Hell's Kitchen (2005) s16e09 Episode Script

Spoon Fed

1 (male narrator) Previously on Hell's Kitchen Get it, girl.
I'm pretty good on my feet, so I'm hoping it's a dance challenge.
(narrator) The reconfigured teams learned they would cook for the International Ballroom Invitational.
Your time starts now.
Let's go, six stunning entrees.
(narrator) In a tasting menu challenge, new Blue Team member Wendy impressed the judges with her al pastor style chicken.
The taste is really nice, and the combination's great.
This is resurrected phoenix, on fire Wendy.
(narrator) But Kimberly's miso sea bass and Asian vegetables They're absolutely excellent.
I'm gonna come back to the restaurant and have this.
(narrator) And Ryan's Indian-inspired pan-seared fillet - Wow, that's really lovely.
- That is excellent.
(narrator) Clinched the victory for the Red Team.
- Good job, guys.
- Yes, whoo-hoo! (narrator) Prior to dinner service, even though Shaina pestered Johnny, he refused to sear the sea bass in advance.
We don't rest any of our fish over here.
The sea bass? You sure? We do all our fish like that.
(narrator) At dinner service, Ryan and Kimberly Have these fillets been back on at all? I know how to do meat.
I got it.
(narrator) Battled on the meat station.
Talk as a team and not down to me.
You are not my boss, thank you.
Kim, let me help you or else we're all gonna go down.
(narrator) But in spite of that, the new Red Team had their best dinner service yet.
- Beautifully cooked.
- Thank you, chef.
(narrator) In the Blue kitchen What do you need with the risottos, - capellinis or carbonaras? - I'm not even sure.
(narrator) Paulie and Wendy's confusion on appetizers You're not organized.
You're just dumping [bleep.]
on top of [bleep.]
on top of [bleep.]
.
(narrator) And Johnny's failure on the sea bass We've always seared.
Normal service, we do it.
(narrator) Created chaos in the kitchen.
- I was holding.
- I told him.
I told him to sear the fish.
I told him, I told him, I told him.
(narrator) And when Devin delivered raw chicken Hey, Blue Team, store room now! (narrator) Chef Ramsay knew it was time for him to say [bleep.]
off.
The Red Team's gonna finish your service.
(narrator) During deliberation, Johnny once again decided that his best defense was to go on the offense.
I think it should be Wendy and Devin.
What am I supposed to do when you guys are telling me That's fine, [bleep.]
give up.
She's already said, "Put me up.
" I'm frustrated.
I did not say I gave up! You didn't say you gave up.
You said, "Put me up.
" I did not! (narrator) At elimination Blue Team, have you reached a consensus? No, Chef, we have not.
(narrator) The Blue Team somehow ended up with three nominees instead of two.
- My God.
- Paulie, Johnny, Wendy.
- (narrator) In the end it was - Johnny.
(narrator) Who could not dodge the bullet this time and had to say good-bye to his dream of becoming head chef at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
And now, the continuation of "Hell's Kitchen.
" - Blue Team, [bleep.]
off.
- Yes, Chef.
- Red Team, thank you.
- You're welcome, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good night.
I'm so pissed right now.
I cannot believe that [bleep.]
, bro.
Yo, 'cause you know they let him fail, bro, 'cause all the [bleep.]
was standing right in the kitchen when he she said, "Sear off the fish," you know, and they said nothing to him.
I know, but this isn't your fight right now.
I know, bro, but it's, like, it's [bleep.]
up though.
It's not your fight.
Chef Ramsay's not looking for a jerk to win this competition.
It doesn't matter how funny or how rude you can be.
It's pretty much putting your cooking skills where your mouth is, and unfortunately, we saw Johnny's cooking skills were not up to par.
I don't understand.
You guys are on the other team.
You guys are all, like, crying for Johnny.
Let's call it what it is.
He didn't do the right thing to save himself.
I'm not over there.
I don't know what the [bleep.]
happened with you guys.
Don't speculate on things you can't speak on, you know what I mean because you weren't there.
I lost my boy too, but my man was [bleep.]
up left and right today.
He's my I'm the closest one to him.
["Fire" by Ohio Players.]
Oh! (Gordon) Hurry up! Fire, ugh - [screams.]
- The way you walk and talk (Gordon) Scallops.
Where are they? Really sets me off to a full alarm, child [evil laughter.]
Oh! (Gordon) Come on, guys, please! When you're hot you're hot [both scream.]
You really shoot your shot You're dyn-o-mite, child (Gordon) Get out! Yeah The way you squeeze and tease Knocks me to my knees (Gordon) Where's the bass? 'Cause I'm smoking, baby, baby [slo-mo yell.]
Well, I can tell by your game (Gordon) Hey, hey, hey.
Come here, you.
Come here! You're gonna start a flame (Gordon) It's just mistake after mistake after mistake! Love, baby, baby - Whoo! (Gordon) It's just raw! Raw! Fire, yeah (Gordon) Pathetic.
- Fire That's what I said, child [dramatic music.]
Rise and shine.
- Good morning.
- All: Good morning, Chef.
(Koop) I see the big, black curtain, and the only thing I can think of, really, is do we have visitors? The single most important quality that every great chef has, palate.
That is why this is the one challenge that I bring back year after year.
This is the 16th annual blind taste test.
- Yeah.
- That's right.
(Devin) My palate's not good.
Oh, looking forward to the blind taste test so I can humiliate myself.
Now, today's taste test is gonna be especially difficult because I'll be taking away texture as you try to locate the flavor that's in baby food.
- Oh, God.
- [bleep.]
.
Oh, no.
There is one more tiny little adjustment this year.
Oh, God.
- I called it.
- No.
- Oh, God.
- [bleep.]
.
Oh, my God.
We have huge highchairs, and then I look down, and there's this spoon catapult.
We are gonna have food flung at us on a huge tasting spoon.
No, no, no.
Each of you will have a turn in the highchair.
Yikes.
If you get two answers correct out of four, your teammate sitting in the high chair stays clean.
Now, if you get three wrong, you're gonna be catapulted with a baby food puree.
If you get four wrong, your teammate - gets splattered again.
- Oh.
I'm black.
Don't touch my hair with nothing.
O-M-G, now you're telling me I got to climb my big behind up in a highchair? I don't want to be splattered.
That's it.
Now, Blue Team, because you have one less chef, you decide amongst yourselves who goes twice, first and last.
I'll do it.
You guys good with that? So Blue Team, who's going first and last? Wow, Wendy, love the confidence.
Right, let's start, Heidi versus Wendy.
Step forward.
Let's go.
Taking the chair, Andrew for the Red and Shaina for the Blue Team.
Let's go.
Is that thing reinforced? Jump in.
God.
Oh.
Blindfolds on, ladies.
(narrator) In this baby food edition of Chef Ramsay's legendary Blind Taste Test Challenge Heidi, can you hear me? Wakey wakey.
(narrator) Each chef must identify four different pureed ingredients.
Let's start off with something easy, carrot.
(narrator) The team with the most correct answers wins the challenge.
I feel ridiculous as Chef feeds me baby food, which is a whole 'nother level of weird.
Turnip? - What? - Wrong.
[bleep.]
.
- It's a carrot, Chef.
- Well done.
Yes, I freaking got this.
Onion.
Mmm.
It tastes like a roasted onion, Chef.
- Well done.
- Come on, Heidi.
Parsnip? - Damn it.
- Wrong.
- [bleep.]
.
- Is she mad at me? I do not want to get covered in baby food, Heidi.
Please get the next two right, please.
Potato.
- It's potato, Chef.
- Yes! Wendy has the best palate on our team.
She's killing it out of the gate.
- Potato.
- Oh, God.
Well done.
Peach.
Mmm, delicious.
Peaches, Chef.
- Oh, my God, Heidi, please.
- Peaches.
Oh! Thank God.
Good job, four for four.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Oh, good job.
- Swap down, let's go.
- Thank God.
(narrator) With the Blue Team off to an early lead, Devin and Kimberly step up to taste while Wendy and Heidi take their positions in the highchairs.
Green beans.
- Oop, mmm.
- [laughter.]
- Uh, turnip, Chef? - Wrong.
[bleep.]
.
- Green bean? - Yeah! - Yeah! - Well done.
Bacon.
Easy, this one.
Uh, black beans, Chef? You're from the [bleep.]
South.
How do you not know bacon? Bro, snap out of this.
You're 0-2.
- Wrong.
- [bleep.]
.
- Come on, Kimberly.
- Oh, no.
- Bacon? - Yeah! - Well done.
- Devin, what the [bleep.]
? We had a good lead going into the second person, and now Devin [bleep.]
our lead big time.
It's four to four, guys.
Mango, come on.
Wendy, stand by.
(narrator) If Devin guesses anything other than mango, Wendy will be splattered.
- Mango, Chef? - Wow.
Well done.
Mango? - Yeah! - Yeah.
Well done.
Delicious avocado.
Come on.
Avocado, it's a freaking avocado.
Please, for the love of God, say avocado.
Come on, Devin.
- Um - Say avocado! I want to go with turnip, Chef.
All: Oh.
He doesn't say avocado, not at all.
It's time.
Let it fly.
Oh! [laughter.]
Oh.
I looked over there at her, and just her face Wow.
[laughter.]
I got her good.
Sorry.
Let's see if Kimberly gets four for four.
- Banana? - Damn.
(narrator) After a strong performance by Kimberly, she and Devin now take their turn in the highchairs, and Ryan and Koop are the next to have their palates tested.
- My God.
- We're tied five to five with a mushroom puree.
Mmm.
I feel like I have this.
This is my challenge.
I have a great palate.
Bring it on.
- Asparagus? - Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Pork? - Pork? Mmm.
Bell pepper? Onion? Beets.
Kimberly, stand by.
- Parsnip? - No.
- Peas? - Oh, dear.
[laughter.]
Wrong.
(narrator) With one ingredient left in this round, Devin is in danger of wearing some baby food, and Kimberly is in danger of wearing even more baby food.
Please, please, please, please.
- Apple? - [sighs.]
- Apples.
- Yes! - [sighs.]
- Well done.
Ryan, look at the mess of Kimberly.
Sorry, Kim.
I have squash everywhere.
It's cold.
It's wet.
It's slimy, and I smell.
(narrator) It's now Matt and Paulie's turn to test their palates.
- Easy, tomato.
- Airplane.
Green beans? - Apricot? - Way off.
(narrator) Paulie and Matt remain evenly matched through the sweet potato puree.
- Both: Sweet potato.
- Yeah! (narrator) But when they taste the peas Peas.
Green beans? (narrator) They split.
Wrong.
Ryan, stand by.
- I don't want a shower.
- Pineapple.
- Mmm.
- Pineapple.
- Yeah! - Yeah! - Well done, headsets off.
- Good job, Matty.
10-8.
(narrator) With the Red Team trailing by two, Heather and Shaina face off.
Asparagus, delicious.
(narrator) Identifying ingredients quickly and confidently.
- Both: Asparagus.
- Yeah.
- Both: Banana.
- Yeah.
Apples? - Peaches? - Oh.
Broccoli.
Mmm, delicious.
Shaina's face.
Chef, did you just put [bleep.]
in my mouth? What the hell is this? Is this steak? Steak? Wrong.
- Broccoli? - Yeah! - Whoo! - Well done.
Headsets off.
- Yeah.
- Last round.
(narrator) With the Blue Team having a tiny lead, the Red Team's hopes are with Andrew, who is facing off against Wendy, who was perfect in round one.
Strawberries.
Mmm.
Wendy got four for four the first time.
I ain't got nothing to worry about right now.
- Strawberry? - Yes.
Yeah.
I want to say it's apricot.
- Oh.
- Wrong.
Okay, we're tied.
We're tied.
Eggplant.
- It tastes like steak.
- Oh, my God.
- Wrong.
- Huh.
Come on, Wendy.
You did so well in the first round.
Yams, Chef? (Wendy) There aren't excuses, but the baby food smell reeking off of me is wreaking havoc with my ability to tell what this stuff is.
Mmm, cauliflower.
Let's go.
It tastes like, uh asparagus? Asparagus? Wrong.
I know.
Cauliflower.
- Yeah! - Yes.
Well done.
13-12, and it all comes down to this, fennel.
If Andrew gets this wrong, Blue win and Heather gets coated.
[dramatic music.]
Uh [baby coos.]
(narrator) It's the final round of this baby food edition of the Blind Taste Test Challenge.
The Blue Team leads by one as Andrew and Wendy prepare to identify the final ingredient.
Fennel.
If Andrew gets this wrong, Blue win.
- Oh, man.
- Come on.
- Fennel? - Yeah! Oh, yes, he got it.
Well done.
13-13.
If Wendy gets this right, Blue win.
If she gets it wrong, Shaina gets splattered, and we go to sudden death.
Turnip? - Oh! - [laughter.]
Oh, my God, big splash.
I mean, 1,000 times, you couldn't have got a better shot.
[bleep.]
.
All in her face.
Now we're tied.
Now we have to go to sudden death.
- You got this, Wendy.
- Cabbage.
(narrator) In this sudden death round, Wendy and Andrew will continue tasting until only one them is able to correctly identify the ingredient.
- Uh, mushrooms? - Oh, my God.
[all groan.]
I hate him.
Green bean? Ah, here it comes.
[laughter.]
- Wow.
- Damn.
This tastes so nasty.
Turnips.
Mmm.
- Corn? - Oh, my God.
Andrew [bleep.]
sucks.
This for the Blue Team to win.
That's a turnip, Chef.
- Yeah! - Yes! Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Well done! - Yay! - Wendy! - Well done.
Good work, girl.
Yes! Oh, my God.
Extra point, touchdown, goal, all of that.
This is me, and I just won this challenge.
What the [bleep.]
? I'm such an idiot.
Good job.
Blue Team, well done.
Give yourselves a round of applause, amazing.
Wendy, wow, you have the palate of the day.
Thank you, Chef.
Blue Team, you are in for an amazing treat.
After that performance in the taste test, I'm gonna pamper all your senses because all of you, you're in for a day of luxury and relaxation with a personal massage to ease the tension in a stunning penthouse suite at the InterContinental Hotel.
Spa day! The girls on the Red Team have been begging for this reward since we got here, and now we get to get it.
Ha, ha.
(Gordon) Enjoy yourselves.
Come back focused.
- Head to the dorm, get changed.
- All: Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
Red Team, whilst the Blue are having an amazing afternoon of pampering, yours will be anything but because here today in Hell's Kitchen is D-day, - Matt, which means? - Delivery, Chef.
That's right, in truckloads, let me tell you.
Every time you hear the horn, run outside and unload all the merchandise.
In between each delivery ensure that both kitchens are fully set up ahead of tonight's service.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yeah? A lot of work to do.
- Off you go.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Do not hurt yourselves.
- Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
(Heather) I have so much [bleep.]
on me.
Heather, I'm really sad that you got covered in baby food, but actually, baby food looks pretty good on you.
I feel bad we didn't win it.
I felt like it was on my shoulders.
I could have won it, and I didn't.
You want to lick it off? Maybe if you had it somewhere else.
[playful music.]
Gross.
You're lucky I like you.
[upbeat music.]
- Welcome.
- Oh! [bleep.]
! - Nice.
- Very good.
That's very nice.
Oh, yeah, let's get something to eat.
- Let's eat.
- Go.
Oh, that looks like Buffalo wings Yeah And go.
Nice.
Oh, the suite is appropriately named 'cause it was freaking sweet.
Wow.
It's better than being in the kitchen, - I tell you that much.
- That's what you call a view.
Just to be able to stand by the door and see all of California, this is truly a reward.
Thank you, Chef.
To solid food.
- Heard.
- To solid food.
- To solid food.
- I'm ready to get rubbed down.
- [horn honks.]
- Oh, we got to go.
Ah! Let's go.
[chuckles.]
Well, today is D-day, and it doesn't stand for a boob size.
- 40 boxes? - Yeah.
It's [bleep.]
delivery day.
Fine, let's go.
- Grab.
- Two at a time.
I could do more if I could see.
This loss is definitely on me.
I had a chance to win it for the team, and I missed.
There you go.
And I'm gonna take the brunt of this punishment on myself and carry and lift as much [bleep.]
as I can.
- Can I fit through the door? - Six, seven, eight, nine.
I think Andrew wants to be perfect.
Can we open the other side? But he's not.
[violins playing.]
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
I can feel it melting away.
Oh, my God.
Oh, she's getting every knot.
Wait a minute, don't forget my feet.
[relaxing music.]
Oh, yeah.
Oh, this is enjoyment right here.
O-M-G, that is amazing.
- [horn honks.]
- Come on, come on, come on.
Aw, man, I'm getting sick of this [bleep.]
, man.
[grunts.]
Oh, my God.
Matty, ice, get all the ice.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, God.
- [groans.]
It's a [bleep.]
ton of ice.
If we had a forklift.
All right, let's go.
Let's get it done as fast as we can.
I feel like I'm going to a keg party.
The faster it gets off the truck, the faster we move on to the next part.
- Whoopsie.
- Oh, down.
- It's okay.
- One more, one more.
Are you kidding me? You beast.
(Ryan) And hey, guess what? Ice is not the lightest thing on Earth.
Matt, don't carry so many.
- Easy, Hulk, jeez.
- Careful.
[hurried music.]
(Andrew) There's so much ice.
- I'm losing them.
- [laughs.]
Did you guys grab a invoice or - Matt, did you grab an invoice? - No.
'Cause we're just supposed to have about 52 bags, so let's count 52.
One, two, three, four, five.
[mumbling.]
- 102.
- How many? [bleep.]
.
We have 102, guys.
- We have 102? - Yeah.
- And we only needed 52? - Yeah.
- Damn.
- Oh, Lord.
Please don't make us carry this back out to the truck.
- Send the rest back.
- Unbelievable.
What? It wasn't my fault.
I wanted to stab somebody.
You got to be [bleep.]
kidding me.
(narrator) After losing today's blind taste test, the Red Team has had a back-breaking day of unloading deliveries - 102.
- We have 102? - Yeah.
- And we only needed 52? Yeah.
(narrator) Made even worse by their lack of attention to detail.
You didn't check the [bleep.]
invoice.
It's only 52 bags.
- Send the rest back.
- Damn.
What? It wasn't my fault.
You guys didn't grab the invoice from the driver.
Oh, Lord.
- Come on, guys.
Hurry up.
- Yes, Chef.
Oh, my God.
Why didn't you check the invoice, Matt? [bleep.]
that, yo.
That's stupid.
They say, "Unload the ice.
" I get up there, and we start unloading it.
It's not my fault.
You know what? I needed the workout.
I'm looking so hot.
What's up, Heather? - [chuckles.]
Come on.
- Guys, let's go.
[dramatic music.]
[happy music.]
Whoo! Hello, ladies.
- Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
- Looking good.
- Nice robes, luckies.
- Don't get too comfortable.
Y'all gonna be wearing that [bleep.]
home tonight.
[laughs.]
(narrator) While the Blue wanders back to the dorms I could go for a power nap.
(narrator) The Red Team is focused on prep, feeling good about tonight's dinner service Better start getting my blood pumping.
(narrator) And themselves.
I look so [bleep.]
buff today.
Look at this [bleep.]
.
Every time I sit in that kitchen, it just pumps my adrenaline.
See what you did? See what you did? - You got me on my hawk mode.
- [laughter.]
I'm cooking all day, and that gets me going, but when you're going to spas and relaxing and getting massaged, you [bleep.]
up.
I think the difference between the Red and the Blue Team right now is the Red is confident in every team member - while the Blue Team is not.
- I heard that.
- Hey, Chef? - Yes? You know, I really just want to know, like, what is it that you think that I really need to work on? What do you need to work on? How long have you got? I haven't got that time.
Now, [bleep.]
off in the kitchen - and give me five minutes.
- Yes, Chef.
I'm so sick of listening to Paulie.
He's always up Chef Ramsay's [bleep.]
.
"Oh, Chef, how good is this?" "Chef, is this better than last time?" "Chef, please, let me lick your [bleep.]
".
"I'm Paulie.
I love you.
" - Marino? - Si, Chef? Open Hell's Kitchen please.
Let's go.
Subito.
[dramatic music.]

I will do the beef Wellington.

All right.
The red team is blowing at this point.
Everything is just moving, and we are just pushing full steam ahead.
Two loup de mer and two lamb.
It said one lamb though.
Can you double check if it's one lamb or two lamb? - Andrew, check that.
- I got you, give me one second.
Let me get this creamed spinach out.
I don't really have a sec.
Two loup de mer and two lamb is the next check.
I don't have another lamb.
That's what I was trying to say.
What is he saying? What do you need? He only has one lamb.
He doesn't have two.
(Gordon) Two loup de mer, two lamb, yes? All: Yes, Chef.
- Chef, one question.
- Go on, hurry up.
I'm busy! - I'm gonna rush that lamb on that next check.
We're down a lamb.
- We're down a lamb? - For that next check.
- What? Come here, you.
- Yes, Chef.
Why are we down a lamb? 'Cause you're doing garnish.
I want to know from the man cooking it.
Chef, it was just heard one lamb, - and that's what I have.
- So you forgot it? No, Chef, I have one lamb sitting up top of there.
- I was told one lamb.
- Next table's two loup de mer, two lamb.

Every time we open this kitchen I ask you to put one lamb extra in front.
- Which I have.
- You have? So then you've got it then, two lamb? Chef, no, I have one lamb, is what I'm telling you.

Do you know why it's easy for you? 'Cause you don't [bleep.]
care.
(narrator) It's an hour into dinner service, and after an excellent start for both teams - Come here, you.
- Yes, Chef.
Why are we down a lamb? (narrator) Chef Ramsay is trying to unravel the mystery of Matt's missing lamb.
I called out two lamb.

I know it's easy for you, but it's not easy for me.
Do you know why it's easy for you? - 'Cause you don't [bleep.]

Okay, so if you forget, then man up and say, "Chef", - "I forgot to put it in.

(narrator) The Blue Team is counting on Koop on fish and Paulie on meat to continue what has so far been a great service.
Get this [bleep.]

We know how to do this.

Last time I was on fish it was a disaster, and it put me up for elimination, so tonight's my redemption.

(narrator) With Paulie and Koop recovering on their stations, entrees are once again going out to the dining room.

(narrator) Meanwhile, back in the Red kitchen, Chef Ramsay has a question for Matt.

- Two minutes to the window.
Two minutes to the win you go two minutes to the window? - Yeah, yeah.
- All right, let's go.
Two minutes to the window, Chef.
Chef Ramsay always puts me on the hardest spots 'cause he don't want this thing to be easy for me, and I understand.
It doesn't do nothing but make me better.
He will not break me.
Two sea bass, two Wellies? - To the window.

Yes, Chef, heard, yes.
- Hey, Blue Team? - Yes, Chef? Can somebody explain to Koop that you don't cook sea bass and salmon, a white fish and an oily fish, - in the same pan? - [bleep.]
.
That's like cooking lamb and New York strip - in the same pan.
- Sorry, Chef.
What the [bleep.]

- Look at me.
Look at me.

Thanks, guys, you just screwed me.
You just sent me home, guys.
You just sent me home because you screwed me on the time.
I asked for two minutes.

I asked for two minutes, and you guys couldn't give me two minutes.
I asked for two minutes.
That's what I asked for, two minutes.
- Shut the [bleep.]
up.
- I know, I know.
Hey, hey, Blue Team.
Blue Team! - Yes, Chef? - Yes, Chef? That's not two minutes away, okay? FYI.

.
You eat it.
Now, all of you, [bleep.]

(narrator) It's nearly two hours into service, and after a strong start That's not two minutes away.
(narrator) A string of mistakes topped with Paulie's raw lamb It's nonstop.
(narrator) Has pushed Chef Ramsay to pull the plug.
Out, out, out, out, and out, 'cause you think I'm gonna serve that [bleep.]
.
You eat it.
Now, all of you, [bleep.]

Yes, Chef.
Back to the dorms to nominate somebody once again on the Blue Team.
Hey.
Hey, hey, are you serious? The entire team have given up, and for the last 30 minutes there's no team effort.
There's no fight back.
There's no passion.
Halfway through, we switched off, and you've been trying all night? I have been trying all night, Chef.
I have not given up.
Right, okay, so what do you want? I want to stay here! Yeah, well, do you know what I want you to do? Eat that [bleep.]
, then come back down and tell me how [bleep.]
good it was.
Bon appétit! (narrator) While the Blue chefs are told to eat their mistakes, Chef Ramsay pressures the Red Team for perfection.
One loup de mer, one bass, two Wellington, yes? - Yes, Chef.
- Matt, Matt, listen to me.
Three minutes, we're gonna walk on two strips, okay? - Okay, heard, I got that.
- All right.
- I got that.
- Loup de mer? One minute, Chef.
The Blue Team just got kicked out of the kitchen, and this is the last check.
Make sure it's absolutely perfect.
Red Team's gonna win this one.
All right, I'm walking on strip garnish now.
Sending New York first, okay? Let's go.
Sea bass, Heidi? - Coming right now, Chef.
- Coming through, coming through, hot.

Ready to walk on two strips and two bass, right? (Matt) I'm ready on the New York right now, Chef.
Push it, guys, push it.
Just drive it.
(Gordon) Service, please.
- Wow.
- Wow.
[bleep.]
.
Why the [bleep.]
can't we [bleep.]
do this? [bleep.]
.
Koop, settle down.
You're breaking the [bleep.]
chairs.
Grow the [bleep.]
up.
Why don't you check yourself and realize that you and Paulie both deserve to go up? Where did we get lost, at communication? - The six top.
- Koop, you were not communicating.
I asked him for more time and he put up the [bleep.]
sea bass.
But it's all It's a collective thing.
- Sure, but I'm - I should have kept talking.
I'm talking, I'm talking, I'm talking, and he's just pushing [bleep.]
up.
Why you putting up those two sea bass? How many [bleep.]
times did you call five minutes? Koop, you [bleep.]
up all day today.
You [bleep.]
up all day.
You're going up there no matter what.
So the [bleep.]
are you! You think that these three aren't gonna put us both the [bleep.]
up? Paulie [bleep.]
us royal.
We looked like [bleep.]
idiots.
You're full of [bleep.]
, man.
Then you come back here breaking [bleep.]
.
I don't understand what that [bleep.]
is about.
Paulie, you're lucky that was a just a chair and not your [bleep.]
face off of the fireplace, you little piece of [bleep.]
.
I'm not a stupid man, Koop.
You had an agenda, and you're letting people fail.
You got what you wanted now, Koop.
Koop is a piece of [bleep.]
.
I swear to God, I'm starting to see his game.
He's trying to get rid of his competition.
I don't trust this kid.
He's just very slimy.
Well, think whatever the [bleep.]
you want.
That's fine.
If I'm asking for more time and you're putting [bleep.]
up, why are you doing that? So you can look good.
You [bleep.]
me.
You know you did.
- You [bleep.]
us all [bleep.]
.
- Get the [bleep.]
You [bleep.]
us all because you don't know how long it takes to cook lamb.
You want to keep fighting and pushing this [bleep.]
on me? - Yup.
Yup.
- You're so weak.
It's ridiculous.
You're the weakest one.
Argue with Chef Ramsay as to why I'm there.
(Paulie) You're the weakest one, bro.
You die on every station.
[indistinct arguing.]
(narrator) In a service where both kitchens started off strong, the Red Team survived while the Blue Team imploded and now must reveal the two nominees for elimination.
I thought that tonight was gonna be the night that it was gonna be smooth.
Red Team, you were far from perfect, let's get that right, but you did manage to finish service.
Blue Team, have you reached a consensus? - All: Yes, Chef.
- Devin, Blue Team's first nominee and why.
First nominee is Paulie, Chef.
I mean, from the very first Wellington that came back cold to the lamb that was raw, it was a bad dinner service for him.
Second nominee and why.
Second nomination was Koop, Chef.
Fish station just could not keep up.
Paulie, Koop, step forward.
Paulie, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I want to be here.
I keep fighting and always giving you 100%.
You know when you look in my eyes I'm always trying my hardest.
I deserve to be here.
Koop, why should you stay over Paulie? Chef, I should stay here because I think I've garnered more respect by my team than Paulie has, and I think that without Paulie here we'll have more accurate times.
I think we'll be faster.
I think we'll be better with myself over Paulie.
How do you rate your performance tonight? I think that my performance tonight should be a six or a seven.
It could have been much, much better.
How would you rate Paulie's performance? Five out of ten.
Five? What is it with you two? Paulie thinks that I have something out for him.
- Really? - Yes, Chef.
Chef, I asked him for more time.
I was begging him for more time, and as soon as I asked him for five minutes, he pushed the sea bass up to say, "Hey", I got my stuff up here.
Where's yours?" And then when we get back to the back he's smashing chairs and irate, can't control his anger.
I don't think that that's somebody who's a leader or a team player.
- Koop, is this true? - Yeah, I did.
I killed a chair in the back.
I don't feel good about that, but I am not gonna tank anybody because I treat this just like a job, Chef, and I am so pissed off that we can't do this.
I can't [bleep.]
stand that.
I feel like a [bleep.]
idiot standing up here because we can't complete dinner service, and then I get accused of sandbagging somebody but yet all I want to do is finish.
Tough one, this one, because you both sucked, and you both butted heads, and you both wouldn't listen.
My decision is [suspenseful music.]
Paulie.
Back in line.
Koop, get here.
The longer you've stayed in this competition, the more I realized that you are not backing up the talking.
You're not ready.
Thank you for the opportunity, Chef.
- Thank you, Koop.
- Thank you.
Good night.
(Koop) I'm pissed off right now.
Paulie definitely deserves to be out here.
Any time Paulie makes a mistake, it's not Paulie's fault.
He thinks he's much better than he is.
I'm tired of listening to people say how good they are when they're not.
[bleep.]
you, Paulie, you [bleep.]
little ingrate piece of [bleep.]
Napoleon complex [bleep.]
.
- Paulie.
- Yes, Chef? You're on thin ice, and I'm watching every move you make.
- Is that clear? - Yes, Chef.
- Blue Team, get out of here.
- Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Red Team, stay where you are.
Red Team, you know what's coming next.
The Blue Team is now down two chefs.
You need to decide amongst yourselves who's got it in them to get them turned around.
I want your answer in the morning.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Good night.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Good night, Chef.
At this point in time, nobody's comfortable going to the Blue Team.
There's too much brokenness to that team that I don't even know if it's fixable.
I don't want to go to the Blue Team, but red, blue, or black, I'm gonna kick ass no matter where I'm at.
I'm gonna put up a hell of a fight to stay on the Red Team.
The claws are coming out.
I just hope I'm not the one going to the Blue Team.
(Gordon) Like many chefs, Koop could talk the talk, but after witnessing his cooking, I told him to walk the walk.
(narrator) Next time on "Hell's Kitchen" Don't let your ego get in the way, Matt.
I don't give a [bleep.]
what my team thinks.
(narrator) When one chef thinks he's top dog Hearing what you You shut your [bleep.]
trap for one minute and just listen! I'm a chef for a reason.
I'm not here to get critiqued by somebody that don't know what the [bleep.]
they're talking about.
(narrator) Will he bite off more than he can chew? I don't even [bleep.]
care [indistinct.]
[bleep.]
hit me.
- I don't give a [bleep.]
.
- You shut the [bleep.]
up! Hey, stop! (narrator) And when he bares his fangs at Chef Ramsay Hey, young man.
(narrator) Will he be muzzled for good? Put it on the [bleep.]
tray.
My patience is running out.
[bleep.]
off.
(narrator) Next time on a dog-eat-dog Why the hell are you not helping me out? Go ahead.
Go ahead.
- Come at me.
- I go meat, fish, meat, fish.
So you're blaming me 'cause lobsters got overcooked? (Andrew) Hey, shut up! (narrator) Episode of "Hell's Kitchen.
