narrator: Previously on "Hell's Kitchen:
Head Chefs Only"... - Now!
narrator: The chefs faced a challenge that
tested their ability to work together and communicate--
I want one chef leaving each kitchen.
I'll leave. Go. Do it. Do it.
narrator: As Chef Ramsay forced them
to leave the kitchen one at a time--
Last man standing. One more round.
Let's go! - I can stay.
narrator: Leaving Hannah--
This is really where Chef Ramsay can see me shine.
narrator: And Brandon--
- Time to be a hero, yes? - Yes, Chef.
narrator: To work on all five of their teams' dishes.
Brandon, seafood is not seasoned!
Brandon, watch your halibut!
Brandon! Brandon! Brandon!
narrator: During judging-- - It's delicious.
The point goes to both of you. Well done.
narrator: Incredibly,
every chef secured a point for their team.
Point goes to both teams again.
Well done.
Chef Ramsay's making it rain points.
narrator: But ultimately, it was--
Hannah.
narrator: Who had the best dish.
I won it for my girls.
narrator: At dinner service--
Brittany! Wakey, wakey, Brit!
narrator: On the Red Team,
Brittany got off to a rocky start.
What was that?
We all feel like we're babysitting Brittany.
narrator: But was able to recover.
Service, please.
narrator: While the Blue Team was out of sync
all night.
- Two minutes? - You just said two.
And then you said I'm walking.
Chill. Just chill. Chill.
narrator: With Kyle struggling on fish--
Can we get the scallops urgently?
Let's go! together: Yes, Chef.
narrator: And Lulu on meat--
Ice-cold Wellington.
Lulu is delulu.
Come here, all of you.
narrator: They failed to complete service.
I'm done! Get out!
narrator: At elimination, the Blue Team nominated--
Lulu, Chef. narrator: And--
Kyle, Chef.
narrator: Despite being an early front runner, it was--
Lulu.
narrator: Who Chef Ramsay sent home,
ending her chance of becoming head chef
at Hell's Kitchen Foxwoods Resort Casino.
And now the continuation of "Hell's Kitchen."
Get out of here.
The dead weight has left the building.
- You're all right. - You're good, bro.
The best of the best of the Blue Team are remaining.
You are an asset to our team, bro.
- We want you. - I know.
It's hard, though, because you don't know
what he's going to do.
Honestly, I think the best two people on the Blue Team
are myself and Brandon.
But I just have to prove it.
Ugh!
Just flipping my scalp weave.
Wow.
This competition winding down really fast.
It is, man.
Every day, fewer and fewer.
But we still standing, so we got to keep going.
Absolutely.
You're one of the people here that I want to
go head-to-head with.
As you should.
I want to go head-to-head with the best, too, so--
- We all the same. - I want to go head-to-head
with somebody who's going to push me.
I don't want to be the same Whitney I was yesterday.
No, never.
I don't want to just be.
I want to be [bleep] great.
I want people to worry.
I want people to be scared of me.
Let's go.
Good morning. together: Good morning, Chef.
- How are we feeling? - Great, Chef.
- Good, Chef. - Right, listen up.
As chefs, we know that we have to be
continually cultivating our palates, refining our senses.
Yes, Chef.
And that starts at a very early age.
Dimples.
Try to cover them up, Egypt.
Not changed at all.
No.
Was there a moment you can remember when you literally
did fall in love with food?
Absolutely, Chef.
In fourth grade, we had a potluck.
And we weren't fortunate enough to have
food or anything in the house.
But my mom borrowed some rice and tomatoes
and stuff from her job.
And we made Spanish dirty rice together.
That's literally what sparked my love of it.
Amazing.
Next picture.
Aw.
Whit, look at that smile!
Cutie.
Wait, is that Whit smiling?
Oh, my God, alert the media.
Next picture.
Oh, no!
Love it.
Next picture.
- Yes. - Brittany--
- Yes. - look at those eyes!
Girl.
Take us back to those early childhood memories.
We were pretty competitive athletes growing up,
so my first smells were concession stands.
And now, like, if I go to a ballpark
and I don't smell those smells,
I don't like the experience at all.
Love it. Love it, love it, love it.
Next photo.
- That's me. - Wow, Amanda. Come on.
Love it.
Next picture.
Wow.
Joe, who are you scowling at?
Why you so pissed off even at that age?
Next picture.
What in the hell?
Who is this? Is that you?
Hell no.
What the is going on there?
It's like, my jaws are stuffed with candy.
Holy [bleep].
And the haircut-- well, it wasn't a haircut.
It was a bowl cut.
Perfect.
Oh, my God.
But I do remember, especially every Saturday and Sunday
after soccer practice,
the smell of a traditional breakfast.
And I can see my mum standing in the kitchen,
putting that together for all six of us.
What a [bleep] photo.
Can we move on, please, quickly?
Next.
Wait.
Aw.
Listen, we do have the same hairdresser, right?
Or maybe the same bowl?
Next photo.
Cutie.
Man.
There's one more.
So, Chef, this is back when I was skinny.
Great picture.
Chefs, it's amazing when you look at those photos
how quickly you're transported back.
It was those early years when many of you
began developing an appreciation
for a refined palate.
Today, we'll be testing just that.
It's time--
Oh, no, no.
for the blind taste test.
There it is.
I've waited all season.
I've waited years to compete in the blind taste test challenge.
Yo!
Welcome to Ramsay's Bed and Breakfast.
The blind taste test is the one challenge that returns
year after year because it is the ultimate test
of all your palates.
The team that correctly identifies the most ingredients
wins the challenge.
Let's go.
Round one.
Brandon and Amanda, come up to taste, please.
Egypt and Whits--
Ah [bleep].
in the cereal bowls.
Let's go.
narrator: In today's blind taste test,
each chef will taste four items.
They will have to rely strictly on their palates,
so they'll be wearing blindfolds--
Headphones on, please.
narrator: As well as headphones
that will be pumping blaring rock music.
Brandon!
OK, let's go.
narrator: If they get two ingredients wrong,
sticky maple syrup will get dumped on their teammates.
Don't hate me, Whit, OK?
Oh, man.
narrator: If they continue to get more wrong,
their teammates will get hit
with other messy breakfast items.
It's not my fault. It's Brandon's.
Remember that, Egypt.
Heard, Chef.
Number one, fresh peas.
Simple.
Mmm.
Come on, Brandon.
Potato?
.
Wrong.
Peas?
Yes!
- Well done. - That's peas!
OK.
Carrots.
Peas, carrots.
Choo-choo!
Carrots?
Congratulations.
Come on.

Eggs for carrots?
Let's go.
I know babies that have a better palate, Brandon.
Oh, God.
together: Oh!
That's cold! Oh!
How does it taste?
Ready?
Anchovy.
Ooh.
Oh, please, get this right, Brandon.
For the love of all that's breakfast, get this right!
Such a strong taste.
together: Anchovies?
Well done.
Let's round off with a classic.
Cheese?
Cheddar cheese.
Cheddar cheese?
Ah, yes.
- Cheddar. - Well done.
Nice job, Amanda.
Headphones off.
I feel like a waffle.
Whoop, whoop! Four for four.
Perfect score on the blind taste test.
That's like a life achievement right there.
narrator: Amanda's perfect score
has the Red Team up by two.
Next up, it will be Joe and Ann Marie tasting
and Brandon and Brittany in the bowls.
Headphones on. You good?
Dear God, is that some intense music.
Like--
I'm going to keep it easy.
Fresh, delicious tomatoes.
Come on, Joe.
Your dad's watching.

You're 50% tomato.
Pull it together.

Wow.
OK, Michelle, take it away.
Taking it like a champ.

Open up.
Shrimp.
Come on.
Fish.
- Standby. - Oh, no.
Oh!
Oh.
Bang goes the man bun.
Thank you, Chef.
Crab?
No.
Sorry, Brit.
It was my favorite cereal growing up.
This smells great.
Oh, my God.
I'll get a spoon.
Save it for later, you know?
A little straw.
OK, number four.
Turnips.
They have a distinct flavor.
Squash?
.
Let's end on a high, please.
Come on. Come on.
Come on, Ann Marie.
I have to get at least one point.
I can do this. I got it.
It's fine. All right.
OK.
Um... - I need something.
narrator: It's the second round
of the blind taste test challenge.
Come on, Ann Marie.
narrator: And Ann Marie is facing her last chance
to score a point for the Red Team.
Um...
I need something. Come on.
Parsnip.
So close.
Eggs.
Oh!
Ugh.
Close match. It's 4 to 3, guys.
Come on, Hannah Banana.
I'll try my best, you guys.
I got you.
OK, let's start off with something simple, right?
Zucchini.
Mmm.
Choo-choo.
I am literally being spoon-fed by Chef Ramsay right now.
I've waited my whole life for this moment.
Zucchini?
- Yes! - Go Red.
- Well done. - Cucumber?
Oh, [bleep].
Pecans.
Mmm.
Kyle's face, is he going to be sick?
My God.
Almonds?
Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Pecans?
Yes!
Yes, Hannah.
Right, next up, New York strip.
But I'll take steak or beef.
Choo-choo!
Let's go. It's an easy one.
Mmm.
Chicken.

Joe, here comes the cereal.
Scaring me.
Turkey?
Wrong.
Last one.
This is sweet potato.
Here we go.
Potato?
- It's not right. - No.
Wrong.
Oh.
Man.
Right now, I'm either going to laugh
or punch Kyle in the face.
So I'm deciding to laugh.
Come on.
Sweet potato?
Oh, my God.
- There you go. - Yes!
Well done.
Headphones off.
Nailed it.
Kicking ass and taking names right now.
Egypt and Whit, step forward, please.
Thank you.
Red Team, huge lead, 7 to 3.
That means Blue Team, you have to get
every one of these right.
No pressure, Egypt.
- No pressure at all, Chef. - No pressure, my man.
You know, I'm not worried about it.
I got this.
Cauliflower.
Come on.
Come on, Egypt.
Redemption time.
Here we go.
Yellow squash?
Oh.
Yes! Yes!
Red Team, congratulations.
We're going to continue playing.
Let's finish this round.
Whoo! Red Team.
Red Team.
Go, Red Team.
I didn't really help, but good job, team.
Come on, Whit.
Lima bean.
Wrong.
Let's go a bit easier, shall we?
Strawberries.
She'll get this.
Choo-choo!
Strawberry.
Pineapple.
No!
Bruh.
Wrong.
.
Kyle, close your mouth!
Yes, Chef. Thank you, Chef.
OK, final one. Here we go.
Potato.
Oh, good. Come on, Whit.
Potato.
Yes!
Well done.
Pumpkin.
Oh, no!
Sorry, bro.
This is not how I expected this blind taste test to go.
I didn't think the Blue Team would [bleep] the bed
like they did today.
Right, ladies, well done.
You seriously did rely on your palettes
to discover the sweet taste of success.
But this reward, I promise you,
is going to be even sweeter because
I'm sending you all to a dessert party.
Honestly, it looks like you've won the golden ticket,
right? together: Yes, Chef.
Room for a treat.
There's also another sweet little surprise for you
back in the dorms.
Well done.
Now, Blue Team, you also get a sugary surprise.
I need you to clean all the maple syrup--
.
sugar cereals from the dining room, OK?
We have a very, very important
dinner service tonight.
So I want this thing back to where you found it.
Sorry, Blue Team.
Hope we didn't make too much of a mess for you.
Oh wait, no, that was guys making the mess, losing.
What? What?
Ladies!
Whoa!
- A coffee maker? - Whoa!
A salad spinner!
We walk into the dorms.
And over the table is all of this baking equipment
and bowls and utensils and a coffee maker
and a salad spinner.
I've never had a salad spinner, so I'm excited.
"Congratulations, Chefs,
"on making it this far in the competition.
"Along with these goodies, all five of you
"will be receiving a $250 shopping spree for more items.
Thank you, OXO.
This is so cool.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, Chef!
narrator: While the Red Team relishes
in their sweet victory,
the Blue Team begins cleaning up the sugary mess.
I clean up after my kids enough at home.
I didn't think I was going to have to be cleaning up
cereal here at Hell's Kitchen.
Oh, it's so [bleep] sticky.
What a bitch.
Keep it there.
This is by far the worst bed and breakfast
I've ever been to.
This [bleep] is sticky as all hell.
Oh, my gosh. - Yeah, it's gross.
Now I know what Cinderella feels like.
Scrub-a-dub-dub.
Thanks, guys.
You're welcome, Brittany.
Don't get too sticky, guys.
It's getting old.
I mean, we hear it every [bleep] challenge.
We're always out busting our ass, doing, you know,
God knows what.
And Red Team walks by talking [bleep].
As always, nothing new.
Guys, I think we're kind of getting
the [bleep] end of the stick on this thing.
- You think? - Why do you say that?
I'm just kind of sick of, like--
- Losing? - Yeah.
At the end of the day, you got to [bleep] win.
And I'm not.
It's not my fault. It sucks.
- I'm over this. - This one sucks.
gross.
Oh, man, that sucked.
I cannot wait to see my wife and kids.
I really miss my family right now.
And I'm feeling it.
Every day at home, I work my ass off.
If I'm having a bad day, my wife and my kids are there.
It's so weird being away for so long.
You telling me, bro.
narrator: While Joe is down in the dumps,
the Red Team is riding high in the dessert suite.
- Oh, damn! - Holy.
Look at that.
These are, like, legit deserts.
Holy crap.
Everything looks amazing.
I'm ready for a sugar rush.
Oh, my God!
I feel like I won the golden ticket.
So I'm just waiting for the Oompa-Loompa to pop out.
Look how cool this is.
That is insane.
- This is cake. - No way.
You're just like, is this a real cake?
Look how cute.
I'm cutting into the Wellington.
Oh, the whole-- guys, this is cake.
I go to cut the beef Wellington
on the cutting board, but it's not a cutting board.
It is this massive cake.
This is cool.
Cheers to not being the Blue Team right now.
- Cheers to that. - Cleaning up all that syrup.
Nasty.
I can't wipe the smile off my face.
Oh, you earned it, girl.
I've always wanted to do that.
And, like, I did that [bleep].
You slayed that [bleep].
You did.
I am on cloud nine.
Girls, we deserve this [bleep].
Guys, I heard the pool table's chocolate, too.
Somebody take a bite?
Oh, wouldn't that be funny?
Are these balls cake?
narrator: The Red Team is coming down
from their sugar high.
And both teams are prepping for dinner service.
10, 12, 14.
How are you guys looking over there?
- Good. - Good.
You guys, we got some larger, thicker scallops tonight.
Just a heads-up.
Tonight, I'm prepping the fish station.
I was on fish last night,
so I know how to kind of get it set up the way that works.
And I'm ready for tonight.
You do it all on heat, right, Hannah?
Yeah.
Make sure it's nice and hot when you emulsify it in.
- Yeah. - Because otherwise,
when it gets hot later, it'll break.
Get it together, Brittany. Like, for real.
Like, everybody has to help you out,
every station, every night.
Like, no one else needs as much help as you do.
This isn't fennel and tomato?
This is fennel and tomato mixed, yes.
It should be clam and tomato, right?
Oh, my God.
Joe, what's wrong?
I miss my kids, man.
I think I'm doing good with this competition.
And I think Chef sees that.
And I'm pushing.
And I'm less nervous in the kitchen.
And it's all great.
But my heart hurts, man.
Are you guys feeling good?
I'm like, tired.
I miss my wife and my kids.
I have two beautiful daughters at home.
They're the reason I go to work and push every day.
And I haven't seen them.
I haven't heard their voices.
I miss my family.
- Joe, you need a hug? - No.
Come here, Joe.
Heard, let me know if you do.
- All right, ladies. - Hi, Chef.
Welcome back.
- All right. - Marino?
- Si, Chef? - Open Hell's Kitchen, please.
Let's go. - Subito.
narrator: Hell's Kitchen continues to be
the hottest reservation on the East Coast.
together: To Hell's Kitchen!
I'll have a Crown Royal and Coke.
narrator: Tonight's VIPs include
two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom
dining in the Blue kitchen.
Lamar [bleep] Odom, y'all?
Of course, I know who Lamar Odom is
because of Khloe Kardashian.
Like, duh.
- Welcome. - How are you, sir?
So good to see you, honestly.
narrator: And world-renowned magicians Penn and Teller
dining in the Red kitchen.
- Welcome to the chef's table. - Thank you.
I know you're up against it time-wise.
You have an exciting show tonight.
Fingers crossed that we have a good service.
I may be there myself.
narrator: This evening, the legendary magic duo
have a performance at Foxwoods Premier Theater.
Penn and Teller need to get out first.
narrator: And they will only have 75 minutes for dinner.
Are they going to do a magic trick?
- I don't know. Maybe. - Make the food disappear?
narrator: As will many of the diners,
including a few of their devoted fans.
I think the Blue Team could use a little magic.
Here we go.
Blue Team, you're out the gate first.
Four covers, two risotto, and two scallops.
together: Yes, Chef. - Let's go.
- Two scallop, eight out. - Let's do it.
Tonight is the night to bring it
and show Chef Ramsay that all four of us on the Blue Team
can hold our own.
Let's go, boys!
Let's [bleep] go! - We got this, guys.
- Let's go! - Exactly four people,
that's one person per station tonight.
Let's go, guys! Let's go!
- Yes, Chef! - Hurry up!
Come on, Joe. [bleep].
Let the pan do the work, Joe.
Look, you're holding the spoon awkward.
Let me show you again. I know, but you're just there.
Let the pan do the work for you, yes?
Yes, Chef.
Yes, so just get practical with it, OK?
This is the first time I'm working fish alone.
- Joe, are you ready to walk? - Walk?
With lobster? Are you ready?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Walking.
This is hard for me because I've never spent this much time
away from my wife and kids.
So, like, I'm trying not to think too much.
How long, Blue Team?
Walking now, Chef.
I'm just trying to make it through the dinner service.
Down, Joe. Come on, down.
Go. Go, go, go.
OK, James? - Yes, sir.
Nicely cooked, those scallops, Joe.
Thank you, Chef.
Service, please.
Oh, my God, that's so good.
It is so good.
narrator: With Joe able to keep his head above water--
- Joe? - Yes, Chef?
Get your head up. Quickly.
- Yes, Chef. - Yes?
- Yes. - Quickly.
Yes, Chef.
narrator: It's time to see if the Red Team
will sink or swim.
OK, ladies, here we go.
On order, four covers, table 34, yeah?
Two risotto, one Caesar, one scallop.
together: Yes, Chef!
Let's go!
Two risotto, five out.
Heard, five out.
Brittany is my partner on apps tonight.
I'm confident in Brittany if she's confident in herself.
You want a little bit more veg stock in this?
Squeeze of water.
Squeeze of water, heard.
Hannah, two minutes on two riso.
Two minutes, two riso.
All right, Hannah, I'm dropping, yeah?
Yeah, you're good to drop.
Heard, good to drop.
I'm looking at my scallops.
And they're all different sizes in the same portion.
My station was not set up properly.
I put too much faith in Brittany.
I know better.
Walking riso in 20 seconds.
Heard that, scallops same.
- I'll run it for you, baby. - Not yet.
I'm waiting on Amanda. - OK.
I want to make sure we go up together.
- OK. - You ready?
- Give me one second. - All right.
They split long-ways.
Walking scallops.
All right, Brit. Walk it, walk it, walk it.
Riso walking.
Thank you.
Amanda?
narrator: It's 20 minutes into dinner service--
He's going to send that back.
It's split long-ways.
Walking scallops.
narrator: And the Red Team's appetizers
have just made it to the pass.
I don't know what happened here.
It's like--
- No. - Cut the wrong way.
- Amanda? - Yes, Chef?
Come over. Yeah, Whit, come over.
I'm not accepting that.
I mean, I've got rectangles, round.
Touch it. - Yes, Chef.
It's way overcooked. Come on.
- Yes, Chef. - Let's go.
Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.
I have different sizes, different shapes.
Hey, standards, right?
Yes, Chef.
We are halfway through "Hell's Kitchen,"
and my scallops are cut like skateboard ramps.
Like, what was happening, Brittany?
- Walking scallops. - Scallops, Chef.
Service, please.
Standards. Standards.
narrator: With Amanda's scallops
meeting Chef Ramsay's standards despite the delay--
Let's keep it up, you guys. We got it.
narrator: Diners are feeling very satisfied.
I love this. This is so good.
Lobster is amazing.
Mmm.
Very good.
Delicious.
narrator: And Chef Ramsay is ready to call out entrées
for the chef tables.
Right, Blue Team, chef table, VVIP, yes?
Yes, Chef.
On order, three covers, one halibut,
one Wellington, one New York strip, medium, please.
- Yes, Chef. - Yes, Chef.
All right.
Let's go, Blue Team.
The chef table always has to be perfect.
Last thing you want is a guest of honor
receiving subpar or mediocre service.
I need you to give me a time on the Wellington
and the halibut, OK?
So how long are we looking?
You know, tonight I'm on meat station.
And I haven't worked it in a very long time.
How long? VIP.
No answer.
When you guys disengage and there's no call back,
I'm getting nervous.
Pick up the slack!
- Yes, Chef. - Talk to each other!
- Yes, Chef! - Rhythm!
That ain't good.
But they got to hurry up with the food.
- Egypt. - Heard, Chef.
- Find our voice. - Yes, Chef.
- Come on, guys. - Yes, Chef.
So let's go!
Yes, Chef!
Let's go, Blue Team!
Step it up!
I got Wellington in the oven.
It's going to be about five to six minutes out.
- Heard five, six. - Five, six minutes out.
Going with the halibut. - Yes, sir.
That has a medium New York as well.
Yes, Chef.
I am the chef that Chef Ramsay is looking for.
You know, I'm a leader through and through.
I want my team to hear my voice.
I want Chef Ramsay to hear my voice.
Walking to the window of the pass,
one Wellington, one New York, one minute.
Thank you. Finally, Egypt.
I'm glad to have loud Egypt back in the kitchen.
Go ahead and walk hali.
Following right behind with New York strip.
Walking hali.
Walking behind.
That's beautiful.
John, chef table, please. Let's go.
This my New York steak?
Thank you.
narrator: With improved communication
and precise cooking lifting everyone's spirits
in the Blue kitchen--
Blue Team, the steak is amazing, Blue Team.
Thank you. - Yes, sir. Thank you.
narrator: The diners trying to make
Penn and Teller's show on time--
Let's hope we don't go with empty bellies tonight.
narrator: Are getting a bit anxious about their orders.
Two salmon, two chicken, two New York strip.
They're off to Penn and Teller's show.
Heard? together: Yes, Chef.
Good.
Ann Marie, you got one strip medium rare, one medium,
please, yes? - Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
This will be my third time on meat.
And last time I was on meat, I slayed it.
But you never know
what's going to happen in Hell's Kitchen.
Never, ever.
You think you do, and you're wrong.
- Ann Marie? - Yes, Chef?
Turn that pan down. Ann Marie, it's on fire, girl.
Touch more oil in there, cool the pan down.
Come on. Touch of oil in there.
Cool the pan down. There you go.
Ann Marie, it's on fire, right?
We've got to sauté the chicken, not burn it, yes?
Yes, Chef.
hell.
Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.
You know better, Ann Marie. You know better, Ann Marie.
Like, girl, come on.
I'm going to check your sear, OK, babe?
That's fine.
This one's much thinner than this one.
I know. That's the plan.
- So pull this one off. - No, don't.
Medium and mid-rare. Thank you, though.
- Go, go. You got it. - Thank you.
That was the plan. - Yes, Chef. Perfect.
Good to walk salmon?
- Walking salmon. - All right, going up.
Walking strip.
Oh, man.
Ann Marie? - Yes, Chef.
One medium, one mid-rare.
Now, that's undercooked. And that's not medium, yeah?
Come on. - Thank you, Chef.
Get them back in the pan.
This has been a super fun service so far.
Right, New York strip.
- All right, medium rare? - Medium rare's the thick boy.
- Medium rare, medium. - OK, got it, got it. I got it.
- Medium rare, medium, Chef. - Thank you.
Thank you, Chef.
Go.
narrator: With Ann Marie finally
getting her temperatures right, the Red Team
has successfully delivered entrées to Penn and Teller.
That looks fantastic.
narrator: And diners who will be attending their show--
It's really good.
narrator: While the Blue Team
hopes to keep their hot streak alive.
OK, Blue Team, on order and fire, please.
Two Welly, one chicken, one salmon.
together: Yes, Chef. - Two wellies in now.
- Yes, Chef. - Let's go!
Four minutes, two Wellington, one chicken.
Two Wellington, one chicken.
Three minutes to the window for garnish.
Heard.
We'll walk when Joe's fish comes out, yes?
Heard up in three.
I am running the garnish station solely by myself.
So if I [bleep] this up,
I [bleep] it up for the team, not just me.
Two minutes. We'll have garnish in one.
- Garnish in one, heard. - Garnish in one, please.
Garnish in one, heard right now.
Thank you.
Last night was a [bleep] show on my station.
I cannot let my team down again.
We need that garnish up ASAP. Stop moving it off the heat.
Leave it on the heat and bring that stock to it, yeah?
Yes, sir.
How long till I get garnish?
Right now, Chef.
Waiting on you, Kyle.
As soon as you're ready to go and hit that window,
we're going to go right behind you.
Garnish up? - Garnish, yes.
Salmon walking.
Salmon walking to the pass, heard.
Hot.
Two Wellington's in the pass.
Chef, on your left, salmon and welly garnish.
Come on, guys, the chicken!
Hot. Chicken in the pan.
Nicely cooked, the chicken.
- Heard, Chef. - Come on, Kyle.
Garnish, please.
Garnish in 45 seconds.
Kyle seems like he's starting to drown
a little bit on that station.
Now that it's, you know, down to the final four
on the Blue Team, there's nobody to jump in
and save you from a sinking ship.
You got to move fast and pull your weight.
Come on, Kyle!
The garnish is asleep.
I've still got three other entrées, FYI!
Yes, Chef.
Blue Team, come here, all of you.
Look where I am.
I've got three immaculately cooked proteins,
and we're missing a garnish. - Yes, Chef.
And when we engage with each other, we engage for a reason.
We pick up the slack. - Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
Come on, Blue Team! together: Yes, Chef.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Get that up. 30 seconds to the window.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Get it over the heat and cook it out.
Get some stock in there.
Bring it to a simmer really fast.
- Heard that. Yes, sir. - Just a little bit, a splash.
Heard that.
Kyle, stop [bleep] up and making simple mistakes.
You're a bad bitch.
You got this.
Come on, Kyle.
Behind, Chef.
Service, please. Go.
Blue Team nailed this Wellington.
It's amazing.
On order, four covers, table 24 and 5.
Entrée, two salmon, two Welly.
- Two salmon, two welly. - Let's go.
Yes, Chef.
My station isn't set up the way that I would set it up,
but I'm trying to bounce back.
This salmon's not scored!
, man?
We only--we scored only 10.
Yeah, I haven't gone through 10 salmons yet.
There's 10 scored in there. Yes, Chef.
Bro.
In the middle of the service is not the time
to pick apart everything.
There is only two that weren't scored, but they're done.
Listen, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
OK, I'm just letting you know.
Oh, my God.
God, why are these not cooking?
I'm ready to walk on the salmon.
How long on your two Wellies?
Wellingtons are still not done.
They need one more minute in the oven.
Oh, come on, Ann Marie.
Why is the oven door open like that?
You stand there, you can't do that.
Yes, Chef.
- You can't do that. - Yes, Chef.
You've got to close the oven door,
not stand there checking the temperature
with all the heat moving out. - Yes, Chef.
- That's basic stuff. - Yes, Chef.
How long now, please? Let's go!
Those [bleep] Wellies are taking [bleep] forever today.
How long on those Wellies, Ann Marie?
I'm going to check. One more minute.
We cranked the oven.
- One more minute till rest? - Yes.
So give me a total time, please.
Hopefully, seven. I have to check to make sure.
- Seven? - Seven?
I can do four after it comes out of the oven.
It's five all day?
Five all day, heard?
Amanda?
You can be as pissed off at me as you want.
But if I'm calling a time to you and you're ignoring me,
we're going to have a problem.
narrator: It's 45 minutes into dinner service,
and Amanda and Ann Marie are struggling
to coordinate their timings.
I can do four after it comes out of the oven.
Is five all day?
Five all day, heard?
Amanda?
Amanda shuts down, stops communicating,
and we don't know what's going on.
I need one more minute on that Welly, two salmon.
Can you hold it a little bit?
One minute to rest or one minute?
One more minute, three all day.
- Heard. - You need to communicate.
You need to have your team's back.
This is still a team game right now.
We're not in black jackets.
This is the Red Team, and you need to be a team player.
Yeah, you got to give all days, man.
I'm trying.
It's hard to add all this [bleep] together.
Yes, it is.
I'm not going to sit here
and do [bleep] math on you right now.
I need a total time, Ann Marie.
All right, about to walk Welly.
You good? - Walking salmon.
All right, going up.
Coming down, walking Wellies.
These are perfect.
narrator: With Ann Marie and Amanda now in sync--
Service, please.
narrator: Entrées are flying out of both kitchens--
Go.
Thank you.
Exquisite.
narrator: Leaving Chef Ramsay to call the--
Last table. Let's go.
Two strip, one welly, one chicken, yes?
- Yes, Chef. - Let's go, guys.
narrator: For both teams.
Last table.
Entrée, two strip, one chicken, one halibut.
together: Yes, Chef. - Let's go.
Two strip, one chicken, one hali to the window.
Five minutes. - Five minutes, heard.
- Garnish up to three. - Garnish in three.
Yes, sir. - Thank you.
It's a beautiful symphony of communication.
It's really starting to feel like a brigade now.
One hali, one chicken, two strip.
Let's cross the finish line, gentlemen.
Yes, sir. Let's finish strong.
Tail end. Keep it going.
Five out, one Welly, two strip, one chicken.
together: Five out. - Two strip.
Let's go, you guys. Finish strong.
Good job, guys. We'll finish strong.
Keep it up, gents. - Walking hali.
Following right behind.
- Good to walk? - Let's walk.
- All right, walking. - Walking, salmon.
Walking.
Nicely cooked, the chicken.
Table two, please, yes?
narrator: With both teams finishing strong--
- Thank you. - That looks lovely.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
How is it?
That's amazing.
narrator: Penn and Teller-- - Thank you all.
That was great.
narrator: And their fans will
make it to their show on time.
Oh, thanks so much, man.
Although we did complete service,
it was a little bumpier than necessary.
So I've got to pick a winning team.
The winning team tonight is...
The Blue Team.
Congratulations, well done.
Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
- Good job. - We had bumps,
but we're going to get over those bumps.
Well done.
Ladies, as a team, get back to the dorm
and think about everything that's happened
so far in Hell's Kitchen.
And come back to me with two nominees.
Get out of here. - Thank you, Chef.
Honestly, I'm kind of glad
that we did lose just to cut the fat.
Congratulations for making it this far.
But if you're not on the level that everybody else is on,
it's time to go home.
This is the [bleep] worst.
I hate this so much.
This decision's-- again, nothing personal.
We are at the final five Red.
Choice number one, Brittany.
You're talented, but organizational-wise,
could use a little improvement.
As far as organization and being scattered
and a little messy, you know, I've been getting better
every day, but that's still something
that I'm improving on, which I know definitely makes it
a little harder on the rest of the team sometimes.
There's a lot of hand holding.
Everybody on this team has had to save you
at some point in service.
I never asked for anyone to hold my [bleep] hand.
Ann Marie, also inconsistent, same thing.
Ann Marie, you're my second,
consistency with meats and things like that,
calling times, asking for help.
My vote is Amanda.
My frustration with you sometimes
is that I don't feel like you own up to mistakes as much.
I feel like you sometimes hide behind people.
I would like to see more leadership when you do mess up
and own up to those mistakes
because that is what a leader does.
My other vote is Brittany.
I do feel like I'm a stronger cook than you.
Ultimately, that's what it comes down to.
I try to communicate.
Any feedback I've gotten, I try to improve on.
Brittany, I agree with you.
Your growth has been amazing,
but simple things you struggle with.
This is the search for the next head chef
of Hell's Kitchen Foxwoods,
not the search for most improved.
We're down to five.
Overall, when you think about, like,
who is a leader and who's ready to go--
Who's a leader is not someone who shuts down,
Amanda, who doesn't communicate on times.
Amanda shuts down. Amanda doesn't communicate.
Amanda is the type of person that doesn't take
responsibility for-- for anything.
I don't think you're ready to lead a kitchen,
a brigade at Foxwoods, OK?
I don't think so.
That's just my [bleep] opinion, Brittany.
- Good. - And you can hate me for it.
- I don't hate you. - You can--
- I don't hate you. - You can tell me that
I'm full of [bleep]. - Can she finish talking?
I know. I can't get a [bleep] word in.
I was just trying to say I don't hate you.
You tell me that I don't communicate,
but I can't get a word in.
- Go ahead. - I'm trying to communicate.
And this way is not very conducive for me.
- Cool. - This is my personal style.
- Excellent. - I'm being very calm.
- I hear you. - OK.
But you're speaking over me, so it's making me not calm.
You understand that, correct? - Yes.
I started off incredibly calm, actually.
- Sure. - Cool.
These eliminations are difficult,
but there's a battle for this life-changing opportunity,
and it must continue.
Amanda, Red Team's first nominee and why.
Our first nominee, Chef...
Brittany.
Brittany's shown a lot of improvement.
But we still feel like she's a little disorganized.
And as a team, we have to hold her hand a lot.
Red Team's second nominee and why.
Ann Marie.
Lack of consistency across services.
And we also feel like she's one of
the weaker members of our team, Chef.
Brittany, Ann Marie, step forward, please.
Brittany, you blow hot and cold.
When you're on it, you are really on it.
When you're not on it, it's really obvious.
Why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?
I should stay in Hell's Kitchen
because I'm not the weakest chef here.
Every day that I'm in the kitchen,
I feel like I'm cooking for my life.
I never settle. I have the tenacity.
And I would love the [bleep] chance
to prove that I don't need anyone to hold my hand,
that I can cook and lead a team better than anyone here, Chef.
Ann Marie, tough one tonight.
And I know you can cook.
But in terms of the communication,
man, you give very little away.
Tell me why you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
I have shown you that I can cook.
I have taken your feedback. And I have grown.
And I believe that I have the strength to continue on.
And I'd like the opportunity to continue
to show you that, Chef.
Tough one, this one. Very tough.
Hannah? - Yes, Chef?
Who will your team be better off without,
Brittany or Ann Marie?
Brittany, Chef.
Whit, same question.
Brittany, Chef.
- Amanda? - Brittany, Chef.
My decision is...
Ann Marie.
Get back in line.
Your team have not given up on you.
Brittany, you give 100%.
And you give it with your heart.
That's obvious.
I want you to take this experience and grow.
- Yes, Chef. - Promise me?
- Yes, Chef, of course. - Please hand me your jacket.
It's been a real honor.
- Good luck. - Thank you so much.
Bye, guys.
I feel proud of myself for making it this far.
I've been the outcast most of my life.
Fighting all the way here to the top nine
validated that who I am has gotten me very far in life.
I'm going to keep improving.
And this isn't the last you'll see of me.
Now, all of you,
this is where the competition gets really interesting.
With fewer people in both kitchens,
there is no place to hide.
Who is going to emerge as a leader?
It's time to step up.
Understood? together: Yes, Chef.
Get out of here.
Top eight, baby. Here we are.
Every single person here deserves to be here.
And we're going to be fighting for it.
I've come a long way. I've learned a lot.
100%, I am going to be Chef Ramsay's
next head chef at Foxwoods.
Zero doubt in my mind. I got this.
Brittany was the biggest Red Team cheerleader.
But at this point in the competition,
we don't need cheerleaders.
We need leader leaders.
Sorry, Brit.
Brittany's team felt they needed to hold her hand,
so it was time for me to lead her out the door.
narrator: Next time on
"Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only"...
So we don't do competitive eating, just--
Wow.
narrator: The queen of daytime drama
is ready for a night out.
- Tickets, let's go. - OK.
narrator: But will the presence of an icon--
Come on now.
Egypt's really, really excited.
narrator: Turn Hell's Kitchen into a soap opera?
Time to shine!
narrator: From epic rivalries--
I can't believe he felt that she was the strongest tonight.
Someone's being a raging bitch to me.
It's because you're threatened by me.
I'm really fed up with that.
narrator: Long-lost twins--
My name is Joey Lockes, and I like meatballs.
narrator: And one incredible plot twist.
Unfortunately, I'm not done yet.
narrator: Tune in next time--
- They're burning them. - How is that burnt, Chef?
You should never talk back to Chef Ramsay.
Come here, smart arse.
He can yell at me a little bit. That's for sure.
Look at me. Look at me. narrator: On "Hell's Kitchen."
