6 Chefs Compete
1 (male narrator) Previously on Hell's Kitchen Today, I'll be testing your palates using ice creams.
Yeah! (narrator) Chef Ramsay put a twist on his classic blind taste-test challenge, testing the chefs' palates with an assortment of ingredients infused into ice cream.

- Ah.
- [laughs.]
- Mint? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- What? - Snickers? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- Snickers? - [laughs.]
Poor Frank.
He's so stupid.
(narrator) And Manda suffered the consequences.
(all) Oh! Oh, my gosh.
(narrator) Dannie also registered a big zero for the Blue Team.
- Watermelon.
- [buzzer buzzes.]
- Marshmallow? - [buzzer buzzes.]

(narrator) To deliver an excellent service.
Ladies, great job.
- That was our best service yet.
- On it.
(narrator) Unfortunately for the Blue Team Come on, Blue Team, come on.
(narrator) Having an extra person in the kitchen was more of a disadvantage than an advantage Each station tonight is just dumping me [bleep.]
.
(narrator) Because Jared had basic issues with his New York strips.
We're going from overcooked to blue now.
Overcooked to blue! This is not good.
(narrator) And Frank had problems all night with his snapper.
Frank! Raw fish.
It's embarrassing.
(narrator) After an intense deliberation Instead of answering me, you laughed at me.
Right, when you told me "Don't give me a [bleep.]
attitude"? (narrator) The Blue Team nominated - Jared.
- (narrator) And Frank.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay eliminated Frank.
(narrator) Ending his dream of becoming the next head chef at BLT Steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
[dramatic music.]
[suspenseful music.]
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Good night.
(Jared) I definitely feel like I have somewhat of a target on my back.
I mean, the Blue Team is not happy with me so they're just trying to get rid of me.
[sighs.]
(Ariel) Thank you.
You all right? I [bleep.]
up so bad.
I know.
I know.
But now there's even more pressure on me because I'm the last dude here.
I'm the last man in this house.
All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing right now and I'll be successful.
I got a lot riding on this now.
Yeah, you do, guy.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

(narrator) A special surprise from Chef Ramsay - for the final six.
- [snoring.]
[dramatic music.]
[cheerful music.]
Hi.
This is my mom and she's always been here for me for through everything.
It's definitely good to have her here.
- I'm here for you.
- You're really here? Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Just to open my eyes and actually see it's my sister, it means everything.
These people have been driving me nuts here.
[laughs.]
Daddy! Oh, my God.
Oh! [chuckles.]
Oh, my God.
My dad's definitely my heart and I've always been a Daddy's girl.
So it means a lot.
- Mom.
- [laughs.]
Oh, my God.
That Mom hug is just everything.
To be honest, between you and Dad, I'm a lot happier you came than Dad.
[laughs.]
Come here.
Don't cry.
- Aww.
- I miss them so much.
It's all right.
What a surprise.
- [laughs.]
- I see my brother and the first thing I think of are my kids.
Growing up, I wanted to protect him, And now being a mom myself, I would do absolutely anything in the world to protect my kids.
All right, it's time to wrap it up, guys.
- Love you.
- Love you too, Mom.
- Love you.
- I love you too.
- I love you, Dad.
- I love you.
I have wanted to see my dad forever.
He trained me.
He taught me everything I know.
He taught me to be tough.
It's because of him that I'm able to compete in this competition at all.
So this is definitely the motivation I needed to push me harder.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Good morning.
(all) Good morning, chef.
There are many moments in Hell's Kitchen that I really enjoy.
A great service, crowning a champion, and the moment when we're down to our final six talented chefs.
It really makes me happy.
[triumphant music.]
- Oh.
- Oh, my God.
Oh.
From the ceiling comes the beautiful black jacket that I want so badly.
I want that, chef.
I have a very special gift for each of you.
[laughter.]
Families, come on out please.
[laughter.]
Oh, my God.
(Gordon) Welcome.
Good to see you.
(Ashley) I'm so excited.
My dad's my BFF.
He is gonna be so proud to see me in this black jacket.
It's so amazing to be here with him.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm proud of my accomplishments.
I know my family is proud of my accomplishments.
This is the best day of my life.
- How are we? - Great.
- Thanks.
- We're wonderful.
Thank you so much for making the effort to be here.
Thank you.
Now, on the count of three, I would like you to open your gift.
- One.
- Oh, this is crazy.
My dad is gonna watch me open the box with the black jacket in it.
Two.
Three.
- Let's go.
- (all) Aww.
- Oh, no.
- What is this? - A straitjacket.
- Oh, my God.
It's a straitjacket? Yeah.
Thanks, Chef Ramsay.
Not exactly the jacket you were expecting, right? (all) No, chef.
Well, you haven't earned your black jacket just yet.
[bleep.]
.
You all know that great chefs need to become great teachers, right? (woman) Yes, chef.
For your next challenge, you're going to be teaching your loved ones to recreate my stunning branzino dish.
Oh, God.
And you'll be wearing a straitjacket.
- Oh, no! - Oh, my God.
- Oh, no.
- Ugh.
This is not an easy thing to do.
He tried to put me in one when I was about 15.
(Ariel) I was gonna say my mom, too.
[laughter.]
I'm gonna be cursing a lot, chef.
Be prepared for that.
Families, help.
Let's get these wonderful straitjackets on please.
- Let's go.
- [all whining.]
Chef, this is mean.
Putting Jared in this straitjacket is okay.
But cooking? I don't know if he told you.
(Jared) This is gonna be so difficult.
Especially 'cause my mom hates the kitchen so much.
Families ready? (all) Yes, chef.
Your 30 minutes starts now.
- Come on.
Come on.
- Let's go.
- Come on.
- Mom.
(woman) Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
(narrator) In today's Straitjacket Challenge, the chef's must coach their family members to properly execute Chef Ramsay's branzino dish.
First, hit the pan with some olive oil.
We're gonna wanna blister these tomatoes.
(narrator) The pair with the most accurate replication will win the challenge for their team.
Be really generous with it.
More olive oil.
More olive oil.
Whenever my dad and I have to cook for the family, they call it Kristin's Bitchin' Kitchen because I'm, like I'm always up my dad's [bleep.]
.
Like, "No, do it this way.
Do it that way.
" So it's second nature for us.
Don't us your knife like that.
- Sorry.
- [laughs.]
.
(Ashley) Score it very lightly, not too deep.
There you go.
I'm very confident with my dad as my partner.
We own multiple restaurants back home.
So this should be a walk in the park for him.
Get those beans out of that pod.
- See them? - Right here? No, no, no.
Dad, the beans.
- Right here? - Oh, my God.
- No, the beans! - I can't see beans.
The beans in those pods.
Oh, my goodness.
- You're killing me.
- Honey, I can't go any faster.
20 minutes to go.
Is it on? - I don't know.
- Is it hot? - Yes! It's hot.
- Then [bleep.]
put the tomatoes - in it, Mom.
- Put them in? Me and my mom have a really love-hate relationship.
- Put it in? - Yes, Mom.
Come on, act like you've cooked before.
Like, I always love her as my mom.
But sometimes, as a friend, she just annoys the [bleep.]
out of me.
Leave it! Leave it! Uh, [bleep.]
.
- No harm.
- That was gross! Put it down and wash your hands! - No harm.
- Why would you eat something - off the floor? - All right.
Last ten minutes, guys.
Come check these beans, we need more chicken stock in them.
- Right in? - Yup.
Come on, beans.
I need you to cook.
Get soft.
There you go, perfect.
- Speed up.
- Oh, my God.
Get that skin side down.
This right here is an easy task.
My sister's a chef.
Come on.
I think I'm doing all right.
- You sure? - My hand's starting to shake.
Skin up.
We're gonna score that.
I feel like I'm missing something.
What are you missing? I'm not sure.
(Jared) Careful, watch those fingers.
Yup.
Four minutes to go.
Don't be afraid to use the whole knife.
I am.
This is very nerve-racking.
I definitely don't feel safe in the kitchen around my mom.
- That's a perfect length.
- [gasps.]
- You okay? - Yup.
Mom, please just don't stab you or me.
Now get all those together in a pint container.
- Grab a bunch - [gasps.]
- [bleep.]
.
- That was a good one.
That was a good one.
[suspenseful music.]
(narrator) In today's Straitjacket Challenge - Put it in? - Yes, Mom.
Come on.
Act like you've cooked before.
(narrator) The chefs must coach their loved ones to cook Chef Ramsay's branzino dish without physically helping.
- That's a perfect length.
- [gasps.]
- You okay? - Yup.
Get all those together in a pint container.
- Grab a bunch - [gasps.]
[bleep.]
! - That was a good one.
- That was a good one.
Ugh! Mom, get the beans out and then go to the medic.
This is not good.
I'm just hoping my mom makes it out with all ten digits.
- I'm sorry, Jared.
- No, Mom, it's fine.
Mom, it's fine.
I don't want you to cut yourself for this.
You're gonna lose because I cut myself.
Mom, Mom.
- Who cares? - I care.
(Gordon) One minute to go.
Come on, Dad.
Come on, Dad.
- Final push.
- You're tasting.
Okay, hurry up, Mom.
- Behind, behind, behind.
- Okay, here.
- This one? - This one.
Grab this.
- Ten, nine - You're fine.
- You're fine, Mom.
- No, no, in the middle.
- Eight, seven - Just a little bit.
- Good.
- Six - Come on.
Come on.
- Five - Pick up there and clean.
- Four - Behind, behind, behind.
- Right behind.
- Three - Dad.
Two, one and serve.
Red Team, Blue Team, this is still a Team Challenge.
But today, the chef who was the best teacher wins the challenge for the team.
Let's start off with Ariel and her mom, Loren.
Let's go.
It's a little nerve-racking to present my dish to Chef Ramsay just because I know it doesn't really look - at all like his dish looked.
- Thank you.
Yeah, this is gonna be interesting.
Visually, it looks a little hectic.
A little messy.
The skin's nice and crispy.
It's good.
Any lemon juice at the end? Um, no, we did definitely miss the lemon juice at the end.
Um, the question is, for me, did anyone do any better? But good job.
Well done.
- Wow, thank you, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
Thank you.
Excellent.
(Ariel) I was proud of my mom.
Good job, Mom.
Next up, Ashley and dad, Eddie.
Let's go.
Red Team, have no fear.
Papa Dukes and Ashley, we got this.
- Here you are, chef.
- Thank you.
Now, you have a restaurant.
Several.
- Excuse me.
- [laughter.]
Wow.
What's your favorite? - Funky Monkey.
- Yeah.
- [bleep.]
what? - Asian - [laughter.]
- Whoo! No, it's an Asian fusion restaurant.
- Funky.
Funky Monkey.
- Okay.
I thought you said [bleep.]
my Monkey.
- No.
- [laughter.]
- Well, I have said that before.
- Okay.
Visually, it looks nice.
Thank you.
Skin, nice and crispy.
Mmm.
Oh, that's delicious.
Good job.
I mean, really good job.
- Thank you, chef.
- Yeah, everything's on point.
Is it the best dish so far? Yes, it is.
Good job, both of you.
- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you.
- Well done.
- Thank you very much.
- Really good job, wow.
- Thank you, chef.
Good job, Daddy.
[techno music.]
Daddy daughter duo Next up, Kristin, with your father, Kim.
Right, branzino, scored beautifully.
Crisp.
Love it.
You hear that? Just beautifully done.
Wow, you absolutely nailed it.
This dish, now, represents the best in the Red Team.
Good job.
Both of you.
- Good job, Kristin.
- I think it's amazing.
- You did really good.
- Really good.
Yay, Dad.
So that dish is representing the Red Team.
(narrator) With Kristin securing the top spot on the Red Team, it's now time to determine who will face off against her from the Blue Team.
Starting with Jared and his mom, Mardi.
Let's go.
I'm nervous as [bleep.]
about this.
Okay.
Nice, nice, nice.
How would you describe that? - Interesting.
- [laughter.]
(Gordon) Interesting.
Fish is actually cooked delicious.
Tomatoes, beautifully done.
But where are the vegetables? Did you eat them? No, I cut my fingers cutting them so Oh, we left them off.
- Yeah.
- They were raw, chef.
- Uh, they're raw? - Yes, sir.
That's unfortunate.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Good effort but missing the vegetables.
Manda and Joe.
(narrator) With Jared and his mom coming up short for the Blue Here you are, chef.
(narrator) Manda and her brother are hoping their dish will be a worthy challenger to go against the Red Team's best.
Hmm.
Fish cooked beautifully.
- Thanks, chef.
- Glistening in the center.
The one issue I've got is here.
Mm-hmm? Those beans haven't been cooked long enough.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- It's unfortunate.
They're hard.
But the flavor and the seasonings are on point.
Let's see if this is better than Jared.
- Yes, it is.
- Thank you very much, chef.
Very much indeed.
(narrator) With Manda and Joe's branzino edging out Jared for the Blue Team lead - Next up, Dannie - Yes, chef.
And your sister, Kisha.
Let's go.
(narrator) Dannie hopes her branzino is good enough to top Manda's and face off against Kristin for the win.
Well first of all, visually, it looks lovely.
Thank you.
(Dannie) I'm completely confident in me and my sister right now.
This is the most certain I've been about any challenge in this competition and have zero worries about.
Mmm.
Wow.
It's good.
- It's really good.
- Thank you, chef.
It is definitely the best dish in the Blue Team.
- Good job.
Well done.
- Thank you, chef.
- Leave that there.
- Good job, Dannie.
(narrator) With Dannie and her sister claiming the top spot for the Blue Kristin, step forward please.
Bring the dish.
(narrator) She now faces Kristin and her dad to see which branzino dish will take home the victory for their team.
Thank you.
This is tough.
Very tough indeed because there's one small point separating the dishes.
The winning dish belongs to [suspenseful music.]
Kristin and her dad, Kim.
- Good job.
- Thank you, chef.
- Yeah, amazing.
- Thank you, Dad.
- [cheering.]
- Good job, seriously.
- Whoo! - Red Team, congratulations.
Yes! That was hard Dannie, a little score on the branzino.
That's all.
I'm so psyched that we had the best dish out of everybody.
That's just something that me and my dad are gonna be able to share forever.
Thank you, Daddy.
All right, chefs, say good-bye to the families.
I love you.
- Joe, take care.
- Don't forget to tell them I love them.
Well done, Red Team.
[triumphant music.]
Ladies, you are in for an amazing day.
A day that's fit for a king or queen, let me tell you.
Because all three of you are gonna be getting the most amazing royal treatment at a very luxurious spa.
(all) Yes! - Yes, yes, - That's right.
Today is spa day.
- Yes.
- Wow.
I haven't been to a spa in forever.
That's, like, every chef's dream.
I'm so excited.
Head to the dorms, your day of pampering awaits.
- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
Well done.
Blue Team.
Whilst the Red Team are having a luxurious day in the spa, your day is gonna be as far away as you can get from the word luxurious.
Because today in Hell's Kitchen is cleaning day.
Oh, God.
You'll be stripping down the dorm from top to bottom, because the sous chefs have informed me it is absolutely disgusting in there.
It is.
Head to the dorms.
Again, the Blue Team just did not pull it together and it really sucks right now.
Good afternoon, ladies.
Welcome to Burke Williams.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Chef Ramsay has a wonderful day planned out for you.
So let's get you started.
- Okay.
- Awesome.
(Jared) I, like, don't know what to throw away or not in here.
There's long hair everywhere.
Cleaning up the dorms right now is like cleaning up after children.
- Come on.
- What? Mascara.
I am one of the cleanest.
Hands down.
And these girls just they got [bleep.]
everywhere.
Everywhere.
It's about to make me puke thinking about it.
[coughing.]
All things considered, this place could be a lot worse.
Could you imagine if we had all guys left? Oh, yeah.
- What do you mean? - 'Cause the guys were definitely a lot messier than the girls were.
I completely disagree.
Mmm.
[tranquil music.]
This was definitely the challenge worth the win.
[laughs.]
We deserve this but I think the Blue needs a little bit more maintenance.
[laughs.]
I would love to see Jared get is back waxed.
- Eww! - [laughs.]
Don't ever say that again.
(narrator) Coming up next Tonight, you will receive black jackets.
(narrator) With black jackets on the line - You see that? - It's a hair, chef.
It's gross.
Whose is the long black hair? It's got to be Amanda's.
Back the [bleep.]
up off me.
I never touched them.
(narrator) Will one chef's mistake leave Chef Ramsay hanging by a thread? Got no idea what the [bleep.]
is going on! Wow, a lot of stress going on.
[suspenseful music.]
(narrator) After a relaxing day at the spa, the Red chefs are back in Hell's Kitchen.
And both teams are prepping for tonight important dinner service.
(Gordon) Ladies, let's go.
Line up.

It is the last night that you'll be cooking in two separate kitchens.

It doesn't get anymore inspirational than that.

It's [bleep.]
painful.

- Oh, he's cursing somebody out.
Get it together now.
And I mean now.
This is intense.
A bit of this.
A bit of that.
And now it's beyond a joke.
Is it like this in every damn restaurant? Chef, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about that.
Kristin should be able to count to five.

gross, and nasty, and dirty.
Like, we are professional in here.
And hair in food? Oh.

It's [bleep.]
disgusting.
Whose is the long black hair.
It's got to be Amanda's.
[suspenseful music.]
[suspenseful music.]
(narrator) It's 45 minutes into a dinner service where the first team to finish will receive black jackets.
But an unpleasant discovery in the Blue Team's garnish - [bleep.]
.

(Ashley) Come on, push, girls.
(narrator) While the Red Team visualizes success, back in the Blue Kitchen, Chef Ramsay is looking for Manda and Dannie's refires of Snapper, Wellington, New York strip.
Snapper walking first.
I'm bouncing back from this.
I do not care what it takes me, I'm bouncing back, because these tickets are gonna start flying out of here whether it kills me or not.
How long do you need, Dannie? My New York is dressing, I have my two Wellingtons right here.
Dannie, I've got the snapper.
Yes, chef.
Hurry, Dannie, quick, quick, quick.
- Yes.
- Keep going, guys, keep going.
I need more time on this.
Come on, guys.
[bleep.]

That girl better fix this and figure it out right now, because I am going to start losing my [bleep.]
.
How long on your Wellington? How much time? Give me a time.
Dannie, I know you don't care, but look.
I'd rather drag than to send up cold food.
I'm not doing that.
I got no idea what the [bleep.]
is going on! Dannie's like, "I just need more time, I just need more time.
" How much [bleep.]
time? For the 17th time, how long? Chef, I care about what I'm providing.
I'm mad that they're not ready.
Hey, you can all get pissed off as much as you'd like.
It's the customers suffering! Look over there, look! That is it.
We've been waiting long enough.
I'm done.
(narrator) It's nearly two hours into the Black Jacket dinner service (Jared) So how long on Wellington? I'm checking them right now.
(narrator) And Dannie's sluggish performance on her refire You can all get pissed off as much as you'd like.
It's the customers suffering! We haven't got our food yet, and I'm so hungry.
(narrator) Has Chef Ramsay looking for answers.
That is it.
We've been waiting long enough, what is the problem? (Jared) They're cold in the center, chef.
They're cold, chef.
I'm trying to get them hot.
I'm not gonna serve you anything that's not right.
Who took them out? I did, chef.
The timing's off.
Ahh! I'm, like, losing it right now.
I'm losing it.
Come on, please, Wellington.
My Wellington is coming out in one minute, one minute to the window.
(narrator) With the Blue Team stuck in neutral One minute out, chef.

This is the most beautiful color I've ever seen.
Go, go, go, go.
[bleep.]
[bleep.]
.
[all screaming.]
Oh, my God, let's celebrate! - [all squealing.]
- That was the best.
For once, the Red Team is in the pantry with the door closed for a good reason.
These are so fitted so much better.
I'm never taking this black jacket off.
Whoo! (narrator) While the Red Team celebrate their promotion, over in the Blue Kitchen Blue Team, Red Team are finished, and I think there's got to be a little bit more momentum here, yes? (all) Yes, chef! Yes, chef, I'm walking right now.
(Manda) Red Team's done, Red Team's got their black jackets.
Well, who's going home tonight? Better [bleep.]
not be me.
(Dannie) Walking Wellie, guys.
Heard walking Wellie.
Come on, girls.
Right behind.
Service, please.
(narrator) With the Blue Team's last entrees finally making it out to their diners Really excited about it.
I'm sure it'll be good.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay is less than impressed.
Hey, hope you're happy, Blue Team.
Start clearing down.
Ladies, congratulations.
Black Jacket Team, brilliant.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, chef.
Great job.
Blue Team, your performance was a nightmare.
As you'll soon be working as a team in one kitchen, I want all six of you involved in this very important decision.
Decide which two chefs should be put up for elimination.
Get out of here.
(Kristin) At the end of the day, I don't think anybody has the balls on that team to be in a black jacket.
They should put all three of 'em up there for all I care.
I just want to know from all three of you, like, why you want to be on the black team.
Across the board, I've shown that I'm a strong contender, and I push and I push, and then I got [bleep.]
potatoes sent back for a long, black hair in it that wasn't mine.
(Manda) That was not mine.
It was impossible to be mine.
(Manda) Jared doesn't want to take responsibility for anything.
Jared's trying to, like, save his ass.
I think it's [bleep.]
.
Okay, what about all the burnt bits you had on your fish, the bottom of the fish that was The bot the one.
Okay, I [bleep.]
think I'm stronger.
Like, I'm running back and forth from hot apps to garnish tonight.
That's showing hustle.
Dannie was walking to the oven, walking.
(Dannie) Jared, don't lie.
I'm not lying at all.
(Dannie voice-over) Come on, dude, man up.
You're reaching.
You're reaching for anything right now.
I'm not gonna do this confrontation about it.
You just told me I'm a [bleep.]
liar.
No.
Why are you feeling cussing at me? I'm not cussing at you, I You clearly you're lying, like, right now.
I'm not lying right now.
(Dannie voice-over) Man, I can't.
I can't.
I'm not gonna have this grown man yelling and screaming at me.
I'm not gonna plead my case by stooping to their level.
I'm not gonna sit here and yell and fight, it's just not me.
How are you gonna run a kitchen if you can't deal with confrontation? For me, I don't think it's healthy to be yelling back and forth and this and that.
- Well, but well, but - You know, it's not I'm not gonna sit here and cuss at you guys and stuff like that.
You don't need to cuss, but you could still be passionate.
This is just how I deal with these moments.
I just don't see the passion.
That's my problem.
(Ashley) Oh, man, Dannie, you're fighting for a black jacket.
This stuff doesn't just get handed to you, you have to earn it.
I'm over this whole, you know, Dannie's better than everybody [bleep.]
, 'cause let me tell you something, honey, you ain't.
So, what's the final decision? I think all three of you should go up.
That's one service I didn't expect.
Chefs, have you reached a group decision? (all) Yes, chef.
Manda, first nominee and why? Our first nominee was Dannie.
She tends to shut down when she gets behind instead of being more vocal and being loud.
Second nominee and why? It was me, chef.
Do you know why? The girls behind me would trust Jared over myself or Dannie.
Okay, I'm gonna go with the group consensus.
Manda, Dannie, step forward, please.
[dramatic music.]
- Manda.
- Yes, chef? Why do you think you deserve a black jacket? I have never given up.
I keep going, I keep talking.
Every single day, I've gotten better and better at something, and I still have so much to give.
- Dannie.
- Yes, chef? Second bad service in a row.
Why do you think you deserve a black jacket? My performance tonight sucked, and it's embarrassing, but I've never given up.
I've worked every single day to see what is it I can do to show you that I want to be here.
Every day, I know 100% that I fight.
I don't know why it's not being seen.
This is hard.
My decision is Jared get up here.
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) After an excellent dinner service for the Red Team, Ashley, Kristin, and Ariel earned their black jackets.
Now Chef Ramsey must decide which two chefs will be joining them and who will be going home.
(Gordon) My decision is [suspenseful music.]
Jared get up here.
This is not easy.
Yes, I recognize how hard you've worked, and I know how much you care but I want your jacket.
Chef.
Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, chef.
- Put that on.
- Thank you.
- Good job.
- Thank you, chef.
(Jared) I made it in the Black Jackets.
I am [bleep.]
stoked.
(Gordon) Oh, it's really hard.
Manda, take off your jacket.
As a matter of fact, Dannie, take off your jacket.
My decision is Manda listen and listen carefully.
You've shown me that you truly care and that cooking is a passion.
(Manda) Absolutely.
And it's pretty obvious that you miss your family, and I know how tough that is.
Unfortunately, they're gonna have to wait a little longer 'cause I still believe in you.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much, chef.
- Good job.
- Thank you very much.
Dannie, you've been on too much of a downward spiral.
I'm not feeling it, I'm not getting it, and the amount of times I've tried to get through, I've come to the end of my patience.
- Understood.
- Thank you.
- It's my pleasure, chef.
- Good night, good night.
(Dannie) It's shocking to me that I'm leaving right before black jackets.
I was being vocal, I tried to lead the team, and it just wasn't enough, but I know I can walk anywhere and do any job that, you know, is ahead of me, and my future is very bright.
Congratulations to all five of you for joining a very elite group of chefs.
This competition is wide open.
Congratulations.
Good night.
(all) Thank you, chef.
Get out of here.
(Manda) Between me and Dannie, kind of glad it's me.
I know I'm a badass chef.
I know I'm a badass mom.
I got this.
(Jared) I fought for myself and I deserve to be here.
These girls should watch out because there's nothing that can stop me, nothing.
(Ashley) Dannie wasn't somebody that any of us felt comfortable working with.
Welcome, Amanda and Jared.
You [bleep.]
us up, you're gone.
(Gordon) Dannie may be a boxer in her spare time, but her lack of fight tonight proved she just couldn't go the distance.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen (Gordon) Tonight, each one of you will become my sous chef.
(narrator) With the prize looming (Gordon) Ashley, let's go.
(Ashley) Yes, chef.
Being Chef Ramsey's sous chef is terrifying.
How long on those two snapper, Jared? (narrator) Will one chef's blind ambition Snapper walking.
I love Ashley to death, but I have to do what I have to do to get ahead.
(narrator) Make him turn on the one he loves the most? (Gordon) Hey, Ashley, my jaw's on the floor.
(Jared) Whoops, sorry.
(Ashley) I'm gonna kill you, Jared.
You're trying to be [bleep.]
sneaky.
(Jared) No, I'm not.
(Ashley) I'm so furious, like, I could break his neck.
(narrator) Hell hath no fury (Ashley) You are officially dead to me.
- We are not friends.
- Ashley (narrator) Like a chef scorned.
(Ashley) You have officially lost the only friend you have.
(narrator) It's all next time on a cold You don't say that [bleep.]
! (narrator) And unforgiving episode Send 'em both home.
(narrator) Of Hell's Kitchen.
Yeah! (narrator) Chef Ramsay put a twist on his classic blind taste-test challenge, testing the chefs' palates with an assortment of ingredients infused into ice cream.
- Coconut.
- Yes.
(narrator) While Ariel got the Red Team off to a strong start - Peanut Butter.
- Yes.
(narrator) Frank was completely shut out.
- Hazelnut? - Wrong.
- [buzzer buzzes.]
- Pistachio? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- Ah.
- [laughs.]
- Mint? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- What? - Snickers? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- Snickers? - [laughs.]
Poor Frank.
He's so stupid.
(narrator) And Manda suffered the consequences.
(all) Oh! Oh, my gosh.
(narrator) Dannie also registered a big zero for the Blue Team.
- Watermelon.
- [buzzer buzzes.]
- Marshmallow? - [buzzer buzzes.]
- What? - Pepper, chef.
- [bleep.]
.
- I get some type of nut.
- I guess almond.
- [buzzer buzzes.]
Blast away.
- Oh! - [laughs.]
(narrator) And with Kristin nailing three out of four - Coffee.
- Yes.
- Banana.
- Wow.
- Strawberry.
- (narrator) The Red Team - Dominated.
- What the [bleep.]
? (narrator) At dinner service - Kristin, jump on the garnish.
- Yes, chef.
(narrator) With only three chefs in the Red Kitchen Pass everything she needs for the risotto.
- Yes, chef.
- So you can do the garnish and the risotto at the same time.
- (narrator) Kristin - To the window with garnish.
- (narrator) Ariel - Two char coming to the pass - right now, chef.
- (narrator) And Ashley Walking with my strips.
(narrator) Used great communication Five minutes on the next two snapper.
Garnish is right there for it.
That's going with what? (narrator) And superior cooking Two New Yorks.
(narrator) To deliver an excellent service.
Ladies, great job.
- That was our best service yet.
- On it.
(narrator) Unfortunately for the Blue Team Come on, Blue Team, come on.
(narrator) Having an extra person in the kitchen was more of a disadvantage than an advantage Each station tonight is just dumping me [bleep.]
.
(narrator) Because Jared had basic issues with his New York strips.
We're going from overcooked to blue now.
Overcooked to blue! This is not good.
(narrator) And Frank had problems all night with his snapper.
Frank! Raw fish.
It's embarrassing.
(narrator) After an intense deliberation Instead of answering me, you laughed at me.
Right, when you told me "Don't give me a [bleep.]
attitude"? (narrator) The Blue Team nominated - Jared.
- (narrator) And Frank.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay eliminated Frank.
(narrator) Ending his dream of becoming the next head chef at BLT Steak at Bally's in Las Vegas.
[dramatic music.]
[suspenseful music.]
And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Good night.
(Jared) I definitely feel like I have somewhat of a target on my back.
I mean, the Blue Team is not happy with me so they're just trying to get rid of me.
[sighs.]
(Ariel) Thank you.
You all right? I [bleep.]
up so bad.
I know.
I know.
But now there's even more pressure on me because I'm the last dude here.
I'm the last man in this house.
All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing right now and I'll be successful.
I got a lot riding on this now.
Yeah, you do, guy.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

Oh, my gosh.
Just to open my eyes and actually see it's my sister, it means everything.
These people have been driving me nuts here.

Don't cry.

- I miss them so much.
It's all right.
What a surprise.

- Love you too, Mom.
- Love you.
- I love you too.
- I love you, Dad.
- I love you.
I have wanted to see my dad forever.
He trained me.
He taught me everything I know.
He taught me to be tough.
It's because of him that I'm able to compete in this competition at all.
So this is definitely the motivation I needed to push me harder.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Good morning.
(all) Good morning, chef.
There are many moments in Hell's Kitchen that I really enjoy.
A great service, crowning a champion, and the moment when we're down to our final six talented chefs.
It really makes me happy.
[triumphant music.]
- Oh.
- Oh, my God.
Oh.
From the ceiling comes the beautiful black jacket that I want so badly.

It's a straitjacket? Yeah.
Thanks, Chef Ramsay.
Not exactly the jacket you were expecting, right? (all) No, chef.
Well, you haven't earned your black jacket just yet.
[bleep.]
.
You all know that great chefs need to become great teachers, right? (woman) Yes, chef.
For your next challenge, you're going to be teaching your loved ones to recreate my stunning branzino dish.
Oh, God.
And you'll be wearing a straitjacket.
- Oh, no! - Oh, my God.
- Oh, no.
- Ugh.
This is not an easy thing to do.
He tried to put me in one when I was about 15.
(Ariel) I was gonna say my mom, too.
[laughter.]
I'm gonna be cursing a lot, chef.
Be prepared for that.
Families, help.
Let's get these wonderful straitjackets on please.
- Let's go.
- [all whining.]
Chef, this is mean.
Putting Jared in this straitjacket is okay.
But cooking? I don't know if he told you.
(Jared) This is gonna be so difficult.
Especially 'cause my mom hates the kitchen so much.
Families ready? (all) Yes, chef.
Your 30 minutes starts now.
- Come on.
Come on.

First, hit the pan with some olive oil.
We're gonna wanna blister these tomatoes.
(narrator) The pair with the most accurate replication will win the challenge for their team.
Be really generous with it.
More olive oil.
More olive oil.
Whenever my dad and I have to cook for the family, they call it Kristin's Bitchin' Kitchen because I'm, like I'm always up my dad's [bleep.]
.
Like, "No, do it this way.
Do it that way.
" So it's second nature for us.
Don't us your knife like that.
- Sorry.
- [laughs.]
.
(Ashley) Score it very lightly, not too deep.
There you go.
I'm very confident with my dad as my partner.
We own multiple restaurants back home.
So this should be a walk in the park for him.
Get those beans out of that pod.
- See them? - Right here? No, no, no.
Dad, the beans.
- Right here? - Oh, my God.
- No, the beans! - I can't see beans.
The beans in those pods.
Oh, my goodness.
- You're killing me.
- Honey, I can't go any faster.
20 minutes to go.
Is it on? - I don't know.
- Is it hot? - Yes! It's hot.
- Then [bleep.]
put the tomatoes - in it, Mom.
- Put them in? Me and my mom have a really love-hate relationship.
- Put it in? - Yes, Mom.
Come on, act like you've cooked before.
Like, I always love her as my mom.
But sometimes, as a friend, she just annoys the [bleep.]
out of me.
Leave it! Leave it! Uh, [bleep.]
.
- No harm.
- That was gross! Put it down and wash your hands! - No harm.
- Why would you eat something - off the floor? - All right.
Last ten minutes, guys.
Come check these beans, we need more chicken stock in them.
- Right in? - Yup.
Come on, beans.
I need you to cook.
Get soft.
There you go, perfect.
- Speed up.
- Oh, my God.
Get that skin side down.
This right here is an easy task.
My sister's a chef.
Come on.
I think I'm doing all right.
- You sure? - My hand's starting to shake.
Skin up.
We're gonna score that.
I feel like I'm missing something.
What are you missing? I'm not sure.
(Jared) Careful, watch those fingers.
Yup.
Four minutes to go.
Don't be afraid to use the whole knife.
I am.
This is very nerve-racking.
I definitely don't feel safe in the kitchen around my mom.
- That's a perfect length.
- [gasps.]
- You okay? - Yup.
Mom, please just don't stab you or me.
Now get all those together in a pint container.
- Grab a bunch - [gasps.]
- [bleep.]
.
- That was a good one.
That was a good one.
[suspenseful music.]
(narrator) In today's Straitjacket Challenge - Put it in? - Yes, Mom.
Come on.
Act like you've cooked before.
(narrator) The chefs must coach their loved ones to cook Chef Ramsay's branzino dish without physically helping.
- That's a perfect length.
- [gasps.]
- You okay? - Yup.
Get all those together in a pint container.
- Grab a bunch - [gasps.]
[bleep.]
! - That was a good one.
- That was a good one.
Ugh! Mom, get the beans out and then go to the medic.
This is not good.
I'm just hoping my mom makes it out with all ten digits.
- I'm sorry, Jared.
- No, Mom, it's fine.
Mom, it's fine.
I don't want you to cut yourself for this.
You're gonna lose because I cut myself.
Mom, Mom.
- Who cares? - I care.
(Gordon) One minute to go.
Come on, Dad.
Come on, Dad.
- Final push.

Red Team, Blue Team, this is still a Team Challenge.
But today, the chef who was the best teacher wins the challenge for the team.
Let's start off with Ariel and her mom, Loren.
Let's go.
It's a little nerve-racking to present my dish to Chef Ramsay just because I know it doesn't really look - at all like his dish looked.
- Thank you.
Yeah, this is gonna be interesting.
Visually, it looks a little hectic.
A little messy.
The skin's nice and crispy.
It's good.
Any lemon juice at the end? Um, no, we did definitely miss the lemon juice at the end.
Um, the question is, for me, did anyone do any better? But good job.
Well done.
- Wow, thank you, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
Thank you.
Excellent.
(Ariel) I was proud of my mom.
Good job, Mom.
Next up, Ashley and dad, Eddie.
Let's go.
Red Team, have no fear.
Papa Dukes and Ashley, we got this.
- Here you are, chef.
- Thank you.
Now, you have a restaurant.
Several.
- Excuse me.
- [laughter.]
Wow.
What's your favorite? - Funky Monkey.
- Yeah.
- [bleep.]
what? - Asian - [laughter.]
- Whoo! No, it's an Asian fusion restaurant.
- Funky.
Funky Monkey.
- Okay.
I thought you said [bleep.]
my Monkey.
- No.
- [laughter.]
- Well, I have said that before.
- Okay.
Visually, it looks nice.
Thank you.
Skin, nice and crispy.
Mmm.
Oh, that's delicious.
Good job.
I mean, really good job.
- Thank you, chef.
- Yeah, everything's on point.
Is it the best dish so far? Yes, it is.
Good job, both of you.
- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you.
- Well done.
- Thank you very much.
- Really good job, wow.
- Thank you, chef.
Good job, Daddy.
[techno music.]
Daddy daughter duo Next up, Kristin, with your father, Kim.

You hear that? Just beautifully done.
Wow, you absolutely nailed it.
This dish, now, represents the best in the Red Team.
Good job.
Both of you.
- Good job, Kristin.
- I think it's amazing.
- You did really good.
- Really good.
Yay, Dad.
So that dish is representing the Red Team.
(narrator) With Kristin securing the top spot on the Red Team, it's now time to determine who will face off against her from the Blue Team.
Starting with Jared and his mom, Mardi.
Let's go.
I'm nervous as [bleep.]
about this.
Okay.
Nice, nice, nice.
How would you describe that? - Interesting.
- [laughter.]
(Gordon) Interesting.
Fish is actually cooked delicious.
Tomatoes, beautifully done.
But where are the vegetables? Did you eat them? No, I cut my fingers cutting them so Oh, we left them off.
- Yeah.
- They were raw, chef.
- Uh, they're raw? - Yes, sir.
That's unfortunate.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Good effort but missing the vegetables.
Manda and Joe.
(narrator) With Jared and his mom coming up short for the Blue Here you are, chef.
(narrator) Manda and her brother are hoping their dish will be a worthy challenger to go against the Red Team's best.
Hmm.
Fish cooked beautifully.
- Thanks, chef.
- Glistening in the center.
The one issue I've got is here.
Mm-hmm? Those beans haven't been cooked long enough.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- It's unfortunate.
They're hard.
But the flavor and the seasonings are on point.
Let's see if this is better than Jared.
- Yes, it is.
- Thank you very much, chef.
Very much indeed.
(narrator) With Manda and Joe's branzino edging out Jared for the Blue Team lead - Next up, Dannie - Yes, chef.
And your sister, Kisha.
Let's go.
(narrator) Dannie hopes her branzino is good enough to top Manda's and face off against Kristin for the win.
Well first of all, visually, it looks lovely.
Thank you.
(Dannie) I'm completely confident in me and my sister right now.
This is the most certain I've been about any challenge in this competition and have zero worries about.
Mmm.
Wow.
It's good.
- It's really good.
- Thank you, chef.
It is definitely the best dish in the Blue Team.
- Good job.
Well done.
- Thank you, chef.
- Leave that there.
- Good job, Dannie.
(narrator) With Dannie and her sister claiming the top spot for the Blue Kristin, step forward please.
Bring the dish.
(narrator) She now faces Kristin and her dad to see which branzino dish will take home the victory for their team.
Thank you.
This is tough.
Very tough indeed because there's one small point separating the dishes.
The winning dish belongs to [suspenseful music.]
Kristin and her dad, Kim.
- Good job.
- Thank you, chef.
- Yeah, amazing.
- Thank you, Dad.
- [cheering.]
- Good job, seriously.
- Whoo! - Red Team, congratulations.
Yes! That was hard Dannie, a little score on the branzino.
That's all.
I'm so psyched that we had the best dish out of everybody.
That's just something that me and my dad are gonna be able to share forever.
Thank you, Daddy.
All right, chefs, say good-bye to the families.
I love you.
- Joe, take care.
- Don't forget to tell them I love them.
Well done, Red Team.
[triumphant music.]
Ladies, you are in for an amazing day.
A day that's fit for a king or queen, let me tell you.
Because all three of you are gonna be getting the most amazing royal treatment at a very luxurious spa.
(all) Yes! - Yes, yes, - That's right.
Today is spa day.
- Yes.
- Wow.
I haven't been to a spa in forever.
That's, like, every chef's dream.
I'm so excited.
Head to the dorms, your day of pampering awaits.
- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
Well done.
Blue Team.
Whilst the Red Team are having a luxurious day in the spa, your day is gonna be as far away as you can get from the word luxurious.
Because today in Hell's Kitchen is cleaning day.
Oh, God.
You'll be stripping down the dorm from top to bottom, because the sous chefs have informed me it is absolutely disgusting in there.
It is.
Head to the dorms.
Again, the Blue Team just did not pull it together and it really sucks right now.
Good afternoon, ladies.
Welcome to Burke Williams.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Chef Ramsay has a wonderful day planned out for you.
So let's get you started.
- Okay.
- Awesome.
(Jared) I, like, don't know what to throw away or not in here.
There's long hair everywhere.
Cleaning up the dorms right now is like cleaning up after children.
- Come on.
- What? Mascara.
I am one of the cleanest.
Hands down.
And these girls just they got [bleep.]
everywhere.
Everywhere.
It's about to make me puke thinking about it.
[coughing.]
All things considered, this place could be a lot worse.
Could you imagine if we had all guys left? Oh, yeah.
- What do you mean? - 'Cause the guys were definitely a lot messier than the girls were.
I completely disagree.
Mmm.
[tranquil music.]
This was definitely the challenge worth the win.
[laughs.]
We deserve this but I think the Blue needs a little bit more maintenance.
[laughs.]
I would love to see Jared get is back waxed.
- Eww! - [laughs.]
Don't ever say that again.
(narrator) Coming up next Tonight, you will receive black jackets.
(narrator) With black jackets on the line - You see that? - It's a hair, chef.
It's gross.
Whose is the long black hair? It's got to be Amanda's.
Back the [bleep.]
up off me.
I never touched them.
(narrator) Will one chef's mistake leave Chef Ramsay hanging by a thread? Got no idea what the [bleep.]
is going on! Wow, a lot of stress going on.

It's the customers suffering! We haven't got our food yet, and I'm so hungry.
(narrator) Has Chef Ramsay looking for answers.
That is it.
We've been waiting long enough, what is the problem? (Jared) They're cold in the center, chef.
They're cold, chef.
I'm trying to get them hot.
I'm not gonna serve you anything that's not right.
Who took them out? I did, chef.
The timing's off.
Ahh! I'm, like, losing it right now.
I'm losing it.
Come on, please, Wellington.
My Wellington is coming out in one minute, one minute to the window.
(narrator) With the Blue Team stuck in neutral One minute out, chef.
One minute out.
One solid minute.

- Yeah! - Wow.
- Oh, my God! We were born to wear black.
Thank you, chef! Ah! Good job.
This is the most beautiful color I've ever seen.
Go, go, go, go.
[bleep.]
[bleep.]
.
[all screaming.]
Oh, my God, let's celebrate! - [all squealing.]
- That was the best.
For once, the Red Team is in the pantry with the door closed for a good reason.
These are so fitted so much better.
I'm never taking this black jacket off.
Whoo! (narrator) While the Red Team celebrate their promotion, over in the Blue Kitchen Blue Team, Red Team are finished, and I think there's got to be a little bit more momentum here, yes? (all) Yes, chef! Yes, chef, I'm walking right now.
(Manda) Red Team's done, Red Team's got their black jackets.
Well, who's going home tonight? Better [bleep.]
not be me.
(Dannie) Walking Wellie, guys.
Heard walking Wellie.
Come on, girls.
Right behind.
Service, please.
(narrator) With the Blue Team's last entrees finally making it out to their diners Really excited about it.
I'm sure it'll be good.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay is less than impressed.
Hey, hope you're happy, Blue Team.
Start clearing down.
Ladies, congratulations.
Black Jacket Team, brilliant.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, chef.
Great job.
Blue Team, your performance was a nightmare.
As you'll soon be working as a team in one kitchen, I want all six of you involved in this very important decision.
Decide which two chefs should be put up for elimination.
Get out of here.
(Kristin) At the end of the day, I don't think anybody has the balls on that team to be in a black jacket.
They should put all three of 'em up there for all I care.
I just want to know from all three of you, like, why you want to be on the black team.
Across the board, I've shown that I'm a strong contender, and I push and I push, and then I got [bleep.]
potatoes sent back for a long, black hair in it that wasn't mine.
(Manda) That was not mine.
It was impossible to be mine.
(Manda) Jared doesn't want to take responsibility for anything.
Jared's trying to, like, save his ass.
I think it's [bleep.]
.
Okay, what about all the burnt bits you had on your fish, the bottom of the fish that was The bot the one.
Okay, I [bleep.]
think I'm stronger.
Like, I'm running back and forth from hot apps to garnish tonight.
That's showing hustle.
Dannie was walking to the oven, walking.
(Dannie) Jared, don't lie.
I'm not lying at all.
(Dannie voice-over) Come on, dude, man up.
You're reaching.
You're reaching for anything right now.
I'm not gonna do this confrontation about it.
You just told me I'm a [bleep.]
liar.
No.
Why are you feeling cussing at me? I'm not cussing at you, I You clearly you're lying, like, right now.
I'm not lying right now.
(Dannie voice-over) Man, I can't.
I can't.
I'm not gonna have this grown man yelling and screaming at me.
I'm not gonna plead my case by stooping to their level.
I'm not gonna sit here and yell and fight, it's just not me.
How are you gonna run a kitchen if you can't deal with confrontation? For me, I don't think it's healthy to be yelling back and forth and this and that.
- Well, but well, but - You know, it's not I'm not gonna sit here and cuss at you guys and stuff like that.
You don't need to cuss, but you could still be passionate.
This is just how I deal with these moments.
I just don't see the passion.
That's my problem.
(Ashley) Oh, man, Dannie, you're fighting for a black jacket.
This stuff doesn't just get handed to you, you have to earn it.
I'm over this whole, you know, Dannie's better than everybody [bleep.]
, 'cause let me tell you something, honey, you ain't.
So, what's the final decision? I think all three of you should go up.
That's one service I didn't expect.
Chefs, have you reached a group decision? (all) Yes, chef.
Manda, first nominee and why? Our first nominee was Dannie.
She tends to shut down when she gets behind instead of being more vocal and being loud.
Second nominee and why? It was me, chef.
Do you know why? The girls behind me would trust Jared over myself or Dannie.
Okay, I'm gonna go with the group consensus.
Manda, Dannie, step forward, please.
[dramatic music.]
- Manda.
- Yes, chef? Why do you think you deserve a black jacket? I have never given up.
I keep going, I keep talking.
Every single day, I've gotten better and better at something, and I still have so much to give.
- Dannie.
- Yes, chef? Second bad service in a row.
Why do you think you deserve a black jacket? My performance tonight sucked, and it's embarrassing, but I've never given up.
I've worked every single day to see what is it I can do to show you that I want to be here.
Every day, I know 100% that I fight.
I don't know why it's not being seen.
This is hard.
My decision is Jared get up here.
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) After an excellent dinner service for the Red Team, Ashley, Kristin, and Ariel earned their black jackets.
Now Chef Ramsey must decide which two chefs will be joining them and who will be going home.
(Gordon) My decision is [suspenseful music.]
Jared get up here.
This is not easy.
Yes, I recognize how hard you've worked, and I know how much you care but I want your jacket.
Chef.
Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, chef.
- Put that on.
- Thank you.
- Good job.
- Thank you, chef.
(Jared) I made it in the Black Jackets.
I am [bleep.]
stoked.
(Gordon) Oh, it's really hard.
Manda, take off your jacket.
As a matter of fact, Dannie, take off your jacket.
My decision is Manda listen and listen carefully.
You've shown me that you truly care and that cooking is a passion.
(Manda) Absolutely.
And it's pretty obvious that you miss your family, and I know how tough that is.
Unfortunately, they're gonna have to wait a little longer 'cause I still believe in you.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much, chef.
- Good job.
- Thank you very much.
Dannie, you've been on too much of a downward spiral.
I'm not feeling it, I'm not getting it, and the amount of times I've tried to get through, I've come to the end of my patience.
- Understood.
- Thank you.
- It's my pleasure, chef.
- Good night, good night.
(Dannie) It's shocking to me that I'm leaving right before black jackets.
I was being vocal, I tried to lead the team, and it just wasn't enough, but I know I can walk anywhere and do any job that, you know, is ahead of me, and my future is very bright.
Congratulations to all five of you for joining a very elite group of chefs.
This competition is wide open.
Congratulations.
Good night.
(all) Thank you, chef.
Get out of here.
(Manda) Between me and Dannie, kind of glad it's me.
I know I'm a badass chef.
I know I'm a badass mom.
I got this.
(Jared) I fought for myself and I deserve to be here.
These girls should watch out because there's nothing that can stop me, nothing.
(Ashley) Dannie wasn't somebody that any of us felt comfortable working with.
Welcome, Amanda and Jared.
You [bleep.]
us up, you're gone.
(Gordon) Dannie may be a boxer in her spare time, but her lack of fight tonight proved she just couldn't go the distance.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen (Gordon) Tonight, each one of you will become my sous chef.
(narrator) With the prize looming (Gordon) Ashley, let's go.
(Ashley) Yes, chef.
Being Chef Ramsey's sous chef is terrifying.
How long on those two snapper, Jared? (narrator) Will one chef's blind ambition Snapper walking.
I love Ashley to death, but I have to do what I have to do to get ahead.
(narrator) Make him turn on the one he loves the most? (Gordon) Hey, Ashley, my jaw's on the floor.
(Jared) Whoops, sorry.
(Ashley) I'm gonna kill you, Jared.
You're trying to be [bleep.]
sneaky.
(Jared) No, I'm not.
(Ashley) I'm so furious, like, I could break his neck.
(narrator) Hell hath no fury (Ashley) You are officially dead to me.
- We are not friends.
- Ashley (narrator) Like a chef scorned.
(Ashley) You have officially lost the only friend you have.
(narrator) It's all next time on a cold You don't say that [bleep.]
! (narrator) And unforgiving episode Send 'em both home.
(narrator) Of Hell's Kitchen.
