Previously, on Hell's Kitchen... Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.

..18 eager chefs arrived at the flagship restaurant at

Caesars Palace Las Vegas.

Oh, my god!

Holy fuck! In the flesh, Chef Gordon Ramsay!

I brought you here to inspire you all because this year's winner

will become the head chef at a Hell's Kitchen restaurant,

just like this, in Lake Tahoe.

I am so excited! I'll see you guys in Los Angeles.

Yes, Chef. I'm, like, pinching myself

over and over and over again.

Here we go!

While the chefs thought they were leaving Las Vegas...

Oh, my god!

This is definitely nowhere near an airport.

..Chef Ramsay revealed surprise number one.

For the first time, Hell's Kitchen will take place in Las Vegas!

Hell's Kitchen, Vegas-style.

Everything in Vegas is a gamble. And then came surprise number two,

a spin on the Signature Dish challenge.

Oh, my. Anybody need any help?

I'm good, I'm done.

The chefs had to go all in with new ingredients.

Elementary school chef... Kenneth, you cook for kids?

Yes, Sir. You had 20 minutes to go

and you started plating this dish. ..learned a lesson of his own.

For me, that's a one. Oh, shit.

While the youngest chef in the competition, Eliott,

with his rice-crusted salmon... You know, you've taken the skin

off. You know, that skin is delicious when it's crispy.

..also needed a few tips.

I'm gonna give you a two out of five.

Yes, Chef.

With Nikki, Amber and Kori all earning...

Four. Four. Great job.

Thank you, Chef. That's a strong four.

..for the Red Team.

It was Irish executive chef Declan...

In the kitchen, what do they call you?

'Big D'.

Ladies, say hello to Big D.

..and his...

Pan-seared New York strip. It's cooked beautifully.

..receiving a perfect... Five out of five. Good job.

..that kept the Blue Team within reach.

I got a five on the first

competition in Hell's Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay!

It all came down to executive chef Marc's dish.

A four means a tie.

A five is a win.

Five. Marc, congratulations.

Yeah, baby! Yeah, baby! The Blue Team won

the first team challenge. I got you.

Great job. I'm your guy!

The following morning... Hell's Kitchen, this is Cody.

Everybody, meet me outside quickly, please.

Alright, Chef.

Right. Good morning.

Good morning, Chef. Time for a special delivery!

And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

Breaker, breaker. We've got a chopper inbound.

We got a care package coming in.

Something is about to go down.

They're gonna drop it! Oh, my god!

What the fuck?

Well, wait a minute. That's a crate.

What are they doing with a - holy shit!

They kicked it out of the helicopter. Oh!

Boom! Bang!

Shrimp crate, ice fucking everywhere.

Whoo!

Wow, what a delivery!

I'm heaven. Shrimp fell from the sky like..

♪ Ahh! ♪

Thank you, shrimp gods. Thank you so much.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

Las Vegas is the shrimp capital, serving 60,000lbs of shrimp daily.

So, for your next challenge, you're gonna be working with...

Shrimp! Chicken! Of course it's shrimp!

In this next individual challenge, each of you will create a stunning

fine-dining dish using the most amazing shrimp.

Tiger shrimp, Mexican shrimp, white shrimp. You name it, we've got it.

Today's winning shrimp dish will go on tonight's opening menu.

Wow. Yes. OK.

To have my dish featured in anything associated to

Chef Ramsay would be phenomenal.

And I really want to win this.

But there's more. Today's winner of this challenge

will receive something very, very valuable.

The Punishment Pass. Fuck.

Marino. Marino, where is the Punishment Pass?

I see a block of ice there, but where is the pass?

It's inside. Inside. Marino, I know I said

preserve the pass, but I didn't say freeze the fucking thing.

What does it look like? Right here.

Wow. So there we are. The amazing Punishment Pass.

That what it looks like. Thank you, Marino.

Thank you. Thank you. Goodbye.

Right, the winner of today's challenge

will receive a Punishment Pass, which will get them out of any

punishment should their team lose.

But, it can only be used once, so use it wisely.

If I was in your shoes right now,

trust me, I'd be desperate to get my hands on this pass.

Man, there's so much power that I could have with that card.

I really want it. It's a no-brainer!

What an ace to have up your sleeve.

I've given out the Punishment Pass before, but this time,

I'm gonna make it even more powerful.

In addition, you'll also be able to select one person

from that winning team to take your place in the punishment.

Oh!

Come on! As if that's not the most evil thing ever.

There is a lot on the line with this challenge.

You've all got 30 minutes.

Your time starts now! Let's go!

Let's get this done! Let's get this, girls.

Let's go!

I am a big-time seafood lover.

I go saltwater fishing in New Jersey all the time.

So I'm feeling damn good about this challenge.

There's no way I can lose it.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Chef, do we have grits here?

Uh, check the dry pantry.

Because I'm a Southern girl at heart,

I'm thinking about going straight to my roots.

Shrimp and grits is something that's near and dear to me.

So there's no grits? Heard.

Houston, we may have a problem.

I was looking for grits but polenta it is.

Gentlemen, less than 20 minutes. Let's go.

Yes, Chef! Yes, Chef!

Guys, we need this water running or no? Who turned it on?

Yeah, I need it, Chef. I'm cleaning prawns.

Going into this challenge, I'm fairly confident.

I've worked with seafood a lot coming from the island of Ireland,

and my dish is gonna be bangin'!

Gentlemen, we got this again.

What do you got, Nik?

I am working on a sushi rice on the bottom, toasted sesame seeds.

Asian-themed, so a little bit of Thai chilli and some soy.

Yeah? That's ambitious.

I'm ambitious. Yeah? Good to see. Good to see.

I know that it has a really high chance

of not playing out well for me, but I would

rather go big or go home and be as ambitious as I possibly can.

Ladies, we're halfway. 15 minutes to go.

Alright, I've got 15 minutes to make this happen.

Kenneth, what do we got going, buddy?

I got my vegetables cooking down with some bacon.

Yo, today, I need to turn this around. Yo, I got a one yesterday.

A freaking one. And I'm getting this down to get it cooked,

and get the flavour to start coming out.

I'm here to knock this out of the park.

I'm here to show Chef Ramsay that I can cook my ass off.

I didn't learn from a cookbook. I didn't go to culinary school.

I learned from my great-grandmother.

Three minutes! Just over. Let's go.

Eugh, god. That's fucking gross. Fuck.

I'm definitely feeling really frantic.

My components aren't coming together the way that I really want them to.

So, I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm feeling a

little bit frazzled right now.

Eugh. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Hopefully, that will suffice. Just under 30 seconds to go, guys!

Come on! Let's go!

30 seconds. Fuck my life!

Lemon? Anyone got a half - lemon, anything like that?

Lemons in the back! It's in the back on the pantry!

Ten seconds. Nine, eight...

Get in there, get in there, get in there.

..seven, six... Come on, come on, come on, hustle!

Let's go. ..five, four...

Come on, come on, come on. Let's go, let's go let's go, let's go.

..three... Come on, guys. ..two, one. And serve!

Whoo! Let's go. Well done. Looking good.

Listen carefully. I'm not tasting all of these dishes.

I'm gonna rely on two exceptional palates,

Christina and Jason. Christina, you taste all of

the dishes from the Red Team. Yes, Chef.

Jason, you taste all the dishes from the Blue Team.

Yes, Chef. I'll be back in a moment.

I'll be up in my office, OK?

Yes, Chef. Thank you, Chef.

Alright, Declan, what do we have?

In the preliminary taste test, Chef Ramsay

is looking for his sous chefs to determine the best dishes

on each of their teams.

Chef Jason, I can't tell what he's taking from my dish.

Huh. Thank you. Back in line.

But I'm very happy with the way that my dish turned out.

Is there any seasoning in here? Yes, Chef.

Salt, pepper, a little bit of rice vinegar, Chef.

It's the tiger shrimp

and the cherry tomatoes and Fresno chillies.

The sauce is a garlic beurre blanc.

What do you got?

Linguine with a pancetta and a spicy tomato broth.

One shrimp? One shrimp.

We are in Vegas and Chef Christina has got one of the best poker faces

I have seen. Thank you, Chef. Yep, you got it.

And you walk away going, "What the fuck?"

Like, tell me something. Give me a nod.

Give me a 'eh'. Give me a 'mmm'.

Something. Thank you.

After tasting each of their team's dishes,

chefs Christina and Jason are ready to make their recommendations

to Chef Ramsay.

I want to spend my time with the chefs that have the potential

to become the next head chef at Hell's Kitchen Lake Tahoe.

And so I'm doing something I've never done before.

I'm trimming the fat early.

Fuck!

So, Christina and Jason, I want to taste the worst two

performing dishes from the Blue Team, and the worst two performing

dishes from the Red Team. Fuck me.

I'm not carrying deadweight.

The chef that has cooked the dish that I like least

will be leaving Hell's Kitchen.

With Chef Ramsay raising the stakes

on the Punishment Pass challenge...

The chef that has cooked the dish that I like least

will be leaving Hell's Kitchen now.

..it is no longer a fight for victory.

It is also a fight for survival.

Jason, who was responsible

for your worst two dishes?

Eliott, Chef. Oh, fuck!

And the second?

Yo, I don't want him to call Kenneth. I'm, like, praying.

"Don't call my name, Chef!

Don't call my name!

Please don't call me!"

Kenneth, Chef.

OK. Christina, the weakest two dishes on the Red Team.

First one is who?

This is tough.

The first one is gonna be Nicole, Chef.

And the second? Jordan.

Jordan? Mm-hm.

Wasn't expecting that.

You ever been hit by a Mack Truck?

'Cause I feel like I just got blindsided by one.

Nikki, Jordan, Eliott, Kenneth,

make your way to the front of the pass, now.

Oh, my. I didn't see that coming.

I didn't see that coming.

I'm gonna taste all four dishes.

From there, I'll decide which one of you is going home.

Nikki, you're up first. Oh, man.

Describe the dish, please.

This is jasmine sushi rice, and chargrilled tiger shrimp,

and a little bit of -I know.

And a little bit of... I'm not laughing. Why am I holding

it up there like that? Because it's not cleaned.

Rule number one, when prepping shrimp,

what's the one thing we do? Clean the shrimp.

That's the first thing you do!

Like, who wanna eat shit? I don't. Do you?

Yo, that's like leaving a baby walking around with a shitty diaper

on all day and don't even care.

I asked for a dish to go on a menu.

I wouldn't put that anywhere near a cafe.

Now take that dish back.

Step back in line.

Following Nikki's dirty dish, Eliott steps up to the plate with his...

Sauteed white shrimp with a spring vegetable succotash.

And that's it? Just sauteed vegetables?

The time really caught up to me, Chef.

It's just a clumpy, greasy pot of vegetables with sauteed shrimp.

Is it worse than Nikki's?

Eliott, it is worse.

Go back in line. Nikki, back in the kitchen. You're safe.

I cracked under the pressure.

I cracked hard. But I know how to cook.

I just have to be able to recover from this and move on.

Jordan comes forward with her...

Sauteed tiger shrimp with a garlic beurre blanc.

Presentation looks bleak.

Can you see that shrimp there?

Yes, Sir. What does that need?

Um, it needs to be cooked some more.

Opening night menu, and now

you present me a shrimp that's not even cooked in the middle.

I've cooked steaks that are bigger than my damn head perfectly,

and I can't cook a fucking shrimp.

Like, that is some rookie shit.

Is it worse than Eliott's?

Jordan, say thank you to Eliott 'cause you've just dodged a bullet.

Take that shit back in the kitchen. Thank you, Chef.

Well, the one thing I can confirm is that

the Red Team is staying intact. Blue Team, is it Kenneth or Eliott?

I'm nervous as hell. I'm shaking.

I'm trembling. Come on, shrimp gods, help me out here!

Kenneth, describe the dish.

I did a penne pasta,

Chef, with sauteed peppers, bacon, garlic and mushrooms.

What the fuck is that?

What is that?

I have no clue, Chef. It look like a potato.

A potato? And I didn't even use potatoes.

What the fuck?

Blue Team, we have a potato that

has dropped in Kenneth's dish. The fuck.

Who's got potato in their fucking dish?

No-one. None of us.

None of us, Chef. Oh, my god!

Potatogate! You don't know how that got in there?

Chef, I didn't touch potatoes.

Potatoes wasn't even a part of my dish.

Taste that. It's a block of parmesan, you fuckin' doughnut!

Did you put the parmesan in there?

Yes, Chef, but I grated the parmesan cheese.

Grated? It's a block of parmesan in there!

We're trying not to laugh but, Kenneth, come on, man.

Like, it's a piece of parmesan. You know, you can't fix stupid.

Do you wanna swallow that or do you want to spit it out?

Spit it out. Yo, I know the difference between

a potato and parmesan cheese, but it looked just like a potato.

It's a mess. Take this back.

Step in line next to Eliott.

Kenneth, Eliott, two appalling dishes.

The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is...

Kenneth.

It's time to leave Hell's Kitchen. Give me your jacket.

Eliott, back in the kitchen and wake up.

Yes, Chef.

Thank you.

That's heavy as fuck.

Coming to Hell's Kitchen, I had a lot to prove.

I thought I was gonna make it further in the competition then

what I did, but it's a learning experience.

At the end of the day,

I feel that my great-grandmother is smiling down.

I really did her proud.

I made it this far.

Really don't have anything else to say.

I'm in desperate need of a palate cleanser.

Christina and Jason, we do have three outstanding dishes, right?

We absolutely do.

Excellent. Exceptional. Who are they, please?

My top three dishes, Chef, are going to be Amber,

Lauren, Syann, Chef.

Jason?

Josh, Chef.

Chef, Declan. Cody, Chef.

Boom! Damn, Chef Jason actually chose me! I thought he hated me.

Amber, let's go, please. Present your dish.

So, I have for you a citrus butter-poached

tiger shrimp with a celery root puree.

Listen, wow.

The flavour there is beautiful. The puree, super-smooth.

The shrimp, cooked beautifully. It shows great flair.

Thank you, Chef. A lovely combination.

For now, step back in line, please. Thank you.

Yes, thank god.

It really means a lot, this early on in the competition, to have Chef

saying that my dish is really a standout dish.

Cody, let's go. Up next,

executive sous chef Cody follows Amber's successful dish with...

On the left side, you have the spot prawn in a tartare.

On the right side, you have an escabeche of the blue prawn.

My dish looks fucking banging.

The dish actually feels like you

spent 60 minutes cooking it, not 30.

Is it better than Amber's?

It is better than Amber's. Congratulations.

Thank you, Chef. Good job.

Amber, back in the kitchen, please. Thank you.

With Cody currently holding the top spot,

Chef Christina's second choice, Lauren, is betting on her...

Chimichurri grilled prawn with a chorizo cream sauce

around the edge. ..to put her on top.

I mean, visually, it looks beautiful. I love the colours.

They really pop. I mean, that screams 'Las Vegas'.

Wow. Is it better than Cody's?

Lauren,

it is better than Cody's. Congratulations. Good job.

Thank you, Chef. Thank you.

Back in line. Lauren is now the one to beat

as Chef Jason's second choice, Declan, hopes his...

Pan-seared blue spot shrimp with a coconut and pineapple salsa.

..impresses Chef Ramsay.

Already, I can tell that puree is silky.

Really good.

It's a very good dish.

But Lauren's is still the best.

Taking out two boys? Oh, man, it feels great.

Bye-bye, boys.

Sy, let's go, please. With two members of the Blue

Team unable to top Lauren, Syann hopes her take on...

Shrimp and grits.

You used polenta, right? Yes, Chef.

..will finally unseat her.

Slightly opaque in the centre.

Grilled beautifully. This has Southern charm, young lady.

God almighty, this is a tough one.

Ask Lauren to go back into the kitchen, please. Great job.

Damn it, I really thought I was gonna win that shit.

Yes! Hey! Hey!

Now it's between me and Josh.

Describe the dish, please. You have sauteed tiger prawns

with an asparagus, fennel salad, toasted almonds, orange segments.

A little bit of fennel fronds in there, as well.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this challenge.

I mean, I'm an executive chef.

So I think I'm one of the strongest competitors here.

So, I mean, you got the balance right with the citrus.

God, this is really hard. It's a really good dish.

Step back in line for a moment.

The dish that's going to be on the menu tonight, and the winner

of that incredible Punishment Pass.

Congratulations...

In the first, all-important individual challenge,

Chef Ramsay is trying to decide...

The dish that's going to be on the menu tonight,

and the winner of that incredible Punishment Pass.

..between executive chef Josh's tiger prawns and asparagus salad

and line cook Syann's shrimp and polenta.

Congratulations...

Sy!

Well done. Yeah, girl.

I thought I had this challenge.

Damn it, I was so close!

So close to that Punishment Pass.

Well done. Good job.

One more thing for you. Here's your Punishment Pass.

Thank you.

Sy gets a Get Out of Gaol Free card!

Head back to the dorms. Never underestimate me.

The South always wins. Period.

You can all drop your books, wherever you are,

and find your knife bags at the pass.

I'm obsessed with knives. I've got knives everywhere.

I'm, like, so pumped to get these Zwilling J A Henckels knives.

It's the nicest knife set.

With their new knives in tow... Everybody finish with their

Christmas presents now? Good. ..both teams are now sharpening

up on the entire Hell's Kitchen

menu before tonight's first dinner service.

I'm gonna start with the beef tartare.

We'll end up getting a partial tenderloin.

It's like Goldilocks. Not too big, not too small.

I am super-pumped going into dinner service tonight,

and I'm looking at the team.

We are so focused.

You're gonna hit it with some balsamic vinaigrette.

Just enough to coat it? Exactly, yeah.

This is the best risotto you'll ever have, OK? We're just gonna sweat it.

We're not sauteing it. We're not caramelising it. We're sweating it.

Once you're all the way foamed out, just hit it with a little

bit of chicken stock.

Chef Christina and Chef Jason are just running through the menu

so super, super quick. Lightning fast.

Two baby leeks split in half.

If it's too hot, it's going to melt the cheese.

Don't forget the lamb sauce.

And we all know that we're gonna have to cook this menu in an hour.

So, the Welly will come up with the red wine demi.

So, the crispy skin is the best part of the salmon, right?

I'm coming off of two challenges where I didn't do so well.

And, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

If we're going too fast, keep up.

With an intense full day of training behind them...

Are we on that side or on this side?

We're here. This is us, right here.

..the chefs have been assigned their stations.

Let's go, guys!

And it's time for Vegas to experience their...

First service! Yeah, boys, we've got this.

Who's on fish?

Are you on fish? Who's on fish? I'm on fish.

We're getting ready for dinner service.

Best-case scenario, we end up making the Blue Team our bitch.

Mary Lou, you wanna keep eyes on that reduction.

I'm gonna be honest with you. I forgot that bitch was there.

Worst-case scenario, I fuck up everything completely,

I get sent home and then I go back

to my own kitchen, everybody calls me a loser, and I cry.

Marino! Yes, Chef.

Open Hell's Kitchen. Let's go. Subito.

Hell's Kitchen is the hottest reservation in Las Vegas...

Cheers, guys!

..with tables booked months in advance for the most anticipated

opening in the entertainment capital of the world.

Boys and girls, we're open. Alright, let's do this, man.

Yeah. Chef Ramsay is testing

these two brigades with the biggest

and most complex menu Hell's Kitchen has ever seen.

I'll have the New York strip steak.

I'll have the meat salad.

The meat salad. I'm gonna do the crab cakes.

Chef Ramsay has invited VIPs to dine at Chef's Tables in each kitchen.

Wow! Comedian and actor

Wayne Brady will be dining on the blue side with his family.

Good evening, Sir. Good to see you, Sir.

How are you? Welcome. It's a pleasure.

Thank you so much for having us.

And restaurateur and TV personality

Lisa Vanderpump and her husband will be seated in the red kitchen.

OK, Puffy, sit down. They're gonna be cooking

some chicken for you, I think.

Blue Team, on order. Here we go. Out the gate strong.

Four covers, table one. One special at tableside.

Two scallop, one risotto. Yes, Chef!

Here's to the Blue. Blue Team. Josh, you're in control of this

now, yes? Yes, Chef.

Let's go. Fire scallops.

Fire the scallops? Eight minutes on risotto.

I need seven. Is that lobster tail working?

Lobster tail's down. Josh.

Let me know, alright? I got you.

While the Blue Team get started on their appetisers...

This is the ticket for Mrs Vanderpump.

Yes. ..over in the red kitchen...

Chef's Table, two covers. One carbonara, one risotto. Yes?

Yes, Chef. Let's go, guys.

That's us. We're on.

How long for our Chef's Table, please?

Five minutes. Five minutes.

Five minutes. Five out!

Gordon!

I know. I'm sorry. It's coming.

Right, uh... So is Christmas.

..Mrs Vanderpump is starving. Let's go.

So much stress and strain on them.

I know, and also, I just kind of made it a little bit worse

by telling him, "I'm starving. Hurry up."

How long, carbonara?

Coming up right now to the pass, Chef.

Let's go!

Come on, ladies! Pick up the momentum, please. Let's go!

Coming in hot, hot, hot! Carbonara? OK, watch it. OK, here it goes.

Go.

You didn't fucking taste it. I think it needs a touch more salt.

Perfect. Go.

With Kori signing off on Amber's risotto...

Risotto in the pass?

Got it. Thank you. Walking.

..all the Red Team needs is a perfectly cooked lobster

to go on top from Nikki.

Oh, fucking hell. Jesus Christ.

Sorry, Lisa.

Hey, come here.

Oh, fuck.

Breaking news, the fucking lobster's raw!

And it's for Mrs Vanderpump.

Congratulations, it's fucking raw!

Perfect risotto completely wasted over raw lobster.

Great. Who cooked the lobster?

I did, Chef.

OK, I'm feeling the stress. I need a drink.

I think an apology would be nice.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. No, I think - hey.

I sincerely apologise, guys.

I'll have that refired for you as soon as humanly possible, OK?

I'm so sorry.

Miss Nikki, you don't cry in front of anybody.

Oh!

You cry in the walk-in, where nobody sees you.

And then you walk out and say, "Oh, shit, I've got pepper in my eye."

While Nikki wipes the tears away after her failed risotto...

Scallops coming up now. One minute!

One minute. Heard. ..over in the blue kitchen,

the men work to push out their first appetisers of the evening.

Scallops are ready to go.

You good to go? Coming out right now.

Risotto, can I pass?

Coming down, Chef. They're nice scallops.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Nice colour on the scallops. Yes, Chef.

We just rocked it out. Let's go! Go on.

We've got to keep this momentum going. If we can keep this up,

it's plain sailing all the way to the finish line.

Service, please. Let's go.

As the Blue Team pushes out appetisers at a rapid pace...

Polenta and shrimp. Thank you.

No problem. ..over in the red kitchen,

Nikki cooks for redemption with her second attempt at risotto.

Lobster's ready. Are you guys ready? Let's go. Ready to walk.

Alright. Walking. I'm so hungry.

Did you taste that? I did.

It's delicious, Chef. Very nice. Let's go.

Service, please. Thank you. No, sit down.

You've got to wait for your chicken. OK, well, that looks nice.

With the VIP table satisfied, Chef Ramsay is pushing ahead with

the rest of the dining room's... Appetisers.

Two risotto, two scallop. Heard?

Yes, Chef. How many scallops was that?

Chef Ramsay, I do not understand what you are saying.

Scallops are in, yes? My brain can't even wrap itself

around the accent and the speed and the volume of your voice.

Scallops. How long? Scallops. How long?

One minute.

I have one order of scallops.

Did you call? Did you give me two orders?

Fish! Where's the other scallop?

30 seconds. Hold on. Hey, look, young lady.

Can't you cook two scallops at the same time?

I can. I misheard, Chef. I apologise.

You misheard? Look at her.

Look, she's going to cry!

What is going on? I can't keep it together.

You can't keep it together? I can keep it together, but...

It's alright, Chef. She's good. We got her, Chef.

All of you, come here. Fucking put - come here! Fucking come here!

Yes, Chef. Let's go.

Gordon looks like he's under pressure.

What's happened? And why are you crying?

Are you done?

It's 50 minutes in to dinner service...

Are you done? ..and Nikki's meltdown on the fish

station has forced Chef Ramsay to ask her a critical question.

You're done?

No. You can't bounce back.

I can bounce back, Chef. Let's get a grip a little bit,

shall we? Yes, Chef.

Get in the game. Yes, Chef!

Quickly! Yes, Chef!

I can't throw away this entire competition in the first dinner

service because I got in my own head too much.

We're going to finish dinner service tonight.

Not an option.

I need to recover from this and move on.

Behind, walking scallops.

Good. Nice colour on the scallops.

With Nikki's scallops winning over diners...

How's your scallop taste?

They're the most tender scallops I've ever had.

..the Red Team earns rave reviews. Pretty fucking amazing.

And now a wave of appetisers is leaving the red kitchen.

Scallops, lobster, risotto! Service, please.

While over in the blue kitchen... Carbonara going!

..the men are quickly finishing their appetisers...

30 seconds. Keep going! Garnish coming up right now.

Service, please. Here you are. Prego.

..and are now moving on to entrees.

On order, Blue Team. Chef's Table, entrees.

One duck, one lamb, one New York strip, one Wellington. Heard?

Yes, Chef.

Lamb's going in. Lamb's going in.

Lamb down.

Being a father of three, one thing that I definitely know how

to do is throw some meat on a grill.

So, between myself and Peter, I think we're gonna nail this.

Wellington's going in! Wellington, heard.

There's two things that we do as being fathers.

We tell bad jokes and we grill meat.

Yo, this is done.

Chef Table. Where's the lamb?

Right here, Chef! Walking, Chef. Coming down!

Lamb and duck coming down, Chef.

Hey. All of you.

Just touch that duck. I mean, just feel how firm it is on the outside.

It is overcooked, Chef. Overcooked? It's fucked!

Bounce back, boys. Let's bounce back.

Come on, guys! Take that shit back! Yes, Chef.

With Peter bringing the Blue Team to a halt...

Peter, duck's served what? Medium.

Pink! Pink.

..Chef Ramsay heads to the red kitchen,

looking for something positive. On order, four covers, table 32.

Listen up. Two Wellington, two New York strip.

Yes, Chef! How long till we can fire garnish?

Nine minutes on Wellington! Heard.

I need eight minutes. Heard, heard.

Steak? Give it to me. I'm from Texas!

Like, if I don't know how to cook a steak,

they'll probably kick me out.

Damn, that's sexy!

That's the same colour as me.

I must be sexy. All I need to do is go in guns blazing, so they say.

The New York strip. Let's go.

Do you want me to walk it? Yes, please.

Chef Christina, steaks to your right. Garnish.

We all got this shit.

We all got this shit. Oh, boy.

There's no colour on there.

Hey. Yes, Chef.

Just all of you, come here. Come here.

No colour. Look at that.

Who's to blame for this boiled meat? It's me, Chef.

Refire New York strip. Yes, Chef.

How long? Eight minutes.

This duck's gonna overcook. Might need to refire another one.

Huh? This duck's gonna be overcooked.

Need to fire another one, man. Fuck!

New York strip, lamb, duck, for the Chef's Table.

How long for the refire? Six minutes, Chef. Six minutes.

Is that lamb in? No, Chef, it is not. The lamb or...

The lamb for the Chef's Table is not even in?

Ahh, fuckin' son of a bitch.

It's for our Chef's Table! Wow.

I'm getting pissed off now. They are getting reamed.

Now I'm getting pissed now. If it's not ready, let us know.

This stuff is not rocket science. We're just cooking.

It's three minutes. It's three minutes, Cody.

That lamb, three minutes, realistically, is that true?

That's correct. Yes?

Yes. If it's not, that's fucking it,

alright? Cody's over there giving

me some heat. And it's, like, "Dude, I am fuckin'

trying to get this food out." How long, Blue Team?

How close are we on the garnish?

Garnish.

How long, Peter?

Um... Where is it? Come on!

Eliott, did you walk on the garnish?

Eliott, what the fuck are you doing?

I should give Eliott a hug. Get involved, Eliott.

Yes, Chef. Help your team!

Yes, Chef. Poor Eliott.

♪PoorEliott. Look at the energy in here.

That lamb... He's fucking - shut it.

He's fucking standing there doing jack-shit.

I'm keeping my head down because I can't believe what's going on.

Eliott's like ET. You're lost in space.

"Eliott!"

Going up right now. Behind. Behind. In front.

Oh, no way.

Fuck off. Fuck off.

Oh, shit.

I'm fucking done. Fucking done!

That's my food. I'm done!

So, your duck. Now your lamb.

Now your - I don't know what fucking planet you're on.

I've never seen anything like this.

You, you and you, fuck off. Get out!

Yes, Chef.

This is our first service and I'm being sent back to the dorm.

I can't even fucking believe this.

Fuck!

Goddamn it! Oh, that really fuckin' hurt.

I shouldn't have done that with that hand.

I am fucking livid right now.

It's 90 minutes in to dinner service.

You, you and you, fuck off. Get out!

Yes, Chef. And with lacklustre

performances on garnish and meat,

Eliott, Drew and Peter have been sent back to the dorm.

Goddamn it!

VIP. They've waited long enough. One duck, one lamb,

one New York strip, one Wellington. Yes, Chef.

Everyone, triple - check everything.

Yeah. On your left, Chef. Lamb and Welly.

New York strip, Chef.

Walking, duck.

It's nicely cooked.

Oh, thank god. Suck it up. Bounce back. Let's keep going.

Fries?

OK.

Hey, all of you, come here.

This is so stressful.

Come here. Chef's Table there.

I'm gonna be able to drink before we get our food.

Look at these fries.

They're soft as shit.

Was that my lamb that he just threw?

All of you, get out!

Get out!

Serve the two main courses. Let me do the other two.

Drop some fries, please.

Fuck.

Eugh.

I've never not finished a service.

Tonight was an absolute epic fucking failure. It was embarrassing.

The worst service of my entire fucking career, by far.

So, I have the duck for you, Madam. Yay! It looks beautiful.

As Chef Ramsay quickly corrects the Blue Team's mistakes...

Serve that one steak, please.

..over in the red kitchen,

Amber has decided that she should be the one to refire Mary Lou's steaks.

Yeah? Sorry.

Let me figure it out. I'm gonna fix it and I'm gonna make it better.

'Cause I bet if I give him, like, some raw steak again,

he'd throw that back in my face and be like, "Bloody hell!

You purple - haired witch. Why did you give me this steak?"

And I'd be like, "Chef, no!"

I'm behind, I'm behind, I'm behind.

Oh, wait. My heart is like...

Nicely cooked, the New York strip.

Thank you, Chef. Service, please.

Hoo-hoo.

Last table, ladies.

Two Wellington, one halibut and New York strip, yes?

Yes, Chef. I'm six minutes out. What about you guys?

We're six minutes.

Perfect. We're right on the same page,

so holler at each other, we'll get it taken care of.

Walking, entrees. Service, please. Let's go.

This is incredible.

Incredible. Let me have another little bite.

Girls, that was rough, but you know what?

We fucking finished. Congratulations.

Shut down.

Heard. Yes, Chef.

Tonight, both kitchens were disappointing.

However, the Red Team bounced back and actually finished service.

Now, the Blue Team imploded tonight.

Peter, you fucked the duck.

You were a disaster on meat.

Drew, the lamb.

I can't get a duck out. Can't get a lamb out.

But then we had the third chef from the Blue Team tonight.

Eliott literally stood out for doing nothing.

Now, try and do something as a team and come to a consensus

on the two chefs that you do not want as teammates.

Is that clear? Yes, Chef.

Now fuck off. Yes, Chef.

That was rough.

We went down as a team, but I'm disappointed in my performance.

I know that my main thing tonight was lack of communication,

but I just didn't really have direction.

All of us have a sense of what to do, and if you're gonna look at me

and say you didn't have direction,

it's really not your time to be here.

You have to understand.

I have experience. This is my life. This is everything to me.

Drew, you shut down. You put out three raw lambs.

I mean, Eliott, he didn't fuck up as bad. Eliott's fucking in space.

He didn't speak. I didn't even know he was there.

But, Drew, you fucked up the most.

I've been doing this 13 years. There's not an excuse.

But is that gonna keep happening? No, it's not.

Are you sure? That's never gonna happen again.

This is an eye-opener. This is not gonna happen again.

You know, I know I had my fair share of faults tonight

and I know that I fucked up, but I never stopped trying.

And the same can't be said for other people in this kitchen.

I don't know that it was all on me, guys.

Peter, first duck was overcooked, second one was raw.

I mean, there's no excuse for that.

And,

I saw it. I was right there, I was one guy over from you.

I came across the country, bro. I'm not going up, man.

I don't know who we're putting up, but I ain't going nowhere, bro.

Let's get one thing clear. Opening nights are never easy.

But tonight never went as planned. Yes, Chef.

Marc, Blue Team's first nominee, and why?

We're sending up Drew. He was totally lost on meat tonight.

That lamb was, in many ways, unforgiveable, and was ultimately

what led to the demise of our team tonight.

Marc, Blue Team's second nominee, and why?

The second nominee, Chef...

we're sending up Eliott.

Eliott. Why?

Seeing him lost was very eye-opening.

And for that reason, he's going up tonight.

Eliott and Drew, step forward, please.

Eliott, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

I lost my focus. Lost my sense of direction.

But I'm confident that's not

a full representation of what I can do.

How do you lose focus when you did nothing?

I was forgetting what goes with what.

"What goes with what"?

Fuck me.

Drew, what happened to the teamwork on the meat section tonight?

It went out the window, Chef.

Things were obviously crazy, as you could see.

And we didn't bounce back.

I had a bad service, but I have more to prove, Chef.

Are you a better chef that Eliott? I can definitely

perform better than Eliott.

Eliott, are you a better chef than Drew?

Chef, we have skills in different places, clearly.

Oh, my fucking god.

What the fuck does that mean?

Are you a better chef than Drew?

Yes, or fucking no?

The answer is no, Chef. Give me your jacket.

Fuck yeah.

Drew, back in line. Yes, Chef.

You just made it easy for me.

Goodnight. Yes, Chef.

Coming into this competition,

I knew it was gonna be an ass-kicking.

Didn't necessarily realise it would be that bad.

It's kind of a knife to the heart.

It really sucks.

But I'm only just getting warmed up. Love me or hate me,

you're gonna see this face again. I guarantee it.

I wasn't expecting a perfect service.

But when you stopped communicating, that fucked me off.

That is lesson one in Hell's Kitchen.

That's what the Red Team did tonight,

and the Blue Team failed to do. Get out of here.

Yes, Chef.

This is the eye-opener that I need. I know that I made mistakes tonight.

Unfortunately, my fellow chefs

haven't even come close to seeing the best side of me.

I have a lot more to show, and the best is yet to come.

Once again, slightly good news, slightly bad news.

The people who have been holding us back are gone.

Now I'm very confident in our team.

Tomorrow's a whole new day. I want that Red Team to fucking suffer.

I know we can crush them.

So far, two boys have gone.

For the girls. So we need to keep this momentum going.

We cannot stop.

We have to maintain this.

Eliminating a chef this early is usually quite hard.

But tonight, I didn't have to eliminate a chef.

I had to eliminate Eliott.

Next time on Hell's Kitchen...

Everything I say, you gotta one - up me. Why?

..will Marc's frustration...

We gotta win tomorrow.

That's it. ..crack the Blue Team?

Let's focus on getting this done. Stop the dick-swinging, dude.

I get it. Dude, there's a monkey on a bicycle

just going around in your head. Uh-oh. This ain't good.

This guy's ugly. I'll do whatever it takes.

And will Fabiola be able to handle the heat?

I want you to try to breathe.

Or is it all just a ploy to oust her enemies?

Just take me to the room, please. I hate to say it, but I call bull.

All next time... Ahh, fuck y'all.

..on a conniving... Don't take it personal.

..episode of Hell's Kitchen.
