(Male announcer) Last
time, on Masterchef...

- Becky, well done.
- Yes, finally!

(Announcer) Becky took control
of the elimination challenge

and turned the Masterchef
kitchen upside down...

(Gordon)
Look at the [Bleep] mess.

(Announcer)
With explosive results.

Aah!

Have a little respect.

(Gordon)
That is a disaster.

See this?

(Announcer) In the end,
Mike was eliminated.

Your time is done
in Masterchef.

(Announcer) But in a
shocking turn of events,

there was a double
elimination...

What?

(Announcer) As Tanya became
the second casualty.

Your time is done.

(Announcer) Tonight, a menacing
sea urchin takes center stage.

Oh, [Bleep].

(Announcer) And the catch of
the day sends a tidal wave

through the Masterchef kitchen.
[Bleep]

It's Masterchef,
not masturbate.

(Monti) Everyone can go home,
as far as I'm concerned.

(Announcer) And one more
Masterchef hopeful sinks.

I hope that fish doesn't
take you down today.

Being in top nine,
I really can't believe

that I'm in this position
right now.

Welcome, welcome,
welcome.

The competition
is so tight right now.

But I totally belong here.

(Graham) It's time for another
mystery box challenge.

(Joe)
As with all mystery boxes,

we will be watching
your every move

and tasting your dishes
as you cook.

We will select
three dishes to taste.

And the person with
the best dish

will get a monumental advantage
in the next challenge.

Whoever wins the mystery box

gets the sickest advantage.

It's always like, "oh,
you can cook with chocolate."

And they'll have
to cook with [Bleep]."

(Gordon) Okay, on the count of three,

you'll lift your boxes.

One, two...

Gently.

Three.

[Gasps]
Wow.

Oh, my God.

Whoa.

Oh, my God.

(Christine) I start hearing,
like, clicking noises.

Christine, do not start
feeling your box.

Okay.

[Blowing kisses]

I'm mesmerized.

Look at you
moving around there.

(Tali)
It looks beautiful.

Kind of represents... just me
in this moment right now.

(Gordon) Right in front of you,
you have the most amazing

sea urchin.

You've got to be
very careful

breaking this thing down.

Some of those spines
are poisonous.

So, all of you,
come down here,

and I'll show you
how to do it.

Let's go.

(Josh)
I'm like, "thank God."

I came here to win,
not to die from a sea urchin.

(Gordon) First and foremost
important, like any ingredient,

trust me, you gotta
get comfortable with it.

Do not get intimidated by it.

In every sea urchin,
there's five

beautiful bright orange...
We call them tongues... of coral.

That is the sea urchin uni.

You can actually
eat it raw from the shell.

Now, this is the most
humane way

of dispatching the uni.

Gonna nip the top.

Basically what we're doing

is just cutting
a nice smooth, round hole.

(Becky) Watching chef Ramsay
work is just Zen-like.

His method is just perfect.

(Gordon) Now, take that
out very carefully.

Christine, if you just give me
your finger please, darling.

First of all,
just the size of the hole.

Okay.
Okay?

And then the coral
is just on there now.

Okay.
There it is there.

From there, the spoon
underneath.

Once the core is exposed,
the oxygen decomposes.

So when you take them out,

you have to really
get ready to use them.

The flavor
is extraordinary.

Creamy, incredibly salty.

So, use your imagination.

In the demonstration,
chef Ramsay

made it look super easy.

And I'm thinking
to myself,

"uh, yeah, mine's not
gonna look that way at all."

(Joe) Since sea urchin
is the only ingredient

in the mystery box,
we're giving you

a limited pantry
of other ingredients

to complement
that amazing sea urchin.

(Gordon)
You've all got 60 minutes

to make one stunning
sea in dish.

(Joe)
Are you ready?

Yes.
Yes, chef.

(Joe)
Your time starts...

Now.

The winner of this
challenge is being decided

right now by choosing
the right ingredients,

the right pairing, and the
right way to showcase the uni.

But they've got
to understand the strength

of the creaminess,
the saltiness,

and what a sea urchin
and can do to a dish.

(Graham)
What would you do with this?

I would do the most amazing
fresh pasta

and do a roasted lobster.

Half the sea urchin
running through the pasta,

and the other half
in the sauce.

Nice. I might just do a Cole
simple marinated vegetables.

Take a scallop, sear it,
slice it,

and then froth up some
of the uni just over the top.

Here?
Yeah.

(Josh) Today I'm making a pasta
with a creamy uni sauce.

And I'm gonna put some
uni filets on top.

But I think
it's pretty early

to be working
with the urchin.

David's more of a pork
and beef kind of guy.

I don't think he's, um,
gonna do well today at all.

Hi, Tali,
how are you feeling?

Good, chef.
I'm making an uni shooter.

I'm going to...
An uni shooter?

Yeah.
Why?

It just looks so pretty.

And I'm going to put a little
bit of Tequila in there.

You're one brave man.
You know that?

I know.

Good luck.

I have my uni out.
It's in here,

looking creamy
with some butter.

And make this baby
into a little risotto.

And I'm feeling
pretty good.

[Crack] Oh, [Bleep]. Oh...

(Gordon) Just coming up
to 20 minutes to go.

What?

(Monti) I'm just gonna
do this real fast, man.

Forgive me.
Oh, my God, dude.

I hope that's not
your brain.

(Gordon)
Look, Frank is using gloves.

Becky's going in,
no gloves.

(Graham) Right, barebacking.
The balls of her.

Do you know what I mean? (Joe)
She's got a lot of confidence.

She's cooking
with a lot of confidence.

(Gordon)
Love the idea of Stacey.

She's doing
a California roll.

That's bold, isn't it?
Yeah.

(Graham)
Felix, risotto.

It's almost like a little mix
of Japan via Italy.

Very complicated.

I think a chef in restaurant
would be taking

a big risk putting a dish
like that together.

We'll see
if she can do it.

Oh, God,
that's so good.

(Joe) Okay, guys, just
over ten minutes left.

Christine.
Hi, chef.

Who's gonna be
in the bottom three

with the sea urchin
tonight?

Uh, I think Monti
will be.

Thanks, Christine.

So, Becky, you've been
in the top three

more than anyone else.

You're on everyone's
hit list

as labeled the number one
they need to take out.

Who would you love
to see go down?

Uh, I wanna see
Monti go home next.

I question her
as a Masterchef.

I mean, she's a pretty good,
like, recipe user and stuff.

But I think that
she has a schtick

that has lasted her
quite awhile.

Wow.

That's what I think.
Okay.

(Monti) Screw people that think
I'm gonna be in the bottom.

I'm gonna win
this [Bleep].

This isn't who's the best home
cook that cooks on a budget.

It's who wants
to be a Masterchef.

You know what?
People look at me

like I'm gonna struggle
at everything,

and anyone who does
think I'm a fluke

can kiss
my Puerto Rican ass.

Just under two minutes
to go, guys.

Start plating, please.

(Announcer) Tonight's
mystery box challenge

contained a Masterchef first...
Sea urchin.

Forgive me.
Oh, my God, dude.

I hope that's
not your brain.

(Announcer) As always, the home
cook with the winning dish

will take control
of the competition.

(Gordon)
Ten...

Nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one.

And stop.
Hands in the air.

[Applause]

(Announcer) Having carefully
tasted everything

throughout the challenge,

the judges now take
one final look

to identify
three standout dishes.

(Gordon) We've now
chosen three dishes

that stood out,
really stood out.

The first person
we'd like to invite down...

Felix.
Let's go.

[Applause]

(Becky)
Felix? Whatever.

I know that
I'm better than her.

Okay.
Explain to us.

What is it, please?

(Felix) It's an uni risotto
in a little bit of ginger,

some pearl onions, sake,
and snow peas.

So visually, the uni's gone.
It's disappeared.

Why nothing on top
at the end?

I did an uni cream sauce.

(Gordon)
What else is in there?

(Felix) Yuzu to give it a little
bit of citrus brightness.

I mean, it's breathtaking.

I mean, absolutely
bloody delicious.

Tough just doing a risotto,

let alone
a sea urchin risotto.

Bold move, but well done.

Thank you.

(Graham) I love the
fresh grating of citrus

over the top with the zest.

You know, it makes it...
[Inhales]

You get those
essential oils.

It's just a really,
really complex

technique-driven dish
that showcases the uni.

Great dish.
Thank you.

I haven't seen you
up here since

the first mystery box,
right?

Welcome back.
Thank you.

This is amazing.
Thank you, Joe.

This is really taking it
to another level.

This is what
we wanna see.

You're back in this
competition big-time

because you're kinda
pulling on it

from all levels now
and then nailing it.

Good job. Congratulations.
Thank you so much.

[Applause]

The second home cook
that has

made it into the top three.

The dish was plated
to where

it looked like it came out
of a restaurant.

And this person has never
been in the top three.

Please, come down...

Josh.

[Applause]

Josh... seriously?

There's no innovation.

I didn't see anyone
with my type of dish.

Because it's never
been done.

It looks beautiful.
Thank you.

(Graham) You got some
rock shrimp in there?

(Josh) Yeah, some rock shrimp
with then about three corals

from the sea urchin
that's in the sauce.

I just topped it off
with a couple

uni filets on top.

The cream sauce is really good.
Thank you.

I think that
the flavor of the urchin

is incorporated throughout.

And then you have some
of that extra goodies on top.

You know, that's one thing
that I love,

is being able to see the actual
ingredient in front of me.

Do you know what this
cut of pasta's called?

Um, I wanna say Linguini,
but I'm not sure.

It's called taglierini.

Taglierini.
"Tylenini."

Taglierini.
"Tylenini."

Taglierini.
"Tylenini."

Taglierini.
[Laughs] "Tylenini."

You need to learn
to say it

if you're gonna cook it.
Yes, chef.

Now, you know what's
brilliant about this?

This is the exact pasta
that I serve

this dish with in my restaurant.
Wow.

Did you know that
this would be the kind

of pasta you would use

to make a sea urchin
pasta with?

Well, my visual is to cook
something delicate.

Fettuccine or tagliatelle just
a bit too much for this dish.

You have those
kind of instincts?

Yes, I do.

If you really do,
you could win this thing.

That's the plan.

That's why I came here.

Thanks.
Thank you.

(Gordon)
Great job, Josh.

[Applause]

(Josh) So Joe tells me, "you
got the instinct of a winner."

And I've been thinking,

"that's what I been trying
to show you

from the audition days."

(Joe) Okay, we're gonna
only taste one more dish.

This home cook put a unique
twist on an Asian concept.

Get up here, Stacey.

[Applause]
Well done.

What?

I was surprised when
I hear Stacey's name called.

I didn't think that
she was gonna

come up with
anything amazing.

I went straightforward with
a rock shrimp and sushi roll,

and I made an uni aioli.

It's beautiful.

You're quite a dark horse
in this competition.

You gotta start understanding
your own capabilities.

Yes, chef.

I look at the effort
that's on that plate,

and I look at some of
the efforts that are behind you.

And it's just like
they've had 15 minutes

and you've had
three hours.

It's quite extraordinary.

Thank you so much.

(Joe) Is this something
you've seen before,

or you just kinda
came up with it?

I just came up
with it.

Wow, you really
kind of went at it like

someone who has
a lot of experience

creating sushi dishes.

Good job.

Thank you.

[Applause]

(Gordon)
Okay, well done.

I mean,
three stunning dishes.

And we're delighted to have
three dishes so close.

Only one of you can have
a huge advantage

in the next stage
of this competition.

(Stacey) I need to shoot
straight to the top

and not dance around
anymore.

I need to just win.

(Josh) Felix and Stacey,
they're nowhere near me.

This is really
my time to shine.

(Gordon)
Trust me, it was tough.

(Felix)
Come on, just say my name.

If he says Stacey's name,

I would shoot myself
in the head.

The winning dish
of the most amazing

mystery box
challenge tonight

belongs to...

Congratulations...

(Joe) The person with the best dish

will get a monumental advantage
in the next challenge.

(Announcer)
In this mystery box challenge,

the home cooks
had just one hour

to prepare one amazing dish
with a unique ingredient...

Sea urchin.

(Gordon) The winning
dish on the most amazing

mystery box
challenge tonight

belongs to...

Congratulations...

Felix.

All right, Felix.

[Applause]

This is exactly
what I needed.

It just reassured that
I still have what it takes,

and I can win this.

(Gordon) Felix, are
you ready to see what

your colossal advantage is?

[Laughs]
I'm ready.

(Gordon) Let's go. Congratulations.

Great job.
Thank you.

Great job.

Well done.

Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant.

Oh, man!

Wow, that's beautiful.

(David)
Yeah, that's really good.

This is Monti's.
What did she make?

It's a giant bowl
of pasta

with everything in
the world in there.

[Chuckles]

Nothing's on fire. That's good.
[Snickers]

(Announcer) As the winner
of the mystery box,

Felix is now in control
of the elimination test

where at least one person
will leave the competition.

I'm ready.
(Gordon) Good.

Because it's time
to go fishing.

Beautiful!
The pick of the ocean.

[Laughs]

What do you think of that?

(Felix)
That's amazing.

(Graham) You're looking at
nine completely different fish

from freshwater to saltwater.

Your enormous advantage
is that

you get to hand select
each and every fish

that you and your competitors
will be cooking.

Oh, my God.

I'm like, wow.

This is getting
really personal.

(Gordon) I mean, from a
chef's point of view,

rock fish, a nightmare
to filet, full of bones.

John Dory, so difficult
for those spines.

The work that needs
to go into making

a catfish delicious
is extraordinary.

Yellowtail,
good enough to eat raw.

Fresh salmon,
a dream

for anyone cooking
in this competition.

First of all,
what fish for yourself?

You have to think smart.

The easiest fish
would be the salmon.

I think I'm gonna
go with the Halibut.

The Halibut? Wow.

That's quite difficult
to filet.

You are up for
elimination, Felix.

I understand.

Well, you wanna put yourself
under pressure.

Now, the secret
of winning Masterchef

is getting rid
of your competition early.

Yes!

So, the most difficult
fish is the John Dory,

coupled with the rock fish.

Who is your biggest
competition right now?

Um, I would say Becky
is my biggest competition.

So I'm gonna give her
a hard fish.

So I give her
the rock fish.

(Gordon) That's a very smart move.

Who is next on your
hit list?

I would say Frank.

I'll give Frankie
the catfish.

(Gordon)
Well played.

(Joe) He's probably never
seen a catfish before.

(Gordon) Smart.

Can I just say,
I mean, you've got

two very difficult fish
to master there.

Who's leaving
the competition tonight?

Is she competition
for you?

Yeah, 'cause
she memorizes recipes.

I don't think
she's that creative.

(Joe) So what fish do you
give her to trip her up?

The John Dory.

(Joe) So which fish do you
give the weakest person?

The arctic char.

(Joe) It's probably the easiest fish.

(Felix)
It could be his downfall.

I give David
the yellowtail.

(Joe) So you're gonna give
him the most expensive

fish on the table?

Yeah.
Is that like handing him

a big present
with bow on it?

I don't really take David
as competition.

(Gordon)
Last one.

I'm gonna give
Christine the salmon.

You're making it
easier for her.

I love her.
(Joe) Wow.

(Gordon)
That is a dream.

(Graham) All right, Felix,
you baited the hook.

(Gordon) Ready?
I'm ready.

(Gordon) Wow, look at
that smile on her face.

That says it all
right there, yes?

Beaming from ear to ear.

We revealed to Felix

nine very different fish.

We gave Felix the opportunity
to choose

which fish each of you
will cook.

(Graham) All right, guys,
when you get into the pantry,

you'll see what
your fish of the day is.

You'll have five minutes
to shop for all the ingredients

to make an amazing dish out
of the fish you've been given.

Are you ready?
Yes.

(Graham)
Let's go.

What?

[Gasps] Holy crap. He's huge.

What the hell?

(Frank) Only thing up there
that I would be nervous about,

and that's what she gave me.

[Whispering]
Catfish.

(Josh) She would give me
the smallest fish in here.

(Christine) How am I
supposed to carry this?

Cindy, you put that
in my face!

[Laughs]
Ucch!

Nice.

(Becky)
The rock fish?

I don't entirely know what
rock fish even is.

Look at these guys.

Oh, he's gonna hurt me.

(Monti) I see my name next
to another name, John Dory.

But... it's not a dude.
It's a fish

with big lips
and huge tongue.

Bleh.

(Gordon) You've all got
60 minutes to cook

an amazing fish entree.

For one of you,
this is gonna be

your last 60 minutes
in the Masterchef kitchen.

The end of the road.

Trust me, right now,
it's sink or swim.

Your 60 minutes
starts now.

Let's see what's going on
inside this thing.

(Felix) I'm feeling really
happy with my choices.

Some are probably
kinda pissed.

I think Felix wants all of us
out of here, man.

Tough luck, man,
you know?

I'm here to win.

I think Felix
is pretty smart today.

I think she did
a great job strategizing.

I'm definitely swimming
with sharks right now.

(Announcer) For winning the
mystery box challenge,

Felix had the advantage
of selecting

which type of fish
each person had to cook.

[Whispering]
Crap.

(Announcer)
At the end of the day,

one or more
of the remaining home cooks

will be eliminated.

I'm nervous just because
I don't wanna mess this up.

Nine fish left, man,
and I think

we're all underwater
a little bit.

I think Felix
is pretty smart today.

I think she did a great job
strategizing

and doing what
she had to do.

(Felix)
I picked the Halibut.

I was wanting to challenge
myself, you know?

It's kinda heading off
to a rough start for me.

Why did I pick
this stupid flat fish?

(Gordon) Let's talk
about Felix's strategy.

She seized her advantage
to send Frank or Becky home,

her number one or two
competitors,

maybe followed closely
by Monti.

Those three people I would
really keep an eye on today,

because one of 'em
could go home.

Clearly, Becky is her
number one competition.

She announced that
to everyone

by giving her
the rock fish.

That's gotta be
the worst to cook with.

It's so meaty,
it's hard to get right.

One piece down.

And then close behind
is Frank with the catfish.

I mean, she knows that
he comes from long island.

You don't see a lot of catfish.
Right.

(Gordon) Monti, John Dory,
I mean, he's so difficult.

It's already been ten minutes
dancing around that John Dory.

E hasn't even put
a knife into it yet.

If she can't get her head
around the filet,

the John Dory could
send Monti home.

I'll figure it out.

Tali.
Hey, chef.

Arctic char.
You lucky, lucky man.

Lucky man.
Come on.

Look at it. It's a dream.
It is a dream.

What's the dish?
What are you doing?

Well, I'm gonna
sous vide this fish.

Sous vide it?
Yeah.

And I'm going to finish it
on the skillet.

It's an oily fish.
Yeah.

Why would you
sous vide that?

It cooks it in its own juices

and it keeps that flavor
locked in.

I'm going to make also
some green lentils,

you know, with a little bit
of bacon fat.

It's gonna be a nice,
mellow dish with some kick...

Sauce? I'm gonna use,
like, a mustard sauce.

A mustard sauce?
Yeah.

It's a very powerful
taste with something as sweet

and as delicate. He's
so sweet and delicate.

The fish is going
to speak for itself.

Good luck.
Thank you, chef.

(Joe) So, Felix, which
one is gonna go home?

Monti's going home.

She doesn't have that
cooking passion

that the rest of us
do here.

I'm hearing a lot
of people talking [Bleep],

which is my favorite
part of the day.

Felix, Tali, everyone can
go home as far as I'm concerned.

I'm gonna win this thing
just to prove a point.

Keep underestimating.

Top nine.
I'm still here.

(Christine) Am I going
against the bone?

You see it, right?
You're good.

(Gordon)
Exactly 20 minutes to go.

Come on.
[Clap]

Okay, David,
yellowfin California tuna.

What do you do
with it?

I'm gonna make it
in a deviled sauce.

Like a hot, spicy sauce? Mm-hmm.

Ooh.

Have you tasted that?
Yeah.

Why would you douse it

in such
an incredibly hot sauce?

I mean, that's gonna
blow your [Bleep] off.

Woof.
I feel like I need

a [Bleep] fire extinguisher
in my mouth.

(Joe) Hi, Christine.
It's Joe and Graham.

Hi, Joe and Graham.
What are you making?

I'm making, like,
a panko crusted salmon

and I'm serving it
with some rice

on top of some
stir-fried vegetables.

Seems like a pretty pedestrian
dish for you, Christine.

Not up to your
high level of palate.

You've never been
on the bottom three

in an elimination test.
No, I haven't.

Could today be that day?

Um, I sure hope not.

(Monti) Ten minutes, okay.
I can do this.

(Bec) Originally, I was thinking

that might make stock
with the rock fish,

but I ended up not having
enough time for that.

So, my strategy is just
to make some really

contrasting sauce
that's creamy and acidic...

To really not leave it
hanging there by itself.

Coated, right? I need
to melt butter, [Bleep].

(Joe) Christine, I think she's
panicking a little bit.

Her dish is very, very simple. Yeah.

Not a lot of technique.

Not a lot
of flavor profile.

(Graham) Becky's trying to
just saute the rock fish,

and she didn't use the head
or the carcass,

didn't make a broth.

Could be really tough
for her.

(Joe) Tali again with the sous
vide... completely unnecessary.

Arctic char is certainly
the easiest fish here today.

You could steam it,
grill it, saute it,

it's always gonna be
buttery and perfect.

(Gordon) He's doing everything he
can to take the flavor out of it.

I mean, he's serving
green lentils with it,

bacon, mustard.

(Graham) All those flavors
are gonna obliterate it.

I mean, that's stuff
you would serve with, like,

a nice roasted piece
of meat.

Big surprise
to me is how well Monti

his filleted her John Dory.

Yep.
Beautifully done.

(Joe) Could you imagine
if Monti comes out on top

and Felix comes out
on the bottom?

Goes home?
Yeah.

Stranger things have
happened on Masterchef.

(Gordon)
Five minutes left.

Taste everything.

Make this count.

All right, Tali,
how'd it taste?

This is just a trial run.
Trial run?

Yeah.

[Bleep] Hell.

You rubbed the arctic char
in dijon mustard?

I put a little
too much,

so the plan "B"
is to have

the beautiful sous vide
filet,

to finish it
on the skillet.

I might just
serve it like this.

You're gonna serve it li that now?
Yeah, I might do that.

It looks good.

It's stone-cold.

Tali, it's ice-cold.

I'm gonna warm it up
right now.

It's gonna be so fast.
It doesn't even need that much.

'Cause it's a delicate
fish right now.

Okay.
Three minutes to go.

Got it, chef. (Gordon)
May be your last.

(Tali) It's time for me to make
a move in this competition.

It's frustrating when
chef Ramsay interrupts me

in the middle my creative
genius explosion.

Come on, come on,
get hot.

It's kind of like
interrupting

a master artist
like Picasso.

Tali's all over
the place.

He doused one side
of the arctic char in mustard.

It tasted dreadful.

Just mustard, mustard, mustard.
Right.

Now he's taken it out
of the sous vide bag.

It's stone-cold.

90 seconds to go,
come on.

Here we go.

20 seconds to go.

It's all coming together.
Trust me.

(Announcer) Each of the
nine remaining home cooks

is rushing to complete the
latest elimination challenge.

I need more salt.

(Gordon) 60 seconds to go, come on.

Start plating, guys.

Oh, my God.

(Gordon)
Tidy those plates.

Get them looking stunning.

Here we go.

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three,

two, one, and stop.

All of you,
hands in the air.

[Applause]

(Gordon)
Wow.

Nine stunning fish dishes,
I hope.

(Christine) Felix's
strategy, I honestly think

she's trying to make it
easy for me

by giving me the salmon.

But... I don't know.

I just really
screwed it up.

(Monti) Felix really wants
me to go down in flames.

But my fish is perfect.

(Gordon) As you know, for one of you,

it's your last 60 minutes

in the Masterchef kitchen.

(Announcer) The judges will
now taste each fish entree,

then the three worst dishes
will be singled out,

and at least one
of those home cooks

will leave the competition.

Let's start off
the girl that dictated

the strength
of this challenge...

Felix with
the Californian Halibut.

(Felix)
I poached the Halibut.

It's served on a bamboo
rice and some asparagus.

The sauce is lemon,
green apple.

I mean, you're playing
to win, right?

So you gotta give
the hard fish

to Becky and to Frank,
knock one of 'em out.

Give an easy fish
to David Martinez.

Something much more forgiving,
like even the char

that you gave to Tali.

So even if they nail it,
doesn't really matter

'cause you know
you can beat 'em.

You had the advantage
for yourself,

and you pick a fish
that's medium to difficult.

Are you here to win?

I'm here to win.

Totally overcooked
the fish.

More importantly,
I don't understand

how you can let an opportunity
like that slide by you.

Um, slightly dry.

So it's not your best.

I think you could've
rose to the top.

Unfortunately,
you're sort of halfway.

At this level now,
there's less than ten of you.

When does it start
getting really serious?

I don't know.

I wanted to challenge
myself with the Halibut.

But I mean, how badly
do you wanna win?

Do you feel good that,
"well, at least

"I challenged myself...
No.

And I made a pretty
crappy Halibut dish."

Thank you.

Monti, bring it up,
please.

(Monti)
I made a filet of John Dory

over a bed of baby asparagus
and a roasted almond sauce.

So Felix gave you
the John Dory.

Um, I don't think Felix
thinks I can cook.

She thinks
I memorize recipes.

The Dory
is perfectly cooked,

with great technique, finesse,
not overcooked, still moist.

Thank you.

She tried to trip you up.
Didn't work.

Sorry, Felix,
but your plan backfired,

because she did
nail it.

And I don't give a [Bleep]
how many books you read.

I just wanna see you
at your best

in this competition
on a daily basis.

Good job.
Thank you.

(Felix) I think that she
got lucky cooking it.

So, good for her.

(Monti) Felix, better luck next time.

(Joe)
Okay, next is Frank.

(Frank) This is an
Indian fried catfish

with eggplant, garam masala,
and a coconut leek sauce.

(Graham) Catfish, freshwater,
you know, it's...

It's almost muddy tasting.
Yeah.

I love the flavors.

I never woulda thought
you could

get that out of catfish.

This is really good.
Good job.

Great.
Thank you.

[Applause]

(Felix)
I gave Frank the catfish.

Because I thought that
it's probably something

that he hadn't really
worked with before.

But, it definitely backfired.

(Gordon)
Becky, let's go, please.

(Becky)
I did a pan fried filet

with celery root puree.

And then I did a sauce
with shallot and chardonnay

and emulsified egg yolks.

I think you and Monti

were dealt the most
dysfunctional cards,

in terms of being given
those fish.

And it's delicious.

I mean, you've nailed
a very difficult fish.

Great finesse,
and it shows.

Yeah, I'm very happy with that.
Great job.

Thank you,
thank you.

(Joe) Next dish we'll
taste is David Martinez.

(Becky)
David talks a big game

and he never, ever
backs it up.

Yellowtail
is kind of a gimme.

It should be a gimme.

(David)
I made deviled tuna steak

with garlic aioli potatoes
and red cabbage coleslaw

with red onion.

(Joe)
It's completely raw.

Yes, sir.

Is that what you wanted?
No, sir.

I thought that it would have
more of a ring around the top.

That's, like, cold from
the ice still in the middle.

You could have simply
drizzled olive oil and

a squirt of lemon on it,
and would have probably

had the most winning dish here.
Yes, sir.

You chose to complicate
this dish.

I hope that fish doesn't
take you down today.

You didn't fully understand
the ingredient obviously.

I mean, you know someone's
leaving today, right?

Is this what
you go home on?

Yeah, I don't know
what else to say.

(Joe)
Okay, Tali.

Hey, chef.

It's a sous vide arctic char
over green lentils.

I wanted to sous vide
my fish today,

so I can kind of
produce a... [shushing]

The name of the show is Masterchef.

Okay.

What do chefs do?

Chefs cook.
Right.

So it's not master orator

or master tell me about what
my intention is about cooking.

It's Masterchef.

You think you're gonna
impress us with

things like sous vide,
emulsify?

No.

So at the end of the day,
what you have here

is basically
destroyed lentils,

'cause I can see
they're all exploded

and overcooked.

You have a bunch
of herb scraps

with no dressing on them.

You got a piece of fatty
nasty looking bacon

on top of some poorly conceived
cooked arctic char.

You've consistently
disappointed us.

Mm-hmm.

(Gordon) The point of sous vide
is to lock in those flavors.

(Tali)
Yes, chef.

And I watched you cook,

and I just get so pissed off
with you [Bleep] around.

You're misinterpreting
the competition.

It's Masterchef,
not masturbate.

There's no flavor,
Tali.

It's badly seasoned.

It's just a mess.

[Plate clatters]

I think the judges
struggled

with understanding my flavors.

Maybe they're just
a little too old-school

and they can't see beauty
and the genius that is my food.

[Sighs] Oh, man. That sucks.

It's Masterchef,
not masturbate.

(Announcer) Just one
more tasting remains.

After which,
at least one home cook

will be leaving
the Masterchef kitchen.

(Gordon) Okay, Christine,
let's go, please.

I cooked salmon with
a panko breadcrumb layer.

It's served with rice and
some stir-fried vegetables.

Mm, wow.

The breadcrumbs are raw.

They're not even crispy,

and everything's dry.

How ironic is this?

We first met you
with a catfish,

and the dish
was mind-blowing,

amazing broth.

We still
talk about it today.

And then this.
It's like

there's two different
Christines.

This dish in front of you

is your worst performance
in this competition.

(Graham)
The salmon is well done.

And it's almost as if
the panko and the salmon

are nearly the same color
all the way through.

And then, of course,
that's served

with this little mound
of white rice next to it.

Sadly, I can easily say

this is the least
visually appealing dish

that you have put up.

And it's too bad.

(Joe) This is really
just kind of sloppy.

It is, like,
cooked through

like it would come
if you bought

salmon in a can,
literally.

The technique's not there,
like, poorly thought out.

You know, I always
thought of you

as kind of being
a smart cook.

And...
I'm not seeing that.

If Felix was trying
to help you,

it's not working.

You may be going home.

(Monti)
I've never seen Christine

do anything that
isn't perfect.

And I'm freaking out
for her,

because I really have
mad respect for that lady.

As you know, this
is an elimination challenge.

At least one of you

will be leaving
Masterchef shortly.

I'm so pissed that
I second-guessed myself.

(Gordon) Interesting.
Christine's was dreadful.

I'm such an idiot.
I'm such an idiot.

(Gordon) And David
Martinez was shocking.

Block of spicy, raw tuna.

Everyone that Felix
picked, like,

the easy ones
to [Bleep] up.

(David)
She's a big ballbuster.

Yeah, whatever, man.

It was good cooking
with you guys.

(Gordon)
Okay.

Before we deliver
the bad news,

here's the good news.

There were two
outstanding highlights.

The second best dish...

And this is a close one.

Congratulations to...

Monti.

What?

(Gordon)
Well done.

Oh, my God.
Thank you.

(Gordon) The dish of
the day belongs to...

Frank.

Great job.

(Frank) I definitely put myself
in the top of the competition.

Stepped out
of the comfort zone and made

the best dish
in the room.

(Gordon) Frank, Monti, both of you

become team captains
in the next challenge.

(Becky)
I'm so disappointed.

And I can't believe that Monti's
dish was better than mine.

(Gordon)
Now for the bad news

it is an elimination test.

And you know at least
one of you

will be leaving
this competition.

The first dish
in the bottom three

showed disrespect,
and in many ways ignorance.

David Martinez, let's go.

(Graham) The next person
used the wrong technique,

the wrong ingredients,
and the wrong flavors.

That person is Tali.

Damn it.

(Joe) And the final person
we need to see down here

has really disappointed me.

Christine.

(Gordon)
Okay.

All three of you
know why you're here.

I wanna stay in this
competition so bad.

But the yellowtail just
threw me for a loop.

I'm so pissed off
right now.

Why don't they see
the genius

that is right in front
of them?

If I go home today,
I'm still...

I should still be really
proud of myself,

and I totally am.

But I'm not here to just
be an inspiration, you know?

I wanna be taken seriously.

Christine,
please step forward.

You shocked us all.

I mean, that was
a big blow for all of us.

Several weeks ago,
you walked into Masterchef,

you blew us away.

You showed that there was
no awkwardness

with the disability.

You sort of nailed
every dish, every challenge,

and you took it
in your strides,

but in a very
inspirational way.

You should
be incredibly proud.

Christine.

Yes, chef?

Your time in Masterchef...

Is not over.

Please step back
to your station.

Thank you, chef.

[Applause]

[Laughs]

I'm really relieved,
but I know

I really need
to step up my game.

Because it's getting down
to the nitty-gritty

and everyone's
really good.

I'm nervous about how
I compare to everyone else.

(Gordon)
David Martinez.

I've never seen
such a big disappointment

in the history
of yellowtail.

Shocking.

It's just a lack of
understanding of the ingredient.

Not excusable
at this level.

All three of us
have had a bellyful.

We get a little bit fed up

with excuse after excuse
after excuse.

Absolutely.

Tali.

We cling on to the hope of
something just blowing us away.

You've done it.

But more wrong than right.

Based on their performance

with one of the most amazing,
stunning jewels of the sea,

the person leaving
Masterchef is...

Tali.

Your time is done in Masterchef.

Put your apron
on your station

and leave
the Masterchef kitchen.

Thank you.

(Tali)
There is a silver lining.

During this competition,
I learned so much.

Whoo!

Taking all the information
from chef Ramsay

and chef Elliot and Joe,

it's priceless.

[Exclamations]

I can't wait to take
all this knowledge

and experience
back to the real world.

(Announcer) Next week
on Masterchef...

It's home cooks
on the range,

as the contestants
rustle up grub

for a posse of cowboys...

Oh, my God.

That's a lot
of freakin' cowboys.

(Announcer)
Egos clash...

We need more sweet potatoes
immediately.

If this fails,
it's on her.

They are big-time bitches.

(Announcer) And
Christine's station...

Fire!

Goes up in flames.

Can you help me?
[Bleep]

Oh, my God.

And when it all comes down
to the pressure test,

it's a heartbreaking
elimination.

[Sobs]
