[howling]
NARRATOR: For the
past six months
all has been quiet
at Hell's Kitchen.
But although the monster
slumbers, the memories live on.
Memories of madness.
GORDON RAMSAY: It's inedible!
It's way too peppery,
and you wouldn't
even serve it to a f*cking pig!
NARRATOR: Stories of horror.
GORDON RAMSAY: You
k*lled someone!
MAN: Don't die on
me now, please.
NARRATOR: And cries of agony.
(CRYING) I can't
believe I'm crying.
I'm cracking up right now.
GORDON RAMSAY: For
god's sake, man!
(CRYING) I just wanna go home!
NARRATOR: Only three
have ever survived
the trials of Hell's Kitchen.
Now we are
re-awakening the beast.
[dramatic music]
And the Dark Lord reigns again.
new culinary w*r heroes
are about to step into battle.
I'm chomping at the bit.
This ain't no joke.
The gloves are off.
Push!
Push!
Push!
Bring it on.
NARRATOR: This year the
stakes are bigger than ever.
One of you is going to
become the executive chef
at my new restaurant
here in Los Angeles,
position worth over quarter
of a million dollars.
You can bet I'll be
pushing these chefs
harder than I ever have before.
NARRATOR: And the chefs will
sink to new lows to win.
I'll step on people
all the way to the top.
JEN (VOICEOVER): And he threw
all of y'all up under the bus.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): Oh!
Tables are turning
a little bit now.
I have a real problem
with people who treat
people stupider than them.
I don't think stupider
is actually a word.
[interposing voices]
--said it was
f*cking beneath him--
PETROZZA (VOICEOVER):
She's a ruthless bitch.
She's evil.
NARRATOR: For some chefs,
this will be a dream world.
[laughter]
[screaming]
That was the best ever!
GORDON RAMSAY: Very
nice, that risotto.
Very nice.
NARRATOR: But for others, It
will be their worst nightmare.
Get out!
Get out!
Ahh!
Chef Ramsay freaks me out.
Wake up or piss off!
He was all up in here.
I just wanna get me some food!
It's the hardest thing
I've done in a long time.
GORDON RAMSAY
(VOICEOVER): Smurf,
put the pan on the stove!
You ignorant donkey!
f*ck this.
I'm done.
I can't take it.
I'm pissed off.
I've made it f*cking clear!
Do you wanna argue now?
MATT (VOICEOVER):
I'm standing there,
and Chef Ramsay's
standing there.
Who are you more afraid of?
Stand back!
Stand back!
ROSANN (VOICEOVER):
That's breaking my heart
into pieces right now.
(CRYING) I've never,
never felt so ashamed.
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER):
Five, four, three, two one--
stop!
Shut it down.
Shut it down!
Turn it off!
Get the f*ckers out!
Out of the way.
Same sh*t, different day.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: And now, the saga
of Hell's Kitchen continues.
These aspiring chefs are on
their way to Hell's Kitchen.
VANESSA (VOICEOVER):
I'm here because I think
Hell's Kitchen is my destiny.
Whoever I have to step
on, I can do that.
I'm here to win.
Being married to my daughter's
father, that was truly
living hell, so after
that, Hell's Kitchen
is gonna be a cakewalk.
NARRATOR: The chefs think
they know what lies ahead.
But Chef Ramsay is
planning a little surprise.
The chefs are finally
getting the chance
to size up the competition.
But what they don't know
is that Chef Ramsay will
be secretly sizing them up.
I just wanted to
congratulate you guys
and wish you good luck, but
not good enough luck to win.
My goal is to show Gordon
Ramsay that I'm the only one
that knows how to cook.
And the way I look
at it is, f*ck
you, f*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck
you, f*ck you, and f*ck you.
You're all going down.
And that's the way I look at it.
JEN (VOICEOVER): By
the way, Chef Ramsey
is gonna eat you alive walking
in his kitchen with that hat
on.
He can have the hat.
He'll just give
it back to me when
he gives me my own restaurant.
[laughter]
Oh, boy.
It's definitely a battle.
I hear these people
on the bus talking
about how they gonna win.
They ain't even in
a class with me.
They're nothing to me.
One hand will take
out any of them.
I'm the black Gordon Ramsay.
[laughter]
He's the president, and
I'm the four-star general.
It has to go that way.
Nice.
Hell yeah, baby.
Oh, man!
Oh my god.
Oh, wow.
I never thought I'd
love hell so much.
Hello there!
Look, it's Jean Philippe!
Please, gather around.
Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.
You must be all very excited
to meet Chef Gordon Ramsay.
Actually, I'm quite good in
doing an impression of him.
One spaghetti!
One risotto!
One crab!
What is this?
No!
It's overcooked!
[applause]
Very good!
Very good!
What about you?
Could you do a little
impression of Gordon?
Where's the lamb sauce!
[laughter]
What about you?
Come on!
Where is it!
I think you're gonna
have to work on it.
What about you, big guy?
Jean Philippe, it's time
to open Hell's Kitchen.
Damn, he was
doing it real good!
GORDON RAMSAY: Come here, you!
You donkey.
Wait a minute.
GORDON RAMSAY: Stop!
Shut it down.
I know that voice.
That's right.
It's me.
[screaming]
Oh, my god.
I've been sitting next
to the chef on the bus
all the f*cking time!
[screaming]
Hoo!
Didn't know it was coming.
Hold on!
Let's see if you can
actually cook as good
as you shout off on the bus.
And you, the black
Gordon Ramsay, right?
Yes, sir.
Four-star general.
GORDON RAMSAY:
It's time to button
it now and start cooking.
Get in there, and cook
me your signature dishes.
Let's go!
This is insane.
[theme music]
NARRATOR: The chefs have
been given just minutes
to prepare their
signature dishes.
And some of them desperately
need this second chance
to make a good impression.
What did I get myself into?
This is the worst sear I've
ever done in my entire life.
GORDON RAMSAY: Last minute.
Places and ready,
ALL: Yes, Chef!
Uh, OK.
DOMINIC: Behind, hot.
Skillet, hot.
This rice will be
slightly overcooked.
Woo!
Watch out!
Stop!
A chef's signature dish
explains exactly who they are.
And having traveled
here with you,
I'm excited to see what
I've got to work with.
Whose is this?
I think it's mine, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Nice hat.
I'm five-foot five.
I've always been the
short guy, the small guy.
And the reason why
I wear the chef hat
is because I gotta
feel that I'm tall,
and I'm big in the kitchen.
I've been cooking
now for years.
I haven't quite come
across a hat that size.
Small boy syndrome downstairs?
OK.
Explain the dish.
It's a jerk-seared Chilean sea
bass over rum raisin risotto.
Everything's just so sweet.
Well, the jerk
seasoning offsets
the sweetness of the risotto.
The fish might have been
doused in jerk seasoning,
but that's one thing I'm
definitely not, a f*cking jerk.
That is a pile of sh*t.
Take your hat, and f*ck off.
You come down to my kitchen
again with a ridiculous hat
on like that, I'll stick
it in your ass sideways.
CRAIG (VOICEOVER): I wear my
chef hat every single day.
I feel naked without it.
GORDON RAMSAY: Whose is this?
JEN (VOICEOVER): I
don't see anybody
being more passionate
about cooking than me.
I'm not afraid to
toot my own horn,
because if I don't toot
it, nobody else will.
Toot toot!
And what do you
do for a living?
I'm a garde manger chef
now, so I pretty much
do fruit, watermelon carving.
I can carve your face
into a watermelon,
and it would look just like you.
What's the dish?
JEN: It is a dungeness
crab and corn
risotto with a lobster tail.
Oh, no!
Damn.
The rice is raw.
Are you now on the
garde manger, which
is the cold part of the kitchen,
which confirms you can't cook.
JEN (VOICEOVER):
There's a difference
between constructive
criticism and someone
just being a butthead.
I think Chef Ramsay might need
to read a couple of books.
He has absolutely no idea
what he's talking about,
and he has absolutely no
idea who he's talking to.
NARRATOR: With this group of
hopeful's off to a bad start--
Whose is this?
NARRATOR: --Chef
Ramsay is looking
for someone to blow him away.
Private chef Corey--
That tells me a lot
about you, simple,
plain, blonde, and boring.
NARRATOR: --fails to deliver.
Sous chef Jason--
GORDON RAMSAY: It
wouldn't even pass
as something tinned in a can.
NARRATOR: --doesn't
fare much better.
And caterer Shayna--
GORDON RAMSAY: You
b*rned the thing.
NARRATOR: --leaves
Chef Ramsay still
hungry for a dish he likes.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Please, God, let there
be something on the next plate.
Oh!
MATT (VOICEOVER):
My signature dish
is gonna help me stand out,
because I'm a true culinary.
And I understand what
Gordon is looking for.
What is it?
I call it exotic
tartar, because it's
with venison and diver scallops
with caviar and white chocolate
and--
Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Let me just get
this right again.
Either I'm just
about to be punked--
diver scallops, chopped up,
caviar, and white chocolate.
Do you smoke?
Cigarettes?
No.
Raw venison, raw
quail egg, lime zest,
olive oil, scallops, caviar,
and grated white chocolate.
Capers as well.
[retching]
That must be one of the
worst combinations I've ever
tasted in years of cooking.
Piss off, will you?
MATT (VOICEOVER): I really don't
understand what Chef Ramsay
didn't like about the dish.
I'm a little boggled on that.
GORDON RAMSAY: Unreal.
Whose is this?
Uh-oh.
That's my dish.
Where did you cook?
For the last years,
I've been playing Mr. Mom,
staying home with the children
and cooking for the family.
So you're not a
professional chef.
No.
DOMINIC (VOICEOVER): I put
up with a nine-year-old and
a six-year-old hollering at me.
Chef Ramsay has
nothing on my kid.
So what is it?
That's a chicken
cacciatore and roasted orzo.
For minutes I expected
something a little bit more
exciting.
Back in line.
DOMINIC (VOICEOVER):
I felt relieved,
because at least
I didn't make him
throw up like the last dish.
GORDON RAMSAY: It
looks like a soup.
ROSANN (VOICEOVER): He was
just tearing everybody apart.
And I figured, oh my god, I'm
getting ready to get nailed.
How long have
you been cooking?
- Five years.
- And what's your position?
Right now I work in a law
office as a receptionist.
I'm just taking a temporary
leave from culinary
to watch my daughter.
OK.
What's the dish?
ROSANN: It's a
spicy muscle soup.
It's actually not too bad.
Thank you, Chef.
It's seasoned perfectly.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Receptionist in a law
office that has a palate.
Thank you.
NARRATOR: With
Rosann's dish receiving
a good review from Chef Ramsay,
things might be looking up.
Oh, f*ck me.
NARRATOR: Or are they?
What in the f*ck?
Happy Halloween?
PETROZZA (VOICEOVER): People
ask me what my specialty is,
but I don't have a specialty.
I can cook anything.
GORDON RAMSAY: What is that?
There's a Cornish
hen inside there.
A Cornish hen?
What did you do to it
to get it in there?
It got in there.
I got it in.
Holy sh*t!
These are potatoes?
PETROZZA: Yes, sir.
And how much grease and
fat and oil did you fry it?
There's some butter in there.
Some butter in that?
It's a lot of butter.
We'll stop there.
Yeah?
PETROZZA: OK.
OK.
That goes in there, yeah?
PETROZZA: All right.
And let's see what we've got
for trick or treat, shall we?
OK.
Oh, my god!
How do you get in
there and eat it?
I mean, am I missing a trick?
It's plated tableside.
Oh.
It's presented like that.
Perfect.
Right.
Take your time.
OK.
OK.
OK.
Oh my god!
That's enough there.
That's enough.
I don't think I'll get
through all that, do you?
- OK, no.
- So what's the dish called?
Hen in a pumpkin.
Right now, looking
at that mess,
I'd like to stick your f*cking
head in there, you know that.
It's dry.
PETROZZA: Yeah, well--
GORDON RAMSAY: And the pumpkin
is not even seasoned inside.
It's just bland.
You had more chance
sticking a candle in there,
making me happy for
Halloween, than you
were sticking a hen in there.
f*ck off.
PETROZZA (VOICEOVER): Chef
Ramsay said he was looking
for something memorable.
And I believe that my
dish was memorable.
NARRATOR: Now, it's
room service chef
Sharon's chance to deliver.
You know damn well
that isn't up to scratch
for Hell's Kitchen.
NARRATOR: But her
dish falls flat.
Electrician Ben gives
his best effort.
It doesn't set me
alight, but it's not bad.
NARRATOR: Culinary
student Christina--
Good concept,
terrible execution.
NARRATOR: --and
hotel cook Louross--
Could have done a lot more
NARRATOR: --receive
mediocre reviews.
There are only two
signature dishes left,
and Chef Ramsay has
yet to be excited
by anything he's tasted.
GORDON RAMSAY: Whose is this?
Mine, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: OK.
Come forward, Madam, please.
How did you cook the halibut?
I pan seared it, and
then I put in the oven
just for a little bit.
Thank you.
It's the tastiest
thing I've had all day.
Thank you, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Seasoned beautifully.
Light, fragrant.
That was delicious.
Thank you.
The best dish by miles so far.
VANESSA (VOICEOVER): Chef
Ramsay said I had the best dish.
Yeah!
GORDON RAMSAY: Guess who's last?
The four-star general,
black Gordon Ramsay.
- Yes, sir.
- Come over, big boy.
All right.
The things I was saying
on the bus was all true.
Now I got to show them proof.
And I have no problem with that.
So I'm cool.
I'm cool as a
cucumber right now.
Would you prefer
Gordon or Bobby?
You can call me Chef Bobby.
You talk the talk.
What's the dish?
BOBBY: This is a Hawaiian
butter fish with the roasted red
pepper Thai sauce.
Did you cook the fish
in the deep fat fryer?
Um, yeah, I did.
I find it embarrassingly
lazy to deep fry the fish.
So cut the bullshit,
and get back in line.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): I was like,
ah, that ain't no big deal.
I'm still a four-star general on
the streets and in the kitchen.
I'm now starting
to question, have
I got that individual that's
worthy of this phenomenal
prize?
This year the pressure is
immense, because one of you
is going to become the executive
chef at my new restaurant
here in Los Angeles,
the brand New London LA.
LOUROSS (VOICEOVER): London LA.
I want it.
Louross London LA,
that's like triple L.
You know what I'm saying?
That's like L
boogie to the b*at.
A position worth a quarter
of a million dollars.
JASON (VOICEOVER):
Winning "Hell's Kitchen"
would totally change my life.
I'm no longer just Jason.
It's Jason who won
"Hell's Kitchen"
and has a pocketful of money
and has to b*at women off
with a stick, for god's sake.
GORDON RAMSAY: These two
individuals are absolutely
crucial as sous chefs.
Scott will be
running men's team,
and Gloria be running
the girls' team.
One more thing.
This shift, for the
very first time,
we're going into service with
a captain from each team.
You will be responsible
picking those captains,
because tomorrow
night Hell's Kitchen
opens for the very first time.
Off we go to the dorms.
OK, everybody.
Follow me.
NARRATOR: The chefs
have little time
to settle into their
new home, because they
have to complete their first
assignment, choosing a captain.
CHRISTINA: Vanessa,
I'm actually right now
gearing towards you
to be the leader,
because you did good today.
OK.
Vanessa?
All right.
Unanimous.
Yay!
They chose me as captain.
It's my responsibility
to make sure
that our service goes well.
And if it doesn't
go well, then I will
be the one thrown off first.
NARRATOR: The women have
wasted no time deciding
who will be their team captain.
The same, however, can't
be said for the men.
OK, so the captain.
- Who wants to do it?
- I want to do it.
Show of hands.
I'll do it.
I'll do it I know I can do it.
I'm not going to back down
CRAIG (VOICEOVER):
It's frustrating,
because we have everybody
saying they wanna be captain.
It was like a circus act.
We have to be
together right now.
They might be able to--
NARRATOR: While the men
spend their time arguing,
the women get to work.
JEN: I think right now it would
be best to memorize the menu.
NARRATOR: With new dishes,
this Hell's Kitchen menu
is the most challenging yet.
I can memorize three.
That's about it.
Oh my gosh, we have this
huge binder of recipes.
And it's a little
stressful that we have
to learn it in so little time.
NARRATOR: While the
women hit the books,
the men have hit a wall.
All right, guys, we've
got to make a decision.
I vote me for captain.
You wanna just go Bobby?
Because if I'm seeing
someone struggle,
I'm good enough to lend a hand.
Who votes Bobby?
[interposing voices]
Do it.
We're going with Bobby.
Roll!
I'm pretty much ready
to rock and roll.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bing-ba-ba-ba-ba!
LOUROSS: Try to get some sleep
as much as you can, guys.
Exactly I ain't gonna look
at that damn book tonight.
JEN: What time is it?
Almost : .
[snoring]
NARRATOR: With only hours
until the grand reopening
of Hell's Kitchen, the
aspiring chefs have
their work cut out for them.
All right, ladies.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: In the blue
kitchen, the four-star general
is leading his troops.
How's everybody doing?
Scallops are done.
Beautiful!
If you need a set of
hands, I'll be there.
MATT (VOICEOVER): Bobby
is great as a leader.
We had some great team
spirit and great teamwork.
Everybody doing all right?
ALL: Yes, Chef.
JASON (VOICEOVER): I'll
be damned if I'm going
to lose to a team of girls.
The only thing I'm
going to lose to a woman
is like an ironing contest.
We got this, Bobby.
NARRATOR: While the men
quickly find their footing,
the women try to
find their leader.
Where's Vanessa at?
She's been gone for a minute.
You guys, you're
going really super slow.
You're going to
have to speed it up
COREY (VOICEOVER) I
was hoping Vanessa
would step up as leader.
I think tonight
has the possibility
of being a train wreck.
Ow!
Son of a bitch!
GORDON RAMSAY: All
right, guys, let's go.
Come over, please.
Ladies, let's go.
NARRATOR: The doors
of Hell's Kitchen
will open in just a few
minutes, and Chef Ramsay is
excited to unveil his new menu.
Tonight should be
the most successful
opening ever in Hell's Kitchen.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): The
blue team is ready to go.
I'm not letting that
team lose tonight.
GORDON RAMSAY: Bobby, what are
the five entr es on the menu?
Uh-- We have--
I'm not sure--
Matt, what are
the five entr es?
Uh-- There's a--
I don't know them, Chef.
What!
Petrozza, what are the entr es?
Um--
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay has just
discovered one minor problem--
Nobody has a damn
clue of what's going on.
Ugh!
GORDON RAMSAY: My god.
Christina, what are
the five entr es?
We have a lamb
en croute, salmon,
John Dory, beef fillet, and
poached and roasted chicken,
sir.
Thank you.
CHRISTINA (VOICEOVER):
The guys suck, and they're
going to go down in flames.
That makes me happy.
[bell rings]
Guys!
What is the matter?
Right now you look
like a bunch of dicks.
We haven't even f*cking opened.
Knowing the menu is one
thing, cooking the menu
is another thing.
Tonight for the first
time ever in Hell's Kitchen,
I've created amuse-bouche, a
little, stunning pre-starter.
One person from blue team and
one person from the red team
will be serving tableside.
Petrozza, tableside.
Shayna, tableside.
Here we go, yes?
Jean Philippe, open
Hell's Kitchen.
Yes, Chef.
[laughing]
Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.
GUEST: I'll start
with the Caesar salad.
Pan roasted scallops, please.
JEAN PHILIPPE: First order
on the blue side, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Two scallop,
one risotto, one Caesar salad.
NARRATOR: As the orders
start to come in,
the pressure is on to get
appetizers to the pass.
GORDON RAMSAY: Where's Jason?
Where is he on the appetizers?
Where is he?
[crickets]
GORDON RAMSAY: We haven't
even started service for .
Where is he?
That's what I'm going
to ask him myself, Chef.
[crickets]
Jason!
What's he doing?
Jason!
Jason!
Jason!
CRAIG (VOICEOVER): Jason
was like a magician.
He kind of disappeared.
It's like, what the
f*ck are you thinking?
GORDON RAMSAY: Can you get
your ass down here please!
Yes, Chef.
Oh my god!
NARRATOR: While both kitchens
start on the appetizers--
JEN: The pea salad goes
on top of the risotto.
NARRATOR: The first flamb s are
lighting up the dining room.
SHAYNA: It's really just a way
to get your palate excited.
How is everybody's eyebrows?
PETROZZA: How are
you this evening?
The weather's still
pretty outside, huh?
NARRATOR: While Petrozza
keeps the diners warm
on the blue side--
GORDON RAMSAY: Petrozza!
Don't set the room
on fire, you donkey!
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: On the
red side, the women
look to Sharon to take control
of the appetizer station.
JEN: No, you've gotta saut
onions and garlic first,
just a little bit.
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me do it
JEN (VOICEOVER): I'm
a little concerned
about Sharon, a/k/a Barbie.
I call her Barbie because
she's blond with big knockers.
But she seems a little
ditzy sometimes.
- How long?
- Five minutes, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Five minutes.
JEN: Three minutes, Chef, three.
- Three!
Three, three,
three, three, three.
Who's on this section?
JEN: Yes.
I'm on this section.
JEN: She is, Chef, but I see
it-- it's almost there, Chef.
SHARON (VOICEOVER): I'm a
little irritated with Jen.
She can be overbearing at times.
Risotto's coming over, guys.
Leave it up there.
GORDON RAMSAY: Sharon, do
you run away from this,
or are you making this?
Taste that.
No seasoning.
Oh, come on, Sharon.
It's like rice pudding.
SHARON (VOICEOVER): Chef
Ramsay didn't like the risotto,
but you know what?
That's not just my fault.
And it's too bad that Chef
Ramsay didn't see that.
ROSANN: Are we ready to
plate the scallops, girls?
No, we've gotta
redo the risotto.
It's coming,
SHARON: I'm so embarrassed.
- Come on, Vanessa.
Wakey, wakey.
Get a grip.
Yes?
VANESSA: Yes, Chef.
Yes?
VANESSA (VOICEOVER): We're all
a bunch of blind monkeys trying
to run around in the
kitchen, and there
is nothing I can do about it.
Which one are you cooking?
- This one.
- Whose is this one?
I don't know.
I'll get rid of it.
Oh, come on, Sharon.
NARRATOR: While
Sharon struggles,
Jason is ready to bring his
first appetizer to the pass.
GORDON RAMSAY: Let me taste it.
No.
[burp]
GORDON RAMSAY: You, taste that.
It was terrible,
terrible, terrible.
It needs salt.
It doesn't need salt.
Oh, my god.
I'll make it again.
The scallops are going.
There was some wasted food
right there, that's for sure.
GORDON RAMSAY: Right now,
we are looking stupid!
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): Jason sucks.
I could've ran the
appetizers, cold salads, meat.
But I'm a nice guy.
I didn't want to make
them feel stupid.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Bobby, look at me.
As long as you're
sitting pretty, right?
That's your game, isn't it?
- No, no, no, no.
I just don't want to
dig in over there.
There's too many
people out there.
How about a vote
of confidence,
a little bit of support?
BEN (VOICEOVER): Even if Bobby
didn't know what was going on,
at least put some damn
scoot in your boot
and try and get some sh*t done.
GORDON RAMSAY: A little bit
of cooking with the eyes, no?
Yes.
f*cking useless.
NARRATOR: While Bobby
takes a hands-off approach
to leadership, over
in the red kitchen,
Sharon has made another
attempt at her first risotto.
GORDON RAMSAY: What
have you put in there?
It stinks of garlic,
garlic risotto.
Where's the water?
Sharon, enough's enough.
f*ck off and go put
some more makeup on.
You get on there.
Yes, Chef.
SHARON (VOICEOVER):
Just because I
look pretty doesn't
mean I cannot
cook I like to look nice.
I don't think there's
nothing wrong with that.
GORDON RAMSAY: Madam!
JEN (VOICEOVER): Yes, Chef!
Can I have a risotto?
Three minutes.
NARRATOR: It's minutes
to dinner service,
and with no food
leaving either kitchen,
frustrations are building
in the dining room.
JEAN PHILIPPE: I can
get you a bit of wine.
I can get you water.
GUEST: You can bring food,
and you didn't bring it.
I can give you my smile.
That's useless.
What do we have
for an appetizer?
Bread.
NARRATOR: With the bread supply
in Hell's Kitchen dwindling,
the pressure is on Jason to
get some food to the pass.
Jason!
JASON: Yes, Chef.
Scallops risotto, how long?
Right now.
Right now.
GORDON RAMSAY: Where
are the scallops?
What is that?
It's got little burnt
bits of something in it.
GORDON RAMSAY: Oh, my god.
The rice is overcooked.
- I know.
That's hot.
- Hey, you!
Come here!
I've had enough!
You can't even get two
f*cking dishes together.
That's how sh*t you've been.
I don't want any
more embarrassments.
I just want to get me some food!
NARRATOR: It's over an hour
into the first dinner service,
and Jason is about
to get an invitation.
Sit down.
Eat that.
I want you to taste what you're
trying to serve Hell's Kitchen.
Sit down.
Let me know when you're done.
I'll get dessert.
JASON (VOICEOVER): I'm
horribly embarrassed at myself.
I should have
f*cking stayed home.
Stuff your face, you bastard.
NARRATOR: With Jason enjoying
a sit-down dinner at the pass
and no food leaving
the blue kitchen,
only Petrozza's
flamb is keeping
the customers from hunger.
PETROZZA: I'm Lou Petrozza.
It's Petrozza.
Just call me Petrozza.
Ultimately, the goal is to
make the customers happy.
So I was chatting a little bit.
Go quickly.
Go quickly.
OK.
I'm gonna hustle.
Come on, oil.
NARRATOR: While Petrozza abides
his time in the dining room,
back in the red kitchen--
Y'all got the scallops now?
NARRATOR: --Jen does
her best to resuscitate
the appetizer station.
JEN: They're coming.
Flip them over.
Flip them over.
Come on, y'all, please,
before he gets over here.
I'm not just some young girl
who don't know what she's doing.
I have mad skills
in the kitchen.
GORDON RAMSAY: Who turned
the eggs over like that?
We serve eggs like that?
CHRISTINA (VOICEOVER) Hello!
I don't think it's that
hard frying an egg.
GORDON RAMSAY: I want them up!
Oh, come on.
Rosann, can you take control?
ROSANN: Yes, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Vanessa,
get the captain badge
off your f*cking arm, will you?
Rosann, away!
ROSANN: OK, ladies, come on.
Let's get one scallop and
one Caesar to this window.
How long?
VANESSA (VOICEOVER):
I sucked as a captain.
It was pretty bad.
ROSANN: What's with the
chicken, the chicken?
What does the chicken get?
Chick, chick, chick,
chick, chicken and gnocchi.
I seriously don't know why
Chef Ramsay didn't pick me.
I did a lot of stuff
to exhibit leadership.
That's wrong.
It really is.
ROSANN: All right.
Let's go with that scallop
dish first, Caesar second.
Eggs first, then scallops.
Yes, that's correct.
Are you mad?
You mad at me?
- No.
Oh.
ROSANN (VOICEOVER) I believe
she had a little chip
on her shoulder or something.
When it's crunch time I'm
more aggressive, more vocal.
Vanessa's Hannah Montana,
and I'm from New York City.
How long we looking, girls?
You said two minutes?
JEN: We have one minute.
One minute to the window.
NARRATOR: While Rosann
attempts to bring order
to the red kitchen,
Dominic is getting
a little one-on-one
time with Chef Ramsay.
Touch that.
Touch that.
Rubber.
They're rubber like a
ball of elastic bands,
like a f*cking golf ball.
Golf ball!
I couldn't saut a scallop
to save my ass tonight.
Everything you've
cooked, you've screwed.
Have you ever cooked
a scallop before?
Hoo!
What a disaster!
He hasn't got the tuna in.
Why are you putting
more scallops in there?
And you're like this
with the scallops.
Ah, f*ck me!
sh*t!
Bobby.
Yes.
GORDON RAMSAY: I'm
looking for someone
to take control of this
disgusting, embarrassing mess.
He doesn't give a f*ck.
He's dreaming.
He's standing there, pissed his
pants looking for his tartar
caviar white chocolate crap.
And he's just running
around like a toilet brush.
Is anyone going to take control?
Jump in, everybody.
Jump in there, baby.
I don't wanna jump in.
You guys got it over there.
We're making so much confusion,
if I get in over there--
you've got six set of hands.
You don't need eight
set of hands over there.
I don't want to join the chaos.
CRAIG (VOICEOVER):
He's the captain.
I mean, to just be
like, yeah I don't want
to get into this chaos,
that's basically like saying,
f*ck you, I quit.
You ain't gotta worry
about what's over here.
When you call for
it, you got it.
NARRATOR: While Captain Bobby
is willing to watch his ship
go down without him,
over in the red kitchen--
ROSANN: How's that risotto, Jen?
You ready for us?
JEN: Yeah, I guess.
NARRATOR: Jen is doing
all she can to keep
her appetizer station afloat.
GORDON RAMSAY: Let
me see the risotto.
Please, God, let
the risotto be good.
Please, God.
GORDON RAMSAY: Very
nice, the risotto.
Hallelujah.
[sigh] Thank you, Chef Ramsay.
Yes, yes, yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
Come on, ladies, we're
getting our mojo back.
NARRATOR: With Rosann in charge
and Jen mastering the risotto,
the red team is finally getting
appetizers out to their diners.
Oh, this is great!
NARRATOR: But over
in the blue kitchen,
the men are at a
complete standstill.
DOMINIC: Jason, how
much on the risotto?
Three or four minutes, man.
Don't worry about scallops yet.
DOMINIC: I'm gonna
do two orders.
JASON: As soon as I'm
ready, I'll let you know.
Just wait a second.
I don't want you
f*cking up again.
Yeah.
That's bland.
It looks terrible.
Come here.
Taste that.
All of you!
Run, Dominic, you
lazy f*ck-up, and you
put your fingers in there.
Oh, my god.
Look.
Snot.
f*ck off.
Useless f*cking pieces of sh*t!
You know it's crap!
Not one of you got the balls
to do anything about it!
I didn't taste it yet.
LOUROSS: Guys, is just simple.
Just go, man, come on!
Let's redo it!
I didn't see anybody
taste their food today.
They just get into the
groove as if you're
making love to the kitchen.
Season it with a little
bit of salt and pepper.
That's all.
Now you, take that badge off.
Give it to that little
fucker over there.
Thank god someone's
got a pair of balls.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): I'm not the
type of guy that will be like,
oh my god, I'm a bad chef now.
No, no, not at all.
Louross can have that
captain's position.
I'm still a general.
To me, he's still a private.
How long risotto?
How long on scallops?
- Two and a half minutes.
LOUROSS: If you guys are down
to the one-minute mark, one
more minute.
NARRATOR: As Louross tries to
whip the blue team into shape,
the red team has
served appetizers
to three more tables--
Are we ready now
with that beef?
We're ready.
NARRATOR: --and are starting
their first entr es.
Who cooked this chicken?
I did, Chef.
Come here.
Let's get all together now.
ROSANN: Come on, ladies.
- Will you hold the chicken?
Yes, sir.
Oh, sh*t.
Pass it around.
COREY (VOICEOVER):
I thought either
a pan was gonna get thrown,
glass was gonna get shattered.
Someone was getting hurt.
GORDON RAMSAY:
Throw me the ball.
That's f*cking
[inaudible] around us.
COREY (VOICEOVER): It happened
to be the chicken, so sorry
to the chicken.
It's rubber!
Plastic dried sh*t.
NARRATOR: While the red
kitchen tries to bounce back
from Cory's rubber
chicken, Louross finally
has the blue kitchen moving.
Risotto coming up, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Gold star, Jason.
Service, please.
JASON (VOICEOVER): I
finally got the hang of it.
I feel like a million
f*cking dollars.
I finally did
something positive.
NARRATOR: There's just
one small problem.
What's the matter?
JEAN PHILIPPE: They're
all leaving, Chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: What?
Stop!
Look out there!
Your customers have gone!
Shut it down.
Clear down.
DOMINIC: Nothing to be proud of.
CRAIG (VOICEOVER): I'm
totally, utterly embarrassed.
I really am.
ROSANN (VOICEOVER):
It was just a mess
tonight in our red kitchen.
It was really, really a mess.
NARRATOR: It's been one of the
most disastrous dinner services
in the history of
Hell's Kitchen.
But Chef Ramsay must still
decide on a winning team.
Tonight, no entr e
served whatsoever.
Bobby, you hid behind your team.
You performed like a coward.
BOBBY: If I get in over there,
I don't wanna join the chaos.
Is anyone going
to take control?
Jason, you sunk your kitchen.
Vanessa, it's like having
a mouse on service.
Corey, that chicken
bounced off the wall,
and nearly left the restaurant.
It's rubber!
Let's be honest.
No one's won here tonight.
The losing team tonight--
--is the men.
Louross, clearly you tried.
The best of the very worst.
Go back to the
dorms, and choose two
individuals up for elimination.
LOUROSS: My team
totally d*ed tonight.
No communication,
no energy, no focus.
That's fricking embarrassing.
- Oof.
Holy sh*t.
I am glad that that's over.
It ain't over yet, dude.
JASON (VOICEOVER): I
might be going home.
I tried my best.
It was nowhere near good enough.
But I did better than Bobby.
I hope he gets a f*cking
foot so far up his ass
he can taste it in the morning.
Bobby needs to go.
Period.
Bobby, he just sat there
like a bump on a log.
He left us bone dry tonight.
He left us out for the dogs.
He ought to be embarrassed,
very embarrassed.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER): I don't
need to call to Louross
and beg him to not eliminate me.
That's not my style.
I don't kiss no ass.
LOUROSS: What do you
think how you did?
He would tell me,
we need the scallops.
I made them.
I overcooked them, and
I cooked them too slow.
It's not like cooking
at home for the family.
I feel that I did poorly.
I've been out of the
kitchen for years,
but I don't want
to go home tonight.
LOUROSS: What's your take on it?
I tried, but I
didn't know the menu.
Neither did anybody else.
Whenever we have service, I
just want you to feel alive.
You know what I'm saying?
JASON: Just couldn't
keep my energy level up.
But that ain't going to
f*cking happen again.
LOUROSS (VOICEOVER):
Blah, blah, blah.
Jason, he had a bad night.
He just kept messing
up and messing up.
I'm not going to lie.
I'd like to stay, but you
do what you got to do.
LOUROSS (VOICEOVER): I am really
in a tough spot right now.
I gotta nominate two people.
So I don't even know what to do.
You know you and I are
getting put up tonight, right?
- Yeah I know about it.
- I've gotta think that.
It's you or me.
I'm sorry, but
that's what I think.
NARRATOR: Tonight
the women rest easy
knowing that they are safe.
Now the men are about to
learn which two of them
will be nominated by
Louross for elimination.
Louross.
Chef.
First nominee and why, please.
LOUROSS: First nominee
I pick is Bobby.
He was the captain.
But then come service time,
focus wasn't there no more.
Our side was pretty much
dead of communication.
Second nominee and why.
Second nominee is--
is Dominic.
He just couldn't get
the orders on time.
GORDON RAMSAY: Dominic and
Bobby, step forward, please.
Oh, dear.
Dominic.
Yes, Chef.
Why should you stay
in Hell's Kitchen?
I was misdirected.
I was never guided
properly by my captain.
How many scallops did
you put in the bin tonight?
Scallops are going.
That would be--
?
.
.
Black Gordon Ramsay,
why should you stay?
There was a lot
are running around
and pretending like some
food was getting produced.
But in all actuality, my
entr es were ready to go.
Let's cut the bullshit.
Did you do a good job
as a captain, yes or no?
Jump in there, Bobby.
Jump in, baby
I don't want to jump in.
You guys got it over there.
No, Chef.
First time you've given
me a straight answer
since you've been here.
Dominic and Bobby, both of
you could've done better.
My decision is--
Dominic, take off your jacket
and leave Hell's Kitchen.
You, wake up.
DOMINIC: Thank you.
Good night.
DOMINIC: Thank you.
Being here and being
sent home first night
is really a heartbreaker.
I had an opportunity to
work with Chef Ramsay.
It was a dream of mine,
but that dream was dashed.
GORDON RAMSAY: Bobby,
you threw the towel in.
BOBBY (VOICEOVER) This is Chef
Ramsay's way of telling me,
you need to step it
up I'm ready for it,
because he's gonna find out
there's a diamond in the rough.
GORDON RAMSAY: Jason.
Yes, Chef.
You dodged the
b*llet, big boy.
I can do better, Chef.
We embarrassed male chefs
all over the world today.
Well, it's on now.
There's no way in hell
I'm losing to girls again.
That ain't happening.
This has been the
worst ever start
and the most amazing prize.
If you think I'm taking this
lightly, you're f*cking joking.
Get out.
To be great chef,
you need passion,
creativity, and talent.
Dominic had passion,
but that was it.
Next Next time on
"Hell's Kitchen"--
I've never seen so much
fantastic produce wasted.
NARRATOR: With an executive
position at Chef Ramsay's
restaurant on the line--
[retching]
NARRATOR: --everyone is
pushed to the breaking point.
Petrozza.
Don't stop working!
Wipe your eyes.
I'm done.
NARRATOR: And at dinner, the
women don't exactly get along.
She just yelled it was coming.
Don't call me out
front everybody.
You and you are putting
the kitchen in the sh*t.
NARRATOR: And one of the men
pushes Chef Ramsay too far.
Stop!
It's f*cking cold!
It's f*cking raw!
Get out!
NARRATOR: But his most shocking
decision comes at elimination.
There's someone here that
I just don't believe in.
NARRATOR: It's a
"Hell's Kitchen"
you have to see to believe.
