Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:02,101
Last week,
the pressure test,
2
00:00:02,181 --> 00:00:04,203
brought out the worst
in Christopher.
3
00:00:04,237 --> 00:00:06,905
Have you got
a little ant infestation?
4
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,907
Rolling your eyes
to the balcony?
5
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:10,042
Don't be disrespectful.
6
00:00:10,076 --> 00:00:13,111
Ending his MasterChef dream.
7
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:15,514
Tonight...
8
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:17,282
We're gonna show you
how it's done.
9
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,784
Damn!
10
00:00:18,818 --> 00:00:20,619
The judges fire up
the competition...
11
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:22,154
Oh!
12
00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:24,289
As the final nine
face an explosive challenge.
13
00:00:24,324 --> 00:00:26,225
- Whoo!
- Aah!
14
00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:28,794
You must be careful
playing with fire.
15
00:00:28,828 --> 00:00:31,263
Which home cook will produce
the hottest dish of their life?
16
00:00:31,297 --> 00:00:32,698
Really delicious.
17
00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:34,533
Boom. You just keep getting
better and better.
18
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:37,136
And who will go down in flames?
19
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:40,005
That has just put you
to the back.
20
00:00:53,152 --> 00:00:56,154
I'm in the top nine, baby!
21
00:00:56,189 --> 00:00:59,291
That feels great,
but it's also really scary.
22
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:01,793
Let's go, guys.
Welcome.
23
00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:04,763
There are eight people here
besides me
24
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:06,965
who want to be MasterChef.
25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,269
I'm gonna have
to stop these children!
26
00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:12,938
You have all faced
the heat of this kitchen,
27
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:16,575
and you've survived so far.
28
00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:19,378
It's time for your next
mystery box challenge.
29
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:24,316
Right,
on the count of three,
30
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:27,686
very carefully lift
your mystery boxes.
31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,954
One...
32
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,322
two...
33
00:01:30,356 --> 00:01:32,758
three, lift.
34
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:34,860
- Yes!
- Whoo!
35
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:36,829
Liquor!
36
00:01:36,863 --> 00:01:37,996
This is good.
37
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:39,164
Let's have a shot.
38
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:41,533
Let's get it going here.
39
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:44,036
Five different types of liqueur:
40
00:01:44,070 --> 00:01:48,473
bourbon, brandy, Calvados,
anise liqueur, Cognac,
41
00:01:48,508 --> 00:01:50,709
and some matches.
42
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:52,678
This box reminds me
of my college years.
43
00:01:52,712 --> 00:01:55,113
You know,
there's booze and matches.
44
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:56,782
This is a recipe for disaster.
45
00:01:56,816 --> 00:02:00,018
This competition is heating up
big-time,
46
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:01,353
because for this challenge,
47
00:02:01,387 --> 00:02:02,621
the dishes you are
about to make
48
00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:06,191
will all have to be flambéed.
49
00:02:06,226 --> 00:02:07,826
Now, all of you,
please come stand down here.
50
00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:09,661
We're gonna show you
how it's done.
51
00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:11,797
Getting another
cooking demonstration
52
00:02:11,831 --> 00:02:14,032
from Gordon, Graham,
and Christina
53
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:16,535
is a magical treat.
54
00:02:16,569 --> 00:02:18,904
"Flambé" in French
means "flamed."
55
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:22,307
You take alcoholic liquor
and light it on fire.
56
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:25,377
Burning off alcohol
adds a depth of flavor.
57
00:02:25,411 --> 00:02:28,680
I'm using Cognac to make one
of my favorite comfort dishes,
58
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:30,182
beef stroganof
59
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:32,217
I like to sort of elevate it
a little bit,
60
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:34,520
with some nice darker
enoki mushrooms,
61
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:37,389
a nice beef tenderloin
cut really thin,
62
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:38,557
and some micro chives.
63
00:02:38,591 --> 00:02:40,325
I'm using anise liqueur
64
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,994
to turn
these incredible mussels
65
00:02:42,028 --> 00:02:44,396
into a delicious dish.
66
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:45,931
Throw in
a little bit of shallot,
67
00:02:45,965 --> 00:02:47,566
garlic, fennel.
68
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,369
I'm using a stunning Calvados,
an apple brandy,
69
00:02:50,403 --> 00:02:53,939
to make a delicious
peach and shortbread dessert.
70
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:55,674
Make some caramel.
71
00:02:55,708 --> 00:02:59,678
Place your peaches
on top of the sugar.
72
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:02,514
You must be careful
playing with fire.
73
00:03:02,549 --> 00:03:05,884
Make sure you don't get burned.
74
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,920
In, tip, and tilt.
75
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,993
- All right.
- Damn!
76
00:03:17,063 --> 00:03:18,864
Having three judges
in front of me
77
00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:20,699
flambé three different types
of plates
78
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,135
is just an absolute delight.
79
00:03:23,169 --> 00:03:26,071
This is
a culinary student's dream.
80
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:28,240
All right, so beef stroganoff
81
00:03:28,274 --> 00:03:30,108
flambéed with Cognac.
82
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:35,113
Mussels flambéed
with anise liqueur.
83
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,582
flambéed in Calvados.
84
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:37,583
Beautiful.
85
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:39,785
Oh, my God, man!
86
00:03:39,819 --> 00:03:41,987
Those dishes look amazing.
87
00:03:42,021 --> 00:03:43,422
This flambé demonstration
88
00:03:43,456 --> 00:03:45,624
really gets
the creative juices flowing.
89
00:03:45,658 --> 00:03:47,426
All of you, please return
to your stations, thank you.
90
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,294
The closest thing I got
to flambé
91
00:03:49,329 --> 00:03:51,964
was burning down my house
in 1998,
92
00:03:51,998 --> 00:03:55,434
and I hope I don't burn down
the MasterChef kitchen today.
93
00:03:57,604 --> 00:04:01,240
Tonight, we want you to make us
a stunning flambé dish
94
00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:02,841
in just 45 minutes.
95
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:07,746
You're going to have access to
a limited pantry of ingredients
96
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:11,617
that you can use to make
your flambé dishes shine.
97
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:14,153
In there, you're going to find
proteins like pork tenderloin,
98
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:16,588
clams, sea bass, and shrimp,
99
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:20,592
as well as a bounty
of fresh fruits, vegetables,
100
00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:23,495
nuts, and dairy products.
101
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:24,897
You know what's at stake.
102
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:28,333
The winner gets a huge advantage
in the pantry.
103
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:30,602
Is everyone ready
to light this place on fire?
104
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:32,671
- Yes, Chef!
- Whoo! Yes, Chef!
105
00:04:32,705 --> 00:04:34,773
I'm so glad that
I'm not the only thing
106
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:36,708
flaming in this kitchen tonight.
107
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:44,783
Your 45 minutes starts...
108
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,785
now.
109
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,420
Whoo!
110
00:04:50,256 --> 00:04:52,524
Excuse me.
111
00:04:52,559 --> 00:04:54,026
This is the final nine.
112
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:55,494
Why flambé now?
113
00:04:55,528 --> 00:04:58,630
What does it really show us
in these home cooks' technique?
114
00:04:58,665 --> 00:05:01,033
To flambé something spectacular
is not easy to pull off.
115
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:02,835
You gotta understand:
what does it do to the flavor?
116
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:04,870
And it starts to transform
those amateur chefs
117
00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,605
into professional chefs.
118
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:10,042
I'm about to set
this mystery box on fire!
119
00:05:10,076 --> 00:05:12,711
Today I'm making
a veal Calvados
120
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:14,847
with flambéed apples.
121
00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:16,515
Top nine...
you gotta step up,
122
00:05:16,549 --> 00:05:19,418
and I need to make sure
they see what I can do.
123
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:25,758
Oh!
124
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:27,192
I'm making almond shortbreads
125
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:29,661
with a play on an old fashioned,
126
00:05:29,696 --> 00:05:33,232
so I'm going to do
a bourbon orange flambé.
127
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:36,635
I'm used to cooking with spicy,
not really with fire.
128
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:38,437
I try to avoid that,
129
00:05:38,471 --> 00:05:42,040
but there's a first time
for everything.
130
00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:43,142
Halfway, guys!
131
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:46,445
23 minutes remaining.
132
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:48,947
Voilà .
133
00:05:50,316 --> 00:05:51,683
Tommy, bonsoir. Tout va bien?
134
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:53,252
Bonsoir.
C'est trés bien aussi.
135
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:54,586
Right.
What are you doing?
136
00:05:54,621 --> 00:05:55,921
I'm going to do
one of the famous things
137
00:05:55,955 --> 00:05:58,957
from the French Quarter,
which is bananas Foster.
138
00:05:58,992 --> 00:06:00,392
Looks like tonight
you're going
139
00:06:00,426 --> 00:06:01,493
back to your roots,
Southern Louisiana.
140
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:02,561
I'm trying to.
141
00:06:02,595 --> 00:06:04,396
You know, this has got
a lot of drama in it,
142
00:06:04,431 --> 00:06:07,499
and I always love to bring
the drama to the dinner table.
143
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:08,700
I would never
have guessed that.
144
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:11,370
No.
145
00:06:11,404 --> 00:06:12,971
- How's that?
- Huh?
146
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:16,141
- Yes.
- Good luck.
147
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:19,912
All right, guys,
just over 15 minutes remaining.
148
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:20,913
Whoo!
149
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:22,448
Stephen, how we doing?
150
00:06:22,482 --> 00:06:25,017
I got, like,
magic happening right now.
151
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,386
The food, it's telling me
what it wants,
152
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:28,587
and I'm listening, yeah.
153
00:06:28,621 --> 00:06:29,755
All right, so tell me
what the finished dish
154
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:30,889
is going to be
on the plate.
155
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:32,724
I'm doing, like,
a garden on a plate here.
156
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:33,725
Okay.
157
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,095
I got sea bass
wrapped in leeks,
158
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:38,464
flambé it with some anise,
159
00:06:38,498 --> 00:06:41,300
blanched asparagus,
some little Brussels sprouts.
160
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,701
Who do you think, like,
161
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:44,403
the top two or three people
are right now?
162
00:06:44,437 --> 00:06:46,238
- Uh...
- Your biggest competition?
163
00:06:46,272 --> 00:06:47,439
Uh, Derrick,
164
00:06:47,474 --> 00:06:49,074
but I can't worry
about what he's gonna do.
165
00:06:49,109 --> 00:06:50,476
I can only concern myself
166
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,510
with right here,
right now.
167
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:54,146
All right, go.
168
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:55,147
Yeah.
169
00:06:55,181 --> 00:06:57,316
Derrick!
What are you making?
170
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:59,251
Chilean sea bass
with the fennel.
171
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,486
I'm gonna flambé
the fennel in that...
172
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,653
Smart.
173
00:07:01,688 --> 00:07:03,522
And then I'm gonna
flambé pears in bourbon.
174
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,291
I'm setting this up
super artsy.
175
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,827
Yeah, I see the potatoes cut out
with a ring cutter here.
176
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:11,330
- Yeah.
- These are beautiful!
177
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,532
I'm gonna make a tunnel
cascading down,
178
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:16,201
and then my pieces of Chilean
sea bass are gonna be in there.
179
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:19,938
This is going to be the most
stylistic plate up there,
180
00:07:19,973 --> 00:07:20,939
hands down.
181
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:22,141
All right, good luck.
182
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:23,475
I'm excited to see
how it comes together.
183
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:26,578
Thank you.
Whoo, yeah.
184
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,280
Whoo!
185
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:29,515
- Right, Katrina.
- Yes, Chef.
186
00:07:29,549 --> 00:07:30,983
- How are you feeling?
- I'm doing great.
187
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:32,251
Tell me the dish.
What are you doing?
188
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:36,355
I'm doing a sea bass
with clams and fennel, onions...
189
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:38,190
- Wow. Nice.
- Bacon, thyme.
190
00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:41,060
I alrey flambéed
the fennel and the shallots.
191
00:07:41,094 --> 00:07:42,061
- What did you use?
- Cognac.
192
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:43,362
Cognac.
Why Cognac?
193
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:44,363
- I was thinking French.
- Mmm.
194
00:07:44,397 --> 00:07:45,364
I was thinking, like,
you know, like...
195
00:07:45,398 --> 00:07:46,665
You know, crab bisque?
196
00:07:46,699 --> 00:07:49,168
And I would love to have crusty
bread to dip in, you know?
197
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,335
Nice.
Look at you. Wow.
198
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:51,904
- Yeah.
- You've gone all French on me.
199
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:53,839
- I kind of did.
- Can you do this?
200
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:55,107
- Yeah.
- Good, good luck.
201
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:56,975
Thank you very much.
202
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,844
There we go.
203
00:07:58,878 --> 00:07:59,845
How much time do we have?
204
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:02,014
90 seconds to go, guys.
205
00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:05,884
Yep, that's happening.
206
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:07,219
Oh, no.
207
00:08:07,253 --> 00:08:08,654
These dishes are looking
incredible, come on.
208
00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:10,389
Our real problem is gonna be
picking the top three here.
209
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:11,590
Yeah.
210
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:13,258
There are so many amazing dishes
out there.
211
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:14,293
Aah!
212
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:15,427
- Ten...
- Oh, my God.
213
00:08:15,462 --> 00:08:17,863
Nine, eight, seven,
214
00:08:17,897 --> 00:08:21,300
six, five, four,
215
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:24,269
three, two, one.
216
00:08:24,304 --> 00:08:26,205
- And stop!
- Whoo!
217
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,240
Hands in the air!
Well done!
218
00:08:33,758 --> 00:08:36,493
Come on, guys.
20 seconds to go.
219
00:08:36,528 --> 00:08:38,762
Do your final flambé.
220
00:08:38,797 --> 00:08:41,732
Five, four, three,
221
00:08:41,766 --> 00:08:43,867
two, one.
222
00:08:43,902 --> 00:08:45,736
- And stop!
- Whoo!
223
00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:47,471
Hands in the air!
Well done.
224
00:08:51,242 --> 00:08:52,376
Great job, all of you.
225
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:55,312
As you know,
in every mystery box challenge...
226
00:08:55,346 --> 00:08:57,080
trust me...
we watch everything.
227
00:08:57,115 --> 00:08:59,516
We taste everything.
We miss nothing.
228
00:08:59,551 --> 00:09:03,487
There are three highlights
out there that we,
229
00:09:03,521 --> 00:09:08,592
right now, are dying to take
a much closer look at.
230
00:09:08,626 --> 00:09:11,095
This first home cook's dish
231
00:09:11,129 --> 00:09:14,398
combined two different styles
of flambé.
232
00:09:14,432 --> 00:09:18,235
The dish has a fruit component.
233
00:09:18,269 --> 00:09:20,838
Please step forward,
234
00:09:20,872 --> 00:09:22,172
Tommy.
235
00:09:22,207 --> 00:09:23,540
Oh.
236
00:09:23,575 --> 00:09:28,579
Ha! Yes, baby.
I've been called first.
237
00:09:28,613 --> 00:09:31,482
The judges are gonna be
quite impressed today
238
00:09:31,516 --> 00:09:32,749
with Tommy Walton.
239
00:09:32,784 --> 00:09:35,085
Looks beautiful.
Describe the dish, please.
240
00:09:35,119 --> 00:09:39,256
It is a bananas Foster
with maple and bourbon cream,
241
00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:41,859
garnished with
Granny Smith apples.
242
00:09:41,893 --> 00:09:43,527
Inside is what?
243
00:09:43,561 --> 00:09:46,730
Inside is
a sweetened cream cheese
244
00:09:46,765 --> 00:09:48,399
th the banana inside.
245
00:09:48,433 --> 00:09:50,667
It smells
incredibly fragrant.
246
00:09:50,702 --> 00:09:53,203
And you haven't just done
the sort of cheap flambé,
247
00:09:53,238 --> 00:09:56,807
because the whole crepe
is colored beautifully.
248
00:09:56,841 --> 00:09:59,143
Mmm. Wow.
249
00:09:59,177 --> 00:10:01,645
It's rich. It's sumptuous.
It's steeped in alcohol.
250
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,282
But you've just burned off
the right amount of liqueur.
251
00:10:05,316 --> 00:10:07,284
I love what you've done
with the savoriness
252
00:10:07,318 --> 00:10:09,119
of the cream cheese inside
as well.
253
00:10:09,154 --> 00:10:10,687
Tommy, delicious.
254
00:10:10,722 --> 00:10:12,723
Merci beaucoup.
255
00:10:16,561 --> 00:10:17,528
Great flavor.
256
00:10:17,562 --> 00:10:20,264
I love the use
of the bourbon.
257
00:10:20,298 --> 00:10:21,465
I love the whipped cream.
258
00:10:21,499 --> 00:10:24,501
But where's the apple
in the dessert?
259
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:26,603
The apple is really
just the garnish,
260
00:10:26,638 --> 00:10:28,505
and the apple was
actually cooked in the pan
261
00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:29,840
along with the bananas.
262
00:10:29,874 --> 00:10:32,576
If there was anything
that I'd do to change it up,
263
00:10:32,610 --> 00:10:35,145
it would simply be
to omit the apple.
264
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:36,880
Apple, kind of coming
from left field.
265
00:10:36,915 --> 00:10:38,782
But what's on the plate
is delicious.
266
00:10:38,817 --> 00:10:41,518
- Good job.
- Thank you.
267
00:10:43,454 --> 00:10:45,422
I'm glad you went down
the dessert route.
268
00:10:45,457 --> 00:10:46,490
Oh, good.
269
00:10:46,524 --> 00:10:48,525
I'm very happy
to have seen that.
270
00:10:51,329 --> 00:10:53,630
You have really simple,
humble flavors,
271
00:10:53,665 --> 00:10:57,267
but you've found a way to have
them sort of scream and shout.
272
00:10:57,302 --> 00:10:58,735
Oh.
Thank you.
273
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:00,571
I think that your pecans,
for me,
274
00:11:00,605 --> 00:11:02,272
provide plenty of texture.
275
00:11:02,307 --> 00:11:05,476
The crepes are beautiful.
They're perfectly thin.
276
00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:08,812
The flavor that you achieved
in that caramel flambéing
277
00:11:08,847 --> 00:11:10,481
really shows your confidence
278
00:11:10,515 --> 00:11:12,282
and strength
in this challenge, so...
279
00:11:12,317 --> 00:11:13,617
- Thank you.
- Yes.
280
00:11:16,488 --> 00:11:19,890
This second dish that
we'd like to examine further,
281
00:11:19,924 --> 00:11:23,327
this person was one of a number
of home cooks out there
282
00:11:23,361 --> 00:11:26,330
that went down
the seafood route.
283
00:11:26,364 --> 00:11:30,601
They also opted to use
the anise-flavored liqueur,
284
00:11:30,635 --> 00:11:32,236
a great flavor.
285
00:11:32,270 --> 00:11:34,738
We really want to dive into it.
286
00:11:34,773 --> 00:11:37,608
Please come forward,
287
00:11:37,642 --> 00:11:38,642
Katrina.
288
00:11:40,845 --> 00:11:43,280
I've been in the top twice
for mystery boxes,
289
00:11:43,314 --> 00:11:44,748
and I haven't n one.
290
00:11:44,783 --> 00:11:46,183
I'm aching for one,
291
00:11:46,217 --> 00:11:49,686
and today, hopefully,
it will happen.
292
00:11:49,721 --> 00:11:52,823
All right, so, Katrina,
tell me what the dish is.
293
00:11:52,857 --> 00:11:56,360
It's a pan-seared sea bass
with a seafood stew,
294
00:11:56,394 --> 00:12:00,631
which contains clams,
bacon, fennel, heavy cream.
295
00:12:02,867 --> 00:12:04,234
Look at that.
296
00:12:04,269 --> 00:12:05,636
I got bacon.
I've got clams.
297
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:08,439
I've got fennel.
I've got the fish.
298
00:12:13,511 --> 00:12:16,447
You've made
so many tasty dishes for us.
299
00:12:16,481 --> 00:12:19,717
You've been
an amazing team captain.
300
00:12:19,751 --> 00:12:22,352
However, you just keep
getting better and better.
301
00:12:22,387 --> 00:12:23,520
This is the best dish
I've tasted from you.
302
00:12:23,555 --> 00:12:24,788
Thank you.
303
00:12:24,823 --> 00:12:27,424
The stew, the bacon,
and all the flavoring in there
304
00:12:27,459 --> 00:12:29,159
is so tasty.
305
00:12:29,194 --> 00:12:32,362
And that cook on the fish
just shows, like...
306
00:12:32,397 --> 00:12:33,731
boom...
that you've got it.
307
00:12:33,765 --> 00:12:35,699
You can go any direction,
and I'm proud
308
00:12:35,733 --> 00:12:37,434
to see you
continue that journey.
309
00:12:37,469 --> 00:12:40,304
- Getting better and better.
- Thank you so much.
310
00:12:42,507 --> 00:12:43,574
Why sea bass?
311
00:12:43,608 --> 00:12:47,778
I wanted to think
about a hearty dish.
312
00:12:47,812 --> 00:12:49,880
I mean,
I'm from a big family.
313
00:12:49,914 --> 00:12:52,449
It's never small portions.
That's really hard for me, so...
314
00:12:52,484 --> 00:12:53,450
That's fine.
315
00:12:53,485 --> 00:12:55,419
The dish has rustic charm.
316
00:12:55,453 --> 00:12:57,287
It feels like I'm in Brittany,
on the coast,
317
00:12:57,322 --> 00:12:58,489
sat on a little port.
318
00:12:58,523 --> 00:13:00,457
Love what you did
with that fennel.
319
00:13:00,492 --> 00:13:03,560
It's delivering
a punch in flavor.
320
00:13:03,595 --> 00:13:04,862
It's delicious.
Great job.
321
00:13:04,896 --> 00:13:07,364
- Well done. Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
322
00:13:11,803 --> 00:13:13,737
The third and final dish
323
00:13:13,772 --> 00:13:16,640
we want to take
a closer look at
324
00:13:16,674 --> 00:13:20,310
is a dish
that's truly restaurant quality.
325
00:13:20,345 --> 00:13:22,613
This home cook
used sea bass
326
00:13:22,647 --> 00:13:24,882
as the main protein
on their plate.
327
00:13:24,916 --> 00:13:28,285
Please welcome...
328
00:13:28,319 --> 00:13:29,620
Stephen.
329
00:13:30,755 --> 00:13:33,190
Oh, my God!
I don't believe that.
330
00:13:33,224 --> 00:13:34,558
Today I cooked my heart out.
331
00:13:34,592 --> 00:13:37,561
I gave 'em my best.
I deserve it.
332
00:13:37,595 --> 00:13:39,763
I deserve to be
in the top three.
333
00:13:39,798 --> 00:13:41,331
Thank you. Thank you.
334
00:13:41,366 --> 00:13:44,401
Stephen, tell me
about your dish.
335
00:13:44,436 --> 00:13:46,637
Sea bass wrapped in leeks,
flambéed,
336
00:13:46,671 --> 00:13:51,241
and then slowly braised with
garlic and shallots and pecan.
337
00:13:56,848 --> 00:13:59,116
It is darn delicious.
338
00:13:59,150 --> 00:14:01,352
It shows that you clearly know
how to cook a piece of fish.
339
00:14:01,386 --> 00:14:03,721
It has incredible richness,
incredible depth of flavor.
340
00:14:03,755 --> 00:14:04,855
There's some acidity.
341
00:14:04,889 --> 00:14:07,324
You're channeling
so much confidence
342
00:14:07,358 --> 00:14:09,493
and knowledge in this dish.
343
00:14:09,527 --> 00:14:12,463
I would be blown away
if I went to a restaurant
344
00:14:12,497 --> 00:14:14,164
and ordered this dish.
345
00:14:14,199 --> 00:14:16,533
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
346
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,641
Uh, the alcohol,
you've been clever with it
347
00:14:24,676 --> 00:14:26,276
without being overindulgent.
348
00:14:26,311 --> 00:14:27,711
You showed finesse.
349
00:14:27,746 --> 00:14:29,113
Touch more seasoning
underneath
350
00:14:29,147 --> 00:14:30,814
before you wrap things,
but it's great.
351
00:14:30,849 --> 00:14:33,317
Whether you like it or not,
you're this wild beast.
352
00:14:33,351 --> 00:14:34,551
We've gotta bring
the best out in you,
353
00:14:34,586 --> 00:14:36,286
and I think this dish
highlights it.
354
00:14:36,321 --> 00:14:37,521
- Good job.
- Ha ha!
355
00:14:42,694 --> 00:14:44,361
Great job.
356
00:14:50,602 --> 00:14:51,568
Quick on that one.
That was good.
357
00:14:51,603 --> 00:14:52,569
- Yeah.
- Very good.
358
00:14:52,604 --> 00:14:53,570
- So good.
- Awesome.
359
00:14:53,605 --> 00:14:54,738
One's restaurant quality.
360
00:14:54,773 --> 00:14:56,040
One's like
a nice little bistro-y deal.
361
00:14:56,074 --> 00:14:57,041
Yes.
362
00:14:57,075 --> 00:14:59,676
Katrina's dish looks beautiful,
363
00:14:59,711 --> 00:15:01,645
and Stephen's dish
364
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:04,648
looks like we're taking a walk
in his garden.
365
00:15:04,683 --> 00:15:09,453
But I know my mama would love
this bananas Foster,
366
00:15:09,487 --> 00:15:14,725
and my mama is telling me,
"My baby's got this one."
367
00:15:16,327 --> 00:15:17,761
Tommy, Katrina, Stephen,
368
00:15:17,796 --> 00:15:20,631
tonight you produced
three stunning flambé dishes,
369
00:15:20,665 --> 00:15:26,236
but only one of you will receive
a game-changing advantage.
370
00:15:26,271 --> 00:15:28,572
The winning dish that we felt
371
00:15:28,606 --> 00:15:33,010
used the flambéing technique
to highlight their dish,
372
00:15:33,044 --> 00:15:34,011
congratulations...
373
00:15:43,013 --> 00:15:46,449
The winning dish,
congratulations...
374
00:15:49,787 --> 00:15:51,988
Stephen!
375
00:15:52,022 --> 00:15:53,990
Yeah!
376
00:15:54,024 --> 00:15:55,758
Finally I won a mystery box!
377
00:15:56,894 --> 00:15:59,662
I'm feeling electric
right now, man.
378
00:15:59,697 --> 00:16:03,666
Are you ready to join us
in the MasterChef pantry
379
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:07,470
and receive
your huge advantage?
380
00:16:07,504 --> 00:16:09,205
- I am ready.
- Let's go.
381
00:16:10,741 --> 00:16:12,942
As the winner
of the mystery box challenge,
382
00:16:12,977 --> 00:16:17,680
Stephen is now in control
of the elimination test,
383
00:16:17,715 --> 00:16:22,018
where at least one person
will leave the competition.
384
00:16:22,052 --> 00:16:23,786
Let's get this party started!
385
00:16:23,821 --> 00:16:24,787
Let's...
I don't...
386
00:16:24,822 --> 00:16:25,788
- Whoo!
- I d...
387
00:16:27,558 --> 00:16:30,627
For your first
big advantage tonight,
388
00:16:30,661 --> 00:16:34,163
you do not have to cook
in tonight's elimination.
389
00:16:34,198 --> 00:16:35,899
Yeah! Whoo!
390
00:16:35,933 --> 00:16:37,133
Thank you.
391
00:16:37,168 --> 00:16:39,535
For your second
big advantage tonight,
392
00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:41,871
you will get to choose
what everybody out there
393
00:16:41,906 --> 00:16:43,139
will be cooking tonight.
394
00:16:43,173 --> 00:16:45,108
I love it!
395
00:16:45,142 --> 00:16:47,110
You will be choosing
396
00:16:47,144 --> 00:16:50,079
from the food of the South.
397
00:16:50,114 --> 00:16:51,814
I love Southern food.
398
00:16:51,849 --> 00:16:53,516
I grew up in Virginia,
399
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:55,652
- and I know Southern food.
- Mm.
400
00:16:55,686 --> 00:16:59,856
Under here is one of my absolute
favorite things to make
401
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:01,558
and to eat.
402
00:17:03,027 --> 00:17:04,928
Shrimp and grits.
403
00:17:04,962 --> 00:17:08,665
Simple, homey,
but it's not easy to get right.
404
00:17:08,699 --> 00:17:11,568
One bum note
and this dish is a disaster.
405
00:17:11,602 --> 00:17:14,704
Next up,
one of my absolute favorite
406
00:17:14,738 --> 00:17:17,073
Southern-inspired dishes.
407
00:17:18,976 --> 00:17:20,643
- Chicken and waffles!
- Yeah!
408
00:17:20,678 --> 00:17:22,845
Two totally different
techniques,
409
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,014
nowhere near
as easy as it looks.
410
00:17:25,049 --> 00:17:26,416
No.
411
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:30,453
This is the pride and joy
of New Orleans.
412
00:17:32,523 --> 00:17:33,556
Gumbo.
413
00:17:33,591 --> 00:17:35,124
Takes a lot of skill
to get right.
414
00:17:35,159 --> 00:17:36,759
You have to be precise
415
00:17:36,794 --> 00:17:38,461
and make sure you get
the balance of flavors
416
00:17:38,495 --> 00:17:39,796
absolutely spot-on.
417
00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:44,400
If you don't, gumbo can go
from greatness to gruel.
418
00:17:44,435 --> 00:17:46,402
All right, Stephen,
it's up to you now
419
00:17:46,437 --> 00:17:49,539
to choose between one
of these three Southern dishes:
420
00:17:49,573 --> 00:17:50,974
shrimp and grits,
421
00:17:51,008 --> 00:17:52,709
chicken and waffles,
422
00:17:52,743 --> 00:17:53,877
or gumbo.
423
00:17:53,911 --> 00:17:57,080
I'm gonna have to lean
a little bit towards...
424
00:18:02,987 --> 00:18:04,921
Ha ha!
425
00:18:04,955 --> 00:18:08,758
You can see for yourselves
that Stephen does not
426
00:18:08,792 --> 00:18:13,129
have to cook in tonight's
tough elimination challenge.
427
00:18:13,164 --> 00:18:15,398
For his second advantage
tonight,
428
00:18:15,432 --> 00:18:20,770
Stephen got to choose from three
of our favorite Southern dishes.
429
00:18:20,804 --> 00:18:23,139
Stephen chose...
430
00:18:25,075 --> 00:18:26,843
Chicken and waffles.
431
00:18:26,877 --> 00:18:29,712
People don't think
that I'm a Southern boy,
432
00:18:29,747 --> 00:18:32,849
but the trutis,
I'm Creole, honey!
433
00:18:32,883 --> 00:18:35,084
I love chicken and waffles,
434
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,021
more than church loves sin!
435
00:18:38,055 --> 00:18:41,758
Everybody will have 60 minutes
to make us
436
00:18:41,792 --> 00:18:43,459
the best chicken and waffle
you've ever made
437
00:18:43,494 --> 00:18:45,762
in your entire lives.
438
00:18:45,796 --> 00:18:49,518
Actually, that's not
entirely true.
439
00:18:49,552 --> 00:18:51,687
Stepheotr advantage
440
00:18:51,721 --> 00:18:53,756
that we didn't tell you about.
441
00:18:53,790 --> 00:18:56,225
You will get to choose
one person
442
00:18:56,259 --> 00:18:59,561
that has to make the chicken
and waffle dish in 30 minutes.
443
00:18:59,596 --> 00:19:01,597
[bleep].
444
00:19:01,631 --> 00:19:03,999
- Half the time.
- Oh, nice.
445
00:19:06,169 --> 00:19:09,071
So, Stephen, it's time
to tell us your decision.
446
00:19:09,105 --> 00:19:11,941
Basically, I have a list
of each name
447
00:19:11,975 --> 00:19:13,742
from the beginning
of the competition.
448
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:15,778
Obviously there was
a lot more names here.
449
00:19:15,812 --> 00:19:18,147
On the top of the list are
my toughest competition.
450
00:19:18,181 --> 00:19:21,583
You see Derrick on the top
right over here next to my name.
451
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:24,520
Um, this is because
I'm looking at him.
452
00:19:24,554 --> 00:19:25,954
Drum roll.
Who is it, please?
453
00:19:25,989 --> 00:19:27,656
♪ Bum bum bum bum bum ♪
454
00:19:27,691 --> 00:19:31,960
I will take Derrick, the little
drummer boy, for 500, please.
455
00:19:34,597 --> 00:19:36,899
Buh-bye. Buh-bye.
456
00:19:36,933 --> 00:19:39,435
You watch me work in 30 minutes,
Stephen.
457
00:19:40,637 --> 00:19:43,105
Think of what's at stake...
elimination.
458
00:19:43,139 --> 00:19:48,711
This could be your last time
cooking in this kitchen.
459
00:19:48,745 --> 00:19:52,681
Your 60 minutes starts now.
460
00:19:52,716 --> 00:19:54,350
Ooh!
461
00:19:54,384 --> 00:19:55,984
- Tommy.
- Yeah, baby.
462
00:19:56,019 --> 00:19:57,386
Derrick, there's no rush.
You've got plenty of time.
463
00:19:59,923 --> 00:20:01,090
- Whoa!
- Aah!
464
00:20:01,124 --> 00:20:02,591
Chicken.
465
00:20:02,625 --> 00:20:05,628
I'm going last.
I got 30 minutes to waste.
466
00:20:05,662 --> 00:20:07,663
Chicken and waffles,
one of my favorite treats
467
00:20:07,697 --> 00:20:09,498
at home for me
and my little girl.
468
00:20:09,532 --> 00:20:13,202
We deep-fry.
We make a nice, creamy batter.
469
00:20:13,236 --> 00:20:14,503
Let's go!
470
00:20:14,537 --> 00:20:16,271
I was raised in the South,
so come on.
471
00:20:16,306 --> 00:20:19,942
I can't wait to kill this one.
472
00:20:25,148 --> 00:20:28,717
Why do you think Stephen
chose chicken and waffles?
473
00:20:28,752 --> 00:20:32,154
It's the hardest to nail
with the two techniques.
474
00:20:32,188 --> 00:20:33,255
A lot could go wrong.
475
00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:34,823
Christina,
the perfect waffle.
476
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:36,058
I'd put a little bit of corn,
477
00:20:36,092 --> 00:20:38,093
sort of bring out the sweetness
but the earthiness
478
00:20:38,128 --> 00:20:39,228
that a waffle can bring.
479
00:20:39,262 --> 00:20:40,896
That waffle needs to be crispy
480
00:20:40,931 --> 00:20:42,431
in order to hold
the maple syrup.
481
00:20:42,465 --> 00:20:43,932
- Sure.
- And the butter?
482
00:20:43,967 --> 00:20:49,538
If they do not nonstick spray
those waffle irons, you're gone.
483
00:20:49,572 --> 00:20:51,173
Yeah, my big worry tonight
is the oil.
484
00:20:51,207 --> 00:20:53,842
If they get that oil too hot and
the chicken colors too quickly
485
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:55,177
and they think it's cooked
486
00:20:55,211 --> 00:20:58,480
and the inside of that chicken
is still bloody, bang.
487
00:20:58,515 --> 00:20:59,915
- Yeah.
- Game over.
488
00:20:59,949 --> 00:21:03,185
Sorry.
489
00:21:03,219 --> 00:21:04,954
I'm proud to be from California,
so I'm doing
490
00:21:04,988 --> 00:21:07,089
a Southwest fried chicken
and waffles
491
00:21:07,123 --> 00:21:09,525
with a horseradish maple syrup.
492
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:13,028
I'm really excited about this.
493
00:21:13,063 --> 00:21:16,966
I am making cayenne and
buttermilk fried chicken legs
494
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,935
with lemon and thyme waffle.
495
00:21:19,970 --> 00:21:22,638
Definitely something that
I love to make with my munchkin,
496
00:21:22,672 --> 00:21:27,109
and I want to make her
proud today.
497
00:21:27,143 --> 00:21:28,310
Right, Tommy,
how are you doing?
498
00:21:28,345 --> 00:21:30,546
I'm doing okay, Chef.
Thanks for asking.
499
00:21:30,580 --> 00:21:31,680
Tell me about this.
What's going on?
500
00:21:31,715 --> 00:21:34,149
I'm doing
a duck fat fried chicken.
501
00:21:34,184 --> 00:21:35,985
Whose recipe is that?
502
00:21:36,019 --> 00:21:39,121
That's my recipe.
It can be yours too, you know.
503
00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:42,057
You are in your wheelhouse.
You are in the comfort zone.
504
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:44,193
Confident you can nail this?
505
00:21:44,227 --> 00:21:45,794
I think I've got it
pretty good.
506
00:21:45,829 --> 00:21:48,130
- 36 minutes to nail it.
- Okay.
507
00:21:48,164 --> 00:21:49,765
Hurry up, let's go.
508
00:21:52,736 --> 00:21:56,472
I'm doing miso fried chicken
with scallion waffles.
509
00:21:56,506 --> 00:21:57,740
Kind of thought, like,
hey, let's bring
510
00:21:57,774 --> 00:21:59,875
something different to it.
511
00:21:59,909 --> 00:22:05,648
I have confidence now,
so I just want to do my best.
512
00:22:05,682 --> 00:22:08,517
Derrick, 30 seconds to go.
513
00:22:08,551 --> 00:22:11,720
Derrick, good luck.
I believe in you.
514
00:22:11,755 --> 00:22:12,721
- No, you don't.
- I do.
515
00:22:12,756 --> 00:22:14,156
Get out of here.
516
00:22:14,190 --> 00:22:15,991
Stephen put the target
on Derrick's back.
517
00:22:16,026 --> 00:22:17,559
He's taken 30 minutes
from his cook time.
518
00:22:17,594 --> 00:22:19,495
Derrick already has
one foot out the door.
519
00:22:19,529 --> 00:22:20,996
Well, I wish you all the luck.
520
00:22:21,031 --> 00:22:22,631
All right.
521
00:22:22,666 --> 00:22:24,633
Five, four,
522
00:22:24,668 --> 00:22:27,136
three, two, one.
523
00:22:27,170 --> 00:22:29,638
- And start. Derrick, let's go.
- All right.
524
00:22:29,673 --> 00:22:30,973
Let's go, Derrick.
525
00:22:31,007 --> 00:22:31,974
Right behind you.
526
00:22:32,008 --> 00:22:33,542
I want to watch the magic.
527
00:22:33,576 --> 00:22:35,077
They've made their waffles.
They've marinated their chicken.
528
00:22:35,111 --> 00:22:36,078
Derrick has just
started cooking.
529
00:22:36,112 --> 00:22:37,346
Yup.
530
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:39,214
Chicken takes minimum 20,
25 minutes to cook.
531
00:22:39,249 --> 00:22:41,717
Do you really think
this is Derrick's last moment?
532
00:22:41,751 --> 00:22:44,219
I don't think this is possible.
I don't think he's gonna do it.
533
00:22:44,254 --> 00:22:47,723
Derrick. Derrick.
534
00:22:47,757 --> 00:22:48,724
Derrick!
535
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:50,159
Hey, buddy. How you doing?
536
00:22:50,193 --> 00:22:52,428
Figuring it out in my head.
You know me. You know me.
537
00:22:53,563 --> 00:22:56,498
It is such a treat
to irritate Derrick.
538
00:22:56,533 --> 00:22:57,900
I love you.
539
00:22:57,934 --> 00:22:59,735
This is like playing Battleship
with little kids, you know?
540
00:22:59,769 --> 00:23:02,638
I want to hit that target,
and I want to sink that ship.
541
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:05,140
There is going to be a war
in this kitchen.
542
00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:06,575
- Derrick?
- Yes, baby.
543
00:23:06,609 --> 00:23:07,877
The door's right there.
544
00:23:07,911 --> 00:23:09,111
Aah!
545
00:23:14,289 --> 00:23:15,889
They've made their waffles.
They've marinated their chicken.
546
00:23:15,924 --> 00:23:17,091
Derrick has just
started cooking.
547
00:23:17,125 --> 00:23:18,759
- Derrick...
- Yes, baby.
548
00:23:18,793 --> 00:23:21,462
- The door is right there.
- Aah!
549
00:23:21,496 --> 00:23:22,758
Yeah.
550
00:23:22,838 --> 00:23:24,572
Stephen is taking
the psychological warfare
551
00:23:24,607 --> 00:23:25,607
to a completely different level.
552
00:23:25,641 --> 00:23:27,742
- I believe in you.
- All right.
553
00:23:27,776 --> 00:23:29,410
This is going to
make you stronger.
554
00:23:29,445 --> 00:23:30,845
It's going to make you
a better cook.
555
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,846
Get out of here.
556
00:23:31,881 --> 00:23:33,948
23 minutes to go.
557
00:23:33,983 --> 00:23:35,583
Oops.
[bleep].
558
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:39,187
Buttermilk back to breading,
back to butterm...
559
00:23:39,221 --> 00:23:40,655
- Hetal.
- Yes.
560
00:23:40,689 --> 00:23:41,956
All right,
so talk to me about the dish.
561
00:23:41,991 --> 00:23:43,191
This is your waffle?
562
00:23:43,225 --> 00:23:45,560
It's cornmeal, onion,
some spices.
563
00:23:45,594 --> 00:23:46,961
Smells good.
564
00:23:46,996 --> 00:23:49,164
Kind of reminds me
of something my mom makes me
565
00:23:49,198 --> 00:23:51,132
called pudla
when I would be sick.
566
00:23:51,167 --> 00:23:52,534
This feels like you.
567
00:23:52,568 --> 00:23:54,068
I was very worried you would
get lost in this challenge.
568
00:23:54,103 --> 00:23:55,270
So was I.
569
00:23:55,304 --> 00:23:57,172
But I'm still worried
about the chicken.
570
00:23:57,206 --> 00:24:01,209
So I'm going to go buttermilk,
flour, bread, into the oil.
571
00:24:01,243 --> 00:24:02,811
The hope is that
I have the technique.
572
00:24:02,845 --> 00:24:04,245
Good luck.
This is delicious.
573
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,748
Thank you.
574
00:24:06,782 --> 00:24:08,349
This is a dead piece.
This piece is dying.
575
00:24:11,887 --> 00:24:13,354
Right, Shelly, how you doing?
576
00:24:13,389 --> 00:24:15,223
I'm doing pretty good. I'm just
redoing this last waffle.
577
00:24:15,257 --> 00:24:16,524
Redoing the waffle?
578
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:18,560
I tested it, but that one
I didn't like the browning,
579
00:24:18,594 --> 00:24:21,029
so I went back in with it,
and then it got all weird.
580
00:24:21,063 --> 00:24:22,230
What style of chicken...
581
00:24:22,264 --> 00:24:23,698
Where are we going?
We going tender, drum?
582
00:24:23,732 --> 00:24:25,667
I'm actually doing
whichever one comes out best.
583
00:24:25,701 --> 00:24:26,835
- This is in your wheelhouse,
right?
- Yes.
584
00:24:26,869 --> 00:24:28,470
This isomething
that you ck a lot of,
585
00:24:28,504 --> 00:24:30,038
so you should be pretty familiar
with this, right?
586
00:24:30,072 --> 00:24:32,774
I'm familiar with it, but that's
kind of my Achilles heel
587
00:24:32,808 --> 00:24:33,775
when I get so confident
in something,
588
00:24:33,809 --> 00:24:34,976
I kind of psych myself out.
589
00:24:35,010 --> 00:24:36,277
Really? Okay, you've got
nine minutes to nail it.
590
00:24:36,312 --> 00:24:37,812
- Good luck.
- Yes, Chef. Thank you.
591
00:24:37,847 --> 00:24:40,582
All or nothing.
592
00:24:40,616 --> 00:24:42,283
Beautiful, Shelly.
593
00:24:42,318 --> 00:24:43,618
- Derrick.
- What's up?
594
00:24:43,652 --> 00:24:45,253
- All right, how you feeling?
- Cool as a cucumber.
595
00:24:45,287 --> 00:24:47,255
You got fried chicken.
What'd you go with, a breast?
596
00:24:47,289 --> 00:24:49,290
I did
a cayenne buttermilk crust.
597
00:24:49,325 --> 00:24:50,558
Okay.
598
00:24:50,593 --> 00:24:52,827
I got
a beautiful Belgian waffle.
599
00:24:52,862 --> 00:24:54,262
Ooh, looks good.
600
00:24:54,296 --> 00:24:57,265
Then I got
a blackberry chili maple sauce.
601
00:24:57,299 --> 00:24:58,933
Are you gonna have
to lower the standards,
602
00:24:58,968 --> 00:25:00,602
or are you going to be able
to pull it off?
603
00:25:00,636 --> 00:25:01,903
It was a waste for Stephen.
604
00:25:01,937 --> 00:25:04,305
I will never sacrifice
presentation.
605
00:25:04,340 --> 00:25:05,607
- I'm going to nail this.
- Wow.
606
00:25:05,641 --> 00:25:07,775
Okay, thanks.
607
00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:10,879
Two minutes to go, guys.
608
00:25:10,913 --> 00:25:13,181
You've got to start
thinking of plating.
609
00:25:13,215 --> 00:25:15,550
Hetal's waffle is delicious.
610
00:25:15,584 --> 00:25:17,318
Wow, that's great. Great news.
611
00:25:17,353 --> 00:25:19,754
If she can pull this chicken
off, she might be in the top.
612
00:25:19,789 --> 00:25:20,955
I did it right!
613
00:25:20,990 --> 00:25:22,891
Hopefully it tastes good.
That's the goal.
614
00:25:22,925 --> 00:25:24,759
Shelly's choosing
betweex different waffles.
615
00:25:24,794 --> 00:25:26,027
None of them have color.
616
00:25:26,062 --> 00:25:29,330
How many times have we seen
an elimination challenge
617
00:25:29,365 --> 00:25:30,965
where this dish is
in their wheelhouse,
618
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,601
and they just completely fail?
619
00:25:33,636 --> 00:25:35,270
I think she has all
the potential, but it's up here.
620
00:25:35,304 --> 00:25:37,906
She's got to get
out of her head.
621
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:40,408
All right,
let's do this one more time.
622
00:25:40,442 --> 00:25:41,776
30 seconds to go.
623
00:25:41,811 --> 00:25:43,077
The chicken she's going
to serve us has the batter
624
00:25:43,112 --> 00:25:44,879
already pulled off.
625
00:25:44,914 --> 00:25:47,715
She's giving us chicken
that has no color on it.
626
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:49,150
Ten, nine,
627
00:25:49,185 --> 00:25:51,286
eight, seven,
628
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,755
six, five,
629
00:25:53,789 --> 00:25:55,757
four, three,
630
00:25:55,791 --> 00:25:59,227
two, one, and stop.
631
00:25:59,261 --> 00:26:01,730
- Well done.
- Whoo!
632
00:26:01,764 --> 00:26:05,467
Wow. That's what I call
a energetic 60 minutes.
633
00:26:05,501 --> 00:26:06,735
Great job.
634
00:26:06,769 --> 00:26:11,706
First up, the person
who was up against it the most.
635
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:15,009
Derrick, let's go please.
636
00:26:15,044 --> 00:26:18,379
Looking at my finished dish,
I am a little nervous.
637
00:26:18,414 --> 00:26:20,615
I got 30 minutes
to cook chicken and waffles.
638
00:26:20,649 --> 00:26:22,584
It's not easy by any means,
639
00:26:22,618 --> 00:26:26,521
and I hope
they really admire my effort.
640
00:26:26,555 --> 00:26:30,525
Okay, before I say anything, how
does it make you feel that he,
641
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,061
up there on the balcony,
in minutes from now
642
00:26:33,095 --> 00:26:35,230
wants you sat at home?
643
00:26:35,264 --> 00:26:37,098
I've had a target on my back
since I got here.
644
00:26:37,133 --> 00:26:38,933
I'm going to wear it
like a cape.
645
00:26:38,968 --> 00:26:40,135
Batman has a cape.
646
00:26:40,169 --> 00:26:42,637
Superman has a cape.
Mine's red and white.
647
00:26:42,671 --> 00:26:45,874
That's cool.
Hope you can use it to fly home.
648
00:26:48,711 --> 00:26:49,677
There you go.
649
00:26:49,712 --> 00:26:51,546
Derrick, describe the dish,
please.
650
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:53,381
Buttermilk chicken and waffles
651
00:26:53,416 --> 00:26:57,218
with a spicy blackberry
and maple reduction.
652
00:26:57,253 --> 00:26:58,319
You had half the time
that everybody else
653
00:26:58,354 --> 00:26:59,654
standing behind you
had tonight.
654
00:26:59,688 --> 00:27:02,257
Up against it
with 30 minutes,
655
00:27:02,291 --> 00:27:05,093
the tender needs to be
cooked absolutely perfect.
656
00:27:07,596 --> 00:27:11,332
Chicken, nice and crisp.
657
00:27:11,367 --> 00:27:12,634
Seasoned beautifully.
658
00:27:12,668 --> 00:27:14,769
It actually tastes better
than it looks.
659
00:27:14,804 --> 00:27:16,004
The waffle is delicious.
660
00:27:16,038 --> 00:27:18,273
Crunchy on the outside,
light in the middle.
661
00:27:18,307 --> 00:27:19,674
It's a brave effort.
662
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:21,309
It's not your best.
Let's get that right.
663
00:27:21,343 --> 00:27:24,946
But I'm amazed you got something
done with that level of finesse
664
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:26,147
in 30 minutes.
665
00:27:26,182 --> 00:27:27,248
Thank you, Derrick.
666
00:27:27,283 --> 00:27:30,585
Thank you, Gordon.
667
00:27:30,619 --> 00:27:33,521
Looking at the dish, I love
the idea of kind of keeping it
668
00:27:33,556 --> 00:27:35,890
Southern in spirit
with the blackberries.
669
00:27:35,925 --> 00:27:37,759
You stewed down
fresh blackberry...
670
00:27:37,793 --> 00:27:41,796
Blackberries and maple
and then a dash of Sriracha
671
00:27:41,831 --> 00:27:44,532
and blood orange.
672
00:27:44,567 --> 00:27:46,935
The glaze is awesome.
673
00:27:46,969 --> 00:27:49,304
Ton of flavor, acidity,
the chicken itself,
674
00:27:49,338 --> 00:27:50,638
it's got a good crunch on it.
675
00:27:50,673 --> 00:27:51,806
The technique is there.
676
00:27:51,841 --> 00:27:53,274
Chicken's a little dry,
but of course,
677
00:27:53,309 --> 00:27:55,009
I think that's inherent
with the tender.
678
00:27:55,044 --> 00:27:56,578
When I think fried chicken,
I never think white meat.
679
00:27:56,612 --> 00:27:58,046
Okay.
680
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,981
However, with 30 minutes, you
did not have a lot of options.
681
00:28:00,015 --> 00:28:01,082
I didn't.
682
00:28:01,117 --> 00:28:02,150
I think
it's the smartest choice,
683
00:28:02,184 --> 00:28:04,953
and the flavor of the waffle...
awesome.
684
00:28:04,987 --> 00:28:07,021
- Yeah!
- Good job.
685
00:28:07,056 --> 00:28:11,226
Stephen's attempt to knock me
off, it's not working,
686
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:12,560
'cause guess what,
I'm not going home today.
687
00:28:12,595 --> 00:28:14,596
My chicken is good.
688
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:17,232
Next up, Hetal.
689
00:28:17,266 --> 00:28:19,868
My chicken and waffles
look gorgeous.
690
00:28:19,902 --> 00:28:22,370
But since I've never ever
had chicken and waffles,
691
00:28:22,405 --> 00:28:23,571
who knows if it tastes good?
692
00:28:23,606 --> 00:28:25,206
I don't know.
693
00:28:25,241 --> 00:28:26,908
- Hetal.
- Hello.
694
00:28:26,942 --> 00:28:28,276
Tell me what you've made.
695
00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:32,180
It's a cornmeal waffle with
cilantro, peppers, and onions
696
00:28:32,214 --> 00:28:35,750
in it with ginger, nutmeg,
Indian spice fried chicken.
697
00:28:35,785 --> 00:28:40,622
Basically, your comfort food
that I have now Hetal-ified
698
00:28:40,656 --> 00:28:42,957
to my version
of Indian comfort food.
699
00:28:42,992 --> 00:28:44,926
Looks like you have
chicken tenders here.
700
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,696
- Yes.
- Why not a drumstick?
701
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:50,031
The drumsticks take
longer to cook,
702
00:28:50,066 --> 00:28:54,736
so it was me just
playing it semi-safe.
703
00:28:54,770 --> 00:28:56,004
Hopefully you like it.
704
00:28:56,038 --> 00:28:57,739
Okay.
705
00:29:01,110 --> 00:29:02,143
Did I make you proud?
706
00:29:04,580 --> 00:29:06,133
Uh-oh.
707
00:29:11,175 --> 00:29:12,141
Hopefully you like it.
708
00:29:12,176 --> 00:29:14,099
Okay, let's give it a taste.
709
00:29:16,454 --> 00:29:18,229
Did I make you proud?
710
00:29:21,752 --> 00:29:22,852
Uh-oh.
711
00:29:22,886 --> 00:29:25,521
That is...
712
00:29:25,556 --> 00:29:26,689
delicious.
713
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:28,124
Yes! Okay.
714
00:29:28,158 --> 00:29:30,126
- Really delicious.
- Thank you.
715
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,829
And for me this dish is
absolutely comfort food
716
00:29:32,863 --> 00:29:35,665
'cause it is chicken and waffles
and it reminds me of home,
717
00:29:35,699 --> 00:29:37,934
but it also reminds me
of my favorite dish
718
00:29:37,968 --> 00:29:39,636
at an Indian restaurant.
719
00:29:39,670 --> 00:29:42,405
You get sweet and salty,
and you get spice,
720
00:29:42,439 --> 00:29:43,840
but you don't get spice
the way that you get it
721
00:29:43,874 --> 00:29:45,675
from hot sauce down South.
722
00:29:45,709 --> 00:29:48,678
You get spice the way that
Hetal would bring you spice,
723
00:29:48,712 --> 00:29:50,647
and it better be
in your cookbook
724
00:29:50,681 --> 00:29:52,815
if you take home
this competition.
725
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:54,017
- That is delicious.
- Yes. Thank you.
726
00:29:54,051 --> 00:29:55,151
Congratulations.
727
00:29:58,956 --> 00:30:01,724
Good job, Hetal!
728
00:30:02,860 --> 00:30:06,095
Next up, Claudia.
729
00:30:06,130 --> 00:30:08,264
Waffles are something that
I make with my daughter
730
00:30:08,299 --> 00:30:11,801
every weekend, and I make
this chicken all the time,
731
00:30:11,835 --> 00:30:14,203
so I'm really confident
at this point.
732
00:30:14,238 --> 00:30:16,139
I know that my flavors
are on point.
733
00:30:16,173 --> 00:30:18,708
Claudia,
describe the dish, please.
734
00:30:18,742 --> 00:30:21,577
I've made a cayenne
and buttermilk fried chicken
735
00:30:21,612 --> 00:30:23,713
with a lemon and thyme
sweet waffle
736
00:30:23,747 --> 00:30:26,583
with a citrus maple glaze sauce.
737
00:30:26,617 --> 00:30:27,584
Wow.
738
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,819
This looks...
739
00:30:29,853 --> 00:30:31,521
terrible.
740
00:30:31,555 --> 00:30:34,157
It looks like
it's just come out of a diner.
741
00:30:39,663 --> 00:30:43,533
The chicken, unfortunately,
is still pink.
742
00:30:48,272 --> 00:30:51,741
If you're going to use a big
thigh of chicken like that,
743
00:30:51,775 --> 00:30:53,042
you can put the chicken
in the oven
744
00:30:53,077 --> 00:30:55,178
the minute it comes
out of the fryer.
745
00:30:55,212 --> 00:30:57,380
That breading
is seasoned correctly,
746
00:30:57,414 --> 00:31:01,017
so you've got that bit right,
but waffles are embarrassing.
747
00:31:01,051 --> 00:31:03,119
Just touch that, okay?
748
00:31:03,153 --> 00:31:05,188
It's like
my granddad's mattress.
749
00:31:05,222 --> 00:31:07,891
Soft, spongy,
and just horrible.
750
00:31:07,925 --> 00:31:09,459
Here's the thing.
751
00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:11,027
And I think back
to some of the desserts
752
00:31:11,061 --> 00:31:13,796
and what you've done
with your spin, your twist.
753
00:31:13,831 --> 00:31:15,064
Have you got lazy?
754
00:31:15,099 --> 00:31:16,666
No, not at all, Chef.
755
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:17,834
This is you
at your best?
756
00:31:17,868 --> 00:31:19,902
It wasn't at my best,
but I think that
757
00:31:19,937 --> 00:31:22,605
if I had a little bit more time
to finish
758
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,806
and add the garnishes
and everything,
759
00:31:23,841 --> 00:31:25,541
I would have done better.
760
00:31:25,576 --> 00:31:28,511
How dare you ask for more time
when there's a guy
761
00:31:28,546 --> 00:31:31,848
standing behind you
that had half your time?
762
00:31:31,882 --> 00:31:35,885
That, for me, has just put you
to the back of the line.
763
00:31:38,889 --> 00:31:40,701
Dead Mexican walking,
ladies and gentlemen.
764
00:31:40,781 --> 00:31:42,248
I have no words.
765
00:31:42,282 --> 00:31:45,518
This is the first time that
I feel like I'm at the bottom,
766
00:31:45,552 --> 00:31:48,221
and I don't like it.
767
00:31:48,255 --> 00:31:51,090
Next up, Nick.
768
00:31:51,124 --> 00:31:53,159
So I did
a Southwest fried chicken
769
00:31:53,193 --> 00:31:55,361
with waffles infused
with a little bit of orange zest
770
00:31:55,395 --> 00:31:56,896
and rolled oats,
771
00:31:56,930 --> 00:32:01,534
horseradish maple syrup, and a
pink peppercorn compound butter.
772
00:32:01,568 --> 00:32:03,803
Southwest?
Maybe southwest Germany.
773
00:32:03,837 --> 00:32:06,472
Horseradish has nothing to do
with desert-style cuisine.
774
00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:08,808
Chicken, good flavor.
Love the bacon.
775
00:32:08,842 --> 00:32:10,209
It's just stepping back
and making sure
776
00:32:10,244 --> 00:32:12,345
that every single thing
on the dish has a reason.
777
00:32:12,379 --> 00:32:13,446
- Okay.
- Thanks.
778
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,249
Katrina.
779
00:32:16,283 --> 00:32:20,186
It's a miso fried chicken
with scallion waffles
780
00:32:20,220 --> 00:32:23,389
and peach hot sauce
and a compound butter
781
00:32:23,423 --> 00:32:25,558
with honey and chives.
782
00:32:25,592 --> 00:32:26,959
Why miso?
783
00:32:26,994 --> 00:32:31,797
I wanted to do
something different.
784
00:32:31,832 --> 00:32:33,332
Miso disappointed.
785
00:32:33,367 --> 00:32:35,334
The problem with the tenders,
they can go dry
786
00:32:35,369 --> 00:32:36,335
'cause there's no fat
in there.
787
00:32:36,370 --> 00:32:37,837
Okay.
788
00:32:37,871 --> 00:32:40,373
The waffles are good, but
it's just not you at your best.
789
00:32:40,407 --> 00:32:42,842
- I want more. Thank you.
- Thank you.
790
00:32:42,876 --> 00:32:45,812
Olivia.
791
00:32:45,846 --> 00:32:49,782
It's an orange and ginger waffle
with a honey soy glazed chicken
792
00:32:49,817 --> 00:32:52,485
topped with toasted sesame seeds
and cilantro.
793
00:32:56,223 --> 00:32:57,523
I actually think
the toasted sesame seeds
794
00:32:57,558 --> 00:32:59,692
are what saves the chicken,
795
00:32:59,726 --> 00:33:03,462
but the breast is dry even with
the skin on the meat itself.
796
00:33:03,497 --> 00:33:06,399
The waffle,
I think it's okay,
797
00:33:06,433 --> 00:33:10,203
but definitely I think you could
have done a lot better.
798
00:33:10,237 --> 00:33:12,138
Thank you.
799
00:33:14,441 --> 00:33:16,375
- Next up, Tommy.
- Oh.
800
00:33:16,410 --> 00:33:18,778
I'm really happy with this dish.
801
00:33:18,812 --> 00:33:22,181
My chicken wings,
my chicken drumsticks,
802
00:33:22,216 --> 00:33:24,851
they look like solid gold.
803
00:33:24,885 --> 00:33:27,253
Describe the dish, please.
804
00:33:27,287 --> 00:33:29,155
Duck fat fried chicken
805
00:33:29,189 --> 00:33:33,726
with a pecan quinoa corn waffle
806
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,396
and a tomato whisky marmalade.
807
00:33:37,431 --> 00:33:39,098
Why duck fat?
808
00:33:39,132 --> 00:33:43,436
My Aunt Lorraine
and my grandmother always kept
809
00:33:43,470 --> 00:33:47,006
a little coffee can of duck fat
on the back of the stove...
810
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,075
- Yeah.
- That was saved.
811
00:33:49,109 --> 00:33:50,309
Nothing went to waste.
812
00:33:50,344 --> 00:33:52,378
Chicken...
813
00:33:53,947 --> 00:33:56,115
Incredible.
814
00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:58,017
Waffle's another league.
815
00:33:58,051 --> 00:33:59,418
It's authentic.
It's delicious.
816
00:33:59,453 --> 00:34:02,722
You're frying in duck fat,
which is a chef's dream.
817
00:34:02,756 --> 00:34:04,690
I think this is
one of your best dishes
818
00:34:04,725 --> 00:34:08,161
that you've performed so far,
and you may look the part,
819
00:34:08,195 --> 00:34:09,862
but now you can really
cook the part.
820
00:34:09,897 --> 00:34:12,865
Oh, thank you.
821
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,334
Tommy, have you gone
all country on us now?
822
00:34:15,369 --> 00:34:18,971
I am country.
I was born in Little Rock.
823
00:34:22,376 --> 00:34:24,076
That is righteous stuff,
Tommy.
824
00:34:24,111 --> 00:34:25,144
Uh-huh.
825
00:34:25,179 --> 00:34:26,812
Fried chicken, nailed.
826
00:34:26,847 --> 00:34:29,649
One of the most flavorful
of the night.
827
00:34:33,220 --> 00:34:36,222
This marmalade jam, you need
to jar it up, sell it,
828
00:34:36,256 --> 00:34:37,290
'cause it's awesome.
829
00:34:37,324 --> 00:34:38,724
This is the deal right here,
830
00:34:38,759 --> 00:34:41,093
and this is what will get you
further in the competition.
831
00:34:41,128 --> 00:34:43,462
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
832
00:34:43,497 --> 00:34:44,797
Good job, Tommy.
833
00:34:45,799 --> 00:34:47,166
Good job, Tommy.
834
00:34:48,235 --> 00:34:50,269
Last up, Shelly, please.
Let's go.
835
00:34:50,304 --> 00:34:52,872
All right.
836
00:34:52,906 --> 00:34:55,208
I'm not 100% happy with my dish.
837
00:34:55,242 --> 00:34:57,310
I know my waffle's
a little blonde,
838
00:34:57,344 --> 00:35:00,012
and my plating isn't like, wow.
839
00:35:00,047 --> 00:35:03,316
I'm hoping and I'm praying
the judges like it.
840
00:35:03,350 --> 00:35:04,884
Please describe your dish.
841
00:35:04,918 --> 00:35:09,822
Classic chicken and waffles
with a bourbon maple syrup
842
00:35:09,857 --> 00:35:13,159
and a vanilla-scented waffle.
843
00:35:13,193 --> 00:35:17,830
Okay.
Let's try the chicken first.
844
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:19,365
You've cut the chicken.
845
00:35:19,399 --> 00:35:20,366
Just to make sure
it was done.
846
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,367
To make sure it was done?
847
00:35:21,401 --> 00:35:23,002
- Yes, Chef.
- So is it done?
848
00:35:23,036 --> 00:35:25,271
Yeah, I didn't want
to give raw chicken.
849
00:35:25,305 --> 00:35:29,308
Shelly, it's pink.
850
00:35:29,343 --> 00:35:32,178
Yeah.
851
00:35:32,212 --> 00:35:34,013
There was other bits of chicken
on your board.
852
00:35:34,047 --> 00:35:36,849
- Where are they?
- On the...
853
00:35:36,884 --> 00:35:39,452
- Are they cooked?
- Yes, Chef.
854
00:35:39,486 --> 00:35:42,755
So you've left
the cooked chicken on the bench
855
00:35:42,789 --> 00:35:45,324
and served me
the pink chicken.
856
00:35:50,795 --> 00:35:54,298
So you've left
the cooked chicken on the bench
857
00:35:54,332 --> 00:35:56,500
and served me
the pink chicken?
858
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:05,376
The chicken's undercooked,
it's bland,
859
00:36:05,410 --> 00:36:08,212
and it's a shame.
860
00:36:08,246 --> 00:36:10,714
A waffle that doesn't
really taste of anything
861
00:36:10,749 --> 00:36:13,417
and a fruit salad
or just chopped strawberries.
862
00:36:13,451 --> 00:36:15,085
At this stage
in the competition...
863
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,221
- Not sufficient.
- Not sufficient.
864
00:36:17,255 --> 00:36:20,057
- Did you give up?
- I didn't give up.
865
00:36:20,091 --> 00:36:21,225
I mean, I was praying today,
866
00:36:21,259 --> 00:36:22,493
and I was really focused
going in here
867
00:36:22,527 --> 00:36:25,429
because all of this
has been getting in my head,
868
00:36:25,463 --> 00:36:26,730
and it's just been
psyching me out,
869
00:36:26,765 --> 00:36:28,399
and I've been
second-guessing myself,
870
00:36:28,433 --> 00:36:31,068
but I know...
I know I can cook.
871
00:36:31,102 --> 00:36:33,570
I know what I can do,
872
00:36:33,605 --> 00:36:36,173
and I know I'm capable,
and I know I'm not a failure.
873
00:36:36,207 --> 00:36:39,176
Too much second-guessing,
Shelly.
874
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:40,244
More conviction.
875
00:36:40,278 --> 00:36:41,578
Yes, Chef.
876
00:36:41,613 --> 00:36:44,581
Thank you.
877
00:36:44,616 --> 00:36:47,651
I know I can do better,
and I know I deserve to be here,
878
00:36:47,686 --> 00:36:49,553
but that wasn't
Shelly on a plate.
879
00:36:49,587 --> 00:36:54,158
I'm hoping that the judges
can see beyond this dish.
880
00:36:56,027 --> 00:36:57,261
Tonight was a tall order,
881
00:36:57,295 --> 00:37:02,099
but there were
two incredible standout dishes.
882
00:37:02,133 --> 00:37:05,636
Congratulations,
Hetal and Tommy.
883
00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:08,005
- Yay, Tommy!
- Yay, Tommy.
884
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:10,307
Good job.
885
00:37:10,342 --> 00:37:13,811
Both of you will be captains
in our next big challenge.
886
00:37:13,845 --> 00:37:14,878
Okay.
887
00:37:14,913 --> 00:37:16,180
Good job.
888
00:37:16,214 --> 00:37:18,015
Thanks again.
889
00:37:18,049 --> 00:37:21,285
And now for the bad news.
890
00:37:21,319 --> 00:37:24,755
For the overall
two worst dishes,
891
00:37:24,789 --> 00:37:26,824
one of these home cooks
will be going home.
892
00:37:26,858 --> 00:37:28,792
The first home cook,
893
00:37:28,827 --> 00:37:31,795
there was a fruit component
that didn't work,
894
00:37:31,830 --> 00:37:36,800
and the chicken
was not cooked properly.
895
00:37:36,835 --> 00:37:39,970
Please step forward, Shelly.
896
00:37:43,241 --> 00:37:48,245
The second disastrous dish
was lackluster.
897
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,082
This contestant has never been
in the bottom.
898
00:37:52,117 --> 00:37:54,918
Please step forward,
899
00:37:54,953 --> 00:37:56,887
Claudia.
900
00:38:01,326 --> 00:38:04,595
Claudia, I strongly believe
901
00:38:04,629 --> 00:38:07,665
that you have
all the makings of going on
902
00:38:07,699 --> 00:38:10,634
and continuing to be
a very strong chef.
903
00:38:10,668 --> 00:38:13,971
I'm shocked as much as Christina
and Graham to see you down here.
904
00:38:14,005 --> 00:38:15,806
Shelly, you know,
at the beginning,
905
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,976
you came into this competition,
you fought for an apron,
906
00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:20,644
you lost that battle.
907
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,247
I saw something in you
that nobody else did.
908
00:38:23,281 --> 00:38:26,216
We brought you back.
I believed in you.
909
00:38:27,752 --> 00:38:31,922
And you know what, young lady,
I still believe in you.
910
00:38:31,957 --> 00:38:35,392
But I do believe you have gone
as far as you can
911
00:38:35,427 --> 00:38:37,428
in this competition.
912
00:38:37,462 --> 00:38:40,864
I'm sorry.
Your journey is ending tonight.
913
00:38:40,899 --> 00:38:44,201
Claudia, please say good-bye
to Shelly
914
00:38:44,235 --> 00:38:47,838
and head back to your station.
915
00:38:47,872 --> 00:38:50,341
Listen, do the damn thing
for the moms, okay?
916
00:38:50,375 --> 00:38:52,843
- Yep.
- Okay. All right, babe.
917
00:38:52,877 --> 00:38:54,211
Thank you, chefs.
918
00:38:57,115 --> 00:38:58,549
Young lady,
you are an inspiration.
919
00:38:58,583 --> 00:39:02,920
Yes, you had a tough journey
here, but you found happiness.
920
00:39:02,954 --> 00:39:05,389
Yes. It's a blessing.
921
00:39:05,423 --> 00:39:08,993
This entire experience
was bigger than anything.
922
00:39:09,027 --> 00:39:10,594
I woke up feeling brand-new.
923
00:39:10,629 --> 00:39:12,329
It's like a sense
of appreciation.
924
00:39:12,364 --> 00:39:14,565
It's just like,
if you don't take something
925
00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:16,834
from every single moment here,
you're a fool.
926
00:39:16,868 --> 00:39:18,035
I'm going to save my money,
927
00:39:18,069 --> 00:39:19,536
and I'm going to go
to culinary school,
928
00:39:19,571 --> 00:39:21,005
and I'm still
going to teach people
929
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:22,640
that don't know what to do
with food stamps
930
00:39:22,674 --> 00:39:25,642
that are single moms that
food is power, food is love.
931
00:39:25,677 --> 00:39:27,211
And I'm going to do right
by you guys,
932
00:39:27,245 --> 00:39:29,246
and you guys are going to see
Shelly Flash again and be like,
933
00:39:29,281 --> 00:39:31,015
"I remember her."
934
00:39:31,049 --> 00:39:34,718
I'm happy knowing
what you're going to achieve
935
00:39:34,753 --> 00:39:36,787
- after this competition.
- Yeah.
936
00:39:36,821 --> 00:39:38,956
You got a big heart,
so hats off.
937
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:40,024
Thank you.
938
00:39:40,058 --> 00:39:41,025
Come and say good-bye,
my darling.
939
00:39:41,059 --> 00:39:42,793
All right.
940
00:39:42,827 --> 00:39:43,794
Good luck.
941
00:39:45,964 --> 00:39:48,032
- Ay-yi-yi.
- Thank you.
942
00:39:48,066 --> 00:39:49,299
Ah.
943
00:39:49,334 --> 00:39:52,002
- We're gonna miss you.
- Chef Christina.
944
00:39:52,037 --> 00:39:54,638
Bye, y'all. Bye.
945
00:39:58,510 --> 00:40:00,611
This defeat, it stings,
946
00:40:00,645 --> 00:40:02,346
but I like looking at the glass
half full.
947
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:04,081
Bye, y'all.
948
00:40:04,115 --> 00:40:08,018
How many people can say they
made top nine on MasterChef?
949
00:40:08,053 --> 00:40:10,054
I gotta say,
really delicious.
950
00:40:10,088 --> 00:40:11,155
Thank you, Chef.
951
00:40:11,189 --> 00:40:12,723
I know my daughter's
proud of me.
952
00:40:12,757 --> 00:40:15,292
You got this, Mommy, okay?
Stay calm.
953
00:40:15,327 --> 00:40:16,994
She's my biggest cheerleader,
954
00:40:17,028 --> 00:40:18,596
so I work hard
to lead by example.
955
00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:19,663
Red Team.
956
00:40:21,766 --> 00:40:25,402
Congratulations, Shelly.
957
00:40:25,437 --> 00:40:28,806
Food is not for substance.
Food is my heart.
958
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,307
One of your best performances,
but for me,
959
00:40:30,342 --> 00:40:32,142
you're growing in confidence,
960
00:40:32,177 --> 00:40:34,078
which is what MasterChef
is all about.
961
00:40:34,112 --> 00:40:35,479
Don't stop.
962
00:40:35,513 --> 00:40:37,881
I thank Chef Ramsay
for seeing something
963
00:40:37,916 --> 00:40:40,250
that I had yet to see in myself
964
00:40:40,285 --> 00:40:42,286
and to igniting
something in me...
965
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,454
Welcome back.
966
00:40:43,488 --> 00:40:45,689
That will not burn out,
that will not die out,
967
00:40:45,724 --> 00:40:49,526
and that will be brilliant.
968
00:40:49,561 --> 00:40:52,096
Good night, darling.
969
00:40:55,533 --> 00:40:56,500
Next week...
970
00:40:58,069 --> 00:41:00,638
It's the first ever MasterChef
vegetarian team challenge.
971
00:41:00,672 --> 00:41:02,373
Cook these down.
Blend the [bleep] out of them.
972
00:41:02,407 --> 00:41:03,574
Who will claim victory?
973
00:41:03,608 --> 00:41:04,942
That's way too much water.
974
00:41:04,976 --> 00:41:06,777
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- This is a mess.
975
00:41:06,811 --> 00:41:09,313
Go faster. Two at a time.
I see one at a time.
976
00:41:09,347 --> 00:41:10,314
Shut up.
977
00:41:10,348 --> 00:41:11,982
Thank God I'm not a vegetarian.
978
00:41:12,017 --> 00:41:14,752
And in the most gruesome
pressure test ever...
979
00:41:14,786 --> 00:41:16,320
I suggest you do not
turn around.
980
00:41:16,354 --> 00:41:19,523
Whose head is
on the chopping block?
981
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,361
Intimidated?
982
00:41:27,913 --> 00:41:30,372

983
00:41:32,237 --> 00:41:33,203
Previously on Home Free...
984
00:41:33,238 --> 00:41:34,438
Are you ready?
985
00:41:34,472 --> 00:41:36,240
Eight remaining couples
competed...
986
00:41:36,274 --> 00:41:38,342
30 more minutes.
Go, go, go.
987
00:41:38,376 --> 00:41:40,544
To win a brand-new dream home.
988
00:41:40,578 --> 00:41:41,745
Oh, my God.
989
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:42,813
Come on, go.
990
00:41:42,847 --> 00:41:43,814
At the Drill Down Challenge...
991
00:41:43,848 --> 00:41:45,149
Ten's a C clamp, right?
992
00:41:45,183 --> 00:41:46,483
Couples fought to control
the game.
993
00:41:46,518 --> 00:41:47,618
- We're done!
- Done!
994
00:41:47,652 --> 00:41:50,354
- Wrong. Brian and Kathy won...
- Whoo-hoo!
995
00:41:50,388 --> 00:41:52,223
And chose to reunite
the Gold Team.
996
00:41:52,257 --> 00:41:54,225
Gold Team! Make it right!
997
00:41:54,259 --> 00:41:57,661
A defeated Green Team
was desperate for a win.
998
00:41:57,696 --> 00:41:58,762
So what time do you guys think
you'll be here till tonight?
999
00:41:58,797 --> 00:42:00,130
Till the job's done.
1000
00:42:00,165 --> 00:42:01,865
But a lack of team chemistry...
1001
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:03,300
The final say-so
does fall on Heather.
1002
00:42:03,335 --> 00:42:04,501
Put them at odds.
1003
00:42:04,536 --> 00:42:05,869
What's the length
on the sofa?
1004
00:42:05,904 --> 00:42:07,738
Tell him to go away.
1005
00:42:07,772 --> 00:42:10,107
The Gold Team's confidence
continued to soar.
1006
00:42:10,141 --> 00:42:11,174
You know how you know
who's on top?
