Hell's Kitchen 1x6

1. Previously, on "Hell's Kitchen."

2. We're double booked.

3. For the first timethere were two dinner seatings.

4. One team will cook, and one team will serve.

5. Then we'll turn around.

6. The teams alternatedworking in the kitchen.

7. No no, dirty bowl.

8. Just one from you, Ralph.

9. Nothing fucking more.

10. And working on the dining room floor.

11. Stop touching yourself.

12. After Chef Ramsey declared

13. Michael the best of theworst on the losing red team.

14. I want you to nominate twoof your team for elimination.

15. Chris let his teammate Michael

16. know which way he would go.

17. But Michael had another plan.

18. My second nominee is Chris.

19. Chef Ramsey had tochoose between a mother of six,

20. and an experienced Chef.

21. Chris give me your jacket.

22. You're leaving "Hell's Kitchen."

23. By eliminating Chris, Chef Ramsay

24. sent a message that growth and desire are

25. more important than experience.

26. He's beentelling the world that he

27. has that amount of knowledge.

28. Then he should have been 10 times better.

29. And now, the continuation of "Hell's

30. Kitchen."

31. Chef Ramsay'sunexpected removal of Chris

32. has left Elsie in shock.

33. Yes.

34. You're gorgeous, you're my other little mama.

35. Seriously.

36. I'm so happy for you—

37. I'm so proud of you.

38. I don't think Chris shouldhave been eliminated tonight.

39. It probably should have been me.

40. You deserve to be here.

41. Seriously.

42. But at the end of the day Chef Ramsey

43. likes what he sees in certain people,

44. and I guess tonight it was me.

45. Oh my god.

46. Chef Ramsey has made it clear

47. that he has higher expectationsof the more experienced chefs.

48. And while this is good news for most,

49. it's sobering news for kitchen veteran, Ralph.

50. Wow.

51. I really didn't think that Chef would choose him.

52. You know, and I didn't want to put Jimmy out of the line

53. either.

54. He works too hard.

55. Well, I appreciate that.

56. My decision to putChris up there was definitely

57. like drawing first blood.

58. I'm really trying to be this black widow.

59. This is a competition no matter what, you know,

60. And that's one less competitor that I have.

61. Jimmy, you think I made the wrong decision?

62. No.

63. You want this?

64. Yeah, I do. - All right.

65. Wow.

66. Chris being eliminated tonight was a surprise.

67. I'm going to try and make surethat that doesn't happen to me.

68. I'll tell you what.

69. tonight feels the best I've felt to be here.

70. Wow.

71. I think, for a little while,

72. I thought Michael, and Chris, and Ralph were

73. definitely the people to win.

74. But now, you know, I don't know about that.

75. So I think that was definitelya wake up call to Ralph.

76. I learned a very important lesson today.

77. Last night wasn't that good.

78. I really thought the experiencedchefs were going to shine.

79. Clearly last night Chris didn't, and that's why he's gone.

80. Elsie.

81. Yes, Chef.

82. You deserve to be here.

83. - Thank you. - Ralph.

84. Yes, Chef.

85. For someone with your experience I thought

86. a little bit more refined—

87. a little bit more on the ball, and less sloppy.

88. And when you go to the plate, don't fucking smash it.

89. Yes, Chef.

90. Slightly surprised, and somewhat

91. pissed off at your performance.

92. I didn't mean to piss you off, Chef I'm going

93. to do the best I can for you.

94. And now that Chris is nothere do you get the message?

95. Loud and clear.

96. OK.

97. Our next challenge.

98. We're going to do some blind tasting.

99. Chef Ramseybelieves a Master Chef should

100. have an impeccable palate.

101. You'll be identifying flavors, which is absolutely crucial.

102. So today he's challenging

103. them to a blind taste test.

104. Each person will taste four different foods,

105. and the team that gets the most right wins.

106. You will be blindfolded—you'll have a headset on—

107. so you really will bedepending on your taste buds.

108. The winning team for thechallenge is coming out with me

109. this afternoon.

110. The losing team, as always, theconsequences are pretty rough.

111. Remember last night, all those pots and pans?

112. They need a bloody good clean, and that's just the first part.

113. Let's go.

114. Blindfold on please.

115. First up— officeassistant, Andrew, and

116. purchasing supervisor, Jimmy.

117. Andrew, can you hear me?

118. You jumped up littlepolitician, can you hear me?

119. Oh, good, that's working.

120. Jimmy, what's it like to be slim?

121. He definitely can't hear me.

122. OK, good. Ready.

123. You can't hear anything—

124. you can't see anything.

125. Gordon taps you and you got to, you know,

126. open wide, which in and ofitself is a scary thought.

127. Jimmy, don't eat my fingers.

128. OK.

129. They both have got chicken in their mouths.

130. Easy, yeah?

131. Straightforward.

132. You ready?

133. Feels like chicken, tastes like chicken.

134. So, what is it?

135. Chicken.

136. Mhm.

137. What was that?

138. It tasted like a meat tortellini

139. with bit of sweatedonions in the background.

140. Jesus, Christ.

141. That was chicken, you twat.

142. OK.

143. Tortellini— where the fuckdid he get tortellini from?

144. Both Jimmy andAndrew miss the next two.

145. Now it's time for their fourth and final taste.

146. That was white radish.

147. Parsnip.

148. Hmm.

149. Radish, Chef?

150. Well done, big boy.

151. You got it right.

152. Thank you, Chef.

153. Pretty crap.

154. Ladies, step forward, please.

155. In round two, with four brand new foods,

156. it's up to headhunterJessica, and mother of six,

157. Elsie, to break the tie.

158. Open wide.

159. Ox tongue, mm.

160. Pork.

161. Pork.

162. Pork?

163. Wrong animal.

164. This one now, scallops.

165. Open wide.

166. Good.

167. Liver.

168. Liver!

169. Baby scallop?

170. Baby scallop. Well done.

171. Mm.

172. Interesting.

173. Caesar salad dressing.

174. Here we go.

175. Up.

176. Vinaigrette.

177. Caesar salad dressing?

178. Well done.

179. The Caesar dressing.

180. I tasted the anchovies in it, which I hate.

181. I knew exactly what it was.

182. Last one.

183. Mm.

184. Up.

185. So, finally what was it?

186. Beef, out of the wellingtons.

187. Filet mignon.

188. Filet mignon, hmm.

189. Ground beef or burger?

190. Well done.

191. It was a burger.

192. Elsie was near perfectgiving the red team a huge lead

193. by identifying three right.

194. Bringing the score to fourfor red, and one for blue.

195. Michael, are you ready?

196. Yes, Chef.

197. Ralph, are you ready?

198. Yes, Chef.

199. And now the final round

200. the two professionalchefs, Ralph and Michael.

201. First one is veal sweetbreads

202. taken from the pancreas.

203. So, what is it Ralph?

204. Beef with fat, Chef?

205. Sweetbreads.

206. Ah.

207. That's beef and fatty.

208. Red team, if Michael gets this right,

209. the game is over and thered team win the challenge.

210. What was that?

211. Oh, something awful, man.

212. Something from a cow thatl shouldn't be eating.

213. It tastes like a brain or something like that.

214. I don't know.

215. Blue team.

216. they're still alive.

217. With only three ingredients left,

218. and the blue team down by three, Ralph

219. can't afford to miss even one.

220. The pressure's on Ralph right now.

221. If he gets this one wrong it's over.

222. This next one is a spinach leaf.

223. Ralph has the most educated palate—

224. He told me two days agohe was the strongest cook.

225. This should be water off a duck's back for Ralph.

226. Open wide.

227. Come on, Ralph—

228. it's only a leaf.

229. What was that?

230. Romaine lettuce, Chef?

231. Oh, lettuce!

232. I'm a little disappointed

233. that Ralph didn't get spinach.

234. I got to tell you the honest truth—

235. Ralph, you should have gotten spinach.

236. OK.

237. Headphones off— headphones off.

238. That was baby spinach.

239. Red team you're the winners—

240. well done, red team.

241. Blue team you lost.

242. Ralph. Yes, Chef.

243. Another disappointment.

244. Oh.

245. Remember lastnight, all those pots and pans?

246. They need a really good clean.

247. Red team, go and get changed.

248. Unfortunately I wassitting there this morning,

249. drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes,

250. and I popped a cough drop in my mouth

251. as we walked into the kitchen.

252. I wish I had skipped all three of those.

253. We just love to take a licking.

254. As always, the punishment for losing

255. is a harsh one—

256. an entire restaurant'sworth of dishes to clean.

257. Every time.

258. This is the worst.

259. Every time.

260. This sucks.

261. I got to tell you I'm bitter

262. and pissed off right now.

263. We haven't had any time with Ramsay.

264. I would like to put on asuit and enjoy his company.

265. Oh come on, you fucking gross sons of—

266. but no, I'm going to be sitting in a dish

267. washing station for the nextfour hours doing this crap.

268. That's nasty.

269. Oh, my God.

270. I so needed today—

271. so needed today.

272. You know, when I saw someof the things getting

273. served it had worried me a little bit.

274. But I nailed it—

275. I was so sure of all the three that I got right

276. and that was a great feeling.

277. I guess I got a good palate.

278. Yeah, you do.

279. Ralph has got to be pissed.

280. Ralph has got to be pissed.

281. Yeah.

282. But as Ralphie says, to thevictors goes the spoils.

283. What's that?

284. Kick somebody's ass.

285. Poor blue team.

286. Fuck them.

287. A break from thebrutal pace of "Hell's Kitchen"

288. is a coveted reward.

289. And for the red teamwinning today's challenge

290. means an exclusive winetasting with Chef Ramsay.

291. Nice to get out, huh?

292. Yes.

293. We're here today to taste

294. some really nice wines.

295. Some beautiful wines— refined, exquisite.

296. Here's to theblue team— scrubbing pans,

297. and pots.

298. Well done.

299. They've been nothing butgood sports about it though.

300. Fucking red team.

301. Fucking Elsie.

302. Don't go to sleep tonight Els.

303. Sweet dreams, honey.

304. This sucks, this is a bad punishment.

305. Could be worse.

306. Just look at the color.

307. Nice, rich, dark cherry.

308. Jimmy, you're not

309. supposed to drink all of it.

310. Why not?

311. And Jim, can I just teach you something?

312. Yes, sir.

313. I'm going to teach you how to sip wine.

314. OK. - OK.

315. So you go like this.

316. Show me.

317. That's—

318. Suck your lips together. Here we go.

319. Fucking, man.

320. I don't know much about wine—

321. I know quite a bit about beer.

322. Forget it.

323. It was hilarious, becausethere's just nothing

324. refined about Jimmy.

325. You got a doggy bag for that one?

326. The red team returns after enjoying

327. the sweet taste of successto find the blue team

328. right where they left them—still bitter.

329. What's up guys?

330. Where did you go?

331. We had a lot of wine.

332. Nice.

333. Well, we're glad you had a nice time.

334. See you guys later.

335. Thanks, guys.

336. Don't be scared topitch in the dorms over there.

337. The punishments aredefinitely getting worse.

338. "Hell's Kitchen" is becoming—

339. it's becoming more Hell.

340. Fuck.

341. Hi, it's Jimmy.

342. Jimmy, it's Gordon.

343. You're going to be in the dining room.

344. See you in 10 minutes with your jackets on.

345. OK.

346. Bye.

347. Yo!

348. Listen up.

349. He said make sureeverybody is in full gear.

350. Who knows what we're going to do?

351. So why are we getting dressed?

352. I don't know—

353. he said pants, chef jacket, everything.

354. We walked out there notknowing what's going to happen,

355. you know.

356. One of us could be going home for all I know.

357. It could be another challenge— it

358. could could be service tonight.

359. You know, we just don'tknow with "Hell's Kitchen."

360. I've got a huge announcement.

361. Tomorrow night, for the firsttime ever in "Hell's Kitchen,"

362. the menu is yours.

363. So I want you to takeeverything you've learned

364. and come up with your menu.

365. Three starters, three maincourses, and three desserts.

366. Those menus will go head to head—

367. red team versus the blue team, and the customers

368. will decide which one they're going to eat.

369. Let's go.

370. With the teamsdesigning their own menus

371. for tomorrow night's dinner service,

372. this is their biggest responsibility yet.

373. Do one of you guys have a great recipe?

374. So how about paella?

375. We could do a pan-seared duckbreast with pineapple slices.

376. OK.

377. I would like to make my paella.

378. We just wanted to make sure

379. that the menu definitely reflected the core

380. of what the person wanted.

381. How about scallops?

382. Oh yeah, scallops are great.

383. I do like the scallops wrapped in bacon.

384. Dessert.

385. We're doing creme brulee.

386. We could also do— you know what we could do we could

387. do like a chocolate cheesecake.

388. No, don't do a chocolate cheesecake.

389. I've got a great flourless chocolate cake recipe.

390. It's simple, it's easy, it's foolproof.

391. I've got my main.

392. What are you thinking?

393. It's a braised salmon.

394. I think— I'm not big on salmon myself.

395. I think halibut is great, because I

396. think people like halibut.

397. This was supposedto be a group effort,

398. but it was more of a groupeffort underneath Ralph.

399. The restaurant is opening

400. tonight for the sixth time.

401. With brand new menus, the teams are getting

402. an early start on their prep.

403. Oh, OK.

404. Don't tighten, it's too tight, because it'll

405. pinch right through it.

406. While Michael shows Elsie the ropes,

407. Ralph is teaching Andrew the finer points

408. of poaching halibut.

409. Going to go into a saute pan.

410. Right.

411. I was trying to keep a firmhandle on what was going on.

412. Right now we can't afford any mistakes.

413. You're not going topoach it in that— you're

414. going to poach it in a pan.

415. You don't poach the fish in something that big.

416. Because you're not gonna take me down tonight.

417. It's a shorttime before dinner service.

418. And although Chef Ramsay hasgiven control of the menu

419. to the aspiring chefsit's still his reputation

420. that brings the customers in.

421. Seafood paella— no needto ask who's doing that one.

422. I put that in the rice to season it.

423. The biggestworry about the paella

424. that I have is just everything overcooking—

425. the rice especially.

426. Right, so you have to control that nicely.

427. The red team's got a very ambitious menu.

428. The disaster can be cooking the scallops.

429. And they seem not completelyset, but they're on their way.

430. Lemongrass poached halibut.

431. Can I talk to you about it, Andrew?

432. We have, whichwe added some lemongrass

433. and some cilantro to.

434. And we cooked it down a little bit.

435. We're going to poach it in that.

436. It's still very thin thoughat the moment, isn't it?

437. Yeah?

438. And this is the most concentrated

439. I've seen any of them, which is always

440. a good sign before service.

441. Red team, come here, over here, please.

442. Blue team, quick, now.

443. For the first time ever in "Hell's Kitchen,"

444. your menus are going head to head.

445. So are you going to be judged onthe amount of orders that come

446. through to the blue team and the amount of orders

447. that come through to the red team.

448. And depending on what they say, how they enjoy the experience,

449. that will determine ourwinning team this evening.

450. Just remember one crucialthing, and it may be your menus,

451. but it's my standards, and this is my restaurant.

452. Do you understand that?

453. Yes, chef.

454. Blue team, I've just remembered.

455. You found it very hard yesterdayto unlock those taste buds.

456. Romaine lettuce, chef?

457. Oh, lettuce.

458. Second part of your punishment, I'm locking

459. your storeroom this evening.

460. I think your baby chickensare in there, is that right?

461. Oh, shit.

462. I'll give you the combination.

463. C1690Y.

464. Log it.

465. I'm saying it once.

466. Now our storeroom is locked.

467. It's like having one arm tied behind my back.

468. Hopefully they don't order a lot of chicken.

469. 1690Y.

470. Whoa.

471. First try.

472. - Success. - What do you want?

473. Give me the tape.

474. Give me the masking tape.- There's nothing—

475. Just give me the masking tape.

476. Oh, I got you.

477. What are you doing?

478. Get that fucking tape off of there.

479. And get the fuck back in there.

480. You think I'm fucking stupid?

481. I'm not stupid like you.

482. Come here.

483. You fucking guys fucked it up.

484. You get a punishment.

485. You don't fucking rig it so it works for you.

486. You blew it.Pay the consequences, got it?

487. Yes, chef.

488. Why don't you try beinga serious of these people

489. are on your team instead of being a jerk.

490. Chef, I'm going to bringthose down right now.

491. No you're not, becauseAndrew just ruined it for you

492. because he was taping the door.

493. When you need them, you gotto come in here and get one.

494. With the debut of two new menus,

495. it's almost as if it's opening night.

496. Ladies, welcome to the restaurant.

497. Jimmy, are you ready?

498. I'm very ready, Chef.

499. Tonight, the customershave the contestants fate

500. in their hands, literally.

501. You have two menus to go from.

502. Do we choose from eitherthe blue or the red?

503. Or the red.

504. But your starter, main course, and dessert has to match.

505. No mixing and matching.

506. I got you.

507. OK, that's fine.

508. Thank you.

509. That looks delicious.

510. The red menufeatures Jimmy's roasted duck

511. breast, Michael's filet mignon, and Elsie's traditional paella.

512. The blue menu includesRalph's mushroom agnolotti,

513. Ralph's grilled New York sirloin steak,

514. Ralph's lemongrass poachedhalibut, and Ralph's

515. flourless chocolate cake.

516. ?

517. No, I think I'll do the red menu.

518. The red menu.

519. Perfect.

520. I'm going to go with the blue menu.

521. I'd like to choose from the red menu.

522. Tonight, Chef Ramsay is keeping score.

523. He will be judging them on not just quantity,

524. but quality and speed.

525. You put up that, the scallop, Jimmy?

526. Red team is readywith their first order.

527. Jimmy is showing he has the speed—

528. Jimmy, that's undercooked there.

529. That's undercooked?

530. Yes, it's undercooked.

531. —but unfortunatelynot the quality.

532. Now don't fucking juststand there like some big,

533. fucking shit. Touch the scallop.

534. Go.

535. Go, please.

536. Away.

537. I got scallop.

538. Come on, Jimmy.

539. Scallop is way undercooked.

540. , Jimmy.

541. Meanwhile, the blue team is running

542. into some trouble of their own.- So sorry.

543. Go, go, go, go, go. I'm sorry.

544. I'm sorry.

545. One pear salad, one bisque away.

546. Four minutes on our plate.

547. Yes, chef.

548. Andrew?

549. Andrew, can I have an answer?

550. Pear salad, lobster bisque, where is he?

551. He's in the store room, chef.

552. Yeah, that's my four minutes, not his seven.

553. Yeah, chef.

554. Four minutes, Andrew, get on that.

555. - I heard that.- Two pear salad I'm waiting on.

556. 30 seconds, chef.

557. Oh, come on, fuck off with you.

558. It's 30 minutesinto dinner service,

559. and with the backup in the red kitchen,

560. and appetizers flying out of the blue kitchen,

561. customers sitting at the same table

562. are having a completelydifferent dining experiences.

563. Girl's got the blue one.

564. Blue kitchen's doing a better job.

565. Sorry, guys.

566. Am I flaunting it by eating in front of you?

567. The blue team has designed a menu that

568. has allowed them a fast start.

569. But there's a problemwith one of their dishes,

570. and it's now being returned to the kitchen by Jean Philippe.

571. Yes, there was a hair in there.

572. Come here.

573. Jessica, come here.

574. A customer just complainedof hair in the agnolotti.

575. What else? That's it?

576. Yep.

577. That's not my hair, chef.

578. No, listen, I'm not hereto find out who's it is.

579. Did you hear what the customer feedback is?

580. - Yes, chef.- Understand it and fuck off.

581. Go.

582. What do you want me to do, not say anything to you?

583. They found a hair in the agnolotti.

584. I'm not asking is it your hair.

585. They found a hair in your food.

586. Understand what I'm saying.

587. Yes, chef.

588. And don't fucking start arguing.

589. Back in the red kitchen,

590. Jimmy's already struck out with one scallop,

591. and now he's back at the hot plate.

592. Jimmy, the scallop's overcooked now.

593. What's happening now?

594. It's scorching. Everything's scorching.

595. Nicely it nicely, and you putit in the oven to finish, yes?

596. I'm not serving that, OK?

597. Yes, chef.

598. When Jimmy couldn't pump out those scallops,

599. I was getting a little pissed off.

600. It's like we've gone over this 100 times.

601. It's really simple. You know what?

602. I can cook scallops from now on, Jimmy.

603. I'll pass them over to you when they're

604. ready to go in the oven.

605. It's not cooking, man.

606. I know.

607. Can I get a plate for a scallop, please?

608. Right, that's better. Let's go.

609. Three scallops, table 31.

610. Gently let's go.

611. Go, please.

612. 21, go, please.

613. An hour into dinner service, Michael

614. has put an end to the scallop dilemma

615. and completed most of the appetizers.

616. It looks absolutely delicious.

617. Meanwhile, the blueteam is off to the best start

618. that they've ever had.

619. Halibut coming.

620. Halibut coming.

621. Andrew is bringinghis first main courses

622. up to the hotplate.

623. And things could look better.

624. Pretty good start. Hello?

625. - Already on top of it. - Andrew?

626. Yes.

627. - Just come here a minute.- I'm.

628. Yeah, Andrew?

629. Andrew, come here a minute, and touch those bowels.

630. I've now got stone cold fucking bowls.

631. I want the whole lot fucking dressed.

632. I want them fucking pipping hot.

633. I'm going to— stop there, young man.

634. Why were you serving food onstone cold plates, Andrew?

635. Andrew broke one ofChef Ramsay's most basic rules.

636. In his restaurants, you onlyserve hot food on hot plates.

637. So you cook it to perfectionand you choose to serve it

638. on a stone cold plate.

639. Unbelievable.

640. Yes, what we need to do rightnow is make up for Andrew.

641. Andrew, what can I help you with.

642. What do you need?

643. Come on.

644. I can't even dress them quick enough.

645. It's It's OK.

646. It's OK.

647. Good, well they're fucking cold

648. by the time I even dress them.

649. All right, well, whatare you dressing them with?

650. I need to pour this sauce on it.

651. - This sauce? - Yes.

652. What do you need? Right here?

653. - Pour it. - Pour it on?

654. Pour it on, Jess, go.

655. On all of them?

656. Yes.

657. Halibut coming now, please.

658. Coming chef.

659. Keep it cool, calm, cool, collected, all right?

660. No worries, Andrew.

661. Will you clear the plate?

662. Have you any idea wherethe rest of the table went?

663. They went out, chef.

664. Yeah, just touch that plate for me.

665. Hello, young man?Just touch that plate for me.

666. - Yeah. - Yeah, there you go.

667. Yeah, there you go.

668. Go, table 20.

669. Go.

670. It's an hour anda half into dinner service.

671. And all the tickets are in.

672. The blue team has won the numbers game by 11.

673. But quality and speed aremost important to Chef Ramsay.

674. How's your main course like?

675. Was it worth it?

676. Mine is a little overcookedand it's a little soupy.

677. A little overcooked?

678. But yours is fine?

679. But the fish is a little overcooked.

680. Let me pull them for you.

681. Go.

682. Go.

683. All of the halibut, whichwe served on this table,

684. they're all overcooked, chef.

685. Andrew, plate, please.

686. Jean Philippe just explainedto both Andrew and Ralph

687. the fucking problem with the halibut, yes?

688. Yeah, the fish overcookedand no flavor whatsoever.

689. Tasteless.

690. Meanwhile, the red kitchen

691. is hitting their stride.

692. Michael is sending out theirmain courses, filet mignon

693. and roasted duck breast.

694. There you go. 24, go.

695. The red team's food is going

696. over well with the customers.

697. Wow, that's great.

698. Elsie finally getsan order for her specialty.

699. One vichyssoise, one scallops.

700. Main course, one paella, one filet mignon.

701. Dessert, one lemon andcranberry, one chocolate tart,

702. all red team.

703. I got a paella.

704. Thank you.

705. Elsie's paella is one of herchildren's favorite dishes,

706. and she's hoping the dinerswill feel the same way.

707. - Paella looks good. - Let's go.

708. Paella filet we go with, yes?

709. Paella?

710. Paella, yep, over here.

711. Very nice, Elsie, yes?

712. He liked my Paella.

713. Go, pick up, please, table 10.

714. Let's hope thecustomer likes it, right?

715. The customer is going to love your paella.

716. Seafood on top of rice is what it is.

717. Well, what's the seasoning?

718. What are you tasting?

719. As of right now, Elsie's kids

720. are still the only ones who like her paella.

721. It's three hours into dinnerservice and a table of two as

722. ordered from both menus.

723. The red kitchen main course is ready.

724. And all Chef Ramsay needsis Andrew's halibut.

725. I'm not waiting, Andrew. Fuck you.

726. Go, 30, go.

727. I'm not slowing down anymore now.

728. That's it. No chance.

729. I have a slight littleproblem with the halibut,

730. but it shouldn't be too long.

731. OK.

732. Thank you for your patience.

733. I'll sit here and watch you eat.

734. You're missing out.

735. Service, five covers.

736. Don't you dare.

737. Don't you fucking dare.

738. Five covers, table one.

739. One pear salad, one agnolotti.

740. Main course, one chicken, one halibut.

741. Desserts, pick up, please.- Yes, chef.

742. Can you not just see, Andrew, right now what's going on?

743. While I'm talking out, and reading an order out,

744. let me read the order out, thenyou say what is the matter.

745. I need six minutes on thehotplate for the halibut.

746. They're not cooking fast enough.

747. And I don't want to give you raw fish, chef.

748. - Hello, young man? - Yeah, chef?

749. I'm trying to lace both kitchens together,

750. and this is turning out to be a nightmare.

751. If I say it's three minutes on the plate,

752. it's three minutes on the plate, OK?

753. It wasn't difficult to poach the halibut.

754. It just wasn't about toget done in four minutes.

755. It just was— it's not chemically

756. possible to cook that halibutin four minutes, bottom line.

757. Science doesn't allow it.

758. Would you like some red steak while you're

759. waiting for your blue halibut?- I would.

760. But you try it first, see if you don't die.

761. Then I'll try it.

762. Great.

763. Penne.

764. Meanwhile, Jimmy is trying to bounce

765. back with his penne pasta dish.

766. Is that it, Jimmy?

767. That's it One

768. Not one salt in there, yeah?

769. Not one ounce of salt in there. Come on.

770. That's boring.

771. Yes, chef.

772. We don't create these menus to be boring.

773. Beautifully seasoned, yes?

774. It's very plain, it's very simple,

775. but it has to be seasoned beautifully.

776. Let's go.

777. Still waiting on the scallops for table 22.

778. You're not waiting on thepenne on table 29, yes?

779. With only 15 minutesleft in the dinner service,

780. and the blue team backed up with orders,

781. something in the diningroom catches Ralph's eye.

782. He's so cute.

783. Ralph, I know it's funnythey're laughing ..

784. But just fucking hear meout, will you please, OK?

785. I've got nothing to smile at right now.

786. I'm actually trying to get this right.

787. The laughs, the jokes, theapplause, and this autograph,

788. we can fucking take care of after service.

789. Fucking around.

790. Was there a girl sitting at the table?

791. Yeah, she waved.

792. I waved back and smiled.

793. The chef took offense to it.

794. No one seems to have any urgency tonight.

795. I'm closing the kitchen down, OK?

796. Blue team, switch it off.

797. I'm closing it down.

798. Yeah, hello?

799. Red team, yes, send that tableand fucking turn the ovens off,

800. OK?

801. When are we going to complete though?

802. - Huh? - He still shut us down.

803. We had only four tickets left.

804. We could have got it—

805. Jimmy, if you could have got those scallops out.

806. Scallops, man.

807. The ovens are fucked up.

808. I wish Jimmy could cookthose scallops like I told him.

809. Hey, you didn't throw away my little wontons

810. did you there, fatty?

811. What?

812. Yeah.

813. We didn't sell that muchin the bisque, did we?

814. I think we did OK.

815. We put out good food tonight.

816. I would have thought i

817. Was I think we put out the bestfood we've put out since we've

818. been here, personally.

819. Well, there is some good news.

820. We served a lot of food tonight, nearly

821. for the first time in "Hell's Kitchen,"

822. a complete dining room.

823. Not bad.

824. Michael?

825. - Chef. - Pretty outstanding.

826. Thanks, chef.

827. You're finally coming out of Chris's shadow.

828. Thank you, chef.

829. Jimmy?

830. Yeah, chef?

831. You can't get out of thosestarting blocks, can you?

832. Those first two or three tables, pigboy, you're

833. like a pig in shit, aren't you?

834. Blue team?

835. Yes, chef?

836. Jessica?

837. Yeah, chef?

838. Not bad.

839. It was consistent.

840. It was consistently average.

841. Ralph?

842. Yeah, chef?

843. I know we're in Hollywood.

844. You're here to cook, not flirt.

845. Fuck me, big boy, I turned around

846. and saw you standing there waving

847. and laughing at customers.

848. And that got my back up big time.

849. Well, he's so cute.

850. Let's see what the customers have said.

851. First of all, red team, 42 diners

852. chose your menu, notbad, but not really good.

853. Blue team, 53 diners chose your menu.

854. They said it was more appealing.

855. The losing team tonight is the blue team.

856. I'll tell you why.

857. You were done in by your fish, the most

858. popular item on your menu.

859. 19 people ordered the halibut.

860. Six out of 19 returned the halibut.

861. That's not good.

862. I can guarantee all those six customers will

863. not be back in your restaurant.

864. Whose idea was the halibut?

865. Come on, guys.

866. I wanted to do a braised salmon

867. with a white wine reduction.

868. And it was Ralph's suggestion not

869. to use salmon becausepeople might not like it.

870. Halibut might be better.

871. So it's Ralph's idea?

872. The dish would seem to be acombination of everybody, chef.

873. Jessica?

874. Yeah, chef.

875. I didn't see you touch a main course all night.

876. And the starters and thedesserts were highly rated.

877. Go back to your door and nominate one person

878. from your team that youthink should be eliminated

879. from "Hell's Kitchen."

880. Yeah, chef.

881. Now.

882. Yeah, chef.

883. Chef Ramsay is relying on Jessica

884. to sort out the halibut hellcaused by Ralph and Andrew.

885. Good job to you guys.

886. I can't believe we lost.

887. It really just sucks tohave to nominate one person.

888. There's just so many thingsgoing on in my mind right now.

889. I didn't want the halibut.

890. I didn't want the poached.

891. Then why did you do it?

892. He didn't want to do it braised.

893. That's your dish, man.

894. I got out—

895. I got outspoken man.

896. It's braised salmon.

897. I'm not big on salmon myself.

898. I think halibut is great becausel think people like halibut.

899. That wasn't my dish.

900. Ralph should have said something then.

901. And I wasn't going to say that.

902. I wasn't going to do that in front of him,

903. in front of everybody like that.

904. I have more fucking integrity than that.

905. Ralph should have opened his mouth.

906. But he didn't.

907. He didn't.

908. He sat there like a sissy.

909. He stood there, and he said nothing,

910. because he knew he was wrong.

911. He knows.

912. He knows exactly.

913. He— I'm sick of taking these fucking

914. falls for stupid ideas of his.

915. The bisque wasn't even that good.

916. That really sucks that hegot dogged down for something

917. he didn't want to do.

918. Yeah.

919. It's fucking not fair.

920. It is a shitty situation.

921. I know what I need to do.

922. It's just a great opportunity for Jessica

923. to eliminate Ralph becausehe competition for her also.

924. It's just time to see if she'll do it or not.

925. I'm going to go talk to Ralph, actually.

926. OK, so I'm going to be straight

927. with you because I always am.

928. I'm not nominating you, andthat's the way it's to go.

929. But at the same time, understand this.

930. I need to shine a little bit too,

931. and I need to stand on my own two feet, because I

932. if I can't do that, then that's it.

933. Shit, I hope she makesthe right decision tonight.

934. You saw people think I'mstupid for nominating him

935. because I can get you outand then it would be fucking

936. easier for me to beat Andrew.

937. But at the same time, we're still a team.

938. I can't tell you how muchcrap I take for the team.

939. I knew that halibut was goingto be a fucking disaster.

940. I knew it.

941. Gave him an opportunity to stand up

942. and take responsibility for whathappened and he did nothing.

943. He said nothing, OK?

944. I'm going to give you a fucking

945. hug because that's what I feel.

946. And I'd rather be honest with you

947. and open and tell you what I'm thinking,

948. and I want to do that.

949. Well, I appreciate it, and let's see what happens.

950. But—

951. You ain't going to put me up there?

952. No fucking way, no.

953. I'm not going to hold back.

954. I'm not going to walk off silently.

955. That's bullshit.

956. Ralph, he's my teammate and a friend.

957. I look to him as a mentor.

958. But he's also my competition, sothat's what's hard about this.

959. Red team, nice to be sitting down?

960. Yes, chef.

961. Jessica?

962. Yes, chef?

963. You're in a tough spot.

964. It's a very tough spot, chef.

965. Have you your nominee for elimination?

966. I have.

967. Who is it and why?

968. So I'm my nominee for tonight is Andrew.

969. He does seem to get in theline of fire quite a bit,

970. and there just seems to besomething slightly missing.

971. At this point in the game, chef, we're a team

972. but we need to stand on our own two feet.

973. Interesting.

974. Thank you.

975. Andrew, step forward, please.

976. Jessica?

977. Yeah, chef.

978. While I respect your choice.

979. The decision is mine.

980. Ralph?

981. Yeah, chef.

982. Step forward.

983. Andrew?

984. Yeah, chef?

985. Why should you stay in "Hell's Kitchen?"

986. I don't takeresponsibility for that dish

987. and I can't walk out ofhere for the wrong reasons.

988. You know what?

989. Andrew was responsible for preparing a dish.

990. That halibut required threeingredients to be spot on.

991. But I would think that he would have cared more

992. about the dish previous to service

993. than to figure it out during.

994. Well, I think it's really important

995. that you both are honest, because I'm

996. standing here fucking confused.

997. Jess brought up a goodpoint of being a team player,

998. having a team, andworking within that team.

999. And I have to tell you the honest truth,

1000. that right now, I feellike I'm on the Ralph team.

1001. And that's not a good feelingbecause I don't feel like I'm

1002. able to put myself in thereand show myself and prove

1003. it, because that wasn't me.

1004. It wasn't mine.

1005. It wasn't what I wanted, thatif I had served what I wanted,

1006. you know what?

1007. Jessica may not have had to make that decision

1008. whatsoever tonight.

1009. Chef, I never asked for it to become,

1010. as Andrew says, Ralph's team.

1011. However, the team plead a burden of work

1012. to be put on my shoulders.

1013. I prepared the dishes that I had to prepare

1014. today, two of the appetizers, two of the desserts.

1015. I executed 23 of the entrees.

1016. I did my job, no shortcuts, no crying,

1017. just doing it like a pro.

1018. I am strong in the kitchen, stronger than Andrew,

1019. and from there, you make your call.

1020. Can I say one for thing?

1021. From the first day I met you, Andrew, you're

1022. not the kind of bigheadedarrogant little twat

1023. that liked to be steamrolled.

1024. Now you're telling me that Ralph manipulated

1025. your dish into becoming a poached halibut.

1026. Chef, it's like I said.

1027. Andrew, give me your jacket.

1028. Take care.

1029. You too.

1030. Maybe I wasn't assuccessful in the kitchen.

1031. But I got to tell you, I think I had the more integrity tonight.

1032. I spoke for myself.

1033. I stood up for myself.

1034. And I said what needed to be said.

1035. That was tough.

1036. That was bloody tough.

1037. Be aware, Ralph, you're not untouchable.

1038. Sweet dreams.

1039. I'm still here, and I'mnot leaving until it's over.

1040. I'm here to win.

1041. And I'm here to fight.

1042. And if I need to adjust, I'll adjust.

1043. I didn't nominate Ralphbecause he's taught me a lot.

1044. He helps me every single day.

1045. But I know he's got his weaknesses,

1046. and I can possibly beat him.

1047. So I'm going to work hard to do that.

1048. It would have been reallygreat to have Ralph eliminated.

1049. He definitely, this whole time, has

1050. been my biggest competition.

1051. But I'm very confident that I can take him.

1052. So we're down to the final five.

1053. These are the best of the best.

1054. And the cream is slowly rising to the top.

1055. But they really now have to start

1056. emerging as individual talent.

1057. Andrew's going tonightbecause he's out of his depth.

1058. And I discovered a fake.

1059. He can't cook.
