All language subtitles for MasterChef - 05x03 - Top 20 Compete

Previously on MasterChef...

The best home cooks
in America...

Welcome, welcome.

took their place

in the MasterChef kitchen.

This is the coliseum.

But the very first mystery box

came with an unwelcome surprise.

One of you
will be going home.

What?
From mystery box?

Astrid, your time is done.

The elimination test
delivered highs...

Pretty killer.

Keep an eye on this one, guys.

and lows.

You've taken a tv dinner

and turned it
into a tv disaster.

And Whitney became

the second home cook
eliminated.

Tonight it's an all-out...

culinary war...

Here they come!

You don't realize what
500 soldiers looks like.

In the biggest,
most explosive team challenge

in MasterChef history.

They're [bleep] raw.

Come on!

And then a pressure test

threatens to send
a favorite home.

Come on, you need
to put that in the oven.

It all happens right now
on MasterChef.

Our 20 remaining home cooks

have been dropped off 200 miles
from the MasterChef kitchen

in the Mojave desert for their
first team field challenge.

This is the first
team challenge.

I'm big, I'm hot,
I'm uncomfortable.

I mean, I could've been
surfing in Malibu,

and I'm going,
"What in the hell?"

I'm Scottish,
in the desert.

What are we doing here?

Are we gonna cook
an egg on a rock?

Look at that, yo.

Wow.

Oh, my god.

Suddenly in the distance,

here come
two bloody helicopters

and two trucks just driving
and flying towards us

creating a massive sandstorm.

I was in the military,

and seeing
these helicopters come in

brought me back to the days

I used to jump out
of helicopters for a living.

And, man, my adrenaline
is just pumping right now.

It looks like some serious
stuff's about to go down.

And, boom,
it's the judges.

Right.
Everyone, listen.

You have a very,
very critical challenge

to undertake today.

Francis B.
Yes, chef.

Because you had
the best dish

in the last challenge,

you will be
a team captain.

Being team captain,
first team challenge,

I am up
for this opportunity.

I can definitely
lead this team.

Grab that.

Clearly captain
of the red team.

All right.

Now quickly select

nine individuals

to join your team.

It's a huge advantage

to get to pick your whole team
right off the bat.

But Gordon's like,
"Now, we gotta go."

So I gotta put
something together quick.

Hurry up, come on.
Time's of the essence.

Cutter, let's go!

Tyler, come on up.

Tyler and cutter, I feel like,
really know their meats.

Victoria.

Victoria,
she'd know what to do

with maybe side dishes
or working the grill.

- Francis.
- In the truck!

Francis L,
he's quirky, he's funny.

He's a strong competitor.

Willie.

Let's go, big willie.

Willie, he can bring
the finesse.

Come on, francis!

Christine.

I'm playing out everything
really quickly in my head.

Like, who would work well
together?

Who are the people I've seen
do well in the challenges?

Elizabeth.

Ahran.

One more, one more.

Uh, let's go, um...

Come on, Francis B!

Kira, let's go.

Francis B, that's it.

All right!
All right!

That's our leader
right there.

Hell yeah, dude.

The rest of you,
you are the blue team.

Yes, let's go, blue.
Yeah!

Let's go, blue!

I'm looking around
at my blue team,

and I'm thinking, like,
we're doomed.

We have no people that know
how to work under pressure.

We have a lot of weak links.

You need to choose
a captain now.

Now!
Choose a captain.

Daniel.
Daniel.

I see enough eyes
glance my way,

and I hear the majority
of people say "Daniel."

- Who is it?
- I'm the captain.

So I stepped up,
and I raised my hand,

and I was ready
to be the team captain.

Blue team,
get in the truck.

Let's go, come on.

- Hop on.
- Let's go.

This is colonel Ward.

I'm the commander of the 11th
armored cavalry regiment.

This is colonel Braga
with the U.S. army.

He's here
to tell you more.

You're driving through
the national training center,

fort Irwin, California,

one of the country's premier
tactical training facilities.

Our brave men and women
train here

in an area that's roughly
the size of Rhode Island.

Many of them
are currently involved

in live tactical ground
and airborne training exercises

as we speak.

You are all
about to undertake

a very,
very important mission.

You'll be out
of your element,

and you will have to cook
in the elements,

in a field kitchen.

Today you will be feeding
500 soldiers.

Wow.

Excuse me?

500 hungry soldiers?

Are you kidding me?

Guys, this is almost
an impossible mission.

This is more people

than we've ever had
home cooks serve

in any challenge ever.

We want one grilled meat,
one side,

and an amazing sauce
to go with that protein.

Listen carefully.

You'll have two hours
to prep your meal

and another two hours
to serve it.

- Clear?
- Yes, chef.

We got this.

My brother was a marine,

And my dad served
in Vietnam,

so this is really important
to me.

I really want to do right
by these soldiers

because of the sacrifices
they make.

It's a big deal to me.

I couldn't think
of a better group of people

to honor and respect,

because these guys are putting
their lives on the line

every day
for my freedom.

Let's go, guys.
Let's go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

The teams now have
just two hours

to prep a hearty meal
for 500 soldiers,

who will vote
for their favorite dish.

Along with a side
and a sauce,

the teams have a choice
of beef, chicken, or pork

to serve as their protein.

What else we got?

I think we should do
the pork chops.

Pork chops?
Yeah, I agree.

Let's do a spicy rub,
sweet sauce.

We decide
on a double-cut pork chop,

which seemed like
the cadillac of the meats,

with an apple-cranberry sauce.

We need a side
that's gonna sustain 'em,

something that's
gonna stand out.

- I think mac and cheese.
- Carbs?

I think mac and cheese.

Yeah, bacon crumbles
on there.

- Let's do it, guys.
- Yes!

While Francis' red team

quickly decides on a menu,

over on Daniel's blue team,

not everyone agrees
on the choice of meat.

Chicken.
Chicken is easy.

I think beef.

Chicken you gotta cook
all the way through.

My experience from cooking
chicken on a grill

for a bunch of people,

chicken dries out too much.

It's a tricky protein.

Give me flank steak any day
over a chicken breast.

I mean, that's
a hockey puck in disguise.

Chicken with sauce,
barbecue sauce.

- Are we thinking barbecue sauce?
- Absolutely.

And once again,
I felt like I wasn't there.

- Like a southern-style barbecue, yes.
- Like a texas-style.

Okay.

I cast a vote for chicken,

and the majority
said the same thing.

So that's what
it was gonna be.

- Now, um, side dish?
- Potatoes.

Potato salad would be rad.

Leslie,
what are you doing?

I'm just cleaning off
the fat.

Whose idea was it
to do chicken?

- Everybody, yes.
- Everybody?

- What was your idea?
- My idea?

I would've went
with steak.

What do you think
those soldiers would prefer,

chicken or beef?

I think beef,
because if I'm out there,

the last thing I wanna do
is see a chicken come in.

I want a nice piece of beef
and something really hearty.

That's my opinion.
It's my opinion.

These pork chops
are thick.

They are thick.

- Take one, throw it on,
start timing it. - All right.

Guys, this is
the biggest challenge ever.

Amazing, they're cooking
for 500 U.S. Soldiers.

We've never, ever
done these numbers.

This is double

the biggest challenge
we've ever had.

So this is like
a whole nother level.

Red team is doing a pork chop
and a bacon mac and cheese.

How can you make mac and cheese
without an oven?

There's no way
to get a crust.

There's no way
to do anything.

- It's gonna be like cheesy noodles.
- Mush.

Okay, but if you can nail
a bacon mac and cheese,

you will win this.

- No.
- You think?

I say it's very challenging,

but it's high risk,
high reward.

We can cook off the pasta
and hold it,

but we gotta
time it well.

The blue team,
all-American menu.

Barbecue chicken
with potato salad.

Well, first of all,

I mean, wrong choice
of protein for me.

Chicken is crazy,

because to nail it and get it
moist is very difficult.

500 portions.

Most likely,
it's gonna be dry.

If you're gonna serve
dry chicken to 500 soldiers,

that sauce better be good.

Needs a little--
a little heat.

We got cayenne?
We got jalapeno?

Let me go check.

Red team, blue team.

45 minutes gone.

75 minutes prep
left to go.

Almost halfway
through their prep time,

both teams begin
the daunting task

of grilling
over 500 portions of meat.

All right, Cutter,
what's going on, man?

Going good, going good.
Getting the pork chops on.

Are you sure you want them
that far from the heat?

This is a giant,
2-inch pork chop.

I can put my hands here,

and there's, like,
nothing going on.

This is, like, worse
than microwaving them.

They're literally
just in the steam.

- We need to get some more coals.
- You gotta get a flame going.

You gotta get it hot.

I am not concerned.

With Victoria, me,
and Tyler on the grill,

you know, me and Victoria
from Texas,

Tyler a country boy,

we can make this work.

That's delicious rub,
though.

That's great.
Thank you.

While cutter takes charge

of the red team's pork chops,

on the blue team,
Leslie is panicking

that Stephani's chicken
is undercooked.

These are not done.
These are not done.

- They're not done.
- Oh, that one is.

- Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, look.
- It's just light.

- Okay.
- I know.

Leslie is driving me
up the wall.

he's always in my face,
running his yap,

talking too much, and he
really needs to back off.

It feels--
it feels soft.

It looks soft.

- No, that's good.
- Okay.

That's your station.

Do what you feel
is gonna work.

The last thing you want
is raw chicken,

or otherwise
you're gonna walk out

with a lot
of sick people here.

How many portions
have you got cooked?

Two pans
in the hot box.

There's two in the hot box?
Yes.

It's raw.

Hey, blue team.

Yes, chef?
Pass me a knife.

Let's go!

All of you,
let's go!

Stand over here.

Who checked this chicken?

I did.

Raw.

Raw chicken.

Seriously?

So you didn't cut
the chicken open?

You didn't check the chicken
to see if it was done?

None of that?

This chicken right now

is more [bleep] dangerous
than the enemy.

Honestly, guys,
get a grip!

In the most ambitious challenge

in MasterChef history,

both red and blue teams
race to prepare a meal

for 500 hungry soldiers.

But just 45 minutes
into their prep,

Gordon discovers
that Stephani's chicken is raw.

Honestly, guys, hey.

- We should be embarrassed.
- I am.

Stephani, I told you.

I may be 56, but I know
what the hell I'm talking about.

I know raw chicken
when I feel it.

Team captain,
if she doesn't know

how cooked chicken
looks like, feels like,

put someone else
on the job.

Come on!

You need to cover the tops
with tinfoil.

Keep the heat
in the grills.

Put some pans
on top of it.

Long trays.
Not those trays!

The longer trays.

I need those trays.

Put it on top
of the meat.

Under 45 minutes
until the cavalry arrives.

While the blue team

attempts to rescue
their raw chicken,

on the red team,

it's captain Francis'
mac and cheese side dish

that is in serious danger.

Stop.
Are you kidding me?

How is that
mac and cheese?

So look,
it's all separating.

Tossing in 4 pounds of cheese
with 5 pounds of pasta

and, like, 2 gallons
of heavy cream,

it just didn't
all cook together.

Francis B,
are you telling me

that soldiers
don't know the difference

between mac and cheese
and mac and [bleep]?

This is not good, guys.
This is not good.

How's francis b doing
as captain?

- Headless chicken,
- Really?

Mac and cheese,
didn't make a cheese sauce.

Just cold cream
with grated cheese--shocking.

What's red team gonna do?

Are they still gonna
serve this mac?

I just don't know.

Although I tried the rub,
and it's quite good.

Have you tried
a slice of pork?

No. Because there's not
a finished pork chop yet.

You should probably have

a hundred pork chops cooking
by now.

Red team, blue team,

just under 30 minutes to go.

Y'all, we need to get on it.
We need 20 pans.

I'm seriously worried
about the red team.

I mean,
they're behind massively.

Let's check these.

So the blue team, I think
Daniel as an appointed captain,

he's level-headed,
good enthusiasm,

made some good decisions.

Stephani,
how you doing?

- You got it together now?
- I got it.

I think blue team's got it just
because red doesn't have it.

Turn it up, you guys!
Come on, let's go!

With service
rapidly approaching,

Joe and Graham
head over to the red team

to check on the status
of their side dish.

Coleslaw?

What happened
to the mac and cheese?

We had to think
of something else.

How many tubs are you guys
gonna be able to fill?

You gotta do 500 plates.

- Five?
- At least.

So five tubs
is about 150 of these.

And so far you're shaving

about one every five minutes,
which puts you

- in bad shape.
- It does.

Good luck.
Keep on shaving.

Ten minutes to go!

Soldiers are starting
to gather, guys.

Look out
on the horizon.

Here they come!

They're coming!

You see tanks,
and you see helicopters,

and you see all these people
starting to gather.

You think you know what
500 soldiers is gonna look like?

No, you don't realize
what 500 soldiers looks like.

It's equal parts invigorating
and mildly terrifying.

Victoria,
how many pork left to cook?

We have a lot, chef.
Hundreds.

Get that pork on.
Come on, speed up!

At this point,

if we can't
get the team together

and we can't get this dish
onto a plate,

we're truly buggered.

15 seconds to go.

These are not ready.

This might be
the biggest challenge

or the biggest disaster we've
ever seen on MasterChef today.

I need more plates.
Let's go!

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one.

Let's go, guys!

We're open for business.

Hi, guys.
How are you?

- Awesome.
- Thank you, guys.

Thank you so much
for your service.

The MasterChef battle is on.

Each of the 500 soldiers

will taste both
the red and blue team's dishes,

then vote
for their favorite.

Here you go.
Pork chop for you.

The red team is serving

a double-cut pork chop

with an apple chutney
and coleslaw.

Here you go.
Thank you.

The blue team is serving

grilled chicken
with barbecue sauce

and a side
of potato salad.

Let's go, hurry up, they're
waiting, they're waiting.

Once that service starts, this
whole thing turns into chaos.

I'm in the weeds
on the grill.

The slaw is in the weeds.

My arms are physically
about to fall off my body.

I need more pork chops
on my side.

Francis, I'm trying,
brother.

I'm a little bit worried.

Those pork chops
are so thick,

and it's slow
getting them to cook.

Francis B, look at the line.
The line is backed up.

Come on, guys.

You guys, we're getting
a big delay from the red team,

So that means
we're doing great.

As the red team scrambles

to keep up
with the endless line,

Graham heads
to the soldiers

to see whose dish
is winning hearts and minds.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What do we think,
between the red and the blue?

I like the blue better because
the red was kind of tough.

It's kind of hard
to get to.

I like the blue one better.

The seasoning is good.
The sauce is good.

I like the way
that they presented it.

You guys,
we are killing it.

Well, the red team's food,

you can see that it's raw,
not even cooked.

I don't know what else to say
other than it's horrible.

That's not cooked.
That is not cooked.

Victoria,
they're not done!

They're not?

No.

Hey, red team,
get your ass over here!

All of you!

Look.

They're [bleep] raw!

This is like
my worst nightmare.

And as team captain,
I know I'm screwed.

Team captain, my ass.

Raw pork to these guys,
are you kidding me?

We are in big trouble.

As far as I'm concerned,

if we serve these troops
raw pork,

we should all go home.

Look at the respect
you got for the soldiers.

Get your [bleep] together.

Hey, hey, guys,
I'm gonna stop you here.

Get a [bleep] grip.

Having discovered raw pork

being served
to the soldiers,

Gordon forces the red team

to radically change
their cooking strategy.

- Butterfly the pork.
- Yes, chef.

Look at Cutter.

Great idea.
Butterfly it.

That's a faster cook over time.

With the red team stalled

and time running out,

the blue team is quick to entice
the hungry soldiers

to their station.

We got plenty of chicken
over here.

Yeah, if you guys want
some barbecue chicken...

Wait, they're just walking by
without plates.

We're happy to be able
to feed y'all.

Three minutes on some pork.

We got so behind
and so in the weeds,

I'm not even sure
how many people we missed.

I'm definitely thinking
we could be in trouble.

Every time a soldier
doesn't pick up your pork,

you're losing a vote,
come on.

Despite a large number
of soldiers

who did not receive
a plate from the red team,

those who did
have strong opinions.

Definitely gonna vote
for the red plate.

It was way better.

The best pork chop,
say that again.

It's the best one
I've ever had.

- In your life?
- In my life, yes.

What's the feedback?

I mean, the thing is

everyone that got pork
loves it.

I mean, if they could
keep it consistent,

I mean,
they have a shot.

So I don't know if they're able
to pull it back now or not.

But, I mean,
their pork is good.

The blue team picked

a less ambitious menu

but at least
were able to execute it.

Nothing went out raw.

I got pork coming out
right now.

Good job
on the butterfly, guys.

They're cooking great.

Hi, guys.

Thank you so much
for waiting.

I need more chicken!

Let's go!

I'm sweating bullets.

It's so many people.
It's crazy.

Let's go, guys.
Come on.

Last 50 soldiers.
Come on, let's go.

Last 50 soldiers, you guys!
Push it out!

20 soldiers to go.
Come on.

Let's go! Let's go, cutter!
Let's go!

The chicken had
a little spice to it,

So I really liked that.

Let's go, red team!

Red team,
last soldier.

Let's go, guys!

Make it look good!

Thank you.

Yeah!

I knew we had
a winning dish.

But the only thing
going through my mind is:

How many plates did we lose,

did we not
put any food on?

Thank you so much.

We rose to the occasion
as a team,

feeding 500 people.

And even though that sounded
incredibly daunting,

we nailed it.

With service completed,

Joe heads out
for a final check-in

with fort Irwin's
top commanders.

General, what is the opinion
of our top dog?

I think I'm going
for the pork.

Going red,
pork chop.

So general's going
for the red.

Who's voting red
on this table?

Raise your hand.
One, two, three.

Who's voting blue?
One, two, three.

Dead tie.

It's time for the vote.

When given the order,
all 500 soldiers

will line up
in front of the team

whose food
they liked best.

The team with the most soldiers
on their side is the winner.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we would like personally

to thank each
and every one of you

for your bravery

and your service

to this amazing country.

These home cooks
cooked their hearts out,

but there can only be
one winning team.

Red team, baby!

- Come on, baby!
- Blue! Blue! Blue!

On the count of three,

please step into position.

One,

two,

three.

Come on, guys!

Come on!

Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue!

Red team! Red team!

Blue!
Come on, blue!

Come on!

Look at 'em.
Look at 'em.

We're seeing them line up
one by one,

and it's looking
like it's really close.

We got 500 plates,

didn't miss one.

I feel really confident.

The winning team today,

the team that is safe
from elimination

with 329 votes,

congratulations...

to...

the red team!

Thank you!
Thank you!

Thank you!

Cooking for 500 troops

and knowing that
way more than half of them

liked our stuff
over theirs,

it's ridiculous.

We put ourselves
out there on the plate,

and we worked really hard
to get where we were at.

It was a huge win.
It was a landslide.

Blue team,

that means you'll be facing

the dreaded pressure test.

Clear down.

Let's go.

I was shocked.

Was their dish that
significantly better than ours?

Anybody can cook
[bleep] pork chops.

I don't even know
how they won.

They missed
a lot of plates.

That doesn't
make sense to me.

I'm really confused
right now.

I'm not happy.

I am not a happy camper
right now.

Red team! Red team!

Welcome to the real world.

I'm pissed that the blue team's
going into the pressure test.

The chicken
was just a bad choice.

If they would've
listened to me

and chose the beef,

we probably
could have won.

We made a decision yesterday

to commit as a team.

So we can
be friends afterwards.

but while
the pressure test is on,

we gotta
come out swinging,

and you gotta
knock each other out.

Yesterday we asked you

to serve a heroic meal

to over 500 brave
men and women

of America's armed forces.

Both teams fought valiantly.

But in every battle,
there can be just one victor.

Red team,

you overcame
incredible odds

to win the biggest challenge
that we've ever done

in the history
of MasterChef.

Francis B, great job.

Thank you, chef.

Unfortunately,
for the ten home cooks

standing in front of us,

you will be facing
the dreaded pressure test.

At least
one of you home cooks

will leave the MasterChef
kitchen tonight.

It's now time to face

your very first
pressure test.

But not all of you are going
to have to compete.

Three of you will
watch this pressure test

from the comfort
of the balcony,

safe from elimination.

Daniel, you were big enough

to put yourself out there
as the team captain.

Now it's time to be
an even bigger man

and decide who's safe

from this dreaded
pressure test tonight.

I know I bust my ass.

I deserve to be
on that balcony.

You know what you need
to be doing right now.

You better think
very hard.

Tell me your first person.

I believe this person
worked very hard.

And nobody deserves
to be up there more...

than Christian.

All right, Christian,
up to the balcony.

You're safe
from elimination.

Second choice?

This person
did a great job yesterday.

They were
Johnny on the spot.

They were where
they needed to be.

Gordon showed up.

Wow.
Please go up to the balcony.

Daniel, before you make
your final pick,

you can, of course,
save yourself from elimination.

Tough one.

I chose to be captain
yesterday,

And a captain goes down
with his ship.

So I'm gonna
stay down here.

Wow.

I'm screaming
to the heavens for joy,

"Pick me, pick me."

If anybody deserves it,
it's me,

because I did
everything right.

I'm sending this person up
to the balcony today

because I don't want them
in here with me today

going head-to-head.

That person is Dan.

Off you go.

Are you kidding me?
That was it.

Daniel made a big mistake
not saving me.

I set my target
right on his back.

At least one of you
will be going home

based on how
you cook the dish

that we are
about to show you.

Blueberry pie.

Blueberry pie!

You've gotta be
[bleep] kidding me.

It feels like a tailor-made
pressure test for me.

We're looking
for one stunning blueberry pie,

something worthy
of this pie's amazing tradition

in this country.

As you slice through
that delicious pastry,

you should hear
that crisp crunch.

I don't bake.

If it had been the other way
where they say,

"Here's the dish,
now pick three people,

and you can save yourself,"
I would have gone upstairs.

Now, look at that filling

bursting with
that amazing blueberry flavor.

and a good pie filling
always holds together.

When you do
this dish justice,

it is an absolutely perfect
slice of Americana.

Okay, it's time
to head to your stations.

Honestly,
I don't bake a lot,

so I want
to show the judges

that I think
outside of the box

and that I'm not
your average home cook.

- Jaimee.
- Yes, sir?

What is that
on the side of your neck?

It's blueberry pie.

So clearly this challenge

was tailor-made for you.

I hope so.

You have 75 minutes

to prepare and bake us

a delicious blueberry pie.

You all have
the exact same ingredients

to make
your blueberry pie shine.

You'll also have access

to a limited pantry
of ingredients

that can help
your blueberry pie

stand out
from the competition.

Right, your 75 minutes

starts...

now!

Go, guys.

Let's go, guys.

Looking at the seven
that we have cooking right now,

what are your predictions?

I think, Jaimee--
tonight's her night to shine.

She's gonna show us
what she has.

Elise, I think
she overthinks it.

I think the minute
she has a mistake,

she sort of disintegrates.

With Stephani,
the problem is she's gonna

get into that pantry
and start using everything,

and it's all
gonna go to hell.

Daniel chose to stay to cook.

Could you imagine
if he goes home?

Doesn't look too comfortable
right now.

But the secret
of a great blueberry pie,

- obviously, the foundation
is the pastry. - Right.

That's the bit
that sets the tone.

If you wanna make it your own,
what do you add?

Lemon zest, lime zest,

So it's got
that tangy effect.

For me, I think mint,

just to steep
and then take it out.

so it kind of perfumes it.

These things take at least
minimum 45 minutes to cook.

Right.
So they gotta be in the oven

the first 20 minutes.

I'm nervous.

I've already made judges
blueberry pie once.

They weren't huge fans.

So if I can't get it right
the third time,

I'm gonna be really disappointed
in myself.

Stephani,
how you feeling?

I'm feeling good
right now.

What's your twist
on this one?

I'm throwing some pecans
in the crust.

Have you done that
before?

I've never even
made a blueberry pie.

They take minimum
50 minutes to cook.

That means you have
to get this in the oven

in the next ten.

I got it under control.

Careful overworking that.

- Jaimee, how's it going?
- Hi, guys.

- Good.
- So what'd you put in this?

Blood orange zest.
Some blood orange juice.

Blood orange zest,
good idea.

Very citrus-focused, huh?

You chose to tattoo
the blueberry pie to your neck.

Right.

It's like a homage
to where I grew up.

You think that yours is strong
enough to be the best here?

I sure as hell hope so.

How's captain doing?

He's restarting.

Daniel.

- Yes, chef.
- How you doing?

The second time
making a pastry?

- Yes, chef.
- What happened to the first one?

I got the mixture
incorrect,

so I had to start over.

Uh, that looks nice.

Yeah, knead it together,
and then get rolling.

- Good luck.
- Yes, chef. Thank you.

All right, guys,

- just over 40 minutes left
to cook.

You should have
your blueberry pies

in the oven by now.

I'm kind of nervous
about Elise's.

She was running out of time.

She put
the whole pie crust on top.

Is she the only one
who didn't do a lattice top?

Yes.

Slightly concerned

about the texture
of pastry of Stephani's.

See all these pecans?

Risky to put pecans
in the crust.

That's gonna be
a nightmare to slice.

Daniel's 15 minutes behind.

He needs to get that thing
in the oven,

or he is gonna go home.

Just get it in there.

Everybody else
has their pie in the oven.

Daniel, finish it
and put it in the oven.

Get it in the oven, let's go.
Don't worry about it.

I might go home because my pie's
not gonna get cooked in time,

and there's not a damn thing
I can do about it.

He needs to get
that thing in the oven,

or he is gonna go home.

Get it in the oven.

Let's go.
Don't worry about it.

Daniel, you need to put that
in the oven.

What are you doing?

Everybody has
their pie in the oven.

- Come on.
- Yes, sir, yes, sir.

I'm the last one
to get it in

and by
a pretty substantial margin.

Now I get to sit and watch

and silently pray

that my pie is edible

by the time
that clock expires.

Right now I think
daniel's going home.

I think he got
his pie in kind of late.

Revenge is sweetest
when it's paid in the end.

And I'm a happy pie maker.

I'm nervous.

It's gonna be close for me.

60 seconds to go.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one.

Hands in the air.

Well done.

Right.
Time to taste

those stunning
blueberry pies.

But more importantly,

find out
who's about to leave

The MasterChef kitchen.

First up,

Jaimee.

Explain to me

exactly what your pie is.

I did an orange-scented
blueberry filling.

it has blood orange juice,
orange liqueur,

and then a little bit of
cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.

You have a slice
of blueberry pie

on your neck

and "bake" written
on your hands.

This had better be, like,

the most life-changing pie
of all time.

I sure hope it is.

The latticework
is beautiful.

The overall flavor...

is awesome.

The floral component
makes so much sense.

And the crust
is nice and flaky.

You pretty much lived up
to the tattoos.

- Good job.
- Oh, thank god.

That's impressive.

The orange aspect
really lifts it up.

Your crust is perfect.

You certainly earned
your ink today.

Good job, Jaimee.

Thank you very much.

The combination of
the blossom water, blueberries--

Bloody delicious.

You've done yourself,

the tattoo,
the pie justice.

Thank you.

And you are now the most famous
blueberry tart in New Jersey.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Elise, please, let's go.

I know everyone's gonna be
watching this pie,

because I've made them
several times,

and everybody knows
that I'm a baker.

So there is no failure option.

Describe the pie please.

Blueberry pie
with mascarpone, lavender,

brown sugar,
and lemon zest.

Is this
your lucky number three pie?

- I hope so, chef.
- Okay.

You can see under there.

The pastry's raw.

It's almost like
a pie's your nemesis.

I'm struggling.
There's way too much flour.

Undercooked base.

Young lady, it's like eating
a mouthful of sand.

I'm lost for words.

Didn't really even cook.

You know,
in a pressure test,

it's right or wrong,

and this unfortunately
is wrong.

The only chance you have

is somebody else
being worse than yours.

Okay, next is Jordan.

It's a play on your basic

everyday American
blueberry pie,

but add some lemon zest
and also some brandy

to deepen that flavor.

Does that white flour

look like it's raw
or cooked to you?

Doesn't look
very cooked.

Raw flour is
one of my pet peeves.

Definitely like
the lemon zest and brandy.

I can taste that.
Your crust is sloppy.

It's altogether
a little sloppy.

Next up, Courtney.

I made a fresh blueberry pie
with meyer lemon zest

and a lattice crust.

The pie's delicious.

Great color.

Great crisp
on the pastry.

Is there anything
you can't do?

I guess when we find it
we'll all know.

Thank you.

Next up, Leslie.

Please, describe your dish.

It's a basic blueberry pie
with butter in the crust

and allspice, ginger,
and cinnamon.

Wow.
It tastes awesome.

It's like an apple pie
and blueberry pie crashed

into each other.

Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.

Great job, leslie.

Leslie nails the pie.

He's been around
for a while,

so he probably
knew Betty Crocker.

Next up, Stephani please.

Describe the pie.

It's a blueberry pie
with brandy and cinnamon,

and it's pecan-crusted
at the bottom,

and then
it's regular lattice

and pecan-crusted
on the top.

Why so many pecans?

But I know you're gonna taste
a lot of blueberry pie today,

so I wanted to just
make it different

and for it to stand out.

The pastry's crumbling
like mad.

I'm struggling.

It's almost falling apart.

I've never made
a blueberry pie before.

The pastry's undercooked,
so it's doughy on the bottom.

But the big issue for me

is that it is so sweet

I wouldn't go near
a second mouthful.

I think the only person

in here tonight
that would like that pie

would be Elise.

Do you think this
is better than Elise's?

Considering that

Elise is a baker,

I think it is.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay, Daniel, let's go.

I'm looking at Daniel.

His crust didn't look like it
was cooked all the way through.

This is my redemption
here, man.

I want you to go home.
You're gone.

Talk about the pie.

I made a very classic,
very simple blueberry pie,

adding a tiny bit
of ginger to the filling.

First of all,
visually it looks unappetizing.

The lattice is uneven.

Pastry's literally
falling apart.

So a huge crack
on your pastry there.

Well, unfortunately,

it looks like you've got
one foot out the door,

'cause that looks bad.

Wow, that came out
better than I thought.

The pastry's a mess,
but the acidity's right,

the sweetness is right,

and the actual filling
is somewhat delicious.

Now how you blended
that correctly...

I don't know.

Let's just call it a fluke.

Turn around, look
at those six cooks behind you.

Is there any of those six,
do you think,

that would have made the same
decisions you made today?

I don't know about them,
but I'm the only guy

that looks at myself
in the mirror every morning.

So I gotta be happy
with the decisions I made.

I think your honor
is better than your pie.

Unfortunately,
for at least one of you,

your journey ends
tonight.

Could all seven
of you home cooks

please come down front?

Would the following people

please step forward?

Jaimee.

Courtney.

And Leslie.

Tonight you three

were absolutely
top of the class

with amazing
blueberry pies.

As a result,
you are all safe

from elimination.

Yes.

Please head up
to the balcony.

- Good job.
- Congratulations.

Daniel

and Jordan.

Well, the bad news is

you are both

way off being
the best tonight.

But the good news
for you two

is there were worse
in the class.

Upstairs.
You're safe.

Good job, guys.
Way to pull through, daniel.

Elise and Stephani,

both of you clearly had
the worst blueberry pies.

Elise, your passion

is your baking.

It is.

- Tonight I didn't get that.
- I understand, chef.

I'm horribly embarrassed
about the product

that I put in front
of you three.

Elise is such a sweetheart,

but I just don't think she has
what it takes to be here.

Stephani,
tonight you put

a combination together
that will never work,

pecans in a blueberry pie.

Sadly, one of you
is leaving us tonight.

It's embarrassing
to fail at something

that people...

know that you can do.

Elise,
please step forward.

Elise, I'm sorry.

Your pie was bad.

We were expecting more.

Unfortunately...

Stephani's was worse.

Make your way
up to the balcony.

Stephani, you made
two big fundamental flaws.

Combining those pecans
inside the dough didn't work.

The amount of sugar
inside that pie was ridiculous.

I'm sorry,
your journey ends tonight

in the MasterChef kitchen.

Please take off your apron,
place it on your bench.

Good night.

I feel very conflicted

because I'm so happy
to still be here.

But I am sad to see
Stephani go.

This, for me,
is really the first time

that a friend
has had to leave.

Today has been
one of the hardest days.

Next time on MasterChef...

Keep your fingers back.

A mystery box challenge

that's alive...

and pinching.

Excited now?

And then an elimination test

has an early front-runner...

It looks like a bomb
has gone off in here.

on the run

Do you have any extra yeast?

- No.
- Nope.

- No, no more yeast.
- Goodbye, Courtney.

resulting
in a shocking farewell

that's hard to swallow.

What have you done?
