- Gordon: Previously
on "masterchef junior..."
- lift!

( all groan )

You have to turn
the ingredients you hate

Into something delicious
on a plate.

- Go, go, go, go, go.
- I'm making three-way oysters.

Make sure that batter
is nice and crispy.

- Yes, chef.
- Okay?

I made a mushroom-rubbed
rib eye.

The cook is lovely.
Congratulations, michael.

- Yes, michael! Let's go!
- Yes!

Sadly, the fish
is way overcooked.

I thought you'd cook
a new york strip
better than that.

This oyster's been cooked
for so long, it's actually
disappeared.

The young home cook
that will be going home is...

Lilo.

- Please say goodbye.
- Contestants: Bye, lilo!

Bye!

Tonight, things get
a little sticky.

( yelling, laughing )

With not one,
but two sweet challenges.

- Two?
- First up, we're having
a pancake race.

We gotta prep 'em,
let's go!

Help, help, help, michael.

- Fix it, fix it.
- How long do we have?

Time is up!

Now, you're all gonna have
to make ice cream desserts.

Now time to make
thy ice cream!

( laughs maniacally )

But with elimination
on the line...

- Oh!
- This is so stressful!

- Oh, man.
- ...It won't all
be sugary sweet.

I'm disappointed with this.
Say goodbye.

- Ooh, it looks good in here.
- Wow!

- Very sweet.
- Look at that.

- Aarón: It's a wonderland.
- Gordon: Oh, my!

How exciting
does the kitchen look tonight?

- Daphne: Gorgeous.
- Gordon: Beautiful.

These kids are in
for an absolute treat.

( gasps )

- Oh!
- Whoa!

- This is awesome!
- It's so much candy!

Whoa, is that candy?

That's candy.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

I'm excited to eat
all of them.

Give me some candy!

Hello, everyone,
feeling good?

Yes!

You are the top six left
in "masterchef junior."

All of you, give yourselves
a big round of applause.

- How cool is that?
- So cool.

- So cool!
- So cool!

You know what's even cooler?

Tonight, you're all gonna get
a little taste

Of what it's like
to hang out at my house.

- Yeah.
- With not one,

But two sweet challenges.

- Ooh.
- Two?

- Two?
- Two?

Now, who here loves sugar?
Oh, uh, everybody?

Okay, cool.
This is surprising.

Well, kids, my favorite
Saturday morning treat

Are incredible, fruit-covered,
powdered sugar-sprinkled...

Ooh.

...Syrup-drizzled...

- ( gasps )
- ( gasps )

( pants )

...Pancakes!

- All: Pancakes!
- Yes!

For this first challenge,

We're having
a "masterchef junior"
pancake race.

- What?
- Yes!

You're gonna work
in teams of two...

- Oh, yes!
- ...To put up beautiful
stacks of pancakes.

And we are gonna be judging you

On how perfect
these pancakes come out.

Now, let me show you
how I make a gorgeous stack
of pancakes for my kids.

I'm so excited.
I love pancakes.

I make so many pancakes
at my house.

I'm the pancake master.

Who here has made
pancakes before?

- Me!
- Oh, we got some experts
in the house.

So when it comes
to making a gorgeous stack,

Do not forget to grease up
your griddle

- That you have nice and hot.
- So they won't stick to there.

Precisely, so they
won't stick to there.

So, the first step
is that you want to take roughly
even-size ladles of your batter,

And you'll see that I'm raising
the ladle up from the center

As I lay each circle down,
right?

- Oh, beautiful.
- Perfect.

- It's like a circle.
- Exactly right.

It's gonna form itself naturally
into a beautiful circle.

Now, you don't flip
around with them

Because you don't want
to crush the air out,

You want nice loft,
nice fluffy pancakes.

And we're gonna wait
until the entire surface
of the pancake

Is popping with bubbles
before we flip.

All these little popping
bubbles, that's how you know
your pancake's ready to flip.

And then, on this side,
we're just gonna let it cook,

Not even a minute, 'cause you
don't want overcooked pancakes.

Next step, go ahead
and stack 'em up high,

Three pancakes on every plate.

And now grab a bit of fruit,
pile it up high,

And then take
your beautiful syrup

And give it a nice little
drizzle of coulis on top...

- Whoa.
- ...And powdered sugar, guys,

- Just makes anything
look fancy and lovely.
- Aarón: Oh, my.

Okay, let's review.
We need three pancakes
on every plate.

With just enough fruit.

We need a beautiful drizzle
of the coulis,

And then we need
a dusting of powdered sugar.

And that is how you make
a perfect stack of pancakes
at my house.

Amazing.
They look great.

- Really good.
- Michael: They look so good.

- I want to eat it.
- ( laughs )

Give me some of that pancake.

Right, now that
you know how to make

The most perfect pancakes,
you'll need a spatula.

So, all of you turn around
and grab one behind you.

- Contestants: Yes, chef.
- Whatever color you get,
that's what team you're on.

- Yellow!
- Blue!

- Red, yes.
- Hi, alfred.

Find your teammate
and get your new aprons on.

Remy:
I'm really excited
I got alfred,

Because he knows
a lot about sugar.

He's like, "I need sugar,
I need sugar, ah, sugar rush."

- Sugar.
- I'm, like, so excited.

All right, so,
you have your teams.

- Remy and alfred.
- Yes.

Asher and bryson.
Michael and jordyn.

- Michael jordan.
- So cool.

- Michael jordan.
- Ah, I like it.

Now, each team will have
15 minutes, tonight,

To make as many stacks
of pancakes as they can.

And, remember, you need to meet
our masterchef standards.

Only the good stacks
will count, understood?

- Yes, chef!
- The team with
the most pancakes

That pass our test
will head up to the balcony...

- Yes.
- ...Where they'll be safe

From tonight's
upcoming elimination challenge.

- Okay.
- And, even better,
they're gonna get to blast

A bunch of pancake toppings
on two judges of their choice.

- Oh, yeah!
- Yes!

- Okay, yeah!
- Oh, my gosh!

Can it be gordon ramsay
and gordon ramsay?

- Yeah, exactly!
- Gordon and tilly!

What about the two blondes
in the middle?

- No!
- No!

- Come on!
- You're blonde.

Listen up, right,
all of you,

Head to your stations
and figure out a plan.

Come on, let's go, quick.

- Run!
- Don't let me down, guys.

- Oh, gosh.
- Okay, come on.

- I'm gonna make them.
- Your pancakes, yes!

- You put the batter
on the plate.
- Yep.

- So you're gonna be
on the pancakes.
- Wait, what?

So, what are you
gonna be doing?

One, two, three, yellow team!

- Oh!
- ( bryson laughs )

Daphne:
What just happened?

He knocked him
on the floor.

- One, two, three.
- Oh, my god!

Okay, guys.
The great "masterchef junior"
pancake race starts...

...Now.

- Go! Okay, come on, michael.
- Spray these, too.

No, asher, spray it,
spray it.

- Oh, shoot!
- It's good.

- Forgot.
- Make sure you get,
like, one spoonful.

- Spray the other pan, too.
- Way too much, way too much.

- No, it isn't.
- We're the dream team, okay?
We got this.

Remember, guys, pour from above
so you get perfect circles.

- Oh, no.
- Here, I'll do the pancakes.

You just help me
flip 'em and stuff.

The secret to these pancakes,
we're all looking

- For the consistency first.
- That's right. Yup.

Beautifully colored
on the outside, light and fluffy
in the middle.

Remember, when they're done,
you'll start seeing bubbles
on top.

- Those are bubbling.
- Oh, yeah, that's beautiful.

Nice, nice, let's go,
we got this.

- Asher: No empty griddles.
- Perfect, look at that one.

They look really good
right there.

Remy: Alfred, we have to get
this griddle on.

Alfred:
Yep, I'm gonna do that.

That pancake's
not gonna be perfect.

Here, oh, my god.

We can't have
sloppy pancakes.

I am feeling stressed out,

Even though pancakes
are supposed to be fun to make.

I'm bad at pancakes.

Alfred, let's just go, okay?
Keep going.

Okay, got this.

Jordyn, drizzle these with syrup
and confectioner's sugar.

- Okay? I got these.
I got these.
- Okay, thank you.

- How do these look?
- Okay.

That one needs
a little more time,

- But all the rest are good.
- All right.

Asher: I think I'm gonna
be more of the captain.

I've been making pancakes
as long as I can remember.

Which is, like, four years.

Okay, I'll start plating.
Can you look at them?

The plan is, bryson's gonna
be flipping those pancakes

And putting the batter
on the griddle,

And I'm gonna be topping it
with our bananas

And banana coulis
and powdered sugar.

- Those look amazing.
Asher, good job.
- Thank you.

Guys, we're coming down
to the last 10 minutes.

Come on, guys, speed up.

Jordyn, fill this one up
really quick.

Don't worry about that yet.

- Fill this one up.
- Okay.

Alfred, you need to put
some pancakes on this griddle.

Alfred, alfred.

Remy:
It's really frustrating

That alfred is not
communicating with me.

Alfred, we need to talk.

The pancakes look,
literally, like, a mess.

- Oh, gosh.
- Look at the blue team,

They're not even talking now.

- Dude, that wasn't sprayed.
- I know.

- Oh, no.
- You've got to spray.

Oh, dang it.

We're having a meltdown
right now

And I'm feeling, like,
really stressed out.

Halfway! Just
under seven minutes to go.

We have to move faster, alfred.
Keep flipping.

Gordon:
Flip, alfred, flip!

Please flip, alfred, flip!

( muttering )

Remy:
We have to move faster, alfred.
Keep flipping.

Gordon:
Flip, alfred, flip!

Aarón:
Come on, alfred!

- Good boy, alfred!
- I'm flipping out, let's go.

Gordon:
That's it, alfred,
well done.

Alfred, we just have to keep
talking and we could do it.

Gordon: We're coming down
to five minutes left.

We've got to speed up,
come on.

Daphne:
All right, guys, remember,

- Every plate needs
three perfect pancakes on it.
- This good?

These are dirty pancakes.
We can't serve these.

Jordyn: Yeah,
we can't serve those, okay.

We have to make
a lot of pancakes.

Oh, no, my gosh.
I just broke one.

Some of them
are coming out ugly

And some of them
are ripping all over the place.

( groans )

Dang, I can't even--
I can't flip this.

For some pancakes.

Make sure you put
the ugly one on the bottom.

Okay.
Oh, lord.

Remy, what's happening
over there?

I'm doing more batch
of pancakes.

- We have to make it fast.
- Okay.

Yeah, those are good.
You need to flip those.

- Asher, fill up the griddle.
- Daphne: Fill up
the griddles, guys.

- Gordon: Come on!
- No empty griddles.

That's what I'm getting to.

- I need a plate, jordyn.
- Got one.

- Perfect.
- Red team, michael and jordyn.

Looks like jordyn's
starting to decorate.

- Are they looking good?
- Jordyn: Yes, we got this.

Bryson: All right, decorate.
Let's go, you got this.
Nice, nice, nice.

- Remy, how's things looking?
- Good!

Blue team are working well.
Finally, they're talking
to each other.

- I see that.
- Gordon: Yeah. Really good.

Tilly: They're getting into
the swing of it and have
a decent amount on their plates.

- Daphne: They do.
They did well.
- Tilly: They're doing well.

They have a lot of plates out.

- Who knows if the pancakes are
looking good or not, though?
- Not decorating.

( grunts )

Gordon:
90 seconds to go!

Alfred, let's go, go, go,
go, go, go, go!

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Here, plate this,
plate this, plate this.

- Just plate it. Worry
about plating now, please.
- Okay.

We gotta prep 'em,
we gotta prep 'em, let's go!

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

- Help, help, help, michael.
- Alfred, hurry, let's go.

- Alfred, you forgot about
this three-stack right here.
- Yeah, no, alfred!

- In the middle, the middle,
the middle.
- In front, alfred, in front.

- Oh, man.
- Right there, right there,
all the way!

- Right in front of you.
- No, the plate, the plate.

- Alfred, the plate!
- Oh, man.

- How long do we have?
- 40 seconds.

- Jordyn: Oh, lord.
- Let's go, asher, finish up!

Speed up, speed up!

- Jeez, remy.
- Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry.

- Fix it, fix it, fix it.
- Ten!

Judges:
Nine, eight,

- Seven, six...
- Go!

- Hurry, hurry!
- Five, four...

- Come on!
- ...Three, two, one!

Time is up.
Pancakes down.

Yes! Nice job.

( both laugh )

We have this.
We did really good.

This is the only plate
that was messed up.

- Yeah.
- Look it, we did a lot.

Two, four, six, eight,
10, 12, 14.

- 14.
- We did pretty good.

Right, well done.

The judges are gonna go around
to each of your stations

And take a much deeper look
and count

Just how many perfect stacks
of pancakes you've made.

Let's start with the red team,
shall we, judges?

I'm nervous.

Red team.
How do you guys
think you did?

- Really good.
- I think we did really good.

Looks like you completed
14 plates.

And we'll see how many
actually count.

Okay.

That's a nice drizzle
of coulis here.

But this one has
a little bit of a pool

Of coulis
here at the bottom.

Yeah, some of them
are upside down, right?

You want the nice
caramelized side up.

Thank you very much.

Yellow team,
bryson and asher.

So, it looks like you guys
made 14 plates.

The question is, are they
up to the masterchef standards?

- Let's take a good look.
- Beautiful and look how nice,
round.

This is a good one
right here, guys.

Nice and consistent.

Such a shame,
bryson, asher, look.

This one's got
no color on there.

And you know, no color,
no flavor, right?

- Yeah.
- Yes, chef.

But, with that
being said, gentlemen,

There is some really
spot-on pancakes.

- Thank you.
- Good job, guys.

Thank you.

Theirs look really good.

Blue team, looks like
you've got 17 pancake stacks.

- A lot of pancakes.
Looks great.
- This one looks good.

- Really nice.
- Beautiful color on those.

Daphne: Well, who did the modern
art installation here?

- This is wild.
- I don't know.

And, look, you can see how
that's still undercooked there.

That's not what miss daphne
demoed right?

And look at the shape of it.
Were we rushing here?

You guys can really see
how you've got the nice
drizzles here

And then slowly it starts
to be way too much.

But you did complete
the most plates.

- Right? Thank you, guys.
- Nice job, thank you.

- We got this.
- Gordon: Right, well done.

After a very close inspection,
we have a final result.

And the good news
for the winning two

Is that you're catapulted
straight into the top five.

- We got this.
- Everyone, please
make your way

Down to the front,
let's go.

Michael: I think me and jordyn
have a chance at winning.

We communicated,
we cooperated,

And, best of all,
we put out amazing pancakes.

Now, blue team,
alfred and remy,

You made 17 plates
of pancake stacks.

But it's not just
about the quantity.

We said it's all
about the quality.

And so seven
of those pancake stacks

- Made our standards.
- Good job.

Yellow team,
asher and bryson,

You created
14 stacks of pancakes.

And nine of them
passed the test.

- Let's go.
- Well done.

You are in first place right now
with nine perfect stacks.

And then, finally,
the red team, michael
and jordyn.

Overall, you completed
14 stacks.

You need to beat
the yellow team's nine
perfect plates.

Red team, you got...

Yellow team, you are
in first place right now

With nine perfect stacks
of pancakes.

Red team, you got...

- Ten perfect plates!
- ( squealing )

Red team, congratulations.
Well done!

The good news is
that both of you are safe
from elimination.

- Yes!
- And you are officially

Both in the top five
of "masterchef junior."

- Congratulations to you both.
- Both: Thank you.

Right, now,
for the moment of truth.

- Who's getting splattered?
- Gordon.

It should not be me.
I'm the scariest.

- Gordon.
- Tilly or daphne?

- Aarón?
- ( groans )

And...

- Gordon.
- Yes!

- Good choice, good choice!
- You.

- ( aarón groans )
- all right, kids, come on up.

Bring out
the pancake blaster 5,000.

- Oh!
- No!

- Oh, my goodness.
- Wow.

I don't even care
about not winning right now.

If it was me, I would have
picked chef aarón and tilly.

Chef gordon, if you're
watching this, it wasn't me.

All right, guys,
you're gonna need these.

Oh, what?

- Come on, tilly,
out of the way.
- Tilly: Put them on.

Let's go!
( laughing )

Dude, I mean...
Jordyn, I like you, right?

This was an expensive
t-shirt, please.

- Who cares?
- What?

- I'll give you a car!
- I can't even drive yet.

Three, two, one!

( laughing, squealing )

Oh, my god.

- Ugh.
- Wait, can I get
the slow-mo replay?

That was so ridiculous!

Ugh.

What a mess
you've made in here.

Aarón: Oh, man.

Gordon used to have nice hair.
Used to.

All right, red team.
Please head up to the balcony
where you are now safe.

Enjoy a lovely ice cream sundae
treat while you're up there.

All right, everyone else,
go put on your white aprons.

In just a moment,
you'll be facing
an elimination challenge.

Go get ready, guys.

And why don't you guys
go get cleaned up?

- Let's go.
- Thank you.

Michael, jordyn.
My goodness, me.

- You guys are naughty.
- Man, that was very
naughty, indeed.

All right, come on, guys.
Come back in.

- Whoo, man.
- ( laughs )

Okay, kids, it is time

For another fun-filled
sweet treat

That we love to eat
at my house.

You're all gonna have to make
delicious ice cream desserts.

Oh, no, I'm making
a full ice cream dessert.

I have never
made ice cream before

And I'm not good
with most desserts.

Now, listen closely.
You'll have 75 minutes

To make your fully composed
dessert dish.

Yes, 75.

It could be a profiterole,

A pie, or even a gourmet
ice cream sandwich.

Get it right, and you are
heading into the top five.

Get it wrong, and we have
to say goodbye to you tonight.

Make sure that is not you,
is that clear?

- Yes, chef!
- Right, your time starts now!

Let's go!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- Ow!

All right, michael, jordyn,
go grab your sundaes.

- Enjoy, you earned 'em.
- Both: Yay!

- Where's the unsalted butter?
- I need peaches.

Where are the pecans at?
Where are the pecans at?
I need the pecans.

- Cinnamon.
- I need eggs.

I need this,
that's for sure.

This challenge is hard
because it's not just
about making ice cream,

It's a whole ice cream dessert
that you have to make.

And I think since
I'm from the pacific northwest,

That I'm gonna make
a campfire ice cream dish.

Marshmallows.

Sometimes we go camping

Out in the middle
of the forest,

And it's really fun.

When the judges
taste my dish,

I hope they feel like
they're camping

With me and my family.

Ooh, that's good.

- Michael: Alfred,
how you doing?
- I'm doing good.

My grandparents
used to have dairy cows,

And I live on a farm,

So I need to do well
in this challenge

'cause I know milk,

I know dairy cows,
and I know cows.

The honey tastes delicious.

Gordon: We're coming up
to ten minutes gone.

Just over 65 minutes to go.

Alfred: Oh, my gosh.

Tonight, they've got
a unique opportunity

To inject some real excitement
across these ice creams.

- We just don't want
to see vanilla.
- No.

Tilly:
And we haven't seen
a dessert from anyone yet,

So it's very different
to what they're used to,

And we can really
see a different side
of their cooking.

Mm, tasty.

Ice cream is so challenging,

So you gotta get
the texture right,

You've gotta
get the flavor right.

It really is like a science.

Aarón:
Right, you can over-whip it
or over-churn it.

Gordon:
It needs to be perfected
before it gets frozen

Because you can't
add anything to it

The minute it's gone
in the blast chiller.

Bryson: Come on, butter.
Melt, melt, melt, melt.

Fifteen minutes gone.
We have 60 minutes on the clock.

Guys, you've got to set
the ice cream

In the freezer
quick, quick, quick.

Remy: Ah, there we go.

Guys, look.
Alfred's got the goggles on.

- Oh, wow.
- So he's starting his ice
cream.

- That's good.
- Aarón: Nice and easy,
nice and easy.

Tilly: Tonight, they're gonna
churn their ice cream

With liquid nitrogen
so it kind of fast-tracks it

And they have more time
to work on their dessert.

- Wow.
- Safety first.

Alfred: Making ice cream
is difficult with liquid
nitrogen

'cause you don't want it
to be too hard or too soft.

I feel like a mad scientist.

It's now time to make

Thy ice cream!

( laughing maniacally,
coughing )

- Alfred, how is it going?
- Good.

- What you making?
- I'm making a corn flake
crusted pecan ice cream

With brûléed bananas
and a spicy honey.

Are you just adding the pecans
into the ice cream?

Yeah, when
they're nice and cold,

- So they don't
melt the ice cream.
- Got ya.

And if I have time,
I will do whipped cream.

I'm not sure
if you need the whipped cream.

- Okay.
- You look like
a pro, alfred.

It looks like
you've done this before.

Your goggles have gone
a little bit foggy.

Are you okay?
Can you see me?

- Yeah, okay, that's better.
Excellent.
- There he is, under there.

Good, right, let's get that
set in the blast chiller, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, good man.

- ( beeps )
- all right, there we go.

Asher: I got this.

- Right.
- Remy, tell us
what you're making

And what ice cream
you're doing.

So, I'm making chocolate
peanut butter cookie palooza

With peanut butter
chocolate ice cream.

That sounds delicious.
What's in your cookie?

- It's potato chips.
- What? Wait.
What, what, what, wait.

- What?
- Why'd you put in
the potato chips and pretzels?

- Is that for the salt?
- It's for the crunch
and for the salt.

Wow, okay, I've never had
a cookie like this, remy.

I'm very excited about that.

You ready
for the liquid nitrogen?

Okay, girl, here we go.
Have you done this before?

- No, but I've seen it before,
like on tiktok.
- Please be careful.

- Got your goggles?
- Okay, be careful, please, yes?

- I'm excited about this.
- Ooh!

Aye-yai-yai, remy, careful.

Too much went in there.
You okay?

How did that do that?

It didn't go on you, did it?
You all good?

- No.
- Okay, it's all good.

- Nice and slow
with that, okay?
- Gentle, there you go.

Let's go.

I'm scared.

Uh-oh.

Asher needs to add more
liquid nitrogen.

- Yeah, like a lot more.
- He needs a lot.

Okay, now the hard part.

This is so stressful!

Oh, no!

- What happened?
- Come on.

Michael:
His pecans, they're smoking.

They're burnt, I think.

Oh, goodness.
Oh, no, this is not good.

My pecans are burnt,
and this cannot happen.

I need to put those
in the ice cream,

And I do not have time
to make 'em again.

( grunts )

Oh, no, it's burnt.
Yeah, it's burnt.

If I don't get this right,
then I could go home.

Come on. Dang it!

Oh, no,
this is not good.

Oh, no, it's burnt.
Yeah, it's burnt.

Bryson:
I'm freaking out right now.
My pecans are burnt,

And you do not want
burnt taste in your ice cream.

So I tried to find
the good ones to put it
in my ice cream,

And I'm hoping that the pecans
do not bring the dish down.

Whew, oh, goodness.

Ooh, dang.

- How are you doing, bryson?
- Not good.

Gordon: Half an hour gone,
45 minutes remaining.

Let's go, guys.
Shall we?

Come on, you got this.

Asher, mijo, you good to go?

- Guys, hello.
- Asher, what is in
that bowl of magic?

So, it's vanilla and a roasted
marshmallow ice cream.

- What a good idea.
- Let me help you out, buddy.

- Are you feeling happy with it?
- Yeah.

Where did this idea come from?

I love to go camping,

And I love making s'mores,

So I thought it would
be a great idea.

- Such a cool idea.
- Pat it down.

Are you gonna run it
to the freezer?

- Yeah.
- Run to the freezer, okay?

All right, let's taste it
while we're here, shall we?

Ooh!

Oh.

- That is delicious.
- I think I'm gonna
steal that idea.

- I know, totally stealing it.
- That's brilliant.

We're stealing your idea,
asher, this is genius.

Is it like a cookie,
what is it?

It's a chocolate cake,

And it's a chocolate ganache.

And how do you make sure
your cake's not overcooked?

If the cake tester comes out
clean, then I know it's ready.

That's true.
It'll keep cooking though,
a little bit

When you pull it
out of the oven, so make sure
you don't let it dry out.

Where are you going?

I need to get heavy cream.

He's a maniac.

- I'm back, I'm back.
- Okay.

All right, so in your ganache,
you're gonna use heavy cream.

And also I need to make
a graham cracker crumble.

- Nice.
- Ooh, delicious.

- I need a tray.
- You gotta-- okay--

- I'll be back really quick.
- Okay.

I'm worried he doesn't like us.

Look at that there.
What's bryson doing?

Looks like he's-- no, no, no.

Thanks, jordyn.
See, jordyn just offers it.
Just.

- Michael's a detective.
- What's he doing down there?

- Yeah, come on, man.
- I already ate my cherries.

- Nope.
- I love those cherries.

Come on.

- Perfect.
- Wow.

- Bryson.
- Yes, ma'am?

You know what we haven't heard
about in a long time?

Cheese curd.
Where'd he go?

Oh, he's still here.
You're talking
with him right now.

Okay, what's going on
over here?

I'm making a peach compote
with pecan ice cream...

- And cornbread at the bottom.
- Yum!

All right, so how are you gonna
cook these peaches now?

I'm going to sauté 'em
with a little bit of cinnamon

And regular sugar,
and it's gonna caramelize them.

- Yeah.
- To make them
good and brown.

- Sounds delicious.
- Thank you so much, chef.

And then you're gonna
have some texture by way
of the candied pecans?

Mm-hmm, a little bit
of candied pecans.

- These look a little bit
burnt to me.
- Yes, chef.

I think it's worth
redoing these, right?

'cause it's gonna
turn your whole ice cream
really bitter.

- Are these already
in your ice cream?
- Yes, ma'am.

But I picked out the pecans
that weren't as burnt.

Yeah, that's good,
it's a smart move.

All right, very good.
Good stuff, bryson,
keep it going.

Okay.

Ooh!

Bryson: How you feeling, asher?
What you making?

I'm making my chocolate
cake right now.

Bryson: Nice!

We are down to the last
20 minutes, guys, yes?

Whoa, that looks good.

Looks like remy made
a whipped cream.

She's tasting it.

- She's like, "yeah,
that's good. That's good."
- "ooh, that's good."

- Looks like alfred's
also made a whipped cream.
- Jordyn: Yeah.

- Alfred: Mm, tasty.
- Michael: Everything's
looking amazing!

Jordyn:
Yeah, it looks delicious.

We're down to our last
eight minutes. Come on, guys.

This is where it counts.
Come on, focus.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Banana.

All I need is one banana.

Gordon: There she goes again,
remy, multitasking.

Jordyn: Beautiful, remy.

Now, remy's gonna do
this chocolate peanut butter
ice cream.

- Delicious.
- Tilly: She's got
a skillet cookie.

I mean, remy's literally
throwing the kitchen sink
at this dish.

It does look like she's
trying to do multiple layers,

Multiple places
where you could mess up

And things you want
to get right.

( gasps )
it's baked enough.

Yum, yum, and yummy.

Asher--
what's he doing, asher?

So he's doing a very
kind of elevated take
on s'mores.

He has a toasted
marshmallow ice cream,
chocolate cake underneath.

- Gordon: Wow.
- You know, sometimes asher's
a little bit ambitious

And maybe oversteps
his ability,

So hopefully he can
rein himself in.

Asher: Perfect.

Jordyn:
How are you doing, bryson?

Bryson: Good,
getting some pecans ready.

Bryson is gonna do roasted
pecan ice cream

Over a skillet cornbread.

- Cornbread?
- Yes.

He did scorch his first
batch of pecans,

- Which I think, you know,
there were some to save.
- Damn.

So he put the less burnt ones
into the ice cream.

But now he needs to remake
the pecans for his garnish.

So he's trying
to work on that now.

Aarón: Alfred, he has--
is that banana?

Wow, yeah, roasting banana.
He is going all out.

Imagine an ice cream
dipped in corn flakes.

I think we've also seen him,
you know,

Get out the ingredients
for a spicy honey.

- Ooh.
- Adds a different layer
to this kind of dessert.

But if he starts incorporating
too many things in there,

It may not be a dessert
that is as cohesive
as it could be.

- Yeah.
- Whoo.

I should go grab that.

I've got this.

Gordon: Coming down
to 90 seconds to go.

Dang it!

Gordon: It's time
to get your ice creams

Out of the blast chiller
and onto the plate.

We have to go,
come on.

Jordyn: You got this, y'all.

Alfred:
Come on, come on!

Come on, bryson.

Asher: Oh, that's perfect.

Gordon: 30 seconds,
come on, let's go!

The heck?

Aarón: There you go, alfred.

Daphne: Oh, he's giving us
three scoops, my goodness.

15 seconds to go!
Come on, remy.

- Daphne: Nice!
- Aarón: You got it, remy.

- Let's go!
- Oh, my goodness.

Michael:
Bryson, it's looking great.

- Ten...
- Nine, eight, seven...

Six, five, four...

...Three, two, one!

- That's it!
- And hands in the air!

Well done.

Well done.

- Asher, your cake
looks amazing.
- Thank you!

- That, that was stressful.
- Whoo!

My ice cream,
when I tasted it, was delicious.

But the one thing is
bananas and the whipped topping
might be a bit too much.

I did the cows proud,
and I'm hoping I don't go home

So I don't have to go
chase more cows.

( imitates buzzer )

Right, tonight,
you each had to make

A delicious ice cream dessert.

Now, we're gonna taste
everyone's dishes.

For one of you, sadly,
this will be the last time

You cook
inside the masterchef kitchen.

First up, remy.

( applause )

My skillet cookie looks amazing,

But I feel like the star

Was supposed to be
the ice cream.

And it's slaying.

I think I got this
in the bag.

Remy, tell us what
the dessert is

And what's the flavor
of that ice cream?

I've made a peanut butter
chocolate ice cream

With a chocolate peanut butter
skillet cookie,

Garnished with whipped cream,
a peanut butter ganache,

And a chocolate ganache.

I think this is, like, a fun
take on an ice cream sandwich.

You've got this delicious
cookie underneath

And it looks like
it's gonna be a great mouthful.

- Thank you.
- Now, how long did you
bake the cookie for?

Like, 20 minutes.

Beautiful texture.

Listen, the ice cream
is delicious.

The combination
between that chocolate base
ice cream

And that amazing peanut butter,
it's smooth, it's rich.

The only thing
I'd do differently

Is just cook this cookie

Two or three minutes less
in the skillet,

So it's just a touch gooey
in the center.

But, apart from that,
young lady, well done.

Thank you so much.

Remy, what I love
about the cookie

Is you get a bit
of saltiness and sweetness,

And it really balances it out,

- So I think you've done
a great job tonight.
- Thank you.

I definitely get
that chocolate peanut butter
is your favorite combo.

- Yeah.
- But I don't think
you need the ganache.

I understand wanting to finish
it with something,

But you have absolutely outdone
yourself in 75 minutes.

- Really awesome.
- Well done, young lady.

Back to your station, please.
Really good.

- Nice job, remy.
- Thank you.

- Next up, alfred.
- You got this!

Please, ice cream god,
aka cows.

( echoing )
...Ever.

( echoing )
please!

I made a corn flake-crusted
candied pecan ice cream

With spicy honey,
brûléed bananas, and a bit
of whipped cream.

Alfred, this looks amazing.

I know it's gonna have
a lot of texture,

Which I'm excited about.

You know, hopefully, there's not
too much of that honey,

'cause you were very
generous on that,

So we'll see how it tastes.
But it looks very interesting.

Is it honey and hot sauce?

Are they separate
or mixed into one?

They're mixed into one.

Alfred, I really like
what you've done with
the corn flakes.

There's a bit of saltiness
to counterbalance the sweetness.

I love the pecans
inside the ice cream.

Kind of changes
the texture up a little bit,

I loved it.

Alfred, the hot sauce honey
takes over

And actually mars
some of the beautiful work

You did with the ice cream,
okay?

But, I'm telling you,
the ice cream

Is a home run, man.

Alfred, the ice cream
tastes really good.

But I'm trying to imagine
this as a dish,

'cause it's several components
of other desserts.

It's definitely
you on a plate, okay?
Thank you.

Michael: Yeah, alfred!
Good job, alfred!

All right,
so, next up, asher.

( applause )

So, I made a marshmallow ice
cream with a chocolate ganache,

Roasted strawberries,
chocolate cake,

And graham cracker crumble.

I think the plate
on wooden platter

Is a really interesting way to
tie in that story
of the campfire.

Ice cream looks good.
I'm excited to taste.

- Shall we?
- Yes.

You toasted
the marshmallow, right?

And I also toasted
the strawberries.

The ice cream is some
of the best I've ever tasted.

I am obsessed with this toasted
marshmallow flavor.

It's rich, it has that wonderful
smoky flavor to it.

- You have absolutely
knocked it out of the park.
- Thank you.

You took a very rustic idea,
like camping,

But you made it elegant,
at the same time.

It's the most creative
version of ice cream
I've tasted tonight.

- Thank you.
- Young man, the ice cream
is delicious.

It is really creamy.

I love the idea
of the strawberries as well,

They've been roasted.

Just remind me how old
you are again.

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

- Yeah.
- You're not lying, right?

No.

Do you want a bite?

- No! Back to your station,
young man!
- Aw!

Well done.

- Bryson: Asher, good job.
- Beautiful, asher.

Daphne:
Okay, the last dish--

Bryson, please bring up
your ice cream.

- Wow!
- That looks so good!

I'm not completely sure
if there are burnt pecans
in the ice cream,

So I'm hoping my ice cream
won't be bitter.

I made a pecan ice cream
with peach compote

On top of a cornbread,
and caramelized pecans on top.

Bryson, this to me,
looks like a very hearty,
wholesome dessert.

The peaches look like they've
got delicious flavor.

I can't wait to get
a big spoonful.

- Thank you.
- Shall we?

Why cornbread, though?

I mean, in the south,
you gotta have cornbread.

- Yep.
- Exactly.

Daphne:
Bryson, there was that moment
where the pecans

Seem to have gotten
a little bit burned.

What happened there?

I end up using the ones
that looked--

Actually the better ones
in that ice cream.

Bryson, who taught you
how to cook?

- My dad.
- I gotta be honest
with you, right?

You know, I've seen you
cook so well on the grill.

But I'm disappointed with this.

( gasps )

Bryson, who taught you
how to cook?

- My dad.
- I'm disappointed with this.

( gasps )

I'm disappointed
that dad can't taste it,

'cause it
is fricking delicious.

Yes.

You got me
a little nervous there.

I'm telling you,
the peaches are in abundance.

It's like a cobbler gone mad.
Ice cream's delicious.

But the cornbread,
with all that syrup

From the peaches
and the ice cream

And the pecans--
I like it, bud.

- Seriously, really good job.
- Thank you.

Bryson, this is
a celebration of the south.

And I love how much
caramelization you've got
on those peaches.

You transformed them
to something completely
different.

- Unbelievable.
- Thank you.

I got a little burnt pecan
in mine, a little charred.

But we're calling it smoked,
and I kinda like it like that.

- Well done.
- Thank you.

- Good job.
- Well done, bryson.

- Well done.
- Nice job, bryson.

Bryson: Thank you.

What an amazing job.

You four have given us
a lot to discuss.

All of you, please
make your way down to the front.

Excuse us.

- Wow, we said ice cream.
- Tough.

And, man,
we were spoiled for choice.

Remy's, that cookie
with the peanut butter.

Her ice cream, for me,
was perfect.

But I don't think it needs
the cream or the ganache.

The ganache was almost
too much peanut butter.

Daphne: Yeah, I thought
the cookie was well executed,

But it missed
the molten element,

Which is sort of the
beauty of a skillet cookie.

- It was overcooked.
- It was overcooked.

I have to say, bryson's,
I just fell in love with.

- Aarón: Oh, my lord.
- The cornbread was a sponge,

- And he took the time
to puncture it...
- Exactly.

...To make sure all that
good juice got in there.

What do we think
about alfred?

Alfred, you know,
it was good.

- Just delicious, but--
- the honey chili syrup
had no business there.

- It needed something
to bring it together.
- Yeah.

- Asher's.
- Didn't you feel like
you were at a campfire?

- Yes.
- In washington?
And artful.

It reminded me of a dessert
we'd see in the finale.

- Mm!
- No, I'm scared.

Right, tonight,
you four treated us to some
incredible desserts.

But the judges felt
there was two dishes tonight

That really stood out
for all the right reasons.

And those were made by...

...Bryson and asher.
Congratulations.

- Yeah!
- You are both in the top five.

Make your way
up to the balcony, please.

Great job.
Well done.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Now, remy and alfred,
sadly both your desserts

Fell a little short
on the challenge tonight,

And, after a very long
discussion,

We're all in agreeance.

The young cook
that'll be leaving

And heading home
tonight is...

...Alfred.

Remy, please say
goodbye to alfred

- And make your way upstairs.
- You did so good.

Gordon: Oh, alfred.

The caramelized bananas
with the whipped cream

Was a bit of an afterthought,

And we felt that
the hot honey sauce

Was a little bit of a mystery.

But, do you know
we've fallen in love with?

You.

I'm gonna miss
the passion for cooking

And the zest for life.

The character,
the incredibly polite,

Funny, witty,
smart young man.

I'm gonna miss you,
my man.

Alfred, you're gonna get
yourself together

And I'm gonna
get myself together.

'cause I adore you.
I think you're amazing,
and I am...

Alfred, you're just--
you're amazing.

You're unapologetically you.

And I just think
that's beautiful.

I'm really gonna
miss you, bud,

And I'm really proud of you.

Top six.
Top six. Incredible.

Come up here
and give us a hug, come on.

Come on, big man.

Come here.

Oh, buddy,
I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you,
you know that?

You did a great job.
I'm so proud of you.

Alfred:
It's been a big deal for me
to be on "masterchef"

Because I have learned
that I'm a good cook

And not an idiot sandwich.

- Alfred, do you need help?
- No.

But I'm going to miss
all the people I've met.

As we say, "chow down."

Gordon:
"as we say, 'chow down.'"
thank you.

I've learned so much
from gordon.

Come on, man,
you've got this.

Alfred: And I don't
want to leave him.

Alfred, anyone seen alfred?
Oh, there you are.

I want to take him
to north dakota.

- One more thing, gordon.
- Yes?

You want a race to the door?

Let's go.
Get down, get down here.

I'm judging down here.

You're going that way,
I'm going this way.

Aarón:
Yeah, you're gonna hurt
your back, gordon, come on.

Are you read--
what! Hold on.

- Ready?
- On your marks, set, go!

- Go on, alfred! Go on, alfred!
- ( overlapping chatter )

- Gordon, gordon, gordon!
- Yes, alfred, go!
Go, alfred!

- ( cheering )
- yay!

- Really?
- Bye!

- Yay, alfred!
- Bye, alfred!

- Bye!
- You did so good!

- Gordon: Next time...
- It's a time machine!

- Bye, guys.
- Say, goodbye!

- Bye!
- ...We're taking a trip
through time.

- ( buzzes )
- ( screams )

( whirring )

- ( screaming )
- oh, my god!

I told you
this was a bad idea!

You have to take these dishes
from your past

- And turn them into dishes
from your future.
- Shoot, shoot, shoot.

- Pressure's on.
- A little bit.

But on the journey
to the semi-finals...

- Stop!
- ...One young home cook
will be left behind.

- I'm crunching a little bit
of dirt.
- Tilly: There's nothing worse.

( groans )
what a shame.
