Previously on MasterChef Global Gauntlet. Lift!

Eggs Benedict mystery box challenge.

I choose.

Yes, chef. You get to choose one territory that must use a tiny whisk.

Europe. Let's go, bring it out.

Definitely a workout.

I don't know if I can do it.

Camilo's eggs, they're broken. I don't think I can get more done in time.

I didn't get sauce on the plate. So the dish is incomplete.

Haiti. Restaurant quality, top notch. Thank you, Jeff. Congratulations, Haiti.

Way to do it. Rita, big thank you to Hayley. You were second from leaving the

competition. Camilla, I'm scared to eat that thing.

Sadly, your journey's ending tonight.

Tonight on MasterChef Global Gauntlet.

Yeah, we're playing soccer today.

With the World Cup approaching, it's time for our first team challenge.

Right, let's go.

And you're going to cook for 100 young soccer players. Katie, from winning last

week's challenge, you get to pick the teams.

But if the homecooks can't play as a team.

It's not working.

We need to start over. It's actually coming out raw. What in the are we

Their shot at victory will go up in flames. Fire. No, no, no, no, no, no,

no. Put it off. They're both off. We are an absolute mess.

Maurizio Pochettino, whoa.

We got a Pochettino!

Coach, put me in goal.

I do need some gloves.

Okay. Yeah.

Let's hold it.

Right, let's go.

Listen,

guys, because it's Gordon there in the goal, don't be scared.

Right, let's go.

Okay, kids, big fight.

Well done.

Guys, get yourselves down here. Let's go.

Soccer is big for me and my family, especially in Africa, especially in

That's the number one sport there, and so that's what I grew up playing.

Let's go, guys.

I think it's going to be a team challenge today, and I feel really good

Team Africa. I think we have some strong players, and let's go.

Good morning.

All of you, join me in giving a big hand to the incredible coach of Team USA,

Mauricio Pochettino.

Coach, first of all, congratulations on now training the men's national team for

the World Cup.

Wow. I know you've got a busy schedule.

Thanks so much for being here and giving up your time to coach these youngsters.

Thank you. For me, it's an honor to be with you all here. You understand the

importance of great teamwork.

If there's one piece of advice you want to give these contestants today, what

would it be?

Communication is key.

And of course, standards.

Standards are so important.

Focus on what you need to do to make better your team.

Okay,

for today's challenge, you'll be split into two teams.

And you're going to cook lunch for 100 amazing young soccer players from the U

.S. Soccer Forward Foundation.

And, of course, you'll be cooking for Coach Mauricio. That's 101 total dishes

per team.

All right, now, Coach, after their training, these kids are going to need a

nutritious lunch.

What kind of food do you think these cooks should be making today?

The protein is the fuel to recharge, but all the flavors that you can add that

the kids really love.

Mac and cheese, chicken sandwich, nice burger.

Yeah. Coach, I know you've got a lot more training to do today, so we look

forward to seeing you for lunch.

Pleasure. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Let's go, Coach!

Okay, now we need teams.

Haiti, you have an advantage from winning last week's challenge.

You get to pick the teams. It's a big responsibility.

Yeah. All right, Haiti. You're part of Team Africa, and you guys have four

left. You could join up with Asia Pacific or Europe and keep the teams

nine on nine. Or you could join up with the Americas, which would give you a

team of eight versus a team of ten.

But before you make your decision, the winning team...

will be safe from elimination tonight.

But listen up.

If you are on the losing team, one of you will be going home.

OK? So, Hayley, take a moment to discuss with your territory.

A lot's going on in my mind of who I want to pick and who I don't want to

Even though Asia Pacific has five players on their team, I just want a

that's going to be a little bit more organized.

I don't think I want to go with Europe for this challenge because Europe has a

lot of big egos, big personalities, so I just don't feel it's going to work in a

team environment.

The Americas, they've got some strong cooks on their team, but it might be a

of a risk going into this competition with two less people.

Heidi,

give us an insight to the territory you're teaming up with.

I feel that you need to have some people that are going to be able to listen, so

that's a big part of the decision.

And the territory that you're teaming up with? Is America's.

Let's go!

Look at these two. Right, you two love to separate for two seconds.

So we have Africa and America as one team versus Europe and Asia Pacific.

All of you put your team -colored aprons on. Let's go. Here you are.

And here you are. Thank you.

Having 10 people could definitely give us an advantage. We have a lot of people

to feed.

And so I'm confident that Asia Pacific and Europe can win this challenge.

Now, it wouldn't be a team challenge without a team captain.

And the winning team captain tonight will earn the incredible immunity pin.

And this comes with a huge advantage.

across the next challenge.

All right, guys.

Anybody want it?

Tad will be a strong leader.

Yeah. I agree. I think Dave would be a big lead. Yeah, absolutely. How do you

feel about it?

I can do it. I think we're going to win this.

That was easy.

Right, red team, you've nominated who as the captain?

Dave. Dave. Dave.

Wow, okay.

I used to be a VP of marketing in the music industry, and my teams would run

marketing for large -scale concerts, for festivals. So working with a team of

eight people, this is going to be a piece of cake.

Right. Captain of the blue team is... I'm feeling pretty excited. I

do a ton of tailgating, and I often cook for large crowds of people. So I'm

ready for this challenge.

All right. While Coach and the kids finish up their training, you'll be

their lunch ready.

And the three of us want to see a sample plate of one protein and two sides in

about 30 minutes. Yes.

Right, red team, blue team, you guys ready?

Yes. The very best of luck.

Your time starts now. Off you go. Let's go.

Let's go, red.

All right.

Time for me to get out of this kit. What, we don't get a couple of shots on

goal? No chance.

Let's go.

Let's go, blue team.

Gather round. Gather round. Okay, guys, I think we should start with the

protein. What do we think? What do we think about fish?

I don't like fish.

No, fish is hard for kids? Okay. What about chicken? Chicken.

I like chicken. I think we should do a buttermilk chicken tender. Do you think

chicken tenders or a chicken sandwich? Chicken sandwich.

Okay.

Listen, listen.

Burgers, smash burgers will cook fast.

Yes. What do we do inside?

We can either do french fries or chips. Chips. What else do you like? I mean,

you can do like a creamy orzo mac and cheese type thing. I'm happy with that.

Anybody else? How about vegetables? We make some sort of very delicious sauce.

We don't need veggies.

No. No vegetables.

Remember, we have a two -person team advantage here. So let's do the veggies.

can do extra.

Okay, what are we doing for the sides? Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese.

What about for our second side? I think we do fruit skewer. I like a fruit

skewer, like green apple.

What if we do like a caramel dip? We could do a caramel for the apple. How

we doing the chicken? We're frying it. I think you got to go on the grill. On

the grill. How would we do it? What are we going to do on the grill? Just get in

a big bowl.

Maybe Peter can do it for us. You know, onion powder, a little bit of paprika,

salt and pepper. Keep it simple. All right, you guys, you ready?

Let's go.

How many minutes we got before testing?

30 minutes. Let's get this kitchen running. Let's go, red team. Let's go,

go, let's go.

Hey, guys, listen up for a second. We're going to win this one by feeding

everybody in a timely fashion.

Don't overcomplicate what we're doing here, right?

Heard.

That's good. So do you think you can make tiny mini cookies?

Yeah, me and Julia can do it. Julia can help me with this.

We are discussing about making, like, the tiny cookies, like this size. Yeah.

Yeah, I like that.

Julia, can we start on the cookie batter? Can you do this yourself?

Do you want me to do cookies?

Let's do it together. All right, let's do it.

Maria, you're going to be on caramel. How are you doing it? Do you just brown

the sugar?

I'll brown the sugar, then I'm going to add hot water. Yeah. Should I add cream?

Yes. I can show you a recipe, too, that we can try.

Let's make two. Let's make two. Chicken team, how we doing?

I'm just going to start individually, and then you can season.

Dave, do you want us to cook all the mac?

Because we have two pots right now. Two pots? OK.

Maria, you can't just have this sugar like this. Why do we have two sugars

happening? We were testing.

We were testing.

I don't know what this is. I don't know what that is. Water? Let's get it off.

Dave, it's not working. It's not working. It's not working.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

I think Dave's doing the best he can. I hear so many questions going around with

the caramel and the mac and cheese, so I'm trying to do my best so he doesn't

have to check my station.

I don't like what's going on over there, but that's not my place.

Oh, my gosh.

There's so much mayhem going on, but we don't have the ten hands, and I think

it's a bad omen for what could happen later.

It would be nice if we had an extra hand. Not my favorite choice of the day.

Now, y 'all heard me. Well, whatever.

We'll talk about it after we're done.

All right.

So we're cooking for 100 young soccer players and the head coach of Team USA.

Let's talk about the team, shall we?

Red team, Haley choosing the Americas to join the African territory.

So the red team has eight cooks and the blue team has ten cooks. I think that

may be a bit of a mistake there for the red team. Not enough manpower to get it

done? Exactly.

Dave, how many minutes was this then?

How many? Yeah, I'm trying to find my timer. It's not me with Dave. Put him to

the force as a captain. But has he got a strong enough voice to lead all that

talent? Because the captains can't sit there in silence. They're going to have

to lead with authority, right?

Yep. What do you need, mayo?

Mayo. I got it for you.

Blue team, Asia Pacific and Europe. A lot of young talent in that blue team.

And ten of them. And they nominated Ted as the captain.

That's not six ounces.

That is six ounces.

That's way too big. I think that Ted's going to be a fantastic captain. You

know, he's got a level head, maturity, he's got a family, he has kids.

Just think about that. It's the kids that are voting.

Let's go, guys. Remember, strong on flavor, simple on execution.

Heard. Red team, blue team, 10 minutes gone, 20 minutes remaining.

Let's go. Yes, chef.

Dave, tell me about the dish. So we are making a grilled chicken, bacon and

ranch sandwich. We're doing some sliced apples with a homemade caramel drizzle

and mac and cheese.

So I like the idea of the chicken. I don't know whether we should be going

the fried route for dredging and frying it and then into the oven.

Turn around and tell me who's doing what in the kitchen.

Katie, Brittany, and Peter are currently working on the chicken.

Marie is back there working on apples and caramel. And then Takaya and Rita

making the mac and cheese.

Jake is crisping up some bacon for us. And he's also a runner between the

stations to help us out. OK. I want to see your dish in 15 minutes, yeah? Yes.

Thank you, Chef. Hey, Peter. Yep. Can we do a test piece to see how? Of deep

frying? Of deep fry to see how it comes out. Whatever you want, Captain.

Hayden, we are testing a fried piece.

Chef recommended that we do try to fry.

Let's see how it turns out. I'm not that confident working with deep fryers, but

I have two kids at home. I've always cooked with them and their friends.

Peter, how's the frying working? Does it work?

We're going to check it out in a second. We're just going to test them.

Okay. The only thing my kids told me when I came here was, Mommy, whatever

do, do not serve raw chicken.

So I'm going to do the best I can.

Katie, what can I do for you? Nothing, I'm good.

Okay. I'm just concerned about the chicken situation.

Team captain, Ted, what's the plan? We are doing a smash burger with a special

sauce. We're doing chips, some little veggies for the kids, and then we're

a orzo mac and cheese, and then it's a lemon cote. Oh, my goodness. Yes. So

you're doing more than what is needed. Yes. We have a two -person advantage

that's going to help us with all the prep and all the serving.

And now who's doing what on the team?

Veggies is Agatha.

Burgers is Jamie, Daniel, and Basha.

Boo is prepping all the potatoes right now along with Aishu. Then the mac and

cheese, Champa, and Nico. And then Julia is dealing the cookies.

More people doesn't definitely mean better dishes. So it really depends on

captain managing the resources, giving people specific tasks.

And then you know what? The most important thing, Ted, if things are not

out, adjust.

Okay. All right. Good luck.

Thanks, Jeff. Thanks, Joe.

How many burgers down are we, Jamie?

10. 10. We can go faster. We were adjusting the fitness.

There's only 10 press?

Yeah.

OK. So Ted and the blue team. Yeah. They're going pretty classic. They're

to make a smash burger. Wow. And then they have four sides.

Chip, orzo mac and cheese, fruit a take, and a cookie.

Why the extra sides? What's going on there? I honestly, I just think they

too many people and too many ideas.

Where's the edit? Where's the captain's voice?

Hey, you guys.

Can you just do a small one just for the test? Let's see how it comes out. Yeah,

I got it. Red team, however, the opposite.

Dave, the captain, calm, collective. And they were toying with the idea with a

fried chicken or grilled chicken sandwich. They're doing mac and cheese

side. They've got it right.

But personally, I'd be frying the chicken. We know it.

But either way, batch cooking chicken is risky.

Can you imagine serving?

Undercooked chicken to young kids, that's dangerous. Are these getting

Yeah, they're good.

OK. How's the caramel? Is it browning? I think it's getting there.

Maria, I'm concerned about that caramel. They think we need to start over.

Blue team, five minutes.

Ted. Five minutes.

Red team, five minutes. Let's go.

Yes, chef. How did the fried chicken come out? Fine. It's good.

OK. How's that burger coming? Do you have cheese up here? Yes, I have cheese

Do we have caramel sauce for the judges?

No.

Captain, please.

Dave. Hello, hello, hello, chefs. How are you?

Present the dish, please. Yes. Here we have for you a fried chicken, bacon, and

ranch sandwich, mac and cheese, and some apple slices. We are currently nipping

the caramel. It did not come out the way we had intended. Chicken looks nice and

crispy.

Does it need the bacon?

I think it's a lot of bacon. Okay. You don't have anything pungent, anything

acidic. The lack of seasoning really brought the dish down. Okay.

This has the making of a winning dish. Yes. But it's very bland.

It's flat right now. Okay. They're not caring. It needs some love in there. Get

the team focused on elevating this incredible fried chicken sandwich.

Thank you so much, chefs.

Okay, guys. We need a meeting. Team meeting.

We're ditching the bacon altogether.

Will do.

Caramel, obviously non -existent, but I know we're working on that. Mac and

cheese, they want a little bit of punch of flavor. They said overall the notes,

making of a great dish, but it's flat.

Got it? Yep, yep.

How we doing with the orzo?

It's hard. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard.

Ted, we need to do another substitute of a side. The orzo's not working.

Okay. I am extremely worried. The side dishes are getting out of control.

We're thinking about switching to fried pickles. Things are changing every

minute. Scratch the veggie. Do the cookie. Do the cookie.

Right here, right here, behind you. I knew to keep it simple. Don't overdo it.

And it got away from me as the captain.

I didn't listen to myself.

Yep. I didn't listen to myself. We need to keep it simple. I have no idea what

we're going to put on the plate. I'm feeling like I've lost all control.

Shall we? Blue team? Hello?

Blue team! Ted!

Let's go!

Blue team!

Let's go!

Yep, coming for you.

Ted!

Quick!

Describe the dish, please. So we're doing a smash burger with cheddar and a

special sauce. We're doing the one side of seasoned chips and then the second

side being a lemon cookie.

Where's the order?

We couldn't get it.

And the crudités?

The crudités we pulled out.

We thought it was too much then. One thing clear. The brief is what?

The protein and two sides.

And you were doing four sides.

It was too much. Way too much.

Well, let's taste it, shall we?

Well done. Well, well. And who cooked this? Daniel cooked that. Is that what

were going for, well done? No, we wanted to go medium.

It seems more like a meatloaf burger than a burger. And when you overwork the

meat like that, it gets that pate -like texture. Yeah. But the seasoning on the

chips is good.

And that is an insult at the cookie.

There's no lemon I taste in there. The cookie was a very last -minute shift. We

may switch back to the orzo. It's not a bad idea, cookie.

It needs to be right. It's got to be good, though. And look at me, be

Yeah, yeah.

Two sides, one burger, sauce, yes? All right, good luck. Go. Okay, thanks. Blue

team, okay, listen up, okay? The burger was too overworked. It was like a

meatloaf. Make sure you get the sear. Let's not play around with it when it

on there. And he said that the cookie wasn't elevated enough. I say let's go

back to the orzo. If we can't get the orzo, we go with the veggie cup. Okay.

Ted, what was it about the cookie that they didn't like? He didn't like the

flavor. He didn't like the flavor. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we're going to scrap the

cookie. Okay.

Oh.

Damn, okay, like the hate of the flavor.

But I want to do whatever is best for the team. I want to be able to provide

help anywhere I can.

So going to the orzo, no cookies.

God, I just got to clean up.

Please, God, help me.

How's the caramel going?

Good? Good.

How's the other caramel?

It's good. Good?

Oh, I got to get caramel in cups.

Hey, Dave, don't let, if Brittany's doing that, don't let me get too far

I'm okay where I'm at. Yeah, what do you, do you need help? Do you need help?

I'm okay. Make sure everybody's good, but just don't forget about me.

Ted, what have we dropped now? Because I thought Orzo is back. We dropped the,

uh, where we at?

I don't know right now, Chef. You don't know right now?

Oh, my God.

And you are the captain?

Yeah. So if you don't know, how does the team know? What I'm concerned about,

Ted, is that they shouldn't be doing stuff. No, I'm sorry, we are acting the

cookies. You're acting the cookies now?

Yes, yes.

Yeah. Oh, my goodness me.

If I was the captain, I would have put my foot down quite early, and I would

have said, hey, this challenge only calls for two shots.

Champa, Champa, Champa, come here. So I'm making this orzo thinking, okay,

do the orzo.

It's going to be good.

It's so hard.

Yeah,

but it's almost done, though.

I just want the kids to have good food, and I want us to win.

Chef, Chef, can you try? Now you come to me. What do you need?

You don't know how to cook oil? No, I do.

I do. I just want to see if it was OK, but. You want to see it? Hey, Captain,

Nico wants to know if he's also cooked.

I mean, say.

Sorry, Chef. OK, I'll stop.

You know how to cook oil, though. Is it cooked?

No. No.

I mean, seriously.

Next, if you come into me, I'll have to change the diaper. Come on, young man.

Here,

use the spatula.

Grape it out. Here, you guys, for mac and cheese.

It's here.

We're going to need to start. Where are the apples?

In the fridge.

How did the fried chicken come out? Fine.

Red team, we're serving five at a time. Yes, chef. That's it. Chicken ready or

not? Yes, chef.

It's America.

Cool. Yeah.

It's pink.

It's 175.

Is it pink? You can use the thermometer till the cows come home. You do have to

test them. Okay. So put in the oven, guys.

I'll be damned if I'm serving raw chicken, pink chicken to kids, okay?

All right, guys, we got this. Come on. Let's go. We got it. Stay focused, red

team. Stay focused, red team.

Okay. Very good.

Yes. Last one.

It's okay. It's okay.

Blue team, in five minutes, we're going to have 101 kids coming in. Five

minutes, yes, chef.

Ted, I need you to try the orzo now.

Okay. What do you think? It's good flavor. Good flavor?

Yeah. Blue team, here's what we're doing.

Just listen up, all right?

We're doing the orzo in the veggie cup.

That's it? No chips?

All right. And the chips.

Oh, okay. Ted.

Yes, chef. Who's expediting here?

Foo.

What's that now? This is what we switch to. Three sides.

Oh, my goodness.

Judge, you got two seconds, please?

Yes. Hey, blue team, all of you, come here.

What was the brief?

Two sides.

Two sides. How many's in there?

Three. I don't understand. We don't understand what you're doing.

Cooking was a good idea. We gave you feedback.

We're minutes from opening, and we still have no idea what the hell we're doing.

There's ten of you in here. Come on, guys.

Do you want to win this? Yes. Then get organized.

Come on.

Please listen, blue team.

Okay. We're going to get rid of the orzo. Okay.

We're going to stick with two sides. The chips were a big hit.

Can you get cookies in five minutes?

In five minutes. Go. Go. Go. Get the cookies. I'm going to go help her.

What? What happened to the cookie tray? Here. Here. Here.

Here, we're going to do the same thing. Okay. We're going to do the same thing.

Go, go, go. I can't even feel frustrated or confused because I'm trying to crank

out these cookies as fast as humanly possible.

Should we add like a little bit of lemon zest on top of them? We're going to add

a little bit of lemon zest on top of them?

We're going to add it after, right? Or after.

Get both. Get both.

Get both?

Yeah. Kids love sweets. If we give them something sweet, easy money, it's in the

bag, we're going to go home winners.

How long are we putting the cookies for?

They're going to cook fast. Somebody set a timer for six minutes.

I'm really worried about the blue team, guys. I don't know. I think there's all

this switching plan, not a clear vision. I'm not sure what kind of leadership

Ted is offering. The cookie's on.

The orzo's off. The cookie's off. The orzo's back on. I swear to God. Guys,

going to start plating. Heard. So at this stage, the red team has an

with less cooked than the blue team, right? I would say so. And less dishes.

Yeah. They just have to make sure that chicken is cooked properly.

You guys, we need five mac and cheese as soon as possible.

30 seconds, you guys. We need plates.

30 seconds. Out of my way. Let's go, team.

Basha, where are the Dun Buns? Right underneath.

Julia, shop, I need those cookies.

Heard, heard, Ted.

Let's do the burger in the middle, and the cookie will be here. Cookie where

they're heard. Okay, okay. I need burgers.

Yeah, the burgers are here, Ted. Red team, blue team, the kids are finishing

next door. Let's go.

Very good, very good. We can take five.

Red team, blue team, practice is over.

The kids are coming for lunch.

Let's go.

Hello. High five. Yes. You hungry?

Let's go. You got kids.

So you're going to pick one from the red team. Then you're going to go next door

and pick up one from the blue team, yeah?

Hi, guys.

Hi, guys.

Hey, guys. How's it going?

Next door, my darling, from the blue. Let's go.

How y 'all doing? Come on. Hey, guys.

There you go.

Did you guys have a good time with soccer today?

Yeah. There you go.

There you go. You're welcome. You're very welcome. You're welcome.

Let's go.

Five more. Red team, let's go.

Right here, Steph. Right there. Kick that piece for me, please.

Yeah, that's got to go longer.

It's still pink.

I don't... You're going to kill these kids.

I feel terrible. I just can't actually believe that the chicken's raw.

It's all on my shoulders. I'm responsible for it. Okay, I want more

It's been checked in car, right? That's been checked. Thank you very much,

Katie.

It's still pink.

It's still pink.

Hey!

Put your hands over your ears.

Somebody change it up before we kill somebody!

I feel like I'm just unravelling, like the wheels are falling off and then I

just see the train about to crash, you know, and it's like, what is happening?

But I can't seem to get a grip to fix it.

Straight to the blue, come back for the chicken.

Maybe not come back for the chicken.

Maybe come back for salmonella. Even though I have the immunity pin and I

safety, it doesn't make it any better. I still feel responsible. I mean, the

last thing I want is for one of my teammates or one of the Americas to get

home because I served raw chicken.

Check these, please, chef. We are checking everything, yeah? Yes, chef.

Yes, please.

It's still pink!

It's still pink, guys.

Longer. Don't rush it. Right.

Stop.

Time out.

I have no idea why we're doing this ourselves.

I swear to God, it's actually coming out rawer.

What are we doing?

What in the... Are we doing?

Come on!

Wrecking time out!

I swear to God, it's actually coming out rawer.

There's no system here. Yes, chef. Fry it. Seven minutes. Out. Onto a tray in

the oven.

What are we doing? You two temp. Us three do chicken.

Hi, guys. Hey.

Hi.

Here you go.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

You excited to eat your burger? How long for the chicken, please? How long on

chicken? Red team. Five minutes. We are so behind on chicken.

I'm so sorry. The chicken's not ready. I'm so sorry. If we're not serving kids,

they're not able to vote on our dish.

At this point, we're basically handing votes to the blue team. I want you to

that burger while it's warm. We very well may lose this challenge.

Come on, guys. Before you give it to him, let's double check it. Please.

Guys,

red team, blue team, here comes coach.

Blue team, five more with the coach. That's six.

Six on the fly now. Let's go.

We need six total.

Six total, please. Basha, one more bun, please.

I need an extra one.

Boss, how are you?

We're good.

Blue team are doing a good job. Red team are a little bit discombobulated. Not

even communicating there either.

Off you go. Go next door. Pick up your chicken. Let's go. We're in a really

groove. We're getting burgers pumped out.

We've got our two sides going.

That's called a system, Ted.

Yes, chef. Turn and burn.

It's given me a good feeling, a little bit of redemption for my team.

Coach, enjoy, please. There you go. Thank you so much. Thank you very much

indeed.

Nico, after that, you clean the grill before you add on there again, yeah?

Yes, Chef.

All the fat is running down the meat. Let's go.

Breadcrumbs. I got VIP coming right now. I got you. I got you. We got service.

Here, Jake. Got you. Thank you. I'll drop one of these right here for you.

Here you go. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Hope you have a great day, sir.

Thank you.

Mmm.

This is good.

Oh, this is good.

Hi, guys. I'm Joe. I'm one of the judges for MasterChef.

Hello. Now, you guys got to be judges today, too, because you have to tell me

what you like better, the cheeseburger from the blue team or the fried chicken

sandwich from the red team. Why don't we start with you, young lady? Do you have

a preference?

Yeah, I like the blue team more. The blue team more. Why? Yeah, because the

tastes, like, more seasoned and more, like, juicy and stuff. Excellent. And,

like, cookie is, like, very soft.

I also enjoyed the blue better, the burger.

It's just, like, really good.

Raise your hand if you liked the cheeseburger from the blue team more.

Everyone. Full house for the blue team.

Five, please.

Kids are here.

Let's go, Jake. They're ready.

Yes, chef.

How are you guys doing today? I got one right here for you.

I got a chicken sandwich right here for you, too. Thank you, and then you can go

that way over there. Thank you. With Chef Gordon. Pass over the five burgers,

please. Let's go.

Who heard that cut?

Oh, God.

Guys, go away over there, please. Hey, blue team. It's raw. It's raw. Yes, yes,

chef. Seven -year -old, don't eat beef tartare.

It's a burger, and it's raw.

Not medium rare, ice cold in the middle. Sorry, guys, the burgers are not ready.

Go sit down, eat your chicken.

Now, look at me. We've found our momentum.

Now we're just cooking without any feel, any understanding, any drive, any

passion. He's just sending stuff.

I don't get it.

Do you want to lose?

Hey, what's up, guys? This is like the guys table.

All guys.

Manly table.

But what's the problem?

Why not?

He threw it on the floor?

He was angry?

You like when Gordon throws...

Food on the floor? Yeah. Super cool. Super cool?

I don't like it. You don't like it? Waste of food. Waste of food?

It's true.

Hot behind!

Hot, hot!

All right, let's get you some chicken.

What really gets that chicken back in operation is people starting to work in

lockstep. Need 10 chicken, please.

They're using less chicken in the fryer, so it's not burning on the outside too

quick for the inside to cook. 200.

Takaya, these are good.

And people are finally starting to work as a proper unit.

Finish strong, Red! Let's go!

Let's go, let's go, we got it.

How long for the next five burgers?

A minute and 30 seconds. Thank you.

Why is it so hot? Turn it lower.

Daniel, Nico, don't press the burger too hard. The fat's running through, it's

causing fire.

Yes, chef.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm on cookie duty right now, and my jaw

drops. The grill is on fire.

My eyes are so blue.

Your eyes are so blurry. There's a lot of smoke. Lower heat, huh? Lower the

heat, yeah. Lower the heat.

Right. Nico.

Chef. Watch the grill. It's burning now. Carbon monoxide.

Switch sides.

Okay. Clean the grill.

Yes, chef. And don't singe your hair.

It's Nico and Daniel. Like, I'm not surprised. A lot of these younger guys

like, this ego, and they think that they can take control.

Hey, watch out. Move out of the way.

I'm watching these two knuckleheads.

Setting the place on fire. Turn it off. No, it's off. They're both off. Guys, do

you need help in anything?

A lot of us are free right now.

Get your head out of your ass and open your eyes. The chances of the blue team

winning right now is so beyond low.

No. I already know we lost.

We're on fire, you idiot.

Oh, my God. We are on fire. Hey, hey, hey.

But not in the best way. Watch out, guys. Watch out. Careful, careful,

careful.

Watch out.

Nico, you can see how hot the grill was getting, right? Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Well, you know, that's stupid.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

Watch out. Oh, my God.

Hey, wait, hey, hey. We need some help over here now.

Watch out, guys. Stand out of the way. Heard.

Fire. Fire.

Thank you, sir.

I can't believe the grill was up in flames.

We are an app.

Salute, Matt.

Right, Tess, we may be down, but we're not out. Can we still use that one,

Not for now, until they clear it. I can refire this one. Nothing on that one.

Yes, Chef. Nico, Daniel, we can go to this grill. Let's bring it all back.

I've tailgated for so many years.

I've made tons of burgers.

This has never happened to me.

Burger's on now. We just have to keep pushing forward and try to finish

everything on time.

Five? Yeah. One minute later, the second five. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Your chicken's good. I like mac and cheese.

This burger is so juicy.

So many seeds.

So you got the chicken sandwich from the red team and the cheeseburger from the

blue team. What do you think? I'm going for the red team. The red team chicken.

It's nice and crispy on the outside.

It's nicely cooked.

Coach, what do you think? My opinion is the blue team. Why?

The burger, very juicy. I like the sauce.

If you enjoyed the red team chicken more, raise your hand.

Four for the chicken and blue team burger. Raise your hand. Two for the

All right, coach. Enjoy the rest of your meal.

Guys, buns on the left.

Buns on the left. You're throwing things on here, and look what's happening.

Sorry, sorry. Let's focus.

Nico, we got two sets of five on, yeah? Ten coming, yeah? Let's go, guys. Let's

go. We got it. Come on. Focus up. Let's go red.

I have team coming right now. Hey, guys.

Come on.

Chicken. Jake, here's some chicken for you. Hey, Jake, do you have time to help

me plate here? Yeah, I do. Here you go. All right, guys. You guys look like you

worked hard. Did you work hard today? Yeah.

Nice. Well, we worked hard for you, too. Hope you have a fantastic day. Jake,

you're doing great. Thank you for taking that role.

Right. One minute. Otherwise, these kids are going to sit down and eat the

chicken, guys. Let's go.

Sorry about the wait, by the way. It's OK.

Food, burger.

Let's go. Sauce, sauce, sauce. I got it. Let's go.

Go, my man.

flavor is really nice the patty is really juicy and the cookie is nice

chips are really good so i'm probably gonna vote for blue red cream the last

table's on the way come on finish strong here you go man here you go hope you

enjoy your meal today all right that's it done yeah this was a rough one for y

'all i mean you tried to pick it up at the end but it definitely started really

really rough

All right, let's clean up. Good job. Thank you, sir.

Finish strong.

Last table, guys. Come on. Let's go, guys.

Well done.

Sorry about the wait. Let's go.

Finish strong. Come on. Go, go. Enjoy, guys. You're welcome.

Right, blue team, come here.

Now, I am shocked.

We started slow. Then we found our momentum.

But then we stopped talking to each other. You made such hard work out of a

burger.

I expected more.

Clear down.

Yes, chef.

Okay, kid, once you finish your lunch, it's time to vote for your favorite

So you kick one of these balls to the red goal or the blue goal, depending on

the team you would like to vote for.

I like red more because I feel like it's more kid -friendly.

Definitely looking red more than blue.

I think I'm going to vote red more.

It's good.

I've definitely had worse.

I think we had two major obstacles. I think the first one was kind of

handicapping ourselves by going eight versus ten. It's not really what you

to do in a soccer game.

I think the second obstacle was frying the chicken. We had the option of

grilling it, and we chose to deep fry it instead, and I don't think that worked

out for us.

This one is super juicy. This one is not that juicy, so I think I'm going to

vote for the blue.

I like the team red a little better than the blue.

ready for us i think they should be faster at cooking because they're on

chef should have stuck with our conviction at the beginning it was a

jumbled mess at the start there was no real direction the girls fell on fire

that was quite frustrating that's the most embarrassing thing we didn't

well right we know we can all do better it's my bad i'm the captain We shouldn't

have gone with all the extras. A lot went wrong today. We changed our menu a

times. We lost our rhythm. And we had a grill get on fire.

And me as captain, I am really worried about going home today. I feel like I

failed the team. But I'm just hoping our flavors save us.

Hey, way to finish strong, everybody.

We had a great fourth quarter. And there was only eight of us.

Katie.

So I have the immunity pin, but, you know, obviously we are vulnerable.

The fact that we did put out raw chicken. So I feel bad that I'm safe and

potentially one of them is going to go home.

Boys and girls, all of you, thank you.

So much for being here. Now, on behalf of the entire MasterChef family, we

honestly hope you enjoyed lunch. Did you?

Right, all of you, listen up. We would like to introduce you to the amazing

representing Asia Pacific and Europe, the blue team.

And representing Africa and the Americas, our red team.

Now, boys and girls, today you all got to eat an incredible dish from the blue

team and an incredible dish from the red team. Then you voted for your

favourite. Now, the good news is the winning team will get to enjoy their

victory, but sadly, somebody from the losing team will be going home.

Right, the winning team.

Congratulations go to...

The... Red Team!

Red

Team.

The kids loved the flavor of the chicken. And...

They love the mac and cheese. Good job.

Dave, captain of the winning team. You get that immunity pin. Well done. Let's

go, Dave.

Thank you.

And that comes with a huge advantage back in the MasterChef kitchen.

Keep it in Africa. Well done, well done. I am shocked.

But even though things went very badly at some points during the cook, everyone

stepped up and we still got the job done.

Right, kids, a very special thank you to all of you. Good night and go Team USA!

Go Team USA! Ready?

Go Team USA! Go Team USA!

Blue team, honestly, what a mess.

We had fires, we had dysfunction, and Joe, Tiffany and myself feel that there

were three of you who played the biggest role in your team's loss today.

Ted. Daniel and Nico stepped forward.

Ted, you were the captain.

Ten minutes in, you lost your voice.

Half the team didn't know what was going on, and it was a shamble.

Daniel and Nico, you were causing additional chaos with the burgers. When

see that fat burning and that tray igniting, you've got to get your...

But the three of us agree, the home cook leaving tonight is...

Ted. All right,

guys. That's good. That was the captain. I didn't pull the other.

Ted, unfortunately, you lost control.

A captain needs to be a leader.

And I'll be honest, it's sad to see you leave. Thank you, Chef.

Come and say goodbye, then, please.

Yeah? Thank you very much. Thanks, Chef. Tiffany, you too.

Thanks, Chef. You too. Appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Say goodbye, then drop your apron.

It hurts being eliminated. I kind of feel like I let my team down, and I just

didn't come through as the captain.

Good night, Ted.

All right, everybody.

Next time, we're having a World Cup cook -off. You will be cooking dishes. That

will be perfect for a FIFA World Cup watch party.

But there's a twist.

Dame, at halftime, you get to bench one cook from this challenge.

Wow. Oh, boy. And with elimination on the line... Somebody is getting that

red card. Oh, no.

That twist could change the whole game.

I could take out one of their top cooks. Being strategic.

I can't do that. I'm in shock.

One potato, two potato.
