(Announcer) Last time, on
Masterchef.

It was a mystery box challenge
of epic proportions.

Balls, and it was a brain
and it was a massive tongue.

And Ryan, came up on top.

It's a great dish.

Putting him in control
of the competition.

What kind of a [Bleep] will give a live
crab to a blind chick?

(Christina) It fears me.

But when his strategy backfired...

You cook like an angel.

Helene was eliminated.

Your time to Masterchef is done.

Tonight,
the remaining home cooks

get a 3:00 A.M.
wake-up call...

Oh, my God.

(Announcer) And do battle in
one of the busiest kitchens

in the country.

Communicate with them.

(Gordon) Come on, let's go!
Coming! Coming!

(Announcer) As the
competition heats up...

No cheating!

Team members turn
on each other.

Shut your mouth, dude!

No, you shut your mouth!

Over easy in your face
right here.

What else do you need?
Tomato!

A disaster.

(Announcer)
And another Masterchef hopeful

sees their culinary dreams
end in tears.

(Announcer)
It's the middle of the night,

and the remaining
14 home cooks

are sound asleep
at a Los Angeles hotel.

[Elevator bell dings]
But the Masterchef judges

are about to change all that.

[Knocking on doors]

Good morning.
Oh, my God.

Are you awake?
Yeah.

I hear someone
banging on my door.

It's 3:30 A.M.,

and I'm just wondering,
what the heck is going on?

(Announcer) Today our home cooks
are about to get a taste

of the life of a professional
breakfast chef.

That means a very early start.

(Gordon)
Move your ass, big boy.

Ten minutes, downstairs.

Okay, I'll be ready
in ten minutes.

Get up, get up, get up.
Got to go.

I look at the time.
It's, like, 3:00 in the morning,

and I'm like,
"someone's gonna die for this."

Someone's gonna die.

(Announcer) While hundreds of
other hotel guests remain asleep,

the Masterchef contestants

have been told to head down
to the hotel's kitchen

for their latest
team challenge.

So here you are
in a professional kitchen...

A moment you've all
been dreaming of.

But you probably didn't expect
it in the middle of the night.

Your big challenge this morning
is working the early rush...

Cooking all

of the breakfast
room-service orders

at this huge Radisson hotel.

What?

Like, none of us
have even combed our hair,

let alone prepared
to go start cooking

for, like, hundreds
of hotel guests.

It's just mind-blowing.

Listen up...
The breakfast rush

is the hardest service
of the day.

People are hungry,
and they're in a hurry.

I am not what
you call a morning person.

And breakfast is the last thing
I want to make right now.

The dishes that hotel guests
will be ordering this morning

are a delicious oatmeal,

fresh fruit salad,

handmade pancakes,

egg-white omelet,

eggs Benedict,

and, of course, the all-American
classic breakfast...

Two eggs, any style.

Simple, straightforward.

I cook breakfast
all the time.

Actually, it's one
of my favorite meals.

I cook for my daughter
every morning before school.

So I know how to poach my eggs.
I know how to scramble 'em.

Feeling pretty good about
whoever picks me for their team.

(Gordon)
Christine and Josh,

you had the best dishes
in the previous challenge.

Both of you
are team captains.

Come over, please.

Even though
I'm vision-impaired,

I've gotten to know everyone's
cooking styles well enough

to know who I want
on my team.

Christine, you had
the winning dish.

You're gonna pick first.

This person understands
the importance of organization.

And because this person
works in a restaurant already,

my first pick is Felix.

(Gordon) Felix, wow. Good.

I think Felix is
a strong team worker,

but she also has initiative.

And I think that's important
to have on a team.

Okay, Josh.
Becky.

Good.

(Becky)
I love breakfast.

I used to work
in a little breakfast diner,

so I'm kind of familiar
with a lot of the protocol.

It's not about being fancy.
It's about being efficient.

My next pick is Scott.
Scott.

Wow.

Frankie.

Frankie, good.

My next pick is Tanya.

Tanya, how nice.

Anna.

Anna.

I need more manpower,
so my pick is Mike.

Mike, wow.

Monti.
Monti.

Good choice.

Christine, next up.

I would love to have Stacey
on my team.

Yeah!

[Applause]

I did not expect
to see you three there,

let me tell you.

I'm pretty pissed off.

How am I put in the same
category as Tali or Ryan?

Do people honestly
really look at me

and think that I'm
a weak cook?

'Cause if they do, then they
got something else coming.

This next person I choose

has a really good palate
and mind for food...

[Suspenseful music]

David Martinez.
[Applause]

(Ryan) Being one of the
last two to be picked

really shows
their judgment skills.

They can clearly
not tell talent

when it's right in front
of their face.

Christine.

♪ ♪

I don't want either one
of them on my team,

so it's pretty much choosing
the lesser of two evils.

♪ ♪

My last pick is Ryan.

Wow.
Wow.

Tali, come over
and join the Blue Team.

I'm standing there
in disbelief.

I can't believe
I am the bottom pick right now.

I don't deserve to be last.

I should be first.

Christine, because you had
the best dish

in the last challenge,

we're giving you another
advantage in this challenge...

A big one.

Right now you have the power

to switch out one member
of your team

with one member
of Josh's team.

[Mutters]

(All)
Ooh!

I'll remove Ryan.
Ryan.

(Ryan) This is garbage that
I'm getting traded like this.

I am not looking forward
to it at all.

And who do you want to take?

I'm taking Becky.

[Bleep] (Gordon) Wow.

Becky was Josh's first pick,

so immediately I know
that it's going to be

a thorn in his side,
and it'll hit him hard.

And I know
that I'm going to build

an even stronger team.

Happy to be here.
Happy to be here.

Both teams have got
90 minutes to prep

and then 90 minutes to serve.

Each team needs
one expediter.

He or she will be overseeing
every cart that leaves,

making sure that it leaves
within its window of time.

It is a hugely, hugely
important job.

Christine...

Who do you want
as your expediter?

♪ ♪

Felix.
Felix.

Christine picked me
as the expediter for her team.

I'm a food runner,

so I feel completely confident
doing that.

And, Josh,
what about you?

♪ ♪

I'm gonna choose
Monti on this one.

I'm pretty confident that
Monti will be able to perform

as the expediter for our team

because of her
organization skills

and the attention that
she puts into her plates

in every other challenge
that we have.

You'll begin
serving breakfast

at 7:00 A.M.

Excited? (All) Yes, chef!

Your 90 minutes prep time
starts now.

(Gordon)
Off you go.

(Announcer)
In this challenge,

the hotel guests have
pre-ordered their breakfast

and specified
a delivery time.

Each team has 130 orders.

Satisfied customers will hang
a tag of the team's color

on their door.

The team
with the least number of tags

will face a pressure test.

I want you two cutting fruit
for the fruit salad.

I want you to get
on the oatmeal.

Frankie, I want you
on the pancakes.

Josh just says,
"okay, you're doing this.

You're doing that."

He just assigns jobs...

More of a dictatorship
kind of thing.

In my opinion,
it's smart to ask everybody,

"what is it
that you like to make?"

So that people can have
passion in what they're doing.

(Announcer)
Unlike the Blue Team,

the Red Team is working out
stations democratically.

I'm gonna probably
do the prepping

and then the egg beating.

I'm good with pancakes
and proteins.

I can do bacon
on the flattops.

So we huddle up

and immediately assess
strengths and weaknesses.

Good start... I definitely think
we're gonna win it.

Big challenge.

I mean, first time
in a real kitchen,

they look like
proper chefs.

Yeah, they're
in the right outfits.

They just got to cook like them.
Exactly.

This is all about
organization, right?

Everything comes together
with the prep here.

(Monti)
My bulletin board...

It's got every item
that we're cooking.

So, that way, no one
has any questions

as to what they have to cook.

I laid out my board in a way
in a way where I could read it,

because I know that I'm gonna be
the one reading it anyways.

And I started prepping
to help my team.

(Announcer)
Gordon is worried

that the Red Team haven't made
nearly enough sauce

for their
eggs Benedict orders.

You've got enough portions
of the hollandaise for ten,

and you got
25 an order.

And there's only
35 minutes to go

before we start serving.

Chef, I'm confident
i can make...

No, no, hollandaise is not
the kind of batch

you can make when you start.

It's got to be made
beforehand.

So, if I was you, I'd just step
up a gear a little bit.

25 minutes left, Blue Team!

25 minutes on the clock

before our orders
need to start going up!

The bacon's scorched,
you know what I mean?

The spinach isn't cooked
all the way through.

Just make sure you're not
going into service

and then finding out...
"I can't use that."

Monti's gonna be expediting,
but she's gonna be expediting

a bunch of plates of crap

if you can't get
your guys organized.

No more cutting
on this table!

Figure out where else
you're gonna cut!

I have to expedite
on this table!

[Bleep], somebody's getting
testy over there.

(Announcer) While expediter Monti is
being very vocal on the Blue Team,

over on the Red Team,
Captain Christine

is becoming increasingly
concerned by Felix's silence.

Felix, is there
anything you need?

I feel like I'm having trouble
communicating with Felix,

who's my expediter.

I'm not getting any feedback,
so it's frustrating.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six! Five!

Four!

Three!

Two! One!

7:00!
Here we go!

(Announcer)
It's 7:00 A.M.,

and the 90-minute
breakfast room service begins.

Monti, what do
you need next?

Hold on, dude.

Talk to me.

Look at the [Bleep] board.
It's right there.

As soon as
we started cooking,

people stopped looking
at the bulletin board

and started asking me...

"How many eggs
do I need to cook?"

I don't know.

Why don't you look
at the [Bleep] board?

I have 150 [Bleep] Tickets
in front of me,

and I have to figure out
how to put it all together.

Do we have the hollandaise?
Got it!

Do we have the muffins
and the scrambled eggs?

(Announcer) While Monti struggles
to keep the Blue Team on track,

the Red Team is having
a total communication breakdown.

Felix, you're the only one
that can expedite.

We need to get
these plates out!

We have a server here
waiting for the food!

(Stacey) The pressure in
this kitchen is insane.

It's loud, it's hot.

Knife!
Knives everywhere.

I mean, eggs flying,
potatoes flying.

You know, it's insane.

I got a scrambled egg.
I need a plate.

You guys, get plates.

I don't know what's going on.

People are just shouting
all around me.

Help Felix.
We need to get stuff out.

It's chaos right now.

[Bleep].

(Monti)
We need three more omelets!

And we still need
scrambled eggs!

We need an over easy!

Who's got the over easy?

(Announcer) It's the remaining
14 home cooks' first time

in a professional kitchen.

Each team must cook 130
breakfast room-service orders

at a busy Los Angeles hotel.

Well done, Monti.
Keep it going, yeah?

All right.
Go, go, go, go.

Really good job.
Thank you, sir.

(Announcer) The Blue Team's first
orders are quickly moving up

to hotel guests.

But over on the Red Team,

visually impaired Captain
Christine

is frustrated at her team's
progress so far.

Felix, get the food
on the plate.

Coming, coming.

[Dish clatters]

Red Team,

listen to me.

The Blue Team
are sending

way more rooms
than you guys.

You've got to lift it up.
Come on.

Please tell people
what to do,

what they need
to get on there, okay?

All right,
I'm trying my best.

I didn't hear much from Felix,
which is key.

She's the only one
that can look at the tickets

and know what needs
to go on which plate.

Hey, what do we need?

Felix, communicate with them.

She's not pulling help
where she needs it.

She's trying to do
everything herself.

All right,
Felix, Felix, Felix.

Yes? Yes? An expediter needs to talk.

For the last five minutes,
you've just shut down,

and there's no communication
going on.

You have got to talk
to your team.

I'm in way over my head.

When you have, you know,

five people yelling at you
all at the same time,

you really can't think.

If we lose today,

it's gonna be my head
on the breakfast platter.

(Announcer)
On the Blue Team,

there are
no communication issues

for Puerto Rican-born Monti,

who's yelling out orders
in both English and Spanish.

Go, go, go.

Otra mesa!
Otra mesa!

There's a big difference between
the Red Team and the Blue Team.

The Blue Team...

You know, even though it looks
a little bit more frantic

and it's sort of
chaotic in there,

Monti's actually doing
a good job.

More tables, please!

Red Team got backed up.

All of a sudden, Felix turned
into a control freak

and wasn't delegating.

She's running around
like a headless chicken.

The expediter... rule number one
is to communicate.

The minute you stop
communicating,

you're in trouble.

Otra mesa!
Otra mesa!

(Announcer) The Blue Team
has been pumping out orders

for more than 45 minutes.

So Joe heads upstairs

to see if the hotel guests
are satisfied.

Good morning.
Room service.

Hello, we have
your breakfast.

Wonderful.
May I come in?

Absolutely.

So you have the oatmeal
and the eggs Benedict

from the Blue Team.

Okay.
Great. Enjoy.

The Blue Team's food
was very good.

I had the eggs Benedict,

and it was
very flavorful.

I ordered the pancakes.

And I liked the consistency
of the Blue Team's.

They're like grandma
used to make.

(Announcer)
Happy customers

mean votes for the Blue Team.

While the Blue Team gets
good reviews upstairs,

downstairs the Red Team
continues to struggle.

We're gonna run out
of hollandaise.

(Announcer)
As Gordon predicted,

the Red Team has run out
of hollandaise,

and Felix
is cutting corners.

Felix, Felix.
Yes?

That's not good enough.

Eggs Benedict gets napped,
and the egg gets covered

with hollandaise.
Okay.

This is not a dessert
with chocolate sauce.

Start again, please.

I hear Felix
getting chewed out

for putting only a drizzle
of hollandaise sauce

on the eggs Benedict.

Not being able to see
and being team Captain,

it's very difficult.

I need my team members
to step up

and just take ownership
of what they're doing.

We need more hollandaise.
Make sure we don't run out.

Tanya, are you
on the hollandaise?

Christine, I'm on it.
I'm on it.

Christine is so vocal,
it's extraordinary.

She is really kind of
rising to the top, as we say.

She's taking control.

(Gordon)
More importantly,

now there's great
communication going on.

You guys need to worry
about the eggs Benedict.

Felix needs to get
these out.

(Announcer)
Christine's take-charge attitude

is winning praise
from the judges.

But in this challenge,

it's votes from satisfied
hotel guests that matter.

We have the breakfast prepared
by the Red Team for you.

The hollandaise sauce
was amazing.

The eggs
were perfectly cooked.

(Woman) So the red
team's healthy omelet...

The ingredients were awesome.
The presentation was great.

It doesn't have
enough flavor,

so it immediately needed
a little salt and pepper.

(Gordon)
25 minutes to go, guys.

(Announcer) The Red Team
continues to get orders out.

But over on the Blue Team,

Gordon discovers
standards are slipping.

$18... is that it on fruit?
Who put the fruit on there?

I did. I did. Look at me.

That was a mistake on my part.
That's a mistake.

No way.
No way, no way.

Would you pay
18 bucks for that?

No.

You know that's not cooked!

You're cooking them.
He's taking them,

you're serving them.

It's raw!

(Monti)
We are getting plates out,

but the quality of the food
that I'm receiving

is not up to par.

The whole thing's
a [Bleep] disaster.

We need an over easy again!
This one's broken!

And we need three orders
of scrambled eggs.

Ryan, what are you doing
besides watching them work?

I've asked everybody for help...
If they need any help.

Okay, let's get organized.

(Josh)
The kitchen is crazy and hectic.

I'm looking around at Ryan,

and he looks a little confused,
standing around,

looking,
wondering what's going on,

and I'm getting frustrated.

(Announcer) Things are about
to go, from bad to worse

as Joe heads downstairs with
a serious customer complaint

for the Blue Team.

We have a hair.

We have a hair
on a plate.

The customer sent it back.

Oh, [Bleep].

Uh-uh, guys, please.

It's the expediter's role
to make sure

hair isn't on plates.

So, when it comes down to that,

I think it all falls down
to Monti.

(Josh) Monti, make sure
the plates are clean.

It came back with a hair.

It's not mine.
My hair is this short.

Well, it's not mine.
My hair is super long.

Come on, guys.
You're better than that.

(Monti) I think I'm doing a better
job than anyone else on my team

because they can't handle
[Bleep] scrambling an egg.

How are they gonna handle

putting together
all these meals?

12 minutes to go
till breakfast is over, guys.

Let's go.

(Announcer) On the red
side, carts are rolling,

as Felix finally finds
her voice.

Let's start setting up
these all-Americans.

Let's put
the potatoes on there.

All-American,
here are your potatoes.

(Announcer)
Meanwhile on the Blue Team,

a power struggle
threatens to destroy

their earlier lead.

Shut your mouth, dude!

No, you shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth, dude!

Guys, we're a team.
Stay as a team.

(Monti)
Josh is moving my plates around

and starts trying to tell me
how to work it.

It's like, "why don't
you stick to putting out"

"some delicious food?

Because you're not doing a very
good job of that right now."

What's the deal
with these pancakes?

They're getting cold.

We need to get them
out of here now!

Listen to the Blue Team now.

I mean, think of it
as a ship or a submarine.

It's not even a mutiny.

It's just
an absolute cluster.

Those are cold, too cold.
(Monti) No, they're not!

They're too cold.
They're not hot.

We need hot.
Those are hot!

They're cold.

They're flappy.
Look at this.

Dude, that was a hot...
That's ridiculous.

What is going on?
What is going on?

(Ryan) There are massive outbursts
between Monti and Josh.

I could just see
the entire team dynamic

falling apart
and crumbling around me.

Over easy's in your face
right here!

What else do you need?
Tomatoes!

A disaster.

Just over five minutes left!
Finish strong!

(Announcer) Breakfast
service at this busy hotel

is coming to an end

for the remaining
14 home cooks.

Red Team, Blue Team...
It's still all to play for.

It's neck and neck.

Come on, let's go.

(Announcer)
All plates must be on the carts

by 8:30 A.M. on the dot,

so both teams scramble to get
their final orders completed.

We need an eggs Benedict
right now.

My omelet's
getting cold.

Hot pan behind.

(Josh) So it's getting
to the end of service,

and I'm confident
that all our dishes

were absolutely delicious.

Pancakes up!

(Josh) I'm pretty sure that
we had the Red Team beat

when it comes to food.

These ones are ready.
Thank you.

It just depends on how much food
they all got out,

but I'm confident
in the flavorings of our food.

(Gordon) Last minute...
One minute to go.

One more order left, guys!

Scrambled eggs,
pork sausage, wheat,

one order of pancakes!

(Gordon)
30 seconds to go!

Felix, pancakes.

All right, beautiful.

(Gordon)
Last dishes...

I need them now.

Ten!

Okay, one ticket left.

Eight, seven...

Felix!

Five, four,

three,

two...

It's not happening,
it's not happening.

One.
And stop.

Good job, blue.
[Cheers and applause]

Well done.

Okay, I got those coming.

(Announcer)
Time is up,

but Felix is still trying
to send out food.

Come here.
Put it down.

Do you want to get disqualified?
No, I don't.

Okay, so you're taking food out.
I already said stop.

Huh?

I just told you time is up.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
I was outside. I didn't hear...

No, look at me.
No cheating!

I'm not trying to.

So, when I say stop, what does that mean?
That means stop.

I'm not surprised
about that team cheating,

'cause it's probably the only
way they're gonna win.

(Christine) I'm just wanting to
throw my arms up in the air,

because I don't know
what the hell's going down,

and I'm team Captain,

and I just feel like
our team is going under.

[Crying] This is so much harder
than I thought it was gonna be.

I wish that I was
better organized,

that I could have done
a better job

telling everyone what to do

instead of trying
to do everything on my own.

It just breaks my heart
that if we lost today,

it would be my fault,
you know,

for not doing a better job.

Bring it in right here.
Come on.

There's no crying
in cooking.

Bottom line, you guys,
we're home cooks,

and we just ran a service

for the busiest hotel
in the country.

That's insanity, dude.

Good job, dude.
Thank you.

I feel like
we have a good chance,

considering a lot
of the people on that team

have never even stepped foot

inside of the back
of a restaurant before.

All right, dude.

(Announcer) It's the end of
the busy breakfast service.

The decision is now in the hands
of the hotel guests.

As Joe total up all the door
tags from satisfied customers,

the teams wait anxiously
to find out who won

and who will be facing
the upcoming pressure test.

[Suspenseful music]

I'm super nervous
before the judges announce

who's going to be
going into pressure test.

I just definitely don't want
to be in that position again.

Joe has collected
the results.

The scores
on the doors are in.

Joe?

One team got 60% of the vote.

And one team got
40% of the vote.

I look at my team,

this challenge.

With 60% of the vote...

[All cheering wildly]

I told you.
I told you!

Oh, my God.

I really shed tears of joy.

We don't have to face

[Bleep], yeah!

(Christine) Leading a team to victory
is a huge accomplishment for me.

I feel awesome,

ladder from bottom to top.

Red Team, congratulations.

The Red Team
wins the challenge,

and, wow.

It's just awful.

Congratulations, Captain.

You led them into victory...
Well done.

Really well done indeed.

Blue Team, you know what happens
when you lose a challenge.

Sadly you're gonna face

a very tough,
a very daunting

pressure test

where at least one of you

will be checking out
of the Masterchef kitchen

forever.

This sucks. I really did believe
we won this one.

and we know

who is completely
out of their depth.

(Tali) I'm confident that
they're gonna pick me.

Clearly I have
to be one of those three.

Joe...

Who are you sending

upstairs to safety?

The person that I think

deserves to miss
the pressure test

did their job
in a diligent way.

♪ ♪

David Martinez.

Go upstairs.
You're safe.

David, seriously?

The guy can't cook,

and he's an infectious
negative energy in the kitchen.

(Gordon)
Graham?

For me, it's clear.

This person

was able to stay focused
in the face of chaos.

♪ ♪

And that person...

Is Frank.

Frank and David are safe
from the pressure test,

and I'm pretty confident
I'm the last one.

This person never stopped.

Not just across
the 90 minutes of prep,

but across the 90 minutes
of service,

right to the very last dish.

The person I'm saving...

♪ ♪

Josh.

[Applause]

It's not you.

Monti, upstairs, please.

Congratulations.

Well done.

I'm pretty pissed that Monti's
up there safe and not me.

It's like a blow to the gut,

'cause I was definitely
the backbone of the team.

I'm pissed off.

The judges sent my two
arch "nemesises" up the stairs.

And now here I am
down in the trenches

having to fight
for my life.

So, for the four of you
who remain,

I'm sorry to tell you,
but today's pressure test

is a dessert

that still to this day

terrifies chefs
across the world.

It involves elements of a cake
and a souffle.

It's...

♪ ♪

A stunning...

Technical...

Molten lava cake.

This is not
your average dessert.

This is a performance.

When you slice into one,

you should be rewarded

with a chocolate,
gooey surprise.

Leave it in the oven
too long,

you've got a brownie.

Take it out too soon,

and you've got a mess.

All four of you...

Onto your stations, please.
Let's go.

The pressure is on.

On your stations

you have
identical ingredients...

Flour, sugar, eggs,
chocolate,

powdered sugar, cinnamon,
and butter.

And you have four attempts
to get the perfect cake.

If at any point
you think you've nailed it,

bring it up to us
straightaway,

because that is the cake
you'll be judged on.

Your 45 minutes

starts from...

Now.

Good luck.

(Announcer) Creating a
perfect molten lava cake

requires preparing a batter

with the exact amount
of a few basic ingredients.

The cake must be removed
from the oven

at precisely
the right moment,

just long enough
for the outside to cook

while the inside
remains liquid.

One second either way
can be the difference

between success and failure.

(Gordon)
This is a real pressure test.

The temperature in the oven
has to be hot enough

to sort of almost
crisp up the outside.

Right, but still liquid
in the center.

What about flavor?

(Gordon) Rich. Intense.

Not too sweet, though.
Not too sweet.

(Graham)
Almost a little bitter.

What's the strategy
for this test?

The strategy now
is to make the mix,

split it into four,

get one in
the oven first,

and then adjust

and use that first one
as a dummy run.

(Joe) The first one's a trial.
Absolutely.

Who might be crazy enough
of these four contestants

to bring up
their first one?

Tali.
Tali.

(Tali)
Right now it's just a matter

of getting the chocolate mixture
ready for the lava cake.

I got two ovens
and two hands

and four ramekins
is what my life comes down to.

(Josh) I don't deserve to
be in the pressure test.

The fact that chef Ramsay said
Monti was vocal the whole time

absolutely pissed me off.

(Gordon)
Ten minutes gone.

You've got to get one
in the oven.

Right.
How you feeling?

I'm very nervous.

You're sort of
disappearing,

almost like
a little mouse.

And yet I get so frustrated,
'cause you can cook.

I can.
Good luck.

Thank you.

How we doing, man?

I'm not much of a Baker, I guess.

So this wasn't, like,
my dream pressure test.

Do you think that you
belong down here?

I think Monti should
definitely be down here.

Monti?
Yeah, 100%.

What happened with Monti?

It was a complete
communication breakdown.

She didn't operate
the team well.

She didn't handle
the prep time right.

She didn't add up
the numbers right.

She didn't have
a good system.

That's not true.

You know, she might
have been vocal,

but she was vocal
in all the wrong ways.

Ryan, [Bleep] You, dude.

You deserve to go home.
You're a jerk.

I guess I'm just
a little frustrated,

but I'm not gonna let it
affect my food.

You know what he needs?

Honestly,
i would love

to [Bleep] just
slap him around.

(Tanya) I know Ryan rubbed a
lot of people the wrong way,

but there's
a softness to him

and a kindness to him
and a spirit to him

that is unmatched.

(Gordon)
15 minutes gone.

There's got to be something

in the oven in order
for you to test.

Tali, how many have you got in?
What's your strategy?

I got two in,
going right now.

Two off the first batch?
Yeah, so...

So who in this group of four
is gonna go home today?

[Sighs] I think Josh
is gonna go home.

Josh?
Yes.

Maybe your buddy Ryan
might go home.

I hope Ryan
doesn't go home.

Remember, these take

minimum 15 minutes to cook.

If you don't have them
in the oven,

better do it now.

(Gordon) They were all too late
putting the first one in the oven,

'cause how you gonna test it?

(Graham)
Cooking blind.

(Gordon)
Cooking blind.

They've got to be looking
at the first test

coming out of the oven now,
and yet still...

(Joe) I don't see any
coming out of the oven.

Wait.
Ryan is...

What is he doing?

Is he bringing one out?
He's got one.

It looks undercooked from here.
(Graham) Mm-hmm.

It's definitely raw.

Let's see.
Let's see.

Oh, my God.

[Bleep].

Just diarrhea'd
on a plate.

[Laughter]

The first one that I put in

was intended to be
a test run all the way.

I wanted to try to feel out
the timing of it.

I just hope that my second one
is more firm.

(Anna)
I look in the oven,

and my first one...
It's not baked,

so I am freaking out.

If it's undercooked,
it's gonna sink.

It's going.

Josh's just collapsed.

(Gordon)
Seven minutes to go.

(Ryan) When pulling
the second one out,

it looks much firmer
than the first one did.

Now my entire fate
lies in the last one.

Five minutes to go.

(Announcer)
Tonight's pressure test

is to bake
a perfect molten lava cake.

At any time now,
you can serve.

(Announcer) The home cooks
get just four chances

and 45 minutes to cook,
test, and present

one perfect, gooey-centered cake
to the judges.

(Gordon) Five minutes remaining.
Come on.

(Announcer)
But with time running out,

no one has presented
their cake.

I was going to cut
into this as a test,

but my other cake's probably
been there just as long.

So I said to myself,
"you know what?

"I'm going to take a gamble,

and this is gonna be the cake
to present to the judges."

(Gordon)
Are you serving that, Tali?

I'm serving it.
Let's go.

Let's go, then.

Right.
Are you happy with that?

I hope so.

Ohh.

Oh!

Good job, Anna.

Wow.

[Bleep].

Got a straw
in your back pocket?

(Ryan)
I am so bummed out right now.

I'm not a scientist
in baking in the kitchen.

I'm a magician
in the kitchen,

and this does not lend well
towards me.

I'm just hoping at this point

that it tastes better
than the other people's cakes.

(Gordon)
[Bleep].

[Sighs]

I mean, it tastes good.

Unfortunately
it's undercooked.

Tali's is very floury.
(Joe) Absolutely.

(Graham)
And it's too sugary.

In the mix, especially.
In the middle too... not cooked.

[Gordon sighs]

(Gordon) That was definitely
45 minutes of pressure,

let me tell you.

Josh, Anna,
step forward, please.

Both of you,

in our minds,

produced a molten lava cake
of pure perfection.

Congratulations.

[Cheers and applause]

Josh showed
great precision,

because you did work
under pressure.

And you nailed
that pressure test.

Really good job.

Anna, your cake was
as good as any cake

you could have
in a restaurant.

And quite frankly,

you took a pressure test
and turned it

into a demonstration

for the rest
of these contestants

on how to create
baking perfection.

Congratulations.

We've never seen
anything like that.

Thank you.

You nailed it.

Thank you, chef.

Take you and Josh upstairs
to the balcony.

Well done.
[Applause]

(Tali)
So I'm there with Ryan,

my closest ally,

and either one of us
could go home right now.

This is no joke.

(Gordon)
Ryan, Tali,

you bonded
in this competition.

(Ryan)
This really sucks.

How could they possibly destroy
the dream team

so early on?

One of the molten lava cakes

stood up,
tasted floury,

tasted bland,

was cold in the center.

The other one
tasted good,

but it wasn't cooked
sufficiently.

(David)
I hope Ryan goes home today.

He does not belong
in the Masterchef kitchen.

Ryan has taken a lot of punches
in this competition so far,

but he's not a bad person.

(Frank)
Tali's got to go home.

If you can't put flavor
on the plate,

you're not gonna put it
past these judges.

I think both of them
need to go home.

(Gordon) The person leaving
the Masterchef kitchen is...

Ryan, Tali...

[Sighs]

I'm gonna turn this around.

I'm gonna ask

that individual
who knows who he is

that didn't produce
a stunning molten lava cake

to act on integrity

and to be noble.

And to come up here

and hand me their apron.

[Suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

Oh, my gosh.

Tali, upstairs.

I thought it was
a noble move by Ryan

to give his apron up.

Ryan was
my really close friend.

And now I carry the torch
for the both of us.

How are you feeling?

Disappointed.

(Gordon)
You're disappointed?

We're disappointed.

So far, you've
handled the pressure

in the competition
brilliantly.

I did not expect you
to present

a molten chocolate soup
on that plate.

Thank you, Ryan.

Please take your apron
and put it onto your station.

And leave
the Masterchef kitchen.

Clearly that chocolate
molten lava cake

got the best of me today.

I just feel
sick to my stomach

that this is the note
that I'm gonna be leaving on.

This has been an incredible
experience for me.

I'm very thankful
for having the chance

to show the judges
what I could do.

Thank you very much.

I met a lot
of great people.

I wouldn't trade it
for anything.

This has reinstilled in me
how good of a cook I am.

I guarantee that you have
not seen the last

of the flavor elevator.

That was a serious
pressure test.

From now on in,

we're gonna turn it up.

Get some rest.

You're gonna need it.

(Announcer)
Tomorrow night on Masterchef...

We've rewritten
the rule books.

Oh, man, something's
about to go down.

Oh, gosh.

And it's gonna be ugly.

(Announcer) As the pressure
intensifies, new rivalries form...

I am the best cook here.

If Becky's name gets called,
I'm going to vomit.

(Announcer) As another
contestant loses control.

(Gordon)
Monti!

How can you set fire
to a trifle?

(Announcer) And when a dessert
challenge gets messy...

That was a disaster.

(Announcer) Another home cook is
banished from the Masterchef kitchen.
