00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:03,000
[wolf howling]
2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,667
I'm back!
3
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:12,300
I'm Zach Bagans and I've taken
control of Halloween Wars,
4
00:00:12,367 --> 00:00:16,567
leading teams
of world class cake,
sugar and pumpkin artists
5
00:00:16,567 --> 00:00:21,200
on a tour of some
of the most haunted
locations in the world.
6
00:00:21,266 --> 00:00:25,467
Inspiring them with my own
personal experiences
with the paranormal.
7
00:00:25,467 --> 00:00:27,266
Pumpkin gods, let's go.
8
00:00:27,266 --> 00:00:30,000
[Zak] Now there's one
last battle to see who will
win the trip of a lifetime
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
[Zak] Now there's one
last battle to see who will
win the trip of a lifetime
10
00:00:32,567 --> 00:00:36,867
to a city famous
for its pastries,
and its hauntings.
11
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:40,567
It's the season finale
of Halloween Wars.
12
00:00:40,567 --> 00:00:42,467
Let's get spooky!
13
00:00:42,467 --> 00:00:44,967
-Uh, careful, careful.
-Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh.
14
00:00:44,967 --> 00:00:47,600
-Oh, my gosh, oh,
it's... so big.
-Thing is huge.
15
00:00:47,667 --> 00:00:49,567
-I'm scared.
-Oh, my gosh!
16
00:01:01,266 --> 00:01:03,166
[lightning crackling]
17
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:10,867
[Eddie Jackson]
One last battle,
one last challenge from Zak.
18
00:01:10,867 --> 00:01:12,800
Pretty sure this one
is gonna be scary.
19
00:01:12,867 --> 00:01:14,367
[lightning crackling]
20
00:01:15,567 --> 00:01:16,634
[music playing]
21
00:01:16,634 --> 00:01:19,100
[Zak] This season,
you've taken on witches,
22
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:23,500
voodoo priestesses,
and worst of all,
possessed dolls.
23
00:01:23,567 --> 00:01:25,667
Now you're about to face off
24
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:28,967
one last time
in your greatest
challenge, yet.
25
00:01:28,967 --> 00:01:30,000
So it's only fitting
that you be inspired
26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
So it's only fitting
that you be inspired
27
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:34,667
by what many believe
is the greatest city
in the world,
28
00:01:35,367 --> 00:01:36,266
Paris, France.
29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,467
Ooh!
30
00:01:38,467 --> 00:01:39,767
[bal musette music playing]
31
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:41,266
-[Shinmin Li] Whoa! Okay!
-[contestants laughing]
32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,400
[Aarti Sequeira] Wow!
33
00:01:50,567 --> 00:01:51,867
[lightning crackling]
34
00:01:51,867 --> 00:01:54,467
[Zak] The City of Light
has a darkness
35
00:01:54,467 --> 00:01:56,600
lurking beneath it.
36
00:01:56,667 --> 00:02:00,000
Miles upon miles of tunnels
filled with the remains
of 6,000,000 souls,
37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Miles upon miles of tunnels
filled with the remains
of 6,000,000 souls,
38
00:02:03,367 --> 00:02:05,367
The catacombs.
39
00:02:05,367 --> 00:02:10,266
Quite literally,
an underground empire
of skeletons.
40
00:02:10,266 --> 00:02:15,567
I can't think of a better
way to face your final
Halloween Wars challenge,
41
00:02:15,567 --> 00:02:22,100
than to be inspired by a place
where I was forced to face
my own mortality.
42
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,066
Now don't let
that same fate
happen to you.
43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,767
Paris, beautiful and haunted,
44
00:02:29,767 --> 00:02:30,000
and that's why
the winnin' team
will win an all-expense trip
45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
and that's why
the winnin' team
will win an all-expense trip
46
00:02:33,266 --> 00:02:35,467
of a lifetime
to the City of Lights.
47
00:02:36,266 --> 00:02:37,867
-Oh, my God!
-No way!
48
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:42,266
[Eddie] Now the catacombs
may be haunted, but in Paris,
they haunt in style.
49
00:02:42,266 --> 00:02:43,367
Mmm-hmm.
50
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:44,367
[Eddie] So your
final challenge,
51
00:02:44,367 --> 00:02:46,867
create a spectacular,
spooky fashion show
52
00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:50,266
featurin' monstrous models
on a haunted runway.
53
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:52,667
Now, as for flavors,
we want you to use
54
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:56,166
one of these famous
French pastries as your
inspiration in your cake,
55
00:02:56,166 --> 00:02:59,367
macaron, eclair,
or charlotte russe.
56
00:02:59,367 --> 00:03:00,000
You got seven hours.
57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,800
You got seven hours.
58
00:03:00,867 --> 00:03:01,000
Everything is on the line,
so get to work!
59
00:03:06,967 --> 00:03:09,600
{\an8}-I wanna go to Paris.
-Paris, Paris.
60
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:11,233
{\an8}Oh, my gosh!
61
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:13,100
{\an8}All right, but what kind
of monsters do we think
of when we think Paris?
62
00:03:13,166 --> 00:03:14,533
{\an8}-Sewer?
-Clowns.
63
00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:16,867
{\an8}-Big cities always do have
a lot of rat problems, right?
-Yes.
64
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:18,967
{\an8}-[Willie] All right,
like a big monster one.
-So we need a big rat!
65
00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:21,266
-With, like, radioactive
sludge underground.
-Oh, yeah.
66
00:03:21,266 --> 00:03:22,467
You wanna dress it up?
67
00:03:22,467 --> 00:03:23,367
-Yeah!
-Well, of course!
68
00:03:23,367 --> 00:03:25,266
-Sewer couture.
-Yes!
69
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:29,000
[Jamie] We're making
a mutant rat, who's
modelling in a fashion show.
70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
She'll be rotating on a runway
in front of rat spectators,
and mouse paparazzi.
71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
She'll be rotating on a runway
in front of rat spectators,
and mouse paparazzi.
72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,667
What choices were
we given? We've got eclair,
charlotte russe, macaron.
73
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:38,300
Kinda likin' the idea
of an eclair.
74
00:03:38,367 --> 00:03:39,767
-Yes.
-Okay.
75
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:41,400
-My favorite.
-Then maybe I can make,
like, little, tiny bits
76
00:03:41,467 --> 00:03:44,000
of shoe pastry, like,
rolled in chocolate,
to put it in there.
77
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Texture!
78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,300
[Jamie] We're gonna try
and make a hazelnut cake,
79
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:51,166
with layers of dark
chocolate ganache
and raspberry compote.
80
00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:53,100
It almost looks
like peanut butter.
81
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,400
It's the finale
so we are going
to be pushing ourselves
82
00:03:56,467 --> 00:03:58,100
harder than we've
ever pushed before.
83
00:03:58,166 --> 00:03:59,667
Done and done!
84
00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:00,000
{\an8}-Flavors? Suzanna, you went
to pastry school in France.
-Yes.
85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
{\an8}-Flavors? Suzanna, you went
to pastry school in France.
-Yes.
86
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:05,100
{\an8}-What are you thinking?
-Yes?
87
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,166
{\an8}-Yes?
-For me, like, the best
dessert, it's macaron.
88
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:10,867
{\an8}So runway, fashion week.
89
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:12,233
Win you think
of the catacombs,
90
00:04:12,233 --> 00:04:14,467
-like, what kind of...
could you see?
-I mean, it's all bones.
91
00:04:14,467 --> 00:04:15,600
-A skeleton model
-[Suzanna] Mmm-hmm, yes.
92
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:18,700
We need to give her, like,
a nice model pose, like...
93
00:04:18,767 --> 00:04:20,166
-Yeah, she should
be showing off.
-You know, like,
94
00:04:20,166 --> 00:04:22,467
-she's tipping a hat?
-Yeah!
95
00:04:22,467 --> 00:04:27,266
[Genera] We have
a skeleton that walks
the batacomb runway,
96
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:30,000
and she decides to summon
her bat friends to help
her accessorize her gown.
97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
and she decides to summon
her bat friends to help
her accessorize her gown.
98
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:36,100
What if we have
her on top
of the turntable
99
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,066
-so she's like turning
at the end of the runway?
-Oh, that'll be so nice.
100
00:04:39,066 --> 00:04:40,900
[Genera] This is the final,
101
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,200
like, there's just no time
to be playin' around,
like, we have to give our all.
102
00:04:44,266 --> 00:04:47,166
-You know, French
cakes are super rich.
-Yeah.
103
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:51,266
[Genera] Typically,
macarons are almond
flour and powdered sugar,
104
00:04:51,266 --> 00:04:53,500
so we wanted to go
with an almond cake,
105
00:04:53,567 --> 00:04:56,567
and layer that
with a dark
chocolate ganache,
106
00:04:56,567 --> 00:05:00,000
whipped cream,
fresh raspberries,
and a macaron shell.
107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,367
whipped cream,
fresh raspberries,
and a macaron shell.
108
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:01,000
Going to the oven.
109
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,567
-We are really left
with the top two teams.
-Mmm-hmm.
110
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:10,600
These are definitely
the teams that have been
bringing the best of the best
111
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:11,867
- every challenge.
-[Aarti] Yeah.
112
00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:14,200
I love that head to head,
mano a mano.
113
00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:17,467
I know, and Ghostly Gals
and Lollipop Lunatics
have a history.
114
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:20,100
They've been together
since the qualifying round.
115
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:21,066
-[Shinmin] Right!
-[Eddie] Oh, yeah!
116
00:05:21,066 --> 00:05:23,066
{\an8}-There was no
bad team today...
-Yeah.
117
00:05:23,066 --> 00:05:25,000
{\an8}[Shinmin] ... But we're
really happy
you guys are here.
118
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,767
{\an8}I mean, they're
really well matched.
119
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:28,300
{\an8}-[Eddie] So let's
talk about that, so...
-[Shinmin] Yeah.
120
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,000
{\an8}... Today's challenge
is all about, like,
a haunted runway.
121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
{\an8}... Today's challenge
is all about, like,
a haunted runway.
122
00:05:31,266 --> 00:05:33,367
-When I think
of a Paris fashion show...
-Yeah.
123
00:05:33,367 --> 00:05:36,000
... I think of bling, I think
of lots of glamour.
124
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,767
So what do we think
about flavors?
We got eclair, macaron.
125
00:05:38,767 --> 00:05:43,100
All three of those
are elegant, refined, crisp,
and then a creaminess...
126
00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:44,600
-Mmm-hmm.
-... Or almost like
a melt in your mouth...
127
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:45,767
-Yeah, yeah.
-... Texture.
128
00:05:45,767 --> 00:05:47,767
So it's not the flavors
that really get to me,
129
00:05:47,767 --> 00:05:50,367
-it's the texture, how do
you recreate that in a cake?
-[Eddie] Yeah.
130
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:52,900
{\an8}Can you believe we are
here in the finals?
131
00:05:52,967 --> 00:05:54,967
{\an8}-I know, we've come so far.
-[Suzanna] Yes.
132
00:05:54,967 --> 00:05:57,300
{\an8}Monique? Look at this pumpkin.
133
00:05:57,367 --> 00:05:59,467
{\an8}-Are you ready for this?
-[Monique] What are
'ya gonna do with all that?
134
00:06:00,367 --> 00:06:01,000
{\an8}-Ah!
-[Monique] Oh, my gosh!
135
00:06:02,367 --> 00:06:03,667
It's so pretty, look at this!
136
00:06:03,667 --> 00:06:06,166
-[Monique] Wow!
-[Willie] You can
fit inside of it.
137
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:08,667
-That pumpkin
is bigger than Willie.
-Carve that pumpkin.
138
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:10,867
-[Monique] You think I could
fit on the inside?
-I think you can.
139
00:06:12,667 --> 00:06:14,900
[Willie] Whoo! Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh!
140
00:06:15,867 --> 00:06:18,700
I need this for the,
uh, sewer part.
141
00:06:18,767 --> 00:06:21,000
{\an8}What if we, like, build stuff.
142
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,800
{\an8}This is a sewer,
so I want to create an arch,
143
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,867
{\an8}and then Bev's gonna
do, like, um, metal bars
made out of chocolate.
144
00:06:26,867 --> 00:06:28,533
{\an8}Nice.
145
00:06:31,567 --> 00:06:37,166
[Bev] I'm creating an isomalt
sludge puddle for under
the model on the runway.
146
00:06:37,166 --> 00:06:41,200
Different types of green,
'cause it's radioactive.
147
00:06:41,266 --> 00:06:47,166
I'm just mixing my colors
at the moment, so that we get
some radioactive shades.
148
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:49,166
So I'm goin'
for different textures,
149
00:06:49,166 --> 00:06:52,667
colors, and all sorts
of surprises bubblin' up.
150
00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:56,967
{\an8}[Genera] I'm just cutting out
a rough shape of a bat wing.
151
00:06:56,967 --> 00:06:59,867
{\an8}She calls upon the bats
to dress her up,
152
00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:00,000
{\an8}so the dress will be made
of the bat wings.
153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
{\an8}so the dress will be made
of the bat wings.
154
00:07:03,166 --> 00:07:06,367
{\an8}This mixture is like
a wafer paper conditioner.
155
00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:08,166
Uh, wafer paper
is very brittle,
156
00:07:08,166 --> 00:07:12,467
so applying
this conditioner keeps
the wafer paper flexible.
157
00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:15,066
I am applying
the wing armature.
158
00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:19,066
Uh, which is just forwire,
topping it with another wing,
159
00:07:19,066 --> 00:07:22,967
and then I will dust
a nice layer of cornstarch,
160
00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:25,400
and that just stops
it from being sticky,
161
00:07:25,467 --> 00:07:28,367
so they're ready when
we go to attach 'em.
162
00:07:28,367 --> 00:07:30,000
{\an8}-Bev, do you like eclairs?
-My favorite!
163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
{\an8}-Bev, do you like eclairs?
-My favorite!
164
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:35,567
{\an8}[Jamie] I love
eclairs, but trying
to base a cake
165
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:38,567
{\an8}off of all of the subtleties
of a French pastry,
166
00:07:38,567 --> 00:07:42,066
and the textures of a french
pastry, that's gonna be
really hard to translate.
167
00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:45,567
I've decided to go
with a hazelnut,
chocolate eclair.
168
00:07:45,567 --> 00:07:48,066
I'm really hoping to bring
that eclair flavor out
169
00:07:48,066 --> 00:07:49,867
with little bits
of pate a choux,
170
00:07:49,867 --> 00:07:52,567
baked off,
and rolled in chocolate,
to put into the cake.
171
00:07:52,567 --> 00:07:58,367
Pate a choux is a dough
that they use to create
eclairs and cream puffs,
172
00:07:58,367 --> 00:08:00,000
and in my piping bag
is my choux paste.
173
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
and in my piping bag
is my choux paste.
174
00:08:01,166 --> 00:08:04,767
As an eclair, you would
pipe a longer line,
175
00:08:04,767 --> 00:08:06,967
but I'm just using
this to make
176
00:08:06,967 --> 00:08:12,166
tiny, little crunchy,
choux-flavored balls,
to go into the cake.
177
00:08:12,166 --> 00:08:13,667
And now, I'm goin'
to the oven.
178
00:08:16,467 --> 00:08:19,300
{\an8}Oh, Suzanna, what are
you choosing to make
179
00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:20,800
{\an8}as your classic,
French dessert?
180
00:08:20,867 --> 00:08:21,767
{\an8}A macaron.
181
00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:23,300
{\an8}I'm thinking
with the dark ganache
182
00:08:23,367 --> 00:08:26,300
{\an8}-it will protect
it from getting soggy.
-[Shinmin] Yeah.
183
00:08:26,367 --> 00:08:28,600
{\an8}Um, if you get
the ganache
rich enough,
184
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:30,000
-that is going to preserve
that crunch of the macaron...
-Yeah.
185
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
-that is going to preserve
that crunch of the macaron...
-Yeah.
186
00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:33,800
... And it won't let
any of the moisture
of the cake penetrate.
187
00:08:33,867 --> 00:08:35,266
-That's what I'm
really worried about...
-[Shinmin laughing]
188
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:36,500
... The moisture of the cake.
189
00:08:36,567 --> 00:08:38,266
-All right, ladies, well...
-[Monique] Thank you!
190
00:08:38,266 --> 00:08:40,100
-[Bev] Thank you, so much!
-... Best of luck!
191
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:41,066
[all] Thank you.
192
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,000
[lightning crackling]
193
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:45,667
Not today, Satan.
194
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,166
Six hours!
195
00:08:48,667 --> 00:08:49,734
Wow.
196
00:08:49,734 --> 00:08:51,867
{\an8}So I just got
my choux balls
into the oven,
197
00:08:51,867 --> 00:08:54,667
{\an8}and so now I need to work
on making a ganache.
198
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:57,500
{\an8}Oven, oven, oven.
199
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,000
{\an8}Roasty, toasty choux balls!
200
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
{\an8}Roasty, toasty choux balls!
201
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:02,667
Do, do, boop, boop, ba, do.
202
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:05,700
I'm coating
my little choux balls
in chocolate.
203
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:10,066
So throwing it onto the cool
choux balls, and then
throwing it on the sheet pan
204
00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:14,166
will cause it to temper,
and they'll be all nice
and happy and delicious.
205
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:16,567
Done.
206
00:09:16,567 --> 00:09:20,066
{\an8}-[Suzanna chuckling]
What are you doing?
-I am currying skulls
207
00:09:20,066 --> 00:09:22,667
{\an8}for the catacombs,
check it out!
208
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:26,467
{\an8}I found pears, which are
perfect because they're
already that skull shape,
209
00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:29,800
and then when you let
them oxidize, they turn
a little bit brown.
210
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:30,000
So if you guys see, this
is kind of, like, the start
of one of the pears,
211
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
So if you guys see, this
is kind of, like, the start
of one of the pears,
212
00:09:33,266 --> 00:09:36,000
and then this
is how it's going
with the oxidation process.
213
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,066
So you can see,
it's already starting
to get brown
214
00:09:38,066 --> 00:09:40,000
which is great,
'cause it's gonna give
it an aged look,
215
00:09:40,066 --> 00:09:41,967
which is perfect
for the catacombs.
216
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:47,667
[Suzanna] We need two tails
to go in the cake, it's going
to be the center part.
217
00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:49,567
Now they need to dry.
218
00:09:49,567 --> 00:09:52,867
I've never put a macaron
inside of a cake.
219
00:09:52,867 --> 00:09:56,266
This is a challenge
for me because we need
to keep the texture.
220
00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:00,000
{\an8}I wanna do something
a little different,
221
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,900
{\an8}I wanna do something
a little different,
222
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:01,000
{\an8}so we're makin'
these sewer grates
using chocolate and skewers.
223
00:10:04,367 --> 00:10:06,266
{\an8}Come on, pour.
224
00:10:06,266 --> 00:10:09,867
{\an8}Willie, I'm about to put
on the sewer grate
vertical bars.
225
00:10:09,867 --> 00:10:11,066
[Willie] Oh, nice.
Those look good.
226
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:12,400
Yeah, they're made
out of chocolate
227
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:14,200
-with some reinforced skewers.
-[Willie] Nice!
228
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:16,100
So I got different sizes,
229
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,166
and actually
they just slip in.
230
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:20,066
-[Willie] Otherwise,
the color will be...
-[Bev] So this is falling.
231
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:24,500
So the pumpkin is falling
from... away from the board.
232
00:10:24,567 --> 00:10:26,567
-[gasping] Oh, no.
-[Willie] It's not good.
233
00:10:26,567 --> 00:10:30,000
[Bev] This is the finale,
and this pumpkin is the main
base of our runway.
234
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
[Bev] This is the finale,
and this pumpkin is the main
base of our runway.
235
00:10:31,467 --> 00:10:34,200
I'm starting to get worried
it's going to fall apart.
236
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:35,266
I can't put them on there.
237
00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:39,400
[lightning crackling]
238
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:43,600
{\an8}So the pumpkin is falling
from... away from the board,
239
00:10:43,667 --> 00:10:47,100
{\an8}so we need to shore
that up before I can get
these chocolate bits on.
240
00:10:47,166 --> 00:10:49,367
{\an8}There you go, do you need
some of this on it, too?
241
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:52,166
{\an8}-Sure! Will it work?
-Yeah. There you go.
242
00:10:52,166 --> 00:10:54,567
{\an8}-[Bev] Hmm.
-Did it work?
243
00:10:54,567 --> 00:10:56,500
{\an8}-There we go.
-[Willie] Yep!
244
00:10:56,567 --> 00:10:58,100
{\an8}It's workin' beautifully.
245
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,667
{\an8}[Genera] Yes. All right,
check these cakes out.
246
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:06,567
-Yeah, they're perfect. Yes.
-Perfect, okay, I'll
set 'em to cool.
247
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:06,886
So I'm just going
to the oven to see
if my macarons are ready.
248
00:11:06,886 --> 00:11:07,000
So I'm just going
to the oven to see
if my macarons are ready.
249
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:15,700
-Ooh! Look at those cakes!
-Oh, my God!
It's freakin' pretty!
250
00:11:15,767 --> 00:11:17,667
[Monique] Genera,
look how freakin'
perfect these are.
251
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:20,166
[Genera gasping] Ooh!
252
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:21,166
[Suzanna] Yummy.
253
00:11:21,166 --> 00:11:22,200
[lightning crackling]
254
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:24,166
-Oh, no. I don't like that.
-[Willie] Oh, no.
255
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:25,667
Five hours!
256
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:27,667
Wow, five hours.
257
00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:30,000
-[Genera] Five hours.
-Hustle, hustle, hustle, guys.
258
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,367
[Eddie] So listen,
I mean, the winnin' team
259
00:11:32,367 --> 00:11:36,266
will win an all-expense
paid trip of a lifetime,
to the City of Lights.
260
00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:36,886
Bein' that this is the, uh,
last challenge, are we gonna
critique a little bit harder?
261
00:11:36,886 --> 00:11:37,000
Bein' that this is the, uh,
last challenge, are we gonna
critique a little bit harder?
262
00:11:41,066 --> 00:11:42,500
-I mean, we're gonna have to.
-[Shinmin] Hmm...
263
00:11:42,567 --> 00:11:45,100
I think especially
because these teams
are just that good.
264
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,266
{\an8}All right, guys, we really
have to do this.
265
00:11:47,266 --> 00:11:49,567
{\an8}-We gotta do this!
-We gotta win it!
266
00:11:49,567 --> 00:11:52,767
{\an8}-Willie? You made
it to the final.
-[Willie] Hello.
267
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:54,667
{\an8}-We're very excited
to be here.
-[Aarti] Yeah?
268
00:11:54,667 --> 00:11:57,100
{\an8}-All right, Jamie, talk
to me about the flavors...
-Yeah.
269
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:58,700
... Of your cake,
which dessert
did you choose?
270
00:11:58,767 --> 00:12:01,100
-So we've gone
with eclair.
-[Aarti] Okay.
271
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,867
And your basic eclair
is really simple,
272
00:12:03,867 --> 00:12:06,300
-just vanilla, and chocolate
and choux pastry.
-Yeah.
273
00:12:06,367 --> 00:12:06,886
And so we're
doing a hazelnut,
chocolate eclair...
274
00:12:06,886 --> 00:12:07,000
And so we're
doing a hazelnut,
chocolate eclair...
275
00:12:09,367 --> 00:12:11,967
-Okay.
-... With a little hit
of raspberry in it.
276
00:12:11,967 --> 00:12:16,567
Okay, why was it important
to you to add the hazelnut
and the raspberry here?
277
00:12:16,567 --> 00:12:20,066
I think that the hazelnut
is gonna make it just
a more interesting flavor
278
00:12:20,066 --> 00:12:21,266
than just chocolate
and vanilla.
279
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:22,900
We are going
a little... a little crazy,
280
00:12:22,967 --> 00:12:25,300
we are adding some
different elements this time.
281
00:12:25,367 --> 00:12:30,100
Your whole cake
looks a little smaller
than you did last time,
282
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,266
and that's not a bad thing.
283
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:32,567
[Jamie] Oh, yeah!
284
00:12:32,567 --> 00:12:34,000
-[Aarti] All right,
I'll see you later.
-[Willie] Yeah.
285
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,467
[softly] I'm a little nervous
286
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:36,886
about the addition
of the hazelnut
and the raspberry
287
00:12:36,886 --> 00:12:37,000
about the addition
of the hazelnut
and the raspberry
288
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:41,367
to the eclair flavors,
but she's so confident,
289
00:12:41,367 --> 00:12:44,266
and she makes
great cakes, so let's see.
290
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:49,667
{\an8}[Genera] So right now,
I'm molding the shoe
that she will be wearing.
291
00:12:51,767 --> 00:12:56,500
{\an8}And then I'll make
some extras that will be
on the side of her vanity.
292
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:59,867
So basically, you pour
the chocolate, let it sit,
293
00:12:59,867 --> 00:13:02,467
and then you separate
it to reveal the shoe.
294
00:13:02,467 --> 00:13:04,767
Let's get this baby
in the freezer.
295
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:12,667
[Willie] I'm actually doin'
a paparazzi camera.
296
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:17,500
So we're gonna put
fillings made out
of butternut squash,
297
00:13:17,567 --> 00:13:21,000
and then we're gonna
have a flashing device
inside of it.
298
00:13:21,066 --> 00:13:25,467
All right, you ready?
You're gonna aim,
you're gonna hmm, hmm, hmm.
299
00:13:25,467 --> 00:13:26,900
-[Willie] Nice!
-[Jamie] Yeah!
300
00:13:28,867 --> 00:13:31,800
-Those are nice legs.
-[Jamie] I know.
301
00:13:31,867 --> 00:13:33,667
I'm now going to the oven.
302
00:13:33,667 --> 00:13:36,886
Takin' you out. I am done
with these ovens!
Bye, guys, see you around!
303
00:13:36,886 --> 00:13:37,000
Takin' you out. I am done
with these ovens!
Bye, guys, see you around!
304
00:13:39,567 --> 00:13:42,000
{\an8}I'm giving the cake
a perfume dust.
305
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,367
{\an8}Ooh, it smells so good.
It smells like that rosewater.
306
00:13:45,367 --> 00:13:49,567
{\an8}So I was spraying
it with a rosewater
simple syrup.
307
00:13:49,567 --> 00:13:53,200
I use that to, um,
[sniffling] kinda give it a...
308
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:58,266
a more essence
of the French, you know,
give it more fragrance.
309
00:13:58,266 --> 00:14:01,266
Our cake has a layer
of the almond cake,
310
00:14:01,266 --> 00:14:03,100
then we have
a layer of ganache,
311
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:06,400
a macaron shell
covered in another
layer of ganache,
312
00:14:06,467 --> 00:14:06,886
and then a layer
of whipped cream
with fresh raspberries.
313
00:14:06,886 --> 00:14:07,000
and then a layer
of whipped cream
with fresh raspberries.
314
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:14,867
We're super nervous, I've
never put a macaron in a cake.
315
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:16,700
[Monique] It's gonna crack
anyway, once you cut into it.
316
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:18,567
[Genera] We're
hoping that layering it
317
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:22,667
with the dark
chocolate ganache will
kinda seal in that texture,
318
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:24,900
But we don't know
how this is gonna go.
319
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:30,567
So right now, I'm tryin'
a sculpt her bodice, um,
320
00:14:30,567 --> 00:14:34,700
so it's basically, like,
this part of your...
well, your torso.
321
00:14:34,767 --> 00:14:36,886
Uh, we wanna give
her kinda like a skinny waist,
322
00:14:36,886 --> 00:14:37,000
Uh, we wanna give
her kinda like a skinny waist,
323
00:14:37,367 --> 00:14:40,600
and then it's gonna
blow out into, like,
the ball gown style.
324
00:14:40,667 --> 00:14:41,867
[Monique] Oh, no.
325
00:14:41,867 --> 00:14:44,500
Four hours left, you guys!
326
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:46,500
{\an8}[Jamie] Smoothing out
my hazelnut pastry cream,
327
00:14:46,567 --> 00:14:50,900
{\an8}before I fold whipped cream
into it to make my hazelnut
cream layer in my cake.
328
00:14:50,967 --> 00:14:54,200
{\an8}This is just like the filling
that would go into an eclair.
329
00:14:54,266 --> 00:14:56,900
{\an8}[singing] Gonna need
some raspberries.
330
00:14:56,967 --> 00:15:01,166
Raspberry and chocolate,
and hazelnut, they're
all just classic combinations.
331
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:04,400
Like, putting all three
a those together, I think
it's the ultimate bite,
332
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:06,100
that's what I'm
always goin' for.
333
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:06,886
And now,
we do hazelnut brittle.
334
00:15:06,886 --> 00:15:07,000
And now,
we do hazelnut brittle.
335
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:16,100
Now this is my hazelnut cream,
336
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:20,467
and next I'm gonna sprinkle
this with all of my little
pate a choux bits.
337
00:15:20,467 --> 00:15:24,600
My next layer is ganache,
and so a little
bit a raspberry,
338
00:15:24,667 --> 00:15:27,266
and now we do
hazelnut brittle.
339
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:32,266
Both of these cakes are
taking really big risks here
in the finale with texture.
340
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:34,400
-[Shinmin] Mmm-hmm.
-[Aarti] We've got
actual choux pastry
341
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:36,033
in the eclair cake.
342
00:15:36,033 --> 00:15:36,886
-[Shinmin] Yep.
- We've got real macarons
in the macaron cake.
343
00:15:36,886 --> 00:15:37,000
-[Shinmin] Yep.
- We've got real macarons
in the macaron cake.
344
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:43,600
Both of these classic,
French techniques are very
susceptible to moisture,
345
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:46,500
so it's anyone's guess
how these are gonna turn out.
346
00:15:46,567 --> 00:15:47,467
[lightning crackling]
347
00:15:49,667 --> 00:15:51,367
-It's happening again.
-[Bev] Oh, no.
348
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:53,967
-More lightning, all
the lightning, all the time.
-[Bev] No.
349
00:15:53,967 --> 00:15:55,667
[Monique] That means
a twist is coming.
350
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:57,367
[Genera] What's
it gonna be this time?
351
00:15:57,367 --> 00:15:57,800
Oh, no.
352
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:01,300
[Witch cackling]
353
00:16:05,166 --> 00:16:07,100
Oh, no, I don't like that.
354
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:10,166
[Monique] I think that
means a twist is coming.
355
00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:13,467
[Zak] The catacombs of Paris
were created in an effort
356
00:16:13,467 --> 00:16:16,500
to eliminate the city's
overflowing cemeteries.
357
00:16:16,567 --> 00:16:22,166
Centuries worth
of eternal resting places
disturbed all at once.
358
00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:26,667
Walking down these
eerie passageways
is a good reminder
359
00:16:27,266 --> 00:16:28,874
never to lose your head.
360
00:16:28,874 --> 00:16:29,000
never to lose your head.
361
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:32,166
Especially when you're
so close to the end.
362
00:16:32,166 --> 00:16:37,867
Eddie, one last time,
my friend, tell them
about their final twist.
363
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:40,800
No, Eddie, it's okay,
you don't have to.
364
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:44,900
Best way not
to lose one's head,
put a lid on it!
365
00:16:44,967 --> 00:16:46,200
[Suzanna] What?
366
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,600
[Eddie] We want you to create
an edible hat, or fascinator
367
00:16:48,667 --> 00:16:51,066
for you and your
teammates to wear.
368
00:16:51,066 --> 00:16:54,166
And remember,
it's all about high fashion,
369
00:16:54,166 --> 00:16:58,166
and high Halloween,
if you wanna stay
in vogue around here.
370
00:16:58,166 --> 00:16:58,874
So put your thinking caps on.
371
00:16:58,874 --> 00:16:59,000
So put your thinking caps on.
372
00:17:00,567 --> 00:17:02,066
Modeled by us?
373
00:17:02,066 --> 00:17:03,667
It's for us to wear.
374
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:05,800
At the end of the challenge,
we all have to be wearing one.
375
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:07,367
{\an8}So what kind
of ideas do we have?
376
00:17:07,367 --> 00:17:11,166
{\an8}Uh, I think a headband
with a fantasy flower on it,
377
00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:13,367
{\an8}with a... an eyeball
in the center.
378
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:15,667
{\an8}[Jamie] Do flowers fit
with our rat though?
379
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,400
{\an8}I guess we could put
a couple flowers on him.
380
00:17:17,467 --> 00:17:19,266
What if they're
all pink flowers?
381
00:17:19,266 --> 00:17:21,800
I'm gonna pull
a sugar flower
with some eyeballs.
382
00:17:21,867 --> 00:17:24,667
[Jamie] Bev tries to make sure
that this flower looks creepy
383
00:17:24,667 --> 00:17:27,667
by putting a little isomalt
eyeball into the middle of it.
384
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:28,874
[Bev] Eyeballs?
Who's got the eyeballs?
385
00:17:28,874 --> 00:17:29,000
[Bev] Eyeballs?
Who's got the eyeballs?
386
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:32,266
How 'bout that?
387
00:17:32,266 --> 00:17:37,667
I am making fascinators
with wafer paper.
388
00:17:37,667 --> 00:17:41,900
This is the finale, we need
to make sure that
this twist looks on point.
389
00:17:41,967 --> 00:17:44,800
Tryin' to make some leaves
for our flowers.
390
00:17:44,867 --> 00:17:49,000
Ooh, that's a pukey green,
but it matches
our sludge though.
391
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,166
We're going to attach
these with piping gel.
392
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:54,900
Eyeballs going in the middle.
393
00:17:54,967 --> 00:17:57,467
So now the three of us
will match our fashion mama.
394
00:17:57,467 --> 00:17:58,874
[Willie] I'm doin' what?
395
00:17:58,874 --> 00:17:58,967
[Willie] I'm doin' what?
396
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,433
-[Bev] Dude, you're wearin'
a flower on your hair...
-[Willie laughing]
397
00:18:00,433 --> 00:18:02,467
-... Or I don't wanna
he... hear it.
-He's gonna look so nice.
398
00:18:02,467 --> 00:18:03,967
{\an8}[Monique] Okay, what
you guys think?
399
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,266
{\an8}So what's edible that
we can, like, do quickly,
and make it look good?
400
00:18:07,266 --> 00:18:08,967
{\an8}It has to go
with the theme, right?
401
00:18:08,967 --> 00:18:10,900
{\an8}So what if we put, like,
a little sugar skull in there?
402
00:18:10,967 --> 00:18:12,700
{\an8}And then you can
make those flowers,
403
00:18:12,767 --> 00:18:15,266
-'cause then it'll go
with our entire theme.
-Uh-huh.
404
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:17,567
So I'll cut these off,
we put them on the thing.
405
00:18:17,567 --> 00:18:19,367
-So it'll be like
what mine is right now.
-[Suzanna] Mmm-hmm.
406
00:18:19,367 --> 00:18:20,900
-[Genera] Uh-huh.
-[Suzanna] And then the skull.
407
00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:22,400
[Monique] And then you can
put the skull head, you can
mold it onto this.
408
00:18:22,467 --> 00:18:23,767
-[Suzanna] Uh-huh.
-You can put
the chocolate on it.
409
00:18:23,767 --> 00:18:25,600
That'll be so cute, okay.
410
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:28,367
This is a fun twist
to end everything on, right?
411
00:18:28,367 --> 00:18:28,874
A fascinator!
412
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:29,000
A fascinator!
413
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:31,266
It's topping it all off!
414
00:18:31,266 --> 00:18:32,634
[Eddie] Ooh!
415
00:18:32,634 --> 00:18:35,000
-[Aarti] I mean, this is
a twist worthy of the finale.
-Yep!
416
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,867
Not only do they have
to construct
a fascinator, or a hat,
417
00:18:38,867 --> 00:18:40,367
so they have to be
creative about it,
418
00:18:40,367 --> 00:18:43,700
but it's got to be sturdy
enough to actually be worn.
419
00:18:43,767 --> 00:18:45,567
So I think the trick
is to really make this
420
00:18:45,567 --> 00:18:47,467
all look like it's part
of a collection.
421
00:18:47,467 --> 00:18:49,400
-Mmm-hmm.
-That not only will work
with their cake,
422
00:18:49,467 --> 00:18:51,800
but also with each
other's fascinators.
423
00:18:51,867 --> 00:18:54,367
-Maybe it's using
the same color?
-Mmm-hmm.
424
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:56,667
-Since the... the mediums
are gonna be so different.
-Yeah.
425
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:58,333
{\an8}I have the headbands
we're gonna use,
426
00:18:58,333 --> 00:18:58,874
{\an8}I'm just gonna cover
it with that lace fondant that
you used for her bust, okay?
427
00:18:58,874 --> 00:18:59,000
{\an8}I'm just gonna cover
it with that lace fondant that
you used for her bust, okay?
428
00:19:01,567 --> 00:19:04,066
{\an8}-[Genera] Oh! Nice.
-[Monique] So it'll
all kind of tie in together.
429
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:07,867
{\an8}Okay, so I'm using
the top of the pumpkin
for our headbands.
430
00:19:07,867 --> 00:19:09,600
Just a little bit
different lighting.
431
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:13,800
And you know it's the twist
for the final, so it has
to be, like, super nice.
432
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:17,367
So with the white
chocolate, I have skulls.
433
00:19:17,367 --> 00:19:21,567
[Genera] We molded
some chocolate skulls
to go with our skeleton theme,
434
00:19:21,567 --> 00:19:24,600
and then there was
a sugar flower
that Suzanna made.
435
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:27,567
[Suzanna] I'm just
adding a little bit
of gold to the skulls,
436
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:28,874
because these are going
to be on a headpiece, so they
have to be, like, very fancy.
437
00:19:28,874 --> 00:19:29,000
because these are going
to be on a headpiece, so they
have to be, like, very fancy.
438
00:19:31,867 --> 00:19:35,100
[Genera] Every
challenge, we've been
killing these twists,
439
00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:40,066
so we wanna push even harder
for the finale, so we have
to make this one count.
440
00:19:40,066 --> 00:19:41,867
-[Suzanna] Like this?
-[Genera] Yes.
441
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:43,567
[Willie] Hmm, what's goin' on?
442
00:19:44,767 --> 00:19:46,100
Three hours!
443
00:19:46,867 --> 00:19:49,000
Crunch freakin' time.
444
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:54,000
{\an8}[Jamie] Willie wants
to make fancy boots
out of pumpkin.
445
00:19:54,066 --> 00:19:55,767
{\an8}Willie, how are the shoes
comin' along?
446
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:58,874
{\an8}[Willie] It's gettin' there,
with this one I forgot
the size that I need.
447
00:19:58,874 --> 00:19:59,000
{\an8}[Willie] It's gettin' there,
with this one I forgot
the size that I need.
448
00:19:59,467 --> 00:20:02,867
{\an8}Now that I have the shape
that I want, the second one
should be a little bit faster.
449
00:20:02,867 --> 00:20:06,000
[joking] I wish I didn't
"need" to do this.
450
00:20:08,867 --> 00:20:12,000
This is just the rat body,
the clothing is gonna go
on next,
451
00:20:12,066 --> 00:20:14,600
but she's gonna have
bare shoulders,
452
00:20:14,667 --> 00:20:18,066
so I just gotta cover
that part with rat color.
453
00:20:24,867 --> 00:20:27,567
I just put a zipper
on the back
because it's clothing.
454
00:20:30,367 --> 00:20:33,567
Everybody loves a model
with long legs.
455
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Rat face.
456
00:20:36,066 --> 00:20:38,367
So I need it to be
kind of oblong.
457
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:40,667
A little bit pointed
down near the nose.
458
00:20:40,667 --> 00:20:42,667
And this mutant is gonna
have three eyeballs
459
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:45,667
because sometimes
when you step
in radioactive sludge,
460
00:20:45,667 --> 00:20:47,300
you grow another eyeball.
461
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,667
Fun thing about making
mutants is you can do whatever
the heck you want with it.
462
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:51,767
Let's attach it.
463
00:20:52,367 --> 00:20:55,867
Aw, she looks so nice now.
464
00:20:55,867 --> 00:20:58,874
{\an8}Now I need to do bones,
to also go into the runway,
465
00:20:58,874 --> 00:20:59,000
{\an8}Now I need to do bones,
to also go into the runway,
466
00:21:00,266 --> 00:21:02,100
out of white sweet potatoes.
467
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:05,266
So it already has
that kind of blanched
bone look.
468
00:21:05,266 --> 00:21:08,867
And I'm just sheeping it
and it's gonna go kind of
underneath the skulls.
469
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:11,567
So many bones, so little time.
470
00:21:11,567 --> 00:21:14,066
[Genera] I can start
covering the skirt.
471
00:21:14,066 --> 00:21:17,600
[groans] I just got
that feeling in my tummy
where you're like,
472
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:19,166
"Oh, this is not
gonna end well."
473
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:23,200
They have a huge,
pretty impressive character,
but it's on the ground.
474
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:24,767
And we've got less
than an hour to go.
475
00:21:24,767 --> 00:21:27,367
It's still not
on their kick base.
476
00:21:27,367 --> 00:21:28,874
And then you look
across over here
at Lollipop Lunatics,
477
00:21:28,874 --> 00:21:29,000
And then you look
across over here
at Lollipop Lunatics,
478
00:21:30,567 --> 00:21:33,467
-they have a pretty full
landscape there.
-[Shinmin] Yeah.
479
00:21:33,467 --> 00:21:36,000
I literally want to go
over there and pick
that lady up
480
00:21:36,066 --> 00:21:37,700
and put her right on there
right now.
481
00:21:37,767 --> 00:21:40,200
Um, so I'm using
a modeling chocolate
482
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:44,367
to sculpt her bones
because it sets super firm.
483
00:21:44,367 --> 00:21:45,900
Okay, her leg is ready.
484
00:21:45,967 --> 00:21:47,400
We have so much to do.
485
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:49,000
We have to move the model.
486
00:21:49,066 --> 00:21:52,600
We have to add shoes,
purse, hat, everything.
487
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:54,867
I feel like
we're still behind.
488
00:21:54,867 --> 00:21:56,266
Like are we gonna finish?
489
00:21:56,266 --> 00:21:58,874
-[Aarti] Hello, Ghosty Gals.
-Hi.
490
00:21:58,874 --> 00:21:59,000
-[Aarti] Hello, Ghosty Gals.
-Hi.
491
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,667
Um, ladies, I hate
to point this out
492
00:22:02,667 --> 00:22:06,300
because I can see
your fellow competitors
over there
493
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:08,767
and their cake looks
awfully full.
494
00:22:08,767 --> 00:22:10,200
And yours looks a little
495
00:22:10,967 --> 00:22:12,266
-minimal.
-Yeah.
496
00:22:12,266 --> 00:22:14,867
So we need to finish
the skeleton body
497
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,500
in order to put it on.
498
00:22:16,567 --> 00:22:17,900
She looks heavy.
499
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:21,166
Do you feel confident
that your structure
can handle her?
500
00:22:21,166 --> 00:22:22,467
-Yes. Yes.
-Okay.
501
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,500
Okay, I'm gonna see you later.
502
00:22:24,567 --> 00:22:26,033
-All right.
-Thank you.
503
00:22:27,367 --> 00:22:28,874
I am really, really worried
that they're not gonna get
this finished
504
00:22:28,874 --> 00:22:29,000
I am really, really worried
that they're not gonna get
this finished
505
00:22:32,066 --> 00:22:33,300
the way they want to,
506
00:22:33,367 --> 00:22:35,467
the way a finale deserves,
on time.
507
00:22:37,266 --> 00:22:41,100
{\an8}So, right here,
I am making gelatin
508
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:45,967
to make decorations
on our model's outfit.
509
00:22:45,967 --> 00:22:47,600
So these are acetate sheets.
510
00:22:47,667 --> 00:22:50,300
And I'm trying to shape them
into ruffles.
511
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:53,667
I need to melt down
a lot of gelatin
512
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:57,000
and then I'm gonna pour it
over the top of it and when
I pour it over the top,
513
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,367
it'll just leave
like a thin coat
514
00:22:58,367 --> 00:22:58,874
and I'll be able to peel
them off and put them
onto my piece.
515
00:22:58,874 --> 00:22:59,000
and I'll be able to peel
them off and put them
onto my piece.
516
00:23:00,767 --> 00:23:04,900
Cool thing about these gelatin
ruffles is they're gonna
stand up like 10 inches
517
00:23:04,967 --> 00:23:06,600
off of her shoulder.
518
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,300
So I gotta get 'em in front
of a fan to dry as quickly
as possible.
519
00:23:10,367 --> 00:23:13,867
If they don't set,
they're just gonna
be these joogly messes.
520
00:23:13,867 --> 00:23:15,100
Okay.
521
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:16,066
-[lightning rumbles]
-[shudders]
522
00:23:16,066 --> 00:23:17,500
More lightning.
523
00:23:18,467 --> 00:23:20,066
Two hours.
524
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,667
Uh...
525
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:23,100
{\an8}[Monique] Is the head ready?
526
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,333
{\an8}[Genera] Yay.
527
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:28,467
So the head came
out perfectly.
It didn't crack.
528
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,900
So now, just gotta glue
the two halves together.
529
00:23:35,767 --> 00:23:38,266
So she's ready
to get up on stage.
530
00:23:38,266 --> 00:23:41,066
Uh, if you wanna grab
the turntable and then
I'll set it up.
531
00:23:41,066 --> 00:23:42,467
All right,
so our turntable's on.
532
00:23:42,467 --> 00:23:44,200
She's gonna sit on top of it
533
00:23:44,266 --> 00:23:46,100
and then rotate so it looks
like she's spinning
534
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,367
on the edge of her catwalk.
535
00:23:48,367 --> 00:23:51,166
-So we need all three
of us to bring her on.
-[Genera.] Yes.
536
00:23:52,166 --> 00:23:53,467
-[Aarti] They're moving it.
-[Shinmin] Oh.
537
00:23:53,467 --> 00:23:54,600
-Oh, my gosh.
-It is huge.
538
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:55,800
[Aarti] It's so big.
539
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:58,767
-[Suzanna] Step, up, up.
-[Monique] Careful. Careful.
540
00:23:58,767 --> 00:23:58,874
[Genera] Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
541
00:23:58,874 --> 00:23:59,000
[Genera] Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
542
00:24:00,266 --> 00:24:01,667
[judges exclaim]
543
00:24:01,667 --> 00:24:03,100
[both] Oh, my gosh.
544
00:24:03,166 --> 00:24:04,734
[Genera] I'm scared.
545
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:07,467
We have to make sure
she's centered perfectly
on the turntable
546
00:24:07,467 --> 00:24:11,166
because if she's like too far
to one side, she might tip.
547
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:12,900
-[Suzanna] Okay.
-Oh, my gosh.
548
00:24:12,967 --> 00:24:13,767
Look how she's wobbling.
Oh, my gosh.
549
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,467
{\an8}[Genera] Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
550
00:24:20,467 --> 00:24:21,667
[Aarti] Oh, my gosh.
551
00:24:21,667 --> 00:24:22,700
[Genera] I'm scared.
552
00:24:25,967 --> 00:24:27,300
-Is she on?
-[Suzanna] Yeah.
553
00:24:27,367 --> 00:24:28,800
[Genera] Right there.
554
00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:30,300
[Monique] She's cool looking.
555
00:24:30,367 --> 00:24:34,367
Oh, it's got that bony leg
sticking out, like a split
in the skirt.
556
00:24:34,367 --> 00:24:36,100
[Monique] I gotta turn it on
to make sure it works, guys.
557
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,100
-She is rotating.
-Wow.
558
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,400
Yay, it works.
559
00:24:43,467 --> 00:24:44,767
Ain't no bad seat
in the house.
560
00:24:44,767 --> 00:24:45,537
[all laughing]
561
00:24:45,537 --> 00:24:46,000
[all laughing]
562
00:24:46,767 --> 00:24:48,467
One hour left.
563
00:24:48,467 --> 00:24:50,767
{\an8}-Just stop.
-I need to speed up.
564
00:24:50,767 --> 00:24:52,967
Willie, you're the fastest
carver in the west.
565
00:24:54,567 --> 00:24:57,867
Willie makes a whole rat
audience out of sweet potatoes
566
00:24:57,867 --> 00:25:00,900
but leaves the little root
on there to act
like their tail
567
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:05,467
and he makes tiny, little mice
photographers and they look
so cute.
568
00:25:05,467 --> 00:25:07,467
When I think of fashion shows,
569
00:25:07,467 --> 00:25:08,767
I don't just think
of the models,
570
00:25:08,767 --> 00:25:10,967
-I think of the people
watching, right?
-Yeah.
571
00:25:10,967 --> 00:25:15,537
I love that Lollipop Lunatics
included an audience of rats.
572
00:25:15,537 --> 00:25:15,900
I love that Lollipop Lunatics
included an audience of rats.
573
00:25:15,967 --> 00:25:16,000
It was just like, "Oh, there's
rats in the crowd."
574
00:25:18,367 --> 00:25:19,567
And we're like,
"That's so thoughtful."
575
00:25:19,567 --> 00:25:21,100
[all laughing]
576
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,867
{\an8}[Genera] Suzanna,
can I get the shoe?
577
00:25:23,867 --> 00:25:26,467
[Suzanna] Look, Genera,
it turned out super pretty,
the shoe.
578
00:25:26,467 --> 00:25:28,266
-[Genera] Oh, perfect.
-[Monique] Oh, that's awesome.
579
00:25:28,266 --> 00:25:29,567
[Genera] I'll put
the shoe on her.
580
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:33,967
It's not holding. Seems like
it's gonna fall off.
581
00:25:33,967 --> 00:25:37,000
I'm gonna dip her foot
in chocolate.
582
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,867
-Okay.
-[Suzanna] Ready?
583
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,834
[Genera] So her foot is on.
584
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:45,537
So it's just basically
chocolate holding chocolate
to keep the shoe on.
585
00:25:45,537 --> 00:25:46,000
So it's just basically
chocolate holding chocolate
to keep the shoe on.
586
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,367
{\an8}[Jamie] Willie has helped me
attach a wire frame
around her waist
587
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:57,567
so that we can have a skirt
that floats a little bit away
from her body.
588
00:25:57,567 --> 00:26:01,467
I want this skirt to look
smooth and flowing
like fabric.
589
00:26:01,467 --> 00:26:06,667
So as I place it, I'm going
to gently put pleats into it
all the way around our rat.
590
00:26:06,667 --> 00:26:09,266
I think it looks nice.
It looks like fabric.
591
00:26:09,266 --> 00:26:12,266
Any mutant rat would love
to wear this outfit.
592
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:15,537
I'm trying to put in as many
details as possible,
593
00:26:15,537 --> 00:26:15,767
I'm trying to put in as many
details as possible,
594
00:26:15,767 --> 00:26:16,000
so we're hoping that all
of that ingenuity and insanity
595
00:26:21,066 --> 00:26:24,367
is gonna help us
through judging.
596
00:26:24,367 --> 00:26:26,867
[Bev] For now, I'm focusing
on the nails.
597
00:26:26,867 --> 00:26:31,166
I have to get those up there
because she cannot not
have nails.
598
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:32,500
That's gonna be obvious.
599
00:26:32,567 --> 00:26:34,767
I have to cover the wire.
600
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:36,300
It's all right.
601
00:26:37,367 --> 00:26:40,100
The red nails
are holding up well.
602
00:26:40,166 --> 00:26:43,800
-[Jamie] Freaky mutant
rat nails.
-Yeah.
603
00:26:43,867 --> 00:26:45,537
{\an8}The bat wings needs
to go on like right now.
604
00:26:45,537 --> 00:26:46,000
{\an8}The bat wings needs
to go on like right now.
605
00:26:46,166 --> 00:26:49,166
[Genera] T he bat wings easily
push into the skirt.
606
00:26:49,166 --> 00:26:51,200
Getting all the details
in there,
607
00:26:51,266 --> 00:26:52,767
that's the most
important part.
608
00:26:52,767 --> 00:26:55,400
Like, you know, the judges
are always commenting
609
00:26:55,467 --> 00:27:00,266
our details are always
on point, so we gotta make
sure we give it to them.
610
00:27:00,266 --> 00:27:07,100
So I'm adding the chocolate
ruffle to make it look like
more like a fashion statement.
611
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:09,600
I really love the volume
of that skirt.
612
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:11,867
-Yeah.
-I mean, I wanna wear
that skirt.
613
00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:14,100
-I do, too. I do, too.
-Right?
614
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,537
[Shinmin] And you know
when you watch
615
00:27:15,537 --> 00:27:15,700
[Shinmin] And you know
when you watch
616
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:16,000
a fashion show, they always
leave that big, big, dramatic
wow moment dress
617
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:20,667
-for the end?
-Yeah.
618
00:27:20,667 --> 00:27:22,066
-This looks like the dress.
-Yes.
619
00:27:22,066 --> 00:27:25,100
{\an8}I can actually hear all
of my gelatin separating
620
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,900
from my acetate sheets
right now,
621
00:27:26,967 --> 00:27:30,100
which means that
they are pretty close
to being good.
622
00:27:30,166 --> 00:27:31,900
Because it is later
in the competition,
623
00:27:31,967 --> 00:27:34,100
I only have one chance
to get these ruffles right.
624
00:27:34,166 --> 00:27:35,867
If she doesn't
have these ruffles,
625
00:27:35,867 --> 00:27:39,567
she's not gonna be
that fancy sewer fashionista
that we're looking for.
626
00:27:39,567 --> 00:27:40,600
[chuckles]
627
00:27:40,667 --> 00:27:42,767
My gelatin works.
628
00:27:42,767 --> 00:27:45,537
What's really cool
is this gelatin has a memory
of the shape that it was in,
629
00:27:45,537 --> 00:27:46,000
What's really cool
is this gelatin has a memory
of the shape that it was in,
630
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:51,967
so I just have to gently
put it back into its fan shape
and we're all done.
631
00:27:51,967 --> 00:27:56,667
And now I'm gonna take
these things and put 'em up
on her shoulders.
632
00:27:56,667 --> 00:27:58,600
Yep.
633
00:27:58,667 --> 00:28:00,266
So I'm thinking that
they look pretty cool.
634
00:28:00,266 --> 00:28:03,000
I love the texture
that they've got going on
in the shoulders.
635
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,367
It's got that, like,
almost '80s...
636
00:28:05,367 --> 00:28:08,166
-I was gonna say like '80s
shoulder pads.
-Yeah, but revisited.
637
00:28:08,166 --> 00:28:09,567
Very Cyndi Lauper.
638
00:28:09,567 --> 00:28:10,967
-Mmm-hmm.
-Yeah.
639
00:28:12,767 --> 00:28:13,867
[Eddie] Oh, I see some lights.
640
00:28:13,867 --> 00:28:15,537
-Oh. Flashing cameras.
-Oh.
641
00:28:15,537 --> 00:28:16,000
-Oh. Flashing cameras.
-Oh.
642
00:28:16,367 --> 00:28:19,400
-Paparazzi.
-That's a nice touch.
643
00:28:19,467 --> 00:28:25,400
So I'm adding a lot of depth
and color with airbrush paint
as best as I can.
644
00:28:25,467 --> 00:28:27,600
And makeup.
645
00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:31,600
Ten minutes, teams.
Come on, let's rush.
Let's go, let's go.
646
00:28:31,667 --> 00:28:33,600
{\an8}-Are the bat wings done?
-[Genera] Yes.
647
00:28:33,667 --> 00:28:37,600
-I need to get her head on,
so I can do the other hand.
-[Suzanna] Yes.
648
00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:40,400
[Genera] And then,
I have to mold her other arm
649
00:28:40,467 --> 00:28:42,467
to make it look like
it's holding the head.
650
00:28:44,467 --> 00:28:45,537
Oh, so her arm does not
want to stay on the hat.
651
00:28:45,537 --> 00:28:46,000
Oh, so her arm does not
want to stay on the hat.
652
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:48,800
[Monique] Just leave it.
653
00:28:48,867 --> 00:28:50,567
It doesn't have
to be holding her hat.
654
00:28:50,567 --> 00:28:52,567
It just can be,
like, next to it.
655
00:28:52,567 --> 00:28:54,700
[Genera] Oh, no.
I need to get that right.
656
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:56,166
She has to show motion.
657
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:57,900
Like, why now?
This is the finale.
658
00:28:57,967 --> 00:29:00,700
Like, I'm not gonna stop
until this is perfect.
659
00:29:06,667 --> 00:29:10,000
{\an8}Oh, so her arm does not
want to stay on the hat.
660
00:29:10,066 --> 00:29:14,266
I was just determined
to make sure this hand
is gonna stay on the hat.
661
00:29:14,266 --> 00:29:16,467
It's the angle of the wire.
662
00:29:16,467 --> 00:29:18,266
The wire's pretty stiff.
663
00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:21,000
If I move the wire enough,
664
00:29:21,066 --> 00:29:24,000
it'll stay in the position
it needs to.
665
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,767
I have to adjust
her forearm wire
666
00:29:26,767 --> 00:29:29,266
to make sure there's enough
give in the wire,
667
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:31,100
so that it doesn't fall off.
668
00:29:32,166 --> 00:29:33,032
[exclaims] All right.
669
00:29:33,032 --> 00:29:33,567
[exclaims] All right.
670
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:40,767
[Jamie] We have to have
our hats on.
671
00:29:40,767 --> 00:29:43,800
-[Willie] On my way.
-[all laughing]
672
00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:46,667
[laughs] Oh, my God.
That's hilarious.
673
00:29:46,667 --> 00:29:47,900
[Bev] It looks good.
674
00:29:47,967 --> 00:29:49,300
Three minutes remaining.
675
00:29:49,367 --> 00:29:51,000
[Jamie] It gets
so crazy at the end.
676
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,100
There's no time to think
about the fact that
this is the finale.
677
00:29:54,166 --> 00:29:56,500
We just have to focus
on getting it all done.
678
00:29:56,567 --> 00:29:58,600
{\an8}[Monique] Careful not
to push it too much.
679
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,667
{\an8}Genera, just forget about it.
680
00:30:00,667 --> 00:30:02,767
{\an8}-[Genera] No, the chocolate
was too dry.
-Okay.
681
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:03,032
{\an8}'Cause I don't want you
to push this over.
682
00:30:03,032 --> 00:30:04,000
{\an8}'Cause I don't want you
to push this over.
683
00:30:06,967 --> 00:30:09,100
Oh, my gosh.
684
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:11,500
-[Aarti] This is it.
-[Shinmin] I know,
it's all come down to...
685
00:30:11,567 --> 00:30:13,166
-[Aarti] Final 30 seconds.
-[Shinmin] Yeah.
686
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:14,900
[Aarti] It's been a long road
for these guys.
687
00:30:14,967 --> 00:30:17,367
I can't believe it's all going
to end in 30 seconds.
688
00:30:18,567 --> 00:30:20,100
-[Suzanna] Hurry up.
-[Genera] Get a move on.
689
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:21,300
{\an8}[Jamie]
Come on, Willie. Let's go.
690
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:23,266
{\an8}Is it on?
691
00:30:23,266 --> 00:30:24,900
{\an8}That's it. Time's up.
692
00:30:24,967 --> 00:30:27,767
[Zak] It's time
for your creature catwalk.
693
00:30:27,767 --> 00:30:29,467
[female judges] Wow.
694
00:30:29,467 --> 00:30:31,100
[Shinmin] Good job.
695
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:33,032
[Jamie] We just take
a deep breath.
696
00:30:33,032 --> 00:30:33,166
[Jamie] We just take
a deep breath.
697
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:34,000
That's the end.
We've made our final piece.
698
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,500
And now it's up to the judges.
699
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:39,266
-Done.
-What am I wearing?
700
00:30:39,266 --> 00:30:42,400
-You're wearing
something beautiful.
-[all laughing]
701
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:47,000
{\an8}[Monique] Well,
our fashionable skeleton
702
00:30:47,066 --> 00:30:50,467
{\an8}always wins best dressed
at the catacombs catwalk.
703
00:30:50,467 --> 00:30:55,000
This year, she summoned
the bats inside the tunnel
to help her with her gown,
704
00:30:55,066 --> 00:30:57,367
to beat all the other
competition.
705
00:30:57,367 --> 00:31:00,800
So, once the bats collected
to help her skirt,
706
00:31:00,867 --> 00:31:03,032
she strutted her stuff
and had the best
bat-acombs dress.
707
00:31:03,032 --> 00:31:04,000
she strutted her stuff
and had the best
bat-acombs dress.
708
00:31:05,367 --> 00:31:07,667
We went with our theme
of headbands.
709
00:31:07,667 --> 00:31:10,166
And we went
for a pumpkin topper,
710
00:31:10,166 --> 00:31:15,266
a chocolate skull,
a candy flower
and a little light.
711
00:31:15,266 --> 00:31:20,100
Well, Ghosty Gals,
I love your skeleton
supermodel.
712
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:23,066
I think that she has
such elegance
713
00:31:23,066 --> 00:31:24,834
and she has such confidence,
714
00:31:24,834 --> 00:31:28,667
which we can really see
through the way that you've
positioned her body.
715
00:31:28,667 --> 00:31:31,767
I can feel her sashaying
down the catwalk.
716
00:31:31,767 --> 00:31:33,032
So good job there.
717
00:31:33,032 --> 00:31:33,300
So good job there.
718
00:31:33,367 --> 00:31:34,000
The supermodel is the star
of this piece
719
00:31:36,867 --> 00:31:40,567
and everything that's
underneath is kind of
stealing her spotlight.
720
00:31:40,567 --> 00:31:43,300
There's skulls, there's bones,
there's macaron,
721
00:31:43,367 --> 00:31:45,166
there's a gorgeous
perfume bottle.
722
00:31:45,166 --> 00:31:48,900
Those things, honestly,
don't showcase your talent
as much as her
723
00:31:48,967 --> 00:31:50,266
and so I would've
left those off.
724
00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:52,467
And I love your twist.
725
00:31:52,467 --> 00:31:55,400
To me, that little brush
of gold on there,
726
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:57,900
kind of reminds me
that we're thinking
about Paris
727
00:31:57,967 --> 00:32:00,567
and sort of the chic-ness
of Paris.
728
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:01,800
-So good job.
-Thank you.
729
00:32:01,867 --> 00:32:03,032
What a great way
to incorporate
your three skills.
730
00:32:03,032 --> 00:32:04,000
What a great way
to incorporate
your three skills.
731
00:32:04,367 --> 00:32:06,900
The pumpkin, the sugar
and the cake.
732
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:10,767
And to have the skull there,
which also ties
into your design.
733
00:32:10,767 --> 00:32:13,700
Really well thought out,
so that's a really
successful twist.
734
00:32:13,767 --> 00:32:14,800
Thank you.
735
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,533
For me, I think
the showstopper is the skirt.
736
00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:20,700
And I love the length.
How it takes up a majority
of the skeleton's body.
737
00:32:20,767 --> 00:32:24,166
But leaving that slit in there
with that exposed leg,
738
00:32:24,166 --> 00:32:26,000
gives me the illusion
of movement,
739
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,900
like this skeleton is walking
down the catwalk.
740
00:32:28,967 --> 00:32:30,367
Which I really appreciate.
741
00:32:30,367 --> 00:32:33,032
Not a big fan of the pumpkin
bones at the bottom.
742
00:32:33,032 --> 00:32:34,000
Not a big fan of the pumpkin
bones at the bottom.
743
00:32:34,567 --> 00:32:36,767
And it's because
we're in the finale,
744
00:32:36,767 --> 00:32:38,100
and I've seen
you make fingers,
745
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,200
I've seen you make
these beautiful spiders,
746
00:32:40,266 --> 00:32:43,066
I've seen you do so much
over the course
of these weeks.
747
00:32:43,066 --> 00:32:46,567
And now we get
to the finale and I have
these pumpkin bones
748
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:48,867
that it's like, "Is this
the Ghosty Gals
749
00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:51,300
that made this angular fish
last week?"
750
00:32:51,367 --> 00:32:53,767
You know what I mean?
So it's kind of
throwing me off.
751
00:32:53,767 --> 00:32:57,200
But at the end of the day,
I think that you absolutely
nailed the challenge,
752
00:32:57,266 --> 00:32:59,000
like you do week in
and week out
753
00:32:59,066 --> 00:33:00,700
and that is the reason
why you're here today.
754
00:33:06,667 --> 00:33:09,000
So our inspiration
was a macaron.
755
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,800
So this is an almond cake
756
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:14,100
soaked in a rose water
simple syrup.
757
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:17,567
-Okay.
-[Genera] Layered
with dark chocolate ganache,
758
00:33:17,567 --> 00:33:21,800
whipped cream,
fresh raspberries
and a macaron shell.
759
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:25,266
First off, I think that,
in my opinion, the macaron
760
00:33:25,266 --> 00:33:28,166
was the hardest one
to try to incorporate
into a cake.
761
00:33:28,166 --> 00:33:31,867
Only because the macaron
has like a distinct
kind of texture.
762
00:33:31,867 --> 00:33:33,032
Right? So you have that
crispness and then immediately
after that, it has that chew
763
00:33:33,032 --> 00:33:34,000
Right? So you have that
crispness and then immediately
after that, it has that chew
764
00:33:36,166 --> 00:33:38,166
before you get to the filling.
765
00:33:38,166 --> 00:33:40,266
So I get the flavor,
766
00:33:40,266 --> 00:33:43,266
I'm hoping that I get that
texture, but I'm not
getting that texture
767
00:33:43,266 --> 00:33:46,600
and I think by incorporating
that into the cake
like you did,
768
00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:48,166
it basically kind of
disintegrated.
769
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:49,600
You know what I mean?
770
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,600
But I do really appreciate
the almond notes
that are coming through.
771
00:33:51,667 --> 00:33:52,967
I agree with Eddie.
772
00:33:52,967 --> 00:33:56,967
This cake is 100% there
in terms of flavor.
773
00:33:56,967 --> 00:33:59,400
The almond sponge part itself
774
00:33:59,467 --> 00:34:01,166
does have a nice texture.
775
00:34:01,166 --> 00:34:03,032
It's subtle, but I can
definitely taste the almond
flavor in there.
776
00:34:03,032 --> 00:34:03,667
It's subtle, but I can
definitely taste the almond
flavor in there.
777
00:34:03,667 --> 00:34:04,000
You gave us
a moist cake
but, unfortunately,
778
00:34:06,567 --> 00:34:09,400
that just completely
melted down your macaron.
779
00:34:09,467 --> 00:34:11,600
To the point where
when I looked at this,
780
00:34:11,667 --> 00:34:13,500
I thought you actually
created a separate layer
781
00:34:13,567 --> 00:34:15,900
of like a raspberry
compote in here.
782
00:34:15,967 --> 00:34:18,066
Um, because that's
how wet it got.
783
00:34:18,066 --> 00:34:19,367
But the flavors are great.
784
00:34:19,367 --> 00:34:20,600
[both] Thank you.
785
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,967
I mean, I agree,
the macaron texture
is not pronounced.
786
00:34:24,967 --> 00:34:29,166
But there's something there.
There is a little bit of that
melt in your mouth texture
787
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:30,400
that I'm getting.
788
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:33,032
I love the pop
of fresh raspberry in there.
789
00:34:33,032 --> 00:34:33,400
I love the pop
of fresh raspberry in there.
790
00:34:33,467 --> 00:34:34,000
Um, especially against
an almond cake
791
00:34:35,367 --> 00:34:37,500
which tends to be a little bit
on the drier side.
792
00:34:37,567 --> 00:34:39,000
So that was really smart
793
00:34:39,066 --> 00:34:42,166
and putting that big,
thick layer of whipped cream
in there
794
00:34:42,166 --> 00:34:43,367
was also really smart.
795
00:34:43,367 --> 00:34:45,400
Knowing how dry
almond cake can be.
796
00:34:45,467 --> 00:34:48,367
So my fascinator off to you
797
00:34:48,367 --> 00:34:51,767
-for taking the risk
and going for the macaron.
-[judges laugh]
798
00:34:51,767 --> 00:34:54,767
I do think that it was
one of the more
challenging desserts.
799
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:56,667
You're nearly there.
800
00:34:56,667 --> 00:34:58,266
[contestants] Thank you.
801
00:34:58,266 --> 00:35:00,066
-Thank you, ladies.
-[contestants] Thank you.
802
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,032
{\an8}[Jamie] So, standing in a pile
of radioactive sewage,
803
00:35:03,032 --> 00:35:04,000
{\an8}[Jamie] So, standing in a pile
of radioactive sewage,
804
00:35:06,567 --> 00:35:11,500
our mutant rat supermodel
is walking down the catwalk
805
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:15,400
in front of a crowd
of rat spectators,
806
00:35:15,467 --> 00:35:20,100
mouse paparazzi
and she is here to work it.
807
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:23,266
So our fascinators
Bev made for us
808
00:35:23,266 --> 00:35:29,467
and they are to match
the very fancy accessory
on her shoe.
809
00:35:29,467 --> 00:35:32,600
And they're made out
of wafer paper, glitter
810
00:35:32,667 --> 00:35:33,032
and they have their very own
creepy mutant eyeball
in the middle of them.
811
00:35:33,032 --> 00:35:34,000
and they have their very own
creepy mutant eyeball
in the middle of them.
812
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:39,166
First off, I love her face.
813
00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:44,567
I think that there's something
disturbing and yet kind of
beautiful about it.
814
00:35:44,567 --> 00:35:47,467
It does still feel model-y
about her,
815
00:35:47,467 --> 00:35:49,100
so good job there.
816
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:53,567
You know, I like the way
that you tied your twist
into your design.
817
00:35:53,567 --> 00:35:56,867
Honestly, it reminds me
of poinsettias.
818
00:35:56,867 --> 00:36:01,400
So it's kind of pulling me
in the direction
of a different holiday.
819
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:03,032
I never thought I would get
excited about sewer couture,
but here I am.
820
00:36:03,032 --> 00:36:04,000
I never thought I would get
excited about sewer couture,
but here I am.
821
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:06,867
[all laughing]
822
00:36:06,867 --> 00:36:10,900
Um, although I don't feel
like the dress feels very
high fashion,
823
00:36:10,967 --> 00:36:15,567
the finish, I feel like is
the cleanest fondant work that
you have shown us to date.
824
00:36:15,567 --> 00:36:19,066
I love the folding
and the draping of the skirt.
825
00:36:19,066 --> 00:36:20,867
I even love the way
you airbrushed it
826
00:36:20,867 --> 00:36:24,567
and you went in there
to kind of lowlight
the shadows and the drapings.
827
00:36:24,567 --> 00:36:29,800
Now because this mutant mouse
has great textures
on the face,
828
00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:32,800
and I see some of it
on the leg as well,
even on her back,
829
00:36:32,867 --> 00:36:33,032
I wish that you kind of
continued that
830
00:36:33,032 --> 00:36:34,000
I wish that you kind of
continued that
831
00:36:34,367 --> 00:36:36,767
throughout the arms
and then the front parts
of her legs.
832
00:36:36,767 --> 00:36:38,500
And your twist.
833
00:36:38,567 --> 00:36:43,400
What I do like is that
you've tied in the color
to your cake display.
834
00:36:43,467 --> 00:36:45,100
And so, it works
as a collection.
835
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:47,100
So really, really
well done there.
836
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:50,100
It's kind of hard
to be nice and neat
837
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:52,567
when you've created
this sewer scene.
838
00:36:52,567 --> 00:36:54,767
We've seen you throughout
this entire competition
839
00:36:54,767 --> 00:36:59,800
give us very precisely done
characters, very precisely
done items,
840
00:36:59,867 --> 00:37:02,800
so what I'm saying is
you guys have taken
a total departure
841
00:37:02,867 --> 00:37:03,032
from your norm you've shown us
throughout this competition.
842
00:37:03,032 --> 00:37:04,000
from your norm you've shown us
throughout this competition.
843
00:37:05,467 --> 00:37:07,100
And I actually
appreciate that.
844
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,567
Doing something a little bit
different for the finale.
845
00:37:09,567 --> 00:37:14,266
Um, so much so,
to where it all makes sense
in a weird way to me.
846
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:18,467
This sewer scene is all about
things that have been dying
down there for ages.
847
00:37:18,467 --> 00:37:21,767
And then this dress that
you've given us has
this '80s vibe.
848
00:37:21,767 --> 00:37:22,900
[all laugh]
849
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:26,767
Right? So I'm thinking like
this rat found this dress
850
00:37:26,767 --> 00:37:28,767
that has been down
this sewer for ages.
851
00:37:28,767 --> 00:37:33,032
The more I think about it,
the more I think that this
is absolutely brilliant.
852
00:37:33,032 --> 00:37:33,467
The more I think about it,
the more I think that this
is absolutely brilliant.
853
00:37:33,467 --> 00:37:34,000
[judges laugh]
854
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:38,467
Now the biggest thing though
for me though is that I feel
like the character
855
00:37:38,467 --> 00:37:40,600
is very stiff.
856
00:37:40,667 --> 00:37:42,166
So I wish there was
more movement.
857
00:37:42,166 --> 00:37:44,166
Now your fascinators,
858
00:37:44,166 --> 00:37:46,667
I agree, I've been trying
to figure it out.
859
00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:49,100
And I'm like, yes,
that does look like
a poinsettia.
860
00:37:49,166 --> 00:37:51,133
It really does.
861
00:37:51,133 --> 00:37:55,667
I wish that you would have
found a way to kind of tie in
that old school, beat up vibe
862
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:58,367
because that's what
I'm getting from
your scene sewer.
863
00:37:58,367 --> 00:38:00,367
And then when I look at this,
this looks like a Christmas
party.
864
00:38:00,367 --> 00:38:02,000
[all laugh]
865
00:38:02,066 --> 00:38:03,032
I'm not knocking
a Christmas party,
but it is Halloween Wars.
866
00:38:03,032 --> 00:38:04,000
I'm not knocking
a Christmas party,
but it is Halloween Wars.
867
00:38:06,667 --> 00:38:08,166
[judges exclaim]
868
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:10,367
[Shinmin] All that good stuff.
869
00:38:10,367 --> 00:38:12,800
We were inspired by an eclair.
870
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:15,567
So it's hazelnut cake
871
00:38:15,567 --> 00:38:17,567
with layers of hazelnut cream,
872
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:21,066
dark chocolate covered
little choux bits
873
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:24,166
and dark chocolate ganache
hazelnut brittle
874
00:38:24,166 --> 00:38:27,667
and a thin layer
of raspberry compote.
875
00:38:27,667 --> 00:38:31,166
This cake doesn't put me
in the mind of an eclair.
876
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:33,032
Puts me in the mind
of a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich.
877
00:38:33,032 --> 00:38:33,567
Puts me in the mind
of a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich.
878
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,567
This cake doesn't put me
in the mind of an eclair.
879
00:38:42,567 --> 00:38:45,100
Puts me in the mind
of a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich.
880
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:47,567
The hazelnut is
very pronounced
881
00:38:47,567 --> 00:38:49,500
because you used it
in a few different ways.
882
00:38:49,567 --> 00:38:51,000
And then, every now and again,
883
00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:52,867
I get pops of that raspberry.
884
00:38:52,867 --> 00:38:54,367
Mmm-hmm.
885
00:38:54,367 --> 00:38:56,967
[Eddie] And it's taking me
down this kind of PB
and J vibe.
886
00:38:56,967 --> 00:39:02,367
Which isn't a bad thing,
but I really wanna get
that eclair type of vibe.
887
00:39:02,367 --> 00:39:05,066
But I gotta tell you,
this is a really good cake.
888
00:39:05,066 --> 00:39:06,564
This is the kind of cake
that I want a glass of milk
to go along with it, right?
889
00:39:06,564 --> 00:39:07,000
This is the kind of cake
that I want a glass of milk
to go along with it, right?
890
00:39:08,967 --> 00:39:10,200
It's like a mouthful
891
00:39:10,266 --> 00:39:12,266
and it kind of makes
my mouth go smack.
892
00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:14,367
And it is because
of the hazelnut cream.
893
00:39:14,367 --> 00:39:18,000
I love hazelnut, but I feel
like if you'd just said
this is a hazelnut cream cake,
894
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,767
I'd be like, yeah, you got it.
895
00:39:19,767 --> 00:39:22,867
Yeah, Jamie, when I get
those bites of chocolate
covered choux,
896
00:39:22,867 --> 00:39:24,967
I do get eclair.
897
00:39:24,967 --> 00:39:28,700
The sadness for me is there's
not that many of them
in each slice of cake.
898
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:31,667
I would've covered an entire
layer of it,
899
00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:34,300
so it's loud and clear
that this is eclair.
900
00:39:34,367 --> 00:39:36,564
Particularly because you added
these adornments of hazelnut
and raspberry.
901
00:39:36,564 --> 00:39:37,000
Particularly because you added
these adornments of hazelnut
and raspberry.
902
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:43,300
You needed to nail
the eclair part of it
even more forcefully
903
00:39:43,367 --> 00:39:46,467
than you would a cake
you were making at home.
904
00:39:46,467 --> 00:39:48,800
All right, Lollipop Lunatics,
thank you so much.
905
00:39:48,867 --> 00:39:49,867
[contestants] Thank you.
906
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,667
All right, Lollipop Lunatics
and Ghosty Gals,
907
00:39:55,667 --> 00:39:59,600
you showed tremendous skill
in pumpkin,. cake and sugar.
908
00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:01,967
[Aarti] In this final
championship round,
909
00:40:01,967 --> 00:40:05,700
Zak asked you to deliver
your scariest work yet
910
00:40:05,767 --> 00:40:06,564
inspired by
his terrifying journey
911
00:40:06,564 --> 00:40:07,000
inspired by
his terrifying journey
912
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:11,767
through the underground
catacombs of Paris.
913
00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:14,166
[Shinmin] Lollipop Lunatics,
914
00:40:14,166 --> 00:40:17,266
you impressed us
with the sheer volume of work
915
00:40:17,266 --> 00:40:19,100
that you have accomplished.
916
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:24,367
The details of the rat face
and the finish of her dress
are picture perfect.
917
00:40:24,367 --> 00:40:26,967
But your rat was a bit rigid.
918
00:40:26,967 --> 00:40:30,500
And we wish you had more
of that beautiful fur texture.
919
00:40:30,567 --> 00:40:33,700
You flower fascinators
looked beautiful,
920
00:40:33,767 --> 00:40:36,300
but they felt a little more
holiday than Halloween.
921
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,467
And your cake was delicious,
922
00:40:39,467 --> 00:40:42,700
but it was a bit more PB and J
than eclair.
923
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,667
And Ghosty Gals,
924
00:40:45,667 --> 00:40:49,700
we thought your fashion show
might be a fashion fail,
925
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:53,467
but you were able
to pull it together
in those final moments.
926
00:40:53,467 --> 00:40:56,200
We loved the cool,
but moody palette
927
00:40:56,266 --> 00:40:58,867
of your skeleton's
haute couture dress.
928
00:40:58,867 --> 00:41:01,967
And you were able to create
the illusion of movement
929
00:41:01,967 --> 00:41:03,867
with that exposed leg bone.
930
00:41:03,867 --> 00:41:05,967
But you were missing
some of that sculpting
931
00:41:05,967 --> 00:41:06,564
that you've impressed us with
over the season.
932
00:41:06,564 --> 00:41:07,000
that you've impressed us with
over the season.
933
00:41:08,767 --> 00:41:11,567
And the bones on the base
were a little messy.
934
00:41:11,567 --> 00:41:15,266
You slayed the twist
with your fashionable
fascinators,
935
00:41:15,266 --> 00:41:19,266
but your cake wasn't
as successful in mimicking
the texture of the macaron
936
00:41:19,266 --> 00:41:21,000
that we were looking for.
937
00:41:21,066 --> 00:41:23,867
This was a tough
decision for us.
938
00:41:23,867 --> 00:41:27,266
It was the closest
of the whole season.
939
00:41:27,266 --> 00:41:30,767
The winner
of Halloween Wars is...
940
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,667
-Ghosty Gals.
-[team exclaiming]
941
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,166
Yes, so Ghosty Gals
are the Halloween champs.
942
00:41:45,166 --> 00:41:46,600
{\an8}Ghosty Gals, how you feeling?
943
00:41:46,667 --> 00:41:49,300
{\an8}We're leaking. [laughs]
944
00:41:49,367 --> 00:41:50,266
{\an8}So, so happy.
945
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:52,100
{\an8}-You did it.
-You should be so proud.
946
00:41:52,166 --> 00:41:53,567
{\an8}We're so proud of you.
947
00:41:53,567 --> 00:41:55,467
{\an8}-[Eddie] Seriously,
good job, both of you.
-[contestants] Yeah.
948
00:41:55,467 --> 00:41:56,467
{\an8}[Eddie] Really good job.
