05x13 - 3 Chefs Compete

[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Hell's

Kitchen," the final four

face their toughest test.

- Come on.

What are you waiting for?

Dig in.

NARRATOR: In Chef Ramsay's Taste

It, Now Make It challenge--

You've got half an hour

to recreate this dish.

Go.

NARRATOR: And once again, it

was between Danny and Paula's

dishes.

GORDON RAMSAY: The thing

that's separating you is

as thin as a strand of saffron.

Congratulations, Danny.

Yes!

NARRATOR: Then at

dinner service--

GORDON RAMSAY: You

are my dream team.

Prove it tonight.

NARRATOR: The chefs got

off to a strong start.

GORDON RAMSAY: Perfect.

I hate using that

word, but perfect.

NARRATOR: But Ben fumbled

trying to make a plain salad.

GORDON RAMSAY: Did

you go to school?

Yes, Chef.

You don't know how

to make plain salad?

Yes, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Oh my god.

NARRATOR: And Andrea was

less than spectacular

on the meat station.

ANDREA: I'm down two.

GORDON RAMSAY: What?

What the f*ck are you doing?

ANDREA: I did a miscount, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: You just

f*cked a perfect service.

NARRATOR: The chefs did manage

to complete dinner service.

GORDON RAMSAY: Switch

everything off, Danny.

Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: But Chef

Ramsay was unimpressed.

I've never been so bloody

frustrated in all my time

in Hell's Kitchen.

All four of you come up with one

individual that you all agree

should be leaving

Hell's Kitchen.

NARRATOR: Ben and

Danny att*cked Andrea.

Have you ever run a kitchen?

BEN: You're .

You just came out

of culinary school.

ANDREA: I'm not going

run down my f*cking

credentials to either of you.

NARRATOR: Then, when it was

time to send someone home--

GORDON RAMSAY: Have you

all come to your consensus?

ANDREA: It was a tie between

myself and Ben, Chef.

Ben.

Andrea.

Step forward.

NARRATOR: Ben and Andrea were

facing elimination together

for the second week in a row.

GORDON RAMSAY: Ben,

take your jacket

off and leave Hell's Kitchen.

NARRATOR: It was Ben's

dream of becoming

Head Chef at Borgata Atlantic

City that went up in flames.

GORDON RAMSAY: Now I'm looking

at the best of the best.

NARRATOR: And Chef Ramsay had

a surprise for the final three.

Before you go

back to the dorms,

I want to give you

a little treat.

[theme music]

NARRATOR: And now, the

continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

GORDON RAMSAY: Here's some

faces I think all of you

will recognize.

Paula, here's your

mother and your sister.

PAULA: Ah!

[laughing]

GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.

ANDREA: Ah!

GORDON RAMSAY: Here's your

mother and your cousin.

Danny, here's your father,

your girlfriend Devon.

DEVON: [inaudible]

DANNY: Big hug.

When I saw my old man

and my girlfriend,

I was just like,

overwhelmed, man.

ANDREA: Mom, I love you so much.

I missed you so much.

ANDREA'S MOM: I missed

you, too, honey.

ANDREA: I come from a line of

really extremely strong women,

and it's something that I

hold onto and carry with me

and I'm so proud of.

Mom.

I never realized how

important you guys were

until you guys weren't there.

PAULA: Oh, my god.

This is so hard.

You have no idea.

Honestly, this is the

hardest thing I've ever

been through in my whole life.

It was awesome to

see my sister my mom.

I told them I can't wait to get

home, and they just said to me,

you're not going home

until you win this.

And that's what

I needed to hear.

Hang in there.

Hang in there.

Tremendously proud of you.

I knew that you had it

in you to get to the top.

DANNY: To see that smile

on my old man's face--

it just feels so good

to show the old man

what his boy's got in him

and the future that he had.

ANDREA: I have

cheered at the thought

of you guys coming here.

ANDREA'S COUSIN: It's for real.

It's for real

ANDREA'S MOM: Yeah, we're here.

We're here.

- Thank you so much for coming.

- Very nice to meet you.

GORDON RAMSAY: I appreciate it.

DANNY: This is the best

gift Chef has given us.

Nothing could have been

more motivating than giving

me a little piece of home.

DANNY'S DAD: Take

it all the way,

because I know you can do it.

I know you can do it.

PAULA: I love you.

PAULA'S SISTER: I

love you too, sister.

DANNY: Bye, baby.

GORDON RAMSAY: Thank you,

thank you, thank you.

DANNY: Bye, Dad.

GORDON RAMSAY: What

a lovely surprise.

Keep it up, OK?

We're really pulling for you.

ANDREA: All right.

Amazing.

ANDREA: That minutes

of time that I had

with my family-- it was so

invaluable and so precious

to me.

It refueled me, and

it's the final three

and my destiny is in my control.

[both laughing]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Recharged after

spending some time last night

with their loved

ones, the chefs are

ready to take on

whatever challenge Chef

Ramsay wants to throw at them.

Good morning.

CHEFS: Good morning, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Wow.

Look at you.

have gone.

Now we're left with

the creme de la creme.

Well done.

CHEFS: Thank you, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Today's challenge,

you'll be serving lunch to

very special, distinguished

customers.

ANDREA: I have no guess

as to who it will be.

It could be anything.

It could be

kids for all I know.

I don't know.

I want each of you to

select a dish to really

impress these patrons.

Excited?

Yes, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY:

You've each got

minutes to cook portions.

Let it shine.

Yes, Chef.

minutes.

Off you go.

NARRATOR: The chefs have

minutes and a fully stocked

kitchen at their disposal.

Chef Ramsay is

looking for dishes

that will impress the

very special mystery guests.

GORDON RAMSAY: Small

tasting portions, yes?

PAULA: Yes, Chef.

I'm feeling confident about

my food for this challenge.

I'm at the top of my game.

Danny and Andrea

should be worried.

DANNY: When Chef told us to

pick a upscale lunch dish,

all I was thinking was you

know seafood, you know fruit.

Put it together.

That's pretty much

my signature flavor.

So I'm not worried

about my cuisine.

GORDON RAMSAY: Mmm, smells nice.

Very nice.

ANDREA: With this challenge,

we had an hour and a half--

twice as long as the

longest challenge.

But you're not

producing two portions.

You're producing .

DANNY: See the lid

to the Dijon, no?

PAULA: I wouldn't

worry about that.

DANNY: I'm not.

PAULA: I think Danny is my

strongest competition based

on Danny can keep

control and keep cool

under stressful situations.

Come on, you fucker.

f*ck.

Andrea, on the other hand,

gets a little bit flustered

in the heat of competition.

ANDREA: f*cking [inaudible]

Half an hour to go, yes?

DANNY: Yes, Chef.

ANDREA: minutes.

DANNY: Andrea is somewhere

else in left field.

I think that Andrea's going

to crumble under the pressure.

ANDREA: f*ck.

minutes, guys.

GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.

ANDREA: Yes, Chef?

GORDON RAMSAY: I'd hurry

up if I was you, yeah?

ANDREA: Yes, Chef.

- Yeah, I'm getting nervous.

Yeah, I'm getting

nervous for you, Madam.

ANDREA: I'm fine, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: No, you're

running behind, Madam.

Keep pushing out.

Keep pushing out, girl.

I pretty much was talking

to myself out loud.

Stick these in butter.

That's pretty much my style.

Jalapeno butter instead,

that's what I'm going to do.

Nobody else was standing

there talking me through it.

Nobody else was rooting me on.

I had to do that for myself.

GORDON RAMSAY: Your customers

are seconds away from arriving.

Come on, let's go.

ANDREA: It was just a time

crunch like never before.

By far the most difficult

challenge we've had.

GORDON RAMSAY: Your

customers are here.

Let's go.

Here they come.

These are chefs from

across Los Angeles,

from some of the best-rated

restaurants in Zagat,

Michelin rated, and the

creme de la creme of fine

dining in California.

PAULA: Holy sh*t.

These are real chefs.

They know great food.

I started to panic

just a little bit.

GORDON RAMSAY: Would

the executive chefs

mind standing up, please.

DANNY: I was just

like, holy sh*t.

people stand up.

Mark Peel,

Campanile restaurant.

The recent recipient

of the James Beard

Outstanding Restaurant Award.

- That's right.

Sal Marino, chef/owner of Il

Grano restaurant in West LA.

Chef Ben Ford.

I'm from Ford's Filling Station.

I'm a chef and owner.

Celestino Drago,

Drago Restaurant.

And you've got four

restaurants across LA.

DANNY: Most of them were

executive slash owner.

Definitely the toughest

critics that we've had yet.

Joachim Splichal, chef and

founder of The Patina Group.

Executive Chef at Synergies,

five star fine dining rooms.

We're the best in California.

Josiah Citrin, chef/owner

of Melisse restaurant.

Congratulations on

your two Michelin stars.

Thank you.

ANDREA: Michelin stars, Zagat

rated, James Beard Awards--

you know, those are all huge

accolades in the culinary world

and very, very intimidating.

Michael Reardon,

corporate executive chef.

Chef, partner of Grayson

[inaudible] restaurant.

Executive Chef

at Eat. on Sunset.

Hotel Angelino.

Sushi [inaudible].

Suzanne Goin.

I'm the chef/owner of

Lucques and AOC restaurants.

Best chef in California,

James Beard, ?

Yes.

ANDREA: That is the

best of the best.

And it's like, oh my god,

you're here eating my food.

I just get chills

thinking about it.

Los Angeles must be starving,

because you're all here.

[laughter]

DANNY: All these great

chefs in the same building,

scrutinizing every

single thing that we do.

Now, ready to go, yes?

Plating up.

DANNY: This is

going to be gnarly.

GORDON RAMSAY: Ready to go, yes?

Plating up.

Off we go.

Service, please.

Let's go.

Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: The guests will

sample each of the three dishes

and vote for their favorite

and least favorite entree.

Today I have for you Chicken

Roulade micro basil and garlic.

Thank you.

As far as the chefs

that we have here

and the caliber

of their palates,

you can't pull the

wool over their eyes.

PAULA: Here we have an olive

oil-poached sturgeon with

crispy potato and creme fresh.

We have a salad of arugula and

radishes and Ossetra caviar.

Enjoy.

I didn't do much

schmoozing with the chefs.

They just want to probably

get their food in and get out.

I like that.

Be having a lightly-blackened

halibut today with ginger mint

peach salsa, side of basmati

rice with celery, fennel,

chili peppers, and honey.

Bottom line is the food,

and I think I nailed it.

I feel like I can

be proud of today.

NARRATOR: The aspiring chefs

maybe feeling confident

about their dishes,

but LA's finest

chefs will have the final word.

That's good.

The jalapeno butter, I like.

- Favorite dish?

- It's the sturgeon.

GORDON RAMSAY: Yes.

You see that step up.

Cleaned my plate.

I'm going to finish it all.

NARRATOR: Now that all of

the dishes have been sampled,

the guest chefs must circle

the color of the dish they

like the most.

SAL MARINO: My vote

goes for the yellow.

I think by far, the

purple kicked ass.

NARRATOR: And the one

they like the least.

The blue.

CHEF: It was horrible.

CHEF: It was too dry.

This is bush league.

Not a dish you

do for people.

And now a dish you

do for a tasting.

Why would you pick halibut?

DANNY: A few people were

like, ooh, looks great.

So I just hope that

they enjoyed it.

Vote done.

NARRATOR: With the

votes in and counted,

Chef Ramsay is ready

to reveal the results.

Over % thought one

dish was the worst.

Now, %-- basically,

you hated it.

[chefs laughing]

And that dish belongs to Danny.

I was embarrassed.

I was standing in front

of all these chefs

and these are the elite.

For them to think so lowly

of me just kills me, man.

Right.

That means Andrea

and Paula are left.

Over % chose one dish as

their favorite, and clearly

the best dish by a landslide.

The best dish belongs to Paula.

Congratulations.

Absolutely brilliant.

[chefs applauding]

PAULA: I'm cooking for some

of these best chefs in LA,

and % of them thought

that my dish was the best.

It's a huge honor.

GORDON RAMSAY: Congratulations.

Thank you, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Now this

reward comes in two parts.

For the rest of the

day, you're going

to be given the full

Hollywood pampered treatment.

Haircuts, color, manicure--

PAULA: Wow.

Eyebrows?

Wax?

GORDON RAMSAY:

Shampoo, conditioner.

You're from Brazil.

- Yes.

So that includes

a wax, as well.

Awesome.

Great.

It's a bit of a chef's thing.

And part two is an

amazing surprise,

but that happens tomorrow.

- Oh, OK.

GORDON RAMSAY: OK?

Before that surprise, I want

you looking your best, yes?

I'll try.

GORDON RAMSAY: OK.

Losers, your punishment

comes in two parts.

Part one-- after our

chefs have departed,

you'll be cleaning up

each and every table.

Then resetting the dining room

[inaudible] tomorrow night's

service.

Part two is laundry day.

You'll be steaming, ironing,

starching, and folding each

and every cloth.

DANNY: The punishment

is whatever.

It just sucks that I

have to sit here all day

and just think about

what a horrible job

I did this morning.

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

And I can't wait to get

back to your restaurants.

OK, back upstairs and I'll

get Jean-Philippe to give

you a call in minutes, yes?

- Yes, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Off you go, yes?

Let's go.

ANDREA: You're going to get

some kind of magazine spread,

I tell you what.

Paula slammed it, and

she's a brilliant chef.

And as much as it

pains me to say,

she was steps ahead

of both Danny and I.

PAULA: Thanks.

ANDREA: You are the sh*t, man.

Tell you what.

DANNY: Ah, f*ck, man.

What a kick in the nuts.

It was just a really

bad day to lose, man.

Real bad.

I just hope that Chef doesn't

take me out of this competition

based on this one challenge.

Up until this point, I've

been one of the front runners,

you know?

And then to come in

last place stinks, man.

ANDREA: Danny took

that loss pretty hard,

and I think this is probably the

first time I've ever seen Danny

beaten down in Hell's Kitchen.

PAULA: It was f*cking

tough, though.

ANDREA: Mm.

Paula.

NARRATOR: With Jean-Philippe

along for the ride--

JEAN-PHILIPPE: So we are

going to beauty salon.

NARRATOR: --Paula heads off

to get a Hollywood makeover.

I think I'm ready

for some changes, JP.

Frankly you don't really

need too much of a--

but he really wants

you to sparkle.

He wants you to look

like a princess.

You know, I think JP is

just genuinely a nice guy.

JEAN-PHILIPPE: How do you

relax yourself outside of work?

PAULA: I do work out.

- Nice.

PAULA: Yeah.

He's a really cool guy.

He's nice.

You know, he's personable.

I was a little bit shocked

that he cares so much.

What about you?

Married?

Single?

No, single.

Single.

It's difficult

to meet somebody

outside of the business.

JEAN-PHILIPPE: I know.

You don't force things in life.

PAULA: No.

They just come along.

That time will come.

You planning on going

back to Europe, or no?

Never.

PAULA: Really.

Mark Slicker.

I'm Paula.

- Paula, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

MARK SLICKER: We have makeup

artists here do your makeup.

I'll take care of your hair as

well as manicure and pedicure.

Oh, sweet.

MARK SLICKER: Are

you ready for this?

PAULA: I'm ready.

I'm feeling great right now.

Feeling glammed up.

That's what celebrity

life is all about.

NARRATOR: Paula may be glowing

from her star treatment,

but back in Hell's Kitchen--

sh*t, man.

We're going to be here forever.

NARRATOR: Danny is steamed.

DANNY: Oh, my god, dude.

I'm going to f*cking lose it.

I'm not the biggest ironer.

Ah, beautiful.

It was kind of nice to

see Danny down on himself,

because I haven't seen that.

I am going to use

that to my advantage.

DANNY: Dude, what the f*ck?

I just gotta get my head out of

my ass and get a good attitude,

and go in there and do this

punishment like a champion

and bounce back.

You still have

that many to go?

DANNY: Yeah, dude.

I'm down and out right

now, but I'm trying to pick

myself back up and move on.

Crap, man.

Still manage to have wrinkles.

NARRATOR: Andrea and Danny

are hours from completing

their punishment, but Paula is

ready to show off the results

of her rewarding day.

ANDREA: Oh, my god.

DANNY: Hey, hey.

ANDREA: Look at you.

Oh, my god.

PAULA: Manicure and pedicure.

Look at that.

DANNY: He colored it?

- He did.

DANNY: Yeah, looks good.

He colored and he

did some lowlights.

ANDREA: Took the red out.

- Yeah.

DANNY: Paula looks great.

She's definitely

rejuvenated and refreshed,

and I'm sure her morale

is soaring right now.

No Brazilian wax?

No Brazilian wax.

Good thing you'll be

able to walk tomorrow.

Yeah.

I'll see you guys up there.

- OK.

Later, Paula.

Later.

Winning this challenge

today was huge for me.

And gives you a nice

confidence boost.

I'm totally psyched

about tomorrow.

I want to find out my

second surprise is.

I can't wait for that.

NARRATOR: The final three

are just hours from the most

important dinner service yet.

All right, girl.

I'll see you in a few.

All right.

Have a good time.

NARRATOR: But right

now, Chef Ramsay

is ready to take Paula on the

second part of her reward.

Hey.

PAULA: Chef, how are you?

GORDON RAMSAY: You look great.

PAULA: Thank you, thank you.

GORDON RAMSAY: Did you enjoy it?

PAULA: I did.

So we're going to the Fox

Morning Show this morning--

PAULA: Oh!

GORDON RAMSAY: --for a

cooking demo and Good Day LA.

It's live, so there's

no rehearsals, OK?

Wow.

OK?

Wow, that is wild.

I was freaking out a little bit

because, you know, it's live.

My god.

You know, talking on TV

can be a long time if you

don't have anything to say.

GORDON RAMSAY: Here we are.

Fox Studios.

Ladies first.

Glamorous ladies first.

Good Day LA.

PAULA: Yes, it is.

Straight up the

stairs, into the studio.

NARRATOR: While Paula

gets ready for her close,

up back in Hell's Kitchen,

Jean-Philippe has one more

chore for Andrea and Danny.

Second part.

We walk her into

the hallway and bam.

There's mops and vacuums

and a steam cleaner.

There's stuff to clean the

screens on the plasma TVs.

Lets go.

ANDREA: Yay.

I'll get the one side.

You get the other.

DANNY: What a nice

little extra sting.

ANDREA: Oh my god, we

get to watch the news.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile,

at Fox Studios,

it's the final countdown to

Paula's live television debut.

DIRECTOR: Five, you

got four [inaudible]

CREW: Five, four, three--

DIRECTOR: Do it on the--

actually, there you go.

CREW: --two, one.

DIRECTOR: Music.

STEVE EDWARDS ON TV: All

right, Chef Gordon Ramsay,

why don't you explain--

ANDREA: God!

STEVE EDWARDS ON TV:

--what's going on.

DANNY: Oh, setup.

GORDON RAMSAY ON

TV: --shiny star.

And Paula.

STEVE EDWARDS ON TV: Hey, Paula.

ANDREA: Oh, my god, it's Paula.

GORDON RAMSAY ON TV:

She won the challenge.

DANNY: Oh, no way.

ANDREA: Oh my god.

Paula, you bitch.

God, I want to do that.

That is

awesome.

GORDON RAMSAY: It's great to see

talented female chefs, right?

- Absolutely.

- Yes, it is.

So we're going

to make a salad.

Paula, why don't you

start slicing the apple.

OK.

Michelle, can you do the

same with pine nuts, please,

darling?

In the pan, and toast them?

Oh, Chef Ramsay's a pro when

the camera's on, you know?

This is like a walk

in the park for him.

And are you picking

up the hints from him?

How will you be in the kitchen?

You know what, I'm

taking up tons of--

of goodies from him.

You know what?

I'm already a quarter

of the way there

with-- with him in the kitchen.

But he's intense.

For me, I'm doing this

for the first time.

I'm, like, trying to keep my

nerves down as much as possible

and not freak out.

And this girl is

very, very talented.

So it's healthy

being under pressure.

[laughs]

I missed out on some

of the good PR, you know,

so America could see

this pretty face.

- Gordon, thank you.

- Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Likewise.

"Hell's Kitchen."

GORDON RAMSAY: Good to

see you, my darling.

That was awesome.

All rightie.

All right.

Did you enjoy that?

- I did enjoy that.

- It went so quick.

You were brilliant.

- That was six minutes?

Well done, well done.

You won't forget

that one, will you?

- No, I won't.

- Come here.

Well done.

- Oh, thank you, chef.

Excellent.

I hope Danny, yeah, and

Andrea were tuning in.

[music playing]

[vacuum whirring]

Hello, JP.

- What's up, what's up?

- It looks fabulous.

I'm almost there.

Screen looks perfect.

It's not as shiny as when

Paula was on the screen.

[laughs]

Ah, there she is.

Awesome job.

Awesome job.

PAULA: Pretty kick-ass

morning today.

I still have all this adrenaline

and energy flowing through me.

So I'm going to use that

to my advantage and--

and take it into

service tonight.

Yeah, that was sweet, man.

NARRATOR: In just a few

hours, the final three

will face the biggest dinner

service of their lives.

To get there, of

their competitors

have been eliminated, and the

prize is clearly in sight.

ANDREA: Now I'm in the top

three, and it's like, wow.

You know, this is the last and

final test before the finale.

And I'm f*cking staying.

All right.

How you looking over there?

Good?

We are very close to

the end right now.

Last three.

After tonight,

it'll just be two.

And I'm confident that

I'll-- that I'll be

one of the final two tonight.

Big night, huh, man?

You know, you have a bad day.

Just got to bounce back from it.

I'm still hanging in there.

This is what I came

here for is to win.

So I got this.

I'm going to f*cking be

the best one tonight.

This is it, man.

f*cking do or die right here.

Right.

Let's go.

OK.

Good.

Big, big, big night,

because two of you

will be advancing to the finals.

Sadly, one of you will

be going home, yes.

I need to know who's

worthy of that title

in the Borgata Hotel.

So I can't think of any better

way to put you in the spotlight

than dump you,

literally, on the pass

to see what it's like

running a kitchen

and getting the best

out of your brigade.

Is that clear?

ALL: Yes, chef.

You've all seen

how easy it is.

What is that?

It's not good enough!

Get a grip.

Wake up.

Where's the blasted Wellington?

Communicate!

This is for real.

So get real and make it yours.

ALL: Yes, chef.

Let's go.

Jean-Philippe, open

Hell's Kitchen.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Tonight, every table

is booked in Hell's Kitchen.

And with only three chefs

remaining in the competition,

the pressure is at

an all-time high.

OK, let's go.

NARRATOR: With a

shorthanded kitchen,

Scott and Gloria will

be filling in the gaps.

On order.

Here we go.

Hey, yeah, this one counts, yes?

ALL: Yes, chef.

Sadly, one of

you are going home.

On order, two covers, table .

Two risotto.

Entree, one salmon, one lamb.

ALL: Yes, chef.

I don't want to wait

for this first table.

It's got to go, it's got

to go, it's got to go.

- Coming right now, chef.

- Yeah.

So is f*cking Christmas, madam.

Let's go.

Risottos are up, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Good.

Service, please.

Very nice, that risotto.

Thank you, Chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Andrea.

That's nicely cooked.

Thank you, chef.

NARRATOR: With the

first appetizers out,

Chef Ramsay is ready

for one of the chefs

to try their hand at

running the kitchen.

Paula, pass.

Let's go.

PAULA: I was the first

one up at the pass,

and I'm just a little

bit anxious to--

to get up there,

run the hot plate.

This particular

service, it's important

not to slip up because

this is a different side

that chef has seen now.

You know, he wants to

see a leadership quality.

- You've got to push it, yes?

- Yes, chef.

- You must push it.

- Yes, chef.

Move!

Listen up, you guys!

Away.

Excuse me.

Start over.

Away.

We have one lobster pasta.

Excuse me.

Start over.

Away.

DANNY: Paula seemed

pretty nervous.

And I mean, I think that

really shows a lot of weakness.

On order.

Not away.

Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: You're like

a mouse with no voice.

Let's go.

- Stand by, you guys.

One risotto, one scallop,

one soup, and one spaghetti.

ALL: Yes, chef!

NARRATOR: Having

found her voice,

Paula will now have to face Chef

Ramsay's first quality control

test, as Chef Gloria

substitutes a squash puree

for a carrot puree.

Carrot puree, please, chef.

Carrot puree coming up.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Taste, taste, taste.

Check the seasoning.

Stop.

Taste the puree.

So what does that taste of?

Come on.

One more taste.

Squash.

GORDON RAMSAY: Yeah.

Look at me.

This is your reputation on

the line, and you as a chef.

That's butternut squash

puree, not carrot.

Redress it.

Carrot puree, please.

Yes, chef.

You know what, Chef Gloria got

me on that butternut squash.

But I've made it this far.

I cannot possibly

start giving up now.

Stand by, guys.

One Dory and three Wellingtons.

f*ring Dory right now, chef.

Chef Scott, clear

down the pass, please

GORDON RAMSAY: Good.

- Clearing down.

NARRATOR: Paula has recovered

from her failed quality control

test.

- All right, guys.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

NARRATOR: But another

sabotage dish is already

making its way to the pass.

Macs.

Thank you.

Soup.

Scott, I don't

know what that is,

but it's not the

watercress soup.

Can you redo that, please?

Well done.

That's spinach soup.

Same color, different

f*cking ingredient.

Well spotted.

- Thank you, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Yes, yeah.

PAULA: I was channeling a little

bit of my inner Chef Ramsey.

So I-- I busted

Scott on that one.

All right, guys.

Let's go.

Three Wellingtons, one Dory.

One minute.

Coming right now, chef!

Paula is a solid competitor.

She is a solid chef.

Two Wellingtons,

medium, please.

Let's go!

Yes, chef.

NARRATOR: Paula has bounced

back from her shaky start

at the pass, and most

of the appetizers

have left the kitchen.

Well done.

Back on the appetizers.

Yes, chef.

NARRATOR: Now it's another

chef's turn to run the pass.

Right, Danny.

Let's go.

Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: You coming?

You taste everything.

- Yes, sir.

- You run your f*cking kitchen.

You don't let the

kitchen run you.

They're not your mates.

Is that clear?

- Yes, chef.

Yeah?

Good.

DANNY: I run the pass

every night back home,

and it's-- it's

like second nature.

That's just my home.

I should nail this.

- Come on!

Let's go.

First order in.

Thank you.

I told myself, all

right, read the ticket.

Read the ticket.

Read the ticket.

And then you get up there

and you're like, uh.

All right, listen up.

Table , five covers.

You have one

scallop, one risotto,

one soup, and one spaghetti.

Stop!

It's your job to spot there's

one appetizer missing.

Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: And

there's no time on there,

so get a f*cking time on there.

Yes, chef.

All right.

- Let's go!

- Jean-Philippe!

GORDON RAMSAY: Now!

You should be spotting it.

I need a time on

this, and I only

got four apps on a five top.

I'm the man in my restaurant.

Chef Ramsay is the man here.

One lamb, two salmon, one--

two salmon, one Wellington.

How long?

It's just a f*cking

little bit intimidating

working next to

this guy when you

know you're being scrutinized.

GORDON RAMSAY: No, Danny.

- Yes, chef?

GORDON RAMSAY: Come on.

That's spaghetti in

the f*cking bowl.

Oh, I'm sorry, chef.

- I don't like it, Danny.

- Yes, chef.

- I don't like it.

- No problem, chef.

I don't like it.

NARRATOR: The normally

confident Danny

is feeling a little

insecure at the pass,

and it's having a negative

impact on the kitchen.

Let's go with scallops!

ANDREA: Plating up

right now, chef!

Egg!

DANNY: Egg and bacon.

Let's go.

Where you going?

Bacon.

Can I get it all

at once, please?

ANDREA: Danny is years old,

and he's talked a big game.

But I just felt that

his age showed tonight.

GORDON RAMSAY: Two

Wellington, one Dory, yes?

Dude, these scallops

are well done, Andrea.

Give me another order, dude.

- Good.

Well done, Danny.

NARRATOR: While Danny correctly

spots a problem with Andrea's

scallops, sous chef

Gloria is creating

a problem with the potatoes.

Garnish please, Gloria.

Behind, chef.

Got Dory coming

up here, Andrea?

ANDREA: Coming right now, chef!

DANNY: Let's go!

Stop.

Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Touch.

DANNY: It's raw card, chef.

Come on!

Danny!

The skins are on.

You've got to check everything.

They're raw, Danny!

DANNY: Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: No, they're raw.

You put them on, big boy.

Come on.

Let's go!

Got Chef Ramsay standing

there, a full dining room,

and it's the final three.

I just have to focus,

get in the game.

I can do this.

Table .

Three covers.

One scallop, one

spaghetti, one Caesar.

Entrees, one chicken,

one lamb, one Wellington.

ALL: Yes, chef.

- Good.

- Dessert pick up.

GORDON RAMSAY: Good.

You know, he wasn't near as

assertive as I thought he would

be, and then he started,

you know, hitting his stride

towards the end of it.

- All right.

Scallops are working, yes?

Yes, they are, chef.

DANNY: Very good.

- Good man.

Let's go.

Guys, how long on a lobster,

a Caesar, and two scallops?

Good.

Coming up right now

in seconds, chef.

seconds.

Andrea, seconds.

- Yes!

- All right.

Good.

Yes, chef.

NARRATOR: It's an hour and

a half into dinner service,

and thanks to a

strong rally by Danny,

diners are enjoying

their entrees.

Delicious.

- Oh, it's yummy.

- Andrea, bingo.

Let's go.

NARRATOR: Now it's Andrea's

turn to take the reins.

- Run your brigade, yes?

- Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Don't

let the brigade run you.

Danny, how long on the

chicken, lamb, Wellington?

seconds.

After that, do we have two

Wellington, two lamb rested?

- Yes, chef.

- Good.

I'm not afraid of

speaking out loud.

A lot of people are

pretty shocked when

I do put on my assertive panties

in the morning and, you know,

get in your face.

Two scallop, one

soup, one risotto.

I need that up to the pass now.

I need two--

I need two minutes now.

- Two minutes.

Two minutes.

NARRATOR: Andrea's

aggressiveness in the kitchen

is keeping everything

moving, and the customers

are happy with the

service and the food.

It's a little piece

of heaven right here.

My compliments to the chef.

NARRATOR: But she's

about to be tested

with the wrong kind of fish.

Come on.

I need Dory now!

Dory right now.

Christmas is coming now.

I need it now!

So is the Dory.

GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go.

- Pieces are small.

I gave you one extra.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You happy with that?

Yes, chef.

Stop.

Stop.

Taste the fish,

because it's not Dory.

Are you serious?

GORDON RAMSAY: It's halibut.

ANDREA: Eh, you're wrong.

I was like, f*ck.

f*ck, Bye f*ck.

GORDON RAMSAY: Hey.

Back to the f*cking

culinary school.

ANDREA: That, for

me, was the moment

where I was just like, uh uh.

This is not the

way I'm going out.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Not f*cking happy.

NARRATOR: After failing her

first quality control test,

Andrea is determined to

not let it happen again.

Gloria.

Christ, that's too

much f*cking salt.

Oh, too much?

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Refire it.

Get it right.

Chicken, lamb, Wellington.

Where is it, Danny?

It was seconds.

That was seconds ago.

Got it right now, chef.

Scott, you need

to season this.

Oh, come on.

Dory sauce needs

to be seasoned.

You don't know what the

f*ck you're talking about.

ANDREA: Come on,

I need that Dory!

That Dory's not on!

Where is it?

SCOTT: I'm getting the Dory!

The scallops are in

the pan right now.

Dory's going down.

ANDREA: I loved being up there.

I-- I seriously think that

that was the least nervous

that I've ever felt in Hell's

Kitchen the entire time.

Scott, I want three new eggs.

These look like hell.

- Are you sure?

- I am sure!

Get them on.

OK.

Go f*ck yourself,

you stupid c**t.

Woo.

PAULA: Honestly, I

thought Andrea was,

like, too much over the top.

ANDREA: Scott, these

are raw in the middle!

Are you sure?

They need to be

cooked further, Scott.

How much longer?

seconds longer

in a hot pan.

Come on.

Make that Dory happen fast!

f*ck you.

I'm going to start

losing my f*cking mind.

Where's that Dory?

Let's go!

Cooking it as fast

as it'll let me.

One minute.

ANDREA: He just kept

giving me excuses.

Now I know why Chef Ramsay

is such a f*cking lunatic.

You cook it, it

doesn't cook you, Scott.

We're going to have

a f*cking problem.

PAULA: Andrea.

Man, she was really

rough on Chef Scott.

She was riding him

like a donkey, man.

What the [bleep].

What is going on here, man?

SCOTT: I'm telling

you right now,

I'm going to f*cking

punch her in the face.

DANNY: I knew he was pissed.

Dude, I thought he

was going to k*ll her.

SCOTT: .

seconds on Dory.

Eggs right now.

GORDON RAMSAY:

Finish the scallops.

Come on.

Hurry up.

We're going to be in

the sh*t big time.

These need to be seasoned!

Season these eggs right now.

GORDON RAMSAY: Well spotted.

Thank you, chef.

f*ck you.

Hey, Andrea.

Back on the fish.

Let's go.

Yes, chef.

NARRATOR: With all

three chefs having taken

a turn running the kitchen--

Let's go, Danny.

It's last table, yes?

Yes, chef.

Let's go, Paula.

NARRATOR: --Chef Ramsay takes

his rightful place at the pass,

and no one is more

relieved than Chef Scott.

- Thank you.

- Let's finish strong, yes?

ALL: Yes, chef!

- Come on, come on.

Come on, Danny!

ALL: Yes, chef!

Come on, Andrea!

Come on, Paula!

Yes, chef.

Garnish is up there, Danny.

Service.

Go please.

Hey, Andrea--

Yes, chef.

--Paula.

Clearly our best service.

Yes, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: Well done.

Thank you, chef.

Hallelujah.

DANNY: Overall, this dinner

service was hard as hell,

and I just hope to

God I make the finale.

f*ck, man.

I'd better not go home.

I'll tell you what.

And that'll make

you feel happy.

Says a lot, chef.

PAULA: This is the

final elimination.

This is vital.

This is it.

You never know what Chef

Ramsay's going to do.

Yeah!

Rock star.

ANDREA: I hit my stride.

And you know, I--

I really felt like I had

one of my strongest services

ever tonight.

Absolutely.

I don't want to leave.

- Switch off, Danny.

Let's go.

Yes, chef.

Switched.

[music playing]

GORDON RAMSAY: Look closely.

Do you notice

anything different?

Your hair?

My hair?

No, not my f*cking hair.

You have a spot

on your jacket.

No!

What's different?

You're smiling

Exactly!

Exactly.

Bloody hell.

I'm smiling because we had

a bloody great service.

Tonight, you all confirmed

why you are the final three.

Well done.

- Thank you, yes.

GORDON RAMSAY: Really well done.

Thank you, chef.

Now, here's the bad news.

On the back of our best

ever service, one of you

has got to go home.

Here's your assignment

for this evening.

Go back to the dorms and tell me

who should not be in the final

of "Hell's Kitchen."

I am not looking

for a consensus.

I'm looking for your

own individual opinions.

Now go upstairs.

[music playing]

We f*cking kicked ass, guys.

Final three here.

Damn, man.

It's tough.

It's just a tough decision.

There's only three of us.

It's not like we have a

boatload of people to pick from.

Well, I'll start out

if nobody else will.

My vote's Danny.

Because of tonight when

you worked the pass.

I honestly thought you

would be spot on with that

because you've run

restaurants before.

I think that I've been a

pretty damn strong competitor

throughout this whole thing.

I think I've been at

the top of my game,

at the top of everyone's game.

Andrea based everything on me at

the pass because that's all she

has.

There's nothing else

negative to say about me.

As far as the pass goes, I don't

think that you really did good.

I think that you were

just talking a lot.

I caught a lot tonight.

DANNY: I think that you

were just nitpicking a lot.

That-- that was my

standard, though, Danny.

So what if he thinks

that I was nitpicking?

I applied my standards

to those dishes.

I don't have to justify

that to anybody.

I just think

that I've just been

stronger than you throughout

the whole competition.

I mean, I beg to differ.

I'm going to vote for you.

Well, I knew that was coming.

Well, I guess that

leaves it down to me.

I definitely feel relieved

that neither one of them

nominated me.

But it's kind of an

uncomfortable situation.

I don't know who

to send up there.

Honestly I don't know.

[dramatic music]

OK.

Let's start with Andrea.

Who is it?

My personal decision

is Danny, chef.

I felt like he was not loud and

I felt like he was very nervous

and did not deliver

on the pass, chef.

Danny.

Who should not be in

the final two and why?

Andrea should not be

in the final two, chef.

I just don't feel

like she's performed

throughout this competition

as strongly as I have.

I definitely deserve to be

here more than her, chef.

Paula.

Who should we eliminate

tonight and why?

Chef, my vote is for Andrea.

Andrea has a lot

of strengths, but

throughout the

entire competition

she has struggled several

times during service.

And tonight, I felt that

she was a little bit

overconfident being up

there for the first time.

Right.

My decision is Paula.

You belong in the final two.

Well done.

Thank you, chef.

Andrea, tell me why you

think you should join Paula.

I have assertiveness.

I have leadership in

the kitchen, chef.

Never once did I

falter at the pass.

And I know that I

can finish what I've

started to come here for, chef.

Danny.

Why should you join

Paula in the final?

A lot of chefs get up here

and they say, you know, this is

all that they know how to do.

You know what?

f*ck that, chef.

This is all I want to do.

You know that I

have what it takes

to run the restaurant Borgata.

OK.

The person leaving Hell's

Kitchen this evening

and not advancing to

the final is Andrea.

Take your jacket off, my dear

lady, and leave Hell's Kitchen.

Let me just say this.

You are one hell of

a determined fighter.

An asset in any kitchen.

Thank you, chef.

It's been an honor.

GORDON RAMSAY: You have

a lot to be proud of.

- Thank you.

- I really mean that.

Well done, my darling.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, chef.

GORDON RAMSAY: In terms

of flavor, it's spot on.

We have a spring chicken soup.

It is indicative of you

coming into manhood.

Andrea, well done.

ANDREA: "Hell's Kitchen" for

me has been one intense ride.

I have given everything

that I possibly could.

Pile of sh*t!

What are you doing?

Trying to get

it together, chef.

You can't even

f*cking admit when

you've done something wrong.

I don't feel like I've

done anything wrong.

I definitely have been

through some gnarly moments.

This is not going to break me.

This is what happens when

we don't work as a team.

We wind up eating

f*cking sh*t together.

But that's what life is about.

It's about figuring out who

you are, how much you can take,

how much you've grown.

- Andrea!

Yes, chef?

GORDON RAMSAY: Wellington's

cooked perfectly.

Yes, chef.

Thank you.

I came.

I performed.

I gave it my best, and

I'm taking the bronze home

as far as I'm concerned.

I leave with no bitter

taste in my mouth.

I leave with no

regrets whatsoever.

Danny, you can breathe now.

Relax a little bit.

Yes, chef.

Bloody well done

to both of you.

Thank you, chef.

Thank you, chef.

You are the final two.

But listen.

Your biggest test

begins right now.

Oh!

NARRATOR: Next time

on "Hell's Kitchen."

We started with , and

there's only two of you left.

I can't even describe it.

It's just such a

great feeling, man.

Woo.

Got a lot of work to do.

NARRATOR: Two Floridians,

Danny and Paula,

prepare for an epic battle.

It's going to be

a stiff competition.

This is all the marbles.

NARRATOR: They'll

redesign Hell's Kitchen.

So I want to, like, try

and work in, like, melon fish

somewhere.

Not into that?

NARRATOR: Create

their own menus.

You happy with that?

I am.

NARRATOR: And be

shocked by surprise.

Oh my god!

What?

NARRATOR: After surprise.

We're off to Atlantic City.

NARRATOR: Then back

in Hell's Kitchen,

when six eliminated

contestants return--

WOMAN: They're probably

like, oh, f*ck,

I got to work with her.

NARRATOR: --not everyone is

happy with the circumstances.

I thought it was

going to be me.

NARRATOR: Who will prove have

what it takes to be head chef

at Borgata in Atlantic City?

Will it be Danny, the executive

chef from Edgewater, Florida?

DANNY: My biggest test

definitely lies before me.

NARRATOR: Or Paula,

the executive sous

chef from Pompano, Florida?

PAULA: Today is a day

when it all happens.

NARRATOR: It's a jam-packed--

Oh!

NARRATOR: --thrilling--

Woo!

This is what I came here for.

NARRATOR: --special

episode of "Hell's Kitchen"

you don't want to miss.
