I cannot
freaking believe

that they gave this cowboy
a t-bone steak.

I'm just
totally jacked.

Glistening
before your eyes

is a gorgeous usda
choice t-bone steak.

Alongside it, a selection
of wonderful fresh produce,

corn, watermelon,
cabbage, peach,

sour cream, tarragon,
cayenne, and paprika.

All of that
in front of you,

including
that beautiful steak,

will cost you
less than $15 from Walmart.

(Stacey)
When I think of Walmart,

I definitely
don't think of steak.

It was kind of cool to see
so many different things

in just such a limited budget
but good, quality ingredients.

And remember,
like all mystery boxes,

you don't have to use
everything we give you.

In addition, you have access
to the staple pantry box

to cook a stunning dish.

Okay, you have 60 minutes
to make one amazing dish

that we could sell
in any of our restaurants

for $40 plus

with just $15 worth
of Walmart fresh groceries.

Your time starts...

Now.

[Dramatic music]

♪ ♪

Everyone can
relate to this

'cause it's the kind
of ingredients

you'll have on
an everyday basis.

We're gonna have to see
some real imagination.

What would you do?
I think what I would do

is take the t-bone,
i'd spice rub it,

i'd sear it up,
do a corn pudding underneath,

and then some
grilled peaches topped

with some of the tarragon
and sour cream to finish.

Nice, nice, nice.

Remember,
one stunning plate.

Tanya, how are you?
Good, chef.

You've never been
in the top three.

I haven't.
Are you fading?

Are you...
No, no, no, no.

I've been coasting
in the middle,

and I really want
to make my way up there.

Purposely or...?

I got off
to a rocky start,

I'm not gonna lie,

but I'm working my way
up there, you know?

Good luck.

Feisty.

How you doing, boys?
What's up, franky?

So nothing Italian here,
no pasta, no...

Nah, you guys gave me
a t-bone steak, man.

I'm gonna do all-American,
summertime.

Hopefully the sauce comes out
good with the peaches.

I have a good idea
in my head.

(Gordon)
Interesting combinations.

Yeah, absolutely.

Felix is
doing a roulade.

(Joe) She made some
sort of a buttercream,

and she's butchered out
the steak.

You don't do
a roulade of t-bone.

The filling
was delicious!

(Gordon) I know, but the
fibers of a t-bone steak

doesn't lend itself
to being...

She's trying to stand out.
Yeah, I mean...

Becky's
making dessert.

(Gordon) To take that t-bone,
cast it to the side,

and do a dessert...

It's a ballsy move.
That's very ballsy.

Uh, Becky...
Hello, chef.

Are you intimidated
by a t-bone?

No, I'm not intimidated.

I think that this is
actually a strategic move,

being the only person
doing dessert.

What is the dessert?

Oh, I'm doing
a creme anglaise

infused with tarragon

and then roasted peaches
and caramel.

Good luck, Becky.

Hello, boys.
Hi, Stacey.

Who's the top three
right now?

(Stacey)
Um, I think Josh, Christine,

and myself.
What about Becky?

(Stacey) She talks a lot. You know?

She hasn't won
anything yet though,

so let her back it up,
and we'll see.

Ten minutes to go.

Tali, touch that.
Yeah.

Temperature-wise,
where are you with that?

It's medium,
medium-well.

What's gonna
happen to that steak

in ten minutes' time?
It's going to, uh...

Medium-well resting
for ten more minutes

is gonna go to well-done.
Yeah.

Good luck, Tali.

To be at this level,
nobody should struggle.

We're in
the Masterchef kitchen.

If you don't know
how to cook a steak,

you're in
the wrong place.

Guys, just
under five minutes.

Start thinking about
what you're choosing,

how you're gonna
plate it,

wiping it down,
and presenting it.

Darn it.

(Gordon)
Two minutes to go.

Here we go.

Where's that paprika?

Christine, two minutes to go.
Yes, chef.

She hasn't got
the corn on the plate.

What's she doing?

Change gear, Christine.
You're not gonna make it.

13 dishes.
We're only tasting three.

(Gordon)
Come on, finishing touches.

Guys, it's so vital
that these plates look amazing.

Don't waste the last hour that
you did by ruining how it looks.

(Gordon)
Five, four, three, two, one.

And stop.

(Gordon)
Finishing touches.

15 seconds to go.

Guys, it's so vital
that these plates look amazing.

Five, four,
three, two, one.

(Gordon)
And stop.

[Relieved sigh]

(Gordon)
Well done.

I'm feeling
really confident.

I love how my meat looks,

and I pulled it
out of my [Bleep].

I don't know
how I did it.

Everybody happy
with their dishes?

(All)
Yes, chef.

(Narrator) After observing and
tasting throughout the challenge...

(Gordon)
Nice.

(Narrator) The judges
now take one final look

to identify
three standout dishes.

I'm sweating like
a whore in church, man.

(Tali) Becky is screwed.
Why would you do dessert?

I don't think
that's Masterchef level.

(Gordon)
Joe, Graham,

and myself have now

chosen the three top dishes
that we'd like to taste.

First one,

we actually thought
that this individual

was a one-trick pony,

but they went out
of their comfort zone.

They did something
they've never done before

in this competition.

Congratulations...
Frank.

[Applause]
Good job.

Frank's dish
looks obnoxiously perfect.

I'm like,
"really, Frank?"

So what is the dish?

So on this side,
you have the strip side,

and then you have
the tenderloin.

Smart.

And then I made a slaw
with grilled corn and cabbage.

And then the sauce,

I de-glazed the pan
with the peaches,

and then, at the end, I put
the tarragon and sour cream.

(Gordon) Great sear on the t-bone.

Mmm.

You've now reaffirmed your
position in this competition.

That's a bloody good dish.

Well done. Really good.
Thank you.

Only thing that I would do more
is just a touch more acid.

But everything else
is pretty spot-on.

Good job.
Thank you so much, Graham.

It looks like
and tastes like, to me,

you had the whole Masterchef
pantry at your disposal,

so I think that is the biggest
compliment I can pay you.

I appreciate it, man.
That's huge.

Good job, Frank.
Thank you, guys.

(Gordon)
Really good job.

The second home cook that
made it into the top three...

Excited to try it.

Becky's ego is getting
larger by the day.

So if Becky's name gets called,
I'm going to vomit completely.

(Graham) At the end of the
day, it was aeautiful dish,

and that dish
belongs to... Tanya.

(Gordon)
Well done.

I'm like, "what?
Tanya? Me?"

It took me a second
to be like, huh,

like, go, walk,
pick up your plate.

(Graham)
Tell me all about it.

All right,
well, um...

I started off
by marinating my steak

in some tarragon, olive oil,
cayenne, salt, and pepper.

Mm-hmm.
I slow-braised my cabbage.

And then I boiled my corn,
pureed it,

and added some sour cream

to kind of make it into
a creamy sauce with some chili.

So this is your first time
in the top three

with the mystery box.
Yes, it is.

Based on this,
I'm guessing

it's not gonna be the last.
[Gasps]

Thank you.

You keep
cooking like that

and seasoning,
then you're gonna go far.

It's awesome.
Oh! Thank you!

$15,

and you've turned it
into something worth $40.

Great job.
Really well done.

Thank you.
[Applause]

[Sighs]
Oh, my God.

(Joe) We'll be tasting
just one more dish.

And this next home cook
didn't go

the obvious way
with the ingredients.

(Becky) Felix made this amazing
roulade right in front of me,

and I'm just hoping that
they're not talking about her.

I'm just praying that
they're gonna call my name.

(Joe) In the top three, it's...

Becky.

[Sighs]

(Tali)
Aw, come on, man.

What the hell are
these judges, you know,

basing this on?

(Felix)
Becky drives me crazy,

but damn, she's good.

So obviously
I did dessert.

I made a little
peaches and cream puree,

and then I also did
a sugared tarragon leaf,

and then
I oven-roasted the peach

with a little bit
of caramel sauce.

[Exhales heavily]

What's difficult
to do with fruits and dessert

is maintain
the inherent acidity.

It's very easy to get
too sweet and too concentrated,

but your cook on the peach
is really top-notch.

You went out of the mystery box,
and it paid off big-time.

[Whispers]
Thank you.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

It's beautiful
because of its simplicity.

So I think it's important
for everybody here

to realize how much plating
can elevate your dish.

Thank you so much.

(Gordon)
Great job.

Okay, well done,
all three of you.

Three outstanding dishes.
Incredible.

(Frank) I really need to win this.

I really wanna get that
advantage on the next challenge.

I'm definitely not
a one-trick pony.

(Tanya) I've had more
lows than highs.

I've never shined.
I've never been

at the top of anything
in this competition so far.

I want to win.

(Becky) I know that I'm
good enough to win this.

My dish is
the best dish,

so I want to win today
so badly, so badly.

The person that will have
a huge advantage

in the next stage
of this competition,

that dish belongs to...

(narrator) In this
challenge, our home cooks

had to turn $15 of fresh steak
from Walmart

into a dish the judges
could charge $40 for.

(Gordon) The person that
will have a huge advantage

in the next stage
of this competition...

Well done...

Tanya.
[Gasps]

What just happened?
I won a steak challenge?

Me, Persian curry lady, won?

(Gordon) Frank, Becky,
congratulations.

Tanya, come with us.
Good job.

Thank you so much.

(Gordon)
Well done, well done, well done,

and also, it had
such great finesse.

That's twice.

Always the bridesmaid,
never the bride.

(Anna)
Poor Becky.

She's so talented,
but it's a little annoying.

You're like,
"just take it.

Take it like a man.
Come on."

(Gordon)
Welcome.

(Narrator) As the winner of
the mystery box challenge,

Tanya enters
the master chef pantry...

Awesome.

(Narrator) Where she is now in
control of the elimination test.

The theme of today's
elimination test is

our favorite desserts.

Wow.
I love dessert.

My favorite dessert is
a classic Italian favorite.

It literally means
"pick me up."

Tiramisu!

[Giggling]
Yes, you guessed it.

Tiramisu.
That looks awesome.

Layers of ladyfingers soaked
in espresso and liqueurs,

mascarpone cheese,
and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Yum.
My favorite dessert

is an all-American classic,

strawberry shortcake.
Ohhh.

It's a perfect combination
of crumbly cake,

fresh fruit,
and Fluffy whipped cream.

Clearly the easiest.
And lastly,

my favorite dessert,

an amazing, delicious,
very technical

British trifle.

Oh, God.

Trifles are phenomenal.

Deceptively simple-looking,
but it is complex.

Today, all three
will be served.

Oh, wow.

There are two more
things you should know.

First,
you won't be cooking,

so you're safe
from elimination.

(Gordon)
Congratulations.

That's big.
That's awesome.

Second, you get to choose
which of them makes what.

Oh, my God.

You are going
to tell us

which four of
your opponents

are going to make Joe's
Italian classic, tiramisu,

which four are going
to be making

Graham's stunning
strawberry shortcake,

and which four
are going to make

this very
technical trifle.

But listen,
Graham, Joe, and I

will select the worst
in each category...

That's the bottom three?

One of those
three home cooks

will be eliminated
from Masterchef.

What... in the tamale
am I gonna do?

(Gordon)
You have to think cleverly

to absolutely nail your fellow
competitors to the wall.

So tell me,
who makes

complex, technical,
or something simple?

Oh, gosh.

Oh, who...
Oh.

(Gordon) Tanya, make your way
up to the balcony, please.

Thank you.
Good luck, guys.

(Gordon) That's right, Tanya is safe.

She will not be in
this elimination test tonight.

(Monti) I think Tanya feels
guilty about whatever decisions

she just made, which
makes me feel like, "oh, man",

something's about to go down,
and it's gonna be ugly."

The theme of tonight's
elimination challenge is

our favorite dessert.

Oh, gosh.
[Sighs]

(Scott) I messed up the apple pie.

Now they want us to cook
their favorite dessert.

I'm terrified,
absolutely terrified.

Il mio dolce preferito...

My favorite dessert...

Tiramisu.

My personal favorite...
Strawberry shortcake.

And my favorite dessert
is trifle.

What the hell
is a trifle?

Tanya's huge
advantage is

that she has chosen
who will make what dessert.

[Bleep].

Tanya... have I
been friendly to her?

I think I've been
good to her.

We will select
the worst-tasting tiramisu,

the worst-tasting
strawberry shortcake,

the worst-tasting trifle,
and out of those three,

one of you will be leaving
the Masterchef kitchen.

Holy huge advantage
to the uppermost, Batman.

Not only does Tanya
get to choose

what we each have to bake,

she gets to choose
who we're competing against.

Are you all ready
to go into the pantry

and find out which dessert
Tanya chose for you?

(All)
Yes, chef.

(Graham) All right, you guys
have sixty minutes to make

our favorite desserts.

Your time...
Starts now.

Off you go.

Oof!
Damn shoes!

God, I knew it.

(Josh) I see my name
by the trifle bowl...

Yes.

Up against Stacey,
Becky, and Monti,

and I'm like,
"oh, [Bleep].

I'm gonna be in
the bottom three today."

(Scott) Boom! I got
strawberry shortcake.

Thank you, Tanya.

I love this cake!
Sweet.

Tali's going
to have a comeback.

I feel so good
right now.

There's no way
I could screw up.

[Gasps]
[Bleep] Yeah.

Tanya chooses me
to cook tiramisu.

So I'm competing
against Frank, Anna, and Felix.

They are the strongest cooks
still left in this competition.

[Raspberries]

[Dramatic music]

Let's go.

I'm really excited about this.
I mean, trifle,

Becky, Stacey,
Monti, and Josh.

So it's only four of them
in that little mini-contest.

Yeah, I want
to make a trifle.

Why not?
Let's make it, let's do it.

So for strawberry shortcake,
we've got

Tali, Scott,
Mike, and Christine.

Tanya chose
strawberry shortcake for me,

and I think,
out of the three,

that's probably,
technically,

one of the easier ones
to work with,

so thank you, Tanya.

(Tanya) I gave Mike
strawberry shortcake

because he's
a friend of mine,

and he's from the South.
That's what they eat.

And I know
he can rock it.

But I'll take him
down later.

Team tiramisu is
a very competitive group.

You have David, Anna, Felix,
and then you have Frank.

It would be pretty tough
to get sent home

on the back of a tiramisu,

but I don't think it's gonna
happen today, my friend.

Where could it go wrong?

Well, the perfect tiramisu...

As much as it's
a sweet dessert,

it's about acidity

because the espresso
has acidity,

and the cocoa powder has
bitterness and acidity too,

so it's the contrast
of sweet and rich

and acid and light.

How we doing, Felix?
Good.

Were you not gonna
put it in a form?

How you gonna make it?
On a plate,

kind of more free-form.
Wow.

That's risky.
One in four

go to
the bottom three.

Anyone could
go home today,

and you're in
a competitive group.

I'm not
going home today.

How's it going, David?

I think it's
going pretty well.

Is that
your cream there?

Yes, that's
my tiramisu cream.

Are you happy
with that?

I am happy with
the way it came out.

What should it
taste like?

Mascarpone...

It's, like, a little sweet
but a little sour.

Does this taste like
what you just described to me?

I mean, you have managed
to take mascarpone,

which is, like,
a light, delicate cheese,

and turn it
into cream cheese.

(Narrator) The theme of
this elimination challenge

is the judges'
favorite desserts.

(Joe)
Complex tiramisu.

(Graham)
Simple strawberry shortcake.

(Gordon)
Technical British trifle.

(Narrator)
For winning the mystery box,

Tanya got to pick
which dessert

each home cook
would have to make.

So trifle:

Becky, Stacey,
Monti, and Josh.

So you're making
a lot of components.

You have custard,
chantilly cream,

sponge cake,
gelatin.

You've got to make them all
and then compose it.

But it's a lot of tasks
for the cook.

It's a lot
of technique.

Tanya's definitely not
as sweet as she usually is.

She put me up against
three other tough competitors.

I don't even know
what's gotten into her.

(Becky) Stacey, please, are
you using all your jell-o?

Yes.
Your gelatin?

I didn't get a [Bleep]...
Okay.

(Stacey) Get out of my way, Becky.

I didn't come here
to make friends.

I am ready to be the top dog
in this competition.

All right, Becky,
you look intimidated,

yet every competitor
in this competition

is more scared of you.

I mean, are you
feeling vulnerable?

I'm feeling
a bit vulnerable

because there's
so many elements.

Where is the jelly?

Uh, well, this was
supposed to be it.

However, I didn't get
enough sheets of gelatin.

Becky is known
as the dessert girl,

and so I gave her
the trifle.

Because I know
she's my fiercest competitor.

Monti,
where's the sponge?

The sponge?

Gordon tells me that
you need sponge.

I don't even know what
he means by that.

He talks in this language
that I don't

entirely understand
sometimes.

The bottom bit, yeah,
the bit with the liquor

where's the sponge?
Oh, [Bleep].

What do you mean,
"[Bleep]"?

Gordon says,
"you need sponge,"

and somehow that
computes in my mind

into "oh,
I need ladyfingers."

Does anyone have extra
ladyfingers I could borrow?

What?

Does anyone have extra
ladyfingers I could borrow?

Thank you, sir.

Strawberry shortcake...
Easy, delicious americana.

We've got Tali, Scott,
Mike, and Christine.

End of the day,
that shortbread

has to be crumbly
but a little aerated,

and the strawberries
with a little bit of sugar,

kind of whipped down,
make it a simple syrup,

and then the whipped cream
and the chantilly.

You know, definitely
the most simple dessert

that we have today.

And who do you think
will struggle?

I think that
Tali is gonna struggle.

He always has a way of making
himself his own worst enemy.

I'm making
a strawberry air.

It's pretty much
just gonna be

just, like, a really
cool bubble bath.

Scotty, what do you got?
Hey.

Shortcake, my friend,
your favorite.

How much did you
work this dough?

I actually kneaded it
pretty decently, I thought.

But remember,
you want this to be flaky.

You want it
kind of incorporated,

just like
that pie dough.

I hope that you
didn't over-knead it,

'cause it's starting to look
like a little pasta dough.

I gave Scott
a strawberry shortcake

because it's so easy.

He's had some troubles
with dessert in the past,

but I'm worried
for Scotty.

(Gordon)
Last ten minutes.

Start assembling
your desserts.

Look, Monti's cream's
on fire.

Monti!

Monti!

Yes, sir?

Get a cloth.
Oh, [Bleep].

Don't... no, no,
not with your hands.

How can you...
Let go.

How do you set fire
to a [Bleep] trifle?

That's a first for me.

I'm looking to impress, sir,
i'm looking to impress.

Monti is all
over the place.

I don't even know
where to start with her.

Do you have
any flour, David?

(Josh) I don't know
anybody that could

start a fire
making a trifle bowl.

How do you
burn a trifle bowl?

This challenge has
set the cat among the pigeons.

How's the trifle crowd?
A disaster.

(Gordon) I mean, honestly,
nobody's jelly is set,

they haven't finished
the pastry cream,

and they haven't even started
to think of the decoration.

(Graham)
How about the tiramisu?

I was worried about David
and Felix, and rightfully so.

Felix, she's doing, like,
a free-form construction.

Plated tiramisu,
which you rarely see,

but you never know,
she could pull it off.

What I've seen,

Scott overworked
his dough.

His shortcakes are like...
Almost like little hockey pucks.

(Joe)
No good.

Mike won't stop

decorating
his bloody shortcake.

He's going over the top.
Yeah.

The only thing
he hasn't done

is pile cream
underneath the plate.

30 seconds to go.
Come on. Last touches.

(Graham)
Looks like Frank's eating his.

Hey, Frank,
leave some for us.

(Frank)
I got plenty for you, Joe.

(Gordon) Five, four, three, two, one,

and stop,
everybody.

[Applause]

(Gordon) So the theme
of tonight's challenge

was to re-create
our favorite desserts.

The worst in each category
will face elimination.

Let's see
how they taste.

(Joe)
So let's begin with tiramisu.

Okay, Felix.

(David)
Felix's tiramisu

looks like
a sopping, blatant mess.

She could be going home
on this one.

Felix, you don't
look happy.

It looks
like [Bleep], man, I...

That's true.

You saw the standard.
We put it up there.

We asked you to execute it,
and you come back with this.

It's so disappointing.

If it's bad,
you will go home.

Why did you put
nuts in here?

I like Mac nuts.

Macadamia nuts?

In an Italian tiramisu?

Are you not understanding
what we're doing here?

I'm sorry you
have to eat this.

Well, it's not
even eating it.

It's looking at it.

You show, like, more finesse
than anyone in the kitchen.

Like, things are beautiful,
and, like, that's not you.

Come on.

And it's, like,
the smallest plate possible,

with it, like,
almost falling off the side.

I mean, I'm not trying
to hurt your feelings,

but you know that.
No, I know, I know, I know.

It's terrible.

I just want to fling it
off the balcony.

Hmm.

Way too sweet,
macadamia nuts... nothing,

and it looks
as sad as you do

because it is a mess.

Alcohol all
over the place,

cream on
the verge of splitting,

it's just like
sweet on sweet on sweet,

and it's just mush.
I mean, quite honestly,

your worst performance
in Masterchef.

[Crying]

It looks dreadful.

(Narrator) In tonight's
elimination challenge,

the remaining home cooks
made three

of the judges'
favorite desserts.

It is a mess.
It's just mush.

(Narrator)
But Felix's tiramisu

turned a favorite
into a failure.

I mean,
quite honestly,

your worst performance
in Masterchef.

[Crying]

(Scott) I've been there.
I feel horrible for her.

That's a place I wouldn't
wish my worst enemy,

to go up in front
of those three

doing a dish
that's executed poorly.

It's heartbreaking.

(Joe)
Anna.

Come on up.

You did a good job
with your layering.

As you can see inside,

it kind of goes
all the way through,

and you have your ladyfingers,
your cream,

and your ladyfingers.

That's balanced and acidic,
and it's great.

Good job.
Thank you.

Next for the tiramisu
is Frank.

(Graham) It's really pretty. Thanks.

It's like a sweet, little lasagna.
Yeah.

Super balanced.
You did the ladyfingers justice.

Right? You soaked 'em
not too much.

The layers are there.
Beautiful.

Thank you.
Thank you.

We'd like to taste
the tiramisu

from David Martinez.

(David) I think Tanya threw me
under a train at this point.

And there I lay, starfished,
ready for the train to come.

I mixed my mascarpone
with Brandy and marsala wine,

and I topped it
with hazelnuts.

David, you go to Italy,
and you sprinkle

hazelnuts on tiramisu...
Mm.

They'll [Bleep] shoot you.

The whole idea of tiramisu
means "pick me up."

You've just put me down.

Great shame.

This is the first time
I've ever made a tiramisu.

That's pretty apparent.

What's all this watery stuff
around here?

Uh, I believe I over-soaked
my ladyfingers.

Looks kinda gross.

I apologize for that.

Based on what I'm tasting,
I wish I could send

you and Felix home.

Because this is really,
really off-target.

Tanya, what did you do
to them? Brutal.

Next up, Josh, please.
Thank you.

(Josh) A strawberry and
raspberry reduction I did

with some blood orange juice
and some amaretto.

And then I also did
a banana cream.

Tastes like a banana split.

Thank you.

It's not supposed to be
a banana split.

This is like a bowl
full of cream

with bananas in it.

There's, like, no fruit.

It doesn't have the beautiful,
even layers.

It's all over the place,
you know, and being able

to scoop down,
come up with the spoon

and see
all the craftsmanship,

but also
when you taste it,

getting a little bit
of all that together evenly...

That's what you have
to work on here.

(Gordon)
Okay... Monti.

Right. What is that
little thing?

(Monti) Raspberry gelatin
with raspberries,

with raspberry liqueur.

With 29 minutes to go,
you hadn't even had anything

in the bowl.

It is delicious.
It was very nice.

I would want to eat more.
I need more sponge. Okay.

Good job. And stop
being so nervous!

Thank you, sir.

Okay, next up.

Stacey, let's go, please.
Thank you.

(Stacey) This is Italian trifle, yes.
What does that mean?

That means that I made
a strawberry preserve,

using a little bit
of balsamic vinegar.

You put balsamic vinegar
in a trifle?

I did.

I made a lemon curd

and folded in some mascarpone

and then a little bit
of toasted almond on the top.

It's delicious. Really good, indeed.
Thank you. Thank you.

Smart, bold move. Great job.
Thank you.

Well done.

All kinds of goodies.

Super balanced.

The layers are there.

I do miss the sprinkles
though.

Yeah?
I think they're cute.

Yeah. And I think it's
definitely delicious.

Thank you.
Thank you.

(Stacey)
The judges didn't say

you can't take
a little twist,

so I went ahead and took
some creative license on it

and just went my own direction,
trusting my palette.

Becky, let's go, please.
Thank you.

(Josh)
Becky's walking up with hers,

and, as usual,
hers looks stunning.

And I'm just facing
the bottom three

for the trifle bowl.

(Becky) So I made a raspberry
and orange liqueur gel

with orange flower water.

And then I also did a custard

with lemongrass
and vanilla bean

and then the whipped
chantilly cream with star anise.

Did you have a strategy
in presenting us

with such dissonant
flavors?

Uh, no.
Certainly not.

I mean, I tasted it
at your bench,

and I thought that
the star anise was certainly

a very strange pick.

It's gross.

Whereas Stacey's dish is
kind of like a symphony

in balance and elegance,

this is a cacophony
of dissonant flavors

that make absolutely
no sense... complete excess.

And quite frankly,
an embarrassing dish

that I wouldn't even
recommend eating.

I don't think that's edible.

You've got so many
strong flavors in there.

It's almost like
this little mouthwash.

I think Tanya
played this one

absolutely right.

Is that candied
orange peel on top?

I think I was just paying
too much attention to try

to do everything
from scratch.

Becky, you we're trying
to show off,

and it bit you
in the ass.

In all honesty, I don't know
if it was Tanya's intent

to knock you out
of the competition

and send you home,

but there's a strong
possibility that...

That's what she might
have just done.

In all honesty, I don't know
if it was Tanya's intent

to knock you out
of the competition

and send you home,

but there's a strong
possibility that...

That's what she might
have just done.

(Graham)
All right, so the first

strawberry shortcake
that I would like to see

belongs to cowboy Mike.

[Sighs]

[Clears throat]

Looks like you went out
and shot this thing

and dragged it back
to the plate.

I had to put something
on the plate

that showed a little bit
of plating skill, so I went big.

I mean, I'm tired of being
in the middle.

Interesting design.

So I mean, have you seen
what a winning plate

looks like in this competition?
I have.

Does it look closer
to a winning plate

or a go-home plate?

It looks a little closer
to a go-home plate.

Poorly executed,
un-thoughtful,

and over-elaborated.

Christine.

(Gordon) Christine, not a
big fan of strawberries?

No, I like strawberries,
but I really wanted to just

try to be a little bit
more creative

and go a different way.

Because I feel like I usually
stay within a comfort zone.

The shortbread itself...
Delicious.

Light, aerated.

Thank you, chef.

However, strawberry shortcake

is a classic for a reason.

Not -blackberry,
not raspberry shortcake.

So I'm struggling
to find the strawberries.

Tali.

Tell me what you did.

I made a little strawberry foam.
Uh-huh.

Charged it with the two
N20 cartridges. Right.

And I...

This is really good.
Oh, thank God.

The shortcake, it's got
a little bit of sweetness.

I like the strawberry foam.

It actually gives it
a nice, concentrated flavor.

As far as plating
and the dish as a whole,

this is one of your best.
Thank you very much.

Good job.
Thank you.

Last but not least, Scott.

(Gordon) Scott, when are
you gonna burst out

and start nailing this?

I have tried my damnedest.

So the texture...

With the fork
going through shortcake...

It's doughy.
It should be flaky.

I probably over-kneaded it

because I'm used
to making pasta.

And at this stage
of the competition,

I expect those strawberries
to be glazed.

I thought this one
was gonna come out

like the shiny star.

Scott...
Dear, oh, dear.

Over-dense.
The whipped cream's too sweet.

This dish might have
lassoed cowboy Mike

out of the exit door.

But that's about it.

Scotty and I are
very good friends,

and I know he's one
of the few people here

that I will be friends with
for a long time.

I hate that he's the one
I have to beat.

But you know what?
Better him than me.

We need a minute.

Have a chat
amongst yourselves.

We'll be back.

(Joe) I thought we
were gonna get, like,

all pretty good,
decent desserts.

(Graham) I mean, in all
honesty, Tali's looked prettier

than anyone else's dessert
out there.

(Gordon) Becky... what
was she doing there?

Yeah, I don't know.
That was gross.

Joe spit out my food.

Becky saved my ass.

I was trying to do
too much stuff.

I should've just been like...
No, no, no, no.

I don't think anyone thinks
you were trying to screw them.

I know they do.
I know Becky does.

I mean, wanted to give her
something challenging.

It's a competition.

[Sighs]

The worst
in each category

will be up
for elimination tonight.

But we all agreed

that there was one
standout dish

that took a risk
and made it work.

Congratulations...
Stacey.

Great job.
[Applause]

(Stacey) Thank you, chef. Well done.

It is the top three moments,
probably, of my life.

Falling in love
with my husband,

jumping out of an airplane,

and Gordon Ramsay
loving my trifle.

(Gordon) Great job.

Thank you, chef.

As you know, this is
an elimination test,

and at least one person
will be leaving Masterchef.

Joe, who had the worst
tiramisu, please?

The person who will be
in the bottom three

from the tiramisu is...

Felix.

(Felix) I do not want
to get sent home.

I'm better than
the tiramisu.

I feel like I have
so much more to show.

(Gordon)
Graham.

Who had the worst
strawberry shortcake?

The absolute bottom
of the barrel

belonged to Scott.
Yeah.

(Mike) I'm still in the competition.
Whew.

For me...

There were two
below-par trifles.

(Joe) I know damn well
they're not gonna call me

because Joe definitely didn't
spit my trifle out.

But the worst trifle tonight
belongs to Becky.

Becky...
Step forward, please.

The combinations between
all those flavorings

it's like you got,
I suppose,

carried away with the hype.

It was wrong
in every aspect.

Your saving grace is

there's two worse dishes
than yours.

Back to your station.

Thank...
Thank you so much.

Felix...

Step forward, please.

You have a future
in food.

You're a natural
in the kitchen.

You've come a long way
in this competition,

and the journey has been
extraordinary.

Felix...

It's time to say good-bye...

To Scott...

And get back
to your station.

Good luck, baby.

Scott... big heart.
Unselfish attitude.

You have to continue
your food dream.

Thank you. Thank you all.
It's been an honor.

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

Thank you, chef.
Well done.

The best think I'm gonna
take away from the competition

is the experience from it.
Good job, bud.

(Scott) I learned so much
from those three gentlemen

and also
my fellow competitors.

I'm absolutely
walking away a winner.

I'm just not winning
Masterchef.

But what it did is
it got me honed in,

and now I can actually
keep on winning in my own life.

And I plan to do that.

(Narrator) Next week on Masterchef...
[Horn honks]

The home cooks
take to the road

for an epic food truck
challenge.

[All cheering]

And with Stacey
in the driver's seat...

Who is your dream team?

(Narrator) Some team
members crash and burn.

Get the burgers on, David.

Just cook it.

Do I look like superman
to anybody?

(Narrator) And when the pressure
test proves too much to handle...

Ugh!

(Narrator) One more
Masterchef dream will end.

You think you're
going home now?
