fire [funky music.]
Uh, uh - Fire (both) 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 - [shudders.]
Oh! - Really wrecks my nerves - [roars.]
- And I'm so excited - Aah! - [gasps.]
- Oh oh oh oh oh (Kristin) Marino! When you shake what you got - Hall-oo! - And girl you got a lot You're really somethin', child - [horn resounds.]
- 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 - [boom.]
- Yeah, uh - (both) Aah! - Fire [grunts.]
Ugh! Fire Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo (Dannie) I'm now on Blue Team.
I look really good in blue.
- Ah! - Ah-ha-ha! Hey, you look good, baby.
Every day here in Hell's Kitchen is a surprise, and whatever it is, you know, you just got to be ready for it.
(Ariel) Oh, my god.
You don't take a city bitch and throw her in a kitchen with a bison.
I would [bleep.]
my pants.
(Jackie) Oh, my god, it's looking at me.
I don't want to go first anymore.
Why am I in the front? (Ariel) I'm the one that has a handicap.
I'm just gonna have to, like, use my crutches to catapult over it if it starts to charge.
(Ariel) God.
Morning.
(all) Morning, Chef.
I see you've already met my friend Jack.
Morning, Jack.
(Gordon) Jack's an American Bison, and probably the biggest 12-year-old you've ever seen.
It's [bleep.]
huge.
Native Americans and the first settlers hunted bison.
Now [liquid trickling.]
Oh.
- Ooh! - Oh! Jack, please.
(Gordon) Talk about hunting, and he pees on my carpet.
[laughter.]
(Ashley) It was like a waterfall of pee, like six gallons of pee all over the floor.
[bison moans.]
At least it's a number one.
[laughter.]
[splat.]
Ooh! [splatting continues.]
Oh, my God.
[bleep.]
.
(Manda) Great.
Put a diaper on that thing, or something, before you bring it in here.
Marino's gonna have a fit now.
For your next challenge, each of you will be cooking a cut of bison.
[bison grunts.]
(Gordon) Sorry, Jack.
Now, when I say go, I want you to carefully walk by Jack, bolt outside, and stand behind the cut of bison that you want.
Are we ready? (all) Yes, Chef.
Well, let's go, very carefully.
- Should I walk? - Easy, easy.
(Chad) Don't need a stampede.
[bison grunts.]
Oh, my god, we're gonna die! Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
(Jackie) When wild animals sense fear, they eat your [bleep.]
face.
(Jackie) Oh, my god.
[dramatic music.]
(Jared) I just saw the ground bison, and I ran right up to it.
I didn't even look to see what else was there.
Oh, word.
- Ah.
- Ah, [bleep.]
.
(Ariel) Bison rib-eye, nice.
I'm down with that.
(Kristin) Frank and I get paired up.
I'm feeling so confident.
It's Frank.
What is he gonna make, a burger? (Gordon) Now, obviously, each of you will be cooking head-to-head.
(Jared) In my mind, I should beat Jackie at everything we do, unless we're talking about smoking cigarettes.
Then Jackie's gonna crush me.
(Gordon) On the board, there are seven different flags that represent ingredients from each of their countries.
(all) Oh.
(Gordon) Now, in a way similar to early Americans, you'll have to shoot for the rest of the ingredients using a bow and arrow.
- Yes! - Yes! The winner of the shootout will pick the ingredients that both of you will work with.
(Gordon) Let's begin with the ground bison.
Jackie and Jared, step up, please.
[cheering.]
- Let's go, Jared.
- Come on, Jackie.
(Dannie) Let's go, Jared.
- Are we ready? - I'm ready, Chef.
Right, take aim.
[suspenseful music.]
[boing.]
[laughter.]
(Gordon) That was bad.
Jackie, come on.
[groans.]
Come on, Jared.
(Gordon) Yes.
Boom, done.
Way closer than Jackie, wasn't really worried about that.
Take Italian.
(Jared) I know Jackie wanted Italian, so I was kind of strategizing a little bit, thinking, "What would she have the most trouble with?" And I pick Spain.
(Gordon) Wow, Spanish.
Give one to Jackie.
(Gordon) Nice.
Ashley and Dannie, let's go.
[cheering.]
(narrator) While Dannie's shot [Gordon chuckles.]
(narrator) Is just a bit outside, Ashley's Wee, well done.
(narrator) Hits closer to the mark.
(Gordon) And you're selecting Thai, wow.
Asian food, my strength.
Okay, next up, Chad and Manda, let's go.
[cheering.]
(Jackie) You got this.
- Nice.
- Good job.
(Jackie) You can't beat that, Amanda.
I don't know how to do this.
(Jared) Pull it straight back.
Be confident with it.
[cheering.]
Whoa! [cheering.]
Good shot.
The little girl shows you up.
Natural [bleep.]
archer, right here.
- Ah.
- Italian.
(Gordon) Well done, good shot.
That was a good one.
Okay, next up, Ariel and Joe.
(Gordon) Very carefully, let's go.
(Jackie) Joe got little arms.
He ain't gonna be able to pull it back that far.
[laughter.]
(Jackie) Come on, Ariel.
(Gordon) Ooh.
(Gordon) Come on, Joe, you can do this.
[laughter.]
Can I get a redo on that one? (Jackie) Good job, Joe.
Can I do a redo? (Gordon) Ariel, pick your cuisine.
[bleep.]
.
Japanese, nice.
Okay, let's go.
Last up, Frank, Kristin, let's go.
(Jared) Frank, you got this all day, all day.
Don't let the Marines down, Frank.
(Gordon) No pressure.
[cheering.]
(Jared) There you go! (Jackie) Come on, Kristin, you got this.
Come on, Kristin.
Have you shot one of these before? Uh, yeah.
Like Ta-ta-ta-tah! I'm channeling Kevin Costner in Robin Hood right now.
(Kristin voiceover) Totally got this.
You got it, Kristen, come on.
- [laughter.]
- Oh, my God.
Whoops, whoops.
It's all right, Kristin, don't worry about it.
(Kristin) All right, Frank.
Think I know where I'm going right now.
Think we're going with a little French.
(Gordon) French, wow, okay.
It's time to cook.
(Gordon) You'll all have 40 minutes.
And your time starts now.
Off you go.
(narrator) In today's challenge, the chefs have 40 minutes Thanks, team.
[chuckles.]
(narrator) To prepare a dish using only their cut of bison (Ariel) I don't know how safe this is.
(narrator) And the ingredients from the country they chose.
Love the ingredients.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
(Ashley) I feel extraordinarily confident in my dish.
Doing a warm peanut noodle salad.
(Ashley) My two dads have an Asian-American restaurant, so I am ready to nail this competition right in the bison butt.
(Joe) Is there a way to rehydrate seaweed? Anybody know how to rehydrate seaweed so it's pliable? (Jared) Joe probably has two experiences with Asian cultureб, the massage parlor he goes to and the carry-out he gets right after.
(Jared) Let me see, Joe.
This is just nori.
This is just for flavor.
You can chiffonade this.
You can eat it raw like that, but you're not gonna want to reconstitute it.
Heard, thank you.
Thank you, Jared.
30 minutes to go.
(Chad) Jackie, what are you making? I'm gonna make a Spanish-version cheeseburger.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Really, Jackie? A Spanish cheeseburger? (Ashley voiceover) Is that even a thing? What you doing like, what's going on there? (Ariel) What's gonna make it Spanish? I'm gonna put sausage in it, sardines in it, saffron, paprika.
(Chad) You know what, guys, we need to help out Jackie real quick.
What about albondigas, or the Spanish meatballs? Or what else? That's what I was thinking, the Spanish meatballs.
There you go.
I've cooked Spanish food.
I have never cooked food from Spain.
Wish I would have got Italian.
There's seven minutes to go.
(Jared) Seven minutes, guys, you hear that? (Jared) Dannie, what are you making? (Dannie) I'm doing a coconut lemongrass broth.
I'm gonna do bison two ways, I believe one in a roll and one with the sauce on the side.
I know that, you know, everyone's looking at me to see whether or not I can hang with the Blue Team.
Dannie, you need help, you good? - I'm good.
- You sure? I hope so.
Five minutes to go, guys.
Just under five, guys.
Everybody ready to plate? Less than five, heard.
Jackie, watch your meatballs.
Yes.
Somebody have free hands real quick? 60 seconds to go, come on.
(Ashley) Who needs help? Who needs help? I do.
(Jared) Frank, what do you need? My sauce.
Corner, corner, Frank, it's coming right now.
(Gordon) Five Little more green.
- Four - Here it goes, coming behind.
- Three, two - Thank you.
(Gordon) One, and serve.
Today I'll be judging your dishes head-to-head, and obviously the team with the most points wins.
Let's start off with the flank steak.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Going down.
Come on, Manda.
(Gordon) Let's go.
(Chad) I'm feeling confident.
I have experience with Italian cuisine.
Amanda, bring it on.
Chad, describe the dish.
I had the flank steak, did it Fiorentina style with truffled cannellini beans and a blood orange gremolata.
Mm-hmm.
Nailed the protein Thanks, Chef.
(Gordon) Really well.
That is delicious.
Brilliant job.
Thanks, Chef.
Manda, describe the dish, please.
I have, for you, a grilled flank steak with a pappardelle pasta with tomato cream sauce.
(Gordon) Um[sighs.]
(Gordon) I don't get the garnish, 'cause you wouldn't really serve that kind of pasta with a red meat like that.
(Gordon) Yeah, point to the Red Team.
- Well done, Chad.
- Thanks, Chef.
- Yes, Chad.
- Good job, Chad.
(Chad) First challenge in the Red Team, and I'm bouncing back.
Good job, Chad.
Getting out of my slump.
Next up, the ground bison using Spanish ingredients.
Come on, Jackie.
You got this, Bo.
Wow, look at that.
Jared, explain the dish, please.
Chef, I gave you albondigas that has chorizo, red wine, and kale.
(Gordon) Meatball's beautifully done, authentic.
Thank you, Chef.
Jackie.
(Jackie) Today, Chef, I have Spanish meatballs with a romesco, manchego, little bit of parsley on top.
(Gordon) That meatball's dry.
God.
Such a shame.
(Gordon) Point goes to Jared.
Congratulations, well done.
Thanks, Chef.
(Jackie) Good job, Jared.
The top sirloin, let's go.
- Come on, Kristin.
- Come on, Kristin.
(Jared) Come on, Frankie.
(narrator) With the score tied, Kristin's top sirloin au poivre (Gordon) You've cooked it beautifully here.
(narrator) Gets a "très bon" from the chef.
(Gordon) Good job.
(narrator) But Frank's pan-seared top sirloin with roasted Brussels sprouts (Gordon) Frank, bison's cooked beautifully.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Also makes a good impression.
Whew, it's a tough one.
Kristin, point to you.
(Gordon) Frank, point to you as well.
Good job, both of you.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
- Good job, Kristin.
- Good job.
(Gordon) Welcome back, Frank.
(Frank) Thank you, Chef.
Next up, one of my favorite cuts, the rib-eye.
(Jared) Yeah, Joe.
- Come on, Ariel.
- Come on, Ariel.
(narrator) Ariel's Japanese rib-eye with bok choy and noodle salad (Gordon) Yeah, delicious.
I mean really delicious.
(narrator) Gets a very favorable critique.
It's like being in a Japanese grill in Kyoto.
Yes.
(narrator) And Joe's pan-seared rib-eye with sautéed daikon radish (Gordon) This is beautiful.
Absolutely spot-on.
Thank you, Chef.
(narrator) Is also well-received.
Tough one, this one.
Point goes to both of you.
- Great job.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
Thank you, Chef.
[applause.]
(Gordon) Tied 3-3.
Let's go to the battle of the filets.
(Gordon) Last pairing.
Come on, Dannie.
You got this, Dannie.
Come on, Ashley.
(Dannie) I'm happy to drive the Blue Team to victory.
The Red definitely better watch out.
Dannie, describe your dish.
I have for you grilled bison, and then you have bison spring rolls.
Bison's cooked beautifully.
Really good job indeed.
Thank you, Chef.
Ashley, describe the dish, please.
What I have for you is a shrimp pad Thai.
(Gordon) Why pad Thai? I don't associate pad Thai with a filet.
(Ashley) I was trying to take a little bit of a risk.
I feel like the sauce is good with the bison itself.
Beautifully conceptualized.
Actually think I'm back in Bangkok.
Really delicious.
(Gordon) This is a tough one.
Two unique dishes.
(Gordon) Very hard indeed.
The point goes to [suspenseful music.]
[sizzling.]
(narrator) In the final round of the "Cooking with Bison" challenge (Gordon) This is a tough one.
(narrator) The score is tied.
Two unique dishes.
(narrator) It's now up to either Ashley or Dannie's Thai-infused bison filet to win the challenge for their team.
The point goes to [suspenseful music.]
Both of you.
- Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Seriously, well done.
- Thank you.
(Gordon) Back in line.
All right, Chef.
Yeah, Dannie.
Tied.
I'm gonna give it to the best dish, the dish that nailed everything.
Ooh, this is hard.
(Gordon) Really hard.
Congratulations Chad.
- Well done.
- [cheering.]
Ah, yes.
(Chad) This is my bounce-back.
I'm getting back in the saddle.
This is a great way to show the Red Team I'm here, I mean business, and I'm ready to work with you guys.
(Gordon) You had the right garnish with the right cut.
That's what I like to see, that level of intuition coming into play, good job.
Thanks, Chef.
This sucks.
Red Team, congratulations, well done.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
You're in for a big treat.
You're gonna meet some Hollywood actors.
- Oh-ho.
- Yeah, babe.
(Gordon) How many of you have seen The Hangover? [cheering.]
If it's Bradley Cooper, I'm gonna [bleep.]
.
(Gordon) How many have you seen We Bought a Zoo? - Yes, I've seen that.
- Yeah, I've seen it.
(Gordon) These are just a few of the films these actors have appeared in.
Shut up.
(Gordon) You're heading to meet I'll get a beer with B-Coops and Matt Damon.
You're heading to meet Hollywood animals.
Oh! (Gordon) These are special animal actors.
You're gonna feed tigers.
Oh, my god, I'm not doing that.
That's not a reward; that's a [bleep.]
death sentence.
Oh, there's one more thing.
(Gordon) All of you are getting your very own top-of-the-line Vitamix blenders.
(Ariel) No way! [cheering.]
(Gordon) Well done.
- Oh, my God.
- There we are.
(Chad) It's a brand-new Vitamix.
Are you kidding me? Best trophy ever.
Red Team to the dorm.
(Gordon) Congratulations.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
Chad, what an impact, good job.
Thanks, Chef.
(Gordon) Blue Team, I decided to give the bakers a day off, so I want all the bread beautifully baked.
You start off with grinding the wheat by hand.
And what is fresh bread without handmade butter? The old-fashioned way.
Your freshly baked bread is gonna go with tonight's very special service.
It's gonna be cowboy steak night.
If that's not enough, there's quite a large potent stench coming from the bison's peat, so the carpet needs shampooing.
Thanks a lot, Bison Jack.
Stupid bison.
Filthy animal.
(Frank) Exactly.
(Frank voiceover ) It's degrading, you know, cleaning up buffalo pee.
I feel like a [bleep.]
private.
[laughter.]
Ew, what's that smell? Have fun, guys.
Jared, you missed a spot.
(Ashley) Have fun cleaning up that bison pee.
(Kristin) Whew.
(Joe) Yeah, see you later.
(Joe) I'll save a spot for you to clean when you get back.
This sucks.
(woman) Whoo! (Chad) Does anybody have a tranquilizer gun ready? (Jackie) Oh, jeez.
(Eric) Welcome to Hollywood Animals.
This is crazy.
We'll meet some exotic animals.
Come on my way.
I'm gonna die.
[leopard growls.]
(Ashley) This is so crazy.
Come over here into our little safe zone.
(Ashley) I get to pet a tiger.
This is so exciting.
Annika is a year and 4 month old mix, Siberian-Bengal tiger.
She's about 175 pounds.
(Eric) So who wants to go first? - Me.
- I do.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
I mean, who doesn't want to play with a tiger, right? So use your meat up there.
Now pull your meat back.
(Eric) There you go.
- Claws are like - I know.
(Eric) Now go ahead and pay her.
- Good girl.
- Nice.
Honest, if you're scared, I wouldn't suggest doing that.
Why? Because it's a [bleep.]
tiger.
[tiger growls.]
Can you chill out? - I'm chill.
- No, you're not.
(Jackie) I am, like, deathly afraid of animals.
No, she gets excited.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
She's like, "Someone might be nervous.
I can capitalize on this.
" Oh.
[soft growling.]
Okay.
(Jackie) I've never been this scared in my life.
Like, I've had people pull guns out on me, like, in my face, and I was not even nowhere near as scared as I am right now.
Now tell her, "Sit.
" Sit, sit.
(Eric) Okay, just a tiger, don't worry.
Yeah.
(Jackie) This is how white people die all the time.
And yeah, that was me today.
I was the dumb white bitch [bleep.]
feeding a tiger with a stick.
(Eric) Nice long, firm strokes.
(narrator) While Jackie is still deciding whether she is enjoying her reward, back in Hell's Kitchen, the Blue Team is busy churning out their punishment.
I'm sweating profusely.
Oh, man.
My ceramic broke into the butter.
What the [bleep.]
? All right, switch to the other one.
Mother always said I have the Midas touch, but instead of everything turning to gold, it turns to [bleep.]
.
Aw, you got to be kidding me! Wh Otpie of the [bleep.]
ramic chip.
(Joe) I wasn't even doing it that hard.
[laughs.]
(Eric) So this is Bam Bam.
He's a 14-year-old grizzly bear.
Can you say hi? [bear moans.]
- Aw.
- Oh, my God.
(Chad) He's, like, the coolest bear ever.
You guys ready to give him a kiss? - Yes.
- Yeah.
Yeah? Okay.
Walk up to Chris.
He's gonna hand you a treat.
You're gonna put it in your lips, not your mouth.
Just on your lips.
And you're gonna walk right up to him, let him take it, and step back out.
I heard '80s music.
(Kristin) I leaned in.
He leaned in.
['80s rock ballad.]
(Kristin) This is the best bear kiss I've ever had.
Yeah.
(Kristin) Pretty sure, like, every kiss from now on is gonna have to involve marshmallows.
(Eric) There you go.
(narrator) Coming up, when the Red has a heart-to-heart with Jackie We cannot carry you through challenges, bro.
(narrator) Jackie reveals a secret.
I've only been cooking for three months! (narrator) After a unique, rewarding day of petting tigers and kissing bears, the Red Team (Jackie) Wedge salad down.

King crab cocktail, wedge salad, straightforward.
Ugh.
Tomahawk porterhouse, Wellington.
We got a whole new menu, baby.
(Kristin) This night should honestly go super smooth.
Our menu's actually smaller.
Ranchers aren't even really picky people, right? Like, they just want their steak and their [bleep.]
mac 'n cheese.
(Gordon) Red Team, line up, please.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Quick.
Blue Team, line up, please.
(Gordon) Quickly.

(Ariel) They suck.
(Ariel) Kristin, flip them? (Kristin) I don't have time to flip them.
I'm doing your garnish.
You're [bleep.]

(Kristin voiceover) You need to hold on to the spatula, get these scallops out of the pan, and walk your happy ass to the [bleep.]
pass.
Scallops, where are they? Ah, [bleep.]

They're all stuck to the pan.
(Gordon) Scallops, now! And I mean now! Yes, Chef, I'm re-firing.

(Frank) Heard, Wellington walking to the pass right now.
(Joe) Garnish walking.
Service, please, go.
Thank you.
(woman) I'm so excited.
Clear down.
Thanks, Jared.
That was a total that was the worst service we've ever had.
I don't know what the [bleep.]
happened.
Yeah.
Where was the major breakdown in service? The meat and the fish is supposed to push, especially on a night like this where we're so heavy on meat and fish.
(Jackie) Okay, Ariel and Ashley.
Yeah, I'm voting for them two, because service [bleep.]
sucked.
Me, the hardest part was just making the steak perfect.
Yeah, you weren't searing them correctly.
I know how to cook a [bleep.]
steak, dude.
But you didn't do it today.
(Jackie) Meat and fish [bleep.]
ed up, and that's it.
Yeah, meat and fish.
(Ashley) I am telling you, I am not the weakest person on this team, absolutely [bleep.]
not.
Well, who do you think the team's strong without? I can promise you it's not myself and Ariel.
We are definitely two of the strongest people here.
Yeah, but if those two stations would have went okay, we wouldn't have [bleep.]
got kicked out of the kitchen.
This is the first dinner service I've struggled at all, and the burnt tuna was not me.
(Jackie) Okay, well, I didn't do nothing wrong.
(Ariel) Like, a big part is, when you come to help people, you have to actually be able to help them.
Jackie's not a strong enough person to come into a station and help.
Like, if you're gonna come into a station and help, you need to hold down that station.
Ariel, what do you think, two weakest people on the team? I'd say Ashley and Jackie.
Ashley and Jackie.
You'd say me? Yes, Jack, I would say you.
(Chad) Ashley, who do you think are the two weakest people on the team right now? Those two.
Kristin? (Kristin) Jackie and Ariel.
Ashley's a stronger cook than you.
She is not a stronger cook than me.
She brings a little bit more to the table than you.
So you really think she's more creative than me? Yeah.
Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
She's not.
Everything I cooked today was [bleep.]
perfect, and then I tried to [bleep.]
help everybody, and they want to throw me in? I mean, come the [bleep.]
on.
It's baffling to me that my name would even be mentioned.
What are you voting for? Based on this service, I would say Jackie.
Why are you voting for me? Who do you want me to vote for? Them two! They [bleep.]
ed up service and made us lose! I [bleep.]
kill it in service every [bleep.]
time! When you are in service, you shine as a cook.
(Ariel) Challenges is where you shine as a chef.
We cannot carry you through challenges, bro.
I've only been cooking for three months! (Kristin) Wait a minute, what? Jackie's only been cooking for three months? (Kristin) Everyone else has been cooking forever.
We deserve this, and obviously Jackie doesn't.
But that means you're not ready for BLT.
I got [bleep.]
seven Oh, yeah, I'm ready for BLT.
I got seven years on you, and six months.
I've worked way less anywhere than all these people, and I can [bleep.]
successfully do every station, and nobody else can.
How am I going up? I mean, that's completely ridiculous! You know what, [bleep.]
all of them, really.
I just hate it that we can't choke people here.
Unbelievable.
It's just unbelievable.
That was terrible.
(Gordon) Red Team, have you reached a consensus? (all) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Good.
Jackie, Red Team's first nominee, and why.
Our first nominee is Ariel.
The fish station completely collapsed.
The scallops, everything was just bad.
(Gordon) Red Team's second nominee, and why.
Hey, they voted for me.
They voted for you.
- Yes.
- Why? I really don't know.
I believe it should have been Ashley, 'cause if I was on either one of those stations, I would have ran it way better.
(Kristin) We chose Jackie, Chef, because of her lack of progress.
It doesn't help us to have to be creative for her.
We have to carry her most of the way, Chef.
That's not true, Chef.
What a mess.
Jackie, Ariel, step forward.
Ariel, let's be honest.
Your worst performance.
Chef.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? (Ariel) Chef, I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I'm passionate, I'm intuitive, I'm strong, I'm decisive, and I'm a leader.
I don't think one service should dictate me leaving Hell's Kitchen.
You struggled big-time.
Very disappointing.
- Heard, Chef.
- Very.
Jackie.
Yes, Chef.
Why do you deserve to stay in Hell's Kitchen? I can cook a scallop.
I can sear a steak.
(Jackie) I'm a natural-born leader.
I mean, I know I could run BLT.
I shouldn't even be up here, Chef.
It was meat and fish that died today.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is [suspenseful music.]
(narrator) After one of their worst services in quite some time, the Red Team has nominated Ariel and Jackie for elimination.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen [suspenseful music.]
Joe.
(Gordon) Give me your jacket.
Joe, unfortunately, you are not ready to be the next head chef at BLT.
Service after service after service, I'm not seeing any change.
Yes, Chef.
Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity, Chef.
It was a pleasure.
(Joe) Hell's Kitchen was much more grueling than I could have ever imagined.
It's easy to be an armchair quarterback when you're sitting at home watching it, going, "Yeah, I could make a risotto.
" It's a much different story when you're in the line of fire with Chef Ramsay up your rear end.
If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas, and I'm the one out here right now, so I'm the one that's got to take it on the chin.
Ariel, Jackie Yes, Chef.
Back in line.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
The field has been cut in half.
Now is the time to get your [bleep.]
together.
(Gordon) Is that clear? (all) Yes, Chef.
Now [bleep.]
off out of here.
(Manda) This is crazy.
All the fat has been trimmed, and strong people are about to be going home.
(Ariel) I'm upset with myself that I had my worst service ever.
I just have to work as hard as I know that I can work, and just every day keep pushing myself further.
(Jackie) Holy [bleep.]
.
Do I think I'm the weakest on my team? No.
In service, I kill it every time.
I'm so pissed, I can't even tell you what I want to do.
I'll get arrested for even saying it.
(Gordon) Joe had an amazing taste profile and was a standout in challenges.
Unfortunately for him, dinner services were just out of his reach.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen After 14 seasons of epic battles (man) You don't have the balls to take over.
(woman) Shut the [bleep.]
up! (man) Listen to me! (man) You better get out of my face.
- Idiot! - God! (narrator) You are not going to believe what is coming next.
Put your hands on me.
(Manda) Jackie! (narrator) You witnessed Elise versus Carrie.
You better get out of my face.
(narrator) You were shocked by Milly versus Brendan.
You can't even burn [bleep.]
.
(narrator) And you were amazed by Joseph versus Chef Ramsay.
(Joseph) Let's go step outside.
Ain't nothing but a bitch.
(narrator) But it's time to get ready (Jackie) Give me your lighter.
Ooh.
You're a disgusting-ass bitch.
(narrator) For an all-out war between Kristin Get the [bleep.]
out of my face! (narrator) And (Jackie) What are you gonna do about it? (narrator) Jackie.
- Get out of my face.
- Put your hands on me.
No, no, bitch.
Crazy, deranged? (narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
