NARRATOR: Previously on "Hell's
Kitchen," the final four
face their toughest test.
- Come on.
What are you waiting for?
Dig in.
NARRATOR: In Chef Ramsay's Taste
It, Now Make It challenge--
You've got half an hour
to recreate this dish.
Go.
NARRATOR: And once again, it
was between Danny and Paula's
dishes.
GORDON RAMSAY: The thing
that's separating you is
as thin as a strand of saffron.
Congratulations, Danny.
Yes!
NARRATOR: Then at
dinner service--
GORDON RAMSAY: You
are my dream team.
Prove it tonight.
NARRATOR: The chefs got
off to a strong start.
GORDON RAMSAY: Perfect.
I hate using that
word, but perfect.
NARRATOR: But Ben fumbled
trying to make a plain salad.
GORDON RAMSAY: Did
you go to school?
Yes, Chef.
You don't know how
to make plain salad?
Yes, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Oh my god.
NARRATOR: And Andrea was
less than spectacular
on the meat station.
ANDREA: I'm down two.
GORDON RAMSAY: What?
What the f*ck are you doing?
ANDREA: I did a miscount, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: You just
f*cked a perfect service.
NARRATOR: The chefs did manage
to complete dinner service.
GORDON RAMSAY: Switch
everything off, Danny.
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: But Chef
Ramsay was unimpressed.
I've never been so bloody
frustrated in all my time
in Hell's Kitchen.
All four of you come up with one
individual that you all agree
should be leaving
Hell's Kitchen.
NARRATOR: Ben and
Danny att*cked Andrea.
Have you ever run a kitchen?
BEN: You're .
You just came out
of culinary school.
ANDREA: I'm not going
run down my f*cking
credentials to either of you.
NARRATOR: Then, when it was
time to send someone home--
GORDON RAMSAY: Have you
all come to your consensus?
ANDREA: It was a tie between
myself and Ben, Chef.
Ben.
Andrea.
Step forward.
NARRATOR: Ben and Andrea were
facing elimination together
for the second week in a row.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ben,
take your jacket
off and leave Hell's Kitchen.
NARRATOR: It was Ben's
dream of becoming
Head Chef at Borgata Atlantic
City that went up in flames.
GORDON RAMSAY: Now I'm looking
at the best of the best.
NARRATOR: And Chef Ramsay had
a surprise for the final three.
Before you go
back to the dorms,
I want to give you
a little treat.
[theme music]
NARRATOR: And now, the
continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
GORDON RAMSAY: Here's some
faces I think all of you
will recognize.
Paula, here's your
mother and your sister.
PAULA: Ah!
[laughing]
GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.
ANDREA: Ah!
GORDON RAMSAY: Here's your
mother and your cousin.
Danny, here's your father,
your girlfriend Devon.
DEVON: [inaudible]
DANNY: Big hug.
When I saw my old man
and my girlfriend,
I was just like,
overwhelmed, man.
ANDREA: Mom, I love you so much.
I missed you so much.
ANDREA'S MOM: I missed
you, too, honey.
ANDREA: I come from a line of
really extremely strong women,
and it's something that I
hold onto and carry with me
and I'm so proud of.
Mom.
I never realized how
important you guys were
until you guys weren't there.
PAULA: Oh, my god.
This is so hard.
You have no idea.
Honestly, this is the
hardest thing I've ever
been through in my whole life.
It was awesome to
see my sister my mom.
I told them I can't wait to get
home, and they just said to me,
you're not going home
until you win this.
And that's what
I needed to hear.
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
Tremendously proud of you.
I knew that you had it
in you to get to the top.
DANNY: To see that smile
on my old man's face--
it just feels so good
to show the old man
what his boy's got in him
and the future that he had.
ANDREA: I have
cheered at the thought
of you guys coming here.
ANDREA'S COUSIN: It's for real.
It's for real
ANDREA'S MOM: Yeah, we're here.
We're here.
- Thank you so much for coming.
- Very nice to meet you.
GORDON RAMSAY: I appreciate it.
DANNY: This is the best
gift Chef has given us.
Nothing could have been
more motivating than giving
me a little piece of home.
DANNY'S DAD: Take
it all the way,
because I know you can do it.
I know you can do it.
PAULA: I love you.
PAULA'S SISTER: I
love you too, sister.
DANNY: Bye, baby.
GORDON RAMSAY: Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
DANNY: Bye, Dad.
GORDON RAMSAY: What
a lovely surprise.
Keep it up, OK?
We're really pulling for you.
ANDREA: All right.
Amazing.
ANDREA: That minutes
of time that I had
with my family-- it was so
invaluable and so precious
to me.
It refueled me, and
it's the final three
and my destiny is in my control.
[both laughing]
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Recharged after
spending some time last night
with their loved
ones, the chefs are
ready to take on
whatever challenge Chef
Ramsay wants to throw at them.
Good morning.
CHEFS: Good morning, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Wow.
Look at you.
have gone.
Now we're left with
the creme de la creme.
Well done.
CHEFS: Thank you, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Today's challenge,
you'll be serving lunch to
very special, distinguished
customers.
ANDREA: I have no guess
as to who it will be.
It could be anything.
It could be
kids for all I know.
I don't know.
I want each of you to
select a dish to really
impress these patrons.
Excited?
Yes, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY:
You've each got
minutes to cook portions.
Let it shine.
Yes, Chef.
minutes.
Off you go.
NARRATOR: The chefs have
minutes and a fully stocked
kitchen at their disposal.
Chef Ramsay is
looking for dishes
that will impress the
very special mystery guests.
GORDON RAMSAY: Small
tasting portions, yes?
PAULA: Yes, Chef.
I'm feeling confident about
my food for this challenge.
I'm at the top of my game.
Danny and Andrea
should be worried.
DANNY: When Chef told us to
pick a upscale lunch dish,
all I was thinking was you
know seafood, you know fruit.
Put it together.
That's pretty much
my signature flavor.
So I'm not worried
about my cuisine.
GORDON RAMSAY: Mmm, smells nice.
Very nice.
ANDREA: With this challenge,
we had an hour and a half--
twice as long as the
longest challenge.
But you're not
producing two portions.
You're producing .
DANNY: See the lid
to the Dijon, no?
PAULA: I wouldn't
worry about that.
DANNY: I'm not.
PAULA: I think Danny is my
strongest competition based
on Danny can keep
control and keep cool
under stressful situations.
Come on, you fucker.
f*ck.
Andrea, on the other hand,
gets a little bit flustered
in the heat of competition.
ANDREA: f*cking [inaudible]
Half an hour to go, yes?
DANNY: Yes, Chef.
ANDREA: minutes.
DANNY: Andrea is somewhere
else in left field.
I think that Andrea's going
to crumble under the pressure.
ANDREA: f*ck.
minutes, guys.
GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.
ANDREA: Yes, Chef?
GORDON RAMSAY: I'd hurry
up if I was you, yeah?
ANDREA: Yes, Chef.
- Yeah, I'm getting nervous.
Yeah, I'm getting
nervous for you, Madam.
ANDREA: I'm fine, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: No, you're
running behind, Madam.
Keep pushing out.
Keep pushing out, girl.
I pretty much was talking
to myself out loud.
Stick these in butter.
That's pretty much my style.
Jalapeno butter instead,
that's what I'm going to do.
Nobody else was standing
there talking me through it.
Nobody else was rooting me on.
I had to do that for myself.
GORDON RAMSAY: Your customers
are seconds away from arriving.
Come on, let's go.
ANDREA: It was just a time
crunch like never before.
By far the most difficult
challenge we've had.
GORDON RAMSAY: Your
customers are here.
Let's go.
Here they come.
These are chefs from
across Los Angeles,
from some of the best-rated
restaurants in Zagat,
Michelin rated, and the
creme de la creme of fine
dining in California.
PAULA: Holy sh*t.
These are real chefs.
They know great food.
I started to panic
just a little bit.
GORDON RAMSAY: Would
the executive chefs
mind standing up, please.
DANNY: I was just
like, holy sh*t.
people stand up.
Mark Peel,
Campanile restaurant.
The recent recipient
of the James Beard
Outstanding Restaurant Award.
- That's right.
Sal Marino, chef/owner of Il
Grano restaurant in West LA.
Chef Ben Ford.
I'm from Ford's Filling Station.
I'm a chef and owner.
Celestino Drago,
Drago Restaurant.
And you've got four
restaurants across LA.
DANNY: Most of them were
executive slash owner.
Definitely the toughest
critics that we've had yet.
Joachim Splichal, chef and
founder of The Patina Group.
Executive Chef at Synergies,
five star fine dining rooms.
We're the best in California.
Josiah Citrin, chef/owner
of Melisse restaurant.
Congratulations on
your two Michelin stars.
Thank you.
ANDREA: Michelin stars, Zagat
rated, James Beard Awards--
you know, those are all huge
accolades in the culinary world
and very, very intimidating.
Michael Reardon,
corporate executive chef.
Chef, partner of Grayson
[inaudible] restaurant.
Executive Chef
at Eat. on Sunset.
Hotel Angelino.
Sushi [inaudible].
Suzanne Goin.
I'm the chef/owner of
Lucques and AOC restaurants.
Best chef in California,
James Beard, ?
Yes.
ANDREA: That is the
best of the best.
And it's like, oh my god,
you're here eating my food.
I just get chills
thinking about it.
Los Angeles must be starving,
because you're all here.
[laughter]
DANNY: All these great
chefs in the same building,
scrutinizing every
single thing that we do.
Now, ready to go, yes?
Plating up.
DANNY: This is
going to be gnarly.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ready to go, yes?
Plating up.
Off we go.
Service, please.
Let's go.
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: The guests will
sample each of the three dishes
and vote for their favorite
and least favorite entree.
Today I have for you Chicken
Roulade micro basil and garlic.
Thank you.
As far as the chefs
that we have here
and the caliber
of their palates,
you can't pull the
wool over their eyes.
PAULA: Here we have an olive
oil-poached sturgeon with
crispy potato and creme fresh.
We have a salad of arugula and
radishes and Ossetra caviar.
Enjoy.
I didn't do much
schmoozing with the chefs.
They just want to probably
get their food in and get out.
I like that.
Be having a lightly-blackened
halibut today with ginger mint
peach salsa, side of basmati
rice with celery, fennel,
chili peppers, and honey.
Bottom line is the food,
and I think I nailed it.
I feel like I can
be proud of today.
NARRATOR: The aspiring chefs
maybe feeling confident
about their dishes,
but LA's finest
chefs will have the final word.
That's good.
The jalapeno butter, I like.
- Favorite dish?
- It's the sturgeon.
GORDON RAMSAY: Yes.
You see that step up.
Cleaned my plate.
I'm going to finish it all.
NARRATOR: Now that all of
the dishes have been sampled,
the guest chefs must circle
the color of the dish they
like the most.
SAL MARINO: My vote
goes for the yellow.
I think by far, the
purple kicked ass.
NARRATOR: And the one
they like the least.
The blue.
CHEF: It was horrible.
CHEF: It was too dry.
This is bush league.
Not a dish you
do for people.
And now a dish you
do for a tasting.
Why would you pick halibut?
DANNY: A few people were
like, ooh, looks great.
So I just hope that
they enjoyed it.
Vote done.
NARRATOR: With the
votes in and counted,
Chef Ramsay is ready
to reveal the results.
Over % thought one
dish was the worst.
Now, %-- basically,
you hated it.
[chefs laughing]
And that dish belongs to Danny.
I was embarrassed.
I was standing in front
of all these chefs
and these are the elite.
For them to think so lowly
of me just kills me, man.
Right.
That means Andrea
and Paula are left.
Over % chose one dish as
their favorite, and clearly
the best dish by a landslide.
The best dish belongs to Paula.
Congratulations.
Absolutely brilliant.
[chefs applauding]
PAULA: I'm cooking for some
of these best chefs in LA,
and % of them thought
that my dish was the best.
It's a huge honor.
GORDON RAMSAY: Congratulations.
Thank you, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Now this
reward comes in two parts.
For the rest of the
day, you're going
to be given the full
Hollywood pampered treatment.
Haircuts, color, manicure--
PAULA: Wow.
Eyebrows?
Wax?
GORDON RAMSAY:
Shampoo, conditioner.
You're from Brazil.
- Yes.
So that includes
a wax, as well.
Awesome.
Great.
It's a bit of a chef's thing.
And part two is an
amazing surprise,
but that happens tomorrow.
- Oh, OK.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK?
Before that surprise, I want
you looking your best, yes?
I'll try.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK.
Losers, your punishment
comes in two parts.
Part one-- after our
chefs have departed,
you'll be cleaning up
each and every table.
Then resetting the dining room
[inaudible] tomorrow night's
service.
Part two is laundry day.
You'll be steaming, ironing,
starching, and folding each
and every cloth.
DANNY: The punishment
is whatever.
It just sucks that I
have to sit here all day
and just think about
what a horrible job
I did this morning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
And I can't wait to get
back to your restaurants.
OK, back upstairs and I'll
get Jean-Philippe to give
you a call in minutes, yes?
- Yes, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Off you go, yes?
Let's go.
ANDREA: You're going to get
some kind of magazine spread,
I tell you what.
Paula slammed it, and
she's a brilliant chef.
And as much as it
pains me to say,
she was steps ahead
of both Danny and I.
PAULA: Thanks.
ANDREA: You are the sh*t, man.
Tell you what.
DANNY: Ah, f*ck, man.
What a kick in the nuts.
It was just a really
bad day to lose, man.
Real bad.
I just hope that Chef doesn't
take me out of this competition
based on this one challenge.
Up until this point, I've
been one of the front runners,
you know?
And then to come in
last place stinks, man.
ANDREA: Danny took
that loss pretty hard,
and I think this is probably the
first time I've ever seen Danny
beaten down in Hell's Kitchen.
PAULA: It was f*cking
tough, though.
ANDREA: Mm.
Paula.
NARRATOR: With Jean-Philippe
along for the ride--
JEAN-PHILIPPE: So we are
going to beauty salon.
NARRATOR: --Paula heads off
to get a Hollywood makeover.
I think I'm ready
for some changes, JP.
Frankly you don't really
need too much of a--
but he really wants
you to sparkle.
He wants you to look
like a princess.
You know, I think JP is
just genuinely a nice guy.
JEAN-PHILIPPE: How do you
relax yourself outside of work?
PAULA: I do work out.
- Nice.
PAULA: Yeah.
He's a really cool guy.
He's nice.
You know, he's personable.
I was a little bit shocked
that he cares so much.
What about you?
Married?
Single?
No, single.
Single.
It's difficult
to meet somebody
outside of the business.
JEAN-PHILIPPE: I know.
You don't force things in life.
PAULA: No.
They just come along.
That time will come.
You planning on going
back to Europe, or no?
Never.
PAULA: Really.
Mark Slicker.
I'm Paula.
- Paula, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
MARK SLICKER: We have makeup
artists here do your makeup.
I'll take care of your hair as
well as manicure and pedicure.
Oh, sweet.
MARK SLICKER: Are
you ready for this?
PAULA: I'm ready.
I'm feeling great right now.
Feeling glammed up.
That's what celebrity
life is all about.
NARRATOR: Paula may be glowing
from her star treatment,
but back in Hell's Kitchen--
sh*t, man.
We're going to be here forever.
NARRATOR: Danny is steamed.
DANNY: Oh, my god, dude.
I'm going to f*cking lose it.
I'm not the biggest ironer.
Ah, beautiful.
It was kind of nice to
see Danny down on himself,
because I haven't seen that.
I am going to use
that to my advantage.
DANNY: Dude, what the f*ck?
I just gotta get my head out of
my ass and get a good attitude,
and go in there and do this
punishment like a champion
and bounce back.
You still have
that many to go?
DANNY: Yeah, dude.
I'm down and out right
now, but I'm trying to pick
myself back up and move on.
Crap, man.
Still manage to have wrinkles.
NARRATOR: Andrea and Danny
are hours from completing
their punishment, but Paula is
ready to show off the results
of her rewarding day.
ANDREA: Oh, my god.
DANNY: Hey, hey.
ANDREA: Look at you.
Oh, my god.
PAULA: Manicure and pedicure.
Look at that.
DANNY: He colored it?
- He did.
DANNY: Yeah, looks good.
He colored and he
did some lowlights.
ANDREA: Took the red out.
- Yeah.
DANNY: Paula looks great.
She's definitely
rejuvenated and refreshed,
and I'm sure her morale
is soaring right now.
No Brazilian wax?
No Brazilian wax.
Good thing you'll be
able to walk tomorrow.
Yeah.
I'll see you guys up there.
- OK.
Later, Paula.
Later.
Winning this challenge
today was huge for me.
And gives you a nice
confidence boost.
I'm totally psyched
about tomorrow.
I want to find out my
second surprise is.
I can't wait for that.
NARRATOR: The final three
are just hours from the most
important dinner service yet.
All right, girl.
I'll see you in a few.
All right.
Have a good time.
NARRATOR: But right
now, Chef Ramsay
is ready to take Paula on the
second part of her reward.
Hey.
PAULA: Chef, how are you?
GORDON RAMSAY: You look great.
PAULA: Thank you, thank you.
GORDON RAMSAY: Did you enjoy it?
PAULA: I did.
So we're going to the Fox
Morning Show this morning--
PAULA: Oh!
GORDON RAMSAY: --for a
cooking demo and Good Day LA.
It's live, so there's
no rehearsals, OK?
Wow.
OK?
Wow, that is wild.
I was freaking out a little bit
because, you know, it's live.
My god.
You know, talking on TV
can be a long time if you
don't have anything to say.
GORDON RAMSAY: Here we are.
Fox Studios.
Ladies first.
Glamorous ladies first.
Good Day LA.
PAULA: Yes, it is.
Straight up the
stairs, into the studio.
NARRATOR: While Paula
gets ready for her close,
up back in Hell's Kitchen,
Jean-Philippe has one more
chore for Andrea and Danny.
Second part.
We walk her into
the hallway and bam.
There's mops and vacuums
and a steam cleaner.
There's stuff to clean the
screens on the plasma TVs.
Lets go.
ANDREA: Yay.
I'll get the one side.
You get the other.
DANNY: What a nice
little extra sting.
ANDREA: Oh my god, we
get to watch the news.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
at Fox Studios,
it's the final countdown to
Paula's live television debut.
DIRECTOR: Five, you
got four [inaudible]
CREW: Five, four, three--
DIRECTOR: Do it on the--
actually, there you go.
CREW: --two, one.
DIRECTOR: Music.
STEVE EDWARDS ON TV: All
right, Chef Gordon Ramsay,
why don't you explain--
ANDREA: God!
STEVE EDWARDS ON TV:
--what's going on.
DANNY: Oh, setup.
GORDON RAMSAY ON
TV: --shiny star.
And Paula.
STEVE EDWARDS ON TV: Hey, Paula.
ANDREA: Oh, my god, it's Paula.
GORDON RAMSAY ON TV:
She won the challenge.
DANNY: Oh, no way.
ANDREA: Oh my god.
Paula, you bitch.
God, I want to do that.
That is
awesome.
GORDON RAMSAY: It's great to see
talented female chefs, right?
- Absolutely.
- Yes, it is.
So we're going
to make a salad.
Paula, why don't you
start slicing the apple.
OK.
Michelle, can you do the
same with pine nuts, please,
darling?
In the pan, and toast them?
Oh, Chef Ramsay's a pro when
the camera's on, you know?
This is like a walk
in the park for him.
And are you picking
up the hints from him?
How will you be in the kitchen?
You know what, I'm
taking up tons of--
of goodies from him.
You know what?
I'm already a quarter
of the way there
with-- with him in the kitchen.
But he's intense.
For me, I'm doing this
for the first time.
I'm, like, trying to keep my
nerves down as much as possible
and not freak out.
And this girl is
very, very talented.
So it's healthy
being under pressure.
[laughs]
I missed out on some
of the good PR, you know,
so America could see
this pretty face.
- Gordon, thank you.
- Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Likewise.
"Hell's Kitchen."
GORDON RAMSAY: Good to
see you, my darling.
That was awesome.
All rightie.
All right.
Did you enjoy that?
- I did enjoy that.
- It went so quick.
You were brilliant.
- That was six minutes?
Well done, well done.
You won't forget
that one, will you?
- No, I won't.
- Come here.
Well done.
- Oh, thank you, chef.
Excellent.
I hope Danny, yeah, and
Andrea were tuning in.
[music playing]
[vacuum whirring]
Hello, JP.
- What's up, what's up?
- It looks fabulous.
I'm almost there.
Screen looks perfect.
It's not as shiny as when
Paula was on the screen.
[laughs]
Ah, there she is.
Awesome job.
Awesome job.
PAULA: Pretty kick-ass
morning today.
I still have all this adrenaline
and energy flowing through me.
So I'm going to use that
to my advantage and--
and take it into
service tonight.
Yeah, that was sweet, man.
NARRATOR: In just a few
hours, the final three
will face the biggest dinner
service of their lives.
To get there, of
their competitors
have been eliminated, and the
prize is clearly in sight.
ANDREA: Now I'm in the top
three, and it's like, wow.
You know, this is the last and
final test before the finale.
And I'm f*cking staying.
All right.
How you looking over there?
Good?
We are very close to
the end right now.
Last three.
After tonight,
it'll just be two.
And I'm confident that
I'll-- that I'll be
one of the final two tonight.
Big night, huh, man?
You know, you have a bad day.
Just got to bounce back from it.
I'm still hanging in there.
This is what I came
here for is to win.
So I got this.
I'm going to f*cking be
the best one tonight.
This is it, man.
f*cking do or die right here.
Right.
Let's go.
OK.
Good.
Big, big, big night,
because two of you
will be advancing to the finals.
Sadly, one of you will
be going home, yes.
I need to know who's
worthy of that title
in the Borgata Hotel.
So I can't think of any better
way to put you in the spotlight
than dump you,
literally, on the pass
to see what it's like
running a kitchen
and getting the best
out of your brigade.
Is that clear?
ALL: Yes, chef.
You've all seen
how easy it is.
What is that?
It's not good enough!
Get a grip.
Wake up.
Where's the blasted Wellington?
Communicate!
This is for real.
So get real and make it yours.
ALL: Yes, chef.
Let's go.
Jean-Philippe, open
Hell's Kitchen.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Tonight, every table
is booked in Hell's Kitchen.
And with only three chefs
remaining in the competition,
the pressure is at
an all-time high.
OK, let's go.
NARRATOR: With a
shorthanded kitchen,
Scott and Gloria will
be filling in the gaps.
On order.
Here we go.
Hey, yeah, this one counts, yes?
ALL: Yes, chef.
Sadly, one of
you are going home.
On order, two covers, table .
Two risotto.
Entree, one salmon, one lamb.
ALL: Yes, chef.
I don't want to wait
for this first table.
It's got to go, it's got
to go, it's got to go.
- Coming right now, chef.
- Yeah.
So is f*cking Christmas, madam.
Let's go.
Risottos are up, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Good.
Service, please.
Very nice, that risotto.
Thank you, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.
That's nicely cooked.
Thank you, chef.
NARRATOR: With the
first appetizers out,
Chef Ramsay is ready
for one of the chefs
to try their hand at
running the kitchen.
Paula, pass.
Let's go.
PAULA: I was the first
one up at the pass,
and I'm just a little
bit anxious to--
to get up there,
run the hot plate.
This particular
service, it's important
not to slip up because
this is a different side
that chef has seen now.
You know, he wants to
see a leadership quality.
- You've got to push it, yes?
- Yes, chef.
- You must push it.
- Yes, chef.
Move!
Listen up, you guys!
Away.
Excuse me.
Start over.
Away.
We have one lobster pasta.
Excuse me.
Start over.
Away.
DANNY: Paula seemed
pretty nervous.
And I mean, I think that
really shows a lot of weakness.
On order.
Not away.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: You're like
a mouse with no voice.
Let's go.
- Stand by, you guys.
One risotto, one scallop,
one soup, and one spaghetti.
ALL: Yes, chef!
NARRATOR: Having
found her voice,
Paula will now have to face Chef
Ramsay's first quality control
test, as Chef Gloria
substitutes a squash puree
for a carrot puree.
Carrot puree, please, chef.
Carrot puree coming up.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Taste, taste, taste.
Check the seasoning.
Stop.
Taste the puree.
So what does that taste of?
Come on.
One more taste.
Squash.
GORDON RAMSAY: Yeah.
Look at me.
This is your reputation on
the line, and you as a chef.
That's butternut squash
puree, not carrot.
Redress it.
Carrot puree, please.
Yes, chef.
You know what, Chef Gloria got
me on that butternut squash.
But I've made it this far.
I cannot possibly
start giving up now.
Stand by, guys.
One Dory and three Wellingtons.
f*ring Dory right now, chef.
Chef Scott, clear
down the pass, please
GORDON RAMSAY: Good.
- Clearing down.
NARRATOR: Paula has recovered
from her failed quality control
test.
- All right, guys.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: But another
sabotage dish is already
making its way to the pass.
Macs.
Thank you.
Soup.
Scott, I don't
know what that is,
but it's not the
watercress soup.
Can you redo that, please?
Well done.
That's spinach soup.
Same color, different
f*cking ingredient.
Well spotted.
- Thank you, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Yes, yeah.
PAULA: I was channeling a little
bit of my inner Chef Ramsey.
So I-- I busted
Scott on that one.
All right, guys.
Let's go.
Three Wellingtons, one Dory.
One minute.
Coming right now, chef!
Paula is a solid competitor.
She is a solid chef.
Two Wellingtons,
medium, please.
Let's go!
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Paula has bounced
back from her shaky start
at the pass, and most
of the appetizers
have left the kitchen.
Well done.
Back on the appetizers.
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Now it's another
chef's turn to run the pass.
Right, Danny.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: You coming?
You taste everything.
- Yes, sir.
- You run your f*cking kitchen.
You don't let the
kitchen run you.
They're not your mates.
Is that clear?
- Yes, chef.
Yeah?
Good.
DANNY: I run the pass
every night back home,
and it's-- it's
like second nature.
That's just my home.
I should nail this.
- Come on!
Let's go.
First order in.
Thank you.
I told myself, all
right, read the ticket.
Read the ticket.
Read the ticket.
And then you get up there
and you're like, uh.
All right, listen up.
Table , five covers.
You have one
scallop, one risotto,
one soup, and one spaghetti.
Stop!
It's your job to spot there's
one appetizer missing.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: And
there's no time on there,
so get a f*cking time on there.
Yes, chef.
All right.
- Let's go!
- Jean-Philippe!
GORDON RAMSAY: Now!
You should be spotting it.
I need a time on
this, and I only
got four apps on a five top.
I'm the man in my restaurant.
Chef Ramsay is the man here.
One lamb, two salmon, one--
two salmon, one Wellington.
How long?
It's just a f*cking
little bit intimidating
working next to
this guy when you
know you're being scrutinized.
GORDON RAMSAY: No, Danny.
- Yes, chef?
GORDON RAMSAY: Come on.
That's spaghetti in
the f*cking bowl.
Oh, I'm sorry, chef.
- I don't like it, Danny.
- Yes, chef.
- I don't like it.
- No problem, chef.
I don't like it.
NARRATOR: The normally
confident Danny
is feeling a little
insecure at the pass,
and it's having a negative
impact on the kitchen.
Let's go with scallops!
ANDREA: Plating up
right now, chef!
Egg!
DANNY: Egg and bacon.
Let's go.
Where you going?
Bacon.
Can I get it all
at once, please?
ANDREA: Danny is years old,
and he's talked a big game.
But I just felt that
his age showed tonight.
GORDON RAMSAY: Two
Wellington, one Dory, yes?
Dude, these scallops
are well done, Andrea.
Give me another order, dude.
- Good.
Well done, Danny.
NARRATOR: While Danny correctly
spots a problem with Andrea's
scallops, sous chef
Gloria is creating
a problem with the potatoes.
Garnish please, Gloria.
Behind, chef.
Got Dory coming
up here, Andrea?
ANDREA: Coming right now, chef!
DANNY: Let's go!
Stop.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Touch.
DANNY: It's raw card, chef.
Come on!
Danny!
The skins are on.
You've got to check everything.
They're raw, Danny!
DANNY: Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: No, they're raw.
You put them on, big boy.
Come on.
Let's go!
Got Chef Ramsay standing
there, a full dining room,
and it's the final three.
I just have to focus,
get in the game.
I can do this.
Table .
Three covers.
One scallop, one
spaghetti, one Caesar.
Entrees, one chicken,
one lamb, one Wellington.
ALL: Yes, chef.
- Good.
- Dessert pick up.
GORDON RAMSAY: Good.
You know, he wasn't near as
assertive as I thought he would
be, and then he started,
you know, hitting his stride
towards the end of it.
- All right.
Scallops are working, yes?
Yes, they are, chef.
DANNY: Very good.
- Good man.
Let's go.
Guys, how long on a lobster,
a Caesar, and two scallops?
Good.
Coming up right now
in seconds, chef.
seconds.
Andrea, seconds.
- Yes!
- All right.
Good.
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: It's an hour and
a half into dinner service,
and thanks to a
strong rally by Danny,
diners are enjoying
their entrees.
Delicious.
- Oh, it's yummy.
- Andrea, bingo.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: Now it's Andrea's
turn to take the reins.
- Run your brigade, yes?
- Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Don't
let the brigade run you.
Danny, how long on the
chicken, lamb, Wellington?
seconds.
After that, do we have two
Wellington, two lamb rested?
- Yes, chef.
- Good.
I'm not afraid of
speaking out loud.
A lot of people are
pretty shocked when
I do put on my assertive panties
in the morning and, you know,
get in your face.
Two scallop, one
soup, one risotto.
I need that up to the pass now.
I need two--
I need two minutes now.
- Two minutes.
Two minutes.
NARRATOR: Andrea's
aggressiveness in the kitchen
is keeping everything
moving, and the customers
are happy with the
service and the food.
It's a little piece
of heaven right here.
My compliments to the chef.
NARRATOR: But she's
about to be tested
with the wrong kind of fish.
Come on.
I need Dory now!
Dory right now.
Christmas is coming now.
I need it now!
So is the Dory.
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go.
- Pieces are small.
I gave you one extra.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You happy with that?
Yes, chef.
Stop.
Stop.
Taste the fish,
because it's not Dory.
Are you serious?
GORDON RAMSAY: It's halibut.
ANDREA: Eh, you're wrong.
I was like, f*ck.
f*ck, Bye f*ck.
GORDON RAMSAY: Hey.
Back to the f*cking
culinary school.
ANDREA: That, for
me, was the moment
where I was just like, uh uh.
This is not the
way I'm going out.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Not f*cking happy.
NARRATOR: After failing her
first quality control test,
Andrea is determined to
not let it happen again.
Gloria.
Christ, that's too
much f*cking salt.
Oh, too much?
I'm sorry.
Come on.
Refire it.
Get it right.
Chicken, lamb, Wellington.
Where is it, Danny?
It was seconds.
That was seconds ago.
Got it right now, chef.
Scott, you need
to season this.
Oh, come on.
Dory sauce needs
to be seasoned.
You don't know what the
f*ck you're talking about.
ANDREA: Come on,
I need that Dory!
That Dory's not on!
Where is it?
SCOTT: I'm getting the Dory!
The scallops are in
the pan right now.
Dory's going down.
ANDREA: I loved being up there.
I-- I seriously think that
that was the least nervous
that I've ever felt in Hell's
Kitchen the entire time.
Scott, I want three new eggs.
These look like hell.
- Are you sure?
- I am sure!
Get them on.
OK.
Go f*ck yourself,
you stupid c**t.
Woo.
PAULA: Honestly, I
thought Andrea was,
like, too much over the top.
ANDREA: Scott, these
are raw in the middle!
Are you sure?
They need to be
cooked further, Scott.
How much longer?
seconds longer
in a hot pan.
Come on.
Make that Dory happen fast!
f*ck you.
I'm going to start
losing my f*cking mind.
Where's that Dory?
Let's go!
Cooking it as fast
as it'll let me.
One minute.
ANDREA: He just kept
giving me excuses.
Now I know why Chef Ramsay
is such a f*cking lunatic.
You cook it, it
doesn't cook you, Scott.
We're going to have
a f*cking problem.
PAULA: Andrea.
Man, she was really
rough on Chef Scott.
She was riding him
like a donkey, man.
What the [bleep].
What is going on here, man?
SCOTT: I'm telling
you right now,
I'm going to f*cking
punch her in the face.
DANNY: I knew he was pissed.
Dude, I thought he
was going to k*ll her.
SCOTT: .
seconds on Dory.
Eggs right now.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Finish the scallops.
Come on.
Hurry up.
We're going to be in
the sh*t big time.
These need to be seasoned!
Season these eggs right now.
GORDON RAMSAY: Well spotted.
Thank you, chef.
f*ck you.
Hey, Andrea.
Back on the fish.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: With all
three chefs having taken
a turn running the kitchen--
Let's go, Danny.
It's last table, yes?
Yes, chef.
Let's go, Paula.
NARRATOR: --Chef Ramsay takes
his rightful place at the pass,
and no one is more
relieved than Chef Scott.
- Thank you.
- Let's finish strong, yes?
ALL: Yes, chef!
- Come on, come on.
Come on, Danny!
ALL: Yes, chef!
Come on, Andrea!
Come on, Paula!
Yes, chef.
Garnish is up there, Danny.
Service.
Go please.
Hey, Andrea--
Yes, chef.
--Paula.
Clearly our best service.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Well done.
Thank you, chef.
Hallelujah.
DANNY: Overall, this dinner
service was hard as hell,
and I just hope to
God I make the finale.
f*ck, man.
I'd better not go home.
I'll tell you what.
And that'll make
you feel happy.
Says a lot, chef.
PAULA: This is the
final elimination.
This is vital.
This is it.
You never know what Chef
Ramsay's going to do.
Yeah!
Rock star.
ANDREA: I hit my stride.
And you know, I--
I really felt like I had
one of my strongest services
ever tonight.
Absolutely.
I don't want to leave.
- Switch off, Danny.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Switched.
[music playing]
GORDON RAMSAY: Look closely.
Do you notice
anything different?
Your hair?
My hair?
No, not my f*cking hair.
You have a spot
on your jacket.
No!
What's different?
You're smiling
Exactly!
Exactly.
Bloody hell.
I'm smiling because we had
a bloody great service.
Tonight, you all confirmed
why you are the final three.
Well done.
- Thank you, yes.
GORDON RAMSAY: Really well done.
Thank you, chef.
Now, here's the bad news.
On the back of our best
ever service, one of you
has got to go home.
Here's your assignment
for this evening.
Go back to the dorms and tell me
who should not be in the final
of "Hell's Kitchen."
I am not looking
for a consensus.
I'm looking for your
own individual opinions.
Now go upstairs.
[music playing]
We f*cking kicked ass, guys.
Final three here.
Damn, man.
It's tough.
It's just a tough decision.
There's only three of us.
It's not like we have a
boatload of people to pick from.
Well, I'll start out
if nobody else will.
My vote's Danny.
Because of tonight when
you worked the pass.
I honestly thought you
would be spot on with that
because you've run
restaurants before.
I think that I've been a
pretty damn strong competitor
throughout this whole thing.
I think I've been at
the top of my game,
at the top of everyone's game.
Andrea based everything on me at
the pass because that's all she
has.
There's nothing else
negative to say about me.
As far as the pass goes, I don't
think that you really did good.
I think that you were
just talking a lot.
I caught a lot tonight.
DANNY: I think that you
were just nitpicking a lot.
That-- that was my
standard, though, Danny.
So what if he thinks
that I was nitpicking?
I applied my standards
to those dishes.
I don't have to justify
that to anybody.
I just think
that I've just been
stronger than you throughout
the whole competition.
I mean, I beg to differ.
I'm going to vote for you.
Well, I knew that was coming.
Well, I guess that
leaves it down to me.
I definitely feel relieved
that neither one of them
nominated me.
But it's kind of an
uncomfortable situation.
I don't know who
to send up there.
Honestly I don't know.
[dramatic music]
OK.
Let's start with Andrea.
Who is it?
My personal decision
is Danny, chef.
I felt like he was not loud and
I felt like he was very nervous
and did not deliver
on the pass, chef.
Danny.
Who should not be in
the final two and why?
Andrea should not be
in the final two, chef.
I just don't feel
like she's performed
throughout this competition
as strongly as I have.
I definitely deserve to be
here more than her, chef.
Paula.
Who should we eliminate
tonight and why?
Chef, my vote is for Andrea.
Andrea has a lot
of strengths, but
throughout the
entire competition
she has struggled several
times during service.
And tonight, I felt that
she was a little bit
overconfident being up
there for the first time.
Right.
My decision is Paula.
You belong in the final two.
Well done.
Thank you, chef.
Andrea, tell me why you
think you should join Paula.
I have assertiveness.
I have leadership in
the kitchen, chef.
Never once did I
falter at the pass.
And I know that I
can finish what I've
started to come here for, chef.
Danny.
Why should you join
Paula in the final?
A lot of chefs get up here
and they say, you know, this is
all that they know how to do.
You know what?
f*ck that, chef.
This is all I want to do.
You know that I
have what it takes
to run the restaurant Borgata.
OK.
The person leaving Hell's
Kitchen this evening
and not advancing to
the final is Andrea.
Take your jacket off, my dear
lady, and leave Hell's Kitchen.
Let me just say this.
You are one hell of
a determined fighter.
An asset in any kitchen.
Thank you, chef.
It's been an honor.
GORDON RAMSAY: You have
a lot to be proud of.
- Thank you.
- I really mean that.
Well done, my darling.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: In terms
of flavor, it's spot on.
We have a spring chicken soup.
It is indicative of you
coming into manhood.
Andrea, well done.
ANDREA: "Hell's Kitchen" for
me has been one intense ride.
I have given everything
that I possibly could.
Pile of sh*t!
What are you doing?
Trying to get
it together, chef.
You can't even
f*cking admit when
you've done something wrong.
I don't feel like I've
done anything wrong.
I definitely have been
through some gnarly moments.
This is not going to break me.
This is what happens when
we don't work as a team.
We wind up eating
f*cking sh*t together.
But that's what life is about.
It's about figuring out who
you are, how much you can take,
how much you've grown.
- Andrea!
Yes, chef?
GORDON RAMSAY: Wellington's
cooked perfectly.
Yes, chef.
Thank you.
I came.
I performed.
I gave it my best, and
I'm taking the bronze home
as far as I'm concerned.
I leave with no bitter
taste in my mouth.
I leave with no
regrets whatsoever.
Danny, you can breathe now.
Relax a little bit.
Yes, chef.
Bloody well done
to both of you.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you, chef.
You are the final two.
But listen.
Your biggest test
begins right now.
Oh!
NARRATOR: Next time
on "Hell's Kitchen."
We started with , and
there's only two of you left.
I can't even describe it.
It's just such a
great feeling, man.
Woo.
Got a lot of work to do.
NARRATOR: Two Floridians,
Danny and Paula,
prepare for an epic battle.
It's going to be
a stiff competition.
This is all the marbles.
NARRATOR: They'll
redesign Hell's Kitchen.
So I want to, like, try
and work in, like, melon fish
somewhere.
Not into that?
NARRATOR: Create
their own menus.
You happy with that?
I am.
NARRATOR: And be
shocked by surprise.
Oh my god!
What?
NARRATOR: After surprise.
We're off to Atlantic City.
NARRATOR: Then back
in Hell's Kitchen,
when six eliminated
contestants return--
WOMAN: They're probably
like, oh, f*ck,
I got to work with her.
NARRATOR: --not everyone is
happy with the circumstances.
I thought it was
going to be me.
NARRATOR: Who will prove have
what it takes to be head chef
at Borgata in Atlantic City?
Will it be Danny, the executive
chef from Edgewater, Florida?
DANNY: My biggest test
definitely lies before me.
NARRATOR: Or Paula,
the executive sous
chef from Pompano, Florida?
PAULA: Today is a day
when it all happens.
NARRATOR: It's a jam-packed--
Oh!
NARRATOR: --thrilling--
Woo!
This is what I came here for.
NARRATOR: --special
episode of "Hell's Kitchen"
you don't want to miss.
