19x07 - A Pair of Aces

[bunniefuu]

Male narrator: Previously

on hell's kitchen...

Marc:

We got to start from scratch.

Narrator: Marc tried

to put his issues

with the blue team behind him.

I want to work well

with you guys.

I'm over arguing

with the blue team.

That turned the house

against me.

Narrator: In the morning,

both teams found

something to celebrate...

-It's my birthday.

-Happy birthday!

Narrator: And their challenge

started on a high note.

Yeah!

Narrator: The chefs first

unleashed some energy.

(rock music)

♪ lobster ravioli, yeah

narrator: And then they had to

modernize an italian classic.

-Mary lou: Biggest side first?

-Yep.

Mary lou: It's good

when you can see

your fingers underneath.

Who's [bleep] risotto is this?

It's burned.

Narrator: And while lauren

and amber rocked out...

-Beautiful.

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Narrator: Jordan...

Jon:

My risotto's undercooked.

Thank you, chefs.

Narrator: Syann...

I'm judging you

on tortellini.

There isn't any there.

Narrator: And josh...

-It's too dense.

-Yeah.

Narrator: All fell flat.

Josh: That's how my birthday's

gonna start today?

Narrator: In dinner service,

josh was lost on garnish...

Ramsay: All of you,

taste the mash.

-Adam: Salt, salt, salt.

-Ramsay: Bland, bland.

Narrator: And amber drowned

on the fish station.

Look, raw.

Come on, amber.

What's happening?

I know you can do

better than this.

I know how to cook salmon.

Narrator:

Over in the red kitchen...

Oh, jordan,

[bleep] hell, man.

(tense music)

I do not get it.

Narrator: Jordan's scallops

took a wallop.

Tough, tough, tough it up.

Narrator: And the meat statin

had its share of issues.

Ramsay: And the lamb,

that might as well

be back in the field.

-Mary lou?

-Yes, chef?

Ramsay: Drive it.

Let's go.

Yes, chef.

Yes, chef.

Narrator: But mary lou

came to the rescue

and led her kitchen

to victory.

-Ramsay: Mary lou?

-Mary lou: Yes, chef?

-Ramsay: Nicely cooked.

Mary lou:

I'm so [bleep] proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

You were an awes--

oh, don't hug me

in front of chef.

Don't hug me in front of chef.

Don't touch me.

Ooh, ooh.

Narrator: So the blue team

nominated...

-Adam: Amber.

-Narrator: And...

Adam: Josh.

Narrator: Before chef ramsay

eliminated...

Josh.

Narrator: Ending his dream

of becoming head chef

at hell's kitchen lake tahoe.

(dramatic music)

and now the continuation

of hell's kitchen.

Now it's time

to emerge as leaders.

-Got it?

-All: Yes, chef.

-Good night.

-Cody: Good night, chef.

Declan: Thank you, chef.

Amber: That's awful.

I never want to disappoint

chef ramsay,

and my team threw my name

in the hat

because they think

I'm a big threat.

Nobody wants to be

in the final two

with somebody who they feel

is stronger than them.

It's so [bleep] up.

So I just need to keep my eye

on the prize.

Wanna go in the hot tub

with me?

Oh, god, yeah,

let's go in the hot tub.

Let's all get weird.

Mary lou: All right,

let's go get in the hot tub.

Mary's getting naked.

Amber:

I don't know how to relax,

but if you're doing

back massages,

I bet you

I can learn real quick.

Syann:

All right, cody.

Sorry, I gotta get

in here for--

she just went

through elimination.

Cody: Holy [bleep],

I see the light.

Amber: Oh, she's good

with her hands.

I like it.

I like it.

That's 'cause she's been

a lesbian before.

She's right about that.

What, because you used

to be a lesbian?

Syann:

Uh-huh.

I don't know how somebody

used to be.

It's just you ain't

found another chick

-you want to [bleep] with.

-Yeah.

It's all about the fingers.

(whispers)

spirit fingers.

Ooh, I see ass.

Hello.

She's, like, wearing a thong.

You better watch out.

Cody's on the loose.

Lauren:

Today was a stressful day.

We made it through.

We're still here, so,

hell yeah, we're celebrating.

This one over here,

big booty judy.

Syann:

How y'all doing?

(laughs)

syann: Can I--can I get

your number?

Can I--can I cook for you

on Wednesday nights?

Hell yeah.

Cody: Oh, my god.

All right, I gotta go

check my blood pressure.

I'm gonna be out back.

[bleep], lord in heaven.

Whoo!

-ramsay: Right, good morning.

-All: Good morning, chef.

Las vegas is now one

of the culinary capitals

-in the world, yes?

-All: Yes, chef.

Ramsay:

And surf and turf

has been a vegas staple

for decades,

but today it has evolved.

Great chefs

have been reinventing

that dish for years,

and that is what today's

challenge is all about.

(sweeping music)

♪■

syann: I love surf and turf:

Lobster, shrimp, scallops,

a little piece of steak.

I'm getting hungry.

Sorry.

(laughs)

ramsay: But you're not gonna

be cooking a surf and turf.

You're gonna be tasting it.

Oh, [bleep], I'm allergic.

Great.

I'm allergic

to shellfish.

Holy [bleep].

Ramsay: Each team

will compete one at a time,

and you'll be paired

in groups of two.

When I say go, first team

will taste the dish,

run into the dining room,

find those proteins, run back,

and place them

next to the dish.

If both proteins are wrong,

the lights will turn red.

(buzzer buzzes)

if the proteins are right,

the light will turn green.

(bell chimes)

but if you get one

right and one wrong,

the light will turn blue.

The team that identifies

all six proteins the fastest

wins the challenge.

Red team, you won

dinner service last night,

so you're up first.

Jordan:

This is gonna be fun.

Ramsay:

Blue team, head to the patio.

Both: Yes, chef.

-First pair, step up, please.

-Jordan: Let's go, ladies.

Mary lou: All right.

Come on, girls.

Ramsay:

On your mark, set, go.

Narrator:

In today's challenge,

chef ramsay

has disguised several proteis

to look like traditional

surf and turf dishes.

Come on, ladies!

Narrator: Each pair must

correctly identify

both proteins

used to make the dish.

-Nikki: Catfish, guys, catfish.

-Lauren: Nuh-uh.

Nikki:

Looks like it.

When we pull off that dome,

I see fried chicken.

I see clams.

Chicken and clams.

It's really that easy.

I'll get the chicken.

Mary lou:

It doesn't work, throw it away.

We pick another one.

Marc: Okay, ladies, I see you,

but we gon' beat you today.

Ramsay: Now, you have to come

Cody:

Let's do this, baby.

Nikki: As the clock ticks down,

the pressure's

a little bit higher.

Cody and marc, blue team,

you're first up.

In position, please.

Nikki: I'm hoping that that

gets to the blue team's head.

On your mark, get set, go.

Let's go.

Narrator: With the clock

ticking down

from the red team's time,

-Cody: And chicken, chef.

(buzzer buzzes)

ramsay:

You have nothing right.

Cody:

Told you, bro.

Adam: Go, run.

I think I was half right.

You had one right before.

-Work it out.

-Declan: Beef.

Amber: No, I already

took that one, declan.

Bison is right.

Declan is so scatterbrained

that he's picking up

the same protein boards.

Cody: Is that--you

already had that.

-You already had that, declan.

-Ramsay: (laughs)

declan: So dungeness crab.

No, you already took

that one.

This guy's just all over, man.

-Grab something.

-Let's go back.

I'm gonna taste it.

[bleep] it.

We're not getting anywhere.

I need to taste the shellfish,

even if it might k*ll me.

-Declan: It's a [bleep] crab.

-Amber: It's not the crab.

Right away, I know.

Tastes like lobster.

Cody:

What's down in front?

It's lobster.

Declan:

Lobster and bison.

-Ramsay: Okay, let's go.

Three minutes.

Adam: I think it's venison.

I think it's venison.

Declan: I think it's venison.

What's the whitefish?

It wasn't catfish.

Was it dirty?

-Adam: It was halibut.

-Declan: Okay, let's go.

-Adam: Let's go.

-Declan: Back in hot.

Adam: Venison and halibut.

(buzzer buzzes)

ramsay: Zero.

Come on, guys.

Three minutes to go.

Come on.

Declan: (breathing heavily)

This is more like

an endurance challenge.

Codfish.

Come on, fish.

Adam: Cod for sure.

Come on!

I'm an old man

with a bad knee.

-Goat, cod.

-(buzzer buzzes)

nope.

Nikki: I'm stressed.

It is down to the wire.

They are on their last plate.

-Amber: Go, run!

-Bring the snapper back.

I have yelled

snapper seven times,

and it's not like I'm just

like, "snapper, snapper."

I'm like, "snapper!"

let's go!

Bring it back!

-Amber: Go, run!

-Cody: Bring the snapper back!

Snapper or flounder,

many times I yelled snapper.

We should have won.

flowrider surfing experience.

Jordan: We're going surfing.

We're gonna hang ten.

Hell yeah.

Oh, blue team, damn.

You had it.

Cody:

That we did, chef.

Ramsay:

Right, while the ladies

are enjoying

some fun in the sun,

you're gonna suffer through

one shell of a punishment

because you will be shelling,

by hand, crab.

Oh, great.

I'm also allergic to crab.

This is awful.

You have to prepare

all the crab that

we need for tonight's menu.

Right, head to the patio.

Oh, boy, taken down

by a snapper.

Amber: I can't believe

there were mussels

in those clam shells.

Cody:

I was telling you guys, man.

We dropped the ball

on this one.

You gotta believe

in your team, bro.

Smoke?

Declan: (clears throat)

(sighs)

amber: Do you see

what's going on there?

Mm-hmm.

Amber:

Like, cody doesn't smoke.

What am I supposed to do?

Nothing.

You just do you.

[bleep] them.

It's not easy

to switch teams.

Amber: The blue team has such

a different mentality

for how to get through

all of this together.

Any chance somebody's not

looking and they can [bleep]

somebody over,

it's gonna happen.

If you guys are gonna

have team meetings,

you want to get everybody?

'cause--

we're not having

a team meeting.

I came out here

to smoke a cigarette.

Like, if it's gonna be, like,

let's play dirty, then fine.

-Cody: It's not that.

-Adam: Yeah, what is this--

we're talking about measuring

out the [bleep] crab cake.

I'm just saying, like,

all the girls just,

like, literally said

in front of marc and I, like,

"hey, you realize they just

said--like, cody said smoke

and cody doesn't smoke

and they left you two in here."

adam: I don't know why

you listen to the red team.

I really just want

to work as a team,

and I don't want any problems,

you know?

Declan: So don't be listening

to the girls.

They're putting

daggers into you.

Amber: It's really

uncomfortable switching teams,

and I'm just trying

to do the right thing.

But you're on the blue team

now, so chill.

- Amber: All right.

-Declan: Paranoia?

Adam:

So [bleep] annoying.

Amber is still, like, half

red team, half blue team.

She needs to understand

that if she wants to go far

in this competition,

she needs to be

fully blue team

or she's gonna get

pushed out all the way.

Let's go.

Declan: Everybody got

the crab cake recipe?

Adam: Yeah, you big,

beautiful beast.

Declan: (exhales sharply)

cody:

Well, well, well. [bleep].

Amber: Oh, my god.

Adam: Oh.

This [bleep] sucks.

Do not get a shell

in here, okay?

That's the last thing

we're gonna need.

-Cody: Yes, chef.

-Amber: Yes, chef.

Adam: Okay,

let's get it moving.

Crab city.

Marc: I've worked with crab

plenty of times in the past

but never this many crabs.

marc: You know,

Cody: Hands are gonna [bleep]

Get out of here.

Kori: I'm legit pissed off.

If that's how you guys

want to play the game,

b*tches, you all on your own.

I ain't got nothing

to prove to you

or anybody else

in this competition.

All I care about is showing

chef gordon ramsay

I'm gonna be

his next head chef.

Adam: I think everyone on the

red team is weak right now,

so I'm gonna kinda

just sit back,

get through my dinner services,

and just knock 'em off

one by one.

Jordan: I don't think

I deserved

to be up there tonight.

I don't think I was the worst

performing cook by any means.

Hopefully chef ramsay sees my

resilience and my perseverance

'cause I'm just not prepared

to go home yet.

I still have more things to do,

more things to show,

more things to prove.

Ramsay: Sy's winning

personality and determination

were enough to take her far,

but her lack of experience

made me say sy-onara.

narrator: Next time

on hell's kitchen...

-(phone rings)

-amber: Hello?

Ramsay: I need to see everybody

in the dining room immediately.

-Amber: Heard, chef.

-Marc: Adam, let's go.

Narrator: One surprise

phone call...

Ramsay: I have something

very important to tell you.

Narrator: Leads to an earth-

shattering announcement.

Tonight I'm closing

hell's kitchen.

Narrator: That rocks every

chef to their core.

Marc: I'm having a hard time

even breathing right now.

Lauren: Whoo!

Now it's a party.

Kori: I'll be damned if I don't

go down with a [bleep] fight.

Narrator: Tune in to see

who stumbles, who crumbles...

Well, I tried it once.

Yeah, but that

was different.

Narrator: And who survives.

Adam: Amber, do you need help?

No.

Yes--no.
