NARRATOR: Previously
on "Hell's Kitchen."
Failure is not an option.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on.
NARRATOR: A weak performance
by Robert and Jim--
Oh.
Come on.
You produce nothing.
NARRATOR: --cause the blue team
to lose the sausage challenge.
Embarrassing.
NARRATOR: Robert's frustration--
You better watch your
mother f*cking mouth.
NARRATOR: --had him
mixing it up with Kevin.
[chattering]
- What did I say to ?
I'm done with this sh*t.
NARRATOR: Which led
to a total meltdown.
Who has time with
this f*cking sh*t.
Just keep it together, y'all.
NARRATOR: After injuring
his arm the week before--
I am in so much
pain right now.
NARRATOR: Dave got bad
news from the doctor.
DOCTOR (ON PHONE): David,
you have a fracture.
NARRATOR: But after a heart
to heart with Chef Ramsay--
I'm so committed to working
for you, nothing could stop me.
NARRATOR: --Dave
decided to courageously
fight through the pain and
stay in the competition--
MAN: Keep it up, Dave.
You're doing great.
NARRATOR: --keeping his
dream of becoming head chef
at Araxi Restaurant
and Bar in Whistler,
British Columbia alive.
At dinner service,
in the blue kitchen,
Andy's inability to cook meat--
Hey, look.
There you go.
That's the Araxi Restaurant
in Whistler, yes?
f*ck off, will you?
NARRATOR: --nearly cost
the men the victory.
Put a little lamb into it.
Hurry
NARRATOR: Up.
In the red kitchen, Tek's
over-seasoned appetizers--
I felt like I was a cow,
and I went over the Salt Lake,
and I went [slurping]
NARRATOR: --and Lovely's
unseasoned sides--
There's no care.
No salt, no pepper, no taste.
NARRATOR: --kept the women
winless at dinner service.
You lost.
NARRATOR: Sabrina had her
best performance yet--
I'm the best of the worst.
NARRATOR: And she
chose to nominate--
Tek.
NARRATOR: And--
Lovely.
NARRATOR: --for elimination.
Let's be honest.
You both were crap.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay
said goodbye to--
Lovely, take your jacket off
and leave "Hell's Kitchen."
CHEF RAMSAY: If people were
named for their cooking,
her name wouldn't be Lovely.
It would be useless.
[theme music]
NARRATOR: And now, the
continuation of "Hell's
Kitchen."
I was on the chopping block
for the first time ever.
Yeah, I mean, like, I know
I f*cked up the first table,
but--
It's just frustrating
because I clearly can cook,
and I'm not used to
being counted out.
I might need a
chicken pot pie.
Do we have any of those.
Yeah, in the freezer.
Yes, thank you.
I feel like I am definitely
at a disadvantage.
I don't have a thumb on
my left hand to work with.
It's completely, uh, immobile.
Are you all right, Dave?
No, I'm OK.
Even though I have one arm,
I'm not out of this game.
I'm here to win,
and nothing else.
Do you want me to
hold that for you?
No, I have to be able
to like, do things myself.
[crashing]
[laughing]
DAVE: Dude.
NARRATOR: As a new day
dawns in "Hell's Kitchen,"
the teams prepare to face
their next challenge.
[grunting]
[shouting]
And And this morning,
they will not
only have to
impress Chef Ramsay,
but his special guest as well.
This is Mrs. Latasha James.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hello.
Latasha's husband is
Staff Sergeant Otis James,
United States Marine Corps.
He just finished a -month
tour of duty in Iraq.
He literally just flew
in from Iraq last night.
Daddy.
CHEF RAMSAY: His
wife and children
were there to welcome him home.
Now, tomorrow
night, we are going
to be hosting the most amazing
welcome home surprise party
for Staff Sergeant Otis James.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
Hell, yeah.
I love Marines.
It's going to be such an
honor cooking for this guy.
Hoo-rah, you know?
CHEF RAMSAY: Now, this
is your next challenge.
Each team will come up with
one stunning appetizer, two
stunning entrees,
and then Latasha
and I will be
tasting those dishes.
Robert and Suzanne?
Yes, chef.
Step into my office.
Both of you.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: As part of a
tasting menu challenge,
Chef Ramsay will also be
testing how well the chefs
listen and communicate.
Robert and Suzanne
must learn Staff
Sergeant James'
likes and dislikes
and convey those to their teams.
My husband is a
big seafood fan.
OK.
He loves shrimp
and baked potatoes.
Do you and your husband
enjoy like, southern cooking?
Mm-hm.
What I was hearing
was soul food.
I'm like, baby, I could
kiss you right now.
That's my bag, man.
Mwah.
- All right.
If you had to name
maybe your favorite dish
that you absolutely can't
live without at this part,
what would it be?
Grilled lobster tail.
OK, great.
And you guys are,
obviously, dainty eaters,
or like, you like to get down?
We like to get down.
We do.
All right.
Any other questions.
Um, I'm good.
Robert?
Oh, I'm going to
have fun with this.
Latasha, please join
us in the dining room.
Thank you.
When we talked to Latasha I
automatically started thinking
about dishes that I know.
This is a great opportunity
for me to showcase my talent.
OK.
Suzanna, Robert,
make sure and debrief
your teams properly with
that valuable information
that Latasha--
has just shared with you.
Are we ready?
ALL: Yes, chef.
minutes from now.
Let's go.
In the kitchen.
Listen, guys.
He likes steak, grilled shrimp.
He likes lobster.
NARRATOR: Both
teams must come up
with a tasting menu
consisting of one
appetizer and two entrees.
The winning team's
dishes will be
served at the homecoming party.
Now, it is up to Suzanne--
Look for lobster.
Look for catfish.
No.
NARRATOR: --and Robert--
He wants beef, surf and turf.
Fried catfish.
There you go.
NARRATOR: --to convey the
guest of honor's preferences.
Listen, guys.
Twice baked potato.
Lots of bacon.
Lots of cheese.
Yeah, but we don't have
time to bake a potato.
Do twice baked mash.
Let's hook them up.
I got the sour cream.
I got the mash going.
And you're doing
an app, right?
I got a nice seafood
with potato, tomato, spicy.
It's kind of like
a bouillabaisse.
Robert gave us a
clear cut direction.
Country style.
We all picked a task,
and we all ran with it.
He was directing, but
he wasn't dictating.
That was perfect.
Make it awesome.
Make it awesome.
f*ck yeah, man.
NARRATOR: While Robert
has a collaborative style
of leadership, Suzanne--
Somebody put potatoes on?
No asparagus.
NARRATOR: --takes a
different approach.
All right.
So chopped rosemary,
olive oil goes on there.
Salt and pepper.
What kind of sauce do
we want for the steak?
I don't know if
they're into sauce.
No sauce at all?
No like, crab sauce?
Nothing?
No, they're not
really into that.
Maybe like, a jambalaya
sauce or something?
SUZANNE: No, that's
not what we're doing.
What does he like?
Suzanne never once
actually communicated
what it was that Staff
Sergeant James liked.
We weren't on nobody's
agenda but Suzanne's.
Come over here.
You need to saute the
bacon and then toss
the spinach in and hold it.
Suzanne,
minutes to go, yes?
minutes, chef.
Let's go.
You know, I just came
up with the structure,
and then all they had
to do was execute it.
It was a good system.
Robert, keep pushing it, yes?
Yes, chef.
How's them greens, good?
Make you want
to slap yo' mama.
Suzanne, last five.
- Five minutes.
- Let's go.
SUZANNE: Does everybody
feel good with this menu?
Five minutes left.
Suzanne, it's five minutes left.
Why are you asking me now
how I feel about the menu?
Three and a half
minutes on the clock.
Let's go.
- OK, guys.
I'm going to start
plating up soon.
Do you have a
doily or something?
Grilled lobster, good.
Or not doing grilled.
Baked.
Anyone seen a doily?
Suzanne?
I'm putting more
tarragon in it.
Way better.
seconds left.
Do you think it
needs to go on a doily?
Hurry, hurry.
Plate this food.
CHEF RAMSAY: Five, four,
three, two one, stop.
All of you, come here.
ARIEL: I'm worried
that this menu doesn't
have enough oomph to it.
But Suzanne was upstairs,
so I have to trust her.
OK.
Appetizers first.
All right.
Ariel.
Latasha, we have
here today a Caesar
style salad with baked prawns.
Mm.
Excellent.
Mm.
That's good.
He would like that.
CHEF RAMSAY: Very good.
Now this is Kevin.
Please explain, please.
We have a spicy
seafood-style bouillabaisse.
Oh, yes.
That is good.
He would really like that.
- OK.
Two great appetizers.
Would you prefer red
or blue, Latasha?
Wow.
I would have to
go with the salad.
Yes.
CHEF RAMSAY: Ladies, one-nil.
Well done.
You know what?
You give a woman a salad,
she's going to pick it
nine out of times.
Whatever.
Move on.
All right.
Andy and Amanda.
We have a bacon-wrapped
filet with some grilled shrimp.
From my perspective, the
girls' dish looked like sh*t.
Bacon was all falling off.
That's good.
I'm sure it tasted good,
but it didn't look that good.
OK.
Andy.
This is a four cheese
macaroni, stewed collards,
and a buttermilk fried catfish.
Wow.
That sounds good.
Macaroni and cheese
is so played out.
I mean, come on.
That's really, really good.
CHEF RAMSAY: Which
one of these would
you like to see on the menu?
One from the red team, or
is it from the blue team?
Hands down, blue.
CHEF RAMSAY: Excellent.
Well done.
One point for the men.
We have a tie of one each.
OK.
Suzanne and Robert.
NARRATOR: With the score tied,
it all comes down to the team
leaders, Suzanne and Robert.
Wow.
Suzanne.
We have a broiled lobster
tail for you today with
a seafood [inaudible]
pasta with a light
white wine seafood sauce.
All right.
Sounds good.
Good.
Oh, that is very good.
Oh, we got this in the bag.
This is awesome.
And Robert, please.
Sure, this is a bone-in
New York strip that is Cajun
rubbed, served with a
twice baked potato mash
and a grilled lobster tail.
Wow.
You grilled it.
Yeah.
That is something big for him.
Grilled.
Didn't you pay
attention, Suzanne?
Grilled lobster tail.
You understand what I'm saying?
Very delicious.
CHEF RAMSAY: OK.
Now, the tough call.
I mean, two great dishes.
Which one would you prefer
on the menu tomorrow night
at such a significant dinner?
Is it from the red team, or is
it from the blue team, Latasha?
I'm going to have to
go with the fellows.
[cheering]
Woo.
Big Daddy's back.
Good job.
Good job.
Latasha, thank
you, my darling.
Thank you.
I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow.
Yes?
Thank you so much.
OK.
Thank you.
I hate losing.
I'm so pissed off
that if I didn't
think I would have
to pay for it,
I'd be breaking sh*t right now.
OK.
Men, you are going to be
fighter pilots for the day.
You're going to be
onboard a real fighter
jet doing maneuvers,
acrobats, experiencing
a thrill of a lifetime.
Ever since I was a little boy,
I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
Today, kids, dreams come true.
Now, , ladies you
will be redecorating
this whole dining room
ahead of this special event.
Yes?
Yes, chef.
I hate losing.
OK.
Gents, go upstairs.
Get ready.
I'll call you when I need you.
Off you go.
Thank you, chef.
Yo, country boy.
[inaudible] country.
This is disappointment
at Suzanne time.
Suzy didn't communicate
key words to us that would
have been important to our win.
We never heard the
word soul food.
That would have taken
our dishes in a totally
different direction.
I don't understand why
this has all come down on me.
We all made good dishes.
We all made everything
that she wanted.
She's upstairs,
extremely pissed right now.
SABRINA: Tennille really
wanted to do some soul food.
Maybe like, a jambalaya
sauce or something?
No, that's not
what we're doing.
Suzanne squashed Tennille's
idea like a little bug.
So I don't blame
her for being mad.
I'm a little upset myself.
I said, well, I can make a
jambalaya sauce for the pasta.
But I think that my
pasta was just fine.
OK.
But how do you
know that my pasta
wouldn't have been outstanding?
It wasn't your boat
to drive completely.
Man, if Suzanne doesn't
know that she screwed
this one for us, she's crazy.
NARRATOR: While, the women
are hung up on their loss,
the men that gear
up for their reward.
This is a chance
of a lifetime,
to go up in a fighter jet.
This is going to be a
really great experience.
We're stoked.
We're pumped.
We jump out, there's
airplanes everywhere.
Gonna do some flips.
We felt the need for
speed today, baby.
NARRATOR: As the men
prepare for takeoff,
Chef Ramsay prepares the red
team for their punishment,
decorating Hell's Kitchen for
the hero's surprise party.
OK.
There's only one person I could
trust to coordinate this event.
My wife, Tana.
Hi, darling.
How are you?
Good to see you.
Mwah.
Dang.
For someone so mean
like Chef Ramsay,
he sure can snag a
good looking wife.
Right.
So, listen carefully
and work hard.
Is that clear?
- Yes, chef.
- Good.
Good luck.
OK.
So the first thing to do.
We've got the bunting.
Just make sure that each side
is at exactly the same place
so it mirrors each side.
Keeping it really
simple, but precise.
Really, really precise.
OK?
- OK.
Yeah.
This is definitely
Chef Ramsay's wife.
And then we got the fun bits.
We come here, and on the
trolley here, you can see
we have all the centerpieces.
So you put the centerpiece here,
and then you put the ribbons,
which are on the end of the
trolley, and one of each color
all the way around.
It's not too much
clutter on the table.
We have a long day
of work ahead of us.
NARRATOR: The women's day
is looking less than rosy.
But for the men, it's
nothing but blue skies.
MAN: Yeah!
[laughing] Awesome brother.
We get up there, and the
pilot's showing you what to do.
And then he goes, you got it.
And then he just sits back,
and you're going, holy sh*t.
I'm flying this friggin plane.
[laughing]
We fly up in formation.
Nice and slow, with
everything smooth.
And then it's just a
one on one dog fight.
All right, Ben.
Here I go.
What happens is you're
coming at each other,
and you both go up.
So he got away [inaudible].
See him over there?
ANDY: And you try to cut
around and behind them.
ANDY: And then we pull out, and
we come back and circle around.
All right, Jim.
Here I come for you.
MAN: All right.
Nice sh*t.
[laughing]
That was f*cking awesome.
MAN: Nice work, men.
NARRATOR: While the fun for
the men comes to an end,
for the women, it's
just beginning.
(HIGH PITCHED VOICE) Hurry up.
When I saw that helium
t*nk, I was like, yeah,
we could have some fun.
Suzanna.
You be careful, lady.
I gave up helium
when I was about five.
That stuff's no good for you.
Do Chef Ramsay.
(HIGH PITCHED VOICE)
What are you trying to do?
k*ll someone?
[laughing]
There you go.
[popping]
[laughing]
Yeah, boy.
[laughing]
Yo, we was doing
flips and sh*t.
They walked in, their swagger.
Hey, doing loop di loops.
(HIGH PITCHED VOICE) We hope
you had a really bad time.
Boys, you got nothing on
Tom Cruise or Val Kilmer.
You guys are dorks.
Everything we did today,
we can just [inaudible]..
It's awesome, dude.
The pressure is gone.
The game plan is
just to kick ass
and keep this momentum rolling.
We're going to just crush them.
Good morning,Chef.
Good morning, Chef.
NARRATOR: Tonight
is Staff Sergeant
James's homecoming party, and
the red team is on a mission.
The girls have not won
a dinner service yet.
Tonight's the night, baby.
Tonight's the nice night.
NARRATOR: For this
special event,
the menu will feature
the blue team's dishes.
Are we making this
cheesy garlic bread?
You just have to find out
those recipes from, um, Robert.
NARRATOR: So the women will
have to rely on the men
to teach them the recipes.
We gotta rock this
out today, boys.
Damn sure don't want them
b*ating us with our menu.
It really is important that
the blue team bury the girls.
What the f*ck did
you put in there?
What do you mean?
What are all
those little specks?
The blue team will do
whatever it takes to win.
What about the collard greens?
I didn't do that, so
you're gonna want to talk
to those guys about that, OK?
It's the guys' menu.
We got to go talk to the guys
every time we do something.
But they will not offer
up complete information.
Suzanne, did
Kevin talk anything
about like, tail on on the
shrimp at all, or tail off?
No.
I have no doubt the blue
team is sabotaging us.
Guys, I'm very worried
that everybody doesn't
know what they're doing.
- I'm a little worried too.
This is crap, man.
Cut throat bullshit.
You want to make it count.
Yes?
[inaudible]
The little blue team set
us up for getting our asses
kicked by Chef
Ramsay later tonight.
We got this, baby.
We got this.
Which isn't going to happen.
We're going to get it right,
and we're going to win.
Right.
Are you ready?
NARRATOR: Hell's Kitchen is
moments away from opening.
Let's go, yes?
NARRATOR: Tensions are
high, and Chef Ramsay
has a piece of advice to
help the teams succeed.
Right.
One pivotal word that's
tonight's service is
going to hinge on is teamwork.
What is it?
ALL: Teamwork.
I can't hear you.
ALL: Teamwork.
This is an important service.
This guys is coming
back from Iraq.
We gotta bring it.
JP, open Hell's
Kitchen, please.
NARRATOR: Tonight's special
menu features the Guest
of Honor's favorite
foods, including
stuffed mushrooms,
fried catfish,
and a grilled surf and turf.
I have the stuffed
portobello mushroom.
NARRATOR: He has no idea
that friends and family
he hasn't seen in
more than two years
are here in Hell's Kitchen.
OK, everyone.
He's just outside.
We need absolute silence.
[cheering]
That was super emotional.
Seeing him come in
was just special.
He looked very surprised.
I got a little teary
eyed during that.
On behalf of all of us
here in Hell's Kitchen,
it's an absolute honor
to welcome you here.
Cheers.
Excellent.
[applause]
Now, look around.
Clearly, this room is filled
with friends and family.
But we do have
one more surprise.
This party would not be
complete without a VIP guest.
You haven't seen this
individual in years.
Please welcome your mom.
[applause]
Oh, baby.
Seeing his oldest boy.
You just saw how proud he was.
His dad's a hero.
Here we go, guys.
Yes, you won the challenge.
You get the privilege of cooking
for Staff Sergeant Otis James.
Table six.
[inaudible] start with
three shrimp cocktail.
Entree, three cheeseburger,
four New York strip.
Get them on now.
ALL: Yes, chef.
Four salad, three shrimp.
We got five minutes.
Five minutes.
We got it.
I'm ready to take
it to the house.
Make sure this marine
has a good homecoming.
Four Caesar.
Where's the chicken?
Right here, chef.
Serve this, please.
Keep it going, yes?
It was so zen-like for me.
It was just like,
flowing really good.
And I really felt we were
just working as a team.
NARRATOR: Van and
Andy are advancing
quickly on appetizers.
Meanwhile, in the red kitchen,
Sabrina is on the front line.
Mushrooms are in?
Mushrooms are in, Chef.
Where's the Caesar salad?
- Right here, Chef.
- Right here.
Give me the mushroom.
I need one more.
Yes, it's coming chef.
Now.
- Where's the other mushroom?
- Coming now.
Oh, come on.
Send it.
Come back for that, yeah?

Where's the mushroom?
- Come on.
Where's my mushrooms?

f*cking stone cold.
What are you doing?
Just touch that there.
Touch.
No, really?
f*ck.
Yes, chef.
Oopsie doopsie.
So send the other two then.
Any ideas now?
Where's Waldo?
You really making
me look stupid now.
I f*cking trusted you,
then, for one second.
Yes, Chef.
I turn my back,
and I get screwed.
Yes, Chef.
Two f*cking piping hot
mushrooms, one stone cold.
sh*t.
One mushroom in the oven chef.
That's just not a good start.
We haven't won a dinner service,
so we can't lose anymore.
One mushroom coming now, Chef.
Where's the mushroom?
Right here, Chef.
Thank you very much.
NARRATOR: The women have finally
managed to serve appetizers
to their first table.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
in the blue kitchen--
I am down to my last two here.
NARRATOR: --the men--
Service table three, please.
NARRATOR: --have completed
all of their appetizers.
- That's it.
- That's it?
- Board is clear.
- OK.
Great.
Because we're done here.
NARRATOR: With the blue diners
enjoying their first course--
Delicious.
NARRATOR: --it's now up to
Jim on the grill station
to keep up the momentum.
Listen up, New York Strip,
two medium well, two well done.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Hey, Jim, make sure you're
keeping a count on your steaks.
It's a lot more popular than
we thought it was going to.
Yes, chef.
After that, five New
York Strip, one rare.
Four normal.
As soon as the
first four steaks
came in and then another five,
behind that I went, so this is
the game we're playing tonight.
It's Steak-O-Rama here
in Hell's Kitchen.
So I'm going to try to
be your backup [inaudible]..
Yeah.
All the tickets are coming in,
and Jim's getting just bombed.
I'm a little bit worried right.
Now but I will bail him out
because I'm the f*cking man.
Hey, five New York strip.
How long?
Jim doesn't even answer me.
Who's counting it down, Jim?
Five minutes, chef.
Five minutes.
Jim.
Jim.
Have you switched off?
No, I have not switched off.
So what's going next?
Right now is one rare, four--
Hey, Van.
Van-- no, stop.
You'll burn someone.
What is it?
Tell me quickly.
He's not looking.
Four mid-rare, one rare.
When people get all
f*cked up like that,
it's cool, because
I sit back because I
know I can bail him out.
So it makes me look like a hero.
Kevin.
Yes, chef?
Can you tell Jim
what's going next?
I just did, Chef.
Thank you very much.
This is fun.
Staff Sergeant James, come on.
Yes, Chef.
Mid-wells.
Mid-wells.
CHEF RAMSAY: Three
cheeseburger first, yes?
Staff Sergeant James.
Serve this, please.
That steak is good.
Mm.
NARRATOR: The guest of honor
is pleased with his meal.
In the red kitchen--
Serve this, please.
NARRATOR: --Sabrina
and Amanda have finally
completed their appetizers.
You're so awesome.
NARRATOR: Now the pressure is
on Tek on the grill station
to get out the entrees.
Five New York
strop, one chicken.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
Louder.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
You need to organize
them a little bit
better so we can get more on.
I know.
I'm going to.
Just chill for a second.
This is my station, and
I know what I'm doing.
So back off.
Stand by, yes?
A white [inaudible],, five
New York strip, one chicken.
She's not even answering me.
Got a strip coming up now.
No one's got my back here.
Five strip, one
chicken, walking up now.
Let's go then.
Where's the strip?
Five orders.
f*ck off, Tek.
Tek.
That's f*cking-- that's
still blue in there.
Yeah, just touch
that on top there.
Touch.
Come on.
Touch it, Suzanna.
Touch.
Get it back in the oven now.
Fingers are going
right through.
It's blue.
Do you have room to
start grilling up more.
Yeah, I will, in one second.
These are flatter, OK?
These are thinner.
There were like five people
working a one person station.
Like, I know how to cook.
I'm not a f*cking dumb-ass.
Unfortunately, there
aren't numerous hot places
on the grill.
- OK.
Mark 'em and throw
them in the oven.
I got a degree
oven back here.
You can't rely on that grill
to cook your food for you.
The grill has a
purpose in that moment,
and that purpose is
to mark your food,
and then you finish
it in the oven.
Where's the steaks?
Coming up withe steaks.
Now they're burnt.
I am f*cking so upset.
That's nice and cooked.
That's nice and cooked.
And what are they for?
They're black.
How can I serve that and
that on the same table, Tek?
Sorry, Chef.
I'm so embarrassed.
What's the matter
with you, Madam.
Have the dining room
have got their entrees.
Your half is standing staring.
Tek talks more of a game,
but if she can't back it up,
she's going home.
This week [inaudible]
for you, madam.
Hey, madam, this is f*cking
serious, and you're sh*t.
This is [inaudible]
get out of my sight.
Come on.
Jesus.
All Tek to do
was mark the steaks
and throw them in
the oven real quick.
Listen.
Listen.
Tek, how long is that
steak going to take?
Two minutes in the convection.
- How long?
- Two minutes.
Two minutes.
Start cooking all those meats.
Cook it, cook it, cook it.
Dude, make sure this
side doesn't get burnt.
When there's nine people like,
yelling and grabbing things,
it's hard to
maintain your focus.
And it's just frustrating.
NARRATOR: While the women try to
move Tek and her steaks along,
the men are successfully
sending out entrees.
Two chicken, one penne.
NARRATOR: But one member of
the blue team is still worried.
Dave, you got
to get them going
now, in a pan in the oven.
I am a little concerned
for Dave and his hand.
Can I pop them off for you?
No, dude, it's chill.
I got it.
Jesus.
You're freaking me out, Andy.
All right, dude.
Relax.
No, like, I appreciate
your help, but--
All right.
Got it.
I got it.
- You what I'm saying?
I have my routine.
Resume
Get the f*ck off
my station, dude.
Because I know what I'm doing.
Once I start f*cking up,
then you can get on my balls.
NARRATOR: With Dave
single-handedly delivering
another entree to the pass--
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
NARRATOR: --diners on the blue
side are enjoying their food.
It's good.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, not a
single diner on the red side
has received an entree.
I just wish I was
over there, because they
got their food already.
- Come on.
You got to hurry up, ladies.
Yeah?
Yes, chef.
Can we get one burger out?
Tek, what's going?
Five New York strips.
I got the burger
working right now, chef.
Have the cheeseburgers
just gone on?
Yes, Chef.
Oh, f*ck off.
Dear god, she's a mess.
Tek, come here, you.
Yes, Chef?
Come here.
What are you doing?
You're not even with me.
Yes, I am, Chef.
I didn't hear the burger order.
I'm sorry.
- Get it out.
Yes, Chef.
I will get it out right now.
Thank you, Chef.
Come on, guys.
I got this.
I got this.
I really can't believe
this is happening.
We haven't sent out anything.
Tek, do something.
NARRATOR: While Tech starts
over on the first entrees,
in the blue kitchen, it's
Jim who's getting grilled.
Hey Jim, touch it
with your fingers.
You've got control
with your fingers.
- Yes, Chef.
- There, touch.
There we go.
They're ready.
When you got a tong and you're
stabbing it, stabbing it,
stabbing it.
You don't perform an
appendicitis, you f*ck.
Yes, Chef.
I'm going to go
up with steaks.
Can I go?
There's one saving grace
there tonight, that f*cking
Kevin's standing behind him.
- Right behind you.
Right behind you.
Coming down, gentlemen.
Chef Ramsay seems
to pick on Jim,
but I think Jim did a great job.
Guys, I need drawn butter.
- Behind, behind, behind.
- Too much, too much.
I got 'em.
- Right behind.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
I was already on it.
Already doing it.
Catfish garnish, let's go.
I had my station
under control,
but I was being
shortchanged on the credit.
Steaks right now.
Right now.
Because Kevin likes
to look like Superman.
- Last ticket.
- Going to the pass.
Let me take it.
NARRATOR: With Kevin's help,
Jim manages to send out
the blue team's final entree.
I got the grill off, guys, OK?
Hey, guys, I need
dessert plates.
In the red kitchen,
Tek's first entrees
are finally ready to go.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: But a crucial
element of he surf and turf--
Where's the lobster?
NARRATOR: --is
missing in action.
Where's the lobster?
Right here, Chef.
I saw Tek in a panic,
so I just took over.
I just wanted to
get the food out.
Come on.
This is not possible.
Come here.
All of you, come here.
Whatever it is,
it's not my fault.
This is not f*cking possible.
This cannot be true.
What is that there?
What is that there?
What is that?
This is--
That is f*cking raw.
Raw.
Come on, Amanda.
All you had to do was put
the lobster on the grill,
make sure it didn't char,
baste it, and send it up.
That's all you had to deal.
It's a f*cking
restaurant, not a sushi bar.
How can you get confused with
raw f*cking grilled lobster.
I don't know where
to go, I can't even
turn around and look
in the dining room,
I'm so f*cking embarrassed.
This is still first table.
That's their last.
f*ck off.
We haven't sent an entree out.
NARRATOR: It's an
hour and a half
into the homecoming
party, and unbelievably,
none of the red diners--
Yeah, but we're
not getting served.
NARRATOR: --have
received an entree.
Stupid cows.
Oh, f*cking hell.
Hey, have you finished?
- Dessert, Chef.
- Desserts.
Kevin, stay on desserts.
All of you, come in here.
Yes, Chef.
Hey, guys, get on a
section, will you, please?
Yes.
Oh.
Add insult to injury,
rub salt in wound.
What just happened?
Away now.
Two penne, three New York
strip, two chicken, one catfish.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
[shouting] Yeah, boys.
That's right.
I can hear it.
It's them b*tches crying.
Do you need anything?
No, I'm good.
JIM: There was just scraps
of meat just everywhere.
It was a kitchen-pocalypse,
like a hand grenade
went off in a cow's ass.
Normal, medium, well done.
Yeah?
Let's go.
NARRATOR: Now that the men have
taken over the red kitchen,
entrees are finally making their
way out to the dining room.
[cheering]
Your mac and cheese
needs two minutes.
The girls team had a complete
collapse of the system.
Last ticket.
Let's go.
Serve this, please.
We went over, put a
bow on it, and that's it.
NARRATOR: With
Kevin finishing up
desserts for the blue kitchen
and the rest of them men
completing the red
team's tickets--
We need lobster, guys.
NARRATOR: --the entire dining
room has finally been served.
Gentlemen, Thank you.
f*ck off to your kitchen.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
- Ladies?
ALL: Yes, Chef?
That was no f*cking
hero's welcome.
That was pathetic at its best.
Yes, Chef.
Clear down.
Oh, I'm so mad right now.
I'm so frustrated.
We should have been able
to get that stuff out.
And I don't to
like, dog my team,
but I can work with
incompetent people.
NARRATOR: Tonight's dinner
service was another high point
in Hell's Kitchen.
It's been an
absolute pleasure.
I hope you enjoyed your evening.
- Thank you.
Good to see you
Thank you.
NARRATOR: But only one
team rose to the occasion.
Men, you saved the evening.
Thank you.
Ladies, that was crap.
Before you even sent
one entree, the men
have completed every entree.
And they're half injured.
Raw lobster tail, blue steaks.
No teamwork, no communication,
and just a complete meltdown.
I was dying there.
You guys are slipping fast.
Hold a meeting now,
and based on everything
that you've witnessed not just
tonight, but every service so
far in Hell's Kitchen, and think
hard about which two women you
want to drop from your team.
Is that clear?
ALL: Yes, Chef.
Piss off, will you?
Yes, chef.
Crap.
Good job, boys.
We knock them out the box.
We just buried them.
It was ugly.
Yeah!
[laughing]
Blue team is whooping
it up right now.
It was a nice win.
I agree.
We have to get rid
of the weakest links.
Chef told us, look at the
weakest people on your team.
Who's the worst out of them?
I don't know.
You could kind of
take your pick.
At this point, it's
basically, who can cook
and who can't cook?
I know how to cook.
Like, I was psyched
to jump on the grill.
Like, I've done
it , times.
But I'm not used to
like, marking sh*t off
and finishing it in the oven.
Every time you're at a
station, you say that, though.
The grill should have only
been used for one thing,
mark it and get
it off the grill.
All you had to do
was just listen to me.
You know, I had a bad service.
But I don't want
to f*cking go home.
I want to be here.
I want to be here at the end.
I'm really sorry guys to
have f*cked up this service.
Like, the first table, like--
That first table,
that went out raw.
I'm sick of this sh*t.
No more f*cking p*ssy footing.
No more girls are girls.
We gotta be sensitive.
This is real, guys.
I know nobody wants
to go home, you know?
So who's your two?
I'd have to say
Tek and Amanda.
I can cook, though.
But you're weak in general.
I just don't have any
confidence in Amanda.
Every time we have service,
she just shuts down,
and I can't have
that on my team.
Tennille, considering that
you've been on the block
a few times says that you
have been the weakest.
I like Tennille, but that
this is a business decision.
It's not personal.
I don't deserve it.
You guys are not going to
keep throwing me under the bus
and act like I don't bang
my sh*t out and do my job.
You didn't f*cking listen to me.
I run a f*cking steak
house, and I told you.
I was behind you and
f*cking percent, all of you.
I'm sick of this sh*t.
Y'all can say whatever the
hell y'all want to say.
But tonight, you are not
putting Tennille on that block.
NARRATOR: The men saved the
day, and now they are safe.
But the women must put two
teammates in the line of fire.
OK.
Ladies, have you
made your decision?
ALL: Yes, Chef.
Good.
Tennille?
Yes, Chef?
First nominee,
and why, please?
Chef, the first
nominee today, Chef--
Chef, the first nominee was Tek.
Tek.
Yes, chef.
Why was that?
The team felt as
if Tek has deflated
in the last several services.
Right.
Second nominee.
Unfortunately, Chef,
which is a load of bullshit,
I've been put up, Chef.
I'm not the f*cking weakest
person on this team, though.
Who do you think should
be the second nominee?
Amanda, Chef.
Interesting.
God almighty.
Right.
Tek and Tennille,
step forward, please.
Let's cut the
bullshit, shall we?
Amanda, get your ass up here.
Tennille, why should you
stay in Hell's Kitchen?
Every f*cking challenge, every
f*cking service, I get better.
I'm better for the team.
I'm getting stronger.
I think it's bullshit
that I'm up here.
How many times have
you been up here?
I've been up here twice, man.
They know I'm getting
strong, so now they scared.
Have you got anything
left in the t*nk?
Yeah, Chef.
I've been busting
my f*cking ass.
Don't you see how pissed off
I am that I'm even up here.
This is bullshit.
I shouldn't even be up here.
Do me a favor.
Yes, Chef?
Back in line.
Yes, Chef.
Tek, why should you stay?
I know that I have it in
me to have these successes.
I don't want to walk out of
Hell's Kitchen as a failure.
Seriously?
Do you care?
There's no part of me
that ever stops caring.
I'm so passionate
about food, Chef.
Amanda.
Yes, Chef?
Why should you stay
in Hell's Kitchen?
Because I know I can get more
vocal and stronger as I go,
and I haven't had a
horribles on the line.
I'm not convinced, Amanda.
Are you done?
I think you're b*at.
I think you're toast.
No, I'm not done, Chef.
I know I can do it.
I'm looking right through your
eyes, and I think you're done.
I don't see anything left.
I know I can do it, Chef.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm very sure.
What is that?
That is f*cking raw.
Raw.
We haven't sent an entree out.
How can serve that and that
on the same table, Tek?
Sorry, Chef.
This is f*cking
serious, and you're sh*t.
Tek, give me your jacket
and leave Hell's Kitchen.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Back in line, Madam
Life is not over for
me after "Hell' Kitchen"
because I am a
crazy, bad ass girl,
and I am a hell of a lot better
cook than Chef Ramsay saw.
"Hell's Kitchen" is
only going to get harder.
The winner this year
in "Hell's Kitchen"
is going to become the head
chef at the Araxi Restaurant
and Bar welcoming the
world to the Olympics.
The pressure's on me to
find that right person,
because I am not going to
make myself look stupid.
Piss off.
I don't trust none of them.
I'm not playing no more.
From now on, it's Tennille time.
For all of you all, sit on it.
The girls are just going
slowly, but steadily.
We just sit back and just
watch them pick each other off.
They're making it easy.
I kept on waiting
for Tek to emerge.
She couldn't even
handle her station.
Tek had a total meltdown.
NARRATOR: Next time
on "Hell's Kitchen."
This is f*cking embarrassing.
Wake up.
NARRATOR: Dinner service
is a train wreck.
It looks like a dog's dinner.
[screaming]
[inaudible] just finish
your order, you lazy cow.
NARRATOR: And when one chef gets
pushed to the breaking point--
You upset now,
'cause you're crap.
--she does the unthinkable.
You're crap.
f*ck you
NARRATOR: And pushes back.
You can dish it,
but you can't take it?
Shut your fat
f*cking mouth, you
f*ck off through those doors.
NARRATOR: Tennille's
time may be up.
And the clock is ticking
for Robert as well.
My heart started to
jump out of my chest.
We need to send
Robert to the hospital.
NARRATOR: All next week--
I need a medic right now.
NARRATOR: --in a life
or death episode--
- Oh, no.
- Robert's probably dying.
NARRATOR: --of "Hell's Kitchen."
