(narrator) The next morning at the ingredient crossword challenge.
Go.

Chicken? Chicken, yes, it's versatile, but it's also [bleep.]
boring.

- You have the (narrator) At times seemed lucky to get anything at all.
The Blue Team as a whole, they're dumb as rocks.
(narrator) The teams only cooked with the ingredients they spelled.
What are you making? Caramelized onions over steak, Worcestershire sauce.
That is an awful-sounding dish.
But I want him to go home.
(narrator) During judging, Andrew only scored Two out of five.
(narrator) While Devin shined with a Four out of five.
Good job, Chef.
In your face, Andrew.

(narrator) Had trouble cooking the kids' menu.
(Matt) You can't make a grilled cheese? That to me is just confusing.
(narrator) In the Red Kitchen, Aziza made garnish more complicated than necessary.
Aziza, this is not normal.

And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen Now piss off.
(all) Yes, Chef.
Thank you, Chef.
I think this is, like, the kind of things that give you the perspective that make you the champion.
Oh, my God.
That was [bleep.]
gut wrenching.
Sometimes it takes a little bit of humbling down, you know.
That black eye, it would be like, "Ooh", I'm not the toughest kid on the block.
" Dude, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna bounce back.
Oh, keep your legs there.
- It's like a good pillow.
- That's fine.
- It's keeping my toes warm.
- Oh, man, thanks.
Want me to take the bra off? I don't know what it is about Andrew.
I mean, he's funny, I can talk to him about anything.
Do your thing, boo.
(Heather) And it's hard to find genuine people who actually understand you and get your personality.
For who? - Us.
- Why? All we're doing is lying next to each other.
Me and Heather are friends, you know? We're out here enjoying the moment and she's a good girl, so, hey, am I gonna flirt with her a little bit? Maybe.
- - Mm-hmm.
Sorry.
Mine are squished.
Okay.
I get married in a couple months so it's probably not gonna be a strong relationship.
- Huh? - Huh? - Not right now.
- [bleep.]

Let's go, he said be ready.
What the hell? (both) Uh-oh.
- Quick.
- Oh, Lord.
Line up.
- Look at Marino.
- Marino.
Right, good morning.
(all) Good morning, Chef.
Talented artists are incredible.
Given the same tools and the same subject, four different artists will give you four different paintings, each with their own personal style.
Tony, show us what you've done.
- Wow, what? - Awesome.
- Wow, wow, wow.
- That is phenomenal.
- Wow.
- Damn.
(Gordon) Greg.
- Nice.
- Nice.
Kind of mad scientist-looking.
Totally digging the hair, Chef.
Let's see what Jess did.
(man) Wow.
- Awesome.
- Oh, cool.
- Oh, wow.
- That's amazing.
And there's one more gentleman who fancies himself as an artist.
(man) Here we go.
- Yeah.
- Whoo! Nice, huh? Get out of here, Marino, please.
[laughter.]
Thank you, Tony, Greg, Jess.
They're all fantastic.
Good to see you.
Thank you.
Good job.
Wow.
In many ways we, as chefs, are artists.
Our tools are our ingredients.
And our canvas is the plate, right? (all) Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) So, for today's challenge, we're gonna put that theory to the test.
- Awesome.
- Today all of you will be doing your own interpretation on Southern dishes.
Aaron, Andi, please.
(Devin) Man, I'm from the South.
I am very comfortable with Southern food.
(Gordon) Underneath these domes are the names of six classic Southern dishes.
Right now I'd like one chef from the Red and one chef from the Blue to stand behind each dome.
The person that you're standing next to is the person you're going to be cooking against.
(Heather) As fate would have it, Andrew's the only one that doesn't have a red coat behind him.
It's about that time to throw down with Andrew because he's talks a lot of [bleep.]
.
Right, let's see what you're cooking.
Matt and Ryan you're cooking Fried chicken, Chef.
I'm a Southern boy so I got this.
- Boy's from Baltimore.
- Koop and Heidi.
Shrimp.
(Gordon) Shaina, let's see.
- Hanger steak, Southern-style.
- Yeah.
- Paulie, Wendy.
- Catfish, Chef.
(Gordon) Catfish.
Andrew and Heather, let's see.
(both) Pork chop.
(Gordon) Kimberly and Devin, finally.
Trout, Chef.
- Everybody ready? - Yes, Chef.
Your 40 minutes starts now.
Off you go.
- Catfish.
- What have you got, chicken? Anyone see trout? (Kimberly) We have lost three challenges in a row, and it's just pissing me off.
I do not want to eat any more bugs.
Yeah, it's definitely quite nice, the texture.
Oh, my God.
I've had enough testicles in my mouth this entire trip to last me a lifetime.
I just really want to win today.
Have you ever fried catfish before? - In a deep fryer.
- How long does it usually take? You might need eight.
- Eight to ten, maybe? - Yeah.
Check it at six though, make sure it's okay.
(Wendy) I'm a little frightened.
I'm really not familiar with Southern cuisine.
I'm kind of a Yankee through and through, so I had no clue what to do with this fish.
Ten minutes gone.
30 minutes to go, yes? - Heard, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
(Gordon) Let's go.
Southern seasoning, Devin, what do you think? Go spicy? Yeah, yeah, give it a little bit of spice.
Right over a shredded mash with onions and peppers, eh? Mashed potatoes are definitely Southern.
Make sure they're garlic mashed though.
Garlic mashed, all right.
This challenge is designed for our Southern boy.
My grits are still mad hard.
I have time, right? - Are they stone ground? - Yeah.
They're gonna take the whole damn time.
But, yeah, you got time.
We got this.
I'm taking the biggest chance doing this than I have the whole time we've been here.
- Why, what are you doing? - Ceviche.
Ho.
(Koop) Everything's going really good.
All the mise en place was done.
Celery, celery, celery.
All I got to do is finish cutting this last celery stalk.
Ahhh! [bleep.]
.
- Do you need a medic? - Oh, yeah.
Hell, yeah.
What's happening, bud? Let me see it.
I cut my damn fingertip.
I'm starting to get light-headed.
He's right to the top of the nail bed.
(Gordon) What happened? Oh, I was chopping through my celery and ended up deciding to give myself a manicure.
- Doesn't feel great.
- Yeah.
[bleep.]
nightmare.
I have to put more pressure on this right now so you stop leaking.
You all right with that? Yeah, I'm just getting hot.
I just feel like I'm sweating more now sitting here.
Unreal.
Koop sliced his nail off.
- Oh, did he? - Chef, is he all right? You're starting to shake more.
Sit back for a little bit.
How we doing, bud? You good? - Koop.
- Come on.
Koop.
- Hey, look at me, hey.
- Koop? - Hey, Koop? - Koop.
Hey, Koop.
- Koop.
- Koop.
- Koop.
- Come on.
Koop.
- Hey, look at me.
- Koop.
- Hey, Koop.
- Koop.
Hey, Koop.
- [vomits.]
- Koop.
Koop? - You all right, bud? - Koop, you back with me? [coughs.]
Here you go, Koop.
Big deep breath.
- Can you talk to me? - Yeah.
- Where are you at right now? - Hell's Kitchen.
- What the [bleep.]
happened? - Don't worry.
Blood pressure's fine.
Just take your time, okay? - Take your time.
- Yes, Chef.
Good man.
All right, Blue Team, listen to me.
Koop's not gonna make it back.
However, there's still five of you.
Make five brilliant dishes, and if you beat the Red dishes, you're still gonna win.
- Yes, Chef.
- Start plating, guys.
- Coming down, hot.
- Five (woman) Come on ladies, he's counting down.
- Four, three, two - Ah.
(Gordon) One, and serve.
Let's go.
To help me judge today's challenge, I have brought in a very special, unique chef who really knows his Southern food.
His restaurant, Hot and Hot Fish Club is unique.
Wow.
From Birmingham, Alabama, Chris Hastings.
Good to see you.
- Thank you for having me.
- Welcome.
(Wendy) I know this guy knows his Southern cooking, and I'm worried about how Southern my dish is.
The best overall dish will also go on tonight's menu.
- Excited? - Yes, Chef.
- Hi, guys.
- Koop, how are you feeling? - Ready to work.
- Right.
Let's start off with the battle of the hanger steak, Johnny and Shaina.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay and Chef Hastings will judge the dishes head to head with the best of each pairing receiving a point.
The team that accrues the most points wins the challenge.
(Gordon) Johnny, please, describe to Chef.
Chef, today I have a spicy hanger steak over a bed of garlic hash with bell peppers and onions.
A little nondescript.
Doesn't have any zing.
A little bit too much blood on the plate.
You haven't let it rest.
Shaina, describe your dish, please.
I did a brown sugar rub on my hanger steak with classic collard greens and macaroni and cheese.
Sear is beautiful.
- Hanger steak's delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Spicy.
- Go Shaina.
That's a very good dish overall.
Thank you.
- Clearly, Shaina gets a one.
- Thank you, Chef.
(Gordon) Congratulations.
Point for the Red Team.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, Shaina.
Well, that's Johnny.
He's not the best.
Damn it.
Next up, the battle of the catfish.
Wendy, describe this, please, to Chef.
I made a spicy fried catfish with bacon pepper gravy, sautéed kale and then the fried red potatoes.
- Wow.
- Beautifully cooked.
Crispy.
Really like it.
Paulie, describe your dish, please, to Chef.
I have fish and grits with a little bit of cheddar cheese and manchego.
(Hastings) The catfish is cooked well.
It's crispy.
The grits, fantastic.
(Gordon) Two good dishes.
I'm not opposed to giving a one and one with this one.
Chef, I'm with you.
I think you both deserve a point.
- Good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Really good job.
- It feels awesome.
Paulie got his point too, but I got my point.
- Good job, Wendy.
- Good job, Wendy.
Next up, Matt and Ryan.
Battle of the fried chicken.
(narrator) Ryan's take on Southern fried chicken features creamy white cheddar grits and sautéed Swiss chard.
(Hastings) The chicken is cooked well and seasoned well.
I thought your grits were fantastic.
A lot of flavor.
Delicious.
(narrator) Matt has prepared corn flake-crusted Cajun fried chicken with gravy and collard greens on the side.
It kind of reminds me of a diner.
[muffled laughter.]
The entire plate's under seasoned.
There's no magic to it at all.
You just get bored eating it.
[bleep.]
Your dish though, Ryan, had a lot of flavor - and clearly the winner.
- All right, well done, Ryan.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
- Good job.
- This pisses me off, ya know.
He compared my food to a diner.
And let me tell you what, that [bleep.]
was disrespectful.
Obviously this guy don't really know Southern food.
Didn't have a country accent so I don't think he's even from the country.
[blows.]
Not even listening to it no more.
- Next up, battle of the shrimp.
- Flying solo.
(narrator) With Koop's sliced finger cutting him out of the challenge, Heidi is looking to score an easy point with her Southern shrimp featuring Cheddar polenta.
I sautéed the shrimp with a Tabasco garlic butter sauce.
(Hastings) Your shrimp is cooked properly.
It just doesn't jump off the plate at me and go, "Wow, that's amazing.
" I don't know that it's worthy of a point.
I'm underwhelmed.
Chef, no point? - No point.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
(Wendy) Really? Come on.
You do it by yourself and you couldn't even get a point.
Next up, battle of the pork, please.
- Get 'em, Drew.
- Andrew and Heather, let's go.
Andrew vs.
Heather, a lover's quarrel.
Pork edition.
[giggles.]
(Gordon) Please, describe your dish to Chef.
Fried green tomatoes, pan seared pork chop with a country-style gravy.
Love the fried green tomatoes, but the pork, unfortunately it is dry.
Andrew describe the dish, please.
It's a buttermilk-marinated pork chop with an apple fennel slaw on top.
Like the crust.
I like what the slaw brings to the table.
I thought it was very nice.
Chef, you have to decide between Heather's pork chop or Andrew's pork chop.
- I think Andrew's the winner.
- I agree with you.
- Thank you so much, Chef.
- Good job.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Heather, you know how good I am.
Why would you do this to yourself? Do you like losing? - Good job.
- Thanks, Boo.
Last dish, the battle of the trout.
Devin and Kimberly, let's go.
Come on, you're from the South, baby.
Show them how it's done.
(narrator) It's the final face-off, and with the women leading by one, Devin must take the round to keep the men in the game.
Devin, please, describe your dish.
I have black-eyed pea succotash with corn, bacon-fried okra, with a cornmeal trout and a roasted lemon on top.
Breading in the South is everywhere, but these are over-breaded.
Devin, that could be any fish in there.
Kimberly, describe your dish to Chef.
I did a corn flake and blue cornmeal encrusted trout with pecan and bourbon glaze, sweet potato fries.
Get it, girl.
Again, this dish is, for me, too sugary.
Fried food needs tart.
- And both of you, take your dishes back.
- Yes, Chef.
Chef, if you had to choose, which one would it be? Um Oh, come on, Devin.
You got this, buddy.
I don't know that I, in good conscience could give them a point.
So by default of that, I suppose now we have the Red Team coming away with the victory today.
(Gordon) Well done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- (Gordon) Red Team, good job.
- Thank you, God.
We are getting out of here, whoo! The best overall dish today Wendy, congratulations.
(all) Yes, Wendy.
There are not words for the joy in my heart because I think it exploded.
- Chef, as always.
- My pleasure.
I know you want to get back to the restaurant.
- I appreciate it.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
Good luck.
- Thank you.
(all) Thank you, Chef.
- Ladies, well, done.
- Thank you, Chef.
Wow.
You are in for a treat.
All of you ladies are going horseback riding.
- Yes.
- Oh, my God, yes! - Yes.
- Yes.
And for lunch I've arranged for one of the most popular food trucks from Los Angeles to drive all the way out there, Wings N' Waffles.
Southern-inspired soul food.
Amazing.
- Okay.
- Yes.
Come on, you don't want to keep the horses waiting.
Get out of here.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job, Wendy.
- Ah, Red Team, finally.
[sighs.]
For today's punishment, you're gonna be working on an incredible shrimp and grits appetizer.
Now, the grits, unfortunately they haven't been processed.
Oh, man.
You're going to be grinding thousands of tiny pieces of corn into grits.
- Time to get these to shine.
- They're there, Chef.
I'm good with that.
After that, you have to shell, de-vein and clean hundreds - and hundreds of shrimp.
- Oh.
Once that's done, I need both kitchens prepped ahead of tonight's service.
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
[horse whinnies.]
I cannot wait.
This is amazing.
- Oh, my God.
- Welcome to Gibson ranch.
- Thank you.
- Chef Ramsay wanted me to make cowgirls out of y'all.
- All right.
- Awesome.
(Wendy) I'm a country girl at heart and I've been in the city for too long.
Definitely the kick in the ass that I needed.
- I cannot wait.
- All right, ladies.
Put your hands forward, and give him a little kick.
We're gonna head out on the trail.
Oop, I think John wants to go first.
My horse was named Big John.
- Whoa, John.
- Oh.
Big John is named appropriately.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Ho, John.
Wendy is, like, really enjoying this horse ride.
Oh, ho, John.
There's a lot of jiggle going on.
Oh, oh, yeah, right there.
Yeah, I'm gonna feel it tonight.
We're not going that fast, Wendy.
Whoo! [jazzy music playing.]
It feels amazing.
I think she misses her husband a lot.
Easy.
(narrator) While Wendy's excitement for horseback riding continues, the men find that grinding grits is much less stimulating.
I'm sweating like I'm in [bleep.]
church out here, Chef.
We're hand-grinding grits.
They haven't done that [bleep.]
since the pilgrims came over.
- Is your finger all right? - Throbbing a little.
It hurts more now than it did when I cut it.
That burns.
This is a kick to the confidence.
- Koop, you all right? - I'm just pissed.
I can't calm down and I want to go back to the dorm and [bleep.]
cry.
- What? - I feel horrible.
Sorry, I'm all over the place.
- Koop.
- Great.
Don't do that, buddy.
We need you.
That's [bleep.]
.
I take exception to that.
Everybody cuts themselves.
You don't [bleep.]
just walk away and say, "Ah, that's it.
" You're not a man if you do that.
He's the next one out, bro.
He's mentally fragile.
I'm emotionally drained.
I truly am on that verge of not wanting to be here anymore.
We might be down a guy for service tonight.
- Why? - Koop's hurt.
He's the next one out, bro.
He's mentally fragile.
I really, really want to [bleep.]
finish this.
My mind is there, but my body is, like, [bleep.]
giving up on me.
Damn, Koop.
Are you good? (Andrew) Hey, let's just win this service for Koop - so nobody goes home, yeah? - Yeah.
There you go.
Done.
- Wings N' Waffles.
- Nice.
Whoo.
Listen, I grew up eating this stuff.
You can have the fine dining, I'll take the chicken and waffles, and the macaroni and cheese, and those collard greens any day.
- Yeah they are.
- Slap your mama good? It means it's so good I'd slap my mama for more.
- That's it.
- It's everything - I want right now.
- Mm-hmm.
- Who rocked it today? - Wendy! Whoo! You're cooking my food tonight.
I'm so stoked.
You all wanted to get rid of me yesterday.
You thought I was the weakest [bleep.]
link and whose dish are we making? Mine.
- Wendy, your dish.
- Featured dish of the day.
(all) Whoo! - Smells like redemption.
- Damn right.
I thought it was horse poop.
[whinnies.]
Nope.
[laughter.]
(woman) Yee ha.
(woman) Heidi, you have hay on your ass.
I'm sure I do.
(narrator) Back from a day of horsing around at the ranch, the women put on their chef's jackets and game faces All right, ladies.
Let's do this.
(narrator) Ready to prep for tonight's dinner service.
Ladies.
I'm not losing the [bleep.]
service.
- Shai, how are you feeling? - I'm good.
- Ladies, line up please.
- Yes, Chef.
Line up, line up, line up.
I've decided to include two unique Chef Tables again here in Hell's Kitchen.
In the Red Kitchen, one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
" - What? - No.
Adrienne Maloof is joining us for dinner.
- Wow.
- That's awesome.
(Ryan) I'm a very intelligent lady and I like to read, but "The Real Housewives" is one of my secret guilty pleasures.
Gentlemen, the Blue Kitchen, hmm, lucky you.
Shooting guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, J.
J.
Redick.
- What? - That's sick.
We had J.
J.
Redick which is pretty [bleep.]
awesome.
I know him from Duke and now he plays for the Clippers.
I was real excited to have him at our Chef's Table.
Now, tonight, another chance to bring your A-game.
- Is that clear? - Yes, Chef.
- Get on your stations.
- Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Marino.
- Si, Chef.
- Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
Subito.
First table's arriving, guys, yes? (narrator) Tonight, both kitchens are looking to bounce back from the Family Night disaster, and deliver to this full house of excited guests.
The Scallops, please.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay has added two Southern dishes to the menu.
Wendy's challenge-winning fried catfish.
(Wendy) Just want them crispy.
Beautiful.
(narrator) Along with a shrimp and grits appetizer served table-side by Devin for the men and Ryan for the women.
- Enjoy.
Good to see you both.
- Thank you.
Great game last night, by the way.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Brilliant.
(narrator) And with Los Angeles Clippers' player, J.
J.
Redick and Beverly Hills housewife, Adrienne Maloof dining at the Chef's Tables - Welcome.
Sit back and enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Good to see you.
- Thank you.
(narrator) There's extra pressure on the chefs tonight.
VIP Chef Table, let's go, guys.
In your kitchen, yes? - Yes, Chef.
- Two risotto.
- Heard.
- Let's go.
This is really cool.
I got risotto.
Matt and I decide he's gonna stick with the pasta.
I'm doing risotto and the pizzas.
Does anybody need help right now? I got this all worked out.
I know you're bored over there.
I'm not gonna stand here, bro, like, - it makes me look bad.
- What do you want to do, cook risotto together like little boys? - I mean, it's just like - Come on, brother.
Blah, blah, shut up, shut up.
- Risotto, where is it? - Walking risotto.
What's that? Very nice, that risotto.
(narrator) While Johnny shoots I could eat another bowl of this.
(narrator) And scores with his risotto, over in the Red Kitchen, Kimberly and Heidi are eager to get in the game.
(Gordon) Another order, four covers table 50 ladies, yes? One special at tableside, one kale salad, two carbonara.
- Yes, Chef.
- Carbonara is a bitch.
I have yet to [bleep.]
master it.
(woman) Countdown, how long? - Carbonara's walking.
- Carbonara going up.
Let's go.
Good.
I don't understand the standing.
[bleep.]
off.
What do you want, a medal, an email? Or what? [bleep.]
drop it off and piss off, yes? - You're busy, right? - Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Okay.
Good.
Nice.
Yes.
We have the carbonara going out.
We have everything flowing.
- Stunning risotto.
- Thank you.
We're shutting the guys out tonight.
We're gonna win this dinner service.
Keep it going, ladies.
Nicely cooked, those scallops.
(narrator) While both teams are off to one of their best starts pumping out flawless appetizers I think this is great.
Do you like it? It's delicious.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay is moving the Blue Kitchen on to their first Entrée.
Two catfish, two lamb.
- Heard, Chef.
- We can go in three minutes.
Catfish now, it's coming out.
I feel good.
You know, the fried catfish I feel like is a good dish as long as it's executed properly.
(Gordon) Lamb, catfish.
Lamb's walking right now, Chef.
(Andrew) I'm following behind you with two catfish.
Walking behind.
Walking behind.
- Come on, guys.
- I got it, I got it.
I want to make sure it's cooked.
- Wendy.
- Yes, Chef.
- Wendy.
- Yes, Chef.
- Who fried this? - I did, Chef.
Come here, all of you, because you all look at me as if I'm exaggerating sometimes.
Just touch it.
Is it soggy? Oh, God.
He fried it off way too early, and it sat and it went from beautiful crispy to a soggy [bleep.]
mess.
Andrew, you can't cook that in advance.
Yes, Chef.
I don't mind you getting crispy skin on salmon.
I don't mind the snapper.
I don't mind that.
But I do [bleep.]
mind when fish is fried and left to go soggy as [bleep.]
.
Yes, I do mind.
(narrator) It's an hour into dinner service and after delivering some very soggy catfish Catfish.
I have another one for you, Chef.
- Just hurry up! - Yep.
(narrator) Andrew is looking for some deep-fried redemption.
Walking up to you.
Now, all of you come here.
- Just touch that.
- It's beautiful.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
- Nice and crispy, Chef.
- There's no other way of - cooking it, and that is it.
- Yes, Chef.
(announcer) With Andrew's fish station and the rest of the Blue Kitchen back on track How did you enjoy your main courses? - Everything has been amazing.
- Amazing.
(narrator) Back in the Red Kitchen, the women are delivering on their entrees as well.
- Shaina.
- Yes, Chef.
- Beautifully cooked.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job, Shai.
- Nicely cooked.
Thank you, Chef.
Chef's Table, Red side.
Chef's table Red side, yes.
Ladies, VIP guests Chef's Table, be careful please, yes? Entrée, three sea bass one chicken.
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go, ladies.
I'm a little nervous about Shaina.
She hasn't been on a station by herself and Adrienne Maloof is five feet away from me.
We can't get this wrong.
Shai, how long? 30 seconds.
The sea bass is ready.
- Give me the sea bass.
- Yes, Chef.
We have to plate it, ladies.
Right here.
I'm ready to walk.
All right.
Walking with the chicken.
It's dry.
Ladies, Shaina, come over.
- Yes, Chef.
- Just touch it then.
- It's dry.
Yeah, that's dry.
- Yes, Chef.
Yeah, that's dry.
Didn't we just have a [bleep.]
chicken challenge? But then I remembered, Shaina [bleep.]
up her chicken in the challenge too.
Thank you.
(Gordon) Chicken, how long? Yours should be right up shortly.
Thank you.
Sorry, Chef.
[bleep.]
I'd like to eat when you all eat, but obviously that's not happening.
Oh, Shaina.
Hey, ladies.
I've got raw chicken.
Over-cooked.
Rubbery.
- Now I've got pink.
- Sorry, Chef.
I'm on the refire.
I got to honestly say I thought it was done.
I did not think it was raw.
I would never send raw chicken up.
That dry chicken, now the raw chicken is for Adrienne Maloof, our special guest on the Chef's Table.
- Okay, Chef.
- And she's not very happy.
It's taking so long.
And nor am [bleep.]
I.
Sorry, Chef.
(Heidi) Shai, come on.
Wake up.
This station is totally putting our momentum down.
It's hard to get back up right now.
Is it ready? Okay, let me go I'll go another minute.
Where is the chicken? That's all I want to know.
(Heidi) Adrienne Maloof has to wait, like, another ten minutes for the chicken.
I'm so embarrassed for the Red Team right now.
It's not a good thing.
The refire on that chicken, Chef.
- Nicely cooked.
Let's go.
- Come here.
You're taking this to her.
Which one is she? The one with no food in front of her.
I apologize.
I'm so sorry.
(narrator) With Shaina's third attempt on her VIP chicken - finally delivered - Worth the wait.
(narrator) And well received, back in the Blue Kitchen I have one minute out on the garnish.
One minute on garnish, thank you very much.
(narrator) The men are blazing through their entrees.
- You're speaking.
- There we go.
It's a reminder, and it's a call back, and it's a motivational thing, right? (all) Yes, Chef.
(narrator) Back in the Red Kitchen, Wendy is ready, aim, fryer on her catfish.
Two Wellington, catfish.
How long? All right, I got about three minutes - on the catfish.
- Heard.
My catfish dish is on the [bleep.]
menu.
This is my time to shine.
The pigtails are away, it's all [bleep.]
business.
- Catfish walks.
- Two Wellington next.
- There you go, Chef.
Sorry.
- Thank you.
[dramatic music.]
- Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Stop, stop.
- Stop, stop, stop, stop.
- [bleep.]
.
- I [bleep.]
it up.
- Wendy, how do you get an A+ rating from Chris Hastings Come here, come here.
And fail at dinner service? So the girls are starting to go downhill in my mind.
It's called Hell's Kitchen for a reason.
This is when I know things have gone absolutely [bleep.]
up, and we started strong.
We looked good.
Yes, Chef.
That's completely my bad.
It's my dish and I [bleep.]
it up.
I'll take full responsibility for it.
Really? I know it's your dish, but it's just not you.
Why have you given up? Where's the comeback? There's a [bleep.]
Chef's Table sat there looking at me like I'm an idiot.
(narrator) It's an hour and a half into dinner service.
Things have gone absolutely [bleep.]
up.
(narrator) And Wendy's inability to cook her own challenge-winning dish - That's completely my bad.
- But it's just not you.
Why have you given up? (narrator) has landed the red kitchen in hot water.
Where's the comeback? There's a [bleep.]
Chef's Table sat there looking at me like I'm an idiot.
You're not an idiot, Chef.
We are.
Sort it out! [bleep.]
.
Start talking.
I swear to [bleep.]
God.
I want you talking your [bleep.]
head off.
We're almost at a loss for words, and Heidi just [bleep.]
screams at the top of her lungs, "Communicate!" Once you hit that decibel, I don't listen.
Refiring.
- Yes.
- Two catfish.
(narrator) While the women regroup and refire If she's gonna give me attitude, I [bleep.]
swear [bleep.]
.
(narrator) Koop, on the meat station - Wellington.
- Wellington one minute, Chef.
(narrator) Is looking to deliver his first successful Wellingtons of the night.
Oh, [bleep.]
hell.
Koop, this is what we call crap in England.
Oh, [bleep.]
.
Hey, Blue Team, I waited, I waited and look.
It's just [bleep.]
fat's still white in the middle.
- Who's timing these? - That's me, Chef.
That's mine.
Koop's had a couple bad services in a row.
It's just that he's kind of skating by.
- Focus.
- Yes, Chef.
(narrator) While Koop tries to fix his Wellingtons, over in the red kitchen An order, two twos, ladies, let's go.
Entrée, two catfish, two Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
(narrator) The women are eager to show Chef Ramsay that their troubles are behind them.
- Kimberly.
- Yes, Chef.
- 41, desserts fire.
- Yes, Chef.
I got to drop this temp on this Wellington.
I got to pull it out and put it in your oven.
When desserts start being called, we drop the convection oven so we can start cooking off the cakes.
I need to put your Wellingtons in here for now.
- I'm dropping temp on the oven.
- Okay.
We just place everything else in the lower ovens, which everything's more easily accessible.
You got the Wellington? I'm walking up.
No, [bleep.]
.
Hey, ladies, let's have another conference.
So I'm a little bit miffed.
- Just touch that.
- The dough's raw, Chef.
- You can see it.
- That's raw.
That's still got white fat in there.
That's over-cooked and that bit there's raw as well, so My teammate messed this up.
She took me out the oven and had me somewhere where it's I'm just out there now.
Do you have two new ones? (Kimberly) Shaina, are you putting more Wellingtons in? Yeah, I'm putting more in.
I would have had those other two, but remember you had to take the temperature down.
Shaina, that's [bleep.]
.
We have one over-cooked, and the other one is raw.
That's not the oven.
- I'm over this now.
- I didn't take the temperature down, I took them right from that oven to that oven at the same temp.
No, I know because you had to turn the temperature down.
To be fair, we have been turning down the ovens for desserts, but also we've been a lot further through the entrees by the time we get to desserts.
- Kim.
- She needed to do desserts.
These are the most important things.
Drop one of those ovens down.
Don't drop this oven down.
You want to sit there and try to throw me under the bus because you can't [bleep.]
cook meat? [bleep.]
you, Shaina.
She's ready on refire.
- Are you ready? - Yep.
Garnish Wellington.
Wellington is up.
Two.
I think Shaina is overwhelmed and is over her head at this point.
There's no coming back from this.
- Catfish.
- Yes.
[tense music.]
- Ladies.
- Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
I swear to God.
Raw fat.
[bleep.]
Raw.
Cold.
Cold.
Ice cold and raw again.
- Get out! - I'm sorry, Chef.
I checked it.
I thought it was okay.
You checked it then you better get to LensCrafter.
Get out! Oh, my gosh.
(Gordon) That scares me even more.
I'm just devastated.
I'm pissed at myself.
I'm super scared because I know that they're ready to put me up.
I know.
I know in my heart that they want to get rid of me.
I'm done, dude.
(narrator) While the women take a walk of shame to the dorms I need to grab a water before I kill somebody.
(narrator) The men sense an opportunity.
They got booted.
Guys, they just got booted.
Let's go.
Everyone stay focused.
Uh, [bleep.]
, they just got kicked out, didn't they? Hm.
Maybe we won this one.
Happened for them to get kicked out of the kitchen.
That's how it feels, bitches.
Catfish now, it's coming out.
Catfish right here, Chef.
Finally.
Go, John, please.
Thank you.
Catfish is excellent.
It's crispy.
- Really, it's delicious.
- Excellent.
- Last table.
- This is it, boys, let's go.
This catfish is amazing.
- 30 seconds, Chef.
- It's so good.
Garnish rising right now.
It's really great.
- Walking Wellington.
- Keep it up, dude.
Service, please.
Bang, game over.
All right, well, who wants to start this? I'm gonna plead my case.
I don't think it should be me.
- Okay.
- I rocked out that [bleep.]
fish station all night up until the very end.
Why don't you just vote for your two? I think it should be Kimmy and Shai.
- Okay.
- She didn't show up in the [bleep.]
challenge today.
Her plate was a mess.
It's not the first time, and that Wellington did not need to be pulled.
Kim [bleep.]
everything with turning down that oven, and the weakest on the team is Shaina.
I go just for tonight's service, Wendy and Shai.
(Wendy) It's supposed to be overall.
It's not just tonight's service.
I'm basing it off both.
- Heather.
- Shaina and Wendy.
Between the Wellingtons and the catfish that came back at the end, that's what got us kicked out.
Okay, but Wendy, I mean, also had the best plate today.
Based on tonight, I'm gonna go with Shaina.
Kim, you're on the bottom in my head too.
I mean, I feel like we have a connection.
- Shaina.
- I want a cigarette.
(Shaina) If you're gonna say that I'm going up, I know it wasn't my fault.
I deliver.
Kim turned the oven down.
(Kimberly) Now everybody wants to put me up even though I didn't get anything sent back.
I don't deserve to go home.
I want to say one very important thing.
I had to start desserts.
We always have done this for a few weeks - I never said - Hold on.
- No, no, no.
- Let me finish talking.
No, but I'm telling you I'm not a conniving person.
So I'm stopping you because I'm not about to - argue with you about it.
- I don't give a [bleep.]
if you want to [bleep.]
argue with me.
I'm telling you I'm pissed off.
You tried to throw me under the bus, and it's not fair.
Listen to me, I didn't [bleep.]
throw you under the bus.
(narrator) After losing dinner service I had to start desserts.
We always have done this for three weeks.
- I never said No, no, no.
- Hold on.
Let me finish talking.
(narrator) Kimberly and Shaina continue to disagree about Wellingtons being moved from one oven to another.
I'm telling you I'm pissed off.
You tried to throw me under the bus, and it's not fair.
Listen to me, I didn't [bleep.]
throw you under the bus.
Then why did Chef Andi say something to me? Now I'm not gonna argue with you, so calm down.
[dramatic music.]
Wow.
What a shock.
- Heather.
- Yes, Chef.
Red Team's first nominee and why.
First nominee tonight is Shaina.
The meat station went down in flames tonight.
You had two Wellington come back and it was just a disaster.
Kim put my Wellingtons in the oven up under me, and the two that you got that were messed up, they were only messed up because they were in the oven up under me.
I would not take something that I didn't put in the oven and take it out.
Why would you do that? You understand what I'm saying? Why didn't you tell me it was wrong? I'm not gonna argue in the kitchen.
The last thing I want to do is you to come over and me and her are going at it.
I'm not gonna do that to you, Chef.
Why didn't you say, "No, don't do that?" I just told you why I wouldn't tell you, because I'm not gonna argue with you.
But everybody here thinks you Everybody here including the Blue Team can vouch for me.
Just take the consensus and see if she would have just sat quiet.
She keeps going, going, going.
But you never said anything.
- It was a mistake.
- I'm not gonna do it.
- So I'm good.
- I don't want to argue either, Shaina.
But I wasn't to blame for the [bleep.]
up.
Heather, Red Team's second nominee and why.
Red Team's second nominee tonight is Wendy.
She failed to put out her own dish and overall she gets flustered easily.
Wendy, Shaina, step forward.
Wendy, it was your night to shine.
I held down that station all night.
I was trying too hard to finish off the last two tickets of service and rushed myself and [bleep.]
myself.
Shaina, what happened tonight? Honestly speaking, you only came back with those Wellingtons that were in the oven.
It was the only thing I messed up.
- Heidi.
- I'm flabbergasted.
She had raw chicken.
She apparently forgot about that.
My decision is [dramatic music.]
Wendy, take off your jacket.
Your team, they have given up on you.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Wait, I haven't finished yet.
Shaina, take off your jacket.
After a night like tonight, I have to do something drastic.
So both of you say good-bye to your teammates because you're going in the Blue Team.
Matt, Andrew, get up and make way.
Wendy and Shaina, sit down, because you two are joining the Red Team.
Get over there And listen carefully.
I'm hoping the change of environment will really help bring you back to your earlier performances.
- Yes, Chef.
- Now, [bleep.]
off.
I'm so stoked to not have to deal with the [bleep.]
mean girls anymore.
I am going to come back with a vengeful vendetta.
I am going to personally try to slaughter them all.
It's nice to have Andrew come in.
We've spent a lot of time together.
We've gotten to know each other.
Of course feelings are there.
I can't even describe how happy I am right now.
I really feel like the Red Team lucked out.
I mean, I feel like they got Chris Bosh and LeBron James out of this deal.
I'm not saying I'm LeBron, but I'm taking my talents to the Red Team, so Red Team, ha ha, you can have them.
Glad they're gone.
Matt is hot tempered.
Andrew is loud and obnoxious.
The lightening is going to strike.
It's gonna be a full moon during dinner service, and that kitchen is going to blow the [bleep.]
up.
In Vegas, shuffling the deck gives a gambler a new chance for a better hand.
I'm hoping this switch doesn't end up being a bust.
(narrator) Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
Everything I say, you guys twist around.
(narrator) Will the shuffling of the teams Walking with two scallops.
You don't need to reexamine them.
Stevie Wonder knows they're [bleep.]
.
(narrator) Come back to haunt Chef Ramsay You don't just don't put [bleep.]
on top of [bleep.]
on top of [bleep.]
.
This is insane.
(narrator) Creating bitter feuds in both kitchens.
You're killing me on this.
She just let me go down? - Guys, Kim wants to do meat on her own.
- No.
(narrator) Things are about to get heated - What am I supposed to do? - I don't care.
Johnny wants to take the spotlight off of him.
So what are we gonna do? We're gonna kick the [bleep.]
girl.
- (narrator) And unhinged.
- I did not say I gave up.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen.
