Previously on MasterChef...

One word for that--

A formidable ingredient...

This is a great example
of what garbage is.

If you're gonna serve us
crap like that,

then you're really
wasting our time.

That led to some
disastrous results...

That is raw.
Raw pork!

And cost one cook
the competition.

Alejandra, your time
is done in MasterChef.

Tonight...
Christina's going down!

The cooks face off
in a team challenge.

200 very hungry children.

Burgers, burgers, burgers!

Here comes
the big, bad wolf.

A chicken nugget burger
deep-fried

scares the
out of me.

The losing team competes
in a terrifying pressure test.

The dish that puts
the fear of God

into any professional chef
anywhere in the world.

Eight cooks remain
to battle it out

in front of three
culinary heavyweights.

At stake--
$1/4 million

and above all else,

the title of MasterChef.

MasterChef 2x14
Top 8 Compete
Original Air Date on August 1, 2011

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

The remaining eight
home cooks

have been dropped off
in a Los Angeles neighborhood

for an epic challenge
where they'll be cooking

for some very small
but opinionated young critics.

We're walking up this hill
and we see

"MasterChef Block Party."

I've done
a ton of block parties,

so I can definitely
barbecue up a storm

if that's what this challenge
calls for.

Is that Graham hula hooping?

Graham is jumping around
with his hula hoop.

For a big man,
he's agile.

That is impressive!

Good morning.
Morning.

Welcome to our block party.

Unfortunately today,
you're not the guests.

There are 200

very hungry children...

on their way.

200 children?

Just hurtling toward you,
hungry,

ready to stuff greasy
food in their mouths

and wipe their grubby
little fingers all over you.

Worst nightmare
I can think of.

And you are gonna
have to prepare

a stunning slider
and a side for them.

Sounds easy, right?

But you know on MasterChef
there are always catches.

It'd be way too easy

to please those kids
with a meaty hamburger

or greasy French fries.

Which is why
you won't be able to use

beef or potatoes.

Oh, my God.

Get the kids
to love what you do,

because they're
not just your guests.

They're also your judges
in today's challenge.

What?

Kids have no filter,

so they're gonna be
as honest and as brutal

as any of our critics
have been.

So that part scares me
a little bit.

As always,
you'll be split into two teams.

Christian and Christine,

the two of you
had the best dishes

in yesterday's
elimination test,

so you'll be today's
team captains.

All right, Christian,
you're picking first.

I need someone
that can get on the grill.

He's been in the top
quite a few times.

Being on Christian's team,
I know he's just like,

"This is how it is.
This is how it goes."

And you have Christine

who's kinda in like all over
the place like emotionally.

I don't want to be
on either team

just because
they're captains.

I'm going with Adrien.
Adrien. Wow.

Christine.
I think this person is

creative,
has a delicate hand,

possibly great
with children.

So I pick Tracy.
Excellent.

Tracy,
welcome to the red team.

He works well
in the kitchen,

and I think he's gonna
be good on the prep.

Derrick.
You don't thin

the undertaker's gonna cost
you votes from these kids?

No. I'm not gonna let him
interact with the children.

Christine.
I think this person

is great at strategizing,
and it's Ben.

Welcome to red team.
Christian.

I really want to be
on Christine's team.

I think she's gonna be
a better leader.

Christian runs a team
by dictatorship,

and that's not really
how I work.

I need somebody
that's good with children.

Jennifer.
Wow. Good choice.

Aaaah...

I'm not really thrilled,

but I have to suck it up,

and I know that I have to
get my mindset

in the right direction.

Suzy, last pick?

I am left with Suzy.

You like her and you hate her.
She's annoying.

But as long as she remembers
that I am the team Captain

and that she follows
my direction,

then we'll be great.

Listen carefully.

The losing team will face
the most difficult pressure test

in MasterChef so far.

Trust me, this challenge

is anything but child's play.

So focus.
Two hours prep,

and then 60 minutes
to serve.

Are you ready?
Yes, Chef.

Your time starts...

Now.
Off you go.

Each team will have two hours

to prepare and cook sliders
and sides

for 200 hungry children.

The team that receives
the most votes from the kids

will be the winner,

but first they must
decide on their menus.

We're gonna do a simple
Turkey burger.

Anything in it?
Salt, pepper?

Salt, pepper,

little bit of onion
and garlic?

Grated onion?
No, no, no.

Not even the grated, dude?
Just a little bit of--
dude, no.

Christian's not listening
to us right now.

Derrick and I both
have brought up

flavoring the burger,
putting something in there

to give it moisture,

but Christian never listens
to anybody except for Christian.

Eggs?
No, no, no, no.

They want ketchup,
a piece of cheese, .

Guys, what if we do
fruit for a side?

Strawberries and grapes--
it's hot out...

Or we can do apple fries.

Sugar? Make some caramel?
Yeah.

There's not much give and take
when it comes to the menu,

but Christian's got
a nine-year-old kid,

so I'm thinking he's gonna
know better than any of us.

Christian has talked
his blue team into making

a plain and simple
Turkey slider with cheese,

ketchup, mustard,
and a pickle.

The side will be raw
apple sticks

with a caramel
dipping sauce.

Oh, yeah,
that's looking good.

While there's already friction
in team blue,

the opposition is united
in their decision.

We want to do the breaded
chicken sandwich slider?

We should definitely
call it a...

Chicken nugget sandwich?
Chicken nuggets.

What kid doesn't love
chicken nuggets?

So let's give 'em
a chicken nugget burger.

Ben thinks he really can make
a corn fritter

and make it awesome.

We have to serve
a side dish,

and we see corn
up there in the pantry.

And so my initial response is
those little corn nuggets

that you see
on all-you-can-eat buffets--

the kids just go and take 'em
by the handfuls.

Chicken
and corn nuggets.

Christine's red team is making
a chicken nugget slider

seasoned with salt,
pepper, and onion powder.

It will be topped with cheese,
ranch sauce, and lettuce.

For their side,
they'll serve corn fritters.

How did you divide up
the work?

Ben and Tracy
are on the corn fritters,

and Suzy and I
are on the sliders.

He's got a formidable
bunch of cooks over there.

We have a better team.
You have a better team
you think.

Yes.
Why's that?

'Cause we all communicate.
We all work well together.

But at the end of the day,
you're calling the shots.

You're team Captain.
Yes, I am the Captain.

Victory or failure really falls
squarely on your shoulders.

It does.
Good luck.

Thank you so much.

Jennifer's working on
making caramel sauce.

I'm cutting the apples,

and Adrien and Derrick
are pattying up.

Christine is goin'...Down.

What's going on, you guys?
What are you making?
Burgers and fries.

Burgers and fries.
Burgers and fries.
Whoa!

Is that sugar?

Do I see caramel coming?

We're gonna do
apple dippers,

so Christian's working on
our apples right now.

What are you trying to do,
like a healthy twist?

You think that's gonna
get you votes?

Kids love caramel.
What kid doesn't
love caramel?

And every kid
loves an apple.

Have you made this
before?

Caramel? I've made it
one time before,

so we're just trying not to
touch it as much as possible,

but there's so much in there,

so we're just trying
to get it all around.

You're gonna win this

with green apple?
Yeah.

What do you think
about the red team?

I think they're gonna
overcomplicate their .

I gotta say, I think a lot of
your competition around here

are looking at you
as the guy to beat, so...

I think they're thinking
the right way.

Wow.
No lack of confidence
here.

No lack of confidence.

While stay-at-home-dad
Christian

is expecting
the blue team to win

with a healthy Turkey burger
and apple side,

single mom Christine
and her red team

have an entirely
different approach.

All right, Christine,
what's on the menu?

We have chicken
nugget burger.

And you're serving that
with what?

Corn nuggets.

And in terms of
cooking the corn,

you're gonna fry it?
Yes.

Shallow fry or deep-fried?
I think deep-fry.

Where is the burger?
I saw one he cooked.

Is that it there?
That is one, yes.

We're actually gonna be
deep-frying it.

Why are we deep-frying
burgers?

They're chicken nuggets.

Are we doing a burger
or are we doing a nugget?

We're doing
a nugget sandwich.

A nugget sandwich.
Yes.

Can we just get
a little bit serious?

A chicken nugget burger
deep-fried

scares the
out of me.

Here comes
the big, bad wolf.

Well, you're not
a five-year-old kid, Chef.

No, I have four children.

Nuggets don't get
served in buns.

Chef Ramsay strides into the
middle of our perfect harmony

and says, "Why are you
serving chicken nuggets?"

We're deep-frying
the slider,

and we're deep-frying
the side dish.

I'm telling you as a judge
in this competition,

that's junk food.
Gordon's doubting my team,

and I'm thinking to myself,
"oh ."

Hell.

In this MasterChef challenge,

two teams are going
head-to-head

cooking sliders and sides
for 200 hungry children.

Chef Ramsay is concerned that
the red team's unhealthy menu

will not go down well
with the kids.

We're deep-frying
the slider,

and we're deep-frying
the side dish.

I'm telling you as a judge
in this competition,

that's junk food.
Kids love that, Chef.

It may not be healthy,

but today is not the day
for us to revamp

the nutritional system
for children in this country.

Today is the day to get
the kids to vote.

I've got concerns already
on the red team.

Really?

They're gonna be making
a slider dressed as a nugget

and deep-fried.
Really?

Is it a chicken nugget
sandwich

or a chicken burger?

According to Ben,
kids love nuggets in a bun.

That's a new one for me.

Blue team's much clearer.

They're making
a straight Turkey burger.

They decided to go
apples with caramel sauce.

A little healthy choice
for the kids,

but maybe it'll work
for them.

So you know I think
I'm thinking, Adrien,

ketchup on the top.

That way you can ketchup,
throw some pickles down.

Christian has a clear vision
of the blue team's menu,

even if his team members
disagree.

We'll split
all the buns in half,

and then we can
lay out all the tops.

A lot of kids
don't like mustard, though.

Just my opinion.

Yeah, but with the ketchup
together, it's kinda--

I wouldn't have put
mustard on it,

but I've voiced my opinion
so many times,

and it's been ignored,

so I'm just gonna follow along
with what he wants to do.

How you losers
doin' over there?

We're getting ready
to kick your ass.

Hah!
How's that?

They're trying to do like a
fried chicken nuggest sandwich.

They're gonna back
themselves up.

They're doing something
with the corn for dessert.

Come on.
You're a kid.

You want one of these
with ,

or do you want a corn
fritter?

I want an apple
with caramel.

The blue team continues
to move ahead

with Christian's menu

while the red team
takes a team approach

to problem-solving.

So we're gonna
deep-fry these?

We're gonna
Dee-fry them.
Yes.

Is the oil hot enough?

It's on, right?

This is taking me forever.

These pans are not
hot.

This is not gonna work.

It's definitely
not gonna work.

We can't cook 200
burgers on that,

so we gotta come up
with a plan "b."

Christine, I would start
looking at the grill option.

Pan-frying these chicken
nuggets will not work.

We cannot turn out 200 of these

in the time frame
which we need to,

so we have to grill them.

On the blue team,

everyone's been assigned
their own job,

but Christian does not trust
Jennifer to handle the caramel.

I'm gonna go like another
maybe two minutes.

You're gonna have to
move it around

so the heat
can hit everything.

Christian thinks he knows
the best way to do everything,

and he does not know how
to relinquish control.

I don't want to keep
scraping the sides

because it's bringing in sugar
that's not been caramelizing.

As soon as you start moving
dissolved sugar around,

it starts to crystallize.

It's very difficult
to salvage.

Give me this
pot.

There's not enough heat,

and Jennifer's obviously
not smart enough

to figure out
to use the fryolater burner,

and she up
the caramel.

Christian, what do you
want me to do with this?

Is that draining too, yes?

Yeah. That's why I didn't
want it to be stirred.

I'm not really happy
about it,

but I'm gonna try
to strain it

see if maybe I can get
something out of it.

Our sauce is a train wreck
right now.

90 minutes gone.
30 minutes to go.

Things aren't going
much smoother on the red team.

Now that they've decided
to grill their chicken sliders,

they're running into
another unexpected problem.

Is this the one
for us to taste?
Yes.

Is it dry?
No.

The bread crumb's
keeping them moist.

I don't know if the breading
adds anything,

except sandpaper.

Pulls moisture out.

Graham and Joe think
the sliders are gonna be dry

'cause it's breaded
in bread crumbs.

They're not really confident
about our team,

which makes me
a little pissed off.

All right, let's see
this fritter, man.

A little dry.

They're very dry.

That chicken
looks dry.

That's why we have
sauces for everything.

All right. I hope
that can pull it through,

because it's like
the Sahara desert here.

Joe's like,
"don't you think everything's

just gonna be dry, dry, dry?"

We're like,
no, we have ranch dressing

to dip the fritters in,

and for our burger.

Of course,
it's not gonna be dry.

12 minutes to go,
blue team, please.

Have you finished
your caramel now?

Yes.

Okay, and this is the, uh--
this is the sauce?

Damn, it's grainy.

It's crystallized,
isn't it?

Chef, how
many five-year-olds

do you know
that know about

crystallized caramel?

That's not
what I'm saying.

Understood, Chef.

I understand,
but, I mean--

listen, you
can try and be smart.

Look at me. Just saying
the sauce is .

It's just grainy,
and it tastes of raw sugar.

I know Christian doesn't
understand what I'm trying to--

right, I know exactly
what you're saying, yes.

Rule number one
when making a caramel,

you never stir it.
Correct.

Jenny wanted to try
and shift the blame

for the caramel sauce
onto me,

because I stirred
it a couple times.

Now, do I think that ruined
the caramel? , no.

Yeah, that's why I told you,
you can't stir it.

I don't think
it's a huge ordeal,

so I'm still gonna
serve it to the kids.

Just over
one minute to go.

I can hear the children
coming. Let's go.

I'm super nervous
about the chicken patties

being ready
for all of these kids.

200 chicken patties
at one time?

No way.

Christine, you got the burgers?
Okay.

Last ten seconds.

The first pan of fritters,

salted, ready to go.

Let's go, team.

Do we have
20 burgers ready to go?

Come on, come on, come on.

Time's up!
Here come the kids!

Oh, my God!

Here come
your judges, guys.

Holy crap.

The children will try
a slider and side

from both the red team
and the blue team

and vote
on their favorite.

All of a sudden,
there's, like, herds

of children
coming up the hill,

and I think fear
washed over me.

Let's go!

Bring the burgers,
bring the burgers.

Aah! Keep bringin'
burgers, guys,

quickly
as possible.

Remember, if you don't like it,
spit it out,

throw it at them.
Do whatever you wish.

You're in charge.

All right, guys,
here we go.

Can I take one?
There we go.

The blue team is serving

a grilled Turkey slider,

topped with cheese,
pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

On the side, they're serving
raw apple sticks

with caramel dipping sauce.

These caramel apples
are awesome!

Thank you, buddy!

You're the best!

Vote blue.
Don't forget.

Who had
the best sides?

I like the apple one,

but, um, the caramel
had, like, chunks in it.

It was weird.

That's a very
acute observation.

Red team
or blue team?

Blue.
The blue?

Why the blue?

Because the red one
was a lot more dry.

Wow.

While the blue team has

an efficient assembly line
going,

the red team is already
falling behind.

Are you guys hungry?

Yeah!

I swear I cooked,
like, 50 burgers.

All of a sudden,
they're all gone.

What the hell
just happened?

I gotta hurry up.

I gotta make
these nugget sliders

as quick as I can.

Tell 'em
not to fall behind.

Say burgers! Burgers!

Burgers!
Burgers! Burgers! Burgers!

Red team is serving up

a chicken nugget burger, topped
with cheese and ranch sauce.

For their side,
they're serving corn fritters.

How were your burgers?

I was on the blue team.

Now we're
on the red team.

Oh, you're waiting for
the burgers from the red team.

I wish they'd hurry up.

Burgers! Burgers!

There seems to be a long,
long wait for these burgers.

The kids are, like, screaming
and banging on the table,

like, "we want food!
We want food!"

We want burgers!

The blood pressure
starts to go up,

and you're thinking,
"how on earth are we gonna

be able to feed
all these children?"

That would take a miracle.

Hold on, guys!
They're comin'!

Not fast enough!

We want burgers!
We want burgers!

We want burgers!

It's the MasterChef
Block Party.

200 kids are trying
a slider and side

from both the blue
and red teams.

Once they've eaten both,

the kids will vote
for their favorite.

But Christine's red team
is working slowly

and can't keep up
with the demand.

Hold on, guys!
They're comin'!

Not fast enough!

We want burgers!
We want burgers!

Who wants
chicken nuggets?

I do!
Yeah!

That's what
I like to hear!

Come on, guys,
I need some, uh, burgers.

Burgers!

There's two.
Thank you.

We're getting our food out,

and the red team is not,

and that's why we're hearing
a lot of cheering

and yelling over there,

and they're kind of getting
the kids pumped up.

Shenanigans.

Keep them entertained.

Just keep them
entertained.

They're
almost done.

Go red team!
Go red team!

It took a long time
for us to wait for the red.

Why, because
they're slow?

No, I think it's
because they took some time,

'cause the red
was infinitely better.

Infinitely better.

Which one
do you prefer?

Is it the cooking
from the red team

or is it the cooking
from the blue team?

♪ It's the cooking
from red team! ♪

I love the way
you sing that as well.

You're amazing.

While the red team
is playing catch-up,

the blue team
is having trouble

meeting the demands
of some finicky customers.

No ketchup!
No ketchup!

No mustard!

Yeah, we'll
have to scrape it off.

Kids, when they
don't like something,

they're gonna tell you.

I don't like too much
ketchup and sauce.

The blue burger
just had too much stuff,

because it had pickle,
mustard, ketchup,

burger, cheese.

It was just, like, mixing
all those flavors.

I love
the blue burger.

Oh, thank you!

Which one
did you like?

You like--
you like this one?

I like that
and that.

You like
that and that.

Could I have
some more of the apple?

You know it's good

when they're coming
back for seconds.

It's clear both team's dishes
have won fans,

but as service
draws to a close,

only the team
with the majority of votes

can win the challenge.

Finally, the last burger
goes out.

Thank God that's over.

I think we did
an amazing job,

I'm very proud
of us, red team!

Awesome! Whoo-hoo!

Good job, guys.

All the kids are served,

and we got
about 40 extra burgers.

Listen up, all of you
are junior masterchefs,

and you're gonna
be receiving

the hottest cooking kits
around,

courtesy of MasterChef
and Kidsline.

Here you go, guys.

Start passin'
'em back.

You'll get
all the tools you need

to start off right at home

from burgers to pancakes
and cupcakes.

The kids have tried sliders

from Christine's red team

and Christian's blue team.

Now it's time
for them to vote.

When Gordon signals them,

the kids will
run to the team

whose sliders and sides
they preferred.

The team
with the most kids will win.

On the count of three,

you're gonna run up there

and make sure
you land in the circle

that you think has cooked
the most delicious burger.

The red team

And the blue team.

Blue team!

One...

Two...

Three! Go!

Go! Go!

You see the kids,

they're laughing
and screaming

and running as fast
as they possibly can.

You know, we're screaming,
"come on! Come to the red team!

Come to the red team!"

Red!

And you see
a big herd of them

break off and start
going over to blue,

and I'm like,
"oh, no! How many are there?"

We know our food
was better.

Who has the best burger,

red team or blue team?
I want to hear you!

Red team!
Red team!

It's just crazy.
Kid are running,

and you're trying to see
if they're in your circle,

or if they're
in the blue circle.

And you're trying
to count how many kids.

Oh.

Red team, blue team,
we're going to have a count.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

37, 38, 39.

Okay, perfect, guys!

The winner
of the block party...

Congratulations to...

The red team!

Yes!

Whoo-hoo!

Yes!

I'm just so happy
that I won.

No pressure test!
No pressure test!

Yeah!

Aah!
Whoo!

Blue team,

you will be facing
the pressure test,

where at least one of you
will be leaving MasterChef.

I'm pissed off.

Five to ten-year-old kids

aren't judging solely on food,
I don't think.

They took a long time
to get their food out,

so they were able
to gain votes

by talking their ears off.

They got
the popularity vote.

I gave her
extra apples.

I'm really pissed off.

I think we lost because
Christian's not willing

to open up
to other ideas

unless they come
out of his mouth.

Christian was an absolutely
horrendous leader today.

♪ ♪

Let's go, guys.

Any time we walk
into this kitchen

and it's a pressure test,

it's always
a nerve-racking experience.

You don't know what
they're gonna throw at you,

and there's a chance
you're going home.

Welcome, everyone.

Yesterday,
you flipped burgers

for 200 very calm,
very quiet,

unopinionated children,
right?

Yes, Chef.

Red team, you won
by two-to-one votes.

Wow.
Wow.

Well done.

I kicked Christian's ass.

Boo-yah!

You can slide on up
to the gallery.

Congratulations.
Off you go.

I know that they are pissed,

and they are frustrated,

and they are scared.

All right, Christian,

team Captain.

Yes, Chef.

Why did you lose
that challenge?

Kids are tricky
to please.

When you can
only make 200 burgers 1 way,

and they don't
like something,

then you're
gonna lose their vote.

Kids are smart.

They pick up
on what's happening.

They probably pick up

certainly on dissention
within the team.

You were assertive,

and you made
every decision.

And it was really bizarre,
because every time

a member of your team was
coming forward with an idea,

Bang!

You squashed them.

Is that just arrogance
or selfishness?

I was the team Captain,

so I took charge
of my team.

Jennifer, was...

Christian
a good Captain?

Absolutely not.

Every time
I brought up an idea,

it was pushed
to the side.

I told us we had to
put onions

to make that burger juicy.

I disagree.

Kids don't like mustard,

I certainly don't think
they're gonna like onions.

Across the board,
200 kids,

you're gonna have a kid
that's not gonna like an onion.

They're never
even gonna know

it's in there
if it's shaved.

It's gonna flavor it.

Okay, I had
my five-year-old nephew,

and let me
tell you something,

kid doesn't eat ,

and he
would eat that.

I love the fact that Jennifer
stood up to him

and was like,
"You suck as a leader.

You're an arrogant bastard."

I thought it was
pretty damn funny.

The harsh reality
of your failure

cooking
for that block party

is that at least
one of you

will be leaving
MasterChef.

Christian, tell me

the two weakest
performers

that should face
the pressure test

from your losing team.

Um, me, because
I was the Captain.

And Jennifer.

If she didn't know
how to make caramel sauce,

she should have
said something.

I didn't stick
a spoon in there

and stir it around
like you were.

Jennifer, would you
go head to head

in this tough
pressure test

against Christian?

I think I'm
a better cook than him,

so if it's cooking,
absolutely.

Christian?

I'll go
head to head right now.

I know I'm a better cook
than her.

Derrick, who would
you put your money on?

Uh, if it's just straight-up
cooking and technique,

I'd have to go
with Christian.

Adrien?

It's gonna be Christian.

Christian, Jennifer,

you'll be facing
the pressure test.

Alongside...

Derrick and Adrien.

All four of you
are gonna do it.

I definitely feel
like I'm not the cook

that Adrien
or Christian is,

so this is a really scary
pressure test for me.

Today's challenge
really puts the pressure

in the pressure test.

It's the dish that
puts the fear of God

into any professional chef

anywhere in the world.

Because today's pressure test

is all about
a stunning,

unique,

delicious...

Cheese souffle.

I'm super excited to see

that the souffle
is the pressure test.

I've done them
a few times for dinner parties,

so I'm excited.

It's like a chef's nightmare,

one of
the hardest challenges

they've ever made anybody
in MasterChef face.

It truly takes
a MasterChef

to craft a perfect,
savory souffle.

Nothing will be able
to really define your skill

as much as being able
to do a souffle.

Step behind
your stations, please.

Your 90 minutes
start from...

Now.

Good luck.

In this pressure test,
the home cooks

will have 90 minutes
to make

as many cheese souffles
as they want,

but can only present one
to the judges.

At any time
during the challenge,

the contestants can present
their perfect souffle.

The judges will be looking
for texture,

proper rise
of the dough,

and overall flavor.

It's gonna be one of the most
exciting pressure tests.

Chefs anywhere
in the world

will still screw up
a souffle.

Cheese souffle
is less forgiving

than even
a sweet souffle.

Think of the oils
and the fats in cheese.

That can go so wrong
across the egg whites.

And then
if it's too light

and it's packed
with egg white

and you haven't got
that cheese richness,

that lovely
sort of cheese puff,

that's what
we're looking for.

I have done savory souffles
and sweet souffles.

Making the perfect one's
the scary part.

There's a lot of things that
can go wrong with a souffle.

You gotta have
a lot of patience,

um, you really have
to be accurate about everything.

Souffle is
one of those things

where you have to have
exact measurement,

and if you don't,
it falls.

Right now, I'm just, uh,
pulling the butter

up to the top
of the ramekin

so when the souffle
comes up,

it'll rise out of there
the right way.

All right, guys,

you have just 45 minutes
to go.

The four MasterChef
competitors are racing

to create the roux,

a mixture
of flour and butter,

which is a building block
of a perfect souffle.

He didn't cook his roux.

He never cooked
his roux.

That's gonna
taste nasty.

Gonna taste disgusting.

I'm very confident
in my skills.

I cook by touch
and feel and instinct.

Takes a little bit
of balls.

I'm gonna make
a great souffle my way.

What you doing?

I'm gonna combine
both the cheeses,

both the parmesan
and the cheddar.

What texture you going for?
Nice and creamy.

Who's gonna
come up short?

Christian. I think he's
an arrogant son of a bitch,

and I think
he's a liar.

I don't know what the hell
Jennifer's talking about.

She just wants to
throw me under the bus,

'cause she's mad that she has
to be down here doing this.

I didn't come here

to let some punk-ass
little piece of

run his mouth and
treat people like .

It's not who I want
representing me

as a MasterChef.

After a loss
in this week's team challenge,

Christian, Derrick,
Adrien, and Jennifer

must face the toughest
pressure test yet--

a cheese souffle.

Tension between
Christian and Jennifer

reaches
a boiling point.

I didn't come here
to let some punk-ass

little piece of
treat people like .

Om?

No, I don't feel
anything from anyone.

Nothing?
Just on your island over here?

I'm trying to make
a souffle.

I'm not trying
to draw up a peace treaty

for Jennifer and Christian.

They can handle that
themselves.

I'm focusing
on staying here.

Christian, you're lookin'
nice and organized.

Yesterday, you succeeded in
pissing a lot of people off.

Maybe people think that
you cost them the challenge.

You know, sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose.

Today, someone's
gonna go home

on the back of
your lack of leadership.

We're here
to play the game.

Who do you
want to go home?

I want Jennifer
to go home.

Nearly an hour into
this difficult pressure test,

most of the competitors

are moving on
to the second critical phase

of making a souffle,
the egg whites.

The way that a souffle
rises is from the egg whites.

So if you don't have
your egg whites mixed properly

from the beginning,

you're gonna get a flat souffle
and it's not gonna rise.

And that's definitely
not what you want.

Right.

Talk to me about
who's gonna fall

flat on their ass
on this one.

Christian seems like
he's in a bad mood,

which is definitely
not good.

Who do you want to see
leave MasterChef tonight?

Christian,
because I feel like

he's big competition.

Good luck.

During this challenge,

the home cooks can choose
to serve up their souffle

at any time,
but they only get one shot.

How many souffles
do you think

each one will make?

I think you're gonna have

one person out there that's
gonna try to be a tough guy

and just use his first one.

Like who?

I'm thinking
Christian might do that.

You think
Christian is...

Puttin' one up,
his first one.

Is that bold as
to serve the first--

I think ego
gets in the way.

My plan is, let me
just get one batch done,

taste it, adjust,
and do a second batch,

so I make sure
that I serve something

that I'm comfortable with.

Oh, wow.

They look beautiful.

There we go.

Such a good cook,

she has a whole
peanut gallery to help her.

People actually
like me, Christian.

'cause you're
a mind .

She can go ahead and say
she's a better cook than me,

but I think that's
a arrogant thing to say,

because she knows
it's baloney.

Wah wah wah
wah-wah wah-wah-wah-wah.

That's all I here.

You know what,
if that's what you need

to make yourself
feel better and confident,

it's sad.

35 minutes to go.

It should take between
14 to 17 minutes in the oven.

Derrick is ahead of the game,

as his first batch
of souffles

is already finished.

So I pull out
my first batch of test souffles,

and they've got
the right texture,

but I just really
am thinking

they need a little more kick.

Think I'm just gonna try to put
a little more cheese in it.

I'd like it definitely
to be a little bolder than this.

With Derrick already starting
his second batch,

the other three home cooks
are anxiously awaiting

the outcome
of their first souffles.

Comin' up really nice.
Not gettin' too brown.

The one on the left is...

Ahh! "Souferb."

Despite having
more than enough time

to bake a second batch,

Christian decides to serve
his very first souffle.

I'm like, "cook
another souffle!"

To serve something
that you haven't had

the chance to perfect
right off the bat to the judges

could be suicide.

You could be going home
because of that choice.

I would never do that.

This is it, yes?

That is my souffle.

Okay, great.
What's in there?

Cheddar, pinch of parmesan,

little bit of chive,

um, some mustard powder,
some garlic powder,

and I rimmed the, uh,
ramekin with parmesan.

Okay, visually,
it's got the impact.

Smells good
from here.

What's the texture we're looking
for in the center?

It should be
nice and fluffy,

and still have
that little bit of creamy edge

from the cheese.

The waiting's killing me.

I think he just
needs to say something,

'cause, uh,
it's nerve-racking.

20 minutes to go.

If you're going in
for the last batch now,

they should be in the oven

in the next three
to four minutes.

I just put the second batch in.

It better be
the batch that works

'cause I don't have time to
make another batch of souffles.

This is all or nothing
for me right now.

I'm looking at my first batch
through the oven,

and it's rising
just the right amount.

It's perfect.
I'm gonna serve it.

I'm not even gonna put
another batch in the oven.

Okay, Adrien.

It's light and fluffy,
a little creamy.

Four parts gruyere,
two parts cheddar.

Structure looks good to you?

Yes.

Good color on top?
Yes.

You looking for it to be
more wet or more dry?

A little more wet.

The fact that they're
not responding instantly

after tasting it
is torture.

I'm looking
at my test souffle,

and it looks beautiful,

so I'm gonna
go with this one.

This is gonna be the winner.

Should be
nice and rich.

I actually steeped
my chives in my milk,

so you'll have that background
of onion flavor.

So when I cut right through
here in the middle...

Should be nice and gooey.

Very custardy.

Yeah.

Eggs have been
your undoing in the past.

You count on the salinity,
the salt

coming
from the parmesan,

or did you add
additional salt?

I backed off the salt
just a hair,

because of the salt
in the parmesan cheese, yes.

Come on, Derrick.

I'm running out of time.

The only thing I can do
is just keep looking at my oven

and see how my souffles
are doing.

How long, Derrick?

Uh, momentarily.

One minute to go.

They're rising, they look good,

but they still need
a little more time.

Derrick, 30 seconds to go!

Share the joy of cooking
with your kids

with cooking kits
as seen on MasterChef.

These oven-ready kits
are chef inspired

for kids who cook
by Kidsline.

One minute to go.

Derrick is the only home cook

to make a second batch
of souffles,

but with
only seconds left,

will his decision leave him
with nothing to serve?

Ay yi yi.

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

Come on!

Ten, nine,

eight,

seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one.

Here you go.

Light and creamy,

predominantly
gruyere cheese.

I went for sharp,

and, uh, there's some parmesan,
intermixed throughout.

I garnished it
with some parmesan

and some chives on top.

Second attempt
or third attempt?

Second, chef.
Second?

This is your best?

Yes.

What kind of cheese
predominantly?

Predominantly gruyere
with some parmesan in there.

The judges must decide
based purely on their souffle

who will move on
in the competition

and who will be sent home.

Yeah, Jennifer.

Jennifer, with the cheese
flavor and texture.

With the chives,
the question is...

Yeah, interesting.

Yeah, seriously.

Yeah.
It's close.

That was intense.

And for us, so far,

the most difficult
pressure test ever

on MasterChef.

Okay.

♪ ♪

Jennifer, step forward,
please.

What a journey.

Yes, Chef.

Last time you were
in a pressure test,

eggs were somewhat
your undoing.

This time...

You've done them justice.
Congratulations.

Take your apron upstairs.

Great job.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Derrick,
step forward, please.

To have Jennifer be safe,

you know, and I look down,

and I see those two guys,

I'm just like, "wow,
I think I'm goin' home."

♪ ♪

Derrick,

you were the only one
that cooked two batches.

The second attempt...

Was delicious.
Congratulations.

Thank you, thank you.

Take your apron
upstairs.

I'm surprised to see me
and Adrien standing down there.

I don't know what I'm doing
being in the last two.

But one of us is going home.

This is really hard.

I couldn't pray enough
that they send Christian home.

Adrien, step forward.

♪ ♪

Take your apron...

Upstairs.
Congratulations.

I cannot stop smiling.

He's finally going home.

Christian's outta here,

and I'm just dumbfounded.

Christian
is the powerhouse.

That's not what I expected.

Christian...

You haven't made
many souffles?

No.

Yours...

Was also delicious.

Congratulations.
Upstairs.

Ohh!
Ohh!

Man, he's still here.
Why? Why?

Send him home.

Christian is staying.

What the hell?

Those souffles

were phenomenal,
all four of them.

And that's why no one
is leaving MasterChef.

Wow.

It makes me
a little uneasy

that the judges
kept all four,

because I realized who might
be going home tomorrow.

Congratulations
for bringing

top-level technique,
restaurant-quality souffles.

Thank you.

Get some rest, 'cause tomorrow
is one hell of a day.

Yes, chef
thank you.

Well done.

Thank you.

Next time on MasterChef...

I want you
to taste this.

Christian and Chef Ramsay
face off.

I've had better.

You may want to be
a smart ass

and start acting
like an arrogant .

'Cause all of a sudden,
you shut down.

Am I gonna stand up there

and butter Jen's ass?
Hell, no,

don't throw me
under the bus.

And the cooks'
childhood memories...

Oh, my God!

You look like
you're on star search.

Turn into
their worst nightmares.

That is one of your worst
performances in MasterChef.

And at least
one more home cook's

MasterChef dreams

will come to an end.
