Hell's Kitchen (2005) s09e12 Episode Script

6 Chefs Compete

Previously, on Hell's Kitchen You're all flying to New York City to see BLT Steak firsthand.
Big apple, whoo! Chef Ramsay surprised the chefs with an inspirational trip to New York City.
Wow.
I'm ready to go all the way and to become head chef at BLT Steak.
When they returned, the chefs were randomly given an ethnic cuisine And the ethnic cuisine is Jamaican! Chinese.
Mexican.
French.
Good luck! And were challenged to be as creative as possible.
The spirit of Santo be with me.
What the heck is this? Chef Ramsay decided the best dish would win it for their team king of the hill! And that dish belonged to Jennifer! Good job.
A dinner service, in the blue kitchen Natalie! Natalie had her worst dinner service yet.
Bass returned! Dry! I don't know what I'm doing.
You hit the nail on the head there.
In the red kitchen You guys need to work together right now.
Jennifer was the lone voice of sanity as Elise picked a fight with the blue kitchen.
Did you or did you not score the first tray of Wellingtons? No.
Hook me up to a polygraph.
I'm telling you the damn truth.
Yeah.
And Elizabeth came unglued.
Four minutes on this cod, chef.
That's a bass you got.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, chef.
I'm sorry, chef.
I'm sorry, chef.
It's my fault, chef.
I'm very sorry, chef.
Get it together! In the end, both teams were forced to nominate one person for elimination.
Ultimately, the Red Team chose Elise, chef.
And the Blue Team selected Natalie, chef.
And chef Ramsay decided Natalie.
You are not ready to run BLT Steak.
Can you give me your jacket? Extinguishing her dreams of becoming head chef at BLT Steak in New York City.
Yes! Wah! And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out of here.
I saw that coming.
I'm so grateful to be here another day.
I had a bad night tonight, but tomorrow's gonna be a new day.
I'm gonna put this behind me and move forward with my best foot.
I hope that my team does that too.
We're down to six people, y'all.
This is gonna be, like, a high-intensity day.
And I need to calm down.
Yesterday night, that was a fluke.
I know I will not be frazzled again.
No matter what.
Elizabeth has this weird, like, track record where she just, like, panics.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, chef.
I'm sorry, chef.
I'm sorry, chef.
It's my fault, chef.
I'm very sorry, chef.
I'm sorry, chef.
At this stage of the game, that cannot be happening.
I just want to shake her.
It just scares me that I was capable of up so much.
I didn't think i had that in me.
After one of their weaker dinner services, both teams are eager for redemption.
Let's go! And chef Ramsay is eager to test them.
Right, good morning! Good morning, chef.
You know, as a chef, every day we're always fighting the clock.
You saw my frustrations last night on service, where your timing's been out of sync.
That is what your next challenge is all about.
Each team will be making three stunning dishes.
One chef from each team will be making a 30-minute entree.
One chef from each team will be making a 20-minute entree.
And then, finally, one chef from each team will be making a ten-minute entree.
All dishes must hit the pass together Oh, my God.
At precisely the 30-minute Mark.
The team with the best dishes wins the challenge.
You now have one minute to decide on who's cooking what entree.
Off you go.
You got it.
I gave Tommy the 30 'cause Tommy is more of a thinker.
Will can think quick on his feet, and I just took the middle.
I don't think I should do ten.
I think I should do either 30 or 20.
I jumped on the 30-minute dish because I know I can't cook in ten minutes.
The way my mind works, it's not the best place for me.
Do you feel like you can do ten? I I can do ten minute.
Red Team, Blue Team, are you ready? Yes, chef.
Your 30 minutes Starts now.
All right! Go, go, go, go.
Go, Tommy.
Go, go, go! For this next challenge, chef Ramsay is testing the chefs' ability to work within time limits.
Each team must create a 30-minute, 20-minute, and ten-minute entree.
Come on, Tommy.
I'm already on it.
Though there will be three different start times, all three dishes must be completed and arrive at the pass at the same time.
Jennifer, what's over three? Is there a pancetta over there? That first tray with the mushrooms, that's not pancetta? I jumped on the 30-minute dish because I need that time to think.
Uh, Jennifer, are you using mushrooms? Are there hen-of-the-woods over there? That one's not hen-of-the-woods? No, looks like a shitake.
Shut the up.
I need five freaking minutes to figure out what I'm doing.
Anything we can use? Red peppers, oranges, mushrooms.
Oysters is another option you have.
You guys listening? No.
Of course not.
While the women seem focused on their own individual dishes, over in the blue kitchen You need to get your stuff going right now, Tommy.
The men's focus Tommy.
Tommy, what protein you using? Lamb.
All right, don't wait on the lamb.
Don't forget to take that fat cap off, Tom! The whole cap should peel off.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
I'm gonna say what I have to say to try to get a fire under Tommy's ass to makes sure that he's moving.
I'm the kind of guy that, if I have something to say, I'm gonna say it.
Don't forget to talk to him the entire time, all right bro? Ten minutes into the timing challenge In the kitchen, let's go! Elizabeth and Paul are ready to get started on their 20-minute entrees.
I'm not worried about what I can do in 20 minutes.
It's totally, 100% game on.
Pauly is gonna be on top.
I'm gonna show you why I'm a big deal.
What are you going with, Pauly? It's made of water, fish, salad.
I'm gonna do monkfish.
And I am going to do it with couscous.
And asparagus.
Get the couscous on, right now.
As the chefs race against the clock Go! Last ten minutes.
It's time for will and Elise to take their shot at creating something special in ten minutes.
Oh, there's a hot pepper.
I don't see shallots.
Where's shallots, Jennifer? You already done with the mandolin? Yeah, take it! Elise, what are you doing? Spicy calamari.
How's everyone doing? With time winding down I have raw lamb right now.
Jennifer has made a dire discovery.
Me.
My lamb is not ready yet.
I'm, like, freaking out.
This sucks.
I don't understand why Jen's freaking out.
She's like, "uh! Uh, uh!" I mean, at this point in the game, you gotta be able to cook a dish in 30 minutes.
Three minutes left! I have raw lamb.
How raw, Jennifer? Like, raw! Get 'em in a Pan! - I am! - It's gotta heat up! I have blue meat right now.
Not even rare.
No one wants to eat blue meat.
No way this is gonna be ready.
Tommy, you just about ready, bro? Yeah.
We gotta plate now.
God.
FiveFour Three Tommy, we gotta walk! TwoOne And serve! Okay Let's start off with the battle of the 30-minute dishes.
Tommy, what is it, please? The lamb has a quail egg on top of a hash.
Quail egg on top of lamb? Mm-hmm.
Look like it's cooked properly.
Great sear on the lamb.
I never thought about using quail egg on lamb.
But it actually works quite well.
Damn.
Thank you.
Jennifer Would you mind describing the dish, please? It's probably the worst dish I ever made in my life.
- What? - Yes.
Young lady, you had 30 minutes.
I'm telling you, the lamb was a little rare.
I'm trying to, like, imagine, like, what Jennifer's thinking, pointing out exactly what was wrong on her dish, which is crazy.
The lamb Is pink.
That's not raw.
Wow, I should go to Vegas right now.
'Cause I'm one lucky girl.
The lamb's delicious.
Sauce is delicious.
I love the dish.
Wow.
Good job.
Thank you, chef.
The 30-minute dish Congratulations, Red Team.
Good job.
One, nothing to the red.
Okay, 20-minute dishes, please.
Let's go.
Come on, Pauly.
Okay, Paul.
What is it, please? It's a Pan-roasted sea bass, chef.
A great sear.
Thank you, chef.
Opaque in the center.
Needs reducing a little bit , because it's a little bit watery.
However, I've got that zest of something sort of refreshing and light.
It's got finesse.
I talk the game, and I back it up.
I can do beautiful dishes that taste good and look very nice for 20 minutes, I'm the biggest of all the deals.
Elizabeth, what is it, please? I did monkfish with couscous.
I thought it might have French of mediterranean type feel to it.
The monkfish, you've nailed perfectly.
Slightly opaque, a little bit translucent in the center.
Thank you, chef.
Couscous, slightly bland.
The hard part, you nailed, cooking the monkfish.
Tastes delicious.
Two good dishes.
Point goes to Blue Team.
Congratulations.
Thank you, chef.
Love the finesse on that.
Thank you.
Love it.
Good job, Pauly.
It all comes down to the battle of the ten-minute entree Let's go.
Come on, Will.
Come on, Will.
The chefs that had the least amount of time.
Will, what is that, please? Lemon-seared Santa Barbara prawns.
I'm here to win.
Everyone should consider me their biggest threat.
I know I consider me my biggest threat.
I seared them in the shell just to get a little more flavor out of them, then I peeled them.
And the vegetables, what'd you put in there? Salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic.
It's cooked beautifully.
Yeah, unfortunately, these vegetables have got too much garlic in there, so it's too overpowering.
Elise, what is it, please? It's a spicy calamari with a tomato-pepper sauce.
How did you cook the calamari? I fried it first and then tossed it in with the tomato sauce last.
I like the heat.
Tomato, the peppers.
But the calamari are undercooked.
Congratulations goes to Um The score is tied in today's timing challenge.
And now it all comes down to will's Santa Barbara prawns versus Elise's fried calamari.
Congratulation goes to Blue Team.
Good job.
Thank you, chef.
You win the challenge.
Well done, brother.
Oh, look at that face.
Blue Team, today, you're gonna be rewarded in style.
You're going on a shopping spree.
What?! In one of L.
A.

Ted Baker of London, one of my favorite all-time designers.
Are you kidding me? I'm definitely gonna pimp out some chef Ramsay clothes, man.

So there's a limo waiting.
Ohh! Awesome.
This reward was perfect.
I mean, a shopping spree.

Okay, I need to tell you all something very important.
For the first time in our history of Hell's Kitchen, we'll be hosting a unique, exclusive black tie charity event.

We'll be serving a six-course menu.
Understand the importance of this dinner.
Got it? Got it.
Yes, chef.
Blue Team, limo's waiting.

Thank you.
Good luck! Ladies You'll be setting up both kitchens for tonight's service.
After you set up both kitchens, i need two banquet tables moved in and I want you to reorganize the dining room.
Yes, chef.
Get cleaning.
Stop crying.
Bounce back, Elise! Bye-bye, ladies.
Bye.
I accept gifts.
Feel free to buy me gifts.
It sucks that I had one of the best dishes, and I still have to stay back and do a punishment.
Just like, ugh! I'm gonna get a fur co.
.
Ah, .]
me.
Oh, my God! You can see the sky! Freedom! My primary focus right now is to go out and spend chef Ramsay's money.
I'm gonna have a smile on my face.
Ohh! I'm pretty stoked about the limo.
I'm rich, bitch! I mean, I'm a big deal.
That's just come sense.
Whoo! Hey! Oh, my God!! Get off of me! You son of a bitch.
I need new clothes now.
Are we on rodeo drive? Yeah! I'm bored now.
I could live with cruising around Beverly hills in a limousine.
It's actually a pretty good time.
Hello, ladies.
When the Blue Team is cruising in style, back in Hell's Kitchen, the Red Team How we gonna do this? Can we slide it? Has hit a roadblock.
Okay, go.
Uh-oh.
This is heavy.
Oh, , we can't even, like, budge this table.
We can't just push it from behind? No.
Can you stand here and hold this? This is where I'm gonna crack today.
I'm not the most physically fit person here.
But, like, do they not have muscles? Oh,.
You guys need to lift it up.
Elise and Elizabeth are, like, lifting an inch off the ground.
Lift it up to your chest.
Up to here.
Just pick it up and let's get it done.
I'm picking it up as much as I can.
Uhh! Ted Baker! Hello.
Hello, ladies.
Hi, welcome.
We're gonna help you.
Awesome.
Okay, so what are we looking for? Ah, psh I don't know where to start, man I don't shop.
I have a wife.
She shops for me.
Why don't you guys take a look around and start picking things out.
I'm not a stylish dude.
Really? You got a leather vest on.
I wear this every day.
There you go.
That's pretty stylin'.
I had no idea, till I walked in there, that I was such a stylish individual.
Hey, will, what do you think of this? He looks like a sexy train robber.
Go for it, Tommy.
Will, is this shirt pink? I don't think it's pink at all, bro.
I think you're colorblind That color brings out the brightness in your eyes, bro.
Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
You're welcome.
Long as I get enough gangsta lean on it, man.
I like that a lot.
For my gal, for, like, the nice dinner dates.
She'd love it.
She's my size? She's I don't really know much about women's sizing.
I'm not trying to give you, like, the creepy look up and down.
But I'm trying to think what size yeah, you are.
What size my girl is right now.
So I kinda just said About your size.
I'm a zero, so she's probably a one.
Yeah.
We'll do that.
The highlight of my day is definitely finding my girlfriend a beautiful dress.
I can't wait to see her in it, and it's making me miss her even more.
Thank you very much.
Really appreciate it.
No problem.
Tell Ted I said hello.
I will.
While the men finish up their shopping spree Thank you, sir.
The Red Team continues to make over the dining room.
The table looks blingin'.
Y'all did y'all candles different.
I like the candles like that.
So now I have to change my whole thing.
Out and in.
Out and in.
Are you serious? If Elise tells me one more time where to move the candlesticks, it's gonna be a bloodbath.
I have a place for this candlestick right now.
What up, ladies? We had the most fabulous day shopping.
Where's your outfits? Check this out.
I got you something.
Here you go.
It's handkerchief.
So next time I kick your ass in a challenge, you can cry all over it! - With a V.
I.
P.
- charity dinner ahead of them, the chefs are all business.
All right, shaved carrot.
Each chef will be in charge of two courses of the special six-course meal.
These are the dishes you will individually be in charge of.
You gotta know 'em backwards.
Yes, chef.
So, Jen, you'll be responsible for the lobster and the appetizer ten.
We each have an assignment.
We're reach responsible for our two courses.
It doesn't seem really complicated, but one person can't do Tonight, we need to work together.
Come here.
We need to have a team meeting.
My plan was for both of us to work risottos, and then for her to drop the calamari.
I'll work squid, but I need to be working my chicken at the same time.
So you can't help.
Okay.
So, Jennifer, it'll be just me and you working risotto because she can't help.
You keep being a boss.
I'm not! You're, like, attacking me, because this is what you do best.
My God.
I've been patient with Elise, but if she's gonna attack me, she's with the wrong person.
My chicken has to be ready.
That's all that I said.
This is why I've never been a team player from the beginning Everybody else pretends to be a team player, but looks out for their own self.
If that's all it is, then I can look out for me.
Okay, uh, listen.
Never before have we done something as important as tonight's charity event.
You will be supervising two courses each.
So I'm gonna use this service to figure out which five deserve the black jacket.
Oh, God.
Okay? Get on your stations.
Let's go.
I'm in shock.
We're, like, one dinner service away from black jackets.
If this doesn't motivate us, I don't know what else will.
You about ready to win? 'Cause I am.
For everyone, you have to be elite to wear this black jacket.
Cream always rises to the top, and now, this is my time to show what I can do.
James Yes, chef? Please welcome our special guests into Hell's Kitchen.
Yes, chef.
Let's go.
For the first time in Hell's Kitchen history, the restaurant is closed for a black tie event honoring guests who've contributed a combined $3 million to charity.
I'd like to say a personal thank you on the untold support for charity.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The Red Team will be cooking for donors to the American cancer society while the Blue Team will be cooking for donors to the American humane association.
Now I'm getting nervous.
Let me say a prayer for us.
We need a lot of prayers.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to be seated for dinner Guys, they're sitting now, okay? All right.
Let's do it, boys.
Okay, here we go.
Elizabeth, you're in charge.
This is your moment.
Yes, chef.
I want to hear you.
Seven minutes, chef.
Let's go.
I'm in a really stressful situation right now.
Looking out into the dining room and seeing the cancer society there, this is taking it to a whole next level.
Just out of interest, why aren't two of you putting the scallops in the Pan? Elise, can you put scallops in the Pan? Come on! Come on, Elizabeth.
Yes, chef! Delegate, come on.
Yes, chef.
Okay, Blue Team.
Here we go.

Okay? table 20.
12 scallops to the window.
Let's go.
Six minutes to the windows, guys! Six minutes heard.
Tommy, start the salad.
I am personally responsible tonight for the first course, the scallops.
Will, start flipping those scallops.
Yep, you got it.
I've done tastings before like this.
I understand that it's very important for us to get off to a strong start.
So I'm gonna take control of the situation.
Paul, is that what you want? Yes.
You're happy? Yes.
Okay, good.
Everything is good.
Service, please, let's go.
Don't go until I see them.
More curry on there.
Touch more on there.
Let's go.
Dirty plate here.
Come on, guys, please.
Finesse.
Oh, who dressed that salad? Tommy! Oh, come on.
There's water in the whole salad, Tommy! I wanted to smack Tommy in the face, dude! It's Greens and olive oil.
Shake 'em off, put 'em in the bowl.
That's it.
Come on, guys! While the blue team rushes to recover from Tommy's sloppy salad, over in the red kitchen I'm dropping cauliflower Elizabeth, yep.
Elizabeth.
The women turn to Elizabeth for guidance on the first of her two courses.
Elizabeth.
Yep.
Elizabeth's job is to be a leader, speak up, and tell me what to do.
How long till the window, you think? But it's dead.
It's like crickets.
There's no response.
I'm not gonna let us go down tonight.
They go in two minutes.
You want me to start plating? Yep, go.
Elizabeth has zero qualities as a leader.
Jennifer and I did her whole first course for her.
Go.
Very nice.
Red Team, go.
Blue Team, service.
Go.
Paul and Elizabeth's first courses have made their way out to the dining room.
And tonight's V.
I.
P.
guests This is very good.
It's delicious.
Are giving rave reviews.
But back in the red kitchen Elizabeth.
Yep? Come here.
Where's the voice? There is a harsh critic.
Where's the leadership? Yes, chef.
You've got one more course left.
Own it! Yes, chef! Chef obviously didn't like the way that I was leading.
So when my other course goes out, I want everything to be perfect.
So my chicken's working.
You dropped your chickens.
Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out why the chicken's in already.
We still have two courses before that.
Let's go.
Next course.
12 risotto.
Yes, chef.
Jennifer, you and I are gonna work risottos together.
Elizabeth, I'm gonna give you a countdown when to drop my calamari.
Thank you.
I'm responsible for risotto, and I plan to execute it with all my heart.
That's how I feel about it.
Walking.
Last dinner service didn't go according to plan.
Let's go, ladies! We got this! And I'm gonna show and prove tonight that I can step up my game.
Don't send anything.
Beautiful.
Go.
Thank you, chef.
Thanks to strong leadership from Elise, the red diners have received their risotto exactly on schedule.
Really creamy.
Really good.
And the Red Team Jennifer, let's go.
Cappellini course.
Yes, chef.
Is moving on to their third course.
Meanwhile, over in the blue kitchen How long? Six minutes.
Six minutes? Yeah.
Tommy's risotto is still in the Pan.
If it's six minutes, why are you finishing it? I'm not, I'm mixing the parmesan.
But that's finishing the rice.
Unless you're ready to finish, don't add the parmesan.
Yo, I got it.
Just let me make it, bro.
It'll taste good when I'm done, all right? And if it's not, tear me a new one.
I'm not gonna let you Let me do my thing.
I don't like other people's input in my cooking.
He's telling me to do all this and this and this different.
When I really just wanted to get away and let me finish the risotto myself.
I'm not gonna let you do something that's wrong.
I'm not gonna get yelled at by chef for you doing something like that.
You won't.
I will.
Because I'm directing this rice output right here.
There's a right way and a wrong way to make rice, plain and simple.
But you know what? You wanna drive the bus the way you wanna drive the bus, man, here's the steering wheel Drive away.
How long, Tommy? Comin' up right now! Do all three taste the same? Bring the pans down.
They do taste bring all three down, I said! Every single one.
They're dead on.
I tasted each one.
You have three different tastes there! What's complicated? Nothing, nothing.
Nothing, chef.
You put 'em all in one large Pan, you finish 'em off together! Half in here.
Mix 'em up.
Now you got all three in one, all right? You know, I should have called it, 100%.
You wanna be Mr.
Man, bro, you gotta take the lumps where the lumps come.
Paul, you got the calamari? Come on, Tommy! Right.
You guys are ready? Yeah, I'm platin' 'em up, Tommy.
Go, please.
With a big assist from will, the risotto is now finally making it out to the dining room.
I love it.
And the Blue Team is moving on to course number three.
12 cappellini away, will! Yes, chef, 3 1/2 minutes to the window.
Meanwhile, back in the red kitchen, Jennifer's cappellini is already headed to the pass.
We need to move fast.
Okay.
Do something, Elise.
Yes, chef! Come on, coat that pasta, Elizabeth.
Toss it! It's a draw between Elise and Elizabeth on who's the biggest waste of space.
Now.
Elise, on the plate, right now! You know what? Seriously.
I swear to God.
You know what, Elise? I helped you.
Elise wasn't doing.
She was just standing there.
Okay, these look okay? That one needs more lobster.
Don't send that out without more lobster.
Elizabeth, you just did everything half-assed, if you want me to be honest.
Elise, give me your opinion.
It looks good.
"It looks good"? "It looks good!" Look at this one with four little bits of lobster on it, Look at that and that! I'm so embarrassed! Come on! Jennifer, what do you want me to do? What the hell is wrong with you guys? Are you trying to sabotage me? Tonight, Hell's Kitchen has been closed for a special V.
I.
P.
charity event.
But three courses into a six-course dinner Look at that! And that! Jennifer is looking for help plating her lobster cappellini.
What the hell is wrong with you guys? Trying to sabotage me? And is completely disappointed by her teammates.
I Helped both of you.
What do you want me to do? Why would I try to sabotage? I didn't have to sabotage.
Jen's up so bad on her own.
Do you want me to put this up there? Yes! Okay! Well, you have to give me direction, like you're just You know what, Elise? Back off.

Let's go.
Seven minutes to the window.
Yes, chef.
Elise is in the driver's seat for course number five.
Are you gonna want help with, um, the Wellingtons? No, I don't want my Wellingtons touched.
I don't want any of them chicks touchin' my Wellingtons.
Because, at this point in the game, I don't trust neither one of them as far as I can throw 'em, and I can't pick neither one of 'em up.
So you need to tell everybody what you want them to do.
I am.
I want you to do my sides.
Because you're really, really good at that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So what do you need me to do and when? UmYou can heat up the red wine jus.
Heat up my sauce that's already in a pot.
That's what you can do for me, and stir these potatoes.
That's it.
Please don't burn it, but I know you won't.
While Elise has no trouble taking charge of her Wellingtons Over in the blue kitchen Tommy, how do you wanna do this? Oh, my God.
It's Tommy's turn to take the lead.
But Paul and will are getting almost no guidance.
Tell us what to do then.
You're leading us.
What do you wanna do? Tommy is a deer in the headlights.
He's always saying he's so focused, he's so focused.
He's lost.
Hey, come here, you.
Risotto was a disaster.
Wellington, get a grip.
Yeah, I got it.
Wake up.
I wanna hear you, and you leading your team! Absolutely! All right! Will, you put up plates, followed by me.
I knock down the puree.
Paul, you tail me with the carrots.
You put down the carrots while you're slicing the meat.
And in turn, you will bring up the meat.
I will follow you with the sauce.
All right.
One of you guys follow me with a plate wipe.
That's how it's gonna go.
Exactly.
I'm definitely more tuned in than people think I am.
Everyone thinks I daydream a lot.
But, uh, it's really just me concentrating.
I do have a lazy eye, too.
So if I'm looking at the ceiling, uh, I'm probably actually looking at what I'm doing.
Plates a-risin'.
These are lookin' great, guys.
Very nice, Tommy.
Great job.
Go, please.
Finally.
Hey, you redeemed yourself.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you.
This is good.
We ready? Make sure it's perfect.
These are perfect.
All right, let's swap.
Carrots right on top of the potatoes.
Got it.
Good.
Elise, go slice the Wellington.
I'll finish this.
on top.
Pan down.
Work with two hands.
All of you, come here.
Come here.
All of you, come here.
Now,.
Just taste that.
All of you.
Hurry up.
Jump in, hurry up.
Just taste that.
What does that need? Salt.
What does that need? Salt.
What does it Come here, you.
Why? Why you doing this on my night tonight? Why? This is your course.
Yes, chef.
You know it needs seasoning.
Yes, chef.
What is going on here? You wanna talk about sabotage? Jennifer and Elizabeth knew they were lacking leadership abilities, so what better way to it up than to try to sabotage my , so they don't look as bad.
Is this on purpose? No, I'm telling you I'm not laughing.
I am not laughing.
I'm not laughing.
I can't believe she said that.
To question my ethics? Please.
Let's go! I'm walkin'.
Come on, we already made 'em wait long enough.
Go.
She's not even that good.
Why would sabotage someone I don't think is that good? Wipe the rims, please.
Go, please.
They're beautifully cooked, those Wellingtons.
Oh, I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
- Now that the v.
- I.
P.
Diners on both sides are enjoying their lamb Wellingtons That's delicious.
The teams have just one course left to complete dinner service.
Let's go Three minutes to the window, chef.
Three minutes.
Heard.
Okay, so Elizabeth, do you want to do fritters for me? Yes.
What do you want me to do? Sautee the apples.
Okay.
And the apples should be cooked through.
While Jennifer delegates dessert responsibilities Chef, I'm clearing their salads.
Thank you.
The blue V.
I.
P.
table has finished their lamb Wellingtons.
Service, please.
Line up.
Let's go.
And the blue kitchen Fritters are ready to rock.
Is ready to send out will's apple tatin.
Let's go.
Very nice, will.
Go.
Thank you, chef.
Well done.
All on Blue Team.
Switch everything off, please.
We worked as a team today.
We all had motivation.
We all had drive, especially for tonight because of the charities.
It feels great.
While the blue diners dive into dessert Back in the red kitchen You start that way.
I'll start this way.
Yep.
The women are still slowly plating.
The apples are raw.
Just touch that inside.
Off, will you? Can we get the apples back in the Pan?! Okay.
Okay.
I had Elise cook one Pan of apples.
And it's raw.
This bitch will do anything - to get rid of me - Anything.
You put them on.
You put them on.
Not one of you could tell her they're undercooked.
You don't care for each other! I work hard with them, for them.
I make sure you guys are ready.
I did exactly what you told me to do.
Elise Are you serious? Yep, this is for the whole mashed potato thing.
You know what, Elise? You're as petty as can it be.
You know what? I've kept my mouth shut for a long time.
I'm not keeping it shut anymore.
War is on.
What? Tonight, Hell's Kitchen is playing host to a special charity dinner honoring donors who have given $3 million.
And with a dining room full of V.
I.
P.
guests, the Red Team I've kept my mouth shut for a long time.
I'm not keeping it shut anymore.
War is on.
What? Has completely unraveled over raw apples.
I don't need your help, thank you.
I'm gonna help anyway.
I really don't want it.
Is that how it's gonna be? Jen's blaming me, trying to make me look bad.
She's gonna regret not making a friend of me.
Go, please! The little apple fritter is fantastic.
Anything to say? We suck, yes.
Congratulations, Blue Team.
You got your together.
Which was the opposite to what the Red Team did.
Red Team, you got off to a much better start than Blue Team.
But then everything came crashing down on the cappellini, Jennifer.
You were supposed to lead, show the competition what you're made of.
If I go home tonight I go home with my integrity.
I would never sabotage anyone on this team.
I had your backs.
Sabotage? No.
I was the one who tried to rally the team.
I really wanted to win tonight.
I'm more of a leader than both of you put together.
You know it's true.
Oh, right.
What I should have done is take over everything.
Are you kidding me? That's what i should have done.
My performance was not as bad as you two's, so don't even start.
Ladies! The only thing I can say to all three of you is, get ready to plead for your life.
'Cause tonight, all three of you can be leaving this competition.
Now off! Elise is used to living in Elise's world.
In her delusional state, she thinks she's the leader of the team and all this complete psychotic.
Once she's gone, I will shine all the way to the end.
I'll be damned if I have to go home over her.
She's been up five times.
Give me a break.
I have been so much stronger than her for so long.
Gonna sit there and tell me you're the leader? Are you kidding me? What the was that? Where does that come from? Elise is one of those people that throw you under the bus and drive over you and back up three times.
You know what, Elise? Sit and rotate.
Ohh! What happened over there? I don't want to talk about it.
You're safe.
Why the do you care? I don't feel like I can trust anybody here.
They're all looking to backstab you.
They're all looking to make themselves look better than you.
There's no reason I should be going up tonight! I'm pissed! Everything that I had to cook was perfect.
Now I have to fight for my life.
Chef Ramsay's tired of seeing my ass up there.
And I could be going home tonight when I don't deserve to.
- Don't stress too hard.
- Are you kidding me? Blue Team, you gave me a performance worthy of a black jacket.
Will Congratulations.
Thank you very much, chef.
Yeah.
Continue.
Thank you, chef.
Paul! Thank you, chef.
You deserve it.
Thank you, chef.
Tommy A night of redemption! Yeah, good job.
Yes? Thank you, chef.
Well done.
Okay.
Ladies, step forward, please.
Good luck, girls.
I've got one question for all three of you.
What in the hell happened tonight?! I felt that leadership lacked tonight.
No, I think it was more communication.
More talking.
More working together, teamwork.
And that falls in leadership, it has nothing to do with teamwork.
We were all assigned courses.
And neither one of you led your course! I led my course! You led your course? Interesting.
Yes! You know, i can sit here and say leadership.
That if he sends me home tonight, that I worked hard for both of you.
That I put my heart and soul for my team.
You can't say that.
Can you lead a team? Can you listen? Can you lead a team? Yes.
You can cook? And you can be a team player? Why don't you shut up for five seconds? I'm not gonna shut up, 'cause I'm fighting for my life right now! And don't tell me that leadership didn't lack in the kitchen, because it did! And I should have took over all of that , but I didn't, because I wanted you to shine with me! No one respects you.
This is why you can't be a leader.
It's listening To what goes on.
It's not about respect.
It's about you're intimidating.
You don't listen.
It's called intimidation.
This is exactly what happens all day.
This is what we've been dealing with since the beginning.
Stop.
Elizabeth, tell my why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
I am a great cook, chef.
And it's all that I think about.
I live it all day.
And I wanna be here till the end.
And I wanna cook my ass off against great chefs.
JenniferTell me why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
I know, every day, you tell me I need confidence.
Me competing against these people, would make me confident.
I need this.
'Cause I wanna compete against the best.
Elise Tell me why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
I am a great cook, and it takes more than just being a great cook to run BLT Steak.
You also have to be a leader.
And I tried to rally my team tonight.
I wanted to nail this service.
Okay.
This is a very difficult decision.
My decision is While the entire Blue Team has already received black jackets, the fate of the Red Team hangs in the balance, and chef Ramsay must decide who will join the black team and who will go home.
My decision is Jennifer.
Take off your jacket.
This has been your worst service.
Yes? Yes, chef.
And I don't know what happened tonight.
But you were not on the game.
Chef, I can do it.
I'm telling you.
And that is why Ohh.
I believe in you.
Oh, my God.
Put that jacket on.
Thank you, chef.
Back in line.
You deserve that jacket.
Bringin' it in.
Bringin' it in.
You deserve that jacket.
- You deserve that.
- You do.
Ladies This is very difficult.
Chef, chef, please.
Don't give up on me, chef! Please don't give up on me yet.
Please give me another shot, chef.
You're both very passionate.
I can do this.
I promise you.
Both of you, take your jackets off.
Elizabeth, come here first.
You came here for all the right reasons.
You're young.
You've got a huge future in front of you.
But you are not ready to take command of a brigade.
Good night.
Keep your head up, girl.
Keep your head up! When I set foot in Hell's Kitchen, I really wanted to just prove to myself that I could do this.
I cooked my ass off.
I tried my hardest.
I think I am as good of a cook as everybody else in there with black jackets but it just wasn't my time right now.
Elise, step forward.
It's almost like you're caught in a downward spiral.
But you have had success in this competition.
I do see something in you.
Take this.
Get back in line.
- Oh, my - Thank you, chef! Whoo! Whoo! All five of you, congratulations.
Thank you, chef.
You're now one team.
But get ready for the service of your lives.
Now Get out of here.
I know that I'm final five.
I know that I deserve to be here.
And all I can say is, I got a black jacket.
If Elise thinks that she's gonna come in with attitude, she's gonna get slammed down to the ground right quick.
It's just the same.
Now they get to deal with Elise.
Good luck, guys.
They're in for a huge surprise.
Tonight was all about charity in Hell's Kitchen.
And after watching Elizabeth's performance, I'm now ready to donate her jacket to a worthy cause.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen It's down to the final five.
Black coats! Final five! But the celebration is short-lived Tomorrow night, there will be another team inside the red kitchen.
When chef Ramsay shocks the chefs Welcome back.
Ben! Tennille! Trev! Jillian! Van! Yeah, baby! By testing them against five of Hell's Kitchen's greatest.
Game time! Whoo! But when Elise tries to take over I'm not cooking will's menu! Elise You're not my mother.
I'm gonna say what I need to say.
It's not all what you want.
Will it tear the newly-formed black team apart? No! I'm sick of this! You had to have been the problem on the Red Team.
I'm not the problem, 'cause I'm still here.
I'm done.
I'm gonna go home right now! Will Find out on a no-holds barred Episode of Hell's Kitchen.
Bye-bye!
