🔥 ABOUT THE SHOW
In Hell’s Kitchen, two teams compete for the prestigious job of head chef at a top restaurant, all under the guidance of world-class fiery chef Gordon Ramsay.
NARRATOR: With the
chefs realizing that the awarding
of black jackets will be happening soon–
– Let’s go. – Let’s go.
– Let’s go. Let’s go. NARRATOR: They want
to take advantage of every opportunity they
have to impress Chef Ramsay. Let’s go. And then there were seven. Now, as a chef, we always
rely on our senses, right? ALL: Yes, chef. The sense of taste is
obviously the most important, but our sense of hearing–
crucial. Our sense of smell helps us
to identify aromas, fragrance. And then our sense of sight. There is one sense
that I left out. And that is– Zach? [ticking] Touch. Touch, that’s right. I want to try an experiment. I’m looking for
two volunteers, one from each team, who are in
touch with all their senses. Let’s go with Cyndi and Anthony. Today, I’m going to be
testing your sense of touch. James, please. I’m kind of confused
about what today’s challenge is going to be. It’s always new, so
we just have to go in there ready to go for
whatever he has to throw at us. OK, Cyndi and Anthony,
please come over. I will be placing an
ingredient inside the box, and then I’ll ask
you to put your arm inside the hole to feel around
and try to guess what’s inside. There could be
weird things in there like a pair of Zach’s
boxers or a dragon. [dragon growl] [laughing] His face makes me nervous. Hands through, gently. I’m a little apprehensive
about just jamming my hand into an unknown place. ZACH: Come on, Anthony. You got it, baby. JON: You use it all the time.
– You know this, Cyndi. You know this.
MARY: You know it, girl. It’s definitely gross, I mean,
for it to be slimy and wet. It can freaking be anything. On the count of three,
shout out the answer. One, two, three. – Eggs.
– Eggs. Good job. ALL: [cheering and clapping] This looks fun. I would be game to go next. Hands in, gently. MARY: Come on, Cynd. You got this.
– There you go, Anthony. Get a big handful, man. GORDON RAMSAY: The
first one was easy. This one is difficult. Quinoa, maybe, but it’s mush. It’s potato. It’s got to be something
in between the two. GORDON RAMSAY: And
one, two, three. – Polenta.
– Polenta. [game show ding]
– Nice. Very good, very nice.
– Wow, good job. Wow, you guys are awesome. The blue team really has
a chance right now, man. Anthony’s on fire today. NARRATOR: This could
be the tie breaker. GORDON RAMSAY: Put your hand
at the bottom of the bowl. There you go. Yeah, just like
really get in there. JON: Yeah, you know this one. What the hell, Chef? What did you put in this bowl? And it’s ice cold, and
it feels like snot. OK, on the count
of three, both of you shout out the answer. Wait, no, no, no. One– Come on, Ant, you got it. –two– – Come on, Cyndi, one more.
– –three. – Oysters.
– Fuck, oysters. Oh, God. Well done, Anthony. Well done.
– Great job, man. – Good job, Anthony.
– Well done. Congratulations. The winner is Anthony. Job well done, Anthony. Job well done. OK, listen carefully. Your reward for winning
the touch test is zero. ALL: [laughing].
– Really? And you know why? That’s not the real challenge. But of course that’s
not the challenge. No rewards for Anthony. As professional chefs, there
is one sense that is way more important than any other sense. So it’s time for the 11th
annual blind taste test. Yes. Yes, that is
going to be awesome. JON: This is why I’ve
been waiting for. We can win this challenge
with only three of us. But with these two
idiots over here, you got to be on your
fucking game today. Time to put your
palates to work. Ready? ALL: Yes, Chef. Blue team, you have
three left on your team. So one of your
team will go twice. Decide amongst you who you
think has the best palate. (MUTTERING) What do you want. Who wants to go? Anyone want to go? I think I’ll go. I feel like I’ve got
a pretty good palate. – You think you do?
– Yeah. [whispering] Zach is a lot of talk. Feeling pretty good, dude. I’m very nervous
about Chef Jon because he smokes like
a fucking chimney, and I don’t want to lose again. Blue team, who’s going twice? Hurry up. Wait, wait a minute. You want to step up?
Yeah. Cool.
I trust you. That’s right. Trust me, baby. I know what I’m doing. I’ve got this. Blue team, who’s going twice? – Zach is.
– Zach? – Yes, Chef.
– Wow. [laughing] Yes. Zach’s a moron. This should be a piece of cake. Today, you could be
the blue team’s hero. Zach. Essentially the competition
is riding on your shoulders. Don’t fuck this up. Who is going first
for the red team? Oh, that’s me. There we go. OK, great. Mary, Zach, let’s go. I am pumped to just
beat the crap out of him. Come on, encourage me. – [cheering]
– OK. Blindfolds on. Let’s go. NARRATOR: To be a great
chef, one must obviously possess a superior palate,
and the blind taste test is one of the key
methods that Chef Ramsay uses to evaluate the chefs. Zach, you donut,
can you hear me? ALL: [laughing] NARRATOR: Now, one
chef from each team will attempt to identify– OK, let’s go. NARRATOR: –four different
foods simply by taste. GORDON RAMSAY: First one– scallions. NARRATOR: The team with
the most correct answers wins the challenge. Scallions. [game show ding] Yes. Good job. Shallots, Chef. [game show buzzer] GORDON RAMSAY: Scallions. MARY: Oh, man. It was scallions. What was I thinking? Like, I should have went
with my gut, and I didn’t. I’m such a freaking idiot. Papaya. Like feeding an infant. Um. It’s, uh– it’s, uh– a– plum.
[game show buzzer] GORDON RAMSAY: Wrong. Come on, Mary. Plums. [game show buzzer] Wrong. Wow, man. She’s so heartbroken. Turkey. Just don’t say chicken. Turkey. [game show ding] Chef Ramsay, that’s turkey. Your job turkey? Come on, Mary. It’s really dry. But the flavor is really weird. Egg yolk?
[game show buzzer] Oh, my god. Did you just say
egg yolk for turkey? Turkey and egg yolk don’t
even have the same texture, Mar. GORDON RAMSAY: Turkey. Ugh. I’m like failing miserably. What is wrong with me? Zucchini. Come on Mary, you’ve
got to get one point. Get three. Get three. Squash. – I’ll take it.
– Yes. – There we go.
– Zucchini. Yes. Yeah. Thank God. At least Mary gets one right. That is so hard. Mary, at the end of the
day, Chef Zach is the top dog. I’m numero uno. Never forget it. Not bad, Zach. You’ve got the blue team
off to a great lead. Ja’nel, Anthony, let’s go. I’m confident in my palate. I’ve tasted a lot of
things eyes closed. I’ll knock it out. We’ll be good to go. GORDON RAMSAY: Here we go. Broccoli. It’s very distinct. I’m definitely nervous
going into this taste test. Not being able to
identify things you eat every day will
be pretty embarrassing. – Broccoli?
– Yes. Yes. [game show ding] Potato? [game show buzzer] Oh, shit. It’s so simple. Next one, pistachio. Oh, yeah. – Super easy.
– Cashews, Chef. [game show buzzer] Come on, Ja’nel. Pistachio? Yes. They just caught up. You’re using it every day. Halibut. Oh, God, that’s
going to be hard. I know that it’s a firm
fish like salmon or bass. I’m really thinking
that it’s tuna. [game show buzzer] GORDON RAMSAY: Wrong. Halibut. Oh, man. Tuna, Chef. [game show buzzer] Halibut. Anthony. Next one. Prune. Prunes kind of
taste like a grandma. They’re really sweet. They’re sticky.
They’re yucky. Ugh. Come on, baby. Prunes? Yes. Great job. I know you can
fucking do it Anthony. Just give us a point. God. Come on. Um– The tapes ain’t working. Shit. That’s Chef– um. Hit him, Chef. Hit him. Licorice.
It’s not licorice. [game show buzzer] Ugh, Anthony, you fuck. Good job, Ja’nel. Good job, Janel. Wow. – Ja’nel–
– Yes Chef? –three out of four.
Great job. Thank you. And Anthony, zero out of four. – God.
– Well done, Ja’nel. Thank you, Chef. Ja’nel, three, Anthony,
big, fat, goose egg. Zero. [game show buzzer] Good job, girl. NARRATOR: It’s halfway
through the challenge, and Ja’nel’s strong
performance has put the red team up by one point. Let’s go, Cyndi and Jon. NARRATOR: And Cyndi is
hoping to extend the lead. Let’s start with an easy one. Cheddar. NARRATOR: Both chefs
earn a point with– – Cheddar, Chef.
– Cheddar? Yes. That’s my girl. NARRATOR: Next up, they try– Duck. Duck? Great job. Chicken, Chef? [game show buzzer] Oh, man. Nice NARRATOR: With a score
once again tied– Parsnip. Parsnip. NARRATOR: –Cyndi
answers correctly– – Parsnip, Chef.
– Yes. – Yes.
– Yes. Yes, great. –while John guesses– Squash. [game show buzzer] NARRATOR: And their final
ingredient is Brussels sprouts. Chopped cauliflower? [game show buzzer] This is terrible. Come on, sweetie. Cauliflower, Chef. [game show buzzer] NARRATOR: With both
chefs failing to earn a point with Brussels sprouts– Good job.
Sort – Sorry about the duck guys.
– No, you got that. NARRATOR: The reds team
has a one-point margin. All the pressure now
is on Zach and Susan. Let’s go. You got this. Go, red team. Come on, Susan. Second time around, Zach. Now we’re going to
start upping the ante. I’m confident I can
turn his back around. White asparagus. Come on. Come on, Susan. I need Susan to
straight up kick his butt because I didn’t have
the pleasure of doing that. It tastes really
kind of bitter. It’s crunchy. I think it’s radish.
[game show buzzer] Dammit. It’s something we
serve on the menu. Celery? [game show buzzer] Wrong. Egg white. Boiled. CYNDI: That’s a big mouthful.
JA’NEL: Yeah, it is. Hardboiled egg. Yes. Blue point. One more for the home team. Soy. Oh, God. Damn, damn. All tied up. This is not looking good. Garbanzo beans. Fuck, that one
I would have got. You know this, Susan. You eat it all the time. CYNDI: You love this. It tastes like mush. Almost reminiscent
of fresh baby food. Peas? – Oh, man.
– Really? GORDON RAMSAY: Garbanzo beans. God, dang it. I eat hummus all the time. Why did I not get this? Zach, you know this. Green peas. [game show buzzer] Green peas. Last one each. NARRATOR: With the
teams tied at six and only one ingredient
left, it all comes down to– cauliflower. Zach, you can still
pull this off, man. Come on. Come on Susan, I
know you got this. Come on, Zach. Come on, Zach. Red radish. [game show buzzer] Oh, my God. Dammit. Wrong. Cauliflower. If Susan gets this right,
the red team have won. – Come on, Susan.
– Come on, Susan. Come on, Susan. Please. Susan, this is all
riding on your shoulders. You have to get this point. – Cauliflower?
– Yes. Yes. Yeah. Good job. You just won it for your team. Yes. We just won again. Wow, it feels amazing
to have, not only one, but to have clinched
it for the red team. Wow, the star of
the red team, Ja’nel. Three for four. Good job, ladies. Anthony, a disaster. The only person
that gets shut out. Embarrassing. Ladies, well done. Thank you, Chef. This one, you
are going to laugh. You’ll be treated to some of
the finest and freshest seafood in the world at the
international-renowned Nobu in Malibu. RED TEAM: [cheering] Then you’ll be
heading to the Santa Monica mountains, where you’ll
saddle up for a horseback ride. RED TEAM: [cheering] Oh, my gosh. We’re Course horseback riding? I’m so excited. Of you go.
Enjoy it. Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef. Let’s do this. Horseback riding. Oh my goodness. Oh, dear. I don’t know how
to tell you this, but you are in for an
incredibly painful day. Because today is delivery day. We are running short
of supplies and we have truckloads on their way. Head out to the front. Let’s go. The punishment
today is the worst. I wish we would be
hanging out in Malibu, but Chef Anthony has a palate
like a bottom of a shoe. Get your back braces on. There’ll be a lot of lifting. BLUE TEAM: [grunting] Awesome times ahead. RED TEAM: [cheering] This is why I’m so strong. Wow. What are you guys carrying? Wow, look at those muscles. Yeah. We’re going to go
horseback riding. Bye, guys. We’re getting out of
Hell’s Kitchen again. Enjoy yourselves. Malibu, here we come again. Wow. Talk about right on the water. Walking up to Nobu, you can
hear the waves just rolling in, which is so serene. This is gorgeous. Wow, this is amazing. Just by the looks of
it, I know this is going to be an amazing lunch. To the red team. That is so good. Oh my god. This food is out of control. It’s absolutely delicious. RED TEAM: [exclamations] I wonder what the guys
are doing right now. Yeah, feel that burn. Oh, my god. Look at me, fucking out. Great. I’ve just got flour
all fucking over me. Anthony, you got flour all
over the red carpet, man. Let’s get this cleaned up. Flour here, flour there. More over there. Flour everywhere. You try and sweep the
flour and you’re outside. The wind’s blowing. You’re just breathing
it in, basically. Baker’s lung, here I come. [honking] What now? [honking sound] It’s
another delivery. Bread. All right. It’s going to
be a lot of trips. NARRATOR: While the
blue team continues their backbreaking labor
up in the mountains– The view, ladies. NARRATOR: –the women have
saddled up for their joy ride. This is awesome. Look at the ocean. Luna, you are incredible. Thank you for
being a good horse. Luna is an easy ride. It’s so natural. Your whole body
moves with the horse. I’m like bouncing,
bouncing, bouncing. It feels fantastic. [horse whinny] I feel like a million bucks. [honking and beeping] Look at that. 4,000 pounds of ice. At least. What’s up, guys? Could somebody sign for this? Yeah, I’ll sign for it. Ah, yes. Fuck load of ice. – You OK with that?
– Yeah, yeah. You sure? All right. Oh, fuck it. How much does this bitch weigh? I’m lifting hundreds of pounds. My body’s aching. It felt like I was doing a
PX90 workout or some shit. Oh, it burns so good. Zach, how much room we got? Both freezers are full? Are we supposed to
have this much ice? You got more? Yeah. We’re not even close to done. JON: Why’s there so much ice? I’m going to make it fit. It’s a lot of ice. Yeah, it is a lot of ice. Can I see the invoice, please? How much ice did
you guys unload? A lot. A lot’s not a number. Oh no.
Hell, no. Are you kidding me? I do not want to hear this. Who signed off on the invoice? I did. Anthony, what the fuck, man? What did you do? How many were we
supposed to unload? Ah, yes. Fuckload of ice. Holy crap. I just saw ice. Go inside and make sure
we have 15 of the 25-pound bag and 20 of the 50-pound bag. Oh, fuck you, Anthony. Are you serious? Seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. It’s crazy, it’s frustrating. At the same time, it doesn’t
fucking surprise me at all. I’m trying really hard not
to curse Anthony the fuck out. Yeah.
Me too. I’m ready for
Anthony to go home. I’m done with his
nonchalant attitude. I’m done with him
skating under the radar. When Chef Ramsay
says elimination, think about everything? Yeah. You fucking
understand me, right? Yeah. I’m done. I want Anthony out of here. My body fucking hurt. Any more? That’s it? That was the worst. That was about three
times more work than we really needed to fucking do. NARRATOR: With the
deliveries finally complete, the men begin part two
of their punishment– prepping both kitchens for
tomorrow’s dinner service. God, the food was so good. Oh my gosh. What is that? It looks like a
shitload of bread. Hey boys.
SUSAN: Hi, guys. CYNDI: Hey. Oh, hey. Look who’s back. What is all this bread for? Yeah, I would
imagine it’s to eat. MARY: Wow. Have you been
unloading all day? Pretty much. Wow. Autographed photo. Oh dude, he’s cool as shit. Yeah. It was a great day. I’m like, fantastic. Stop rubbing shit
in my face, please. So much fun. As of right now, my
position on the blue team is pretty shaky. So today, it’s just
going to be a matter of getting in that kitchen
and just working my ass off. [phone ringing] I’ll get it. This is Susan. Susan, it’s Chef Ramsay. Can you get everybody down
here immediately, please? SUSAN (ON PHONE): Yes, Chef.
We’ll be right there. – Let’s go.
– Zach, get up now, it’s Chef. Zach, come on, Chef
Ramsay called us. Blue kitchen. Let’s go. Wow, that was quick, Cyndi. Good morning. Morning, Chef. I’m glad you’re all
energized, because I’ve got some very serious
business to discuss with you. Really? I can’t wait to see what’s next. As you know the
winner of Hell’s Kitchen will become the head
chef of Gordon Ramsay Pub and Grill at Caesar’s
Palace, Las Vegas, a salary of a quarter million dollars. But we all know you are getting
very close to another very significant accomplishment. I’m talking about the honor
of earning a black jacket. Oh, man, black
is beautiful baby. – Wow.
– That will look great on me. Who wants it? Looks nice, right? Yes, Chef. Oh, I want a
black jacket so bad. I want it more than I’ve
wanted anything ever. With the awarding of a
black jacket not far off, I need more information. For the first time in the
history of Hell’s Kitchen, I’m doing an individual
challenge even though you’re still in teams. This surprise challenge
will tell me how much you’ve grown since you’ve arrived. You all have 45 minutes to
make me whatever you want. This is what I do. I love being creative and
going outside the box. I’m really going
to bring it today. I’m bringing it hard. No boundaries. I just to be blown away. Got it? ALL: Yes, Chef. There is a very
important prize. The chef that creates
the dish that I like best will be safe from elimination. No matter what happens in the
next service of Hell’s Kitchen. There’s only three of
us on the blue team left. I’ve got to perfectly nail this. Your 45 minutes starts– now. NARRATOR: With the awarding of
the prestigious black jacket not far away, Chef Ramsay
has decided to do something a little unconventional– Ah ha. NARRATOR: –an individual
challenge where the chefs can do anything they want. The chef who most
impresses Chef Ramsay will be safe from
the next elimination. – Is anyone going to do lamb?
– No. – No.
– I am doing lamb. – OK.
– I’m going to do duck. – Doing lamb again, Susan?
– Yep. I’m redeeming myself. Your lamb is
absolutely fucking raw. Are you seriously
trying to kill me? I really want to redo my lamb. I really want to show him that
I’ve grown leaps and bounds, and I’m not going to
shy away from my fears. Oh, cumin. I need that too. We’re going similar flavors. You know, Susan’s making
a really ballsy move by going for the lamb. It kind of has been
hanging over her head this entire competition. Good luck. You’re going to need it. Girls, there’s a
Vitamix set up right here. NARRATOR: While the women are
communicating with each other– I’m poaching off my vedgkas. NARRATOR: –over in the blue
kitchen, Jon is talking to– [whispering] NARRATOR: –himself. Pineapple. Pineapple juice. Chef Jon talks
to himself a lot. Quinoa. What else do I need? Jon, I was told to talk to
yourself is not a problem. Sure, one of those. Keep the mango. But when you start
answering yourself– well, now you may be one
step away from the loony bin. Curry paste? Spicy citrus paste. Talking to myself,
it’s how I process. So my mahi’s almost done. I’m going to take some
butter and rub it on the top, using the quinoa
a little citrus. It’s– I’m bouncing
ideas off my own self. It’s too salty. Way too tart, man. Call me crazy, but it works. Gentlemen, 10 minutes to go. ALL: Yes, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Make it stunning. How’s everybody feeling?
CYNDI: Good. SUSAN: Good. I’m making a vinaigrette with
garlic and shallots and pine nuts. Mary’s got some
plum over there. Yes, ma’am. – A lot at stake, Zach.
– Yes. All the chefs are
trying to put together their best because everybody
wants that immunity card. So the level of creativity
I want to put on a plate, I’ve never seen it done before. I’m creating
something different. My dish is like sending
somebody to the moon for the first time ever. Ladies, five minutes to go. Has to rest. Coming around. GORDON RAMSAY: One
beautiful portion. Make it count. MARY: Come on, girls. CYNDI: Let’s go ladies.
Come on. – Thank you.
– Thank you. 90 seconds to go. – Shit, behind, behind.
– Let’s go. Come on, ladies. Behind you. JON: How you feeling, Tdog? ANTHONY: Definitely see
how this goes, gentlemen. There we go. What I was waiting for. Dammit. JA’NEL: Are you all right? Yeah, it’s just a little
bit under in the very middle. Just put back in the oven
underneath you if you can. This is an individual
challenge, Susan. Like, I can’t keep
holding your hand. You got to start stepping
up to the plate, girl. GORDON RAMSAY: 45 seconds to go. CYNDI: Yeah, Chef. Susan, sear it if you have to. I’m so upset. My lamb is still not done. Ugh. GORDON RAMSAY: 30 seconds to go. Oh, shit. GORDON RAMSAY: Let’s go, Susan. Speed up. Let’s go. Don’t panic, Suzy. GORDON RAMSAY: 15 seconds to go. Susan, can you get
something on a plate? I’m so fucked. Everything is
riding on this dish, but I just feel like there’s
nothing I can do at this point. GORDON RAMSAY: 10– JA’NEL: Here. GORDON RAMSAY: –9, 8– come on, Susan. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And stop. Line up, please. Who has the best dish? ALL: I do, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Love
the confidence. I am anxious to eat. Let’s start with–
Ja’nel. NARRATOR: In today’s creative
dish challenge, as Chef Ramsay tastes each dish, he’ll
decide if that chef has earned the right to
sit in the winner’s chair. Being first Ja’nel
will be the first person to sit in the chair after
Chef Ramsay tastes her dish. If you are still sat
in that chair at the end of the challenge,
you’ll be the winner and safe from elimination. Ja’nel, as I look at you now, I
think back to Vegas, that first signature dish, tiger prawns. Just two of them? Are we on a budget? But it was good. OK, thank you. GORDON RAMSAY: I
just wanted more. What is it? Pan-seared duck breast
with a cumin-scented sweet potato puree and kind
of an orange-glazed carrot. I’m sorry. Orange-glazed green bean. They look like green beans.
They don’t look like carrots. They’re not carrots, Chef.
I’m– Wow.
You OK? Yes, I’m good. Have a little sip of water. Thank you. [sighs] ALL: [laughing] – You OK?
– Better. Better, good. Thank you, Chef. I am so nervous, like, shaking. Anyone that’s not
nervous is full of shit. The duck is
cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. Delicious,
beautifully seasoned. That is a great start. Good job.
– Thank you. Take a seat. Well done. You, right now,
have set the bar. It will be hard to beat. Next– Anthony, let’s go please. Right now, being safe
from elimination is crucial. My name’s pretty close to
the top of the list of people to put up if our
service goes bad. When I first met you in
Vegas it was a scallop po’ boy. Yes, Chef. I was disappointed. Yeah, that is
fucking disgusting. That is hideous, and you’ve
just embarrassed New Orleans cuisine. But you have done some great
things in this competition. I hope you’ve grown,
and I want to see that progress on the plate. Yes, Chef. What is it? I have a seared ribeye that
I seasoned with a little bit of chili powder, salt,
pepper, and Italian seasoning, with caramelized
carrots on the side. Oh please, oh please, oh please,
oh please, oh please be right. So you got that nice ribeye. Everything’s soft and
subtle and delicate. But it’s slightly overcooked. Then you’ve got this
horrible, crunchy, almost, like, raw carrot. They’re underwhelming. Anthony, you’re not
taking Ja’nel’s place. Not in the same league.
Sorry. NARRATOR: Anthony
disappoints with his ribeye. And now Susan is hoping that she
has finally nailed a lamb dish. There’s something
about you and lamb. Who sent me raw lamb
on the signature dish. Who was that? Me. So what’s that, then? It’s raw lamb. I love the tenacity of
you trying it again. But unfortunately, the lamb is– it’s raw. Once again, Susan’s
lamb is like, rawr, raw. I mean, super raw. At this stage in
the competition, I expect you to nail it. I mean, absolutely nail
how to cook a rack of lamb. You definitely won’t be
taking Ja’nel’s seat. Yes, Chef. Next up, Jon. Let’s go, please. This is my chance to shine. There’s a thing, Ja’nel’s
my biggest competition. She’s got amazing plates
and a hell of a palate. I’ve got to get Ja’nel off of
that throne and get up there. That’s my goal right now. Jon, in Vegas, first
introduction was a scallop and foie gras with truffle. You managed to nail it.
Congratulations. Well done. The dish was a good start. What’s this? I’ve got some seared mahi
mahi, some citrus quinoa, also tropical fruit syrup. Visually, it’s
got that wow factor. It pops. Thank you, Chef. And the fish is
cooked peacefully. It’s glistening. Oh God, yes. Oh God, yes. All right, good start. It’s delicious. It’s very good indeed. The real question is, is
it better than Ja’nel’s? Please say no.
Please say no, please say no. These two dishes are
absolutely on the money. Jon, the dish is– replacing Ja’nel’s.
Good job. – Thank you, Chef.
– Good job. Thank you very much. Just by an edge, Ja’nel.
Great job. He nudges me just
by a fucking hair, and Jon’s in the good seat. Very good, dish. You nailed it. Thank you, Chef, very much. Mary, let’s go. SUSAN: Go Mary. I’m sitting up there
on this hot spot, and I’m confident in my dish. But there’s still three
strong chefs in my way. Mary, first signature dish
was a seared duck breast. It didn’t go down
that well, did it? No, Chef. The duck is still
raw in the middle. Congratulations. You certainly
butchered your dish. What’s this? MARY: I did a pan-seared filet. The sauce, I reduced
red wine, some juice, some chicken stock with figs. You know, a little bit
of shallots and garlic. The filet’s
cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. I mean, really,
beautifully done. But you spoil it with this
heavy, so over-reduced sauce. It’s almost like you’ve
got paint on your plate. It’s such a shame. Yes, Chef. You’re not taking Jon’s place. OK Thank you, Chef. What a shame. Whew. Two more to go. I hope I survive this. Next, Zach, let’s go. Woo.
All right. I’m feeling great about my dish. And my pride as a
chef is at stake. Zach, Vegas, you made
a pork chop with an apple and fig puree, right? Yes, chef. Combination with
the apple and fig– the dish tastes nice. Unfortunately, the
protein is slightly dry. Pork were slightly overcooked,
but you had some good flavors. Right. I want to see how
far you’ve come. This is my twist
on surf and turf. It’s fillet medallions
at the bottom– Where’s the filet? The prawns are actually
sitting on the filet. Oh wow. The prawns are dominating it. It’s like prawns attack. And that’s not filet. That’s filet, Chef. How did you get them
so perfectly round? I cut them in half, and
I took the circle thing, and I, you know, made it
into medallion shape, Chef. You cut a medallion
from a medallion? Yes, Chef. Where’s the rest of it? On the next menu up. I’m using it for a tartare. GORDON RAMSAY: Oh– ZACH: Utilizing everything. GORDON RAMSAY: Oh, OK. Are you kidding me? When I smell bullshit, I
know it, and I call it. And I smell bullshit
with this whole I’m going to make steak tartare.
Oh, Zach. That’s the first time
I’ve ever seen anyone cut a filet with a cutter. Yeah, I was kind of
thinking out the box, and– The thing here is you’ve
got the balance upside down. I want more filet on there. One little portion’s come
out of a doll’s house. Is that better than Jon’s dish? No, it’s not. Good effort, though. Thank you. Thank you, Chef. NARRATOR: Now only one
challenger remains– Cyndi, do you think
you got what it takes to knock Jon off the pedestal? NARRATOR: –in the
battle to determine who created the best
dish and will win safety in the next elimination. What is at stake here
is absolutely everything. GORDON RAMSAY: This is
going to be exciting. Oh, wow.
Look at those colors. This is the day
that I need to prove to Chef that I deserve to move
into the black jacket level. Right, Vegas. We were introduced
through a tri-colored, pepper-crusted New York strip.
That’s delicious. Thank you, Chef. Really delicious. And now you’ve got something
completely different, right? Yes, Chef. I Wanted to show
that I can cook steak and that I can
cook fish as well. I just want Chef
to just love it. I want to come through at
the end with a huge punch and really impress him. It is a pan-seared halibut. On the bottom is like
a play on succotash. Potatoes, corn, yellow,
green, and red pepper, onion. The fish is
cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. You know, Chef’s
over there having a, you know, food orgasm
over Cyndi’s dish. Yeah, it’s good. It’s very good indeed. Delicious. I’m just trying to
stay on this damn throne, and I’m like, dude, come
on, there’s gotta be something wrong with this dish. And one of the best
pieces of halibut I’ve seen cooked so far
in this competition. Really nice.
– Thank you. I wouldn’t have put
butter in the cream. Did one or the other. Yes, Chef. Tough decision. Two amazing fish
dishes, let me tell you. Mahi mahi, or the halibut. I want to knock
Jon off his pedestal. That area right there
has my name on it. Cyndi, Jon, you’ve made
it very difficult for me, because these are the top
two dishes, let me tell you. It’s tough. Cyndi’s dish looks
great, which is good because if Jon wins and
we lose service again, there’s only two of
us to choose from. God, this is really tough. I’m going to win this. I’m going to get immunity. The winning dish– belongs to Jon. Well done.
– Wait a minute. Did you say Jon? – Do you need a medic?
– Yeah. No, I’m fine.
– No? You’re sure?
– Yeah. Yeah? Extremely excited, Chef. Well done. Fuck yes! This is so cool. Uh, Cyndi, great
effort, my darling. Thank you, Chef. I’ve been edged out by a
hair, but Chef has realized that I’ve been a front
runner, and I will edge them all out in the end. Congratulations. Jon, at the next
dinner service, you’re safe, one step
closer to that black jacket. I’m gonna look fucking
great in a black jacket. What’s starting to emerge
now is that individual talent shining through. All of you have a
one in seven chance of being the head chef
at Gordon Ramsay’s Pub and Grill at Caesars Palace. Thank you, Chef. Get out of here. Hell’s Kitchen will
be open tonight. If I could have
gotten past Jon, I’m pretty sure I could
have stayed until the end. Jon, I’m so proud of you! Fucking Jon! Jerkamatic. That’s twice with you and me. Jon has taken one of my dishes
down, not just once but twice. Definitely keeping
a close eye on him. Damn, I liked my dish. I wanted Chef to like
it as much as I did. At my restaurant, that
will be going on the menu. Come on. Zach is talking up his
dish, even though he didn’t do so well in the challenge. He’s almost like a
used car salesman. The only thing he
didn’t like about my dish is I did it in the medallion. Oh, this is a Porsche. No. Really, it’s a Pinto. Nobody’s buying it. Damn. I’m pissed about my dish. The color was spot on. It tasted so fucking good. Please! ANNOUNCER: With another dinner
service just hours away ready– Red team!
Red team! ANNOUNCER: –the unified
women’s team is all fired up. Tonight’s going
to be good, ladies. Absolutely. ANNOUNCER: The men are– Anthony, you’re going to
be a beast tonight, right? Right. ANNOUNCER: –much less so. I’ve got a lot riding
on this dinner service. I need to perform. My focus is just
so extreme right now that that’s why I’m quiet. That’s why I’m not as
open as I should be. I’m going to
fire everybody up. I don’t care, man. I’m going to get loud as shit,
get everybody all amped up and energized the way
that I felt this morning when I won that challenge. Even though I’ve had
immunity, I don’t want to lose anybody else. Every time we lose somebody,
they have more of an advantage on us going into every
challenge and every service. Zach, why are you so quiet, man? I don’t like it when you’re
quiet, man, because, you know, usually something’s up. I’m still pissed about
my dish from this morning. It was a great dish. That dish got into
my pride, because I really liked that dish. This is my twist
on surf and turf, fillet medallions at the
bottom, beautiful cauliflower. Prawns are dominating there. Geez. I want more filet on there. One little portion’s come
out of a doll’s house. Yo, Ramsay, tore
me up a new one. When you care, when you give
a fuck about what you do, yeah, that fucking hurted. I’ll be thinking about
that for a long time. As long as it’s out of
your head during service. Yeah, I know,
but it– it hurts. Give me a minute. [blowing nose] Calm down. I mean, but it hurt. Quit freaking out, man. Yeah, it ain’t the time
to talk about it now. Dude, what the fuck? ANNOUNCER: While Zach takes an
emotional time out upstairs, the blue team tries to
make do without him. Chives. ANNOUNCER: As for
the red kitchen– It looks like he’s
going to crumble. I hope he does. ANNOUNCER: –they are
not missing him at all. I want Zach out of
here and the best way to do that is to
keep up the team work and have a great service. Mary, what do you have going? Because I’m going
to be done right now, after this lime juice. Leeks are ready. Fingerlings are done. I need some chives. I’ll do the chives. We are going to win
this dinner service. ANNOUNCER: While each of the
four chefs in the red kitchen have evenly divided up the
tasks, in the blue kitchen– Yeah, I’ve got to get these. ANNOUNCER: –Jon and Anthony
are struggling to get all the work done themselves. I’ve gotta get
this done for Zach, and then we’ll be on that. Now that Zach is gone,
we’re doing the work of essentially 12 people. All right, let me
knock him out these, do some strawberries,
and I’ll get right back to the Beurre Monte. We’ve got about
45 more minutes. This is pretty hectic.
– Motherf***er. I just dropped it. It slipped. I just roasted ’em, too. Am I losing my mind? Hopefully, we don’t
start falling apart. Hey, it smells great in here. Whoa. What the fuck? Jon! – I smell something burning.
– Fuck. There’s a fire. Oh, shit, shit,
shit, shit, shit. Good Lord, almighty. Holy shit! Jon’s burning down the kitchen. It’s a forest fire. Oh! It’s hot. It’s like sitting on top of it. What’s going on? Sorry, everyone. I’m not surprised at
all that I come back and shit is in shambles. I leave you guys
for two minutes, and you set the place on fire. Yeah, that’s my fault, Chef. Jon, I know you have safety
from elimination tonight but that doesn’t
mean you have to take out the entire restaurant. It wasn’t even a lot. Let’s take a breath. [coughs] Let’s go, blue team. Let’s not suck. ANNOUNCER: With the best
seven chefs remaining– Let’s go, ladies. Yes, Chef. Gents, line up please. Let’s go. ANNOUNCER: –Chef
Ramsay has decided to increase the pressure for
tonight’s dinner service. Right, Right, how
are you feeling? Great, Chef. I’ve decided to invite some
very, very special guests in to the kitchen this evening. Blue team, on your
chef table, she currently is the
host of “Extra,” Maria Menounos, amazing lady. Very cool. Wow. Yeah! I’m here, baby. I’ll feed you, don’t worry. Red kitchen, you’re
in for a treat. The star of the hit
series “Suburgatory,” “Law and Order,” “Six Feet
Under,” and the movie, “Clueless,” Jeremy Sisto. It’s exciting, because
we’re in a good mindset to have a really
flawless service, and he’s going to
be here to see that. Jon, just because
you’re safe tonight, I do not expect you to have a
bad service, let me tell you. Absolutely, Chef. If anything, it should
be the best service. With Chef Tables in the house,
a fully booked dining room, the only way to have
a successful service is to cook with passion. Yes, Chef! And for once, make me proud. Let’s go. Jean-Philippe, open
Hell’s Kitchen, please. Let’s go.
– Yes, Chef. [music playing] Let’s go, my ladies. Yes, ma’am. Another day at
work, gentlemen. Another day at work, man. ANNOUNCER: Chef Ramsay has made
it clear that his expectations are higher than ever. – Here they come, guys.
– Let’s do it. ANNOUNCER: And with the first
VIP table being seated– Thanks. Good Lord, almighty. [whistles] ANNOUNCER: –it’s
time for the chefs to focus on the task at hand. – Are you hungry?
– Uh, starving. Good. You’ve got the hot seat tonight. I’m super excited. No one’s gonna throw
anything at me, are they? Oh, my god. She’s so hot. Hi. On order six-top, two Caesars,
two risotto, two scallops. – Yes, Chef.
– Mary. Yes, Chef. Cook with your
tongue in, please. You look like a cat.
– I’m sorry, Chef. Out.
Let’s go. Yes, Chef. Mary, let’s go. Chef, I can’t work
with my tongue in. It’s just how it is. Mary, four and a
half out on the next. ANNOUNCER: While
Mary concentrates on getting her scallops
out and keeping her tongue in, over in the blue kitchen. On order, VIP Chef’s
Table, yeah, one Caesar salad, one scallops, away. Yes, Chef. ANNOUNCER: It’s up to Anthony
on fish and Jon on appetizers to get their team off
to a strong start. VIP, Let’s go. I got it.
Go. I’m really counting on the
guys to pull their own weight in front of Maria Menounos. Time to step up.
Here we go. I’m pulling for blue, baby. Let’s go, team. Now, flip over,
you son of a bitch. Scallops are out in one.
Let’s go. Heard that, Chef. Out, scallops in one. Yeah, hurry up. Hey, you, out in one. Absolutely, Chef. Out in one. Heard that. I don’t understand a damn
thing he’s talking about. Let’s go.
Out in one. Let’s go. – Oh-oh.
– Coming up. How many times, have
I said– look at me. Watch.
Out in one. Out in one.
Yes, Chef. Look at me. Out in one.
– Yes, Chef. How many times?
How many times? Too many for me to
be forgetting, Chef. And you’re there fumbling
around like an old granny in a hardware store. Once out of the pan Chef. Now, once out of
the pan, all right. Anthony? Chef? Perfect scallops.
Let’s go. Yes, Chef. Caesar salad? Yes, Caesars up. You had the scallops. – Oh, thank you.
– Yes. – Chef’s Table.
– Yes. Thank you. And the Caesar salad. Thank you. Maria, there’s more
were that came from. How about dessert? This is really good. ANNOUNCER: While the men’s
first order of appetizers is a hit with their VIP guests,
over in the red kitchen– Two Caesars, two risotto,
two scallops, where is it? Working on the scallops. ANNOUNCER: –Mary on fish– Walking up with risotto. –and Cyndi on appetizers seem
to be working well together. Service please. ANNOUNCER: –and are
getting appetizers out to the dining room. Mine’s fantastic Three risotto, one
capellini, how long? I’ve got the
risotto, and I’ve got the capellini right behind it. Now, lobster, please. ANNOUNCER: All they
need is one thing to keep up this good pace. Hey, where’s
those lobster tails? Oh, I’m sorry, Chef. I’ll have them in
one minute, Chef. Cyndi, it’s her job to
remind me to drop the tails. She knows better. Cyndi, wake up. Talk to her. You’re putting your team behind. – Yes, Chef.
– Yeah, Cyndi. I’m sorry. She has a garnish for me. I should automatically be
telling her that I need it. What the fuck is wrong with me? Mary, my fault. My fault. It’s OK. ANNOUNCER: The red
team has adjusted and are back in the groove. Here you go, Chef. ANNOUNCER: In the blue kitchen– Risotto up. Walk with the lobster
tails, please. Lobster tails on their way. ANNOUNCER: –Jon is
doing his best to make sure his team is in sync. This is so fascinating. Jon, Jon, just taste that. Hurry up!
Come on. Taste it! Get a spoon. It’s just bland. It needs salt. Yeah, it just needs
salt. You know that. Oh, god. That’s fucking embarrassing. Really? You need to season. Yes, Chef. And you, get your
head in the game. Yes, Chef. All right, I’ve
got two more down. You’re not doing this because
you think you’re safe, Jon? No, not at all, Chef. Jon, just because you’re
safe from elimination tonight, don’t screw us over
here in the kitchen. – Keep the pan down!
– Yes, Chef. We don’t cook in midair. You’re not a fucking
air stewardess. Yes, Chef. [laughs] ANNOUNCER: While Jon
reworks his risotto, back in the red kitchen– Thank you. Thank you. ANNOUNCER: –the women are eager
to make a good first impression on their VIP guests. Three risotto and capellini
should be driving, Cyndi. Right here, Chef. Ten seconds to the window. Cyndi. Yeah, Chef. You’re just making a mess. – Yeah, Chef.
– Come on. Hey, madam.
– Yeah, Chef. Try and keep the
risotto in the pan. Yeah, Chef. Now, you’re splattering
it everywhere. Yeah, Chef. And you’re working
like a dirty little pig. – Yeah, Chef.
– Please. I don’t like it. [laughs] Right? I’m going to need a week
of therapy after this. We definitely don’t
want Chef Ramsay yelling at us in
front of these VIP, embarrassing us and
causing us shame. Come on, Cyndi. Get it together. Two capellini, Chef. – Cyndi?
– Yeah, Chef? Now you’re turning out
to be a bit of a joke. Three risotto, you’ve
got six portions. – Yeah, Chef.
– Do you understand? It’s just, like,
look at the plates. Yeah, Chef. So I’ve got three
there and three there. Yeah, Chef. We’re slowing down,
you’re dragging the kitchen, they’re falling behind, and
you’re giving me six portions when I only need three. Sorry, Chef. It won’t happen again, Chef. I really wish I
could take myself with the back slap
myself a couple times and finish this service Here, gentlemen. Beautiful. Thank you very much. ANNOUNCER: Despite sloppy work– That’s really good. ANNOUNCER: –appetizers
for the Chef’s Table have been well received. This is so good. I’m actually blown away. ANNOUNCER: –and the women
have now completed more than half their appetizers. This is fantastic. ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile,
back in the blue kitchen– Risotto? I’ve got it working
right now, a minute, 15 on lobster risotto. You got my two tails down?
– Tails are down. Heard.
Thank you. ANNOUNCER: –the men
are not far behind. You got my two lobster tails? I will get you your
lobster tails, promise. Lobster tails coming. Coming out with two
orders of risotto, Chef. Very nice, that risotto. Anthony? Chef? It’s two risottos, yes? Come on, man. On Come on, another lobster tail.
Jon? I asked you for two lobster
tails, man, I did, Chef. He comes up with
one lobster tail. More drama. I thought it was the one. May bad. I swore he only
said he needed one. – You got my two tails down?
– Tails are down. Heard.
Thank you. I called two risotto, and
you bring out one lobster tail. Wake up!
– Yes, Chef. – Man up!
– Absolutely, Chef. Step up! Get your head out of the pan
and start talking to your team. Fixing it, Chef. Absofuckinglutely. Anthony’s hanging
on by a thread. All right, I’ve got two coming
up on the next one, yes, Jon? Anthony, just clear your head
and put the shit out, please. I get it. Come here. All of you. Come here. Just touch that. It’s overcooked. Come on, Anthony. The lobster should
be like butter– Yes, Chef. –not like some fucking
bubble gum in your mouth. You’re the only weak link
in this chain right now. Hurry up. Yes, Chef. I just feel dinner service
slipping through my fingers. I’ve got to get a grasp
on it and fucking work. Lobster tail. Behind you, Chef. Service, please. ANNOUNCER: With
Anthony bouncing back on the lobster, both the men– The apps are done, you guys. ANNOUNCER: –and the women– We’ve got this, ladies. We’re good. –have completed

long do you need? – Give me six minutes.
– Six minutes. Come on, Anthony. Jon is not going home
tonight, no matter what. So come on, Zach,

Talk to me, Zach. Zach, if you need
more time, talk to me. – Yeah, just– just two minutes.
– Heard that. Walking with the bass. Hold on. Hold– what the fuck? What the fuck did he just do? He just– he took
the fish off and– did you serve the bass? Zach. I’m waiting.
– Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef. Two minutes. Come on, man. So you’re dragging? Yeah. He served his bass. Two minutes, Chef,
and that stops. Oh, Christ, all mighty. Jon, why is it
breaking down now? I don’t know, Chef. Listen, push it
because that other shit’s going to get pulled back.
Let’s go. Don’t kill our table, man.
Let’s go. We don’t need a set back. Blue team is fucking
so embarrassing. You know, this late in the
game and still falling apart. Oh, I’ve got to eat
bread, because our team is delaying our food. ANNOUNCER: While blue diners
are looking for a sign that they’ll be eating
something soon– I’m frustrated.
I’m hungry. I’ve been working all day. I want to eat. ANNOUNCER: –in the red kitchen,
Chef Ramsay is looking for– – One lamb, one bass.
– Yes, Chef. – Susan, push it, please, yes?
– Yes, Chef. Let’s go. Ew, there’s, like,
blood coming out of this. Really nervous
tonight about Susan on the meat, because she had
raw lamb at the signature dish. That lamb is absolutely raw. She had raw lamb today. But unfortunately,
the lamb is raw. She had raw lamb when
she was on the meat station a few times ago. So what’s that, then? It’s raw lamb. And so tonight is a
big night for Susan. If she doesn’t pull off this
meat station 100% perfect, she’s probably going
to go home tonight. Where’s the lamb? Coming, Chef. – You OK, Suz?
– Yep. – Come on, ladies.
– Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef. Goal of the night is redemption. I am praying to the lamb gods,
please let this lamb be cooked. Behind you with lamb, Chef. Susan? Yeah, Chef. They’re beautifully cooked. Thank you, Chef. Ah! The lamb is perfect, finally! ANNOUNCER: Now, that the lamb
gods have smiled on Susan– Service, please? Oh, that looks good. Yes. ANNOUNCER: –entrees are moving
briskly out of the kitchen. I don’t know. I’m rooting for the red team. They have heart. ANNOUNCER: But in
the blue kitchen– Let’s go, team. ANNOUNCER: –Zach’s lamb has
yet to make it to the pass. Where’s the lamb? Right here in my hand, Chef. Definitely going to redeem
myself on the meat station. I’ve got something to prove
to Chef Ramsay tonight. Zach, that lamb
is cooked perfectly. Thank you, Chef. Now you’re on the
money, stay on it. – Yes, Chef.
– Service, please. ANNOUNCER: The men’s first
entrees finally make their way out to grateful diners. Oh, wow. That looks amazing. ANNOUNCER: Back in
the red kitchen– Two lamb, two bass, how long? I’m walking with lamb garnish. ANNOUNCER: –the
women are sending out entree after entree– I’m walking. Walking on my bass. ANNOUNCER: –and look
to be unstoppable. Ow! I cut myself.
– Really? You need help? Oh, no. I’m bleeding out
all over the place. I’ve cut myself. Is it bad?
Is it bad? – Yes.
– Get the medic in. Let’s go. Yes, Chef. With only four people left in
the kitchen, we cannot afford to be one man down right now. We need everybody. I feel like I should jump
up and help out a little bit. Think I should jump in there. ANNOUNCER: While the red
team is one chef down– It’s just bleeding,
and it won’t stop. ANNOUNCER: –Chef Ramsay shifts
his attention to the blue team. Entree– two halibut,
two Wellington. – Yes, Chef.
– Chef. ANNOUNCER: –and continues
to push them on entrees. Zach, Wellington, how long? – Right now.
– Heard that. I’m going to walk with
two halibut, then. Fucking halibut’s raw. Fish is raw. Anthony! Hey, all of you, come here. All of you, come here. Yeah. As for you as well, come here. Chef’s Table in there,
VIP, and look at this. Come here, you. Look at this. Fucking raw. Yeah, just touch it. Just touch it inside. Cold and raw.
Fuck. Come here, you.
Come here. Get that back in the oven, Jon.
– Yes, Chef. Right now.
– One’s cooked. One’s raw.
One’s cooked. One’s raw. You just got your
head out of your ass. Now you’re talking, but
you sending me raw food? I’m trying to fix it, Chef. What is going on? Every other fish is
cooked, every other fish is undercooked. His words are just hitting
me in the face like a punch, and in this tiny room, I mean,
the fucking walls are shaking. – Get a grip!
– Yes, Chef. – Hurry up!
– Absofuckinglutely, Chef. It’s embarrassing, but at the
same time, it’s motivating. He wants to see me fight back. He wants to see me succeed. Fixing it right now.
Going down with it. You’ll have it in
90 seconds, Chef. ANNOUNCER: While Anthony
gets back to work on the fish station, in the red kitchen– Entree– one bass, one
Wellington, how long? We’ve got two minutes
on the bass, OK? – Two minutes heard.
– All right, Ja’nel. I’m back. ANNOUNCER: Ja’nel has been
patched up and is ready to jump back in on the garnish station. I run right back
in the kitchen, trying to pick up
exactly where I left off. I just need to try
to catch up, but– Chef’s Table, yes? Let’s go. I don’t know what’s going on. Ja’nel, can I walk ’em? Are you good, Ja’nel? Garnish for the Wellington. Come on, Ja’nel. I’ve got the
mushrooms right here. Walking. Wellington walking. Garnish for the Wellington.
Come on, please. – Yes, Chef.
– Ja’nel, please. Let’s go.
Come on. You’re lagging.
Let’s go. Walking garnish. Come on. Come on. Ja’nel. I’m looking for sauteed
mushrooms, yeah, not mushrooms in a fucking bath.
– Yes, Chef. Come on. Take the fucking shit. Please, Ja’nel. Even though I cut myself
and it really hurts, I’m on garnish. It’s a really important
station, and I don’t want any of the ladies
to have to pick up my slack. – Ja’nel, are you good?
– I’m good. Pick up. Let’s go!
– Wellington garnish. Hallelujah. ANNOUNCER: As Ja’nel bounces
back and completes the garnish for the VIP table’s entrees– Here we are. All right. – Beautiful.
– Wow. Look at that. –Chef Ramsay is looking
for Anthony on fish– Halibut. Halibut on its way. ANNOUNCER: –to make
a comeback of his own. Anthony, halibut’s
beautifully cooked. They’re perfect. I am so fucking lucky. Like, thank god. Can I have those
fucking Wellingtons now? Walking right
through the back, Chef. It’s raw. Yeah. Zach. Stop. All of you stop. – Ah.
– We can’t win. It’s like if it’s not one
person, it’s another person. Look at that. Just touch that. Slice one, OK, next
to the other one. So it’s raw. So I went and sliced
the other one. And look, does that
not look dry to you? He’s in hot water. Chef, I– I cut it. Hey, look at me. I swear to God,
you can fuck off. I want clean, straight,
fucking answers. Look at me.
I’m up to here with your shit. – Yes, Chef.
– Does that not look dry to you? Yes, Chef.
It looks dry. It’s ridiculous. That’s not the standard
of Hell’s Kitchen. Fix it, Zach. I’m on it. Send me two halibut, please. Dude, please tell me
you have more Wellingtons. Come on, Zach. I told Chef,
give me one minute, but I realized, I don’t have
any Wellington ready in case of. Oh, come on, my god. Two Wellington, how long? Come on. Come on, Zach. How long for two Wellington? My heart is racing
like a cardiac patient. The last thing I
want to do is tell Chef Ramsay it’s going to be 20
minutes for a beef Wellington. Can I have an idea
on what’s happening? We’re working, Chef. We’re sitting over
here, cooking, Chef. I know you’re working, but
how about giving me a time? 20 minutes, tops. 20 minutes? Oh, my god. ANNOUNCER: Faced with a
20-minute wait for Wellingtons in the blue kitchen– Well, what the fuck can I do? ANNOUNCER: –Chef
Ramsay is forced to do something he almost never does. Are these extra? They will be extra, Chef.
I need these. You can take them all, Chef. Fucking Jesus. Apparently, somewhere
in the blue kitchen, they need these
extra Wellingtons, and of course, they’re
cook perfectly. So right now, I’m going to
make someone else look good. They took your Wellingtons
for the blue team? – Yeah.
– This is a disaster. You see that? They saved our asses, man. As the blue team, we are
now using red team’s food. That’s just humiliating. Fuck me. Go. ANNOUNCER: A few extra
perfectly cooked Wellingtons made by Susan have
saved the blue team and no one is more
grateful than the diners. Fantastic. ANNOUNCER: And back
in the red kitchen– Service, please. ANNOUNCER: –the women have
completed their entrees and are ready to
move on to desserts. I’ll take the Chef’s Table’s
desserts guys, right away. Yeah, Chef. –except for one
chef, who’s looking for a little extra sugar. – Did you enjoy everything?
– Yeah. It was fun.
– The whole– the action. Would you fuck up a little
bit so I can get some– You want more action? I don’t know what his status
is, but I definitely have a little bit of cabin fever. You know, I wouldn’t mind a
little extra conversation. Maybe he’ll remember me and
I don’t know, give me a ring. The red team, the ladies, we’ve
won 12 out of 13 challenges. Whoa! Susan, stop flirting
with Jeremy Sisto and get back in the kitchen
and help me make desserts. Hopefully, your
food was legit. Legit.
[laughs] Thank you guys so much. ANNOUNCER: With all
the red diners served– Two lamb, one
bass, one Wellington. Yes, Chef. ANNOUNCER: –Chef Ramsay
looks for the blue team to complete their
last two tables. One lamb, one Wellington
for the Chef’s Table. Yes, Chef. Can you remember
that one, you two? Yes, Chef. Bass in 30 seconds, Chef. Two lamb, one Wellington,
one bass, what’s going now? Two lamb, one– one Wellington, one lamb. I’m flustered. My mind is going crazy. What’s going? Two lamb, two
bass, one Wellington. Oh, my god. Two lamb, one bass,
one Wellington, Zach. Come on, man. Oh, fuck me. That little dude
with the beard is going to cry over
there in a minute. I just want this service,
this nightmare to end. Two lamb, one Wellington,
one bass, how long? Minute and a half. Yes, minute and
a half, heard that. ANNOUNCER: It’s 2 and 1/2
hours into dinner service, and all of the red
diners have been fed. Oh, my god. ANNOUNCER: But thanks to
Zach’s careless performance– Is that lamb– oh, please. Does that not look overcooked? That’s fucking burnt, man. Just throw that in the trash. Hey, fuck face. [laughs] Fuck face? ANNOUNCER: –the
men are struggling with the two remaining
tickets, and all eyes are on Zach’s lamb. It looks like
elephant shit from here. I understand, Chef.
We’re just waiting for the fish. You fucking give me one
more excuse, I swear to God, take your jacket and
fuck off out of here. Just say you’re sorry. I’m sorry, Chef. Stop making excuses. Yes, Chef. Two lamb, one Wellington,
one bass, how long? Just put it down. I can do the rest
and fuck off, Zach. Chef Ramsay has just had it. He comes in and just
says, you know what? Zach, I’m going to
work your station now. Chef, do I put it
fat side down first? Now he’s asking
me stupid questions. Hey, Chef, can I brush my teeth? Hey, Chef, can I
change my pants. One mistake and so frazzled. Five minutes to the window. Yes, Chef. Five minutes, two lamb,
two halibut, heard that. Chef, don’t touch this handle.
It’s very hot. Zach, leave me alone. Leave me alone. Customers had their appetizers
40 fucking minutes ago. Leave me alone. Just please, shut the fuck up. Don’t push it, man. Just go disappear somewhere. Two minutes to the window. Anytime I think about quitting
I think about Chef Ramsay. He wouldn’t quit. That’s my mentor. So thank you, Chef. I love you for that. Go. Oh, yay. Oh, wow. That looks good. Oh, my goodness. Worth the wait. Stoves off. Clear down. What a night. What a night. Blue team, what a disaster. One mistake and it’s whoa, bang. It’s like you hit a wall. And that’s why the winning
team tonight is the red team. Great job.
– Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef. The men will be
losing another member, so the teams will be four
in the red, two in the blue. Red team, I want you to
discuss which one of you is going to join the blue team. Jon, you are still
safe from elimination. I have one very difficult
assignment for you. I want you to think
about who do you want to drop from your
team, will it be Zach or will it be Anthony? Head to the dorms.
Get out of here. Thank you, Chef. This is going to be tough. Look at this. Zach. Yeah, that’s all. Zach can sell ice to
an Eskimo and then some, but Jon is smart enough to
know when Zach is full of it. What the fuck happened today? You shut down on me, and
it’s not the first time, man. Zach fucked up
royally on the meat station, utter fucking failure. I know you have a
heart of a lion, but do you have the heart
of a lion in this place? It’s only going to get worse. Are you up for that? Yeah, I’m fucking up for it. This definitely
made me stronger, and this is a wake up call. I’m getting stronger
in here in every way. I would love to stay,
and it would be an honor. I’m ready. ANNOUNCER: While Zach begs
to keep his blue jacket, downstairs, no one on the
red team wants to put one on. Who do you think can afford to
lose on the red team right now? Somebody who can
hold their own. Yeah. When the red members go to
the blue team, they go home. So I’m not raising my hand. I don’t think Jon is the issue. I think that Zach is the issue. None of us want
to deal with Zach. He’s so full of shit,
arrogant, a tool. I’m hoping that one
of them volunteers. I feel like I’m strong enough
to force Zach to communicate, and it seems like Anthony’s
just really quiet, and he just needs
to be more vocal. He just needs to be woken up. For me to go over
to the blue team, I think it’ll be a good move. I want to prove myself. I want to impress Chef Ramsay. So do you
definitely want to go? I think me going over
there would definitely be the most seamless. Thank god. I am so relieved to not
be going to the blue team. I think you over there, we have
the best chance of all being together in black jackets.
– I agree. I agree.
– Yeah. Ja’nel, you will
always be red at heart, but going over into
the blue team is like going into the black hole. You go and you just
never come back. Son of a bee sting. ANNOUNCER: The women’s
decision comes easily, but upstairs, Jon’s decision
on who to nominate– I’ve got a hard
decision to make. –is going to take
a little more work. I need to know where your
mind and your heart’s at, dude. My mind is in that kitchen. My heart is in that kitchen. I’m an asset to
the kitchen, and I just want to be that
asset to the kitchen in Jon’s eyes right now. If I’m there next to
you in that chaos, it’s going to be awesome. Anthony’s really strong,
but sometimes, he kind of switches off. Are you going to be willing to
jump in and lead the ticket? You’ve seen me do it before.
Can I? Yes.
Will I? Yes. This is such a hard decision. Who do I trust more
standing next to me? Who can I work with the best
in the war zone downstairs? Zach knows what he’s
doing on a line, but I feel like Anthony
has a better attitude towards getting shit done. Oh, fuck. Anthony’s willing to adapt
a lot faster than Zach is. Zach gets in his own
way and so does Anthony. It’s like half a dozen
of one, six of the other. Ah. [laughs] I’ve just got to
go make a real hard decision and trust that my
judgment is right. Seven of the blue
team have gone. There’s only three of you
left, and after tonight, there will only be a team of two. I’ve never, ever seen a
team disintegrate so fast. Jon? Yes, Chef? Which chef are you ready
to drop from your team? It took a lot of thought
and it hasn’t been easy, but I think I’m going to
have to put up Anthony, Chef. Anthony. Yes, Chef. I appreciate your decision,
but I still need to hear from both Anthony and Zach. Yes, Chef. Step forward, please. Anthony, why do you think you
should stay in Hell’s Kitchen? I think you’ve seen me
shine, and for me to be here the last three on
the blue team, it’s an amazing accomplishment
for myself, and I feel that I can
only go higher from this. What separates you from Zach? Chef, my heart
separates me from Zach. I just need the confidence
to kick it into gear right out of the gate. I personally can’t be
responsible for kick-starting you every time. At Caesar’s Palace, with a
brigade of 45, how on earth are you ever going
to run that team? Chef, I will have
the confidence. I’m giving you my absolute word. Zach, you hit a wall tonight. Whoosh, bang. You fell flat on your ass. Yes, Chef. Why do you think you should
stay in Hell’s Kitchen? Chef, because
the determination, the leadership skill,
the creativity, the love. I didn’t come this
far to give up. What separates you from Anthony? The difference from me and
Anthony is night and day, Chef. Like, I’m a fighter,
and I love people. I love what I do. This is my passion. I do it all for a reason, Chef. It’s a fighting for
myself to prove who I am. Screwing up is one thing. Sugarcoating it and not getting
straight to the solution is your big downfall. Are you done? No, I’m not, Chef. I’m nowhere near done. Anthony, what’s
left in the tank? Chef, my tank is
nowhere near empty. I am ready to go. The person leaving
Hell’s Kitchen– All of you, come here.
It’s overcooked. Come on, Anthony! Cold and raw. Come here, you. You’re sending me raw food! Stop. All of you, stop. Does that not look dry to you?
– Yes, Chef. It looks dry. That’s not the standard
of Hell’s Kitchen. How about give me a time? – 20 minutes, tops.
– 20 minutes? Anthony, give me
your jacket, big boy. Your time is done. Here’s why. It’s not just tonight’s
service, but you have been on a serious
downward spiral, and when you lose your
confidence, I lose mine. But you go through those doors,
you continue that journey and continue searching for what
you want out of this industry. Thank you, Chef. Good job. Thank you. Bye, Anthony. Bye, Anthony. Win, Jon. Hell’s Kitchen is insane
it’s like no other kitchen I’ve ever heard about, worked
in, or seen in my entire life. The blue team really
couldn’t get it together this whole competition. There was a bad cloud hanging
over us this whole time, and I am the most recent victim. Zach, come here. Do your jacket up. I’m watching you closely.
Back in line. Susan? Yes, Chef? Which member of
your red team will be moving over to the blue team? The red team has
selected Ja’nel to move over to the blue team.
– Ja’nel? – Yes, Chef.
– Why? We think that she’ll be
able to really strengthen them and lead them and guide them. Ja’nel, come on over here. This is weird. Enjoy. You look different in
blue, that’s for sure. You look good in blue, Ja’nel. Thanks, Jon. You’re welcome. I hope you do not follow
in Nedra’s footsteps. Absolutely not, Chef. Get out of here. Good night, Chef. It’s really hard to see
Ja’nel put on a blue jacket. She’s really going to give
us a run for our money. With Ja’nel on the blue
team, we’re like a freight train without any brakes. I don’t think the red
team fully comprehends what they’ve just done. Dude, we’re going
to be a team that I don’t think they can handle. I’m from Philly. You’ve seen a
Rocky movie, right? Well, you’re looking at him. So I’m gonna show Chef
Ramsay and everybody else what it means to be a champion. GORDON RAMSAY: Anthony Anthony
hobbled through Hell’s Kitchen, and even though his leg
eventually got better, his cooking didn’t.

Man little did we know that this 2 part episode was the start of Anthony’s sad downfall. From Scoring 0-4 on the Blind Taste Test Challenge, To not winning safety card at the King Of The Hill challenge to his poor performance on the fish station. Then to follow up with a poor plea was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Granted I can understand this elimination but Zach still surviving over him is still a crime.
My birthday wish is to have my comment hearted by the Hell's Kitchen Youtube channel ♥♥♥
Zack should have gotten a black jacket but him not being a woman couldnt appeal to Simp Ramsay
If I was on the blue team, I would just request an Uber to pick me up 😂
59:35 & 59:54 had me laughing

It’s okay. My wife did this to me one morning, and I got 3 out of 4…😅
46:46 Elbows off the table please. This isn’t your average greasy spoon.
I'm shocked that Chef Ramsay took Zach's answer as squash. He didn't take Elise's answer as beef.
What’s in the boooooxx
Thanks For Sharing!
