05x12 - 4 Chefs Compete

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously.

I'm shutting down

Hell's Kitchen.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay sent

the chefs on a mission--

Borgata just sent their jet.

You're all going

to Atlantic City.

NARRATOR: To see firsthand

all Borgata has to offer.

Feel's like a fat kid

rolling up on a cake shop.

NARRATOR: Including the site of

the winner's future restaurant.

OK.

This is it.

Breathtaking.

I will see you later.

NARRATOR: But while

everyone enjoyed

a relaxing dinner, Robert

suffered with chest pains--

PARAMEDIC: Blood

pressure's elevated.

NARRATOR: And was

rushed to the hospital.

When the chefs returned

to Hell's Kitchen,

they learned that Robert would

be leaving the competition.

I have pericarditis.

Are you coming back?

No.

NARRATOR: Then, it was back to

business for the final four,

as they were

challenged to create

a signature dish for Borgata.

CHEF RAMSAY: The stunning dish

that could be the highlight

of your restaurant at Borgata.

NARRATOR: Andrea was victorious

and was given the best

reward Chef Ramsey could offer.

Andrea, you are safe.

NARRATOR: Then, at

dinner service, Paula--

They're beautifully cooked.

NARRATOR: And Danny--

I'm going up to the window.

NARRATOR: Earned

Chef Ramsay's praise.

CHEF RAMSAY: Very nice, Danny.

Thank you, Chef.

NARRATOR: Ben however, was

lost on the garnish station.

You send me one more

cold veg, I swear to God,

you're f*cking history.

Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: And Andrea

failed miserably on fish.

Andrea, speed up.

Madam, it's raw.

I want to crawl out

of my body right now.

Andrea, you are so lucky to

have gotten that safe card.

NARRATOR: The four

remaining chaffs

managed to complete

dinner service,

but not to Chef

Ramsay's standards.

That was embarrassing.

No teamwork.

No fight.

As a team, decide

which two of you

should be nominated

for elimination.

NARRATOR: When it came

time to send someone home--

Ben is the first nominee.

Second nomination is Paula.

NARRATOR: But Chef

Ramsay changed things up.

Paula, back in line.

Andrea, step forward.

Ben, your performance tonight

was not as bad as Andrea's.

And had she not been safe

tonight, she would've gone.

NARRATOR: However, in the end

he kept his promise to Andrea--

Tomorrow morning,

I want to wake

up with a clear conscience.

NARRATOR: And gave

Ben another chance.

Back in line.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: And now, the

continuation of "Hell's

Kitchen."

Ben, just practice

one thing for me.

I was wrong.

- Yes, Chef.

Now, f*ck off.

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

This whole trip

to Hell's Kitchen

has been such a f*cking test

of my will and my-- my stamina.

Just emotionally f*cked.

I'll tell you right

now, man, today was a--

man, he told-- he

said some things

to me that just destroyed me.

I'm beaten up.

I'm a little down and out.

But the champion pushes through.

I think I'm holding the

world record for times

up on the f*cking block.

Now, Andrea knows

she's in some f*cking--

Andrea's having a little

meltdown or something, dude.

Andrea deserved to

go home tonight.

She knew it.

Everyone else knew it.

Chef knew it.

But if Andrea don't wake up,

you know, then, you know, later.

What's running through

your head, Andrea?

Drink

It's just a big

f*cking pill to swallow.

I do think Andrea's a fighter.

She's never given up.

I do think she should be here.

Everything he had to say

to me was f*cking harsh.

You cooked worse

than Ben tonight.

You couldn't handle

your station.

You've sunken.

You can't take

that and let that--

ANDREA: I'm not

letting it deflate me.

It's bringing out a

vicious side of me.

Hearing what I've heard

tonight from Chef Ramsay

makes me just want to bite back.

If you don't push

back, you know,

that's when you're out of here.

And if that was his job to

touch on-- on sh*t for me,

mission accomplished.

Mission f*cking accomplished.

CHEF RAMSAY: Let's go, guys.

New day, fresh start.

Yes, Chef.

PAULA: Chef Ramsay

has got some dishes up

there that he's finishing up.

I didn't really have much

of a clue what was going on.

But it's special when he

actually cooks for you.

Since you've been here,

yeah, each and everyone of you

have really understood

the importance of timing,

speed, and communication.

This morning's lesson

is accuracy, yes?

Here are three stunning dishes

that I serve, not just in New

York, but in London as well.

The most amazing duck, beef,

and a beautiful fish stew.

Come on.

What are you waiting for?

Dig in.

This is marvelous.

Looks good.

That sundried tomato

just sets it off.

Andrea, which

one do you prefer?

That is amazing.

CHEF RAMSAY: The fish?

Paula, which one do you like?

I'm going with the fish.

It's all cooked in one pan.

Nothing's cooked separately.

It's all cooked inside.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): I

liked the ducked the most.

I cook the hell out of seafood.

And ironically enough, I'm

not a big seafood person.

It's just not really my thing.

Ben?

Fish stew is probably one of

my, bar none, favorite things

to eat in the world.

CHEF RAMSAY: Good, because

the majority of you

enjoyed the fish, yes?

- Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: That's your

next challenge this morning.

You've tasted it.

Now, make it.

You got half an hour

to recreate this dish.

Go.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay

believes the taste

it, now make it

challenge separates

the chefs from the cooks.

CHEF RAMSAY: Come on, Danny.

- Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Taste and think.

NARRATOR: Everything needed

to make Chef Ramsay's

fish stew is in Hell's Kitchen.

But the chefs have to know

what they're looking for,

if they're going to solve the

taste it, now make it riddle.

I was expecting, you know,

a couple fish to choose from.

And there's like different

kinds of fish in their.

Halibut?

Yeah, that's it.

You just have to make a

decision and stick by it.

And that's what I'm good at.

And that's what I did.

The red Snapper was the

first fish that I grabbed.

You know, but I did not use

the Snapper because of the way

it looked.

It was too thin.

What is that?

It's the Snapper.

NARRATOR: Danny

has decided to use

the red Snapper,

well Ben, Andrea,

and Paula have all

gone with halibut.

Come on, guys.

There's nothing

on the stove yet.

NARRATOR: While Andrea has

chosen to use bay scallops,

the other chefs are using

the larger sea scallops.

BEN (VOICEOVER):

What the f*ck are

you doing using bay scallops?

We're talking about

something that's

less than half the

size of the scallop

that Chef used in his dish.

Andrea's entry completely

out of her depth.

NARRATOR: Three

of the four chefs

have decided to use

fish stock as a base.

What's that there, Ben?

Fish stock.

NARRATOR: While Paula

has opted for water.

Chef Ramsay's broth

was nice and clear.

So I just-- I didn't see

a need to use fish stick.

NARRATOR: All the

chefs have correctly

identified that there's

liquor in the dish.

But Danny and Paula

have chosen white wine,

while Andrea is using sambuca.

Right when I tasted

Chef Ramsay's dish,

the first thing I

tasted was Perignon.

NARRATOR: Not that he's willing

to share this information

with anyone else.

Ben, your alcohol

is community property.

Yes?

Yes, Chef-- I--

Yeah, I don't care,

you shellfish bastard.

No.

Yeah.

That's what we call

you in a kitchen.

BEN: I'll put it back, Chef.

I was shocked by that.

I could've played

that catty game.

But I-- I decided that that

wasn't the noble route to go.

Three minutes to go.

Come on.

Yes, Chef.

You should be

identifying everything

inside that bowl, yes?

DANNY: Yes, Chef.

I was at that dish every two

seconds, tasting, tasting,

tasting, because the

bottom line is my dish has

to take exactly like that dish.

I was not confident that

I had chosen right seafood.

It was definitely

looking, you know,

to see what everybody

else was utilizing.

Andrea, keep to yourself, yes?

Yes, Chef.

Andrea tried to look at

what everybody else is doing.

You know, it is

kind of annoying.

You know, this is an

individual competition.

, , , , , , , , , .

And serve.

OK.

Andrea, let's go.

NARRATOR: Now,

Chef Ramsay samples

the aspiring chefs' dishes.

It's actually quite nice.

Thank you, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Ben.

NARRATOR: Looking

not only for the one

with the most

correct ingredients--

BEN (VOICEOVER): My

palette is no joke here.

I think my dish was great.

Nice flavor.

Yes?

Paula.

NARRATOR: But also the

one that best captures

the subtle flavors of his dish.

Flavor is delicious.

It's nice and light.

Danny.

NARRATOR: The chef

that comes the closest

will win the challenge.

CHEF RAMSAY: Yeah, it's nice.

Rustic, in terms of flavor.

I think that you blindfold

some and tasted two.

I think that I came

through with an extremely

similar final product.

Four seriously good attempts.

Time OK.

Three you had halibut.

Only one of you had Snapper.

Danny, well done.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Ben, damn, what a shame.

I thought I saw it in your hand.

Did you use the Perignon?

I did, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: You were the

only one who got that right.

Ben, Danny, Paula

all had sea scallops.

You had bay scallops.

That, without even

tasting it, you

could just look

at the difference

between a bay scallop up,

yes, and a dive scallop, yes?

You definitely,

definitely haven't won.

Tough.

I didn't see big

scallops in there.

That's it.

I didn't see them.

Ben, too much saffron.

Your lips and my lips are

f*cking bright yellow.

Absolutely, you know, at the

limit there with saffron.

Not good enough.

OK.

It's down to Danny and Paula.

Danny, Paula, pass me your dish.

This will definitely,

definitely separate

the chefs from the cooks.

Danny?

- Yes, Chef.

Yeah, it's nice.

Bold in terms of flavor.

You know, I'm definitely

the front runner

in this competition.

And I'm definitely

the one to b*at.

And Paula, I don't think

that she's better than me.

Paula, really good.

Really good.

Visually, I thought that

mine looked closer to Chef

Ramsay's dish than Danny's did.

But the taste, of

course, comes first.

Two very good tasting dishes.

The thing that's

separating you is

as thin as a strand of saffron.

Yes, I'm serious here.

Really hard.

Very, very difficult. It's hard.

It's so hard.

I'm going for the

one that didn't

use water, who used stock.

Congratulations, Danny.

Well done.

Yes.

Thank you, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: They

were all delicious.

But the challenge was

taste it, now make it.

That's the closest.

It feels great to finally win.

Yes.

CHEF RAMSAY: Well done.

Absolutely spot on.

PAULA (VOICEOVER): I thought I

should've taken this challenge.

I honestly thought I had

more ingredients that

were correct than Danny had.

That's what really

pissed me off.

OK, Danny, you

and I are embarking

on an amazing little adventure.

Look after these, yes?

Oh, no way.

You scared of heights?

No, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Good.

Hurry up, because of

limo's waiting for us.

Yes, Chef.

Thank you.

When he said, are you afraid

of heights, I was thinking,

oh, a hot air balloon.

But then, I don't know if

would wear these wild goggles

on a hot air balloon.

Oh, f*ck me.

CHEF RAMSAY: OK.

Today, you'll be working

with Jean-Philippe.

We're going through

every ounce of crystal

inside Hell's Kitchen, hand it.

Yes?

Polishing our cutlery.

And then, we're gonna

clean our carpets.

I'd really appreciate

that you do this

with some form of

speed, because there's

a second task on top of that.

All three of you will be

prepping the kitchen ahead

of tonight's dinner service.

That's right,

tonight, we're open.

Is that clear?

Yes, Chef.

ANDREA (VOICEOVER): This is not

what what I want to be doing.

This is not what I'm here for.

Hello.

Welcome to my world.

I need this restaurant

really to be immaculate.

Let's kick off.

And I'll see you in a bit.

I'm f*cking tired.

I'm cranky.

I'm bummed.

I'm exhausted.

Bye, guys.

Bye, Danny.

Bye, Dan.

See you later.

Nobody likes to lose, so

I'm officially a sore loser.

Hello, Chef.

Let's go, big boy.

- Yes, sir.

- Excited?

Very.

Well done.

Good to see you.

- Thank you.

- Jump in.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): Oh, yeah.

Chef Ramsay out of the

kitchen is awesome.

You know, he's just

like one of the guys.

You have seriously

evolved and got

very, very strong over the

last three, four weeks.

Every dinner service I

mature a little bit and Chef

is recognizing that.

And it feels great.

I've always aspired

to be a great chef.

You must be so pleased with

your level of achievement

so far.

I'm going to succeed

in this business.

All right.

Oh my god.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): Pull right up

to this awesome looking plane.

Real decked out, clean, shiny.

Welcome to Biplane Fun.

Thank you.

I was like, yeah, biplane.

We're going for a

nice little ride.

CHEF RAMSAY: Holy sh*t.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): I've never

been on like the open cabin

plane like that, you know.

And the frigging wind

is whipping, you know.

We're going like

miles and hour.

And just to be able to, like,

look over the side to see

the ocean, it was awesome.

NARRATOR: While Danny and

Chef Ramsay are flying

high, back at Hell's

Kitchen, Andrea

is about as low as she can go.

Right now, I am drained.

I miss my family.

I miss my friends.

I miss my life.

Every day in Hell's

Kitchen is like taking

a year off of my life.

Andrea was just negative

and pouting and whining.

ANDREA (VOICEOVER): I wouldn't

wish this on my worst enemy.

We're all tired.

What are you going to

whine and cry about here?

Life is too important to

be stressed out like this.

My hair hurts.

I miss my family so much.

My fingernails are sore.

Maybe I could hang

myself with dental floss.

Andrea has a

horrible attitude.

You know, she's got to

find it in herself to move

forward and just get over it.

What do you think Danny's doing?

I don't know.

We really feel the g-forces

pushing you back in your seat.

We were mad men.

It was crazy.

It was-- it was an

awesome experience.

PILOT: Gordon, we're gonna

just skim the water up ahead.

That is amazing.

Good?

Bloody hell.

Fantastic.

Absolutely amazing up there.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): It was

just overwhelming today.

Definitely the best prize yet.

There wasn't-- there was

a time where I was sh1tting

myself at one stage, you know.

I think that the

servers are on their way.

We should probably

try and take two

minutes just to set up each

station and continue prepping.

What do you think?

- I have a better plan.

Why don't we all just

rebel and go home?

BEN (VOICEOVER): There's

only so much drama

you can bring into the kitchen.

You can't wear your

mood on your sleeve.

My shoulders are sh*t.

You know, that being

said, Andrea, I believe,

will be the next person

to leave Hell's Kitchen.

You son of a f*cking bitch.

BEN (VOICEOVER):

And then, obviously,

myself, Danny, and Paula can

then get down to business.

The more people

that are getting

stressed out, that's

better for me.

Come on.

It's a game.

And I know how to play the game.

That's looks a borderline

scary right now, Andrea.

Hey, Danny.

Hi, guys.

[interposing voices]

That is what you

guys went to do.

That's cool.

Little biplane.

Baron Danny.

That's so funny.

Yes.

NARRATOR: It's minutes

until Hell's Kitchen opens.

And the chefs are

putting the final touches

on their preparation

for dinner service.

Hey, Paula, was there

any watercress left over?

I feel good about today.

I won the challenge.

I did a little biplane ride.

Came back here, everything

was set up for me.

I'm in no danger of going home.

What's this pot here for?

I'm always in danger

of going home.

I don't have any energy

to stress out right now.

I am going to perform to

the best of my ability

tonight, like I do every night.

CHEF RAMSAY: Two

seconds, Please, guys.

Yes, chef.

Danny, nice to see your

feet back on the ground.

OK.

Whilst out and about flying

in and amongst the clouds with

Danny today, I had a thought.

Here we go again.

Here we f*cking go again.

Before dinner service begins,

each and every one of you

get back to the dorms, yeah.

There's something there

I'd like you to see.

Now.

Quick.

Up.

Yeah.

ANDREA: I'm scared.

We were all like, oh

my god, what's upstairs.

Is it good?

Is it bad?

We don't know.

Holy sh*t.

No way.

Sweet.

Yeah, dude.

ANDREA (VOICEOVER):

When we got up there,

there was a set of the

hottest pods out there.

And we've had the

privilege of working

with them in Hell's Kitchen.

They are just amazing.

Wow.

Dude, I love these pans.

They're like my favorite pans.

So it was just-- that's awesome.

Great gift.

It says, please enjoy this

fine stainless steel cookware.

It's from my signature line

of cookware from Royal Dalton.

How do you like that?

And we got our first

signature from Chef.

Wow, man.

This is awesome.

Awesome.

That's something else, man.

You guys ready to roll?

Let's go downstairs.

That was sweet.

[interposing voices]

You deserve it.

OK.

It's pretty obvious that

there is a good chef in each

and every one of you.

That's why you're here.

Yes?

Yes, Chef.

Before that first ticket

comes on board this evening,

I'm wiping the slate clean.

Whatever's happened,

whatever came back,

whatever got over

cooked, under cooked,

over seasoned, under

seasoned, bang, erase it, yes?

Wiping the slate clean.

Yeah.

I liked my slate, you know?

I mean, some other

people will be like,

oh, slate's wiped clean.

I don't know how

I feel about that.

You are my dream team.

Prove it tonight.

I mean, we've all

had bad services.

And we've all had good services.

Tonight is gonna be perfect.

Is that clear?

Yes, Chef.

Move.

Hey, open Hell's

Kitchen please, yeah?

I'll start with the scallops.

Let's go.

One order, four

[inaudible],, table .

Two scallop, two spaghetti.

Entree, two lamb,

two wellington in.

Yes, Chef.

If we get the

momentum going now,

we communicate, and

we hit public service.

If we disintegrate and stop

talking to each other, hey,

we're gonna start panicking.

The minute I hear it silent

and flat, I'm gonna remind you.

- Yes, Chef.

- Good.

Let's go.

I have three minutes

out on the spaghetti.

Heard.

You know, I'm

cool, I'm confident,

and ready to get it

done and hopefully

make Chef proud tonight.

Two spaghetti, two scallop.

Absolutely, two

spaghetti and a soup.

Hey, don't start

getting confused.

You're calling out the

wrong f*cking order.

Two spaghetti, two scallop.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes, Chef.

Concentrate.

BEN: Yes, chef.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): It's

a new day, new attitude,

but Ben is a little bit

frantic in the kitchen.

If he dodges another b*llet,

then Chef Ramsay is--

sees something that

no one else does.

CHEF RAMSAY: All I want is

that guy to do a proper service

without panicking.

That's all.

My goal tonight

is to make sure

that I don't give Chef Ramsay

one reason to yell at me

or be upset with any

of my performance.

I want the scallops.

Yep.

Perfect.

I hate using that word,

but yeah, perfect.

Risotto.

- It's ready.

It's ready seasoned,

ready to go, Chef.

Let's go.

Very nice, that risotto.

Thank you, Chef.

It felt good to get a little

acknowledgment from Chef Ramsay

today.

All I needed was a little

f*cking encouragement.

And you know, I got it.

CHEF RAMSAY: Beautiful.

Service, please.

NARRATOR: With Chef

Ramsay's encouragement--

Come on, Andrea.

We're there.

We're there.

We're there.

We're there.

Come on, let's go.

NARRATOR: The chefs are off

to their strongest start yet.

It was really a team

effort on everybody's part.

And Chef Ramsay was pushing

us forward and, you know,

rooting us on.

- Let's go.

Yes, Chef.

It was great.

It was a great feeling.

[inaudible] is complete

there-- table .

Oh, yeah, delicious.

Hey, keep this up, guys, yes?

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Let's go.

Look at me.

One minute from now,

drop two spaghetti.

Yes, chef.

You, you're putting spaghetti

in water that's not boiling.

It's just coming

up right now, Chef.

That's why I dropped it, Chef.

Oh, f*ck me.

BEN: Sorry, Chef.

Come here a minute.

Come here.

Come on.

Quick.

Move.

Run.

Yes, yes.

Yes, Chef.

Listen to the call.

If you don't get it, Chef,

pardon, what did you say?

Yes, Chef.

Listen and you'll do well.

Yes, Chef.

Why are you jumping ahead?

Always a sign of

a chef panicking.

NARRATOR: It's minutes

into dinner service

and appetizers are flying

out of the kitchen.

Now, Chef Ramsay is

looking for the chefs

to work together getting

entrees out as well.

Let's go.

Two lamb, two wellington.

One John Dory, one salmon.

Andrea.

I need the call.

I need the communication,

crucial for the team.

- Three minutes out right now.

- Fine.

Three minutes.

Meat goes down,

we all go down.

It's a crucial station.

Wellington.

CHEF RAMSAY: Andrea.

Andrea.

Yes, Chef?

Wellington's cooked perfectly.

Yes, Chef.

Thank you.

The first table,

perfectly done.

Yes, chef.

Unreal.

Service, please.

NARRATOR: With Andrea

delivering on the meat station,

Chef Ramsay is eager to

push out more appetizers.

Three risotto, one scallop.

After that, two

scallops, two risotto.

- Speed it up, you.

- Yes, Chef.

- Speed it up, yes?

- Yes, Chef.

Some people, you

squeeze, they fold.

Some people, you

squeeze, they produce.

Chef Ramsay, he's kicked a

tire and lit the fire with me.

Man, you up on that risotto.

Yeah, absolutely.

Go window.

All right.

Let's go window.

CHEF RAMSAY: Stop.

That's bland.

No seasoning.

No salt. No Parmesan.

That's called bland.

Bland.

Is that you now switching off?

No, Chef.

Have you gone?

No way, Chef.

PAULA (VOICEOVER):

Ben was getting

rocked a little bit there again

on that appetizer station.

Chef was pouncing on him.

And he should be

performing better, based

on all of his experiences.

Look at me.

It's bland.

Yes, Chef.

Paula, two dory, one

salmon, one wellington, yes?

Yes, Chef.

Hurry up.

Andrea, don't

cut that just yet.

I only heard one dory.

So I just put the other one in.

Thank you.

How long, please, Paula.

Chef, I still need one and

a half minute for the dory.

I've got to keep

you momentum, Paula.

Yes, Chef.

One and a half minutes.

Don't slow the

kitchen down, Paula.

We've got to speed up.

Yes, Chef.

I still make mistakes.

And I think a lot of that

is due to the added stress

that Chef puts on stations.

That's what Chef Ramsay's doing.

He's creating a challenge.

You know, that's what

this competition is.

Paula?

Paula?

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: You're

the slowest so far.

Look at me, madam.

Yes.

Turn up.

A notch.

Yes, Chef.

Madam, wake up.

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Come on.

NARRATOR: An hour and a half and

a dinner service, the kitchen

continues to work on entrees

and appetizers at the same time.

And Chef Ramsay is anxious

to keep the momentum going.

Ben, mixed salad, yeah,

with plain vinaigrette

for the vegetarian, yes?

BEN: Yes, Chef.

Would you like tuna on

this as well or just--

CHEF RAMSAY: Oh, f*ck me.

It's a vegetarian.

You-- do you want tuna on this?

BEN: No.

CHEF RAMSAY: Shut up.

Yes, Chef.

That's the salad

with plain vinaigrette?

Yes, Chef.

You know, my thing is this,

if you're not sure, ask.

So I'll ask.

I'll take an ass

whipping for it.

But at least I know for sure.

There's not croutons in there.

f*ck me.

JEAN-PHILIPPE: Strictly

green salad, Chef.

I know.

I f*cking told

him a green salad.

f*cking hell.

Always one.

Here we go.

This is the start.

This is the

beginning of the end.

Hey, is this the wind up now?

- No, Chef.

Not at all, Chef.

Plain f*cking salad.

Did you go to school?

- Yes, Chef.

You don't know how

to make plain salad?

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Oh, my god--

plain salad.

BEN (VOICEOVER): Chef Ramsay's

goes at me hard all the time.

And the only reason

I can come up with

is that he sees that potential

to be the champ of this thing.

And that's why he

constantly pushes me.

What does a plain salad

mean here in America?

Hey.

- Just means plain lettuce.

Plain f*cking salad.

Service.

NARRATOR: While Ben

tries to recover,

out in the dining room,

one of the patrons

has a special request.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Chef, I do have two

tables of two here.

One of them is a proposal.

What?

One of them is a proposal.

CHEF RAMSAY: One's a proposal?

- They're just sitting--

In Hell's Kitchen?

JEAN-PHILIPPE: Yes.

This is the ring.

Yeah?

What do you think?

Doesn't really suit you, sir.

Oh, dear.

How the hell-- they

in a romantic mood?

Yeah, they are.

He's a bit nervous, yeah.

NARRATOR: With the

proposal minutes away--

I need the garnish

first, Danny, yes?

Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay

puts it aside to focus

on pushing out entrees.

CHEF RAMSAY: Dory,

salmon, where is it?

Danny, you ready?

Dory, salmon?

Give me one more second.

CHEF RAMSAY: Come on, guys.

You're so nearly there.

Come on.

Garnish Danny, now.

Yes, Chef.

ANDREA (VOICEOVER): Danny seemed

to be dragging on garnishes.

And I know that he hates

the garnish station.

That's like the bane of his

existence in Hell's Kitchen.

- Don't keep me waiting, Danny.

- Yes, Chef.

Don't keep me waiting.

Let's go.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): Tonight

was pretty fast paced.

And then, I started,

like, getting that panic.

CHEF RAMSAY: Come on, Danny.

Yes, chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Come on, Danny.

I can't put anything

on the plate,

unless you got the carrot puree.

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Finger

can't hear me from there,

clean your f*cking ears out.

NARRATOR: While Danny

tries to stay in control

on the garnish

station, Andrea is

looking to continue

her strong performance

on the meat station.

Where's the

wellington, please?

Coming right now, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Two medium

first, please, yes?

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Good girl.

Let's go.

Those two mediums are

your left-hand side.

Here, yes?

Thank you.

Coming with sauces.

I got the sauces

there already.

Thank you.

The station was rocking tonight.

It was rocking.

How long on that welly?

We need two more

minutes out on that?

I was up on everything.

I was ahead of everything.

It's the type of performance

that I expect from myself.

That's beautifully

cooked, those wellingtons.

Beautifully cooked.

Nice job.

Thank you, Chef.

BEN (VOICEOVER): Andrea

really shocked me tonight.

She came through with some

really nice looking meat.

Don't start pissing

your knickers.

Let's go.

I just don't think

she deserves to go home.

NARRATOR: While Andrea

enjoys a rare compliment,

Chef Ramsay looks to

Ben to keep up the pace.

After two spaghetti,

two risotto.

Two risotto, two scallops,

one spaghetti, one Caesar.

Yes, Chef.

Drop the spaghetti.

Yes, Chef.

CHEF RAMSAY: Look at me.

It's the best start

we've ever had so far.

Don't anybody screw it.

Yes, Chef.

PAULA: Ben, give me a time, Ben.

Yes.

I-- I'm going to drop the

pasta in just a minute here.

Let's go seven minutes.

- Seven minutes?

Why hasn't he dropped it?

I told you drop the next one,

so we got momentum going, Ben.

Yes, Chef.

Oh my god.

BEN (VOICEOVER): I forgot

to drop pasta one time.

What are you going to do?

The water's boiling.

The pasta will be

done when it's done.

He's shafting you.

Yeah?

He's not talking.

He doesn't give a f*ck.

He's not even gonna tell

you what's going on.

I just dropped it.

It's going to be seven

minutes from now.

- Is that the one?

- Yes, they go for the scallop.

Yes.

PAULA (VOICEOVER): Chef told

him to drop some pastas.

He didn't drop the pasta.

You can't afford to have one

bad day here, not anymore.

Oh my god.

Here we go.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): I just

kind of got a kick out

of watching Ben bury himself.

I thought it was a

little bit funny.

Had to make yourself

look like a d*ck.

NARRATOR: As Ben tries

to make up for lost time,

Andrea is hard at work

on her beef wellingtons.

I f*cked them up.

You all right?

ANDREA: They're dark.

Where's the other wellington?

Right here, Chef.

PAULA: What do you want

to do about these, dude?

I need to tell him.

I was terrified to tell him.

Chef, I f*cked these

wellington's up.

I don't know what to do here.

f*cking hell.

Andrea was doing excellent.

But she panicked again.

Not black.

Serve them like that

and keep them flat, yes?

Yes, Chef.

All right, two salmon,

two welly on deck.

That's our next ticket

after this one, guys.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: It's two hours

into dinner service

and Ben has completed

the appetizers.

Ben, hurry up.

Desserts are waiting next.

Move.

- Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: But a very important

dessert is about to be served.

Hey, come here you.

Where's the domes?

Come on.

Here we go.

Look at her face.

Crystal, we have been

together for so long.

I've always wanted

to do this, because I

know that I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I love you.

It's like being

stuck in prison

and then being able to

look out and see a rainbow.

What a special moment to be

in Hell's Kitchen, you know?

My darling,

congratulations, sweetheart.

Well done.

And congratulations.

Really well done.

Yes.

And thank god you said yes.

Absolutely beautiful.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Enjoy.

NARRATOR: With service

almost complete,

the chefs hurry to push

out the final orders.

Four minutes on those

two medium wellies.

Behind that, you have a chicken,

two lamb, and three wellies,

right?

- Yes, I do.

I do have those.

Behind that Andrea,

two more wellies, OK?

That's your all day.

Five all day?

You have five all day?

Andrea?

I counted the wellingtons.

They were all there.

And then, all of

a sudden, where's

the last two wellingtons?

I'm like, I don't know.

I'm down two.

Your short two?

What?

What the f*ck are you doing?

I did a miscount, Chef.

Andrea said, oh, sh*t,

I'm out of wellingtons.

I need two more.

Bam, me and Paula grabbed

her wellies, grabbed

her puff pastry, got it rolled.

We got it in the oven for.

How long for

those wellingtons?

minutes out, Chef.

Why now in the

last three tables?

Like him with the appetizers,

completely oblivious to keeping

the momentum in service.

Yes, Chef.

PAULA (VOICEOVER):

Ben was struggling

and Andrea was struggling.

That's half of your

kitchen right there.

So what do you think

is gonna happen?

Things are gonna be f*cked up.

Andrea, how long?

They could still be in

for two minutes, guys.

Andrea, you just

f*cked a perfect service.

It was just a

nightmare for me and I'm

kicking myself in the ass for

finishing as poorly as I did.

Last one.

Come on, Andrea.

Wellingtons.

ANDREA: Right now, Chef.

Painful, painful, painful.

Unreal.

What a shame.

Switch everything off, Danny.

- Yes, Chef.

OK, I'm gonna give

it to you straight.

What do I have to do

to get you to perform

% throughout service?

You could see the light

at the end of the tunnel.

You had it in your

grasp, but no.

We screwed it.

The last % of

service, I've never

been so bloody frustrated in

all my time in Hell's Kitchen,

because you just switched off.

And let's be honest, in a

fine dinging restaurant,

it's not how we start,

it's how we finish.

We're just about to

shatter somebody's dream.

All four of you, go

back to the dorms,

come up with a

consensus, one individual

that you all agree should

be leaving Hell's Kitchen

this evening.

Get back to the dorms.

- Yes, Chef.

I think you've got

some discussing to do.

Who wants to start it?

I'll start.

My choice is Andrea.

- Well-- go ahead--

- No, that's it.

No, I'll let you finish.

I'll let you finish.

Well I know that you're

relatively new to the game,

at least newer than I am.

The experience I

have in the kitchen,

running a brigade in

a huge establishment,

I am several levels above you.

You know, Andrea's

been horrible.

She's not someone I'd want

to have working for me,

ever, not in any circumstance.

Well, my decision's Ben.

Right on.

That's is based on

tonight's performance.

Again, rough service tonight?

Is that what you're saying?

I think that Andrea

with the wellingtons,

I think that that

was devastating.

I counted, with my own two

eyes, they were all there.

People just have trouble

owning up to their mistakes.

I counted them.

I had all of them there.

She just chose

Ben, because she

had no one better to choose.

Have you ever run a kitchen?

Yes.

How many people did

you have in your kitchen?

I don't really want

to go into details.

BEN (VOICEOVER):

Yeah, right, Andrea.

You know, you're .

You just came out

of culinary school.

Whatever.

At this point in

the competition,

it's kind of important

your experience.

Experience is everything

in this business.

I'm not gonna

sit here right now

and run down my f*cking

credentials to either of you.

I have the f*cking experience.

All right?

OK.

You know, Ben, I think

every station that you were

on since we've had services,

you crash and burn at some point

in each station, you know?

I'm floored.

For you to sit here and

tell me these things,

it just blows my mind.

You're f*cking

high on your horse--

No.

How experienced

you are, [inaudible]..

But yet, you make

simple mistakes.

Why are you having these

glitches in your station?

I'm not a line cook.

I don't cook on the line.

So f*cking Ben,

are you kidding me?

You think you're some

great chef and you're

beyond being on the line

and knowing how to cook?

You're not a chef to me.

You had more issues than

either one of us tonight.

I honestly don't think that

I was worse than the two of you

guys tonight.

Bogus, sweetheart.

And I've dealt with

the same thing.

Then, put me up there.

He needs to take it

like a man tonight.

I chose him and that's it.

I can not believe

that Paula would put

me on the block before Andrea.

It absolutely has to be some

sort of friendship thing.

You still went down.

I mean, I think you

went down harder

than you think you went down.

I'm not shifting my

decision to myself In.

A million years.

I would never, ever do that.

I have clawed my way to

where I am right now.

And I'm ready to

go to the Borgata.

And I don't give a sh*t

what any of them think.

Let's f*cking get

screamed and let the man

make the f*cking decision.

It's gonna suck.

NARRATOR: Chef

Ramsay has instructed

the team to come

together and agree

on one nominee for elimination.

Have you all come

to your consensus?

No, Chef.

No, Chef.

No?

Andrea, what happened?

Basically, it was a tie

between myself and then Chef--

Ben, Andrea, step forward.

Same faces different day.

Ben.

- Yes, Chef?

Truthfully, why should you

stay inside Hell's Kitchen

over Andrea?

Because I simply believe

I have more to offer

as a well-rounded chef and

a leader of a brigade that

would be at the

Borgata, more so than

Andrea is capable of doing.

That was short,

sharp, and powerful.

Andrea?

Yes, Chef?

What makes you think

you're much better than Ben?

Chef, I'm more

well-rounded than Ben.

I have given myself %

emotionally, mentally,

physically in this competition.

And I am ready to lead

a brigade at the Borgata

no matter what, Chef.

This is really hard.

Stop.

That's bland.

No seasoning.

No salt. That's called bland.

It's bland.

Yes, Chef.

Andrea, how long?

They could still be in

for two minutes, guys.

Andrea, you just

f*cked a perfect service.

My decision is Andrea,

you're staying.

Ben, take your jacket off

and leave Hell's Kitchen.

Yes, Chef.

Chef, thank you so much

for the opportunity.

This has been

absolutely incredible.

Let me just tell

you something.

Your effort and attitude

has been extraordinary.

You have an amazing

amount of energy

that any chef would love.

Hey, keep all of that.

- Yes, Chef.

- Well done.

Thank you, Chef.

By far the best dish

on the men's team.

Let's go, three man station.

Let's go.

Very nice, that risotto.

Thank you, Chef.

Being eliminated

from Hell's Kitchen,

I don't walk away sour.

I don't walk away upset.

I walk away with what

an incredible experience

this whole thing has been.

You're saying based on

everything you saw since I've

been here, you think I'm the

one on the chopping block,

Giovanni?

Are you f*cking serious?

I will cook circles around you.

I will circle you

like a f*cking moon.

You couldn't cook my cock.

Little sweet, little

schmaltz added.

I'm ready to unleash

the f*cking beast.

Come on.

That's right, baby.

This is the way you roll, right?

Private planes and helicopters

and dinner with Chef in San

Francisco, I've definitely

tasted the sweetness

of this competition.

[cheering]

You know, sad to go.

You know, upset that I

had to leave like this

and certainly upset that I

left at the time that I did.

But I'll live to

fight another day.

Andrea, back in line.

Yes, Chef.

From now on in, any

of these decisions

are not easy,

clearly not for you.

Clearly not for me.

But now, I'm looking at

the best of the best.

It's just been a

long, long battle.

I fought to be here

in this final three.

And I'm taking this.

I'm taking this to the end.

I feel like I'm the underdog.

But I'm not done.

I'm not f*cking done fighting.

I definitely think I have

what it takes to win this.

DANNY (VOICEOVER): I've

proven that I'm a competitor.

I've proven that

I'm the one to b*at.

I'm a f*cking culinary

prodigy man, you know.

Watch out.

Before you go

back to the dorms,

I want to give you

a little treat.

[screaming]

NARRATOR: Next time

on "Hell's Kitchen."

Here's some faces all

of you will recognize.

The final three are

thrilled to meet some VIPs,

until they find out they

have to cook for them.

I started to panic

just a little bit.

CHEF RAMSAY: Andrea, I'd

hurry up if I was you.

I'm getting nervous.

By far the most difficult

challenge we've had.

NARRATOR: The chefs must prove

that they can run the pass.

- Taste everything.

- Yes, Chef.

You run your f*cking kitchen.

You don't let the

kitchen run you.

Is that clear?

- Yes, Chef.

NARRATOR: While Danny--

One lamb, two

salmon, one wellington.

CHEF RAMSAY: Danny.

NARRATOR: And Paula--

Listen up, you guys.

Wait.

Excuse me.

Start over.

NARRATOR: Try desperately

to take charge.

This one counts, yes?

Yes, Chef.

One of you are going home.

NARRATOR: Andrea

goes on a power trip.

Come on.

I need dory now.

Dory right now.

You cook it.

It doesn't cook you, Scott.

Telling you right

now, I'm gonna

f*cking punch her in the face.

NARRATOR: You won't

believe what these chefs

will do to get to the top.

People are pretty shocked when

I put on my assertive panties.

NARRATOR: Two chefs move closer

to their dream of being head

chef at Borgata Atlantic City.

Big, big, big night.

Two of you will be

advancing to the final.

NARRATOR: Find out who, next

week on a shocking episode.

This is gonna be gnarly.

NARRATOR: On Hell's Kitchen.
