All language subtitles for MasterChef Junior - S01E05 - Restaurant Takeovers

Ew.

This is so not gummi bears.

A gruesome mystery box...

Disgusting.

...produced some amazing dishes.

Well done.
You nailed it.

It's all delicious.
Phenomenal.

Sarah wowed the judges...

Really,
really amazing.

...but it was the end of the road
for Kaylen and Sofia.

Tonight...

One of L.A.'s
finest restaurants

recruits a new generation
of chefs.

The restaurant takeover.

As the junior contestants
take charge...

Get this on the plate!
Let's go!

I'm trying to do
what you messed up.

...in an intense team challenge.

That is embarrassing.
Get rid of it.

Red team, blue team,
listen to me.

Come on, get out
of your comfort zone.

- How about "Yes, chef"?
- Yes, chef!

I cannot believe
how crazy it is.

Where the diners are in
for the shock of their lives.

That's right,
MasterChef Junior contestants.

Welcome, everybody.

Please come up here.

I'm in the top six,
and I'm very proud

because, like, 9 million kids
tried out for this.

And I know
I can make it farther.

And I know
I can do more.

Being in the top six
is really amazing,

but I know that
I have to step up my game.

This competition is only gonna
get harder as it progresses.

You are the best
young home cooks

in this entire country.

One of you standing here
before us will make history

and become America's first

Junior MasterChef.

Today's challenge

will not be happening

inside
the MasterChef kitchen.

No!

That's right...

Today we're going out

on a field trip.

We're gonna set you a test

in the real world.

Oh.
Oh, god.

How does that sound?

Kind of scary.

I'm just getting used
to the MasterChef kitchen,

and now they're gonna
take us away from that.

So I'm, like, nervous
but really excited.

Right,
you guys ready?

Yes, chef.

Let's go.

Here we go.

Field trip?

I don't know if this
is gonna be a field trip

or a business trip,
seriously.

Walking in downtown L.A.
was kind of exciting

because you're going
to a new place.

It was a really cool
experience

being in that restaurant.

It looked beautiful,
and it made me realize

that I definitely want to have
a restaurant one day.

Welcome to Drago Centro,

One of the finest
italian restaurants

in all of Los Angeles.

Guys, we didn't bring you
here for fun.

We brought you here for
a classic MasterChef challenge,

one of the most
grueling challenges we do...

The restaurant takeover.

- Oh.
- Oh, my god.

- Oh, my god.
- So cool.

Today all six of you will be
taking over lunch service

in the kitchen
of this restaurant.

Wow.

I think that the three judges
are out of their minds.

You're going to compete

in two teams of three.

Each team will serve

one side of the dining room,

and you will battle
head-to-head

in the kitchen
of this fine restaurant,

Drago Centro.

What is he thinking?

We're 9 to 13.

We might be
great home cooks,

but we're not
great restaurant cooks.

This might be
too big for us to do.

Ugh.

It is time

to pick your teams.

Dara and Gavin,

please step forward.

I know that I'm one of the best
junior chefs in America,

and I'm pretty competitive.

I used to be
a competitive swimmer,

and I went
to the junior olympics.

So I know how to win.

Dara and Gavin,

since you had those amazing,
delicious winning cakes

in the last
elimination challenge,

you two are now captains

in this extraordinary, difficult
MasterChef classic challenge.

Dara, since you had
the best layer cake,

you get to pick first.

But there's a red,
and there's a blue team.

What color would you like?

- Red.
- Red team.

- That means, Gavin,
you are the blue team. - Okay.

Good.

Now, you will
alternate picks

until both teams are set.

I really want to be
on Dara's team,

because Gavin, I don't think,
has enough experience.

he could mess up
as team captain.

I'm gonna pick
this person

because he's got a lot
of good feedback from you guys.

And I feel that we would
work good together.

So I'm gonna pick
Alexander.

Alexander, wow.

Good choice.

Gavin,
who are you picking?

I'm going for this person
because I know

that we can work
great together.

He's just a really
great cook.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna pick Troy.

Troy, wow.

Gavin picks me.

I have to go on his team,
pretend I'm happy,

but I'm not.

So Dara's got the pick.

Basically she picks
for both teams,

because whoever
you don't choose

will automatically go
into the blue team.

Truthfully, I'm a little bit
hoping that Dara picks Sarah,

because Sarah
is a little bit young,

and she hasn't
developed enough

in cooking and teamwork.

Well, I think this person

really knows
what they're doing

and knows what to put
on the plate.

So I'm gonna pick Jack.

Wow. Jack.

Please.

Young lady,

please come pick up
your apron.

I expected to be
the last picked

since I was the youngest.

But I have been cooking
for six years,

so I know
what I'm talking about.

Red team, blue team,

the restaurant is sold out
for lunch today.

And we are in the middle
of downtown Los Angeles.

You have agents,

actors, power brokers,
bankers, politicians.

They know good food,
and they know good service.

The one thing
they don't know

is that the people
making their food

are you guys,
ages 9 to 13.

We'll talk to the diners,

and we'll take
their feedback.

But ultimately,

we will decide
the winning team.

And if you're
on the losing team,

you will be facing
elimination.

Are you guys ready?

Yes, chef!

It's time to go
find out what exactly

you will be cooking today.

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

Let's go.

All right, guys,
you guys are right over here.

- Line up.
- Right there.

Line up.

Let me introduce you
to a very important man.

The executive chef,

chef Ian Gresik.

Good afternoon, chef.

This extraordinary chef

is here to show you

how to replicate

Drago's dishes.

So watch carefully

and ask as many questions
as possible.

Got it?

- Yes, chef.
- Good.

Let's go, guys.
You guys around there.

For service today,

the six junior home cooks
must make two appetizers.

A burrata salad
with artichokes, tomatoes,

and crostini,

and seared albacore tuna
with a risotto cake.

Then two entrees...

A short-rib ravioli

and a pan-seared branzino.

Okay, chefs, the first dish
is the burrata.

Now, the key to the burrata

is gonna be
the balsamic stamp.

Place it onto the plate.

Then you need to cut the burrata
into four equal pieces.

In between, you're gonna add
the olive crostini.

You're gonna add your
artichokes, cherry tomatoes.

You're gonna place the arugula
onto the burrata.

So the dishes are not, like,
salami and cheddar cheese.

These are fancy dishes,

and it looks
really hard to do.

The next appetizer we're gonna
do is the tuna appetizer.

You're gonna fry
a risotto cake.

Place it into the fryer.

Three to four minutes later,
you're gonna pull it out.

You're gonna take
your beautiful block

of yellowfin tuna,

and you're gonna sear
the tuna on all sides.

You want to make sure
the tuna is still rare inside.

Nice.

You're gonna put
the risotto cake

into the center
of the plate.

You're gonna add
sauteed fennel and sunchoke.

You're gonna start
to slice your tuna.

You're gonna end up
with three beautiful slices.

And we have your salad
already dressed.

And we're gonna place it
on top of the dish.

- There's a lot of steps to this one.
- Our next dish here...

Our first entree, guys.

So short-rib ravioli...
it's a filled pasta.

Inside of the filling,

you're gonna add onions,
carrots, and celery,

besides the short rib.

And we pipe it
into the ravioli.

Next, so you just want to put
down fresh egg pasta dough.

And you're actually
gonna take a piece

of the pasta dough itself
and push into these molds here.

Pipe in the filling,

and you only want to fill
the pasta dough

up to the side,
otherwise it won't close.

Brush the dough
with a little bit of water,

and this is gonna
act as your glue.

The next step, you're actually
gonna use a wooden dowel,

and you're gonna form
the pastas themselves.

And then you just
knock them out, right?

Yeah.

These are very gentle,

and they're only gonna cook
for about three minutes.

The next step, you're gonna
add your sage sauce.

You're gonna add some
of the carrots to the dish.

You're gonna add
your raviolis.

And you're gonna glaze 'em
in the sauce.

And you're gonna use a spoon
to plate the ravioli.

Right.
Here's your pasta.

Lovely, wow.

The thing that has me
the most nervous is the plating,

'cause it has to be
plated specifically.

If it's not,
then we have to start all over.

So the next dish
is the branzino.

You're gonna place the fish
into the pan,

falling away from you.

And you only want to cook it
on the skin side.

So the next step...

You're gonna take the fish,

place it on top
of your garnish.

That looks amazing.

There's a lot
of key factors to this.

Like, I'm only 12,

and we have to cook to
the quality of this restaurant.

I'm a little nervous.

You will have one hour to prep

and 75 minutes to serve

all of those
amazing dishes.

Also, chef Ian
will be tasting your dishes.

Wow.

We're gonna listen
to what he has to say.

There's one more
very important part

to this challenge.

Sarah, do you know

what an expeditor is?

Yes, chef.

Guess who your expeditor
is tonight.

Chef Ian.

- No, chef Gordon.
- You.

That's right.

I will not let anything
pass substandard.

Do you think
you can all handle that?

Yes, chef!

Oh, my gosh.
It's nerve-racking.

I was like, "Are we gonna see
the mean side of Gordon Ramsay?"

Right, red team, blue team,

your 60 minutes prep

starts...

Now.
Let's go.

With only one hour of prep time

for two appetizers
and two entrees,

both teams must quickly
delegate responsibilities.

Okay, so... so this
is what's gonna happen.

- He's burrata.
- We share the tuna. - Okay.

I can do the branzino
all by myself.

- And then you can do
the ravioli. - Yeah.

I think that she should
do most of the vegetables.

I don't really feel comfortable
doing the vegetables.

It's very simple.

I wrote it all down
in the notebook.

You should have
taken notes.

I'll tell you what to do,
and you just do it.

Troy is telling us what to do,
which I thought was unfair

because Gavin
is the team captain.

So stay out of it.

- Okay, guys, got it? Come on.
- Let's go, let's go.

I got this one.

With a power struggle
already brewing

on the blue team...

The red team

is taking
a far more democratic approach.

Let's start off with tuna.

I'll do the rice cakes.

- And do you want to do...
- So I'll do the burrata.

You want to do burrata?

- Okay, yeah.
- Okay.

Entrees... I'll do the searing
for the branzino.

- I feel confident with the ravioli.
- Okay.

Looking at the dishes,
I'm nervous.

But I think
that if we work as a team,

we could pull it off.

Okay, let's go.

These cooks, for the first time
in their lives,

will be cooking multiple dishes
at the same time.

That changes
the entire world for them.

They've never done it.

This prep time is critical.

If they prep up perfectly,
it'll be a dream cooking.

Right.

Don't push too hard.

Sarah, Sarah,
do this, look.

Just tap it in
around the edge like this.

- Here, can I show you?
- I have an idea.

All right, but you don't want
it to, like, fall apart.

Sarah is
the youngest competitor,

but she thinks she can do
everything perfectly.

And she doesn't know
how to take advice...

That's the thing.

And that's why we can get
screwed in this competition.

Remember, Troy, you don't
have to go so fast.

Flour?
Did you flour it?

- Oh, shoot, no.
- You have to flour.

Blue team, Gavin,

communicate with them.
Let's go.

Guys, come on.
We can do this, okay?

Guys, you should already have
two or three in right now.

I only have one.

Hurry up.

Sarah,
this matters a lot.

Come on, guys.

For tonight's
MasterChef challenge,

the junior home cooks
have taken over the kitchen

of Drago Centro
in downtown Los Angeles.

Each team has
just one hour to prep

and 75 minutes
to serve two appetizers

and two entrees
for a fully booked restaurant.

How long can they
concentrate in the heat?

That's the big question
tonight.

Well, they're certainly
gonna be feeling the heat,

because these customers
have full expectation

to have the quality of food
they always have here.

And every customer
in the dining room

has no idea
that these chefs tonight

are between
9 and 13 years of age.

Sarah, what number
are you on for pasta?

- Four.
- You're on four? Great.

Jack, I'm on my fifth
right now.

Why are you telling me?

Just to make you nervous.

Troy just came over
and was like, "I'm on my fifth."

Troy was probably
lying anyway.

They're probably not done
to perfection like ours.

Five minutes to go
before that first table arrives.

Oh, my gosh.

Blue team,
how are we doing?

- We're doing great, chef.
- Yeah?

How's it look?

Nice.
They're beautiful.

Okay, thank you.

The ravioli's off
to a good start.

I definitely think
that we can pull this off.

- Well done.
- Thank you.

While the blue team
is looking good,

the red team is having
a difficult time

filling the ravioli molds
properly.

Red team, stop please.

- Dara, look.
- Yeah?

You got twice as much in there
and half the amount there.

The secret
of a great service

is making sure you have
an amazing preparation.

And I've seen the way
you've cooked

in the MasterChef kitchen,
and it's not like that.

Okay, I want them all filled

to the exact same level.

- Yes, chef.
- Okay?

Dara, who's the captain
of the red team?

- I am.
- Keep your eyes open.

- I will.
- Let's go.

I am really independent,

so, like, when it does come
to, like, communicating,

I'm kind of in my own zone,

and I have to open the zone
up to more people.

How do these look, Dara?

They look perfect.

As prep time in the kitchen
comes to an end,

The Drago Centro dining room

is quickly filling up
with hungry customers.

The teams will have
75 minutes

to serve two appetizers

and two entrees
to all the diners,

whose feedback
will be key

in helping the judges
decide a winner

in this elimination
challenge.

Red team, blue team,
listen!

Yes, chef!

Thank you.

What you just produced there
is phenomenal.

Now we're gonna start service.

Are we ready?

Yes, chef.

Right, blue team,
on order.

Two covers away.
Table 17.

One burrata, one tuna.

Entree, one ravioli,
one branzino.

What?

One of everything.
Yes, chef!

Stop, stop, stop.

I'm gonna call out
the order.

Once I've read out
the order,

then give me a "Yes, chef."

Let's start again.

On order, two covers,
table 17.

Blue team,
one burrata, one tuna.

- Yes, chef!
- Thank you.

On order, red team.
Two covers away, table 51.

One burrata, one tuna.

Yes, chef.

- How long?
- Six minutes.

Let's go, six minutes.

Being in the kitchen

is so much more intense
than I thought it would be.

I cannot believe
how crazy it is.

Blue team.

- Blue team!
- Yes, chef!

Second table.
Two covers, table 71.

One burrata, one tuna.

All right, one more tuna.
Tuna!

Eh, is that a "yes, chef"
or "No, chef"?

- Yes, chef!
- Thank you.

Red team,
one burrata, one tuna.

After that, you got
one burrata, one tuna.

Followed by one burrata,
one more tuna, yes?

Yes, chef.

When Gordon's yelling out
the tickets at us,

all of us are going crazy

because it's really fast.

My mind is just like,
whoo-ooh!

What the heck?

Like, oh, my god.

Why are, like,
half the dots coming out

and half of them not?

So I try it again
on a new plate.

Oh, come on!

And then they didn't come out.

I'm like, what?
Why?

Do you want me
to do it, Jack?

Okay, I'm just not good
with the stamp, that's it.

Luckily Dara got the dots
to finally all come out nice.

Thank you so much.

One burrata

for the red team.

- Jack, stunning.
- Thank you.

Table 52.
Please, red team, go.

With the red team
working well together

to complete orders...

The blue team is struggling

to find its rhythm
as a unit

and is falling behind.

On order, blue team.

Two more burrata,
two more tuna.

Dude, you need
to get this out.

Sarah, stop.

Blue team,

I'm dying
for that tuna.

Put it up, dude!
We're done with our tuna.

Order up, chef.

Thank you, chef.

Who sliced that?

Blue team,

stop what you're doing.

Come here, all of you.

Three of you,
come around.

Hurry up.

This tuna comes out,
and it looks stunning.

And then all of a sudden,
I've got this.

It looks like a dog's dinner.
It does.

- Troy.
- I know, I cut it too thin, chef.

So are you happy
with that?

No, I'm not, chef.

The restaurant service
is all about consistency.

And do you think
I'm gonna serve that?

No, you're not.

- That is embarrassing.
- Get rid of it. - Okay.

- Move. Let's go.
- Thank you.

Chef Ramsay has the power
just to go, boom, Troy, out.

And I have to leave.

I cannot afford
for that to happen.

While the blue team

works to improve the consistency
of their plating,

the red team is now struggling
to keep up

with the volume of orders.

Red team, two tuna,
followed by two more tuna.

- Yes, chef!
- Let's go.

Get the salad on.
Is this dressed?

No, do it.

Dara, don't get
aggravated at me.

Red team, you've got to talk.

- You seasoned these, right?
- You know what, no. No.

I'm telling you,
they need salt, Alexander.

if I'm telling you
they need salt,

- put salt on them.
- I'm making sure.

Oh, man.

Guys, just stop arguing
and start working together.

Get the tuna on the plate.
Then get this on the plate.

Let's go.

The communication
in our team is really bad.

we're in big trouble,

and I'm kind of getting ready
to pack my bags.

Let's go, guys.

Red team, this burrata

has been up here
now for seven minutes.

I'm begging for a tuna.

Get the salad on.

No.
Do it.

Guys, just stop arguing

and start working
together.

Let's go.

Guys, guys,
come here, you two.

Come out.

- Yes, chef.
- Look at me.

This cannot
become a power struggle.

You have to talk
to each other.

Yes, chef.

You're two talented
youngsters,

but you're not
working together.

I need you to get
on the same page.

The youngest in your team
is in front of you

by three dishes.

If you continue
to work against each other,

your team is gonna lose.

Sort it out.

Okay, I'm gonna get
the rice cakes on.

I was really frustrated

because Alexander
wasn't really listening

to what I was saying.

But I want the best
for all of us,

so we need
to communicate better.

Do you have your salad made,

or do you need me
to do that for you?

Do the salad,
do the salad.

While the chaos in the kitchen
continues for both young teams,

the guests
in the dining room

have started
their appetizers

and begin giving
their reviews.

I'm eating the red team
burrata appetizer.

I like the way it looked.

The burrata's nice and soft.

I'm eating the blue team's
burrata appetizer,

and the presentation
was really pretty.

It's just
a little bit chewy.

So the red team's
tuna appetizer,

the risotto cake,
I couldn't identify

if it was risotto
or potato.

Chef!

I'm eating
the tuna appetizer.

Very crunchy on the outside.
Very soft on the inside.

It's really good.

As the customers continue
to enjoy their appetizers...

Each team must now complete
one final special order.

Red team, blue team,
on order.

V.V.I.P.,
the chef of the restaurant

that you're running,
on order:

Two covers, table 18.
One burrata, one tuna.

- Yes, chef.
- How about, "Yes chef"?

Yes, chef!

Thank you!

Sarah, watch out.

You're gonna mess it up.
Just stop messing with it.

I'm not
messing with it!

Just don't touch it.

We have to cook
for the V.I.P. table,

which was chef Ian.

Sarah is going
to mess this up.

Just let me plate
this one, Sarah, okay?

Just let me plate this.

And I think I can plate
a little better

and quicker
than she can.

I'm plating.

- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am.

- Don't touch it.
- Stop!

Sarah, put
your plate down.

Blue team, red team,

I'm waiting on two burrata,
two tuna.

Blue team, how long?

Burrata in the window!

Excellent.

V.I.P. Burrata
in the window, right now!

Thank you.

Blue team,
where is this tuna?

Five seconds, chef.

No, no, no, no.
You don't do that yet.

Guys, come on... tuna!

Let's go, guys.

- Dara...
- Yes, chef?

- Are we communicating?
- Yes, chef.

- Tuna in the window, chef.
- Thank you.

- Done, chef!
- Sarah! Stop. Tuna up, chef.

Thank you, Troy.

Service, please.

V.V.I.P.
Thank you.

This is frustrating because Troy
is not understanding

that you have
to work together as a team

when it's a team challenge.

Red team, blue team,
listen to me!

Yes, chef!

Appetizers, great start.

Clear down,
get set for the entree.

Yes, chef!

Let's go.

As both teams prepare
to make their entrees,

the final appetizers are sent to
the restaurant's executive chef.

His opinion will be a factor
in the judges' decision

on which team wins
this elimination challenge.

First impression:
They look good.

Maybe I can hire
some of these kids.

Yes.

The blue team's plating
looks very impressive.

I think the arugula
on the red team

doesn't look as nice.

Okay, let's have a taste.

Really well seasoned.

This is a great dish.

Great dish.

Let's try the red's burrata.

The only thing missing
on this dish

is the vinaigrette
on the arugula leaves.

In this appetizer,

the blue team
definitely won.

Okay.

Now for the tuna.
Let's taste it.

It tastes really well.
The tuna's cooked nicely.

The risotto cake's
a little bit under.

But the rest of their dish
is really spot-on.

Okay, great.

Now let's try
the blue team's.

The blue team, the tuna's
a little under-seasoned.

But the star was... they cooked
the risotto cake correctly.

- It's really good.
- Correctly.

So if you had
to pick a winner,

What do you think?

Right now,
it's neck and neck.

- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you.

With the teams evenly matched
after the appetizers,

both of them must now
prepare their entrees

for 50 customers
in the dining room

and chef Ian.

We need to come up
with a plan, okay?

I know you work better
independently,

So that's why you're gonna
do the pasta by yourself, okay?

- Yeah, yeah.
- But just still communicate, okay?

Yeah.

I really like
working independently,

and Jack can work well
with two people.

So Dara and Jack
are gonna do the branzino,

and I'll do the ravioli.

We got this.
We got this, guys.

Yeah, we got this.

With the red team
feeling confident

about their strategy
for the entrees,

Gavin, the captain
of the blue team,

is trying to ease the tension

between teammates
Troy and Sarah.

Troy, I'm sorry,
but you can't... I know...

I'm not trying
to boss her around.

She's just
really excited.

You have to...
I'm super excited too.

- I know.
- In entrees, what am I doing?

We're doing the branzino.

I'm gonna do
all the fish again.

Let me plate, okay?

That's what cost us.

He's doing the ravioli.

Okay, but, yeah,
we have to stay together.

I definitely think
that we can pull this off

because we're such
a great team.

It just really helps your team
if you don't have any arguments.

Let's get ready!

Red team, blue team,
listen to me!

Yes, chef!

Now let's finish strong
with the entrees.

Away now, red team.

Blue team, one ravioli,
one branzino.

Yes, chef!

Thank you.
Let's go.

This is one order.

I'm gonna get the second order
going after this one.

Jack, how long
for the fish?

One minute.

Dude, you need to get those
in the pan.

I need it to heat up,
Sarah... hold on.

I'm gonna put in a fish!

Hold on!

Sarah, calm down.

These guys are doing
some hard-core stuff.

These are
really intricate dishes.

The food coming out
is looking great.

Well, I got a problem
with the blue team,

because Troy's not listening,
and he's certainly not

bringing his team together.

And he's almost,
like, trounced

Gavin into the corner,
because Gavin was frying.

- But Gavin's the captain.
- Well... It's almost like

he's been sort of
demoralized on back

of Troy's over-exertive
presence.

Red team, however,
finally have got it together.

Red team!

Ravioli's in the window.

Very nice, that ravioli.

Thank you, chef.

Where's the branzino?

Two plates, Alexander.
Work at the same time.

Let's go.

Who cooked the fish?

Me! Me, chef!

- Beautifully done.
- Thank you, chef.

Good job, Jack!

Red team,
you're cooking beautifully

now that you're working
as a team.

- Yes, chef.
- Stick together.

While the red team
seems to be on track

with their entrees...

The blue team
is having trouble

with the seasoning
of the branzino dish.

Sarah, no, no.
No more.

- You put way too...
- No, I'm doing this for Gavin's.

Sarah, come here.
Look how much pepper that is.

We need to start over.

- There's so much.
- Mix it in.

That happened
to the ravioli,

and you said it was good.

Sarah...
there's so much pepper.

Blue team!

Where's the branzino?

- Three minutes, chef!
- Three minutes, chef!

What?
They're ready.

The fish is ready.
Where's the garnish?

We're still waiting
on the vegetables.

Why is the fish ready
before the vegetables?

- Because she over-peppered them, sir.
- I messed them up.

Oh, guys.

Are those almost done?

- Hold on.
- Troy, talk to me!

Hold on, Sarah!
I'm trying to do something.

Calm down.

No, but you're not
talking to me.

I'm trying to do
what you messed up, okay?

So hold on.

Why are those two
arguing?

I don't know, I...

Guys, come on.
Stop arguing. Guys.

We have paying customers
waiting for food.

Sarah's messing it up.
We have to start over.

We're two tables behind
than the red team.

Let me have it.
Troy, I can put it up.

One ravioli, one branzino.
The red team already gone.

No, no, no.
on top of it.

Sarah, it's on top
of the actual dish.

- Encourage her, Troy.
- Sarah, come on.

What is it?
What is it with you two?

Why can't you
work together?

It's annoying me.

It's annoying me so much,

that I just want
to kick her off the team.

Come on, guys, speed up!

Sarah, don't touch it.

Come on, guys, speed up!

Let me have it!

Troy, I can put it up.

I'm trying to do
what you messed up, okay?

What is it
with you two?

Why can't you
work together?

Blue team are falling
behind drastically.

Sarah, don't touch it.

You three come round here.

What happened?

What's wrong?

- Nothing.
- Well, why are you crying?

I kind of felt annoyed,

because Troy was trying
to micromanage everyone.

He wasn't even trying
to listen to what I had to say.

We can't keep waiting
while Troy does his own thing.

Troy, stop trying
to take over.

Okay.

Know that you
have a job to do.

Do it, and then help.

Team captain, you have
to keep hold of your team.

- Okay.
- You have to delegate.

You can't stand there
and be quiet.

Okay.

So if we stick together
as a team, we're brilliant.

If we ignore each other,
we're in trouble.

- Got it?
- Yes, chef.

Sort it out.
Let's go.

While the blue team regroups

and focuses on improving
their communication...

Chef Ramsay is concerned
with the delegation of duties

on the red team.

Jack, how long are you
gonna be for the fish?

Branzino, like...
I need, like, four more minutes.

Dara and Alexander,

are you two doing
the ravioli

and Jack's doing
the branzino on his own?

- Um, no, I'm doing the branzino.
- Yes or no?

What are you doing
for the branzino?

I'm doing the salad
right now and...

The tendrils?

Hey... Look at me.
You two, come here.

Yes, chef?

You're the oldest.

He's got the difficult job
on his own.

You got the easy job
on your own.

- Come on. Step up, will you?
- Yes, chef.

- Get out of your comfort zone.
- Yes, chef.

Jack, great work.
Keep it going.

Thank you, chef.

While Dara and Alexander

attempt to improve
their contribution

to the red team by taking on
more responsibility...

The customers
in the dining room

are now eating their entrees
and give Joe their feedback.

Good evening again, folks.

You had the entrees
of the red team.

Two branzinos
and two ravioli.

How did they do?

Very good.

- Really good?
- Yeah.

What was the best part
about the branzino?

Nice.

Loved it.

How about the ravioli?
How are they?

The sauce, while it's lovely,
it's a little congealed,

as if it's been sitting
in the window for a while.

So sorry.

I had
the blue team's ravioli.

The actual pasta was really,
really well done.

But I felt like there
could have been more seasoning.

Uh, my entree today
was the fish.

It was beautifully presented,
the fish was cooked nicely.

The peas were
nice and bright.

It was good.

So far, the reviews
in the dining room

are mixed
for both teams' entrees...

And back in the kitchen,

Chef Ramsay
is about to call out

the final order
of the night.

Red team, blue team,

V.I.P.,
the chef of the restaurant.

Entree... one ravioli,
one branzino.

Yes, chef!

Make this
the best dishes

you've cooked all night.

Work together.
Keep it going.

- Yes, chef!
- Let's go.

Ravioli going in the pan.

I'm gonna help you.

I'm prepared
for your ravioli in the pan.

Season, season, season.
Season!

I'll get your salt.

Gavin is kind of
in his own little world.

And he's kind of struggling,

and that's when I realized
I needed to start helping him.

Come on, guys!
We got this, okay, guys?

I'm plating your rav
right now.

Thank you,
thank you.

Great job.
Great job, Sarah.

Keep up the good work,
okay?

- Thanks.
- Thank you so much for helping me.

While the blue team
is finally working together

to finish strong...

The red team is struggling
to complete

the most important order
of the night.

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

We need
way more than that.

- Come on, come on.
- All right.

Sorry, it's my first time
doing it.

No, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop.

No, no, no, no, no.

We don't need more pepper.

We do not need
more pepper.

Alexander,
is the other ravioli in?

No, I didn't put it in.

Okay, can you
do that, please?

- Yes.
- Come on, guys.

Alexander does not work
that well under pressure.

He was, like,
so frazzled.

Teamwork, Alexander.

- You've got to come together.
- Yes, chef.

The fish and the ravioli
have got to arrive together.

Jack, how long
for your branzino?

- Four more minutes, chef.
- Thank you.

Is the ravioli in?

What?

No answer.

They should be in the water!

Yes, chef.

I'm falling behind on time,

and I'm just, like,
struggling to get

those raviolis done.

And if I don't step it up,

that's it...
I'm going home.

Ravioli's ready
for that pot.

What?
Dara, why is he doing that?

I don't know.

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

- Red team...
- Yes, chef?

It's your last ticket.

The fish and the ravioli

have got to arrive together.

The ravioli's
ready for that pot.

What?
Dara, why is he doing that?

- I don't know.
- You drop your raviolis.

- Okay. - You, get the veg in
with the potatoes.

Yes, chef.

This is definitely

the most important meal
of the service.

This is my fate, basically.

We can't mess it up.

Where's the branzino?

It's coming, chef.
30 seconds.

Quick.

- One branzino!
- Ravioli up!

Order up, chef!
Chef!

Thank you.
Well done, blue team.

Thank you, chef.

Ravioli in the window,
chef.

Well done.
Let's go.

- All right, great. - Hey,
all of you, come round. Well done.

When service ends,
I'm exhausted.

We're all exhausted,

and we're just relieved
that it's over.

Well done.
How do you feel?

- Great.
- Great. - Amazing, chef!

You guys did
over 50 covers

of some of the pickiest,

most frequent diners
that Los Angeles has,

and they were blown away.

And they have no idea
who was cooking for them.

I couldn't
have been prouder.

How many dishes came back
from the dining room tonight?

Zero.

That is the sign
of a great service.

And that is a first
in MasterChef.

So help yourself
to a nice, sparkling glass

of cider.

Blue team, help yourself.

Enjoy that
well-deserved apple juice.

Great job, guys.
Well done.

Well done.

- Cheers, guys.
- Cheers, guys.

- Good job, guys.
- Nice job.

Since I was obviously,
to Gordon,

the stronger competitor
on my team,

I'm pretty confident
he'll definitely keep me

in the competition.

- To us!
- To us!

While the teams
celebrate completing

the restaurant takeover
challenge...

Chef Ian is tasting
the entrees from both teams

and giving
his final evaluation.

What do you think
about these dishes visually?

The overall look
of the red team's ravioli

Looks a lot better.

- The sauce coats all the pasta.
- Mm.

The blue team's has too much
garnish, too many carrots.

So let's taste it
and see what you think.

Start with
the red team, please.

Their ravioli
is really good.

They've got a nice amount
of filling.

The sauce is really good.

All right, let's try
the blue team's, then.

The blue team made
the raviolis correctly.

It's just missing
the sauce.

I clearly think

the red team's ravioli

is better.

Now, we will try
the second entree.

This is the branzino
of the red team,

And this is the branzino
of the blue team.

So, visually,
what are we thinking?

The look
of the red team's branzino

looks a little bit better.

Nice, crispy skin.

The fish is cooked well.
Really mild.

Just needs a little bit
more salt.

Okay, let's try
the blue team's.

It's seasoned really well.

It just doesn't have
that crispy skin.

Well, I would say
that the red team's dish

looked a lot better,

but the blue team's fish
tasted a lot better.

So, chef, overall,
which team has the advantage...

The red team
or the blue team?

Really just
splitting hairs here.

We're very close.

With chef Ian's
tastings complete,

the guests
in the dining room

fill out
their comment cards.

The winner
of tonight's challenge

will be decided
by the judges

based on the feedback

from chef Ian,
the customers,

and the team's overall
performance in the kitchen.

The winning team will move on
to the semifinals,

While the losing team

will see at least
two junior home cooks go home.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's great to see you.

And I'd like to thank you
on behalf

of Graham,
Joe, and myself,

Uh, for being part
of this very special lunch.

How was it, by the way?

Would you like
to meet the chefs

that cooked your amazing lunch?

Sarah, Gavin, Troy.

Jack, Dara,
and Alexander.

When we saw the diners
clapping for us,

and they had no idea that kids
were cooking their meals,

some of them
were in disbelief,

and there were some people
crying in the audience.

It was
a pretty amazing feeling.

Yes, that's right.
Your lunch was cooked by

Junior MasterChef
contestants.

Incredible.

And... Wow.

An amazing job.

Maybe a few words

on what you thought
about today's lunch.

It was a lot, probably,
different in here

than back there.

It was a lot of,
"Give me... come on, come on!

Come on, come on!"

And in here,
it was probably like,

"Mmm, it is so good."

Gavin,
how do you feel, bud?

I can see why he stars
on Hell's kitchen.

How do you feel?

I'm feeling amazing,

and now, whenever I go
to a restaurant

and something
is taking too long,

I'm never gonna
say anything!

Newfound respect.

Unbelievable.
Red team, blue team,

seriously, well done.
Now...

Unfortunately,
we have a very,

very difficult decision
to make.

Because we have to decide
which team did

a little bit better
than the other.

Unfortunately...

That won't happen here,

because we need more time
to work this out.

The decision will happen
back in the MasterChef kitchen.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
thank you so much.

- Good night.
- Good-bye. Let's go.

I saw some
of the other team's dishes,

and I feel like our dishes
were more together

and more composed.

I think we're gonna win.

It is definitely
nerve-wracking.

I do think my team
did enough to win,

but anything can happen.

Let's go, guys.

Let's go!

Come on down.

I'm feeling nervous because
it's anyone's game now,

'cause the judges get to decide
who makes it through

and who doesn't.

All right, you all
just did the most amazing job

in the restaurant
takeover challenge.

But...

There can only be
one winning team.

Blue team...

The seasoning needed
balancing in areas.

But, overall,

the speed and the agility
of your team

was outstanding.

- Well done.
- Thank you, chef.

Red team...

Appetizers
were somewhat slow.

But the strength
and determination shown

across those entrees
was phenomenal.

You may have had
a slow start.

But you certainly had

a very strong finish.

The team...

That are going
straight through

to the semifinal

of the first-ever
junior MasterChef...

Congratulations...

Red team.

Oh, my god.

Well done.

Oh, my god.

Good job, guys.

My team wins!

And I'm so excited.
I'm so happy.

I'm going into the semifinals,
which is amazing.

All three of you,
head up to the gallery,

take those red aprons off,

and put your nice,
white ones on.

I'm really sad
that our team lost,

but I'm also really proud,

because I know that we did
the best we could.

Thank you.

So, blue team...

of the three of you,
we are gonna save one of you.

And, sadly, two of you
will be leaving.

We discussed everything.

and we've made probably
one of the most

difficult decisions
that we've ever made

in the MasterChef kitchen.

I really do believe
I should be here.

And, Gavin and Sarah,
they're great,

but it is a competition.

People have to go home.

The one junior
home cook

who will be joining Dara,
Alexander, and Jack

into the semifinal...

I'm very nervous,
'cause I really wanna

make it through
more than anything.

I'm not ready
to go home at all.

Is...

I'm just like,
"Please let it be me.

Please let it be me."

Troy.

Thank you.

- Good job, Troy.
- Good job, man. Good job.

Oh, my god.
I'm super excited.

I made top four,
and I just cannot wait

to see what's next.

Sarah...
You okay?

Don't cry.

Just think of what
you're gonna do.

Think about all those kids
that are gonna cook

because of what
you've done.

We're so, so proud
of you.

Sarah... Gavin...

Not only have you done
your parents proud,

but you've done every

nine-year-old,

every ten-year-old
in America tonight proud.

Come up
and say good-bye, guys.

I'm gonna miss you two.

Oh, dear,
oh, dear.

Gorgeous.

- Come on, big man.
- Thank you.

I'm leaving this competition.

I wish that I would have
stepped up more as captain.

But I did it
as best as I could.

I'm really proud of myself
that I made it to the top six.

I came in as maybe not
one of the best cooks...

But I've definitely grown,
and I've risen.

In any
of my Italian restaurants,

if I wanted to put on
an Italian burger,

this would be
a terrific example.

- Bravo.
- Thank you.

It's been
a great experience.

I've learned so much,

and I'm definitely gonna
keep on cooking when I go home.

Sarah,
who's gonna win

the first-ever
junior MasterChef?

Um... I think
Troy is gonna win.

Troy?
Why Troy?

He's a strong chef,
and he can compete.

And I feel like
he can beat all of 'em.

No offense
to you guys, though.

And Gavin.

Jack might win,

because I know
that he has a strong heart.

And he is determined,
isn't he?

Yeah.

All right, Gavin,
Sarah, take care.

- Good night, guys. Take care.
- Thank you.

Bye, darling.
Good luck.

I came here to win,
and I didn't do that,

but I'm very proud of myself
for making it this far.

Sarah!
There we are, princess.

Let's go.

Whip like a man, Gavin!
Whip like a man!

I proved to myself
that I can do much more

than I thought I could.

I think that you
have nailed it.

I'm still gonna follow
after my food dream.

You haven't seen
the last of me.

Next time,
on MasterChef Junior...

Oh, come on.

...the final four answer
the age-old question...

Which came first,
the chicken or the egg?

Are we gonna have
to kill a chicken?

As they compete
for a shot in the finale...

Jack is praying
to the egg god right now.

Only two can move forward...

Everybody else is done.

...and get the chance
of winning $100,000...

This is
make-it-or-break-it time.

...and the title of America's
first MasterChef Junior.

Nervous?
