01x06 - Day 6

[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously,

on "Hell's Kitchen."

We're double booked.

NARRATOR: For the first time

there were two dinner seatings.

One team will cook,

and one team will serve.

Then we'll turn around.

NARRATOR: The teams alternated

working in the kitchen.

No no, dirty bowl.

Just one [inaudible]

from you, Ralph.

Nothing f*cking more.

NARRATOR: And working on

the dining room floor.

Stop touching yourself.

NARRATOR: After

Chef Ramsey declared

Michael the best of the

worst on the losing red team.

I want you to nominate two

of your team for elimination.

NARRATOR: Chris let

his teammate Michael

know which way he would go.

But Michael had another plan.

My second nominee is Chris.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsey had to

choose between a mother of six,

and an experienced Chef.

Chris give me your jacket.

You're leaving "Hell's Kitchen."

NARRATOR: By eliminating

Chris, Chef Ramsay

sent a message that

growth and desire are

more important than experience.

GORDON RAMSAY: He's been

telling the world that he

has that amount of knowledge.

Then he should have

been times better.

NARRATOR: And now, the

continuation of "Hell's

Kitchen."

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay's

unexpected removal of Chris

has left Elsie in shock.

Yes.

You're gorgeous, you're

my other little mama.

Seriously.

I'm so happy for you--

I'm so proud of you.

I don't think Chris should

have been eliminated tonight.

It probably should have been me.

You deserve to be here.

Seriously.

ELSIE: But at the end

of the day Chef Ramsey

likes what he sees

in certain people,

and I guess tonight it was me.

Oh my god.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsey

has made it clear

that he has higher expectations

of the more experienced chefs.

And while this is

good news for most,

it's sobering news for

kitchen veteran, Ralph.

Wow.

I really didn't think

that Chef would choose him.

You know, and I didn't want

to put Jimmy out of the line

either.

He works too hard.

Well, I appreciate that.

MICHAEL: My decision to put

Chris up there was definitely

like drawing first blood.

I'm really trying to

be this black widow.

This is a competition no

matter what, you know,

And that's one less

competitor that I have.

Jimmy, you think I made

the wrong decision?

No.

You want this?

JIMMY: Yeah, I do.

- All right.

Wow.

Chris being eliminated

tonight was a surprise.

I'm going to try and make sure

that that doesn't happen to me.

I'll tell you what.

tonight feels the best

I've felt to be here.

RALPH: Wow.

JESSICA: I think,

for a little while,

I thought Michael, and

Chris, and Ralph were

definitely the people to win.

But now, you know, I

don't know about that.

So I think that was definitely

a wake up call to Ralph.

RALPH: I learned a very

important lesson today.

[music playing]

Last night wasn't that good.

I really thought the experienced

chefs were going to shine.

Clearly last night Chris didn't,

and that's why he's gone.

Elsie.

Yes, Chef.

You deserve to be here.

- Thank you.

- Ralph.

Yes, Chef.

For someone with your

experience I thought

a little bit more refined--

a little bit more on the

ball, and less sloppy.

And when you go to the plate,

don't f*cking smash it.

RALPH: Yes, Chef.

Slightly surprised,

and somewhat

pissed off at your performance.

I didn't mean to piss

you off, Chef I'm going

to do the best I can for you.

And now that Chris is not

here do you get the message?

Loud and clear.

GORDON RAMSAY: OK.

Our next challenge.

We're going to do

some blind tasting.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsey

believes a Master Chef should

have an impeccable palate.

You'll be identifying flavors,

which is absolutely crucial.

NARRATOR: So today

he's challenging

them to a blind taste test.

Each person will taste

four different foods,

and the team that gets

the most right wins.

You will be blindfolded--

you'll have a headset on--

so you really will be

depending on your taste buds.

The winning team for the

challenge is coming out with me

this afternoon.

The losing team, as always, the

consequences are pretty rough.

Remember last night,

all those pots and pans?

They need a bloody good clean,

and that's just the first part.

Let's go.

Blindfold on please.

NARRATOR: First up-- office

assistant, Andrew, and

purchasing supervisor, Jimmy.

Andrew, can you hear me?

You jumped up little

politician, can you hear me?

[laughter]

Oh, good, that's working.

Jimmy, what's it

like to be slim?

He definitely can't hear me.

OK, good.

Ready.

ANDREW: You can't

hear anything--

you can't see anything.

Gordon taps you and

you got to, you know,

open wide, which in and of

itself is a scary thought.

GORDON RAMSAY: Jimmy,

don't eat my fingers.

OK.

They both have got

chicken in their mouths.

Easy, yeah?

Straightforward.

You ready?

Feels like chicken,

tastes like chicken.

GORDON RAMSAY: So, what is it?

Chicken.

GORDON RAMSAY: Mhm.

What was that?

It tasted like

a meat tortellini

with bit of sweated

onions in the background.

GORDON RAMSAY: Jesus, Christ.

[laughter]

That was chicken, you twat.

OK.

Tortellini-- where the f*ck

did he get tortellini from?

NARRATOR: Both Jimmy and

Andrew miss the next two.

Now it's time for their

fourth and final taste.

GORDON RAMSAY: That

was white radish.

Parsnip.

Hmm.

Radish, Chef?

GORDON RAMSAY:

Well done, big boy.

You got it right.

JIMMY: Thank you, Chef.

Pretty crap.

Ladies, step forward, please.

NARRATOR: In round two,

with four brand new foods,

it's up to headhunter

Jessica, and mother of six,

Elsie, to break the tie.

GORDON RAMSAY: Open wide.

Ox tongue, mm.

Pork.

Pork.

Pork?

GORDON RAMSAY: Wrong animal.

This one now, scallops.

Open wide.

Good.

Liver.

Liver!

Baby scallop?

GORDON RAMSAY: Baby scallop.

Well done.

Mm.

GORDON RAMSAY: Interesting.

Caesar salad dressing.

Here we go.

Up.

Vinaigrette.

Caesar salad dressing?

Well done.

ELSIE: The Caesar dressing.

I tasted the anchovies

in it, which I hate.

I knew exactly what it was.

GORDON RAMSAY: Last one.

Mm.

Up.

So, finally what was it?

Beef, out of the wellingtons.

Filet mignon.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Filet mignon, hmm.

Ground beef or burger?

Well done.

It was a burger.

NARRATOR: Elsie was near perfect

giving the red team a huge lead

by identifying three right.

Bringing the score to four

for red, and one for blue.

Michael, are you ready?

Yes, Chef.

Ralph, are you ready?

Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: And now

the final round

the two professional

chefs, Ralph and Michael.

GORDON RAMSAY: First

one is veal sweetbreads

taken from the pancreas.

So, what is it Ralph?

Beef with fat, Chef?

GORDON RAMSAY: Sweetbreads.

Ah.

That's beef and fatty.

GORDON RAMSAY: Red team,

if Michael gets this right,

the game is over and the

red team win the challenge.

[clap]

GORDON RAMSAY: What was that?

Oh, something awful, man.

Something from a cow that

I shouldn't be eating.

It tastes like a brain

or something like that.

I don't know.

Blue team.

they're still alive.

NARRATOR: With only

three ingredients left,

and the blue team

down by three, Ralph

can't afford to miss even one.

The pressure's

on Ralph right now.

If he gets this one

wrong it's over.

This next one is a spinach leaf.

Ralph has the most

educated palate--

He told me two days ago

he was the strongest cook.

This should be water off

a duck's back for Ralph.

Open wide.

[music playing]

Come on, Ralph--

it's only a leaf.

What was that?

Romaine lettuce, Chef?

Oh, lettuce!

ANDREW: I'm a

little disappointed

that Ralph didn't get spinach.

I got to tell you

the honest truth--

Ralph, you should

have gotten spinach.

OK.

Headphones off-- headphones off.

That was baby spinach.

Red team you're the winners--

well done, red team.

Blue team you lost.

Ralph.

RALPH: Yes, Chef.

Another disappointment.

Oh.

GORDON RAMSAY: Remember last

night, all those pots and pans?

They need a really good clean.

Red team, go and get changed.

RALPH: Unfortunately I was

sitting there this morning,

drinking coffee,

smoking cigarettes,

and I popped a cough

drop in my mouth

as we walked into the kitchen.

I wish I had skipped

all three of those.

JESSICA: We just love

to take a licking.

NARRATOR: As always, the

punishment for losing

is a harsh one--

an entire restaurant's

worth of dishes to clean.

RALPH: Every time.

JESSICA: This is the worst.

RALPH: Every time.

JESSICA: This sucks.

ANDREW: I got to

tell you I'm bitter

and pissed off right now.

We haven't had any

time with Ramsay.

I would like to put on a

suit and enjoy his company.

Oh come on, you

f*cking gross sons of--

but no, I'm going to

be sitting in a dish

washing station for the next

four hours doing this crap.

That's nasty.

[music playing]

Oh, my God.

I so needed today--

so needed today.

You know, when I saw some

of the things getting

served it had worried

me a little bit.

But I nailed it--

I was so sure of all the

three that I got right

and that was a great feeling.

I guess I got a good palate.

Yeah, you do.

ELSIE: Ralph has

got to be pissed.

Ralph has got to be pissed.

JIMMY: Yeah.

But as Ralphie says, to the

victors goes the spoils.

[inaudible]

JESSICA: What's that?

RALPH: Kick somebody's ass.

ELSIE: Poor blue team.

[music playing]

f*ck them.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: A break from the

brutal pace of "Hell's Kitchen"

is a coveted reward.

And for the red team

winning today's challenge

means an exclusive wine

tasting with Chef Ramsay.

Nice to get out, huh?

GROUP: Yes.

GORDON RAMSAY: We're

here today to taste

some really nice wines.

Some beautiful wines--

refined, exquisite.

[music playing]

GORDON RAMSAY: Here's to the

blue team-- scrubbing pans,

and pots.

[inaudible] Well done.

JIMMY: They've been nothing but

good sports about it though.

f*cking red team.

JESSICA: f*cking Elsie.

[laughter]

ANDREW: Don't go to

sleep tonight Els.

JESSICA: Sweet dreams, honey.

This sucks, this is

a bad punishment.

RALPH: Could be worse.

GORDON RAMSAY: Just

look at the color.

JIMMY: Nice, rich, dark cherry.

GORDON RAMSAY: [inaudible]

Jimmy, you're not

supposed to drink all of it.

JIMMY: Why not?

And Jim, can I just

teach you something?

JIMMY: Yes, sir.

I'm going to teach

you how to sip wine.

JIMMY: OK.

- OK.

So you go like this.

[sipping]

Show me.

[sipping]

GORDON RAMSAY: That's--

[laughter]

Suck your lips together.

Here we go.

[inaudible] f*cking, man.

[laughter]

JIMMY: I don't know

much about wine--

I know quite a bit about beer.

Forget it.

[patting]

It was hilarious, because

there's just nothing

refined about Jimmy.

You got a doggy

bag for that one?

NARRATOR: The red team

returns after enjoying

the sweet taste of success

to find the blue team

right where they left them--

still bitter.

RALPH: What's up guys?

Where did you go?

ELSIE: We had a lot of wine.

JESSICA: Nice.

RALPH: Well, we're glad

you had a nice time.

JESSICA: See you guys later.

ELSIE: Thanks, guys.

RALPH: Don't be scared to

pitch in the dorms over there.

The punishments are

definitely getting worse.

"Hell's Kitchen" is becoming--

it's becoming more Hell.

f*ck.

[phone ringing]

[music playing]

JIMMY: Hi, it's Jimmy.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Jimmy, it's Gordon.

You're going to be

in the dining room.

See you in minutes

with your jackets on.

OK.

Bye.

Yo!

Listen up.

He said make sure

everybody is in full gear.

RALPH: Who knows what

we're going to do?

ELSIE: So why are

we getting dressed?

JIMMY: I don't know--

he said pants, chef

jacket, everything.

MICHAEL: We walked out there not

knowing what's going to happen,

you know.

One of us could be going

home for all I know.

It could be another

challenge-- it

could could be service tonight.

You know, we just don't

know with "Hell's Kitchen."

[music playing]

I've got a huge announcement.

Tomorrow night, for the first

time ever in "Hell's Kitchen,"

the menu is yours.

So I want you to take

everything you've learned

and come up with your menu.

Three starters, three main

courses, and three desserts.

Those menus will

go head to head--

red team versus the blue

team, and the customers

will decide which one

they're going to eat.

Let's go.

NARRATOR: With the teams

designing their own menus

for tomorrow night's

dinner service,

this is their biggest

responsibility yet.

Do one of you guys

have a great recipe?

So how about paella?

We could do a pan-seared duck

breast with pineapple slices.

OK.

I would like to

make my paella.

MICHAEL: We just

wanted to make sure

that the menu definitely

reflected the core

of what the person wanted.

How about scallops?

Oh yeah, scallops are great.

I do like the scallops

wrapped in bacon.

RALPH: Dessert.

We're doing creme brulee.

We could also do-- you know

what we could do we could

do like a chocolate cheesecake.

No, don't do a

chocolate cheesecake.

I've got a great flour

less chocolate cake recipe.

It's simple, it's

easy, it's foolproof.

ANDREW: I've got my main.

JESSICA: What are you thinking?

It's a braised salmon.

I think-- I'm not

big on salmon myself.

I think halibut is

great, because I

think people like halibut.

ANDREW: This was supposed

to be a group effort,

but it was more of a group

effort underneath Ralph.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: The

restaurant is opening

tonight for the sixth time.

With brand new menus,

the teams are getting

an early start on their prep.

Oh, OK.

Don't tighten, it's

too tight, because it'll

pinch right through it.

NARRATOR: While Michael

shows Elsie the ropes,

Ralph is teaching

Andrew the finer points

of poaching halibut.

Going to go into a saute pan.

Right.

I was trying to keep a firm

handle on what was going on.

Right now we can't

afford any mistakes.

You're not going to

poach it in that-- you're

going to poach it in a pan.

You don't poach the fish

in something that big.

Because you're not gonna

take me down tonight.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: It's a short

time before dinner service.

And although Chef Ramsay has

given control of the menu

to the aspiring chefs

it's still his reputation

that brings the customers in.

Seafood paella-- no need

to ask who's doing that one.

I put that in the

rice to season it.

GORDON RAMSAY: The biggest

worry about the paella

that I have is just

everything overcooking--

the rice especially.

Right, so you have to

control that nicely.

The red team's got a

very ambitious menu.

The disaster can be

cooking the scallops.

And they seem not completely

set, but they're on their way.

Lemongrass poached halibut.

Can I talk to you

about it, Andrew?

We have [inaudible],, which

we added some lemongrass

and some cilantro to.

And we cooked it

down a little bit.

We're going to poach it in that.

It's still very thin though

at the moment, isn't it?

Yeah?

And this is the

most concentrated

I've seen any of

them, which is always

a good sign before service.

Red team, come here,

over here, please.

Blue team, quick, now.

For the first time ever

in "Hell's Kitchen,"

your menus are

going head to head.

So are you going to be judged on

the amount of orders that come

through to the blue team

and the amount of orders

that come through

to the red team.

And depending on what they say,

how they enjoy the experience,

that will determine our

winning team this evening.

Just remember one crucial

thing, and it may be your menus,

but it's my standards,

and this is my restaurant.

Do you understand that?

Yes, chef.

Blue team, I've

just remembered.

You found it very hard yesterday

to unlock those taste buds.

Romaine lettuce, chef?

Oh, lettuce.

Second part of your

punishment, I'm locking

your storeroom this evening.

I think your baby chickens

are in there, is that right?

Oh, shit.

I'll give you the combination.

C Y.

Log it.

I'm saying it once.

Now our storeroom is locked.

It's like having one

arm tied behind my back.

Hopefully they don't

order a lot of chicken.

Y.

Whoa.

First try.

- Success.

- What do you want?

Give me the tape.

Give me the masking tape.

- There's nothing--

Just give me the masking tape.

Oh, I got you.

What are you doing?

Get that f*cking

tape off of there.

And get the f*ck back in there.

You think I'm f*cking stupid?

I'm not stupid like you.

Come here.

You f*cking guys f*cked it up.

You get a punishment.

You don't f*cking rig

it so it works for you.

You blew it.

Pay the consequences, got it?

Yes, chef.

Why don't you try being

a serious of these people

are on your team

instead of being a jerk.

Chef, I'm going to bring

those down right now.

No you're not, because

Andrew just ruined it for you

because he was taping the door.

When you need them, you got

to come in here and get one.

NARRATOR: With the

debut of two new menus,

it's almost as if

it's opening night.

Ladies, welcome

to the restaurant.

Jimmy, are you ready?

I'm very ready, Chef.

NARRATOR: Tonight, the customers

have the contestants fate

in their hands, literally.

You have two menus to go from.

Do we choose from either

the blue or the red?

Or the red.

But your starter, main course,

and dessert has to match.

No mixing and matching.

I got you.

OK, that's fine.

Thank you.

That looks delicious.

NARRATOR: The red menu

features Jimmy's roasted duck

breast, Michael's filet mignon,

and Elsie's traditional paella.

The blue menu includes

Ralph's mushroom agnolotti,

Ralph's grilled New

York sirloin steak,

Ralph's lemongrass poached

halibut, and Ralph's

flourless chocolate cake.

[inaudible]?

No, I think I'll

do the red menu.

The red menu.

Perfect.

I'm going to go

with the blue menu.

I'd like to choose

from the red menu.

NARRATOR: Tonight, Chef

Ramsay is keeping score.

He will be judging them

on not just quantity,

but quality and speed.

You put up that,

the scallop, Jimmy?

NARRATOR: Red team is ready

with their first order.

Jimmy is showing

he has the speed--

Jimmy, that's

undercooked there.

That's undercooked?

Yes, it's undercooked.

NARRATOR: --but unfortunately

not the quality.

Now don't f*cking just

stand there like some big,

f*cking [inaudible] shit.

Touch the scallop.

Go.

Go, please.

Away.

I got scallop.

Come on, Jimmy.

Scallop is way undercooked.

[inaudible], Jimmy.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile,

the blue team is running

into some trouble of their own.

- So sorry.

Go, go, go, go, go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

One pear salad,

one bisque away.

Four minutes on our plate.

Yes, chef.

Andrew?

Andrew, can I have an answer?

Pear salad, lobster

bisque, where is he?

He's in the store room, chef.

Yeah, that's my four

minutes, not his seven.

Yeah, chef.

Four minutes,

Andrew, get on that.

- I heard that.

- Two pear salad I'm waiting on.

seconds, chef.

Oh, come on,

f*ck off with you.

NARRATOR: It's minutes

into dinner service,

and with the backup

in the red kitchen,

and appetizers flying

out of the blue kitchen,

customers sitting

at the same table

are having a completely

different dining experiences.

Girl's got the blue one.

Blue kitchen's

doing a better job.

Sorry, guys.

Am I flaunting it by

eating in front of you?

NARRATOR: The blue team

has designed a menu that

has allowed them a fast start.

But there's a problem

with one of their dishes,

and it's now being returned to

the kitchen by Jean Philippe.

Yes, there was

a hair in there.

Come here.

Jessica, come here.

A customer just complained

of hair in the agnolotti.

What else?

That's it?

Yep.

That's not my hair, chef.

No, listen, I'm not here

to find out who's it is.

Did you hear what the

customer feedback is?

- Yes, chef.

- Understand it and f*ck off.

Go.

What do you want me to do,

not say anything to you?

They found a hair

in the agnolotti.

I'm not asking is it your hair.

They found a hair in your food.

Understand what I'm saying.

Yes, chef.

And don't f*cking

start arguing.

NARRATOR: Back in

the red kitchen,

Jimmy's already struck

out with one scallop,

and now he's back

at the hot plate.

Jimmy, the scallop's

overcooked now.

What's happening now?

It's scorching.

Everything's scorching.

Nicely it nicely, and you put

it in the oven to finish, yes?

I'm not serving that, OK?

Yes, chef.

When Jimmy couldn't

pump out those scallops,

I was getting a

little pissed off.

It's like we've gone

over this times.

It's really simple.

You know what?

I can cook scallops

from now on, Jimmy.

I'll pass them over

to you when they're

ready to go in the oven.

It's not cooking, man.

I know.

Can I get a plate

for a scallop, please?

Right, that's better.

Let's go.

Three scallops, table .

Gently let's go.

Go, please.

, go, please.

NARRATOR: An hour into

dinner service, Michael

has put an end to

the scallop dilemma

and completed most

of the appetizers.

It looks absolutely delicious.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, the blue

team is off to the best start

that they've ever had.

Halibut coming.

Halibut coming.

NARRATOR: Andrew is bringing

his first main courses

up to the hotplate.

And things could look better.

Pretty good start.

Hello?

- Already on top of it.

- Andrew?

Yes.

- Just come here a minute.

- I'm [inaudible].

Yeah, Andrew?

Andrew, come here a minute,

and touch those bowels.

I've now got stone

cold f*cking bowls.

I want the whole

lot f*cking dressed.

I want them f*cking pipping hot.

I'm going to-- stop

there, young man.

Why were you serving food on

stone cold plates, Andrew?

NARRATOR: Andrew broke one of

Chef Ramsay's most basic rules.

In his restaurants, you only

serve hot food on hot plates.

So you cook it to perfection

and you choose to serve it

on a stone cold plate.

Unbelievable.

Yes, what we need to do right

now is make up for Andrew.

Andrew, what can

I help you with.

What do you need?

Come on.

I can't even dress

them quick enough.

It's It's OK.

It's OK.

Good, well

they're f*cking cold

by the time I even dress them.

All right, well, what

are you dressing them with?

I need to pour

this sauce on it.

- This sauce?

- Yes.

What do you need?

Right here?

- Pour it.

- Pour it on?

Pour it on, Jess, go.

On all of them?

Yes.

Halibut [inaudible]

coming now, please.

Coming chef.

Keep it cool, calm,

cool, collected, all right?

No worries, Andrew.

Will you clear the plate?

Have you any idea where

the rest of the table went?

They went out, chef.

Yeah, just touch

that plate for me.

Hello, young man?

Just touch that plate for me.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, there you go.

Go, table .

Go.

NARRATOR: It's an hour and

a half into dinner service.

And all the tickets are in.

The blue team has won

the numbers game by .

But quality and speed are

most important to Chef Ramsay.

How's your main course like?

Was it worth it?

Mine is a little overcooked

and it's a little soupy.

A little overcooked?

But yours is fine?

But the fish is a

little overcooked.

Let me pull them for you.

Go.

Go.

All of the halibut, which

we served on this table,

they're all overcooked, chef.

Andrew, [inaudible]

plate, please.

Jean Philippe just explained

to both Andrew and Ralph

the f*cking problem

with the halibut, yes?

Yeah, the fish overcooked

and no flavor whatsoever.

Tasteless.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile,

the red kitchen

is hitting their stride.

Michael is sending out their

main courses, filet mignon

and roasted duck breast.

There you go.

, go.

NARRATOR: The red

team's food is going

over well with the customers.

Wow, that's great.

NARRATOR: Elsie finally gets

an order for her specialty.

One vichyssoise, one scallops.

Main course, one paella,

one filet mignon.

Dessert, one lemon and

cranberry, one chocolate tart,

all red team.

I got a paella.

Thank you.

Elsie's paella is one of her

children's favorite dishes,

and she's hoping the diners

will feel the same way.

- Paella looks good.

- Let's go.

Paella filet we go with, yes?

Paella?

Paella, yep, over here.

Very nice, [inaudible]

Elsie, yes?

He liked my Paella.

Go, pick up, please, table .

Let's hope the

customer likes it, right?

The customer is going

to love your paella.

Seafood on top of

rice is what it is.

Well, what's the seasoning?

What are you tasting?

NARRATOR: As of right

now, Elsie's kids

are still the only ones

who like her paella.

It's three hours into dinner

service and a table of two as

ordered from both menus.

The red kitchen main

course is ready.

And all Chef Ramsay needs

is Andrew's halibut.

I'm not waiting, Andrew.

f*ck you.

Go, , go.

I'm not slowing

down anymore now.

That's it.

No chance.

I have a slight little

problem with the halibut,

but it shouldn't be too long.

OK.

Thank you for your patience.

I'll sit here

and watch you eat.

You're missing out.

Service, five covers.

Don't you dare.

Don't you f*cking dare.

Five covers, table one.

One pear salad, one agnolotti.

Main course, one

chicken, one halibut.

Desserts, pick up, please.

- Yes, chef.

Can you not just see, Andrew,

right now what's going on?

While I'm talking out,

and reading an order out,

let me read the order out, then

you say what is the matter.

I need six minutes on the

hotplate for the halibut.

They're not cooking fast enough.

And I don't want to

give you raw fish, chef.

- Hello, young man?

- Yeah, chef?

I'm trying to lace

both kitchens together,

and this is turning

out to be a nightmare.

If I say it's three

minutes on the plate,

it's three minutes

on the plate, OK?

It wasn't difficult

to poach the halibut.

It just wasn't about to

get done in four minutes.

It just was-- it's

not chemically

possible to cook that halibut

in four minutes, bottom line.

Science doesn't allow it.

Would you like some

red steak while you're

waiting for your blue halibut?

- I would.

But you try it first,

see if you don't die.

Then I'll try it.

[inaudible]

Great.

Penne.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile,

Jimmy is trying to bounce

back with his penne pasta dish.

Is that it, Jimmy?

That's it One

Not one salt in there, yeah?

Not one ounce of salt in there.

Come on.

[inaudible]

That's boring.

Yes, chef.

We don't create these

menus to be boring.

Beautifully seasoned, yes?

It's very plain,

it's very simple,

but it has to be

seasoned beautifully.

Let's go.

Still waiting on the

scallops for table .

You're not waiting on the

penne on table , yes?

NARRATOR: With only minutes

left in the dinner service,

and the blue team

backed up with orders,

something in the dining

room catches Ralph's eye.

He's so cute.

Ralph, I know it's funny

they're laughing [inaudible]..

But just f*cking hear me

out, will you please, OK?

I've got nothing to

smile at right now.

I'm actually trying

to get this right.

The laughs, the jokes, the

applause, and this autograph,

we can f*cking take

care of after service.

f*cking around.

Was there a girl

sitting at the table?

Yeah, she waved.

I waved back and smiled.

The chef took offense to it.

No one seems to have

any urgency tonight.

I'm closing the

kitchen down, OK?

Blue team, switch it off.

I'm closing it down.

Yeah, hello?

Red team, yes, send that table

and f*cking turn the ovens off,

OK?

When are we going

to complete though?

- Huh?

- He still shut us down.

We had only four tickets left.

We could have got it--

Jimmy, if you could have

got those scallops out.

Scallops, man.

The ovens are f*cked up.

I wish Jimmy could cook

those scallops like I told him.

Hey, you didn't throw

away my little wontons

did you there, fatty?

What?

Yeah.

We didn't sell that much

in the bisque, did we?

I think we did OK.

We put out good food tonight.

I would have thought i

Was I think we put out the best

food we've put out since we've

been here, personally.

Well, there is some good news.

We served a lot of

food tonight, nearly

for the first time

in "Hell's Kitchen,"

a complete dining room.

Not bad.

Michael?

- Chef.

- Pretty outstanding.

Thanks, chef.

You're finally coming

out of Chris's shadow.

Thank you, chef.

Jimmy?

Yeah, chef?

You can't get out of those

starting blocks, can you?

Those first two or three

tables, pigboy, you're

like a pig in shit, aren't you?

Blue team?

Yes, chef?

Jessica?

Yeah, chef?

Not bad.

It was consistent.

It was consistently average.

Ralph?

Yeah, chef?

I know we're in Hollywood.

You're here to cook, not flirt.

f*ck me, big boy,

I turned around

and saw you standing

there waving

and laughing at customers.

And that got my

back up big time.

Well, he's so cute.

Let's see what the

customers have said.

First of all, red

team, diners

chose your menu, not

bad, but not really good.

Blue team, diners

chose your menu.

They said it was more appealing.

The losing team tonight

is the blue team.

I'll tell you why.

You were done in by

your fish, the most

popular item on your menu.

people ordered the halibut.

Six out of

returned the halibut.

That's not good.

I can guarantee all

those six customers will

not be back in your restaurant.

Whose idea was the halibut?

Come on, guys.

I wanted to do

a braised salmon

with a white wine reduction.

And it was Ralph's

suggestion not

to use salmon because

people might not like it.

Halibut might be better.

So it's Ralph's idea?

The dish would seem to be a

combination of everybody, chef.

Jessica?

Yeah, chef.

I didn't see you touch

a main course all night.

And the starters and the

desserts were highly rated.

Go back to your door

and nominate one person

from your team that you

think should be eliminated

from "Hell's Kitchen."

Yeah, chef.

Now.

Yeah, chef.

Chef Ramsay is

relying on Jessica

to sort out the halibut hell

caused by Ralph and Andrew.

Good job to you guys.

I can't believe we lost.

It really just sucks to

have to nominate one person.

There's just so many things

going on in my mind right now.

I didn't want the halibut.

I didn't want the poached.

Then why did you do it?

He didn't want

to do it braised.

That's your dish, man.

I got out--

I got outspoken man.

It's braised salmon.

I'm not big on salmon myself.

I think halibut is great because

I think people like halibut.

That wasn't my dish.

Ralph should have

said something then.

And I wasn't

going to say that.

I wasn't going to do

that in front of him,

in front of everybody like that.

I have more f*cking

integrity than that.

Ralph should have

opened his mouth.

But he didn't.

He didn't.

He sat there like a sissy.

He stood there, and

he said nothing,

because he knew he was wrong.

He knows.

He knows exactly.

He-- I'm sick of

taking these f*cking

falls for stupid ideas of his.

The bisque wasn't

even that good.

That really sucks that he

got dogged down for something

he didn't want to do.

Yeah.

It's f*cking not fair.

It is a shitty situation.

I know what I need to do.

It's just a great

opportunity for Jessica

to eliminate Ralph because

he competition for her also.

It's just time to see

if she'll do it or not.

I'm going to go talk

to Ralph, actually.

OK, so I'm going

to be straight

with you because I always am.

I'm not nominating you, and

that's the way it's to go.

But at the same time,

understand this.

I need to shine

a little bit too,

and I need to stand on my

own two feet, because I

if I can't do that,

then that's it.

Shit, I hope she makes

the right decision tonight.

You saw people think I'm

stupid for nominating him

because I can get you out

and then it would be f*cking

easier for me to beat Andrew.

But at the same time,

we're still a team.

I can't tell you how much

crap I take for the team.

I knew that halibut was going

to be a f*cking disaster.

I knew it.

Gave him an

opportunity to stand up

and take responsibility for what

happened and he did nothing.

He said nothing, OK?

I'm going to

give you a f*cking

hug because that's what I feel.

And I'd rather be

honest with you

and open and tell you

what I'm thinking,

and I want to do that.

Well, I appreciate it,

and let's see what happens.

But--

You ain't going

to put me up there?

No f*cking way, no.

I'm not going to hold back.

I'm not going to

walk off silently.

That's bullshit.

Ralph, he's my

teammate and a friend.

I look to him as a mentor.

But he's also my competition, so

that's what's hard about this.

Red team, nice

to be sitting down?

Yes, chef.

Jessica?

Yes, chef?

You're in a tough spot.

It's a very tough spot, chef.

Have you your nominee

for elimination?

I have.

Who is it and why?

So I'm my nominee

for tonight is Andrew.

He does seem to get in the

line of fire quite a bit,

and there just seems to be

something slightly missing.

At this point in the

game, chef, we're a team

but we need to stand

on our own two feet.

Interesting.

Thank you.

Andrew, step forward, please.

Jessica?

Yeah, chef.

While I respect your choice.

The decision is mine.

Ralph?

Yeah, chef.

Step forward.

Andrew?

Yeah, chef?

Why should you stay

in "Hell's Kitchen?"

I don't take

responsibility for that dish

and I can't walk out of

here for the wrong reasons.

You know what?

Andrew was responsible

for preparing a dish.

That halibut required three

ingredients to be spot on.

But I would think that

he would have cared more

about the dish

previous to service

than to figure it out during.

Well, I think it's

really important

that you both are

honest, because I'm

standing here f*cking confused.

Jess brought up a good

point of being a team player,

having a team, and

working within that team.

And I have to tell

you the honest truth,

that right now, I feel

like I'm on the Ralph team.

And that's not a good feeling

because I don't feel like I'm

able to put myself in there

and show myself and prove

it, because that wasn't me.

It wasn't mine.

It wasn't what I wanted, that

if I had served what I wanted,

you know what?

Jessica may not have had

to make that decision

whatsoever tonight.

Chef, I never asked

for it to become,

as Andrew says, Ralph's team.

However, the team

plead a burden of work

to be put on my shoulders.

I prepared the dishes

that I had to prepare

today, two of the appetizers,

two of the desserts.

I ex*cuted of the entrees.

I did my job, no

shortcuts, no crying,

just doing it like a pro.

I am strong in the kitchen,

stronger than Andrew,

and from there,

you make your call.

Can I say one for thing?

From the first day I

met you, Andrew, you're

not the kind of bigheaded

arrogant little twat

that liked to be steamrolled.

Now you're telling me

that Ralph manipulated

your dish into becoming

a poached halibut.

Chef, it's like I said.

Andrew, give me your jacket.

Take care.

You too.

Maybe I wasn't as

successful in the kitchen.

But I got to tell you, I think I

had the more integrity tonight.

I spoke for myself.

I stood up for myself.

And I said what

needed to be said.

That was tough.

That was bloody tough.

Be aware, Ralph,

you're not untouchable.

Sweet dreams.

I'm still here, and I'm

not leaving until it's over.

I'm here to win.

And I'm here to fight.

And if I need to

adjust, I'll adjust.

I didn't nominate Ralph

because he's taught me a lot.

He helps me every single day.

But I know he's

got his weaknesses,

and I can possibly beat him.

So I'm going to work

hard to do that.

It would have been really

great to have Ralph eliminated.

He definitely, this

whole time, has

been my biggest competition.

But I'm very confident

that I can take him.

So we're down

to the final five.

These are the best of the best.

And the cream is slowly

rising to the top.

But they really

now have to start

emerging as individual talent.

Andrew's going tonight

because he's out of his depth.

And I discovered a fake.

He can't cook.
