Announcer: Previously,
it was sink or swim...

Our lifeguards are arriving.

when the Top 19 faced
their first team challenge.

- Woo!
- Brien's Red Team...

Gordon: Congratulations. Well done.

navigated their way to victory,

- leaving Paige...
- What do you think?

I would not want to eat it.

to sink to the bottom
of the pressure test.

Tonight,

a mystery box challenge that's alive...

Eboni: Oh, God.

and kicking.

- And then...
- Watch and learn.

a Gordon Ramsay master class
leads to an elimination...

What do I need? A ( bleep ) straw?

that's hard to swallow.

- ( coughs )
- ( gasps )

Woohoo!

- All right, let's do this.
- Let's go!

Newton: I came to MasterChef
to show these young kids

that this old guy has some spunk in him,

and it's been a great ride.

I rodeo'ed my way to the Top 18,

sent some people
packing like I promised.

You've already come a
long, long way to get here,

but, trust me, this competition
is just getting started.

Because it's time to be tested yet again

in your next big mystery box challenge.

Are you ready to find out
what you have to work with?

All: Yes, Chef.

All right, on the count of three,

you will lift those boxes.

One, two, three.

Lift.

( squealing, laughing )

- We got a live one!
- Shut up. Oh!

In your box, you have some of the
finest shellfish the world has to offer,

including Pacific sea
urchin, soft-shell crabs,

clams, green-lipped mussels,

beautiful geoduck,

and one of my favorites,
Santa Barbara spot prawns.

I grew up in New
England. I love seafood.

These are things that speak to who I am

and I just love all little clammies.

This challenge is totally made for me.

Oh, my gosh, this is amazing.

Win this challenge, and you will get

a huge advantage moving forward.

You'll have 60 minutes to make us

the absolute best shellfish dish

of your entire lives.

Your 60 minutes starts...

- now! Let's go!
- Woohoo!

Let's go.

Right now, guys, look at this
beautiful array of shellfish.

Now, I have a confession.

The sea urchin has to be my favorite.

And you have to open the sea urchin

with such delicacy.

Man, gonna have to go with
something a little more heavy duty.

I'll be so excited if
anyone works with that.

What I'm very excited about is
these Santa Barbara spot prawns.

But they're very tricky.
You've gotta remove the head,

because if you don't do
that, the flesh becomes mealy.

Now, one of the stranger shellfish
out here tonight is the geoduck clam.

Just to get into this geoduck you
need to blanch it for a few seconds.

Boiling water, then cold water,
make sure it's rinsed out.

Slice it thin. Doesn't need a lot.

Maybe some salt, some
lemon juice, some olive oil.

My big question to you guys, anyone
going to have the balls tonight

to actually work with
one of those things?

God. It can't be jumping
around. How do I kill it?

Grab the head. Rip it off.

Pretend it was cheatin' on you.

The dish that I'm making
is called jeweled dumplings.

It's going to have
geoduck and spotted prawn

and mushrooms cooked in
a Cantonese pepper sauce.

My dad's from Hong Kong, so I'm going
to fry it in the Cantonese style.

This is a difficult dish.

I'm making my own dumpling skin,

and so I'm really pulling out my A game.

I'm getting there.

I am doing fried soft-shell crab,

uni butter, with a corn cake.

I grew up fishing--
a huge tomboy.

I'm a nutritionist, so I
absolutely love seafood,

and just really excited to work
with something that's so fresh.

Oh, no, no.

Coming from an Italian household,

I really know how to make pastas.

It's how I won this apron right here.

So, we are going to
do a sea urchin pasta,

some mussels with a
little bit of our chard,

and then we're going to be roasting
up a couple of our shrimp here.

Guys, just under 30 minutes to go!

- You okay, Jethro?
- Oh, yeah.

This is up your alley, isn't it?

This is mine to lose right now.

- All right, Jeff.
- Hello. How are we today?

Now, you look like you are
setting yourself up for success.

I'm ready. I'm prepping
everything so that way--

- This is a beautiful board.
- Thank you so very much.

What do you got going on?

I'm going to bring in a
little bit of Spanish flavor.

We're going to do a sautéed mussel dish

with a little bit of chorizo sausage,

and we're also going to do a nice
little bit of Shrimp al Ajillo,

so it's going to be
jam-packed with that flavor.

and a tribute to my hometown in Tampa.

Tell me a little bit
about your family life.

Well, I've got an incredible fiancée,

who sacrifices everything so that way
I can be living out my dream right now,

and raising our little boy,

who is just three months old today.

And this is my tribute to my little boy,

and I want to make him proud.

When you cook from that place,
usually great things happen.

I love the passion. Good luck.

Thank you so very much, you two.

Get a little bit of some fat.

- Jason.
- Hello, Chef Ramsay.

- How are you doing?
- Doing very well, thank you.

The look on your face, when you
unveiled that box was like Christmas Day.

It's beautiful. All the
shellfish is just really--

thank you so much for providing
something so wonderful.

- You're very welcome.
- I appreciate it.

Right, what's the dish?
What are you using?

The clams, I've created a quick stock.

- There is ginger in here
- Smart.

I have some of the
shrimp shells in there.

I'm going to try tempura spot prawns

and I'd like to use some
of the richness of the uni.

Working from a musical palate,
you know teaching orchestra,

I'm working with different instruments,

just orchestrating
that and seeing how--

And you're the conductor.

- Yes, I am.
- And I'm the taster.

- I hope I can do you proud.
- Good luck.

- Okay, thank you, Chef.
- Let's go.

Guys, 15 minutes remaining.

- All right, Newton!
- Yes, ma'am?

As a Texan ranch owner,
where do you have experience

working with these ingredients?

I love fresh seafood,
but, unfortunately,

up in north Texan ranch country,

I have to go 100 miles
to get fresh fish.

But just from things I've heard,

we'll do a little
Camarones de la Diablo,

mussels as an appetizer.

We'll have po'boy sandwich
with the soft-shell crabs.

So, your wife has been a
huge supporter of you, right?

She's allowing you to kinda
be here doing your thing.

Well, you know, it's the beauty
of my wife, my kids, friends...

allowing me this beautiful trip here.

And to be here and cook
and be in this experience?

- There's nothing better.
- Let's taste that dream.

- Thank you.
- Try to be that next MasterChef.

- Thank you, Chef.
- All right.

Thank you very much.

Can I get that salt back, please?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Aarón: All right,
everyone, 10 minutes left

for this beautiful dish,

utilizing these true jewels of the sea.

I'm so impressed. Jason, okay,

- he is using, minimum, four of the shellfish.
- What?

He's opened the sea urchin
beautifully. He's steaming the clams.

He started a stock.

He's flavored it with bonito flakes.

This guy seriously
knows what he's doing.

Aarón: We visited with Jeff,

and he's going this
kind of Spanish route.

He wants to do
Camarones al Ajillo--

kind of this traditional kind
of mussel dish, tons of garlic.

I'm going to go with
a little more garlic.

He's got this deeper thing
that he's fighting for.

He's got a three month old at home.

He's got a fiancée that's
holding down the fort.

Aarón: And, even Newton, big
cowboy, meat and potato guy,

he got very emotional
when he started speaking

about his family, his children.

So, he's really playing for a lot here,

and he's seizing that by using
three different kinds of shellfish.

- Come on.
- And he says he's not familiar with it.

- Newton: How much time?
- Last two minutes.

This is where you start to
concentrate on your plating.

- It's there.
- There it is, baby.

- Come on, guys, let's go!
- Saddle up, Newton. Yee-haw!

- Here we go!
- Get it on the plate.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two,

- one.
- And stop.

- Well done.
- Hands in the air.

- Here we go!
- Get it on a plate.

Five, four, three,

two, one. That's it.

- Hands up.
- Hands in the air.

- Woo!
- Well done.

Man, nice job, y'all.

All right, we had a
chance to watch you cook

and taste elements from each of
your dishes as you put them together.

Now, there are three dishes out there

that we can't wait to
take a closer look at.

The first home cook really
took the idea of the variety

of shellfish available to them

and really took it to the next level.

Please step forward...

Jeff, come down, please.

Jeff: I'm the first
name that's called up.

Everyone needs to pay attention to Jeff.

I'm in it to win it.

This is a tribute to Tampa.

Jeff, describe to me your dish.

I did sautéed mussels and
chorizo with prawns and garlic.

Talk to me about the heads.

I wanted that just to be for
a little bit of presentation,

and I really would like for you
to get a little bit of that broth,

that way there's a little
bit more of that flavor to it.

I enjoy the lightness of the broth.

I think it really is accentuated by
the shells from the actual spot prawns.

The green-lipped mussels
are cooked perfectly.

I think for me, if I were
to do something different,

- some Israeli couscous,
- Cool.

or something in there
to soak up that broth.

But the flavor is definitely there.

Thank you very much, Chef.

Wow. Yeah, that is delicious.

Mussels are sweet and the
shrimp are mind-blowing.

Love what you did with the ingredients,

because you let them
speak for themselves.

You cooked them the last minute,

but you utilized what
else they delivered

in terms of the stock, the
flavor, and the sweetness.

Young man, there's no stopping
you right now, is there?

- Not at all.
- That is delicious.

- Thank you.
- Well done.

- Good job, Jeff.
- Way to go, Jeff.

All right, the second dish
that we want to examine further

showcases an incredibly
impressive display

of culinary technique.

This home cook used not one, not two,

but three of the shellfish.

Please step forward...

Necco.

Necco: This is my first
time in the top three,

so the judges haven't
really gotten to know me yet.

I've brought my Southern roots,

my Italian roots, my French technique.

This mystery box is mine.

All right, Necco, what do you got?

We have roasted spot prawns,

a Southern version of Mussels Casino,

and an uni pasta.

Awesome.

Let's start with the spot
prawns. How'd you season it?

It was a quick poach and then a roast
in the oven with garlic butter, parsley.

I was also fortunate enough

to find myself a female
with the roe still in it,

and I figured that would
be a nice texture component.

Pretty lovely with that spot prawn.

- Thank you, Chef.
- Now, mussel.

Looks like you kind of
went Clams Casino on me.

A little bit. It's a
Southern version of it.

Instead of spinach, we
went with Swiss chard.

Wow. Very smart preparation.

Love that you went back
to Southern roots there.

I think the Swiss chard is
delicious. It's well seasoned.

It pairs well with the
sweetness of that mussel.

Listen, Necco, if this is what
you've got under your belt,

I'm excited to see what else
you've got up your sleeve.

- Thank you, Chef.
- Very nice job.

Strong Italian roots, right?

- You're proud of that?
- Absolutely. Yes, Chef.

You've made fresh tagliatelle before?

No, Chef. This is my first
time making this style of pasta.

That tagliatelle, with the sea
urchin, it's creamy, it's luscious,

and the light coating
of butter and seasoning

is really something spectacular.

If this is what you've got,

a desire to do three preparations?

Everybody there should be taking notice.

- Thank you, Chef.
- Good job.

Good job, Necco.

- Good job.
- Nice job.

The third and final dish, this plate,

it's packed with elements
all harmonizing beautifully.

We really feel that we can see

this individual's passion on the plate.

Please step forward...

- Jason.
- Yes.

Jason: Growing up in New England,

especially near the
ocean, I know my seafood.

And the fact that these
beautiful ingredients are here,

it's like I've hit the jackpot.

This is my mystery box to win.

- Chefs.
- Right, young man,

I've never seen a smile so wide ever.

This passion, where does it come from?

My parents came from Taiwan

and they really didn't have much.

And these ingredients, they're things
saved for very special occasions,

so I wanted to treat them with respect.

You certainly showed
that, let's get that right.

Describe the dish.

So, the dish I have prepared today

is a tempura spot prawn,
tempura-ed bok choy leaves.

The sauce is mayonnaise with
fresh uni and yuzu juice.

And for here, you have a
delicious broth of clams

and the shells from the spot prawns.

There's ginger, a little bit
of scallion, and Thai basil.

There are bonito flakes
that I strained through there

and there is a little
bit of white miso in there

and there is some clams kind
of swimming around in there.

I ( bleep ) love you.

That's what I call 60 minutes of effort.

And you've got this thin tempura batter.

You can still see the Santa Barbara
spot prawn, but you've gone beyond that.

You've got mushroom--
what else is in there?

They are Maitake
mushrooms-- hen of the woods,

and bok choy leaves rolled with uni,

and a little bit of
mirugai-- the giant clam.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

I mean, it's a work of art.

Thank you, Chef.

You know, I've never said this
before, but what would I change?

Quite honestly? Nothing.

- Great job.
- Thank you, Chef.

- That broth is out of this world.
- Thank you.

The layers, the flavor, it makes
you just want to keep going back.

The tempura reminds me of every trip

I've ever taken to Japan.

It was delicious. I
love the zing of yuzu.

You live it and you breathe
it, this love for food,

and you've cared so much for every
single one of these ingredients.

- Very nice job.
- Thank you, Chef.

- Nice job.
- Good job, Jason.

- Nice job, buddy.
- You killed it, man.

That's beautiful.

You three, well done.
Jeff, Necco, Jason,

you know there can only be one winner.

That winner will receive
a game-changing advantage.

The winning dish tonight...

congratulations to...

Jason.

- Go Jason.
- Great job.

Congratulations, dude! Amazing.

Nice job. That's awesome.

Young man, how do you feel?

Is this even real? Am I here?

Jason, you're now safe from elimination.

Please, take your
well-earned position up there,

safe on the balcony.

Off you go. Well done.

- Great job, Jason.
- Go, Jason!

Nice job.

And the rest of you,

your elimination challenge starts now.

Now, in this elimination
challenge, you're gonna make

not just an American classic,

but a Gordon Ramsay classic.

Aarón: His technique making
this dish is so legendary,

30 million people have already
seen him do this dish online.

Oh, wow.

Now, I have a lot of signature
dishes. Beef Wellington, of course,

lobster ravioli, and, of course,
that incredible sticky toffee pudding.

But the dish that you're
going to be making tonight

was one of the first
things that I mastered.

It is, of course...

( gasps )

The dish that you're going to
be making tonight is incredible.

It took me months to perfect.

It is, of course...

- Ooh!
- scrambled eggs.

But not just any
scrambled egg--

an incredible light,
delicious scrambled egg

served with roasted vine tomatoes

and grilled mushrooms.

Tonight, we all are
going back to basics.

Yachecia: Scrambled eggs?

Um, okay.

Lord knows I've made a
ton of scrambled eggs.

However, I know there's
gotta be a catch to this.

Scrambled eggs may sound simple,

but we are looking for
MasterChef worthy perfection.

My scrambled eggs requires extreme
technical discipline and precise timing.

Tonight, you'll be making
my scrambled eggs, my way.

Watch and learn.

Eboni: This may be a little shocking,

but I have never scrambled an egg.

In my house, with my four kids
and husband, we eat fried eggs,

poached eggs, boiled
eggs, not scrambled eggs.

Now, scrambled eggs,
first of all, obviously,

I don't need to show you how to
grill a tomato and a mushroom.

That's pretty obvious.

But the secret behind
any great scrambled egg

is too make sure you do not overcook it.

Now, start off with cold eggs,

straight into the pan.

Take your butter. Three
small knobs of butter.

From there, onto the stove.

Bring the gas up high,

and then start cooking
the eggs very gently.

Every time I stir, I'm
cleaning the bottom of the pan.

If we were to season the eggs now,

they would go gray.

So, 30 seconds on. Back off.

That slows down the cooking process,

stops the eggs from overcooking.

So, you need to be
very careful. Back on.

If you've ever cooked it, you'll see
the scrambled eggs going really watery.

So, it's really important that
you go on and off, on and off

throughout the whole three minutes.

They're just starting to thicken up now.

I'll come back off the heat.

Now, we've cooled it down.

Back on to the heat again.

Now, take your toast, your tomatoes,

and then your mushrooms.

Back off the heat.

I'm working with it all the time.

It's now starting to come together.

You can just see the texture now.

Goes back on.
Lightly season--

really important, right at the very end.

That keeps the eggs nice and fresh,

but here's where it goes to
a completely different level.

Take a teaspoon of crème
fraîche. That goes in.

That gives a really nice creamy texture.

More importantly, it stops
them from overcooking.

Now, come to serve,

I want to see nice, light,
fluffy scrambled eggs.

A little bit creamy.

Scrambled eggs to die for.

And finally, finish
with a little smidgeon

of chopped chives on the
top. Let them sprinkle.

And that's how a MasterChef
perfects scrambled eggs.

- Woo!
- Beautiful, Chef.

That's awesome.

Gabriel: It's crazy to me.
I've been watching Gordon Ramsay

since I was 10 years old, 11 years old.

His videos sparked that
interest in me to cook.

Aarón: All right,
guys, now it's your turn.

Everyone please head
back to your stations.

Gabriel: Being the
main cook in my family,

I've made these scrambled
eggs before for breakfast.

If you don't pay attention
to all the details,

it's very easy to mess up.

Each one of you will
have just 15 minutes

to make a perfect
plate of scrambled eggs

with roasted vine tomatoes
and grilled mushrooms,

just like Gordon's.

- Is everybody ready?
- All: Yes, Chef.

Your 15 minutes...

starts...

now! Let's go.

I make scrambled eggs with
a little milk ordinarily.

Usually, have a lot of people
come over at my place for brunch,

but I'm challenging myself
by doing it the Ramsay way.

So, I'm feeling really
good about this challenge.

Go, Heather.

I got fresh chickens back on the ranch.

I have fresh eggs
every day to cook with,

so this is a little bit
different than we do them at home,

but we're gonna get it going, though.

I would absolutely consider myself

the Queen of Breakfast.

I know I wouldn't be able
to perform as a dancer

if I didn't have the energy that came
from a good batch of scrambled eggs.

There's no way I'm
getting this wrong today.

Christine: Guys, what I love
about this elimination challenge

is it's the ultimate leveling field.

Everyone has cooked eggs.

Gordon: If you're smart tonight,

across those 15 minutes,
get everything organized,

and then with six or
seven minutes to go,

make your scrambled eggs.
It's all in the timing.

They take between four
to five minutes to cook,

so the big question is
who has got the balls

to wait ten minutes before
they start those eggs?

Whoever does that, I guarantee you,
is gonna be safe up on the balcony.

I feel pretty good.

I like to make a soft scrambled egg

similar to the way that
Chef Ramsay gave us.

So, I'm just trying to take
what he heard to perfect

what I think I all ready know.

Back in Tampa, we
cook eggs all the time.

My fiancée and I, brunch
is everything for us.

I mean, if you can't make
scrambled eggs in the kitchen,

I mean, seriously,
what are you doing here?

Five minutes gone. 10 minutes remaining.

It's all about the timing tonight.

Last 10 minutes, let's go.

Christine: We've got
that toasted brioche,

those roasted vine tomatoes,

those beautiful mushrooms on a plate,

Come on, let's get real.
It's all about the eggs.

Everybody underestimates
the power of techniques

across making the perfect scrambled egg.

You regulate that
temperature in your pan,

you go up, you go down.

Take it off the heat,
stop them from overcooking.

Go back on the heat.

And seasoning right at
the very end is paramount.

Fascinating. Gabriel hasn't
even started the eggs.

It's a good sign for me,

because that's the way
to perfect this challenge.

Eggs go on last. They wait for nobody.

Just over five minutes remaining.

Christine: Remember, this
is an elimination challenge.

Make us a beautiful
dish of scrambled eggs,

you're safe on the balcony. Let's go.

My fiancée, is actually pregnant
at home with our son on the way,

so I make eggs for
her as often as I can.

Just gonna take what I
saw from Chef Ramsay there

and execute it.

Daniel's burning the
toast. I mean, come on.

Christine: What is he doing?

Gordon: Guys, if you're
burning the toast,

what chance has he got
for the scrambled eggs?

Jeff's starting his eggs.

Gordon: I don't think
he'll be done in time.

His eggs look really runny.

Just over two minutes remaining.

Come on, let's go.

Christine: Come on, now.

Dino looks like he just
has them on high heat.

- You've got to work back and forth, right?
- Aarón: Absolutely.

60 seconds remaining. Come on!

Aarón: Check that
seasoning, guys, come on.

Gordon: Taste everything.

It's all about the precision.

Guys, Heather does not have
any mushrooms on the plate.

Come on, seriously?

It's on fire again? It's on fire.

- 30 seconds remaining. Come on, Daniel.
- Aarón: Let's go, guys.

Check that texture of those eggs, guys.

Gordon: It needs to be on your plate.

If it's in your pan, you are not safe.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two,

one, and stop! Hands in the air.

Good job, guys.

Aarón: Check that texture
of those eggs, guys.

Gordon: It needs to be on your plate.

If it's in your pan, you are not safe.

Five, four, three,

two, one, and stop. Hands in the air.

Gordon: Wow. Well done, everybody.

( groans )

It's time to find out how you all did.

Gabriel: Being the youngest one here,

I feel like I have an
advantage in this challenge

because I'm always
willing to try new things.

I'm not too set in my ways.

I'm really hoping the judges
send me up to the balcony,

because I feel like this will
definitely prove to my competitors

and to myself that I
know what I'm doing.

Gabriel, have you seen Chef
Gordon make these eggs before?

Yes, Chef.

What time did you put those eggs on?

About maybe seven, six minutes out.

Seven, six minutes, huh?

Well, I'm happy you chose to,
because these are delicious.

- Thank you, Chef.
- You are definitely a good student.

- Get up there.
- Thank you, Chef.

- Good job.
- Yeah.

Whew!

Gabriel: Thank God I watched
that video and I studied

and prepared for what
Chef Ramsay had in store.

- Seasoning was very good.
- Yep.

I wanna be able to show
that age doesn't matter.

I might be the youngest, but
I've got some aces up my sleeve.

Take a deep breath.

- Welcome.
- Jeff, how'd you do?

Not well.

It's a scrambled ( bleep ) on a plate,

and I apologize that you
guys have to eat this.

The proof is in the pudding,

because that's just what it looks like.

I am not happy with this one bit.

It's terrible, completely.

- Severely under-seasoned.
- Without a doubt.

- Severely undercooked.
- Without a doubt.

Jeff, you're not safe. Stay here.

I'm definitely here. I deserve to be.

- Newton, you happy with it?
- Yes, sir.

So am I. Delicious.

- Head on up.
- Thank you.

- Incredible.
- Yep.

Sam, eggs are under-seasoned,

and that crème fraîche
isn't incorporated.

Sorry, you're not safe. Stay right here.

- Hello, Jenny.
- Hi, Chef.

How much crème fraîche
did you put in there?

About a teaspoon.

- Right at the end?
- Right at the end.

I think it's pretty spot on.

- Please go up to the balcony.
- Oh, thank you.

- Fluffy.
- Fluffy, airy.

- Brien, that is delicious.
- Thank you, Chef.

Head on up to the balcony.

Beautiful, right? Creamy.

Heather, did you have
some timing issues?

I did. I wanted to get
those mushrooms on the plate

and I didn't have a chance.

Well, Heather, it's not
seasoned well enough.

These scrambled eggs, frankly, are
not good enough and you're not safe.

- Not good enough. You're staying down.
- Yes, Chef.

When did you start
cooking your eggs here?

About when it was seven minutes left.

Whether you put those eggs
on seven minutes to go or not,

they're severely overcooked.

Rubbery, bouncy--
Dino, you're not safe.

- Stay right here, please.
- Okay, Chef.

Caitlin, the eggs are under-seasoned.

It's not a beautiful fluffy
serving of scrambled eggs.

You're not safe.

- Necco, did you taste your scrambled eggs?
- Yes, Chef.

I thought they were tasty.

We also thought they were tasty.

Congratulations. Delicious. Head on up.

Thank you, Chefs.

Eboni: My heart is beating out my chest.

This is my first time
ever making this, legit,

but hopefully the flavors are there.

I hope they're creamy and fluffy

like they're supposed to be.

I hope I don't pass out.

I think for someone

who's never made
scrambled eggs before...

- I think you nailed it.
- Thank you, Chef.

The texture's right.
The seasoning is there.

- Great job.
- Thank you, Chef.

Up to the balcony, please. You're safe.

- Thank you.
- Wow, textbook.

- Soft, tender, silky.
- Delicious.

Hello, Chefs.

Oh, dear. Look at this.

Agreed.

How would you rate your scrambled egg?

I think they came out nice.

I think I got that silky texture.

I got the seasoning there.
I think I did a good job.

Let's get one thing right,

you struggled toasting the brioche.

I did. I was having a hard time
getting an even toast across the bread.

Well, Daniel...

thank goodness you can
make a scrambled egg.

- Delicious. Head on up.
- Thank you very much, Chef.

Get yourself a toaster.

All of you up there on the balcony,

congratulations, you are all safe.

Those were delicious,
masterful scrambled eggs.

Aarón: So, now six of
you remain out there.

Please come down here to the front.

Dino: I'm not safe right
now, I'm stuck down here.

They weren't too with my eggs.

I don't know what's coming up next,

but I'm crapping bricks at this point.

Now, because your scrambled
eggs were not cooked

to my standards tonight,

your place in this
competition is now on the line.

Christina: Now, in
the MasterChef kitchen,

you are all students.

And the best quality in a student

is their ability to take criticism

and to learn from their mistakes.

You six have one more chance,

and you'll be needing these.

- That's right,
- Thank you.

you'll be doing this
challenge all over again.

Let's go. Each of you step
up and grab a box of eggs.

Jeff: This journey's not over for me,

and eggs are not going to hold me back.

If I can focus in on the clock

and make sure time management
doesn't get the best of me,

I've got a chance of still surviving.

All six of you need to do it much,
much better than you just did.

Oh, and there's an
extra bit of pressure.

This time, you'll have just...

10 minutes.

- ( gasps )
- Oh, my God.

You six have one more chance.

That's right, you'll be doing
this challenge all over again.

And there's an extra bit of pressure.

This time, you'll have just ten minutes.

- ( gasps )
- Oh, my God.

Aarón: Everyone, please take your eggs

and head back to your stations.

Ten minutes? Aye yai yai.

I'm someone that likes

to take my time in the kitchen.

This does not play to my strengths.

Gordon: Elimination is on the line.

At least one of you is about to
make their last dish in this kitchen.

Do not go out on scrambled eggs.

Your ten minutes...

starts...

now.

- Come on, guys.
- I've got this.

All right, guys.

So, guys, this is the last chance

for these six home cooks' redemption.

Aarón: You guys gotta nail this.

Ten minutes, Jesus.

Gordon: It's all about the timing.

They have to work quicker
now with ten minutes to go.

Personally, I'm really
surprised that Jeff is down here,

Dino is down here, and I'm really
surprised that Yachecia is down here,

because the scrambled
eggs she gave us weeks ago

coming into this
competition were incredible.

Yep.

Gordon: Three minutes gone.
Seven minutes remaining.

- Come on.
- Eggs, eggs, eggs.

Get those eggs up.

Oh, my God, that's so much butter, Sam.

Sam just put two thirds of
a stick of butter in there?

- Uh, yeah.
- That's like six tablespoons.

Christina: Do not repeat your
mistakes you made earlier.

Show us you are the student that
deserves to be in this kitchen.

Get those scrambled eggs
as perfect as possible.

Come on, Sam.

Just over four minutes remaining.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

You guys, Heather is all over the place.

Aarón: Check that
seasoning, guys, come on.

( Christina gasps )

- Oh, my God.
- No, Heather!

Look at how much black pepper
just went in Heather's pan?

Oh, my God.

She used almost a tablespoon of pepper.

I'm really concerned about that.

Gordon: Taste everything.

Christine: Come on, now.

Gordon: Last minute,
guys. Come on, let's go.

Come on, now.

Gordon: You want to be plating now.

- Jesus...
- Please, God, please, God.

Aarón: Make those
final tastes. Let's go.

Christine: Come on, guys.

- Oh, baby doll.
- Look at Dino's.

From here it looks
delicious-- light and fluffy.

30 seconds remaining.

Come on, Jeff. You got
to get it on that plate.

Taste, Sam. Come on, Sam.

Oh, my God, his eggs are watery.

His eggs are watery. Crank the heat up.

15 seconds to go.

Christine: Come on, guys.

Make it pretty. Make it pretty.

Ten, nine, eight,

- seven, six, five,
- Heather, get it on the plate.

four, three, two,

- one, and stop.
- Hands are in the air.

- Good job, guys.
- Good job, guys.

Adam: Sam's are not
cooked. Look at that.

All right, home cooks, bring those
scrambled egg dishes to the front.

So, visually, it's a
nice shiny, silky texture.

Thank you.

Wow, it's rich. It's
creamy. Seasoned beautifully.

- You've nailed it.
- Thank you.

- Miss Yachecia.
- Yes, Chef?

I have to say right off
the bat, I love the color.

It's even, it's uniform.

It has that beautiful gloss
and sheen to the outside.

Thank you, Chef.

It's well seasoned.
It's fluffy, it's airy.

It has the right amount of fat

by way of the crème
fraîche and the butter.

- Excellent job.
- Thank you, Chef.

All right, Miss Caitlin,

visually an improvement
from a volume standpoint.

Let's see how it tastes.

Nice cook there. I can still
see the moisture in the center.

Thank you.

I think you definitely remedied
the seasoning. I like the richness.

Definitely an improvement

- from your last scrambled eggs dish.
- Thank you, Chef.

- Sam.
- Yes, Chef?

Okay, visually, just
look left and look right

- and then come back to your liquid scrambled egg.
- Yes.

It looks like a grild cheese from here.

What do I need? A ( bleep ) straw?

What is it with you and the timing?

I have a hard time focusing
and the time is hard for me.

We're talking about scrambled eggs.

I'm aware.

Sam, what would you give
yourself in class? Out of ten?

I don't know. About a five.

A five?

Generous.

So, Dino, looking at it, it has that
beautiful golden sheen on the outside.

It almost looks like the sun.

It doesn't have tons of
specks of black pepper,

which is a good thing.

A lot of people underestimate
how powerful black pepper is.

It can really kill a dish.

- I love the way it's proportionate.
- Thank you, Chef.

It's creamy, it's well seasoned.

It's consistent in flavor and
consistent in the way it's cooked.

- Excellent.
- Thank you, Chef.

All right, Miss Heather,

first round of scrambled
eggs didn't go so well.

- Not so well.
- What did you learn from that first cook?

My eggs were overcooked.
I also was under-seasoned.

So, I added salt and
I also put some pepper

in there as well to get a little kick.

That's a lot of pepper.

I was a little heavy-handed
with the pepper, probably.

( coughs )

( coughing )

Let's just a look at this color-wise.

Wow. The color is dark and gray.

I may have put a little too much pepper

to make it that brown color.

And they're almost gray
from black pepper, Heather.

Okay.

All right, home cooks, please
come around to the front.

Gordon: So, some made
some vast improvements.

Heather's--
( coughs )

Aarón: You can't get
past one bite of that egg.

Too much black pepper.

Sam's? Severely undercooked.

Has he shown he's good
enough of a student?

- Are we straight? Okay.
- I think so.

Aarón: All six of you
found yourselves here

cooking for a second time.

And this was all about who
could adapt, who could learn,

and some of you did
better than others tonight.

There were two home cooks
that went from zero to hero.

Please step forward, Yachecia.

And, Dino, step forward.

- Dino, baby.
- Nice job, you two.

Both of you displayed grit,
you took direction well,

and that is what makes
a great MasterChef.

- Go upstairs, please.
- Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef.

Good job, you guys.

So, then there were four.

Will the following two home cooks

please step forward?

Caitlin...

and Jeff...

- go head on up.
- Thank you, Chef.

Sam, Heather, this has
been a very tough decision.

Unfortunately, we have to say good-bye

to at least one of you this evening.

Sam, you had all the makings

of a great scrambled
egg, but unfinished.

Heather, your eggs are way to peppery.

I'm surprised, because
you're both smart individuals.

I didn't expect it to come down to this.

Sam, please step forward...

and say good night...

to Heather...

and make your way up those stairs.

Whoa.

Heather, this challenge
was about technique,

about being a great student,

and though you didn't
make the same mistakes

that you made the first time,
you made different mistakes.

You've got a lot of gusto.

I think you've got a lot of drive.

- Tonight just wasn't your night.
- Yeah.

Please leave your apron on your station.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Love you, Heather!
- Heather, we love you.

Bye, Heather.

Heather: Leaving the MasterChef kitchen,

I'm proud of myself.

Getting to the Top 18 is not easy,

so this is definitely a step forward.

Being a nurse, it's
really important for me

to show people that I care for them,

and I was able to do
that with my cooking.

And I've learned a lot
more skill from being here

to be able to do that even more.

Bye, Heather.

Announcer: Next week...

Gordon: On the menu tonight, lamb.

the Top 17 have front row seats

to a Gordon Ramsay master class.

Jason: Chef Ramsay
looks so precision-like.

Can we do this today? This is crazy.

Gordon: You've got to speed up.

Announcer: And when the
competition heats up,

who has the chops...

It's beautifully done. You
just cooked like a chef's dream.

to make the cut?

Ugh.

I wouldn't even ( bleep ) swallow that.

I can't do that to my palate.

Eboni: I cannot believe
my eyes right now.

This sucks.

What in the ( bleep ) happened?
