1
00:00:03,579 --> 00:00:06,548
This season on "MasterChef,"
everything has changed.
2
00:00:09,551 --> 00:00:12,688
Because this season,
the judges do battle.
3
00:00:12,722 --> 00:00:17,192
Every home cook we bring here
to the MasterChef kitchen...
4
00:00:17,226 --> 00:00:20,562
Is competing
for a MasterChef white apron.
5
00:00:23,098 --> 00:00:25,935
Each of us have
just eight aprons.
6
00:00:25,968 --> 00:00:29,672
Just eight chances to find
America's next MasterChef.
7
00:00:31,841 --> 00:00:34,543
And if a judge chooses a home
cook to wear one of our aprons...
8
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:37,813
We become their mentor.
9
00:00:37,847 --> 00:00:41,450
- ( Cheering ) - There are
thousands of hopeful home cooks.
10
00:00:41,483 --> 00:00:44,720
( Crowd chanting ) MasterChef!
11
00:00:44,754 --> 00:00:46,121
Gordon:
Those that make the cut...
12
00:00:46,155 --> 00:00:48,090
- Wow!
- Oh, my goodness!
13
00:00:48,123 --> 00:00:49,424
...will soar...
14
00:00:49,458 --> 00:00:51,226
- Whoo!
- You guys look great!
15
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:52,795
...to new heights...
16
00:00:52,828 --> 00:00:55,330
Are those people? Oh, my God!
17
00:00:55,364 --> 00:00:57,232
Woman:
They're landing for dinner!
18
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:59,468
- ( Horn honking )
- ...they'll feel the heat...
19
00:00:59,501 --> 00:01:00,903
Whoa! It's burning.
20
00:01:00,936 --> 00:01:03,438
...as they cook
for American heroes...
21
00:01:03,472 --> 00:01:06,075
- Aarón: Don't let these firefighters down.
- Let's go, guys!
22
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:08,243
...run five-star restaurants...
23
00:01:08,277 --> 00:01:10,579
- Where's the beef?
- I need some entrées now.
24
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:13,615
...and cater all-star events.
25
00:01:13,649 --> 00:01:17,152
I'm honored to declare you
husband and wife.
26
00:01:17,186 --> 00:01:18,688
Along the way,
27
00:01:18,721 --> 00:01:22,858
we as mentors will face
tough decisions.
28
00:01:22,892 --> 00:01:24,459
What happened?
29
00:01:24,493 --> 00:01:26,361
The home cook
that I would send home
30
00:01:26,395 --> 00:01:28,764
is wearing an apron
that I gave them.
31
00:01:28,798 --> 00:01:32,167
But we'll experience some of
the most spectacular dishes...
32
00:01:32,201 --> 00:01:33,969
This is a home run.
33
00:01:34,003 --> 00:01:36,271
...the MasterChef kitchen
has ever seen.
34
00:01:36,305 --> 00:01:38,473
This is the reason
I gave you an apron.
35
00:01:38,507 --> 00:01:41,176
Gordon: I was 100% correct
handing you that apron.
36
00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:42,678
You've been a perfect student,
37
00:01:42,712 --> 00:01:44,279
potentially America's
next MasterChef.
38
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:46,849
Three judges.
39
00:01:46,882 --> 00:01:48,818
Eight precious aprons.
40
00:01:50,219 --> 00:01:52,354
Just one MasterChef.
41
00:01:54,423 --> 00:01:56,926
Let the battle begin.
42
00:02:01,864 --> 00:02:04,867
( Music playing )
43
00:02:14,877 --> 00:02:16,478
( cheering and applause )
44
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:19,048
My name is Gerron,
and I'm an English teacher.
45
00:02:19,081 --> 00:02:20,850
My food is gonna
be the best food
46
00:02:20,883 --> 00:02:22,885
that Gordon Ramsay ever tasted.
So I expect
47
00:02:22,918 --> 00:02:24,153
nothing lower than an A plus.
48
00:02:24,186 --> 00:02:26,155
- Whoo!
- I am Olusola.
49
00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:27,823
I'm from Columbia,
South Carolina.
50
00:02:27,857 --> 00:02:29,825
I've been a bus driver
since I was 18 years old,
51
00:02:29,859 --> 00:02:32,361
but cooking food makes me feel
like I'm alive.
52
00:02:32,394 --> 00:02:33,562
I've daydreamed about cooking
53
00:02:33,595 --> 00:02:35,030
since I was six years old,
54
00:02:35,064 --> 00:02:36,431
but I've never
had an opportunity
55
00:02:36,465 --> 00:02:37,900
to follow my dream.
56
00:02:37,933 --> 00:02:39,034
I have to shine.
57
00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:40,936
Wow! My name is Farhan.
58
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,438
I live in Chicago, Illinois,
and I'm a dental student.
59
00:02:43,472 --> 00:02:45,274
I know mouths better
than anyone else.
60
00:02:45,307 --> 00:02:47,676
I know how to clean them
and I know how to feed them.
61
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,178
So, I wanna be the person
62
00:02:49,211 --> 00:02:51,013
that shows America
what Indian food is about.
63
00:02:51,046 --> 00:02:53,883
( Cheering and applause )
64
00:02:53,916 --> 00:02:55,250
Hello!
65
00:02:58,153 --> 00:02:59,889
Welcome to "MasterChef"!
66
00:02:59,922 --> 00:03:01,957
- I'm Gordon Ramsay.
- I'm Aarón Sánchez.
67
00:03:01,991 --> 00:03:03,458
And I'm Joe Bastianich.
68
00:03:03,492 --> 00:03:07,196
And trust me, we searched
all across America
69
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:08,931
for talented home cooks,
70
00:03:08,964 --> 00:03:11,466
and we found them:
71
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:12,968
You.
72
00:03:13,002 --> 00:03:14,436
Make no mistake.
73
00:03:14,469 --> 00:03:16,305
Winning "MasterChef" will unlock
74
00:03:16,338 --> 00:03:19,208
every culinary door
you've ever dreamed of.
75
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:22,577
And the winner will go home
76
00:03:22,611 --> 00:03:23,979
with a quarter of
a million dollars.
77
00:03:24,013 --> 00:03:26,048
( Cheering and applause )
78
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:28,417
Home cooks, it's a long road
79
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:31,887
to become America's
next MasterChef.
80
00:03:31,921 --> 00:03:36,725
And you don't even take one
tiny step on that journey
81
00:03:36,758 --> 00:03:39,494
unless you win one of these.
82
00:03:40,796 --> 00:03:44,166
( Cheering and applause )
83
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:48,603
The incredible MasterChef
white apron.
84
00:03:48,637 --> 00:03:52,174
But how you win one of these
is much different
85
00:03:52,207 --> 00:03:53,909
than ever before.
86
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:57,412
Each judge will have just
eight aprons to give out.
87
00:03:57,446 --> 00:03:59,648
But that doesn't make it easier.
88
00:03:59,681 --> 00:04:02,017
In fact,
it's a whole lot harder,
89
00:04:02,051 --> 00:04:05,654
because we are battling it out
90
00:04:05,687 --> 00:04:09,424
to identify the next MasterChef.
91
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:12,461
That means our reputations
are on the line.
92
00:04:12,494 --> 00:04:15,364
If more than of us
offers you an apron,
93
00:04:15,397 --> 00:04:18,533
you will be in the unique
position of getting to choose
94
00:04:18,567 --> 00:04:20,302
whose apron you take.
95
00:04:20,335 --> 00:04:23,305
And this year, the judge
that gives you that apron
96
00:04:23,338 --> 00:04:25,540
will then be your mentor
throughout the competition.
97
00:04:25,574 --> 00:04:28,777
One last thing: We've invited
your friends and family here
98
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,013
to support you
and encourage you.
99
00:04:31,046 --> 00:04:32,647
Good luck to you all.
100
00:04:32,681 --> 00:04:35,684
( Cheering and applause )
101
00:04:42,224 --> 00:04:44,559
Narrator: In the auditions
for a white apron,
102
00:04:44,593 --> 00:04:46,528
the home cooks will fight
to impress the judges
103
00:04:46,561 --> 00:04:48,697
with their signature dishes.
104
00:04:48,730 --> 00:04:50,966
The judges will then decide
105
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,302
who wins a MasterChef
white apron
106
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:55,704
and a place in the top 24.
107
00:04:57,606 --> 00:04:59,074
My whole life, basically,
has been building up to this.
108
00:04:59,108 --> 00:05:01,076
Everything has revolved
around food.
109
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,879
I'm Emily. I'm 28,
and I'm from Neenah, Wisconsin.
110
00:05:03,913 --> 00:05:06,215
I live and breathe food.
111
00:05:06,248 --> 00:05:09,051
Growing up,
my mom had a travel bug.
112
00:05:09,084 --> 00:05:11,053
I've been to almost
every continent.
113
00:05:11,086 --> 00:05:12,888
I can't get chicken liver
mousse in Wisconsin,
114
00:05:12,922 --> 00:05:14,156
and so I said, "You know what?
115
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:15,390
I'll make it myself."
116
00:05:15,424 --> 00:05:17,059
Competing on "MasterChef,"
117
00:05:17,092 --> 00:05:18,693
this is literally my dream.
118
00:05:18,727 --> 00:05:19,929
I wanna prove
119
00:05:19,962 --> 00:05:22,932
that I am as good
as I think I am.
120
00:05:22,965 --> 00:05:24,366
You're gonna put Cambodian food
on the map.
121
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,535
Yes! My name is Jannie. I'm 29.
122
00:05:26,568 --> 00:05:29,538
I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada,
and I'm a cocktail server.
123
00:05:29,571 --> 00:05:31,240
Vegas nightlife is
its own world.
124
00:05:31,273 --> 00:05:34,376
I get to make sure
people have an amazing time.
125
00:05:34,409 --> 00:05:36,211
I love my job,
but wherever I am in life,
126
00:05:36,245 --> 00:05:37,779
something always brings me
back to food.
127
00:05:37,812 --> 00:05:39,281
I use a lot of lemongrass,
128
00:05:39,314 --> 00:05:40,849
so, gotta keep that stocked.
129
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:42,751
I'm Cambodian and Vietnamese,
130
00:05:42,784 --> 00:05:45,054
so a lot of lemongrass, kaffir
lime leaves, a lot of turmeric.
131
00:05:45,087 --> 00:05:46,888
As a Vegas vixen,
132
00:05:46,922 --> 00:05:49,191
I'm gonna make sure my food
looks as good as it tastes.
133
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:52,594
I'm excited to go in that door
to get my apron.
134
00:05:52,627 --> 00:05:54,296
My apron will be for you.
135
00:05:54,329 --> 00:05:57,666
( Speaking Mandarin )
136
00:06:00,102 --> 00:06:02,271
My name's Bowen.
I'm 24 years old.
137
00:06:02,304 --> 00:06:04,306
I'm a pilot from Tianjin, China.
138
00:06:04,339 --> 00:06:07,977
When I was 15 years old,
I came to the United States.
139
00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:10,980
In China, my dad is
a professional chef.
140
00:06:11,013 --> 00:06:14,950
By watching my dad's cooking,
I fell in love with food.
141
00:06:14,984 --> 00:06:18,753
Back two years ago, I got
in a severe car accident.
142
00:06:18,787 --> 00:06:22,057
I was in the hospital
for almost a year.
143
00:06:22,091 --> 00:06:24,393
There in the hospital,
144
00:06:24,426 --> 00:06:26,962
the only TV program
I would watch is "MasterChef."
145
00:06:26,996 --> 00:06:29,131
"MasterChef" got me through it.
146
00:06:29,164 --> 00:06:33,268
The doctor said it's a miracle.
147
00:06:33,302 --> 00:06:35,304
( Cheering and applause )
148
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:39,641
Emily: Even though each judge
149
00:06:39,674 --> 00:06:41,110
only has eight aprons
to give out--
150
00:06:41,143 --> 00:06:43,979
I mean, that's only 24
aprons total.
151
00:06:44,013 --> 00:06:45,814
- ( Gasps )
- Welcome!
152
00:06:45,847 --> 00:06:47,349
Emily: I'm going in
there with the mindset
153
00:06:47,382 --> 00:06:48,817
that I will get an apron
offered to me
154
00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:50,986
- by all three judges.
- Let's go!
155
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:54,656
I am for sure going
to get an apron.
156
00:06:54,689 --> 00:06:56,758
All three of you,
good evening and welcome
157
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,994
to the most amazing kitchen
anywhere in America.
158
00:06:59,028 --> 00:07:03,265
Tonight, each one of your
signature dishes features beef.
159
00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:07,102
You have just 30 minutes
on the clock.
160
00:07:07,136 --> 00:07:09,271
- Are you all ready to cook?
- All: Yes, Chef!
161
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:12,107
Your 30 minutes starts...
162
00:07:12,141 --> 00:07:13,108
now!
163
00:07:13,142 --> 00:07:15,144
( Music playing )
164
00:07:19,081 --> 00:07:21,283
All right, guys, so we have
eight aprons to give away.
165
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:22,951
What I'm looking for
is discipline.
166
00:07:22,984 --> 00:07:25,020
Can they absorb like a sponge?
167
00:07:25,054 --> 00:07:27,689
That hunger to learn more.
168
00:07:27,722 --> 00:07:31,226
And how much better can I make
them across this journey?
169
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:32,894
I'm thinking about how grandiose
are their ideas.
170
00:07:32,927 --> 00:07:34,729
Are they big thinkers?
Are they creative
171
00:07:34,763 --> 00:07:36,665
and open to new ideas?
172
00:07:36,698 --> 00:07:39,401
My eight aprons, I'm looking for
someone who shows confidence,
173
00:07:39,434 --> 00:07:41,070
but you've gotta be willing
to take direction
174
00:07:41,103 --> 00:07:43,138
admit to what you don't know
and be willing to learn.
175
00:07:43,172 --> 00:07:44,906
So when I look,
I gotta see someone
176
00:07:44,939 --> 00:07:47,642
who can win this competition.
177
00:07:47,676 --> 00:07:49,344
Jannie, give us an insight
to the dish tonight.
178
00:07:49,378 --> 00:07:51,246
I'm making my Cambodian
beef skewers
179
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,648
with green papaya pickle
and a coconut rice.
180
00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:54,849
It is from my heritage
181
00:07:54,883 --> 00:07:56,418
- and my culture.
- Cambodia.
182
00:07:56,451 --> 00:07:58,587
Some of the best food
I've ever eaten.
183
00:08:00,922 --> 00:08:03,158
Miss Emily, talk to me a little
bit about what you're making.
184
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:06,595
I will be making a filet mignon
over fondant potato,
185
00:08:06,628 --> 00:08:08,930
mushroom duxelle
with a red wine pan sauce.
186
00:08:08,963 --> 00:08:11,766
This dish is entrenched
in a lot of French technique,
187
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,702
- it sounds like.
- Yes.
188
00:08:13,735 --> 00:08:15,370
I've had the opportunity
to travel the world.
189
00:08:15,404 --> 00:08:16,771
I've been to France a few times,
190
00:08:16,805 --> 00:08:18,740
and being a food anthropologist,
191
00:08:18,773 --> 00:08:21,676
I've definitely honed my skills
having that global experience.
192
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:24,179
Emily, I just assumed
you're a food anthropologist,
193
00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:26,515
that garlic powder
and onion powder
194
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:28,117
is something more for
traditional home cooks.
195
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:29,518
I feel like that's a little
pedestrian way
196
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,720
to look at it. Do you never use
197
00:08:31,753 --> 00:08:33,622
onion powder and garlic powder
in the kitchen?
198
00:08:33,655 --> 00:08:35,257
No. Never.
199
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:38,627
Gordon: 20 minutes remaining.
200
00:08:38,660 --> 00:08:40,095
Bowen, give us an insight
into what you're making.
201
00:08:40,129 --> 00:08:42,797
I'm making
a lion's head meatball,
202
00:08:42,831 --> 00:08:45,134
a soft-boiled egg stuffed
inside a meatball.
203
00:08:45,167 --> 00:08:46,801
- So it's a Scotch egg.
- Yes.
204
00:08:46,835 --> 00:08:48,637
So, Bowen, who'd you
learn to cook from?
205
00:08:48,670 --> 00:08:50,071
I learned from my father.
206
00:08:50,105 --> 00:08:51,940
My father is just
like a Chinese version
207
00:08:51,973 --> 00:08:53,275
of Gordon Ramsay.
208
00:08:53,308 --> 00:08:54,743
He's always yelling
at the kitchen.
209
00:08:56,678 --> 00:08:59,748
- Is Gordon big in China?
- He's famous everywhere.
210
00:08:59,781 --> 00:09:01,316
How about me?
Am I famous in China?
211
00:09:01,350 --> 00:09:03,618
- Of course, famous.
- Yeah? As famous as Gordon?
212
00:09:03,652 --> 00:09:06,288
Oh, you're trying
to give me trouble, huh?
213
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:10,992
Aarón: Guys, we are down
to seven minutes left.
214
00:09:11,025 --> 00:09:12,294
Emily: They look good, Bowen.
215
00:09:12,327 --> 00:09:13,662
Of course. Always.
216
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:17,666
Aarón: Jannie, you just
chose to put the beef on.
217
00:09:17,699 --> 00:09:19,234
Is that 'cause you wanted the
beef to marinate sufficiently?
218
00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:21,136
Yes. It's gonna
be bold flavored.
219
00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:22,604
Very bold.
220
00:09:22,637 --> 00:09:24,806
- I know you guys will enjoy it.
- All right, guys,
221
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:26,808
so we couldn't have three
more different beef dishes.
222
00:09:26,841 --> 00:09:30,412
For me, Jannie, I think, has the
biggest level of difficulty.
223
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:32,281
Is she gonna get enough
of those aromatic flavors
224
00:09:32,314 --> 00:09:34,115
in a very tight window of time?
225
00:09:34,149 --> 00:09:36,651
- Almost two minutes, guys.
- Emily's issue tonight,
226
00:09:36,685 --> 00:09:38,353
- the temperature on that filet.
- But, come on, garlic powder
227
00:09:38,387 --> 00:09:40,289
- and onion powder.
- By the way,
228
00:09:40,322 --> 00:09:42,491
the secret there is making sure
it's got an even color.
229
00:09:42,524 --> 00:09:43,925
Joe: And is it too simple?
230
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:45,794
Gordon: 60 seconds remaining.
231
00:09:45,827 --> 00:09:47,796
This is where it counts.
Come on.
232
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:49,531
Bowen's got his meatball out.
He's slicing it now.
233
00:09:49,564 --> 00:09:51,600
Wow! Emily, is that filet
gonna be medium rare?
234
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:53,202
- Yes, sir.
- Gordon: Ten...
235
00:09:53,235 --> 00:09:55,970
Chefs: Nine, eight, seven...
236
00:09:56,004 --> 00:10:00,342
- Bowen: Come on, let's go!
- Six, five, four, three,
237
00:10:00,375 --> 00:10:02,544
- two, one.
- Gordon: And stop.
238
00:10:02,577 --> 00:10:04,846
- Hands in the air. Well done.
- Joe: Wow!
239
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:07,382
All three of you, bring your
dishes down to the front, please.
240
00:10:07,416 --> 00:10:09,218
Thank you.
241
00:10:13,922 --> 00:10:16,825
Aarón: So, three very
passionate home cooks,
242
00:10:16,858 --> 00:10:19,694
all with signature dishes
that featured beef.
243
00:10:19,728 --> 00:10:21,463
Let's taste.
244
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:23,232
Jannie, describe the dish.
245
00:10:23,265 --> 00:10:26,301
It's Cambodian beef skewers
246
00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:27,736
with a green papaya pickle
and coconut rice.
247
00:10:27,769 --> 00:10:29,204
What are some of the flavors
248
00:10:29,238 --> 00:10:31,072
I'm supposed to
be experiencing here?
249
00:10:31,105 --> 00:10:33,275
- You'll get the lemongrass for sure.
- Mmm.
250
00:10:36,345 --> 00:10:38,480
The beef is tender,
the marinade came through.
251
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:40,849
And I gotta say,
I like the pickle.
252
00:10:40,882 --> 00:10:42,551
- Well done.
- Thank you.
253
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:51,660
- Very sweet. - I like my beef a
little bit on the sweeter side
254
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,295
'cause I put honey in it.
255
00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:56,398
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
256
00:10:56,431 --> 00:10:58,099
And inside the rice?
257
00:10:58,132 --> 00:11:00,269
There's coconut milk and ginger
and a little bit of salt.
258
00:11:00,302 --> 00:11:01,903
Tastes quite nice.
259
00:11:01,936 --> 00:11:03,938
This is traditionally
a street food dish.
260
00:11:03,972 --> 00:11:06,441
It needs heat. Bit of chili.
261
00:11:06,475 --> 00:11:08,209
So you've got something
that's that sweet,
262
00:11:08,243 --> 00:11:10,279
then you need to balance
it out with that heat.
263
00:11:10,312 --> 00:11:12,146
Thank you.
264
00:11:14,148 --> 00:11:15,384
Emily, name of the dish?
265
00:11:15,417 --> 00:11:17,386
This is a filet mignon
266
00:11:17,419 --> 00:11:19,288
over fondant potato,
mushroom duxelle,
267
00:11:19,321 --> 00:11:21,222
and a red wine pan sauce.
268
00:11:23,091 --> 00:11:25,126
Let's see. Medium rare.
269
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:27,396
- And what did you season with?
- Onion and garlic powder.
270
00:11:27,429 --> 00:11:30,265
- My apologies.
- You don't have to apologize.
271
00:11:30,299 --> 00:11:32,501
There's just a right way
of doing things.
272
00:11:37,339 --> 00:11:38,973
Great color on the steak.
273
00:11:39,007 --> 00:11:40,942
- How long did you cook it for?
- Two minutes each side,
274
00:11:40,975 --> 00:11:42,644
and then I finished in the oven
for about eight minutes.
275
00:11:42,677 --> 00:11:44,646
Wow! The beef is delicious.
276
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,551
But a duxelle would generally
be for lining or wrapping.
277
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:52,153
When you have a filet mignon like
that you find the best mushroom
278
00:11:52,186 --> 00:11:53,588
so it highlights the beef.
279
00:11:53,622 --> 00:11:55,557
However,
it's perfectly executed.
280
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:57,392
Thank you.
281
00:11:57,426 --> 00:11:59,628
- Why duxelle?
- Mushrooms are earthy flavor.
282
00:11:59,661 --> 00:12:03,131
I think it's a nice component
to the beef on the plate.
283
00:12:03,164 --> 00:12:04,733
It's buttery and rich.
I like the duxelle.
284
00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:07,302
That's my favorite
part of this dish.
285
00:12:07,336 --> 00:12:09,471
But you need to bring in, for
me, a little bit more acidity.
286
00:12:09,504 --> 00:12:11,105
- Mm-hmm.
- But perfectly cooked.
287
00:12:12,841 --> 00:12:14,609
Bowen,
describe the dish, please.
288
00:12:14,643 --> 00:12:18,012
This dish is called
lion's head meatball,
289
00:12:18,046 --> 00:12:21,683
stuffed with hard-boiled egg,
served with radish pickle.
290
00:12:21,716 --> 00:12:24,453
And what's inside
the ground beef?
291
00:12:24,486 --> 00:12:26,655
Scallions, water chestnut,
292
00:12:26,688 --> 00:12:29,424
ground ginger, ground garlic.
293
00:12:29,458 --> 00:12:32,827
It looks weird, but it actually
tastes delicious.
294
00:12:32,861 --> 00:12:34,963
The ground beef is
seasoned beautifully,
295
00:12:34,996 --> 00:12:37,799
and I've got that nice
richness from the egg.
296
00:12:37,832 --> 00:12:39,668
- Good job.
- Thank you.
297
00:12:39,701 --> 00:12:42,170
Bowen, have you made
this dish before?
298
00:12:42,203 --> 00:12:44,339
Yes.
299
00:12:44,373 --> 00:12:47,208
What I'm tasting is a beautiful
texture of the beef.
300
00:12:47,241 --> 00:12:49,277
If I wanted to change one thing,
301
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,846
you don't need all that radish.
It's not serving a purpose.
302
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,047
Thank you.
303
00:12:56,017 --> 00:12:58,152
It's very, very flavorful.
304
00:12:58,186 --> 00:12:59,721
It's super moist, tender.
305
00:12:59,754 --> 00:13:01,456
You ever think about leaving
a little broth in it?
306
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:04,025
If I put broth in there
it will be a mess on the plate.
307
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:12,333
Great job, all of you.
Here's the deal.
308
00:13:12,367 --> 00:13:15,870
You only have to impress one
of us to win an apron.
309
00:13:15,904 --> 00:13:18,139
We only have eight aprons each.
310
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:21,843
These are as precious to me as
they are to all of you home cooks.
311
00:13:21,876 --> 00:13:23,578
I'm going against
my colleagues here.
312
00:13:23,612 --> 00:13:26,881
I wanna be the one that puts
forward the next MasterChef.
313
00:13:26,915 --> 00:13:29,484
You might have multiple offers
from all three of us.
314
00:13:29,518 --> 00:13:32,186
If that happens,
it's down to you guys
315
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:34,489
to choose who you want
to be your mentor
316
00:13:34,523 --> 00:13:36,758
throughout this
whole competition.
317
00:13:36,791 --> 00:13:39,728
I saw a lot of bright spots,
318
00:13:39,761 --> 00:13:42,997
but my standards are super high
and I've not seen enough.
319
00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:45,600
That's three nos for me.
320
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:48,603
All right,
I think there's one home cook
321
00:13:48,637 --> 00:13:51,706
that has the potential
to be the next MasterChef.
322
00:13:57,378 --> 00:13:59,548
This apron is going to...
323
00:14:10,992 --> 00:14:13,495
This apron is going to...
324
00:14:15,997 --> 00:14:17,799
Bowen.
325
00:14:20,301 --> 00:14:22,437
But I'm not finished yet.
326
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:27,809
Sometimes what it means
327
00:14:27,842 --> 00:14:29,744
to have the potential
to be the next MasterChef
328
00:14:29,778 --> 00:14:31,245
is not always in the plate.
329
00:14:33,648 --> 00:14:35,249
Emily, you and I
haven't exactly bonded.
330
00:14:35,283 --> 00:14:37,886
- You're tough.
- Are you worth this apron?
331
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,655
Absolutely. I'm a sponge.
332
00:14:40,689 --> 00:14:43,191
I'm gonna soak up every ounce of
wisdom that you bestow upon me.
333
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:50,799
What you just said
is the very reason why...
334
00:14:54,135 --> 00:14:56,971
I'm gonna give you this apron.
335
00:14:57,005 --> 00:14:58,873
- Don't let me down.
- Wow!
336
00:15:01,876 --> 00:15:04,646
Gordon, I guess
it's up to you now.
337
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:08,282
I do have one apron to give out.
338
00:15:13,354 --> 00:15:14,589
Bowen.
339
00:15:14,623 --> 00:15:16,591
Aarón: ( whispering ) Whoa!
340
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:19,427
Mm-mm.
341
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:22,363
So, Jannie, this means that
you'll be leaving the kitchen
342
00:15:22,396 --> 00:15:24,465
without an apron.
343
00:15:24,499 --> 00:15:27,936
Bowen, you have an apron
from Joe Bastianich.
344
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,605
Restaurateur,
probably the best in the world.
345
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,875
And you have an apron from one
of the best chefs in the world.
346
00:15:33,908 --> 00:15:35,810
Who is gonna be your mentor?
347
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:42,717
His father is a mini me.
348
00:15:42,751 --> 00:15:46,788
And now you have the real
opportunity to be with me,
349
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:48,489
so there's no choice.
350
00:15:48,523 --> 00:15:50,124
Joe.
351
00:15:50,158 --> 00:15:52,193
This is the single greatest day
of your life,
352
00:15:52,226 --> 00:15:55,229
because I am the greatest mentor
in the history
353
00:15:55,263 --> 00:15:59,534
of the biggest cooking
competition in the world.
354
00:15:59,568 --> 00:16:03,772
Bowen, who is gonna take you to
the top of the culinary world?
355
00:16:14,082 --> 00:16:16,250
Gordon Ramsay.
356
00:16:19,287 --> 00:16:21,055
- Thank you, Jannie.
- Aarón: Thank you, guys. Well done.
357
00:16:21,089 --> 00:16:23,024
Gordon: Bowen's a
fascinating character.
358
00:16:23,057 --> 00:16:25,193
My God!
That guy knows how to cook.
359
00:16:25,226 --> 00:16:27,528
- Aarón: The sky's the limit.
- Emily, she's confident.
360
00:16:27,562 --> 00:16:29,197
I didn't love the plate,
but I like the girl.
361
00:16:29,230 --> 00:16:31,232
I think she could really go far.
362
00:16:31,265 --> 00:16:34,268
( Cheering and applause )
363
00:16:36,938 --> 00:16:40,208
I got an apron from Gordon!
364
00:16:40,241 --> 00:16:42,076
( Crying )
365
00:16:42,110 --> 00:16:45,246
( cheering )
366
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:47,248
Woman: Jannie, it's okay.
367
00:16:47,281 --> 00:16:50,719
- So proud of you, baby.
- Joe picking me, it's insane!
368
00:16:50,752 --> 00:16:52,587
I really didn't expect it
to come from him,
369
00:16:52,621 --> 00:16:54,388
but that means a lot more
370
00:16:54,422 --> 00:16:55,790
that it's coming from someone
that's so critical.
371
00:16:55,824 --> 00:16:57,425
I'm so happy for you!
372
00:16:57,458 --> 00:16:58,693
I am not gonna let him down.
373
00:16:58,727 --> 00:17:00,394
- Good chef.
- Gordon Ramsay!
374
00:17:00,428 --> 00:17:02,430
My husband, my father, and me,
375
00:17:02,463 --> 00:17:04,065
we all love Gordon Ramsay,
376
00:17:04,098 --> 00:17:06,200
so I will never let
Gordon Ramsay down.
377
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:08,903
I will become the next
MasterChef!
378
00:17:08,937 --> 00:17:11,139
I'm so proud of you!
379
00:17:11,172 --> 00:17:12,741
( Crying )
380
00:17:14,609 --> 00:17:16,244
Narrator: Up next is Cynthia,
381
00:17:16,277 --> 00:17:19,413
an accounting assistant
from Sylmar, California.
382
00:17:19,447 --> 00:17:20,949
Mom, you're my favorite cook.
383
00:17:20,982 --> 00:17:22,651
- I'm your favorite cook?
- My favorite.
384
00:17:22,684 --> 00:17:23,952
Mom.
385
00:17:23,985 --> 00:17:25,720
I'm a mother of six.
386
00:17:25,754 --> 00:17:27,722
So, by the time I'm done
doing the dishes,
387
00:17:27,756 --> 00:17:29,123
it's time for the next meal.
388
00:17:29,157 --> 00:17:30,925
Muah!
389
00:17:30,959 --> 00:17:32,794
To cook on "MasterChef,"
390
00:17:32,827 --> 00:17:34,262
it's something
I've always wanted.
391
00:17:34,295 --> 00:17:35,797
And getting this apron,
392
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:37,565
it will just prove
to my children
393
00:17:37,598 --> 00:17:40,601
that it's never too late
to go after your dreams.
394
00:17:40,635 --> 00:17:41,803
What is Gordon gonna think?
395
00:17:41,836 --> 00:17:43,604
My name is Shanika.
396
00:17:43,638 --> 00:17:45,807
I'm 34 years old.
I'm from Miami, Florida
397
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,541
and I'm an event promoter.
398
00:17:48,677 --> 00:17:50,278
I cook how I look:
399
00:17:50,311 --> 00:17:52,146
Bold, tough, daring.
400
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:54,949
I'm very, very confident
in who I am.
401
00:17:54,983 --> 00:17:57,451
And, you know, when you feel good
and you look good you cook good.
402
00:17:57,485 --> 00:17:59,253
- The flavors have to be on point.
- Yeah, man, you got it.
403
00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:00,822
- You got it.
- I know I got it.
404
00:18:00,855 --> 00:18:03,024
I mean, I know my mom
would be proud right now.
405
00:18:03,057 --> 00:18:06,260
I was 14 years old
when I lost my mom,
406
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:08,429
and my love for cooking
came from my mom.
407
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,464
Losing my mom at an early age,
408
00:18:10,498 --> 00:18:13,167
it pushed me
to become like an adult.
409
00:18:13,201 --> 00:18:15,770
I actually had to become
the mother for my sister.
410
00:18:15,804 --> 00:18:18,639
It was really, really rough.
411
00:18:18,673 --> 00:18:20,274
But I wouldn't change it.
412
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:21,976
Because I wouldn't
be who I am today.
413
00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:23,644
I wouldn't be as strong as I am.
414
00:18:23,678 --> 00:18:25,546
( Cheering and applause )
415
00:18:25,579 --> 00:18:27,849
And I'm ready
to show these judges
416
00:18:27,882 --> 00:18:30,318
that I know how to cook.
417
00:18:30,351 --> 00:18:33,888
They're gonna get straight up,
raw Shanika.
418
00:18:33,922 --> 00:18:35,123
Welcome. Come on down.
419
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:36,825
Very excited to be here.
420
00:18:36,858 --> 00:18:39,160
That is why I'm gonna get
that damn apron.
421
00:18:40,428 --> 00:18:42,864
Welcome to the MasterChef
kitchen.
422
00:18:42,897 --> 00:18:45,834
We started the competition
with only eight aprons each.
423
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:49,670
Your dishes have to convince
at least one of the three of us
424
00:18:49,704 --> 00:18:52,140
that you are worthy
425
00:18:52,173 --> 00:18:54,809
of one of our eight aprons.
426
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:58,479
Ladies, tonight,
you've got 45 minutes
427
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:01,215
to cook us
your signature dishes.
428
00:19:01,249 --> 00:19:03,217
- Ready?
- Yes, Chef.
429
00:19:03,251 --> 00:19:05,920
Your 45 minutes starts...
430
00:19:07,722 --> 00:19:08,723
now!
431
00:19:15,063 --> 00:19:16,765
- So, Cynthia.
- Yes.
432
00:19:16,798 --> 00:19:18,266
Talk to me a little bit
about your dish.
433
00:19:18,299 --> 00:19:20,568
I'm making a cream biscuit
strawberry shortcake,
434
00:19:20,601 --> 00:19:24,038
a strawberry-mint puree
for the base,
435
00:19:24,072 --> 00:19:26,875
and then I will be doing
a lemon whip
436
00:19:26,908 --> 00:19:29,243
to kinda cut into the
sweetness a little bit.
437
00:19:29,277 --> 00:19:30,879
Outstanding.
438
00:19:30,912 --> 00:19:32,713
- Shanika, what's the dish?
- Yes, sir.
439
00:19:32,747 --> 00:19:34,415
I'm making a bitter French kiss.
440
00:19:34,448 --> 00:19:37,685
It is a puff pastry with very,
very sweet dates, goat cheese,
441
00:19:37,718 --> 00:19:39,687
heavy whipping cream to tone it
down just a little bit.
442
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,024
- And it creates just this
marvelous filling. - Wow!
443
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:45,860
That ponytail, young lady.
444
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:47,128
How long is that thing?
445
00:19:47,161 --> 00:19:48,763
This is my Beyoncé ponytail.
446
00:19:52,566 --> 00:19:54,735
Gordon: Ladies, just
under 25 minutes to go.
447
00:19:54,769 --> 00:19:57,105
You make it into
the MasterChef kitchen,
448
00:19:57,138 --> 00:19:59,808
it's your signature dish,
and you decide to bake?
449
00:19:59,841 --> 00:20:01,309
I mean, are they crazy?
450
00:20:01,342 --> 00:20:03,211
Ask any professional
pastry chef.
451
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:05,479
They wouldn't touch baking
in 45 minutes.
452
00:20:05,513 --> 00:20:07,882
Aarón: I love the grit of coming
on strong with the dessert.
453
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:09,450
You're setting the tone.
454
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:14,122
Cynthia, are you gonna get
a white apron?
455
00:20:14,155 --> 00:20:17,258
It should be good enough
to impress at least one of you.
456
00:20:17,291 --> 00:20:18,793
Gordon: Right.
457
00:20:18,827 --> 00:20:22,063
Ladies, we're down
to 10 minutes remaining.
458
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,932
Cynthia's biscuits
are still in the oven.
459
00:20:23,965 --> 00:20:25,433
So they're gonna take at least
five, six minutes to cool down.
460
00:20:25,466 --> 00:20:27,168
They've gotta cool down first.
461
00:20:27,201 --> 00:20:28,636
But my worry right now is
462
00:20:28,669 --> 00:20:30,338
that cream is gonna
absolutely disintegrate
463
00:20:30,371 --> 00:20:31,772
the minute it hits
that shortcake.
464
00:20:31,806 --> 00:20:33,607
Oh, my gosh.
465
00:20:33,641 --> 00:20:35,543
Just under eight minutes
remaining, ladies. Come on.
466
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,779
Got a small problem.
467
00:20:38,813 --> 00:20:41,282
Are these cooked desserts
gonna get done?
468
00:20:41,315 --> 00:20:44,485
Let's go, guys!
Come on, pull it together.
469
00:20:44,518 --> 00:20:46,821
Are we gonna be tasting something
or we gonna be tasting raw pastry?
470
00:20:56,697 --> 00:20:58,266
Gosh.
471
00:20:58,299 --> 00:21:01,202
Just under eight minutes
remaining, ladies. Come on.
472
00:21:01,235 --> 00:21:03,504
Got a small problem.
473
00:21:03,537 --> 00:21:06,007
Are these cooked desserts
gonna get done?
474
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,210
Let's go, guys!
Come on, pull it together.
475
00:21:09,243 --> 00:21:11,545
Are we gonna be tasting something
or we gonna be tasting raw pastry?
476
00:21:15,183 --> 00:21:16,484
Oh, pastry out.
477
00:21:18,019 --> 00:21:19,820
Wow! That looks perfect.
478
00:21:21,555 --> 00:21:24,825
Shanika, who would you
most want an apron from,
479
00:21:24,859 --> 00:21:26,560
if you had to pick one
of the three?
480
00:21:26,594 --> 00:21:29,330
I really wanna prove to Gordon
that I have what it takes.
481
00:21:29,363 --> 00:21:32,566
I wanna be him. Period. 100%.
482
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,202
You wanna be the female
version of me?
483
00:21:34,235 --> 00:21:35,703
- Of you.
- Wow!
484
00:21:35,736 --> 00:21:36,971
- Okay.
- Yes, you.
485
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:38,873
I want you to give me my apron.
486
00:21:41,409 --> 00:21:42,710
Ladies, five minutes to go.
487
00:21:42,743 --> 00:21:44,545
Here we are.
488
00:21:44,578 --> 00:21:47,848
Joe: Winning over one
of us is all it takes
489
00:21:47,882 --> 00:21:50,418
to give you an apron and a place
490
00:21:50,451 --> 00:21:52,053
in America's largest
cooking competition,
491
00:21:52,086 --> 00:21:53,487
the MasterChef kitchen.
492
00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:56,157
This is the one.
493
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:57,858
Awesome. Yes!
494
00:21:57,892 --> 00:22:02,763
Ladies, we are down
to 60 seconds remaining.
495
00:22:02,796 --> 00:22:06,734
- Showtime. - I just hope that
those biscuits are cool enough.
496
00:22:06,767 --> 00:22:09,270
Gordon: Ten, nine...
497
00:22:09,303 --> 00:22:11,605
Chefs: Eight, seven, six,
498
00:22:11,639 --> 00:22:16,945
five, four, three, two, one.
499
00:22:16,978 --> 00:22:19,213
- Hands in the air. Well done.
- Hands in the air, hands in the air.
500
00:22:19,247 --> 00:22:20,949
- Nice job, ladies.
- Ladies, very carefully,
501
00:22:20,982 --> 00:22:23,484
please, bring your desserts
down to the front.
502
00:22:33,561 --> 00:22:35,563
Cynthia, describe
the dish, please.
503
00:22:35,596 --> 00:22:38,732
I have a cream biscuit
strawberry shortcake
504
00:22:38,766 --> 00:22:41,902
with a lemon-mint
strawberry puree.
505
00:22:45,573 --> 00:22:47,641
The actual shortcake, delicious.
506
00:22:47,675 --> 00:22:49,810
It's light, it's fluffy.
507
00:22:49,843 --> 00:22:51,712
Layers are done nicely.
508
00:22:51,745 --> 00:22:53,714
It doesn't give me the wow
factor, in terms of visual.
509
00:22:53,747 --> 00:22:56,050
You could've done
with a glaze on top,
510
00:22:56,084 --> 00:22:57,885
just get a bit of color
contrast.
511
00:22:57,918 --> 00:23:00,754
- But it does taste good.
- Thank you, Chef.
512
00:23:03,291 --> 00:23:05,893
The mint, the strawberry,
the lemon, they all make sense.
513
00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:07,295
There just needs
to be a lot more of it,
514
00:23:07,328 --> 00:23:09,497
but there's enough
great attributes,
515
00:23:09,530 --> 00:23:10,931
that make you remember
this dessert.
516
00:23:10,965 --> 00:23:12,266
Thank you, Chef.
517
00:23:15,169 --> 00:23:17,938
You know, the dish,
it's a little homey.
518
00:23:17,972 --> 00:23:19,573
- Right.
- Which is nice.
519
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:21,309
Is it nice in
the MasterChef kitchen?
520
00:23:21,342 --> 00:23:23,611
I-- I think so.
521
00:23:23,644 --> 00:23:25,046
I'm not so sure.
522
00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:32,486
Shanika, what's the dish?
523
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,754
This is a bitter French kiss.
524
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:36,257
I have a puff pastry
525
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:38,092
stuffed with a goat cheese
filling,
526
00:23:38,126 --> 00:23:39,627
that was made with cream cheese,
527
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:41,362
heavy whipping cream,
sugar, and date.
528
00:23:41,395 --> 00:23:43,131
I did a balsamic vinegar
reduction,
529
00:23:43,164 --> 00:23:45,299
and I created a candied bacon
rosette.
530
00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:47,101
You're playing on a high wire,
531
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:50,438
because you're using very,
very risky ingredients.
532
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:52,806
Goat cheese, and balsamic,
and candied bacon.
533
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,010
Without the greatest
of finesse and skill,
534
00:23:56,044 --> 00:23:58,179
you're gonna fall off that wire.
535
00:24:12,593 --> 00:24:14,728
Shanika, I'm so impressed.
536
00:24:14,762 --> 00:24:17,398
The fact that you got that puff
pastry cooked all the way through.
537
00:24:17,431 --> 00:24:19,733
If you're a goat cheese lover,
538
00:24:19,767 --> 00:24:21,202
then this is
the dessert for you.
539
00:24:34,915 --> 00:24:36,417
Ladies, let me remind you,
540
00:24:36,450 --> 00:24:40,088
you only have to impress
one of us to win an apron.
541
00:24:40,121 --> 00:24:43,257
You might have multiple offers
and it's down to you to choose
542
00:24:43,291 --> 00:24:45,259
who you want to be your mentor
543
00:24:45,293 --> 00:24:48,062
throughout this whole
competition.
544
00:24:48,096 --> 00:24:50,131
I've made my decision.
545
00:24:51,399 --> 00:24:52,966
Cynthia...
546
00:24:55,069 --> 00:24:57,705
your dish, for me,
547
00:24:57,738 --> 00:24:59,140
is not worthy of my apron.
548
00:25:01,075 --> 00:25:04,245
Well done, Cynthia...
549
00:25:04,278 --> 00:25:05,946
but I'm afraid it's a no for me.
550
00:25:07,915 --> 00:25:09,617
Cynthia, I'm looking
at that dish
551
00:25:09,650 --> 00:25:13,354
and I'm thinking about
is it "MasterChef"-worthy?
552
00:25:13,387 --> 00:25:15,189
And the answer is no,
553
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:16,790
so I'm not gonna give
you one of my aprons.
554
00:25:16,824 --> 00:25:18,592
Thank you, Chef.
555
00:25:18,626 --> 00:25:22,130
Shanika, I know you want
my apron, right?
556
00:25:22,163 --> 00:25:23,164
Yes.
557
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:31,939
I'm sorry to say, I just don't
think you're ready yet.
558
00:25:33,907 --> 00:25:35,576
Okay.
559
00:25:35,609 --> 00:25:38,146
- Shanika.
- Yes, sir.
560
00:25:38,179 --> 00:25:40,781
Gordon doesn't believe in you.
Why should I?
561
00:25:40,814 --> 00:25:42,616
Because I know
I have the potential.
562
00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:45,119
I know I have the drive,
I have the hunger.
563
00:25:45,153 --> 00:25:47,821
And I will win.
564
00:25:54,328 --> 00:25:55,963
I look at you and I see promise.
565
00:25:55,996 --> 00:26:00,401
I see a future
and I do believe in you.
566
00:26:00,434 --> 00:26:02,069
So I do wanna give you
this apron.
567
00:26:02,102 --> 00:26:04,705
- I want it.
- Wow!
568
00:26:13,147 --> 00:26:14,982
- Shanika.
- Yes, sir.
569
00:26:15,015 --> 00:26:18,619
If I offered you this apron,
570
00:26:18,652 --> 00:26:23,591
would you take my apron
or would you take Aarón's apron?
571
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:25,125
I'm gonna go with Aarón.
572
00:26:26,327 --> 00:26:28,095
Hmm.
573
00:26:28,128 --> 00:26:30,531
Well, Shanika,
I don't believe you.
574
00:26:30,564 --> 00:26:33,501
I'm gonna make this
not hypothetical anymore.
575
00:26:35,303 --> 00:26:38,206
I'm gonna count to three,
and then you reach out
576
00:26:38,239 --> 00:26:42,976
and take whichever apron
suits your ambition the most
577
00:26:43,010 --> 00:26:44,978
to prove Gordon wrong.
578
00:26:47,548 --> 00:26:51,685
One, two, three.
579
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:01,362
Shanika, I'm gonna
count to three
580
00:27:01,395 --> 00:27:04,064
and then you reach out and take
581
00:27:04,097 --> 00:27:07,535
whichever apron
suits your ambition the most
582
00:27:07,568 --> 00:27:09,670
to prove Gordon wrong.
583
00:27:12,206 --> 00:27:16,777
One, two, three.
584
00:27:19,547 --> 00:27:21,215
Mm.
585
00:27:24,885 --> 00:27:26,587
See you on the camp.
586
00:27:31,592 --> 00:27:35,396
Cynthia, sorry,
you are going home,
587
00:27:35,429 --> 00:27:36,697
but your family should
be proud of you.
588
00:27:36,730 --> 00:27:38,065
Thank you.
589
00:27:38,098 --> 00:27:40,200
Thank you, ladies.
590
00:27:43,070 --> 00:27:45,172
Keep coming, keep trying.
591
00:27:45,205 --> 00:27:47,074
Don't give up.
592
00:27:47,107 --> 00:27:49,610
She's got the animal heart it
takes to win this competition.
593
00:27:49,643 --> 00:27:52,513
- No.
- I'm happy she's not on my team.
594
00:27:52,546 --> 00:27:54,915
Yeah, that's
'cause you like to lose.
595
00:27:54,948 --> 00:27:57,951
( Cheering and applause )
596
00:28:04,925 --> 00:28:07,928
( cheering )
597
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,769
Mommy, I'm so proud!
598
00:28:15,803 --> 00:28:18,406
Props to Shanika. She went
in there and did her thing
599
00:28:18,439 --> 00:28:20,974
and she had a great dish,
600
00:28:21,008 --> 00:28:22,276
and I'm really proud of her.
601
00:28:25,178 --> 00:28:27,381
What Joe saw was a damn diamond
602
00:28:27,415 --> 00:28:29,317
and MasterChef kitchen
gotta get ready
603
00:28:29,350 --> 00:28:32,219
because I'm bringing the heat,
the flavor, and the sass
604
00:28:32,252 --> 00:28:34,254
all up in that kitchen.
605
00:28:34,288 --> 00:28:36,890
( Cheering and applause )
606
00:28:36,924 --> 00:28:41,128
Narrator: From thousands of
home cooks across America,
607
00:28:41,161 --> 00:28:43,063
the judges invited those
with the skill...
608
00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:44,932
- Flambé it.
- There you go.
609
00:28:44,965 --> 00:28:47,801
- Determination, and courage...
- Let's do this!
610
00:28:47,835 --> 00:28:49,937
- Were you chopping garlic that fast?
- Absolutely.
611
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:53,173
- Keep the knuckles out the way.
- ...to take risks...
612
00:28:53,206 --> 00:28:55,643
- This is not doing what I need it to do.
- No, it's not.
613
00:28:55,676 --> 00:28:59,447
Cooking an Italian dish in front
of an extraordinary Italian,
614
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,416
- now that's ballsy.
- No!
615
00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:04,251
...but for these home cooks...
616
00:29:04,284 --> 00:29:07,488
That is a crime in Texas.
617
00:29:07,521 --> 00:29:09,790
It's the consistency
of toothpaste.
618
00:29:09,823 --> 00:29:11,459
Looks like a calf's brain.
619
00:29:11,492 --> 00:29:14,094
...the gamble didn't pay off.
620
00:29:14,127 --> 00:29:16,196
Gordon: You know that
this is not going to you.
621
00:29:16,229 --> 00:29:17,498
I'm afraid it's a no.
622
00:29:17,531 --> 00:29:19,700
- I'm sorry.
- You were close.
623
00:29:19,733 --> 00:29:21,502
- It's a no. No as well.
- No apron.
624
00:29:21,535 --> 00:29:24,137
- Double no.
- Your dish is good.
625
00:29:24,171 --> 00:29:27,307
- Is he gonna give it to him?
- Not good enough.
626
00:29:27,341 --> 00:29:28,842
Ooh!
627
00:29:28,876 --> 00:29:31,278
But for the most
talented home cooks...
628
00:29:31,311 --> 00:29:33,881
- I absolutely love the cook on the veal.
- Thank you.
629
00:29:33,914 --> 00:29:36,484
...the risk turned
into reward...
630
00:29:36,517 --> 00:29:38,218
That is MasterChef-worthy.
631
00:29:38,251 --> 00:29:40,654
...with Gordon handing out
his second apron...
632
00:29:40,688 --> 00:29:43,557
Congratulations, Seth.
633
00:29:43,591 --> 00:29:45,526
...and Aarón giving out
his first of the night...
634
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:47,628
- Julia.
- Wow!
635
00:29:47,661 --> 00:29:49,963
...leaving Gordon and Joe
with six aprons each...
636
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:51,331
( cheering and applause )
637
00:29:51,365 --> 00:29:52,866
...and Aarón with seven.
638
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:54,234
Team Aarón! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
639
00:29:54,267 --> 00:29:56,003
Let the games begin,
640
00:29:56,036 --> 00:29:57,671
because this is the highest
level we've ever seen.
641
00:29:57,705 --> 00:30:00,474
Good luck,
because you're gonna need it.
642
00:30:00,508 --> 00:30:02,710
Up next is Samantha...
643
00:30:02,743 --> 00:30:04,812
- I'm so nervous.
- You'll do fine.
644
00:30:04,845 --> 00:30:06,747
- You'll do good.
- I hope so.
645
00:30:06,780 --> 00:30:08,716
...a 20-year-old college student
646
00:30:08,749 --> 00:30:10,350
from West Des Moines, Iowa.
647
00:30:10,384 --> 00:30:11,585
And voila!
648
00:30:11,619 --> 00:30:12,986
I'm in a sorority,
649
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:14,555
and I'm kind of the mom
of the group.
650
00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:16,557
You know, after a long night
of partying,
651
00:30:16,590 --> 00:30:18,859
they'll come over to my place,
I'll make hangover food,
652
00:30:18,892 --> 00:30:21,094
and make sure everybody gets
a good meal in.
653
00:30:21,128 --> 00:30:22,530
I wish Dad could see me
right now.
654
00:30:22,563 --> 00:30:23,997
He'd be so proud.
655
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:26,233
- He is, he's watching.
- He's watching.
656
00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:30,170
My passion for food and for cooking
really came from my family.
657
00:30:30,203 --> 00:30:32,205
When I was around 15 or 16
658
00:30:32,239 --> 00:30:35,843
my dad got diagnosed with
stage 4 renal cell carcinoma.
659
00:30:35,876 --> 00:30:38,579
So, now that we're apart,
all I can do
660
00:30:38,612 --> 00:30:41,281
is try to make him
incredibly proud of me
661
00:30:41,314 --> 00:30:43,684
by just following my passion.
662
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:46,454
Being here now means everything.
663
00:30:46,487 --> 00:30:49,356
I'm going in with Mark. He's 19,
664
00:30:49,389 --> 00:30:51,058
so we're the two youngest
in the competition.
665
00:30:51,091 --> 00:30:52,593
These people might
be a little older
666
00:30:52,626 --> 00:30:54,094
but they can't cook like me.
667
00:30:54,127 --> 00:30:55,629
My name is Mark
and I am a dishwasher.
668
00:30:55,663 --> 00:30:57,731
I grew up in Rockport, Maine.
669
00:30:57,765 --> 00:31:00,067
We lived on a farmhouse-esque
property.
670
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:03,270
We had a top floor living space
and a bottom floor restaurant.
671
00:31:03,303 --> 00:31:06,206
( Cheering and applause )
672
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:07,608
Growing up in a restaurant
at such a young age
673
00:31:07,641 --> 00:31:09,142
really did steep me
in the culture
674
00:31:09,176 --> 00:31:12,412
and the respect it takes
to succeed in the kitchen.
675
00:31:12,446 --> 00:31:14,114
I'm an expert
in flavor profiles.
676
00:31:14,147 --> 00:31:16,149
I'm well-schooled
in the art of butchery.
677
00:31:16,183 --> 00:31:19,219
- Come on down, please.
- I've been in food my whole life,
678
00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:22,289
so I'm confident that today I'll
be taking home a MasterChef apron.
679
00:31:22,322 --> 00:31:23,924
- Hello.
- Hi.
680
00:31:23,957 --> 00:31:27,060
Welcome. Both of you
have got 30 minutes
681
00:31:27,094 --> 00:31:30,898
to absolutely nail
your signature dishes.
682
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:34,502
Your 30 minutes starts...
683
00:31:35,936 --> 00:31:36,904
now!
684
00:31:36,937 --> 00:31:38,038
Let's go.
685
00:31:43,043 --> 00:31:45,278
Good knife skills. Look at that.
686
00:31:45,312 --> 00:31:47,848
- He's spent some time in the kitchen.
- Aarón: Mm-hmm.
687
00:31:47,881 --> 00:31:50,250
Samantha, give us an insight
to what you're making.
688
00:31:50,283 --> 00:31:52,452
The dish I'm preparing tonight
is a chicken piccata
689
00:31:52,486 --> 00:31:56,323
with roasted asparagus
and a potato puree.
690
00:31:56,356 --> 00:31:58,626
I make it a lot
for my sorority sisters.
691
00:31:58,659 --> 00:32:00,794
But leaving here tonight with
an apron, what would that mean?
692
00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:02,630
That would mean
everything to me.
693
00:32:02,663 --> 00:32:05,866
I dropped all of my classes.
694
00:32:05,899 --> 00:32:07,134
Pretty much gave up everything
to be here.
695
00:32:07,167 --> 00:32:08,368
Gordon: Wow! Incredible.
696
00:32:08,401 --> 00:32:10,337
Good luck.
697
00:32:10,370 --> 00:32:12,405
10 minutes gone,
20 minutes to go.
698
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:17,177
So, Mark, give us an insight
to the dish.
699
00:32:17,210 --> 00:32:19,479
I'm making a lamb chop
with sautéed asparagus,
700
00:32:19,513 --> 00:32:21,682
a potato stack
and a cauliflower puree.
701
00:32:21,715 --> 00:32:23,651
So, Mark, what do you do
for a living?
702
00:32:23,684 --> 00:32:26,219
I'm a dishwasher at my mother's
restaurant in Rockport, Maine.
703
00:32:26,253 --> 00:32:27,821
Gordon: Why not culinary school?
704
00:32:27,855 --> 00:32:29,356
Well, I find
that I've learned enough
705
00:32:29,389 --> 00:32:32,025
in my own field, personally,
independently,
706
00:32:32,059 --> 00:32:35,362
- Wow! - And just as well
through my own experience.
707
00:32:35,395 --> 00:32:37,965
I'm one of the more talented
people in this room.
708
00:32:37,998 --> 00:32:40,701
Even at 19 years old, you
feel you're above the class.
709
00:32:40,734 --> 00:32:42,502
- Absolutely.
- Self-confident.
710
00:32:45,573 --> 00:32:47,675
A lot of similarities between
Mark's story and mine.
711
00:32:47,708 --> 00:32:51,144
I also grew up washing dishes
and peeling potatoes,
712
00:32:51,178 --> 00:32:53,914
and I can tell,
by the way he moves
713
00:32:53,947 --> 00:32:55,515
and the confidence in the way
he touches a pan or food,
714
00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:58,285
that that kid has spent time
in a restaurant.
715
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,989
Aarón: One of the things
that excites me about Samantha
716
00:33:02,022 --> 00:33:04,357
is she's gotten her pans
nice and hot,
717
00:33:04,391 --> 00:33:07,227
and she's allowing the pan
to do the work for her.
718
00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:09,229
Creating a beautiful crust.
719
00:33:09,262 --> 00:33:11,665
This is always very risky.
She's adding wine.
720
00:33:11,699 --> 00:33:14,267
Let's see if she knows to burn
the alcohol out of the wine.
721
00:33:16,436 --> 00:33:17,671
- Lamb's out.
- Oh!
722
00:33:17,705 --> 00:33:19,539
Lamb is out.
723
00:33:19,573 --> 00:33:22,275
Two and a half minutes
remaining.
724
00:33:22,309 --> 00:33:24,945
I don't think that lamb's
gonna rest in time.
725
00:33:28,582 --> 00:33:32,019
60 seconds remaining.
726
00:33:32,052 --> 00:33:33,754
- This is it.
- Come on, finish strong.
727
00:33:33,787 --> 00:33:35,555
Put it on the plate.
728
00:33:35,589 --> 00:33:37,691
Aarón: Come on, Mark.
It has to be immaculate
729
00:33:37,725 --> 00:33:39,893
and gorgeous, those plates.
730
00:33:39,927 --> 00:33:42,562
25 seconds to go.
Come on, let's go.
731
00:33:42,596 --> 00:33:45,098
He has nothing plated.
732
00:33:45,132 --> 00:33:47,134
What is he doing?
733
00:33:53,306 --> 00:33:54,875
Come on, Mark. Let's go.
734
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:58,145
It has to be immaculate
and gorgeous, those plates.
735
00:33:58,178 --> 00:34:00,914
25 seconds to go.
Come on, let's go.
736
00:34:00,948 --> 00:34:03,450
He has nothing plated.
737
00:34:03,483 --> 00:34:04,752
What is he doing?
738
00:34:08,155 --> 00:34:09,222
Gordon: Ten, nine...
739
00:34:09,256 --> 00:34:13,160
Chefs: Eight, seven, six,
740
00:34:13,193 --> 00:34:17,130
five, four, three, two, one.
741
00:34:17,164 --> 00:34:19,733
- Gordon: And stop. Well done.
- Joe: Hands in the air.
742
00:34:19,767 --> 00:34:21,468
- Good job.
- Whoo!
743
00:34:21,501 --> 00:34:23,270
- Well done.
- Thank you.
744
00:34:23,303 --> 00:34:25,873
Very carefully, please bring
your dishes down to the front.
745
00:34:37,217 --> 00:34:39,653
So, Samantha,
describe the dish, please.
746
00:34:39,687 --> 00:34:42,856
So today I have for you
a chicken piccata
747
00:34:42,890 --> 00:34:47,094
with potato puree
and oven-roasted asparagus.
748
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:49,797
Just from the outside,
you got a beautiful color on it.
749
00:34:49,830 --> 00:34:52,700
Do you like the citrus level
that you have in that sauce?
750
00:34:52,733 --> 00:34:55,002
- Did you put enough lemon juice?
- I-- I believe I did.
751
00:34:55,035 --> 00:34:56,436
I got citrus from the wine
752
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,839
and then I got citrus
from the lemon juice.
753
00:35:03,076 --> 00:35:05,378
The chicken's moist.
754
00:35:05,412 --> 00:35:07,447
That skin is rendered
down beautifully.
755
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,182
Love how it's seasoned.
756
00:35:09,216 --> 00:35:10,818
I think you did a great job
creating texture.
757
00:35:10,851 --> 00:35:12,485
On the outside
there's a beautiful crust.
758
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:14,888
You're suffering
from one major thing.
759
00:35:14,922 --> 00:35:16,890
You didn't cook out
the wine enough.
760
00:35:22,062 --> 00:35:23,964
Skin is incredible.
761
00:35:23,997 --> 00:35:26,700
A little bit of naiveté
on the asparagus peeling them,
762
00:35:26,734 --> 00:35:28,902
when they should
be just roasted whole.
763
00:35:28,936 --> 00:35:31,638
Puree needs a touch more lift,
764
00:35:31,671 --> 00:35:33,073
but you cooked the chicken
beautifully.
765
00:35:33,106 --> 00:35:36,143
I can't believe
that it's so flavorsome.
766
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:37,244
Thank you.
767
00:35:40,848 --> 00:35:42,916
You know, I would ask you,
768
00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:45,953
"Did I order a chicken piccata
or a glass of Chardonnay?"
769
00:35:48,221 --> 00:35:50,557
- Good chicken, though.
- Thank you.
770
00:35:53,727 --> 00:35:57,097
Mark, describe the dish, please.
771
00:35:57,130 --> 00:36:00,734
I have a pan-roasted lamb chop
with a crispy potato stack,
772
00:36:00,768 --> 00:36:04,337
a cauliflower puree
and sautéed asparagus.
773
00:36:04,371 --> 00:36:07,775
So, visually, what do you think?
774
00:36:07,808 --> 00:36:09,877
- I like how it looks.
- Right.
775
00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:13,113
You're full of ( bleep ).
776
00:36:13,146 --> 00:36:15,482
You know and I know
that that's undercooked.
777
00:36:17,450 --> 00:36:20,087
However, I look at this bit
of lamb and it's cooked.
778
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,890
But that one there,
you know that's raw.
779
00:36:25,793 --> 00:36:28,028
So, man up a little bit. Got me?
780
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:29,997
Absolutely.
781
00:36:34,501 --> 00:36:36,103
The cauliflower doesn't taste
of cauliflower.
782
00:36:36,136 --> 00:36:38,205
It tastes of butter,
it's so rich.
783
00:36:38,238 --> 00:36:40,874
But asparagus is delicious,
potatoes okay. Fine, fried.
784
00:36:40,908 --> 00:36:43,710
However, that lamb is
not cooked properly,
785
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:47,514
but seasoning is on point so there's
something there to hold on to.
786
00:36:51,919 --> 00:36:54,721
You know, got a lot of swagger
behind the bench.
787
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:56,990
You cook like a kid
who's been in a restaurant,
788
00:36:57,024 --> 00:37:00,260
but all the swagger
and technique
789
00:37:00,293 --> 00:37:01,661
has to translate into a dish,
790
00:37:01,694 --> 00:37:04,932
and you definitely
made some errors.
791
00:37:04,965 --> 00:37:09,903
I think that your decision in butchery
was really kind of what got you wrong.
792
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:12,305
I mean, this looks
too rough, you know?
793
00:37:12,339 --> 00:37:15,242
You know, bring a little bit
of more true technique.
794
00:37:15,275 --> 00:37:17,744
You know where you learn
that technique?
795
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:20,013
Exactly the place you said
you didn't need to go.
796
00:37:20,047 --> 00:37:21,781
Culinary school.
797
00:37:30,958 --> 00:37:32,993
The seasoning is right there.
798
00:37:33,026 --> 00:37:35,028
The cook doesn't really
upset me that much.
799
00:37:35,062 --> 00:37:37,297
I just think
the lack of imagination
800
00:37:37,330 --> 00:37:38,866
with some of the other elements
801
00:37:38,899 --> 00:37:41,734
is what's a little
disappointing.
802
00:37:44,504 --> 00:37:48,041
Each of us only started out
with eight aprons to give out.
803
00:37:48,075 --> 00:37:52,846
Joe and I have already handed
out two aprons each.
804
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,315
Aarón has handed one apron.
805
00:37:55,348 --> 00:37:59,219
Joe, do you have an apron
to give out?
806
00:37:59,252 --> 00:38:01,889
It's a huge investment for me.
807
00:38:04,757 --> 00:38:06,659
- But I think I'm a no.
- Gordon: No.
808
00:38:06,693 --> 00:38:09,562
Aarón.
809
00:38:09,596 --> 00:38:11,298
Nope.
810
00:38:11,331 --> 00:38:14,534
I saw a lot of bright spots,
for sure.
811
00:38:14,567 --> 00:38:17,337
I'm just concerned
about the lack of experience.
812
00:38:17,370 --> 00:38:20,140
Gordon: I disagree,
813
00:38:20,173 --> 00:38:23,310
because what I see
is someone down there
814
00:38:23,343 --> 00:38:25,612
with tremendous potential.
815
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:34,554
That apron...
816
00:38:35,755 --> 00:38:36,957
goes to...
817
00:38:42,795 --> 00:38:44,431
( whispering ) Please.
818
00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:56,776
What I see is someone down there
with tremendous potential.
819
00:39:03,316 --> 00:39:04,784
That apron...
820
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,121
goes to...
821
00:39:14,627 --> 00:39:16,596
( whispering ) Please.
822
00:39:21,468 --> 00:39:24,537
( Cheering and applause )
823
00:39:24,571 --> 00:39:26,573
( screaming )
824
00:39:34,781 --> 00:39:37,884
Mark, come back next year.
825
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:40,420
- Okay.
- Head up high.
826
00:39:40,453 --> 00:39:41,654
Thank you.
827
00:39:45,092 --> 00:39:47,627
Mark. Hold on a second.
828
00:39:50,297 --> 00:39:52,499
You know, I'm an entrepreneur.
829
00:39:52,532 --> 00:39:54,267
I'm a business man,
I'm a restaurateur.
830
00:39:54,301 --> 00:39:59,506
I invest my money in people,
in restaurants to get a return,
831
00:39:59,539 --> 00:40:02,675
and I thought
you were investable
832
00:40:02,709 --> 00:40:04,677
for a minute.
833
00:40:04,711 --> 00:40:08,081
And then it all
kind of fell apart.
834
00:40:08,115 --> 00:40:12,119
And I thought maybe,
with my mentorship,
835
00:40:12,152 --> 00:40:14,988
I could bring him to even win
this whole competition.
836
00:40:15,022 --> 00:40:17,090
You got the skills.
837
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:19,092
You remind me of myself.
838
00:40:19,126 --> 00:40:22,996
But every investment is a deal.
839
00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:26,966
If I invest in
you with an apron...
840
00:40:29,002 --> 00:40:31,604
you would have to take
direction and listen to me
841
00:40:31,638 --> 00:40:34,774
as you compete to win.
842
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:38,611
And if you broke that deal,
843
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:41,214
the consequences
would be severe.
844
00:40:43,683 --> 00:40:45,818
You should really
think deep now,
845
00:40:45,852 --> 00:40:48,621
because maybe you should
do what Gordon said.
846
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:53,226
Leave, hone your skills,
come back another year.
847
00:40:53,260 --> 00:40:57,397
Mark, only take
this apron from me
848
00:40:57,430 --> 00:41:01,734
if you are ready
to do what it takes.
849
00:41:02,902 --> 00:41:05,238
It's your decision.
850
00:41:18,051 --> 00:41:20,053
( Cheering and applause )
851
00:41:21,288 --> 00:41:22,555
Marky!
852
00:41:23,590 --> 00:41:26,693
( Screaming )
853
00:41:26,726 --> 00:41:28,861
Whoo!
854
00:41:28,895 --> 00:41:30,830
Joe must've seen something
in me.
855
00:41:30,863 --> 00:41:33,100
He struck me a deal
and I took it
856
00:41:33,133 --> 00:41:35,502
and I couldn't be more honored
and grateful for that man
857
00:41:35,535 --> 00:41:36,936
and what he saw in me
to give me the apron.
858
00:41:36,969 --> 00:41:39,339
Good job!
859
00:41:39,372 --> 00:41:41,374
I owe it to myself,
and more than ever to him,
860
00:41:41,408 --> 00:41:42,842
to make it to the finale now.
861
00:41:42,875 --> 00:41:47,247
Your Marky got an apron!
862
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,282
The kid, I'm dealing
with raw talent here.
863
00:41:49,316 --> 00:41:50,617
I'm gonna put myself on the line
864
00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:51,918
and bring him to win
this competition.
865
00:41:51,951 --> 00:41:53,620
- You watch.
- Hold on a minute.
866
00:41:53,653 --> 00:41:55,288
Now you're saying
he's gonna win it?
867
00:41:55,322 --> 00:41:57,023
- He's gonna win it.
- Now you're dreaming.
868
00:41:57,056 --> 00:41:59,426
Maybe he got sick
from eating that raw lamb.
869
00:42:02,795 --> 00:42:04,864
Narrator: Next time...
870
00:42:04,897 --> 00:42:06,099
Game on, boys.
871
00:42:06,133 --> 00:42:08,468
...17 white aprons remain
872
00:42:08,501 --> 00:42:10,303
as the judges' battle to find
873
00:42:10,337 --> 00:42:12,805
America's next MasterChef
continues.
874
00:42:12,839 --> 00:42:15,308
I'm certain that they're gonna
pick me and not you.
875
00:42:15,342 --> 00:42:18,077
And the competition heats up...
876
00:42:18,111 --> 00:42:19,812
- Oh, whoops!
- He's all yours, man.
877
00:42:19,846 --> 00:42:22,615
...with some of the most
talented home cooks...
878
00:42:22,649 --> 00:42:25,485
- ( whispering ) That's good. - ...The
MasterChef kitchen has ever seen.
879
00:42:25,518 --> 00:42:28,788
Three aprons,
but let me tell you,
880
00:42:28,821 --> 00:42:32,625
I can get you
to the MasterChef finale.
