1
00:00:01,002 --> 00:00:02,672
Gordon: Previously on
"MasterChef Junior"...
2
00:00:02,672 --> 00:00:05,277
Gordon:
All of you are going to
have to turn this crab
3
00:00:05,277 --> 00:00:07,649
into something truly magical.
4
00:00:07,649 --> 00:00:09,151
Visually, it looks unfinished.
5
00:00:09,151 --> 00:00:11,122
The individual leaving
6
00:00:11,122 --> 00:00:13,326
the MasterChef kitchen
tonight is...
7
00:00:13,326 --> 00:00:15,497
Ciara.
8
00:00:15,497 --> 00:00:17,869
- Good night, Ciara. Bye, love.
- All: Bye!
9
00:00:17,869 --> 00:00:21,610
Tonight,
it's a bittersweet
team challenge...
10
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:25,250
- We're having a bake sale.
- Aarón: Yeah!
11
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:27,254
It's the best day of my life.
12
00:00:27,254 --> 00:00:28,925
...as the top eight
battle it out.
13
00:00:28,925 --> 00:00:31,730
- I need help.
- My shortbread dough
is not coming together.
14
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:34,803
- I know what
everybody is doing.
- The towel! The towel, Ivy!
15
00:00:34,803 --> 00:00:37,709
- Let go, let go.
- How come you're
on fire there?
16
00:00:37,709 --> 00:00:41,049
- Am I missing something?
- This is not going well.
17
00:00:41,049 --> 00:00:42,953
My dough didn't
come together.
18
00:00:42,953 --> 00:00:44,288
Gordon:
We are in danger.
19
00:00:44,288 --> 00:00:45,725
That's what red means
for me right now.
20
00:00:45,725 --> 00:00:47,662
That's almost like an insult
to the word cookie.
21
00:00:47,662 --> 00:00:49,533
Let's hope it tastes better
than it looks.
22
00:00:49,533 --> 00:00:52,906
It just looks like
a giant piece of dog poop.
23
00:00:52,906 --> 00:00:55,143
Terrible.
24
00:00:57,147 --> 00:01:00,187
( music playing )
25
00:01:01,055 --> 00:01:02,559
Look at this.
26
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:06,065
This is my kind of day.
Mm-mm-mm.
27
00:01:06,065 --> 00:01:07,903
- Oh, yes.
- Gordon: Come on.
28
00:01:07,903 --> 00:01:10,440
- Give me a break.
- This is what makes me
excited about being British.
29
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,111
What is that
monstrosity there?
30
00:01:12,111 --> 00:01:13,446
- This here?
- That, yeah.
31
00:01:13,446 --> 00:01:16,754
It's a beautiful chocolate
cornflake surprise.
32
00:01:19,893 --> 00:01:21,931
( cheering )
33
00:01:21,931 --> 00:01:24,135
- Welcome back, guys.
- Oh!
34
00:01:24,135 --> 00:01:26,439
Grab yourselves a plate
and help yourself.
35
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:29,111
Grayson:
Walking into the kitchen,
36
00:01:29,111 --> 00:01:30,615
there's so many desserts
in front of us.
37
00:01:30,615 --> 00:01:33,386
Gordon has desserts
from England,
38
00:01:33,386 --> 00:01:35,658
and Daphne has desserts
from America,
39
00:01:35,658 --> 00:01:38,363
and Aarón has desserts
from Mexico.
40
00:01:38,363 --> 00:01:40,334
And it's really cool
because we get to eat
41
00:01:40,334 --> 00:01:42,371
all of these tasty desserts.
42
00:01:42,371 --> 00:01:44,643
- Victoria sponge!
- Battenberg cake.
43
00:01:44,643 --> 00:01:47,649
Eva: I've never seen
so much sugar in one place.
44
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:51,991
I mean, cupcakes, cakes,
churros, candied apples,
caramel apples.
45
00:01:51,991 --> 00:01:56,065
There's cinnamon buns.
There's literally anything
a kid would ever want.
46
00:01:56,065 --> 00:01:58,971
Gordon:
How delicious are they?
47
00:01:58,971 --> 00:02:00,642
- Are they good?
- So delicious.
48
00:02:00,642 --> 00:02:02,879
- Gordon:
Really good, right?
- Yeah.
49
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:05,384
- Cruz, you can take
another Victoria sponge.
- Okay, you know what?
50
00:02:05,384 --> 00:02:07,488
I'm just taking
the whole thing. Thank you.
51
00:02:07,488 --> 00:02:09,526
Gordon: In case you guys
haven't guessed it,
52
00:02:09,526 --> 00:02:11,396
today,
for the first time ever,
53
00:02:11,396 --> 00:02:14,770
we're having
a MasterChef Junior bake sale!
54
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:16,907
- Aarón: Yeah!
- Gordon: Yes.
55
00:02:16,907 --> 00:02:20,280
Today is the very first
MasterChef Junior bake sale,
56
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,019
and the very first bake sale
I have ever been to.
57
00:02:23,019 --> 00:02:25,457
At this point,
it's the best day of my life.
58
00:02:25,457 --> 00:02:28,330
Well, guys, do not be fooled
by all the tasty treats.
59
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:30,868
Bake sales
are a tough business,
60
00:02:30,868 --> 00:02:33,874
especially when
an elimination is on the line.
61
00:02:33,874 --> 00:02:35,310
You're not going to
bake alone.
62
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:38,584
This is your next
team challenge.
63
00:02:38,584 --> 00:02:41,623
- ( cheering )
- And after it's over,
64
00:02:41,623 --> 00:02:44,796
someone from the losing team
will be going home.
65
00:02:44,796 --> 00:02:46,967
Abir: Having won
my last two team challenges,
66
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:48,136
I feel good about
team challenges now.
67
00:02:48,136 --> 00:02:50,107
I know how they work.
68
00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:53,446
But I know that someone's
gonna be going home
at the end of today.
69
00:02:53,446 --> 00:02:55,484
So I have to bring
whatever knowledge I have
70
00:02:55,484 --> 00:02:57,589
from desserts and baking
into this bake sale.
71
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:59,693
Aarón:
All right, here's the deal.
72
00:02:59,693 --> 00:03:01,295
You guys will be split
into two teams of four.
73
00:03:01,295 --> 00:03:04,035
Each team will be responsible
74
00:03:04,035 --> 00:03:05,738
for four baked goods.
75
00:03:05,738 --> 00:03:07,709
So that's one per person.
76
00:03:07,709 --> 00:03:12,151
We want to see your version
of the most incredible cookie,
77
00:03:12,151 --> 00:03:14,288
cupcake, a profiterole--
78
00:03:14,288 --> 00:03:17,662
otherwise known as
a cream puff-- and a bar.
79
00:03:17,662 --> 00:03:20,300
Gordon:
And you'll only have 75 minutes
80
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,704
to make 20 portions of each
81
00:03:21,704 --> 00:03:25,645
of those four delicious
different desserts.
82
00:03:25,645 --> 00:03:27,582
Now, here's the good news.
Today we'll be joined
83
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:30,187
by a crowd of very,
very special guests,
84
00:03:30,187 --> 00:03:32,892
- and they all love sweets.
- Kids?
85
00:03:32,892 --> 00:03:34,529
- Kids?
- Kids?
86
00:03:34,529 --> 00:03:36,900
That's right.
They're kids just like you guys.
87
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,438
( cheering )
88
00:03:39,438 --> 00:03:41,342
The kids won't be
buying your food,
89
00:03:41,342 --> 00:03:43,547
but they will be eating it
90
00:03:43,547 --> 00:03:45,518
and telling us
what they think.
91
00:03:45,518 --> 00:03:47,454
Today, we will be
the ones judging.
92
00:03:47,454 --> 00:03:49,458
We will taste all
of your baked goods
93
00:03:49,458 --> 00:03:51,730
and talk to all
of the kids, too.
94
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:53,868
But, ultimately, we will be
the ones deciding
95
00:03:53,868 --> 00:03:57,374
- who wins and who loses.
- Gordon: Right.
96
00:03:57,374 --> 00:04:00,213
- Are you guys ready?
- Yes, Chef!
97
00:04:00,213 --> 00:04:03,486
We are looking
for some volunteers
98
00:04:03,486 --> 00:04:05,725
- to become captains.
- Oh, please, please.
99
00:04:05,725 --> 00:04:09,699
Excellent.
Ivy, your hand went up first.
100
00:04:09,699 --> 00:04:12,104
You are gonna be
the captain of the red team.
101
00:04:12,104 --> 00:04:13,874
- Yes!
- Yay, Ivy!
102
00:04:13,874 --> 00:04:15,343
You got this.
103
00:04:15,343 --> 00:04:17,247
And guess whose hand
went up second?
104
00:04:17,247 --> 00:04:19,018
- Cruz.
- Cruz, that's right.
105
00:04:19,018 --> 00:04:22,391
Cruz, you're gonna be
the captain of the blue team.
106
00:04:22,391 --> 00:04:26,667
Two youngest contestants
as captains today.
107
00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:29,071
Now, both of you,
please come up here.
108
00:04:29,071 --> 00:04:31,844
Ivy:
I think that I would be
a great team captain
109
00:04:31,844 --> 00:04:33,446
because I know how to lead
a team to victory
110
00:04:33,446 --> 00:04:35,383
because I've been
on a soccer team,
111
00:04:35,383 --> 00:04:39,659
a lacrosse team,
and I've actually won a lot
on team challenges.
112
00:04:39,659 --> 00:04:41,262
So I think
that I've shown the judges
113
00:04:41,262 --> 00:04:43,133
that I can run a team
114
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:45,203
no matter what age I am.
115
00:04:45,203 --> 00:04:46,673
Looking sharp, everyone.
116
00:04:46,673 --> 00:04:48,777
I'm gonna show them
that the youngest one here
117
00:04:48,777 --> 00:04:52,919
can be a team captain
and cook like a pro.
118
00:04:52,919 --> 00:04:55,558
We're going to make it fair.
We're gonna flip
a coin to pick teams.
119
00:04:55,558 --> 00:04:57,427
You're gonna
call it in the air.
Heads or tails, okay?
120
00:04:57,427 --> 00:04:59,566
- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.
121
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:00,535
Tails.
122
00:05:00,535 --> 00:05:02,137
Daphne:
She calls tails.
123
00:05:02,137 --> 00:05:04,008
Gordon:
You said tails.
124
00:05:04,008 --> 00:05:06,012
And tails it is.
125
00:05:06,012 --> 00:05:07,147
- Wow.
- Yes!
126
00:05:07,147 --> 00:05:08,416
So you get to pick first.
127
00:05:08,416 --> 00:05:09,820
Ivy:
I'm picking this person
128
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:12,157
because they are
really good with sweets.
129
00:05:12,157 --> 00:05:14,863
- So, I'm choosing Eva.
- Gordon: Eva, wow.
130
00:05:14,863 --> 00:05:16,700
Ivy: I want to build
a really strong team,
131
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:18,871
so I'm gonna pick
the strongest people that I can.
132
00:05:18,871 --> 00:05:21,375
Because it's a bake challenge,
I'm gonna choose people
133
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:22,979
who are strong bakers,
like Eva.
134
00:05:22,979 --> 00:05:25,818
- Gordon: Right, Cruz.
- I'm picking this person
135
00:05:25,818 --> 00:05:28,757
- because I know they can
work as a team.
- Gordon: Smart.
136
00:05:28,757 --> 00:05:30,528
- And that person is Grayson.
- Gordon: Grayson.
137
00:05:30,528 --> 00:05:32,331
- Gordon: Wow.
- Good job, Grayson.
138
00:05:32,331 --> 00:05:35,838
- Liya.
- Wow. Liya, welcome
to the red team.
139
00:05:35,838 --> 00:05:37,642
- Daphne: Mmm.
- Gordon: Excellent.
140
00:05:37,642 --> 00:05:39,513
- Cruz? Abir.
- Abir.
141
00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:41,449
- Eva: Good job, Abir!
- Gordon: Well done.
142
00:05:41,449 --> 00:05:42,552
Welcome to the blue team.
143
00:05:42,552 --> 00:05:45,958
So, Ivy, this is it.
Final pick.
144
00:05:47,562 --> 00:05:49,465
- I'm choosing Molly.
- Gordon: Molly.
145
00:05:49,465 --> 00:05:51,235
- Hey, it's the girls
versus boys.
- Wow.
146
00:05:51,235 --> 00:05:54,776
Gordon:
Which means, A'Dan, please,
welcome to the blue team.
147
00:05:54,776 --> 00:05:57,815
Cruz: I didn't want A'Dan
to be on my team
148
00:05:57,815 --> 00:05:59,686
because A'Dan is
very difficult to work with.
149
00:05:59,686 --> 00:06:01,322
The thing you have to do
to manage a team,
150
00:06:01,322 --> 00:06:02,892
especially A'Dan,
151
00:06:02,892 --> 00:06:04,763
is to keep charge
and never let anyone else
152
00:06:04,763 --> 00:06:06,767
be team captain besides me.
153
00:06:06,767 --> 00:06:09,405
Captains, a lot
of responsibility
on your shoulders,
154
00:06:09,405 --> 00:06:11,810
but drive your team
to victory.
155
00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:14,381
Let's have 75 minutes
on the clock, please.
156
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,789
Right.
157
00:06:17,789 --> 00:06:19,425
Your time...
158
00:06:21,229 --> 00:06:22,932
starts...
159
00:06:23,701 --> 00:06:25,538
- ...now.
- Let's go, guys.
160
00:06:25,538 --> 00:06:26,974
- Let's go, guys.
- Come on, we got this.
161
00:06:26,974 --> 00:06:28,744
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Let's go! Let's go!
162
00:06:28,744 --> 00:06:30,648
We have to make
dainty pastries
163
00:06:30,648 --> 00:06:32,552
- and prove
the stereotypes wrong.
- That's right.
164
00:06:32,552 --> 00:06:34,288
I'm very excited
to be team captain today.
165
00:06:34,288 --> 00:06:37,562
Even though I'm young,
I know how to handle
a lot of people.
166
00:06:37,562 --> 00:06:39,098
Today, the boys
will take down the girls.
167
00:06:39,098 --> 00:06:42,104
I'm thinking that we should do,
like, a chocolate cupcake.
168
00:06:42,104 --> 00:06:42,906
- No!
- Vanilla.
169
00:06:42,906 --> 00:06:44,375
- We should do red.
- No, vanilla.
170
00:06:44,375 --> 00:06:46,647
- Let's do rainbow.
- No.
171
00:06:46,647 --> 00:06:48,918
- That takes too much time.
- Red velvet! Red velvet!
172
00:06:48,918 --> 00:06:49,886
- Yes!
- Red velvet.
173
00:06:49,886 --> 00:06:51,690
- What kind of cookies?
- Peanut butter--
174
00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:54,028
Let's just do a classical
chocolate chip cookie.
175
00:06:54,028 --> 00:06:56,032
- Yeah, that'd be good.
- Wait, what about the bars?
176
00:06:56,032 --> 00:06:58,169
- Brownies!
- We need something
like brownies
177
00:06:58,169 --> 00:06:59,606
- that's not brownies.
- Blondies!
178
00:06:59,606 --> 00:07:01,042
Something lighter.
Profiterole?
179
00:07:01,042 --> 00:07:02,779
- I think that chocolate--
- Chocolate, chocolate.
180
00:07:02,779 --> 00:07:05,518
Chocolate,
because I feel like kids
would like that.
181
00:07:05,518 --> 00:07:07,421
- Eva, you're making
profiterole.
- Yes.
182
00:07:07,421 --> 00:07:09,124
Molly, you're doing cookies.
183
00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:10,594
Liya, you're doing the cupcakes,
184
00:07:10,594 --> 00:07:12,464
and I'm making
the blondies, okay?
185
00:07:12,464 --> 00:07:14,536
I think that kids will
really like ours
186
00:07:14,536 --> 00:07:17,542
because kids like
a lot of sweetness.
187
00:07:17,542 --> 00:07:19,646
Hands in.
Red team on three.
188
00:07:19,646 --> 00:07:22,986
Girls:
One, two, three, red team!
189
00:07:22,986 --> 00:07:24,856
I'm gonna do cupcakes,
so I think we could do
190
00:07:24,856 --> 00:07:26,693
something maybe
like a lemon cupcake?
191
00:07:26,693 --> 00:07:28,797
- No.
- Grayson: I have an idea.
192
00:07:28,797 --> 00:07:30,901
Since you were into
those Victoria sponges,
193
00:07:30,901 --> 00:07:34,609
we could do a play
on a mixed berry
Victoria sponge cupcake?
194
00:07:34,609 --> 00:07:36,278
- Yeah, we could do that.
- What do you think?
195
00:07:36,278 --> 00:07:39,753
- What kind of bar? Like--
- We could do a lemon bar.
196
00:07:39,753 --> 00:07:41,890
- Let's do a cookies
and cream bar!
- Okay, but, no--
197
00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:44,696
I think we should stay,
like, refined, you know?
198
00:07:44,696 --> 00:07:46,132
We're talking about kids here.
199
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:47,935
But in the end,
the judges are gonna be the ones
200
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:49,673
that are gonna decide
who's winning.
201
00:07:49,673 --> 00:07:51,008
You can do
your cookies refined.
202
00:07:51,008 --> 00:07:52,979
We can make everything else
really refined
203
00:07:52,979 --> 00:07:55,183
- and let him do
what he does best.
- Okay, fine. Fine.
204
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:58,089
- Cookies and cream.
Okay, great.
- Okay, so, cookie?
205
00:07:58,089 --> 00:08:00,861
- Yeah, snickerdoodle.
- No, no, because we already--
we wanna be refined.
206
00:08:00,861 --> 00:08:03,433
Something refined.
Something that kids will like,
207
00:08:03,433 --> 00:08:04,903
but that also
the judges will like.
208
00:08:04,903 --> 00:08:06,973
- Maybe, like, Linzer cookies.
- A Linzer cookie?
209
00:08:06,973 --> 00:08:08,409
- That would be great.
- A Linzer cookie.
210
00:08:08,409 --> 00:08:10,146
Grayson:
And then cream puff.
211
00:08:10,146 --> 00:08:11,917
What flavors
do you want to keep this
refined thing going?
212
00:08:11,917 --> 00:08:14,054
- Just keep it simple. Vanilla?
- No.
213
00:08:14,054 --> 00:08:15,658
- Matcha?
- A matcha!
214
00:08:15,658 --> 00:08:17,628
A'Dan: I don't agree
with Linzer cookies
215
00:08:17,628 --> 00:08:18,897
and matcha cream puffs.
216
00:08:18,897 --> 00:08:20,735
We know we're cooking
for children.
217
00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:22,839
Why would we do something
that children don't know?
218
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:25,911
Like, that's like giving
a two-year-old a T-bone steak.
219
00:08:25,911 --> 00:08:29,151
Okay,
the cookies and cream brownies,
it's gonna be A'Dan.
220
00:08:29,151 --> 00:08:33,426
Mixed berry
Victoria sponge cupcakes,
it's gonna be me.
221
00:08:33,426 --> 00:08:34,829
- And I do cream puffs?
- Yeah.
222
00:08:34,829 --> 00:08:37,602
Matcha cream puff for you.
Linzer cookies for Abir.
223
00:08:37,602 --> 00:08:39,606
- Yeah.
- Blue team on three.
224
00:08:39,606 --> 00:08:41,910
Boys:
One, two, three, blue team!
225
00:08:41,910 --> 00:08:46,218
- Let's do this, guys.
- Get what we need.
226
00:08:49,592 --> 00:08:51,028
All right,
so the idea of a bake sale,
227
00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:52,732
I'm interested to see
if they can channel
228
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:53,901
something so nostalgic,
229
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:55,871
something intrinsically
American, right?
230
00:08:55,871 --> 00:08:59,746
20 portions across 75 minutes,
and at the end of it,
231
00:08:59,746 --> 00:09:01,315
somebody from the losing team
will be going home.
232
00:09:01,315 --> 00:09:03,520
We gotta get our
batters and doughs done
as fast as we can.
233
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,090
- Okay.
- Yep.
234
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:07,729
Gordon: Profiterole,
for me, it's one
of the most difficult.
235
00:09:07,729 --> 00:09:09,264
It takes at least 15,
20 minutes to make that batter.
236
00:09:09,264 --> 00:09:11,570
And what kind of flavor
are you gonna put inside?
237
00:09:11,570 --> 00:09:13,072
How are you gonna
glaze them on top?
238
00:09:13,072 --> 00:09:15,745
They need to be identical
in terms of shape
239
00:09:15,745 --> 00:09:18,316
- so they cook evenly.
- What are you doing so far?
240
00:09:18,316 --> 00:09:20,453
I just really need
this butter to melt
241
00:09:20,453 --> 00:09:22,224
and then I can
get my flour in.
242
00:09:22,224 --> 00:09:24,094
Second most difficult,
Daphne, what would you say?
243
00:09:24,094 --> 00:09:27,100
The cupcakes involve
a double sort of process.
244
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,670
You have to make the batter
and make it well
245
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:30,073
so you don't get
dense fudge cupcakes.
246
00:09:30,073 --> 00:09:32,077
And then you have to nail
the butter cream frosting
247
00:09:32,077 --> 00:09:33,580
and then you have to
decorate them.
248
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:34,816
How's your batter coming, Cruz?
249
00:09:34,816 --> 00:09:36,252
My batter's going well.
250
00:09:36,252 --> 00:09:38,757
I mean,
the third most difficult
has to be that bar, right?
251
00:09:38,757 --> 00:09:40,628
- Daphne: I think so.
- Just to make them
look attractive,
252
00:09:40,628 --> 00:09:42,230
because we look at desserts
253
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:45,036
- with the eye first, right?
- Aarón: Absolutely.
254
00:09:45,036 --> 00:09:47,975
Cookies are pretty
straightforward, but because
it is people's favorite
255
00:09:47,975 --> 00:09:49,846
- comfort food,
you need to nail it.
- Sure.
256
00:09:49,846 --> 00:09:52,618
Gordon: Guys,
just over ten minutes gone.
257
00:09:52,618 --> 00:09:54,956
64 minutes remaining.
258
00:09:54,956 --> 00:09:56,626
Let's go.
259
00:09:56,626 --> 00:09:58,362
I'm good.
I'm gonna spread this out.
260
00:09:58,362 --> 00:10:00,033
- Right, Cruz, we good?
- Yes, Chef.
261
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:01,837
Give me an insight into
who's doing what, please.
262
00:10:01,837 --> 00:10:05,778
Well, for Grayson, he's doing
our matcha profiteroles.
263
00:10:05,778 --> 00:10:08,984
And, Abir, he's starting
our Linzer cookies.
264
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:10,721
Linzer cookies.
Why so difficult?
265
00:10:10,721 --> 00:10:12,124
'Cause that's
an amazing cookie, right?
266
00:10:12,124 --> 00:10:15,130
We want to show
that we can sort of
challenge ourselves.
267
00:10:15,130 --> 00:10:18,737
- What's A'Dan doing?
- A'Dan's doing a cookies
and cream brownie.
268
00:10:18,737 --> 00:10:20,240
- A brownie?
- Yeah.
269
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,150
I'm doing the mixed berry
Victoria sponge cake cupcakes.
270
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:28,289
- Oh. Okay.
- Cruz, do you need help
with anything?
271
00:10:28,289 --> 00:10:30,794
- Um, not really.
- Have you got all your bars in?
272
00:10:30,794 --> 00:10:32,464
- Yes, Chef.
- You got one tray in here.
273
00:10:32,464 --> 00:10:36,506
- Yes, Chef.
- Can you get 20 portions
out of that?
274
00:10:36,506 --> 00:10:37,875
I need to do another tray.
275
00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:39,378
- Do you wanna win?
- Yes, Chef.
276
00:10:39,378 --> 00:10:42,117
- I just wasn't thinking.
- Let's get a second tray in.
277
00:10:42,117 --> 00:10:43,787
- Yes, Chef.
- Now. Quickly, yes?
278
00:10:43,787 --> 00:10:45,624
Young man,
you've got 54 minutes.
279
00:10:45,624 --> 00:10:49,331
Everything should be
coming out in half an hour
to be decorated.
280
00:10:49,331 --> 00:10:50,734
Let's go.
281
00:10:51,837 --> 00:10:54,709
Ivy, what are you
making today, girl?
282
00:10:54,709 --> 00:10:56,145
I'm making the blondies.
283
00:10:56,145 --> 00:10:59,519
It has M&Ms,
and I'm gonna chop up
some walnuts
284
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:00,721
and put them in here.
285
00:11:00,721 --> 00:11:03,694
Eva is doing the cream puffs,
286
00:11:03,694 --> 00:11:06,065
and Molly is doing the cookies,
287
00:11:06,065 --> 00:11:07,802
and Liya's making
the red velvet cupcakes.
288
00:11:07,802 --> 00:11:10,406
- Mmm.
- And then we wanna have
a lot of color
289
00:11:10,406 --> 00:11:14,047
because we want to make sure
that kids think it's appealing.
290
00:11:14,047 --> 00:11:17,487
Yes, eye-catching,
like your outfits. I get it.
291
00:11:17,487 --> 00:11:20,126
Okay, well,
we're gonna let you work on
getting this into the pan.
292
00:11:20,126 --> 00:11:21,663
- Okay?
- Okay.
293
00:11:21,663 --> 00:11:23,165
- Molly.
- Molly McMollerson.
294
00:11:23,165 --> 00:11:24,903
What flavor are you making?
What cookies?
295
00:11:24,903 --> 00:11:27,073
I'm just gonna go
classical chocolate chip
296
00:11:27,073 --> 00:11:28,677
'cause I think that's,
you know, what kids love.
297
00:11:28,677 --> 00:11:30,714
But my dad says, you know,
298
00:11:30,714 --> 00:11:32,518
if it's really simple,
it makes it harder.
299
00:11:32,518 --> 00:11:34,288
Yeah, that's true,
because you can't hide
anywhere, right?
300
00:11:34,288 --> 00:11:37,929
- No.
- All right, good stuff.
Good luck, Molly.
301
00:11:37,929 --> 00:11:39,732
What do you think
about this platter
302
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:42,070
- for the cookies?
- Maybe.
303
00:11:42,070 --> 00:11:45,778
Abir:
I picked a Linzer cookie
for the kids,
304
00:11:45,778 --> 00:11:47,214
and I feel like
I definitely have
305
00:11:47,214 --> 00:11:49,519
one of the toughest desserts
right now on our team.
306
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:53,292
But I have to embrace this
and make sure that Gordon sees
307
00:11:53,292 --> 00:11:55,496
that I can bake and cook.
308
00:11:55,496 --> 00:11:57,969
So I have to
figure it out fast.
309
00:11:57,969 --> 00:12:00,641
My shortbread dough
is not coming together.
310
00:12:00,641 --> 00:12:02,043
Am I missing something?
311
00:12:02,043 --> 00:12:04,716
I've never made
a Linzer cookie before,
312
00:12:04,716 --> 00:12:06,218
but I've made shortbread dough
313
00:12:06,218 --> 00:12:09,258
and I know how it's supposed
to feel and taste.
314
00:12:09,258 --> 00:12:11,095
It's way too sandy.
Should I start over?
315
00:12:11,095 --> 00:12:12,765
- I'm really worried.
- My shortbread dough
316
00:12:12,765 --> 00:12:14,234
is still not
coming together, guys.
317
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:17,374
My mind is just exploding.
I don't know what went wrong.
318
00:12:17,374 --> 00:12:19,478
I definitely do not
want to go home tonight.
319
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,599
My shortbread dough is still
not coming together, guys.
320
00:12:29,599 --> 00:12:31,603
It's still not coming together.
321
00:12:31,603 --> 00:12:33,840
So I have to add
some more butter,
322
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,577
and hopefully this
can come together.
323
00:12:35,577 --> 00:12:36,846
Because if it doesn't,
324
00:12:36,846 --> 00:12:39,151
I'll just have to
completely start over.
325
00:12:39,151 --> 00:12:41,756
- Trying to add
a little milk to bind it.
- Yeah, cream.
326
00:12:41,756 --> 00:12:44,461
Cream or milk
is going to help.
327
00:12:44,461 --> 00:12:46,633
( clicks tongue )
328
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:48,169
At this point,
I don't wanna help Abir,
329
00:12:48,169 --> 00:12:50,941
because I tried to tell them
let's do snickerdoodle cookies.
330
00:12:50,941 --> 00:12:54,414
It's a kid-friendly cookie
and it's not very hard to make.
331
00:12:54,414 --> 00:12:56,686
But they didn't listen to me,
so that's their fault.
332
00:12:56,686 --> 00:12:58,890
Abir:
All right, it looks better.
333
00:12:58,890 --> 00:13:01,328
Gordon:
50 minutes remaining.
Let's go!
334
00:13:04,569 --> 00:13:06,840
- Blue team a little bit
fragmented at the moment.
- Yeah?
335
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,075
A'Dan is not on the same page.
336
00:13:08,075 --> 00:13:10,648
That chocolate brownie?
It's only ten portions.
337
00:13:10,648 --> 00:13:12,752
- No, we need 20 minimum.
- Minimum 20.
338
00:13:12,752 --> 00:13:14,756
So he's gonna another batch.
339
00:13:14,756 --> 00:13:16,826
Grayson's on it
with the choux pastry.
340
00:13:16,826 --> 00:13:18,964
Cruz has already got
his cupcakes in the oven.
341
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:20,901
- Wow.
- Abir's bitten off too much
than he can chew.
342
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:23,039
Daphne:
They decided to do
these Linzer cookies,
343
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:24,909
which are two layers
of cookies around jam.
344
00:13:24,909 --> 00:13:26,980
They're very precise,
they're very refined.
345
00:13:26,980 --> 00:13:28,884
Little beautiful cutouts
in the middle.
346
00:13:28,884 --> 00:13:30,320
They cut out twice as many
perfect cookies.
347
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,925
It's a very complicated,
skill-intensive cookie.
348
00:13:32,925 --> 00:13:34,194
And most importantly,
I'm not even sure
349
00:13:34,194 --> 00:13:35,631
it's something
kids really love.
350
00:13:35,631 --> 00:13:38,035
- I know.
- Could you get another
sheet tray for me?
351
00:13:38,035 --> 00:13:39,471
Another sheet tray, okay.
352
00:13:39,471 --> 00:13:42,444
Abir is really struggling
with the shortbread cookies.
353
00:13:42,444 --> 00:13:46,986
I'm supposed to be
making my ganache
for my profiteroles,
354
00:13:46,986 --> 00:13:50,861
but instead I have to
step in and help Abir.
355
00:13:50,861 --> 00:13:52,765
Here, I'll roll,
you get the parchment, okay?
356
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:55,303
It's chaos, because
he needs so much help.
357
00:13:55,303 --> 00:13:58,175
Guys, we have to get
back on track.
358
00:13:58,175 --> 00:14:00,446
All right,
mine are getting ready
to go into the oven.
359
00:14:00,446 --> 00:14:03,452
I'm just gonna add
my chocolate and my walnuts.
360
00:14:03,452 --> 00:14:05,958
I'd rather be on the grill
than handling the oven,
361
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:08,195
but I am killing it
on this cookie batter.
362
00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:12,003
I almost have
all of my cookies into
the oven and ready to go.
363
00:14:12,003 --> 00:14:16,880
Yeah, I'm going into the oven
in, like, a couple minutes.
364
00:14:17,915 --> 00:14:19,719
Eva:
Ivy, I have to start over.
365
00:14:19,719 --> 00:14:21,523
- My dough didn't come together.
- It's okay.
366
00:14:21,523 --> 00:14:25,964
Put your butter on,
like, high heat and just,
like, stir, okay?
367
00:14:25,964 --> 00:14:29,137
Yep. I got this.
I'm not falling back.
368
00:14:29,137 --> 00:14:30,708
Eva:
I don't really know
369
00:14:30,708 --> 00:14:32,511
what's happening
with my profiteroles,
370
00:14:32,511 --> 00:14:36,285
but there's no time to be like,
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God."
371
00:14:36,285 --> 00:14:39,892
I have to keep going
so I have some kind of
dough to serve.
372
00:14:41,596 --> 00:14:44,535
- Okay!
- Cruz: Come on, guys.
373
00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:46,940
Grayson:
Cream puffs are in the oven.
What can I do to help?
374
00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:50,012
- Abir: Cruz,
I need help with these.
- Cruz: Grayson, help Abir.
375
00:14:50,012 --> 00:14:51,649
They're all over the place
right now on the blue team,
376
00:14:51,649 --> 00:14:53,185
'cause the cookies
are way behind.
377
00:14:53,185 --> 00:14:56,325
Look at Abir now.
He's still rolling out cookies.
378
00:14:56,325 --> 00:14:58,262
Abir, how many you got
more to roll out?
379
00:14:58,262 --> 00:15:01,335
Uh, let's see. 13 more, Chef.
380
00:15:01,335 --> 00:15:02,671
Unbelievable.
381
00:15:02,671 --> 00:15:04,107
Daphne:
Less than 45 minutes left
382
00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:05,309
to get cookies into the oven,
383
00:15:05,309 --> 00:15:06,913
let them cool,
put the jam filling
384
00:15:06,913 --> 00:15:08,482
and decorate them,
get them on the table.
385
00:15:08,482 --> 00:15:10,687
And look at the jeopardy now.
Now Grayson's on there.
386
00:15:10,687 --> 00:15:12,992
Daphne:
When your whole team's
coming together on one dish,
387
00:15:12,992 --> 00:15:15,564
you're running
the risk of sacrificing
the other three.
388
00:15:15,564 --> 00:15:18,035
There's really no excuse
for a cookie to take you down.
389
00:15:18,035 --> 00:15:20,339
- Gordon: No.
- We need to start focusing.
390
00:15:20,339 --> 00:15:24,114
If we wanna beat the girls,
we have to focus
and listen to each other.
391
00:15:24,114 --> 00:15:26,018
The saving grace
of the blue team
is the captain.
392
00:15:26,018 --> 00:15:28,590
- Yeah.
- He may be the youngest but,
boy, is he packing a punch.
393
00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:31,094
Guys, if you're done with
the thing that you're making,
394
00:15:31,094 --> 00:15:33,199
try and make sure
to help out your friends.
395
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:35,470
He seems very confident
and assured of his movements.
396
00:15:35,470 --> 00:15:38,944
- I love that.
- What do we have done
and what are we waiting on?
397
00:15:38,944 --> 00:15:42,751
- Molly: Cookies are done.
- So, I'm waiting on the--
the cupcakes.
398
00:15:42,751 --> 00:15:44,856
Okay.
One batch of my blondies
399
00:15:44,856 --> 00:15:47,460
I'm thinking
is almost done, okay?
400
00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:49,097
You know what?
Talking about leadership,
401
00:15:49,097 --> 00:15:52,370
the red team is really strong
with Ivy leading the ship.
402
00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:56,178
She's very firm,
but also she's working
and leading by example.
403
00:15:56,178 --> 00:15:57,882
Liya:
How are they going?
404
00:15:57,882 --> 00:16:00,921
Eva: Really good.
My dough is perfect.
405
00:16:00,921 --> 00:16:02,825
Ivy: Good.
We're doing really good.
406
00:16:02,825 --> 00:16:05,664
At first,
I was a little scared
because we were behind,
407
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:06,866
but now we really came back.
408
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:09,037
The red team
is doing really well.
409
00:16:10,473 --> 00:16:12,210
I don't know what's going on
on the blue team,
410
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:15,116
but I feel really strong
about the red team.
411
00:16:15,116 --> 00:16:17,053
Oh, gosh,
there's no space
in this oven.
412
00:16:17,053 --> 00:16:19,090
There's no space in this oven.
Get it in your oven.
413
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:22,363
- Get it in your oven.
- Abir, how many cookies you got
left to go in the oven?
414
00:16:22,363 --> 00:16:25,002
- Two more.
- Gordon: Unbelievable.
415
00:16:25,002 --> 00:16:26,506
Make some extras.
Let's go, young man. Move.
416
00:16:26,506 --> 00:16:28,710
Abir, how long is that
gonna be in my oven?
417
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:30,881
- Uh-- yeah.
- Set a timer.
418
00:16:30,881 --> 00:16:32,417
It's all right,
just go off color.
419
00:16:32,417 --> 00:16:35,223
Abir needs to calm down
and focus.
420
00:16:35,223 --> 00:16:38,930
Baking is like science,
because you need to make sure
421
00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:40,834
that you're very precise
and exact.
422
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:44,241
Otherwise it's going
to fall apart.
423
00:16:44,241 --> 00:16:45,944
Come on, guys. 37 minutes.
424
00:16:45,944 --> 00:16:47,848
- Halfway, guys. Let's go!
- All right.
425
00:16:47,848 --> 00:16:50,687
I'm getting my first batch
of blondies out.
426
00:16:50,687 --> 00:16:53,259
- Fantastic!
- Good job, Ivy!
427
00:16:53,259 --> 00:16:54,762
Gordon:
Let's go. Right.
428
00:16:54,762 --> 00:16:56,498
Abir, look.
429
00:16:56,498 --> 00:16:59,906
- These cookies are out.
You're still rolling yours.
- Yes, Chef.
430
00:16:59,906 --> 00:17:01,509
Young man, speed up.
431
00:17:01,509 --> 00:17:04,047
- Yes, Chef.
- Now. Unbelievable.
432
00:17:04,047 --> 00:17:06,351
Right, Ivy, are you
in control of the red team?
433
00:17:06,351 --> 00:17:07,821
Do we know what we're doing?
434
00:17:07,821 --> 00:17:09,257
- I know what
everybody's doing.
- Watch out. Watch out.
435
00:17:09,257 --> 00:17:11,796
The towel. The towel, Ivy!
Let go, let go.
436
00:17:11,796 --> 00:17:13,499
How come you're on fire there?
437
00:17:13,499 --> 00:17:14,502
Turn that gas down.
438
00:17:15,469 --> 00:17:17,942
How'd you--
439
00:17:17,942 --> 00:17:20,112
How'd you set
an oven cloth on fire?
440
00:17:20,112 --> 00:17:22,016
Ivy:
Fire doesn't really scare me.
441
00:17:22,016 --> 00:17:24,755
- ( giggles )
- What's left to cook?
442
00:17:24,755 --> 00:17:26,726
- What are you cooking there?
- My profiteroles.
443
00:17:26,726 --> 00:17:28,329
They're still not out yet?
444
00:17:28,329 --> 00:17:29,899
- No.
- They're not out yet?
445
00:17:29,899 --> 00:17:31,636
- No.
- Oh, boy.
446
00:17:31,636 --> 00:17:32,738
- They're not.
- Oh, boy.
447
00:17:32,738 --> 00:17:34,542
Gordon:
What happened here?
448
00:17:35,944 --> 00:17:37,948
Just feel the weight.
449
00:17:37,948 --> 00:17:40,253
Feel the weight.
Why are they so heavy?
450
00:17:40,253 --> 00:17:41,188
- I don't know.
- Huh?
451
00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:42,891
What's happened
to the mixture?
452
00:17:42,891 --> 00:17:45,731
- I have-- I have no idea.
- Did we whip up the eggs?
453
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:47,601
Yeah, I did everything right.
454
00:17:47,601 --> 00:17:49,204
She said that
the batter was perfect.
455
00:17:49,204 --> 00:17:51,041
Gordon:
We need to crank up the oven.
456
00:17:51,041 --> 00:17:52,912
- Another hundred, yes?
- Yes.
457
00:17:52,912 --> 00:17:54,314
- All right, let's go.
- I got this.
458
00:17:54,314 --> 00:17:56,351
Gordon:
Uh, so, listen.
459
00:17:56,351 --> 00:18:00,059
I'm worried. I'm worried.
460
00:18:00,059 --> 00:18:03,399
Inside the oven there,
the profiteroles,
461
00:18:03,399 --> 00:18:06,773
we got 27 minutes left to go
and they're nowhere near cooked.
462
00:18:06,773 --> 00:18:08,710
They need to cool down,
and then you need to stuff them.
463
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:11,381
- Are you sure you got
the right person doing that?
- I think so.
464
00:18:11,381 --> 00:18:15,557
She said that she was
really good with profiteroles
and she's made them a lot.
465
00:18:15,557 --> 00:18:17,060
Okay, but make sure
they're cooked before
466
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:19,264
they come out of there, okay?
Let's go, girl.
467
00:18:22,003 --> 00:18:24,074
- How you doing?
- Liya: Good.
468
00:18:24,074 --> 00:18:27,046
Gordon: Yeah?
So, that's raw there.
469
00:18:27,046 --> 00:18:29,885
Captain, come here.
Touch it.
470
00:18:29,885 --> 00:18:32,023
Touch it, captain.
471
00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:34,595
So why are
we taking this out?
472
00:18:34,595 --> 00:18:38,435
Liya's cupcakes are raw,
and that's not good.
473
00:18:38,435 --> 00:18:40,574
I'm a little bit overwhelmed
474
00:18:40,574 --> 00:18:42,578
because everybody's
having problems
475
00:18:42,578 --> 00:18:44,715
and the red team
is falling apart.
476
00:18:44,715 --> 00:18:47,086
This is stressful.
477
00:18:47,086 --> 00:18:48,389
Gordon:
We are in danger.
478
00:18:48,389 --> 00:18:50,594
That's what red means
for me right now.
479
00:18:56,873 --> 00:18:58,743
Touch it, captain.
480
00:18:58,743 --> 00:19:00,479
So why are
we taking this out?
481
00:19:00,479 --> 00:19:02,016
- I want to help you...
- Yes, Chef.
482
00:19:02,016 --> 00:19:04,487
...but they're not cooked.
They're liquid in the center.
483
00:19:04,487 --> 00:19:07,160
- I thought you wanted
to win this challenge.
- I do, Chef.
484
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,362
Hurry up.
Get them back in the oven.
485
00:19:08,362 --> 00:19:10,132
- Yes, Chef. Okay.
- Yes?
486
00:19:10,132 --> 00:19:11,368
I don't want to
let my team down,
487
00:19:11,368 --> 00:19:13,372
and right now
I feel very, very bad.
488
00:19:13,372 --> 00:19:15,544
I'm going to step up my game
489
00:19:15,544 --> 00:19:16,846
and make sure
I'm doing everything right
490
00:19:16,846 --> 00:19:20,152
and make sure my cupcakes
are ready on time.
491
00:19:23,258 --> 00:19:25,329
Wow, red team all over
the place at the moment.
492
00:19:25,329 --> 00:19:27,601
They're running out of time.
Here's the bad news.
493
00:19:27,601 --> 00:19:29,905
Liya took out two trays
of cupcakes.
494
00:19:29,905 --> 00:19:32,644
One were cooked beautifully.
The others were undercooked,
liquid in the center.
495
00:19:32,644 --> 00:19:35,917
The strongest one
right now on the red team,
would you believe, is Molly.
496
00:19:35,917 --> 00:19:39,157
Those cookies are beautiful,
but the profiteroles
are still in the oven.
497
00:19:39,157 --> 00:19:44,568
The oven wasn't cranked up,
and so they're spongy
and doughy in the center.
498
00:19:44,568 --> 00:19:48,142
Guys, I got all
the cupcakes done.
499
00:19:48,142 --> 00:19:49,344
Grayson,
is that looking good?
500
00:19:49,344 --> 00:19:50,847
- Yes, it is.
- Okay, good.
501
00:19:50,847 --> 00:19:53,318
- Grayson:
Abir, how are your cookies?
- Good.
502
00:19:54,387 --> 00:19:55,590
- Hey.
- Do they look all right?
503
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:57,493
Grayson:
We're gonna have to make do.
504
00:19:57,493 --> 00:19:59,164
Abir:
They look pretty burnt.
505
00:19:59,164 --> 00:20:00,700
So this is unacceptable,
506
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,172
because our desserts
have to be consistent.
507
00:20:03,172 --> 00:20:04,542
They have to all look the same.
508
00:20:04,542 --> 00:20:07,715
22 minutes remaining, guys.
509
00:20:07,715 --> 00:20:09,952
Abir, we need these
Linzer cookies done.
510
00:20:09,952 --> 00:20:11,756
Put them in the blast chiller
so that they cool.
511
00:20:11,756 --> 00:20:13,960
- Yeah, I know.
- Hurry.
512
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,133
I have to salvage what I can
because I don't have time
to restart.
513
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:18,570
Someone is going home.
514
00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:20,640
I just hope
that I did enough to stay.
515
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,114
Abir has only just now
pulled out the first half
of the batch--
516
00:20:24,114 --> 00:20:25,382
- Just?
- Just now.
517
00:20:25,382 --> 00:20:27,320
- I don't see any jam in sight.
- Wow.
518
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,489
They were too ambitious.
519
00:20:28,489 --> 00:20:29,892
Abir thought that this
would be something
520
00:20:29,892 --> 00:20:32,330
that would be whimsical
and presented beautifully.
521
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:35,302
- It's backfiring big time.
- Yeah.
522
00:20:36,405 --> 00:20:38,610
My cupcakes are finally cooked,
523
00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:40,947
and they are all fluffed up
and they are pretty.
524
00:20:40,947 --> 00:20:42,618
The red team
is back on track.
525
00:20:42,618 --> 00:20:44,522
Everyone's getting everything
close to being ready.
526
00:20:44,522 --> 00:20:47,828
I'm starting to think
that we can maybe win this.
527
00:20:47,828 --> 00:20:48,630
Voilà.
528
00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:50,366
We have less
than 22 minutes to go
529
00:20:50,366 --> 00:20:53,038
and I just need to pipe these
and fill them.
530
00:20:53,038 --> 00:20:56,746
And so I'm a little worried,
but I think we're gonna do fine.
531
00:20:56,746 --> 00:20:59,985
- Hey, does anybody need help?
- Eva: Yes! Yes! Yes!
532
00:20:59,985 --> 00:21:01,455
- Yes!
- Eva.
533
00:21:01,455 --> 00:21:04,360
Okay, so, I need to pipe.
534
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:05,730
- Pipe? Yeah.
- Can you help me?
535
00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:08,636
60 minutes gone,
15 minutes remaining.
536
00:21:08,636 --> 00:21:11,007
Now we should start
decorating them.
537
00:21:11,007 --> 00:21:15,316
- Eva: How many do we have?
- Did you not count?
538
00:21:18,355 --> 00:21:22,196
Gordon:
Come here. Come here.
539
00:21:22,196 --> 00:21:23,465
Now they don't look
very nice.
540
00:21:23,465 --> 00:21:25,837
I don't know
why you're doing this.
541
00:21:25,837 --> 00:21:27,908
I, honestly, don't know
why we're doing this
to each other.
542
00:21:27,908 --> 00:21:30,714
Where has this teamwork gone?
If you're gonna pipe on there,
543
00:21:30,714 --> 00:21:32,551
- can you pipe with some
finesse, please, yes?
- Okay.
544
00:21:32,551 --> 00:21:33,686
- Yes, Chef.
- You got this, Molly.
545
00:21:33,686 --> 00:21:35,489
- Okay.
- Pipe them prettier.
546
00:21:35,489 --> 00:21:37,728
I only have 18 shortbread.
Two broke in the oven.
547
00:21:37,728 --> 00:21:39,665
Guys, you gotta move.
You guys keep talking.
548
00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:41,736
- I got one shortbread done.
- You didn't make any extras?
549
00:21:41,736 --> 00:21:43,338
- Put them on the tray.
- No, Chef.
550
00:21:43,338 --> 00:21:44,440
I didn't have enough time.
551
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,344
They wouldn't have
cooked in time.
552
00:21:46,344 --> 00:21:47,548
Ten minutes to go.
553
00:21:47,548 --> 00:21:49,450
If these don't get finished,
554
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:50,821
I don't know what I'll do.
555
00:21:50,821 --> 00:21:54,662
I don't know
if I did this wrong.
I need help.
556
00:21:54,662 --> 00:21:56,933
What do you need help with?
557
00:21:56,933 --> 00:21:59,572
I don't think my brownie dough
is turning out right.
558
00:21:59,572 --> 00:22:01,776
- What's wrong with it?
- It doesn't look right.
559
00:22:01,776 --> 00:22:03,847
Abir:
You weren't supposed
to actually coat
560
00:22:03,847 --> 00:22:06,586
the entire brownie
with the cookies.
561
00:22:06,586 --> 00:22:07,855
- A'Dan: I wasn't?
- No.
562
00:22:07,855 --> 00:22:09,725
You're just supposed
to sprinkle some on top.
563
00:22:09,725 --> 00:22:12,965
- Some? Oh, my--
- Yeah. Come on, A'Dan.
564
00:22:12,965 --> 00:22:16,304
Well, we can't do anything else.
I ran out of ingredients.
565
00:22:16,304 --> 00:22:17,541
Abir:
I don't know. Are you sure?
566
00:22:17,541 --> 00:22:19,444
You can get more.
There's still time.
567
00:22:21,381 --> 00:22:22,584
I wanted you
to see this brownie.
568
00:22:22,584 --> 00:22:25,189
I mean, it's just
pure crumble on top.
569
00:22:25,189 --> 00:22:26,559
Yeah, yeah.
570
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:28,495
- Look at that sand on that.
- Yeah, it's just sand.
571
00:22:28,495 --> 00:22:30,065
It looks like
chocolate sand on top.
572
00:22:30,065 --> 00:22:32,704
- Cruz, we have a problem
with the brownies.
- Yes?
573
00:22:32,704 --> 00:22:34,173
Cruz:
Oh, no. What happened?
574
00:22:34,173 --> 00:22:38,248
So he's put too many cookies
on top of the brownie itself,
575
00:22:38,248 --> 00:22:39,618
so it's not going to
cook in time.
576
00:22:39,618 --> 00:22:41,856
We need to restart
both batches of brownies.
577
00:22:41,856 --> 00:22:43,993
- Where in the heck is A'Dan?
- He is in the pantry
578
00:22:43,993 --> 00:22:46,264
- getting more equipment.
- Cruz: A'Dan, what happened?
579
00:22:46,264 --> 00:22:49,470
- My brownies got messed up.
- Please, you got to hurry up.
580
00:22:49,470 --> 00:22:51,107
- Abir: A'Dan.
- ( groans )
581
00:22:51,107 --> 00:22:52,844
A'Dan has messed up
on the brownies,
582
00:22:52,844 --> 00:22:55,082
but I don't want to stop
what I'm doing
583
00:22:55,082 --> 00:22:58,121
because I gotta get those
cupcakes going.
584
00:22:58,121 --> 00:23:00,694
Someone from our team
might have to go home
because of that.
585
00:23:00,694 --> 00:23:02,129
Daphne:
What kind of brownies
are you making?
586
00:23:02,129 --> 00:23:04,467
They look kind of
crumbly on top.
Is that intentional?
587
00:23:04,467 --> 00:23:05,737
A'Dan:
No, I messed up.
588
00:23:05,737 --> 00:23:07,406
I'm freaking out right now.
589
00:23:07,406 --> 00:23:09,177
Both batches of brownies
are ruined
590
00:23:09,177 --> 00:23:11,616
and we're trying
to make another batch
and get this done.
591
00:23:11,616 --> 00:23:13,820
I'm in real, real trouble.
592
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:16,726
They might be
a little underbaked,
593
00:23:16,726 --> 00:23:18,563
and I'm just now
figuring that out.
594
00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:20,132
Daphne: Your brownies
are not gonna happen.
595
00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:22,169
You need to think of
a different kind of recipe.
596
00:23:22,169 --> 00:23:24,173
That needs to happen right now,
because you have ten minutes
597
00:23:24,173 --> 00:23:26,646
to make bars happen
or they're not gonna
happen at all, okay?
598
00:23:26,646 --> 00:23:29,217
This is not going well.
599
00:23:29,217 --> 00:23:30,520
I don't know what to do.
600
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,724
We have to come up
with an idea quick.
601
00:23:32,724 --> 00:23:34,427
We only have, like,
ten minutes left.
602
00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:36,298
We have to figure something out.
603
00:23:36,298 --> 00:23:37,901
I'm going home.
604
00:23:43,613 --> 00:23:45,482
Cruz: Guys, everyone stop
what they're doing.
605
00:23:45,482 --> 00:23:47,453
- Grayson,
stop what you're doing.
- Yes, Cruz.
606
00:23:47,453 --> 00:23:49,257
- We're wasting time.
- No, we're not.
607
00:23:49,257 --> 00:23:52,129
This is important.
What are we gonna do
with the brownies?
608
00:23:52,129 --> 00:23:53,298
We have to make
a different idea.
609
00:23:53,298 --> 00:23:54,868
Can someone come up
with a bar idea
610
00:23:54,868 --> 00:23:57,273
- that we don't have to bake?
- A'Dan: Wait, I got an idea.
611
00:23:57,273 --> 00:23:59,778
Chocolate bars
with Frosted Flakes.
612
00:23:59,778 --> 00:24:01,782
Cruz:
Yes, that's what we do.
613
00:24:01,782 --> 00:24:03,185
Okay, guys,
come on, hurry.
614
00:24:03,185 --> 00:24:05,322
It's a snack
I made before at home
615
00:24:05,322 --> 00:24:07,861
like 18,000 times.
616
00:24:07,861 --> 00:24:10,366
So, I'm gonna try to
get this done
617
00:24:10,366 --> 00:24:12,236
and just hope it's good.
618
00:24:12,236 --> 00:24:13,940
Gordon:
I think the problem
with the blue team
619
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:15,476
is that the easiest
execution of dessert
620
00:24:15,476 --> 00:24:16,512
seemed to be
the most difficult tonight.
621
00:24:16,512 --> 00:24:18,015
- Yep.
- The bar and the cookie
622
00:24:18,015 --> 00:24:19,250
seem to be ones
that are most long-winded.
623
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:22,390
The cupcakes are on track and
the profiteroles are on track.
624
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:26,532
Six and a half minutes to go.
Come on.
625
00:24:30,406 --> 00:24:33,045
- I just can't--
- I know. They're hot.
626
00:24:33,045 --> 00:24:36,351
Can you get them out?
And I'll cut them.
627
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:40,560
In the blast chiller,
right now my bars
look like dog poop.
628
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,733
It doesn't look great,
but it might taste great.
629
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:45,837
If there's one thing
I learned in this competition,
630
00:24:45,837 --> 00:24:48,743
even if it doesn't look good,
it's got to taste good.
631
00:24:48,743 --> 00:24:51,816
These don't look very pretty
on the right, right?
632
00:24:51,816 --> 00:24:53,619
Molly:
No, they look fine.
633
00:24:53,619 --> 00:24:55,456
Aarón:
Three and a half minutes,
everyone.
634
00:24:55,456 --> 00:24:57,627
Grayson:
Guys, come on,
we gotta hurry.
635
00:24:59,798 --> 00:25:01,434
I think these
don't look too bad.
636
00:25:01,434 --> 00:25:03,171
Okay, we have all 20.
637
00:25:03,171 --> 00:25:05,643
Come on, guys,
we have two minutes.
We gotta start plating.
638
00:25:05,643 --> 00:25:08,148
- All right.
- Pick the prettiest ones.
639
00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:09,952
Try to plate them like this.
640
00:25:13,458 --> 00:25:16,799
- Don't drop the cupcakes.
- ( squeals )
641
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,669
Okay, okay, okay.
They're done?
642
00:25:18,669 --> 00:25:20,406
Abir:
I need the powdered sugar, too.
643
00:25:20,406 --> 00:25:21,609
60 seconds to go.
Come on, guys.
644
00:25:21,609 --> 00:25:23,412
Final minute, you guys.
Final minute.
645
00:25:23,412 --> 00:25:26,685
- Oh, man.
- These are the only ones
that don't look amazing.
646
00:25:26,685 --> 00:25:29,490
- What are these?
- These are "brownies."
647
00:25:29,490 --> 00:25:31,962
- Just leave it.
It's gonna be a mess.
- We don't have time to--
648
00:25:31,962 --> 00:25:34,968
- Ten, nine, eight...
- Zest on here.
649
00:25:34,968 --> 00:25:37,339
- seven, six, five...
- Guys, just leave it.
Just leave it.
650
00:25:37,339 --> 00:25:41,281
- ...four, three, two, one.
- It's gonna be a mess.
651
00:25:41,281 --> 00:25:43,619
- And stop. Hands in the air.
- That's it. Hands in the air.
652
00:25:43,619 --> 00:25:47,426
- Well, they still look nice.
- No. No.
653
00:25:47,426 --> 00:25:48,596
Right, all of you,
very carefully,
654
00:25:48,596 --> 00:25:51,501
carry desserts
out to the patio.
655
00:25:51,501 --> 00:25:55,510
I don't even know what to say
about A'Dan's bars right now.
656
00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:58,281
They look, like, very bad.
657
00:25:58,281 --> 00:25:59,785
They better taste good
658
00:25:59,785 --> 00:26:02,256
or we're facing
elimination for sure.
659
00:26:02,256 --> 00:26:03,726
Who wants to eat some?
660
00:26:03,726 --> 00:26:06,599
I mean, these kids
better love our desserts.
661
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:08,903
I mean, we worked
really hard on them,
662
00:26:08,903 --> 00:26:11,141
and we kind of adjusted
all these desserts
663
00:26:11,141 --> 00:26:13,211
to what they would like.
664
00:26:13,211 --> 00:26:14,447
Let's go, guys.
Good luck.
665
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:16,484
- Kids: Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, Chef.
666
00:26:16,484 --> 00:26:19,123
( music playing )
667
00:26:19,123 --> 00:26:22,798
( cheering )
668
00:26:22,798 --> 00:26:26,237
These kids are like
a stampede of rhinos.
669
00:26:26,237 --> 00:26:29,143
I mean, they're coming
everywhere and they're
grabbing their desserts
670
00:26:29,143 --> 00:26:30,580
and then they're
just storming off.
671
00:26:30,580 --> 00:26:32,684
- This is a lot of kids.
- Help yourselves, guys.
672
00:26:32,684 --> 00:26:35,289
These are lemon
blackberry cookies
673
00:26:35,289 --> 00:26:36,625
with a lemon glaze.
674
00:26:36,625 --> 00:26:38,361
Abir: I look over
at the girls' station
675
00:26:38,361 --> 00:26:40,834
and most of their desserts
look really nice.
676
00:26:40,834 --> 00:26:42,737
They look like something that
you would find at a bake sale.
677
00:26:42,737 --> 00:26:44,975
They went really classic,
we went upscale,
678
00:26:44,975 --> 00:26:48,115
and I feel like that might
hurt us in the long run.
679
00:26:48,115 --> 00:26:51,822
( chattering )
680
00:26:55,095 --> 00:26:56,064
You got the cupcakes.
681
00:26:56,064 --> 00:26:57,601
Which one do you think
you prefer,
682
00:26:57,601 --> 00:27:00,540
the red team or the blue team?
683
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:02,744
- ( laughing )
- Mm...
684
00:27:02,744 --> 00:27:05,550
- ...the blue team's?
- Gordon: Interesting.
685
00:27:05,550 --> 00:27:07,286
Now, out of the cookies, which
one do you think you prefer,
686
00:27:07,286 --> 00:27:09,290
- the red team of the blue team?
- Um, the red team.
687
00:27:09,290 --> 00:27:11,294
- Yes.
- Daphne: You tried
both cookies.
688
00:27:11,294 --> 00:27:14,000
What do you think of
the red team's chocolate chip
cookie with frosting?
689
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,072
I liked it because it tastes
like a regular cookie,
690
00:27:17,072 --> 00:27:18,943
but then it had
the frosting on it.
691
00:27:18,943 --> 00:27:22,316
I liked that more than this one
because it had a--
692
00:27:22,316 --> 00:27:23,719
this one had a tangy flavor.
693
00:27:23,719 --> 00:27:25,890
- It was hard to chew.
- Daphne: It was hard to chew.
694
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:28,028
- To, like, bite. Yeah.
- Aarón: A little dry, right?
695
00:27:28,028 --> 00:27:31,034
- Which one do you prefer?
- I like the presentation
of the red one,
696
00:27:31,034 --> 00:27:33,906
but I think I like
the blue one more because
I like how it's crunchy.
697
00:27:33,906 --> 00:27:36,110
- Right, so you like
the chocolate log.
- Yeah.
698
00:27:36,110 --> 00:27:37,446
( muttering )
699
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:39,417
It's okay.
Look, it doesn't matter.
700
00:27:39,417 --> 00:27:41,856
( music playing )
701
00:27:43,593 --> 00:27:46,464
So you had
the profiteroles from the red
and the blue team, right?
702
00:27:46,464 --> 00:27:49,036
Which one do you prefer?
703
00:27:49,036 --> 00:27:51,007
- I think the red team.
- The red team.
704
00:27:51,007 --> 00:27:54,313
That entire table
liked the red team better.
Every single one.
705
00:27:54,313 --> 00:27:56,685
I just thought that the red team
had more flavor in it.
706
00:27:56,685 --> 00:27:58,556
I liked the way
that they put chocolate.
707
00:27:58,556 --> 00:28:01,327
Gordon: Chocolate always wins,
doesn't it? I love chocolate.
708
00:28:01,327 --> 00:28:02,864
Both: Yes.
709
00:28:03,966 --> 00:28:07,039
Grayson, I don't think they
really like any of our stuff.
710
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:08,676
I'm scared.
711
00:28:08,676 --> 00:28:12,283
Gordon: Okay, it's time
for the judges to taste
your baked goods.
712
00:28:12,283 --> 00:28:14,521
Right, Captain Cruz, please,
713
00:28:14,521 --> 00:28:16,625
come up with the blue team.
Let's go.
714
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:19,263
Cruz:
I'm sort of concerned for
the blue team right now
715
00:28:19,263 --> 00:28:20,833
because everything
doesn't look good,
716
00:28:20,833 --> 00:28:23,038
but hopefully
it tastes delicious.
717
00:28:23,038 --> 00:28:26,545
My heart is beeping
really fast right now
718
00:28:26,545 --> 00:28:29,217
because of how intense
this is right now.
719
00:28:29,217 --> 00:28:31,487
Right, Cruz, describe
your first dish, please.
720
00:28:31,487 --> 00:28:37,801
Today, I made a mixed berry
Victoria sponge cupcake.
721
00:28:37,801 --> 00:28:39,337
- Nice crust on there.
- Daphne: Mmm.
722
00:28:39,337 --> 00:28:41,809
The actual cook looks lovely.
Your frosting looks nice.
723
00:28:41,809 --> 00:28:43,546
Fruits a little bit
skew-whiffed.
724
00:28:43,546 --> 00:28:45,349
Do you have any fruit
inside the mix?
725
00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:48,121
The cupcake itself,
it has some like blueberries
726
00:28:48,121 --> 00:28:49,558
- and raspberry in it.
- Right.
727
00:28:49,558 --> 00:28:51,361
- Oh, boy.
- Daphne: Whoa.
728
00:28:51,361 --> 00:28:54,267
It's like the Victoria sponge
filling inside.
729
00:28:54,267 --> 00:28:55,435
Smart.
730
00:28:55,435 --> 00:28:57,106
Daphne:
Thank you so much.
731
00:28:58,643 --> 00:29:00,647
I love the flavor.
The flavor is there.
732
00:29:00,647 --> 00:29:01,782
And does taste
like a Victoria sponge.
733
00:29:01,782 --> 00:29:03,819
What it needs
is more frosting.
734
00:29:03,819 --> 00:29:07,761
But overall,
it's a beautifully
cooked cupcake.
735
00:29:07,761 --> 00:29:09,998
Daphne:
Really tender cake.
The pink frosting
736
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:11,535
I think was a good touch
'cause it sort of symbolized
737
00:29:11,535 --> 00:29:13,138
what you're getting underneath.
738
00:29:13,138 --> 00:29:15,175
- What you have on that plate
is delicious.
- Thank you.
739
00:29:15,175 --> 00:29:18,516
- I don't even know what to say.
I just think it's perfect.
- Thank you.
740
00:29:18,516 --> 00:29:20,352
Now, the cookie.
741
00:29:20,352 --> 00:29:24,493
Abir made a lemon blackberry
Linzer cookie.
742
00:29:24,493 --> 00:29:29,437
So, it looks a little bit
sort of overcooked underneath.
743
00:29:29,437 --> 00:29:33,078
And then I've got
a smaller one on top, yeah?
744
00:29:34,581 --> 00:29:38,288
And it feels really hard.
745
00:29:38,288 --> 00:29:39,490
Yeah? Let's get it--
746
00:29:39,490 --> 00:29:42,296
Oh, boy. See?
747
00:29:42,296 --> 00:29:44,066
- Oh, man.
- Daphne: Put your back into it.
748
00:29:44,066 --> 00:29:45,503
Gordon:
Can you hear that?
749
00:29:45,503 --> 00:29:48,809
Oh, boy.
You need to taste it.
750
00:29:55,556 --> 00:29:57,226
Thank you.
751
00:29:57,226 --> 00:29:59,564
Wow.
752
00:29:59,564 --> 00:30:01,568
- That's way overcooked.
- Yeah.
753
00:30:01,568 --> 00:30:05,208
And it's almost like
an insult to the word cookie.
754
00:30:19,504 --> 00:30:21,942
Gordon: Wow.
755
00:30:21,942 --> 00:30:24,447
That's way overcooked,
and it's almost like
756
00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:26,985
an insult to the word cookie.
757
00:30:26,985 --> 00:30:28,723
Cruz, now you're the captain
of the blue team.
758
00:30:28,723 --> 00:30:29,925
What happened?
759
00:30:29,925 --> 00:30:31,695
Cruz:
Well, it's on me and Abir,
760
00:30:31,695 --> 00:30:33,331
because I should have
helped him more.
761
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:35,335
Yeah, but at the same time,
you have to have ownership
762
00:30:35,335 --> 00:30:38,008
- in what you do in a team.
- Daphne: Did you and Abir
763
00:30:38,008 --> 00:30:39,343
talk about
what he was gonna make
764
00:30:39,343 --> 00:30:41,147
for his cookie before
he decided on this?
765
00:30:41,147 --> 00:30:44,320
Yes, we sort of talked
about this for a little bit,
766
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,324
and then we decided
to do a Linzer cookie
767
00:30:46,324 --> 00:30:48,929
because we wanted
to challenge ourselves.
768
00:30:48,929 --> 00:30:50,232
Look, I think
the biggest mistake
769
00:30:50,232 --> 00:30:51,434
was deciding on that cookie
in the first place.
770
00:30:51,434 --> 00:30:53,071
I think it was really
challenging to nail.
771
00:30:53,071 --> 00:30:55,843
I didn't spit it out
because I'm a lady,
772
00:30:55,843 --> 00:30:57,413
but it was not a cookie
773
00:30:57,413 --> 00:31:00,352
- I would ever eat again.
- It's dry, it's mealy,
774
00:31:00,352 --> 00:31:02,189
and there's nothing
really redeeming about it.
775
00:31:02,189 --> 00:31:04,260
- You did it good, okay?
- I'm going home.
776
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:06,197
- Don't say that. Be confident.
- Abir, calm down.
777
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,667
- You're not going home.
- Maybe nobody's going home.
778
00:31:07,667 --> 00:31:10,105
Right now I'm just hoping
that the rest of the team
779
00:31:10,105 --> 00:31:14,380
did well enough
to cover up my big mistake.
780
00:31:14,380 --> 00:31:16,652
Because if we don't,
I'm scared that I might be
the one that's going home.
781
00:31:16,652 --> 00:31:22,630
- Right, profiterole.
- Grayson made a mini
matcha cream puff.
782
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:26,337
- Let's get in there,
shall we? Oh.
- Daphne: Ooh.
783
00:31:30,011 --> 00:31:32,049
Gordon:
It's cooked beautifully.
784
00:31:32,049 --> 00:31:33,719
The only issue
I've got with the matcha
785
00:31:33,719 --> 00:31:35,021
is that it's
an acquired taste.
786
00:31:35,021 --> 00:31:36,290
You have to be careful
and know your audience.
787
00:31:36,290 --> 00:31:38,027
I told you in the beginning
of today's challenge,
788
00:31:38,027 --> 00:31:40,365
it's kids your age
that's tasting this today.
789
00:31:40,365 --> 00:31:43,171
I think there was a hint
of citrus something in there.
790
00:31:43,171 --> 00:31:44,875
I would've liked a little bit
more punch from that,
791
00:31:44,875 --> 00:31:46,210
but the profiterole
was cooked well.
792
00:31:46,210 --> 00:31:48,214
Yeah, it just needed it
to be a bigger profiterole.
793
00:31:48,214 --> 00:31:50,218
I think it would've
really kind of mellowed out
794
00:31:50,218 --> 00:31:52,156
the intensity of the green tea
and the matcha.
795
00:31:52,156 --> 00:31:55,596
But other than that,
I mean, so delicious.
796
00:31:55,596 --> 00:31:56,765
Thank you.
797
00:31:56,765 --> 00:32:00,472
Now, the final bar, right?
798
00:32:00,472 --> 00:32:04,380
A'Dan made a chocolate
cornflake bar.
799
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:06,552
Let's hope it tastes better
than it looks,
800
00:32:06,552 --> 00:32:09,190
but it doesn't blow me away,
put it that way.
801
00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:11,528
It just looks like
a giant piece of dog poop.
802
00:32:16,437 --> 00:32:18,542
Daphne: Gonna leave you
the big piece. Here you go.
803
00:32:22,282 --> 00:32:24,888
Do you know what?
It actually tastes better
than it looks.
804
00:32:24,888 --> 00:32:27,760
But at this stage
in the competition,
we're expecting a lot more.
805
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,132
I'll be honest with you,
if I ate that with
my eyes closed,
806
00:32:30,132 --> 00:32:31,501
I would have
no problems with it.
807
00:32:31,501 --> 00:32:35,008
Yeah, but it's very
challenging to look at.
808
00:32:35,008 --> 00:32:37,312
Okay, thank you, Cruz.
809
00:32:37,312 --> 00:32:40,318
I'm sort of concerned
for the blue team right now
810
00:32:40,318 --> 00:32:43,526
because they loved my cupcake
and Grayson's cream puff,
811
00:32:43,526 --> 00:32:48,334
but they were not happy
with Abir's Linzer cookies
or with A'Dan's bar.
812
00:32:48,334 --> 00:32:51,407
So, I feel like we might not
win this challenge.
813
00:32:51,407 --> 00:32:53,546
- I'm proud of myself.
- Calm down.
814
00:32:53,546 --> 00:32:56,017
Gordon: Ivy, please,
bring up your desserts.
Thank you.
815
00:32:56,017 --> 00:32:57,386
Ivy: I'm really proud
of my red team.
816
00:32:57,386 --> 00:32:59,524
Everybody worked
so well together.
817
00:32:59,524 --> 00:33:02,597
Our plates looked amazing
and I hope that the judges like
818
00:33:02,597 --> 00:33:05,837
that they're really yummy
and really colorful,
819
00:33:05,837 --> 00:33:09,578
and we win and nobody from
our team has to be eliminated.
820
00:33:09,578 --> 00:33:11,480
Gordon: Right, describe
your first dish, please.
821
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,222
Liya made a red velvet cupcake
with a cream cheese frosting.
822
00:33:15,222 --> 00:33:18,662
Visually, looks nice.
823
00:33:18,662 --> 00:33:20,332
Yes!
824
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,504
- It's cooked
beautifully inside.
- Daphne: Beautiful.
825
00:33:22,504 --> 00:33:24,741
- Gordon: Beautifully.
- Yes! Yes!
826
00:33:25,943 --> 00:33:27,647
Aarón:
Thank you.
827
00:33:30,085 --> 00:33:31,420
So, the cupcake is nice.
828
00:33:31,420 --> 00:33:33,191
- Daphne: Mmm.
- Frosting is delicious.
829
00:33:33,191 --> 00:33:34,393
Daphne:
Yeah, you got beautiful crumb.
830
00:33:34,393 --> 00:33:36,497
I mean, it's really
lovely and fluffy.
831
00:33:36,497 --> 00:33:38,903
I could've had a little bit more
of that cream cheese.
832
00:33:38,903 --> 00:33:41,240
A little bit more of that
tartness which is so nice
with red velvet cake,
833
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,476
but a very delicious cupcake.
834
00:33:42,476 --> 00:33:45,115
It's reading a little
too sweet for me.
835
00:33:45,115 --> 00:33:47,052
I would've loved maybe
a little bit of salt on top.
836
00:33:47,052 --> 00:33:50,125
- Daphne: Ooh.
- Maybe sea salt would've
taken it to the next level.
837
00:33:50,125 --> 00:33:51,728
- Daphne: Like that idea.
- Gordon: Nice.
838
00:33:51,728 --> 00:33:53,298
Now, describe
that cookie, please.
839
00:33:53,298 --> 00:33:56,204
Molly made a chocolate chip
cookie with walnuts
840
00:33:56,204 --> 00:33:57,674
and an orange drizzle.
841
00:33:57,674 --> 00:34:01,515
Never eaten a cookie
with a knife before.
Here we go.
842
00:34:04,220 --> 00:34:06,490
Gordon:
So, the flavor's nice.
843
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:08,529
Unfortunately, the cookie's
a little bit overcooked.
844
00:34:08,529 --> 00:34:10,465
They shouldn't be
so crunchy like that.
Should be more gooey.
845
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:12,704
Daphne:
Yeah, you know, part of why
people love cookies so much
846
00:34:12,704 --> 00:34:16,344
is that gooeyness on the inside
that makes it so crave-able.
847
00:34:16,344 --> 00:34:19,551
Really nice balance
of chocolate, but just
very overcooked.
848
00:34:19,551 --> 00:34:21,588
I think the fact that you have
so much chocolate in there
849
00:34:21,588 --> 00:34:25,028
is the only thing
that's saving you from this
being a real difficult bite.
850
00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:27,199
Gordon:
So, profiterole.
851
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,642
Eva made a chocolate cream puff
with more icing.
852
00:34:31,642 --> 00:34:34,514
Visually, looks nice.
Lot of height on there,
which is lovely.
853
00:34:34,514 --> 00:34:37,119
The filling is literally
oozing out of there.
854
00:34:42,964 --> 00:34:45,937
The filling is delicious.
The finishing, that's the bit
that lets it down.
855
00:34:45,937 --> 00:34:49,143
The inside is delicious,
the cookie's really good,
the height is amazing.
856
00:34:49,143 --> 00:34:50,646
It's just the way
you finished them.
857
00:34:50,646 --> 00:34:52,583
Daphne:
Maybe a little too much
chocolate coming out.
858
00:34:52,583 --> 00:34:54,453
It was exploding a little bit
too much for my taste.
859
00:34:54,453 --> 00:34:57,994
But the profiterole itself
was very well done.
860
00:34:57,994 --> 00:35:01,568
Yeah, I agree.
I think the lack of execution
on the frosting
861
00:35:01,568 --> 00:35:04,039
is really taking away
from a beautiful profiterole.
862
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,845
Gordon: Right, blondie.
Describe that one, please.
863
00:35:06,845 --> 00:35:12,690
I made a blondie with M&Ms
and a purple fluff icing.
864
00:35:12,690 --> 00:35:14,493
So, the cook looks nice.
865
00:35:14,493 --> 00:35:16,765
The one thing that concerns me
about this is that splodge.
866
00:35:16,765 --> 00:35:19,370
Whose idea was it
to put the frosting on top?
867
00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:23,244
It was my idea, but then
I didn't like how I did it.
868
00:35:23,244 --> 00:35:25,750
The blondie is nice, okay?
It tastes very good.
869
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:28,287
What it doesn't need is that
splodge of frosting on the side,
870
00:35:28,287 --> 00:35:29,557
because it's just sweet
on sweet on sweet.
871
00:35:29,557 --> 00:35:31,528
Daphne: Yeah, the bit
that I got had, you know,
872
00:35:31,528 --> 00:35:33,799
a little bit of the frosting on,
and even that was too much.
873
00:35:33,799 --> 00:35:35,435
But the cook on it
is beautiful.
874
00:35:35,435 --> 00:35:37,607
Stay away from frosting
on blondies from here on out.
875
00:35:37,607 --> 00:35:40,312
Aarón:
I love the idea of M&Ms in it.
876
00:35:40,312 --> 00:35:44,521
- Frosting's not necessary.
- Thank you, Ivy.
877
00:35:44,521 --> 00:35:46,490
Ivy: I'm really proud
of my red team.
878
00:35:46,490 --> 00:35:48,461
Our feedback was really good
from the judges,
879
00:35:48,461 --> 00:35:49,731
we worked really well together,
880
00:35:49,731 --> 00:35:51,500
and we didn't have
that many problems.
881
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:54,139
I really hope
that the red team is safe.
882
00:35:55,241 --> 00:35:57,112
Gordon: Give us a moment
to discuss this very,
883
00:35:57,112 --> 00:35:59,183
very important decision.
884
00:35:59,183 --> 00:36:00,653
This is a tough call,
this one.
885
00:36:00,653 --> 00:36:02,924
It's like the easiest ones
tripped them up,
886
00:36:02,924 --> 00:36:05,663
- the cookie and the bar.
- Isn't that wild? I know.
887
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:09,069
Gordon: The blue team,
I mean, I couldn't eat
that cookie.
888
00:36:09,069 --> 00:36:10,305
- It was so hard.
- Yeah.
889
00:36:10,305 --> 00:36:12,442
Also why would you
attempt to do something
890
00:36:12,442 --> 00:36:14,948
that is not manageable
in 75 minutes?
891
00:36:14,948 --> 00:36:18,321
But I think the blue team's
cupcake tasted better
than the red team's.
892
00:36:18,321 --> 00:36:20,091
- Aarón: Yeah, yeah.
- Beautiful. Oh, my gosh.
893
00:36:20,091 --> 00:36:22,095
I think that
was the best cupcake
we tasted today for sure.
894
00:36:22,095 --> 00:36:26,070
Gordon:
The blue team, you know,
their bar was a shocker, right?
895
00:36:26,070 --> 00:36:30,178
- Aarón: Yeah.
- I think the profiterole from
the red team tasted better
896
00:36:30,178 --> 00:36:31,447
- than the blue team.
- Beautiful.
897
00:36:31,447 --> 00:36:32,950
- And I think--
- No, I disagree.
898
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:35,956
I think the blue team
had a lot more
899
00:36:35,956 --> 00:36:38,327
interesting elements
than the red team.
900
00:36:38,327 --> 00:36:39,631
I think a part
of this challenge
901
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,635
is to know your audience
and to play to that.
902
00:36:41,635 --> 00:36:43,672
And I think the blue team
took a lot or risks,
903
00:36:43,672 --> 00:36:45,676
and I think some of them,
unfortunately, did fall flat.
904
00:36:45,676 --> 00:36:47,780
Look who you're cooking for.
Kids their age.
905
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:50,786
- Aarón:
And they speak the truth.
- They speak the truth.
906
00:37:11,393 --> 00:37:13,665
I'd like all of you now
to give both teams
907
00:37:13,665 --> 00:37:15,068
an amazing
round of applause, please.
908
00:37:15,068 --> 00:37:17,205
- Yeah!
- Thank you.
909
00:37:18,842 --> 00:37:20,513
Honestly, all of you,
thank you so much for coming
910
00:37:20,513 --> 00:37:22,950
and being part of this
incredible challenge today,
911
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:24,954
because you tasted
our first ever
912
00:37:24,954 --> 00:37:26,357
MasterChef Junior bake sale.
913
00:37:26,357 --> 00:37:28,562
- Did you guys have a good time?
- All: Yeah!
914
00:37:28,562 --> 00:37:33,371
I'm thinking that it might be
closer than we thought.
915
00:37:33,371 --> 00:37:35,208
If there's anything
that could save us right now,
916
00:37:35,208 --> 00:37:36,945
it's probably Cruz's cupcakes
917
00:37:36,945 --> 00:37:38,214
and maybe the fact
918
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:40,185
that my cream puffs
are cooked well.
919
00:37:40,185 --> 00:37:43,124
Now, today we talked
to all of you.
920
00:37:43,124 --> 00:37:45,228
And after tasting everything,
921
00:37:45,228 --> 00:37:47,767
we've talked it over at length
922
00:37:47,767 --> 00:37:50,873
and we decided that...
923
00:37:50,873 --> 00:37:53,077
based with your feedback,
924
00:37:53,077 --> 00:37:56,518
the team that will not
face elimination,
925
00:37:56,518 --> 00:37:59,323
congratulations goes to...
926
00:38:01,528 --> 00:38:04,266
The...
927
00:38:04,266 --> 00:38:07,372
...red team!
928
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:11,147
I won! I was the only
eight-year-old
929
00:38:11,147 --> 00:38:13,719
to actually lead
a team to victory.
930
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:14,888
This is amazing.
931
00:38:14,888 --> 00:38:18,427
Blue team, we have a very,
very tough decision to make.
932
00:38:18,427 --> 00:38:20,666
Sadly, somebody
is going to be going home.
933
00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:24,774
Both teams,
please head inside
whilst Miss Daphne,
934
00:38:24,774 --> 00:38:26,443
Aarón, and myself debate.
Off you go.
935
00:38:26,443 --> 00:38:28,147
Give them a round of applause,
please, all of you.
936
00:38:28,147 --> 00:38:29,684
- Thank you.
- Good job, ladies.
937
00:38:29,684 --> 00:38:30,853
Aarón:
Good job.
938
00:38:30,853 --> 00:38:33,257
Right, all of you, great job.
Well done.
939
00:38:33,257 --> 00:38:34,727
- Thanks for coming, guys.
- Gordon: Thank you.
940
00:38:34,727 --> 00:38:36,397
- Bye, now.
- Daphne: Bye, guys.
941
00:38:36,397 --> 00:38:38,234
- Bud, high-five.
Boom, let's go.
- Well done.
942
00:38:38,234 --> 00:38:41,942
Right now, I'm really wishing
that I was on the red team.
943
00:38:41,942 --> 00:38:43,946
- Later, dudes.
Later, dudettes.
- Let's go. Boom.
944
00:38:43,946 --> 00:38:45,950
I'm just gonna have to hope
that the judges
945
00:38:45,950 --> 00:38:48,120
see past the fact
that I burnt the cookie
946
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,960
and know that the Linzer cookie
is really hard to nail.
947
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,597
Blue team, let's be honest,
948
00:38:52,597 --> 00:38:54,734
I mean, Cruz did a good job
as a captain.
949
00:38:54,734 --> 00:38:56,337
- He did.
- His cupcakes were, for me,
950
00:38:56,337 --> 00:38:58,441
- the best cupcakes of the day.
- I agree.
951
00:38:58,441 --> 00:39:00,579
Grayson made
that beautiful profiterole.
952
00:39:00,579 --> 00:39:03,652
Aarón:
It breaks down to
the failure of the cooking
953
00:39:03,652 --> 00:39:05,355
and then
the atrocious appearance
954
00:39:05,355 --> 00:39:08,695
- of the chocolate bar.
- Abir picked a really
challenging cookie.
955
00:39:08,695 --> 00:39:10,198
Couldn't pull it off
in that time.
956
00:39:10,198 --> 00:39:12,035
And A'Dan struggled
throughout the cook
957
00:39:12,035 --> 00:39:13,371
and his bar looked terrible.
958
00:39:13,371 --> 00:39:15,275
But he managed to deliver
something that tasted good
959
00:39:15,275 --> 00:39:16,845
and the kids actually liked.
960
00:39:16,845 --> 00:39:20,586
Who was responsible
for the most epic failures
on the blue team,
961
00:39:20,586 --> 00:39:22,455
and that's the answer
to who needs to go home.
962
00:39:22,455 --> 00:39:24,894
- Shall we? Please.
- Let's do it.
963
00:39:24,894 --> 00:39:26,397
A'Dan:
I'm a little worried right now.
964
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:28,100
I have lost three
team challenges.
965
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:30,639
It doesn't feel good to be on
the losing team again.
966
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:32,342
There's a lot going
through my brain.
967
00:39:32,342 --> 00:39:35,381
I might be eliminated
because my dish
968
00:39:35,381 --> 00:39:38,354
didn't look good.
But it tasted so good,
969
00:39:38,354 --> 00:39:40,559
I just hope I can get up
on that balcony.
970
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:43,431
Gordon: Blue team, although
this was a team challenge,
971
00:39:43,431 --> 00:39:45,536
each of you were
individually responsible
972
00:39:45,536 --> 00:39:47,506
for your own desserts.
973
00:39:47,506 --> 00:39:48,875
And one of you, sadly,
974
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:51,247
is about to leave
the MasterChef kitchen.
975
00:39:51,247 --> 00:39:53,017
- Cruz.
- Yes, Chef.
976
00:39:53,017 --> 00:39:56,992
Today, you were the captain
of the blue team.
977
00:39:56,992 --> 00:39:58,160
You were a strong leader.
978
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,866
Your cupcake was delicious.
979
00:40:00,866 --> 00:40:03,104
Cruz, head upstairs.
980
00:40:03,104 --> 00:40:04,841
- Thank you.
- Please.
981
00:40:04,841 --> 00:40:06,377
Good job, Cruz.
982
00:40:06,377 --> 00:40:08,147
Cruz:
I feel very sad right now
983
00:40:08,147 --> 00:40:10,451
because I was the team captain.
984
00:40:10,451 --> 00:40:12,289
And I don't want
anyone to go home,
985
00:40:12,289 --> 00:40:13,825
but I'm really happy
to be safe.
986
00:40:13,825 --> 00:40:19,336
Grayson, your profiterole
had some sophisticated flavors.
987
00:40:19,336 --> 00:40:20,906
And though it didn't fit
988
00:40:20,906 --> 00:40:22,610
to the taste buds
of today's diners,
989
00:40:22,610 --> 00:40:26,718
it was one of the standout
desserts in your team.
990
00:40:26,718 --> 00:40:28,054
Thank you.
991
00:40:28,054 --> 00:40:29,991
Therefore, you're also safe.
992
00:40:29,991 --> 00:40:31,460
Please make your way
to the balcony.
993
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:33,999
- Thank you.
- Good job, Grayson.
994
00:40:33,999 --> 00:40:36,337
Grayson: I'm very sad
that blue team lost,
995
00:40:36,337 --> 00:40:37,907
but I think I deserve to stay
996
00:40:37,907 --> 00:40:39,577
because my cream puffs
were okay,
997
00:40:39,577 --> 00:40:42,315
and I have so much more
998
00:40:42,315 --> 00:40:44,186
to show the judges
in this competition.
999
00:40:44,186 --> 00:40:46,691
That leaves A'Dan and Abir.
1000
00:40:46,691 --> 00:40:49,631
Now, let's be honest,
one of your desserts tonight
1001
00:40:49,631 --> 00:40:53,004
looked like
something I'd pick up
after walking the dog.
1002
00:40:54,339 --> 00:40:57,278
The other dessert
was somewhat overcooked
1003
00:40:57,278 --> 00:40:59,483
and completely missed the mark.
1004
00:40:59,483 --> 00:41:01,955
A'Dan, Abir, this was
a very tough decision.
1005
00:41:02,823 --> 00:41:05,094
We've discussed it at length
1006
00:41:05,094 --> 00:41:07,198
and we feel the person
1007
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:09,036
that will no longer
be continuing
1008
00:41:09,036 --> 00:41:11,675
in this competition is...
1009
00:41:14,446 --> 00:41:18,087
Abir. I'm sorry, young man.
1010
00:41:18,087 --> 00:41:19,423
A'Dan:
I'm mad at myself
1011
00:41:19,423 --> 00:41:21,060
'cause I know I could show
the judges better.
1012
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:24,299
But I am super happy
to be safe from elimination.
1013
00:41:24,299 --> 00:41:27,472
Gordon:
Abir, you know, young man,
1014
00:41:27,472 --> 00:41:29,109
you tried to pull off
something tonight
1015
00:41:29,109 --> 00:41:32,750
that a lot of professional
pastry chefs couldn't do.
1016
00:41:32,750 --> 00:41:35,488
But let me tell you,
throughout this competition,
1017
00:41:35,488 --> 00:41:37,459
you've wowed me
with your flavors.
1018
00:41:37,459 --> 00:41:40,866
You're only ten, right?
1019
00:41:40,866 --> 00:41:42,636
And if you're
this good at ten,
1020
00:41:42,636 --> 00:41:44,373
can you imagine
how good you'll be at 15?
1021
00:41:44,373 --> 00:41:48,014
Daphne:
Abir, we've been so impressed
with you along the way,
1022
00:41:48,014 --> 00:41:50,351
and we tasted
your tough cookie this evening.
1023
00:41:50,351 --> 00:41:52,923
But we've seen you
be a tough cookie
from day one here.
1024
00:41:52,923 --> 00:41:56,698
Yeah, Abir, I love
your sensitivity and your
thoughtfulness with food.
1025
00:41:56,698 --> 00:41:59,704
Because those are signs
and very reflective
of a great chef,
1026
00:41:59,704 --> 00:42:03,779
and I think you need
to continue to cultivate that
and pursue that dream.
1027
00:42:03,779 --> 00:42:05,448
Because you're gonna get there
no matter what.
1028
00:42:05,448 --> 00:42:06,985
Come and say good-bye,
young man.
1029
00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:09,690
I'm gonna miss you, bud.
1030
00:42:09,690 --> 00:42:12,062
Huh? Come on. Oh, boy.
1031
00:42:12,062 --> 00:42:14,567
I'm really disappointed
that I have to go home
1032
00:42:14,567 --> 00:42:16,571
a lot earlier than I wanted to.
1033
00:42:16,571 --> 00:42:18,274
I wanted to make it
all the way to the end.
1034
00:42:18,274 --> 00:42:20,546
But, I mean,
top eight is amazing.
1035
00:42:20,546 --> 00:42:23,117
I beat out so many
other chefs to be here.
1036
00:42:23,117 --> 00:42:24,821
( all shouting )
1037
00:42:24,821 --> 00:42:27,560
And I'm definitely really proud
of what I've achieved.
1038
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,196
I am never gonna give up.
1039
00:42:29,196 --> 00:42:32,770
I still want to open up
a little ice cream shop.
1040
00:42:32,770 --> 00:42:35,843
It was just a great experience
being here.
1041
00:42:36,878 --> 00:42:38,982
Gordon: Next time on
"MasterChef Junior"...
1042
00:42:38,982 --> 00:42:41,353
( all screaming )
1043
00:42:41,353 --> 00:42:44,092
- What the heck is that?
- Oh, my God!
1044
00:42:44,092 --> 00:42:47,332
- Cruz: An ostrich?
- feathers fly...
1045
00:42:47,332 --> 00:42:50,338
Each of you will have to cook
with a different type of egg.
1046
00:42:50,338 --> 00:42:54,212
- Whoo!
- ...in egg-streme battle
for immunity.
1047
00:42:54,212 --> 00:42:55,616
Oh, wow.
1048
00:42:55,616 --> 00:42:56,851
Hammer time.
1049
00:42:56,918 --> 00:43:01,326
And it's a beefy elimination
that sends one young cook home.
1050
00:43:01,326 --> 00:43:04,032
Aarón: This is what happens
when you touch the side.
1051
00:43:04,032 --> 00:43:05,702
( buzzer )
