20x11 - Swiping Right

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on
Hell's Kitchen: Young g*ns[/i]...[/i]

Welcome to Hell's Kitchen cinema.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay gave[/i]
the chefs a history lesson...[/i]

-Whoo!
-Oh, yeah.

[narrator] ...and then kicked off[/i]
the th annual Blind Taste Test.[/i]

Choo-choo!

[narrator] Chefs went head-to-head...[/i]

-Celery?
-[buzzer blares]

-Corn, Chef.
-[buzzer blares]

[narrator] ...and both teams struggled,[/i]

with Antonio and Steve going one for four...

-Turkey.
-Turkey.

[buzzer blares]

[narrator] ...putting their teammates[/i]
in a sticky situation.[/i]

[laughter]

Megan and Emily impressed
Chef Ramsay with their palates,

getting three out of four correct...

-Mango?
-Yes!

-Asparagus?
-Oh, my God. Well done.

[narrator] ...and were able[/i]
to grab the win for the blue.[/i]

Congratulations, Blue Team.

[narrator] At dinner service...[/i]

-[glasses clink]
-[both laugh]

-[Ramsay] Scallops, please.
-Walking scallops, Chef.

I'm just here to get shit done.

[narrator] ...Kiya dominated[/i]
on the fish station...[/i]

-[Ramsay] Kiya, nicely sautéed.
-Thank you, Chef.

-[narrator] ...while Josie...
-[Ramsay] Oh, dear.[/i]

-[narrator] ...struggled to keep up.
-[Ramsay] The wrong garnish.[/i]

Yes, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Waiting for Josie.
-[narrator] Over in blue kitchen...[/i]

[Megan] How long on risotto, Steve?

How long, Steve?

[narrator] ...Steve was[/i]
in his own world on appetizers.[/i]

Chef, if you don't want it,
then give me your jacket.

[narrator] But thanks to Megan's[/i]
strong performance on fish...[/i]

-[Ramsay] Nicely cooked, Megan.
-Thank you, Chef.

-[narrator] ...Blue Team was able to rally.
-[Ramsay] Beautifully cooked halibut.[/i]

-Thank you, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Service.

[narrator] Both teams managed[/i]
to complete dinner service.[/i]

Pretty.

[narrator] Chef Ramsay awarded...[/i]

-Megan.
-[narrator] ...and...[/i]

Kiya.

[narrator] ...a huge responsibility.[/i]

Give me one chef from your team
who deserves to be up for elimination.

-[narrator] Kiya selected...
-Josie.[/i]

[narrator] ...while Megan chose...[/i]

Steve.

[narrator] Ultimately, it was...[/i]

Josie.

[narrator] ...who had[/i]
to say goodbye to her chances[/i]

of becoming head chef
of Gordon Ramsay Steak.

[dramatic music]

And now the continuation
of Hell's Kitchen.[/i]

-Get out of there.
-Yes, Chef.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Good night.

[all] Good night, Chef.

[Antonio] Top eight.

It feels good to be top eight.
I can't say much more.

It sucks that most
of our peers are dropping out,

but feels good to be here.

One step closer to a black jacket.

-I'm proud of you.
-[Steve] Aw, thanks.

[Emily] I knew you weren't leaving.

-Oh.
-I'm happy you're staying.

Me too.

Maybe me being put up
for elimination was good for me.

It was kinda like the
fire under my ass that I needed.

'Cause it's down to the line.

Like, I don't have any more chances.

Now I've actually gotta destroy.

-You deserve it.
-You really do.

-Thanks.
-It was just one shit day.

[Antonio] I knew you were staying.

[upbeat music]

[Brynn]
I wanna follow Christina on Instagram.

-She better follow back.
-I'm gonna follow Jason

-and he's gonna block me.
-[laughter]

If people watch it, they'd be like,
"They don't know how hard I had it."

Everyone thinks that
we're some rich, like, generation,

everything's handed to us.

But we're not that generation.
Like, we work hard.

Everyone teases us millennials about,

you know, getting participation trophies.

But, you know, when I was in tennis camp,

it was a participation medal.

So not a trophy, but whatever.

And that's why our
generation is so frickin' smart

and we're thinking of all this,
because we have a different outlook.

We're all too smart.

I'm a very, uh... a very, uh...

I wouldn't say intellectual.

I feel like that comes
kinda off as pompous,

but I love reading.

We understand them,
but they don't understand us.

[Emily] Yeah, it's so stupid.

What's the ratio to cook jasmine rice?

-[Antonio] Two-to-one.
-[Brynn] Two-to-one.

[Steve] Great job, Sam.

[dramatic music]

Rise and shine. Good morning.

[all] Good morning, Chef.

Wow.

I see a giant-ass smart phone

in the middle of the dining room.

I miss my phone so much.

Cell phones have really changed so much

how we live our lives today, right?

Especially for you Young g*ns.

It's how you pay for things.

Get a ride. It's even how you date.

-Yes, Chef.
-No. Oh, no.

-[Ramsay] Trust me. Yes.
-Eh.

My online dating profile is, uh...

it gets the job done, damn it.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place

where chefs could go
to meet the perfect match?

[laughs]

I'd like to introduce you all to...

HKchefsONLY.com,

a new app, cooking for love.

[laughter]

[blows]

You never know what you might find.

[quirky music]

-[laughter]
-Christina Sardina.

I mean, listen, I love fish, but really?

I'm gonna swipe left.

-Blue Cheese Jason.
-[laughter]

Oh, man. And swipe left again.

Macaroni Marino.

Macaroni Marino would take you
to a nice sophisticated date.

I mean, any girl would be lucky.

I'm gonna swipe right. Let's go.

This is it. This is my pose

for my beautiful head shot
on my wonderful dating app.

[angelic music]

Obviously, this site will not match you

with the love of your life.

You'll be using it to find

the right match of ingredients,

with one of these four amazing proteins:

lobster, filet, New York strip,

and an amazing pork chop.

-Understood?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

You decide who's cooking what.

-I'll do strip.
-I'll do a filet.

-I'll do the pork.
-I'll do the filet.

Lobster. I can do that.

Oh, perfect.

-I'll take the filet.
-[Brynn] I'll do the lobster.

-What do you want?
-I mean, I'd rather have the strip.

[Antonio] I'll do pork chop.
I've done pork chop two times.

-Mmm. Excited?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

Let's start with the lobster.

-Who's lobster?
-Me.

[Ramsay] Blue, who's cooking lobster?

Right, Brynn, Steve,
come forward, please. Let's go.

[narrator] In today's challenge,[/i]
Red and Blue chefs[/i]

who are cooking the same protein

will take turns swiping

to select ingredients for their dishes.

Harry Heirloom Tomato. No.

-[Ramsay] No?
-John Snow Peas. Yes.

Good. That's it. Next. Let's go.

[narrator] Each chef[/i]
will lock in two ingredients[/i]

that must be used in
their own dish and in their opponent's.

-I'm gonna say no to him.
-No?

Uh, yeah, that's a no. Ronnie Rum? No.

-No.
-Uh, no.

-[Ramsay] No.
-Oh, jeez, no.

Really?

[inhales sharply]
Nah, I'm not feeling Jean.

No, no Fiona.

Oh, wow, he must be
really picky with the ladies.

-Give me something.
-Oh, my God.

-Sheila Tequila?
-Tequila, tequila.

I can work with tequila.

-Let's do that.
-Wow. Next, let's go.

Swap out. Good.

-Right. Roberto Rutabaga.
-Um.

-Rutabaga. No.
-[laughter]

Shye Thai Chili Pepper.

-Uh, yes.
-[Ramsay] Yes. Okay.

Yeah, I don't really like
Thai chili peppers.

Brynn's definitely playing
to her strengths, which is smart,

but I gotta cook
with all of this stuff too.

I guess I'm just gonna have
to f*ck with her right back.

-Kent Dill Weed.
-Kent Dill Weed.

-Yeah, yeah, I want him.
-You've got dill weed.

Wow. That's it.

God, Steve. Dill? Dill. Dill!

Well done. Back in line.

[narrator]
With lobster ingredients chosen,[/i]

Chef Ramsay is next looking
for Emily and Antonio

to swipe for ingredients
for their pork chop.

Arthur Granny Smith.

-Ooh.
-Um...

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Switch.

Birdie Parsnip. Yes.

-[Ramsay] Smart. Switch.
-Brad Bacon. Yes.

-[Ramsay] Yes. Smart one.
-Tommy Tomatillos. No.

-Red cabbage? Yes.
-Mmm.

[Ramsay] Nice. Well done.
Filet, next up. Let's go.

-Whiskey.
-[Ramsay] Whiskey.

-[laughter]
-[Megan] What?

-Chef!
-[Ramsay] Don't look at me.

-Chef.
-[Ramsay] d*ck is short

-for Richard, okay?
-No.

[Ramsay] Dickie. Next, Birdie Parsnip.

-I can do parsnip.
-[Ramsay] Good.

Switch out. Let's go.

-No to cabbage.
-[Ramsay] No to cabbage.

Manny Manch... Yeah. Yes, I'll swipe.

-[Ramsay] Manchego.
-Manchego.

-Carrots.
-[Ramsay] Kent Carrot.

Let's go, Kiya. Pierre Haricots Verts.

-Yes.
-Yeah, good. Back in line.

Next up, Sam and Trenton. New York strip.

-Pierre Haricots Verts, yes.
-Corny Cathy.

Yeah, we're gonna go yeah with that one.

-Yes.
-Frankie "Five" Fingerling Potato. Yes.

-[Ramsay] Smart.
-Yes.

-Excellent. Happy?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

Now, each protein has
the same four ingredients.

But what's dating
without a little variety?

So I've decided to give you all

one extra, unique ingredient.

I'm setting you up on a blind date.

[laughter]

Christina and Jason, please.

Under each of these domes,

there are eight incredible ingredients.

Now, when I tell you to begin,

each team will run to the kitchen,

put a blindfold on,
and you'll select an amazing ingredient.

Like a blind date, right?

I have never been on a blind date.

But I am actually single
and looking to meet other women.

All of you,
head into the kitchens, please,

and get around your sous chef.

Let's go. Blindfolds on.

Your minutes start now.

[intense music]

[Brynn] Oh, I got garlic, guys.

[Trenton] Foie gras?

[Steve] Yeah.

I think I could do
a fried egg with my filet.

That's black garlic.
Yeah, I'll use black garlic.

[Ramsay] You got black garlic?

I got caviar that I'm gonna take.

There's a lot of strange stuff here,
but it all feels f*cking expensive.

We can work with this.

[Antonio] Champagne.

Okay, so you have champagne.

-[Brynn] I'll take caviar.
-[Christina] Okay.

I don't know if I want this or this.

-Decide.
-I'll have this.

-Truffle.
-That's it. Blindfold off, you doughnut!

-Sorry.
-[Ramsay] Start cooking!

[narrator] Each chef has selected[/i]

their blind ingredient

and can begin cooking their dish,

except for Sam.

[Sam] I have no idea what this is.

[Ramsay] Sam, start cooking.

I'm gonna go with this right here.
Going with it.

What is this that I chose?

So you're gonna have pork jowl...

You know that's a cheek, right?

f*ck. Pork jowl.

All right, I have no idea what to do.

Just breathe.
Yo, just breathe. Just breathe.

[tense music]

I feel good about my ingredients.

I'm just gonna do,
you know, classic seared filet,

parsnip puree with some Manchego.

I'm trying to blend my parsnip.

It's way too thick,

so I'm trying to incorporate
my cream into...

-Ah!
-Oh, shit.

f*ck!

Ah!

Rookie mistake by taking off the lid.

-[Emily] Are you okay?
-I'm fine.

Behind, behind.

-Ah.
-[Ramsay] minutes to go.

-[Brynn] Heard, Chef.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

I've been struggling,
because Steve picked dill.

Why?

Hot.

Right now, I'm making crepes.

Does it really go with my dish?
I don't know.

Meat in between the layers?

[Brynn] I have the meat...
so it's the thingy, the meat,

and then I'm gonna do on top too...

-You have a little caviar?
-Yep.

-Gonna finish with the quenelle?
-[Brynn] Yep.

So I might have
a super composed demeanor in the kitchen,

but inside, it's like,
everything's on fire,

and I don't know what I'm doing.

[Ramsay] Thirty seconds to go.

Meat in between the layers?

[Brynn] So I have the meat...
so it's the thingy, the meat,

and then I'm gonna do on top too...

-You have little caviar?
-Yep.

You're gonna finish with the quenelle?

[Brynn] Yep.

[Ramsay] seconds to go.

This is a little weird.

I don't know if it's gonna come together.

I just have to roll with it.

[Ramsay] Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Go, go, go, go.

[Ramsay] ...six, five,
four, three, two, one.

And serve, guys. Well done.

Whoo!

[dramatic music]

[Ramsay] Red Team, Blue Team.

I've brought in
a very special guest judge.

A celebrated chef,
restaurateur, cookbook author,

the chef and co-founder

of the popular Crack Shack
and Juniper & Ivy.

Please welcome Richard Blais.

[applause]

Hi, Chef. How are you?

-Good to see you.
-Good to see you.

Oh, yeah, Richard Blais is cool as f*ck.

I like Richard Blais.

I wanna hear his take on my plate.

Let's start with the battle of lobster.
Let's go.

[narrator] In today's swipe-right[/i]
ingredient challenge,[/i]

guest judge Richard Blais

will judge each round head-to-head

and award a point
to any dish he deems worthy.

The team with the most points
will win the challenge.

[Ramsay] Good. Steve first.

-Describe your dish.
-[Steve] Okay.

So my lobster is grilled,
and I basted with caviar butter.

The secret ingredient.

Underneath is snow peas
sautéed with a little bit

of caramelized shallots
and some fresh dill.

You nailed this.

I love that you have dill in here.

I love that caviar is gonna give you

this nice natural salinity as well,

because when you have
the opportunity to use caviar,

you use lots of caviar, right?

You didn't pay for it?

-No.
-[Blais] Then use even more of it.

Overall, though, dude,
this is a really, really tasty dish.

Steve is k*lling it right now.

So I'm definitely... I'm nervous.

Good start. Right.

Brynn, describe the dish.

So here you have a dill crepe tower,
we'll call it,

with a butter-poached lobster,

and it has caviar folded in it.

I kinda love it. I mean, it's almost more

about the crepes and the cream
than it is the lobster,

but I have to say, Chef,

this is an impressive
first round here, chefs.

Good. Chef, two good dishes. Great start.

Does the point go to Brynn or Steve?

-Entirely up to you.
-I'm going to give a point...

-to Steve.
-Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] Wow. Well done, Steve.

I'm also gonna award a point to Brynn.

-[Ramsay] Wow.
-Thanks.

-[Ramsay] Smart.
-[Blais] Good.

[Ramsay] Well done, both of you.
Good job. One-one.

Yes! I was, like, so happy, you know.

I've never been one to brunch,
but if I were to brunch,

I would order that dish.

Right. Next up,
battle of the filet mignon.

Let's go, please. Kiya and Megan, please.

Thank you.

[narrator] Kiya's filet mignon[/i]
with parsnip puree[/i]

and crispy carrot chips

is complemented with
the secret ingredient...

Quail eggs.

So I kept them nice and runny
on top of the steak.

I have to do a little bit of work

to sort of see how that
quail egg was cooked.

When you have one of these,

you're supposed to showcase,
I would like to see it.

Let's cut into this.

I think you're fine on the temperature.

Could've been cooked more.

It's missing a sauce.

Right. Megan, describe the dish,
please, to Chef.

So it's a Manchego and parsnip puree

with a little shaved truffle.

[Blais] I love the puree.
It's got a great texture to it.

I love that you have
the classic sauce with it.

-It's tasty.
-Thank you, Chef.

Chef, point go to the Blue Team, Megan,

or Kiya from the Red Team?

I'm gonna give one point to Megan.

-[Ramsay] Megan. Congratulations.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

[narrator] With Blue Team up two-to-one,[/i]

next up are Antonio and Emily
with their pork dishes.

And Antonio's blind ingredient...

Champagne that I chose.
I have apples in there.

I used apples within cabbage,

-and I did an apple-bacon demi on top.
-You picked champagne...

-Mm-hmm.
-[Blais] ...for a pork chop.

I like your game. That could have been
tricky with this pork chop.

This eats incredibly well.

-I'd pay for it.
-Thank you, Chef.

[narrator] And now Emily's pork[/i]
looks to impress,[/i]

with her blind ingredient,
porcini mushrooms, alongside...

[Emily] A smoky parsnip puree
and a massaged cabbage

and green apple slaw.

The execution on the cook
of the pork chop...

really, really well.

I'm not really picking up
a lot of the porcini.

-That's a tricky ingredient...
-Okay.

...unless you make a sauce out of it,

-go deep.
-[Emily] Yeah.

I'm gonna give one point to...

Antonio.

-Thanks.
-[Ramsay] Wow.

-Appreciate it, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Emily, good job.

[narrator] With the score tied heading[/i]
into the final round,[/i]

Trenton and Sam go to battle
with their New York strips

and look to take home
the victory for their teams.

Trenton, why don't you go first?

Explain the secret ingredient
and describe the dish, please.

My secret ingredient was black garlic.

The dish is a pan-seared rib eye

with a tomatillo
and corn salsa verde on top.

[Ramsay] You described incorrectly.
New York strip.

Yeah. I mean,
I love that you got that high acidity,

and you got some char,

but the cooking is just a little odd.

Maybe two minutes less cooking.

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Longer resting.

Right, Sam, please describe the dish

and the secret ingredient to Chef.

The secret ingredient was pork jowl.

I have not worked
with this ingredient before.

I will be honest.

[Blais] Yeah, the cook on this, it's...

One side spent
a little bit more time in the pan.

And you gotta be a little careful here.

You have the jowl
in the corn hash as well, right?

-[Sam] Okay.
-[Blais] So it's got a lot of salt on it.

Please step back. We're tied, two-to-two.

Now, was it Trenton from the Blue Team

or Sam from the Red Team, please?

The last round was, to me,

the least successful round of the day,

so I'm not gonna award
any points for that last round.

Wow. So now we're gonna go to
the best-performing dish from both teams.

[Blais] Was one that stood out
a little bit more than the others.

And the winner is...

[dramatic music]

Steve.

-[Emily] Yes.
-[Ramsay] Wow.

-[Steve] Thank you, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Wow.

Oh, would you look at that?

Best dish of the day.

Eh, silent k*ller strikes again, huh?

-Blue Team, congratulations.
-[all] Thank you, Chef.

Strong effort. Give it up

-for Richard Blais.
-Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] A pleasure. Congrats.

-Good luck, Chefs.
-[all] Thank you, Chef.

Blue Team, you four are in
for a day of pampering...

-[Megan] Yay.
-Nice.

...at the most luxurious spa on the Strip:

Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace.

It is phenomenal.

-When was the last time you had a facial?
-Never. Never, Chef.

That baby face.
You'll return ten years younger.

[laughter]

Red Team...

you guys are gonna be elbow-deep...

[Kiya] Oh, God.

-[Ramsay] ...in toilets.
-[all] Oh, no.

-Today is clean-the-dorm day.
-That's disgusting.

Blue Team, there's also

another big surprise for you in the dorm.

What are you waiting for?

-Let's go. Get off.
-[all] Thank you, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Red Team, back to the dorm.
-Yes, Chef.

-Oh, yeah!
-Whaa!

-If it's a Vitamix...
-He's about to lose his shit.

I'm gonna pee if it's a f*cking Vitamix.

-Vitamixes!
-Yeah!

f*ck yeah! f*ck yeah!

[Steve] Yeah, Vitamix.

-[Antonio] Oh, my God.
-It's beautiful.

Commercial.

-It's gorgeous.
-Oh, my God.

[peaceful music]

Ah, luxury. I needed a facial so bad.

[English accent] I feel fancy.

[Trenton exhales deeply]

[inhales deeply]

[whispers]

Qua Spa is so nice, so relaxing.

This place is sweet.
It smells like eucalyptus, which...

I dunno why I know
what eucalyptus smells like,

but I'm kinda digging it, actually.

[Trenton] I feel so pretty already.

[woman] We'll be using
a -karat gold mask on the skin.

[Steve] Oh, that's nice.

-[woman] Like it?
-[Steve] Mm-hmm.

I feel expensive. [whispers] Qua.

[quirky music]

How long orange juice's been here,
but it's solidifying.

That was in the girls' room. [retches]

It's time to clean.

There's dirty dishes piled up
as far as the eye can see.

It is a typical college dorm.

Not that I've ever been,

so I can't say I know that.

But if I could imagine
what a college dorm looks like,

I think it looks like this.

Oh!

Yeah, that's been there for, like, a week.

No, it smells really bad.

[Kiya] Yeah, I know. It's pasta water.

Oh. This is so gross.

No crumbs are disappearing...

not just the ones, like,
stuck in the carpet but, like, none.

[laughs] Of course,
a vacuum that does not work.

So I was like, okay, maybe it's full.

[coughs]

[Emily] Sorry, Brynn.

[peaceful music]

[Trenton] I've never had a pedicure, so...

My life right now is really tough,

because I'm having to eat food
while getting a pedicure done.

Cheers to not having
to clean up those messy dorms.

-[laughter]
-Cheers.

[Megan] Oh, yeah, that feels great.

That's the spot. Just keep going.

[dramatic music]

-Everybody look alive.
-[woman] Look alive.

Communication is key tonight.

-Yep.
-Got it.

[narrator] With Blue Team[/i]
back from their reward[/i]

and the Red Team finished
with cleaning the dorms...

-Everybody feeling good?
-[Sam] Nope. I am nervous.

Don't be. You got me beside you.

[narrator] Both teams are now preparing[/i]

for tonight's dinner service.

-[metal clattering]
-[gasps]

[sizzling]

-[Brynn] I'm good, Chef.
-What happened?

-We're good, Chef.
-You okay?

-Yep.
-You good?

-[Brynn] Yep.
-Are you burnt?

We're good. Just...

[metal clattering]

-Oh!
-[Brynn] Everything is not good.

-Oh.
-Are you all right?

[dramatic music]

-[metal clattering]
-[gasps]

[sizzling]

-What happened?
-[Brynn] I'm good, Chef.

-We're good, Chef.
-You okay?

-You burnt?
-We're good.

-Just...
-[metal clattering]

-Oh!
-[Brynn] Everything is not good.

-Oh.
-Are you all right?

[Kiya] My team's kind
of freaking out tonight.

I'm one of those people that's sensitive
to other people's emotions.

-Do you need a hug?
-[Brynn] Yeah.

[laughs] Mm.

You don't need your team flaking on you

before dinner service's started.

Does anybody else need a hug?
Antonio, you need a hug?

Nah, I'm good. Let's do this thing.

-Red Team, ready?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Vocal. Brynn,
I wanna hear the voice.

-[Brynn] Yes.
-[Ramsay] Marino!

-Si,[/i] Chef.
-Open Hell's Kitchen

for steak night.

Subito.[/i]

[upbeat music]

[narrator] Tonight is steak[/i]
night in Hell's Kitchen,[/i]

and once again, the dining room

is the place to be in Las Vegas.

[people cheering]

Blue Team!

[narrator] For tonight's menu,[/i]
Chef Ramsay has added a filet mignon[/i]

and a tomahawk chop for two...

Well, I feel like, if it's steak night,

we have to go with the tomahawk chop.

[narrator] ...as well as a wedge salad,[/i]
crab cakes,[/i]

and meatballs for appetizers.

-[woman] I'm so excited.
-Me too.

Cheers to steak night. Red Team!

Cheers. Go, Red Team.

[Ramsay] Here we go, guys. Table four.

Two risotto, two crab cake. Heard?

-[all] Heard.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.

You have lobster tails down?

I have two lobster tails down.

[Kiya] I am on hot apps tonight.

With only four of us being left,

game plan today
is definitely communication

and also noticing,
when we have nothing to do,

to help somebody that's kind of got a lot.

-Kiya, how long?
-Two minutes. Two minutes.

Crab cakes flipped.
Gonna throw 'em in the oven.

-Yep, put 'em in.
-[Sam] I had to do one thing.

That's okay.
You ready to walk with my first riso?

[Brynn] I got that.

[Brynn] Walking on the pass
with two lobsters.

[Kiya] Brynn, can you walk
these crab cakes quick?

[Brynn] Yes, one second. I got you.

-I'm making a salad now.
-[Kiya] On the crab cake salad,

a little less of the fruit, okay?

-[Brynn] Heard.
-[Ramsay] Pick it up.

On your right, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Stunning risotto.
-Thank you, Chef.

I'm pumped. Let's go. Let's go.

If we can keep this going,
like, we'll be set.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

-Keep it going.
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-[Ramsay] An amazing kitchen.
-[all] Yes.

Sounds like ten chefs,

yet there's only four.

Immaculate chefs.

[Kiya] Guys, keep it up.
Keep up the good work.

[Ramsay] Okay, Blue Team.
Two risotto, two meatball.

Hey, Blue Team,

they're shouting brilliantly,
calling back.

-Heard!
-[all] Heard, Chef!

Thank you. Let's go.
Wake up, guys. Let's go.

Two risotto. Lemme know
when to drop the lobster.

-Heard?
-Steve, I'm gonna

-say seven on risotto.
-[Steve] Seven. Heard.

Definitely ready for apps.

I'm ready to kick ass at apps.

[Ramsay] Let's go. Talk to each other.

-Megan.
-[Megan] Yes, Chef?

-I like it runny, but it's too wet, okay?
-Too runny?

[Ramsay] More cheese. Yeah. You know that.

-Yes, Chef.
-More corn.

-Tighten up.
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Not getting proportions right.

[Megan] Yes, Chef.

Megan, you wanna be quick,

but you also wanna make sure
food's going out correct.

She doesn't understand the risotto,

so I'm a little concerned, honestly.

[Ramsay] Come on, please, Megan.

[Megan] Is that better?

-[Ramsay] Very nice, Megan.
-[Megan] Thank you.

[Ramsay] Service.

[narrator] With both teams[/i]
now sending appetizers out[/i]

at a steady pace...

-It's delicious.
-I love the spice.

-[man] Yeah.
-Crab cake's b*mb.

-[woman] Yeah.
-It's very good.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay's ready[/i]
to move on to the first.[/i]

Entrée. Two salmon, two New York strip.

-[Ramsay] Heard?
-[all] Heard.

Let's go. Push, now. Let's go.

[Antonio] How long on steaks?

-Four minutes, seconds.
-[both] Heard.

-[Sam] Oh, wow, this is sexy.
-What?

[Sam] Ah, there we go.

Ugh. These steaks
definitely are pretty sexy.

You know, I'll tell you what,

I enjoy working with them.

Baste the f*ck out of you, bitch.

Yeah, you like that. Oh, yeah.

Oh, God. Sam's way too into the meat.

[Sam humming]

It's getting increasingly gross.

-Come on, baby.
-Two salmon, two strip.

I got two salmon ready to go.

-Where?
-[Antonio] Here.

I've got... Right here.

Oh, shit, I just confused myself now.

Walking to the pass with the sides.

[Antonio] Ready to walk.

Hold off to a minute.

We got one minute, okay?

[Antonio] Let's go.

-Hey, is your salmon ready?
-It sure is.

Why you holding it back?

-I'm not.
-I'd be up here, then,

-if it's cooked.
-Yes, Chef.

-You slow down, he slows down.
-Heard, Chef.

[Ramsay] I've told you.

Yes. Walking it now.

Heard, me the same.

Strip, Chef.

-Sam, Antonio, come here.
-[both] Yes, Chef.

You two, come here. So what is that?

What is that? That's under cooked.

-Yes, Chef.
-I'm not gonna serve this.

Hey, steak night. Super important night.

Touch that New York strip,
and you tell me what it is.

That one's under.

-Back in the pan.
-Yes, Chef. Right away.

I want fresh salmon. Let's go.

-[Antonio] Yes.
-[Sam] Behind.

Sam needs to start focusing
on cooking the steak

instead of playing with it.

[Ramsay] Come on, guys.
Don't do this to me.

If you make a mistake, long as you get

the rest of them fine after that,
like, you're okay.

But as soon as you do that mistake,

Chef Ramsay's on you like
a shark coming through the water.

Let's keep it going.
Let's go. Hurry up, Sam.

-I can walk.
-Three minutes.

-Speed up, then. Let's go.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

He smells that blood
and he just wants to know who did it,

why it was sent up that way.

-Hey, don't do this to me.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

I got eyes in the back of my ass.

Yes, Chef. Sorry, Chef. It's ready, Chef.

[Ramsay] Come on, please, Antonio.

Make sure those are perfect.

[Antonio] Those feel perfect.

They gotta be f*cking perfect. Let's go.

-[Ramsay] Come on, Red Team, please.
-I can walk. Walk.

Bringing it up right now.

Salmon salad's already up, okay?

-Heard.
-[Sam] Strip, Chef.

-Antonio, come here.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

Yes, Chef.

[dramatic music]

-Antonio, come here.
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Sam, come here. Still raw.

It's still raw. I'm not gonna serve this.

No way. I can't keep on waiting.

Come on. Get them f*cking basted.

Yes. I need stock. You got stock there?

I don't want stock.

-Chicken... Butter?
-Stop.

-Use butter.
-Chicken?

-What?
-Butter, butter.

Stop. Who said chicken
stock in the salmon?

No one, no one.

So what the f*ck are you doing?

-Baste them with butter!
-Yes, Chef.

-Where'd that come from?
-I don't know.

Chicken stock in the salmon?

-Say it back to him.
-Chicken stock does not

-go in the salmon, Antonio.
-Jesus Christ!

-Go, go.
-Get the pan on the stove!

Yes, Chef.

I don't know what's happening,

but I don't like it.

[grumbling]

Hopefully the guys
can get their act together,

'cause tonight isn't the night

to be tripping up like this.

Listen, just refocus, guys. Come on, now.

-[Ramsay] Service.
-[Christina] Lovely.

[Ramsay] Thank you. Service.

-Here we go. Yes. Okay.
-Thank you.

Fire now. Two salmon, New York strip.

Yes, Chef. Six minutes, Steve.

[Steve] Six? Six is perfect. Yes.

-[Emily] Six perfect. Heard.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.

Yes, Chef.

Hell's Kitchen is my first
time leading steaks on a line.

Searing right now.

The stakes are really high tonight.

[ding]

Emily, they're not even seared.

Oh, no, they're not seared yet, Chef.

-Why aren't they seared?
-I'm sorry, Chef.

I should've seared one.

-[Steve] Are you sure on six?
-[Emily] Yes.

Six minutes.

It's gonna take longer
than six minutes to cook that steak.

But my salmon's already down.

Oh, my God.

[Ramsay] Are we backing up, Emily?

No, Chef. Three minutes.

-Three?
-[Emily] Yes, Chef.

Taking shorter than I thought.

Make sure they're perfect.
Gotta rest too, remember.

-I know.
-[Steve] Heard.

I mean, I feel like I'm communicating.

-I need about more seconds.
- seconds. Heard.

Hopefully this doesn't
come back to bite me in the ass.

And I'm ready to walk with my strip.

-Ready? Let's walk.
-[Emily] Yep.

Strip right here.

-[Ramsay] Emily and Steve.
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Quickly.
-[Emily] Yes.

Touch that salmon. Touch it. That's over.

-And that is...
-Under, Chef.

If he's got his salmon on before you,
that's not right.

What takes longest, that or the salmon?

-[Emily] That, Chef.
-Get on the same page,

-and start again.
-[both] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Two nice salmon
and two stunning New York strip.

-Yes.
-[Steve] Heard.

[Ramsay] Don't try that again.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] No way.

An order on fire, two going to table .

-Entrée, two chicken.
-[all] Heard, Chef.

-Three and a half minutes.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.

[Sam] I have to make sure I do
this chicken right.

Chicken has seemed to be the demise

for people that have gone home already.

What is that?

You guys wanted me
to eat pink chicken? Seriously?

-No, Chef.
-No, Chef.

[Ramsay] Oh, my Lord.

f*ck.

Get out! All of you!

-Chicken's ready.
-They're done.

Chickens are ready.

-You good?
-[Sam] Two chicken coming now.

-[Brynn] Walking the sides now.
-[Sam] No, actually,

I need seconds
on that last piece. Sorry.

It sounds so stupid.
There's no temperature to the chicken.

It's either done or it's not done.

And the last thing I wanted
was to serve raw chicken.

-Chicken, how long?
-[Sam] Right here, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Let's go.
-Right here, Chef.

Hey, Red Team, all of you come here.

-f*ck!
-[Ramsay] Just do this for me, then.

When it goes stringy, what's that mean?

[both] Dry.

Take a little piece.

Let's have chicken jerky.

-[Antonio] Yes.
-[Ramsay] Describe that taste.

[Antonio] Dry.

I'm not gonna serve it.

I want two proper chicken, quickly.

-[Antonio] Yes.
-Check...

-Quickly. Let's go.
-Yes, Chef.

Check the two I just did.

Don't look like that on the bottom.

Sam, I shouldn't have to take care
of every other station.

Look at the bottom.

[Antonio] I'm ready.

-[Kiya] Better?
-[Sam] Yeah.

-[Kiya] Are they done?
-This other one needs

a slight bit more.

I don't understand
how you can get so frazzled

by doing your job.

[Sam] Right behind.

[Ramsay] What are they doing?

Red Team. Red Team, come here.

-Quick, Kiya.
-Yes, Chef.

Oh, my God. Marino.

[Marino] Si[/i], Chef.

Is that Gordon Ramsay Steak-worthy?

No, not at all.

I mean, f*cking really?

-Would you eat that?
-No, Chef.

-Would you eat that?
-No, Chef.

I'm not gonna serve dry, insipid chicken.

Get on there and get it
f*cking sorted out.

-[all] Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Now.

Let's go, Sam. Let's go.

I'd say it's wildly disappointing.

It's been minutes, at least.
Still have nothing to eat.

I know. Everyone else's food looks good.

[Steve]
I need a real time on these strips,

'cause I don't wanna f*ck the salmon.

-Got it.
-He's given us another chance.

Let's not throw it away.

Okay, I think we're ready to walk.

Meg, give her
a second opinion on her strips

before they walk.

Give it a poke.

-Which ones?
-Give it a poke. Those two.

Whatever I see, it's getting
called out from here on out.

You know, point-blank.

[Megan] You confident with that?

Yeah.

We can't f*ck this shit up again,

-because we're not gonna live.
-I understand that.

I'll walk for you.

-[Emily] Thank you.
-Walking my salmon.

I definitely can't afford
to make any more mistakes.

Now we're back on track, Emily.

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Finally.

-Nicely cooked. Let's go.
-Thank you, Chef.

Whew!

[Ramsay] Go.

I'm so relieved. You don't even know.

Two filet, two New York strip

-straight after.
-[all] Yes.

-[Ramsay] Let's go.
-Perfect. Let's do it.

-[woman] Thanks.
-[man] Salivating.

-[woman ] Wow.
-[woman ] Very good.

[woman ] So delicious.

f*ck! Chicken.

Make sure it's nice and wet. Nice and wet.

[Ramsay] Chicken, how long?

Coming behind.

Oh, boy. Who just cooked these?

Red Team.

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Here!

-f*ck.
-[Ramsay] Marino, come here.

Who's cooking the chicken this time?

-Me, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Why is it so black?

I let it sit too long.

-It turned to...
-f*cking hell.

Can you apologize to the table, please?

And can you get me
two f*cking sodding chicken?

-Yes, Chef.
-Third time!

-Yes, Chef.
-Chef, you want me to...

No, not again. They're waiting!

They're f*cking starving! Shit!

[dramatic music]

They're waiting! They're f*cking starving!

Shit! Oh, my God. Move your ass!

Yes, Chef. Understood. Understood.

Uh, Brynn. Brynn, look at that.

Is that what the customers expect?

-No, Chef.
-[Ramsay] And it's dry.

It's the third time.

I don't know who the
f*ck orders chicken on a steak night.

There's so many other
places you can get chicken at.

That was yours. That was your chicken.

Let me see how long it's gonna take.

Chef Gordon apologizes.

[Antonio] Gotta finish strong.

-Antonio.
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Get on meat and cook chicken?

-Let's go.
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Two doing asparagus is a joke.

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Okay?

-Yes, Chef.
-I don't think Brynn

needs help with the asparagus, do you?

Yes, Chef. No, Chef.

[Ramsay] Stop being a coward, help.

Hey, don't you dare hide on the veg.

-Yes, Chef.
-You see a problem area,

you run to it and you help each other.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Brynn.

-Yes, Chef?
-It's like a fireman

running away from a fire.

Yes, Chef.

[Kiya] Lower heat in the cast iron.

[narrator] While Red Team continues[/i]
to get out of the gate cooking chicken...[/i]

-Got it. Got it.
-I got two more fired.

Here you go.

[narrator] ...the Blue Team[/i]
can see the finish line...[/i]

-Last two tables. Let's go.
-I'm just gonna sear these off

-and we'll be bring them back.
-Perfect.

[narrator] ...helping each other[/i]
send out stunning entrée[/i]

after stunning entrée.

-I'm walking garnish.
-Let's do it.

Beautifully cooked. Service, please.

That tastes so good.

Last table. Keep it going.

[all] Yes, Chef.

-Chicken, Chef.
-Walking with tomahawk.

-[Ramsay] Beautifully cooked.
-Thanks.

Emily, nicely cooked, chicken.

-Thank you, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Service, please.

[Marino] Grazie.[/i]

[narrator] With all[/i]
the Blue tables complete...[/i]

-Good flavor.
-So great job, guys.

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay[/i]
has a moment to lend a hand[/i]

to one of the diners.

It's my honor having you here.

Me and my family watch you all the time.

[Ramsay] Very kind.
Can I say, it's incredibly special

to have you this evening.

-I just want a hug.
-I'd love to hug you,

but there's one more person
that needs to hug you first.

Please turn around.

[cheers and applause]

-Will you marry me?
-Yes.

[Ramsay] That was a yes,
ladies and gentlemen.

[cheers and applause]

Congratulations to you both.

-[Sam] What just happened?
-Proposal.

[Sam] Oh, my God. Keep going.

Great, but keep going.

Whoo!

-Congratulations, young man.
-[man] Thanks.

[Ramsay] Well done.

Come on, Red Team.
Let's have some energy, please.

-[all] Yes, Chef.
-How long, please?

-Let me take a look, Chef.
-Oh, my God.

-Six minutes.
-I need at least six minutes.

[Antonio] Six minutes.

This chicken has to be perfect.

Otherwise, this is it. We're out.

I have to keep the heat very, very low.

I'm making sure that nothing's overcooked.

This can bring us back
to where we need to be.

The whole dining room's waiting. How long?

Seven, Chef.

-Seven?
-[Antonio] Yes. Seven.

You just said six two minutes ago!

-[stammering]
-[Ramsay] Oh, my God.

-Yes, Chef.
-How is that possible?

Red Team, this is insane.

-Yes, Chef. I'm pushing, Chef.
-Laurel and Hardy, get a grip.

[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

What's Laurel and Hardy?

Is that a... Is that a thing?

-They're perfect.
-[Ramsay] Right. Let's go.

-Two chicken.
-They're perfect.

[Ramsay] Let's go, please. Come on.

Red Team, come here. All of you.

How long are we waiting for this table?

[Marino] Twenty five, minutes.

-Get out!
-Yes, Chef.

Enough's enough. I'm done.

The only thing missing there
is the feathers. Get out.

I guess we shouldn't have
ordered the chicken.

I am not standing there for half an hour,

like a f*cking idiot,
waiting for a chicken breast.

I'm done.

Come back to me with two nominees

that you could do without.

The good news is,
you're spoiled for f*cking choice.

Get out.

[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

[dramatic music]

You don't wanna go home.
I don't wanna go home either.

No, not at all.

Obviously I'm going up.

Antonio's going up.

But I'm gonna fight for my position.

Gonna fight for where I'm at
and fight for my team and to stay

and not be sent home.

I don't think you guys need to mention
each other's names.

Okay.

Oh, no. I... No, no.

I never put people under.

There's no reason for me to.

'Cause I'm not defending you,
nor am I going against you.

-I'm defending myself.
-[Kiya] What I'm saying.

Like, just own your own shit.

[Antonio] Sam and I agree.

Not gonna throw anybody else under.

I'm sorry. That's not who I am.

I am not trying to dog you at all.

At all.

At this point in the competition,

there should not be a complete meltdown.

Brynn, Red Team's first nominee and why.

Our first nominee, Chef...

is Antonio, Chef.

[Ramsay] Antonio. Why?

-Salmon, Chef.
-What else?

And hiding behind asparagus, Chef.

[Ramsay] Hiding behind asparagus.

It's exactly that.

Red Team's second nominee.

-Sam, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Sam.

[Brynn] Yes, Chef. He struggled

getting out the chicken tonight,

which is ultimately what got the Red Team

kicked out of the kitchen, Chef.

Antonio, Sam, step forward.

Hurry up.

This is a joke, guys.

Sam.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Tough night.

Are you the weakest cook in the Red Team?

No, Chef.

Who is?

[sighs]

[tense music]

Young man, you may sweat your nuts off

asking one question.

Is that difficult?

f*cking God help you
if you ever run a steak house

with chefs in the kitchen.

God help you.

In the Red Team, who is the weakest cook?

Chef, I... It's hard to say, between...

No, I need one answer.

One straight f*cking answer

is all required. That is it.

Who is the weakest chef in the Red Team?

Chef, tonight was...
The chicken tonight tripped me up.

[Ramsay] Oh, my God.

f*ck it, I'll move on.

Antonio...

who is the weakest cook in the Red Team?

Sam.

-Sam.
-[Antonio] Yes.

[Ramsay] Thank you.

Sam, give me your jacket, young man.

Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Listen up.

Your effort is %.

I can't ask for
a more passionate young man.

But when I ask you a question,
give me a f*cking answer.

That is it, young man.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Head up.

Continue climbing the ladder.

One day, you're gonna get there.

-Understood?
-Yes, sir.

-Thank you.
-[Sam] Thank you.

-Good job.
-Appreciate everything.

[Ramsay] Head up. Good night, Sam.

[Sam] Yeah, I'm definitely pissed.

Antonio really f*cked me over this night.

That's where the honesty was my demise.

He's the person
that should be standing here.

But, you know,
I'm not the type to push blame around.

I'm the type to own up to it and,
you know, learn from it.

Little mistakes is what kills you,

and that's what happened tonight.

-Antonio, back in line.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.

Being a great chef

is not only determined by what you do

when things are going well.

I'm looking to see how you perform...

when things are going poorly.

'Cause, Red Team, tonight

you could have prevented
that situation from happening

if somebody took control.

-Is that clear?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-Get out of here.
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Good night.
-[all] Good night, Chef.

[Antonio] Ultimately,
Sam was the worst cook.

It's the truth. I didn't lie.

And at the end of the day,
he could have said my name,

but he didn't do that.

It's a good feeling.
I mean, there's a reason I'm still here.

Chef Ramsay has the lowest
tolerance for bullshit

I think I have ever seen on a person.

And I don't know what's
going on with the Red Team,

but they are driving themselves
into the f*cking dirt,

which is great news for me, honestly.

[Brynn] Part of me thought
I was about to go home.

[Antonio] Thought I was about to...

Right now, you know,
black-jacket mentality is coming out.

And there's only six more people in my way

from that head chef position.

[Ramsay] Sam struggled
with chicken all night

and then struggled
to give me a straight answer.

I had no struggle taking his jacket.

[narrator] Next time on
Hell's Kitchen: Young g*ns[/i]...[/i]

[Ramsay] It is black jacket time.

There are seven of you,
and there's only five jackets.

Sorry. Two of y'all
are gonna have to go home,

-'cause it's not gonna be me.
-Start now.

[narrator] Find out[/i]
who will rise to the occasion...[/i]

As of now,
this is the most important day of my life.

I'm not here by chance.
I'm here to f*cking win.

-[narrator] ...and who will crack...
-[Ramsay] How you feeling?[/i]

-[narrator] ...under the pressure?
-This is w*r.[/i]

The first chef not
receiving a black jacket...

-[narrator] It's an epic battle...
-is...[/i]

[narrator] ...for black.[/i]

All next time...

This point, every man for themselves.

-[gasps]
-[narrator][/i] ... on[/i] Hell's Kitchen.
