Hell's Kitchen (2005) s16e10 Episode Script

Dancing in the Grotto

1 (male narrator) Previously on "Hell's Kitchen" Rise and shine.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay challenged the teams' palates like never before in the blind taste test.
You try to locate the flavor that's in baby food.
[all groan.]
(narrator) Wendy's confidence Blue Team, who's going first and last? Wow, Wendy.
(narrator) Paid off when she went four for four right out of the gate.
- That's a carrot, Chef.
- [dings.]
- Roasted onion.
- [dings.]
- Potato, Chef.
- [dings.]
- Peaches, Chef.
- Good job, four for four.
(narrator) But then teammate Devin missed three items in a row.
- Turnip, Chef.
- [buzzer sounds.]
- Black beans, Chef.
- [buzzer sounds.]
- Come on.
- Turnip, Chef.
Oh! [laughter.]
Sorry.
(narrator) Andrew was able to to tie it up for the Red Team in the final round - Fennel.
- Oh, yes, thank God.
(narrator) Forcing a sudden-death tiebreaker against Wendy.
For the Blue Team to win - Turnip, Chef.
- [dings.]
- Yes! - [bleep.]
.
- Yes! - [cheers.]
Blue Team, well done.
(narrator) At dinner service - Two scallop, two risotto.
- Yes, Chef! (narrator) The Red got off to a fast start thanks to Heather and Ryan.
- Delicious risotto.
- Thank you, Chef.
We're a bunch of bad bitches over here.
(narrator) And despite a brief jolt of attitude from Matt I called out two lamb.
I have one lamb is what I'm telling you.
- That means you forgot the order.
- No, Chef, I did not.
(narrator) The Red held it together Coming through, coming through, hot.
Go, go, go, go, go.
(narrator) And completed service.
- Push it, guys, push it.
- Service, please.
Oh, my gosh, that's good.
(narrator) Over in the Blue Kitchen, Koop had problems with the size of his portions There's half a fish missing.
How come you're the only one that doesn't know? (narrator) And his basic knowledge - at the fish station - Hey, Blue Team, we don't cook sea bass and salmon in the same pan.
You're screwing you, your team, and me.
(narrator) That, combined with Paulie's issues on meat That's not two minutes away.
(narrator) Was more than Chef Ramsay could take Out, out, and out.
(narrator) So the Blue Team's night came to an abrupt end.
Back to the dorms to nominate somebody once again on the Blue Team.
(narrator) At deliberation, Koop lost his cool.
[bleep.]
! Why the [bleep.]
can't we [bleep.]
do this? [bleep.]
! Koop, you [bleep.]
up all day today.
You [bleep.]
up all day! (narrator) The Blue Team nominated Paulie, Chef.
(narrator) And Koop, Chef.
(narrator) In the end, it was Koop.
(narrator) Who couldn't back up all the talk and saw his dream of becoming head chef at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at the Venetian in Las Vegas come to an end.
And now the continuation of "Hell's Kitchen.
" [dramatic music.]
- Blue Team, get out of here.
- All: Yes, Chef.
Red Team, stay where you are.
Red Team, the Blue is now down two chefs.
You need to decide amongst yourselves, who's got it in them to get them turned around.
I want your answer in the morning.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Good night.
- Good night, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
There's no [bleep.]
way I want to go to the Blue Team.
I don't feel like supporting their team and carrying them on my back.
No, my buddy.
I'm a leader, and I feel like maybe I can show the guys how to cook.
I'm gonna volunteer myself, because I know how to yell at Shaina.
I think it's between Heidi and Ryan.
- Yeah.
- I don't want to go over there.
Here's my thing, if you get over there and you actually, like, lead that team, you're gonna look so [bleep.]
good.
(Andrew) My biggest competition is Ryan.
I think her going to the Blue could be my chance to shine.
Perfect to me.
That's up to you guys.
I think Ryan has more to gain.
And I think Ryan can do it.
All right, go ahead, Matt.
Do you want Ryan to go or Heidi? - I think it's probably Heidi.
- Good, okay, Kim, your vote.
I'll be the tiebreaker.
["Fire" by Ohio Players.]
- Oh! - (Gordon) Hurry up! Fire, ugh [screams.]
(Gordon) Scallops.
Where are they? Really sets me off to a full alarm, child [evil laughter.]
- Oh! - (Gordon) Come on, guys, please! [both scream.]
You really shoot your shot (Gordon) Get out! Yeah The way you squeeze and tease (Gordon) Where's the bass? 'Cause I'm smoking, baby, baby [slo-mo yell.]
Well, I can tell by your game (Gordon) Hey, hey, hey.
Come here, you.
Come here! You're gonna start a flame (Gordon) It's just mistake after mistake after mistake! Love, baby, baby (Gordon) It's just raw! Raw! Fire, yeah (Gordon) Pathetic.
That's what I said, child [dramatic music.]
Blue Team, Red Team, line up, please.
- Good morning.
- All: Morning, Chef.
Blue Team, you should know that last night I asked them to come up with one volunteer to leave their team and make the Blue Team stronger.
I'm either hoping for Heidi or Ryan.
They're both strong on challenges, but Ryan is hot.
That would be nice.
Red Team, who's it gonna be? [tense music.]
It's me, Chef.
Are you ready to join the Blue Team? - I am, Chef.
- Good.
I'm looking at this as a strong person moving over to a weak team.
Like, it would be [bleep.]
awesome if I can get them through a dinner service.
That's gonna make me look even better.
- Welcome.
- Thank, Devin.
It does feel good to have the hot girl on the team finally.
Now, food, as you know, continues to evolve.
There's no better example of this evolution than the humble burger.
Burgers can be so much more than just a flat patty with a plain bun and no seasoning.
This Umami Burger was called the burger of the year by "Us" magazine across America.
This burger from Father's Office, Los Angeles, was named best burger by "Esquire" magazine.
This one is from my restaurant.
This is a Chanterelle Burger.
With such a variety of burger options out there, entrepreneurial chefs found a way to give burger lovers a variety of tastes on a single plate Sliders.
I'm not anti-slider.
They're just tiny, and I have a big mouth, and I like it full.
With the meat burgers.
[laughs.]
That sounded bad.
For today's challenge, each team will be creating a variety of sliders using seafood, lamb, poultry, beef, and then finally pork.
- Decide who's doing what.
- Seafood.
I come from a seafood state Maine, and I want to do seafood so bad right now.
I want seafood.
Let me do seafood.
I never pick it.
Just let me have seafood, bro.
Why? She called seafood first.
Seafood is my thing.
Honestly I don't give a [bleep.]
what my team thinks.
- I'll do beef.
- I'll take the pork.
I was thinking about doing egg.
An egg would be great.
- Ten seconds left.
- I don't cook with lamb.
- I don't cook with chicken.
- I'll do chicken.
That's fine.
Matt, you better [bleep.]
deliver.
If you're gonna fight me over something like this, it better be perfect.
- Have you decided? - All: Yes, Chef.
Okay, great, now that everybody knows what kind of slider they're gonna be making, let me show you how you're gonna get your additional ingredients.
- Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Follow me.
Yes, Chef.
Are we about to have to go outside and try to wrangle up a lamb or hunt down a cow or something for our proteins? - I'm expecting livestock.
- It's big.
- All: Oh! - A ball pit! - Morning, Chef.
- Bonjourno.
- Marino.
- Oh, my God.
[laughter.]
Oh, this is awesome.
(Matt) Definitely feels like a five-year-old's birthday party, except we're at "Hell's Kitchen," and it's nobody's birthday.
What better way to choose your ingredients for your sliders then by sliding into ingredients.
Pass me a ball.
On the balls are the names of ingredients.
Red Team, clearly you're hunting for the red balls.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Blue Team, you want to get your hands on the blue balls.
I think it's gonna be fun.
I want to climb up there.
We definitely have to hustle here.
It's gonna be a little bit harder than it looks.
You'll have 40 minutes, but listen carefully.
That includes your sliding time for your garnish for your sliders and your cook time.
- Oh, [bleep.]
.
- Wendy, please.
Sorry, Chef.
- Are we ready? - All: Yes, Chef! Your 40 minutes starts now.
Let's go.
(narrator) In today's slider challenge Go, go, go! (narrator) Each chef must slide into the ball pit and grab balls with ingredients printed on them, choosing those they feel will be complement the slider they'll be preparing.
- Onion.
- (narrator) The teams have just 40 minutes to both slide and cook - Cheddar.
- (narrator) And all team members must have selected their ingredients before their team can head into the kitchen to cook.
Go ahead, Matt! My three-year-old son would love this bouncy ball thing that's going on right now.
Why not? Let's go down a fun slide.
[screams.]
[laughter.]
Whoo! Whoa! - Parmesan.
- Lemon grass.
- Spinach.
- Truffle.
- Red leaf lettuce.
- Micro greens.
- I'm done.
I'm done.
- Good, I'm done too.
- Avocado, I'm calling it.
- You're done? Let's go, Blue Team.
Off you go.
(Wendy) Good job, guys.
[playful music.]
(Kimberly) Blue Team's gone.
Let's go! - Come on, Andrew, you got this.
- Come on, Drew, let's go! Andrew, the longer we take, the more time Blue has up on us.
I want to get in the kitchen cooking.
[dramatic music.]
All right, guys, we got this.
(narrator) While the Blue Team starts working on their sliders Make sure your proteins are cooked through, seasoned.
- (narrator) The Red Team - both: Andrew! (narrator) Is left waiting for Andrew to finish picking the final ingredients for his lamb slider.
What are you doing? When I got lamb, I was thinking about doing, like, a play on a gyro.
I need to still find Greek yogurt - to pull this one together.
- Come on, Drew! Greek yogurt.
Finally, Greek yogurt.
Thank God.
(narrator) With 27 minutes left on the clock, both teams hurry to create unique and delicious sliders Yes.
(narrator) One chef on each team cooking with seafood, lamb, beef, poultry, and pork.
(Matt) I've been working five-star restaurants.
I'ma switch it up and do something creative and new, and it's the way to revolutionize the slider.
No one else is gonna do that.
They don't have enough balls, but I do.
Ow.
- Two minutes to go.
- Both: Yes, Chef.
Oh, [bleep.]
If your bun is burnt, you might as well not even serve a slider at this point.
I'm scraping off the bun.
I'm praying right now that I didn't screw this up.
I really want to win this.
(Gordon) Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, and serve, guys.
Please, let's go.
Helping me judge today are three incredible chefs.
First, he is the creative force behind Umami Burger, - Adam Fleischman.
- [applause.]
Adam, welcome to "Hell's Kitchen.
" - Thank you.
- Good to see you, bud.
Our next judge, his office burger has been hailed as the country's best burger, - Chef Sang Yoon.
- [applause.]
(Andrew) I've seen Chef Sang Yoon on TV before.
I know he's kind of like the burger master out here, so if I can impress him, I know I accomplished something.
Our third judge is currently the executive chef of Gordon Ramsay BurGr.
The winner of "Hell's Kitchen" season ten, please welcome Christina Wilson.
[applause.]
Oh, my God, it's Christina.
I love her.
I'm so excited right now.
- Welcome home, my darling.
- Thank you, Chef.
Now, let's start off with the battle of the seafood slider.
Let's go.
(narrator) For today's slider challenge, the chefs will go head-to-head with the three guest judges voting on which slider they like the most.
The chef with the most votes in each round wins a point for their team.
Matt, describe your slider.
I did a shrimp roll with a chipotle aioli.
Is there a patty there, or is it like a shrimp cocktail? It would be more like a lobster roll What I'd compare it to on the East Coast.
- Is that a slider? - That is a slider to me.
I think we're looking for something ground.
I'm from the East Coast, so a lobster roll is a lobster roll, and then a slider is something I didn't say it was a lobster roll, 'cause it's made with shrimp, obviously.
- Is this a slider? - To me, it is, Chef.
- To you, it's not.
- Are you [bleep.]
kidding me? Calm down, Matt.
Don't be a pit bull right now.
These chefs know what they're talking about.
Your slider is not a slider.
If I asked you for a lobster roll, - would you do me a slider? - [chuckles.]
I know what a [bleep.]
slider is.
[scoffs.]
[tense music.]
(narrator) It's the first round of judging in today's slider challenge, and with an acclaimed panel of judges present, Chef Ramsay has a question for Matt.
- Is this a slider? - To me, it is, Chef.
To you, it's not.
I just want to know in your mind, because you're not going to convince these experts that that is a slider.
I'm just in a different realm, and I like to do things differently, so this is just a part of me on a plate.
Did your team know you were doing this? - Yes, Chef.
- Okay, so they agreed? Well, I mean, no one said anything differently.
She's shaking her head.
Being from Maine, I wanted to do seafood, and I could've done it better.
Guys, help yourself.
Adam, how is that for you? Little too spicy.
The greens are kind of wilted and over-dressed, big time.
I agree, a little too much heat for me.
What the [bleep.]
do they know? That's why they're running burger joints.
Moving on, Paulie, describe.
I took salmon and shrimp, put a little bit of cumin, little Sriracha in there.
You did a really good job of letting the seafood be the star.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Yeah, tastes delicious.
Judges, seafood slider, um, is it Paulie from the Blue or Matt's sandwich from the Red Team? - [dings.]
- Thank you, Chef.
I'm a chef for a reason, and I get paid bank, so whatever.
Now, the classic, the battle of the beef burger.
Shaina and Heather.
(narrator) For the Blue Team, Shaina presents a beef breakfast slider with scrambled egg.
It doesn't really convey the idea of breakfast.
I think I would've probably preferred a cracked egg.
(narrator) Next up is Heather's truffle rosemary beef slider.
The fruitiness of the tomato comes out, and the pretzel bun Those work well together.
Judges, vote away.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you very much.
Next up, battle of the poultry, Devin and Heidi.
Heidi, describe your slider.
I have a cilantro chicken burger with pepper jack and a Dijon vinegar sauce.
I love it.
I think it's seasoned really nicely.
Thank you.
I'm so excited that Christina loves my slider.
I am on cloud nine right now.
(narrator) After a strong showing from Heidi, Devin is looking to impress with his barbecue Dijon chicken slider.
The chicken's a little bit overcooked.
Seasoning's good, but the patty's actually dense.
It's quite hard.
- Uh, judges? - Yeah! (narrator) After a clean sweep by Heidi, the Red Team has its first lead.
Battle of the pork.
Kimberly and Wendy.
(narrator) And Wendy starts off with her Italian-style pork slider with parmesan crisp.
I'm kind of getting a bunch of different flavors that don't really work together.
The actual pork is a little bit dry for me.
(narrator) Now Kimberly will try to impress with her Asian-style pork slider with hoisin ginger sauce.
There's a little too much ginger in there for me.
I have a really dreadful, meaty texture in there, like a rough salmon patty.
It's terrible, awful.
[imitates explosion.]
That is my dish right now exploding in my face, uh, instead of nicely exploding in someone's mouth.
- All: Oh.
- A point for each of you.
Last round, all down to the lamb sliders.
Let's go.
(narrator) With the Red Team up by one, Ryan is looking for her consistent delivery on challenges to benefit her new team with her spicy lamb slider.
I think the cucumber is really smart.
I like the little cayenne.
I think the one thing it's missing - It's begging for yogurt.
- [chuckles.]
Oh, there's Greek yogurt on mine! Sorry, Ryan, should've picked your ingredients better.
(narrator) If Andrew takes the point for his spice-rubbed lamb slider with mint chimichurri the Red Team wins the challenge.
If not, the teams will be deadlocked in a tie.
I love the fact that you used yogurt, but the lamb could've handled some more aggressive spices.
Yeah, it's just very flat to me, very dull, and there's nothing that's giving it any kind of depth.
Judges, is it Ryan for the Blue or Andrew's from the Red Team? - Well done, Ryan.
- Thank you, Chef.
[applause.]
Red Team, Blue Team, we have a tie, and to break that tie, we're gonna come up with the best slider of the day.
The shrimp or the chicken one.
I like either Heidi's chicken or Paulie's.
For me, those were the top two.
To succeed with something like poultry I think is even harder.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Judges have decided the overall slider of the day belongs to - Red Team.
Heidi, well done.
- Yes, yes! Thank you.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
Yes, I won it! It was my burger, best of the day! This is awesome! This is so amazing! Join me in thanking these amazing judges, please.
- [applause.]
- Chef.
Good luck, Adam.
Take care.
Today's reward is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Red Team, all five of you will be living it up at one of the most exclusive residences anywhere in the world The iconic Playboy Mansion.
- [cheering.]
- Yes! For real? Oh, man, this is [bleep.]
amazing.
This is like every little boy's fantasy.
And you will be escorted by Hugh Hefner's wife, - Crystal Hefner.
- Oh, my Red Team, have fun.
Your limo is waiting.
Bye, thank you, Chef.
This is the greatest day in "Hell's Kitchen" yet.
I just idolize "Playboy" in every single way.
It's gonna be absolutely crazy.
Blue Team, while the Red Team are living it up at the Playboy Mansion, I've volunteered all five of you for a day of giving back.
You'll be spending the afternoon picking up trash at the L.
A.
River.
You'll be responsible for cleaning up all the litter, picking up fallen debris, and making the riverbanks pristine.
Trust me, it is very rewarding work.
I immediately regret this decision of coming over to the Blue Team.
This [bleep.]
sucks.
Head to the dorm and get changed, 'cause your transportation will be here shortly.
[Big Band music.]
[cheering.]
Awesome.
I was probably about ten years old when I seen my first "Playboy" And I love women, so this is definitely on my bucket list.
(Andrew) Oh, my God.
[sultry music.]
[Andrew laughs.]
Daddy's home.
I'm Crystal Hefner, and these are all my friends.
Yeah, hi, Andrew.
Nice to meet you.
Heather, nice to meet you.
You look great in red.
This is [bleep.]
amazing.
Playboy Bunnies right in front of me.
- Gosh, I love bunnies.
- [laughter.]
Best day of my life so far hands down.
Look at the monkeys.
They're so cute.
This is [bleep.]
you see in movies or pornos.
- [monkey chitters.]
- Ah! [laughs.]
You don't pictures yourself going to the Playboy Mansion.
This is amazing right now.
- All: To the Playboy Mansion.
- (Andrew) To the Playboy Bunnies.
[cheers.]
(Shaina) Oh, God.
- (Devin) Oh, so gross.
- (Ryan) Oh, God.
I'm actually excited about this.
I'm very much so an environmentalist, and so I firmly believe that if we do not take care of our planet, it will take us out.
At least the river doesn't smell so bad.
Definitely smelled worse.
Every spring before we plant the fields, we have to go through and pull everybody else's - litter out of the field.
- Oh, God.
We're already picking up trash.
You don't have to talk my ear off all the time, Wendy.
Ooh, smells good and rotten down here.
Oh, good grab, Paulie.
It's annoying, Wendy.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Maybe we'll find a body next.
I could care less to hear anybody at this point.
Is there any poison out here, like poison ivy? God, shut up already.
I'm extremely allergic to poison ivy.
Yeah, I think everybody is.
Even though this was a punishment and Wendy was a pain in the ass, it was kind of cool to do something good for the community.
You know, I believe in karma, and it adds a karma around us when we're giving back.
As iconic as the Playboy Mansion is, the grotto is where you want to be.
[indistinct chatter.]
Oh, my God.
[cheers.]
I'm so happy you guys are here.
You still got your shades on and your chain on.
You're, like, feeling it.
Obviously these girls want me.
It's called game, baby.
- Oh, no! - [cheers.]
Matt's trying to flirt, get his little pimp on.
Twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk.
Something I probably could've gone without seeing.
[cheers.]
I'm hanging out, and I'm chilling with all the girls in the grotto.
I really just felt home.
[laughter.]
[record scratches.]
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) Coming up Listen to me for one second.
Go ahead, go ahead, come at me.
No, 'cause I go meat, fish, meat So you're blaming me 'cause your [bleep.]
lobster's overcooked? Hey! Shut up! (narrator) With guests arriving in just a few hours Do you want me to tie you? Yeah, it doesn't fit.
(narrator) The chefs are back in the kitchen prepping for dinner service.
Somebody take my paring knife? I thought it was mine.
I was wondering why this paring knife was so dull.
Did you say it's dull? No, I said the person using it's dull.
Oh.
You're crazy [bleep.]
.
We'll send you an invite to the wedding, Matty.
(narrator) While a casual atmosphere rules among the Red Team, over in the Blue Kitchen What are you doing, Dev? How's garnish looking? (narrator) There's a new sheriff in town.
Hey, guys, who took the peel off the shallots? We really got to talk and help each other.
Yeah.
Ryan thinks she's gonna swoop down - and be our savior.
- Let's have fun.
I'd rather stick tooth picks in my ears than listen to her.
Devin, can you throw me my knife? Throw it at her, please.
- Red Team, are you ready? - All: Yes, Chef.
- Blue Team, are you ready? - All: Yes, Chef.
- Yeah? Marino.
- Si, Chef.
- Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
- Subito.
- Let's go.
- Yup.
[upbeat music.]
(narrator) While tables fill up and patrons start placing orders in the dining room - I'll try the beef Wellington.
- New York strip.
- I think the sea bass.
- You're gonna do the sea bass? (narrator) There's a chef's table tonight in each kitchen, and they have arrived at the start of service.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Good to see you.
(narrator) TV personalities and producers Melissa Rivers and Drew Scott will be dining on the Blue side, while Drew's twin brother and fellow TV host, Jonathan Scott will be seated at the Red Chefs' table with television and film star Ashley Greene.
We are honored to have you guys.
Sit back and let us spoil you for once.
- All right, guys.
- All right, here we go.
Yeah, thank you.
An order, Blue Team, four covers, table 11 - Two carbonara, two crab cake.
- All: Heard, Chef.
- Let's go, guys.
- Is that pan hot? - Yes.
- No, it's not.
We got to use a hot pan.
This is my very first night in the Blue Kitchen I need to get these in and get them hot.
I really got to show Chef Ramsay that I'm capable of leading a kitchen.
I've got two carbonaras.
How long do I have to wait? - They're not gonna be hot.
- Carbonara's ready, yes? - Coming, Chef.
- How long for the crab cake? - One minute, Chef.
- Thank you.
Come on, girl.
We need another pan.
They're not hot.
These were supposed to go up the same time.
- Crab cake! - Coming right up.
Walking with one.
Can we please get these crab cakes out? In between you.
[dramatic music.]
Stone cold.
Hey, guys, just touch the middle there.
- It's cold.
- It's ice cold.
Yeah, no, you checked, but you checked badly.
Come on, get them back in the oven.
- Yes, Chef.
- Ryan, she really thinks the world of herself.
She's her own biggest fan.
Get them back in the pan, please.
- Yes, Chef.
- Hey, Ryan, maybe you should come down to Earth.
Come on, then, hurry up and push it out.
All: Yes, Chef.
(narrator) While Ryan starts over on her order of crab cakes, over in the Red Kitchen - Red Team, Chef table, yes? - All: Yes, Chef.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay starts off their night with a VIP ticket.
Four different appetizer.
One risotto, one scallop, - one carbonara, one wedge.
- All: Yes, Chef.
Up to this point, there's two people on apps.
There's two people on garnish.
Two people on this, two people on that.
We don't have that now.
Matt, can you drop a lobster tail, please? - Yup, one lobster tail, heard.
- Thank you.
- Kim, do you have a minute? - Absolutely.
- Can you plate these? - How many? Matt, can you make sure nothing died on my station? Everybody's worried about what they're doing.
They're not trying to help me out.
Kim's on the other side of the kitchen at apps.
They already have two people over there.
You know, how many people you need on the app station? - You got a tail in there, Matt? - Got a tail.
Give me that carbonara.
Nobody comes over and says, "Matt, I see you got a lot going on right now, let me cook this lobster tail for you.
" - Let's go up.
Walking.
- Walking.
- Risotto, how long? - Both: Right now, Chef.
- Lobster? - Lobster right there, Chef.
Matt, VIP curly-whirly, over Hey hey, young man, come here, you.
- Chef, I want to fix it.
- Put it on the [bleep.]
tray.
It's rubbery, and it's overcooked.
I'll fix it right now, Chef.
So give me a proper fresh lobster tail.
My patience is running out.
Do you get it? - Yeah, I understand.
- So concentrate.
Okay, Chef.
Okay.
[bleep.]
.
If you can survive this kitchen, you can cook in any kitchen.
(narrator) While Matt refires his lobster tail with a side of attitude, back in the Blue Kitchen, Chef Ramsay is still waiting for Ryan's refired - Crab cake! - Yes, Chef.
Sorry, Chef.
Coming right up.
I'm between you.
- Nice.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Service, please.
- (narrator) Ryan has bounced back on her crab cakes - Thank you.
- I'm sorry about the wait.
(narrator) And the Blue Team has hit its stride, flying through the remaining appetizers.

- This is really good.
Let me try some.
An order, four cover, table 1.

- How long? - 1 1/2 minutes, Chef.
Come on, come on, come on.
We're waiting on garnish, waiting on garnish.
Shaina, please get your ass moving.
We need you ready to walk with two New York.
- No.
- No, Shai needs more time.
Shaina needs a minute, Devin.
Does anybody else feel this is slow? - All: Yes, Chef.
- Well, then speed up! - Yes, Chef.
- Heard! Get Shaina's garnish up there now, guys.
Sending garnish.
Garnish sea bass, please.
[bleep.]
, where is it? Right here I was just tightening it up some.
Don't just tighten up.
How about you speeding up? Yes, Chef.
That's like monkey [bleep.]
.
Out of the way.
Come on, out of the way.
You know it's watery.
[sighs.]
I'm trying to give it to you.
Let's get it going, guys.
(narrator) While the Blue Kitchen waits on Shaina's garnish, - back in the Red Kitchen - Where's the lobster? Chef, 20 seconds out on the lobster tail.
(narrator) Chef Ramsay is still waiting on Matt's refire for the Chef's table's appetizers.
(Kimberly) Don't let your ego get in the way, Matt.
Get [bleep.]
done, get it cooked, get it right.
I can say the same thing about dressing the salad.
Stop! Everybody, stop.
I don't care how we get to the end of this service We're gonna get to it.
We're gonna get to it.
We're done bickering right now.
We're done.
We are making total asses of ourselves.
We have, like, famous people four feet from us that, like, are famous.
Hey, Red Team, come here.
I'm now regretting that I ordered the risotto.
I know, it's all your fault.
It's all your - (Andrew) Calm down.
- (Kimberly) Calm down.
What is going on? It's like there's two people on one station.
I got one person on garnish standing there doing nothing, you know, and everybody's looking at me, like - Ask for help, Matt.
- It's not us against you.
Why's there two people on garnish? - 'Cause she needed help to - Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
- Just ask me.
- Matt Matt, listen.
- We have one common goal - Red Team, spend time now and not in front of our [bleep.]
Chef table - and sort it out.
- Yes, Chef.
- Last time.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Hey, no one's trying - Matt, all of us will help you.
Let me say something, though.
Let me say something.
You guys always want to sit here and pan up with girls, okay? Let me tell you something.
Listen to me for one second.
Go ahead, go ahead, come at me, because I [bleep.]
helped you on seafood.
Listen, if you guys are on apps, why the hell are you not bouncing around helping me out? You know how many times I've done the power position? - I go meat, fish, meat, fish - So you're blaming me 'cause your [bleep.]
lobster tail's overcooked? Hey, shut up! (narrator) It's 30 minutes into dinner service, and with the Chef's table's appetizers dying in the window - Red Team, sort it out.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Last time.
- All: Yes, Chef.
Listen to me for one second Go ahead, go ahead, come at me, because I [bleep.]
helped you on seafood.
(narrator) The chefs engage in a little unconstructive criticism.
You guys are on apps.
Why the hell are you not bouncing around helping me out? You know how many times I've done the power position? - I go meat, fish, meat, fish - So you're blaming me 'cause your [bleep.]
lobster tail's overcooked? - Hey! Shut up! - Let's start again, guys.
- Let's start again - Let's do it again.
Let's go ahead, and let's just [bleep.]
get it out, please.
You don't want to go home, and neither do I.
I don't really care at this point.
Matt, come on, bro.
It's not about you.
It's not about your pride.
It's about the guests.
That's it.
Get over it.
Start the table again.
- Do you want help? - No, I'm fine now.
No, if you want help, I'm gonna help you.
- No, it's okay.
- Talk to me.
Honestly I felt like I was on an island.
At this point, I guess I got to just fight back, and I got to do my thing.
- Where's the lobster? - Right here in my hand, Chef.
- Risotto, Heidi.
- Risotto, Chef.
Uh, I'm embarrassed.
The hits keep on coming.
All of you, come here.
Just taste that.
- Go on, taste it.
- Salt and pepper, Chef.
- Yeah, it's bland.
- Yeah, it's [bleep.]
disgusting.
Sorry.
This is basic! Mistake after mistake after mistake, and now we're just serving [bleep.]
.
One more mistake [bleep.]
off! All: Yes, Chef.
(narrator) While the Red Kitchen starts over on their VIP appetizers, back in the Blue Kitchen Service, please.
(narrator) Shaina has finally delivered on the sea bass garnish Blue Team, Chef table order, yes? Entree, one salmon, one chicken, one Wellington.
- All: Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
(narrator) And can now focus on the entrees for their VIP table.
Salmon, chicken, Wellington, Chef table, yes? How long? No answer.
Wendy! How long, Wendy? [whistles.]
Man, Wendy gets frazzled easily.
She's not even looking up.
- Hey, Wendy, that's you! - Yes, Chef.
How far you gonna get in the culinary industry if you can't listen and respond and cook something at the same [bleep.]
time? That's ridiculous.
Chef, Wellington, chicken.
- Walking with the salmon.
- Garnish, Wellington.
[bleep.]
hell, man.
Oh, dear.
Yeah, chicken's pink.
Chicken's pink.
- Back in the pan.
- Yes, Chef.
Get it in right now.
Here we are again, America.
We're cooking for the VIP table and putting up pink [bleep.]
chicken.
It's the Chef's Table's chicken.
What a [bleep.]
disaster.
- Come on, guys.
- We can do it.
- Come on.
- We can do it.
(narrator) While Wendy gets the VIP chicken back on the heat, over in the Red Kitchen Chef table, yes? (narrator) The Chef's Table has finally received - their appetizers - - That's delicious.
(narrator) And the Red has managed to come together, sending the rest of the first course out to the dining room.
This is really good.
An order.
Four covers table 43.
Entree, two sea bass, two New York strip.
All: Heard, Chef! - Matt, you back on point? - I'm back on point, man.
All right.
We had a couple hiccups, but we can't get frustrated with each other.
All right, good job, guys.
We're gonna push.
Let's just keep moving forward as a team, and we got this, guys.
- I'm done.
- You're done.
Kim? I need three minutes.
For the beans, for the beans.
What are you doing, Kim? My fish is dying.
- Someone hop on garnish.
- We got it, okay? If Kim's not ready, it makes my food have to sit there, and then stuff starts to be overcooked.
I can't wait longer.
Sorry, but I can't.
Shut up, Matt, I'm trying my best to handle the garnish load.
Leave me alone.
All right, I'm pushing my New Yorks.
- I'm right behind you.
- Garnish is walking.
It's too dry.
Hey - What's wrong, Chef? - Hey, all of you, come here.
We're going to the back to taste Kim's beans? - Beans? - There's no stock in there.
- It's just dry.
- I should've put a little more.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- All of you, get out.
- Jeez.
Last mistake.
I told you that [bleep.]
15 minutes ago.
Get out! [tense music.]
[dramatic music.]
(narrator) It's 45 minutes into dinner service Get out! (narrator) And with the Red Team banished to the dorms Red Team, two nominees.
Hurry up.
All: Yes, Chef.
(narrator) The Blue chefs are doing everything in their power to complete their service.
- Where's the chicken? - Yes, Chef, right now.
Wendy, let's go.
Walk, please.
I see a Wellington, I see a salmon - Oh, that looks like ours.
- And I see a chicken.
To the Chef table, please, yes? Let's go, push it out, guys.
- Come on, guys.
- Good, keep it going, yes? Thank you very much.
- It's pretty.
- Thank God, okay.
At least the people who are looking at us are fed.
Now we're just trying to keep pushing.
We just got to keep swimming.
- This is really good.
- The chicken's very good.
On order.
Three covers, table 14.
Entree, two sea bass, one New York strip.
- All: Heard, Chef.
- Keep pushing.
All right, let's do this.
We have no room at this point to make any more mistakes.
Walking with the bass.
Bass right now, Chef.
- Good.
New York strip? - New York, Chef.
Heavenly Father up there, watch down on us.
Let's get Wendy's New York strip up to Chef Ramsay perfectly and get these last checks out.
Oh, man.
Hey So visually, without even eating that, what does that look like? - Well done.
- It's over.
- It's over.
- Wendy's just tanking.
Her steak looks like charcoal.
It's like she put that steak on on Tuesday.
All of you, get out.
Head to the dorm.
Come up with two big names.
- All of you, get out! - All: Yes, Chef.
It is very frustrating to be kicked out of the kitchen when the other people cannot pull their weight on their stations.
Service number ten and we're still getting kicked out.
Come on, guys.
My first night on fish I thought I knocked it out of the [bleep.]
park on fish.
I thought you did well on fish.
It's just your communication that kind of sucked, Devin.
I can't see how I would be an option.
Probably the only thing I would say is just to be more, like, focused.
I'm just telling you how to improve in the future.
Wendy, I think you were doing great.
It was just a couple slip-ups, - and you weren't answering him.
- I just fell apart in the end.
At this point, I just kind of want to choke a bitch, because it's like, "Look, you want to point out" everybody else's faults, "but you don't want to see your own.
" It was Shaina holding us back every time.
Food was dying.
I'm sorry, Shai, but it was taking forever.
I had quite a few things to get up there, so We got all the apps out.
Nothing was sent back.
He said it was good, and I was [bleep.]
slammed on hot apps.
- There was those crab cakes.
- That's not a reason at all.
Of course Ryan did nothing wrong.
[blows raspberry.]
Whatever.
She's not as good as she thinks she is.
- No.
- We got to put up two people.
I know that and I want anyone that goes up, even if it's myself, to fight your [bleep.]
case.
I'm on fish, I look up, there's four people on the other side.
At some point, someone should've moved from hot apps.
- You know, I need help.
- There was no communication.
The fish was killing you with the garnish.
I shouldn't have to communicate to the garnish when the garnish is standing right there.
She's supposed to be reading the ticket.
- No, no, no, no.
- Stop blaming everybody else.
Put me up, put me up.
- I don't give a [bleep.]
.
- Matt blaming everybody.
I'm up.
I'm up.
It's always everybody else's fault but Matt's.
Take responsibility for your actions, man up.
Maybe he's like 12 in, like, a 26-year-old's body.
- I don't know.
- I'm just saying, there's no reason why four people are inside the kitchen any night [bleep.]
night of the week.
But you're blaming everybody else.
Listen, if you shut your [bleep.]
trap for one minute and just listen, Kim! You know, I'm not listening.
I don't listen - Listen! - [bleep.]
[bleep.]
[bleep.]
.
All you do is [bleep.]
talk, yo.
- The garnish was up there - All right, shut the [bleep.]
up.
Between both of you, I can't take it no more.
- I can't.
- I don't even care.
Just stop.
Stop.
Please stop.
- I'll talk to Chef Ramsay about it.
- Totally fine, Matt.
I don't feel like arguing with you.
- I really don't.
- Could've fooled me.
- You're a idiot.
I don't care.
- I am not an idiot and Hey, can you just say who you're putting up, please? - Y'all vote.
- Matt, we all have to vote.
But I'm sitting here watching her [bleep.]
while she's over on your station trying to help you guys.
Don't you [bleep.]
dare throw that [bleep.]
at me.
- Shut the [bleep.]
up.
- And you shut the [bleep.]
up.
- Hey, hey! Stop! Shut up! - [overlapping shouting.]
Holding your [bleep.]
hand.
Holding your [bleep.]
hand through this whole competition.
- Yeah, sure.
- Get the [bleep.]
out of here.
Sure.
(narrator) After a dismal dinner service in which Chef Ramsay kicked every chef out of the kitchen, both teams had to nominate two chefs each for elimination.
[tense music.]
The word that summarizes tonight is dysfunctional.
Red Team, have you reached a decision? All: Yes, Chef.
Heather, Red Team's first nominee and why.
First nominee tonight would be Matt.
We had a really bumpy start with Matt, and communication just shut down.
Red Team's second nominee.
Our second nominee tonight would be Kim.
Uh, Kim got frazzled tonight.
Garnish had its struggles.
Communication was not there.
Paulie, Blue Team's first nominee and why.
Wendy, Chef.
She was struggling on meat all night.
She started off poorly, and it just escalated all night.
Blue Team's second nominee and why.
Shaina.
She just got inundated by the garnishes.
She was treading water, but never ahead.
Wendy, Shaina, Kimberly, Matt, step forward, please.
[tense music.]
Wendy, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I deserve to stay because you told me to fight, and I've been fighting.
Yes, I do need to work on opening up more, but I've been fighting back.
Fighting back is not being silent.
Yes, Chef.
- Shaina.
- Yes, Chef.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? Um, Chef, I feel like I'm a strong cook.
I feel like I do have a good palate.
I didn't give up tonight.
I kept fighting through, and I just really want to be here.
Kimberly, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? Um, I'm a great chef.
I do have a great palate.
I'm hard-working.
I can be a leader, Chef.
I just need good communication with the people I'm working with.
Matt, fragmented service, arguing in front of our Chef's tables, embarrassing the whole team, and literally screaming.
- Why is that? - Tonight I had a bad service.
You know, everybody makes mistakes.
You know I'm a hard worker.
I got good verbal skills, good communication.
I do everything I can for a team.
- Heidi, what's going on? - Matt has an attitude.
Everybody just doesn't want to talk to him 'cause he's all pissed off.
I just it's hard for me to work with incompetence.
Tough night and a tough decision.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is Shaina.
Step forward and give me your jacket.
Shaina, you got me excited this competition earlier on, but unfortunately, you're not maintaining that momentum and getting stronger, and you're not ready to be the head chef at Yardbirds.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you, good night.
Good night.
All: Bye, Shai.
[somber music.]
(Shaina) This is one of the hardest things I've fought for in life.
I got three girls at home.
I'm proud to show my daughters how far I've come.
I feel like I fought and stuck in it, and I got the opportunity.
I lasted as long as I could.
I'm not done yet.
[dramatic music.]
Kimberly and Wendy back in line.
Matt, step forward and give me your jacket.
I want you to listen to me.
When things went badly tonight, the first thing you did was point fingers at everybody else, and you've got to understand that the only person to point at is you.
Good luck.
(Matt) Chef Ramsay is a [bleep.]
.
Like, I have one bad night's service, and everything else I do flawlessly, and then I go home when everybody else [bleep.]
up every [bleep.]
night.
The whole time I've been here has been nothing but disrespect.
If I was on the street right now and he came up to me with that same [bleep.]
, I would [bleep.]
him up.
Point blank.
I'm not gonna tolerate a service like that ever again.
[somber music.]
- Now, get out of here.
- All: Yes, Chef.
(Kimberly) I'm very thankful I'm still here.
Inside, I'm dancing and running around like a crazy woman, like Tom Cruise in "Footloose" in his undies going, "Whoo-hoo!" It is definitely intense to see a double elimination.
I mean, everyone has to go home in order for me to win.
Seeing two people go home, I'm that much closer.
(Wendy) Going forward for me, I need to get myself out of that lone wolfness and just become a part of the pack.
I need to just grab the horse by the reins and [bleep.]
make it my bitch.
(Gordon) Both kitchens performed horrendously tonight.
I'm hoping that by eliminating Matt and Shaina, both teams will finally have a chance at success.
(narrator) Next time on "Hell's Kitchen" The pair that recreates my dish will win the challenge.
(narrator) It's "Taste it, Now Make It" like you've never seen before.
When budding lovers pair up in the kitchen - Veal.
- But look at it, it's definitely pork.
(narrator) Will it lead to trouble in paradise? This is [bleep.]
.
I hate it.
I hate it with a passion.
This is awful.
You are a [bleep.]
, Andrew.
(narrator) And speaking of couples - Want to pair up? - I would rather not.
Damn, I guess Paulie got dumped by Ryan.
(narrator) How will Paulie deal with rejection? [bleep.]
this [bleep.]
.
Ugh.
I hate her.
(narrator) Next time on a bloody good episode [groans.]
Just cut my [bleep.]
hand.
(narrator) Of "Hell's Kitchen.
