Hell's Kitchen (2005) s12e03 Episode Script
18 Chefs Compete
Previously on Hell's Kitchen What is going on? After a high-octane wake-up Somebody's gonna die! The red team chose to bicker.
- Can you or can you not do oysters? - I can't shuck oysters.
Oh, my God.
Shucking oysters is really easy.
My grandma does that.
She's, like, 90.
And when it came time for the back-to-basics relay challenge You pretty much either know how to do this, - or you get the hell out of here.
- Let's go! The red team was slowed down by Bev and Kashia You've got to peel it first.
I got this, Chef.
Allowing the blue team, led by Gabriel and Ralph Ring the [Bleep.]
bell.
Delicious.
To win their first challenge.
Men, congratulations! And while the men celebrated in style in San Francisco, back in Hell's Kitchen I can't [Bleep.]
hear you.
Tensions between Nicole You got beef, Kashia? And Kashia If I had some, best believe it would be cooked by now.
Yeah, mumble, mumble, mumble.
Mumble, mumble, mumble.
Reached a boiling point.
- I'm gonna bring it back to her ass.
- Bring it.
At dinner service Simone, two risotto.
How long? Simone Simone was not in the building this evening.
And Nicole buried the red team early with their appetizers Nicole, where is the lobster? And were unable to dig themselves out of trouble.
You two, get out.
In the blue kitchen, Scott on the fish station I gotta walk on halibut.
And Gabriel on meat I can't send raw chicken.
Couldn't agree on timing.
I'm ready on halibut.
Don't walk with that yet.
Chicken takes longer to cook than fish, so why the [Bleep.]
would you drop the fish before it's time? All of you, come here! Raw halibut.
Delivering raw entree I got chicken here, Chef.
After raw entree.
It's pink! Raw chicken followed by raw chicken! And for a second straight service All of you, [Bleep.]
off out of here.
Both teams were kicked out of the kitchen.
Get out! While the men nominated - DeMarco.
- And Gabriel, Chef.
The women nominated - Simone.
- And Beth.
But Chef Ramsay thought there was someone more deserving.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is Nicole.
Good night.
[Bleep.]
.
Shocking Nicole and thus ending her dream of becoming a head chef and winning Hell's Kitchen.
And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Nicole is gone.
I'm so happy.
I wanted to put her up in the first place.
Chef Ramsay made the right decision.
This feels like a breath of fresh air.
The energy has passed.
That's all I've been trying to do, is cast away any negativity as much as possible.
Yeah, and Simone she needs to get back in the game.
Simone, you back.
That's fine.
Maybe it'll put some different things into perspective for her.
I don't know.
I personally don't care, 'cause I don't like her.
She just don't sit well with me.
I'm not even gonna lie.
I'm not here to prove anything to anybody except Chef Ramsay.
But if you stand in my way, I'll show you I'm not passive.
After a tense night in the dorms, the chefs are hoping for a relaxing night of sleep.
But as it is Hell's Kitchen, Chef Ramsay has other plans.
We were getting some good sleep.
And then all of a sudden, just this shrieking, irritating ugh.
We got overalls and boots out here.
Come on, guys.
Let's go! Ugh, it's so annoying.
You guys, grab a pig and get downstairs.
I'm a little scared to go outside with the little pigs.
I hope we don't have to catch them and then prepare them.
But they are delicious, especially with that crispy skin.
Morning.
Wow.
Oh, man.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Right, let's get those pigs in the pen, please.
I'm thinking slaughter.
Like, I'm straight killing something today.
I'm ready.
Now, we all know that on any plate, the protein is the star, yes? Yes, Chef.
Listen carefully.
You may have the most amazing, freshest protein in that pen.
But sometimes, there's a side dish that really steals the show.
So today you're gonna be tested, as you work with one of my favorite ingredients The potato.
Like, what? This is where going to get your potatoes.
You'll need to avoid the animals and dig deep for your beautiful, underappreciated, buried potatoes.
I'm not down with the farm [Bleep.]
.
Like, that's not my kind of dirty.
In today's potato challenge, three chefs from each team will take turns digging up and collecting potatoes until one team reaches 100 pounds.
Are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Go! Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
First to 100 pounds wins.
Dude, it's over here.
- Jason, get over here! - Jason! Once I got in that pen, I didn't care what the hell was in my way, so I just keep shoving potatoes in.
Let's go, Jason.
Go, red team! Let's go! Let's go! When I got in there, I just started throwing those potatoes, dirt and all, in there, trying to move as quickly as I could.
Oh, yeah, baby.
I was just like, "we got to win.
" - Come on, Joy.
- I'm coming, I'm coming.
Get the potato.
Richard, right to the left.
To the left.
Aah! I didn't give a [Bleep.]
if there was an alligator in there.
I didn't give a [Bleep.]
if there was snakes in there.
Let's go, guys.
I was just focusing on the ground and grabbing those potatoes.
Come on, ladies! We have 50.
We're halfway there! Come on, guys! We need 30 pounds! - Dig, dig! - Dig, dig! The red team, they're such prima donnas.
Let's go, red.
Let's go, Sandra.
Stop acting like females.
Find some balls.
Come on! We need 10 pounds, ladies, just bring it.
- Go! - No, we got it! Get in there! Come on! Come on! Come on! Get out! Go, go! Guys, come on out! Come on.
Girl, come on.
Yes.
Well done, blue team! Blue team, you have won - Nothing.
- [Bleep.]
.
Come on, guys.
Ugh.
Meet me back in the kitchen - for part two of the challenge.
- Yes.
Part two will decide the winners.
Yes, Chef.
I thought we won the challenge.
I thought that Chef Ramsay was about to say we're about to take another trip Azul! But it was not that [Bleep.]
easy, man.
Line up.
Let's go.
I am so excited.
For your next challenge, I want to see nine individual, highly creative potato dishes from each team.
Clear? Yes, Chef.
You've got 40 minutes.
Your time starts Now.
Let's go.
Let's go, move, move, move, move.
Nice and organized, guys.
Chef Ramsay is using this potato challenge as an early test of the chefs' creativity.
I'm gonna do a nice potato salad, guys.
It may be a team challenge, but he's looking to see which chefs will stand out.
Scott, what are you doing? Doing a potato souffle, Chef.
- Is that wise, a souffle? - Yes, Chef.
You know, I want to do something different and take a little bit of a risk.
Good.
Let's go, guys.
Souffles are scary things, man.
- Joy, what are you doing? - Kind of, like, a twist on a pierogi with some crispy pancetta and some sauteed onions.
Mm-hmm.
Nice.
- Pepper, guys, anybody? - I got some right here.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Whose onions are these? - Mine, Chef.
- Come on, let's go.
Be careful.
Come on, Mike.
Yes, Chef.
Just over 25 minutes to go, come on.
Let's go.
I thought it was just a potato challenge.
I made it, like, really super simple.
Okay.
I see Simone leaving her dish in the oven.
And there's basically 25 minutes left on the clock.
And she's running around that kitchen, goofing around.
I'm trying to get out of her way.
It's like she doesn't even care.
So dark and firm.
There are really weird people in the world, and Simone happens to be one of them.
Oh, my God, I can't wait to put it in my mouth! - Last two minutes, guys.
- Yes, Chef.
Oh, where's my [Bleep.]
rosemary that was there? Come on.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it! My dish is perfect.
It's deep.
It's flavorful.
It's got body.
Chef Ramsay is gonna love it.
Ten seconds to go.
Ten seconds.
On the pass.
Let's go.
- Five, four, three, two - Behind you.
One, and plate.
Here's the thing I'm only going to be tasting five potato dishes from each team.
Decide amongst yourselves who has the five best dishes.
Hurry up.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Who is not happy with their dish? I think mine is amazing.
It's horrible.
Why are you putting it up if you know it sucks? It's not gonna happen.
I think mine will win the challenge.
I know in my heart that I'm capable.
I just feel like I'm in another world sometimes.
- Here.
Put yours up.
- What do you guys feel like? We're gonna do this one for sure.
- I think the potato salad - Then put it up.
All right, guys.
Dude, the boulangere I made my boulangere.
As long as we got that seasoning on let's go with Mike's boulangere.
- Yeah, yeah, yes, yes.
- Thank you, guys.
Dude, I'm really not happy about it.
Blue team, are we ready? Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
I was annoyed.
Like, seriously? You guys didn't pick my dish? Blue team, which five chefs' potato dishes am I tasting? Ralph, Mike, myself, Scott, and Jason.
Okay.
Right.
Jessica, which five dishes am I gonna be tasting? You're gonna be tasting Sandra's, Melanie's, myself, Bev's, and Joy's.
Okay, right.
Let's start off with Jessica and Richard.
Let's go, bring your dishes up, please.
Let's go.
- All right.
- Go, Jessica.
As Chef Ramsay tastes each dish, he will score it out of five points.
The team that accumulates the most points wins the challenge.
Okay, Jessica.
Let's go.
What is that? It is a orange, maple, and bacon glazed sweet potato succotash.
Wow.
You know, it's fragrant, really delicious.
That dish, for me, out of five points, that is definitely a four.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Chef.
Good start.
Good job, Jess.
Uh, Rich.
Wow.
I have for you an Irish colcannon with crab meat, a little butter, and mascarpone cheese.
Potatoes are smooth, crab folded through.
Wonderful.
Um, out of five, that dish Is a four.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
Yes! Two very good dishes.
This is great.
The old guy's got something, and he's here to play.
I'm getting encouraged by this.
I love this.
With both teams off to a strong start, Sandra's pancetta sofrito It looks a mess but actually tastes delicious.
Goes up against Ralph's upscale potato salad.
It's far too garlicky, but presentation beautiful.
Thank you, Chef.
And both dishes score three points.
Good job, Sandra.
Good job, Ralphie.
With the teams tied, it's Bev's potato hash I'm not too sure if it's a egg dish or a potato dish.
That is a two out of five.
Versus Jason's potato gratin.
Out of five, a very confident four.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Really good job.
With the red team down by two, up next is Melanie and Mike, please.
Let's go.
Melanie hopes to tighten the gap with her Herb gnocchi with a wild mushroom gravy.
That dish deserves a four.
- Really good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- All right.
- Yeah! And now Mike is looking to regain the lead with his - Yukon gold boulangere - Mm-hmm.
With some caramelized onions and rosemary.
I mean, it's just absolutely macerated in rosemary.
Blue team, did you taste that before you decided to put that in your top five? No, Chef.
Oh, God.
That dish one out of five.
Mike can't cook.
He's poison.
My dish was much, much better.
Women, you're in the lead, 13 to 12.
Our last two, Joy and Scott, let's go, please.
I'm always looking for a five out of five.
But anything positive out of Chef Ramsay's mouth, I'll take it.
Scott, let's start off with yours.
It's a potato souffle with a bechamel with a little jarlsberg and fresh herbs.
Mm-hmm.
I have to commend you on having the balls to put a souffle out there.
The seasoning is delicious.
Thank you, Chef.
Really good job indeed.
That dish Is a four out of five.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
Yes! Really well done.
- Good job, Scott.
- It's not over yet.
I'm really nervous.
Just going last, you feel like all eyes are on you.
And I'm hoping and I'm praying for Chef to be pleased with the dish.
Joy.
Chef, for you I have a play on a pierogi.
Mm-hmm.
The filling is just a basic russet potato seasoned with salt and pepper.
And I finished it with a pinch of thyme.
Um, seasoning, proper.
The balance is nice, 'cause you can identify the hero, being the potato.
Yes, Chef.
Okay, it's three to tie and four to win.
Out of five, that dish Joy, it's three to tie and four to win.
That dish Is a five out of five.
Thank you, Chef.
I feel so good now.
After a rough start here, Chef finally got to see that I deserve to be here.
I'm so happy.
Ladies, congratulations, you're in for a treat.
For winning today's challenge, you are gonna get to see Southern California's beautiful coastline on an 80-foot, stunning sailboat.
Red team won, we're going on a yacht Red team won, and blue team sucks Hurry up and get changed.
Let's go.
Well done.
I'm so excited.
I've never seen the pacific ocean before.
Come on, y'all.
Let's go get pretty.
I want to feel like a girl again! Blue team, the sort of disruption and the mess you made of those beautiful farm animals out there whilst digging for those potatoes, it's now your responsibility to clean them.
Clear? Yes, Chef.
Now [Bleep.]
off.
Yes, Chef.
Mike's dish was just horrible.
He definitely [Bleep.]
up big-time.
And the guys decided to pick the weakest link.
Now we have to clean [Bleep.]
all day.
Come here.
Come here, you little bastard.
Come here, you little [Bleep.]
, time for a bath.
You got him.
You got him.
Got it? [Bleep.]
'em.
Leave 'em dirty.
I don't like wasting time washing myself, but if it wasn't for the fact that I'd smell like ass You know? Aw, this one's cute.
I'm gonna eat you.
Let's go, little buddy.
Come here, pal.
I got his ass.
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, don't stand too close behind.
- Stay in front of the hoof.
- Right here.
Aah! It splashed back in my mouth.
The men's punishment has left a bad taste in Jason's mouth.
But for the women, it's all sunshine and ocean breezes.
Ladies, welcome on board.
I have never been on a sailboat before.
I've been in a one-person kayak and a canoe.
- Let's have a toast, yeah? - Cheers.
Cheers to the red team! - To the red team.
- To the winners.
Who wants to hoist the Hell's Kitchen flag? Simone? You sure? Yeah, you're passing? Like, for real, Simone? Instead of getting on board with everybody else, you wanted to be Debbie downer.
Move.
Get out the way.
I'll do it myself.
Us winning today is monumental and well deserved.
Dolphin, there's one! Those are wild [Bleep.]
animals.
Wild animals, right there.
For that brief time, with the wind in my hair and the sun and dolphins and beautiful water, it was just incredible.
With a phenomenal reward and a miserable punishment behind them, the teams get ready for a new day Morning, Chef.
Prepping their kitchens for tonight's dinner service.
Let's get it cracking.
However, in the red kitchen, Rochelle is feeling a little under the weather.
This morning when I woke up, oh, my gosh, I felt horrible.
I'm getting sicker and sicker.
Like, I'm not even able to focus.
While Rochelle might be out of commission She's got bronchitis, man.
There is another chef who is feeling kind of weak.
Joy, I feel like I'm gonna fall over.
I don't know where I am.
I can't think straight.
It feels like the twilight zone.
Rochelle is probably fine, but I'm not running on much energy or sanity right now.
I don't think Simone is sick, 'cause she's trying to play.
I think it's just a fake, and it's pretty pathetic.
I'm, like, just really shaky and dizzy.
Okay, I think we need to get you some food.
There's nothing wrong with her ass, man.
Simone gotta go home tonight.
- How you doing? - Yeah, what's up? I have chills, and I'm still dizzy.
Rochelle she's actually sick.
I don't think I'm physically capable of service, 'cause I really feel like I'm gonna fall over.
Simone she's not sick.
She's giving up.
With Simone and Rochelle out of the kitchen and possibly dinner service, in the blue kitchen, it's all hands on deck.
Ugh.
Can I get a medic? I cut my [Bleep.]
finger.
Yo, how bad did you cut yourself? Uh, pretty good.
I [Bleep.]
Sliced my finger.
We might be down a guy 'cause DeMarco chopped his finger off.
What? The doors of Hell's Kitchen will open in just minutes.
But Rochelle's bronchitis And Simone's mystery illness may knock both of them out for dinner service.
And now DeMarco's hanging by a thread.
We might be down a guy 'cause DeMarco chopped his finger off.
What? Ugh.
I cut my [Bleep.]
finger.
What I want is, I want to get you to urgent care.
It hurts so [Bleep.]
bad.
Keep your hand up.
Yeah.
Keep that finger up, dude.
I don't give a [Bleep.]
if it's two knuckles down on my finger.
I'm wrapping that bitch up and driving on.
But, you know, some people can't handle it.
As the blue team is losing one member, the red team is getting one back.
- There's our girl, yay! - Yay.
All right.
Where are you guys at right now? Ladies, let's go.
Yes, Chef.
Where's Simone? With the medic.
- What? - The medic.
The medic? She's falsifying an illness, and she doesn't want to work.
Either an exorcist or a medic.
She's with the medic? You okay? It's really cold.
Can you come over, so I can have a chat with you? So - You okay? - I think I'm just dehydrated.
You're not drinking water? I have been.
I haven't had an appetite.
Can you at least put an effort - into service to support your team? - I hope so.
- You hope so.
- Yes.
If my team thinks that I'm just goofing off, they would be upset.
But I hope they know that I'm not feeling well.
Oh, she's back.
Are you good? So you're not sure? - What does this mean? - I don't know.
I'm worried about service tonight.
She's doing the crazy eyes.
I don't like crazy eyes.
It means there's something, eh, pazza.
Something's not right up here.
Let's go, ladies, yeah? Simone, you're with Jessica on fish.
Yes, Chef.
I'm really nervous working with [Bleep.]
Simone.
No.
- Just like that.
- Okay.
Let's go guys, yes? Jean-Philippe? - Chef? - Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
First table has arrived, you guys.
Once again, Hell's Kitchen is the place to be in Los Angeles.
Who's your money on, blue or red? Blue or red? Come on.
Both teams are eager and determined to complete their first dinner service.
I love you guys.
I love you too, man.
Everybody, find your inner zen.
In addition to the regular menu, Chef Ramsay has added a steak Diane special, which will be served tableside by Ralph for the blue team I will be preparing it right in front of you.
And by Kashia for the red team.
Steak Diane is done with a little cognac, a little cream.
It is very delicious, you guys.
Thank you.
Okay, ladies, here we go.
First ticket tonight.
Four covers, table 43.
Two salad, two risotto.
Yes, Chef.
All I want to do is please Chef.
I'm walking in one minute.
We're gonna finish service tonight.
I won't be standing, clenching my butt cheeks together with fear.
While Joy is focused on getting her appetizers off to a good start All right, we'll be walking at the same time.
Over in the blue kitchen, Anton is looking to get his first order of risotto to the window.
- Let's go.
- Lobster tail ready? - Yes, lobster ready.
- Bring it up.
Let's go! Follow me with the lobster.
It's coming, Chef.
Right here, Chef.
- Anton? - Yes, Chef? Come here, you.
Joy, come here, you.
Look at me, both of you.
That is perfection.
You perfected the risottos.
Now you keep the bar up there, okay? Yes, Chef.
God help you if you let it slip, both of you.
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
I rose to the occasion.
I did what most people can't.
Two risotto.
Let's go.
With Joy and Anton delivering on appetizers I like it.
Food is making its way quickly out to happy customers in the dining room.
Yeah, it's really good.
And back in the blue kitchen Two risotto, one tuna, one salad.
Where is it? Risotto is coming, Chef.
Give us give us one minute.
You got to go on scallops.
Mike is helping Chris keep track of the orders for the fish station.
- Not yet.
- He just went up with the risotto.
- What? - Yeah, he called one minute.
- No, not on this one.
- It's a [Bleep.]
risotto.
Now you're confusing me.
Please [Bleep.]
listen, 'cause now I'm getting confused.
Mike is an idiot.
Please, please, please, just listen, listen, listen.
I can't fix stupid.
While Chris and Mike try to work out their timing issues Don't be afraid to ask for help.
- You really think that's gonna happen? - Just saying, dude.
Over in the red kitchen, Joy Where's that lobster, ladies? Is waiting on Simone, follow me.
I'm walking with the risotto.
Risotto, Chef.
Hey, I've got one one lobster tail raw still.
Simone, listen to Chef! Yeah, oh, is that me? If I'm at Hell's Kitchen and a world-famous chef is yelling at me, I'm gonna yell back.
Either speak up, or get the [Bleep.]
out of here.
Simone, come get this damn lobster tail! - Come on, man.
- Why did you enter this competition? I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to right, and how about your performance? How about a little break a sweat? "I think it's a great opportunity, Chef.
" You think it's a great opportunity? You're not working like it.
Where's the push? Where's the drive? - Let's go.
The attitude over here - Yes, Chef.
Move, Simone! Look at the [Bleep.]
attitude of it.
She got to go home.
She got to go [Bleep.]
home.
She going home.
While Simone continues to dig herself an even deeper hole in the red kitchen, back on the blue side Hey! The men celebrate the return of DeMarco! - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Let's go! Hey, guys.
Hey, blue team.
We're celebrating like idiots, and the dining room's full of customers.
- Welcome back.
- Thank you, Chef.
- How is it? - It's good, bandaged up.
- Okay.
Bandaged up? - Yes, Chef.
- You, let's go.

As DeMarco gets up to speed on the meat station - Probably have you work chicken.
- Okay.
Square it off.
I need - three pieces out of that, okay? - All right.
Back in the red kitchen Some of them can be a little raw in there.
No! Simone and Jessica are doing their best to impress on the fish station.
- Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
Stop.
- Yes, Chef? But their best doesn't appear to be good enough.

As frustration turns to anger in the red kitchen, back on the blue side, Chef Ramsay has moved on to entrees Dude, that's way too [Bleep.]
hot.
Giving Chris and Mike a chance to put their communication skills into action.
No, no, no.
He doesn't want any help.

You know, Chris he had absolutely no help.
And Mike's standing around.

It's not ready.

- I don't get it.
I do not understand the stupidity in it.
I'm not sending one more [Bleep.]
table out unless it's complete.
I've refired the table.
Ugh.
DeMarco just couldn't get it together.
Chicken took forever, and it's very, very simple.
Damn it.
A V.
I.
P.
table.
While the blue team refires their entrees because of DeMarco's failure on the chicken One salmon's ready to walk.
Jessica and Simone hope that their salmon fares better than some of their earlier attempts at scallops.
Oh, man.
Raw salmon.
No way.
Look, raw.
Raw.
Not pink but raw.
Congratulations for being the worst two cooks ever to grace the fish station.
It's two hours into dinner service.
And even though Jessica and Simone have delivered raw salmon to Chef Ramsay Look, raw.
Simone has found some humor in that.
- It's funny now, right? - No.
All of you, come here.
We're just destroying ourselves! You two, [Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
- Melanie, on the fish.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Bev, on the fish.
- Yes, Chef.
I shouldn't have [Bleep.]
given Simone any responsibility.
Like, she's just clueless about the station.
And, like, she's never even seen it before.
Like, she's never even worked a dinner service.
Jess You know, I don't want to talk right now.
Okay.
Meanwhile, back in the blue kitchen - Are we good on halibut? - No way.
Issues of timing continue to plague the men.
No way.
One minute and it's walking to the window, sir.
Hold the oh, you can't hold the lamb.
Walking with the lamb.
- How is that possible? - What the hell? Scott never told me he was slicing the lamb.
I've got the lamb.
Where's the halibut? Halibut! Where's the halibut? Halibut's 2 1/2 minutes away, Chef.
- All right.
Hey, stop.
Stop.
- No one told me.
- It was going - Stop.
So the halibut is 2 1/2.
Come here, you.
- Yes, Chef.
- Hey, you.
Come here, you.
And why can't you talk to him? [Bleep.]
.
I want to know, Chris! - He never told me he was slicing the lamb.
- No - are we good on the halibut? - No way.
One minute and it's walking to the window, sir.
Come here, you.
What is this? No, Chef.
Damn it.
We're just shooting ourself in the foot.
Hey, hey, hey, all of you, [Bleep.]
off out of there.
[Bleep.]
.
Get out.
Get out! We didn't finish the service, not once, not twice, but the third [Bleep.]
time.
I mean, it's just [Bleep.]
embarrassing.
With the blue team getting another banishment from the kitchen, Chef Ramsay looks to what's left of the red team to complete their service.
Two halibut, one wellington.
Where is it? Walk, walk, walk.
Walk, walk, walking.
Walking.
Same time.
Wellington, Chef.
Two orders.
- Wellington cooked perfect.
- Thank you, Chef.
It just gets worse.
All of you, come here.
Yeah, just touch that one first.
It's overcooked.
That's overcooked, then touch that one.
- Undercooked.
- Yeah.
What are we [Bleep.]
doing to each other, to the red team? What are we doing? All of you, get out! Yes, Chef.
Tonight all my dishes come out.
Perfect.
This sucks.
This just flat-out sucks.
- Jean-Philippe, shut it down.
- Yeah.
Guys, get downstairs.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Stay there.
Stay there.
That was the most embarrassing service I've ever seen.
I have to cut some dead weight, and cut it fast.
I want three nominees from each team up for elimination.
Hurry up.
Well, we've got to start dropping dead weight.
And the ones of us who are fighting are the ones that are gonna be here.
All right, let's just yell out names, and everybody raise their hand.
I'm sorry, but, Simone, you're gonna be my first choice.
What's the majority? Just Simone? Let's just get it out of the way.
Anybody for Bev? I'm gonna go you.
Bev is dead weight anyway.
Buh-bye.
Good luck.
Don't let the door hit you where the lord split you.
Anybody for Rochelle? I wish I wasn't sick.
I hate this.
Rochelle she just can't put her 100%.
And we need 100% from everybody right now.
Anybody for Sandra? I don't know why my team is throwing me under the bus.
I mean, we've got an idiot.
We got a sick one.
We've got one that's sick in the head.
And I'm on point with [Bleep.]
everything.
I haven't [Bleep.]
up a dish yet.
- I haven't [Bleep.]
- Yes, you have.
Get the [Bleep.]
out of here.
I haven't [Bleep.]
nothing up.
[Bleep.]
that.
Some of it has to do with attitude.
Maybe that's what it is.
I don't know.
Like, I don't think it's all based on for my [Bleep.]
team 100 [Bleep.]
times a day.
With this, coming into it that's some team [Bleep.]
there.
Sorry.
You know, if you have to [Bleep.]
listen, please do.
- Nah, nah, nah, not right now.
- You never listen.
I haven't [Bleep.]
nothing up.
[Bleep.]
you, bitches.
Sorry, man.
I'm thinking DeMarco.
Yeah, me too.
Right from the get-go, DeMarco's a done [Bleep.]
.
I mean, you can see a good Chef and a [Bleep.]
chef from a mile away.
Gabriel? Based off tonight, I did good.
Chris did bad.
Mark my words I'm not dead weight, guys.
I guaran-[Bleep.]
-tee that.
I own everything and anything that I do in that kitchen.
I know I could've done better, but Mike, he's poison for the team.
Keep DeMarco, keep me, but get [Bleep.]
Mike out of here.
If I'm getting all the elements composed, you're seasoning my [Bleep.]
fish at this point.
And that's all you did for me tonight.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I gotta defend something.
Chris wanted to [Bleep.]
be the first guy to leave.
You know, it's not like one person just works and the other doesn't, you [Bleep.]
idiot.
If you don't see me do something you're my man.
You're listening to every [Bleep.]
order being called out, and you're watching what my hands are doing.
All right, the guy that's cooking is supposed to be cooking.
Both of you are responsible.
Yeah.
But if he's saying that he didn't do it right, you're his [Bleep.]
backbone.
He's frickin' sabotaging us, dude, he sucks so bad.
I think we should send Gabriel off, because he did just as much on hot apps as I did on [Bleep.]
fish.
- What? - Are you [Bleep.]
crazy? You stood there like a bitch, just standing there watching him.
That's right, I did.
Go back to the grocery store, [Bleep.]
! Go back to the grocery store and keep working there, - you little bitch! - [Bleep.]
dough boy bitch.
- Oh, look, so you're better than me, - Yeah.
you little [Bleep.]
.
Piece of [Bleep.]
.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Seriously, [Bleep.]
you, dude.
- [Bleep.]
Do something.
Do something.
- No! Don't hit him.
Go back to the grocery store, [Bleep.]
! After a horrific dinner service that got the entire blue team kicked out of the kitchen, the situation may be escalating from hurling insults Guys, no! To throwing punches.
- You got one shot.
- [Bleep.]
little bitch! One shot and you'll be dead before you even [Bleep.]
Register it in your little [Bleep.]
brain.
He's not worth it.
I know, exactly.
Dude, you can talk all the [Bleep.]
you want, bro.
- Guys, listen, listen.
- That's done.
That is done.
I'm lost for words.
Sandra, women's first nominee and why.
Simone, Chef.
She's pretty much given up.
- Second nominee.
- Rochelle, Chef.
She's very ill and is not recuperating, and it's getting worse.
Third nominee.
Myself, Chef.
So why did they put you up? I don't know, Chef.
We did this 'cause we really did.
It's the attitude.
Right, Jason, men's first nominee and why.
Mike, 'cause we feel that he is the weakest link by far amongst us all.
Second nominee and why.
DeMarco.
We think he might lack the passion and the drive that it takes to succeed.
Okay.
Third nominee and why.
Chris for his poor performance tonight on the fish station.
Six nominees that's a first.
My decision is DeMarco, Mike, Simone, give me your jackets.
Come here, you.
Stand over there.
All of you have now got ten seconds to give me one reason why you think you should stay.
- Simone.
- I came here because I wanted to compete.
I came here thinking that I would have the chance to grow and to learn from you because I respect you.
You, ten seconds.
Move.
Chef, I just want to cook.
I just want to get on a station and lead.
I have to admit, I'm not 100% confident.
My confidence isn't there, but it is now.
- It wasn't there - Time.
Ten seconds, you.
Chef, I came back to try to fight to run the station, to get my chance to run the fish station.
Chris wanted to try to dig himself out and couldn't.
It doesn't mean that I should go home, Chef.
It's just that simple.
My decision is It's okay, Chef.
I can go.
Simone, good night.
I'm normally really energetic and lively.
And since I haven't been feeling well, I think I've come across as very soft and not someone who can fight.
And even the biggest, most wonderful things sometimes don't turn out to be the best for you.
Mike, here's your jacket.
Back in line.
DeMarco, back in line.
Get out, guys.
How dare you put me up? Now I feel like they may have it in for me.
But I didn't come here to be B.
F.
F.
S.
From now on, I'm gonna focus on what I have to do.
Give me a [Bleep.]
break.
At least send Mike home.
You know, this is his last straw.
If he doesn't step up, he will be the next one out of here.
All of these [Bleep.]
can kiss my 300-pound ass.
These guys are gonna start throwing people under the bus.
Now it's game on.
Hell's Kitchen is about making someone's wish come true.
Simone wished to leave Hell's Kitchen.
That is an easy one.
Wish granted.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen The red team does not deserve to be breathing our air.
Fierce competition [Bleep.]
! The red team is getting stronger and stronger.
We're close! We're almost there! Turns to bitter rivalry.
I'm getting real pissed.
You know, it's just getting on my nerves.
Can still kick their ass.
I wanna just beat the crap out of them girls.
But when one chef's anger Useless, spineless dumb-ass.
Rages out of control Aah! Will anyone be safe from his fury? Damn, he's scary.
The girls are a little freaked out.
And when the women plot their revenge I'm walking.
I'm walking.
Get out of here! It leads to a shocking confrontation Don't push me with a knife.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
You'll have to see to believe Stop! Next time on an explosive [Bleep.]
start a fire here, you dumb little [Bleep.]
.
Hell's Kitchen.
- Can you or can you not do oysters? - I can't shuck oysters.
Oh, my God.
Shucking oysters is really easy.
My grandma does that.
She's, like, 90.
And when it came time for the back-to-basics relay challenge You pretty much either know how to do this, - or you get the hell out of here.
- Let's go! The red team was slowed down by Bev and Kashia You've got to peel it first.
I got this, Chef.
Allowing the blue team, led by Gabriel and Ralph Ring the [Bleep.]
bell.
Delicious.
To win their first challenge.
Men, congratulations! And while the men celebrated in style in San Francisco, back in Hell's Kitchen I can't [Bleep.]
hear you.
Tensions between Nicole You got beef, Kashia? And Kashia If I had some, best believe it would be cooked by now.
Yeah, mumble, mumble, mumble.
Mumble, mumble, mumble.
Reached a boiling point.
- I'm gonna bring it back to her ass.
- Bring it.
At dinner service Simone, two risotto.
How long? Simone Simone was not in the building this evening.
And Nicole buried the red team early with their appetizers Nicole, where is the lobster? And were unable to dig themselves out of trouble.
You two, get out.
In the blue kitchen, Scott on the fish station I gotta walk on halibut.
And Gabriel on meat I can't send raw chicken.
Couldn't agree on timing.
I'm ready on halibut.
Don't walk with that yet.
Chicken takes longer to cook than fish, so why the [Bleep.]
would you drop the fish before it's time? All of you, come here! Raw halibut.
Delivering raw entree I got chicken here, Chef.
After raw entree.
It's pink! Raw chicken followed by raw chicken! And for a second straight service All of you, [Bleep.]
off out of here.
Both teams were kicked out of the kitchen.
Get out! While the men nominated - DeMarco.
- And Gabriel, Chef.
The women nominated - Simone.
- And Beth.
But Chef Ramsay thought there was someone more deserving.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is Nicole.
Good night.
[Bleep.]
.
Shocking Nicole and thus ending her dream of becoming a head chef and winning Hell's Kitchen.
And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Nicole is gone.
I'm so happy.
I wanted to put her up in the first place.
Chef Ramsay made the right decision.
This feels like a breath of fresh air.
The energy has passed.
That's all I've been trying to do, is cast away any negativity as much as possible.
Yeah, and Simone she needs to get back in the game.
Simone, you back.
That's fine.
Maybe it'll put some different things into perspective for her.
I don't know.
I personally don't care, 'cause I don't like her.
She just don't sit well with me.
I'm not even gonna lie.
I'm not here to prove anything to anybody except Chef Ramsay.
But if you stand in my way, I'll show you I'm not passive.
After a tense night in the dorms, the chefs are hoping for a relaxing night of sleep.
But as it is Hell's Kitchen, Chef Ramsay has other plans.
We were getting some good sleep.
And then all of a sudden, just this shrieking, irritating ugh.
We got overalls and boots out here.
Come on, guys.
Let's go! Ugh, it's so annoying.
You guys, grab a pig and get downstairs.
I'm a little scared to go outside with the little pigs.
I hope we don't have to catch them and then prepare them.
But they are delicious, especially with that crispy skin.
Morning.
Wow.
Oh, man.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Right, let's get those pigs in the pen, please.
I'm thinking slaughter.
Like, I'm straight killing something today.
I'm ready.
Now, we all know that on any plate, the protein is the star, yes? Yes, Chef.
Listen carefully.
You may have the most amazing, freshest protein in that pen.
But sometimes, there's a side dish that really steals the show.
So today you're gonna be tested, as you work with one of my favorite ingredients The potato.
Like, what? This is where going to get your potatoes.
You'll need to avoid the animals and dig deep for your beautiful, underappreciated, buried potatoes.
I'm not down with the farm [Bleep.]
.
Like, that's not my kind of dirty.
In today's potato challenge, three chefs from each team will take turns digging up and collecting potatoes until one team reaches 100 pounds.
Are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Go! Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
First to 100 pounds wins.
Dude, it's over here.
- Jason, get over here! - Jason! Once I got in that pen, I didn't care what the hell was in my way, so I just keep shoving potatoes in.
Let's go, Jason.
Go, red team! Let's go! Let's go! When I got in there, I just started throwing those potatoes, dirt and all, in there, trying to move as quickly as I could.
Oh, yeah, baby.
I was just like, "we got to win.
" - Come on, Joy.
- I'm coming, I'm coming.
Get the potato.
Richard, right to the left.
To the left.
Aah! I didn't give a [Bleep.]
if there was an alligator in there.
I didn't give a [Bleep.]
if there was snakes in there.
Let's go, guys.
I was just focusing on the ground and grabbing those potatoes.
Come on, ladies! We have 50.
We're halfway there! Come on, guys! We need 30 pounds! - Dig, dig! - Dig, dig! The red team, they're such prima donnas.
Let's go, red.
Let's go, Sandra.
Stop acting like females.
Find some balls.
Come on! We need 10 pounds, ladies, just bring it.
- Go! - No, we got it! Get in there! Come on! Come on! Come on! Get out! Go, go! Guys, come on out! Come on.
Girl, come on.
Yes.
Well done, blue team! Blue team, you have won - Nothing.
- [Bleep.]
.
Come on, guys.
Ugh.
Meet me back in the kitchen - for part two of the challenge.
- Yes.
Part two will decide the winners.
Yes, Chef.
I thought we won the challenge.
I thought that Chef Ramsay was about to say we're about to take another trip Azul! But it was not that [Bleep.]
easy, man.
Line up.
Let's go.
I am so excited.
For your next challenge, I want to see nine individual, highly creative potato dishes from each team.
Clear? Yes, Chef.
You've got 40 minutes.
Your time starts Now.
Let's go.
Let's go, move, move, move, move.
Nice and organized, guys.
Chef Ramsay is using this potato challenge as an early test of the chefs' creativity.
I'm gonna do a nice potato salad, guys.
It may be a team challenge, but he's looking to see which chefs will stand out.
Scott, what are you doing? Doing a potato souffle, Chef.
- Is that wise, a souffle? - Yes, Chef.
You know, I want to do something different and take a little bit of a risk.
Good.
Let's go, guys.
Souffles are scary things, man.
- Joy, what are you doing? - Kind of, like, a twist on a pierogi with some crispy pancetta and some sauteed onions.
Mm-hmm.
Nice.
- Pepper, guys, anybody? - I got some right here.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Whose onions are these? - Mine, Chef.
- Come on, let's go.
Be careful.
Come on, Mike.
Yes, Chef.
Just over 25 minutes to go, come on.
Let's go.
I thought it was just a potato challenge.
I made it, like, really super simple.
Okay.
I see Simone leaving her dish in the oven.
And there's basically 25 minutes left on the clock.
And she's running around that kitchen, goofing around.
I'm trying to get out of her way.
It's like she doesn't even care.
So dark and firm.
There are really weird people in the world, and Simone happens to be one of them.
Oh, my God, I can't wait to put it in my mouth! - Last two minutes, guys.
- Yes, Chef.
Oh, where's my [Bleep.]
rosemary that was there? Come on.
We got it.
We got it.
We got it! My dish is perfect.
It's deep.
It's flavorful.
It's got body.
Chef Ramsay is gonna love it.
Ten seconds to go.
Ten seconds.
On the pass.
Let's go.
- Five, four, three, two - Behind you.
One, and plate.
Here's the thing I'm only going to be tasting five potato dishes from each team.
Decide amongst yourselves who has the five best dishes.
Hurry up.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Who is not happy with their dish? I think mine is amazing.
It's horrible.
Why are you putting it up if you know it sucks? It's not gonna happen.
I think mine will win the challenge.
I know in my heart that I'm capable.
I just feel like I'm in another world sometimes.
- Here.
Put yours up.
- What do you guys feel like? We're gonna do this one for sure.
- I think the potato salad - Then put it up.
All right, guys.
Dude, the boulangere I made my boulangere.
As long as we got that seasoning on let's go with Mike's boulangere.
- Yeah, yeah, yes, yes.
- Thank you, guys.
Dude, I'm really not happy about it.
Blue team, are we ready? Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
I was annoyed.
Like, seriously? You guys didn't pick my dish? Blue team, which five chefs' potato dishes am I tasting? Ralph, Mike, myself, Scott, and Jason.
Okay.
Right.
Jessica, which five dishes am I gonna be tasting? You're gonna be tasting Sandra's, Melanie's, myself, Bev's, and Joy's.
Okay, right.
Let's start off with Jessica and Richard.
Let's go, bring your dishes up, please.
Let's go.
- All right.
- Go, Jessica.
As Chef Ramsay tastes each dish, he will score it out of five points.
The team that accumulates the most points wins the challenge.
Okay, Jessica.
Let's go.
What is that? It is a orange, maple, and bacon glazed sweet potato succotash.
Wow.
You know, it's fragrant, really delicious.
That dish, for me, out of five points, that is definitely a four.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Chef.
Good start.
Good job, Jess.
Uh, Rich.
Wow.
I have for you an Irish colcannon with crab meat, a little butter, and mascarpone cheese.
Potatoes are smooth, crab folded through.
Wonderful.
Um, out of five, that dish Is a four.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
Yes! Two very good dishes.
This is great.
The old guy's got something, and he's here to play.
I'm getting encouraged by this.
I love this.
With both teams off to a strong start, Sandra's pancetta sofrito It looks a mess but actually tastes delicious.
Goes up against Ralph's upscale potato salad.
It's far too garlicky, but presentation beautiful.
Thank you, Chef.
And both dishes score three points.
Good job, Sandra.
Good job, Ralphie.
With the teams tied, it's Bev's potato hash I'm not too sure if it's a egg dish or a potato dish.
That is a two out of five.
Versus Jason's potato gratin.
Out of five, a very confident four.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Really good job.
With the red team down by two, up next is Melanie and Mike, please.
Let's go.
Melanie hopes to tighten the gap with her Herb gnocchi with a wild mushroom gravy.
That dish deserves a four.
- Really good job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- All right.
- Yeah! And now Mike is looking to regain the lead with his - Yukon gold boulangere - Mm-hmm.
With some caramelized onions and rosemary.
I mean, it's just absolutely macerated in rosemary.
Blue team, did you taste that before you decided to put that in your top five? No, Chef.
Oh, God.
That dish one out of five.
Mike can't cook.
He's poison.
My dish was much, much better.
Women, you're in the lead, 13 to 12.
Our last two, Joy and Scott, let's go, please.
I'm always looking for a five out of five.
But anything positive out of Chef Ramsay's mouth, I'll take it.
Scott, let's start off with yours.
It's a potato souffle with a bechamel with a little jarlsberg and fresh herbs.
Mm-hmm.
I have to commend you on having the balls to put a souffle out there.
The seasoning is delicious.
Thank you, Chef.
Really good job indeed.
That dish Is a four out of five.
Good job.
Thank you, Chef.
Yes! Really well done.
- Good job, Scott.
- It's not over yet.
I'm really nervous.
Just going last, you feel like all eyes are on you.
And I'm hoping and I'm praying for Chef to be pleased with the dish.
Joy.
Chef, for you I have a play on a pierogi.
Mm-hmm.
The filling is just a basic russet potato seasoned with salt and pepper.
And I finished it with a pinch of thyme.
Um, seasoning, proper.
The balance is nice, 'cause you can identify the hero, being the potato.
Yes, Chef.
Okay, it's three to tie and four to win.
Out of five, that dish Joy, it's three to tie and four to win.
That dish Is a five out of five.
Thank you, Chef.
I feel so good now.
After a rough start here, Chef finally got to see that I deserve to be here.
I'm so happy.
Ladies, congratulations, you're in for a treat.
For winning today's challenge, you are gonna get to see Southern California's beautiful coastline on an 80-foot, stunning sailboat.
Red team won, we're going on a yacht Red team won, and blue team sucks Hurry up and get changed.
Let's go.
Well done.
I'm so excited.
I've never seen the pacific ocean before.
Come on, y'all.
Let's go get pretty.
I want to feel like a girl again! Blue team, the sort of disruption and the mess you made of those beautiful farm animals out there whilst digging for those potatoes, it's now your responsibility to clean them.
Clear? Yes, Chef.
Now [Bleep.]
off.
Yes, Chef.
Mike's dish was just horrible.
He definitely [Bleep.]
up big-time.
And the guys decided to pick the weakest link.
Now we have to clean [Bleep.]
all day.
Come here.
Come here, you little bastard.
Come here, you little [Bleep.]
, time for a bath.
You got him.
You got him.
Got it? [Bleep.]
'em.
Leave 'em dirty.
I don't like wasting time washing myself, but if it wasn't for the fact that I'd smell like ass You know? Aw, this one's cute.
I'm gonna eat you.
Let's go, little buddy.
Come here, pal.
I got his ass.
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, don't stand too close behind.
- Stay in front of the hoof.
- Right here.
Aah! It splashed back in my mouth.
The men's punishment has left a bad taste in Jason's mouth.
But for the women, it's all sunshine and ocean breezes.
Ladies, welcome on board.
I have never been on a sailboat before.
I've been in a one-person kayak and a canoe.
- Let's have a toast, yeah? - Cheers.
Cheers to the red team! - To the red team.
- To the winners.
Who wants to hoist the Hell's Kitchen flag? Simone? You sure? Yeah, you're passing? Like, for real, Simone? Instead of getting on board with everybody else, you wanted to be Debbie downer.
Move.
Get out the way.
I'll do it myself.
Us winning today is monumental and well deserved.
Dolphin, there's one! Those are wild [Bleep.]
animals.
Wild animals, right there.
For that brief time, with the wind in my hair and the sun and dolphins and beautiful water, it was just incredible.
With a phenomenal reward and a miserable punishment behind them, the teams get ready for a new day Morning, Chef.
Prepping their kitchens for tonight's dinner service.
Let's get it cracking.
However, in the red kitchen, Rochelle is feeling a little under the weather.
This morning when I woke up, oh, my gosh, I felt horrible.
I'm getting sicker and sicker.
Like, I'm not even able to focus.
While Rochelle might be out of commission She's got bronchitis, man.
There is another chef who is feeling kind of weak.
Joy, I feel like I'm gonna fall over.
I don't know where I am.
I can't think straight.
It feels like the twilight zone.
Rochelle is probably fine, but I'm not running on much energy or sanity right now.
I don't think Simone is sick, 'cause she's trying to play.
I think it's just a fake, and it's pretty pathetic.
I'm, like, just really shaky and dizzy.
Okay, I think we need to get you some food.
There's nothing wrong with her ass, man.
Simone gotta go home tonight.
- How you doing? - Yeah, what's up? I have chills, and I'm still dizzy.
Rochelle she's actually sick.
I don't think I'm physically capable of service, 'cause I really feel like I'm gonna fall over.
Simone she's not sick.
She's giving up.
With Simone and Rochelle out of the kitchen and possibly dinner service, in the blue kitchen, it's all hands on deck.
Ugh.
Can I get a medic? I cut my [Bleep.]
finger.
Yo, how bad did you cut yourself? Uh, pretty good.
I [Bleep.]
Sliced my finger.
We might be down a guy 'cause DeMarco chopped his finger off.
What? The doors of Hell's Kitchen will open in just minutes.
But Rochelle's bronchitis And Simone's mystery illness may knock both of them out for dinner service.
And now DeMarco's hanging by a thread.
We might be down a guy 'cause DeMarco chopped his finger off.
What? Ugh.
I cut my [Bleep.]
finger.
What I want is, I want to get you to urgent care.
It hurts so [Bleep.]
bad.
Keep your hand up.
Yeah.
Keep that finger up, dude.
I don't give a [Bleep.]
if it's two knuckles down on my finger.
I'm wrapping that bitch up and driving on.
But, you know, some people can't handle it.
As the blue team is losing one member, the red team is getting one back.
- There's our girl, yay! - Yay.
All right.
Where are you guys at right now? Ladies, let's go.
Yes, Chef.
Where's Simone? With the medic.
- What? - The medic.
The medic? She's falsifying an illness, and she doesn't want to work.
Either an exorcist or a medic.
She's with the medic? You okay? It's really cold.
Can you come over, so I can have a chat with you? So - You okay? - I think I'm just dehydrated.
You're not drinking water? I have been.
I haven't had an appetite.
Can you at least put an effort - into service to support your team? - I hope so.
- You hope so.
- Yes.
If my team thinks that I'm just goofing off, they would be upset.
But I hope they know that I'm not feeling well.
Oh, she's back.
Are you good? So you're not sure? - What does this mean? - I don't know.
I'm worried about service tonight.
She's doing the crazy eyes.
I don't like crazy eyes.
It means there's something, eh, pazza.
Something's not right up here.
Let's go, ladies, yeah? Simone, you're with Jessica on fish.
Yes, Chef.
I'm really nervous working with [Bleep.]
Simone.
No.
- Just like that.
- Okay.
Let's go guys, yes? Jean-Philippe? - Chef? - Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
First table has arrived, you guys.
Once again, Hell's Kitchen is the place to be in Los Angeles.
Who's your money on, blue or red? Blue or red? Come on.
Both teams are eager and determined to complete their first dinner service.
I love you guys.
I love you too, man.
Everybody, find your inner zen.
In addition to the regular menu, Chef Ramsay has added a steak Diane special, which will be served tableside by Ralph for the blue team I will be preparing it right in front of you.
And by Kashia for the red team.
Steak Diane is done with a little cognac, a little cream.
It is very delicious, you guys.
Thank you.
Okay, ladies, here we go.
First ticket tonight.
Four covers, table 43.
Two salad, two risotto.
Yes, Chef.
All I want to do is please Chef.
I'm walking in one minute.
We're gonna finish service tonight.
I won't be standing, clenching my butt cheeks together with fear.
While Joy is focused on getting her appetizers off to a good start All right, we'll be walking at the same time.
Over in the blue kitchen, Anton is looking to get his first order of risotto to the window.
- Let's go.
- Lobster tail ready? - Yes, lobster ready.
- Bring it up.
Let's go! Follow me with the lobster.
It's coming, Chef.
Right here, Chef.
- Anton? - Yes, Chef? Come here, you.
Joy, come here, you.
Look at me, both of you.
That is perfection.
You perfected the risottos.
Now you keep the bar up there, okay? Yes, Chef.
God help you if you let it slip, both of you.
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
I rose to the occasion.
I did what most people can't.
Two risotto.
Let's go.
With Joy and Anton delivering on appetizers I like it.
Food is making its way quickly out to happy customers in the dining room.
Yeah, it's really good.
And back in the blue kitchen Two risotto, one tuna, one salad.
Where is it? Risotto is coming, Chef.
Give us give us one minute.
You got to go on scallops.
Mike is helping Chris keep track of the orders for the fish station.
- Not yet.
- He just went up with the risotto.
- What? - Yeah, he called one minute.
- No, not on this one.
- It's a [Bleep.]
risotto.
Now you're confusing me.
Please [Bleep.]
listen, 'cause now I'm getting confused.
Mike is an idiot.
Please, please, please, just listen, listen, listen.
I can't fix stupid.
While Chris and Mike try to work out their timing issues Don't be afraid to ask for help.
- You really think that's gonna happen? - Just saying, dude.
Over in the red kitchen, Joy Where's that lobster, ladies? Is waiting on Simone, follow me.
I'm walking with the risotto.
Risotto, Chef.
Hey, I've got one one lobster tail raw still.
Simone, listen to Chef! Yeah, oh, is that me? If I'm at Hell's Kitchen and a world-famous chef is yelling at me, I'm gonna yell back.
Either speak up, or get the [Bleep.]
out of here.
Simone, come get this damn lobster tail! - Come on, man.
- Why did you enter this competition? I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to right, and how about your performance? How about a little break a sweat? "I think it's a great opportunity, Chef.
" You think it's a great opportunity? You're not working like it.
Where's the push? Where's the drive? - Let's go.
The attitude over here - Yes, Chef.
Move, Simone! Look at the [Bleep.]
attitude of it.
She got to go home.
She got to go [Bleep.]
home.
She going home.
While Simone continues to dig herself an even deeper hole in the red kitchen, back on the blue side Hey! The men celebrate the return of DeMarco! - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Let's go! Hey, guys.
Hey, blue team.
We're celebrating like idiots, and the dining room's full of customers.
- Welcome back.
- Thank you, Chef.
- How is it? - It's good, bandaged up.
- Okay.
Bandaged up? - Yes, Chef.
- You, let's go.
- Yes, Chef.
Wakey, wakey.
Where am I going? Right here? - You're right here.
- Awesome.
As DeMarco gets up to speed on the meat station - Probably have you work chicken.
- Okay.
Square it off.
I need - three pieces out of that, okay? - All right.
Back in the red kitchen Some of them can be a little raw in there.
No! Simone and Jessica are doing their best to impress on the fish station.
- Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
Stop.
- Yes, Chef? But their best doesn't appear to be good enough.
- You two, come here.
- Yes, Chef.
Deep fried scallops some are raw, some have just gone in, some are ready to come out.
Who's putting the raw ones in with the cooked ones? - Simone.
- Yes, Chef? Talk to me.
What are we doing? - Jessica, do you want to go home? - No, Chef! Well, what the [Bleep.]
is going on? It's an hour into dinner service.
Who's putting the raw ones in with the cooked ones? And Simone and Jessica's sad attempt on scallops - Simone.
- Yes, Chef? Talk to me.
What the [Bleep.]
is going on? Has completely stalled the red kitchen.
- Do you want to go home? - No, Chef! - Do you want to go home? - No, I don't, Chef.
Let's go, then! - Yes, Chef! - Let's go! I'm getting the blame for her mistakes.
It totally [Bleep.]
my world.
As frustration turns to anger in the red kitchen, back on the blue side, Chef Ramsay has moved on to entrees Dude, that's way too [Bleep.]
hot.
Giving Chris and Mike a chance to put their communication skills into action.
No, no, no.
He doesn't want any help.
What am I supposed to do? [Bleep.]
talk to me.
- Two lamb and one halibut.
- Yes, one halibut.
- Let's go.
One halibut.
- Yes.
I'll run it.
I'll run it.
- All right.
- Behind you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Halibut.
Where's the crust? Crust is it coming? Are you there? Can you not be bothered? Oh, [Bleep.]
me.
- Where's the crust? I-I didn't get it on.
- Yes, Chef.
- Go [Bleep.]
get it on then! - Yes, Chef.
Two of you [Bleep.]
idiots, one halibut.
You know, Chris he had absolutely no help.
And Mike's standing around.
Come on, help the guy out.
It's not ready.
Don't [Bleep.]
open the oven, please.
With Chris and Mike possibly heading toward a full-on meltdown on the fish station, the red kitchen Two salmon, one wellington, one steak Diane.
Is now ready to move on to entrees.
Let's go.
Garnish? - Yes, Chef.
- I want it in the window in six minutes.
- Yes, Chef.
- Okay? Let's go.
We're gonna have a bunch of salmon coming up, but we're gonna wait till they drop theirs.
How many salmon? Uh um Being sick honestly, like, affects, like, my cooking and just, like, being able to, like, think about stuff.
All right, we got two minutes on that salmon.
What's going on? Empty [Bleep.]
pans! Hey, you two.
Hey, psst, come here.
You're both standing there like idiots with nothing in your [Bleep.]
pans.
[Bleep.]
come on.
Like Gordon says, grow a pair.
Let's go.
Andiamo.
Come on, move.
Let's go.
Yeah, their station looks like [Bleep.]
.
Salmon where is it? Walking with the salmon.
We can walk up there.
Right behind, Chef, with garnish.
Oh, my good God.
You know it's two salmon, yeah? You've got enough for one [Bleep.]
garnish.
Yes, Chef.
This is not how we work, ladies.
Can someone cook in here? Yes, Chef.
While Bev and Rochelle attempt to get it together on garnish, back in the blue kitchen How long? Two halibut, one steak Diane, one chicken.
How long? - Two minutes, Chef.
- Let's go.
It's a V.
I.
P.
table.
Yes, Chef.
Chef Ramsay is waiting for some very important chicken.
Halibut's going up.
[Bleep.]
.
Halibut, Chef.
I've got the halibut.
Chicken! We got to fire from scratch, Chef.
He said, "fire from scratch.
" - [Bleep.]
now.
- I don't get it.
I do not understand the stupidity in it.
I'm not sending one more [Bleep.]
table out unless it's complete.
I've refired the table.
Ugh.
DeMarco just couldn't get it together.
Chicken took forever, and it's very, very simple.
Damn it.
A V.
I.
P.
table.
While the blue team refires their entrees because of DeMarco's failure on the chicken One salmon's ready to walk.
Jessica and Simone hope that their salmon fares better than some of their earlier attempts at scallops.
Oh, man.
Raw salmon.
No way.
Look, raw.
Raw.
Not pink but raw.
Congratulations for being the worst two cooks ever to grace the fish station.
It's two hours into dinner service.
And even though Jessica and Simone have delivered raw salmon to Chef Ramsay Look, raw.
Simone has found some humor in that.
- It's funny now, right? - No.
All of you, come here.
We're just destroying ourselves! You two, [Bleep.]
off.
Get out.
- Melanie, on the fish.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Bev, on the fish.
- Yes, Chef.
I shouldn't have [Bleep.]
given Simone any responsibility.
Like, she's just clueless about the station.
And, like, she's never even seen it before.
Like, she's never even worked a dinner service.
Jess You know, I don't want to talk right now.
Okay.
Meanwhile, back in the blue kitchen - Are we good on halibut? - No way.
Issues of timing continue to plague the men.
No way.
One minute and it's walking to the window, sir.
Hold the oh, you can't hold the lamb.
Walking with the lamb.
- How is that possible? - What the hell? Scott never told me he was slicing the lamb.
I've got the lamb.
Where's the halibut? Halibut! Where's the halibut? Halibut's 2 1/2 minutes away, Chef.
- All right.
Hey, stop.
Stop.
- No one told me.
- It was going - Stop.
So the halibut is 2 1/2.
Come here, you.
- Yes, Chef.
- Hey, you.
Come here, you.
And why can't you talk to him? [Bleep.]
.
I want to know, Chris! - He never told me he was slicing the lamb.
- No - are we good on the halibut? - No way.
One minute and it's walking to the window, sir.
Come here, you.
What is this? No, Chef.
Damn it.
We're just shooting ourself in the foot.
Hey, hey, hey, all of you, [Bleep.]
off out of there.
[Bleep.]
.
Get out.
Get out! We didn't finish the service, not once, not twice, but the third [Bleep.]
time.
I mean, it's just [Bleep.]
embarrassing.
With the blue team getting another banishment from the kitchen, Chef Ramsay looks to what's left of the red team to complete their service.
Two halibut, one wellington.
Where is it? Walk, walk, walk.
Walk, walk, walking.
Walking.
Same time.
Wellington, Chef.
Two orders.
- Wellington cooked perfect.
- Thank you, Chef.
It just gets worse.
All of you, come here.
Yeah, just touch that one first.
It's overcooked.
That's overcooked, then touch that one.
- Undercooked.
- Yeah.
What are we [Bleep.]
doing to each other, to the red team? What are we doing? All of you, get out! Yes, Chef.
Tonight all my dishes come out.
Perfect.
This sucks.
This just flat-out sucks.
- Jean-Philippe, shut it down.
- Yeah.
Guys, get downstairs.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Stay there.
Stay there.
That was the most embarrassing service I've ever seen.
I have to cut some dead weight, and cut it fast.
I want three nominees from each team up for elimination.
Hurry up.
Well, we've got to start dropping dead weight.
And the ones of us who are fighting are the ones that are gonna be here.
All right, let's just yell out names, and everybody raise their hand.
I'm sorry, but, Simone, you're gonna be my first choice.
What's the majority? Just Simone? Let's just get it out of the way.
Anybody for Bev? I'm gonna go you.
Bev is dead weight anyway.
Buh-bye.
Good luck.
Don't let the door hit you where the lord split you.
Anybody for Rochelle? I wish I wasn't sick.
I hate this.
Rochelle she just can't put her 100%.
And we need 100% from everybody right now.
Anybody for Sandra? I don't know why my team is throwing me under the bus.
I mean, we've got an idiot.
We got a sick one.
We've got one that's sick in the head.
And I'm on point with [Bleep.]
everything.
I haven't [Bleep.]
up a dish yet.
- I haven't [Bleep.]
- Yes, you have.
Get the [Bleep.]
out of here.
I haven't [Bleep.]
nothing up.
[Bleep.]
that.
Some of it has to do with attitude.
Maybe that's what it is.
I don't know.
Like, I don't think it's all based on for my [Bleep.]
team 100 [Bleep.]
times a day.
With this, coming into it that's some team [Bleep.]
there.
Sorry.
You know, if you have to [Bleep.]
listen, please do.
- Nah, nah, nah, not right now.
- You never listen.
I haven't [Bleep.]
nothing up.
[Bleep.]
you, bitches.
Sorry, man.
I'm thinking DeMarco.
Yeah, me too.
Right from the get-go, DeMarco's a done [Bleep.]
.
I mean, you can see a good Chef and a [Bleep.]
chef from a mile away.
Gabriel? Based off tonight, I did good.
Chris did bad.
Mark my words I'm not dead weight, guys.
I guaran-[Bleep.]
-tee that.
I own everything and anything that I do in that kitchen.
I know I could've done better, but Mike, he's poison for the team.
Keep DeMarco, keep me, but get [Bleep.]
Mike out of here.
If I'm getting all the elements composed, you're seasoning my [Bleep.]
fish at this point.
And that's all you did for me tonight.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I gotta defend something.
Chris wanted to [Bleep.]
be the first guy to leave.
You know, it's not like one person just works and the other doesn't, you [Bleep.]
idiot.
If you don't see me do something you're my man.
You're listening to every [Bleep.]
order being called out, and you're watching what my hands are doing.
All right, the guy that's cooking is supposed to be cooking.
Both of you are responsible.
Yeah.
But if he's saying that he didn't do it right, you're his [Bleep.]
backbone.
He's frickin' sabotaging us, dude, he sucks so bad.
I think we should send Gabriel off, because he did just as much on hot apps as I did on [Bleep.]
fish.
- What? - Are you [Bleep.]
crazy? You stood there like a bitch, just standing there watching him.
That's right, I did.
Go back to the grocery store, [Bleep.]
! Go back to the grocery store and keep working there, - you little bitch! - [Bleep.]
dough boy bitch.
- Oh, look, so you're better than me, - Yeah.
you little [Bleep.]
.
Piece of [Bleep.]
.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Seriously, [Bleep.]
you, dude.
- [Bleep.]
Do something.
Do something.
- No! Don't hit him.
Go back to the grocery store, [Bleep.]
! After a horrific dinner service that got the entire blue team kicked out of the kitchen, the situation may be escalating from hurling insults Guys, no! To throwing punches.
- You got one shot.
- [Bleep.]
little bitch! One shot and you'll be dead before you even [Bleep.]
Register it in your little [Bleep.]
brain.
He's not worth it.
I know, exactly.
Dude, you can talk all the [Bleep.]
you want, bro.
- Guys, listen, listen.
- That's done.
That is done.
I'm lost for words.
Sandra, women's first nominee and why.
Simone, Chef.
She's pretty much given up.
- Second nominee.
- Rochelle, Chef.
She's very ill and is not recuperating, and it's getting worse.
Third nominee.
Myself, Chef.
So why did they put you up? I don't know, Chef.
We did this 'cause we really did.
It's the attitude.
Right, Jason, men's first nominee and why.
Mike, 'cause we feel that he is the weakest link by far amongst us all.
Second nominee and why.
DeMarco.
We think he might lack the passion and the drive that it takes to succeed.
Okay.
Third nominee and why.
Chris for his poor performance tonight on the fish station.
Six nominees that's a first.
My decision is DeMarco, Mike, Simone, give me your jackets.
Come here, you.
Stand over there.
All of you have now got ten seconds to give me one reason why you think you should stay.
- Simone.
- I came here because I wanted to compete.
I came here thinking that I would have the chance to grow and to learn from you because I respect you.
You, ten seconds.
Move.
Chef, I just want to cook.
I just want to get on a station and lead.
I have to admit, I'm not 100% confident.
My confidence isn't there, but it is now.
- It wasn't there - Time.
Ten seconds, you.
Chef, I came back to try to fight to run the station, to get my chance to run the fish station.
Chris wanted to try to dig himself out and couldn't.
It doesn't mean that I should go home, Chef.
It's just that simple.
My decision is It's okay, Chef.
I can go.
Simone, good night.
I'm normally really energetic and lively.
And since I haven't been feeling well, I think I've come across as very soft and not someone who can fight.
And even the biggest, most wonderful things sometimes don't turn out to be the best for you.
Mike, here's your jacket.
Back in line.
DeMarco, back in line.
Get out, guys.
How dare you put me up? Now I feel like they may have it in for me.
But I didn't come here to be B.
F.
F.
S.
From now on, I'm gonna focus on what I have to do.
Give me a [Bleep.]
break.
At least send Mike home.
You know, this is his last straw.
If he doesn't step up, he will be the next one out of here.
All of these [Bleep.]
can kiss my 300-pound ass.
These guys are gonna start throwing people under the bus.
Now it's game on.
Hell's Kitchen is about making someone's wish come true.
Simone wished to leave Hell's Kitchen.
That is an easy one.
Wish granted.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen The red team does not deserve to be breathing our air.
Fierce competition [Bleep.]
! The red team is getting stronger and stronger.
We're close! We're almost there! Turns to bitter rivalry.
I'm getting real pissed.
You know, it's just getting on my nerves.
Can still kick their ass.
I wanna just beat the crap out of them girls.
But when one chef's anger Useless, spineless dumb-ass.
Rages out of control Aah! Will anyone be safe from his fury? Damn, he's scary.
The girls are a little freaked out.
And when the women plot their revenge I'm walking.
I'm walking.
Get out of here! It leads to a shocking confrontation Don't push me with a knife.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
You'll have to see to believe Stop! Next time on an explosive [Bleep.]
start a fire here, you dumb little [Bleep.]
.
Hell's Kitchen.
