(Male announcer)
Previously on Masterchef...

Shut your mouth!

(Announcer) Paula Deen
popped out of a mystery box

and played judge for a day...

Put some South in your mouth.

(Announcer)
Leading to a tag team challenge

that spun the competition
out of control.

No, no, no, no, no. They're to your left!
Where? Where?

Oh!
Oh, my God.

(Announcer)
When team Christine and Stacey

were left at the bottom...

This is the worst performance
from both of you.

(Announcer)
Stacey was the one eliminated.

No.
It's okay.

[Weeps]

(Announcer)
Tonight the final six

are in for the shock
of their lives...

Everything you know
is gonna change forever.

(Announcer)
When past competitors return

for the ultimate challenge.
[Bleep].

(Monti) And then... Whoo!

There's Ryan.

Oh, yeah,
this piece of [Bleep].

(Announcer) For the first
time in Masterchef history,

one will get the second chance
of a lifetime.

I'm more motivated than ever.

I don't want any of them
back in the competition.

(Announcer)
And cook their way back

into the competition.

The flavor elevator's back.

And we're going up.

Sync and corrections by Ferke

welcome.

Please, all of you,
come down to the front.

Thank you.

(Frank) Top six, man.

It feels unbelievable.

There's only five people
in my way

of becoming
the next Masterchef,

so watch out.

Good to see you all.

The final six.

I need to win this.

This isn't something
that I hope to do.

This is something
that I have to do.

Today everything you know

about Masterchef
is gonna change forever.

It's always a twist,
always a curveball,

and I feel more nervous
than I do excited.

None of you
will be cooking today.

What?

That's right.

All of you head up
to the gallery, please.

(Becky)
There's something else going on.

I think that they're going
to bring someone into cook.

I don't know
who that's gonna be.

Today in the Masterchef kitchen

are some familiar faces--

The last eight people
that we eliminated.

Huh?
What?

Please welcome back...

Oh--
Stacey...

[Applause]

Josh...

Josh, whoo!
Really?

(Graham) Tali...

Tanya...

Cowboy Mike...

Yeah!

[Whistles]

(Graham) Anna...

Scott...

And last but not least...

I don't remember
who the eighth person was.

That was
a really long time ago.

Ryan.

Whoo!

Oh.

And then there's Ryan.

And I'm like, "oh, yeah,
this piece of [Bleep]."

This kitchen
has been a better place

since he was eliminated.

Welcome back.

(All) Thank you, chef.

(Anna)
I love the masterchef kitchen.

It's amazing
to be walking back in.

But I'm not sure why I'm here.

Even the best chefs
in the world

can have a bad day.

Trust me.

I've had thousands.

It's a shame for anyone
to be judged solely

on their worst moment

and their worst dish.

This is our search
for America's best home cook,

and this is America,

a country built on opportunities
and second chances.

We've invited you all back

to the Masterchef kitchen

so that one of you...

Can win this.

[Exclamations]

A Masterchef apron.

Stop it.
For one of you,

this will be
your ticket back...

Into this competition.

God.

Whoa.

Everything just changed.

The flavor elevator is going
straight to the penthouse.

I am rested, and I am ready
to come back

with a vengeance.

The eight of you
will now compete

in an unprecedented
second-chance mystery box.

The two winners
of this challenge

will then compete
head-to-head,

and the winner of that battle

will have cooked their way

back into this competition.

I just got eliminated,

so I am earning that apron back

no matter what.

I am a little pissed right now.

Oh, yeah.

All eight of you

are about to assemble
a mystery box.

What?

Ryan, you'll go first
in the pantry,

where you'll choose
a single ingredient

and place it here.

One by one,
you'll each take a turn,

ending with Stacey,

the last person
to be eliminated.

Once all of you
have made your selections,

you'll each be given
just those eight ingredients

plus the staple pantry box

to cook a stunning dish

that will keep you
in contention

of winning a white apron back.

Ryan, are you ready?

Yes, chef.
Go.

I feel like he's gonna choose
some wacky ingredient

that's just gonna set the tone
for, like,

"okay, this guy's
a nut-ball."

I feel pretty good
about being the first person

to pick an ingredient.

I get to be
in the driver's seat.

I want to try
to pick something challenging.

(Gordon) Here we go.

Portobello mushrooms.
Okay.

(Gordon)
Wow. Scott.

Think smartly.

Off you go.
All right, guys.

Definitely surprised
to have this opportunity

to actually get back
in the game again.

But we had no time
to start formulating a plan.

I gotta go with what I know.

What is it, Scott?

I went with a really nice,
stunning pork chop.

Wow.
Whoo!

Celery.

Mike.
Condensed milk?

I have a plan.
Wow. Tanya.

I got white wine vinegar.

(Joe) Uh-oh. The opposite
of condensed milk.

(Gordon) Tali.

What should I do to these guys?

Uh-oh.
Chocolate buttons?

(Tali) Chocolate buttons.

Josh.
Good luck.

(Graham) Wow.

Someone's gotta pull
a starch, right?

(Joe) What's he bringing?

Surely onion, tomato, garlic.

Or some spices.

What have you got?
Oh, my God.

Pomegranate.

(Gordon) Pomegranate?

(Joe) This isn't a mystery box.
This is a freak show.

(Gordon)
Stacey. Last pick.

I'm hoping
there's a starch coming.

This mystery box
is shape-shifting

like no other,

but I'm smart.

I know what I want to do,
and I'm sticking to it.

Hmm.

(Gordon) This is key, isn't it?

This is gonna cement it.

Yeah, 'cause, so far, you have

just a bunch of weird accents.

You don't have anything

to hold it all together.

Gonna like it.

Here comes the rice, please.

Stacey, what have we got?

Heavy cream, chef.

Oh.
Oh, man.

[Laughs]

This mystery box
is a total disaster.

You got chocolate,
condensed milk, celery--

It's just--
it's a joke.

I love this [Bleep].

Okay,
eight eliminated contestants,

eight ingredients

hand-picked
by you all.

The two cooks

that make the best dishes

from those ingredients

will fight on

and go head-to-head
to win

that elusive apron

and join
those talented individuals

up on the balcony.

Your 60 minutes...

Starts...

Now.

(Gordon) Good luck.
(David) Come on, Josh.

Come on, Mike.

To get a second chance
in something

of this magnitude
is almost overwhelming.

And I'm ready to rock and roll.

I got to remember
where all this [Bleep] is again.

(Graham) This is the
most random assortment

of anything we've ever seen.

It is as bad as I
could have ever have dreamed.

I mean, I don't think
it could've gotten

more difficult than
what they picked. Sure.

What would you do?
I would make a puree

out of the gills
of the mushroom

and grill the pork chop and,
like, a little celery salad.

I would go
for roasted mushrooms,

a caramelized pork chop,

and glaze it with celery juice

and white wine vinegar.

Is tali using chocolate yet?

(Frank) He's definitely
using chocolate.

I love competition.
I love it.

I'm like a feeding frenzy
right now

every time somebody even
mentions the word "competition."

I'll take out anybody here,
and then I'll get started

on everybody upstairs.

What?

(Felix) I think Ryan just
doesn't know when to shut up.

And, for me,
Ryan's not a threat.

Good.

This is the best place
to be right now.

I'm gonna make the most of it.

They probably thought,
you know,

they were all safe and stuff
because I was leaving,

but now they're really gonna be

into a world of trouble
when I get back.

Josh is my biggest competitor.

The idea of him coming back

is throwing another, like,
wrench in my master plan.

(Gordon) 20 minutes to go, guys.
Come on.

I'm foaming
at the mouth right now.

He's such a dingbat, this kid.

I know.
The flavor elevator's back,

and we're going up.

(Announcer) The last eight
eliminated contestants have returned

to the Masterchef kitchen
for a second chance

at a coveted white apron.

The two home cooks
with the best mystery box dish

will then go head-to-head

to get back
into the competition.

I can't wait to see what Mike's

got up his sleeve over here.

Mike.
Yes, chef.

What are you doing?
I'm doing something

that you would not expect
this cowboy to do.

I'm going dessert.
I'm making a chocolate flan.

You don't look like the kind
of dainty dessert man...

No, I don't.
Who would come up with a flan.

I don't.
That's why I'm doing it.

Stacey, what are you doing?

I made some fresh pasta dough.

I'm gonna roll out
some lasagna sheets

and do ravioli.
Inside of that is gonna be

the fresh ricotta that I made,

the roasted
portobello mushrooms...

Fresh ricotta?
Yes.

Fresh pasta?
Yes.

Caramelized the pork chop,

roasted mushrooms,
and making a celery puree?

I mean, I've never seen this with you.
Yes, I know.

How badly do you want
that white apron back?

I'm [Bleep] fierce,
so it's time for me to return

and fight my way to the top.

Ryan, what are you making?

I made a pork chop.

I lightly dredged it in flour,
salt, and pepper.

Who on the balcony
doesn't deserve to be there?

Definitely David Martinez
doesn't--

Martinez?

Is he wearing your white apron?

Oh, he's wearing
my white apron.

Are you gonna get it back
today?

I'm definitely
getting it back today.

I'm not gonna stop until I do.

45 minutes gone.

15 minutes to go.

Joshua, how you feeling?
Feeling great, chef.

You've gone desserts?

Yes, I'm making
a chocolate mousse

with a pomegranate sauce.

Can this dessert
get you back up there

on that balcony?
Yes, chef.

Who shouldn't be up there?

I did not expect
to see David Martinez up there

at all.
Really?

He said it too now.

I'll go head-to-head
with any one

of these people
that have said that.

(Gordon) Wow.

Interesting dishes.
Absolutely.

Pretty impressive.

I think it looks like some
of the best dishesever cooked

in competition ever.
Yeah.

So what do you guys think?
If you were up here,

who would you not want to see
go up and join you in white?

I would not want to see someone
of Josh's caliber.

I mean, the level of confidence
that guy's bringing.

I wouldn't want
to see Stacey back

because I would think
I just eliminated her

a few days ago.

To have her back again
with her potential

would be really unnerving.
And cowboy Mike.

You know, he made
some good food.

He could be
the dark horse here.

Okay, folks,
three minutes left.

Crap.

That's where my flan's at
right now.

(Gordon) Taste everything.

Come on, guys.

One stunning portion.

(Frank) That looks good.

No? No. I think
it's going to fall.

Come on.

Please.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one, and stop!

Well done.

From here, they look amazing.

Already you guys have gone up

a different level.

We're looking
for the two best dishes.

But there's
only one white apron.

All right, Josh, let's see it.

From the beginning,

I thought that Josh would be
in the top five,

so I don't want him
back in the competition.

So everybody's kind of scared
of you,

you coming back
in the competition.

What did you make here
that could intimidate everyone?

I made a chocolate mousse with
pomegranate reduction sauce

with candied lemon peels.

Presentation-wise,
it's not a work of art.

It might not be beautiful
to look at,

but that tastes amazing.

Thanks.

That is so good.
Thank you.

It tastes absolutely delicious.

Thank you.
Great job.

Thanks, chef.

Looks like a proper mousse.

You got enough air whipped
in there.

You think the people up there
are rooting against you?

Are they intimidated
by you as a cook?

A little bit.

This is great.
Thank you.

Maybe they should fear you.

[Laughs]

Okay, Anna.
Let's go.

I made pan seared pork chop
with sauteed portobello mushroom

and a shaved celery
and pomegranate salad.

Visually, Anna,
it looks beautiful.

Thank you.

Great sear on the pork.
Little bit overcooked.

And it looks like you sliced it
when it was too hot.

It's a great shame.
It is.

(Joe) Next is tali.

This is chocolate pot de cremes

with a little bit
of pomegranate syrup,

pomegranate seeds,

and a little bit
of a celery foam.

If Josh's mousse
was a chocolate dream,

this is like chocolate mortar.

It's very dense, very heavy.

Mm. Okay. Thank you.

(Gordon) Scott, please.

I pan-seared
a stuffed pork chop,

then I pickled the celery

and made a little pomegranate
sweet sauce for everything.

Slightly undercooked.

However, the flavor
and the sear is good.

Thank you.
Thank you, chef.

(Graham) Tanya.

Hello.
Hi, Tanya.

I made crispy celery with pork,

and I used the leaves
as a part of my marinade.

I also used the celery
with the mushrooms

that I made a ragu of
with the cream.

The cook on the pork
is delicious.

The mushrooms are really good.

But to me, celery fried
is just...

I don't get it.

Okay.
Thanks.

Okay.
Stacey, let's go.

[Cheers and applause]

I feel that

Stacey is gonna come through

because she showed a lot of
skill in those last 60 minutes.

It is a fresh ricotta

and roasted portobello
mushroom ravioli

with roasted celery cream
and a pan roasted pork chop.

Based on what you've just done
in the last 60 minutes...

You're back with a vengeance.
It's delicious.

Thank you.

How made ricotta, pasta,
cream sauce,

roasted pork chop

in 60 minutes, I don't know.

Potentially, you've got
one hand on that white apron.

Thank you, chef.

Wow. Delicious.

This woman wants her shot

back in this competition.

That was really good.
Yeah.

(Monti) And a part of me
fears that kind of hunger.

I'm pretty worried.

All right, let's go,
cowboy Mike.

[Cheers and applause]

Today the judges brought back

the last eight contestants

that we've eliminated.

All right, Mikey!

And two of the top dishes
will go head-to-head

and then whoever wins gets to
join the group of six again.

All right, welcome back. How
are you, chef? Thank you.

I'm like, "omg, Batman."

I don't want any of them
back in the competition.

So what did you make?

I made a chocolate flan.

I incorporated chocolate
into milk,

and I've got the zest
of a lemon in there

to give it a little bit
of tanginess.

Country, Southern, cowboy Mike...
Yeah.

Bringing in condensed milk.

Yeah.

[Laughter]

What was the idea with that?

I really wanted to do
a dessert,

something
totally out of the box.

So you wanted to stand out.
I did.

It's baked beautifully.

Th's really delicious.
Thank you, chef.

Really good job.
To see you in one hour

create something like this...

I think it's a testament
to how far you've come.

Thank you, chef. Good job.
Proud of you.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

And the flan,
you've never cooked it before?

I've never cooked
a chocolate flan in 60 minutes.

It's delicious.
Yep, it's very good.

Great job. Well done.
Thank you, chef, very much.

All right, Mike!
Great job, Mike.

Last up... Ryan.

This kid--
he better not

worm his way
back into this competition

after being gone for so long.

Ryan?

Go [Bleep] yourself.

What is it?

A pan seared pork chop

with a mushroom and celery ragu

with a pomegranate
gastric on the bottom.

Are you happy with it?

Uh, yes.

There's a brashness to you

that is like a chef with the
cockiness and the arrogance.

And when you don't deliver,

you're gonna get
your ass kicked.

This time, you've delivered.

It's delicious.
Great sear.

You kept it on the bones,
so it's moist, you know,

and you've nailed this.

I mean, I think it's one of your
best dishes you've cooked here.

Good job.
Thank you very much.

Well done.
Appreciate it.

I see Frank's up there,
rolling his eyes at you.

But what Frank doesn't realize

is how delicious this is.

Thank you so much.

I think that

there's a...
A potential in you

that sometimes is masqueraded

by this seemingly bewildered

young man who has no job,

probably not doing a whole hell
of a lot every day.

You know,
I spend my time cooking.

That's what I do
during the day.

I love to just experiment
with different things,

and I realize
that my only limitation

is my imagination
when I go into the kitchen.

I think you have
something to show them.

Get ready.

There's a reason
why we're all still here,

and he's been hanging out
in central park

feeding birds or something.

But the final six
that are in our spots here

are without a doubt
better cooks than Ryan.

Very hard.
Yeah.

(Gordon) Wasn't that one
of the best pork chops?

(Joe) Yeah, that was
good, actually.

(Announcer)
With all the dishes tasted...

(Graham) It was more like a garnish.
Didn't make sense.

(Announcer) The judges
will now decide which two

of the eight returning
home cooks

will go head-to-head

for a chance to re-enter
the Masterchef competition.

(Gordon) Well, let's
get one thing right.

It's certainly gone up a level,
let me tell you.

Well done. (All)
Thank you, chef.

Can the following
four people step forward?

Tali.

Tanya.

Anna.

Scott.

You four have shown that you
are truly great home cooks.

Today...

Great is not quite good enough.

We have to say good-bye
to all four of you.

Good-bye.

Thank you... Very much.
Thank you so much.

Okay.

Stacey, Josh, Mike, Ryan.

This has been
a very tough decision.

Mike, Ryan,
step forward, please.

One of you's staying,
and one of you's going home.

[Suspenseful music]

The only person
I'm rooting for is Mike

'cause Mike's my homeboy.

I want Ryan to come back
just so I can be the one

to hammer that last nail
into his coffin.

I don't think that kid
could cook his way

out of a microwaveable
popcorn bag.

Ryan...

[Suspenseful music]

You...

Are staying
in the Masterchef competition.

Good job, big man. Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.

All right, Mike.
All right, Mike! Whoo!

Take care.
Good luck, y'all.

I feel amazing right now.

I feel like I've gotten
a second lease on life.

I don't want to sound
overconfident,

but I think I'm the best chef,

including the ones
who are already up there.

Stacey, Josh,

one of you is leaving,

and one of you is going
head-to-head against Ryan

to compete to join
those six on the balcony.

Based on performance,

I think that Stacey deserves
to come right back in the game

where she left off.

I want Josh to beat Ryan
into oblivion.

I'm really hoping
that it's Stacey.

The person

that's going
head-to-head with Ryan...

I think Josh is the better cook.

It's gotta be Stacey.
I mean, she deserves it.

(Gordon) I think...
Josh takes it.

That person will be...

Stacey, Josh.

One of you is leaving,

and one of you is going
head-to-head against Ryan

to compete to join those six.

Josh is dangerous, because if

comes back to the competition
he becomes an immediate threat.

I think Stacey really wants this
and she just got eliminated

so, she's got a lot to prove.

That person will be

Joshua

(Josh) Oooh [Clap]

Oh, Stacey

another gallant effort

you're just gonna get better,
and better, and better.

I plan on it, chef.

I love you Stacey
[Claps] I love you Stacey

he is the best.

Tonight, you now have a fifty-fifty chance

of re-entering the world's
biggest culinary competition.

I think it's safe to say

that the pressure is on.

Get your game face on.

I'm gonna whoop
Ryan's ass, man.

This is gonna be the culinary
battle of his life.

(Graham) There's one dish

that separates you from success

or failure.

That dish is a glorious...

Fruit tart.

[Whistles]

Instant happiness
with Josh's face

and fear in Ryan's.

I think Josh versus Ryan
in this challenge

is gonna be a slaughterhouse
of horrors

because Ryan got sent home
on a dessert against Josh.

This challenge is all about
flavor and creativity.

There are no limits
on your interpretation

of this classic dessert.

(Joe) But it's not us
you'll have to impress.

We have some special
guest judges

with, uh, I would say,
very, very refined palates.

Say hello...

To your six judges.

We're all like...

Holy crap.

One, I'm incredibly honored.

Two, I'm a little nervous.

Because I know those judges
are gonna be looking at us

to make sure that we know
what we're talking about.

(Gordon)
They'll all taste a slice

from each of your tarts

and vote for the best one.

Being able to judge food
in Masterchef kitchen

is an honor.

I'm expecting Bobby flay
or Jean-georges

to come walking
through the door,

and then he drops
the bomb on us

that the six dopes upstairs
are gonna be judging my food.

It will be a totally
blind taste test,

so they will not know

whose dessert is whose.

I think that makes it fair,

and you know what?

The other contenders will now
see what I do every day,

judging the texture
and taste profiles.

Your fate is now

in their hands.

I think my palate has come

a really long way
since being on Masterchef,

so I'm pretty stoked
about this today.

Make your way through
to the Masterchef restaurant.

Thank you.

Plus, this is
a Masterchef first,

so we really, really have
to put our minds to this

and prove that we have
what it takes.

Josh, Ryan,

welcome
to culinary thunderdome.

Everything that you need
to make a basic fruit tart

is already at your station
in front of you.

Any other ingredients

are available to you
in the limited pantry.

You can make any kind of
fruit tart you want,

incorporate any ingredient.

You can finish it
with any kind of fruit.

(Gordon) You've both got

90 minutes.

Are you ready?

Both: Yes, chef.

Your time starts...

Now.

Good luck.

It's the culinary battle
of my life.

I'm motivated than ever
to pursue this dream.

I got a second chance,
which is completely unheard of,

and I'm ready to fight.

This is the biggest opportunity
of my life,

but I've never made
a fruit tart before,

so I have a lot to prove
at this moment.

[Groans]

The secret
of a great tart for me

is the perfect crust.

Do they go shortcrust?
Do they go sweet pastry?

(Joe) I think it depends
on your topping,

'cause if you're going,
like, a more fragrant topping,

I would say
a more butter crust.

(Graham) I mean, that crust
is the foundation, right?

You know, it has to rest
and set in the fruit,

and then put it into the mold.

I mean, you want a firm base

'cause it has to take
the weight,

not only of the pastry cream,
but the fruit on top.

This tart is, like,
the most important thing

in my life right now.

I mean, I already beat
Ryan's ass once

in the dessert challenge.

I mean, it's only right
that I do it again.

Culinary thunderdome--
two men enter, one man leaves.

He's a great competitor,
but he's gotta go home today.

How is your tart gonna
separate from his?

What I plan to do is use
a lot of exotic ingredients--

you know, pineapples,
mangos, kiwis.

If that fruit is too hard
on top, you've destroyed it.

The pastry cream--how are you
flavoring that?

I'm gonna flavor it
with a little bit of vanilla.

Good luck.
Thank you.

Ryan, you left here
on a bloody dessert last time.

This guy kicked your ass.

Is there a double victory
for him again tonight?

Not a chance.
Talk to me about the tart.

What are you doing? I'm going
to do a fresh berry tart

with a blood orange
pastry cream.

How desperate are you to get
back into this competition?

There's a few times
in somebody's life

when they have
an opportunity like this,

and this one's mine,

and I'm not willing
to let it pass me by.

Good luck.
Thank you very much.

(Gordon) Guys, halfway there.

Two tarts,
but only one white apron.

Your six judges
are eagerly awaiting

your dishes,
which they will blind-taste.

Make sure this is
a magnificent fruit tart.

You know,
waiting in that restaurant

is pretty intense, man.

We're gonna be handing someone
their dream back.

In the end, even though
I don't care for Ryan,

I know that this is his dream,

as well as I know that
this is Josh's dream.

(Frank) I think they're really
both fighting for their lives,

and the best man
is gonna win here

because it is
a blind taste test,

and I'm looking forward to it.

What is the deal behind
pastry cream?

If the pastry cream is too weak,
the fruit will bleed through it

and turn the pastry...
[Snaps] Soggy.

But the topping--

are you going
for visual impact,

or are you going
for the practicality

of cutting the tart?

What would you put on top
of a fruit tart?

(Graham) Something soft,

nothing with a skin on it.
No.

(Graham) It's all about
the knife going through.

I don't want anything
to catch on that blade

and then run through
and destroy the tart.

(Gordon) Here we go.

The crust is the backbone
to this entire fruit tart.

If the crust isn't good,

the rest of it is gonna
stink also,

so I need to get the crust in
as quickly as possible.

Your top bases
should be in the oven by now.

Josh, let's go.

Come on.
I'm looking at Josh.

It looks like
he's moving too slow.

Come on, what's going on?

It should have been in
20 minutes ago.

Come on, get it
in the oven, please.

I'm worried right now

because I should have had
my pastry crust done,

but I took a little bit
too much time

cutting exotic fruit.

(Gordon)
I'm nervous for Josh now.

Rolling out his pastry,
it was crumbling apart.

It was a little bit
like patchwork.

It looked like some Jigsaw.

Ryan's crust,
on the other hand...

Looks perfect. (Gordon)
Looks amazing.

Really amazing.

It's really gonna
come down to the wire.

I'm just hoping
it gets to cook through,

and hopefully, it's done.

This has to be the best dish
I ever made in this kitchen,

otherwise I'm going back home,

and that's not
what I want to do.

Exactly 15 minutes to go.

Come on.

Where's your crust?

My crust is in the oven.

It's not cooked yet?

Uh, probably,
like, ten more minutes.

How are you gonna
cool it in time?

[Sighs] That's the question.

(Gordon) 80 minutes gone

and 10 minutes to go.

(Announcer)
Tonight, Josh and Ryan

are going head-to-head
in a bid to return

to the Masterchef kitchen.

You should start putting
these tarts together.

(Announcer)
In a blind taste test,

the six remaining contestants

will judge which fruit tart
is the best,

and the winner will join them
back in the competition.

This is the first time

the winner tonight
is out of our hands.

(Gordon) I mean, it's
going in to the palates

of the six remaining
contestants.

They don't know whose is whose.

This is purely based
on that slice of tart

that's in front of them.

It's looking good.

I just got a little patch
right there,

but it'll set, and it'll cool.

My hands are shaking right now,

and I'm having a hard time

maneuvering these small fruits.

This is a pretty
delicate thing to do,

and I'm not
the most delicate of people.

Well, my tart
is way better than his.

I just gotta
let it cool off some.

Seven minutes left.
I gotta go.

Most technical cook
out there right now is Josh,

but, I mean,
Ryan looks in front.

(Joe) 100%,

just on his management
of the fruit.

He's using whole berries.
Very classic.

Josh's mistakes
are so grave at this point.

I mean,
this is a bad spot to be in.

(Gordon) If Josh pulls this off

with the exotic fruit,

think about the textures.
I mean, he could nail it.

60 seconds to go!

Come on!

(Graham)
Finishing touches, guys.

You need to knock
your opponent out

to stay
in this competition, guys.

Josh, concentrate on yours.

Here we go.

Ten... Nine...

Eight... Seven...

Six... Five...

Four... Three...

Two... One...

And stop.

[Exhales] Wow.

Now...

Very carefully,

bring the tarts down

to the front bench, please.

Oh, wow.
Look at that.

I'm looking down at my dish
and I'm thinking,

I have a real clear shot
at winning this,

and the dream to get
my cooking school started

is real, and I literally
have a shot at it.

Nice.

I've always dreamed
of opening up

my own food cart
in New York City,

and I know that if I win
this challenge,

I think I can win it all.

How do you feel?

Feeling great.
Good.

(Gordon) Two individual
tarts from here.

We all think they both
look good, let me tell you.

Very carefully,

slice your fruit tarts

and present
six stunning slices.

This is crucial now.
(Graham) Yeah.

I mean, the baking's
half of it,

putting it together,
now being able

to cut into it.

If that fruit is too hard,
it compresses...

The pastry cream,
and it just helps to split.

(Graham) Doesn't matter
how sharp your knife is.

(Gordon) No.

Two very good first slices.

Ryan was clearly
the underdog coming in,

but it doesn't look
like that to me anymore.

Now...

Your six slices will be served

to our judges.

Sit patiently
and await your fate.

Good job, both of you.

What's the color of the crust?

It's, like,
a light golden brown.

Light golden brown?
Okay.

I'm a little nervous
about doing the taste test

because I know that
two people's futures

depend on a decision
that I have input with.

Fruit tart's
actually my favorite dessert.

I eat a lot of it.
I'm, you know,

a pretty good judge
of them at home,

so why not judge them
in Masterchef kitchen?

(Announcer) The top six contestants
have been given the task

of judging which fruit tart
is best,

based purely
on presentation and taste.

They're both pretty nice.

And it looks like there's
some better knife work

on this one.

The pastry cream's pretty nice.

It's really close.

I'm not fond
of the maraschino cherries.

I think it's a little strange
to use that in a fruit tart.

Maraschino cherries, man,
might get you.

I think they might get me
to the next round.

I think it might get you
back to New York City.

It's not cooked fully,

and then, once you cut it...

There's no--
it doesn't make any noise.

It's like bread.

This one,

nice crust.

It's falling apart though.

I love the visual on this tart.

I think the knife cuts
are beautiful,

and I love the combination
of tropical fruit.

On this tart, I did care
for the pastry cream,

and you can tell there was
a lot of skill involved.

Hopefully, they make
the right decision,

and I can be here cooking
next week.

Hopefully, the better man
will win this one,

and the flavor elevator
will be rising

to the next level.

This one could have been
put together

with a little bit more finesse.

This one could be
a little bit more custard.

You got a little bit
of sweetness.

Not too much.

This one's definitely

a little bit sweeter.

I don't understand

some of the components on here.

I really don't want to go
back to New York City.

I feel like I have a lot
of unfinished business here

to take care of.

Oh, God.

(Ryan) In the infamous
words of tom petty,

the waiting
is the hardest part.

And it's pretty much unbearable
sitting there

with your entire future
hanging in the balance.

(Josh) This moment
is super intense.

You could just smell
the tension.

It's crazy.

(Ryan) I'm thinking
at this moment

that I do have the winning dish

and that I am
gonna pull this off.

Right there in that room
really lies

my existence
in this competition.

Hopefully, the judges
made the right decision.

(Announcer) The two
tarts have been judged,

and the results are in.

Thank you.

(Announcer) Josh and Ryan
are about to find out

which one of them
is back in the competition

to become America's
next Masterchef.

(Josh) I want this so bad.

They have no idea what
this means to me right now.

I'm just hoping for the best.

(Ryan) You never get
second chances like this.

It means the world to me.

I am ready to come back
with a vengeance.

(Gordon) Josh, Ryan...

The decision

has been made.

Congratulations to...

The six of you

have tasted and voted
individually

without knowing who made

which fruit tart.

Let's start with you, monti.

Which one did you prefer?

I think the tart
that was prepared

with the tropical fruit,

the knife cuts were beautiful,

the pastry cream
was obviously chilled well

before it was placed
on the tart,

and the tart itself was only

about 1/4 of an inch thick,

which is about as thick
as a tart shell should be.

Look at you.
I mean, it's like a dialogue

of a food critic
for the New York times.

Becky.

Visually,

which one had
the biggest impact?

I think the berry tart
had more visual impact

because it was
more delicately put together.

Interesting.

Now you're about to find out

who you have decided

will be coming back
to challenge you

in the biggest culinary
competition in the world.

I hope Ryan comes back in,

so I can send his ass back out.

If Josh comes back
into the competition,

I think he's gonna fight
tooth and nail

to get to the top
and do his very best

to knock us all out.

Six-zero.

Unanimous.

Returning with his
white Masterchef apron back on,

please welcome back...

(Gordon) Josh!

Y'all messed up now.

Oh, man, they have no idea
what's coming for them.

I cooked circles around Ryan,

and I'm more focused than ever.

(Ryan) I'd like to say to the
remaining seven contestants,

you're lucky they threw
another baking challenge at me.

But now, I really think
Josh will win

because anybody who could
take out the flavor elevator

deserves to be
the next Masterchef.

It's time
to tighten it up, guys.

You are in a serious battle.

Man, that kid
is not fussing around.

You can see it in his face.

This is gonna be fierce.

From here on in,
no more second chances.

(Gordon)
There can only be one...

Masterchef.

(Becky) Next time we
walk into that kitchen,

the gloves are off.

We're all bringing
our "a" game.

Josh, congratulations.

The remaining six cooks
should definitely fear me.

They want a challenge,
they're gonna get one.

Trust me.

(Announcer) Tomorrow
night, on Masterchef...

[Screams, laughs]

(Announcer)
Some pesky sea creatures

invade
the Masterchef kitchen...

Oh, God!

[Laughs] I'm so sorry!

What I hate the most
in a kitchen is anything

that can look at me
and plead for its life.

(Announcer) Followed by one of

the most brutal elimination
challenges of the season...

I feel like I've just
been run over by a bus.

Unedibly disgusting.

(Announcer) As one more
Masterchef hopeful says good-bye.

The time is done in Masterchef.
