1
00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:02,936
Previously on "MasterChef:
Global Gauntlet"...

2
00:00:02,969 --> 00:00:05,105
- Lift!
- ( gasping )

3
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:08,742
You have to create a beautiful
chocolate dessert.

4
00:00:08,775 --> 00:00:11,011
- I am not a baker.
- That's no good. That's burnt.

5
00:00:11,077 --> 00:00:13,346
- Don't send me home.
- Julia's not looking good.

6
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:16,082
I have no time to freak out.
I need to pivot.

7
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:19,285
I made a Sicilian
chocolate ricotta cake.

8
00:00:19,352 --> 00:00:21,254
- I love everything
that's on the plate.
- Great job.

9
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:24,090
- Congratulations, Julia!
- Oh, my God!

10
00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:27,127
First win for Europe?
I am on cloud nine.

11
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:31,264
- I have made
chocolate Bajan cake.
- It's dry.

12
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:33,500
Tonight I made for you guys
a five-spice brownie.

13
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,336
It's not working.
It is a double elimination.

14
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:39,339
Daniel and Brittany,
say goodbye.

15
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:43,476
Tonight on "MasterChef:
Global Gauntlet"...

16
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,247
- Let's go, Africa.
- ...the top 15 take on
a brand new challenge.

17
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:52,419
- Wheel Of Fusion!
- Yo, this is crazy, bro.

18
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:56,423
You'll fuse whatever
cuisine that lands on with
your own culture.

19
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:59,025
- Oh, God.
- But Julia's big advantage...

20
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,895
- I've never
made frog legs before.
- That's going to be good.

21
00:01:01,961 --> 00:01:03,396
...leads to a shocking twist.

22
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:05,230
- What the heck
is happening right now?
- It's game over.

23
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:07,167
- Wow.
- Julia came to play!

24
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:10,437
You are both eliminated
from the MasterChef kitchen.

25
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:18,878
( music playing )

26
00:01:23,717 --> 00:01:26,052
Here we go.

27
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:29,289
- I'm excited
for this one tonight.
- Me, too!

28
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:32,158
- Let's go, Americas!
- All right.

29
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,394
- Welcome back, guys!
- Oh, yeah!

30
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:36,796
- Yes! Let's go, Africa!
- Go, Afro!

31
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:39,299
Dave: I feel great.
I've made it to the top 14.

32
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:40,467
And now that the numbers
are dwindling,

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,004
I am grateful that we still
have four people on our team.

34
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:45,939
I like being up here.
This is nice.

35
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:48,008
Dave:
But in this competition,

36
00:01:48,041 --> 00:01:50,143
I have been kind of
in the middle,

37
00:01:50,176 --> 00:01:52,445
and so it is time
to step up my game.

38
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:55,148
I'm not at the top 10 yet,
but I'm heading there.

39
00:01:55,181 --> 00:01:57,450
Right. Welcome back,
ladies and gentlemen.

40
00:01:57,484 --> 00:02:00,487
Julia, good news is
you've got immunity tonight.

41
00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:04,424
- Yes, Chef.
- And a big advantage
to play later.

42
00:02:04,457 --> 00:02:07,861
- I'm excited.
- All right, guys,
for tonight's challenge,

43
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:12,065
- you will be going a little bit
out of your comfort zone.
- ( groaning )

44
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:14,434
Because for most
of this competition

45
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:18,171
you've been cooking
with flavors you know well.

46
00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:21,441
Tonight, you don't get
that luxury.

47
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:25,111
- That's right.
- Oh, my goodness.

48
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:27,514
Ooh, y'all aren't ready.

49
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:33,119
- What in the world?
- ( overlapping chatter )

50
00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:36,056
Is it going to be by country?

51
00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:40,527
Now you're probably all curious
about this incredible wheel.

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,595
Yeah.

53
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:45,665
This is the...

54
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:48,702
Wheel Of Fusion!

55
00:02:48,802 --> 00:02:51,137
- Oh, my gosh.
- Whoo!

56
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:55,375
One representative from
your territory will come up
and spin the wheel.

57
00:02:55,408 --> 00:02:59,245
Whatever cuisine that lands on,
you'll take the country

58
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,248
and fuse the cuisine
of your own culture.

59
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:04,918
- Oh, God.
- What the hell's
Australian food?

60
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,354
I'm looking at
some of these countries and
the first thought is

61
00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:08,455
well,
some of these look familiar.

62
00:03:08,621 --> 00:03:13,126
But then I kind of see some that
don't look quite as familiar,

63
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,528
like Sweden and Australia.

64
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:17,931
I'm coming off of two weeks
straight in the bottom,

65
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:22,102
so I don't know what
I would do if we got some
of these countries.

66
00:03:22,168 --> 00:03:24,971
Right, let's find out which
cuisine you're going to get.

67
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,907
Okay, first up, Europe.
Who wants to the step up?

68
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:30,243
- I'll go up and spin the wheel.
- You can go. You can go.

69
00:03:30,276 --> 00:03:33,046
- Absolutely!
- Here we go, Basia.

70
00:03:33,113 --> 00:03:34,647
- Are you ready?
- I'm so ready.

71
00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:37,417
- Let's go.
- You go, girl.

72
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:38,518
- Good spin.
- Oh, wow.

73
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:41,388
Please do not get Australia.
I swear.

74
00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:43,123
- Uh-oh.
- ( murmuring )

75
00:03:43,156 --> 00:03:45,859
- ( gasping, shouting )
- No!

76
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:47,127
( shouting continues )

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,130
- No!
- ( screaming )

78
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,900
Oh, my God! Whoo!

79
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:56,302
That's a great spin, Basia!

80
00:03:56,336 --> 00:03:59,539
- Gordon: Okay, so, Europe...
- Yes. Oh, my gosh.

81
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:02,542
...with the fusion
of Japanese cuisine.

82
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:06,279
- Oh, I'm ready.
- Right, next up,
Team Asia-Pacific.

83
00:04:06,312 --> 00:04:07,080
- Who's going to spin?
- Me.

84
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:09,182
- Both: Aishu.
- Aishu, let's go.

85
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:11,284
- Let's go!
- There you go.

86
00:04:11,317 --> 00:04:13,520
- Yes.
- There you go.

87
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:18,291
( yelping )
No, no, no, no!

88
00:04:18,324 --> 00:04:20,959
- Aishu: Okay.
- Gordon: Wow. Congratulations.

89
00:04:20,994 --> 00:04:24,597
Asia-Pacific with a French
inspired fusion dish. Wow.

90
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:25,598
We're okay with it.
We're okay with it.

91
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:27,334
That's good.
I think it's good.

92
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:30,203
Right, up next, the Americas.

93
00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:32,305
- I'll take this one.
- Let's go.

94
00:04:32,339 --> 00:04:34,908
- Please get us something good.
- All right.

95
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,514
- Gordon: Here we go.
- Peter: Nigerian.

96
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:44,150
Gordon: And Nigerian!

97
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:48,521
- The look on Maria's face.
- I've never cooked Nigerian!

98
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,657
- Team Africa, let's go.
- Okay.

99
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:52,926
- Let's go, Rita.
- Go, Rita.

100
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:54,427
Gordon: Spin away.

101
00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:01,835
Gordon: Oh, man.

102
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:05,205
- Greek.
- Yes!

103
00:05:05,238 --> 00:05:07,474
- I like Greek.
- Yeah, that's good.

104
00:05:07,507 --> 00:05:10,977
So the Americas
have got Nigerian.

105
00:05:11,011 --> 00:05:13,213
Africa, they got Greek.

106
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:15,415
Europe got Japanese.

107
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:18,752
And Asia-Pacific got French.

108
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:24,257
And, Julia, now it's time to
talk about your big advantage.

109
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:27,360
You get to pick
any territory

110
00:05:27,394 --> 00:05:30,363
and reassign
their fusion cuisine

111
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:33,667
- to any available country.
- ( laughing )

112
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:35,001
- Come on down.
Come and stand next to me here.
- Okay.

113
00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:38,772
This is a huge advantage.
I could put a different
territory

114
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:40,840
that I want to target
in a really bad position.

115
00:05:40,874 --> 00:05:42,642
All right, Julia.

116
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:43,610
Gordon: Right, Julia,
what are you thinking?

117
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:47,247
I'm thinking the territory
I'm deciding to change

118
00:05:47,313 --> 00:05:51,051
is very strong,
and I want to see how
they would handle this one.

119
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:54,387
Love that. And the territory
you're choosing is?

120
00:05:54,421 --> 00:05:56,289
I'm changing Africa's.

121
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,657
- Yeah, thank you.
- Gordon: Wow.

122
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,392
- Thank you very much.
- Two in a row?

123
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:01,194
- Come on!
- What's up with this?

124
00:06:01,227 --> 00:06:05,098
So, tell us where you are
putting Africa, please.

125
00:06:05,131 --> 00:06:07,400
Keep it respectful,
please, Julia. Respectful.

126
00:06:07,434 --> 00:06:10,403
- I wish you guys luck.
- Peter: Don't do that.

127
00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:12,706
- Peter: Oh, my--
- Gordon: Australia.

128
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:15,375
- Yo, this is crazy, bro.
- I'm cool.

129
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:19,346
- Julia came to play!
- Head up to the safety
of the balcony.

130
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,582
Dave: I am a little concerned.
I know nothing about
Australian food.

131
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,752
I think of, like, dangerous
animals and kangaroos.

132
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:29,422
I'm like, seafood maybe?
I'm totally not sure.

133
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:32,759
Here's the good news.
Tonight, you'll have one hour

134
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:35,128
to create an exciting
fusion dish.

135
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:37,764
Then we'll taste the best dishes
from every territory

136
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:42,135
and the winning home cook will
earn the incredible immunity pin

137
00:06:42,168 --> 00:06:47,107
and keep their entire territory
safe from elimination tonight.

138
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,509
Now, if your dish
isn't in the top tonight,

139
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:53,713
sadly, you are in danger
of being eliminated.

140
00:06:53,747 --> 00:06:55,615
- Right, everybody ready?
- Yes, Chef.

141
00:06:55,648 --> 00:06:58,351
Your time starts now!

142
00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:01,755
Let's go, guys. Let's go.

143
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:05,592
- All right.
- Behind.

144
00:07:05,625 --> 00:07:09,329
- Sesame seeds?
- Aghata, check to your right.

145
00:07:09,362 --> 00:07:12,532
I cooked long grain rice
the other day.

146
00:07:12,565 --> 00:07:16,469
Tkaiya:
Team Americas got Nigeria.
I'm feeling pretty stressed.

147
00:07:16,503 --> 00:07:18,338
That's the thing
about the MasterChef kitchen,

148
00:07:18,371 --> 00:07:22,275
it takes me out
of my comfort zone.

149
00:07:22,342 --> 00:07:24,177
Okay.

150
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:27,447
But Africa has a lot of
influence in Jamaican cuisine.

151
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,519
So I am putting
a beautiful blend of Jamaican
and Nigerian spices

152
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:35,488
to create jollof rice,
suya spiced lamb,

153
00:07:35,522 --> 00:07:38,491
with mango chutney
and plantains.

154
00:07:38,525 --> 00:07:41,361
Okay, okay, okay.

155
00:07:41,394 --> 00:07:45,665
Oh, my gosh. Ooh!
All right.

156
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:48,635
Jaime, what's your fusion again?

157
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:51,504
Oh, very nice!

158
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:53,440
I'm making a laksa bowl frites

159
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,777
which is--
a laksa is a seafood broth
with coconut milk,

160
00:07:57,811 --> 00:08:00,447
and we have it in Malaysia
all the time.

161
00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:02,415
I want to bring those crazy
Malaysian flavors

162
00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:05,385
to the simplicity
of French cuisine.

163
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:07,587
So exciting tonight,
the Wheel Of Fusion.

164
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:11,524
You really just need to make
sure you stay true to yourself
and your culture,

165
00:08:11,558 --> 00:08:14,694
but also fuse in--
whether that's spices,

166
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:16,863
whether that's proteins,
from the other.

167
00:08:18,698 --> 00:08:21,735
Love it. Gingery.

168
00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:25,672
Gordon: Africa originally
tonight got Greek,

169
00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:28,208
and then Julia came along
and gave them Australia.

170
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,944
- Ooh, that was good gameplay.
- No one saw that
one coming, did they?

171
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:36,249
No. I think a lot of people
just don't know what to expect
with Australian cuisine, right?

172
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:40,754
And it's unfamiliar. Obviously,
tons of seafood, lamb.

173
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,255
Heidi, you're not making
kangaroo, are you?

174
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:46,359
Yeah, yeah.
I'm making some kangaroo.
Kangaroo carpaccio.

175
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:48,862
Ah, of course.
That's going to be good.

176
00:08:48,895 --> 00:08:52,699
We are ten minutes down.
50 minutes remaining.

177
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:54,734
Come on, let's go.

178
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:57,103
Blast chiller, you think,
for the dough?

179
00:08:59,005 --> 00:09:01,007
- Basia. Very well, indeed.
- How are you doing today?

180
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,576
Thank you. First of all,
on the Wheel Of Fusion,

181
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:04,644
what country
did you get to fuse?

182
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:06,713
We got Japan!

183
00:09:06,746 --> 00:09:10,583
I'm making miso glazed cod

184
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:13,920
with a beet and parsnip pur\e

185
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:17,857
and with a yuzu beurre blanc
and chive oil.

186
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,026
Love that.
What do you do with that sake?
Drinking it?

187
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,295
I mean, I would love to drink it
right now, but I can't.

188
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:24,731
- I've got to cook.
- Take a little sip.
You'll be fine.

189
00:09:24,764 --> 00:09:25,799
- Okay, okay.
- Have you tried that before?

190
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:29,602
Like, who doesn't love sake?
Cheers.

191
00:09:29,636 --> 00:09:31,738
Where's mine?
What, you just do it
on your own?

192
00:09:31,771 --> 00:09:32,806
Oh, you're drinking it?

193
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:34,874
You have to drink it
with him, Basia.

194
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,811
Let's go, girl.
What are you doing with this?

195
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:43,817
- Why are you shouting at me?
- Sorry, I'm so excited.
I'm pumped.

196
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:48,621
Oh, my gosh.
Gordon drank with me.
Yeah! Oh, yes!

197
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:51,624
It sounds simple.
Don't go crazy on that pur\e.

198
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,026
- Okay.
- A nice little swish.

199
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:54,794
- Just a little bit.
- Just a touch.

200
00:09:54,894 --> 00:09:56,529
- Don't go crazy, yes?
- Thank you. Thank you, Chef.

201
00:09:56,563 --> 00:09:57,530
Okay, I'm ready
to rock and roll.

202
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:59,232
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Chef.

203
00:10:02,235 --> 00:10:03,670
Come on.

204
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,772
What the heck is happening
right now?

205
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:07,107
- I've got the wrong thing.
- Hey, Dave.

206
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:10,310
- Hi, Joe. How are you?
- All right, so what
are you making?

207
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:13,713
So I'm doing a Moroccan take
on an Australian meat pie.

208
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:17,650
The mince inside is going
to be a very traditional
Moroccan mince.

209
00:10:17,684 --> 00:10:18,585
We're going to make
a very traditional

210
00:10:18,651 --> 00:10:21,254
Australian short crust
for the pie itself.

211
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:23,790
So you'll see Australia,
but taste Morocco.

212
00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:25,959
Okay, so the pastry
has to be cooked, not raw,

213
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:26,926
- and not too dense.
- Exactly.

214
00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:29,662
And another thing important,
let it rest.

215
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:30,864
- Yes. Yes.
- Let it rest.

216
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:33,933
- Okay.
Thank you for the advice.
- Okay, good luck.

217
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:38,805
Has to be rich flavor.

218
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:43,176
Gordon: 15 minutes gone,
45 minutes to go.

219
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:44,811
Come on, let's go!

220
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:46,746
Dave, don't forget your pastry
in the blast chiller.

221
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,616
Oh, no.
Okay, thank you, Hei--

222
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:53,353
Heidi reminds me to go check
my dough in the blast chiller,
and in that moment,

223
00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:55,955
I realize I have no idea
how long it's been in there.

224
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,490
- ( bleep )
- As soon as I touch it,

225
00:10:57,524 --> 00:11:01,027
- I'm like,
it feels way too hard.
- Oh, my God.

226
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:04,030
I wanted to get the pie in
at the 45 minute mark,

227
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:07,600
but with the cold frozen dough,
it's going to be later.

228
00:11:07,701 --> 00:11:10,036
Okay. Oh, God.

229
00:11:10,103 --> 00:11:13,039
I need to get this in
the oven as soon as possible.

230
00:11:13,106 --> 00:11:15,575
If I give these judges
undercooked pastry,

231
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:17,243
it's game over.

232
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,092
Gordon: Guys, 20 minutes gone,
just under 40 minutes remaining!

233
00:11:33,793 --> 00:11:36,429
- The dough looks good, Dave.
- Thanks, Julia.

234
00:11:36,463 --> 00:11:38,765
I'm warming up my dough because
it was in the blast chiller

235
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,634
for too long,
and it does seem to be working,

236
00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:42,902
but I still
have to move quickly.

237
00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:43,970
I need to start
assembling the pie now,

238
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:47,040
otherwise, it is not
going to be cooked in time.

239
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:48,908
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

240
00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:50,977
Every second counts.

241
00:11:54,647 --> 00:11:56,883
- She's in.
- This is an exciting one.

242
00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:58,885
All season, we've seen them
cooking from their culture,

243
00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:01,421
but tonight, it's going to add
another layer onto that.

244
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,889
Joe: When you're cooking
from your own culture,

245
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:04,024
it's instinctive,
it comes easy.

246
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:05,091
This is more difficult.

247
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:07,894
Once you have to fuse
another culture

248
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:09,896
that you may not even
be familiar with,

249
00:12:09,929 --> 00:12:12,832
then you've got to use
your mind and your technique.

250
00:12:17,037 --> 00:12:20,640
I love French food,
and getting to cook it

251
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:22,108
with Indian food
is kind of a dream.

252
00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:26,312
I am making a coq au vin
with a tomato curry

253
00:12:26,379 --> 00:12:28,581
and a saffron pomme pur\e.

254
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,583
This dish is
so important to me.

255
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:31,718
It makes me think
of my father-in-law,

256
00:12:31,818 --> 00:12:34,587
who inspired me to cook
and learn different techniques.

257
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:38,792
Um, my father-in-law
passed away really suddenly
in a car accident.

258
00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:43,730
You know, I never really
got to tell him how much
he inspired me to cook.

259
00:12:43,797 --> 00:12:45,965
That's how we talked
with each other.

260
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:48,134
My father-in-law always
loved my passion for cooking,

261
00:12:48,201 --> 00:12:50,904
and I am making
this dish for him.

262
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:55,542
Oh, a little bit more.
A little bit more.

263
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,978
- How are you doing today?
- Hey, Jake. All right, what
you got going on here?

264
00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:01,648
I'm going with Nigerian
and Mexican flavors.

265
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:04,084
Right here, I got what's going
to be a black-eyed pea curry.

266
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,653
I got some cassava in here.
I'm making stuffed fufu.

267
00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:09,956
And then that beautiful protein
is going to be a chicken roulade

268
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,825
stuffed with collards, chorizo.

269
00:13:11,858 --> 00:13:13,159
There's a lot going on,

270
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,095
so I want you
to really think about

271
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:18,698
what's necessary to really
bring those flavors together

272
00:13:18,732 --> 00:13:20,700
instead of just
more things on a plate.

273
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:22,535
- Are you hearing me?
- Yes, Chef.

274
00:13:22,569 --> 00:13:25,438
- All right, good luck, Jake.
- Thank you very much, Chef.

275
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,142
- Hello, Rita.
- Hi. Hello. How are you doing?

276
00:13:29,242 --> 00:13:31,277
Okay, so we have Nigeria
and Australia.

277
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:34,714
- What dish are you making?
- Today, I'm making jollof rice,

278
00:13:34,748 --> 00:13:36,149
and I'm also infusing
the vegemite in it.

279
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:37,183
- Vegemite?
- Yes. Have you ever eaten
vegemite before?

280
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:40,153
- Have you ever smelled it?
- No, I just-- no.

281
00:13:40,186 --> 00:13:42,122
- It's super dense.
- Yes.

282
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,724
It's very, very caloric,
very rich in nutrients.

283
00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:45,892
It's a very particular flavor.

284
00:13:45,925 --> 00:13:46,793
So you're going to
put this in jollof rice?

285
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,294
- Yes. I am.
- Interesting.

286
00:13:48,395 --> 00:13:50,430
- What's the protein
you're going to use?
- I'm doing lamb.

287
00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:52,866
So make sure--
you want to render the fat,

288
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:54,567
but you want to make it
medium-rare, right?

289
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:56,369
- Yes.
- All right, good luck.
Hope it works out.

290
00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:57,937
Thank you very much.

291
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,409
( broad accent ) Peter!
Hey, mate. How are things
going down under?

292
00:14:02,442 --> 00:14:04,911
( normal voice )
What do you think about
getting Australia?

293
00:14:05,011 --> 00:14:07,580
Well, Australia uses a lot
of fish, chips, and beer.

294
00:14:07,614 --> 00:14:11,151
So I want to do
a beer battered cod
for the fish,

295
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:13,687
and then
I'll have fried plantain
from my Nigeria culture,

296
00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:14,821
as well as an ata dindin sauce.

297
00:14:14,888 --> 00:14:18,158
- You've made
fish and chips before?
- No, I haven't.

298
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:21,594
And I know Chef Ramsay is
going to be very particular.

299
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:24,230
Yeah, that's
going to be interesting to
get his take on it.

300
00:14:24,297 --> 00:14:26,332
It has to be cooked.
It has to be moist enough
and not dry.

301
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:28,902
- Yes. Yes, Joe.
- All right, well,
good luck to you.

302
00:14:28,935 --> 00:14:30,370
Thank you, Joe.
Appreciate you.

303
00:14:31,938 --> 00:14:33,373
- How's it going?
- Good, good.

304
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:34,674
Good, good? Okay.

305
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:44,184
- Mmm!
- Gordon: Shompa.

306
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:46,219
- Yes, Chef?
- Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?

307
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:48,788
So I'm going to be
doing a French

308
00:14:48,822 --> 00:14:50,623
- and Bangladeshi fusion dish.
- Nice.

309
00:14:50,657 --> 00:14:55,862
I'm making frog leg tomato
bhuna curry with a potato...

310
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:59,866
I saw frog legs,
and I thought that is the most
stereotypical French dish

311
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,802
I could ever think of,
and I've never made
frog legs before.

312
00:15:02,869 --> 00:15:04,671
- This is my first time.
- You've never cooked
with frog's legs?

313
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:07,340
They overcook,
and they go very dry,
so be careful.

314
00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:10,944
Olive oil, saut\, saut\, saut\,
salt, pepper in there.

315
00:15:10,977 --> 00:15:12,979
Take them out, into the bhuna.

316
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:14,347
- Okay. Thank you.
- Good luck.

317
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:17,117
Okay. Whew.

318
00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:18,251
- Foo.
- Yes, Chef.

319
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:20,253
My man. An ace card tonight.

320
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:22,655
Vietnamese with
a French influence.

321
00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:24,290
- Come on. Think about it.
- That's a lot
of pressure, Chef.

322
00:15:24,357 --> 00:15:26,092
Right, tell me about the dish.
What you doing?

323
00:15:26,126 --> 00:15:28,628
It's a marinated duck breast
in oyster sauce.

324
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:31,297
And then I have French
roast buttered potatoes.

325
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:34,167
- Have you been to France?
- I have not, Chef.

326
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:36,136
Where have you been
for the last 49 years?

327
00:15:36,236 --> 00:15:41,641
- Cincinnati, Ohio.
- ( bleep )

328
00:15:41,675 --> 00:15:44,377
Win tonight,
you and I are going on a trip
to the Champs-Elys\es.

329
00:15:44,411 --> 00:15:47,113
- Okay? Yes.
- Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah!

330
00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:48,181
Don't slice that duck.

331
00:15:48,248 --> 00:15:49,582
I'm not going to slice it, Chef.

332
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,986
Oh, my God. Foo, come on.

333
00:15:54,587 --> 00:15:58,291
I need to taste this. Mmm.

334
00:15:58,391 --> 00:15:59,993
It's looking good, Europe.
You guys are looking good.

335
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:00,960
Thank you!

336
00:16:00,994 --> 00:16:05,131
Gordon: 40 minutes down,
20 minutes remaining.

337
00:16:07,701 --> 00:16:10,070
From the Africa territory,
Rita, interesting,

338
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:14,874
is doing kind of like a classic
herb crusted rack of lamb,
which would be Australian.

339
00:16:14,941 --> 00:16:17,677
And then of course, for Nigeria,
she's making jollof rice.

340
00:16:17,711 --> 00:16:20,280
Actually, if you think about it,
lamb and jollof rice

341
00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:22,716
- together could be excellent.
- Absolutely.

342
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:25,085
It's just that the lamb needs
to be a perfect medium-rare.

343
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:27,220
If she could pull that off,
I think that sounds like
a winning dish.

344
00:16:27,287 --> 00:16:28,788
- Sure.
- Absolutely.

345
00:16:31,524 --> 00:16:32,792
Oof.

346
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:51,144
Come on.
Stop playing with me.

347
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:06,192
45 down, 15 minutes to go.

348
00:17:06,226 --> 00:17:09,295
- ( bleep )
- Get in there.

349
00:17:13,967 --> 00:17:15,268
Oh, crap. No.

350
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:25,145
Is she about to pan-sear it?

351
00:17:29,249 --> 00:17:30,483
- Right, Aghata.
- Hi.

352
00:17:30,517 --> 00:17:31,418
Tell me about
the Japanese influence.

353
00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:34,988
I'm going to make
this sushi-grade tuna.

354
00:17:35,088 --> 00:17:36,423
I'm going to coat it
in sesame seeds,

355
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:38,391
and I'm going to make
a tuna tataki.

356
00:17:38,491 --> 00:17:41,761
So I'm going to sear it,
and then I will slice very thin,

357
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:45,799
put it on top
of this Spanish black rice
with the squid ink.

358
00:17:45,832 --> 00:17:48,835
- Gotcha. What's in here?
- Here is fish stock.

359
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:52,706
- Mm-hmm.
- I blended it with prawns,
the shrimp, shell,

360
00:17:52,772 --> 00:17:54,507
- and everything
to give a boost of flavor.
- And that's for your rice?

361
00:17:54,541 --> 00:17:55,608
You should put a couple
more ladles in there.

362
00:17:55,709 --> 00:17:57,077
I'm doing little by little
because I want to make sure.

363
00:17:57,177 --> 00:18:00,280
Yeah, a bit more.
A touch more, otherwise
it's going to be crunchy,

364
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,248
and you won't get it cooked,
so be careful now.

365
00:18:02,282 --> 00:18:04,117
- Okay. Yes. Yes, I got it.
- Yes? Good luck.

366
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:07,620
- Thank you so much.
- Come on.

367
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:12,258
- Hmm.
- Almost there.

368
00:18:12,292 --> 00:18:14,060
Think it should be ready.

369
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:16,329
- Hey! Hey, Maria.
- Hello. How are you, Chef?

370
00:18:16,396 --> 00:18:17,063
You got the pressure
cookers going.

371
00:18:17,097 --> 00:18:19,399
I got the pressure cook going.

372
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:22,135
I'm making a Nigerian
and Brazilian fusion.

373
00:18:22,168 --> 00:18:25,305
I'm making
a soy spice lamb shank

374
00:18:25,338 --> 00:18:27,941
served over mashed yucca.

375
00:18:27,974 --> 00:18:31,144
I think for you,
your biggest thing is that
lamb shank, right?

376
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:33,346
Like, having enough time
for it to really braise.

377
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:35,348
- Right.
- Really concentrate
on your flavor.

378
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:38,184
If you can get that tender,
you're doing really well.

379
00:18:38,218 --> 00:18:39,652
- Awesome. Thank you so much.
- Okay, good luck.

380
00:18:39,686 --> 00:18:41,454
Thank you.

381
00:18:41,488 --> 00:18:45,425
Gordon: Guys, we are
down to our last ten minutes.

382
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:49,295
Oh, my God,
my fries are taking forever.

383
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:52,065
All right, now I'm going
to get this started.

384
00:18:52,098 --> 00:18:54,000
It's not getting hot.
Come on.

385
00:18:54,034 --> 00:18:59,973
I would put your oven up.
Put it at the top. Do 450.

386
00:19:00,006 --> 00:19:03,109
Taking this one out.
Didn't have the right
batter consistency.

387
00:19:03,176 --> 00:19:05,311
But these should be
better hopefully.

388
00:19:05,345 --> 00:19:07,514
My day depends on these.

389
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:10,250
- Gordon: Shompa, you good?
- Yeah. It's looking good.

390
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:11,885
And make sure you taste
one of those frog legs.

391
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:15,655
- Yes, yes. I will.
- I think it's ready now.

392
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:22,062
So from Team Americas,
Maria is doing this lamb shank

393
00:19:22,095 --> 00:19:23,530
that has suya spices.

394
00:19:23,596 --> 00:19:25,532
- Gordon: In an hour?
- In an hour.

395
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:29,069
She's making sure
the Brazilian culture
and flavors

396
00:19:29,102 --> 00:19:29,869
are still in there
with Nigerian flavors.

397
00:19:29,903 --> 00:19:31,938
She's very comfortable
right now.

398
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:34,074
Gordon: I love that,
but that's a lot to do
in 60 minutes.

399
00:19:34,107 --> 00:19:35,308
Tiffany: Mm-hmm.

400
00:19:38,545 --> 00:19:43,116
Ah! I just need three slices.

401
00:19:43,149 --> 00:19:45,285
Aghata, from the territory
in Europe,

402
00:19:45,352 --> 00:19:47,520
she is doing a loin of tuna,
sesame seed crusted,

403
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:51,291
with a sort
of Spanish black rice.

404
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:53,893
But the actual rice
is not cooking properly.

405
00:19:53,927 --> 00:19:56,396
Using the squid ink
is tricky because it's not
just the coloring.

406
00:19:56,429 --> 00:20:00,133
It also gives a very iodine-y,
strong fish flavor to the rice.

407
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:01,601
- Tiffany: Yep, yep.
- Gordon: Yeah.

408
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:04,471
( groans )

409
00:20:05,638 --> 00:20:08,241
Guys, coming down
to the final two minutes.

410
00:20:08,274 --> 00:20:12,579
- Start plating, please.
- I'm gotta start plating.

411
00:20:13,847 --> 00:20:15,782
Oh, my gosh. Come on, open.

412
00:20:15,849 --> 00:20:17,017
( bleep )

413
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:22,455
- Oh, my gosh.
- Come on.

414
00:20:23,857 --> 00:20:25,325
There we go.

415
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:27,260
Oh, my God. I'm shaking.

416
00:20:27,293 --> 00:20:29,195
Oh, my God.

417
00:20:29,262 --> 00:20:31,598
- No, no, no, no!
- Anybody have a lemon?

418
00:20:31,664 --> 00:20:33,566
- Right here. Behind you.
- Beautiful.

419
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:36,403
- Peter.
- Yes, Chef? Ooh!

420
00:20:36,436 --> 00:20:39,406
Oh, that's my bad. Sorry.

421
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:42,609
Come on, Basia. You got this.

422
00:20:42,642 --> 00:20:44,778
Oh, my gosh.

423
00:20:44,811 --> 00:20:46,413
Oh, boy.

424
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:50,083
Judges:
Five, four, three, two, one.

425
00:20:50,116 --> 00:20:52,285
- Gordon: And stop!
Hands in the air.
- Hands up!

426
00:20:52,318 --> 00:20:54,421
- Well done.
- Whoo!

427
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:56,423
- Good job.
- Well done.

428
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:58,558
- That ( bleep ) looks bomb!
- Wow.

429
00:20:58,591 --> 00:21:01,161
- Maria!
- Oh, my gosh.

430
00:21:01,194 --> 00:21:02,629
- So pretty.
- Yours look amazing.

431
00:21:02,696 --> 00:21:07,233
- That was a damn cook, boy.
- ( bleep )

432
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,502
Bro, that was so hard, actually.

433
00:21:11,171 --> 00:21:12,405
No, it looks good.

434
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,478
- Can't wipe it.
- No, you can't.

435
00:21:18,511 --> 00:21:20,347
I'm literally staring
at my plate.

436
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:23,183
Looks like a crime scene.
No lie.

437
00:21:23,216 --> 00:21:24,984
God, it's like a cesspool.

438
00:21:25,018 --> 00:21:29,789
And I'm really worried that
this could be my last cook.

439
00:21:41,234 --> 00:21:42,669
What an exciting challenge.

440
00:21:42,736 --> 00:21:46,006
Not only just respecting
your own cultural heritage,

441
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:48,742
but then bringing in
a completely new influence.

442
00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:51,878
Now it's time to take
a much closer look.

443
00:21:51,945 --> 00:21:53,713
Let's go.

444
00:21:58,551 --> 00:22:01,388
So, Americas, you've got
Nigeria for your fusion.

445
00:22:01,421 --> 00:22:05,492
Maria, a whole lamb shank
in a pressure cooker.

446
00:22:05,525 --> 00:22:06,659
- Mm-hmm.
- How long did you cook it
in there for?

447
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,795
- 35 minutes.
- Thank you.

448
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:12,365
All right, Jake,
where are the black-eyed peas
at in this dish?

449
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:14,567
They are stuffed
into the fufu balls.

450
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:17,203
Okay. Thank you, Jake.

451
00:22:17,237 --> 00:22:20,774
Aghata: This challenge
was stressful because being

452
00:22:20,807 --> 00:22:23,643
out of your comfort zone
and making something new

453
00:22:23,677 --> 00:22:27,080
that I've never made before
is a little bit scary.

454
00:22:27,113 --> 00:22:29,816
Gordon: So, Africa,
you've got Australian fusion.

455
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:32,052
Um, right,
Rita, what's in here?

456
00:22:32,085 --> 00:22:36,990
Jollof fries, but I fused it
with some vegemite.

457
00:22:37,023 --> 00:22:38,558
It's a very strong extract.

458
00:22:38,591 --> 00:22:42,395
Aghata: If you don't know
how to really incorporate

459
00:22:42,429 --> 00:22:44,698
those two different
cultural backgrounds,

460
00:22:44,731 --> 00:22:47,267
the whole dish
could be compromised.

461
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,803
Hey, Peter.
What's the sauce right here?

462
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:52,405
- This is an ata dindin sauce.
- What kind of fish did you use?

463
00:22:52,439 --> 00:22:54,574
I did a cod. Thank you, Chef.

464
00:22:54,674 --> 00:22:57,711
I love Julia's decision-making
in this challenge,

465
00:22:57,744 --> 00:23:01,314
giving Team Africa Australia.

466
00:23:01,348 --> 00:23:02,682
Nobody wanted to cook
Australian food.

467
00:23:02,716 --> 00:23:03,350
- Dave.
- Hey, Dave.

468
00:23:03,383 --> 00:23:05,618
This, sadly, is undercooked.

469
00:23:05,685 --> 00:23:07,320
- It that on the bottom?
- Okay? So...

470
00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:10,223
Time did prove to be
a true challenge.

471
00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:12,926
- Thank you. Damn.
- Yes, thank you.

472
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:17,430
Team Europe
is just Basia and me.

473
00:23:17,464 --> 00:23:20,700
I am so thankful
we got Japanese cuisine.

474
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:23,303
And one of us
is going to go in the top,

475
00:23:23,336 --> 00:23:24,504
one's going to go
in the bottom,

476
00:23:24,571 --> 00:23:26,306
so that's making me nervous.

477
00:23:26,339 --> 00:23:28,775
Okay, Basia,
so the question is

478
00:23:28,842 --> 00:23:31,044
where's the water coming from?
What do you have in here?

479
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:34,180
I have beets, parsnips.

480
00:23:34,247 --> 00:23:36,149
The beet roots take longer
to cook than the parsnip.

481
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:38,251
And so by the time
the beet roots are cooked,

482
00:23:38,284 --> 00:23:40,487
the parsnips are overcooked
and it absorbs too much water.

483
00:23:40,587 --> 00:23:41,321
- ( muttering )
- So when they go on the plate,

484
00:23:41,388 --> 00:23:42,655
the water comes out
of the pasta.

485
00:23:42,722 --> 00:23:44,591
- It's as simple as that.
- Thank you.

486
00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:46,860
Okay, Aghata,
was the squid ink

487
00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:48,795
used just as an aesthetic
or do you like the flavor?

488
00:23:48,862 --> 00:23:52,665
It's a very traditional rice
we eat in Valencia.

489
00:23:52,699 --> 00:23:53,533
Mm.

490
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,603
So Asia-Pacific
got French cuisine.

491
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:58,271
Foo, what is that?

492
00:23:58,338 --> 00:24:00,507
It's a Shaoxing sauce
that I made.

493
00:24:00,607 --> 00:24:02,342
Is it supposed to look
like that?

494
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:03,710
- No, Joe.
- No.

495
00:24:03,743 --> 00:24:04,844
Mm-hmm.

496
00:24:05,979 --> 00:24:07,814
- Hey, Aishu.
- Hi.

497
00:24:07,881 --> 00:24:10,617
Did you get enough time
to braise your chicken?

498
00:24:10,650 --> 00:24:12,352
- I believe so.
- Yeah.

499
00:24:12,385 --> 00:24:15,422
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

500
00:24:15,488 --> 00:24:16,656
- Shompa.
- Hi.

501
00:24:16,690 --> 00:24:19,626
- All right. Frog legs, huh?
- Yes.

502
00:24:19,659 --> 00:24:22,095
I did a tomato frog leg bhuna.

503
00:24:22,162 --> 00:24:25,098
Should it be fragrant
and have some punch?

504
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:26,800
- Yes.
- Mm.

505
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:29,102
- All right.
- Thank you.

506
00:24:31,571 --> 00:24:33,807
Some of them have really
understood the crossover.

507
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:34,841
Joe: We have some
real fusion dishes,

508
00:24:34,908 --> 00:24:37,377
like you would see in
a professional kitchen.

509
00:24:37,410 --> 00:24:38,645
- Yeah. Definitely.
- Impressive.

510
00:24:41,381 --> 00:24:42,549
- Shall we?
- Yeah.

511
00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:45,585
Wow. Okay.

512
00:24:45,652 --> 00:24:48,922
Right, the first dish
in the top four tonight,

513
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:53,059
from Team Asia-Pacific,
please step forward...

514
00:24:54,427 --> 00:24:56,463
- Aishu! Let's go.
- Yeah!

515
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:59,733
- Let's go, Aishu! Whoo!
- Winner!

516
00:24:59,766 --> 00:25:04,337
I can't believe I'm top dish.
I just am so glad that I could
honor my father-in-law

517
00:25:04,371 --> 00:25:08,842
with this dish and still make it
an essence of my culture.

518
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:12,412
When I thought of France,
I thought of coq au vin.

519
00:25:12,445 --> 00:25:14,414
So I made
an Indian-inspired coq au vin

520
00:25:14,447 --> 00:25:16,950
with a saffron-infused
pomme pur\e.

521
00:25:16,983 --> 00:25:19,686
It has the plating of,
like, a super home dish,

522
00:25:19,719 --> 00:25:22,455
but in all the right ways.
Like, this makes my mouth water.

523
00:25:22,489 --> 00:25:24,791
- Thank you.
- Shall we?

524
00:25:31,865 --> 00:25:34,901
Wow. Aishu, it's a refreshing
take on a coq au vin.

525
00:25:34,968 --> 00:25:37,570
- Honestly.
It's delicious. Well done.
- Thank you.

526
00:25:37,604 --> 00:25:39,706
Yeah, I mean,
it has so much flavor.

527
00:25:39,739 --> 00:25:42,842
And I love the level
of the spice in here.

528
00:25:42,876 --> 00:25:44,310
This is a delicious plate
of food.

529
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:48,648
- Thank you, Chef.
- Coq au vin is really about
the fattiness of chicken

530
00:25:48,715 --> 00:25:50,617
and the acidity
and flavor of wine.

531
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:53,019
And you did that
with the masala,
with the lemon juice.

532
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:56,589
It really captures the essence
of a proper French coq au vin.

533
00:25:56,623 --> 00:25:58,658
- So great job.
- Thank you so much.

534
00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:00,627
- Thank you.
- Good job, Aishu!

535
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:02,328
- Whoo!
- Good job, Aishu!

536
00:26:02,395 --> 00:26:05,465
Culturally, she's got her own
DNA all over that, right?

537
00:26:05,498 --> 00:26:08,735
- Joe: Yeah.
- That's why it's so good.

538
00:26:08,768 --> 00:26:12,472
Okay, the top dish
from Team Europe,

539
00:26:12,505 --> 00:26:14,140
please come forward...

540
00:26:15,809 --> 00:26:17,410
- Aghata.
- All right.

541
00:26:17,477 --> 00:26:19,779
- Go, girl.
- There you go, Aghata.

542
00:26:19,879 --> 00:26:22,415
You got it.
You got it. You got it.

543
00:26:22,449 --> 00:26:26,886
I am so excited because
I haven't been in the top

544
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,221
since the first challenge.

545
00:26:28,254 --> 00:26:31,124
So this is amazing.

546
00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:32,792
So this is arroz negro.

547
00:26:32,826 --> 00:26:37,764
It's a Spanish black rice
with squid ink and tuna tataki

548
00:26:37,797 --> 00:26:39,899
and miso and ginger aioli.

549
00:26:39,933 --> 00:26:42,635
Visually, it looks lovely,
but dangerous when you throw

550
00:26:42,669 --> 00:26:44,337
a ton of saffron on the plate
because you don't

551
00:26:44,371 --> 00:26:46,706
want to eat those
strands like that, right?

552
00:26:52,912 --> 00:26:55,582
Aghata, you did so many things
well with the tuna.

553
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:59,953
I think having
the Valencia fusion
with the Japanese flavors,

554
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:01,921
it's coming through,
and it's lovely.

555
00:27:01,955 --> 00:27:04,524
- Thank you.
- I love what you did with

556
00:27:04,557 --> 00:27:05,625
the squid ink and the rice.
Very smart.

557
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:09,796
But the flavor of the tuna,
the roasted sesame seeds?

558
00:27:09,829 --> 00:27:10,463
- Delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.

559
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:12,999
Yeah, it's a very well-achieved

560
00:27:13,066 --> 00:27:15,802
restaurant level fusion dish.

561
00:27:15,835 --> 00:27:16,836
- Good job.
- Thank you, Joe.

562
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:18,204
- Thank you, Aghata.
- Thank you.

563
00:27:19,572 --> 00:27:20,774
Go, Aghata.

564
00:27:22,809 --> 00:27:25,278
I just pray there's someone
worse than me.

565
00:27:25,311 --> 00:27:26,880
There is.

566
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:30,850
Okay, the best dish
from Team Africa,

567
00:27:30,884 --> 00:27:32,886
please come forward...

568
00:27:32,952 --> 00:27:34,688
- Peter.
- Whoo!

569
00:27:34,721 --> 00:27:35,689
- All right, Pete!
- Peter!

570
00:27:35,722 --> 00:27:39,125
- Woohoo!
- Good job, Peter.

571
00:27:39,159 --> 00:27:41,094
I could pass out,
I'm so happy.

572
00:27:41,127 --> 00:27:42,028
I'm ready to show the judges

573
00:27:42,095 --> 00:27:43,830
that I'm supposed to be here,

574
00:27:43,863 --> 00:27:44,698
and I'm here to win.

575
00:27:44,731 --> 00:27:46,700
Today, I made a wattleseed

576
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:47,967
and beer battered cod

577
00:27:48,001 --> 00:27:50,570
with plantain,
ata dindin sauce,

578
00:27:50,603 --> 00:27:52,872
and a yaji spiced tartar sauce.

579
00:27:52,906 --> 00:27:56,576
I love the fact that you stuck
to your roots of Nigeria,

580
00:27:56,609 --> 00:27:58,878
but still embracing
the fish and chips

581
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:00,146
with the Australian influence.

582
00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:02,749
It looks beautiful,
very inviting.

583
00:28:02,782 --> 00:28:03,750
- Joe: Shall we try it?
- Shall we?

584
00:28:03,783 --> 00:28:04,984
Tiffany: Yeah.

585
00:28:12,726 --> 00:28:15,028
- Wow.
- Listen, fish is cooked
beautifully.

586
00:28:15,061 --> 00:28:17,997
And the plantain could be
a touch crispier. Big deal.

587
00:28:18,031 --> 00:28:20,533
But the pepper sauce,
absolutely spot-on.

588
00:28:20,567 --> 00:28:24,004
I love the different texture
that you get with the plantains

589
00:28:24,037 --> 00:28:28,041
after it just seeps up
all of the peppers.

590
00:28:28,141 --> 00:28:30,777
- Very delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.

591
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:32,746
Quite frankly,
Peter, I am shocked

592
00:28:32,779 --> 00:28:35,749
that you made this.
It's kind of incredible.

593
00:28:35,782 --> 00:28:37,884
- What?
- Thank you, Joe?

594
00:28:37,917 --> 00:28:39,786
I'm gonna just tell it
the way it is.

595
00:28:39,886 --> 00:28:41,755
I didn't know you were capable
of cooking like this

596
00:28:41,788 --> 00:28:43,023
- quite frankly.
- I appreciate it.

597
00:28:43,056 --> 00:28:44,324
- I did.
- Thank you, Chef.

598
00:28:44,424 --> 00:28:47,193
- Great job, young man.
Well done.
- Thank you.

599
00:28:47,227 --> 00:28:50,930
- Good job, Peter.
- Bet he's happy with
Australia now.

600
00:28:51,031 --> 00:28:53,800
Right, the top dish
from Team Americas,

601
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:56,836
please come forward,

602
00:28:56,903 --> 00:28:58,304
- Maria!
- Yeah!

603
00:28:58,371 --> 00:29:00,440
- Wow! Wow.
- Maria!

604
00:29:00,473 --> 00:29:03,376
So much could have gone wrong,
but I got the top dish.

605
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:04,644
I'm feeling amazing.

606
00:29:04,678 --> 00:29:07,113
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

607
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:10,917
This is a Nigerian
and Brazilian fusion dish,

608
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:15,455
and I made suya spice lamb shank
with yucca mash.

609
00:29:15,488 --> 00:29:18,658
It's beautiful. You can just
see from the naked eye

610
00:29:18,692 --> 00:29:20,460
that it is caramelized
beautifully.

611
00:29:20,493 --> 00:29:23,029
- Thank you. I appreciate that.
- Shall we taste it?

612
00:29:34,207 --> 00:29:36,943
Right, Maria,
the lamb is cooked beautifully.

613
00:29:36,976 --> 00:29:39,079
- Thank you.
- It's sticky. It's rich.

614
00:29:39,112 --> 00:29:40,947
It's tender.
This is exceptional.

615
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:42,182
Thank you, Chef.

616
00:29:43,850 --> 00:29:45,952
Yeah, I love the suya.
It popped.

617
00:29:45,985 --> 00:29:48,221
It's got some spices in there
with the chilies.

618
00:29:48,254 --> 00:29:50,090
You're not trying to mask
the flavor of lamb.

619
00:29:50,123 --> 00:29:52,092
You're adding to the flavor
of the lamb.

620
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:54,761
And this is a dish
that feels like you,

621
00:29:54,828 --> 00:29:57,163
but still embracing
the challenge.

622
00:29:57,230 --> 00:30:00,266
- Thank you.
- Maria, it came out perfect.

623
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:02,869
Like, the reduction,
the stickiness of the sauce,

624
00:30:02,969 --> 00:30:04,904
the flavor of the lamb.

625
00:30:04,971 --> 00:30:07,841
You took one
of the biggest risks,
and you nailed it.

626
00:30:07,874 --> 00:30:10,010
- Wow.
- Thank you, Maria.

627
00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:11,644
- Thank you.
- All right, Maria!

628
00:30:11,711 --> 00:30:13,847
- Oh!
- ( cheering )

629
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,249
- Thank you!
- So happy for you.

630
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:20,954
Right. Please give us a moment.
Thank you.

631
00:30:24,024 --> 00:30:24,958
- Four incredible dishes.
- Yeah.

632
00:30:25,091 --> 00:30:26,159
On any other given night,
these four individuals

633
00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:30,096
- would have won independently.
- Joe: They did an amazing job.

634
00:30:34,901 --> 00:30:37,237
- Ready?
- Yeah.

635
00:30:39,072 --> 00:30:41,875
Aishu, Aghata, Peter, Maria,

636
00:30:41,941 --> 00:30:46,813
this is the strongest four
top dishes so far
in this season.

637
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,748
As far as the best dish
of the night,

638
00:30:48,782 --> 00:30:51,251
congratulations goes to...

639
00:31:06,633 --> 00:31:09,002
Congratulations goes to...

640
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:15,809
Maria! Congratulations.
Well done.

641
00:31:15,842 --> 00:31:19,346
- Maria!
- Wow, wow. Thank you.

642
00:31:19,346 --> 00:31:21,314
Gordon:
Aishu, Aghata, and Peter,

643
00:31:21,348 --> 00:31:23,216
the three of you head back
to your territories.

644
00:31:23,216 --> 00:31:25,819
- Congratulations. Well done.
- Well done, ladies.

645
00:31:25,819 --> 00:31:29,222
- Maria, come on and get this!
- Come on up.

646
00:31:29,222 --> 00:31:31,224
Come on. Give it up for Maria,
everybody. Come on.

647
00:31:31,224 --> 00:31:33,360
- ( cheering )
- I won the immunity pin!

648
00:31:33,460 --> 00:31:36,663
- I can't believe it!
- I am so happy for you.

649
00:31:36,763 --> 00:31:40,800
I'm the first person
to win the immunity pin
for the Americas,

650
00:31:40,834 --> 00:31:42,836
and I'm saving my team today.

651
00:31:42,869 --> 00:31:46,840
And I am so excited!

652
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,844
- Thank you for saving us.
- Whoo-whoo! Go!

653
00:31:50,844 --> 00:31:52,312
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

654
00:31:52,412 --> 00:31:53,380
Finally, finally!

655
00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:55,281
Oh, my God, I can't wait
to see from up here.

656
00:31:55,382 --> 00:31:59,152
- Well done! Oh, boy.
- Maria! Good job, Maria!

657
00:31:59,252 --> 00:32:00,987
- Whoo!
- You did so good.

658
00:32:00,987 --> 00:32:04,591
- Thank you.
- Now for the bottom dishes

659
00:32:04,691 --> 00:32:06,092
of the night.

660
00:32:06,126 --> 00:32:08,962
Let's start
with Team Asia-Pacific.

661
00:32:08,995 --> 00:32:11,064
Please come forward...

662
00:32:14,334 --> 00:32:17,003
Shompa.

663
00:32:17,003 --> 00:32:19,139
Ugh, not again.

664
00:32:19,139 --> 00:32:21,675
I just absolutely hate
this feeling.

665
00:32:21,675 --> 00:32:25,011
This challenge was one
of the hardest challenges
that I've done.

666
00:32:25,045 --> 00:32:28,014
And I know everybody
was way more versed

667
00:32:28,048 --> 00:32:29,816
in the French cuisine
than I was,

668
00:32:29,849 --> 00:32:33,286
so I'm just not feeling
that confident right now.

669
00:32:33,286 --> 00:32:37,390
Thank you. So, Shompa,
please describe your dish.

670
00:32:37,424 --> 00:32:41,161
Today I made a frog leg
tomato bhuna

671
00:32:41,161 --> 00:32:45,198
with a potato bhorta pur\e
and a side salad

672
00:32:45,298 --> 00:32:49,169
that included chili
and shallot vinaigrette.

673
00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:52,205
Shompa, I'll be honest, I don't
love the presentation here.

674
00:32:52,305 --> 00:32:53,907
They feel very separated.

675
00:32:53,907 --> 00:32:56,042
Frog legs are definitely
broken down.

676
00:32:56,076 --> 00:32:59,179
Sauce doesn't look as rich
as I would expect.

677
00:32:59,179 --> 00:33:02,182
- But let's see how it's cooked.
- Okay. Thank you, Chef.

678
00:33:02,182 --> 00:33:04,250
- Gordon: Shall we?
- Tiffany: Yeah.

679
00:33:13,326 --> 00:33:16,763
Shompa, sadly for me,
the dish is underwhelming.

680
00:33:16,863 --> 00:33:20,467
When you mentioned the word
"bhuna," I got excited.

681
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:22,369
But there's no spice
in there at all.

682
00:33:22,469 --> 00:33:26,339
Yeah. The potatoes itself
has a little bit of richness,

683
00:33:26,439 --> 00:33:30,210
But again, even that
feels underwhelming.

684
00:33:30,210 --> 00:33:33,480
Shompa, this dish went wrong
with the decision

685
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,216
of choosing frog leg, which
you've never cooked before.

686
00:33:36,316 --> 00:33:38,451
And from that point on,
it was just a cascade downward

687
00:33:38,485 --> 00:33:40,186
because you couldn't save it.

688
00:33:41,221 --> 00:33:42,422
Thank you, Shompa.

689
00:33:46,092 --> 00:33:49,396
Okay. The bottom dish
for Team Europe tonight,

690
00:33:49,496 --> 00:33:53,400
- come on forward, Basia.
- You're good, Basia.

691
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:55,135
Basia: I'm feeling upset
right now.

692
00:33:55,168 --> 00:33:59,506
Tonight, I really
wanted to save my team.
And now here I am,

693
00:33:59,606 --> 00:34:02,776
I'm at the bottom,
and I could potentially go home.

694
00:34:02,776 --> 00:34:08,481
Tonight, I made
a miso glazed cod with parsnip
and beet pur\e,

695
00:34:08,514 --> 00:34:12,952
a yuzu and sake beurre blanc,
and chive oil.

696
00:34:13,053 --> 00:34:16,056
It's such a shame that the plate
is full of all that liquid.

697
00:34:16,056 --> 00:34:20,126
- Of water. I know.
- The water's coming from
the parsnip and the beet roots.

698
00:34:20,126 --> 00:34:22,594
Sadly, it looks a mess.
Shall we?

699
00:34:22,594 --> 00:34:24,197
I hope that tastes good.

700
00:34:31,538 --> 00:34:33,806
It's clearly evident there's
no editing here going on.

701
00:34:33,806 --> 00:34:35,975
You've got the pur\e,
the yuzu beurre blanc,

702
00:34:36,076 --> 00:34:40,146
and then an oil
on top of the beurre blanc--
just doesn't work.

703
00:34:40,146 --> 00:34:44,016
The pur\e is bland.
The actual cod is cooked nicely,

704
00:34:44,016 --> 00:34:46,418
and that's the only
saving grace.

705
00:34:46,518 --> 00:34:49,089
This Japanese-Polish fusion
just isn't working.

706
00:34:49,089 --> 00:34:54,027
I feel like you
just had ingredients pulled
from both cultures

707
00:34:54,027 --> 00:34:55,795
that really didn't make sense,

708
00:34:55,829 --> 00:35:01,034
and so what we end up with
on our palate is confusion.

709
00:35:01,034 --> 00:35:02,569
When you have a dish
in your mind,

710
00:35:02,602 --> 00:35:06,306
you have to know that
you can get from here to there

711
00:35:06,306 --> 00:35:08,074
following the rules of cuisine.

712
00:35:08,174 --> 00:35:09,342
- Yes.
- But you didn't follow

713
00:35:09,442 --> 00:35:11,177
the rules to get there,
and it shows.

714
00:35:11,277 --> 00:35:13,179
- All right.
- Thank you, Basia.

715
00:35:13,279 --> 00:35:15,181
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

716
00:35:15,215 --> 00:35:16,783
Did you taste it?

717
00:35:23,890 --> 00:35:26,993
- Okay, the bottom dish
for Team Africa tonight...
- Oh, boy.

718
00:35:27,093 --> 00:35:30,797
...suffered from technical
mistakes that we simply
couldn't ignore.

719
00:35:30,897 --> 00:35:33,533
Please come forward, Rita.

720
00:35:33,633 --> 00:35:35,402
( exhales )

721
00:35:36,569 --> 00:35:37,937
It's okay.

722
00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:46,579
Okay, Rita, what did you make?

723
00:35:46,613 --> 00:35:50,583
Rita: Tonight,
I made an herb crusted lamb
with jollof rice

724
00:35:50,617 --> 00:35:54,487
infused with vegemite
and fried plantain.

725
00:35:54,487 --> 00:35:56,589
If I remember correctly,
your audition dish

726
00:35:56,623 --> 00:35:59,592
- was jollof rice
in a risotto version, right?
- Yes.

727
00:35:59,626 --> 00:36:01,494
- So you're familiar
with the idea of fusion.
- Yes.

728
00:36:01,528 --> 00:36:05,365
I think visually this dish
doesn't capture the essence

729
00:36:05,365 --> 00:36:08,902
of a Nigerian and Australian
fusion for me.

730
00:36:08,902 --> 00:36:13,239
- Shall we taste?
- So let's deal with
the elephant in the room.

731
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,207
The lamb was undercooked.

732
00:36:14,307 --> 00:36:16,609
You sliced it and then
threw it back in the pan.

733
00:36:16,643 --> 00:36:19,312
- Yes. That's correct, Chef.
- All right. Let's see.

734
00:36:35,261 --> 00:36:36,463
Let's see.

735
00:36:42,302 --> 00:36:45,305
- Overcooked.
- Yes, Chef.

736
00:36:56,182 --> 00:36:58,184
Oh, boy. First of all,
the lamb is very dry.

737
00:36:58,284 --> 00:37:01,688
I think you panicked
by not letting the lamb rest.

738
00:37:01,688 --> 00:37:03,957
It does continue cooking,
by the way.

739
00:37:04,057 --> 00:37:07,394
If I'm being honest here,
the best part is the plantains.

740
00:37:07,427 --> 00:37:11,264
Everything else just needed
to be technically right,

741
00:37:11,297 --> 00:37:12,766
you know,
at this level of cooking.

742
00:37:12,866 --> 00:37:15,001
Rice, it has that spice,

743
00:37:15,101 --> 00:37:17,137
but it just doesn't have
a whole lot of other flavor.

744
00:37:17,237 --> 00:37:20,707
We expect you to be able to
not only interpret a challenge

745
00:37:20,707 --> 00:37:23,576
and do what we're asking you,
but also cook properly.

746
00:37:23,610 --> 00:37:25,712
I'm sorry to say,
maybe it's a little tough love,

747
00:37:25,745 --> 00:37:27,047
but this dish
is a little bit immature.

748
00:37:27,047 --> 00:37:29,582
- Sorry about that, Joe.
- It's okay.

749
00:37:29,616 --> 00:37:32,419
- Thank you, Rita.
- Thank you very much.

750
00:37:38,024 --> 00:37:38,992
Shompa, Basia, Rita,

751
00:37:39,059 --> 00:37:41,695
tonight it was clear
that this fusion challenge

752
00:37:41,728 --> 00:37:43,196
got the best
of all three of you.

753
00:37:43,296 --> 00:37:44,564
Please excuse us.

754
00:37:48,935 --> 00:37:53,306
Oh, man.
This is a tough one.

755
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:55,208
Shompa missed the point
completely, right?

756
00:37:55,308 --> 00:37:57,477
Even if the frog legs
weren't cooked properly,

757
00:37:57,510 --> 00:38:00,747
had the sauce been delicious,
had the potatoes been delicious,

758
00:38:00,747 --> 00:38:02,482
at least something on the plate
would have been great.

759
00:38:02,515 --> 00:38:03,883
- Yeah.
- Joe: Basia?

760
00:38:03,983 --> 00:38:06,119
- Tiffany: Hmm.
- Well, she just got
confused again,

761
00:38:06,152 --> 00:38:08,288
I mean, just throwing those
vegetables into the pot.

762
00:38:08,388 --> 00:38:11,224
- But the fish was actually
cooked properly, right?
- Right. Yeah.

763
00:38:11,257 --> 00:38:13,626
- Joe: Rita?
- Oh, man.

764
00:38:13,626 --> 00:38:15,328
- Tiffany: Rita.
- You're gonna cook
a rack of lamb,

765
00:38:15,362 --> 00:38:16,529
let it rest for 20 minutes.

766
00:38:16,629 --> 00:38:19,699
So tonight she just missed
the mark completely.

767
00:38:23,770 --> 00:38:26,706
- I don't know
how you pick just one.
- Really?

768
00:38:31,511 --> 00:38:33,980
- You sure?
- Yeah. Got to do it.

769
00:38:39,285 --> 00:38:40,520
Oh, boy. What a night.

770
00:38:40,553 --> 00:38:42,155
Shompa, Basia, Rita,

771
00:38:42,188 --> 00:38:45,191
you made things very difficult
for all three of us

772
00:38:45,225 --> 00:38:49,662
because each of you
honestly made incredibly
obvious mistakes.

773
00:38:49,696 --> 00:38:52,799
So this decision
did not come easy,
let me tell you.

774
00:38:52,832 --> 00:38:56,870
But we all came
to a unanimous decision.

775
00:39:00,006 --> 00:39:01,975
Rita, please step forward.

776
00:39:05,311 --> 00:39:08,915
Shompa, please step forward.

777
00:39:12,585 --> 00:39:15,021
- Basia.
- Oh, my gosh.

778
00:39:18,858 --> 00:39:22,562
Rita, Shompa,

779
00:39:22,562 --> 00:39:27,500
you are both eliminated
from the MasterChef kitchen.

780
00:39:33,573 --> 00:39:35,675
Basia, say goodbye
to Shompa and Rita

781
00:39:35,709 --> 00:39:37,043
and head back
to your bench, please.

782
00:39:38,044 --> 00:39:42,048
- It's okay.
- Aw, Rita.

783
00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:50,056
Shompa, Rita, we are so sorry,
but we had to.

784
00:39:50,056 --> 00:39:52,258
You left us with no options.

785
00:39:52,359 --> 00:39:55,395
Both dishes did not
meet the standard we're
looking for tonight.

786
00:39:55,495 --> 00:40:01,267
- Shompa, please tell me
you've enjoyed yourself.
- I've enjoyed myself so much.

787
00:40:01,301 --> 00:40:02,736
The fact that I got to cook
in the MasterChef kitchen,

788
00:40:02,869 --> 00:40:06,873
I've been dreaming about baking
in the MasterChef kitchen
since I was a kid,

789
00:40:06,906 --> 00:40:11,277
- and I can't believe
I made my dreams come true.
- You've been amazing.

790
00:40:11,378 --> 00:40:16,182
Rita, listen, young lady,
you've done yourself proud,
Nigeria proud.

791
00:40:16,282 --> 00:40:18,418
- Have you enjoyed yourself?
- Yes, Chef, I really have.

792
00:40:18,451 --> 00:40:22,355
I learned a lot so far,
so I'm going to continue and do
what I love doing.

793
00:40:22,455 --> 00:40:24,891
Come and say goodbye as well.
Come on.

794
00:40:24,891 --> 00:40:26,760
Shompa: It's disappointing
to be going home,

795
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:28,762
but I'm so proud of myself.

796
00:40:28,862 --> 00:40:31,731
- Thank you so much
for this opportunity.
- Good job.

797
00:40:31,765 --> 00:40:33,733
I came to the MasterChef kitchen

798
00:40:33,767 --> 00:40:36,169
because I wanted to
represent Bangladeshi women

799
00:40:36,202 --> 00:40:38,405
and show that when you put
your mind towards things

800
00:40:38,438 --> 00:40:41,307
and you're passionate
about something,
that you can achieve

801
00:40:41,341 --> 00:40:43,810
and bring those things
out there into the world.

802
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:47,447
My culinary dreams are not over.
I feel like I just got started.

803
00:40:47,447 --> 00:40:50,116
Come on, guys.
Give it up for these
two amazing ladies. Come on.

804
00:40:50,116 --> 00:40:51,718
Whoo!

805
00:41:02,162 --> 00:41:05,198
- Whoo!
- Whoo!

806
00:41:05,231 --> 00:41:07,934
- ( cheering )
- Gordon: Good night, Shompa.
Good night, Rita.

807
00:41:07,934 --> 00:41:09,402
- Joe: Good night.
- Take care, guys.

808
00:41:09,436 --> 00:41:10,737
Whoo!

809
00:41:12,706 --> 00:41:16,409
Next time on "MasterChef,"
love is in the air

810
00:41:16,443 --> 00:41:17,811
with a very special
team challenge.

811
00:41:17,844 --> 00:41:21,214
- This is a royal wedding.
- ( gasping )

812
00:41:21,214 --> 00:41:25,385
The winners of season 15,
dynamic duo Jesse and Jessica!

813
00:41:25,485 --> 00:41:28,955
Each team today
will be cooking for half of
the wedding guests.

814
00:41:28,988 --> 00:41:31,558
- Why are you putting salt?
- She said to salt them.

815
00:41:31,591 --> 00:41:33,426
- No!
- But the pressure
to deliver...

816
00:41:33,526 --> 00:41:35,829
This is not "MasterChef"
quality at all.

817
00:41:35,829 --> 00:41:37,997
( bleep )
This is way too hot.

818
00:41:38,098 --> 00:41:41,234
- Oh, now, you're on fire.
- ...leaves some out
in the cold.

819
00:41:41,334 --> 00:41:43,570
- Jaime, are you okay?
- I felt like I forgot
how to cook.

820
00:41:43,603 --> 00:41:46,439
Go outside and cool off
for two minutes.

821
00:41:46,439 --> 00:41:48,908
- Oh, my Lord.
- ( sighs )
