Gordon: Previously
on "masterchef"...

Joe: Tonight you have
a team challenge.

Your future in this competition
depends on these people.

Nick was captain
for the red team,

michael for the blue.

Joe: It's time to
teach your teams

how to make a three-course
italian meal.

Yes! Let's go, blue!

The team that will be safe from
elimination is the red team.

Aarón: Blue team,
you have to prove

that some of you still deserve
to be in this kitchen.

Hey, nick! You have a very, very
important decision to make.

-Tonight...
- Switch!

...It's the elimination
challenge the home cooks

have been fearing all season.

It's the famous tag
team challenge.

- Oh, lord.
- Two of you will be going home.

When it says hell is a
burning lake of sulfur?

That is what the tag
team challenge is.

It's season ten. We're
taking it higher.

This challenge makes a
chef or breaks a chef.

- You're not ready to go home.
- No, I'm not!

- 3...
- This was the most chaotic

- thing I've ever experienced.
- 2...

Please respect our intelligence
and don't bring us crap.

- 1... - I haven't ever
witnessed something like this.

- Switch!
- ( screams )

( music playing )

let's go, blue team.

I was the captain
of the losing team,

and I do feel like I deserve
this elimination challenge.

I just have to trust today
in my ability to cook.

Blue team, this is the moment
that you all have been dreading.

Put those black aprons on.

Dorian:As frustrating
as it is for me

to be cooking for my life
with this black apron on,

I have to remember that
I'm here for a purpose.

And to make that choice
to leave your family,

to come out and
to follow a dream

is not easy to do.

So I'm going to
push through it.

Today, we want you
to work together

in teams of two in a
"masterchef" classic.

- Bring it, bring it. - It's time
for the famous tag team challenge.

Uh-oh.

Renee: Holy freaking crap.

When it says hell
is a burning lake

of freakin' sulfur?

That is what the tag
team challenge is,

and my butt is not going to
be down there and get burned.

In this challenge, you
either talk or you walk.

So, listen, because
tonight two of you

- will be going home.
- Wow.

You couldn't drop a
bigger bombshell.

I was not expecting that at all.

The judges, they're
setting the standard up.

Nick, because you were
the winning captain

of that incredible three-course
italian fine dining challenge,

you get to pair the eight
home cooks into teams of two.

Come and join us three
down here, please.

- All right.
- Oh! Moving up.

Having to decide the
fate of the blue team,

it's a huge decision to make,

and two people are
going home tonight.

The equation of this
pairing is in your hands.

Let's start off with sam.

Who would you put alongside sam?

Nick: I'm going to
put sam with shari.

- Shari. Wow.
- Yeah. Yeah.

I paired sam with shari because
they're both very soft-spoken people,

and success in the tag team
challenge requires communication.

Let's look at the
second pairing.

Who are you going to
place with dorian?

I want to stick her with subha.

- Oh, my god.
- No.

Subha, swap places
with noah, please.

- Dorian.
- Yes, chef?

- How are you feeling?
- It's sabotage.

I honestly think
that's sabotage.

But I understand it.
It's a competition.

Partnering with me is sabotage?

Where is the team spirit?

The only way that subha and I

will be able to beat this

is if subha can take
direction and ask questions.

Nick: Dorian, I think if subha

is managed correctly
in the kitchen,

he's probably one of the
strongest cooks here.

- Thank you.
- We'll see.

Subha, how are you
feeling right now?

I'm hoping that dorian and
I could work together.

Tonight, you got to
find your voice.

- Yes. Yes.
- Remember that.

Okay. So, noah.

After seeing the
first team challenge

of having sarah and
noah as captains,

I am really curious about
what the dynamic would be

if they were on a team, so I
want to put them together.

Wow.

Nick: Of all the
competitors here,

noah stands out
as the alpha male

and sarah stands out
as the alpha female.

And I think as a team
sarah and noah will clash

and go down right away.

- Alphas, baby.
- Gordon: So, our final team--

- michael, liz.
- Yep.

I want to see an intensity
from them tonight

that I don't think I've
seen yet in the kitchen.

Nick, head upstairs to the
safety of the balcony.

Thanks, nick.

( clears throat )

gordon: Smart picks. Well done.

Understand this, "masterchef" is the
world's favorite cooking competition.

It's aired across the world.

- And tonight...
- Ooh-la-la.

...You'll be cooking some
of our favorite dishes

from all of our sister shows.

From the philippine islands, a
beautiful pork spring roll.

From india, we have vegetable
samosas with a mint chutney.

From Italy, we have the
most amazing meatballs.

- From mexico...
-Orale.

We--

we have a beautiful fish
taco with pico de gallo.

From morocco, the most
amazing beef skewers.

And from china, the most
exquisite pork dumplings.

- Nice.
- Beautiful.

I'm scared to death because
I've eaten all of those foods,

but I've never made any of them.
I'm from the midwest.

We make plain chicken
and plain beef.

Tonight, each team will have to
replicate this exact platter.

But that's not quite enough.

- There's more.
- It's season ten.

So you also have to add one
more dish of your very own

to that platter.

Oh, come on.

Shari: Finding out we have to
add another item to this tray?

I'm already feeling
a bit defeated.

I have been on every
losing team so far,

and I hate leaving my fate
in other people's hands.

Right, all of you, please
head to your stations.

Noah: Me and sarah
being paired together

is a match made in heaven.
She's an alpha operator.

I know that when I need to get my ass
kicked in gear, she's going to do it.

When I'm going to
kick her ass in gear,

I'm going to yell
at her a little bit

because I don't kick women.
So, let's go.

On your stations you'll find
everything that you need

to make our around the world
platter of delicious bites.

You'll also have
access to our pantry

to make your seventh dishes.

Joe: So, take a
couple of minutes now

to discuss and go gather
your ingredients.

If we just do a lamb lollipop,
that'll get the lamb in there.

Immediately, I think we'll
have those flavors melding.

I was thinking more jerk, but let's go
with the lamb. I think that's perfect.

Okay, coconut coated
caribbean shrimp

with a little bit
of masala in it.

Listen, dorian's got an impression
that she makes that in her sleep.

There's indian food, that's what
subha's good-- they can do this.

I'm thinking I'm going
to grab a potato.

I'm going to grab something
to make a tater tot.

- We can make chips if we have to.
- Chips is weak.

We can do a really
( bleep ) slider.

I made this before.
It's delicious.

I can do a ponzu sauce
with a shrimp tempura.

- Yeah.
- It's just soy sauce,

a little bit of mirin
if I can find it,

and some orange and lemon juice.

Liz definitely does not
have as much experience

with international food as I do,

so it makes sense for me to
take a little bit of charge

to insure I don't go home.

Right, let's start
breaking away,

getting your ingredients.
Let's go.

Co on, hurry up.

Yes, y'all got it, guys!

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Oh, my god, it's already a mix.

Yeah, we won't need that much.

What else do you need?
Tell me what you need.

- I got all the lamb, so...
- Okay.

Sarah:I want to be
paired with noah

because if there's
anything that's important

with a tag team challenge,
it's constant communication.

Noah doesn't ever stop talking.

That will never be a problem.

- So we got everything.
- Yeah, we need a blender.

- I got it.
- That one. That one, too.

- This one?
- Yeah.

I absolutely do not
want to be with subha

because he does not work
good under pressure.

- Yeah.
- Subha, you sure that's everything?

Tamarind, tamarind, tamarind.

- Tamarind. I don't see--
- tamarind. No tamarind here?

- I don't see tamarind.
-And I'm scared that the bulk

of the responsibility
is going to fall on me.

We have perfect bib lettuce.

- And I did grab buns.
- We have tomatoes.

- I grabbed four buns.
- Is there mayonnaise?

- Let's go! Line up!
- We got to hurry, sam.

Shari: I'm worried. Sam and
I, we're both really nice.

I think I'm going to have to

just keep telling
him what to do next.

- Did you get shrimp, sam?
- I did get shrimp.

Truthfully, I think
sam's going to

have to do the same for me.

And if we don't
motivate one another,

we're going to run out of time.

Right, have we all got
everything we need?

- All: Yes, chef!
- Good.

Now, you'll each
take turns cooking.

If you're on the sidelines,
you're there to help.

If you're the one cooking,
listen to your teammate.

When we call "switch,"

you'll tag your
partner and swap out.

You'll have 75 minutes to
make all of your dishes.

Tonight, anything
less than excellence

and you might not be moving on.

Right, let's get into positions.

Those starting,
stay where you are.

Those finishing, onto
the side, please.

Wuta:This challenge either
makes a chef or breaks a chef.

There's no room for error.

You have to work
together as a team

or you may be going home.

- Is everybody ready?
- Yes, chef!

Your 75 minutes start...

- ...Now! Let's go.
- All right!

Your 75 minutes start...

- ...Now. Let's go.
- Come on, guys!

- All right, liz. Let's go.
- Come on, subha!

First you gotta get
those pots out.

Let's get those pots out, subha.

Let's go. Come on, let's go.

Pots are here, okay.

- Liz, quickly chop the garlic.
- Okay.

Move faster, move faster.

Doing great, sam. You got this.

The filipino spring roll I
want to get started on early

because I know exactly what
they're supposed to taste like.

My mother-in-law is filipino,
and she makes it all the time.

So this is something that I should
be able to knock out of the park.

Great knife skills. You got that.
Perfect.

Look at the knife work!
He's a ninja!

Like a boss.

Noah's starting, because
he's very good at prep.

He has amazing knife skills,

but I have better plating
skills than he does.

So we think it's just a nice way to
get us going quickly out of the gate.

Tonight is a big, big night,

because tag team challenge--
extremely difficult.

You gotta communicate,
you gotta be fast,

- you've got to close and finish.
- Absolutely.

Start with the potatoes, subha.
Use your peeler.

- Yes, yes. - You don't need to cut
them. There's no ends to a potato.

- Yes, okay. Got it, got it, got it!
- Okay, come on.

Subha's gonna start,
I'm gonna finish,

because subha gets
flustered with plating.

But out of the gate, he's
already wasting time.

So, how do you
prioritize this platter?

What's the most important
thing you start first?

For me, all the fillings need
to be addressed immediately,

so go for your samosa filling
with the potato mixture.

Gordon: There's an art in those, guys.
Difficult.

I'm gonna work on the meatballs.

Get that cheese in there.
You got this, sam.

Joe, the italian meatballs,
you've done them in your sleep.

- What's the secret behind them? - The longer
the meatballs stew in the tomato sauce,

the better they're gonna be. So the
sooner you can get those meatballs made

- fried, and into the sauce gives you
an advantage. - Yes, absolutely.

I'm gonna immediately start
making the filipino egg rolls.

We're gonna put a little bit
of the carrot in there.

Ooh, okay. Take a little back.
Yeah, there you go.

The filipino spring roll, it's
got that pork filling in there,

so the essence of that is making
sure they're not too thick.

- It's not easy.
- Just start these kabobs.

Cut it into squares.
Perfect squares.

- I'll prep the pepper! - Okay, it's
right there in front of you, subha.

- It's right there in front of you.
- Oh, there it is. Got it.

Now, the moroccan
inspired kabobs,

the secret there is you
have to have everything

in regiment form in terms
of the way it's cut.

One cube too small, too big,

then it's cooking at
different temperatures.

I'm gonna knock out the
dumplings and the stuffing.

How important are those potstickers,
getting the color on there?

Let me tell you, there is an
art, there's a finesse to it.

You can't have it overstuffed
and have it too loose

when it comes to the
actual amount of filling.

- You're doing great.
- Thank you, sarah.

You're doing great. I'm so
proud to be your teammate.

Subha, can you get the grills out
the oven and put 'em on top?

- What's that? Grill?
- Forget it. I'll do it.

Think about the size of the
taco when you cut that.

- That's too big, though.
- What's that?

- Trim it down, quick, quick, quick.
- Yep.

- The taco?
- What I would like to do

is actually take those
strips of fish,

marinate it with
sufficient time,

make your tortillas
and let them sit,

- and then address the mango salsa later.
- Right.

- They are making seven dishes.
- Bri: It's crazy.

I never made a samosa before.

- Hey, salt, salt, salt, salt.
- Yep.

Gordon: Thirty seconds
to go until we swap.

- Let's go!
- You know samosas, subha.

- Yes, I'm doing it.
- You have to move with a sense of urgency.

Move like you're
in a restaurant.

Wait, wait one second.

I need those meatballs
rolled and in the sauce

before you get out
of your station.

- Too big?
- A little big. Take a little bit out.

- I'm gonna-- yeah.
- What are you gonna work on next?

I'm gonna get the marinara going
'cause it's gonna take time to cook.

- All right, we're communicating. We
got this. - Noah: We're doing good.

We're gonna be switching
in just a few seconds.

- Good job, sam.
- Aarón: Here we go.

Talk to me when I'm
in there, okay?

Judges: Five, four,
three, two, one.

- And switch!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- Noah: Okay, sarah.
- Michael: I love it.

Michael, watch the meatballs.
Watch the meatballs.

All right, nice looking meatballs.
Who formed the meatballs?

Liz got those meatballs formed.

What is your seventh
dish gonna be?

We're doing a classic
shrimp tempura

with our homemade ponzu sauce.

So I gotta get working on
these sauces really soon.

All right, make sure you taste
as much as you can, okay?

Got it, yep.

- I'm worried for them.
- Yeah.

Okay, get the meatballs
in the sauce.

- They gotta get in there sooner rather
than later. - Got it. You got it.

- Right, how are you feeling?
- Feeling okay.

Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?

Right now, we have the sauce
for the meatball going,

and we have the
meatball almost made.

It's not quite there yet.

The seventh dish.
What is the dish?

Lucky number seven, we're
gonna go with a slider.

Okay, so, just make sure that
we don't leave each other,

- when we swap out, a problem.
- Yes, chef.

- Not on the same page, you're going home.
- Yes, chef.

- Let's go.
- Shari, how are we doing on samosas?

We're-- I'm getting
it started right now.

Shari and sam, y'all
kick it in the butt.

What do we need to
do for the marinade?

Subha, right now I'm doing
the stuffing for the--

- meatballs, correct. Got it.
- No, not for the meatballs.

- Okay.
- I will be fuming if she goes home.

Micah: Subha's not doing
anything of actual use.

You should know what needs
to happen on this dish.

Dorian, talk to me. Tell
me what's in the mind.

( sighs ) I can't look at you.
Just come on.

Not what she's doing, subha. Think
about what you're gonna do.

Wuta: Dorian, you got this.

30 seconds to go until
we switch, guys.

Gotta outrun the bear here,
sarah, but we are the bear.

Stand by!

Judges: Five, four,
three, two, one.

- Switch! Let's go!
- Switch!

All right, go ahead. All
right, you got this.

Come on, guys, you got this.

Nice brunoise.

Remember, I don't know
what any of that means.

- Happy to be safe up here.
- Yeah.

We gotta get the
slider marinated,

otherwise that is not gonna
have that flavor we need.

Gordon: Just under 45 minutes to go.
Let's go, guys.

Great job, sam.
You're doing awesome.

- I'm so proud of you right now.
- Shari, what a good coach.

It smells awesome. Smell it.

- That smells really good.
- Smells awesome. Yeah.

All right, what's
going on, guys?

- You guys talking?
- Yes, chef. Absolutely, chef.

All right, so you got--
meatballs are cooking.

- Yes, chef.
- That's done. All right, great.

What is your seventh
dish going to be?

We're gonna be doing a lollipop.

Who's taking control here? You
guys are two strong voices.

We're melding really nicely.
I feel very calm.

- No one's dominant?
- Just move with purpose.

All right, you just need
three portions, guys.

- Don't go crazy. That's enough.
- Yes, chef. All right.

We're done with that.
Get rid of the ricer.

Subha, subha. Subha.
It's an egg roll, subha.

- Subha, it's an egg roll.
- This is the egg roll?

Set it aside. I'll get
it when I get up there.

I'm gonna dump the
peas in there now.

No, we're not worrying about the
peas right now for the samosa.

Subha's not listening.
He's not hearing me.

I'm trying to give him direction,
but he's all over the place.

Cut it up into cubes, remember?

- Okay, okay.
- The cubes for the kabobs, remember that?

- Yes, yes, yes. - Okay, so cut that
meat into cubes for me, please.

Cut that meat into cubes.

( screams )

- ( bleep )
- dorian:I was a young mom,

I've had to work a ton
of different jobs.

I've struggled hard to get here.

And I don't know if subha
really wants to still be here.

I feel like the weight is
totally and completely on me.

- Do you know how to make a meatball?
- Sorry, wait?

Do you know how to make
an italian meatball?

- Uh, no.
- You don't.

Ooh, I'm so mad right now.

Last 30 seconds.
Get ready, guys.

Put a pinch. Just
a little pinch.

Judges: Five, four,
three, two, one.

- Switch! Let's go!
- Switch!

- Micah: Come on, dorian!
- Gordon: Let's go!

Come on, dorian! Come
on, you can do this!

- You got it, girl.
- Relax, focus.

Don't need to be
nervous, I'm right here.

I'm not nervous 'cause
you're right here.

Everything is copacetic.

Copacetic, we got this.

Communication right out
of the gate is flawless.

We are firing on all cylinders.

Turbo, nos, we're boosting.

That looks perfect.
That's dead on.

( bleep )

come on, subha!
Speak up, help her.

I don't know what she's doing.
Dorian?

You don't know what she's doing?

Wow. Wow.

I'm making meatballs!

- ( bleep )
- okay, okay. All right.

Let's go.

- ( bleep ) - okay, listen,
not the best start.

- No.
- ( exhales )

I've seen you in the
trenches before.

- Yes, chef.
- You've got this. Come on, dig deep.

What you need to do now, hey,
is take him under your wing.

Okay, deep breath, okay?

- ( sobs ) - come on, you're
not ready to go home.

No, I'm not!

Dorian, dorian, let's
do it-- come on.

Oh, god.

I've seen you in the
trenches before.

- Yes, chef.
- You're not ready to go home.

No, I'm not!

Let's prioritize what
needs to be done, okay?

- Think about everything you
sacrificed to be here. - Yes, I did.

- Now just think, think how
important it is. - Yes.

- Okay, take control.
- Yes, chef. Yes, chef.

- Good girl. Welcome back. Well done.
- Thank you.

Dorian: Chef gordon is right.

I have to stay calm

and not let my emotions
get the best of me.

And I want to show
the judges my best.

Dorian, you've got this!

Micah: You are strong, dorian!

As soon as I jump in, finishing
the lollipops, cutting them?

Do you know how-- no, don't.
I got it.

All right.

I came into "masterchef"
on a lamb dish.

I cook it a lot at home.

It's my husband's
favorite dish,

but it's taking a lot of time,

and that's making
me really nervous.

Sorry, just-- I'll tell you
what, just let that rest.

- Check the meatballs. - I'm gonna check
it. I'm gonna put some on, though.

Okay, I think we're beyond testing.
We just gotta plow through.

- All right.
- Hello, joe. How are you?

All right, sam. Don't shut down, sam.
Keep talking.

- Hi, chef aarón.
- Where are these meatballs?

The meatballs, we have
the mix right here

and we've already fried it up.

- You haven't made them yet?
- Those are gonna get made here soon.

Meatballs do better when
they sit in the sauce.

When they get in the sauce, yes.

I think they're a
little behind here.

Shari: We're so behind.

Our time is our worst
enemy right now.

And being here, this
is a dream for me.

I know I can cook, but
I doubt myself a lot,

and tonight is not the
night I want to go home.

Did you marinade the fish yet?

Um, we have thmarinade done,

but it is not quite
marinated yet.

All right, here's
the deal, guys,

try to get all of
your fillings done,

get your stuff
marinating, all right?

- Thank you.
- All right.

Come on, shari!

We're coming up to 90 seconds
to go until the next switch.

Come on. Let's go.
( gordon claps )

this has not nearly
enough ( bleep ).

There's already salt in there.

I just think they need a little
tiny dust of cumin on the outside.

Not too much. It's strong.

Stand by!

Dorian, spring rolls, I'll
come back and do that.

- No, no.
- Dorian, it's okay.

- No, subha, don't worry about this.
- Yes, okay.

- Gordon: Here we go.
- Looking good, sarah.

Judges: Five, four,
three, two, one.

Switch! Let's go!

Get over there and
taste that meat.

Tell me what to do, all right?

Come on, come on.
Drop-- sarah, drop.

- Taste that for seasoning, sam.
- Okay, okay, okay.

This is intense. This is the craziest
thing I've ever seen in my life.

I haven't ever witnessed
something like this.

Pinch the sides. Pinch
everything so it doesn't open.

- Move faster, move faster.
- Just take a deep breath, come on.

Michael: We're
getting super behind.

We haven't even started
our seventh dish yet,

and I'm really
frustrated right now

because I feel like all of this
is resting on my shoulders.

Leave it to rest like that.
Move on to the next one.

- Subha, start doing-- start doing-- subha.
- Yes?

The shrimp only take
seconds to cook.

We don't have to
do that right now.

- Finish your samosa. Finish your samosas.
- Yes, okay. I got it.

Set that other stuff aside.

Subha and dorian's team,
like, it's stressing me out

- too much to even go there.
- I can't even look.

Dorian and subha, it's like watching
your parents go through a divorce.

It's pretty terrifying.

I don't want to use this one.

Subha! Come on!

I don't need to know
where the ricer is.

Right, you need to focus on your strengths.
What's your strengths?

My strengths is to make the samosas.
I'm making them now.

The samosas. That's exactly
what you need to do, okay?

- Yes, absolutely. - Who showed you
how to make the perfect samosa?

- My mom and my sister. - And your sister,
so you know what you're doing now, yeah?

- Absolutely. - Start thinking
about that seventh dish as well.

- What is the dish? - We're gonna make
a coconut crusted caribbean shrimp.

I know we're behind, but we
can pull this back, okay?

- Yes, absolutely.
- Come on, guys, you've got this.

- Let's go, focus. - I'll work on
the sauce right after this, okay?

I don't know how to
crimp these, do you?

Kinda. I can do it, I can do it.

Sarah: You're looking good,
you're looking great.

- We got this. - 60 seconds
to go until we swap!

Just get that ready for me.
I'll do it.

- Here we go.
- Give me one second here.

Don't make a career out
of it, just hurry up.

- This gives a nice little bite.
- I don't care what it gives it.

- I just want it to be done.
- Come on, subha! Yes!

Judges: Five, four,
three, two, one.

- Switch!
- Let's go!

Now I'm doing it all by my damn self.
What the ( bleep )?

Now crimp it. There you go.
Roll your finger, crimp it.

Perfect, sarah.

So, dorian, you want me
to just boil them, right?

They don't get boiled,
subha, they get fried.

Dear, oh, dear. Subha and
dorian are a disaster.

Subha could drag her out
of this kitchen tonight.

Liz and michael, way behind.

They're in jeopardy
of not making it.

These are wrong. I
gotta do it again.

- Oh, goodness.
- ( bleep )

shari and sam may not be able

- to complete all seven preparations.
- Shari, at the next switch,

- I'm gonna grill the fish and
grill the beef. - Okay, sam.

They're literally, like, a whole
step behind everyone else.

More importantly, noah and sarah,
they've just put the lamb on the grill,

and I don't know if that
will be cooked in time.

Noah: Little bit of salt,
little bit of pepper.

I'll be throwing the
flavor on it as we go.

40 seconds till the next switch!

( bleep ). We need
to make the tacos.

We might need to call an
aible with the slider.

At this point, we realize
our seventh dish,

it's out the window.
We're not doing it.

There you go. Dump
it and fry it.

Renee: Good job, michael!

( snickers )

come on, honey. That's it.
That's it. Perfect.

- This is it.
- Yeah, you can roll those suckers.

Start getting things
in the fryer.

- Here we come.
- I'll finish them, dorian.

- Dorian, don't worry.
- Judges: Three, two, one.

The taco? Don't
worry about that.

Switch!

I'm actually gonna
have a stroke.

Marinate as we go. We'll
marinate as we go.

- Get the other skewers on there.
We are so behind. - I know.

- Liz, go, go, go, go, go!
- Michael: Flip those over.

Flip 'em over. We just
gotta get it cooked.

Put the samosa in.

- What's he doing?
- Put the basket in. Please, lord jesus.

Keturah: Subha, do the samosa!

- I will get the tacos.
- Okay, all right.

- Subha, leave the tortilla.
- Subha, you're not listening!

Why doesn't he listen?

I absolutely know what I'm
doing in the kitchen.

I've been cooking for 30 years.

But I can't do that
when somebody's coming

back on my neck and shouting
things which I know how to do.

( bleep ) take it off, subha.

- Put it in the form.
- Okay, hold on. Hold on.

Subha, take it off! You
still got it on the heat.

- It's done.
- Okay, hold on.

- It's very thick.
- No, I'm not gonna hold on.

We got six minutes
and four seconds.

- It's very thick.
- Put it in the form, subha.

Subha, put the
tortilla in the form.

Okay, you want me to
put in the form--

oh, ( bleep )!

Subha! Jeez!

Subha, put the
tortilla in the form.

Okay, you want me to
put in the form--

oh, ( bleep )!

- What happened?
- The one tortilla we had,

- he dropped.
- Oh, no.

- 45 seconds to go!
- Wow.

I'm really nervous for
dorian right now.

Really nervous.

My wig is about to come off.

I don't want her to leave
over subha's lack of ability.

Subha, you are not listening.

- I was-- I'm gonna fix this.
- You're not listening.

- Don't shout.
- You're not listening.

I caused a little bit of drama.

15 seconds to go until
the last switch.

Just get 'em out
if they're done.

- They look good.
- Oh, my god.

Come on, those look good.
Those look great. Come on!

Throw that here on the side. Come on,
come on. Throw that here, the lid.

- Throw the lid off.
- You might need to tell me--

it's fine, it's fine,
it's fine, it's fine.

Drop 'em in, all three.

All: Three, two, one, switch!

Gordon: Last five
minutes, let's go!

Dorian, take over! Come
on, you can do this!

Look awesome, they
didn't explode.

That's what we're talking about!

For right now, I don't have
time to do them fancy.

No, just get them in.
It's about the flavor.

Two minutes and 30 seconds left!

Dorian, let's go! You
ain't going home.

- Mangoes. Mangoes and-- - I'm not
worried about no ( bleep ) mangoes.

Shari, shari, one taco's
better than nothing.

- Start plating some food, guys!
- Let's go.

Shari, plate the meatballs and
grate some cheese on top.

The dumpling, michael.
Get those in there.

- Yeah. - Set the tortilla in the
mold. Set the tortilla in the mold.

One minute, 15 seconds left.

- I can't watch any of it.
- How long do those take?

It doesn't matter. I gotta
get 'em on the plate.

Wonderful, put it on the plate.
Just put it on the plate!

Liz: You got it, michael! Come
on, you got it. Good job.

Subha: Meatball on
the brown plate.

Yeah, meat on the brown plate.

Meat on the brown plate.
You've got time.

- Just put it on the plate.
- Hustle, hustle, hustle.

- Twenty seconds to go!
- Finishing touches!

Wuta: Finish strong,
finish strong.

Liz: We got it, michael.
We got it.

- Shari: Your sauces?
- Liz: You got it.

Noah: Let's make it pretty!
Dress the plate.

Parmesan all over
the damn meatball!

Come on, come on, come on.

Don't forget the
salsa on the shrimp.

- Where is it?
- On this. Sorry.

Dorian, put the
fish on the tacos.

Plate the fish.
Dorian, the fish!

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

- Six, five, four, three...
- What else, sam? What else?

White vinegar. A yogurt sauce.
It's okay.

- ...Two, one, stop!
- Hands in the air.

Jamie: Dorian, I'm
proud of you, darling!

- Huh?
- We're ( bleep ).

- Everything's on the plate.
- Dorian, you did your best.

Dorian, look at the other teams.
Dorian, we did awesome.

Dorian: It's hard putting your
fate in somebody else's hands,

and I'm better than what's
being presented to the chefs,

and I always want to
give them my best.

And today I don't feel as
though they're getting my best.

Gordon: Wow, tag team challenge?

That was a tag team meltdown!

Let's taste what's
on those platters

and find out who's cooked
for the last time.

First up, michael and liz.

- Want to take it together?
- No, I'm just gonna--

I'm nervous 'cause I'm worried about
the final cooks on our dishes.

Working with
michael, it was hard,

and what broke down
was the communication.

We have to judge you
on what you give us.

- Right.
- And when you look in there...

- It's raw.
- It's not even seared.

That's dangerous. When it's not
right, you don't serve it.

Samosas.

What happened to those?

Look at that. I've got all
that raw dough in there.

You don't need to take the
potatoes so fine to mush.

- Yeah.
- Who didn't crimp these?

I did. I did not, I should say.

And why are they sat in this oil?
What is that?

- It's a sesame oil.
- ( sniffs )

I just got this oil
explosion of sesame seed

that has absolutely
numbed my jaw.

In fact, right now, I
could take a seat,

and pretend I'm at the ( bleep
) dentist, it's that numb.

All, right, I'm gonna start
with this spring roll

'cause this looks a little
bit more promising.

Who took the lead on that one?

I made the filling and I
rolled it and I fried it.

Here's the deal, it's over,
over-saturated with the aromatics.

- It's really strong.
- Okay.

All right, skewer dish.

The seasoning is unbalanced.

- It's just really far off the mark.
- This is brutal.

All right, tell me
about these meatballs.

Liz: So just ground
beef, garlic, panko.

You didn't use egg
either, right?

- No, joe.
- Jeez.

You didn't use egg
either, right?

- No, joe.
- Jeez.

The meatballs are really
hard, really dry,

really difficult to eat.

And the seventh additional
platter was what?

Michael: We did a shrimp tempura

with a spicy chili
dipping sauce.

- And the chili sauce?
- Sriracha, soy, and pepper and salt.

I wish you would've omitted the sauce.
It is so strong.

Joe: You can't come up here
and fake it and put sriracha

or just soy sauce in a thing
and tell us it's a sauce.

Please respect our intelligence
and don't bring us crap.

- Thank you.
- Wow.

- Wow.
- Thank you, chefs.

Michael: I'm disappointed.

We just didn't come
through as a team today.

I've worked really
hard to be here.

I'm not ready to
go home right now.

Next up, noah and sarah.

- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.

Sarah: It was great
working with noah.

It was a very 50-50 workload,

and I felt like we communicated
very well together.

But there are parts of every
dish that I'm concerned about.

For me, it's a bit of a mess.

Both: Yes, chef.

Gordon: Seventh dish was what?

Noah: Chinese vinegar
lamb lollipop.

Mine was cooked beautifully.

What you've done is
charred them beautifully,

so I feel like I got
a grilled lamb chop.

- Thank you, chef.
- Good job.

- Who filled the samosa?
- I did, chef.

- So, it's nice and full. Did you taste it?
- Both: Yes, chef.

I put a little bit more salt than I
normally would. Hopefully it's right.

- It's good.
- Thank you, chef.

- Who made the dumpling?
- Sarah: I made the dumpling.

- Who seasoned the mix inside?
- Noah flavored the filling.

So, it needs a dipping sauce.
There's no dipping sauce.

But the actually
seasoning's on point.

Thank you, chef.

All right, so, noah,
sarah, spring rolls.

Well, the meat looks
cooked through.

Good flavor. And now we're
gonna go on to taco.

What'd you season the fish with?

Cumin, paprika, salt, pepper.

It's not complete. It needs,
obviously, the mango salsa,

but I think the taco is a good
representation of what it should be.

All right, so, I'll
start with the skewers.

- Who cooked them?
- It was 50-50.

All right, this is actually
a pretty good medium rare.

Was there any seasoning
put on them?

A little bit of vinegar
just at the end.

The char on the meat's good.

As a simple steak, it's okay.

- Meatballs.
- Sarah: I made the meatballs.

How long did they simmer
in the tomato sauce for?

- About 12 minutes?
- Yeah.

If you had, like, 45 minutes,

it would've raised the
level considerably.

- Both: Yes, joe.
- Thank you.

Thank you all, so much.

- Good job, guys.
- Not bad.

( whispers ) much
better than I thought.

Dorian, subha, let's go, please.

- Go grab it.
- This is the tasting

that we're all waiting for.

Dorian: I'm feeling defeated,

and I just hope that
the judges see that

in the midst of the chaos
that we are great cooks

and we want to be here.

What on earth happened?

He just gets flustered
under pressure.

I would have to run in and get us
caught up, and then he would check out.

From the beginning, we
went in with the attitude,

that, you know, we
were going to fail.

So when you have this
spiral attitude...

Who went in with that attitude.
"we're going to fail"?

- Was that dorian?
- As soon as we started,

she got emotional,
she started to cry.

So, you were positive
and she was negative.

- Yes.
- Wow.

Let's be honest, you two aren't gonna
be opening a restaurant together.

- No.
- But you can work together for 75 minutes.

Both: Yes, chef.

I'm amazed you've got
that on a plate.

Visually, you've got
some great colors there.

But there's one big
achilles heel here.

- The fish.
- Fish.

It's a mess.

- So, samosas, who stuffed them?
- I did, chef.

They look like a proper samosa.

The seasoning's nice.
Really good.

- Who made the potstickers?
- I did, chef.

- Finally a potsticker colored
on both sides. - Yeah, perfect.

Aarón: Yeah.

- That's delicious.
- There's no sauce, though, huh?

- No sauce.
- Too bad. Really good.

Aarón: Who took the lead
on the spring rolls?

I did, chef.

The pork's cooked through.

I like the speckle
of herbs there.

The skewers. You've got
peppers, you've got red onions.

Very nice medium rare.
Good char.

I think it's the first one
that actually got the marinade

onto the piece that
we're tasting.

This actually came
out very nicely.

- What's the meatball recipe?
- Ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, eggs.

- Only beef you used?
- Only beef. Salt and pepper.

The marinara sauce with the
grana padano's delicious.

- Who made that? Perfectly spiced.
- I did.

The seventh dish, describe it.

Subha: It's a caribbean shrimp

with some indian
spices mixed in.

It does look good.

- It actually tastes quite decent.
- Yeah, very good.

That spice is really good.
What'd you spice them with?

Garam masala, some
smoked paprika,

some cayenne pepper,
salt, and pepper.

Joe and gordon: Thank you.

- How did that happen?
- This flavor and the seasoning

of certain things is so good.

What are you waiting
for, a glass of wine?

- Oh, we're done.
- Thank you, chef.

- Keep your heads up, guys.
- Good job.

- Nice job.
- Good job, guys!

Subha:I'm amazed that
considering all the chaos,

we put out good
quality, tasty food,

which the judges love to eat.

Sam, shari, let's go.

Shari: This was the most chaotic
thing I've ever experienced,

and I have two
little kids at home

that are constantly running at
my feet as I'm trying to cook.

I feel like this
tray is doomsday.

75 minutes for that.

I think you both are
strong individuals,

but as a team, diabolical.
Who cooked the samosa?

I believe you threw
it in the fryer.

I did the seasoning
and the shaping.

The seasoning's on point.
Absolutely on point. Really good.

- Thank you, chef.
- Refreshing.

- Potstickers, who cooked these?
- Sam: I did, chef.

- How long did you cook these for?
- About five minutes, chef.

( bleep )

- ( bleep )
- what is that?

- Raw.
- It's completely raw.

( bleep )

- what is that?
- It's completely raw, chef.

You feel confident with the
cook on this spring roll?

Well, after, you know,
the potstickers, no.

- Joe: They got it cooked?
- Yeah.

Here's the deal, apart from
their looking atrocious,

the flavor of the filling
is actually really good.

And now we're gonna
go on to taco.

It's just missing
fruit, missing acid.

- Understood, chef.
- I'm sorry, chef.

What was the recipe
on the meatball?

It was 50-50 beef and pork.

I put some egg in, some
grana padano cheese,

some parsley, salt, pepper.

This is actually
very good, except--

how long did it stew
in the tomato sauce?

15 minutes?

That's not enough. Too bad.

There's no sauce on
the beef skewers?

- Correct.
- You didn't get to it?

- Mm-mm.
- No, chef.

Aside from being one-dimensional
because you only put peppers,

the cook on the beef is actually
pretty good, but incomplete.

And where's our bonus dish?

We didn't get to it, joe.

- Man.
- Oh.

Joe: The flavors
are actually good,

so it's a whole bunch of
stuff that has potential,

but is incomplete.

- Too bad. Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you.

Sam: We failed.

We didn't execute the
way we should have.

And there was supposed
to be a seventh dish

that we didn't even do.

We need a moment to discuss.

I think noah and
sarah came on point.

They had one of the
most together platters,

but the best eating was dorian
and subha in terms of spice.

Joe: You actually can taste
subha's contribution.

I'm more in shock with
michael and liz and sam.

- Aarón: Yeah, me too.
- Joe: And shari.

There's the big no-nos
for me tonight,

with the raw pork wrapped up.

- That's a disaster.
- Raw fish.

Where you do self-edit and
say, "this is not right."

this challenge tonight was
incredibly difficult,

and tonight's
performances shows.

With that said, two
individuals will be leaving

the masterchef kitchen tonight.

Noah and sarah,

you guys were far
from great tonight,

but far better than the
rest of the bunch.

And for that, you're safe.

- Woman: Good job, you guys.
- Yeah.

Woman: Good job.

Noah: I couldn't be happier.

We were a wolfpack

getting what we needed to get,

moving with purpose.

Dorian and subha...

Complete dysfunctional teamwork,

but in the food itself,

we tasted good
spicing, good flavors.

We decided...

To keep you in the competition.

Please head to the balcony.

Dorian: I worked my tail off.

We didn't do it as beautifully

and as calculated
as we wanted to,

but we got it done.

Right, you four make your way
down, please. Thank you.

Liz: I'm nervous because I've
been in the same business

for 35 years doing
the same thing.

But this whole
entire experience,

it's given me that
second chance.

I'm finally following
something that I want

to do for myself, and
it's too soon to leave.

All four of you
fell apart tonight.

Shari and sam, step
forward, please.

Sam, shari, some
fundamental flaws,

but a couple of highlights.

Head upstairs.

Hey, come on.

Michael, liz,

everything left to
the last minute.

Raw fish, a meatball that
you could play golf with.

By far, your worst performances.

This one hurts for me personally 'cause I
think you guys have so much potential,

and I just think this particular
challenge overwhelmed you.

Michael and liz, you've cooked for the
last time in the masterchef kitchen.

Come up here and say
good-bye, please.

Michael:To make it to the
top 16 of "masterchef"?

It was an honor
and a privilege,

and this is an experience
I'll never forget.

Gordon: Please put your
aprons on top of your bench.

- I love you, liz!
- Take care, and head home. Thank you.

Liz:It's sad. I want
to stay till the end,

but I came into the masterchef
kitchen to learn about myself,

to grow, and I did that.

- It was a blast out there, michael.
- A hundred percent.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye, guys!

- Bye, everyone!
- Have fun!

- Time to go home.
- I know, right?

Give me a hug.
