This was... This was tough. 950 00:43:30,283 --> 00:43:32,843 I know things could have been significantly better. 951 00:43:32,843 --> 00:43:35,083 Could you do better? Yes, I could. 952 00:43:35,083 --> 00:43:36,763 Am I disappointed? Yes, I am. 953 00:43:36,763 --> 00:43:41,283 But we can't do anything to change it now. 954 00:43:41,283 --> 00:43:44,123 I think our team are at risk. I think we did an amazing job, 955 00:43:44,123 --> 00:43:48,283 but there's no doubt that there's definitely big mistakes 956 00:43:48,283 --> 00:43:49,843 that could cost us. 957 00:44:24,923 --> 00:44:28,003 - Right, good morning. - Morning. 958 00:44:28,003 --> 00:44:31,123 OK. This week was all about sending you back to basics. 959 00:44:31,123 --> 00:44:32,523 For your first challenge, 960 00:44:32,523 --> 00:44:35,683 I asked all of you to fillet and portion salmon - 961 00:44:35,683 --> 00:44:38,443 following my instructions right to the letter. 962 00:44:38,443 --> 00:44:43,763 Then, all of you were asked to host an amazing forest feast 963 00:44:43,763 --> 00:44:48,083 in two teams. When I set that challenge in the middle 964 00:44:48,083 --> 00:44:49,843 of that stunning forest, 965 00:44:49,843 --> 00:44:54,123 I told all of you to give your guests an experience 966 00:44:54,123 --> 00:44:56,283 they would never, ever forget. 967 00:44:56,283 --> 00:44:59,323 It's safe to say both teams did just that. 968 00:45:00,643 --> 00:45:05,403 I'm starting to feel that a few of you are hiding in this process... 969 00:45:06,563 --> 00:45:10,003 ..hoping that you'd sneak through these challenges unnoticed. 970 00:45:10,003 --> 00:45:14,203 And that's not going to fly with me, because, in business, we need 971 00:45:14,203 --> 00:45:18,323 clarity, understanding and great communication. 972 00:45:18,323 --> 00:45:20,123 - Is that clear? - Yes. 973 00:45:20,123 --> 00:45:21,643 Thank you. 974 00:45:21,643 --> 00:45:24,883 Let's start with the Green Team. 975 00:45:24,883 --> 00:45:27,763 Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. 976 00:45:27,763 --> 00:45:30,043 Have you worked out which one it is yet? Yes, Gordon. 977 00:45:30,043 --> 00:45:32,483 Thank God for that. Yes, just about. 978 00:45:32,483 --> 00:45:34,643 Matthew, you obviously stepped up and took the lead. 979 00:45:34,643 --> 00:45:39,043 This was your moment to shine, yes? Absolutely. I like managing teams and I felt like it was 980 00:45:39,043 --> 00:45:42,923 a time for me to step up and to show what I can do. 981 00:45:42,923 --> 00:45:45,963 The customers were after a wonderful experience, right? Yeah. Yeah. 982 00:45:45,963 --> 00:45:51,363 Leah, at one point, you offered the only vegetarian a hat to wear. 983 00:45:51,363 --> 00:45:52,563 What were you thinking? 984 00:45:52,563 --> 00:45:55,403 It came out my mouth and I couldn't get it back in and I can only 985 00:45:55,403 --> 00:45:57,723 apologise. I'm so sorry. 986 00:45:57,723 --> 00:46:01,163 How did we get into the state like that with the venison, 987 00:46:01,163 --> 00:46:03,403 cos that was shambolic? 988 00:46:03,403 --> 00:46:06,403 I fucked it up. Full responsibility for it. 989 00:46:06,403 --> 00:46:11,283 You know, once I got into it, I dealt with it well by getting it back on there and cooking it. 990 00:46:11,283 --> 00:46:12,523 But, yeah... 991 00:46:13,803 --> 00:46:16,003 OK, moving on to the Red Team. 992 00:46:17,283 --> 00:46:20,403 Question - did anyone step up and take the lead in your team? 993 00:46:20,403 --> 00:46:23,883 I think within our team, Jen took that responsibility. 994 00:46:23,883 --> 00:46:25,843 Is that right, Jen? Yeah. 995 00:46:25,843 --> 00:46:28,803 And the reason that I stepped up was not necessarily 996 00:46:28,803 --> 00:46:30,923 because that's my strong point. 997 00:46:30,923 --> 00:46:33,483 The reason that I did it was because we've got some strong 998 00:46:33,483 --> 00:46:38,243 characters, and I felt like I could play a good role in bringing people 999 00:46:38,243 --> 00:46:41,483 together and keeping them positive. Go back to the strong characters, 1000 00:46:41,483 --> 00:46:42,683 you're right. 1001 00:46:42,683 --> 00:46:46,883 It was so obvious there was friction going on. 1002 00:46:46,883 --> 00:46:48,323 Bola and Asher, 1003 00:46:48,323 --> 00:46:50,163 can you explain what this was, please? 1004 00:46:50,163 --> 00:46:52,203 I can absolutely explain. Truthfully, now. 1005 00:46:52,203 --> 00:46:54,243 Don't sugar-coat it. Just tell me the truth. 1006 00:46:54,243 --> 00:46:57,243 I felt like every time I brought an idea to the table, it was always 1007 00:46:57,243 --> 00:47:01,483 cast aside. And I just really felt frustrated and I felt I needed 1008 00:47:01,483 --> 00:47:04,523 to speak up, cos otherwise, it would continue. 1009 00:47:04,523 --> 00:47:07,283 I strongly disagree. We completely disagree with that, Gordon. 1010 00:47:07,283 --> 00:47:10,523 There was a running... You said... There was a running theme throughout. 1011 00:47:10,523 --> 00:47:13,243 You do not listen, you are not good enough 1012 00:47:13,243 --> 00:47:15,283 and your ideas are terrible. 1013 00:47:17,163 --> 00:47:20,243 Kitchen Team - Michelle, Amit, Valentina - 1014 00:47:20,243 --> 00:47:22,443 who wanted rabbit and why? 1015 00:47:23,763 --> 00:47:26,163 I'll be honest, Gordon, I thought, OK, it's going 1016 00:47:26,163 --> 00:47:27,483 to be a little like chicken. 1017 00:47:27,483 --> 00:47:29,043 It's a protein I haven't cooked with. 1018 00:47:29,043 --> 00:47:31,923 It would have been a showstopper if you'd nailed it. Yeah, I know. 1019 00:47:31,923 --> 00:47:34,683 But if you've never fricking cooked the thing, I don't understand. 1020 00:47:34,683 --> 00:47:37,683 In all your businesses today, there's no way on Earth 1021 00:47:37,683 --> 00:47:40,483 any of you would take a risk using something in your business 1022 00:47:40,483 --> 00:47:42,403 you've never, ever worked with. 1023 00:47:42,403 --> 00:47:45,203 And then we didn't serve two of our guests. 1024 00:47:45,203 --> 00:47:46,803 I'm disappointed in myself. 1025 00:47:46,803 --> 00:47:50,363 Listen, I've heard enough. Time to reveal the results. 1026 00:47:55,003 --> 00:47:58,083 Right, let's start off with the Green Team first. 1027 00:47:58,083 --> 00:48:02,483 Out of the 12 customers who came to your event... 1028 00:48:02,483 --> 00:48:04,003 HE SIGHS 1029 00:48:05,323 --> 00:48:08,603 ..seven of them said it was good value for money. 1030 00:48:08,603 --> 00:48:10,243 Just over half. 1031 00:48:11,843 --> 00:48:14,723 Now the Red Team.

Yes. ..back again. 1079 00:50:40,763 --> 00:50:45,123 Yes. There were two quite simple jobs across this challenge - 1080 00:50:45,123 --> 00:50:49,563 learn your dishes and keep your guests fed and happy. 1081 00:50:49,563 --> 00:50:54,203 Yeah. You didn't do either. Why? I was trying to make sure those guests were happy. I was trying to 1082 00:50:54,203 --> 00:50:57,363 make sure those guests had drinks. I was trying to keep them entertained. 1083 00:50:57,363 --> 00:51:00,203 The Chefs Team didn't want to know, and I was the only one 1084 00:51:00,203 --> 00:51:03,283 that was trying to get all of the food out there, as well. 1085 00:51:03,283 --> 00:51:05,483 What you're saying now is that you made no faults? 1086 00:51:05,483 --> 00:51:07,883 No, I did make faults and I took complete ownership of that. 1087 00:51:07,883 --> 00:51:09,803 I made faults on the gazpacho. Yes. 1088 00:51:09,803 --> 00:51:12,603 I was nervous at the very... Stop there for two seconds. 1089 00:51:12,603 --> 00:51:16,123 How the hell did we serve honey to a vegan? 1090 00:51:16,123 --> 00:51:18,443 I know, I'm mortified for that. I'm sorry. 1091 00:51:21,683 --> 00:51:25,563 Bola, second week in a row, we're sat here. 1092 00:51:25,563 --> 00:51:28,123 Painful. Yeah, very painful. 1093 00:51:28,123 --> 00:51:30,203 Two simple jobs on that day - 1094 00:51:30,203 --> 00:51:34,163 learn your dishes and keep your guests fed and happy. 1095 00:51:34,163 --> 00:51:36,563 I learnt my dishes. You got it wrong. 1096 00:51:36,563 --> 00:51:40,283 Customers said to me they were unsure to what they were eating. 1097 00:51:40,283 --> 00:51:43,003 Out of the three of you running front of house... Yes. 1098 00:51:43,003 --> 00:51:45,403 ..what happened to that team spirit? 1099 00:51:45,403 --> 00:51:49,203 Last week, I promised you that I would step up and I would make sure 1100 00:51:49,203 --> 00:51:52,883 that my voice was heard and not necessarily fade away in the back. 1101 00:51:52,883 --> 00:51:56,363 It's unfortunate that, somehow, they thought I was being negative 1102 00:51:56,363 --> 00:52:00,523 or putting them down, but it was really, really for the better 1103 00:52:00,523 --> 00:52:01,723 for the team. 1104 00:52:02,803 --> 00:52:07,963 Jen, I identified two key problems across this challenge - 1105 00:52:07,963 --> 00:52:11,403 the service and a total communication breakdown. 1106 00:52:12,443 --> 00:52:13,683 Why? 1107 00:52:13,683 --> 00:52:18,163 Very early on, we had a total clashing of characters. 1108 00:52:18,163 --> 00:52:23,283 I basically decided to step up and try and defuse the situation. 1109 00:52:23,283 --> 00:52:26,483 Customers did not want to come and experience a toxic relationship 1110 00:52:26,483 --> 00:52:28,243 front of house. I totally agree. 1111 00:52:28,243 --> 00:52:30,963 If I hadn't have done that, it would have been a lot worse. 1112 00:52:30,963 --> 00:52:32,243 We got worse, Jen. 1113 00:52:32,243 --> 00:52:35,643 As the lunch progressed, customers were served incorrectly. 1114 00:52:35,643 --> 00:52:39,083 Food was coming out - we didn't know the description...
