[music playing]
NARRATOR: Previously,
on "Hell's Kitchen--"
You all just shut
or do it perfectly.
NARRATOR: --the red team lost
the first two dinner services
and two of its members.
The red team's
looking very small.
NARRATOR: So chef Ramsay
evened up the team.
Michael, you're
going to the red team.
NARRATOR: And in the
ensuing challenge--
Delicious.
NARRATOR: --the
results were immediate.
The winning team
is the red team.
NARRATOR: Despite the
win, Jeff's relations
with his red teammates
continued to deteriorate.
All right.
Don't f*cking
talk to me that way.
NARRATOR: At dinner
service, without Michael
in the blue kitchen, Ralph
emerged as a definitive leader.
Catalyst is done.
NARRATOR: But even
Ralph couldn't
control Andrew's mouth--
You know this big,
f*cking, fat mouth of yours?
It's getting you no where.
I'm just trying
to do the job right.
My advise is you just
shut your f*cking mouth.
NARRATOR: --or teach
Wendy the basics.
I thought cold
water was supposed
to boil faster than hot water.
What?
NARRATOR: In the red kitchen,
Jeff had problems all evening.
I've never been on
a [bleep] line before.
Come here, you.
Come here.
Come here.
- You don't like me?
I don't know what to tell you.
You're an assh*le.
NARRATOR: Then cracked
under the pressure.
Jeff.
I'm sending my ass home
I've had enough of him.
NARRATOR: Jeff
quitting for good was
the final straw in the
worst dinner service
of Chef Ramsay's career.
Shut it down.
NARRATOR: It was a miserable
night in both kitchens.
The losing team
tonight is the blue team.
NARRATOR: As best of the
worst, Ralph nominated Wendy
and Andrew for elimination.
Wendy, give me your jacket,
and get out of Hell's kitchen.
NARRATOR: With both
kitchens losing a member,
it's down to the final eight.
And now the continuation
of "Hell's Kitchen."
The blue team's first dinner
service defeat is sinking in.
And for Jessica, the
loss is personal.
She's such an amazing girl,
so sweet, so thoughtful.
Today, Wendy got eliminated.
I was really upset about it.
And I think she's
an amazing person.
I just super respect her.
We're down to eight people
now, and Hell's Kitchen
is definitely changing.
I'll never walk out
on my team, man, never.
NARRATOR: Despite
Jeff's sudden departure,
the red team is managing
to cope with the loss.
We won because why?
Because you know what?
He was gone.
Goodbye, hello, and
we f*cking got done.
We made it happen.
Whatever, man, he
got f*cking yelled at.
I'm sorry.
Are you going to cry by getting
somebody yelling at you?
We lost somebody, and
we held it together.
I think the team is
relieved that Jeff
is now out of the way.
He's been more of a
problem than he was a help.
NARRATOR: Fresh off his
nomination of Andrew,
Ralph feels the need to have
a late night heart to heart.
Are you trying to achieve
the role of smart ass?
All right, fine.
I'm a smart ass.
I've got a big
mouth, and I stood
up for what I believe tonight.
But is that the
role that you want?
No, absolutely not.
So then put the smart
ass shit away, man.
If you don't want to
be under the guillotine,
then just shut your
f*cking mouth, man.
Bottom line is you got to
check your ego at the door
when you walk in the kitchen.
And Andrew needs
to understand that.
NARRATOR: After the worst dinner
service in Hell's kitchen's
short history, Chef Ramsay
decides to go back to a not so
subtle wake-up call.
[horns]
Get up.
Get up.
Get up for role call.
This, morning, we're awoken
to the the sound of air horns,
very loud air horns to be exact.
All right, guys, everybody up.
Put your lights out, and
head home to the kitchen, OK?
Mary Ellen came in
turning on lights.
Get dressed, let's go, let's
go, no brushing teeth, nothing,
just put on your uniform and go.
Come on.
Let's Go
NARRATOR: With the
restaurant fully booked
for tomorrow night, and
both teams down a member,
kitchen prep is crucial.
Let's take them off the bone.
Keep the head--
It's a cleaver.
Use it like a cleaver.
OK.
Red team, blue team, line up.
Thank you.
We spent a lot of
time in the kitchens.
You've got to understand how
the restaurant functions.
So we're going to spend a bit
of time in the dining room
where J.P is looking
at attention to detail.
Let's go through
the dining room.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay's
restaurants are built
on quality food and service.
There's nobody he trusts
more to explain the finer
points of the dining room than
his longtime maitre d' Jean
Philippe, also known as J.P.
Going to send you
all to the dining room
because it's about restaurants.
We're running a restaurant.
Although regarding
restaurant setup,
you need to be organized.
Jean Philippe gave
us some instruction
and showed us a table
for fine dining.
He started going
on, and on, and on.
So what makes a perfect table?
First of all, would be the
chairs, such as symmetric.
It's about simplicity as well,
your cutlery straightened,
napkin, folded the proper way.
JP went into one ear
and out the other end.
So I don't think anybody was
paying too much attention.
You carry your
glass by the still.
When you put your cutlery
on the table, with elegance.
And you need to know what
you're talking about as well.
Clear?
Yes, chef.
Paying attention?
Yes, chef.
This is your next challenge.
Behind you, two table,
red table, blue table,
six customers at each table.
You need to set up the
most perfect table.
That was our hint.
That was our cheat sheet.
And he destroyed it so that
we couldn't take a look at it.
Turn around, set up
your table, and go.
NARRATOR: For this challenge,
the teams must recreate Jean
Philippe's perfectly set table.
They have five
minutes to arrange
the pieces of silverware,
glassware, and China.
In the end, the team with
the fewest number of mistakes
wins the challenge.
Right away, I picked
up the table cloth.
And as soon as I put
it down, it was--
that was the wrong side up.
Now, don't throw
things on there.
It's a table, guys, yeah?
I have absolutely
no clue how to set
up this dining room table.
There's just so many
pieces of silverware,
and glasses have to
be a certain way.
It's crazy.
NARRATOR: By now, the teams know
that winning has its rewards.
The glasses go
around like this.
NARRATOR: But it's the
punishment for losing
they're trying to avoid.
[interposing voices]
I don't know how these
napkins are folded.
Well, let's get everything
on, and then we'll adjust.
Jimmy had a little bit of
trouble with the napkins.
He's a bit of a lummox.
He's just a big guy.
He's a big bear.
And he's not that delicate.
Come on, guys.
There's only six,
for God's sake.
It's not .
NARRATOR: As the last
seconds wind down,
both teams scramble to properly
set pieces of glassware,
China, and silverware.
The team with the
fewest mistakes
will win this challenge.
[interposing voices]
OK, what kind of fork?
I need a snail fork here.
I need a napkin on one.
And how do we do them?
Like this?
And stop.
Stand back from the table.
Do not touch it.
OK, red team, it's scruffy.
Some chairs are pushed in.
Some chairs are pushed out.
Look at the lip on that.
I can guarantee anyone
sitting at this table,
first thing that's going to
happen, bang, up in the air.
Jimmy, napkins look
like they've just
come out of a ladies toilet.
Fingerprints everywhere.
You've got four mistakes
wrong with your table.
Attention to detail, you clearly
weren't paying attention.
OK, blue team, blue table.
Oh, you've got to keep these
glasses clear of any rim.
You want to drink wine and water
easily, not having to untuck.
OK, so for the blue
team, [inaudible]..
Yeah, OK.
Interesting, one mistake.
The winning team for the table
top set is the blue team.
[interposing voices]
Take off your jackets.
Your prize is waiting
for you in the dorm.
Red team?
Yes, chef?
Yes, chef?
All the preparation for
tomorrow night's service,
silver glasses, plates, are
awaiting you in the back
for a good old polish.
Get moving.
Come on down.
Congratulations.
Feels much better to win than
it does to lose, doesn't it?
It's the first time
we've actually won.
NARRATOR: For winning
their first challenge,
the blue team is rewarded with
a much needed afternoon of rest,
relaxation, and spa treatments.
Fantastic.
It smelled amazing.
There was candles everywhere.
It was super cool.
We were just blown away.
Now we're talking turkey.
We've been working
so long in the kitchen,
plus you're stressed.
So your muscles are tense.
So to get a massage was awesome.
Winning feels so much
better, doesn't it?
I wonder what the red
team's doing right now.
They're quite dirty, eh?
Jimmy, clumsy, yeah?
We were told that
we would be polishing
glasses plus all
of the silverware
for tomorrow night's dinner.
OK, so you guys
should all know what
the winning team gets, yeah?
Nobody knows in here.
Well, there's some
champagne ready.
Can you bring them
over to them, please?
For them?
OK.
Right now.
I don't like losing.
It was horrible.
So I was a hard loss to swallow.
Bonjour.
Anyone care for champagne?
You're doing a great
job over there, Chris.
Thanks, bro.
I aim to please.
As a team, we might have an
advantage for tomorrow night
because we're
riding a good high.
[interposing voices]
No, thank you.
I got work to do.
Could you bring
the bucket closer?
We're mentally and physically
prepared by being relaxed.
Team, I propose
a toast to success
and a prosperous
evening tomorrow night.
Cheers, blue team.
They're all having
spa treatments,
and they're all
laying down and being
rubbed with cucumbers
in their eyes,
and Ralph's having a pedicure.
They're having a nice time.
I was jealous.
I would have loved to
have just had an hour
or to have a facial and
massage, which is very well
needed doing this kind of work.
Told you it would happen.
NARRATOR: The teams
gather after a hard day
and are about to
discover they're
never out from under Chef
Ramsay's watchful eye.
How funny is J.P.
this afternoon.
He's such a cool guy.
He's such a character.
He is a character.
He's totally the butler.
He's like--
You think he's
got gas sometimes?
Yeah, you don't know if
he's suppressing a laugh
or if he's just like--
He's suppressing a laugh.
That guy can giggle
at any time too.
Did you see that?
Did you see the billboard?
- What?
It's Ramsay.
Look.
Oh, my f*cking god.
No f*cking way.
He's starring right--
He's totally watching us.
I can't see his left eye either.
He really is a big boy.
Yeah, chef.
Hey, big boy?
Where's chef?
Where's chef?
Holy shit.
Dude, that is not right.
I'm creeped out about that.
Dude, that's f*cking crazy.
He'll call us a
w*nk*r from above.
NARRATOR: Through
three dinner services,
neither the red nor the blue
team has served even half
of their diners a full meal.
With the eight best
cooks remaining,
Chef Ramsay is expecting a
huge improvement tonight.
He's so confident, that he's
adding two new menu items.
Tonight, we're going to
be cooking some frog legs.
Second one, here we go.
Pigeons.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay is
known for his high cuisine.
Frog legs and pigeon are
staples of his great restaurants
in Europe.
He has put these
items on the menu
because to be a master chef, one
must understand how to prepare
a wide variety of foods.
Now you can start to see
the pigeon taking shape.
That bird, that was
pretty nasty, and I
was just horrified,
because it was
the most disgusting smell ever.
Insert the knife.
OK, two fingers in.
I'm just pulling
out all the innards.
It was just gross.
It just smelled like
something really, really foul.
I'm not touching it.
I'm not going there.
But that's how we prep
a pigeon for service.
Today was a great
lesson for them
because ingredients
just don't arrive
on your doorstep prepared.
You've got to see it
from the beginning,
with it's feathers on,
like a proper chef.
Let's go.
Start prepping.
Oh, this thing's Satan.
Thank you, Chef Ramsay.
Thank you.
Six, five hours from service.
Frog juice in my eye.
Where are we putting these?
Adding two new menu items
last minute that nobody's ever
cooked before in
their life, it's
of course going to be difficult.
And it's trial by fire.
Burn and learn, baby.
I really don't want
to go home tonight.
None of us are going home
tonight, not the blue team.
NARRATOR: Confidence is
high in the blue kitchen.
Meanwhile, in the red kitchen,
Elsie, the mother of six,
struggles to adapt to the
world of high cuisine.
I got a problem with cutting
an animal up to pieces.
I know it's done
in the supermarket,
but the visual is just
really nasty to see it.
But I'm going to handle it.
I've got an attitude today.
It's do or die.
OK, your tomatoes are on?
Ready to roll?
My tomatoes?
First night service
was catastrophe.
Chef, that ticket is gone.
They've left the restaurant.
Oh, for God's sake.
The second night, we actually
put our foot on the ladder
and started climbing.
Thank you, very good.
Crispy bacon, hallelujah.
Third service was just
diabolical, really bad.
We went back spaces.
Move your ass.
I just like to get
through a night
and accomplish a fully
book dining room properly.
Red team, blue team, with
me two seconds, please.
NARRATOR: Just minutes
before Hell's Kitchen opens,
Chef Ramsay gathers the teams.
And he's fed up with
dinner disasters.
Tonight is a comeback meal.
I think we need it, don't you?
Yes, chef.
I think we've got
a job to do, and we
need to prove not
to the customers
but to ourselves what
we're capable of doing.
That's why we're here, right?
Yes, chef.
So tonight, the first team
to serve all its customers
will be safe from elimination.
Sounds easy, Andrew?
Yes Yes, I it does, chef.
- I wish it was that easier.
- Me too, chef.
As long as Andrew keeps
his mouth shut tonight,
we have a good chance of
serving all of our diners.
It's really exciting
when chef just told us.
It's up to us whether
we win or lose tonight.
And I'm going to do
whatever it takes
to get this red team to win.
NARRATOR: Now, minutes
before the restaurant opens,
there's more news
for one of the teams.
Red team?
Yes, chef?
Second part of the punishment
for losing the challenge--
can see the dining
room out there?
Yes, chef.
Move your ass and set up
the dining room, both the
blue tables and the red tables.
Move.
Let's go.
Blue team, set up for service.
Yes, chef.
First thing to
do, this is the way
you set your side plates, OK?
Good.
OK, it needs to be done
properly because if it's not,
you can't go back
into the kitchen.
Left, left, left.
I know it's important to
have a formal dining area set
up properly, but
right now, that's
not what I'm thinking about.
I'm thinking about the service
and the food going out tonight.
A sides plate's
missing here, Jimmy?
NARRATOR: With tables and
place settings to set,
the red team is losing valuable
prep time in the kitchen.
This table here, this table.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, the blue
team is done with their prep
and getting their
station set up.
Oh my god, Mary Ellen.
Look at this.
- What, what, what?
- Look at this.
Oh, you scared me.
It's beautiful.
I'm feeling pretty
good about our station.
While we're prepping right now,
the red team is setting up all
the tables in the dining room.
And I hope we use
it to our advantage.
The tables are set perfectly.
You guys go back
into the kitchen.
Give me some food.
Thank you, J.P.
Thank you, J.P.
NARRATOR: With just five
minutes before the doors open,
the red team has finished
setting the dining room.
Now they must make
up for lost time.
Both teams are
motivated more than ever
to beat all their diners and
be safe from elimination.
Behind, behind,
behind, let's move.
Everyone on the red
tables are eating tonight.
There was no way
that we were going
to disappoint Chief Ramsey.
Time to kick it into
second gear, guys.
NARRATOR: Back in
the blue kitchen,
Ralph still feels
insecure about Andrew.
Not only do I not
see the tomato sauce,
but I don't even know
what it goes with.
It goes with the bass.
The stripped bass,
which has the--
The potatoes.
The potatoes, right.
Andrew was a little
unsure about some
of the garnish for the dishes.
I wish I didn't have
to help anybody.
But if we had to feed
customers, that's
what we're going to do tonight.
I have most of them.
The lamb, here's
ratatouille, the tomato.
Ralph took a role
of tape, and started
writing Wellington, xxx, bang.
It was a cheat sheet.
Butter, potatoes.
Do we have all the garnish
for the pigeon over here?
The pigeon gets the carrot?
Carrot, cabbage,
pan cheddar cream?
First customers
are here, yeah?
Here we go.
NARRATOR: It's at : PM, and
the restaurant is now open.
Well, thank you and
enjoy your dinner, ladies
We're clearing down, no?
Let's go, guys.
I'm desperate for us to
find a complete of service.
And that's why I'm giving
the teams extra motivation.
But I'm not going to send
out food that is mediocre.
It has to be right.
I'll be shocked if either team
can serve all their tables.
Red table on order.
Two covers.
Table , yes?
One frog legs du jour, yep?
One tuna, main course,
one cod Wellington.
Wellington in.
- Oui, chef.
Let's go, you guys.
What should I
heat the oven up to?
?
Is that good?
NARRATOR: Elsie has a
pivotal role tonight.
She's responsible for all meat
dishes for the very first time.
How long do I keep
that lamb in there?
I'm really worried about Elsie
on the meat station tonight.
If she messes up, I'm
going to make sure she's
the one who's eliminated.
Blue kitchen, chef.
On order, blue kitchen,
two cover, table .
One tuna, one spaghetti
lobster, main course,
one cod Wellington.
- Yes, chef.
Wellington in medium.
So it's like this.
Look at me, three
Wellington, three potato,
three spinach, three carrot.
Run it through your
head, and then all it
does is it broadens it, yeah?
My one goal for the evening
is keeping my mouth shut.
Yes, chef, no, chef,
thank you, chef, here
you go, chef, on the window.
Let's go, yes?
Mary Ellen works
quickly to turn
around her first appetizers.
And they're at the hot plate.
Jessica.
Good.
Let's go.
Lobster in the tomato.
Come on, get
organized, sweetheart.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Mary Ellen, that's how I
wanted to see every tuna.
Yes, chef.
Going.
Pickup.
Wow, that actually looks
like restaurant food, now.
Table , yes?
NARRATOR: Only
minutes into service,
the blue team is
off to a good start,
and has served appetizers
to several of its tables.
It's really good.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Chef
Ramsay is looking for more
good news from the red kitchen.
How long spaghetti, please?
Five minutes, five minutes,
five minutes, five minutes
for spaghetti.
- Chelsea?
Yes.
Don't do this to me now.
It's coming in two minutes.
No, I'm not waiting.
second,
seconds, seconds.
For god's sake,
calm down, woman.
Just tell me two minutes.
Yes, chef.
Els, you've got it
under control, yeah?
- Yes, chef.
- You're doing fine.
What are you worried about?
Come on, you're doing fine.
I just keep
throwing off minutes.
Don't worry about it.
NARRATOR: Less than an hour into
service, in the blue kitchen,
the first main course
is just moments
from heading to the hot plate
for Chef Ramsay's approval.
You need a plate?
You see what I'm doing here?
Yeah?
That's medium
rare right there.
- That's ready.
- Can I bring it out?
Sure, you can.
All right, Wellington
coming up right now.
Jessica, very
nice, the Wellington.
Thank you, chef.
Keep it going
like that, Jessica.
Go, please.
Well's nice, guys.
First main course.
NARRATOR: With the
first main course out,
Andrew brings up garnish
for the next order.
Now I want best cod.
Let's go.
Wellington.
What are you on?
Three Wellingtons, one bass.
One cod, one bass, two salmon.
Are your OK, Andrew?
Yes, I am.
Right, I'm talking to you.
You're sending me the
wrong garnish, yes?
Yes.
Two salmon, one cob, one bass.
Five minutes.
Ralph, I don't want any fish
until the vegetables are here,
yes?
Because right now, the
whole lot's going back.
Main courses are
all piling up now.
Move your ass.
It is not difficult.
NARRATOR: Tonight's
goal is to complete
all the orders in each kitchen.
The team who does
it first will win.
The blue team has compensated
for Andrew's troubles.
And an hour and a
half into service,
they've served almost
all their appetizers
and some of their main courses.
Meanwhile, Elsie has
delivered the red kitchen's
first entrees to the hot plate.
They're close to completing
their first of tables.
All that's needed is
the garnish from Jimmy.
Jimmy, taste that.
Hurry up, Jimmy.
It's turned cold.
- Yes, chef.
Back to the pan.
It's tone cold.
- Yes, chef.
I said to you this
afternoon you were done.
Get it in the pan.
Hurry up.
Yes, chef.
Why are you serving
me stone cold garnish?
Why are you serving
me stone cold garnish?
Because I'm used--
Stop.
Yes, chef.
Let's go, yeah?
I'm trying my best.
Hey, young man, well,
that's not good enough for me,
do you understand?
Because that's shit.
So don't come to me you
wimp, I'm trying my best.
And it's crap.
You send me one
more cold garnish,
you're washing pans for
the rest of your life.
You will never get
a cold garnish again.
NARRATOR: Back in
the blue kitchen,
Ralph is now starting
to serve desserts,
completing the blue team's
first three tickets.
But they still have
a long way to go.
Let's go, guys.
Hey, Jessica, Ralph,
what did I say
to you earlier about serving
the whole dining room?
Serve everybody, chef.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, , , .
tables to go.
We got it, chef.
Got it, chef.
Andrew, where is the endive?
He just doesn't even answer me.
- The what?
Endive, where's the endive?
Where is the endive?
Here, chef.
Oh, f*ck, Ralph,
get it back here.
Get it back.
I've got no endive.
Yes, I've got no spinach,
I've got no butternut squash.
Start the table again.
Andrew?
- Yes, chef?
- Hello?
Yes, chef?
Yes, you.
Fish is not even cooked yet, so
I don't know what you're doing?
Hello?
Young man?
Yes, chef, I'm listening.
Yeah, young man.
You explain to him what just
happened with the garnish now.
I was late on the garnish.
We're redoing the whole order.
Yeah, table , yes.
Apologize.
The ticket came in an
hour and five minutes ago.
I couldn't say anything out
because a certain individual
had nothing ready on
the vegetables, OK?
Let's step up the gear and
get it back on track, please.
Yeah, chef.
When Andrew kept his mouth
shut and didn't bite back,
the discipline was now
starting to set in,
and he's really starting to
get the message, finally.
Andrew, you got a lamb
and a welly in, yes?
Yes, chef.
Yes, Ralph.
That's me.
I just have to call you Ralph.
NARRATOR: Andrew avoided a
showdown with Chef Ramsay,
and the blue kitchen
avoided a meltdown, sending
more food out to the diners.
Really yummy, just a
big chunk of lobster.
Jessica?
Yes, chef?
Very nice, that
spaghetti lobster.
Thank you, chef.
NARRATOR: With Jessica
mastering the meat station,
the blue kitchen now
has tickets left.
The red kitchen
still has To have
any hope of winning
tonight's service,
Elsie must get her
meat station moving.
Elsie?
Yes?
Concentrate now, you
stay on top of the game,
wakie, wakie, wakie.
Yes, chef.
Two pigeon and Wellington
with salmon away.
Yes, chef.
I'm very anxious.
The adrenaline is running.
But I have a better
understanding
of what I need to do.
So I'm just going
to bust it out.
I'm not going to lose it.
I'm going to kick
some ass if it's
the last f*cking thing I do.
How's that?
You're doing awesome, Elsie.
The Wellington's cooked
beautifully, by the way.
The Wellington is spot on.
NARRATOR: There's only
one hour left in service,
and the blue kitchen has only
five tables left to serve.
But maitre d' Jean Philippe
has noticed a problem.
- Why, what's wrong?
- It's just a little mushy.
I couldn't eat it.
Mushy?
Hat on, please?
Oh, no.
What's the matter?
Well, they
mentioned it's mushy.
Mary Ellen?
Yeah, chef.
Come here, Ralph.
You taste that.
Ralph, you taste that.
And let me know
what you think, yes?
Yeah?
And it tastes of
what, Mary Ellen?
Little bland, chef.
Little bland.
There you go.
There you go.
Mary Ellen, I want this
f*cking table again,
three risotto, one
spaghetti, one tuna, yeah?
Yes, chef.
But I want three
beautiful risottos.
Yeah, chef.
Because you know how to
do a beautiful risotto.
Stop that.
Stop it now.
Nothing's coming out until
this table gets served.
- Sorry, chef.
- Thank you, everybody.
NARRATOR: With the blue
kitchen at a standstill--
Let's go, guys.
Come on, red team,
pick it up, yes?
NARRATOR: --the red kitchen
rallies to get dishes out.
They have six tickets
left to serve.
I want it now,
Wellington with lamb.
Pull that lamb out, OK?
You're doing great.
Oh, you're good.
Perfect.
Go, man.
Good job, red team.
We're not in the clear yet.
Risotto, how long, please?
NARRATOR: With just
minutes remaining,
Mary Ellen in the
blue kitchen gets
her risottos back up to par.
And the blue kitchen is
cooking now, or are they?
Where is the tuna?
Tuna?
Frogs legs, tuna, spaghetti,
risotto, where is the tuna?
Coming up.
No, but where is it?
Have you forgotten it?
I thought it was
frog legs, risotto--
Come here.
Come here, lady.
Frog legs, tuna,
spaghetti, risotto.
Read it out.
Where is the tuna?
It's going to be
two minutes, chef.
Two minutes.
Hello.
Start it back.
Oh, there we go.
Me, I'm not taking
out f*cking bullshit.
Yep.
Here you go, Mary Ellen.
- Thank you.
There you go.
Take them, yeah.
Whole f*cking lot of you.
He sent back that whole dish
because a tuna wasn't prepared?
I'm so f*cking mad
right now I just
want to punch him in the face.
Go on, Mary Ellen, we're
going to start again.
Six minutes on
that [inaudible]..
Sorry, [inaudible].
Let's do it right.
NARRATOR: Mary
Ellen's mistake has
the blue kitchen still working
on their last five tables.
Meanwhile, the red team
is making their final push
to clear all their tickets.
How many more diners?
We have four more tickets.
We're almost there, baby.
We're almost there.
I'm melting.
We started to see the
tickets go down from eight,
to six, to four.
And when I saw those last two
tickets, I was like, all right.
Those are our tickets now?
That's what I'm talking about.
Do you need a plate?
[inaudible] what
you need, baby.
I don't know.
Yes, the final ticket.
Two wellington, and one bass.
Are they rested?
Yes, chef.
Jimmy, start dancing
like a ballerina.
Move.
Good job, red team.
Good.
Great f*cking work.
I'm so proud of you guys.
I said last table, yes?
Yes.
We came together
and we did it.
And it's a great
feeling to complete
a service for the first time.
Elsie, f*cking deserve it.
Good job, sweetie.
My meat was spot on.
It's really girly but I did it.
And I'm proud of myself, and
the guys are proud of me,
and it's a good feeling.
What can I say?
NARRATOR: The red team
has just accomplished
something that's never
happened in Hell's Kitchen.
I said last table, yes?
I love the sound of that.
NARRATOR: Being the first
team to clear their tickets
ensures their safety
in Hell's Kitchen
and leaves Chef Ramsay with
only one thing left to do.
Blue team?
Yeah, chef?
Stop cooking, yes?
Mary Ellen was--
sorry, baby, lack of a better
term, a disaster tonight.
Stop cooking.
Andrew always has
problems every night
at service in a big way.
Shut it down, yes?
NARRATOR: Hell's Kitchen has
just had its best service ever.
OK, guys, tonight
was the come back meal,
and we delivered both the
blue and the red team.
Tonight, we got back on
there, both kitchens.
The shock for me
was a full service.
The red team had to
go in the dining room
and lay all the bloody tables.
That needs to
be done properly.
So on top of laying
all the tables,
they scrambled back and
got ready for service.
And for the first time
in Hell's Kitchen,
every one of the red
tables got starter,
main course, and dessert.
That is a big breakthrough.
Red team, you're the winners.
Blue team, sadly,
five tables didn't
receive their main course.
That's not good enough.
Ralph?
Yeah chef?
You won't be nominating
anyone tonight.
The blue team has a new
talented cook, Jessica.
The cooking was spot on.
Jessica, very nice,
the Wellington.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you, chef.
And you had the
toughest section.
Jessica?
Chef?
I want you to go
back to the dorm
and nominate two
candidates for elimination.
Think about your
nominees and let me know.
Yeah, chef.
Let's go.
Right now, things
are bittersweet for me.
Chef said some really nice
things that make me very happy.
But at the same time, I
have to go and nominate
two of my teammates.
It sucks.
So are you going to give
me a sip of your beer though?
You can have whatever
you'd like, Love?
And I cry over everything.
Chill out, Jess.
Don't worry about it.
I know, I know.
This is just what I do.
I really Jess.
I think that we've grown
closer over the last few days.
I don't think that they'll be
one of the people nominated.
Are we going or what?
I feel for you, man, because
you carry that f*cking team.
I'm safe tonight, man.
No, no, I know.
I could be one of
those two people that she
calls up there to [inaudible]
Well, I hope you are safe.
But if you're not, it was
a pleasure meeting you.
Come find me, Jerry.
My performance didn't
merit it tonight.
It's still a game.
There's still some
strategy to it.
Ain't nothing written
in stone here.
What?
You worried?
- Sure.
Why?
Why not?
What are the chances of
surviving the guillotine twice?
Really.
Even pleading my case, what
do I think the chances are?
A strategic move
would be vote Ralph off.
He's obviously my
biggest competition.
Maybe I do need to get a
little bit more strategic.
I think I've probably
got a chance to win this.
I've made up my decision.
It is what it is.
After successfully
serving all their tables,
the red team sits
safely on the sidelines
as the blue team nervously
awaits the elimination
of another team member.
Jessica?
Yes, chef.
Have you decided
on your nominees?
Yes, chef, I have.
Was it difficult?
It's extremely
difficult, chef.
These are not only
our roommates,
but they've become our friends,
and more importantly our team.
And it's aways terrible to let
; one of your team leave, chef.
First nominee and why, please.
My first nominee is Andrew.
He was on veg
tonight, and seemed
to have a bit of a hard time
getting the final product
out, and on plate, on time.
It affects the entire
team, and that's
why I nominate Andrew, chef.
Second nominee and why?
My second nominee
is Mary Ellen.
Today in the kitchen she had
a bad bout with the risotto
and she wasn't
able to bounce back
as hard as we would have liked.
Mary Ellen, Andrew,
step forward, please.
Andrew, tell me why you
think you should stay.
I kept my mouth
shut tonight, chef.
And it shows and I'm
a learning machine.
A learning machine.
I've got no endive.
Yes, I've got no spinach,
I've got no butternut squash,
and now the fish is overcooked.
So listen, young man,
start the table again.
I think being here
twice in a row
clearly indicates the
blue team don't like you.
Mary Ellen, tell me why
you think you should stay.
Well, chef, this
evening I felt
like I was doing a very
good performance on starters
until I let myself down,
my team down, and you down.
Tonight, you shut
the kitchen down.
Tonight, we had to stop cooking
on the back of those risottos.
And it was pretty
damn disgusting.
Nothing's coming out until
this table gets served.
Yes, chef.
But I want three
beautiful risottos.
Yeah, chef.
Because you know how to
do a beautiful risotto.
Sorry, chef.
I'm disappointed in you both.
The person leaving Hell's
Kitchen tonight is Mary Ellen.
Take off your jacket.
You're leaving Hell's Kitchen.
I think that Chef
Ramsay's decision
tonight was the wrong decision.
I don't believe I was the
weak link on the team tonight.
I think as shown
in the past, it was
Andrew that was the weak link.
I think that Andrew will
be joining me shortly.
And you're a lucky
boy, very lucky.
That's enough for tonight.
Goodnight.
I just survived
the guillotine twice.
And the most important
lesson I've learned
is when you're facing the
devil in Hell's Kitchen,
shut your f*cking mouth.
I think everyone thought
that Andrew was going.
It makes you realize that
the obvious is not always
the choice he's going to make.
Anyone's vulnerable.
To me, it wasn't
the right decision.
Mary Ellen, she's just like
this sweet, innocent girl.
I think as far as a teammate
I think she's one of the best.
Mary Ellen has
left Hell's Kitchen
because of her inconsistency.
What the rest of the
team should understand
is that it is very crucial to
get better and more consistent.
That didn't happen
to Mary Ellen.
