1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:03,066
[Jonathan] This season on
Halloween Wars,
2
00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:06,066
-we take scary
to a whole other level...
-[crow cawing]
3
00:00:06,066 --> 00:00:08,300
...as we celebrate
the beasts,
4
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,066
the baddies,
5
00:00:10,066 --> 00:00:12,200
the monsters.
6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,200
And for the first time ever,
each team will be captained
7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,400
by one of our
very own all-stars,
8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,800
eight former champions
looking to stake their claim
9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,367
in the Halloween Wars
hall of fame.
10
00:00:24,367 --> 00:00:25,333
[Shellane]
I'm an all-star, you know?
11
00:00:25,333 --> 00:00:28,200
You have to bring it
every single challenge.
12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,000
[Jonathan] The displays
get bigger.
13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
[man] No, no, no.
14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,867
[Jonathan] And
the monsters become
even more terrifying.
15
00:00:35,867 --> 00:00:38,900
-She's creepy AF.
-[laughter]
16
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:42,066
[Jonathan] Brace yourselves
for a monstrously good time.
17
00:00:42,066 --> 00:00:43,700
Why?
18
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:48,000
The most heart-pounding season
of Halloween Wars All-Stars
starts right now.
19
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:53,867
Bone Battalion,
Two Ghouls and a Butcher,
20
00:00:53,867 --> 00:00:56,867
Delectable Demons,
and Scream of the Crop.
21
00:00:56,867 --> 00:01:00,867
To survive today's battle,
you must impress our judges,
22
00:01:00,867 --> 00:01:06,300
award-winning cake artist,
design and decor guru,
Shinmin Li,
23
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:10,166
and master
culinary storyteller,
chef and author,
24
00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:11,266
Aarti Sequeira.
25
00:01:11,266 --> 00:01:13,500
-Hi, everybody.
-[cheering, applause]
26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,900
Some beasts are
just born that way.
27
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:22,567
But some are just
regular people that
become tortured souls.
28
00:01:22,567 --> 00:01:26,767
In your first challenge,
we want you to capture
the moment of mayhem
29
00:01:26,767 --> 00:01:30,867
where a mild-mannered mortal
turns into the wildest,
30
00:01:30,867 --> 00:01:34,166
most unique monster
you can imagine
31
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:37,367
at the absolute
worst possible time.
32
00:01:37,367 --> 00:01:39,700
-[laughter]
-[chuckles] Oh, great.
33
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,900
Each display must have
at least two distinct,
fully realized characters.
34
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,967
And to represent
that devious duality
in a tasting element,
35
00:01:48,967 --> 00:01:52,467
you've been randomly assigned
two opposing flavors
36
00:01:52,467 --> 00:01:57,900
you must successfully combine
into a singular sweet treat.
37
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:02,233
Scream of the Crop,
you get miso and maple.
38
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,166
Bone Battalion,
cheese and honey.
39
00:02:07,166 --> 00:02:08,767
Oh.
40
00:02:08,767 --> 00:02:13,000
Two Ghouls and a Butcher,
chocolate and onion.
41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,600
-What?
-[laughter, scoffing]
42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,967
-That's mean, Jonathan.
-That's very mean.
43
00:02:16,967 --> 00:02:20,066
-[laughter]
-Oh, my gosh.
44
00:02:20,066 --> 00:02:24,533
[Jonathan] And
Delectable Demons,
peaches and sage.
45
00:02:25,266 --> 00:02:27,500
That is a lot to handle.
46
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:28,433
But don't panic.
47
00:02:28,433 --> 00:02:31,000
Each team will be given
one baking assistant
48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
to help you keep your heads.
49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,667
-Yes.
-Oh, good.
50
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:37,600
You've got
seven hours. Go.
51
00:02:39,266 --> 00:02:41,066
-All right.
Let's do this, guys.
-All right, guys.
52
00:02:41,066 --> 00:02:43,800
-What if we went with a baby?
-What?
53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,166
What if, like,
the most opportune
moment would be
54
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:49,367
-something, like,
in the bathroom?
-[Lincoln] On the toilet?
55
00:02:49,367 --> 00:02:52,100
[Reva] Our team's
the Bone Battalion.
56
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,066
So, maybe they
could be in a bathtub.
57
00:02:54,066 --> 00:02:56,000
[Lincoln] I like the idea
in the bathtub.
58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,867
My name is Reva.
I'm here to do
some sugar work.
59
00:02:58,867 --> 00:03:01,066
I won on Season 9.
60
00:03:01,066 --> 00:03:03,767
There's got to be
another element because
it needs to be a surprise.
61
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:05,600
So, what would be
in her bathroom with her.
62
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,567
When I'm in a bathtub,
in the shower.
63
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:09,600
uh, my pet
always accompany me.
64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,367
[Reva] So, we decide on
a bewitched bathtub
65
00:03:12,367 --> 00:03:15,600
with a lady transforming
into a sea creature.
66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,700
This happens because
she had a mysterious
bottle of bubble bath
67
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,300
that she decided to use
on Halloween night.
68
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,500
What do you think of
a vampire? Like, someone
getting bit by a vampire.
69
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:27,867
This is bigger. We gotta
do something different.
70
00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:29,100
Something that's
never been done.
71
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,767
[Briea] Our team
is Delectable Demons.
72
00:03:31,767 --> 00:03:32,900
My name is Briea Lowe.
73
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,000
I'm doing your sugar.
I won Season 4.
74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,667
Maybe somebody turns into
something like a scientist
or something, like...
75
00:03:38,667 --> 00:03:40,266
[gasps] I love science.
76
00:03:40,266 --> 00:03:44,200
So, our story is,
a mad scientist lab is
77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,100
infested with
a bunch of beetles.
78
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,867
He would love to make
a chemical that would
take care of his problem,
79
00:03:50,867 --> 00:03:55,066
but instead, it explodes,
and turns his assistant
80
00:03:55,066 --> 00:03:57,867
into one of the infestations.
81
00:03:57,867 --> 00:04:01,266
Okay. So, there's
an Irish monster
called the nuckelavee.
82
00:04:01,266 --> 00:04:04,000
-What's that?
-[Kyle] It's a centaur
where the rider
83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800
is coming out of the center
of the spine of the horse...
84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,400
-[Sarah] Oh, that's cool.
-...and it's skinless.
85
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,767
[Kyle] The name of our team
is Scream of the Crop.
86
00:04:10,767 --> 00:04:13,567
My name is Kyle Miller.
I'm a cake artist.
87
00:04:13,567 --> 00:04:16,166
I won Season 4 with Briea.
88
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:19,100
Our display is a clown
that didn't like his life.
89
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:23,100
So, he opened a Necronomicon,
summoned a portal
that transformed
90
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:27,834
his best friend, a cowboy,
into a nuckelavee
while he's at the rodeo.
91
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,600
Werewolf. That's classy.
92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,500
-Werewolf, that is
the beast transforming.
-You can never go wrong...
93
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:32,433
Let's do a werewolf.
94
00:04:32,433 --> 00:04:34,266
[Emerlie] He has to be
mid-transformation.
95
00:04:34,266 --> 00:04:36,967
-So, that's something...
-Oh, mid. So, it has
to be half-human. Okay.
96
00:04:36,967 --> 00:04:39,467
[Shellane] Our team's name
is Two Ghouls and a Butcher.
97
00:04:39,467 --> 00:04:41,500
My name is Shellane.
I'm the cake artist.
98
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,900
I won Season 11.
99
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:48,166
Our piece is a teen werewolf
who goes out with his friends
100
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:49,533
to record some content.
101
00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:53,100
The moon comes up.
He starts contorting.
His bones are breaking.
102
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,567
His friend is like,
"I'm not sure
what's happening,
103
00:04:55,567 --> 00:04:57,100
but I feel like
I need to run away."
104
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,667
-All right. Let's go.
-Let's do this, guys. Come on.
105
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:00,367
-High-five.
-We got this guys. Cool.
106
00:05:00,367 --> 00:05:02,467
I really hope this
is gonna go well,
but I'm gonna bring it.
107
00:05:02,467 --> 00:05:03,900
[Alan] Are you the one?
108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,266
I like this one. This is it.
This one speaks to me.
109
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:09,900
[Reva] Lincoln is
our pumpkin artist.
110
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:14,100
He's known
for doing faces and
a lot of elaborate designs.
111
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,467
Lincoln is starting out
with his tentacles for
our monster in the tub.
112
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:19,400
He's got to get
at least eight of them done.
113
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,567
[Lincoln] So, I cut out
those tentacles, but I
need to get them smooth.
114
00:05:23,567 --> 00:05:27,300
And this pad,
it acts like sandpaper.
115
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,000
[Reva] I'm making a slurry.
116
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,567
We're gonna make
a nice little paste.
117
00:05:30,567 --> 00:05:33,600
I'm gonna go ahead
and get the vinyl
shower curtains started,
118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,667
because that needs
a lot of time to dry.
119
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:39,400
It has water, cornstarch,
gelatin, and sugar.
120
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,367
Fingers crossed
it works out.
121
00:05:41,367 --> 00:05:44,600
It normally takes
about 12 hours to dry.
122
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,300
So, I'm gonna push it,
and we're gonna get it
done in the seven hours.
123
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,867
It's an honor
to be invited back
for the All-Star season
124
00:05:50,867 --> 00:05:54,100
because Halloween Wars
is the pinnacle
in the sugar world.
125
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,367
You want to be
on Halloween Wars,
and you want to win.
126
00:05:56,367 --> 00:05:58,667
I'm gonna go
to the dehydrator,
get this in.
127
00:05:58,667 --> 00:05:59,867
-So, hopefully...
Fingers crossed.
-Go, Reva.
128
00:05:59,867 --> 00:06:03,367
Okay, now I'm starting
with the cake part
of the element,
129
00:06:03,367 --> 00:06:05,266
which is milk cheesecake.
130
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:06,867
Daphne is our cake artist.
131
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:11,367
She is a home baker,
and she really specializes
in cakes with special effects.
132
00:06:11,367 --> 00:06:14,567
So, for our tasting element,
we're going to be doing
133
00:06:14,567 --> 00:06:19,266
a milk cheesecake
with apricot puree,
134
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:20,600
and a honey mousse.
135
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,567
My egg white is going
to my cheesy batter
136
00:06:24,567 --> 00:06:28,467
to make a light-as-cloud
cheesecake.
137
00:06:28,467 --> 00:06:31,200
Cake God,
give me power.
138
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:32,967
Well, right now,
I've got to get
139
00:06:32,967 --> 00:06:35,600
the pumpkin
glued to this board
so it looks like stone.
140
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,467
And then, I got to paint it
to look like stone.
141
00:06:37,467 --> 00:06:40,367
[Briea] Our
pumpkin artist, Eric,
is in charge of the backdrop.
142
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:42,100
He's making
all the stone out of pumpkin.
143
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:45,467
Eric is extremely fast
at carving pumpkin.
144
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:48,467
He is the ultimate
pumpkin carver.
145
00:06:48,467 --> 00:06:53,300
And our cake artist,
Shannon, is in charge
of both characters.
146
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,767
Shannon, she can
sculpt realism.
147
00:06:55,767 --> 00:06:59,266
I don't have that ability.
So, she complements
my weak points.
148
00:06:59,266 --> 00:07:01,867
It makes me feel
so secure as a teammate,
149
00:07:01,867 --> 00:07:03,800
but it makes me
a little nervous.
150
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,166
But she says she can
complete all of the bug body
151
00:07:07,166 --> 00:07:10,300
made out of rice cereal treat
and modeling chocolate.
152
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,600
And she's gonna
make the scientist
out of the same thing.
153
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,567
So, I'm now sculpting
the torso of the scientist.
154
00:07:16,567 --> 00:07:19,500
So, Eric, how
do you feel about me
leaving it super rough?
155
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,200
If I can come back
to it, I will. But I'm
gonna leave it here for now.
156
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,200
[Eric] Okay.
157
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,867
It's almost there, guys.
Pastry cream has awoken.
158
00:07:26,867 --> 00:07:28,867
My focus is
the tasting element.
159
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:30,767
Oh, man,
I got peaches and sage.
160
00:07:30,767 --> 00:07:34,000
The only thing I can think
to make sage really shine
161
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800
is something buttery
and creamy.
162
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,567
So, my tasting element
is gonna be a play on
baklava and fruit tart
163
00:07:40,567 --> 00:07:42,500
made out of layers
of phyllo dough
164
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,266
and sage sugar in between,
165
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:49,667
and a beautiful,
velvety vanilla pastry cream
with roasted peaches.
166
00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:51,600
This is ready.
167
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,000
I'm gonna get my peaches
in the oven to roast,
to deepen the flavor.
168
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,567
And I fry the sage leaves
in the canola oil.
169
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:00,467
And then, you sugar it.
170
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:02,000
Sage is very aromatic,
171
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,066
meaning that,
when you fry it in oil,
172
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:07,266
it's actually gonna
release its essential oils.
173
00:08:07,266 --> 00:08:12,467
So, when you put it in
the sugar, you have that aroma
left in that infused sugar.
174
00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:14,567
-Oh, my gosh.
-Do you like it?
175
00:08:14,567 --> 00:08:15,834
This is so good.
176
00:08:17,367 --> 00:08:19,567
[Kyle] I'm working on
one of the hind legs
177
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:22,367
for the nuckelavee
on the horse side.
178
00:08:22,367 --> 00:08:27,700
I'm gonna cover it with
a mixture of gum paste
and modeling chocolate.
179
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:28,867
I'm back here competing
180
00:08:28,867 --> 00:08:31,367
because I want
to show everyone
that I've still got it.
181
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:34,266
Everything that I do,
with my hands,
with my mind,
182
00:08:34,266 --> 00:08:36,000
everything that I see,
it's all art.
183
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,367
I'm gonna show everyone
that I'm one to be feared.
184
00:08:38,367 --> 00:08:41,867
So, I start with
the legs first on the horse.
185
00:08:41,867 --> 00:08:43,900
So, then, all our
pumpkin carver has to do
186
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,600
is fit the pieces on,
and then tap them in.
187
00:08:47,266 --> 00:08:48,700
How're you doing,
Blood Stain?
188
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,567
[laughing] I call
this technique
189
00:08:50,567 --> 00:08:52,767
-"I need more arms."
-[Kyle laughs]
190
00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:55,600
[Kyle] Sarah Blostein,
who we actually call
"Blood Stain,"
191
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,800
is the pumpkin carver.
192
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,967
Blood Stain has to cut out
individual pieces of pumpkin,
193
00:08:59,967 --> 00:09:04,100
and then smash the pumpkin
onto the dowels to hold
the melon into place.
194
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:08,066
I'm putting it on in pieces
because, uh...
195
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:09,667
since we have
smaller pumpkins,
196
00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:13,200
we can't really make
the whole thing
out of one piece.
197
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,467
I'm making
the spell book right now.
198
00:09:14,467 --> 00:09:17,400
[Kyle] Our sugar artist,
Sarah, is working
on our isomalt.
199
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,266
[Sarah] I'm doing it
in a frame, so that way,
it'll be flat.
200
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:23,900
[Kyle] Sarah Arnold is very,
very clean with her art.
201
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:28,667
Everything is beautiful.
It's all symmetrical.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
202
00:09:28,667 --> 00:09:31,400
I got the little wafer paper.
There we go.
203
00:09:32,667 --> 00:09:34,400
What part are you
working on first, Alan?
204
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,567
I'm working on
the werewolf's face.
205
00:09:36,567 --> 00:09:38,800
Our pumpkin carver
is Alan Silva.
206
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,266
He's making
an entire werewolf.
207
00:09:41,266 --> 00:09:43,367
Alan is serious
about his sculpting.
208
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:46,600
He has his
custom drills and tools
209
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,567
that he used
just for his sculpting.
210
00:09:48,567 --> 00:09:51,867
[Alan] Now that I'm done
using the power tools
to cut through the pumpkin,
211
00:09:51,867 --> 00:09:53,867
I am using
this fruit carving knife.
212
00:09:53,867 --> 00:09:55,667
It's a Kiwi knife.
It's very sharp.
213
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:57,467
[Shellane] Mmm. So, that's
how you get your details?
214
00:09:57,467 --> 00:09:59,166
[Alan] That's how
I get the details.
215
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:01,600
Now, look at this.
It just got a nose job.
216
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,100
-Hey...
-[Shellane] Oh, snap.
217
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:04,667
-Alan, that's so good.
-[Alan] You like it?
218
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:05,533
-[Shellane] It's perfect.
-Thank you.
219
00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:06,767
[Emerlie] This is
for the ring light.
220
00:10:06,767 --> 00:10:09,467
[Shellane]
Emerlie starts working
on sugar work.
221
00:10:09,467 --> 00:10:12,667
I poured some isomalt down.
I'm going to cover it
in plastic wrap.
222
00:10:12,667 --> 00:10:16,467
And then, I'm going to put
a cookie cutter over this
223
00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:19,967
and another cookie cutter
because I want this
cool, beveled shape.
224
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:21,900
[Shellane] I'm so excited
to have her on our team.
225
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:26,100
Emily is very well known
for her hyper-realistic
edible props.
226
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,100
She can literally
make anything out of food,
227
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:31,266
and make you think twice
if it's sugar or not.
228
00:10:31,266 --> 00:10:34,900
She does isomalt
and includes
actual lights in it.
229
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,300
I'm astounded by her work.
230
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:38,500
[Emerlie] Okay, okay.
231
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,800
[Shellane]
I take some rice cereal
and start sculpting
232
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,166
our dancing friend
character's head.
233
00:10:44,166 --> 00:10:46,467
I'm covering my RCT
234
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:49,700
in some skin tone
modeling chocolate.
235
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,500
I start with just blocking out
the major features
of the face,
236
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:57,000
and then, going back
in and fine-tune
mouths and nostrils.
237
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,400
It means a lot to me
to be back here.
238
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,066
It's just like
coming home again
and going up against people
239
00:11:03,066 --> 00:11:07,567
who know what it's like
to compete in this atmosphere
and know how hard it is.
240
00:11:07,567 --> 00:11:09,100
I'm ready to go at it.
241
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,500
Hurry up.
Come together.
242
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,000
Teams, you have
six hours left.
243
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,567
-Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God.
-Six hours.
244
00:11:15,567 --> 00:11:17,600
Oh, boy.
Already an hour.
245
00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:24,000
[Jonathan] So, this week,
it's all about the monsters,
246
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,300
-and as
the monsters transform.
-[both] Yeah.
247
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:27,900
So, what are you
excited to see?
248
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:30,367
[Shinmin] We want to see
a transformation in action,
all right?
249
00:11:30,367 --> 00:11:33,000
We want to see something
that looks innocent
and normal,
250
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,600
but changing,
turning into a monster.
251
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,200
[Aarti] You had
asked them to create
two distinct characters.
252
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,667
So, that's also difficult,
who is the supporting actor
in this scene.
253
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:48,000
We are stacking
our cake for the scared,
frightened teenager
254
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,166
who's witnessing her friend
turned into a werewolf.
255
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:52,300
Her torso is entirely cake.
256
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,900
I layered the cake
with some chocolate ganache.
257
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:58,266
After that, I want
our character to have
258
00:11:58,266 --> 00:12:00,066
pretty fashionable clothes.
259
00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:01,667
We've got Two Ghouls
and a Butcher.
260
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:03,700
And I love Shellane
who is back
261
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,567
-as their returning all-star.
-[Shinmin] Yes.
262
00:12:05,567 --> 00:12:08,166
Yeah, I think the reason
why Shellane was always
263
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:10,667
the secret weapon
in her previous team
264
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:12,667
-is because she's so quiet.
-Yeah.
265
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:17,100
[Shinmin] But she is one
of the best sculptors
I've seen in a long time.
266
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,500
And one of the reasons
I think that her creations
are always so great
267
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,100
is because
they're pretty realistic.
268
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,867
-She knows anatomy
down to the nerve ending.
-[Shinmin] Yes.
269
00:12:25,867 --> 00:12:30,667
I probably shouldn't
go for realism
on a time competition.
270
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:34,200
There's just so many details
like this. It honestly
could take a week
271
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,100
to get down
exactly how I would want it.
272
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:37,567
Like, am I insane?
273
00:12:37,567 --> 00:12:40,867
You're insane for coming back.
I can't believe you want
to do this again.
274
00:12:40,867 --> 00:12:42,800
I guess I like
to torture myself.
275
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,967
[Reva] I'm frantically rushing
to create chocolate shells
276
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:49,367
for Daphne's tasting element.
277
00:12:49,367 --> 00:12:53,200
She's thinking she wants
the tasting element to look
like bubbles.
278
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,266
[Daphne] Since Reva has
the chocolate ball ready,
279
00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:58,000
I'll start working
on the honey mousse.
280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,867
[Reva] The honey mousse
will then go
281
00:12:59,867 --> 00:13:03,767
into the chocolate spheres,
along with apricot puree.
282
00:13:03,767 --> 00:13:06,100
We still have to wait
until the cheesecake is done
283
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,400
before we can
finish off her recipe.
284
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,567
[Daphne] Okay. Got it.
285
00:13:11,567 --> 00:13:17,100
I am beginning to sculpt
the monster bug lady's body
out of rice cereal treat.
286
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:22,467
[Shinmin] It looks like
there's a bug that's coming
out over this wall of pumpkin.
287
00:13:22,467 --> 00:13:27,467
And it's a large character,
and it looks
super structurally sound.
288
00:13:27,467 --> 00:13:29,700
[Shannon] So, I still gotta
finish refining the body.
289
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:32,266
I have to sculpt in
some details.
290
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:34,166
I have to make
some wing shells.
291
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:36,400
And then, the wings come out
from underneath those.
292
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,000
And then, I got to sculpt
the whole torso and the head.
293
00:13:40,166 --> 00:13:41,900
[Eric] Okay, I'm gonna
start the face.
294
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,266
Right now, I'm making
a mad scientist.
295
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:47,867
Scared look,
kind of like an Einstein look.
We're kind of going with that.
296
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:49,767
[Briea] Eric, literally,
can carve anything.
297
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:52,066
Realistic, cartoon,
it doesn't matter.
298
00:13:52,066 --> 00:13:57,266
He owns his own business,
doing caricatures for locals
and famous people.
299
00:13:57,266 --> 00:14:00,500
And he also carves
snow and sand
on top of pumpkins.
300
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,266
How talented
can someone possibly be?
301
00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:06,266
[Eric] I'm gonna
have to sit down
and paint this guy's face.
302
00:14:06,266 --> 00:14:09,567
I take food coloring
and I take
confectionary sugar,
303
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:12,200
and I add that in
with some edible gels.
304
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,867
The viscosity is a lot more
than what you typically have
305
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:17,266
from a regular
food color gel.
306
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:19,767
So, it's thicker.
It sticks really well
to pumpkin.
307
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:22,200
All right. So, I'm working
on our tasting element.
308
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,000
So, I'm just gonna
start my caramel
for the miso-pear compote.
309
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,767
So, we actually
get miso and maple.
[groans in disgust]
310
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:33,100
Good thing is that Sarah
is actually excited
to get miso.
311
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,266
So, Sarah is going
to make a miso-pear compote
312
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:37,900
with a maple mousse,
313
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:40,600
and a miso-walnut crunch
to look like rocks.
314
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,667
I want to chop
these really fine
so that I can roll out a layer
315
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:47,500
and it won't be too, too thick
and hard to bite through.
316
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:51,900
[Kyle] Sarah gets her walnuts.
She smashes them all down
with her miso crunch.
317
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,166
And then, she
cuts them all out
into little round circles.
318
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:58,767
And then, she does
her coating on the inside
with the maple mousse.
319
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:00,700
[Sarah] Compote is going in.
320
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,266
And then, I get
my crunchy crunch.
321
00:15:03,266 --> 00:15:05,767
Okay, guys,
tasting element is done.
322
00:15:05,767 --> 00:15:07,800
It's gonna go
into the freezer
323
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,367
-for a long, long time.
-Awesome.
324
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,266
Only five hours to go.
325
00:15:11,266 --> 00:15:12,500
Five hours.
326
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:15,066
-[Emerlie] Ooh.
-Yeah?
327
00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:17,200
-Yes.
-Oh, I love that. Yeah.
328
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,467
[Alan] Werewolf feet
coming right up.
329
00:15:19,467 --> 00:15:22,166
[Shellane] Alan is still
working on his werewolf,
330
00:15:22,166 --> 00:15:25,567
and it's just taking him
a lot longer than what
he anticipated.
331
00:15:25,567 --> 00:15:27,100
Alan, how're you
doing over there?
332
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,900
Hey. Um, I think
I'm gonna need some help.
333
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,000
-[Shellane] Okay.
-I don't think I have
enough time to carve a body.
334
00:15:36,867 --> 00:15:38,967
I don't think
I have enough time
to carve a body.
335
00:15:38,967 --> 00:15:41,967
[Shellane] Alan says,
"Shellane, I need your help.
336
00:15:41,967 --> 00:15:43,967
I need you
to do these back legs."
337
00:15:43,967 --> 00:15:46,867
I stop what I'm doing
because my teammate needs me.
338
00:15:46,867 --> 00:15:49,000
I get some modeling chocolate
and some fondant,
339
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,100
[laughs] and I just
start mashing it
onto this werewolf.
340
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,300
Alan didn't think he was gonna
finish his werewolf,
341
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:57,266
but he caught that
pretty early on.
342
00:15:57,266 --> 00:15:59,567
He asked for help.
He got it from Shellane.
343
00:15:59,567 --> 00:16:01,367
[Aarti] And I also
kind of have to give it
to Shellane,
344
00:16:01,367 --> 00:16:03,967
-like she set that...
-Vibe. The kids say,
"the vibe."
345
00:16:03,967 --> 00:16:06,000
-Yeah, she set
a vibe in her team.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
346
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,967
"We're all here
to pitch in together."
347
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,667
Thank you
so much, Shellane.
348
00:16:09,667 --> 00:16:10,767
[Shellane] No problem.
349
00:16:10,767 --> 00:16:12,967
-Teamwork makes
the dream work.
-That looks amazing.
350
00:16:12,967 --> 00:16:14,500
[Shellane] We're a team.
351
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,066
[Kyle] I'm gonna
start on the clown.
352
00:16:17,066 --> 00:16:18,367
And what I'm doing right now
is making sure
353
00:16:18,367 --> 00:16:21,767
that I put on a form
that will not fall.
354
00:16:21,767 --> 00:16:25,100
I start making the rodeo clown
out of rice cereal treats,
355
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:26,767
modeling chocolate, fondant.
356
00:16:26,767 --> 00:16:28,600
The way I sculpt
into the clown is,
357
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,166
I add on little pieces
at a time,
358
00:16:31,166 --> 00:16:33,500
and then, I have
to blend them in seamlessly
359
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,467
so they don't look like they
were puzzle-pieced together.
360
00:16:36,467 --> 00:16:39,567
I'm using gel
because this is actually
a modeling chocolate,
361
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:42,867
and airbrush colors
will not stick on it at all.
362
00:16:42,867 --> 00:16:45,400
Let's go over to
Scream of the Crop
with Kyle.
363
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,800
[Shinmin] What I really like
about Kyle is, he knows how
to handle really big pieces.
364
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,700
My problem with Kyle,
sometimes, he tends
to focus on one character,
365
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:57,000
and then, he leaves
very little time for
the second character.
366
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,467
Today, we're
starting off the bat
with two characters.
367
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:00,600
-It's a lot.
-Yeah, that's really--
368
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,667
Yeah, both have
to be amazing.
369
00:17:01,667 --> 00:17:04,800
Well, did you know that,
since you've seen him last,
370
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,467
he is now
a medaled jujitsu fighter.
371
00:17:08,467 --> 00:17:09,667
-What?
-Yeah.
372
00:17:09,667 --> 00:17:12,500
So, I think that
that sort of discipline
373
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:14,367
-and that competitive edge...
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
374
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,100
-...will really
come into play here.
-[Shinmin grunts]
375
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:18,133
Also, I am
not messing with him.
376
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:21,300
Don't worry.
I've got you.
377
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:22,300
Got him, man.
378
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,867
-I feel so safe.
-Kyle, uh-uh.
379
00:17:24,867 --> 00:17:26,867
Not these judges.
380
00:17:26,867 --> 00:17:28,367
[Blood Stain]
Kyle, the clown.
381
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:29,867
[Kyle] Oh, yeah.
382
00:17:29,867 --> 00:17:32,166
-Well, I need you to go
actually look at his face.
-[Blood Stain] Oh, my God.
383
00:17:32,166 --> 00:17:33,967
Teams, we've got four hours.
384
00:17:33,967 --> 00:17:35,867
Four hours until we're done.
385
00:17:35,867 --> 00:17:38,100
It's so smooth and white.
386
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:39,767
-[Lincoln] Oh,
that is beautiful.
-Yeah.
387
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:43,467
Daphne, it's really
to the point where
those should be done.
388
00:17:43,467 --> 00:17:46,166
-I mean, are you almost there?
-Yes, I'm working on it.
389
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:49,500
[Reva] Daphne decided
on a very intricate
tasting element.
390
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:52,667
[Daphne] I'm finishing
the final element, which
is the cloud cheesecake,
391
00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:55,900
and you can tell
how soft it is. So,
I have to be extra careful.
392
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:57,767
And now, I'm gonna
put it on top
393
00:17:57,767 --> 00:17:59,800
of the apricot jelly
and honey mousse,
394
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,700
and then, I'll cover it
with chocolate.
395
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,367
Tasting element done.
396
00:18:03,367 --> 00:18:05,967
The tasty element is done!
397
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:07,367
[both whoop]
398
00:18:07,367 --> 00:18:10,066
Now, you can
work on your bust.
399
00:18:10,066 --> 00:18:13,467
-Are you done with
the carving of the tentacles?
-[Lincoln] No.
400
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:17,700
[Reva] So, the tentacles
are taking a little bit more
work than we had anticipated.
401
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:18,900
There's a lot of gluing.
402
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,567
There's a lot of cutting out
of little individual pieces
403
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,767
to add on
to the larger piece.
404
00:18:23,767 --> 00:18:26,367
You better be making
some big tentacles, though.
405
00:18:26,367 --> 00:18:28,567
Because there's
gonna be a big tub.
406
00:18:28,567 --> 00:18:32,066
So, we're just getting the tub
covered in the fondant
right now.
407
00:18:32,066 --> 00:18:33,200
[Jonathan] Over on
Bone Battalion,
408
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,967
we have our
returning champion, Reva.
409
00:18:35,967 --> 00:18:39,667
One of her challenges
is to actually make
her creations
410
00:18:39,667 --> 00:18:42,767
scary enough to be spooky
on Halloween Wars.
411
00:18:42,767 --> 00:18:44,033
Right. And that was
actually something
412
00:18:44,033 --> 00:18:47,467
-I think has haunted
her since her win...
-[Shinmin] Mmm-hmm.
413
00:18:47,467 --> 00:18:51,266
...that people have said
that her creations were
not spooky enough.
414
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:54,100
[Briea] Shannon, I'm starting
to make the phyllo cups.
415
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,867
I'm still working
on the tasting element.
416
00:18:56,867 --> 00:18:58,367
I've already finished
the pastry cream.
417
00:18:58,367 --> 00:19:02,300
I've already finished
the fried sage sugar leaves
and the sage sugar.
418
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,100
I'm starting
to layer phyllo dough
to look like petri dishes.
419
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,467
You go ahead and layer it
with melted butter
420
00:19:08,467 --> 00:19:11,000
and, of course,
the infused sage sugar.
421
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,300
And you just do
melted butter, sage sugar,
melted butter, sage sugar,
422
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,467
all between these layers
of phyllo dough.
423
00:19:15,467 --> 00:19:18,767
Briea is using, I think,
one of the most
complicated ingredients,
424
00:19:18,767 --> 00:19:19,967
which is phyllo dough.
425
00:19:19,967 --> 00:19:23,567
I just wonder if that's going
to translate to petri dish.
426
00:19:23,567 --> 00:19:26,000
-I know.
-Because, when you look
at the petri dish,
427
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,100
they're very clean,
sterile, flat,
428
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:32,767
and phyllo dough bakes up
to look like ripple-y layers.
429
00:19:32,767 --> 00:19:36,867
So, I don't know
if the actual pastry
is the right choice.
430
00:19:36,867 --> 00:19:38,967
[Briea] All right, guys,
I'm gonna go
in the oven with this.
431
00:19:38,967 --> 00:19:41,867
I cannot spend
any more time
on these cups.
432
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:45,200
This tasting element
has sucked up
a lot of my time.
433
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,967
I need to get started
on my sugar beakers.
434
00:19:47,967 --> 00:19:49,767
You've got three hours.
435
00:19:49,767 --> 00:19:51,700
[Blood Stain] So, I'm
using butternut squash
for the horsehead
436
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:54,967
because A, it is
perfectly horsehead shaped,
437
00:19:54,967 --> 00:19:56,867
B, it's a lot softer
than pumpkin.
438
00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:59,100
I've got to make
this hole in here
439
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:04,100
because Sarah's making these
gorgeous sugar glass eyes
to go in.
440
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:08,200
[Kyle] Blood Stain
is a costume designer
for TV, movies.
441
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,967
She's a completely
self-taught pumpkin carver.
442
00:20:10,967 --> 00:20:14,266
-Do you want to move them now,
or are you still...
-Uh, we can move them now.
443
00:20:14,266 --> 00:20:18,667
[Kyle] She taught herself
how to carve pumpkins using
regular tools around the house
444
00:20:18,667 --> 00:20:21,300
and it's like she's been
doing it her whole life.
445
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,967
I'm making a dome-shaped moon
and I'm going to place it
over the lights.
446
00:20:28,967 --> 00:20:30,200
I want the moon to be
447
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,600
a 3-D shape
coming off of the backboard.
448
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,767
So I fill the balloon
with water and some air.
449
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:37,900
What happens when you fill
the balloon with water
450
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,367
is that when the isomalt
touches the latex,
451
00:20:40,367 --> 00:20:41,567
it's able to cool down
452
00:20:41,567 --> 00:20:44,000
because that water
is circulating inside
the balloon.
453
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,600
And then I dip the balloon
into fresh isomalt
454
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,400
a couple of times
to create a nice, thick wall.
455
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,467
Making an isomalt piece
this size is really risky
456
00:20:52,467 --> 00:20:54,166
because it's a lot
more fragile
457
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,200
and it can easily break.
458
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,467
I'm just blending out
these craters.
459
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:02,500
Once the isomalt balloon
is cooled down,
460
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:03,967
I need to snip it
very carefully
461
00:21:03,967 --> 00:21:06,700
so that the water
will drain slowly
into a bowl.
462
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:09,500
I need to be able
to keep the water
and the isomalt separate
463
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:12,333
because water will
disintegrate isomalt.
464
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:15,400
-[Shinmin gasps]
-[Jonathan] Whoa!
465
00:21:17,467 --> 00:21:20,100
[Emerlie]
I'm holding this balloon,
and it just pops on its own.
466
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:21,433
Water goes everywhere.
467
00:21:21,433 --> 00:21:24,400
And at this point,
we're too far along
for me to redo this moon.
468
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,433
[chuckling]
469
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:28,200
It's safe.
470
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:30,333
[Emerlie exclaims]
471
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:32,967
[Shellane]
Everything's good, right?
472
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:35,567
I caught it
on the back of my arm.
473
00:21:35,567 --> 00:21:37,467
-[chuckling] Oh.
-She caught it.
474
00:21:37,467 --> 00:21:39,567
Oh, my gosh!
475
00:21:39,567 --> 00:21:41,700
-Wow!
-Wow! That would
have been a disaster.
476
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,066
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
-It's such a beautiful moon.
477
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:45,667
Who said Halloween
wasn't a contact sport, huh?
478
00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:47,367
Am I right?
Am I right?
479
00:21:47,367 --> 00:21:50,000
Yeah? No, I got myself.
Cool, cool.
480
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,400
[Emerlie] It's time
to hang this moon.
481
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,200
Test it.
482
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,667
-Yes!
-[Shellane] Yes. Beautiful.
483
00:21:55,667 --> 00:21:57,367
[Emerlie] It's perfect.
484
00:21:57,367 --> 00:21:59,500
[Alan] Hey, guys, real quick,
let's lift the wolf.
485
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,166
-Okay.
-[Emerlie] Hold on.
I need to get the shoe.
486
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:02,233
[Alan] There we go.
487
00:22:02,233 --> 00:22:03,767
Needs to turn.
We need to turn
a little bit more.
488
00:22:03,767 --> 00:22:05,000
Hold on. I gotta let go.
489
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,133
Okay, great.
490
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,900
Come on, girl.
491
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:15,000
I want to finish
this character.
492
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600
[Reva]
Daphne is working on the
main sculptural character,
493
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,266
creating a beautiful face,
494
00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:22,266
a head that looks like
she's turning into
a sea creature.
495
00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:26,500
They've got a human
changing into an octopus
in a shower,
496
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,400
which could be cute
497
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,100
-if it's not
scary enough, right?
-Yeah.
498
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,600
I mean, it would be
definitely frightening.
499
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,166
-But is it going
to be spooky enough...
-[Jonathan] Right.
500
00:22:35,166 --> 00:22:38,100
-...especially compared to all
of the other designs tonight?
-[Jonathan] Mmm-hmm.
501
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,800
[Shinmin] I think it's because
there's no element of danger.
502
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,367
Okay, so the tentacles
are done.
503
00:22:45,367 --> 00:22:47,767
So I'm cutting
this cat out finally.
504
00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,467
[Reva] Lincoln is
in charge of creating
the second character,
505
00:22:50,467 --> 00:22:52,667
which is supposed
to be an ominous cat.
506
00:22:52,667 --> 00:22:56,100
[Lincoln]
So I want, like, a cat
with an elegant look.
507
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,567
It's made
with butternut squash.
508
00:22:58,567 --> 00:23:00,900
And I cut the squash,
glue it together,
509
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,000
then I, kind of,
sculpt the cat.
510
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,367
[Reva] That's a tiny little
kitty cat over there.
511
00:23:05,367 --> 00:23:08,867
I thought the cat
was going to be made
out of a large pumpkin.
512
00:23:08,867 --> 00:23:10,967
But it turns out
that it's being made out
513
00:23:10,967 --> 00:23:13,600
of butternut squash,
so it's much smaller
514
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,867
than any of us
had thought it would be.
515
00:23:15,867 --> 00:23:18,166
That's really important
because that's our
second character,
516
00:23:18,166 --> 00:23:20,100
and it really needs
to have some presence.
517
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,767
I need tentacles
for the cat.
518
00:23:22,767 --> 00:23:25,367
I'm concerned about
the second character
here at Bone Battalion,
519
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:27,767
because the cat
is very static.
520
00:23:27,767 --> 00:23:29,667
-It's not really reacting...
-Right.
521
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:31,100
-...to what's
happening in the tub.
-[Jonathan] Mmm-hmm.
522
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:32,867
-Yeah.
-And also it's very small
523
00:23:32,867 --> 00:23:35,567
to have such a diminutive
supporting actor.
524
00:23:35,567 --> 00:23:38,567
I just don't think
it does much
for this main character.
525
00:23:38,567 --> 00:23:40,867
You've got two hours, teams.
Two hours. Let's go!
526
00:23:40,867 --> 00:23:42,200
-[Emerlie] Two hours?
-[Alan] Seriously?
527
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,233
[Emerlie] Oh, my God!
528
00:23:43,233 --> 00:23:44,867
[Kyle] What I'm doing now
is I'm doing the front
529
00:23:44,867 --> 00:23:47,000
of the nuckelavee
rider's body.
530
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,667
I'm trying to make him
look like all his flesh
is ripped off.
531
00:23:50,667 --> 00:23:55,266
The skin is all gone,
so it's all exposed teeth
and muscle and sinew.
532
00:23:55,266 --> 00:23:58,100
And it's just
the creepiest-looking thing
you've ever seen.
533
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,333
-[Blood Stain] I love him.
-[Sarah] You got him?
534
00:24:00,967 --> 00:24:02,100
Yeah, he's on.
535
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:03,767
[Blood Stain]
We're going to have
to start painting.
536
00:24:03,767 --> 00:24:06,266
I just love the fact
that the rider
537
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:09,066
-has exaggerated
super long arms.
-[Aarti] Mmm-hmm.
538
00:24:09,066 --> 00:24:10,166
[Shinmin] And it's in motion.
539
00:24:10,166 --> 00:24:11,767
You can tell
he's coming for you.
540
00:24:11,767 --> 00:24:13,266
[Kyle] How you doing,
Blood Stain?
541
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:15,700
-I am doing okay.
-[Kyle] Okay.
542
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:18,467
I'm feeling very stressed.
543
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:21,266
Shannon has been focusing
on the bug head.
544
00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:23,400
She not only has
the bug to complete,
545
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,100
but she also is in charge
of the entire body
of the scientist.
546
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:28,967
I'm working
with modeling chocolate,
547
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:30,900
and I've never
done that in my life.
548
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:34,867
So I turn around
and Eric's completely finished
with all of his pumpkin work,
549
00:24:34,867 --> 00:24:37,767
and he's starting to sculpt...
modeling chocolate?
550
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:39,667
[Eric] Shannon asked me
to give her a hand
551
00:24:39,667 --> 00:24:41,467
with some of the
modeling chocolate.
552
00:24:41,467 --> 00:24:43,100
[Briea] But he is
literally sculpting
553
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:44,900
the rest
of the scientist's body,
554
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,100
and he's doing
a fantastic job
of adapting quickly.
555
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:49,333
[Eric]
Shannon, how you doing?
556
00:24:49,333 --> 00:24:52,767
[Shannon]
Okay. I'm gonna go ahead
and get her up on there.
557
00:24:52,767 --> 00:24:54,100
Push the face.
558
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:55,600
Oh, boy.
559
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,467
Okay. You tell me
where to position him.
560
00:24:57,467 --> 00:25:00,266
-[Eric] As far over as we can.
-[Shannon] Okay.
561
00:25:00,266 --> 00:25:01,333
Far this way?
562
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,266
-So--
-Like, his leg almost off
the thing, or--
563
00:25:03,266 --> 00:25:04,667
-That's good, that's good.
-[Shannon] You safe? Okay?
564
00:25:04,667 --> 00:25:07,100
My tasting element
is chocolate and onion.
565
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:10,367
I'm just gonna start with
an onion and pear jam.
566
00:25:10,367 --> 00:25:13,367
We won chocolate and onion.
567
00:25:13,367 --> 00:25:16,634
I use the word "won"
very loosely.
568
00:25:17,867 --> 00:25:20,700
Emerlie is a little bit
more optimistic
569
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:24,166
about the chocolate
and onion pairing than I am.
570
00:25:24,166 --> 00:25:26,700
Our tasting element
is going to be
571
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:30,567
a caramelized onion
and pear bonbon
572
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:33,767
topped with fried rice paper,
sprinkled with sea salt.
573
00:25:33,767 --> 00:25:35,500
[Emerlie] Onion is
a savory flavor.
574
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,300
I still want the judges
to taste the onion,
575
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:41,400
but I'm gonna tone it down
with some of that sweet pear.
576
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,867
And then we'll smooth it out
with some white chocolate.
577
00:25:43,867 --> 00:25:46,100
[Shellane] She adds
this balsamic vinegar.
578
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:47,767
Then she adds
a little bit of honey.
579
00:25:47,767 --> 00:25:49,367
I've tempered
some white chocolate,
580
00:25:49,367 --> 00:25:51,000
and I'm filling
my bonbon mold
581
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,500
with my white chocolate.
582
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:56,266
I'm gonna dump
the white chocolate back out
just so that I have shells.
583
00:25:56,266 --> 00:25:58,166
Okay, I'm just filling
my bonbons
584
00:25:58,166 --> 00:26:01,100
with the caramel,
onion and pear jam.
585
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:02,667
So I'm just topping this
586
00:26:02,667 --> 00:26:06,266
with a little bit
of white chocolate
mascarpone ganache.
587
00:26:06,266 --> 00:26:08,300
And then I'm gonna cap them.
588
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,567
We really wanted our piece
to be interactive.
589
00:26:10,567 --> 00:26:13,467
We wanted the judges
to have to, kind of,
dig through the trashcan
590
00:26:13,467 --> 00:26:15,467
to get the tasting element.
591
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:17,467
[Emerlie] So this is
wafer paper pieces
592
00:26:17,467 --> 00:26:19,467
that I use
on top of the bonbons
593
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:20,967
so it just looks like trash.
594
00:26:20,967 --> 00:26:23,100
One hour.
You've got one hour left!
595
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:25,467
One hour.
All right, you guys,
we gotta move.
596
00:26:25,467 --> 00:26:27,166
Let's do these wings.
597
00:26:27,166 --> 00:26:31,166
I spent way too much time
on that petri dish
tasting element,
598
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:33,000
and it's still
not assembled.
599
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,066
I haven't pulled
the wings yet.
600
00:26:35,066 --> 00:26:39,000
So I pull the sugar.
This has connection points.
601
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,300
We're just gonna
feed it right through.
602
00:26:43,967 --> 00:26:47,300
I'm gonna
make the outline first
and then use gelatin,
603
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:52,667
believe it or not,
to give that ethereal look
of a see-through wing.
604
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:55,000
These are the translucent
part of the wings,
605
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,934
and I'm using sugar
to attach the gelatin.
606
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:03,200
[all gasping]
607
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,800
[Shinmin] Briea broke
one of the wings.
608
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,900
[Aarti] Oh, no.
609
00:27:12,967 --> 00:27:14,367
[Briea] All right.
That was awesome.
610
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:15,867
I just broke it.
611
00:27:15,867 --> 00:27:18,100
-What just happened?
-[Shinmin] Briea broke
one of the wings.
612
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,000
[Aarti] Oh, no.
613
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,367
Oh, man.
614
00:27:20,367 --> 00:27:22,467
This wing is a really
difficult technique.
615
00:27:22,467 --> 00:27:23,900
I gotta redo the veins,
616
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,266
somehow attach the gelatin
617
00:27:25,266 --> 00:27:27,266
and move on
to the tasting element.
618
00:27:27,266 --> 00:27:31,500
All right, Shannon, the wings
are gonna stay right here,
okay?
619
00:27:32,767 --> 00:27:34,967
Tasting element.
Let's do it.
620
00:27:34,967 --> 00:27:37,400
So I'm trying to assemble
this tasting element
621
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,066
and brûlée these peaches
with the sage sugar.
622
00:27:40,066 --> 00:27:43,767
Try to caramelize it
for some black notes
on those peaches,
623
00:27:43,767 --> 00:27:48,800
throw a sage leaf on
and hope my petri dish
is delicious.
624
00:27:49,667 --> 00:27:51,600
Teams,
you have 30 minutes left.
625
00:27:53,066 --> 00:27:54,500
I'm making
the selfie stick.
626
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:58,266
So I have the stick itself,
plus the tripod legs.
627
00:27:58,266 --> 00:28:01,700
[Shellane] Emerlie has
this unique technique
628
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:05,667
of making sculpted chocolate
that I've never seen before.
629
00:28:05,667 --> 00:28:08,567
She, kind of, takes
clumps of chocolate,
630
00:28:08,567 --> 00:28:13,767
and then rolls it out
into a uniform log
and chops up pieces.
631
00:28:13,767 --> 00:28:17,300
She then glues them together
with more chocolate
632
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,166
and does this, like,
polishing technique.
633
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:22,166
[Emerlie] So what happens is
if you take hot water
634
00:28:22,166 --> 00:28:25,367
and you give it
a little water bath,
it melts the surface.
635
00:28:25,367 --> 00:28:27,567
And then the melted chocolate
on the surface
636
00:28:27,567 --> 00:28:29,867
will fill in
the little holes and gaps.
637
00:28:29,867 --> 00:28:31,867
[Shellane]
I'm astounded by her work.
638
00:28:31,867 --> 00:28:34,166
Okay. If I place this,
no one's gonna ruin it, right?
639
00:28:34,166 --> 00:28:36,700
-No.
-Okay. Here?
640
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:38,400
[Shellane] Yes.
641
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,867
-Come on. Lower--
-Let's make sure of the
position before we place it.
642
00:28:41,867 --> 00:28:43,200
We don't have
that much time, mama.
643
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,667
I love you, but I can't talk
a whole lot right now.
644
00:28:45,667 --> 00:28:48,800
[Reva]
We have to get everything
onto the board.
645
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,867
Is it the most beautiful,
edible vinyl curtain
there could be?
646
00:28:51,867 --> 00:28:55,300
No. But it's done,
and we're getting it on here.
647
00:28:59,166 --> 00:29:02,800
[Sarah] Okay, guys.
So I'm gonna finish
our tasting element now.
648
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,367
This is a chocolate shell,
649
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:09,300
so it'll harden when it sets,
and it'll look like rocks.
650
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:12,767
I'm gonna put our little
tasty guys on here.
651
00:29:12,767 --> 00:29:14,266
Teams, you have
ten minutes left.
652
00:29:14,266 --> 00:29:15,600
Ten minutes remain!
653
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,567
-[Reva] Oh, my God.
Okay, guys, ten minutes.
-[Kyle] Ten minutes.
654
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:19,567
[Reva]
We're gonna get this done.
655
00:29:19,567 --> 00:29:22,867
[Briea]
Do not jiggle this table
for the love of God.
656
00:29:22,867 --> 00:29:24,667
Do you need some chocolate
to set it or anything, Briea?
657
00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:26,100
-[Briea] No.
Please leave me alone.
-Okay.
658
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:27,266
-I need--
-[Shannon] I just don't know
659
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:29,100
which beakers
Briea wants where and--
660
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:30,667
[Eric] Briea,
there's also an option
661
00:29:30,667 --> 00:29:32,367
-to let it rest under it.
-I understand.
662
00:29:32,367 --> 00:29:34,166
-I need to be left alone.
-[Shannon] Ten minutes,
you guys.
663
00:29:34,166 --> 00:29:37,266
Guys, I need you
to stop micromanaging me.
664
00:29:37,266 --> 00:29:39,066
-[Shannon] I'm not--
-I'm being as kind as I can.
665
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:40,166
[Eric]
The anxiety is heightened.
666
00:29:40,166 --> 00:29:41,367
When the anxiety
is heightened,
667
00:29:41,367 --> 00:29:43,467
the whole team dynamic
changes at this point.
668
00:29:43,467 --> 00:29:44,767
Not there, not there.
669
00:29:44,767 --> 00:29:45,867
We got to put
the beaker in his hand.
670
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:47,567
-Can't be there.
-Which one goes
in his hand, Briea?
671
00:29:47,567 --> 00:29:49,200
I understand.
672
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,400
This needs to go here,
673
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,100
and the other beaker
needs to go there.
674
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:54,567
-We talked about this.
-It's gonna block her face
if you put that there.
675
00:29:54,567 --> 00:29:56,367
-[Briea] No, I'm not.
-[Eric] You're gonna
block her face.
676
00:29:56,367 --> 00:29:58,266
Composition.
Think about it.
677
00:29:58,266 --> 00:30:00,367
Over here,
this is negative space.
678
00:30:00,367 --> 00:30:01,500
-That's perfect.
-Yes. It's so true.
679
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,567
-I--
-[Eric] Believe me.
It's what I do for a living.
680
00:30:03,567 --> 00:30:04,667
Oh, my God,
they're actually fighting.
681
00:30:04,667 --> 00:30:06,600
I'm gonna have a panic attack
if you don't trust me.
682
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,767
I really am gonna have
a panic attack.
683
00:30:07,767 --> 00:30:09,100
[Eric] But that has
to go down there.
684
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:10,900
It's our first time
working together,
685
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:13,600
and we're definitely
having difficulty
listening to one another.
686
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,066
Guys, please listen to me.
687
00:30:15,066 --> 00:30:17,166
-She's screaming.
-I've never seen this much
tension on Halloween Wars.
688
00:30:17,166 --> 00:30:19,100
-She's screaming at them.
-I've never seen people
actually scream.
689
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:20,400
This is not gonna end well.
690
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,266
[Eric] We've got
too much negative space.
691
00:30:22,266 --> 00:30:23,900
[Shannon] I hear you.
I hear ya.
692
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:26,667
What can we do about it?
693
00:30:26,667 --> 00:30:29,367
We got beakers.
Can the beakers
be on the floor?
694
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:30,667
[Briea] Yes, you can place
beakers on the table,
695
00:30:30,667 --> 00:30:32,667
and you can place
one beaker on the shelf.
696
00:30:32,667 --> 00:30:33,834
[Eric] What can I do, Briea?
697
00:30:33,834 --> 00:30:36,967
[Briea] Can someone
put the petri dishes
on that shelf?
698
00:30:36,967 --> 00:30:38,166
Can I put some
on this table, Briea?
699
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:39,867
-Because they're not
all gonna fit on here.
-That's fine.
700
00:30:39,867 --> 00:30:41,166
-[Shannon] Okay.
-[Briea] That's fine.
701
00:30:41,166 --> 00:30:44,200
At the end of the day,
a pressure cooker
is a pressure cooker.
702
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,967
But I can't say that
I'm happy with my attitude.
703
00:30:47,967 --> 00:30:50,967
[Lincoln] Are those balls
and stuff ready to go in?
704
00:30:50,967 --> 00:30:53,967
These are the ones that are...
For there, the tasting ones.
705
00:30:53,967 --> 00:30:56,266
So I'm just gonna grab
some modeling chocolate
706
00:30:56,266 --> 00:30:59,500
and do some feet
for the bottom of the tub
707
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,700
because right now,
the armature is exposed.
708
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,000
I'm putting the feet on,
and then I'm doing
the bubbles.
709
00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:08,200
-One minute!
-Okay, one minute,
one minute.
710
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:10,166
[Shellane]
I don't feel comfortable
711
00:31:10,166 --> 00:31:11,867
putting it on there
and it breaks,
712
00:31:11,867 --> 00:31:14,734
so I'm gonna place,
and then you can smooth out.
713
00:31:14,867 --> 00:31:16,266
Oh.
714
00:31:16,266 --> 00:31:19,400
-Ten, nine, eight...
-[Sarah] Oh, my God.
715
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,900
-Okay, I'm just gonna do
some of these cracks.
-...seven, six, five...
716
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:27,500
-This thing is not working.
-...four, three, two, one.
717
00:31:28,066 --> 00:31:29,233
Time's up!
718
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,033
Oh, my gosh!
719
00:31:34,667 --> 00:31:37,500
-[Emerlie] Okay. No, hugs.
-[Alan] Hug, hug, hug.
720
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,266
[Briea sighs] I love you.
Thank you so much.
721
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:41,567
-Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
-You're welcome.
722
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:42,800
[Briea] Thank you
for all your hard work.
723
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,100
-You guys did great. You did--
-Thank you for your hard work.
724
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:46,300
[Eric] You did so good.
725
00:31:53,166 --> 00:31:56,567
Two Ghouls and a Butcher,
you're up.
726
00:31:56,567 --> 00:31:59,200
[Shellane] We have
our teen werewolf.
727
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,900
He goes on a outing
with his friend.
728
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:05,000
And they want
to create some content.
729
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,166
We have a pumpkin werewolf.
730
00:32:07,166 --> 00:32:10,367
We have a cake
that is our friend.
731
00:32:10,367 --> 00:32:11,800
Cake and modeling chocolate.
732
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,100
We have a chocolate
and isomalt ring light
733
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:18,066
as well as an isomalt moon.
734
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:21,166
Shellane, this girl is
everything I want to be,
735
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:22,667
except for the fact
that her best friend
736
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,567
-is turning into a werewolf.
-[Shellane] Yeah, yeah.
737
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:27,500
[Aarti] It's just
so beautifully sculpted.
738
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:28,967
Your pumpkin work, Alan,
739
00:32:28,967 --> 00:32:32,567
I think it needs
some lightness
on the werewolf side
740
00:32:32,567 --> 00:32:34,600
so that we can
really see some of it
741
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,867
-because
it's a little bit dark.
-Thank you.
742
00:32:36,867 --> 00:32:41,867
We asked for someone
in mid-transformation
in an inopportune time.
743
00:32:41,867 --> 00:32:44,133
This is literally
caught on camera.
744
00:32:45,967 --> 00:32:47,400
The composition is great.
745
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,867
We have one, two, three.
746
00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:51,867
The eyes just really follow
this flow of movement.
747
00:32:51,867 --> 00:32:53,767
And, Emerlie, I love the fact
that you gave us
748
00:32:53,767 --> 00:32:56,066
this gorgeous
sugar moon there.
749
00:32:56,066 --> 00:32:57,400
Emerlie, tell us about
the tasting element
750
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,767
and what ingredients
you got.
751
00:32:58,767 --> 00:33:00,300
So we got chocolate
and onion.
752
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:02,867
I definitely feel like we got
the hardest one here.
753
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:06,467
So this is a caramelized onion
and pear bonbon.
754
00:33:06,467 --> 00:33:09,000
It is a caramelized onion
and pear jam
755
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400
in a white chocolate bonbon,
756
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,567
and then it's fried up
rice paper with sea salt.
757
00:33:15,567 --> 00:33:17,066
[Shinmin] Wow. That's
a very interesting bite.
758
00:33:17,066 --> 00:33:20,100
It tastes both savory
and sweet at the same time.
759
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:21,867
That's a really good
balance there.
760
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,367
The only thing
I would change
761
00:33:23,367 --> 00:33:26,066
is I would use
a darker, maybe, like,
bittersweet chocolate
762
00:33:26,066 --> 00:33:28,000
as opposed
to the white chocolate.
763
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,266
It doesn't have a very strong
chocolate flavor.
764
00:33:30,266 --> 00:33:33,367
I love that you kept
some of the texture
of the onion in there.
765
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:35,100
That's a very bold choice.
766
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:36,567
-I did not want
to shy away from it.
-[Aarti] Yeah.
767
00:33:36,567 --> 00:33:38,367
-I wanted to own it.
-[Jonathan] Smart.
768
00:33:38,367 --> 00:33:43,700
-[Emerlie] Yeah.
-This is a very bold,
confident, assertive bite.
769
00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:46,266
Two Ghouls and a Butcher,
thank you so much.
770
00:33:46,266 --> 00:33:47,300
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
771
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:48,700
[Jonathan]
Delectable Demons,
772
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:52,667
tell us about
your monster in transition.
773
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:56,667
[Briea]
Today, they have decided
to make a chemical
774
00:33:56,667 --> 00:34:00,667
that will get rid of their
bug infestation problem
in the lab.
775
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:03,066
But the experiment
goes wrong.
776
00:34:03,066 --> 00:34:04,367
The transformed woman,
777
00:34:04,367 --> 00:34:06,166
it's made of
rice cereal treat,
778
00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:08,000
modeling chocolate
and fondant.
779
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,066
You have sugar wings,
you have a pumpkin face
and a pumpkin background.
780
00:34:13,066 --> 00:34:15,166
We made all the stone brick.
781
00:34:15,166 --> 00:34:18,867
Wow. There's such a sense
of movement in your piece.
782
00:34:18,867 --> 00:34:20,867
I'm obsessed
with this scientist.
783
00:34:20,867 --> 00:34:24,800
Eric, you've captured
this amazing personality
in his face.
784
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,166
Shannon,
this character in the back,
the assistant bug,
785
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,700
she's creepy AF.
786
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,166
Some of the sugar work
is not as successful.
787
00:34:35,166 --> 00:34:38,100
Like, the wings on the
actual assistant herself,
788
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,500
they seem really rough.
789
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:40,467
I can hear it.
790
00:34:40,467 --> 00:34:44,266
It is such a vivid depiction
of this moment.
791
00:34:44,266 --> 00:34:45,734
When it comes
to the tasting element,
792
00:34:45,734 --> 00:34:50,567
I feel like you guys
could have worked it into
the scene a little better.
793
00:34:50,567 --> 00:34:52,867
Briea, tell us about
the tasting element.
794
00:34:52,867 --> 00:34:57,200
[Briea] My ingredients
for the tasting element
was sage and peaches.
795
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,667
I made a baklava tart,
796
00:34:59,667 --> 00:35:03,900
made out of layers
of phyllo dough, butter
and sage sugar in between.
797
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:07,400
And a beautiful, velvety
vanilla pastry cream
798
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,867
with roasted peaches
atop a sage fried leaf.
799
00:35:12,867 --> 00:35:14,567
Briea,
this is a lovely bite.
800
00:35:14,567 --> 00:35:17,767
I really love the tender,
toothsome peach
801
00:35:17,767 --> 00:35:20,967
with the creaminess
of the vanilla pastry cream.
802
00:35:20,967 --> 00:35:24,166
I do wish that I had
a little bit more sage.
803
00:35:24,166 --> 00:35:27,100
My favorite part
is actually the creme pat
that you have in here.
804
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:31,867
It's got that perfect, smooth
but still jiggly texture.
805
00:35:31,867 --> 00:35:33,567
I agree with Aarti.
806
00:35:33,567 --> 00:35:36,767
I wish there was
a little bit more sage flavor.
807
00:35:36,767 --> 00:35:38,166
Delectable Demons,
thank you so much.
808
00:35:38,166 --> 00:35:39,834
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
809
00:35:41,767 --> 00:35:44,066
[Reva]
Here we have Penelope.
810
00:35:44,066 --> 00:35:46,667
What she didn't realize
was that the bath bubbles
811
00:35:46,667 --> 00:35:48,767
that were given to her
by a stranger
812
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:51,266
turned her into
a sea creature.
813
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:53,500
Penelope herself
is the cake element,
814
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:56,000
with modeling chocolate
and rice cereal treats.
815
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,967
The tub is also
a cake element.
816
00:35:57,967 --> 00:36:00,467
The tentacles
are actually pumpkin.
817
00:36:00,467 --> 00:36:03,767
We have an edible
vinyl shower curtain,
818
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:06,100
and some sugar balls
and chocolate balls.
819
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:08,500
There are so many
unique techniques here.
820
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:12,166
I love, Reva,
that you showed us
something new today
821
00:36:12,166 --> 00:36:14,467
by cooking down the gelatin
with the cornstarch
822
00:36:14,467 --> 00:36:16,467
to create these super bendy,
823
00:36:16,467 --> 00:36:18,800
flexy, rubbery
shower curtains.
824
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,033
Lincoln, I think
you did a really good job
825
00:36:20,033 --> 00:36:24,266
incorporating
the pumpkin tentacles
into the cake display.
826
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,500
I cannot tell
that that's pumpkin.
827
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:30,467
The thing about this cat
is that it's very small.
828
00:36:30,467 --> 00:36:32,667
And without you explaining
what is happening,
829
00:36:32,667 --> 00:36:36,200
I don't understand
how it fits into the story.
830
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,467
The challenge was
a monster in transition,
831
00:36:39,467 --> 00:36:44,100
but at an inopportune moment,
and we're not getting that.
832
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:46,900
You didn't make great use
of your second character.
833
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:49,400
That's where
you get the tension.
834
00:36:55,667 --> 00:36:56,900
Tell us your two ingredients
and what did you make?
835
00:36:56,900 --> 00:36:58,333
Cheese and honey.
836
00:36:58,333 --> 00:37:03,667
So I made a very light
and delicate cheesecake
to go with honey mousse.
837
00:37:03,667 --> 00:37:07,133
I add apricot coulis in
to balance the sweetness.
838
00:37:07,767 --> 00:37:08,867
Mmm.
839
00:37:08,867 --> 00:37:12,500
This is a very delicious bite,
and it was super fun.
840
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:16,667
I think that apricot
was a really lovely touch.
841
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:19,000
It's very bright and happy.
842
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,667
And a lovely counterpoint
to the sweetness of the honey.
843
00:37:21,667 --> 00:37:23,800
But I'm missing
the cheese.
844
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,967
It's almost too subtle.
845
00:37:25,967 --> 00:37:28,800
I absolutely love
this tasting.
846
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,867
The honey mousse
is just loud and clear.
847
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:33,400
I can definitely
taste the honey.
848
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,367
I think it's so smart
that you did the cheesecake.
849
00:37:36,367 --> 00:37:38,100
So sorry to disagree.
850
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:44,500
Um, the texture
of this cheesecake
is so airy and fluffy.
851
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:45,667
It's really, really clever.
852
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:47,467
Bone Battalion,
thank you so much.
853
00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:49,033
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
854
00:37:50,367 --> 00:37:53,200
Scream of the Crop,
tell us about your monster.
855
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,867
So this is yee-haw!
856
00:37:55,867 --> 00:37:58,367
Wow.
857
00:37:58,367 --> 00:38:01,166
[Kyle] So what happened is
our down-on-the-luck clown
858
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:03,500
opened a portal
that turned his best friend
859
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:05,767
riding his horse
into a nuckelavee.
860
00:38:05,767 --> 00:38:08,667
The horse is
butternut squash, pumpkin,
861
00:38:08,667 --> 00:38:12,166
and our rider is
modeling chocolate
with fondant.
862
00:38:12,166 --> 00:38:14,900
The clown is rice
cereal treats and fondant.
863
00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:18,800
The sugar elements
are the flames, the book
and the tasting element.
864
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,100
I think this is
such a clever design.
865
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:25,667
You guys did
such a great job of melding
all the mediums together.
866
00:38:25,667 --> 00:38:27,600
We have to talk
about the nuckelavee.
867
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,867
Great texture,
great carving.
868
00:38:30,867 --> 00:38:35,667
A really great, sort of,
melding of the two
artists here
869
00:38:35,667 --> 00:38:36,767
into one piece.
870
00:38:36,767 --> 00:38:38,867
It's funny
because when you started
to paint it red,
871
00:38:38,867 --> 00:38:41,000
I was like,
"Oh, my gosh! Wow!
872
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,867
It's just turned into
a whole different thing."
873
00:38:42,867 --> 00:38:46,000
Unfortunately,
because you didn't create
shadow in there,
874
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,066
some of that great texture
that you carved in
875
00:38:48,066 --> 00:38:50,433
isn't really
jumping out anymore.
876
00:38:50,767 --> 00:38:53,367
Ew, first of all.
877
00:38:53,367 --> 00:38:56,400
You were able
to incorporate your skills
878
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,567
as pumpkin, as cake artists
and modeling chocolate.
879
00:39:00,567 --> 00:39:04,367
And you created this
really uniform, cohesive body.
880
00:39:04,367 --> 00:39:07,867
The colors are
just too bright.
881
00:39:07,867 --> 00:39:10,300
You know what they do
with rodeo clowns
that retire, right?
882
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:11,834
They host Halloween Wars.
883
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:16,600
Sarah, why don't you tell us
about the tasting element?
884
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,600
What ingredients
did you get?
885
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,200
[Sarah] So our ingredients
were miso and maple.
886
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,200
So for you today,
we have a miso pear compote
inside a maple mousse
887
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,100
with a miso walnut
crunch layer,
888
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:28,467
and it's dipped
in a white chocolate shell.
889
00:39:28,467 --> 00:39:30,266
Decorated to look
like rocks.
890
00:39:30,266 --> 00:39:32,000
[Shinmin] My favorite part
is the actual
891
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,266
walnut maple crunch
that you have on the bottom.
892
00:39:34,266 --> 00:39:36,200
It's just a nice way
to add texture
893
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,400
to an otherwise
pretty soft tasting.
894
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,767
I can definitely taste
the maple as well.
895
00:39:40,767 --> 00:39:43,767
Miso is tough.
Miso is very subtle in flavor.
896
00:39:43,767 --> 00:39:46,800
I agree. I think you were
a little light with the miso.
897
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,266
I love the pear in there.
898
00:39:48,266 --> 00:39:50,467
I think it adds
a little bit of freshness.
899
00:39:50,467 --> 00:39:52,767
Scream of the Crop, great job.
Thank you so much.
900
00:39:52,767 --> 00:39:54,400
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
901
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,967
There is some great work
out here tonight
902
00:39:58,967 --> 00:40:01,100
that really impressed
the judges.
903
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:05,567
But one team
pulled out all the stops
in presentation and flavors
904
00:40:05,567 --> 00:40:10,800
to seamlessly transition
from terrifying
to downright delicious.
905
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:14,200
The winner
of this challenge is...
906
00:40:19,667 --> 00:40:22,200
Two Ghouls and a Butcher.
Congratulations.
907
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:29,467
-Onions and chocolate.
-A winning combination.
908
00:40:29,467 --> 00:40:30,200
Wow!
909
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,000
And now,
for the tough decision.
910
00:40:32,367 --> 00:40:33,900
The bottom two.
911
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:36,767
Scream of the Crop,
the sculpting on the horse
912
00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:38,867
and the clown face
are amazing.
913
00:40:38,867 --> 00:40:41,367
But you covered
all that pumpkin
in red paint,
914
00:40:41,367 --> 00:40:44,367
and we lost all the details
that you worked so hard on.
915
00:40:44,367 --> 00:40:47,667
Bone Battalion,
we loved seeing
something fresh and new,
916
00:40:47,667 --> 00:40:48,767
like the shower curtain.
917
00:40:48,767 --> 00:40:52,467
And the work
on the octopus face
was delightful.
918
00:40:52,467 --> 00:40:54,100
But we don't feel
any tension
919
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:55,767
from the monster
transitioning,
920
00:40:55,767 --> 00:40:57,600
and that
was the challenge.
921
00:40:59,367 --> 00:41:02,133
This was a tough decision
for the judges to make.
922
00:41:03,166 --> 00:41:05,634
The team
leaving us tonight is...
923
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:12,600
Bone Battalion.
924
00:41:13,667 --> 00:41:16,767
[Reva] I'm not used to being
the one out first,
925
00:41:16,767 --> 00:41:18,967
so it's humbling.
926
00:41:18,967 --> 00:41:20,400
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, guys.
927
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,200
-Thank you.
-[Kyle] Bye, guys.
928
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,600
[Reva] I can accept it.
929
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,133
And I can come back
and do better next time.
930
00:41:29,367 --> 00:41:33,867
Two Ghouls and a Butcher,
Scream of the Crop
and Delectable Demons,
931
00:41:33,867 --> 00:41:37,533
we'll see you all soon
for more monster action.
932
00:41:38,767 --> 00:41:43,567
Next time,
the six teams face off
in an all-out Halloween War.
933
00:41:43,567 --> 00:41:45,100
-[Emerlie] So perfect.
-[Shellane shrieks]
934
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:46,166
That whole thing's shaking.
935
00:41:46,166 --> 00:41:47,400
[woman 1]
It's so scary looking.
936
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,500
[Jonathan]
As they take on demons
that haunt your dreams
937
00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:54,467
and a challenge inspired by
Nightmare on Elm Street.
938
00:41:54,467 --> 00:41:56,100
-[Briea] Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!
939
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:57,867
-[woman 2]
These are going down.
-[man] I'm not touching it.
940
00:41:57,867 --> 00:41:59,500
-[woman 3 gasps]
-[Shinmin gasps]
