Gordon: This season
on "masterchef junior,"

We open the doors
to 12 new young cooks...

- Welcome, guys!
- This is a dream.

- ...And one new judge.
- Who?

My daughter tilly ramsay!
Come on, guys!

It's a season full
of magic...

( squealing )

Weren't you just a duck?

Miss daphne
made this time machine.

- You could go back in time.
- Bye, guys.

- Bye!
- Okay. Uh...

( whirring )

Oh, my gosh!

- I told you this
was a bad idea.
- Activate!

...With plenty
of action-packed fun...

Let's welcome
the harlem globetrotters!

( cheering )

It's seaweed!

That was the best thing
I've seen all day.

...And some
startling surprises...

- Oh, no!
- This is disgusting.

- Aah!
- Oh, my gosh!

- Gummy bears on a shrimp?
- My favorite!

- You can make noodles fly?
- Yes.

- How old are you again?
- 11 years old.

This looks better
than half the dishes

- That come out
of my dad's restaurant.
- Burn.

...And some
of the most talented
junior cooks we've ever seen.

- Chow down.
- You have absolutely
knocked it out of the park.

- Thank you.
- Next-level delicious.

- It looks like a piece of art.
- Thank you.

For you to have that
understanding at your age
is so impressive.

I've fallen in love
with this dish.

Incredible creativity.
Well done.

This dish is phenomenal.

- Get it up there!
- ( cheering )

But it's not all
fun and games.

- ( whimpering )
- bryson, you okay?

- I burned myself.
- Oh, my gosh.

I know you're one of
the top kids in here, okay?

You cook these steaks,
you take them all the way
to that finish line.

- Yes, chef.
- Both hands on there.
Come on, let's go.

- Globetrotters are here.
- 45 seconds, guys.

- Uh-oh.
- This is so stressful!

We're heading for a little bit
of a disaster.

- This one's burnt, I think.
- Here. No, it's fine.

- Help, help, michael.
- Hot oven!

- Oh, my god.
- I'm a bit scared.

- No!
- Have we given up?

- No, chef!
- Come on, then, guys.
Let's go!

But only one home cook
will take home the title...

- You're gonna be unstoppable.
- Yes!

- ...The trophy...
- Whoo!

This is gonna be
a real fight to the finish.

...And $100,000.

The suspense is real.

Is everybody ready for this?

Yes, chef!

This is "masterchef junior."

- Are you sure you're eight?
- Yeah.

Here we go.
It's so nice to be back.

- Look at this.
- Exciting!

Oh, my goodness, me.
How cool is this?

Daphne:
Look at this place.

I always get so excited
for a brand-new season.

What an amazing journey
these 12 are about to start.

Here they come.
Welcome, guys!

- Oh, my god!
- Come on down!

- Am I dreaming?
- No!

- Come on!
- Why are there emojis?

- Oh, my god, look at that.
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!

Jordyn:
It feels, like, amazing.

Like I'm in the best kitchen
in the world!

Hello. Welcome.

Remy:
I can't believe I'm seeing
gordon ramsay right now.

And I feel so good
that gordon ramsay's gonna
taste my food.

I beat out so many other kids,
and it's so exciting.

- This is so cool.
- Welcome to
"masterchef junior."

Yeah!

As you can see,
there are a lot of smiling
faces here tonight.

Come on, seriously.
Happy to be here?

Yes!

You are the 12 best
young home cooks
in the country.

And one of you 12
will be crowned

America's next
masterchef junior!

( cheering )

You'll also get to take home
this "masterchef junior" trophy.

( vocalizing )

And one of you
is gonna be walking away

- With a cool $100,000.
- Wow.

What?

Lydia: I wanna win
masterchef so bad.

If I win $100,000,
I'm getting a new go-kart

And then I'm gonna
buy a horse.

Am I dreaming right now?

Wow. $100,000.
I could buy lamborghinis,

Take my mom to alaska,

And take over
gordon ramsay's job.

But I feel like
he's gonna be mad at me
for taking his job.

Now, listen up.
This is gonna be
our toughest season yet.

So tough, we've brought
in another judge

- To keep a closer eye
on all of you.
- No way!

Come on in!

- Oh, my...
- Oh!

- What?
- Whoa.

- Who is that?
- It's an emoji face!

- An emoji face?
- Tell us!

- Shall we introduce
our new judge?
- Yes!

Here's a clue.
It's a young lady
who knows all about food...

( gasps )

And she always brings
a big smile to my face.

- That is, when she behaves.
- ( laughter )

- You guys ready?
- Yes!

- The suspense is real!
- Tilly!

Hey, guys!

That's right,
it's my daughter tilly ramsay!

Come on, guys!

It's tilly!

I'm excited to see tilly

Because she's a really,
really good cook,

And I think she's just gonna be,
like, the nicest judge.

She's definitely
nicer than gordon.
I'll definitely say that.

By the way, dad, you're the one
that needs to behave.

- Amy I right kids? Yeah.
- Yes!

No one's a donut
or an idiot sandwich here, okay?

- To your own daughter?
- Wow.

- That's just bad.
- So, shall we kick things off?

- Yes!
- With these...

- ...Awesome emoji cookies!
- Yeah!

Daphne:
Tilly is going to walk around

And give each of you
an emoji cookie.

Wait, so you guys know
what emojis represent, right?

- Feelings!
- Emotions!

- Emotions!
- Your emotions, your feelings.

So tonight, guys,
we want you to make a dish

That represents the emotion
behind your emoji cookie.

So take a good look
at that cookie.

How does it make you feel?

- Happy.
- Happy?

- Silly!
- Silly.

- Savage.
- Savage. Savage. Nice.

Think about that emotion
and how you can translate
that into a dish.

- Okay.
- Hold on, aren't
we missing something?

- Aprons!
- Aarón, the aprons.

I got you.
Check it out.

( grunting )

Smiley face activate!

( cheering )

( laughter )

Gordon:
Grab your aprons, guys.

It feels amazing to wear
an apron with my name on it.

I'm definitely gonna show
this off to my brother

And he's gonna
be really jealous.

- Guys, you will have
one hour...
- Oh, no.

...To make us a
restaurant quality
masterchef-worthy dish

That represents
the emoji cookie that you chose.

Now, listen carefully,
because whoever cooks
the best dish,

Not only will they be safe
from elimination,

But they'll also win
an incredible prize--

An amazing trip to las vegas.

Yeah!

But at the end
of this challenge,

Unfortunately, one of you
will be going home.

Oh, no.

- Is everyone ready?
- Yes!

Your 60 minutes start...

- ...Now.
- Let's go.

- You got this, guys!
- You've got this.

- Be careful.
- Careful.

Wow, some fast
sprinters in there.

Get the baskets,
get the baskets!

This pantry is awesome!

I love it.
There's so many amazing things

That you can, like,
create amazing dishes with.

I'm asher,
I'm eight years old,

And I started cooking
when I was two years old.

Oh, my gosh.
Look at that.

My cooking style
is global fusion,

And my superpower is making
a steak to perfect medium rare.

Where are the lemons?

So I'm gonna make
my surf 'n' turf

With a brown butter
barbecue vinaigrette.

I got the happy emoji.
Just making this makes me happy.

( squeaks )

That's hard.

I'm kristell,
I'm 10 years old,

And I'm from austin, texas.

Most of my life
I've lived in mexico,

So I'm gonna make
mexican empanadas.

I got the heart emoji,

And every time
when I have a family reunion,

I always make
the mexican empanadas,

And I love making them
with love.

- Can you help me
open this, please?
- Yeah.

Sugar, ketchup.

Let's go, guys.
How exciting is this?

They are pumped.
The juniors are back inside
the masterchef kitchen.

- The buzz is real right now.
- So, this challenge tonight

Is all about representing
emotion through their dish.

I think what we really want
to see is, um, you know,

Telling a personal story
through their food.

- What does that emoji
mean for them?
- Sure. Absolutely.

- Frick, frick, frick.
- I need a kettle.

- Remy, open your eyes, girl.
- Oh, never mind.

- Alfred, you need any help?
- No.

- Michael!
- What's up?

- You good?
- Yeah, what you making?

A ribeye cap
with a truffle potato
and broccolini.

- Nice.
- A little bit more
of our cheese.

Woohoo!

I'm bryson,
I'm 11 years old,

But everybody calls me
cheese curd.

In my opinion,
there's nothing better
than cheese.

I have to enter
cheese curd mode. Come on.

So, my dad, he used
to live in wisconsin,

And he was known
as papa cheese.

Then I got
the nickname cheese curd
'cause I'm his mini-me.

Whoo.

He is a barbecue grill master

And I've been competing
for two and a half years now,

And everywhere I've gone,
I've placed in the top five,

And not a lot
of 11-year-olds
can say that.

I'll check on those real fast.
Oh, yeah. Yep, not done yet.

Winning this challenge
is very important for me

Because me and my dad,
we make steaks a lot,

And I do not
want to let him down.

Guys, 10 minutes gone,
50 minutes to go.

Come on, speed up.

- Whoo.
- Oh, broccolini! Aah!

- Where are you going?
What'd you forget?
- Broccolini!

- Oh, go, go, go.
- It's a little stressful
going in and cooking

In a masterchef kitchen
in front of chef ramsay,

In front of
the whole entire world
that will be watching.

Sometimes my nerves
get the best of me.

I might have the cool emoji,
but I'm feeling...

( sighs )

15 minutes gone.
We've got 45 minutes to go.

- ( gasps )
- we got this, guys!

Oh, no!

- What do you need?
- Carrots!

Carrots?

Wow, "masterchef junior."

Come on, seriously,
how cool is this?

You know,
I've got four little kids.

They love being
in the kitchen with me.

But it is nothing like cooking
with the clock overhead.

- It is so intense.
- Aarón: Yeah,

And if all those
circumstances weren't enough,

They have the task
of connecting their emoji

That they received with the dish
that they're making.

Let's get in there, shall we?
Let's go.

- Remy! Remy,
remy, remy. We good?
- Yeah. Perfect.

Um, remy, how does this dish
relate to your cookie?

I got the cool cookie.
We're from florida and it's
always sunny over there,

So I'm making
sunshine state on a plate.

It's lemon-roasted chicken
with carrots and mushrooms.

And of course
I had to add mashed potatoes

Because potatoes
are my soulmate. Love it.

And first big memory of food,
was it with mom, dad, grandma?

- Who was it?
- Grandma.

You might want to add
a little more sour cream

And then maybe let
baby laura take a turn.

My name is remy.
I'm 10 years old.

I've been cooking
my whole life.

Now let's mix.

The person who taught me
how to cook is my grandma.

We have fun cooking together.
She's, like, my bestie.

Pulse.

I think I'm gonna win
this competition.

And I'm not here to play,
I'm here to slay.

And do my dance.
Yeah, like that. Spatula.

It looks incredible.
You've got these chicken thighs.

Is there any seasoning
on top of there, remy?

Earth to remy.
Earth to remy.

Let me try it this way.
Let me try it this way.

- Oh, what's happening?
- Oh, dear.

Earth to remy.
Earth to remy.

- Give me an s.
- S.

- Give me an a.
- A.

- Give me an l.
- L.

- Give me a t.
- T.

- What have we got?
- Salt!

Use it, girl!

Oh, remy, I'm sorry about him.
He's very distracting.

- Okay.
- I just needed a cutting board.

Right, make sure you cook
that chicken, okay?

'cause they're big thighs.
They just don't cook
in 15 minutes, okay?

- Good luck.
- Go on, remy.

All right.
Michael, what's happening?

I'm making
flippin' shrimp pesto.

I've got the cool emoji,
and so I'm from florida

And I believe that fishing
is a really cool thing.

Me and my dad do it a lot.

We flip shrimp
over the side of the boat.

I didn't realize
that you were actually

Going up to get
the shrimp yourself.

- That's amazing.
You're only how old?
- 11 years old.

Love that. So, what's
your process from here?

Get my linguini boiling.
Once I have four minutes left,
put shrimp on.

He's cool
as a cucumber over here.

All right, keep cooking,
michael. I like it.

- Aarón: Good luck.
- Yes.

- Go down!
- Lilo!

- Hi.
- I heard that if you had
your own restaurant one day,

Everyone has to wear
a bow like you.

( in english accent )
if you want to talk to me,
you have to put it on.

Even in the accent?
Would you like some help?

- Yay!
- Yeah, really?

- That looks amazing.
- So beautiful!

- Seriously?
- So pretty.

- Lilo, come on, girl. Really?
- Why don't you like it?

- It looks amazing.
- I love it, yes.
It's amazing.

I'm lilo.

I'm nine years old
and my dad's a chef

And he owns
an asian fusion restaurant.

My mom also helps out.

But I'm not
quite sure what she does,
but she's pretty bossy.

If I win
the masterchef trophy,

Then my dream
is to open a restaurant

And I can be my mom
and dad's boss.

Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?

I am making
steak flying noodles

Because I got the silly cookie.

But are you crazy, girl?

- Flying noodles?
- Yes!

How are we going to eat them
if they fly away?

- Well, it's a secret.
- It's a secret.

- Right.
- It's a secret not even
gordon ramsay can know.

- I cannot wait to see it.
- Ah, I like that.

So let's get
that steak sizzling.

- And we want a sear, right?
- Yeah.

- You've got this, lilo.
- Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Smells amazing, but...

- Bre, what's shaking, bacon?
- Hello!

I am making
my famous heart burger

Because I got a heart cookie.

And I also put love
into all of my food.

I'm breanna,
and you can call me bre.

I'm 10 years old,

And I am bre the burger queen.

I gotta flip my burger.

I've always wanted to compete
on "masterchef junior"

Because my burgers are fire.

It's-- it's kind of my thing.

Now, you're the burger queen,
is that right?

Yeah. I'm also making
my special sauce.

Can you give us, like,
one ingredient?

- I can't.
- Okay.

So, what else is your dish
gonna have?

In the oven there
is some potatoes.

- Oh!
- Very nice.

They haven't been cooking
very well.

Let's see.
How are they looking?

- Nope.
- All right, bre, you make
sure those potatoes

- Get cooked,
okay, young lady?
- Okay.

And keep an eye
on that burger.

- We don't want that
to overcook.
- Okay.

- All right, good luck.
- A bit more pepper.

- This is fun.
- Gordon: Guys, listen up.

- 30 minutes to go. Halfway.
- ( groans )

Wow, so far, so good.

So, lilo's doing flying noodles.
It sounds really exciting.

It could be overcomplicated,
these flying noodles.

Who knows? Fingers crossed
she'll nail that steak.

Aarón: Michael is doing
a flippin' shrimp pasta dish.

- It has a pesto sauce.
- Daphne: He's really confident.

He knows how to go shrimp
and catch his own.

Okay, okay.
I got it, I got it, I got it.

Daphne:
Bre got the heart-shaped emoji.

She is making us
a burger filled with love.

She has her burger
in the shape of the heart,
has her special sauce on it.

But she did start
her burger really early,

And I'm a little bit nervous
that it will be overcooked.

- Come on, bre.
- Also making some
roasted potatoes,

But her potato slices
are really quite large,

And big cuts of potatoes
are going to take a long time
in the oven.

Right, come on.
Just 20 minutes remaining.

Bre: Oh, shoot.

Potatoes aren't cooking. Oh.

- I'm freaking out.
- What?

My potatoes aren't cooking.

I don't have a bunch of time

And I don't know what to do.

I'm just trying
to hold it together.

Aww, shoot. Aah!

Uh-oh.

- Gordon:
20 minutes remaining.
- Bre: Oh, shoot.

Potatoes aren't cooking. Oh.

I'm freaking out.
My potatoes aren't cooking.

- I have time.
- I think I'm gonna
do green beans,

So if they don't cook well,
then I'll have a backup.

I'm blanching my green beans.

- Uh, jordan,
how you doing, girl?
- Hey, jordan.

- Good.
- Remind me, your age
and where you're from.

I'm eight years old
and I'm from north carolina,
greensboro.

- Nice.
- And I'm also
a pageant girl,

So I'm all fancy
and cute and pretty.

But when I'm in the kitchen,
I'm kind of messy
and having fun and stuff.

Now, tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?

Well, I'm making
pan-seared pork chop.

Now, how does
your pork chop relate to your
love heart cookie?

Because I'm lovely and every
time somebody eats this dish,

- They have the same emoji face.
- I love that.

Is there a sauce
with this dish?

I'm making homemade
barbecue sauce,

So I'm gonna put that
on the pork chop.

- Oh, wow. Is this your recipe?
- Nice.

- Uh, yeah.
- Okay. Okay.

Ketchup, brown sugar,
and "worcher-sire" sauce.

With "woster-shur-shur?"
what, what? What was that?

- "worcher-sire" sauce.
- Oh, tilly, please.

- How would you say it?
- "wooster-sure shauce."

- Jordan, don't listen to him.
- Okay, please.

Right, start thinking
about the presentation, yes?

- Okay, yes.
- Good luck.

Where's my spoon?
Where's my spoon?

Keep on going.
Keep on going.

Ooh! Bryson, what are you
making over here, bud?

So right now
I am making a ribeye cap

- With a compound butter
and white truffle potatoes.
- Aarón: Nice.

- I know you go
by the moniker of--
- cheese curd, yes.

Cheese curd,
so where is the cheese?

- You want to try
some manchego cheese?
- Is that your favorite cheese?

Oh, I love
this manchego cheese.

You know what kind of animal
that comes from?

- Uh, goat.
- Yep. And sheep, too, yep.

You can't mess with him.
He's cool.

All right, and make sure
you're turning your meet,
browning on all sides.

- Do your thing, okay?
- Yes, sir. Boom, baby!

♪ I'm so hungry

Oh, here. Right here.

- Hey, miles.
- Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?

I'm making a pan-seared scallop
with a garlic lemon caper sauce,

Roasted brussels sprouts
with an aioli,

And mashed potatoes.

So, miles, how does your cookie
relate to this dish?

I love seafood and I love
to make it with my family.

That really makes me happy,
and just cooking in general.

That's lovely.

I'm miles,
I am 10 years old,

And I'm from
college station, texas.

I have a little bit
of a difference.

I've got this hand, and then
I don't have another one.

I was born without
part of my arm,

But it doesn't
define me at all.

I've got an elevated palate
and I'm a big foodie.

Now I'm gonna cut the onion.

I use a special cutting board

Because sometimes
when I'm cooking,

Stuff rolls around
while I'm trying to cut it,

And that's not very safe.

I came to "masterchef junior"
because I want to prove

That even if you have
a disability,

You've still got a place
in the kitchen.

Visually, how are you gonna
lift it on the plate?

What I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna make a smiley face

- Out of my dish.
- Matches your-- your cookie.

Right, love the sound
of this dish,

But don't take that
smiley face too seriously

- When you're plating, right?
- Yes, chef.

- Good luck. Well done.
- You've got this, miles.

( groans )

- ( spits )
- are you okay?

- Oh, that does not
taste good probably.
- No, it doesn't.

- Jason.
- Hello.

Tell me about your dish,
please, bud.

This is basically
a shrimp boat.

Kind of like my mom--
she's taken me from china

All the way to america
by herself.

Oh, so this is a nod to mum
being a huge inspiration.

- Yeah.
- But I don't get
the gummy bears.

- What are these for?
- Decorations.

What? Gummy bears on a shrimp?
Have you lost your marbles?

I think the gummy bears
are a step too far, okay?

- Yes.
- Good luck, young man.

- Okay.
- Tilly: Good luck.

- All right.
- Boom.

Last 10 minutes.
Come on, keep it going.

- Whoo!
- What an amazing start.
Listen to this.

Jason's full of confidence.
His shrimp look beautiful.

It's almost like a sort of
sweet and sour shrimp.

- Delicious.
- Got it. There we go.

So, miles is doing
scallops, mashed potato,
and brussels sprouts.

Is there some artful
presentation happening?

Gordon: Well, he wants
to plate in the shape of
a smiley face emoji.

But my big worry
is that's too simple for
the masterchef kitchen.

That looks amazing.

Bryson is doing
a really interesting dish.

He's actually
taken the rib cap,
seared it beautifully,

- He has these beautiful
crispy potatoes.
- Wow.

He's going with
a compound butter.

I hope there's
enough moisture in there

- To carry through that dish.
- Ooh, that smells good.

- I got this.
- Gordon: We're down to
our last 60 seconds.

- Speed up! Come on, guys!
- Aarón: Let's go, michael!

- Gordon:
Finishing touches, let's go!
- Come on, hurry, hurry.

Don't overdue it, remy.
Good girl.

- ( gasps )
- knife.

Daphne:
Make it look pretty.

- Gordon: Ten!
- Nine, eight, seven,

Six, five, four,

Three, two, one.

- Stop! Hands in the air!
- Yay!

Well done!
Who's going to win this thing
and go to vegas?

- Me!
- Yours looks so cool.

- Yours looks so good.
- My dish resembles
the happy face cookie

Because it is a happy face.

But the only thing
I'll be worried about

Is the mashed potatoes
are a little bit too lumpy.

Remy: I'm feeling
a little nervous.

My potatoes
are looking amazing.

But chicken is a really
hard thing to do,

And I hope it's not raw.

I've been wanting to be
in the masterchef kitchen

For so long, and I'm just
so stressed out right now.

Right, well done.

Tonight,
all of you had to make

A masterchef-worthy dish

Representing the cookie
that you chose.

Now it's time for us to take
a look at those amazing dishes.

Let's go.

Bryson, are you
happy with that?

Yes, sir. Very happy.

And you cooked
two pieces of meat.

Why'd you put that one
on the plate?

Because it had
a better crust.

- Smart.
- Thank you.

- Yes, sir.
- Michael, impressive.

And you're happy
with the cook on the shrimp?

You don't think
they're overdone?

I think they're cooked
really good.

Let's see.

It is so scary looking
at the judges walking around.

It's scarier
than the boogey monster.

Asher, are you happy
with the cook on your steak?

At first
it was a little underdone,
but I fixed it.

- Nice.
- Lilo: I really hope
the judges like my dish

Because I put a lot
of girl power and magic
into that.

Okay, bre, how about
the heart-shaped burger?
How'd that come together?

It kind of broke
when I was trying
to take it off.

- Mm.
- Mm.

Miles: Whew, this is
a lot of pressure.

The mood's kind of like
people are scared, it's quiet.

I feel like
the waiting emoji...

Jason, the gummy bears,
what happened with those?

I decided to just use
the carrots I cut.

- Smart.
- Okay, thank you.

I really want to make
a really good first impression,

But I'm really,
really nervous.

My heart is literally going...

( imitates heartbeat )

Miles, you resembled
the smiley face, right?

That was the intention.

Are you aware that
the mash is really lumpy?

- Did you taste that?
- Yes.

Hey, jordan, are you happy with
how you cooked the pork chop?

Yes. It actually turned at 160,
but it still looks good.

Thank you.

Remy.

Gordon:
Are you happy that?

You sure? Okay.

Lilo, wow.

It's very artful.
It's really impressive.

Now, as I'm looking
at the steak, there are
definitely some pieces

That look quite red and rare.

- Was it the right
temperature, you think?
- Uh, maybe not.

Wow, amazing dishes.
We've gotta pick a top three
and a bottom three.

Some great technical skills

In terms of
how things are cooked.

- And all the dishes
have a point of view.
- Yeah.

There's something
that connects them

To the emoji,
to a family story.

- You guys happy? Yeah?
- Yeah.

All right, guys, listen up.
There are a few dishes
that we thought collectively

Were the best of the evening.

First dish
that we'd like to taste
is from a young lady

Who put a big old smile
on our faces.

Please step forward...

Remy.

I'm feeling
so good about this.

I can't believe
I'm in the top three.

But the judges look
really scary right now

Because they're all like...

Yeah, so, remy,
tell us what cookie you got

And what the name
of the dish is.

I got the sunglasses emoji,

And the name of the dish
is sunshine state on a plate.

It's lemon-roasted chicken
with carrots and mushrooms,

A carrot-topped chimichurri,

And joel robuchon potatoes.

Remy, it looks good.
I was concerned about the cook
on the chicken,

But you've nailed it.

I love the crispiness.
Great job.

- Shall we?
- Okay, let's do it.

- Looks pretty good to me.
- Beautiful.

- Looks very good to me.
- Very nice.

Gordon: Hmm.

Remy, that chicken skin
tastes as good as it looks.

It was delicious.
And just that mashed potato,
I could eat that for days.

- You've absolutely nailed it.
- Thank you so much.

Yeah, remy, I have to say,
it delivers with flavor.

You have vegetables
that can be very mundane

And very simple,
like carrots and mushrooms,

And you took it
to the next level.

- I'm really
impressed with that.
- Thank you.

Really a phenomenal
first effort here.

- Thank you.
- Very impressive.

Listen, the chicken definitely
puts a big smile on my face.

It's cooked beautifully.

Mashed potatoes to die for,
literally.

I think there's a big
smiley target on your back.

- Good job. Thank you.
- Thank you.

Cooking chicken that well?
Oh, my god.

That's hard to do.

Okay, the next home cook
we'd like to highlight

Made a very impressive
seafood dish.

Please step forward...

Michael.

Michael:
Yes! Oh, my gosh.

This is amazing.
Top three in the first round?

My heart's beating
a million miles an hour,
even though it shouldn't be.

I made shrimp linguini
in pesto sauce.

And the cookie I got
was the cool cookie.

I think fishing is really cool,

- And for me
it's just really fun.
- Okay.

Michael, I love
the way you put the pasta
in the middle in a swirl.

But what I also love
is that looks like a good
amount of sauce

And color on your shrimp
is perfect.

- Thank you.
- Shall we?

How did you cook
the shrimp, michael?

I blackened them
with a little bit of
lemon juice and butter.

- It's good.
- Thank you.

It's really good.
Pasta cooked beautifully.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- Well done. Really good job.

Michael, I really
love those shrimp.

I think you've seasoned them
really nicely.

They don't overpower
the pesto.

I think they go
really well together.

- I really enjoyed that.
- Thank you.

Yeah, michael, I have to say,
that this really reflects

A lot of the style of cooking
pasta in the south, right?

You wouldn't want
a heavy cream sauce
from florida, right?

- No.
- So that's what
I like about it.

- Thank you.
- This is beautifully balanced.

It really speaks
to the loves and passions
that you have.

You definitely brought
your cool out here,

- And it was a delight to eat.
- Thank you.

Good job, michael, well done.

- Really good job.
- Nice.

Nice job.

Okay, and the last dish
we would like to examine

Belongs to someone who cooks
way beyond their age.

Please step forward...

Bryson.

I was so nervous,
but it feels so good
to be in the top three,

And I hope this steak
brings home the win.

So, I got the cool
sunglass emoji,

And in my opinion,
I think my dad's really cool.

He taught me
how to cook steaks.

So I made a ribeye cap
with white truffle potatoes

With manchego cheese on top,

Broccolini,
and a compound butter.

Yeah, I have to say,
it's like the tower
of power of meat.

Look at that thing.
You got a beautiful sear
on the outside,

And those potatoes
just look glorious.

- Thank you so much.
- Shall we dig in?

- Indeed.
- Let's do it.

Tell me the temperature inside.
What are you looking for?

Medium rare to rare.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Thank you so much.

Gordon: Right,
let's get one thing clear.

That rib cap is cooked
beautifully.

Potatoes, crispy.
Broccolini, a little bit
over for me.

But, young man, you're cooking
with confidence, aren't you?

- Yes, sir.
- Well done.

I actually really liked
the way he did the broccolini.

I like it cooked like that.

And those potatoes are nice
and fluffy on the inside.

- Really delicious.
- Thank you so much.

Everything's great.
Cheese is awesome,
butter's awesome.

Your potatoes
were truly perfect.

Clearly, you really
came to show us some
beautiful cooking,

And I am very excited
to see you expand that
palate even further.

- Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
- Yeah, I mean, what you put
forward here on this plate,

It's rich, it's deep,
it has a lot of those wonderful
flavors, and it's honest.

- So, great job.
- Thank you so much.

- Well done.
- Good job, bryson.

Right, remy, michael,
and bryson, congratulations.

Three outstanding dishes.
You're all gonna be safe
from elimination tonight.

- Yes!
- Let's go.

But only one of you
had the winning dish

And will win that amazing trip
with your family to las vegas!

Please give us
a very important moment
to discuss, all of you.

Bryson's rib cap,
everything was cooked
beautifully.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Come on, how about
that shrimp pasta?

- It was delicious.
- Really good.

So, remy's, the chicken,
beautifully done.

She actually elevated
a very humble cut of chicken.

- Yeah. Mm.
- Her execution was perfect.

- I'm so scared.
- Are we-- we happy?

- Yeah.
- ( sighs )

We got this. We got this.

Now, there is only one winner
of tonight's challenge,

And we all agreed
that the winning home cook
tonight is...

We all agreed
that the winning home cook
tonight is...

- Bryson! Well done.
- Yes!

- Nice job, bryson!
- Let's go.

- Nice job, bryson.
- Nice job.

That rib cap was exceptional.

You really do know your meat,
young man.

You and your family have won
an all-expenses-paid
trip to las vegas.

You're gonna stay
inside that beautiful
harrah's las vegas resort,

And have the most amazing dinner

At my newest restaurant,
ramsay's kitchen.

Thank you so much.

- Excited?
- Yes, sir.

Right, all three of you,
head upstairs to the safety

- Of that amazing balcony!
- It feels so good.

I just won the first challenge
of "masterchef junior."

Like, I'm going to las vegas.

This cheese curd
is not leaving the building.

Bryson, I'll see you
in vegas, baby.

As for the rest of you,
sad face emoji,

Because one of you
will be going home tonight.

Now, we're gonna
call up the three dishes

That we felt needed
a bit more work.

The first person coming up

Had issues with cooking
their protein.

Please step forward...

Lilo.

Lilo: I'm really sad.
I know it's not perfect,

But I just hope they think
the flying noodle part

Is really cool to keep me
in the competition.

Okay, tell me
what emoji cookie you picked

And how is that connected
to your dish, please, lilo.

I got the silly emoji,

And I thought what is more
sillier than noodles flying?

I made steak flying noodles

With yakisoba
and stir-fry vegetables.

Honestly, I think this
is one of the most creative

Platings we've ever seen
on the show.

But I'm a little bit
concerned about the way
that the steak was cooked.

I want you to see
how this piece is really,

Really dried out
and quite well done,

- And this piece is all
but rare at this point.
- Mm-hmm.

- Gordon: Shall we dig in?
- Daphne: All right.

The meat,
some is cooked beautifully,

But there are
some bits in there that are
really undercooked,

Which is such a shame.
I'm loving the creativity.

But it does look better
than it tastes, sadly.

I know you spent
a lot of time getting
the presentation perfect.

Because you
had to spend the time there,
you couldn't spend the time

Perfecting the food
quite as much as you
might have liked to.

And I think adding
the vegetables in was
a good idea.

I do think they needed
a little more time sautéing.

I bit into, like, a very raw
piece of onion just now.

Yeah, I mean, for me,
I think half of the amount of
meat would have served you well.

You could have picked
and choosed the right
cook on the steak.

But it's a bold dish,
it just needs some tweaking.

Thank you, lilo.
You can step back, darling.

It's a shame because she really
understood the challenge.

- Yeah.
- But it didn't
deliver in flavor.

Okay, everyone, the next dish
that we need to dig in further

Was a little too simple
for the incredible standards
of this kitchen.

Please step forward...

Miles.

I'm really bummed out
that I'm in the bottom three

In the first challenge.

I didn't make a good
first impression,

Um, and I feel
really nervous.

I just don't want to go home.

The cookie I got
was the smiley face cookie.

So I made pan-seared scallops
with a garlic lemon caper sauce,

Roasted brussels sprouts,

And creamy mashed potatoes
with parmesan cheese.

Maybe you've taken
the actual smiley face
a little bit too far in a way

That you sort of
overplayed with the food,

So I don't think the dish
is as cohesive as it could be.

- Shall we dig in?
- Daphne: Let's.

Miles, those scallops
are cooked beautifully.
I got my happy face on.

Then I get into the mash
and I got my sad face on,

'cause the mash actually
brings the dish down

With the sort of gloopy
mashed potatoes that are lumpy.

Miles, I have to say,
I find scallops one of
the hardest things to cook.

You know, they can
be overcooked so easily.

And they were cooked perfectly.

But I think I would
like a tiny bit more sauce
on the plate,

Just because it's always
the best part, always brings
it all together.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, miles, I think for me,
the fact that you were able

To get those brussels sprouts
charred but not overcooked

Shows a lot
of real thought and precision,
so very impressive.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, miles.

Yeah, a step too far
with the presentation

In terms of trying to create
the smiley face. What a shame.

The final dish
we have to taste further

Was made by a cook
who struggled with
time management.

Please come forward...

Bre.

Bre: I'm a little sad.

This is not the place
I wanted to be in.

I don't want to go home,
but I'm the burger queen,

So hopefully my sauce
will save me.

I made my special
heart burger

With mushrooms,
onions, and cheese,

Potato wedges,
and green beans,

And my secret sauce.

Daphne: Bre, tell us
what the ideal cook

On the inside
of this burger will be.

I was thinking
it would be medium rare.

All right, let's see.

Please, please, please.

Bre, tell us
what the ideal cook

On the inside
of this burger will be.

I was thinking
it would be medium rare.

All right, let's see.

Please, please, please.

Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
It is overcooked.

It is definitely
not medium rare.

Shall we?

Right. Oh, bre. That burger's
seasoning is on point.

But as you know,
it is overcooked.

And so, sadly, it's crumbling,

And the potatoes
are undercooked.

Yeah, bre, I almost wish
if you had it to do
all over again,

I would have loved
to have seen you batter
and fry these green beans.

- Very simple presentation.
- Bre, I really liked
your addition

Of the mushrooms
and the onions.

I feel like you don't often
have a mushroom in a burger

And it kind of just adds
something different.

I also did really enjoy
the bite of sauce I got.

I can see why that's
your secret sauce because
it was very delicious.

The flavors are there.
It's just the cook needs
a bit of work on.

Thank you, bre.

- I love the fact
she toasted the bun so well.
- Daphne: So good.

Right, lilo, miles, and bre,
unfortunately for one of you,

You've just cooked
for the last time
in this kitchen,

And, sadly, will be going home.

But right now
we need a moment together

To discuss
this important decision.

Please excuse us.

- Oh, boy.
- Tough. Really tough.

Miles' scallops,
a little bit too carried away

With the emoji plating idea

- As opposed
to the actual flavor.
- Aarón: Yeah.

- Why am I sweating so much?
- I know.

Like, literally,
I'm like, ugh.

- Um, lilo.
- Aarón: She had this
concept in her head.

- Sure.
- But didn't allow the other
elements to really be visible.

Some of the meat
was cooked beautifully,

And next to it
was a bigger chunk
that was undercooked.

- And bre's burger?
- You could see from the color
on the outside

- It was just overcooked.
- Yeah.

We gotta decide
who's going home.

They're taking so long
to decide.

- We in agreeance?
- Yes.

- Okay.
- ( exhales )

Right, lilo,
miles, and bre,

Three incredibly
talented young cooks.

And you all should be
really proud of yourselves,
let me tell you.

Now, after much discussion,
we all agreed

That the home cook, sadly,
going home tonight is...

Bre.

Miles and lilo,
please say good-bye to bre

And head back
to your station.

You're okay, bre.
Keep your head up.

Bre, the intentions
started off so well tonight.

Sadly, as you know,
the potatoes were undercooked

And your burger
was overcooked.

But, young lady,
you have nothing to be
embarrassed about.

In my mind, the burger queen
still reigns, okay?

And one day
we're gonna see a burger queen
restaurant, right?

- Yes.
- Good girl.

Come and say good-bye,
my darling.

Head up.
Good girl. Oh.

I'm going home. It's not fun,

But I can't be sad about it.

- You did so awesome.
- I got to show

That I really love to cook.

Come on. Bye, darling.
Take care.

You did so good!

When I get older,
I'm gonna win "masterchef,"

- Not "masterchef junior."
- bye, bre!

Because I'm still
bre the burger queen.

- Bye.
- Bye, bre!

You did amazing!

Gordon: Next time
on "masterchef junior"...

- Oh!
- We have treasure chests!

The theme of tonight's challenge
is under the sea.

...It's sink or swim time...

I love mussels. I'm kind of
like the mussel man.

I can't squeeze.

...As the top 11
young home cooks

Take on a very fishy...

Aah! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!

- ...Very slimy...
- Seaweed!

...Seafood challenge.

Gotcha, dad.

I love the cook on the shrimp.
Good job.

Impressive stuff.

The flavor's there,
but that plate's

Got more seaweed in it
than my head had earlier.

Oh, my gosh.
