Shh.
Oh, my God, I smell kids.
Sorry.
- Good morning, chefs.
- All: Morning, chef.
Today, all of you are gonna be cooking for unique trendsetters.
Chefs, on the count of three, remove your blindfolds.
One two and three! [cheering.]
[cheering.]
Welcome to Animo Venice High School.
What a reception.
Wow.
Well done.
Now, today all of you will be cooking for these amazing students.
Now, let's go back to your years at high school.
To jog your memory a little bit, - Amanda - Oh, jeez.
Let's check what's under the letter A.
[cheering.]
Wow.
[laughs.]
You look exactly the same.
- (Gordon) I love the hair.
- [scoffs.]
Wow, let's see what's under the letter V, Kristin.
[laughter.]
- (Gordon) Oh, wow! - (Ariel) Cute! - [laughs.]
- I was in a pageant.
Pageant hair [groans.]
17.
17! This is so embarrassing.
Wowzer.
Ariel, let's see what's under - the letter H.
- No, let's not.
[cheering.]
(Gordon) Amazing.
You haven't changed one little bit.
- No, chef.
- Amazing.
Jared, let's see what's under the letter S.
- (Jared) Oh! - [cheering.]
(Jared) Holy cow.
I got these long flowing locks.
17-year-old me's not looking so shabby.
- Oh, man.
- I miss that hair.
- Ashley.
- Ashley, let's have a look.
- Whoa! - [cheering.]
- (Gordon) Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
Where did Chef Ramsay get that God awful picture of me? A cheerleader.
Do you remember any cheers? - No, I'm retired.
- (all) Ohh.
Look at the bow in her head.
She's [bleep.]
retired.
- [laughs.]
- Get out of here, bro.
Right, this is your first individual challenge.
Each of these teenagers are going to taste a delicious sample from each of you.
This group expect to be eating in 40 minutes.
Oh, [bleep.]
.
Your 40 minutes starts now.
- Let's go! - [cheering.]
(narrator) In today's high school lunch challenge, each chef must create their own unique dish Behind you.
(narrator) That can win over the taste buds of 100 hungry teenagers.
[dramatic music.]
Whoo-wee! I have two siblings that are in high school right now, so I thought about what they would like to eat.
Like, we like to be outside and we like to grill together and they like steak.
Looks like what's the rub? Um, cumin seeds, some onion powder, garlic powder, and a little bit of paprika.
I think kids in school, they like simple food that's straightforward with good flavors.
Good.
Well done.
Organize.
Uh, mini chicken pot pie, yes? - Chef.
- That's ambitious.
Everybody loves chicken pot pie.
It's something that I ate when I was in high school, but it's going to be tough.
I have to make the dough, I have to roast the chicken, I have to make the sauce, I have to cut the dough.
Have you got time to get them cooked? - Yes, I do.
- Yeah? Have faith in me, chef.
- Just under 30 minutes to go.
- Yeah, chef.
I've never made this much ground beef.
[bleep.]
.
This is ridiculous.
I doubt myself a lot and I gotta stop.
I gotta knock it the [bleep.]
off.
I'm the best chef here.
- What have you got? - I got my Taco Tuesday.
- That's delicious.
- Thank you.
I got this.
I'm good.
Just coming up to 11 minutes to go.
- Uh, Kristin.
- Yes, chef.
Talk about the dish.
Doing a buttermilk fried chicken salad.
- Uh-huh.
- Keep it light.
Good.
My high school experience sucked so bad.
I got kicked out of two high schools.
I ditched school all the time.
Kinda, I guess, the rebel.
Like, the bad girl.
And now I'm completely different.
Uh, Jared, describe the dish, please.
I'm doing a cumin dusted New York strip, chef.
- Mm-hmm.
- With chipotle croquettes.
Good.
When we were in high school we would grill out in the school parking lot Jared, try not to set the school on fire.
I'll do my best, chef.
But it was just a bunch of people standing around the grill while I did most of the cooking.
So I feel confident with this challenge.
And that prom night went well, yes? Uh, I don't remember the ending of the night, chef.
You don't remember.
Nor does she.
[laughs.]
- 60 seconds to go.
Last minute.
- Yes, chef.
(Gordon) And they are not in the mood to wait for food.
Speed up! Five, four, three, two, one.
[whistle blows.]
Here they come, guys.
Off you go, bud.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Food.
Great, get them while they're hot! - Steak tostatas! - Thank you.
Got a buttermilk fried chicken, a tarragon ranch sauce and a nice, little salad to keep it light.
Good, old-fashioned tacos.
(Manda) I thought feeding my kids was hard.
This is so much easier with three kids and not an entire high school.
This is like I said, this is my kids' favorite thing in the world to eat.
- Honestly, you're such a mom.
- But I am a mom! Like, I will always be a mom! - You can do it! - [laughter.]
There's a lot more children down there.
I think everyone's got a crush on Ariel and Kristin.
I'm like, "What about me?" Nobody has a crush on me.
I'm really sad.
What's your name? You're cute.
- I'll be 18 in three months.
- You'll be 18 in three months? - Yeah.
- Do you wanna go to prom? [clears throat.]
These high school kids do not have palates, so, I mean, charming them [laughs.]
Is basically Plan B.
You're so cute.
Kristin, stop trying to pick up kids.
Jared, I'm trying to be prom queen.
[laughs.]
(Kristin) Will you take me to prom? - (All) Yes! - Yeah, I'll take you! Who doesn't like a pretty, blond girl? But I look up at my station and there's twice as many kids in front of me and I feel like I'm prom king, star of the football team - Who wants seconds? - Whoa! And I just told the principal to go sit on it.
[chanting.]
Jared.
Jared.
Jared.
- Jared cool? - God, I'm a [bleep.]
G.
Are we talking about the same person? Okay, guys, start filling out the cards, please.
(narrator) Now that the kids have tasted all five dishes, they will judge them.
Assigning each dish a letter grade from A to F.
The chef earning the most A's wins the challenge.
Who's looking good? Who's looking tasty? - Ashley.
- Ashley? - It's, like, it's nice.
- Is it better than the existing food in the high school? - Oh, please! - Oh, most definitely.
Whoa, you'll get me into trouble.
Okay, good.
- Wow.
Right.
Ladies? - I like Ariel.
Young man? You're still eating.

[laughter.]
- (crowd) Ooh! - [laughs.]
Yes! I'm ready to do my victory dance.
I got this.
These kids love me.
(Gordon) Uh, the grades are in.
It's time to reveal your report cards.
- Oy, yai, yai.
- Worst time of the year.
The dish that got the least amount of A's belongs to - Manda.
- What? - Oh, dear.
- Oh, well.
(Manda) That sucks.
I wasn't the popular kid back in 2002 and nothing has changed now.
Just above Manda - Kristin.
- (crowd) No! Sorry, Kris.
[laughter.]
At least my fan base stays loyal.
In third place - Ashley.

Excited? - Yeah.
- Your plane awaits.
- Let's go.
- [cheering.]
I'm a little surprised right now, but I'm getting the hell outta Hell's Kitchen.
Thanks, Jared! For the rest of the chefs, today is recycling day in Hell's Kitchen.
[crowd ohhs.]
So, I asked this amazing school to drop off all their garbage from last week I want you to go through all the trash, separating all the food from their bottles and cans, and put them into the right order.
Let's go.
Uh, class dismissed.
Your dumpsters are waiting.
- Bye, guys.

[cheering.]
(Manda) Oh, kids.

- Whoo! - This is awesome.

I feel like there's 60,000 fans cheering for me right now.
[chants.]
Jared.
Jared.
- Oh, they're excited.
- [laughs.]
- Hi.
- I'm Kristin.
- Jared.
- Dwight Clark.
[Kristin grunts.]
I can't believe this.
Dwight Clark and Guy Mclntyre standing on the 50-yard line right now? This is epic.
Congratulations on your victory.
Thank you.
You know, you're on your way to being the champ.
- Right? - Yeah! I mean, you guys know a little bit about that, right? [laughter.]
How is it being around Chef Ramsay? - Oh, my God, I mean - He's extremely intense.
- He is.
- I get yelled at every five minutes about something.
You can't take that personal, 'cause it just means they see potential.
They love you, and they're pushing you - to be the best you can be.
- Aw.
He's just preparing you for the real world.
That is some of the best advice.
Yeah, that really is.
(Jared) With this kind of motivation, I really feel like the person winning Hell's Kitchen could be me.
Oh, baby.
- Whoo! - There you go! Whoo! - What! - (Jared) Very nice.
(narrator) While Jared and Kristin take some passes from football legends, back in Hell's Kitchen, the other three chefs are wishing they could take a pass on trash day.
This is disgusting.
(Ashley) Ugh, meat.
(Ariel) Oh, no.
I don't like football.
And I don't like Jared very much.
But I don't like garbage, either.
(Ashley) Eww! Jared! Aah, you're so dead to me, bro, it's not even funny.
(Ashley) I hate you, Jared.
I don't give a [bleep.]
about you.
Don't speak to me, don't look at me, nothing.
(Ariel) Oh, look, it's Jared.
No, this one has a spine.
- It's not Jared.
- Oh, yeah, that one has a backbone.
Definitely ain't here, give me the other one.
- [laughs.]
- This is Jared.
[laughs.]
(narrator) While Ashley trash-talks Jared, he attempts to further his relationship with Kristin.
- This is beautiful.
- This is a gorgeous restaurant.
Thank you.
(man) Enjoy dinner.
- Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
- Are you? It's so nice to be out with somebody else that's not - Amanda, Dannie, and - [laughs.]
I'm really glad that I got to come on this reward because I want to take the effort to get to know Jared a little bit more.
You and Ashley have been just, like, stuck together like glue this whole competition, and I think that's closed off other people - about you.
- It has, but now you got your first little insight - of who I actually am.
- That's really important - we're one team now.
- Right.
(Jared) I know Ashley already, I don't know these other girls, so I need to understand how they work so I can work well with them in the kitchen seamlessly.
Everybody thinks I'm just, like, head over hells for Ashley.
Would you vote Ashley in at the end of the day - if, like, she deserved it? - Yeah.
If Ashley deserves to be put up for elimination, I'm gonna absolutely vote her in Perfect.
Because when it's business time, it's business time.
That's the important thing.
- You gotta be real, right? - Yeah.
- To winning.
- To winning.
(narrator) After spending the day getting a little closer to Kristin - So that was a great time.
- Yeah, it was pretty epic.
(narrator) Jared returns to Hell's Kitchen not knowing what awaits him.
[tense music.]
[sighs.]
You are officially [bleep.]
dead to me.
Everybody, dead to me.
We are not friends.
[dramatic music.]
I am so furious.
Like, I could break his neck.
And I wanna know why he chose Kristin.
I have been the only [bleep.]
person in this house that has been your friend.
I genuinely thought Kristin would enjoy football more than you would.
What do you think I do on Sundays? [bleep.]
play with myself all [bleep.]
day? It has nothing to do with football, Jared.
You're trying to be [bleep.]
sneaky again.
- No, I'm not.
- Yeah, you are, dude.
(Ashley) I'm so hurt he chose somebody else when it was a perfect opportunity for us, as friends, to be able to hang out outside of here.
You have officially lost the only friend you have.
Ashley, I didn't think you'd be this upset.
You're so full of [bleep.]
, dude, you're just trying to save your own ass.
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) After returning from an amazing day in San Francisco (Ashley) You have officially lost the only [bleep.]
friend you had.
Ashley, I didn't think you'd be this upset.
(narrator) Jared is under fire from Ashley for playing the field.
You're so full of [bleep.]
, dude.
You're just trying to save your own ass.
(Jared) Ashley's my best friend here and she's the only person I can trust.
She's the only person that likes me.
I should have taken Ashley.
Can I talk to you for a minute? Ashley, I never meant to hurt you.
It's too late.
I wanna [bleep.]
wring your neck.
So do it.
I'm serious.
Oh, man.
[sighs.]
I'm sorry I hurt you.
- [sighs.]
- I'm sorry.
Best drama queen in a reality show goes to Ash it's been hard.
Jared.
I did not mean to hurt you.
It's really bad.
I'll leave you alone.
[somber music.]
Come here.
I'm sorry.
[sighs.]
(Ariel) Everywhere we go People wanna know Who we are So we tell them This is the Black Team The mighty, mighty Black Team - How are we looking? - We're looking good.
(narrator) With yesterday's drama behind them We like to have garlic on every station.
Yeah, white wine on every station.

Who is it? Of course I'm talking about our sous chefs.

I'm more nervous about her being at the chef's table than anything else.
Tonight, each one of you will have the most amazing opportunity to stand alongside me and become my sous chef.

Why would you do that? What cortex of your brain told you that was a good [bleep.]
idea? (Gordon) Dress two New York strips.

[dramatic music.]
(narrator) It's over 40 minutes into the chefs first dinner service in black jackets.
(Gordon) God, almighty, why, why, why why? (narrator) And Jared's performance on the fish station so far has Chef Ramsey dumbfounded.
My jaw's on the floor.
I cannot quite believe what I'm experiencing.
It's [bleep.]
raw.
[dramatic music.]
- Can you wake up? - Yes, chef! Oh, dude, Jared, come on, man.
All right, I'm putting these snappers back in the pizza oven.
- Heard! - Jared is painful to watch.
I might as well just kick you off the station altogether and do it myself.
Snapper walking! Where do you want it? - Right here? - Yeah, just sit.
Quick.
(narrator) With some help from Kristin, Jared's re-fired snapper - (Gordon) Go.
- (narrator) makes its way to the dining room.
It's hot.
Ha-ha.
Why? (narrator) And now, it's time for his next test.
- Jared, on the hot plate? - Yes, chef! (Jared) I'm really trying to turn the night around by being at the pass.
Because, at the pass is what I do everyday at work.
Just like Chef Ramsay does.
On order, entree, four New York strip.
(Jared) Manda, yes? Why is she not talking? (Jared) Manda, how long on strips? Not there yet.
Ye yes? Manda, yes? - Amanda, talk to him! - Yes! Yes! Behind! Got those? I'm just praying, like, please don't [bleep.]
me over on this.
Hey.
- (Jared) Manda! - Yes? It's blue! [bleep.]
blue.
I'm telling you it wasn't ready ready! Manda, nobody heard you say it wasn't ready.
Get it ready.
I wanna finish this table.
Yes, chef! Sorry, chef.
Yes, chef.
Sorry, chef.
Yes, chef, sorry.
- More ship walking! - Walking, chef, with the sauce.
Nice.
Fries on there, put them there.
(narrator) With Manda's steaks leaving the kitchen and pleasing patrons - Fantastic.
- Good job, Jared.
- Thank you.
- Manda! - Yes, chef? - Let's go.
(narrator) It's time for her to step up to the plate.
So you're now on the hot plate.
- Yes, chef.
- Okay.
We got two New York strip, one char here.
- Yes, chef.
- That's it, yeah.
(Manda) I need to prove myself to these guys.
There is no way in hell I am messing up this next ticket.
All right.
I need one char, one strip.
Can we do that? Yeah.
- She can drive her team.
- Yeah.
And she's vocal.
Should be four minutes on char and strip, yes? - About four and a half.
- Four and a half, heard.
You've got to be quicker than this.
- Yes, chef.
- You've got to be - much quicker than this.
- Yes, chef.
Amanda, she's a fighter, but I feel like her confidence is a fake confidence, and at this point, we really can't fake it till you make it.
New York strip? Walkin' with strip.
Heard, right here! (Jared) Walking char.
Thank you! I have no idea how this goes.
This goes right here? That's it, you just place it on the plate, and just go 'round.
Come on, let's go.
Service.
- Thank you, chef.
- This is good.
(narrator) With Manda's turn as sous chef a success - Kristin? - Yes, chef? Swap places, the window, please.
Let's go.
- Watch the snapper.
- Heard.
(narrator) It's time for Kristin to show what she can do, working alongside Chef Ramsay at the pass.
Fine, now, four New York strip, two snapper, fire.
Yes, chef.
Four New York strip, two snapper, fire.
Being put in the sous position is great.
I can't wait to prove that I know what I'm doing.
- How long do you need? - Kristin, I'm ready.
(Kristin) Manda? - Manda? - Yes, chef? You're not even paying attention to what the [bleep.]
is going on.
- I need your head in the game.
- Yes, chef.
- How long on your New Yorks? - New Yorks are ready! I'm walking with garnish on your left, chef.
Walking New York strip! Walking char, right side.
[bleep.]
no.
This is insane.
Take it back to her, please.
- Heard.
Manda? - What? - It's under.
- How much? Oh, wow.
Hurry up, Amanda.
We are competing to be the head chef at BLT Steak.
Not BLT Chicken.
Not BLT Fish.
BLT Steak.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, oh hey.
All of you, come in here.
Uh-oh.
This cannot be good.
All of you, get in here.
I'm getting pissed off.
- Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Do we take over? I'll take fish if you wanna take meat.
Yeah.
(narrator) It's more than an hour and a half into dinner service, and Manda's repeatedly under-cooked meat Manda? It's under.
It's under.
(narrator) Has pushed Chef Ramsay to the bitter edge of his patience.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, all of you, come in here.
Uh-oh.
This cannot be good.
All of you, get in here.
I'm getting pissed off.
- What jacket are you wearing? - Black jackets, chef.
Black jacket.
Look at this.
Look at the sear.
It's under-cooked.
Hey, let me tell you something.
Here.
it's not going to burn you, hold it.
I swear to God, when you walk through those doors, get a grip! (all) Yes, chef.
You need to sear both sides, hit the fat cab.
- This is what I pulled okay.
- And then baste.
Baste it at the end to heat it through.
- I know.
Yes, I understand.
- Let's just get going.
- I need you to focus.
- I am.
Everyone focused? All right, focus.
(Kristin) We need to change this dinner service around like, yesterday.
The fat lady has not sung yet.
Let's keep it real, here.
Keep them in the pan.
They're good.
Walking New York strip! Good.
Well done.
Last table.
Arctic Char, one wellie how long? Minute and a half! Char, two minutes! Kristin is stepping up in a really big way.
On a on a really big night.
Garnish, do you have anything for me? All right, Manda, I'm running all the garnish in the window.
- How long? - Right after you.
- Walking char.
- Wellie's walking! I swear to God, this is [bleep.]
so painful.
This is short and it's raw.
- He comes to you.
- I know.
- It's under-cooked.
- Don't baste it.
Char's getting sent back, snapper's getting sent back, scallop's getting sent back.
I mean over this kid.
Out of the way, leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it.
Hey, all of you, all of you, come here a minute.
Let's go to the chef's table, and just do one little thing.
Just apologize.
I'll cook the last table.
Oh, God.
What the [bleep.]
? We're supposed to be looking good here, and that's not a good look.
- Chefs, we're really - We just want to apologize.
We're really sorry about our performance tonight.
Chef is cooking the last table for us.
Did I say enough? Do we even have to say anything? (all) No, chef.
And my apologies, you two, who should've been the better service, [bleep.]
dismal.
I don't get it.
I really don't [bleep.]
get it.
That was one of the worst black jacket performances ever in the history of Hell's Kitchen.
For the first time tonight, do one thing as a team, decide on the one person that does not belong in the final four.
- Is that clear? - (all) Yes, chef.
Now, get out of here.
Tonight was embarrassing.
We have black jackets on.
This should not even remotely be happening.
I'm so irritated right now.
We need to figure out which station went down the worst.
Hands down, I'm gonna say meat station went down the worst.
That's who I think as well.
If you don't know how to sear a steak, let someone know.
Most of my steaks that went out, like, were [bleep.]
perfect.
Come on.
What service was that? 'Cause the one that I was in, all your ser all your steaks were [bleep.]
up.
You were [bleep.]
them up! No, not all of them! Baffled, bro.
[bleep.]
baffled.
I [bleep.]
cook a steak.
I would nominate Jared.
I know I'm a [bleep.]
stronger everything than Jared is.
I don't think the small errors I made are enough to put me up.
What about the cold [bleep.]
lobster tail? Right off the bat.
What about the snappers? Tomorrow will be a more successful service with me there than Amanda.
What happens if Ashley stops talking to you again tonight? - Oh my God.
- [bleep.]
it.
No, not [bleep.]
it.
You weren't mentally prepared.
Jared, you've checked out, I think you've given up on yourself, you've given up on the fight, why the [bleep.]
are you here? Good job, girls, you've finally used that lump three feet above your [bleep.]
ass.
I was frustrated last night, and I let it carry over today.
You're in a [bleep.]
black jacket, you don't say that [bleep.]
, I can't trust you if you're saying that [bleep.]
.
But I showed hustle all night.
It's not good enough! 'Cause you [bleep.]
up today.
I barely [bleep.]
up today! You barely [bleep.]
up, and you did [bleep.]
up.
You [bleep.]
up today.
You [bleep.]
up today.
Send them both home.
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) After a surprisingly bad dinner service, a disappointed Chef Ramsay tasked the final five with nominating one chef for elimination.
Black Jackets, have you reached a decision? (all) Yes, chef.
Kristen, who have you decided should not be in the final four? Jared, chef.
Jared.
Why? Jared failed pretty heavily on the fish station tonight, and then, we all feel that Jared has mentally checked out.
Wow.
Jared, step forward, please.
Jared, you've been on this incredible journey, how much did this competition mean to you? This competition means a lot to me, chef.
I came here with little expectations, 'cause I didn't know how well I was gonna do, and then when I started seeing myself flourish, it gave me something to drive for.
I'm not giving up.
Do you know what? I wanna hear from somebody else.
- Manda, step forward.
- Yes, chef.
Ahem.
Tonight wasn't your best performance.
This should have been a great night, and the fact that it wasn't makes me so angry, like I can't even I can't even put it into words.
This is really hard.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is Manda.
Take off your jacket, please.
Yes, chef.
- Let me tell you something.
- Yes.
- And listen carefully.
- Absolutely.
You are a feisty, determined, very passionate young lady.
- Do not give up.
- I absolutely will not.
I've learned more than I've learned in 30 years of life.
I mean, this meant more to me than anything that you'll ever even understand.
- I can see it.
- Thank you so much.
- Bye-bye.
- Guys, good luck.
Have fun.
Do awesome.
Thank you.
Walking into Hell's Kitchen, I didn't think I was gonna make it past the first week.
(Gordon) It's not bad, but it's a little bit weird.
I'm a little bit weird.
(Manda) I was not confident in myself at all.
(Gordon) Did you taste that risotto? I yes.
Are you serious? It's like you don't care.
(Manda) Bad things happen.
You wanna speak to me, you say, Frank! - Frank! - Do me a favor.
Get out! Are you [bleep.]
kidding me? (Manda) But then great things happen, too.
That's some very solid form.
Brilliant - Good job! - Hell yeah, we'll take this chick on our team.
(Manda) Did some things while I was here that I would've never have been able to do any other time in my life.
So awesome.
- Whoo! - Ah, yeah! How long on wellies? (Manda) You can make it in Hell's Kitchen, you can make it absolutely anywhere.
Frank! Enough with the attitude! And I've grown throughout this competition.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
(Manda) I can't wait to go home and show my kids this new and improved mommy.
Jack, Dylan, Audrey, mommy is coming home.
Get ready.
Jared, I know how much you care, and how much this competition means to you.
Unfortunately, I can't let you continue because you are not as strong as the three ladies standing behind you.
- Give your jacket, please.
- Yes, chef.
You've got a great mind.
You've been a great competitor.
- And the day will come.
- Thank you, chef.
- Stay in it.
- Yes, chef.
- Good job.
- Pleasure.
Take care.
(Jared) From that first moment I came to Hell's Kitchen, I was confident.
You're a poker player.
What do you think I'm going to say? - Four? - Four out of five.
(Jared) Right out of the gate, I showed that I'm strong.
Jared, great confident, strong performance.
Thank you.
(Jared) But I had my fair share of bumps along the way.
The chicken is raw! Jared! Get out! (Jared) One of the best things about being on Hell's Kitchen, was becoming friends with Ashley.
- Ohh! - Blast away! Oh! (Jared) Yeah, we had our fight, but Ashley and I were just genuine friends.
- I'm here for you.
- Thank you.
Yeah, BT! (Jared) It's been a hell of a journey.
- Whoo! - To the Blue Team win.
(Jared) I may not be the executive chef of BLT Steak, but I'm leaving here with my head held very high.
Ashley, Ariel, and Kristin.
The competition is wide open.
And how you perform from here on in will determine who will become the next winner of Hell's Kitchen.
- Is that clear? - (all) Yes, chef.
Good luck.
Get out of here.
- Yes, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
Thank you, chef.
Top three.
It doesn't get much realer than this.
All I know, is that I'm going to be standing there at the end, and I am that much closer right now.
I am two people away from winning this whole thing! I've been dreaming of this since I was 17 years old.
I can taste victory.
It is right around the corner.
The competition is still not over.
Like, I still can't relax.
There's still two other people that need to be eliminated.
And I have what it takes to win.
(Gordon) I can't deny Manda's passion, nor Jared's commitment.
But it was painfully obvious that they just couldn't measure up to my final three.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen Here are the final three! (narrator) With the grand prize looming The cash-ay! I want it to be you and me so bad.
I know! (narrator) Will two chefs conspire to take our their competition? Ariel's a [bleep.]
monster.
You can save that news, bitch.
(narrator) But end up turning on each other? I'm not gonna go down without a fight.
No! Kristin, why? That is some [bleep.]
right there, bro.
What the [bleep.]
is going on? (narrator) Who will ultimately take the fall? Look at me.
You can't just screw her.
There's nowhere to hide.
You shouldn't be here.
(narrator) It's all next time.
- What's the matter? - Yes! I'm so happy right now.
(narrator) On the diabolical (Ariel) I don't really expect my line cooks to sabotage me.
(narrator) And double-crossing episode.
I'm in complete and utter shock.
[bleep.]
you, Ariel and Kristin.
(narrator) of Hell's Kitchen.
