Hell's Kitchen 7x10

1. Previously on Hell's Kitchen...

2. The chefs' palates were challenged

3. in the blind taste test.

4. Who has got the best palate?

5. And it was very close between the teams.

6. Trout.

7. - Fennel, Chef. - Yes.

8. Cilantro.

9. - Until... - For the win.

10. Jay clinched the victory for the blue team.

11. Roasted eggplant.

12. At dinner, Ed unfortunately

13. jumped the gun on the meat station.

14. Why have you sliced the duck?

15. Not thinking, Chef.

16. No, no, no. No, no, no!

17. And Autumn had her worst dinner service yet.

18. Come here, you. Get out of my kitchen!

19. I'm trying my best and I'm getting slammed.

20. I'm very, very sorry, and I'm working my best.

21. In the red kitchen...

22. Damn!

23. Who the you think you talking to?

24. chefs clashed with each other.

25. Get out of my way.

26. Ben... he thinks he's better than everybody.

27. I had to get Ben out of my way.

28. And some even argued with Chef Ramsay.

29. You can't grill asparagus.

30. I know how to grill asparagus, Chef.

31. It's like cafeteria food!

32. Benjamin.

33. Surprisingly, Ben was a disappointment

34. on appetizers.

35. Come on, guys. how?

36. So frustrating.

37. I was not happy.

38. Get out of my way! Where has the chicken gone?

39. And Fran was completely lost on meat.

40. You're robbing the customers of their portions!

41. Whatever. Send me home.

42. And even though the team

43. somehow managed to complete dinner service...

44. Last table, guys.

45. Chef Ramsay was not impressed.

46. You both lost tonight.

47. The blue team nominated...

48. Autumn, Chef.

49. And the red team chose...

50. Fran.

51. Both of you, take off your jackets.

52. But Chef Ramsay had one plan for Autumn.

53. I'm giving you one more chance.

54. You may not have been liked

55. by the red team,

56. but you had your best performances there.

57. And another one for Fran,

58. ending her dream of becoming head chef

59. at Chef Ramsay's new restaurant

60. at the Savoy Hotel in London.

61. Hell's Kitchen 7x10 Original Air Date on July 6, 2010

62. And now, the continuation

63. of Hell's Kitchen.

64. I'm giving you one more chance

65. to prove yourself, Autumn.

66. Show me what you got.

67. Good night.

68. Good night, Chef.

69. Oh, God.

70. I didn't think you owned any emotion.

71. I'm happy you're here.

72. Come here, Autumn.

73. Welcome back.

74. It was just so overwhelming

75. to know that I still have another chance.

76. I just thought I was going home.

77. Autumn with the team again...

78. this is gonna put us, you know,

79. where we needed to be... winning.

80. I'm glad that Frances is back on our team.

81. I'm excited to work with you three.

82. It's gonna be good. Yeah.

83. It was definitely a step up for us

84. going from Fran to Autumn.

85. And, uh, hopefully we can win.

86. I know the blue team's gonna be pretty tough without her.

87. Now, if we don't... if we lose...

88. We're not gonna lose.

89. I'm gonna shoot myself in the head.

90. We're not gonna lose because... you know why?

91. - We got rid of the. - Yeah.

92. This morning,

93. the chefs appear ready for whatever

94. Chef Ramsay has in store for them.

95. Good morning. Early bird catches the worm.

96. Wakey-wakey.

97. All right, listen to me.

98. As the head chef at the Savoy Grill in London,

99. you'll be working with some of the most sought after,

100. some of the most expensive,

101. and some of the rarest ingredients ever.

102. For today's challenge,

103. you're gonna be creative with...

104. these babies here.

105. - Wow. - Yes.

106. Absolutely phenomenal.

107. Ten-pound lobsters.

108. For a ten-pound lobster,

109. you pretty much need to either scuba dive

110. and get it yourself,

111. or you need to run down to your local aquarium.

112. Jason, come over here.

113. I want to introduce you

114. to Salvatore, yes?

115. Be very careful. Ten-pound baby.

116. I took very good care of Salvatore.

117. I love you.

118. Nilka.

119. Let me introduce you

120. to your friend Siobhan.

121. Yes.

122. - Hello, Siobhan. - No... there you go.

123. Give it a little kiss.

124. Mwah.

125. I've worked with some big-ass lobsters in my life,

126. but that was the biggest.

127. I'm excited. I know how to cook lobster!

128. So for your next challenge, I want each and every one of you

129. to come up with an exciting, creative

130. dish with lobster.

131. I want something that is gonna blow my mind away.

132. Yes, Chef.

133. You've all got fourty-five minutes

134. starting from now.

135. With this challenge, Chef Ramsay

136. is testing the chefs'

137. creativity and execution.

138. Each team must divide a ten-pound lobster

139. among its members

140. so each can create an impressive lobster dish.

141. So y'all want to talk?

142. I just want the knuckles.

143. I'm gonna use that tail and that claw.

144. Well, you gonna have to fight for that tail.

145. And I want the whole shell for the display.

146. I want... I want to use the meat.

147. Good. Save me that tail.

148. I'm gonna tell you a little secret.

149. See, the secret is,

150. Ed and Jay, in their minds,

151. I'm one of the weaker people.

152. And now it's just time for me to emerge.

153. Want to poach it real quick just to kill it and set it?

154. Yeah, that's fine.

155. Poach it.

156. Can I use tail?

157. Can I use the claw?

158. I wanted a piece of the tail.

159. No, I... I'll take the tail.

160. So I guess I got the bo...

161. the body is.

162. But there's a huge tail.

163. I don't need the whole tail, I just...

164. - Yeah, he's... - The bottom... yeah.

165. While Nilka and Benjamin

166. argue over their lobster tail,

167. in the blue kitchen, Ed lights a fire under his.

168. I saw Ed grilling the lobster tail,

169. which scared me a little bit

170. because lobster tail is already a little tough.

171. How's that lobster?

172. To poach it and grill it... I was a little concerned about that.

173. How does that feel to you?

174. - I just don't want it too rubbery. - It feel good.

175. Good lord baby Jesus, that's going to be good.

176. What's that?

177. I said mine's gonna be so good. I'm so happy.

178. Jay thinks he knows more than everybody else.

179. I don't let that bother me.

180. No, if I let that bother me,

181. that's when I fall apart.

182. Chef wants creative. He's gonna get creative.

183. Lot of people talk like that,

184. and a lot of people fail.

185. While Jay cooks with confidence,

186. back in the red kitchen,

187. Nilka and Benjamin make a difficult break.

188. Oh, it's gorgeous.

189. You gonna split it down the middle?

190. I'm gonna keep it whole,

191. and I'll just cut it out for you.

192. Benjamin just ripped it out.

193. I was like,

194. Now what the hell am I gon' do now?

195. I wanted a tail,

196. and I wanted it in the shell.

197. Tell me what you want.

198. Just go ahead.

199. I got the little piece.

200. I'm like, "What am I gon' do with that?"

201. Ben just me over.

202. There's no more meat, right?

203. No.

204. Last two minutes, guys.

205. Make it count, Nilka.

206. Yes, Chef.

207. Start getting your plates out.

208. Jay, let me know when you're plating.

209. Last minute.

210. Good, Ed.

211. I'm going up.

212. Five... Four...

213. Three... Two... One.

214. And serve, guys.

215. Right. Clearly four against three,

216. Thirty seconds.

217. Decide who has the weakest dish.

218. Hurry up. Get a fork. Taste.

219. Well, at least you had the sense and intelligence to taste.

220. - That's one. - Yes.

221. Thank God. Ten seconds left.

222. That's good.

223. I think it's a little too truffly.

224. I don't know if I like that one.

225. - I'm sorry. - That's fine.

226. Okay, whose dish do you like the least?

227. Mine.

228. I'm not happy.

229. I'm just really disappointed right now.

230. I want another opportunity

231. to show myself and... and let him see

232. that I'm not a -up.

233. What was the dish?

234. I made a potato puree

235. and I put some lobster on it.

236. Sounds disgusting.

237. Good choice.

238. Right. Today I'm going to be doing something different.

239. I won't be judging these dishes alone.

240. I've invited three highly respected,

241. world-class chefs.

242. First, I'm honored to have

243. a two Michelin-starred chef,

244. Josiah Citrin from the amazing Melisse.

245. Thank you so much for joining us.

246. - Pleasure to be here. - Good to see you.

247. It's definitely an honor.

248. There's nobody else I'd rather cook for.

249. You know, I want to have Michelin stars.

250. And that gets me all, like, tingly inside,

251. just seeing, you know,

252. an American chef with Michelin stars

253. because that's what I dreamt about

254. when I was like eighteen, nineteen years old.

255. Next, another two Michelin star chef,

256. Michael Cimarusti...

257. - Oh, my God. - From Providence Restaurant.

258. Michael, good to see you, sir.

259. - Good to see you, too. - Thank you so much for coming.

260. Thank you for having me.

261. And for our third and final judge, David Lefevre,

262. of the Michelin-starred restaurant Water Grill.

263. Good to see you, sir.

264. - How you doing, Chef? - Thank you so much for coming.

265. It's scary to cook

266. for Michelin-starred chefs.

267. I was actually really, really excited.

268. Right, first round.

269. Holli versus Ed's.

270. David Lefevre of the Water Grill

271. will be judging the first round.

272. Holli, explain to David what it is, please.

273. I have a butter-poached lobster.

274. I have a gingered lobster sauce

275. mounted with a little bit of butter,

276. and a fresh fennel salad top.

277. Okay.

278. Oh, God.

279. How is my dish gonna go in front of these amazing chefs?

280. I started shaking at that point.

281. How was that?

282. It's good. It was good.

283. You get the ginger.

284. You get the flavors that you're talking about,

285. and, yeah, and the vegetable.

286. Uh, right. Ed, explain to David, please, your dish.

287. We have a poached and then grilled lobster tail medallions.

288. Underneath is a mango and ginger puree.

289. It's a little chewy.

290. Absolutely right. Slightly rubbery.

291. How does that feel to you?

292. I just don't want it too rubbery.

293. It feel good.

294. The seasoning on the vegetables is very good,

295. but the lobster, I think, is overcooked.

296. Okay.

297. Tough decision, and two creative dishes.

298. - Mm-hmm. - If you were to choose,

299. would you go for the red team

300. or would you go for the blue team, please, David?

301. I think in terms of creativity,

302. this one's a little bit more creative.

303. But I think, in terms of execution,

304. I would choose this one.

305. Well done. Holli, congratulations.

306. - Thank you, Chef. - That's one meal for the red.

307. I think that Holli's

308. been flying under the radar.

309. I think she has great potential to be really strong

310. in this competition.

311. Okay, for the second round, uh, Michael Cimarusti, please.

312. Up next, two Michelin star chef

313. Michael Cimarusti prepares to taste

314. Autumn and Jason's lobster creations.

315. - Wow, look at that. - Yeah, that's huge.

316. ! That was a big lobster, though.

317. We'll use that as a bathtub after dinner.

318. I've never in my thirteen years of cooking

319. seen anything like that.

320. It was like a salad bar

321. with a meatloaf on top.

322. That would not be a single person...

323. family style or appetizer, people could dip in.

324. I'm 6'4". I'm a real big guy.

325. And when I get hungry,

326. I just want to eat.

327. Explain to Michael what it is, please.

328. Yes, Chef.

329. Uh, up underneath, inside the lobster tail,

330. we went with a saffron polenta.

331. We took some of the water spinach,

332. uh, rainbow carrots, and asparagus.

333. Michael, what'd you think?

334. You know,

335. there are fairly good flavors going on here.

336. I mean, surprisingly,

337. the lobster's actually not too bad.

338. Eh...

339. Good points. Very good points.

340. Autumn, explain to Michael,

341. please, what it is. Thank you.

342. This is a lobster stir fry.

343. And there's also a little cilantro,

344. basil, chervil.

345. The one thing that I would look for

346. in this dish would be a higher level of refinement.

347. You know? It's all, like...

348. you're sort of clobbering the lobster

349. with all these huge flavors.

350. Michael,

351. if you were coming for dinner this evening

352. in Hell's Kitchen, would you order

353. the lobster from the blue team

354. or the red team? I would... I would order...

355. I think I'd order the dish from the blue team from Jason.

356. You know, I could feed my family of four with that.

357. Yep. Right.

358. Okay, 1-1.

359. Okay, third round.

360. Josiah Citrin, please come over, buddy.

361. With the score tied,

362. Jay and his former teammate

363. and current rival Benjamin

364. face off to determine

365. who will win the challenge.

366. Okay, dishes please.

367. Right. Benjamin, explain exactly what it is, please.

368. We poached it and then finished off the lobster tail

369. in butter.

370. Did a parsnip purée with a sherry vinaigrette, Chef.

371. Well, I think the presentation of the dish is sloppy.

372. So I would like to see a little more, you know,

373. finesse to the dish.

374. Yes, Chef.

375. I was rushing right from the beginning.

376. My dish looked like slop. But, um...

377. I thought Jay's dish looked immaculate.

378. You know. I was like, "oh,"

379. Jay, please, uh, explain it to Josiah.

380. This is a lobster knuckle

381. and black truffle cappuccino.

382. I made a little canapé of just some poached lobster

383. with a brioche and then a little bit of caviar creme fraiche.

384. So when you eat the cappuccino,

385. if you would, just please eat from the bottom up.

386. Um, I don't think you need to tell Chef how to eat.

387. - Trust me. - Yes, Chef.

388. These ingredients... I mean,

389. the combination's classical.

390. It gives justice to the lobster,

391. but unfortunately, underneath, the lobster's raw.

392. Red team or blue team, please.

393. That's a tough decision.

394. Um...

395. The score is tied

396. in the lobster challenge.

397. And now, two Michelin star chef Josiah Citrin

398. must pick either Benjamin or Jay's dish.

399. Neither one I would want to eat,

400. at the end of the night.

401. No winner. Back in line.

402. The fact that

403. neither of 'em got a point

404. is shocking to me.

405. I thought they would have killed it.

406. You know, both of 'em.

407. 'Cause they're both, like, really great chefs.

408. With the scores still tied,

409. it's up to Chef Ramsay to determine the winner.

410. In order to break the tie,

411. I'm going to award the point to the person

412. with the best dish overall.

413. I'm gonna give that to...

414. Holli.

415. Yes. You've won it for the red team.

416. Thank you.

417. - Thank you, Holli. - You're welcome.

418. Your dish was the best by far.

419. Red team finally won,

420. and I'm proud to say that I kicked ass on this dish.

421. I really did.

422. Gentlemen, as always.

423. Come back and see us. Good to see you. Yes.

424. - Bye. - Thank you.

425. Thank you, Chef.

426. Okay, red team,

427. you're going to be experiencing the life

428. of the rich and famous.

429. First up,

430. you're off to the amazing

431. Petrossian Caviar House.

432. They are the famous

433. purveyors of the finest caviar

434. across the world.

435. Ohh.

436. After that,

437. you'll be shopping

438. like the rich and famous.

439. Yes, so I'm going to give you $1,000

440. and just, you know...

441. hey, just... just...

442. just blow it.

443. Thank you.

444. I was sick

445. when he announced the $1,000.

446. I love to shop.

447. Anyone who knows me...

448. my wife don't even like shopping with me,

449. 'cause it's a problem.

450. Okay, off you go... go get ready,

451. because we're opening for dinner tonight.

452. - Thank you. - Thank you, Chef.

453. Holy mackerel.

454. You lucky bitch, you!

455. I just keep switching and winning.

456. I don't think there's a person in Hell's Kitchen

457. that's had better luck with switching teams.

458. I think I'm a good luck charm.

459. $1,000 to go shopping.

460. I just about lost my mind.

461. Good job, Holli.

462. Okay.

463. For the punishment,

464. I want the dorms cleaned from top to bottom.

465. Bathrooms, showers, drawers...

466. you will then come down and prep both kitchens

467. for dinner tonight.

468. Get the upstairs.

469. Unbelievable.

470. I thought I would definitely have gotten the point.

471. And I am at a loss for words right now.

472. Why?

473. My presentation was nicer.

474. It was more creative.

475. Whether it was... is creative on their standards,

476. it was the most creative dish here, sorry.

477. Jay thinks he knows a little too much,

478. and knowing a little too much

479. might not be the, uh, best thing.

480. It was cooked right.

481. Like, how can you not...

482. How do you have raw lobster in hot soup?

483. It's not possible.

484. Well, Jay, you always tell me

485. that they're right... That's what you tell me.

486. I don't mind losing when I deserve to lose.

487. That I did not deserve to lose.

488. This is so not fun.

489. Caviar... Shopping...

490. Shopping.

491. I'm thrilled beyond belief right now.

492. It's an experience of a lifetime.

493. I like winning.

494. We won!

495. Yeah!

496. Freaking incredible.

497. Hello, America! I'm out of the kitchen!

498. This is lovely!

499. Got a little something for you.

500. - Yes, Chef. - Get dressed.

501. Um, be careful.

502. Our punishment today is cleaning up the dorms

503. and prepping both kitchens.

504. Take our coats off, obviously.

505. The worst part of losing is this look.

506. Jay, honey.

507. You never want to lose a challenge,

508. and this is why you don't want to lose a challenge.

509. Scrub it out.

510. Cleaning toilets... pretty nasty,

511. if you think about it.

512. Hell's Kitchen chef maid service.

513. It sucks.

514. - Hi. - Hello.

515. Let me introduce you to Alexandre Petrossian.

516. - Hi, I'm Holli. - Yes.

517. The first thing I thought is, "Oh, my God."

518. Alexandre Petrossian is adorable.

519. You should take a sip of the champagne

520. to clean your palate.

521. Absolutely adorable.

522. We should start by... this one.

523. It's the Rolls Royce of the caviar.

524. Has the, uh, herring in caviar.

525. It's the most expensive...

526. Perfect aphrodisiac.

527. This one will be about, uh, $500.

528. - Oh, my God. - I'll... I'll take it.

529. I don't know

530. if caviar is an aphrodisiac,

531. but I've been locked in a dorm

532. for I don't even know how long

533. so I don't think I need an aphrodisiac.

534. I'm ready to go crazy right now.

535. This is just fresh.

536. There's so many layers of flavoring.

537. It's one of my favorite foods.

538. Caviar is like fine wine.

539. Autumn, small sips.

540. You don't have to drink it all.

541. I'm a virgin, really, to caviar.

542. I had never tasted caviar, and it tastes fabulous.

543. I never thought in a million years

544. I would be experiencing caviar like that,

545. just sipping champagne.

546. It was beautiful.

547. This is very good.

548. In the real world, there'll be some cheeseburgers

549. and fries for me.

550. A poor's woman's meal.

551. The thing is this is like a new world for me

552. and it's amazing.

553. This is it.

554. This whole area's done.

555. I just put everything back together.

556. Bathroom looks good.

557. As soon as we finish cleaning the dorms,

558. we have to, you know, go right downstairs

559. and prep both kitchens.

560. I'm scared 'cause we're behind.

561. This is, by far, the worst punishment.

562. This kitchen needs to be completely set up

563. for dinner service before you can actually

564. go into your kitchen and start setting it up.

565. Three people. Explain to me how we're gonna prep.

566. There you go!

567. It's like, literally, a shopping playground.

568. There's everything you could want.

569. Love the world. Love it.

570. Whoo!

571. Beyonce ain't got nothin' on you.

572. That was priceless.

573. This is nice.

574. I had a blast, and I thank God that I'm here.

575. Like, just pearls.

576. It'd be nice to bring something home for my wife.

577. If I find a man half as good as you...

578. I'll be all right.

579. It's a pleasure to spend Chef Ramsay's money.

580. - Thank you. - That was fun.

581. - That was. - It was fun.

582. Can't go next door till everything's done.

583. The pasta's gotta sit for at least another half hour.

584. It's getting to be beyond service.

585. Guess who's back.

586. Oh, wow.

587. Look at that.

588. Hey, Jay.

589. Want some caviar?

590. Boy, oh, boy.

591. Holli could easily talk my pants right off.

592. No alcohol needed.

593. Without a doubt.

594. With dinner service just twenty minutes away,

595. the blue team hurries to finish prepping

596. the red kitchen.

597. That's an understatement.

598. But they haven't even

599. begun prepping their own.

600. Do you guys have anything

601. prepped on your side yet?

602. Nothing.

603. - Nothing at all? - Nothing at all.

604. We haven't even walked over there.

605. Oh, we're gonna be so screwed.

606. Man, there's so much.

607. I don't even know where to get started at.

608. - Nothing's cooked? - I don't think so.

609. I'm a little bit worried

610. about not having everything prepped up.

611. Fifteen minutes left before we open the doors,

612. and we're still running around, prepping things.

613. We've got nothing. No prep whatsoever.

614. So it's gonna be nuts.

615. Let's go, ladies.

616. Right, guys. Let's go.

617. Line up, guys.

618. Okay.

619. The last two services

620. have been a big disappointment.

621. I certainly hope you're all ready.

622. Here's the bad news.

623. The doors to Hell's Kitchen

624. will open in just fifteen minutes.

625. And while the blue team has managed to complete

626. their punishment of prepping the red kitchen,

627. they haven't even begun prepping their own.

628. Right, guys. Let's go.

629. Yes, Chef.

630. The last two services

631. have been a big disappointment.

632. I certainly hope you're all ready.

633. Here's the bad news.

634. We're moving into the red kitchen,

635. and we're all gonna cook together.

636. Thank the baby Jesus, because

637. three people in an unprepped kitchen

638. would have been detrimental to my well-being.

639. It's gonna really help me ascertain

640. who's gonna start emerging.

641. We haven't worked together as one kitchen.

642. You know, the pressure is on.

643. We need to be better than good.

644. The customers in the restaurant tonight

645. are all going to the theater after dinner.

646. We need to complete service

647. in two hours, thirty minutes.

648. - Yes, Chef. - Yeah?

649. To cut us a little bit more time,

650. we're gonna be serving caviar tableside.

651. Then we'll go straight to the appetizers.

652. Holli, your dish was the best,

653. so you're serving tableside.

654. Yes, Chef.

655. Now, they have got to make the theater.

656. Yes?

657. Yes, Chef.

658. Let's go, guys. On your section.

659. With the added pressure of a time limit

660. on tonight's dinner service...

661. We have two and a half hours.

662. the chefs make last-minute preparations.

663. Jean-Philippe, let's go.

664. Open Hell's Kitchen, please.

665. Tonight, Hell's Kitchen

666. has been taken over by theatergoers.

667. Scallops sound good.

668. Clam Wellington and lobster.

669. And in order for them

670. to make it to the theater on time,

671. the chefs must complete dinner service

672. in just two and a half hours.

673. Okay, table 20. Here we go, yes?

674. Two scallops, one truffle salad,

675. - one Dory, yes? - Yes, Chef.

676. Let's go. Vibrance, guys, yes?

677. Yes, Chef!

678. Autumn, just let me know how long on the potatoes

679. and I can drop my scallops.

680. Minute and a half. Drop your scallops.

681. I'm dropping 'em.

682. I am excited. I'm on fish.

683. And I'm gonna show Chef my full capability.

684. And I'm gonna rock the out.

685. Here you go, Chef.

686. That's raw.

687. Nilka.

688. - Yes, Chef? - Look!

689. They're raw.

690. For God's sake, woman! It's the first table.

691. Hurry up. Back in the pan.

692. - I got it. - You, madame, wake up.

693. - I'm up, Chef. - You're up?

694. No, you're down. You're fast asleep.

695. No, I'm up. I'm up, Chef.

696. We start off like that,

697. I'm gonna ride you all night.

698. - Let's go, madame, yeah? - Yes, Chef.

699. Turn it around.

700. While Nilka tries to recover from her bad start,

701. out in the dining room, Holli...

702. I have caviar for you tonight.

703. is ready to serve tableside.

704. This is a blini. It's, um...

705. Sort of like, you know, a pancake.

706. - Wow. - Did you guys make this?

707. Everything is made here. It's the kitchen.

708. I'm feeling really comfortable.

709. My God, I was having so much fun

710. on the floor tonight.

711. It's good.

712. Really good.

713. Have a wonderful evening at the theater.

714. Thank you.

715. Where's the salad, please?

716. You ready, Nilka?

717. I'm getting it together now.

718. - Thirty seconds? - Thirty seconds.

719. Thirty seconds.

720. Bring me your potatoes

721. and your salad, madame.

722. Yes, Chef.

723. - Don't you start doing that to me. - Yes, Chef.

724. She's not ready, that's her fault.

725. But don't hold back.

726. I was timing with Nilka the best that we could.

727. You know, I didn't let someone else

728. being backed up back me up.

729. So where's the beet root?

730. Coming right now.

731. Good, good, good. Let's go.

732. Excellent.

733. Go, please.

734. Thirty minutes into dinner service...

735. One for you.

736. appetizers are slowly

737. making their way out to the dining room.

738. Oh, my God. That rocks.

739. That is so good.

740. And Jason is ready with his first entree.

741. Turbot, lobster, Wellington beef.

742. Wellington's going.

743. I'm... come on. Excuse me.

744. - Keep it going, yeah? - Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.

745. beef is cooked perfect.

746. Finally he's woken up.

747. I've got John Dory. Where's the turbot?

748. Turbot's right here, Chef.

749. Oh,

750. Oh, man. That's raw, Nilka.

751. That's raw.

752. I gave you the piece of fish to put back in the pan.

753. Talk about giving up.

754. This is not possible.

755. - Nilka, you got this. - I got it.

756. - Just focus. - I am.

757. - Bring it back, you got it. - 'Cause I don't want to go home.

758. Tonight, clearly,

759. uh, Nilka was not herself.

760. But she a tough cookie. She'll bounce back.

761. You're in the weeds, let's go!

762. Yes, Chef.

763. One hour into dinner service,

764. Nilka's raw fish is holding up the entrees.

765. I thought our food would be out by now.

766. Sorry, I don't know how long it's going to take.

767. Salud to the alcohol till our food gets here.

768. Oh, yeah. That's a good one.

769. Two chicken, two lobster.

770. Two chicken, two lobster.

771. How them lobsters looking?

772. I can go with the chicken anytime.

773. The lobster's a little cold.

774. - I need to put it in the oven. - Heard.

775. - Two lobster, urgently. - Yes, Chef.

776. Nilka!

777. Oh, no.

778. Talk about giving up.

779. Today's just not my night.

780. Don't give up.

781. I'm not, Chef.

782. I'm trying to push without no up.

783. I don't know why. I'm trying.

784. We were moving, moving, moving,

785. except for one person.

786. Uh, Nilka.

787. Lobster, urgently!

788. Behind you. Lobster's coming now.

789. This is what you bring me.

790. Don't touch it. It's piping hot.

791. Taste it. Come on.

792. Come here, you, a minute.

793. What's the matter with you?

794. We're halfway through. We started off,

795. so why can't you come back?

796. I'm so mad at myself right now,

797. 'cause I know I can do it.

798. I'm sorry. I don't...

799. I didn't come here to lose.

800. I'm not weak. I don't know why I'm crying right now.

801. Get a grip.

802. But if you can't hack it, you're out.

803. It's an hour and a half

804. into dinner service,

805. and Nilka's meltdown on the fish station

806. has earned her some one-on-one time

807. with Chef Ramsay.

808. - You have to come back. - I can do it.

809. - I can do it. - It's now or never.

810. - You're right. - Get in there.

811. Yes, Chef.

812. - You okay? - Yeah, I'm good.

813. When Chef is on you,

814. the one thing that will save you

815. is if you calm down,

816. get it back together.

817. I gotta start a pot.

818. Just take a breath. It's cool.

819. You're doing fine.

820. I feel really bad for Nilka.

821. I don't know what happened,

822. but the poor girl just crumbled.

823. It's cool. Just take a deep breath.

824. So I... I had to help.

825. Scallops!

826. - Thirty seconds, call to him. - Thirty seconds, Chef.

827. You just gotta communicate. You'll be fine.

828. Whoa, sorry, Chef. Scallops.

829. Thank you. Ed, I'm waiting for asparagus.

830. Yes, Chef. Coming right up.

831. Look inside your pans.

832. Where we at, Chef?

833. Ed, it's crackling like mad

834. 'cause they're burned dry, yes?

835. Yes.

836. Lately it seems like Ed

837. has taken a dive.

838. I'm thinking Ed is just like, you know,

839. is not as hungry for London.

840. Ed, come here, you. Stop, forget it.

841. I'll take care of you in a minute.

842. Look at me. Look at me in the face.

843. Have a bit of finesse around you, will you?

844. Yes, Chef.

845. You know, I'm worried about getting food out.

846. Would you rather get yelled at for having burning pots

847. or rather get yelled at for not putting food up?

848. Yes, we're under pressure,

849. but no, we're not dropping our standards.

850. I'd rather get yelled at for having burning pots.

851. Come on, we're static, guys.

852. Yeah? Nothing's going out.

853. Oh, my God.

854. Oh, my God.

855. While Ed tries to get it together

856. on the garnish station...

857. Oh!

858. there's now a big problem

859. in the dining room.

860. I gotta eat. I need nourishment.

861. I'm not getting no nothing.

862. You don't understand

863. what I'm feeling right now. I'm hungry.

864. I'm big, I'm overweight, I'm hungry.

865. Been waiting a long time.

866. Chicken, Wellington, duck, beef.

867. - Jason! - Yes, Chef.

868. Beef, duck.

869. Yes, Chef. Beef, duck.

870. Chicken, Wellington.

871. - Jason! - Yes, Chef.

872. Chicken, Wellington, duck, beef.

873. Call it out.

874. Yes, Chef. Chicken, Wellington, duck, beef.

875. Chicken, Wellington, duck, beef

876. That's it.

877. Chicken, Wellington, duck, beef. But look at me.

878. - Look at me. - Yes, Chef.

879. - You're too silent. - Yes, Chef.

880. I'm giving you the lead. I can't keep on telling you.

881. - Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef. - Pick it up!

882. Chef Ramsay... he wants perfection.

883. He is pushing me because

884. he knows in the back of his head that

885. there's a leader for this brigade

886. in there somewhere.

887. Wellington, chicken.

888. Coming back with duck, beef.

889. Jason!

890. Yes, Chef.

891. Those Wellingtons are perfectly cooked.

892. Yes, Chef.

893. Thanks to Jason, food is now flowing out of the kitchen.

894. Excuse me.

895. And customers seem pleased with what they're getting.

896. It sure is good.

897. It's delicious.

898. It's good? Great. How did you enjoy the caviar?

899. That was outstanding.

900. Turbot, lobster, beef Wellington.

901. Yes, Chef.

902. Just focus. Take a deep breath.

903. - Look what you're doing. - Turbot, urgently.

904. It's working, Chef.

905. Listen, don't flip those yet.

906. Look, they need more color.

907. - That's why they're not cooking. - Turbot!

908. Yes, Chef. Thirty seconds.

909. Nilka, you ready?

910. A few more seconds, all right?

911. One second or thirty seconds? Talk to me.

912. - Yes. - Yes what?

913. Yes, I... uh, a few more minutes.

914. If you need longer than a minute, you've gotta tell me.

915. Okay?

916. You just want to reach over and, uh, help.

917. But at the same time, Nilka's gotta step up

918. to the plate and have that station to herself.

919. Lobster, urgently!

920. Yes, Chef.

921. I put my spoon at?

922. Just put 'em on the trays.

923. Talk to me. hell.

924. Just breathe. Breathe. It's gon' be okay.

925. just let me do it, please.

926. Just let me do it.

927. Nilka was a mess.

928. She's just crazy.

929. Come on, guys.

930. Look at this. Look.

931. It's raw.

932. Nilka!

933. Yes, Chef?

934. - The lobster is raw. - Ohh.

935. Come here, madame!

936. Come here! Just touch it, will you?

937. I just took it out the pan.

938. Look at me. Look at me.

939. Put it down. Put it down.

940. - I'm... - Look at me! Look at me!

941. Out!

942. Get out!

943. Benjamin!

944. - Oui, Chef? - One lobster.

945. Nilka, get out!

946. I'm going!

947. He was angry.

948. Madame! Uh, madame!

949. Madame!

950. Yes, Chef?

951. Take your jacket off and off.

952. No, Chef, don't say that, please!

953. Chef, please!

954. Chef, please don't say that.

955. Oh, my God!

956. An hour and fourty minutes

957. into dinner service, and Chef Ramsay...

958. Nilka!

959. is completely fed up with Nilka.

960. Out!

961. Get out!

962. Nilka, get out!

963. I'm going!

964. Nilka just kept getting hit...

965. like a ship by a torpedo after torpedo after torpedo.

966. And then, finally, just... she just sunk

967. to the bottom of the ocean.

968. And Chef just... She needed to go.

969. Nilka!

970. - Madame! - Yes, Chef.

971. Take your jacket off and off!

972. No, Chef, don't say that!

973. Chef, please!

974. Chef, please don't say that.

975. Please don't say that!

976. Oh, my God!

977. now.

978. - Now pick it up! - Yes, Chef.

979. With Nilka gone,

980. the kitchen jumps into action.

981. - Two minutes to window. - Two minutes, Chef.

982. But Nilka isn't ready

983. to leave just yet.

984. Let's go. Let's go, please.

985. Nilka!

986. - Chef... - No, no. I'm in the middle of service.

987. Take your jacket off and get out of Hell's Kitchen.

988. I've had enough.

989. I... I can't do it.

990. - Okay? - Please.

991. Leave... Nilka. Don't do this to me.

992. They're under pressure. We're under pressure.

993. Take your jacket off and get out!

994. I want to still cook and prove myself, Chef.

995. Am I gon' stop? No. 'Cause ts is my dream.

996. This is my destiny. And this is what I want.

997. I can cook...

998. Lobster, turbot, Welling...

999. - I want to cook. - Lobster, turbot, Wellington beef. Let's go.

1000. I don't want to leave like this, Chef.

1001. Oh, me.

1002. - Please go on my station. - Nilka wouldn't leave.

1003. You know, she was asked to leave one time and didn't leave.

1004. Get the hell out of here.

1005. Please. I can do this.

1006. Turbot, lobster, Wellington beef.

1007. - Oui, Chef. - Nilka!

1008. - I want to cook! - Get out!

1009. I want to cook. I can do this. Please!

1010. Hey, guys. I'm telling you now. Do something for me.

1011. Get her out of here!

1012. - Nilka, you gotta go. - I want to cook.

1013. - Benjamin! - Oui, Chef.

1014. - I can do this. - Get her out!

1015. - Nilka, you gotta go. - I can do this.

1016. You have to go. Chef tells you you gotta go, you gotta go.

1017. Go, go, go.

1018. Hurricane Nilka just had

1019. an absolute, category-five meltdown.

1020. Oh, my God. I don't want to leave.

1021. Nilka, get out.

1022. Get your jacket off and get out!

1023. This is so up.

1024. Gave up my whole life for this.

1025. It hurts to get kicked out of here like this.

1026. It really, really does.

1027. Like, I don't want to take my jacket off.

1028. ,

1029. And it... oh, it just... it pisses me off

1030. that it went down like this.

1031. It really, really did. It really, really did.

1032. It's two hours

1033. into dinner service,

1034. and with Nilka finally accepting her fate...

1035. Last table, guys, yes?

1036. - Yes, Chef. - Finally. Now pick it up!

1037. The remaining chefs hurry

1038. to get the final orders out

1039. and beat the two and a half hour deadline.

1040. Have you got the green beans for the beef?

1041. Yes, I do, Chef. Right here.

1042. Once Nilka left, everything calmed down.

1043. Everything went perfect.

1044. Hot, coming down.

1045. - Hot, coming down. - Backs, backs.

1046. Service, please.

1047. Good job, guys.

1048. Hallelujah! Finally!

1049. May they all enjoy the theater in peace.

1050. Dinner service has been completed

1051. with time to spare, and the diners

1052. are off to the theater.

1053. But they aren't the only ones

1054. exiting Hell's Kitchen in a hurry.

1055. You know, and it hurts to get kicked out of here like this.

1056. It really, really does.

1057. I don't want to go home.

1058. I don't want to go home.

1059. I don't.

1060. I came here for a reason.

1061. I was hoping I'd get to see you again.

1062. Listen, I just want to say

1063. you walk out of here with your head up high.

1064. Sadly, you're not ready to take that head chef's job.

1065. But what you are ready to continue doing

1066. is following your dream. Don't stop that.

1067. I'm not, I'm just so mad at myself

1068. 'cause I think I was ready.

1069. But tonight proved otherwise, so...

1070. Listen, you have done phenomenally well.

1071. I've never come out here to say good-bye,

1072. but I wanted to make the effort to say good-bye

1073. and say thank you.

1074. - Thank you. - Come here.

1075. Thanks.

1076. Yes? Now.

1077. - One more thing. - Yes, Chef?

1078. Your jacket.

1079. No, do I have to?

1080. - Your jacket. - I don't want to.

1081. Thank you, Chef.

1082. - Good night, madame. - Good night.

1083. Well done.

1084. Head up high.

1085. I will, always.

1086. That may have been your best service ever.

1087. We set the goal of two and a half hours.

1088. You accomplished that in two hours and fifteen.

1089. But why now?

1090. - Ed. - Yes, Chef?

1091. Shaky start

1092. because you were panicking.

1093. However, second table, third table, you fought back.

1094. That, for me, is the most important part.

1095. - Jason. - Yes, Chef?

1096. You nailed every piece of meat on there tonight.

1097. And for the first time in Hell's Kitchen,

1098. you came out of your shell.

1099. You busted your ass and you led.

1100. Go up to the dorms

1101. and come to a consensus

1102. on which two people are up for elimination.

1103. Go upstairs, guys. Start talking.

1104. Yes, Chef.

1105. Wow.

1106. That was crazy.

1107. It was sad to see Nilka go.

1108. And it sucks that we have to pick two people

1109. on a night like tonight.

1110. Okay, so what's your pick?

1111. I guess I would have to go with Ed and Autumn.

1112. What?

1113. You know, I was one person on the garnish station tonight.

1114. And I think anybody on that station would get out-weeded,

1115. you know, where

1116. they had to fight back or show Chef they could fight back.

1117. Oh, I think I should stay for fighting back

1118. and going 110%.

1119. But I think some people might

1120. be scared of me.

1121. The only obvious thing to me

1122. is to go bigger picture.

1123. And if it's bigger picture, I would pick Autumn.

1124. I mean, if you look at the big picture,

1125. I would vote for Ed and Jason.

1126. That would be my vote.

1127. Damn.

1128. Yeah, that's my vote.

1129. Why did I get voted and not Ben or Jay or Holli?

1130. - Why me? I want to know. - Um, okay, so...

1131. It was just... I think one ticket dragged.

1132. - From me? - But... yeah.

1133. - The one... - A ticket dragged?

1134. - Oh, no. Not tonight. - Nothing dr... From me?

1135. I don't have...

1136. No, there was... I dragged nothing tonight.

1137. No matter what I do,

1138. these people still on my damn back

1139. like I got some big-ass target.

1140. It's a tough one.

1141. If it was Nilka here,

1142. it would be a no-brainer, you know?

1143. Okay.

1144. Have you come to a consensus?

1145. Yes, Chef.

1146. Benjamin.

1147. First nominee and why, please.

1148. First nominee was Ed, Chef.

1149. - Ed. Why? - It was a very difficult decision.

1150. He's a good cook,

1151. but he kind of slowed down service

1152. and he needed help on his station, Chef.

1153. Second nominee and why, please.

1154. Second nomination, Chef, is...

1155. After cooking together as one team

1156. for the first time,

1157. the remaining chefs had another task

1158. to complete together...

1159. nominating two people for elimination.

1160. The first is Ed.

1161. Benjamin, second nominee and why, please.

1162. Second nominee is Autumn, Chef.

1163. Autumn.

1164. Not again.

1165. Why Autumn?

1166. She is the weakest cook on the team...

1167. of both teams.

1168. Ed, Autumn, step forward.

1169. Ed,

1170. why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

1171. I'm not gonna give up.

1172. Uh, I keep battling back like you said.

1173. - Yeah. - And I will continue to do that.

1174. I will keep working hard, I will keep working

1175. at a fast pace, and I will keep communicating

1176. just like I do every night in the kitchens.

1177. You were standing in front of two of your pans

1178. that had burned dry.

1179. The pans were on the verge of having a hole in them.

1180. The fact that you were standing

1181. three inches in front of it,

1182. you didn't notice it...

1183. careless.

1184. Autumn... Truthfully,

1185. why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

1186. Tonight, I did a good job,

1187. and I showed that I can bounce back.

1188. - I can work. - But maybe too late.

1189. Okay.

1190. Right. My decision is...

1191. Ed.

1192. Take off your jacket.

1193. - Now, listen. - Absolutely.

1194. I've got one thing to say to you.

1195. Congratulations. You're in the final six.

1196. - Well done. - Thank you, Chef.

1197. Thank you very much, Chef.

1198. - Get back in line. - Are you kidding me?

1199. Autumn, take your jacket off.

1200. Congratulations.

1201. You're in the final six.

1202. Hey, madame. Hello.

1203. Let's go, beautiful eyes. Holli, let's go.

1204. Jacket, please.

1205. - Well done. - Thank you.

1206. Well done, well done.

1207. Hey, Mr. Happy Face. Big boy.

1208. Get your ass down here. Congratulations.

1209. No, no. Hey, Blue Jay.

1210. - Get back in there. You're the happy face. - out of the way.

1211. Well done.

1212. Well done.

1213. Benjamin, congratulations. You made the final six.

1214. - Thank you, Chef. - Well done.

1215. Let's go, Blue Jay.

1216. - Congratulations. - Thank you, Chef.

1217. - Yes, hey? Well done. Ed. - Thank you. Thank you.

1218. - Yes, Chef? - Gotcha.

1219. Listen to me.

1220. The challenges are gonna get harder.

1221. The competition's gonna get more fierce.

1222. And look at you... one dynamic team.

1223. - Well done. - Thank you, Chef.

1224. Now off upstairs.

1225. We're six people,

1226. and it's, uh, time to bring out the claws.

1227. Ed, Autumn, and Jay

1228. underestimating me?

1229. That's a problem.

1230. I'm not being arrogant, but I'm gonna promise you,

1231. I'm gonna win.

1232. Now it's every man for himself.

1233. You have one bad service,

1234. there's a real good chance you're going home.

1235. So I mean, I need to strive for perfection

1236. from here on out.

1237. Tonight was the best service

1238. we've had in Hell's Kitchen,

1239. and that's why I rewarded the final six.

1240. Now, only the best chefs remain.

1241. Nilka was clearly out of her depth.

1242. Next time, on Hell's Kitchen...

1243. Somebody here is going to be the chef at the Savoy in London.

1244. the chefs think that they are the final six.

1245. I feel like I need to almost start talking with a British accent.

1246. But Chef Ramsay brings some fresh blood into the competition.

1247. I thought I was gonna start crying.

1248. It just sucks. It just...

1249. With the pressure to stand out more intense than ever...

1250. Time's running out, guys. For everybody.

1251. a difficult dish on the menu has the chefs totally confused.

1252. - Tomato basil salad... - He has so many little components...

1253. I don't even know how we'll do it. Ridiculous.

1254. - Stop playin'. - During dinner service...

1255. - How long, then? - The chefs have a total meltdown.

1256. - Why aren't they cooking? - The g... Oh, for the Wellington?

1257. Oh my God. It was ridiculous.

1258. Pretty soon Chef's gonna kick us all out of the kitchen.

1259. Will any of the final six survive?

1260. No one gives a!

1261. Find out what happens on an episode you definitely don't want to miss.

1262. You ruined my night. Get out!
