amateurs.

Get out of here, everybody.
Yes, chef.
[Bleep.]
Ooh.
I'm upset with myself right now.
My mistakes are so [bleep.]
stupid, like my chicken.
That's it.
I feel like I let chef Ramsay down and I let everybody on my team down.
That's basically it.
Unbelievable.
I'm just I'm just upset with myself Yeah.
[Sighs.]
I mean, what the [bleep.]
, man? Bring it.
Exactly [bleep.]
right.
Barret, you're moving backwards.
You're so defeated at this point.
Go back to the old Barret that started this [bleep.]
And then step it up for the team.
Listen, Barret, you could crumble to the ground or you could use it as fire.
Do you think I crumble? No.
I'm here for a reason, and that's to win.
And from this day on, I'm gonna bring it every [bleep.]
day.
But if it takes something crazy to show chef Ramsay that I'm serious about this, then that's what needs to be done.
(Announcer) While Barret tries to give himself a competitive edge, the women Blue team is dysfunctional.
(Announcer) Are thinking the men may not be competition at all.
At this point, we're competing against ourselves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chef Ramsay's just picking the blue team apart, pieces by pieces.
Damn, blue team.
Damn! It's definitely gonna be all girls in black jackets this year.
We're gonna make Hell's Kitchen history.
But let's not get cocky, right? It's true, 'cause it's easy as hell to do that [bleep.]
.
We just gotta stay humble.
We need a piece of the humble pie right now.
We gotta win that [bleep.]
challenge.
We'll just rock it out, red team.
Double time, boys.
Go together, go together, go together.
Let's go.
Good morning.
Let's go, ladies.
Good morning, chef.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Good morning, chef.
How are we feeling? Good, chef.
Barret, clean shave this morning.
Yes, chef.
What happened to the sideburns? [Laughter.]
(Nedra) Like, what the hell? Barret, you pulled a Britney Spears on us.
Mm-mm.
(Gordon) Bloody hell.
What happened? I'm ready to work.
It's not about the look, it's about my passion for food.
Good.
Tonight is steak night in Hell's Kitchen.
Ooh.
(Gordon) That's right.
This is a legendary night.
So, your next challenge is all about creativity with steak.
Thank you, Andi.
Thank you, James.
Chef reveals these thick-cut pieces of beef.
Nice.
I'm slobbering in my mouth.
Red team, you have seven on your team, so there'll be two of you that'll be cooking together to go head-to-head against the filet in the blue team.
Once you get your cut from the board, run back into the kitchen, where I want you to create the most exciting rubs to enhance your steak.
I would like all those steaks cooked to medium rare.
You've all got 30 minutes to grab and enhance your meat.
Go! Now! Let's go.
(Announcer) Each chef needs to prepare a different cut of meat, for which they must create a unique sauce or rub Susie, it's gonna be me and you.
Good.
(Announcer) Using anything they want from a huge variety of fruits, spices, herbs, and oils.
I've got fresh ground black, if anyone needs some.
Yes.
Everyone have an idea what they're doing? Yes.
Yes.
I'm doing a salt and pepper-rubbed rib-eye with a blackberry vanilla sauce.
Blackberry vanilla? Yeah.
(Ja'nel) Mary is a butcher, and she's comfortable butchering meat, but butchering meat and cooking meat are two different things, and I'm a little nervous.
It'd be like, eh, it's kind of sweet.
A little bit, yeah.
Not a fan.
Yes, chef! Tell me what you guys think.
I kind of want to go a little bit sweeter, so I'm going with banana and mint, and I'm gonna finish it with some citrus.
(Anthony) I'm not gonna lie.
I've never made anything with bananas like this before.
This is complete, off the top of my head, praying to God that it works.
Just keep it simple.
Yeah.
(Gordon) Just over ten minutes to go.
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
What kind of sauce are you making? A raspberry-chipotle sauce.
Sounds good.
Keep up the teamwork.
I have no [bleep.]
idea what I'm doing.
My brain just starts throwing a million ideas at me.
I'm wondering, a rub or a sauce or both? I could really use some help right now.
I feel like mine sucks.
You know, it's hard to know.
(Announcer) While Amanda is unsure about her meat, in the blue kitchen, Barret Get in there, baby.
Yeah.
(Announcer) Is taking a real hands-on approach.
Oh, [bleep.]
, yeah.
Right off the bat, I think, I love working with black garlic, so I know exactly what I need to do to make this hanger steak shine.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
(Zach) Barret is about to orgasm.
Massage it.
Yeah.
I mean, whoa, just Whoo! Massage it, baby.
Gentlemen! Yes, chef! Last five.
Make it count.
Now I just can't [bleep.]
up the steak.
Let's go, girls.
We can do steaks, right, ladies? We can do steaks.
Yeah, we can.
We got this.
Jon, taste this sauce, please.
Grand marnier.
I think you got your [bleep.]
right on.
This is what I do.
We're men.
We cook steak.
We eat steak.
This is ours for the winning.
Oh, perfect.
Last two minutes, ladies.
Let's get it, ladies, let's get it.
Man, you're on fire, for [bleep.]
sake.
Those peppercorns are burning.
[Bleep.]
, man.
Who got the zester? Zester? Microplane's over there.
Can I taste your sauce, Nedra? Yeah, it ain't done yet.
(Gordon) 5 Up, guys, up.
4, 3 Nedra! Bring your steak, Nedra! Okay, first up, porterhouse.
Let's go.
(Announcer) Cyndi and Jon are the first to face off in the steak challenge.
This is a wild-mushroom-dusted porterhouse, and I had a black garlic, thyme, Rosemary butter.
It's a perfect medium rare.
Thank you, chef.
With a porterhouse, really hard to do.
Really nice flavor.
Beautiful.
Thank you, chef.
Great job.
Good job, Cyndi.
Eh, Jon.
(Jon) The sauce is blackberries, a little black garlic, a hint of lavender.
You know, you've cooked it a perfect Thank you, chef.
Medium rare.
Thank you, chef.
Bold move there.
Blackberries, right? Yes.
Um, it's paid off.
It's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
The point goes to Tough one.
Jon, great job.
Thank you.
Well done.
Good job, Jonny.
(Cyndi) Can't we both get a point? You're killing me here, chef Ramsay.
Good job, chef.
Okay, next up, battle of the filet.
(Announcer) The men are off to an early lead.
It's now up to Nedra and Susan, who worked on the filet together, to get the red team on the board.
I have a filet, crusted, and Chinese peppercorn and pink peppercorn, some lemon zest, with a touch of mustard seed, I wanted to kind of also glaze my filet.
Added a little bit of water to it, some orange juice, let that reduce down, and I kind of just marinated my steak along with that.
Zach used, like, 55 ingredients, just to make a filet mignon.
I mean, I just don't really get it.
Temperature-wise, you've nailed a perfect medium rare.
Thank you, chef.
But is it supposed to be that sweet? Yes.
Right.
Thank you.
Nedra.
I have a raspberry chipotle sauce with a little fresh mint.
A medium rare, beautiful done.
Thank you, chef.
Um, tough one.
I can take that heat.
It's delicious.
Uh, the point goes to Both of you.
Good job.
Good job, guys, good job.
Thank you, chef.
Good job.
Chef Zach, bust it out, 'cause we got a point.
Chef Zach, I cooked my ass off, I cooked my ass off.
Next up, New York strip.
Let's go.
(Announcer) With the men up by one, Amanda is hoping her smokehouse barbecue New York strip You've forgotten salt and pepper.
(Announcer) Can defeat Michael's truffle-crusted New York strip.
That's medium.
What did I ask for? Med-rare, chef.
(Announcer) But neither dish impresses chef Ramsay.
The point goes to none of you.
Come on, guys.
[Buzzer.]
(Announcer) And the score remains the same.
Choke-fest.
The rib cap.
Let's go.
(Announcer) Now, Anthony's (Anthony) Shallots, garlic, dried banana.
Um, it actually works.
(Announcer) Goes up against Jacqueline's.
I made a, uh, black garlic, lemongrass, and lemon zest rub.
The lemongrass makes it fragrant.
The point goes to both of you.
Great job.
(Announcer) And the men are still up by one.
Hanger steak.
(Announcer) Now, Ja'nel is hoping that her dish I did an Argentine chimichurri with orange.
Wow.
That's delicious.
(Announcer) Can take Barret's I rubbed it with some black garlic.
(Announcer) And tie up the score.
Temperature? Over.
I just can't believe you've overcooked the steak.
Point goes to Ja'nel.
Well done.
Thank you.
[Applause.]
(Ja'nel) Chef Ramsay gives me the point.
(Gordon) Great job, by the way.
Thank you, chef.
Yeah.
Uh, red team, blue team, And it's all down to the rib-eye.
Let's go.
The butcher and the senior.
Come on, Ray.
Ray's been doing this for a lot longer than most of us have been alive, so hopefully, he gets us this point so we can win.
I have a sauce that's made with grand marnier.
It's not the kind of thing you see often with a rib-eye.
Slightly overdone.
[Bleep.]
.
Grand marnier is nice.
I'm amazed that works.
Thank you, chef.
Okay, Mary, let's go.
I did a blackberry vanilla sauce.
Wow, it's done beautifully, medium rare.
Thank you, chef.
Really good, indeed.
Good job, Mary.
(Gordon) It's a good dish, but there's a lot of blackberry in there.
[Exhales.]
The question is, is Ray's better? Tough decision here.
One's slightly too sweet, and one's slightly overdone.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, Uncle Ray.
Bring this home for the blue team.
The point goes to [Cow moos.]
(Announcer) The score is tied in the steak challenge.
Tough decision here.
One's slightly too sweet, and one's slightly overdone.
(Announcer) And it all comes down to Ray and Mary and their rib-eyes.
The point goes to Come on.
Give it to Mary.
Congratulations, red team.
Yes! [Cheering.]
Thank you, chef.
I win the point for my team.
And I beat Ray, which is the best.
Ray, had you made your protein medium rare like I requested, you would have nailed it.
Such a shame.
(Anthony) Thanks to Ray, we lost again.
[Bleep.]
! This is so disappointing.
Ladies, congratulations.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you, chef.
(Gordon) I thought I'd treat you to something truly special.
You'll be spending your day by the pool.
Yay! Yay! You'll have the most amazing Oh, wow! Oh, my God.
By the way, I've organized the most amazing manicures, pedicures [Cheering.]
Thank you, chef.
Thank you.
I love you so much right now.
Hurry up.
Go! Go, go, go! (Gordon) Well done, ladies.
Thank you, chef.
Thank you, chef.
Whoo! Red team! Yes! Again! I'm so happy! We're on a hot streak now! Challenge, dinner service challenge.
This is amazing.
Boom boom with the hoo-ha.
Blue team, tonight is steak night, and I am only serving the freshest meat available, so a special side of beef will be delivered.
It's definitely a six-man job.
You'll need to break it down and then prep each and every station.
Your side of beef awaits you.
Piss off.
Losing challenges is [bleep.]
demoralizing.
[Back-up beeps.]
Everybody's nerves are a little frayed, and everybody's just on edge right now.
Ooh, that's a big bitch.
(Barret) Another day in hell for the blue team.
Another day in hell.
It looks like a half a cow to me.
(Ray) My biggest fear is lifting the thing, never mind butchering it.
I'll [bleep.]
drag it if I have to.
One, two, three.
All right.
We need to go down real quick.
Where's my step at? Holy [bleep.]
, this bitch is heavy.
Hey, guys! Look at that cow! Moo! It would be terrible to have to hack up a cow on a beautiful day like this, but I'm not gonna lie.
Hacking up a cow sounds like fun too.
[Laughter.]
That is a very expensive steak you're carrying.
Ladies, enjoy your rooftop pool.
You know, I hope you fall off.
(Announcer) While the men try to get a handle on their huge side of beef [Groans.]
You all right, dude? (Announcer) The women are excited We're number one! We're number one! (Announcer) For their relaxing day by the pool.
Oh! [Overlapping chatter.]
This is the perfect reward an exclusive L.
A.
hotspot.
Excuse me.
Just fanning myself.
Right now, we just own the rooftop.
Look at the view, seriously.
That view, all the way around.
I've never seen L.
A.
like this before.
The boys are really missing out.
This is definitely the life for me.
I'm enjoying every bit of it.
To all of our steaks being cooked perfectly! Yeah! [Cheering.]
Yeah, what do you think the guys are doing? Still cutting up that beef? Moo-hoo! Uh, just start here, trimming it.
Just start cutting it away.
(Zach) I don't know what's going on.
This is this is, what? The flank? We're all just kind of staring at it, like, uh I know the meat comes from somewhere.
(Ray) I used to work in a slaughterhouse, and I'd cut on this side, I'd cut on this side, cut here.
The cow's gonna tell you where it wants to be separated.
Well, he ain't telling me [bleep.]
right now.
I'm a good listener, but, uh, that cow's not saying, "Hey, cut me here" or "Cut me there," no.
You have to listen to what it's saying to you, man.
He he's [bleep.]
dead.
(Announcer) While the men are busy butchering beef [Women laughing.]
The women Yep, this is what it's all about.
(Announcer) Are busy being pampered poolside.
Ooh.
That's real Hollywood.
We want to get pedicures.
[Laughs.]
When chef says "VIP," he means VIP.
He means VIP for sure.
Nedra definitely needs a pedicure.
Her feet are gnarly.
I am going to do a little mixing and matching.
(Jacqueline) Her feet were dirty as hell.
It looked like she'd been walking through the desert for 1,000 years.
How sexy is this? Are you ready to go back? The only reason why I want to go back is so we can win dinner service and make the boys feel bad again.
[Laughter.]
[Sighs.]
[Bleep.]
.
This is no joke, man.
[Sighs.]
Welcome home! What'd you guys do with the cow? Mooo! (Zach) Here we go again.
The girls are getting very cocky.
No, thank you.
Do you guys need to cool off? Facial mist? I want to whup their asses.
Hey, guys, why don't you take five? Go to your patio.
Do whatever you gotta do.
Regroup before dinner service and just get your heads straight.
Another stupid mistake on my part.
I don't think I could get any more tired of losing, and today, we know why we lost.
Barret, Michael, and Ray couldn't keep up with the rest of us.
It's time to say something.
We can't keep doing this, "We lost as a team, we're gonna work better.
" All three of you, you know you [bleep.]
the team over on this challenge, right? Of course I do.
They all better be working twice as hard as everybody else today.
This is the second time in a row, chef Mike.
(Michael) You know, maybe it's what I need to hear to get me out of this slump.
I'm just [bleep.]
choking.
We gotta start getting the weak people off our [bleep.]
team.
I just need to gain the team's confidence back, because if I can't cut it tonight, it's over.
Aren't you guys tired of losing? Yeah.
I heard that [bleep.]
.
Barret, it's only gonna get harder.
I know I [bleep.]
up.
You don't need to keep repeating it.
[Laughter.]
They all want to do nothin' but work all day.
[Groans.]
They don't want to play.
They don't want to go on jet rides.
They don't want to go in limousines.
Hey, Zach, Zach, Zach.
No, that's how the [bleep.]
it's starting to look.
Zach, enough.
Come on now.
Enough.
Un-[bleep.]
-believable.
I did not [bleep.]
do it on purpose.
Enough is [bleep.]
enough now.
Guys, why you keep losing? Zach, Zach, Zach.
Shut your [bleep.]
mouth right now.
Hey, hey! (Announcer) After an exhausting punishment, the blue team tries to regroup before dinner service.
Aren't you guys tired of losing? Zach, enough.
Come on now.
Enough.
(Announcer) But it seems more like they're They all want to do nothin' but work all day.
Enough is [bleep.]
enough now.
(Announcer) Falling apart.
Guys, why you keep losing? Zach, Zach, Zach.
Shut your [bleep.]
mouth right now.
I'm my worst critic, okay? You can't beat me up more than I can beat me up.
You know, I really feel the pain of being a [bleep.]
loser, but you gotta keep going.
You can't let that beat you down.
Nothing you can do about it now.
It's already eating me up.
I am gonna make sure that tonight we do what we're supposed to do.
Let's go.
(Announcer) It's steak night in Hell's Kitchen.
Ready, chef Mike? I want to [bleep.]
redeem myself.
(Announcer) And after losing another challenge, the men are eager to bounce back.
I've got an amazing feeling about tonight.
(Announcer) But over in the red kitchen, one chef How are you feeling? You need to rush.
I don't like the blue.
(Announcer) Is nervous about tonight's dinner service.
I'm not comfortable with steak temperatures.
Jacqueline is a strong chef, and she has a lot of knowledge, so I'm gonna let her drive the station.
[Bleep.]
.
Ladies, let's go.
Yes, chef.
Line up.
Let's go, gents.

I want you in the dining room.
Blue team Zach, it's yours.
Fine.
I need both kitchens to be in sync.
(Both teams) Yes, chef.
What do we need to be? In sync! In sync! And I'm not talking about the [bleep.]

Two rib-eye, one porterhouse, one prime rib.
Yes, chef! Yes, chef! Me and Amanda are on the meat station this evening.
We have all the pressure on us.
First order, I'm ready to go.
We're waiting for Susan.
I don't want chef Ramsay riding on me tonight.
I don't want Amanda second-guessing herself.
Get it right, guys.
Get the timing right.
Let's go, guys.
Walking to the table.
Let's go.
Prime rib, Susan.
Let's go.
She's going to the table.
Wake up.
Who's having the, uh, prime rib? Hey, pedicure, manicure, how long? We're waiting for Susan.
No.
[Bleep.]
you.
She's slicing the prime rib and you just stopped the whole [bleep.]
kitchen.
All of you! Susan! Yes, chef! Come here, you! I know everyone keeps saying Jacqueline's this amazing chef, she's so strong.
Yes, chef.
You just stopped sending entrees.
Did you tell her to stop? No.
Oh, really? (Susan) But if you can't perform when the lights turn on, then it's worthless.
We're now stopping serving meat that we're dying for.
Have you ever of anything so [bleep.]
stupid? No.
Unless you give me your best, go home! Over! (Announcer) It's over an hour into dinner service, and diners on the red side are wondering where their entrees are.
I'm hungry.
I'm definitely hungry.
(Announcer) And in the kitchen, chef Ramsay is wondering the same thing.
We're now stopping serving meat that we're dying for.
Have you ever of anything so [bleep.]
stupid? No.
Unless you give me your best, go home! Over! Yes, chef.
(Gordon) Get it together.
Have a little meeting.
I know what table was next.
Okay.
If I need to rush, I can rush.
Hurry up! Yes, chef! Go, guys.
Keep it up.
Porterhouse ready in two minutes, chef.
Oh, yeah.
They actually just stopped cooking.
I don't know why, but they did.
Walking.
Walking.
(Announcer) With Jacqueline back to cooking, steak dishes are now flowing out of the kitchen.
Enjoy everything.
Enjoy.
(Announcer) Diners Mmm! Melts in your mouth.
(Announcer) Are satisfied.
And back in the blue kitchen Entree, two filet, one New York, one prime rib.
Yes, chef! Yes, chef! (Announcer) Chef Ramsay is looking to Ray and Michael to deliver on the meat station.
Let's go, Ray.
I want to hear you.
Hey, hello! No more senior moments tonight.
No, chef.
Ray! Do you understand? Yes, chef.
I think he likes me, to be honest with you.
(Gordon) Ray, I'm done.
I understand, chef.
We're almost the [bleep.]
same age.
Ray, watch those steaks! (Ray) I think he likes breaking my [bleep.]
.
Let's go.
Ray, hurry up.
All right.
Come on.
Some speed now! I'm going with meat.
Come on, come on, please.
Rib-eye, two filet, chef.
Sauces.
(Michael) Ray and I need a perfect batting average tonight.
We can't have a single problem or it's gonna be trouble.
Give me a knife, please.
That is [bleep.]
raw.
[Bleep.]
off.
Hey, raw New York.
Aw, [bleep.]
me.
Oh, my God.
We just can't catch a break.
Come here, you.
Just [bleep.]
come here.
Who cooked it? I cooked it.
Answer! I did, chef.
I cooked it.
I'll take I-I did it, chef.
This is where it's going so [bleep.]
badly.
Yes, chef.
Not even rendered in there.
I understand, chef.
Two of you on the same section! Do we have any fight left? [Overlapping chatter.]
If you need to switch, switch.
I'm gonna cook.
I'm gonna cook.
Ray, Michael, pull your heads out of your [bleep.]
and cook the [bleep.]
meat.
Dude, do [bleep.]
New York strip, okay? I got it on.
(Ray) Don't rush the steaks.
Ray, please stop talking.
Let me [bleep.]
cook the meat.
I got it.
How long for that New York strip? Oh, [bleep.]
.
Take the table back.
Oh, [bleep.]
me.
Ray.
Yeah? Yeah, [bleep.]
off.
Take that.
Take it.
It's a [bleep.]
joke.
(Anthony) The meat station, we're drowning here, and you're the weight wrapped around our ankle.
Come on.
One half, I can live with.
I can go out there and kiss their ass.
Right, chef.
(Gordon) I mean, for God's sake! (Announcer) While the blue team re-fires an entire table, chef Ramsay looks to the red team for Two filet, one bass, two prime rib.
Bass if good if you're ready for the two filet, one bass.
Where's the two filet at? In the oven? Did you hear me? Amanda and Jacqueline.
How long? Four minutes, chef.
Waiting on bass.
Oh, my God.
Waiting on bass.
This one is ready.
If they're ready to go, I'll take this one.
[Overlapping shouting.]
I told them, chef.
Meat is totally screwing me right now.
Did she tell you that? No, chef.
Aah! Are you kidding me right now? Amanda, just say that you made a mistake.
Like, man up.
Why have you stopped talking to each other? Give us one minute! Let's go, then! Let's go! Walk up the filets! Ladies, are you ready? Yeah.
Ready, ready! Two filets.
Raw, raw, [bleep.]
raw.
Aw, [bleep.]
now.
[Bleep.]
my life.
(Gordon) Raw filet.
The easiest to cook.
The most glamorous, the most in demand.
Cold and raw.
(Amanda) Jacqueline says they're good, I trust her, and they're raw.
(Gordon) Raw in the middle! Hey, Amanda.
Yes, chef.
It's not Sushi night, it's steak night! Yes, chef! (Jacqueline) Amanda doesn't know how to temp meat, so me putting trust in people obviously is the wrong thing to do.
It won't ever happen again.
[Dish crashes.]
Do we have another one? Yes, I have another one.
Oh, [bleep.]
me.
Filet! Yes, chef! Oh, my God! You gotta sear the filets on all sides! I know! You gotta sear the thing on all sides! I did! So why they why they raw? I don't understand how [bleep.]
hard it is to cook steaks.
[Pan clatters.]
That's the easiest [bleep.]
thing you could ever cook.
One filet! I'm checking the steak, chef.
(Nedra) Now chef is chewing our ass up, so I need a time on the re-cook.
I said one minute.
(Gordon) Hey, can you explain to the three blind mice, three different ladies cooking the same steak is a recipe for danger.
Yes, chef.
Good.
Hot.
Coming around.
Sorry, chef.
Hot.
It's raw there.
Now they're taking a piss.
[Pounding.]
What is it, for the second [bleep.]
time? It's [bleep.]
raw, chef.
That's right.
It's [bleep.]
raw! I have two more in the oven.
You, you, you, you, [bleep.]
off, all four of you! Get out! Get out! (Announcer) It's steak night in Hell's Kitchen, and after an exhausting evening of numerous mistakes on appetizers Um, I found a hair in my food.
(Announcer) And entrees What is it, for the second [bleep.]
time? It's [bleep.]
raw, chef.
That's right.
It's [bleep.]
raw! (Announcer) Chef Ramsay has decided that less You, you, you, you, [bleep.]
off, all four of you! Get out! Get out! (Announcer) Is more.
(Cyndi) What the [bleep.]
am I getting kicked out for? Chef, are you [bleep.]
kidding me right now? You're kicking me out because Jacqueline and Amanda can't cook a [bleep.]
filet? I'm mad like a [bleep.]
! I am so mad right now! Oh! [Bleep.]
.
(Announcer) And with more than half of the red team kicked out of the kitchen Ja'nel, finish the meat.
Yes, chef.
(Announcer) It's up to Ja'nel You, help her! Yes, chef! (Announcer) Mary Susan.
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
I need you in the kitchen.
You continue slicing the prime rib.
Go.
(Announcer) And Susan to finish dinner service.
Get on the [bleep.]
garnish, fish, meat, and cook, okay? Yes, chef.
(Announcer) While the three remaining women unite to get the job done I've got two filet up top.
Okay.
(Announcer) Upstairs, the rest of the team Amanda, what are you doing? (Announcer) Is clearly divided.
I [bleep.]
up today, I just got us kicked out of service, so I'm just trying to be a realist.
I'm feeling like a [bleep.]
piece of [bleep.]
.
I [bleep.]
up tonight.
Who was the supporter? Who was the driver? She was the supporter, I was the driver.
So, what the [bleep.]
! You let her fail! I refuse to be the fall guy for this.
I'm tired of [bleep.]
picking up people's [bleep.]
.
You gotta stop screaming, please.
I'm not screaming.
Yes, you are screaming.
Listen, you the driver.
You the driver.
What I'm trying to Hold on, hold on! No! I'm trying to get my I don't [bleep.]
care! Because you're [bleep.]
going on and on and on, and it's done, it's over with, so shut the [bleep.]
up! We need to fix the mistake! Seriously, Nedra, just shut the [bleep.]
up, because you know what, bitch? I'm not gonna [bleep.]
take it anymore! You [bleep.]
think you're [bleep.]
[I'm gonna fix mybleep.]
mistake! Shut the [bleep.]
up! You're still the [bleep.]
reason why we got [bleep.]
kicked out! And I admitted that! I admitted it! [Overlapping shouting.]
Shut the [bleep.]
up! We have to fix our [bleep.]
mistake! (Announcer) While Nedra and Amanda face off in the dorms, downstairs in the blue kitchen I don't want to [bleep.]
overcook 'em.
(Announcer) Michael and Ray hope their re-fired steak is ready.
Here.
Let 'em rest on the rack? All right, buddy, number two.
We gotta get this right.
Michael, are you sure you're confident with those? Check 'em.
All right, I'm going on the strip.
Here.
Chef.
(Ray) These steaks need to be perfect.
If they're not, we're done.
[Sighs.]
Go.
(Announcer) Now that the New York strips have met chef Ramsay's standards How are they? Perfect.
(Announcer) And made their way to grateful diners That's good.
(Announcer) Both the red team Last table, two hanger, one filet, one prime rib, yes? Coming, chef.
Hot pan.
(Gordon) Go.
(Announcer) And the blue team Checkin' the hanger.
Look at that, like a team.
Up at the pass, all together.
Good job, guys.
(Announcer) Finally finish dinner service.
Uh, Susan, run upstairs and get the, uh, girls, please, quickly.
Let's go.
Stoves off.
It wasn't the best start, but we finished strong.
Finally, a decent service.
You won, but I don't want you getting over-excited.
Absolutely, chef.
Yes, chef.
Build on this.
(Anthony) This wasn't a perfect service, but, I mean, hey, look, we won.
Now we don't have to send someone home.
First of all, it's no big surprise, but you lost.
I was afraid of all the success going to your heads.
Well, it came crashing down tonight.
Get upstairs, nominate two of the weakest individuals, and [bleep.]
hurry up.
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
Who the hell do we put up? It's the obvious choice.
The two people who [bleep.]
tonight.
The two people who got us kicked out of the kitchen.
They going up tonight.
[Bleep.]
them.
So, wh why did y'all get kicked out? We got kicked out because the filet kept coming up raw.
Definitely putting Amanda up for elimination.
How are you a chef and you're not comfortable doing meat temperatures? That's a huge, crucial [bleep.]
part.
Jacqueline, I feel like every time you're driving on any station, you take the back seat and you don't drive.
It was the filet.
That was the whole mistake right there.
I can only do so much as a single person, and all I asked Amanda to do is a filet.
I mean, I didn't think that was a hard, complicated thing.
Jacqueline shouldn't have to be the one to babysit me, so don't blame Jacqueline because she's the driver that she should have held the station down.
I'm the one who [bleep.]
up the filet.
Stop blaming Jacqueline.
I am not the weakest chef, and I do not deserve to go home based on tonight's performance alone.
Mary, any word from you? I think, you know, you had some issues too.
Dude, the hair in the burger? Mary put up a plate tonight with hair on it.
By my opinion, really disgusting mistake.
Mary has to share the blame a little bit.
Whatever.
I re-fired it.
I can't go home tonight.
I made mistakes, yes, but I was not the worst.
Who's going up? [Dramatic music.]
Tonight, meat was the main attraction, but in the red kitchen, it was like a [bleep.]
freak show.
I mean, just embarrassing.
Have you reached a decision? (All) Yes, chef.
Cyndi, first nominee.
Our first nominee, chef, is Amanda.
Amanda was cooking the filets, and that seemed to be where we were having the main issue.
"Seemed to be"? An understatement.
Second nominee.
Our second nominee is (Announcer) After making a nightmare of Hell's Kitchen's annual steak night It was like a [bleep.]
freak show.
(Announcer) The women lost and had to nominate two chefs for elimination.
Their first choice was Amanda.
Second nominee, and why.
Our second nominee is Jacqueline, chef.
Jacqueline was supposed to be the driver on the meat station, and obviously wasn't communicating with her partner.
Driver? She drove right into an accident.
Yeah.
Amanda, Jacqueline, step forward, please.
Jacqueline, that was your worst performance so far in Hell's Kitchen.
Why do you think you should stay? (Jacqueline) I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I think that I'm better than Amanda.
I stay calm, cool, and collected.
I can temp meat, chef.
You know the steaks were raw, yet you still sit there.
Amanda, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I'm so passionate about this, chef.
And up until tonight, I have been nothing but an asset to my team.
You disintegrated like a little mouse.
I promise, if you give me the chance, I will speak up, chef.
I failed you tonight on the meat station, chef, and I'm very sorry.
I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
I'm fighting for my life right now.
I don't know if I can wait for you any longer.
My decision is [Suspenseful music.]
Amanda Back in line.
Jacqueline, give me your jacket.
Your time is done in Hell's Kitchen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
(Jacqueline) I think chef Ramsay made a huge mistake.
I'm extremely proud of myself in everything that I do, and I don't need some guy that screams at me to tell me that I'm a good chef.
I'm gonna keep going on, and I'm gonna keep cooking, and it's what I want to do with my life, and I love it.
Ladies, I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend.
Leave me alone, guys.
Get out.
(Amanda) I survived by the skin of my teeth.
I'm definitely gonna show chef Ramsay that I am what he's looking for.
Trust me, tomorrow is gonna be a whole different story.
(Nedra) Amanda [bleep.]
up today.
She need to kick it in high gear.
I'm gonna be on her ass like white on rice.
She better be watching out, home girl.
This journey at Hell's Kitchen has been like a roller coaster, but, uh, I'm gonna make sure everybody keep their head in the game so we can keep winning.
(Gordon) Jacqueline talked a good game, but unfortunately for her, I need someone who can deliver.
(Announcer) Next time [Cheers and applause.]
Will one girl's biggest night become the chef's (Gordon) Taste that! Get in there! Get in, get in, get in! (Announcer) Biggest disaster? This [bleep.]
rib-eye has still got his horns on! What's happening? [Pounds.]
[Bleep.]
! (Announcer) And will one chef do anything Oh, God.
[Sighs.]
(Announcer) Even if it means a little sabotage Who's searing it? (Announcer) To stay in the game? She took over searing.
Nedra seared it.
Amanda is a [bleep.]
bitch.
This is an absolute joke! (Announcer) Will a young girl's dream Uh, chef, I can't hold them anymore.
(Announcer) Become her worst nightmare? This is not possible! It's extraordinary! We haven't even served yet! (Announcer) Find out next time on a special episode (Gordon) Yes, it was special, all right.
Especially painful.
(Announcer) Of Hell's Kitchen.
