- Yes, chef.
Stone cold.
ARIEL: Mistake after
mistake after mistake.
ANNOUNCER: Chef Ramsay

And it's stone f*cking cold.
You make a mistake

It's not good enough, guys.

one chef for elimination.
DAVE: It's a really,
really tough one.

And the blue team chose--
Van.

Top six.
Right now it's still
anybody's game.
[theme music]
[music playing]
ANNOUNCER: And now, the
continuation of "Hell's
Kitchen."
- Goodnight.
Goodnight, chef.
Unbelievable.
I hate that sh*t, y'all.
Just sit up there and f*cking
cry like a little bitch.
I went on the chopping block
fighting for my life again.
It means everything in the
world to be here right now.
I came here to win.
Still here.
Whatever.
VAN: I know I can cook
better than these fools.
I just can't make any
more stupid mistakes.
[music playing]
I'm still feeling a little
upset from last night.
But I really need
to just let that go.
The f*ck?
This might be a better day.
[giggles] Dave.
Kevin.
We got presents.
Congratulations on making
it to the final six.
Open it up.
What's that?
Oh.
Yeah, boy.
Aw.
Oh, sh*t.
Black coats, man.
Black coats.
I consider "Hell's Kitchen"
like climbing Mount Everest.
So now it's a scramble
to the summit.
Oh, dude.
No way!
It's Christmas morning.
It's the big dogs now.
This is about letting
the best chef win.
All I gotta say is, good luck.
SUZANNE: Getting down
to the nitty-gritty.
DAVE: Getting down to the
we can't be friends anymore.
There's a little
camaraderie left.
But I think that's all about
to be out the window, you know.
And it's gonna be every man
for himself, man eat man.
[laughs]
ANNOUNCER: Now that the final
six are dressed appropriately,
they are about to find out
what other surprises chef
Ramsay has cooked up for them.
Good morning.
Morning, chef.
You look lovely in black.
Chef cooking.
I mean, chef in
there gettin' down.
He got, like, six pots,
and he plating and tasting,
and this is all right.
No more red team.
No more blue team.
Six of the best.
I thought it'd be nice
to start this morning
by sort of tasting.
So here we go.
This is the most
amazing fillet of beef.
That's one of our
signature dishes
from my restaurant in London.
Van, what do you think?
Perfect.
GORDON RAMSAY: When
I eat, when I go out,
I very quickly close my eyes.
I want to taste and just
concentrate on what's in there.
I can die a happy man
now that chef Ramsay
has personally
cooked me a breakfast
of filet mignon and truffles.
Bury me now.
I'm all set.
- OK.
This is your next challenge.
I knew something
was fittin' to happen.
Oh, you tricked us, chef Ramsay.
You tricked us again.
It's time for
taste it and make it.
You'll be recreating
a dish based purely
on seeing it and tasting it.
Great.
You know, I've
got a good palate.
And I understand
how things are done.
So I'm gonna k*ll it.
GORDON RAMSAY: But you
won't be doing it alone.
I'll pair you together.
So we have three
teams of two, yes?
Yes, chef.
First pairing.
Van.
- Yes, chef.
- You got Ariel.
All right.
Cool.
It's a little
bit nerve-racking
that I'm working with Van.
Because he's been on the
chopping block two times.
GORDON RAMSAY: Tennille.
TENNILLE: Please give me Kevin.
He's a phenomenal chef.
- You get--
- Please, please.
Not Suzanne.
Kevin.
Boom.
There you go.
Suzanne.
[laughter]
Course you get Dave.
Yes?
Yes, chef.
SUZANNE: Yes, chef.
DAVE: Suzanne is
definitely not my choice.
But, whatever.
I'll just roll with it.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK.
[music playing]
Scott.
That's another signature dish
from my restaurant here in LA.
I'm going to leave
this at the pass.
Taste it and recreate that dish.
You have minutes from now.
Off you go.
ANNOUNCER: For the taste
it now make it challenge,
chef Ramsay has chosen
a dish with four
main components-- fish,
garnish, puree, and sauce.
Leave some for everyone.
It was like a pack of wolves
running toward that dish.
Suzanne, come here.
The first thing I do is
get a piece of everything
so I can kind of do an
autopsy on the plate.
I'm going to go start
collecting ingredients, Suzanne.
All right.
Grab what you know.
ANNOUNCER: Every
ingredient that the chefs
need to recreate this dish
can be found in the "Hell's
Kitchen" storeroom.
I just don't know
what this small dice is.
ANNOUNCER: First, the teams try
to figure out what kind of fish
chef Ramsay used in his dish.
Oh, God.
This is hard.
That's what I do, man.
I cook fish.
But I didn't know what that was.
I knew right off the
bat what the fish was.
You know, I'm from Cape Cod.
So I know my fish.
Van?
VAN: Yo.
- Yes, right?
- Yes.
Yeah.
ANNOUNCER: All three
teams have picked
turbot as the fish in chef
Ramsay's signature dish.
And now they're moving
on to the garnish.
Yeah.
You got the tarragon on it?
Got it right here.
Get the lime segmented.
- Yeah.
There's also some
squid in there.
ANNOUNCER: The teams all believe
that the garnish is calamari
and must now try to
identify the puree.
Parsnip.
Kevin, he thought he
knew what the puree was.
This is parsnip?
Yup.
TENNILLE: I didn't even
know what parsnip was.
Parsnip.
That's parsnip for sure.
It was really hard to
distinguish what the puree was.
It might be celery root.
Celery root.
I think that's it.
She's really smart.
ANNOUNCER: Ariel
and Van have chosen
celery root as the main
ingredient in the puree.
The other two teams
are going with parsnip.
OK.
Just over minutes to go.
DAVE: Yes, chef.
ANNOUNCER: The duos must now
figure out the final component
in chef Ramsay's dish.
The sauce is gonna
be the hardest part.
There's, like, one flavor
we're missing in the sauce.
- What is it?
- It's, like, orangey.
I taste the sauce.
And I know it's a
very strong citrus.
But it's also very sweet.
We can add more of
the mango if you want.
I knew that it wasn't
quite full-on mango flavor.
But it wasn't registering
to me what it was.
Was that this or this?
So we end up going
with starfruit.
What about the passionfruit?
As soon as I start cutting
open the passionfruit--
Yes.
Yeah.
Bang.
I'm feeling secure about that.
I can't figure out
one thing, though.
I'm up there tasting again.
It just-- it's not--
I'm not getting it.
Three minutes to go.
ANNOUNCER: For the key
ingredient in the sauce,
each team has chosen
something different.
Ariel and Van are
using starfruit.
Kevin and Tennille
have picked grapefruit.
And Dave and Suzanne are
going with passionfruit.
Two minutes left.
ANNOUNCER: Now, they
must prepare the dish.
[music playing]
Olive oil.
Did you get the spinach?
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go, guys.
Come on.
Last minute.
sh*t.
I'm rushing.
I grab the fish.
And plop!
There goes the fish,
right on the ground.
ARIEL: No!
VAN: Need to put
another fish on.
I swear.
And I gotta pull this one out.
ARIEL: Are you kidding me?
It takes, like, two minutes
to cook a piece of turbot.
I'm just hoping we
can pull it off.
seconds to go.
Don't forget the
segments and the herbs.
You got that sauce?
ARIEL: Fish is done.
Will you pull it out of the pan?
Put a little stock on it.
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go.
No, it's good.
It's good.
It's good.
- All right.
GORDON RAMSAY: --
It was, like,
criss-crossed, right?
GORDON RAMSAY: -- --
- Mm-hmm.
GORDON RAMSAY: -- , , --
Hurry up, hurry up!
GORDON RAMSAY: -- , and stop.
ANNOUNCER: In a test that
chef Ramsay uses to separate
the chefs from the
cooks, it's time
to find out which team has come
closest to recreating his dish.
Right.
Kevin and Tennille,
describe your dish please.
KEVIN: Well, we made a turbot
with some sauteed spinach
underneath.
And then we have parsnip puree.
There's grapefruit
juice, lime juice--
Grapefruit juice,
a little vinaigrette.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK.
Van.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ariel.
Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Look
how close they are.
Wow.
I know we got close as far
as presentation, for sure.
This is turbot.
And this is a celery root puree.
Sauteed spinach.
GORDON RAMSAY: Mm-hmm.
Squid, tarragon, and chervil.
There's some starfruit as well.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
So we've got sauteed turbot--
GORDON RAMSAY: Yep.
SUZANNE: --on a bed
blanched spinach--
Mm-hmm.
SUZANNE: --with a parsnip puree.
- Parsnip puree.
Mm-hmm.
SUZANNE: We also have
bits of calamari.
Tarragon, chervil.
SUZANNE: And then passionfruit--
- Passionfruit.
- --sauce.
- Passionfruit.
SUZANNE: Mm-hmm.
DAVE: Yes.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK, good.
- I feel really good about it.
And I think it was a
beautiful partnership.
GORDON RAMSAY: Very,
very interesting, indeed.
First of all, congratulations
to each and every one of you.
Turbot.
Well done.
But nobody had the puree.
Celery root, parsnip, parsnip.
The puree was a white onion.
Oh.
It was sweet.
Thank god everybody
missed the puree.
So I knew that, like, we're
all on an equal level.
And the garnish.
Chervil, tarragon.
Yes.
Squid.
Yes.
What was missing in your dish
that you didn't put on there?
[music playing]
Oh, man.
We forgot the calamari.
No garnish.
No garnish.
- Garnish, chef.
- The garnish, chef.
The garnish.
The garnish was the
first thing I made.
I put it off to the side.
I guess I put it off too far to
the side. 'Cause I forgot it.
Damn.
What a shame.
That means me and Kev are
completely out of the running.
f*ck.
f*ck!
f*ck!
OK.
Ariel and Van, and
Suzanne and Dave.
Very, very, very close.
Very close.
There's one big difference.
Only one of you got the
fruit that was in the base
of the citrus vinaigrette.
Starfruit or passionfruit?
This is it.
It's the passionfruit
that's gonna k*ll it.
So, the winning duo
is Dave and Suzanne.
Well done.
Thank you, chef.
The sauce is passionfruit.
Yes it was.
Yes it was.
Shh.
I'm sorry.
Suzanne's over there,
oh, I know, chef.
I know.
Zip it up.
Amazing, you two.
Holy crap.
You're going to be
reward as a team.
We're going over
to my restaurant
here in LA, The
London West Hollywood.
And then you're going
to get to meet Christina
who won "Hell's Kitchen" four.
She is going to be
cooking you lunch.
SUZANNE: I'm super stoked.
A win in this kitchen
is like no other
win I've ever won in my life.
Fantastic.
OK.
Losers, tonight we are
open in Hell's Kitchen.
And it's couples' night.
So you'll be prepping
for the entire service.
And Jean-Philippe has
a plan up his sleeve
to give the dining room a
beautiful, romantic setting.
Yes?
- Yes, chef.
Good.
Dave, Suzanne, get changed.
Because your limo's waiting.
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
Suzanne is definitely not my
choice to spend the day with.
But I'm going to
make the most of it.
We tore this place up.
[sighs]
I'm pissed.
I don't go hang out
with chef Ramsay.
Instead, I gotta deal
with whistle britches.
Morning, morning, morning.
Bonjour.
Special arrangements
for tonight.
There's a truck waiting.
Roses, champagne.
So we need to bring them in.
And we need to revamp this
place into something romantic.
VAN: Roses.
Where do you want it, JP?
Yeah, I'll be good.
Have fun.
Thanks, man.
Dave hates Suzanne.
They're going on a date.
Ladies first.
Dave and Suzanne,
sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
GORDON RAMSAY: Great teamwork.
And more importantly, you've got
to come out as individuals now.
Yeah.
GORDON RAMSAY: It's game on.
What should you do once
you get a black jacket?
So of course there's
got to be a team
effort across the services.
- Yeah.
But you're all
individuals now.
Hanging out with chef
Ramsay on that personal level
was like a dream come true.
ANNOUNCER: While the winners
enjoy some quality time
with chef Ramsay, the losers
are not enjoying their quality
time with Jean-Philippe.
[music playing]
Remove everything what's
on the table right now.
Everything.
All the silver.
TENNILLE: You know,
quite frankly,
I don't want to do
any of this, JP.
Is that right?
It's nicely straightened up.
TENNILLE: The only
thing I know how to do
is put food onto a table.
Roses and steaming
tablecloths don't
make the food taste better.
Another day at the loony bin.
[music playing]
GORDON RAMSAY: Here we are.
Welcome to The London
West Hollywood.
DAVE: Not many
people get the chance
to have a personal tour of
chef Ramsay's restaurant
by the man himself.
Into the kitchen.
SUZANNE: It's a huge kitchen.
Gorgeous.
- This is Christina.
- Hey.
How are you doing?
Good to see you, darling.
Nice to see you.
GORDON RAMSAY: This is Dave--
CHRISTINA: Hey.
- --and Suzanne.
CHRISTINA: [inaudible].
And they've got
a few questions.
Enjoy your lunch.
CHRISTINA: All right.
Chef Ramsay hooked us up
today with a really nice reward.
So?
SUZANNE: All right.
Number one question, were
you like the know-it-all
on your season?
- Yeah.
Basically.
Definitely.
Classic vinaigrette, the
formula is one-to-one ratio,
champagne vinegar to
EVO, salt, pepper.
Well, you know, you have
to be true to yourself.
- Right.
- No, no, no.
Keep it cooking in there.
The smaller the pieces, the
faster they cook, right?
Sometimes people just want--
My way or the highway.
Right.
Christina and I
could be very similar.
And the more
questions I ask her,
the more I can draw
from her for myself.
- I'm a team player.
- Mm-hmm.
Now that we are in
the black jackets--
Right.
--now it's time to,
like, turn that off.
- Well, don't turn it off.
- I want to hear it from her.
SUZANNE: A chef that
you want to work--
DAVE: Suzanne keeps chime in.
And I'm not even hearing it.
From now on in, you need to
be focusing on thinking ahead
and how he's going to
throw a wrench in there.
Yep.
Because it's Hell's
Kitchen for a reason.
I can see myself winning
"Hell's Kitchen" like Christina
did, definitely.
DAVE: Thanks for your insight.
It was lovely
to meet you both.
It was nice meeting you.
All in all, it was great.
Here's to meeting Christina
and to "Hell's Kitchen."
Except for Suzanne.
Salud.
Salud.
[music playing]
I f*cking hate quail eggs.
It's a whole different vibe
in Hell's Kitchen tonight.
Everybody is just kind
of eyeballing each other,
you know what I mean?
The energy definitely
has changed around here.
And I'm going to try to
take advantage of that.
How was your date, Dave?
[laughs]
We'll be right
down to help you.
SUZANNE: Hey, guys.
When you come
back from a reward,
everybody's gunning for you.
So I'm focusing on
tonight's service.
So happy to be back
in the kitchen.
I'm happy to do any project.
Can I help anybody?
Nothing?
That's the beauty of
being in a black jacket.
People can g*n for me all day.
If I prove myself in service,
they can f*cking sit and spin.
I don't give a f*ck.
Mama said, if you don't
have nothing nice to say,
don't say it at all.
[music playing]
Right now, we're
all individuals.
All of us have
these black jackets.
But we still have to
support each other.
Because every mistake
costs the team.
Hey, Dave, we just need
to cut more scallions.
I'm on all that.
Chef expects excellence.
OK.
Right.
Ariel.
Yes, chef?
Two seconds, please?
Right.
One kitchen.
No red, no blue.
One dynamic team with
six strong individuals.
I need to see that emerging.
Yes, chef.
So tonight, we're going to
be hosting couples' night.
So it's going to be sort
of, you know, romantic.
And to add a little bit of
magic to the dining room,
we're going to be
serving the most
amazing menu tableside, starting
off with chopped salad for two.
Then, as an entree,
we'll be serving
porterhouse steak for two.
Kevin.
- Yes.
- You're in the dining room.
- Perfect.
Thank you.
GORDON RAMSAY: Excellent.
Remember one thing.
There are no winning
teams tonight.
There's only winning chefs.
Tonight, you seriously
step up to the mark.
Is that clear?
- Yes, chef.
Robe me up.
Let's go.
Game time, fellas.
Let's do it.
OK.
Where's the Belgian brown twat?
OK, JP?
- Yeah?
Open Hell's Kitchen,

[music playing]
ANNOUNCER: Tonight is couples'
night at Hell's Kitchen.
And diners will have the option
of ordering a special tableside
menu, beginning with a chopped
salad appetizer followed
by a porterhouse steak for two.
DINER: We're going

- You're gonna share that?
- --porterhouse.
Yeah.
- OK.
OK.
Here we go.
Four couples, table , yes?
Two special menu.
One tortellini, one risotto.
Kevin, I don't want
minuscule portions.
I want nice portions
of salad, yes?
- Nice portions.
- Yeah?
- Yes, chef.
- Let's go.
SUZANNE: I'm feeling really
good about dinner service.
And the hot apps is my station.
It's great.
I'm super stoked.
Risotto is two minutes out.
- Good.
Off you go, Kevin.
ANNOUNCER: All of the appetizers
must arrive at the table
together.
So timing is critical, between
Suzanne on hot appetizers
and Kevin on tableside service.
I believe, ma'am, you
had a chopped salad,
and you, sir, had
a chopped salad.
Two tortellini.
Where's my other tortellini?
I've got two tortellini here.
Where's my other tortellini?
It's three tortellini
per portion.
I've got two.
Oh, I thought
it was two, chef.
What?
I dropped two tortelloni
instead of three.
I thought I heard
two for some reason.
Oh, come on.
f*cking A.
I know.
I don't even know
why that happened.
And would you like me go a
little heavier on the sweet?
Everyone loved me.
I was out there hamming it up.
All right.
I like this.
And trying to buy a lot
of time for the kitchen.
Because I kept staring
over my shoulder,
and they weren't
plating anything.
- Suzanne.
- Coming up.
seconds.
You told him two
minutes ago which was
four and a half minutes ago.
This is all
natural, untouched.
And it's just straight
from the ground.
You start to realize that
two minutes is really
a bullshit lie and Suzanne needs
to communicate a hell of a lot
better.
Right, Suzanne.
One and a half minutes, chef,
on risotto and tortelloni.
Chef, I'm ready on , chef.
, yeah.
f*cking sh*t.
Kevin, minute and a half out.
I gotta make another one.
Yeah, question.
Fire another one.
Hey, madam.
He actually is f*ring
another one now.
- Yes, chef.
- Well, let's try this again.
I'm Kevin.
How are you this evening?
GORDON RAMSAY: You can't
screw us on that, guys.
I said the time is crucial.
SUZANNE: I messed up the
entire flow of the restaurant.
Perfect.
But I can't imagine
that you have to be
so perfect to win this thing.
You're good.
You're good.
Three tortellini
proportion, yes, chef.
ANNOUNCER: With Suzanne
finally delivering
her appetizers to the pass--
Let's go.
Complete.
ANNOUNCER: --she
is now back in sync
with Kevin and his
tableside salad.
Serve you, madam.
I hope you enjoy
everything, folks.
DINER: Thank you very much.
KEVIN: Take care now.
--so much.
It's just gonna kind of
be another pain in the ass.
'Cause not only do we have
to focus on what we're doing,
I'm gonna have to keep
an eye on Suzanne now.
Have an order two couples,
table , two couples, table .
Two scallops, one
risotto, one tortellini.
Entree-- one salmon, one
turbot, one lamb, one sea bass.
Four minutes, Van,
on those scallops?
I'm not down yet.
Hold on.
Tell me when you
put 'em down, please.
All right.
I'm most concerned
about making sure all
my fish is properly cooked
tonight and not getting behind.
(YELLING) Van!
So you started to
sear that sea bass.
Come here.
Quickly.
Leave it there.
So you're searing the sea bass--
- It's thick, chef.
- Listen to me.
Yes, chef.
I'm sorry.
But we haven't even
sent the appetizers.
Here we go again.
New f*cking night.
GORDON RAMSAY: Hey.
I'm watching you like a hawk.
I'm a f*cking eagle over here.

GORDON RAMSAY: No, no, no.
Stop.
Come here.
[music playing]
You're sweating in the food.
Yeah.
It's hot, chef.
I know it's f*cking hot.
You're sweating in the food.
Man, I was sweating
my ass off, man.
But I don't know if
it went in the food.
What do you want
me to do, serve them?
By the way, you've got a little
touch of Van on that one.
Look at me.
Help me out here.
I'm out there
busting my ass, bro.
I'm sweating my ass off.
GORDON RAMSAY: I just told you--
I'm working as hard
as I can for you, chef.
You're sweating
in the food, Van.
He makes me look like
a bitch constantly.
Send the whole
f*cking lot back, Scott.
I can't go like this again.
ANNOUNCER: With Chef
Ramsay putting the stop
sign on Van's sweaty scallops--
Tickets.
Here we go.
Now I've got f*cking entrees.

food is leaving it.
You just f*cked me.
Hey, hey, Van.

SUZANNE: Yes, chef.
So you've f*cked
me on the appetizers.
And now the f*cking entrees

I've got one pass.
Now you're screwing the
whole f*cking restaurant.

Hey, how long do you
need for a sea bass?
I need time to get
this urgent order out.
ANNOUNCER: And Tennille,
on the meat station,
is leading the charge
to get food to the pass.
Two minutes?
VAN: Two minutes.
Two minutes.
Hey, Ariel, can you
go up in two minutes?
Yes.
Good communication.
Save it till the
end of service, chef.
You're making me blush.
Two scallops, let's go.
- I'm going up.
- Two minutes.
Counting down.
What's my name?
Tennille.
Tennille.
Somebody's taking
my f*cking lead.
The person I least expected to.
ANNOUNCER: Tennille
has impressed chef
Ramsay with her communication.
Coming up with two lamb
and sauce right now, chef.
Lamb on your side, chef.
ANNOUNCER: Now, she hopes to
impress him with her cooking.
GORDON RAMSAY: That
lamb's perfectly cooked.
TENNILLE: The first
time I hear chef
say, this lamb is perfectly
cooked, I'm like, stay perfect.
As soon as you slip, you
know what he's gonna do?
Shove that lamb up your ass.
GORDON RAMSAY: Good
girl, Tennille.
Somebody's woken up
and smelled the coffee.
ANNOUNCER: After Tennille's
success on the meat station,
it's up to Van to keep up the
momentum on the fish station.
I'm sending now, two
halibut, one lamb, one turbot.
Yeah, I've got one halibut.
What do you need?
Two halibut?
GORDON RAMSAY: I've
got everything,
but I'm dragging
a f*cking halibut.
Whoa, sh*t.
Three minutes, chef.
The pan's not even hot.
It's not even sizzling.
Van.
Van.
[moaning]
I'm going up, all right?
Yep.
f*cking raw.
Just stop.
All of you, come here.
You especially.
There you go.
Yeah, it's gonna be
a long f*cking night.
f*cking hell.
This is too much.
This is too much.
It's too much.
Give me a minute.
Cannot be possible.
Oh, Lord.
I keep letting him down.
I mean, the man was
in the fetal position.
How you think that
makes me feel?
It hurts me to see
him be hurt by me
trying to send out some-- a
little undercooked halibut.
f*ck.
Hey.
VAN: Yes, chef.
Come here.
In the f*cking back.
I don't know what the
f*ck you're doing.
I don't know what
the f*ck is going on.
But you've got to get a grip.
I'm trying hard.
You have got to
get a f*cking grip.
I can't send any more
raw f*cking halibut.
Yes, chef.
It's k*lling me.
I'm working hard, chef.
Next time, you're out.
I understand, chef.
TENNILLE: Porterhouse
is up first, chef.
Come on.
Let's just keep going.
One turbot, one
salmon, one sea bass.
[music playing]
Just stop.
Come here.
Come here.
(YELLING) All of you come here!
Yes, chef.
- You.
- I'm sorry, chef.
I turned around for a minute.
- Look.
ARIEL: That lettuce?
I didn't even know that
f*cking burner was on.
I'm sorry, chef.
What the f*ck are you doing?
Obviously, I
wasn't intentionally
cooking the lettuce.
It's in front of
your f*cking eyes.
I just got this jacket.
I told myself, when you
get to that black jacket,
you do not f*ck that sh*t up.
This is no possible.
And this is what I did.
- It's not good enough, Ariel.
- Yes, chef.
Who the f*ck's
going to eat that?
Blackened, burnt
salmon garnish.
Lettuce needs about
two more minutes.
It doesn't get much
worse than that.
Scott.
OK now.
Come here.
f*ck off.
f*ck me.
Is that it?
Or what.
f*ck that.
Absolutely f*ck that.
Not worth it.
f*ck them.
What the hell
is going on here?
Can't take it anymore.
I cannot take it anymore.
Un-f*cking-real.
Un-f*cking-real.
Oh, f*ck me.
That's a first.
They're gone.
So are they coming back?
I can't take it anymore.
Ooh, dear.
[music playing]
TENNILLE: Chef walks out of
the kitchen, and I'm thinking,
if he shuts it down,
we're all going home.
Let's go straightaway.
Porterhouse medium.
What's after that?
- Sea bass.
- All right.
Five minutes.
Somebody had to communicate
for this team tonight.
Somebody had to do it.
Guys, we gotta pick it up.
Heard?
ANNOUNCER: With chef
Ramsay out of the kitchen--
Let's go.
ANNOUNCER: --Tennille
tries to take control.
Salmon, halibut, porterhouse.
Ariel, how long do you need?
ARIEL: Just wait
so I can catch up.
Tennille, let me
f*cking catch up, OK?
We're going up
in three minutes.
- Yeah.
- Three minutes.
Dude, I'm f*cking
over this sh*t.
When you see a teammate
f*cking having trouble--
Ariel, three minutes.
--let them get
their sh*t together.
That's called having

What are we doing?
Salmon, halibut,

No, no, no.
We said three minutes.
We said three minutes.
- Three minutes.

TENNILLE: You got it?
Ariel was struggling
a little bit.
If you need help, I'm here.
Get me spinach
going for a lamb.
TENNILLE: Ariel, two minutes.
Asparagus on, spinach on.
I tried to help in any way I
could, but she seemed defeated.
Let's go straightaway.
On what, Tennille?
Hey.
Tension runs real
high in the kitchen.
You can snap, you can cuss.
Just have my sh*t at
the window on time.
Two broccolini.
ANNOUNCER: Thanks to
Dave, Ariel's garnish
has finally made it to the pass.
All right.
So salmon, halibut, porterhouse.
ANNOUNCER: But before food
can go out to the diners,
there's one important
detail left to take care of.
We got to plate this
and get it out of here.
KEVIN: Chef Scott
and chef Ramsay,
they're nowhere to be found.
If they're not here, screw it.
Let's just do it.
TENNILLE: One more
porterhouse medium.
You got the halibut sauce?
Coming right now.
I'm going to go up there
and do the porterhouse.
Finish this ticket, right here.
ANNOUNCER: After getting
things on track at the pass,
Kevin heads back out
to the dining room--
All right.
I'm back.
You're back.
Oh.
ANNOUNCER: --leaving
Suzanne in charge.
[music playing]
Do the best you can.
Suzanne, don't you
already understand,
you done f*cked us tonight?
The least you could do
is stand your ass up here
and try and plate something.
Van.
- Huh?
- Plate these.
All right.
SUZANNE: Plate it.
I'm plating.
Suzanne, let's get this out.
It's up there.
SUZANNE: Who knew if that was a
test when the chefs walked out,
if they were like, oh, let's see
if they're going to plate this
and, like, send
substandard food out.
Better just not to
do anything at all.
I can't f*cking put
my name on this.
'Cause I don't
know if it's right.
I'm not putting
my name on this.
I'm not putting this out.
Bitch, move over.
Let me put this
f*cking food out.
Salmon.
Halibut.
Sorry about your wait.
ANNOUNCER: In spite of
Suzanne, food continues to make
its way to the hungry diners.
Really good.
ANNOUNCER: And the chefs--
Porterhouse medium,

Porterhouse, salmon, halibut.

Talk-- two?
Two minutes.

Two minutes.
Busting my balls and
I'm getting treated
like a little girl, man.
Van, don't lose
your confidence, man.
You know how to f*cking cook.
I know.
I know I'm good.
I just got to keep fighting.
Just got to keep fighting.
Lamb, sea bass, porterhouse.

ANNOUNCER: The team
has pulled together
and continues to send
food out of the kitchen.
Behind.
Hot food.
ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile, chef
Ramsay is coming back in.
I f*cked up tonight.
What the f*ck are you doing?
I know I can do this.
And I really want to
be able to prove that.
I think Van--
You're sweating in the food.
--Ariel, and Suzanne--
Now you're screwing the
whole f*cking restaurant.
--all did a
horrible job tonight.
Now we're gonna get shut down.
Stop.
Kevin.
Now.
Oh, sh*t.
Here we go.
Urgently, Kevin.
Let's go.
I've never done that.
No one's ever
pushed me that far,
to actually f*cking
just disappearing
in my own f*cking restaurant.
Nobody.
You, you, you.
f*ck off, will ya?
Get out of it.
Just get out.
All of you.
ANNOUNCER: While
Tennille, Dave, and Kevin
finish dinner service--
- It's right here.
ANNOUNCER: --Van, Suzanne,
and Ariel are just finished.
f*ck that sh*t.
I'm done, bro.
Ain't got no time for this sh*t.
I'm a f*cking man.
You don't f*cking treat
me like no little bitch.
This sh*t ain't real.
f*ck 'em.
Why are you so pissed?
Because, he riding my
f*cking d*ck / in here.
I'm worried about Van.
He's seriously, like, f*cked
in the head right now.
[spits]
I'm working my f*cking
d*ck in the dirt.
And I'm getting
screamed and yelled
at from some psychotic British
m*therf*cker all the time.
I-- I'm losing it, man.
I'm losing it.
I don't give a
f*ck anymore, man.
f*ck all y'all.
Can't f*cking take it.
I'm done.
Done!
f*ck you.
f*ck this.
It's a total mindfuck right now.
But, uh, I'm not a quitter.
I know I want to be here.
I just got to keep fighting.
ANNOUNCER: While Van tries
to calm himself down--
No way are we giving up.
No way, chef.
We're not giving up.
Let's go.
ANNOUNCER: --Dave, Kevin,
and Tennille hustle
to complete dinner service.
- Come on, guys.
Last table.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Last table.
[inaudible] up, guys.
You need anything?
Two carrots.
Two carrots.
- Salt your halibut?
- Yes.
Carrots?
I got you, baby.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Let's go Dave, fish.
I think that's gonna do it.
- Is that it?
- That's it.
Good.
Well done.
Thank you.
Push the desserts, please, guys.
Let's go.
Tennille.
Madam, come here.
That's the best I've ever
seen anybody cook meat.
What?
He just said that to me?
Well done.
Thank you, chef.
I held that kitchen down.
Yeah.
[music playing]
OK.
First time in five years I've--
I've ever walked out
of Hell's Kitchen.
And by no means
any of your fault.
But the most frustrating
dinner service ever.
But thank you for the effort.
We finished.
And we got through.
Yes?
- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.
Truthfully, there's no
way on earth any of you
guys are going home.
You cooked your
heart out tonight.
Thank you.
So, Tennille, Kevin, Dave,
tonight, I want you, all three
of you, to go
upstairs and come up
with two names out of the
three that left that should
be up for elimination.
This is no longer red
team versus blue team.
Right now, it's game on.
- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you.
[music playing]
The three of us
have to decide,
of the three of you all,
which two are going up.
The one thing that really
f*cking pissed me off,
we asked you to plate, Suzanne.
You got free hands,
and you're like,
I'm not putting my name on this.
I can't put my name on it
because I can't do it right.
At this stage of
the game, you should
know everything that you got.
You know?
SUZANNE: Yeah.
You're not going to
put your name on it?
Get out.
You're done.
I would say, Suzanne.
OK.
So we have one.
And Van, you were in the
sh*t from the beginning.
VAN: I had another bad night.
And then that just puts me
f*cking right in the bullseye
again.
You know?
Ariel, he was flipping
out about the lettuce.
I just want to think of
what-- who chef wants to see.
It's nothing personal.
If I had to choose who I
really think should go up,
it would be Suzanne and Van.
But strategically, I'm
going to put up Ariel.
He was freaking out about
the lettuce the most.
Why would I want to face off
against a stronger competitor
when I could face
off against Van?
I'm just stating the facts.
I'm telling you flat-out,
I f*cking f*cked up tonight.
There's no reason why
my teammates should not
throw me under the bus tonight.
But I don't want to go home
tonight because of this.
I know I'm better than this.
I think chef wants
to see Ariel up there.
Tennille, who do you
think chef wants to see?
I think chef wants to
see you up there because he
has a higher expectation.
Ariel probably is a
stronger chef than Van.
And to put her up, even
with a rocky service,
might not be too fair.
Right now, it's a
hard choice, man.
And our decision would
be Ariel and Suzanne?
Tennille, what two people?
Just name 'em.
I'd say A--
Suzanne and Ariel.
I think that's decided.
[music playing]
Right.
Um, Kevin, Tennille, Dave,
have you made your decisions?
- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
Dave, first nominee
and why, please?
First nominee is Suzanne.
We needed somebody to
help us push things out,
and she flat-out
refused to do it.
Right.
Second nominee.
Second nominee is Ariel.
Ariel.
Why?
She had the
lettuce-burning incident.
Tennille, do you agree Ariel
and Suzanne are the weakest
two cooks in the kitchen?
In my honest
opinion, chef, I do not
believe Ariel is the
weakest chef in the kitchen.
Suzanne and Van should
be up there, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Thank you.
Personally, I have mixed
feelings about all three
of them.
Ariel, Suzanne,
Van, step forward.
OK.
Ariel, tell me why you think you
should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
Chef, I have not been
this disappointed in myself
ever in my entire life.
And I want so badly
to stay here and prove
to you that I can do this.
Suzanne.
I have a great palate.
And my only real
downfall right now
is letting my nerves get to me.
Nerves?
Exactly.
How many services do you think
you need in Whistler before you
get rid of those nerves?
Certainly not .
GORDON RAMSAY: You're
out your depth.
And you're heading
straight for the bottom.
OK.
Van.
Tell me.
I'm getting sick and f*cking
tired of being up here, chef.
I hate this.
I hate it.
I'm trying-- doing my best.
My mind's f*cked right now.
I'm tired.
I'm not looking good.
I'm not cooking good.
I hate being kicked
out of the kitchen.
That's the worst thing
you could do to me.
And I'm so tired of
being right here.
I know I can do this.
This is what I was born to do.
Right.
I just came here to cook.
I didn't come here to be f*cking
up on the chopping block / .
I'm better than that.
Thank you.
OK.
My decision is--
Ariel, back in line.
[music playing]
Van, Suzanne.
Both of you have been
up here three times.
one of you is not going
to make it to the fourth
because you're not
going to be here.
My decision is--
Van.
Give me your jacket, big boy.
- Yes, chef.
[music playing]
Hey.
It's been an honor.
Listen.
Yes, chef.
You can cook.
I appreciate it.
I-- I still got
a few more years.
I could be-- I'm gonna
be like you one day.
Hey.
Keep it cool.
And let your food
do the talking.
Yes, chef.
Thank you, chef.
[music playing]
When I came into Hell's
Kitchen, I came in g*ns blazing.
I kicked ass on
the signature dish.
There's something quite
intriguing about that.
Congratulations.
Well done.
VAN: But there's
a lot more to it
in Hell's Kitchen
than just cooking.
You f*cking donkey.
VAN: Then the stress got to me.
- Listen.
Listen to me.
Do not touch me, bro.
Suck my f*cking d*ck.
But I had fun while I was here.
sh**t him right now.
[laughter]
Hell's Kitchen, boy.
Woo!
The main lesson I've
learned about myself--
when you get down,
don't stay down.
I want to go out
here with my head up.
I'm gonna be the man one day.
Van is gonna be the man.
Back in line, Suzanne.
Yes, chef.
OK.
Tennille, considering
how bad Van has been,
I appreciate you nominating him.
'Cause you were spot-on.
Get some sleep.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, chef.
DAVE: Tennille
blindsided me tonight.
She's a fake.
And she'd better
watch out, 'cause
I'm dangerous in this game.
And I'm here to win.
Van, I love you, man.
But all I got is
my integrity, man.
Everybody said I
couldn't do this.
This is for everybody
said they couldn't.
Everybody.
I'm bringing it home.
Van may be a poissonier.
But his performance on fish
was anything but Vantastic.
ANNOUNCER: Next time--
GORDON RAMSAY: I've got
the best five chefs here.
You f*cking prove it.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
ANNOUNCER: --the battle to win
"Hell's Kitchen" gets fierce.
Tennille's a f*cking bitch.
Why'd you change
your mind up there?
TENNILLE: Get the
f*ck out of here.
ANNOUNCER: Dave and
Tennille are at w*r--
[screaming]
ANNOUNCER: --while Kevin
is plotting his victory.
Dave, I want him to leave.
You'd do some serious
damage to your hand if--
Everybody is hoping my broken
wrist is gonna send me home.
[groaning]
ANNOUNCER: At dinner
service, chef Ramsay
has high expectations
for the final five.
Can we do it?
Yes, we can.
ANNOUNCER: But does he get
the service he desires?
Kevin.
All grainy.
I f*cked it up.
GORDON RAMSAY: (YELLING) Ariel!
Raw!
Suzanne.
Raw!
Tennille, listen and shut up.
We look like a
bunch of idiots.
ANNOUNCER: One thing's for sure.
You'll see a sight you've
never seen before--
Oh my god.
--chef Ramsay in disbelief.
It cannot be possible.
It's not physically possible.
ANNOUNCER: All this--
GORDON RAMSAY: Right now.
Come here.
ANNOUNCER: --next time
on "Hell's Kitchen."
Piss off.
[screaming] Hey guys, wake up.
