NARRATOR: Previously
on "Hell's Kitchen."
On the heels of
Chris's elimination,
Chef Ramsay sent a message
to Michael and Ralph,
the most experienced chefs.
With some of
your experience, I
thought it'd be a little bit
more refined and less sloppy.
NARRATOR: They will have
to do more to impress him.
And know that
Chris is not here.
Did you get the message?
- Loud and clear.
NARRATOR: Then, Chef Ramsay
gave the teams their biggest
responsibility yet.
The menu is yours.
NARRATOR: The red team
worked well together.
How about scallops?
Oh, yeah, scallops are great.
NARRATOR: While Ralph took
total control of the blue team.
I've got my main--
braised salmon.
I'm not big on salmon.
I think halibut's great.
NARRATOR: The menus were
new, but unfortunately,
the story was the same.
Scallop is way undercooked.
You blew it.
Pay the consequences.
That's not my hair, chef.
Do you know what
the feedback is?
Understand it and f*ck off.
NARRATOR: In the
red kitchen, Jimmy
struggled with the starters.
I'm not serving that.
NARRATOR: Causing tension
with him and Michael.
You didn't throw
away my little wontons
did you there, fatty?
NARRATOR: In the blue
kitchen, Andrew couldn't
deliver on Ralph's halibut.
Andrew!
Halibut!
Are they coming now, please?
It wasn't about to get
done in four minutes.
It's not technically possible.
This has turned out
to be a nightmare.
Switch it off.
I'm closing it down.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsey declared
the blue team the losers.
Jessica, nominate one person.
Ralph, I'm not nominating you.
NARRATOR: Jessica stuck to
her plan and nominated Andrew.
But Chef Ramsay had
a plan of his own.
- Ralph.
- Yes, Chef?
Step forward.
The The two stood their ground.
I don't take
responsibility for that dish.
Andrew was responsible for
preparing a dish, spot on.
That dish wasn't me.
It wasn't mine.
Andrew.
Give me your jacket.
But Ralph, you're
not untouchable.
NARRATOR: And now
the continuation
of "Hell's Kitchen."
On her second attempt
to get rid of Andrew,
Jessica finally succeeded,
but it was a close call.
I'm happy that you're here,
Ralph, genuinely and truly.
RALPH: I'm happy that I'm here,
just to be honest with you.
I know you are.
Ralph and I have always
had a good relationship.
We've been getting on
really, really well.
Yet, at the same time, I know
that he's my competition.
Just because you put Andrew up
there doesn't mean that's what
the decision was going to be.
I didn't make the stock,
I didn't burn the rice.
There wasn't anything
that he touched
that didn't turn to shit today.
Well, all I'm going to say is
it's wasn't about the halibut.
I mean, if we lost three
services and the guy's
been up three times,
do the math, man.
This is easy arithmetic, one,
two, three strikes, you're out.
Hey, Ralph.
You truly do deserve to be here.
You're a f*cking
amazing cook and you
teach me something every day.
Right back atcha, sweetheart.
So unfortunately, you know,
working hard and trying
to help people is
coming back to backfire
on me the last two days.
If Ralph would've been chosen
to go home, I would have been,
you know, really happy.
He's my number one concern
that I think about every day
when it comes to
winning this game.
So what have I learned?
Let somebody die?
But if you do try hard
to help somebody out,
you can get smacked for it.
I just want these days
to go by already, man.
I'm just so tired of this.
You know, I should just be
home with my son, man, just
going to work and, you know,
hanging out with my sisters.
I don't even want to look
at a pan, or a pot, nothing.
NARRATOR: With the realization
that they've made it
into the final
five, the chefs are
about to learn that the
competition is changing.
Look at you.
Five of your left.
It's becoming very clear
that soon, one of you
is going to win your
very own restaurant.
But now, your lives
in "Hell's Kitchen"
is about to change in a very
dramatic, significant way.
Because now, for
the first time ever,
you're competing head to head.
Ralph.
Yes, Chef?
Step forward, please.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Jacket.
We are no longer going
to be blue nor red team,
but we'll be all one
team wearing black.
Here's your jacket.
Well done.
RALPH (VOICEOVER): Our success
will depend on every individual
doing the right thing.
- Jimmy.
- Yes, Chef?
Step forward, big boy.
I've got here one,
amazing, clean jacket.
I'm only going to give it to
you if you promise to keep
those f*cking plates clean.
No more Dirty Bowl Jimmy.
Oh, no.
No, no.
Dirty Bowl.
- No more.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you all.
Congratulations.
You are "Hell's
Kitchen's" five finalists.
Change.
NARRATOR: "Hell's
Kitchen" has been
the most grueling
experience of their lives.
But for this brief moment,
it's time to celebrate.
Yay!
This is exciting!
Congrats, everyone.
Wow.
We're the five finalists!
The Fabulous Five!
I've earned my black stripes.
I'm a black belt now, see?
I'm feeling pretty
proud of myself.
I symbolized it as
a medal of survival.
Congratulations.
Congrats!
I didn't get no love.
Now it's down to
one final color,
one final series of challenges.
And there's going to
be one, final winner.
We're The Fabulous Five.
OK, guys.
This is your first
individual challenge.
Exciting challenge.
Table side.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay believes
serving table side adds
excitement to the
dining room and takes
pressure off the kitchen.
So here is my
exotic fruit flambe.
NARRATOR: For this first
individual competition,
the aspiring chefs must recreate
Chef Ramsay's flambe dessert.
Now, first thing,
nice hot pan.
We're going to make a caramel.
NARRATOR: Using simple
ingredients of sugar, butter,
fruit, and liqueur, a
flambe adds a bit of flair
to the dining room.
Most important,
burn off the alcohol.
OK, flambe, mambe.
I don't know what he
was talking about.
But I watched him intently.
And then we have an
exotic fruit flambe,
peaches, mango, and banana.
Straight forward?
Yes, Chef.
Now, the winner's
going to enjoy
a very exciting trip with
me out of "Hell's Kitchen."
And the losers, the
front of the house
needs a really good clean.
So you're going to
clean this afternoon.
Is that clear?
- Yes, Chef.
- Ready?
Steady?
Go.
NARRATOR: Each
contestant must load
ingredients onto their cart.
Jessica, Elsie, your cart.
NARRATOR: Return
to their station,
and prepare their dessert.
The Chef will judge
them on flavor,
taste, and presentation.
Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
It was definitely
helter-skelter,
like a bunch of people all
going after everything at once.
OK, guys, one minute's gone.
I've never, ever
flambeed before.
I'm just trying to
remember all the steps
that chef Ramsay demonstrated.
Elsie, have you
done this before?
No.
My sugar burnt right away.
And I had this black pan.
I'm just like, that sucks.
Just one minute to go.
Serve when you're ready.
Come on, Jimmy.
I've had problems with dirty
plates with the Chef Ramsay,
and I'm going to show
Gordon that I'm really
not just a Dirty Bowl Jimmy.
Jimmy.
seconds to go.
I started rushing, going
too fast, I dropped my mango,
and it splattered.
seconds to go.
Stop.
Put your flambe in front of
you, please, on the side.
OK.
Michael, how did you find that?
I dropped my mango
and made a big mess.
Caramel's nice, not too
much alcohol in there.
Unfortunately,
presentation-wise, it looks
like Jimmy's plate, dirty.
Chef Ramsey made some
comment comparing me to Jimmy
because his plates
were always so dirty.
I was embarrassed.
- Ralph.
- Yes, Chef?
Caramel's got a nice color.
Thank you.
- Very good.
- Thank you, Chef.
Unfortunately,
you forgot to dust
the fruit in the icing sugar.
Jessica.
Yes, chef?
Have you done this before?
Once or twice in my life.
Unfortunately, I've got
raw sugar on the banana.
So you didn't take the
caramel far enough.
Elsie, nice, light
color on the caramel.
Nice.
Caramel tasted really nice.
Clean plate.
Jimmy.
- Yes, Chef?
Have you made one
of these before?
- Never, Chef.
- Never.
First flambe made?
Yes, Chef.
Mango, warm in the center.
Nice.
Very nice, Jimmy.
Thank you, Chef.
It's a choice between
Jimmy's and Elsie's.
Well done.
The winner is Jimmy.
Wow.
Well done.
Well done.
Thank you, Chef.
I won the exotic fruit flambe.
It feels pretty damn good.
I'm really happy
because, you know,
I showed Chef Ramsay that,
on a one to one challenge,
I actually could do it.
Jimmy.
Yes, Chef?
Because you're the winner,
you get to pick one of them
to come with you.
Right now?
Right now.
I'm going to have
to go with Michael.
Me?
Ah.
CHEF RAMSAY: Fantastic.
The reason I picked
Michael to go with me
is because he nominated
Chris and Elsie.
Jimmy had such a wonderful
night and he's working so hard.
And I just couldn't put him
in that position tonight.
It really, really, really,
really pissed me off.
I was second in line and picks--
I've got to pick Michael.
Jimmy and Michael,
go and get changed.
The rest of you, as you
know, the dining room is
not as clean as it should be.
I really want it scrubbed
down, immaculate,
just like your kitchens.
Yes, Chef.
CHEF RAMSAY: Let's go.
Well, I lost again.
When am I going to
ever win anything?
You know, obviously,
I'm not going to win.
And I'm not ever going to get
that face time with the chef
that I would love.
So it sucks.
I'm a little bitter.
Make sure everything's
polished and it looks good.
Beautiful.
One chair down, to go.
NARRATOR: While Jessica, Ralph,
and Elsie are left behind
for a hellish task,
Jimmy and Michael
head off with Chef Ramsay for
a heavenly reward, a helicopter
tour of Los Angeles.
This is where we can live.
Jimmy, we've got houses right
next door to each other.
Heh.
Wow.
It was all unreal.
I've never been up in
a helicopter before
and to see it over such a
beautiful city was intense.
All right.
Did you like that, Jimmy?
[inaudible] not the same.
Why did Michael get to go?
Because Jimmy's an
ass kisser, that's why.
Yes, I'm my own
little Cinderella.
Is that JP?
We look down,
there, Jean Felipe's
down there with two waiters with
their champagne, and caviar,
and I felt like I was
at a movie or something.
Elsie, that's f*cked up
Jimmy didn't take you, man.
I'll be the first one
to admit, I'm pretty
pissed at that whole decision.
RALPH: And he gets in trouble
in service all the time,
you're in there helping him.
- He's a punk.
- Cheers, Jimmy.
- Cheers.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
This man just
said thank you to me
after he's called me a fat
f*ck God knows how many times.
It made me feel so good inside.
You're the man, Jimmy.
And it was a clean plate.
It was a clean plate.
Let's not get over excited.
It's only one plate.
Jimmy had the biggest
smile on his face.
And this was Jimmy's prize.
I mean, he deserved it.
Yes.
Nothing but a pleasure,
I'll tell you that much.
You, too, man.
You see, the way
I figure it, Jimmy
felt the need to invite
Michael because he
felt he owed him one.
Right.
What he doesn't know is
that Michael got rid of Chris
because Chris was
his biggest threat.
He didn't put Jimmy on the line
because Jimmy would have gone.
Right.
It's all strategy, people.
Jimmy.
Where'd you go?
- Helicopter ride.
You went up in a helicopter?
That's awesome.
I've always wanted that.
Then we headed downtown and
landed on one of the buildings
down there.
Stop it!
When we landed, they
were standing there holding
the caviar and champagne.
Ah!
And we got out and
we ate champagne.
We drank the whole
bottle in five minutes.
I thought it to be a
wasted trip on those two.
Maybe a little bit of
envy, but not like Elsie.
Do not touch me, Jimmy.
You gonna be a bitch
about me not choosing you,
I don't really care.
I mean, this is a competition.
This morning was
a little bit somber.
You know, nobody was really
speaking to each other.
It definitely is a little tense.
There is only going
to be one winner.
I mean, we all knew that,
but now that it comes down
to the last five, it's crazy.
Chef!
Good morning, chef.
Hey, guys.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay
has asked the sous chefs
to oversee preparations for
tonight's dinner service.
He was impressed with
the team's own dishes
from the previous dinner
service, so impressed,
he's serving them again.
All right, pretty
much what we did
was combine both teams'
menus from the other night
and fancied it up.
I'd be lying if I said that
I didn't feel a little lost.
But then, when, all was said
and done, all I got to do
is, you know, pull
aside Chef Mary Anne,
and just say, OK, just
tell me what I need to do.
Make sure to pull a tub of the
fish stock out of the freezer.
Michael, when you did the
filet, did you pan roast it
or did you do it on the grill?
Uh, I pan roasted, chef.
And I've got about a
zillion of them, too.
Awesome.
OK, guys, two things, please.
Tonight, I've decided
to serve the Caesar
salad and my exotic fruit flambe
in the dining room, table side.
One of you is going to be
responsible serving live,
in front of the customers.
Jimmy.
Yes, Chef?
You won the
challenge yesterday.
You were the best at table side.
So you are going to choose
one of your colleagues to go
to the dining room right now.
Jesus.
Sorry, who was that, Jesus?
No.
He didn't make it
to the final five.
Jimmy.
Yes, Chef?
Right now.
Since Elsie was the second
best, I'll choose her.
So you're choosing Elsie to go
to the dining room, table side?
Yes, Chef.
- Elsie.
- Yes?
You and I are
going to go throw
a quick Caesar salad together.
Yes.
This is Jimmy's strategy.
It could very well
be his way of saying,
let me put it out
there in the fire
so hopefully she'll
f*ck up and go.
I wouldn't put it past him.
Caesar salad.
Easy peasy.
So into a bowl.
Madam?
Little pepper.
Would you like some anchovies?
Yes.
Table side service,
it's a very classy thing
to do at the table.
And it brings that interaction
with the waiter or chef close
to the table.
Together, nice, onto the
plate, very straightforward,
Caesar salad.
NARRATOR: While Elsie gets the
finer points from Chef Ramsay,
the other four
aspiring chefs are
getting ready to try and
serve an entire dining room.
Don't let that lobster
get the best of you, Jimmy!
You want to try to sear
all your sides on this, Jess?
You're too hot.
It's only one kitchen
serving the entire dining room.
It's double the
workload, so it's going
to be a huge challenge tonight.
OK, guys, two seconds, please.
Just line up quickly.
Two seconds.
Minutes away from opening, yes?
Yes.
Scott and Mary Anne,
I want to see these guys
are like on their own.
Out of here.
Take the night off.
NARRATOR: This will
be the first time
that the aspiring
chefs will not have
the support of the sous
chefs during service.
No sous just in the kitchen?
That affects everybody.
You know, everybody's got to
stand on their own delivery
tonight.
Nobody's going to have any help.
Set up our sections.
Keep the place nice and clean.
Elsie, in the dining room.
Let's go.
Yes, Chef.
NARRATOR: "Hell's Kitchen" opens
for its seventh time with more
at stake than ever before.
Well, the good thing is
that you came early tonight.
It's always a good thing
to arrive early in "Hell's
Kitchen" because you
have a better chance
of being served at the end.
Elsie, who's a table side,
a Caesar salad, for starter,
one the flambe for desert.
[interposing voices]
Are we ready?
Yes, Chef!
Let's go, yes?
We're the best of the best.
We're down to a dynamic team.
And hopefully, in
a perfect world,
it will be nice to complete
a full night's service.
Can you help me?
I'm going to be a little
underwater over there.
I know.
Keep an eye on that
for me, will you?
Individually,
everybody has to perform.
If I can help
anybody else, great!
But if I can't, I just can't.
NARRATOR: Without the
sous chefs to rely on--
Cheers!
NARRATOR: The kitchen
is off to a good start
with Michael and Ralph
getting the first starters out
in record time.
Right behind you, Chef.
CHEF RAMSAY: Service, pick
up table nine, please.
On your right, Chef.
OK, let's go.
Oh my God, it's good.
NARRATOR: While the
customers are enjoying
the kitchen's appetizers,
Elsie is busy preparing
her first Caesar salad.
And do you know what I forgot?
My bowl.
That's just lovely.
I'll be right back.
Sorry.
Elsie, you should be in
the dining room right now.
Quick.
Quick as you can.
Just another crazy evening.
For you.
Enjoy.
I think that was the first
time she's ever made a salad.
Yummy.
Right now, four
minutes to the hot plate.
Four filet steaks away.
Three medium, one medium well.
Three medium, one medium well.
OK.
That's right.
Four minutes to the hot plate.
OK, Chef.
OK, everyone's wanting
meat tonight, yeah?
Yet, why aren't we
selling any fish?
Why?
Because--
That's what I'm telling you,
to sell some f*cking fish.
NARRATOR: With so many
orders for filet mignon,
Jessica, working on
the meat station,
will have her
biggest test to date.
Um, what do I
have to [inaudible]??
[inaudible]
Yes, Chef, I'm on it, Chef.
What do I have to finish my--
OK, we'll pass [inaudible].
There's an awful lot
of smoke in there, Scott.
Yeah.
It looks like
something's on fire.
NARRATOR: minutes
into service, food
is reaching the pass
faster than ever before.
Ralph, you're going to
start dressing as well, yes?
- Chef?
- I can't dress everything.
Do you understand?
- Yes, Chef.
I'm going to share the plate.
Being asked to join
Chef Ramsay at the pass
is a huge compliment for Ralph.
Now we're cooking
properly, yes?
All right, Jessica,
I'm concerned
about all these ducks going on.
Oh, for f*ck's sake.
Uh-oh.
OK, light's gone out.
Yeah, tough shit, yes?
Candles on the table,
nice and romantic.
And all those women out there
won't see their double chins.
I can't see.
What's going on
with the lights?
Hey, will you find
out where my balls are?
We're hauling ass,
and all of a sudden,
you know, the lights go out.
- We can work through the dark.
- Yes!
Just eat plenty of carrots.
Let's go.
MICHAEL (VOICEOVER):
And you know,
I didn't really even notice.
It didn't even faze me.
You really didn't look
like it didn't faze
anybody in the kitchen at all.
There we go.
[applause]
Away now, yes?
Three lobster, two
filet, one duck.
Just under four minutes
on the hot plate.
NARRATOR: Jimmy is trying to
balance halibut and lobster
on the fish station.
Halibut and lobster now.
Two minutes, Chef.
- [inaudible]?
- Yeah, it's right there.
And after that, I
need three filet, yes?
Four Four minutes,
five minutes, Chef.
Yeah, not even.
[inaudible]?
Here.
Where's the lobster?
I don't know.
Is the lobster on?
It was on, yeah.
I don't know.
It was sitting there.
NARRATOR: In his attempt
to keep his area clean,
Jimmy mistakenly
threw out his lobster.
I'll make another
one real quick.
It was sitting there, Chef.
During the heat of
the moment, things
definitely do get misplaced.
You know, I lost the lobster.
Stall the table.
We've got not lobster.
I'll get another
one real quick.
Where is the lobster going?
I had cooked it, Chef.
I don't know where it went.
Oh.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile,
in the dining room,
Elsie is making the rounds
with her table side.
Cart
Here you are.
Enjoy.
and Jean Philippe is making
sure her customers are happy.
How is everything?
I've never had a Caesar salad
where they have the stems.
Usually they have
the leaves torn up.
I don't really like it.
[inaudible]
[inaudible] is fine.
[inaudible]
What, did your mom cut
the crusts off your bread?
OK, Elsie, do you know
what you've got there?
What?
You have there a pain in
the neck, a gentleman who
wants his lettuce to be cut.
You cut his salad
like a little baby.
He just wants to be an
interesting jerk, and he's not.
And you cut his
salad like a big boy.
I'm going to put it
back on his plate.
Hi.
Would you-- you'd like
your lettuce cut up?
I can do that for
you if you'd like.
Not a problem.
I'll be right back with it.
Mr. Lettuce Cutting.
I started to cut it, you
know, and I felt like--
I remember cutting my
son's meat for him.
You know?
It took every bit of me not to
say something really sarcastic.
But you know,
service with a smile.
It's no different than
requesting your steak
medium-rare versus well-done.
If it's how you like it,
it's how you like it.
So it doesn't hurt
your feelings, does it?
Not at all.
Not at all.
NARRATOR: An hour and a half
into service, the kitchen
is in high gear.
And for Jessica, filets are
proving a little too popular.
Three filet.
Two medium, one medium-well.
Where's the rest of my filets?
Hey, I have no more filets.
Do you have any more
filets over there, Ralph?
Chef Scott out a
bunch out there for me
and now I can't find them.
Hey, this is kind of big.
Michael, I don't have any
more filet mignons back there.
And I have a bunch of orders.
Scott said he put some in there
and they're not there anymore.
Will you take a look?
I don't see filet in here.
Let's go.
Two filet, One medium, one rare.
Three lobster, with one duck.
[inaudible], yes?
OK.
Three lobster, how long?
I'm having a problem.
Chef Scott and I
put the extra filet
packets in that refrigerator.
Yeah.
I don't see them anymore.
No, don't say that to me now.
Surely-- Jess, why do you
want to give us big attitude?
I'm not.
I've got to go back out
there and f*cking tell them.
Unfold your f*cking
arms right now.
And don't dare start getting
f*cking chippy, or lippy,
or f*cking pissy with me.
We've got a massive problem now.
And we've got no
f*cking filet steak.
OK.
I've got in order.
How many have you got?
Listen, I'm trying to
tell you, Scott and I
put them back there.
How many have you got?
Two!
Two!
I hope you're f*cking joking.
Can we just send this food here?
Get back on your section!
Now talk to me.
I'm trying to talk to you.
Hey, what's this?
I'm trying--
Get back on your section!
I'm here.
OK then, little
ol' missy, what
do you suggest for the
other that's on order?
What What I'm trying to
suggest, Chef, is that they
must be somewhere here.
And I'm going to
try and find them.
OK, well, disappear and
f*cking look for them then.
NARRATOR: While Jessica
wonders where her steaks are,
Michael seems to
know where to look.
Do you know what?
It's the way you just
don't care about it.
The way--
- I do care about it!
You do?
You're not even sweating.
You're walking around--
- I am, too!
I'm reall upset about it!
[inaudible] f*ck upset about it.
Oh, come on.
Chef!
I got steaks!
Yeah, well get her.
Yeah, where is she?
She's gonna come
back on the line.
I got it.
Unbelievable.
What a f*cking pile of idiots.
Thank you.
I don't think
anyone sabotaged me.
I would hope not, but Michael
definitely wants to win.
The thought crossed my mind.
Hello?
It's clear you've given up.
I've not given up.
Well, work at it!
I am working at it!
Well, then do some things.
I am.
I have no idea what
the f*ck I'm doing.
Can someone come and
help me because I'm
f*cking up to my ears in shit
and I'm getting screamed at.
Why don't you come
over here to desserts?
Let me fire these steaks.
Let me help you here.
Great, now my
duck is overdone.
NARRATOR: Michael
mysteriously solved
the case of the missing meat.
Meanwhile, Elsie prepares
to move on to flambes.
So two flambe on
table ten, yeah?
Oh, I don't know [inaudible].
Hey, you know what
I would love form you?
What?
Can you go back and get a bunch
of pans from the dishwashers?
I can't now.
I've got to make this
flambe right now.
Great.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
ELSIE (VOICEOVER):
Jessica wanted
me to get her some
pans and I was like,
no, I'm not getting you pans.
I have flambes waiting for me.
A little Grand Marnier.
Fire it up.
It's not working.
Sorry about that.
Fire it up.
There we go.
[inaudible]
I don't want to continue
to put alcohol on that.
Coming right up.
OK, is it flambeed
and everything?
Here you go.
I'm sorry about that.
Ladies first.
Ladies first.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy.
I don't think she's
ever prepared a Caesar
salad or this dessert before.
I never did see the
flambe part of this.
Here you are, enjoy.
Oh, my goodness, thank you.
NARRATOR: and /
hours into service,
with Michael at
Jessica's meat station
and Ralph working alongside
a Chef Ramsay, the kitchen
is working well.
Ralph Things looking
beautiful there.
Ralph is a very safe individual
to have in the kitchen.
Something that makes you
feel good when you're running
the place, because
you've get someone
like him on the left hand side.
Right.
and / on the hot plate.
Two halibut, two lobster, yes?
- Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
Where's your risotto?
No answer.
Where is your risotto?
- I don't have it on.
I'm getting it on now.
Oh my God almighty.
NARRATOR: Earlier,
Jimmy lost a lobster.
Now, he's messed up the risotto.
And Chef Ramsay has had enough.
I'll get it for you, Chef.
I'll have it ready.
f*ck me, it's the
customers, big boy.
I'll have it ready for the
customer in and / minutes.
Do you think I
enjoy this right now?
I know.
This is f*cking painful.
I'm sorry, Chef.
Jimmy, you've got
to relax on the--
really, relax on
the-- why are you
putting that sauce on there?
Why are you putting the
chicken stock on there?
It's a fish [inaudible].
Why are you putting
that over there like that?
It's not--
I saw you over there.
I saw you going--
I did do it.
You're right.
Listen, listen,
don't f*cking start
showing your fat mouth at me.
Are you-- hey, look at me.
So I'm asking you, why
you're putting f*cking
fish stock on f*cking risotto.
Get it off!
Because I think it's a bit
bizarre that you finished it,
and you get a ladle of
fish stock like that,
and you put it on the risotto.
So I'm asking you and
you refuse to tell me.
Then you will open
your fat f*cking mouth.
So why is it on there?
I'm sorry, Chef.
Start the table now.
He just poured fish
stock on the risotto.
Now, Ralph, I'm waiting
on three lobster.
Yeah?
I want to risotto relaxed.
And I turn around, Ralph--
hello?
And he's pouring fish
stock, [inaudible]
fish stock on the risotto.
Then he started shouting at me.
Get it on the stove, young man.
And what I am, I'm
embarrassed about it.
Because I'm amazed
that you've done it.
Now you want to
get chippy with me.
NARRATOR: At this point, Jimmy
might be regretting that he
didn't put himself in
the dining room instead
of Elsie, who is
now serving flambes
as fast as she can fire them.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
For madam, I apologize
for the wait.
- Oh my god.
- It's good, right?
Very good.
- Wow.
- That's delicious.
Is it good?
- Yeah, that's delicious.
- You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Enjoy!
CHEF RAMSAY: Half that,
Jess, you've got two filet,
one duck, one lobster, yes?
Here's one more lobster.
One filet coming on
top of that, yes?
One filet halibut, one lobster,
two filet steak, normal.
Is it on route?
Yes, Chef.
Why isn't the fish in the pan?
Why isn't the fish in the pan?
I'm trying to do f*cking
both at the same time!
What do you want me to do?
Come here, you.
Come here, you.
No.
What do you mean, no?
I'm trying to both of
them at the same time--
Just calm down.
Just calm f*cking down.
I'm trying to do
both at the same time.
Are you about to crack?
Is that what it is?
No.
No, I'm not going to--
No, OK?
Don't f*cking shout at me.
- Yes, Chef.
- What are you going to do?
- I'm going to [inaudible]--
- Calm down.
Yes.
While I'm standing here pissed
off, what about those f*cking
customers there then?
Yeah, I'm trying to--
Talk to me
properly, or f*ck off.
Is that clear?
- Yes, Chef.
Right.
Get the fish in the pan.
- No, Chef.
Get it in the pan.
Yes.
Oh, for God's sake.
Jessica, what are you doing?
Shut it down, yes?
Yes.
And I'll tell you why I'm
going to shut it down.
OK?
Because two individuals
let me down here tonight.
You were one of them.
And you were the other one.
And you think that is bad.
I'll tell you what.
If you're ever going to make
it, you're going to have to take
a lot more pressure than that.
Shut it down.
Tell the customers I'm
closing the place down.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay
has shut down the kitchen
minutes early.
He expected a lot more
from the five finalists.
Well, it was nice knowing you.
Holy f*ck.
Oh dear.
That was hard.
But let me just say, for
the first half of service,
you made me very proud.
Boy, oh boy, were we on song.
Then we broke down.
Then the communication stopped.
And we didn't accomplish
a fully booked service.
And that pisses me off.
Ralph.
Yes, Chef?
You've been down for
the last couple of weeks.
And tonight, really
proved you're worth.
Ralph, thing's
looking beautiful there.
Impressive.
Thank you, Chef.
I want you go back to the
dorm and come back with two
nominees for elimination.
Because one of you
are going home,
Nominate me.
Why?
I'm tired.
Seriously, I
wouldn't be insulted.
Seriously, please.
It's so exhausting.
It's just like, let's
just get this over with.
As things progress,
things are going
to get more and more hectic.
You know, I'm not as
quick as they are.
I'm not going to
be able to keep up.
I don't want to
slow you guys down.
That's it?
You're done?
Because if it's that you
don't want to slow us down,
that's a bullshit excuse.
I didn't finish
any of my crap.
You know, whenever you asked,
[inaudible] for the rice stuff,
I hadn't done that.
That's a legitimate excuse.
I just want to
say that this is
a very difficult [inaudible].
Absolutely.
It's been a f*cking fun ride.
I'll tell you that much.
It's going to be a
tough decision for him.
Ralph's a really good guy.
I had nothing but
good talks with him.
I'm going to be
extremely disappointed
if I do leave tonight.
And I've really busted my hump.
It doesn't look good.
Ralph's your boy,
though, you know?
We'll see.
You could've put him
up there the other night.
Yeah.
I could have.
We'll see if he does
tonight, you know?
I'm not nominating you.
You ain't gonna
put me up there, man.
No f*cking way.
No.
We'll see.
It'd be nice if Ralph
would nominate me
because I didn't put his
ass on the line, you know?
And I've had several
chances to do that.
I didn't do it because we kind
of always had an understanding.
Jessica's great.
We've been partners.
We've been teammates.
You know, we sleep in
the same room together.
Right now, the
game is individual.
I'm going to have to
change my game accordingly.
Good luck to everybody.
Ralph.
Yes, Yes, Chef?
Have you decided
on your two nominees?
Yes, I have, Chef.
First nominee and why.
My first nominee is Jimmy.
Tonight through service at the
point where the pressure was
on, and he had to be putting
the dishes and the food
to the hot plate, and a
momentary distraction of him
talking back you
caused us to lose
valuable time during service.
And whenever you lose time in
service, you can't recreate it.
Fair point.
Second nominee and why.
My second nominee is Jessica.
Jessica.
Tonight, during service,
there was a point
where it became a
hindrance to the team
as far as being able to
execute tables and plates.
Jimmy and Jessica,
step forward, please.
One of you is
going to be leaving
"Hell's Kitchen" shortly.
Jimmy.
Tell me why you think
you should stay.
I believe, over the
past couple of weeks,
I've been a team player.
I've busted my hump.
But tonight, when I had
my scuffle with you,
that was just uncalled for.
And I apologize for that.
Less than hours,
you were flying high.
Yes, I was.
Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you, Chef.
Jessica.
Yes, Chef?
Just tell me why
you think you should
stay in "Hell's Kitchen."
Well, Chef, I think
I've been an amazing team
player since we've been here.
In terms of tonight, it was
definitely a rough night.
And, you know, I was extremely
disappointed with myself.
But you know, I'm
going to try hard,
putting my best foot forward,
and learning how to do this.
So I have to eliminate
someone from "Hell's Kitchen."
Why isn't the--
I'm trying to cook and
do both at the same time!
What do you want me to do?
- Come here, you.
Come here, you.
- No!
Can I just send
this good here?
Get back on your
section and talk to me.
- Hey, hello?
- I'm trying to talk to you.
- What's this?
- I'm trying--
Get back on your section!
My decision is--
Jessica, you fought back.
Jimmy, you didn't.
You're out.
Give me your jacket.
And leave "Hell's
Kitchen," please.
And remember one
thing, be extremely
proud of how far you got.
- Yes, Chef.
- You've done bloody well.
Thank you for everything.
Appreciate that.
- And I mean that that.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Keep your head up high.
Will do.
It deserves to say up high.
Yes, Chef.
Good job.
[inaudible]
Bye bye.
Jimmy.
I have had no regrets about
coming to "Hell's Kitchen."
If anything, it's
broadened my horizons.
It looks like a
dehydrated camel turd.
Yes, sir.
That looks like
a dog's dinner.
Get it in the bin.
Oh, no.
No, no!
Dirty bowl!
Don't Don't touch your hair!
- I'm sorry.
- Don't touch your face!
I'm sorry.
Jimmy, you look
delicious as a blonde.
Jimmy, start dancing
like a ballerina.
Move.
You're the man, Jimmy.
And it was a clean plate, too!
I'm definitely not
giving up on my dream
of restaurant [inaudible].
Chef Ramsay said to
keep on moving forward.
And it really meant a
lot coming from him,
because this is what I
really want to do in my life.
Very tough.
Go and get some sleep.
Goodnight.
I made it through.
And I'm absolutely
ecstatic about it.
I'm definitely going to bounce
back from this nomination.
It's unfortunate
to see Jimmy go,
but the truth is, in
order for me to win,
Elsie, Jessie, Michael,
have to be eliminated, too.
Everyone's going to try to
do their very best to make
themselves come up on top.
And if there's a little
backstabbing involved,
it's going to get ugly.
We're all living on sort
of like this fake happiness
with everybody
where, at any moment,
it seems like
somebody could snap.
Each and every one of
these contestants now
have to start emerging
as individual talent.
This is when we really
start to find out who can
handle the heat and who can't.
Clearly, tonight,
Jimmy couldn't.
