1
00:00:00,902 --> 00:00:02,506
Previously on "MasterChef"...
2
00:00:02,506 --> 00:00:05,010
- Another mystery box.
- There's just one per region.
3
00:00:05,010 --> 00:00:08,049
- Ooh.
- Jennifer, you get
to choose one region
4
00:00:08,049 --> 00:00:11,657
- that will start
ten minutes later.
- Oh, no.
5
00:00:11,657 --> 00:00:13,260
I am choosing the Midwest.
6
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:14,530
- What the heck, Jen?
- We'll remember this, too.
7
00:00:14,530 --> 00:00:16,366
Let's go, let's go.
What's the dish?
8
00:00:16,366 --> 00:00:18,203
It's butter chicken,
my signature dish.
9
00:00:18,203 --> 00:00:19,540
She can't make a mistake.
10
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:21,677
You are playing this game
at the highest level.
11
00:00:21,677 --> 00:00:23,313
Congratulations, Kennedy.
12
00:00:23,313 --> 00:00:24,683
I feel on top of the world
right now.
13
00:00:24,683 --> 00:00:26,620
Jennifer, I'm underwhelmed.
14
00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:28,290
Sarah, the chicken's dry.
15
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:31,062
Purvi, this is oozing
of raw spice.
16
00:00:31,062 --> 00:00:34,603
But wait, it wouldn't be fair
to send only one
17
00:00:34,603 --> 00:00:37,007
- of the bottom cooks
home tonight.
- This is tough.
18
00:00:37,007 --> 00:00:40,280
Sarah and Purvi,
say good-bye.
19
00:00:42,218 --> 00:00:46,392
Tonight we celebrate
our 250th episode.
20
00:00:46,392 --> 00:00:50,501
I present to you
the United Cakes Of America.
21
00:00:50,501 --> 00:00:54,876
Kennedy, you get decide
who's baking which cake.
22
00:00:54,876 --> 00:00:57,014
He's a great chef, so I'm gonna
screw him over today.
23
00:00:57,014 --> 00:01:00,989
- With nine layers!
- Man, and I thought
we were friends, Kennedy.
24
00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:03,628
- That's a lot of layers.
- I don't (bleep) know
what I'm doing.
25
00:01:03,628 --> 00:01:05,598
- Just change gear.
- Stressing me out up here.
26
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:07,535
- Oh, jeez.
- Between you and I,
you're (bleep).
27
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:10,340
I think Kennedy
might've sent the Midwest
to the guillotine.
28
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:12,311
- Nailed it!
- Kennedy set you up
for success.
29
00:01:12,311 --> 00:01:14,583
- You went rogue.
30
00:01:28,143 --> 00:01:30,480
- This is a big one.
- Big birthday today.
31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,384
- This is a huge birthday.
- Momentous occasion.
32
00:01:32,384 --> 00:01:34,188
- Yes. Congratulations.
- Come on. Congrats, man.
33
00:01:34,188 --> 00:01:35,357
- Congratulations.
- Felicidades.
34
00:01:35,357 --> 00:01:37,127
250th episode.
35
00:01:37,127 --> 00:01:38,229
Congratulations, gentlemen.
36
00:01:38,229 --> 00:01:39,365
It's amazing to think how much
37
00:01:39,365 --> 00:01:40,835
the culinary landscape
in America
38
00:01:40,835 --> 00:01:42,338
has changed over the 13 years.
39
00:01:42,338 --> 00:01:44,342
Extraordinary. Let's get
this party started, shall we?
40
00:01:44,342 --> 00:01:46,112
- Let's do it.
- Come on!
41
00:01:46,112 --> 00:01:47,616
Bring the heat.
42
00:01:50,287 --> 00:01:51,489
That's how you do it.
43
00:01:54,563 --> 00:01:56,533
-
Come on, guys, let's go!
- Hurry up! Hurry up!
44
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,671
- Whoa!
-Let's go! Come on.
45
00:01:58,671 --> 00:02:00,675
- Oh, wow!
- Hey!
46
00:02:00,675 --> 00:02:03,581
- It's somebody's birthday.
- What is that?
47
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:06,854
It feels amazing to be
in the top 15.
48
00:02:06,854 --> 00:02:09,526
Yeah, baby!
All-American cakes!
49
00:02:09,526 --> 00:02:12,431
I see this huge table of cake
with sparkles, and I think,
50
00:02:12,431 --> 00:02:13,834
"They're throwing us a party."
51
00:02:13,834 --> 00:02:16,172
But something tells me
52
00:02:16,172 --> 00:02:17,542
that it's not gonna be
that simple.
53
00:02:17,542 --> 00:02:20,113
- Wow.
- Oh, my goodness me.
54
00:02:20,113 --> 00:02:21,482
So good to see you all.
Welcome back.
55
00:02:21,482 --> 00:02:26,159
Tonight is the 250th episode
of "MasterChef."
56
00:02:30,668 --> 00:02:34,141
Now, as we all know,
every great celebration
calls for cake, right?
57
00:02:34,141 --> 00:02:36,279
- Right.
- You know it.
58
00:02:36,279 --> 00:02:37,949
Aarón:
And we go big here
on "MasterChef."
59
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:42,157
- One cake is never enough.
60
00:02:42,157 --> 00:02:44,796
- What is going on?
- Oh, no.
61
00:02:44,796 --> 00:02:46,900
I present to you...
62
00:02:49,305 --> 00:02:52,378
- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh!
63
00:02:52,378 --> 00:02:53,380
Yes!
64
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:55,317
...the United Cakes Of America.
65
00:02:55,317 --> 00:02:59,492
- Yeah!
- All right! Yes!
66
00:02:59,492 --> 00:03:01,295
Now, let me tell you,
the cakes in front of you
67
00:03:01,295 --> 00:03:04,435
are some of the most difficult
cakes to nail
68
00:03:04,435 --> 00:03:07,207
from all four regions
of America.
69
00:03:07,207 --> 00:03:10,247
In fact, there's one on there
with nine layers--
70
00:03:10,247 --> 00:03:13,186
- the Smith Island cake.
- What?
71
00:03:13,186 --> 00:03:16,927
Tonight your challenge
is to exactly replicate
72
00:03:16,927 --> 00:03:19,966
one of these iconic cakes.
73
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:21,937
This is, by far,
74
00:03:21,937 --> 00:03:25,545
your hardest challenge
in the competition to date.
75
00:03:25,545 --> 00:03:26,747
Aw, man.
76
00:03:26,747 --> 00:03:28,483
I'm trying to keep my Zen
77
00:03:28,483 --> 00:03:31,489
thinking about how we're gonna
have to replicate these cakes.
78
00:03:31,489 --> 00:03:33,493
I see some cakes
that could be fun,
79
00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:35,464
I see some cakes that
might cause me trouble.
80
00:03:35,464 --> 00:03:38,403
And I see some cakes
that I am terrified of.
81
00:03:38,403 --> 00:03:42,177
Tonight you guys don't get
to pick your cake.
82
00:03:42,177 --> 00:03:43,413
- Aw, really?
- Shocker.
83
00:03:43,413 --> 00:03:45,250
This challenge
needs some layers.
84
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:49,358
Kennedy, as the winner
of the immunity pin,
85
00:03:49,358 --> 00:03:53,634
you get to decide
who's baking which cake.
86
00:03:53,634 --> 00:03:57,609
- Make your way down, please.
- Let's go, Kennedy!
87
00:03:57,609 --> 00:04:00,046
Having this power
is absolutely everything.
88
00:04:00,046 --> 00:04:02,484
It's one of the hardest
challenges of the whole season,
89
00:04:02,484 --> 00:04:05,223
and those choices
could literally determine
who goes home.
90
00:04:05,223 --> 00:04:06,660
I mean,
handing out a tough cake
91
00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:09,566
to someone who's not a baker
is a savage move,
92
00:04:09,566 --> 00:04:11,269
but sometimes you have
to be a savage person.
93
00:04:11,269 --> 00:04:14,943
Kennedy, let's start
with your home region,
94
00:04:14,943 --> 00:04:16,680
the West.
95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,553
I'm gonna give MD something
I know she's familiar with.
96
00:04:19,553 --> 00:04:21,422
I know she likes island flavors,
97
00:04:21,422 --> 00:04:23,359
so I'm gonna give her
the key lime pie.
98
00:04:23,359 --> 00:04:24,529
-Key lime pie, wow.
- Wow.
99
00:04:24,529 --> 00:04:29,004
- An easy one.
- I love her.
100
00:04:29,004 --> 00:04:31,476
Okay, next up, Lizzie.
101
00:04:31,476 --> 00:04:33,681
I know she can bake,
and I really want her to shine.
102
00:04:33,681 --> 00:04:36,419
I'm gonna give her
this marionberry cake.
103
00:04:36,419 --> 00:04:38,724
-Off we go.
-For the West,
104
00:04:38,724 --> 00:04:40,728
I really wanna assign them
something to get them by.
105
00:04:40,728 --> 00:04:43,567
James with
the ooey gooey butter cake.
106
00:04:43,567 --> 00:04:47,542
- Certainly one of the easiest.
- Good luck, y'all.
107
00:04:47,542 --> 00:04:51,315
Moving onto the Midwest,
Wayne, please.
108
00:04:51,315 --> 00:04:53,286
Um, I'm gonna give him
109
00:04:53,286 --> 00:04:54,455
this nine layer cake today.
110
00:04:54,455 --> 00:04:57,294
- Oh!
- There it is!
111
00:04:57,294 --> 00:04:59,599
It should be a piece of cake.
112
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,471
- Thank you, Kennedy.
- You're welcome.
113
00:05:02,471 --> 00:05:05,177
Kennedy absolutely sees me as
one of the biggest threats here.
114
00:05:05,177 --> 00:05:07,849
Otherwise,
she never would've given me
the hardest cake to cook.
115
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:12,926
But this nine layer monstrosity
has me a little worried
116
00:05:12,926 --> 00:05:15,297
because I'm not a baker at all.
117
00:05:15,297 --> 00:05:17,769
- That could be a direct hit.
-Yeah.
118
00:05:17,769 --> 00:05:20,106
Okay, what's it gonna be
for Kyle?
119
00:05:20,106 --> 00:05:22,679
He's definitely
someone to look out for
in the competition,
120
00:05:22,679 --> 00:05:25,818
- so I'm gonna
screw him over today.
- Nice!
121
00:05:25,818 --> 00:05:28,323
I'm gonna give him
the Meyer lemon cake.
122
00:05:28,323 --> 00:05:29,826
Wow, tough one.
123
00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:33,734
- Okay, I've got this.
-Much love.
124
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:36,205
- I hope so.
- I hope so, too, Joe.
125
00:05:36,205 --> 00:05:39,813
So this challenge,
I'm kind of targeting
the Midwest and the South.
126
00:05:39,813 --> 00:05:41,517
Banana split cake
for Jennifer.
127
00:05:41,517 --> 00:05:44,756
Kolby has the apple stack.
That is a tough one.
128
00:05:44,756 --> 00:05:48,096
Strategically, the smartest move
is to give some hard ones out
129
00:05:48,096 --> 00:05:49,599
to the strongest regions.
130
00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:52,304
I'm gonna give Kendal
the Boston cream pie.
131
00:05:52,304 --> 00:05:54,776
Man, and I thought
we were friends, Kennedy.
132
00:05:54,776 --> 00:05:57,314
Right,
that leaves the Northeast.
133
00:05:57,314 --> 00:06:02,357
- What we thinking, Kennedy?
- For Brynn, I'm gonna give her
the red velvet cake.
134
00:06:02,357 --> 00:06:04,696
- Yes.
- Wow, an easy one.
135
00:06:04,696 --> 00:06:06,800
- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.
136
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,940
Which leaves Nina
with a German chocolate cake.
137
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:13,747
Not bad. Okay.
138
00:06:13,747 --> 00:06:16,520
Kennedy, some very strategic
picks there.
139
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,628
- Great job.
Head on back upstairs.
- Good job, honey!
140
00:06:23,534 --> 00:06:24,736
Right, here's the good news.
141
00:06:24,736 --> 00:06:27,642
Tonight you've all
got 90 minutes
142
00:06:27,642 --> 00:06:31,148
to replicate the cake
that Kennedy chose for you.
143
00:06:31,148 --> 00:06:34,488
Remember, 'cause your final cake
should look and taste identical
144
00:06:34,488 --> 00:06:35,925
to the cake in front of you.
145
00:06:35,925 --> 00:06:38,998
Whoever bakes
the best replication
146
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:42,672
will earn the immunity pin,
147
00:06:42,672 --> 00:06:45,544
and be safe from elimination
in the next challenge
148
00:06:45,544 --> 00:06:50,755
and save their entire region
from elimination tonight.
149
00:06:50,755 --> 00:06:54,428
But if you cook the worst cake
of the night,
150
00:06:54,428 --> 00:06:56,132
you will be eliminated.
151
00:06:56,132 --> 00:06:58,604
Right, the very best of luck.
152
00:06:58,604 --> 00:07:02,444
Your 90 minutes start now.
153
00:07:02,444 --> 00:07:05,551
- Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
154
00:07:05,551 --> 00:07:08,724
- Let's get it!
155
00:07:09,659 --> 00:07:13,366
- Is there sugar?
- All right.
156
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,036
All right, let's do this.
157
00:07:15,036 --> 00:07:17,341
Coconut extract, where you at?
158
00:07:17,341 --> 00:07:21,215
Better make sure
I know what it tastes like
before I freaking make it.
159
00:07:21,215 --> 00:07:25,591
I'm excited about cakes
because it's something
that's familiar to me.
160
00:07:25,591 --> 00:07:27,528
I own a donut shop.
161
00:07:27,528 --> 00:07:29,633
Dessert, it's my thing,
162
00:07:29,633 --> 00:07:31,737
and I'm confident
I can pull it off.
163
00:07:32,805 --> 00:07:34,509
Oh, man, that's beautiful.
164
00:07:34,509 --> 00:07:37,715
So there's a lot of buttercream
in each layer.
165
00:07:37,715 --> 00:07:40,655
Ooh, cinnamon. Okay,
that's where the swirl comes in.
166
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:43,426
Here we go, here we go,
here we go, here we go.
167
00:07:43,426 --> 00:07:45,564
It's gonna take me 90 minutes
to cut through this cake.
168
00:07:45,564 --> 00:07:47,034
There it comes. Okay.
169
00:07:47,034 --> 00:07:49,939
Whoo! Look at those layers.
Holy smokes.
170
00:07:53,479 --> 00:07:55,551
All right,
let's do this, South!
171
00:07:55,551 --> 00:07:56,953
I am making a banana split cake.
172
00:07:56,953 --> 00:07:59,759
It is a very popular dessert
in my house for my kids,
173
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,763
so I'm very excited
about pulling this together.
174
00:08:01,763 --> 00:08:03,399
I was on the bottom three
last week.
175
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,671
That's not okay for me.
I'm here to win.
176
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,581
Okay, you. No splashing.
177
00:08:10,581 --> 00:08:13,386
Okay. There we go.
178
00:08:13,386 --> 00:08:17,662
Tonight we're looking
for exact replication
of these iconic desserts.
179
00:08:17,662 --> 00:08:19,999
We're not asking them
to imitate just the aesthetics,
180
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:22,505
also the flavor profile,
the density.
181
00:08:24,041 --> 00:08:26,613
- It has to accurate. Yeah.
- But it's chemistry, right?
182
00:08:26,613 --> 00:08:30,955
Okay, we need to
be down to the exact gram.
183
00:08:30,955 --> 00:08:33,126
15 minutes gone.
184
00:08:33,126 --> 00:08:35,631
75 minutes remaining.
185
00:08:38,804 --> 00:08:41,643
Last one. Kennedy gave me
the apple stack cake.
186
00:08:41,643 --> 00:08:43,680
It's not an easy cake
by any means.
187
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,318
I'm mostly worried about
the structure of the cake.
188
00:08:46,318 --> 00:08:48,590
As you can see,
there's no icing
to keep it all in,
189
00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:51,128
and if I get it wrong,
it'll be very obvious.
190
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,638
Am I just making a mess? Ha-ha.
191
00:08:55,638 --> 00:08:57,742
And then you-- ouch.
192
00:08:57,742 --> 00:08:59,546
That crust looks beautiful, MD.
193
00:08:59,546 --> 00:09:00,815
Thank you, love!
194
00:09:00,815 --> 00:09:03,921
All right,
in the oven you are.
195
00:09:03,921 --> 00:09:06,325
MD, how are you doing?
196
00:09:06,325 --> 00:09:08,864
- I'm great. How are you?
- I mean, come on, key lime pie.
197
00:09:08,864 --> 00:09:11,435
- Key lime pie.
- Be honest, you've got one
of the easiest here.
198
00:09:11,435 --> 00:09:15,343
- Yes, Chef.
- Now you've got a big affinity
to baking of course...
199
00:09:15,343 --> 00:09:17,314
- Yes, I love dessert.
- ...with the phenomenal success
200
00:09:17,314 --> 00:09:18,984
- with the donuts
back home in Hawaii.
- That's right.
201
00:09:18,984 --> 00:09:20,654
You've got every chance
if you nail this,
202
00:09:20,654 --> 00:09:22,190
of getting yourself
an immunity pin.
203
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:23,594
What would that mean for you?
204
00:09:23,594 --> 00:09:25,363
I've been kind of
in the middle lately,
205
00:09:25,363 --> 00:09:27,969
so I'm kind of ready to go
up there and say hi to you.
206
00:09:27,969 --> 00:09:31,208
Make sure that base
is ice cold before you put
that filling on there.
207
00:09:31,208 --> 00:09:32,244
Yes, Chef.
208
00:09:34,916 --> 00:09:38,624
- Going in.
- All right.
209
00:09:38,624 --> 00:09:40,093
We should be getting cakes
in the oven, y'all.
210
00:09:40,093 --> 00:09:41,730
There we go.
211
00:09:42,899 --> 00:09:45,571
Okay, Wayne, Wayne,
Wayne, Wayne.
212
00:09:45,571 --> 00:09:49,846
There's not one person
in this room tonight that
does not feel sorry for you.
213
00:09:49,846 --> 00:09:51,382
- Let's do this together.
- I know.
214
00:09:51,382 --> 00:09:53,019
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.
215
00:09:53,019 --> 00:09:56,726
Yeah, I'm feeling it.
Trust me, I'm feeling it 100%.
216
00:09:56,726 --> 00:09:58,997
But the ganache and the sheen
of chocolate at the end.
217
00:09:58,997 --> 00:10:00,734
Yeah, I got my work
cut out for me for sure.
218
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:02,872
Let's be honest,
between you and I,
219
00:10:02,872 --> 00:10:05,076
- you're (bleep).
- No way.
220
00:10:05,076 --> 00:10:07,849
No, this is gonna happen
one way or another.
221
00:10:07,849 --> 00:10:10,120
- You need to be
absolutely spot on.
- Yes, sir, yep.
222
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,424
- I'm gonna let you focus.
Nine layers.
- Yes.
223
00:10:12,424 --> 00:10:15,230
- Get those batters
in the oven.
- Thank you, Chef.
224
00:10:17,635 --> 00:10:19,772
Going in the oven.
225
00:10:22,043 --> 00:10:24,816
- All right.
-Now, all of you,
listen up.
226
00:10:24,816 --> 00:10:28,857
Those batters should be
in the oven by now.
227
00:10:29,826 --> 00:10:31,630
Damn it.
This one's thick.
228
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:33,399
I'm already getting stressed
229
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:34,936
because I just got
a major setback.
230
00:10:35,805 --> 00:10:39,144
I think this batter's so thick.
231
00:10:39,144 --> 00:10:41,115
Wayne's butter
doesn't look very smooth.
232
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:43,352
This is not spreading.
233
00:10:44,789 --> 00:10:46,091
I've gotta get those cakes
in the oven
234
00:10:46,091 --> 00:10:48,062
and I've gotta move on
to that buttercream,
235
00:10:48,062 --> 00:10:49,933
otherwise I could be
going home today.
236
00:10:49,933 --> 00:10:52,370
Damn it.
This batter's way too thick.
237
00:10:54,241 --> 00:10:56,780
Nine layers is insane!
238
00:11:06,933 --> 00:11:08,904
64 minutes to go.
Come on, guys.
239
00:11:08,904 --> 00:11:10,941
Nine layers is insane!
240
00:11:10,941 --> 00:11:12,645
Tonight we're looking
for exact replication,
241
00:11:12,645 --> 00:11:14,816
not just on the outside,
but on the inside as well.
242
00:11:14,816 --> 00:11:17,087
- Aesthetic and flavor.
- Absolutely.
243
00:11:17,087 --> 00:11:19,659
- How you doing?
-All the cakes should
be in the oven by now,
244
00:11:19,659 --> 00:11:21,428
otherwise there's gonna be
no decoration.
245
00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:22,665
- Aarón: Yeah.
-For sure.
246
00:11:22,665 --> 00:11:24,034
Wayne, for instance,
247
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:25,938
just the batter alone
in nine cake tins.
248
00:11:25,938 --> 00:11:28,877
Then you gotta take them out
and cool down those sponges
249
00:11:28,877 --> 00:11:30,313
before you start the assembly.
250
00:11:30,313 --> 00:11:31,917
- He's in trouble.
- Yep.
251
00:11:31,917 --> 00:11:34,254
That's as close
as it's gonna get.
252
00:11:36,893 --> 00:11:38,897
You're not using the mixer,
Nina?
253
00:11:38,897 --> 00:11:41,101
- No, man.
Arms never get tired.
- Hell yeah!
254
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:44,074
Why isn't this melty
in the way I want it to?
255
00:11:44,074 --> 00:11:45,945
This buttercream
is actually good.
256
00:11:45,945 --> 00:11:47,915
- Hello. Good!
- Hi, Brynn, how are you?
257
00:11:47,915 --> 00:11:50,988
Hello. Red velvet, three layers.
Was Kennedy kind to you?
258
00:11:50,988 --> 00:11:52,692
I think Kennedy
was kind to me.
259
00:11:52,692 --> 00:11:54,094
I don't know if was being
a little strategic
260
00:11:54,094 --> 00:11:55,698
and then just being nice
to the Northeast at the end.
261
00:11:55,698 --> 00:11:57,467
There's only two left
in the Northeast.
262
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,004
- What are you gonna
do to us, you know?
- I don't know.
263
00:11:59,004 --> 00:12:01,108
Have you ever made
a red velvet cake before?
264
00:12:01,108 --> 00:12:02,878
I've always made
the red velvet cupcake.
265
00:12:02,878 --> 00:12:04,649
- I haven't done it as a cake.
- This is a cake.
266
00:12:04,649 --> 00:12:07,020
This kind of changes--
makes it a little bit
more complicated
267
00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:09,124
- 'Cause you're doing
architecture, structure.
- For sure.
268
00:12:09,124 --> 00:12:11,930
Don't over-whip your frosting.
It becomes grainy, okay?
269
00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:13,366
- Thank you.
- Please.
270
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:15,036
- All right, Nina.
- Hi.
271
00:12:15,036 --> 00:12:17,875
- What are you making?
- Hello, German chocolate cake.
272
00:12:17,875 --> 00:12:20,113
Did you know about
German chocolate cake?
273
00:12:20,113 --> 00:12:21,950
- Well, I am more than
half German, so...
- Aarón: There you go.
274
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:23,954
What makes a German
chocolate cake unique?
275
00:12:23,954 --> 00:12:26,927
I think it's gotta be the pecans
and the coconut mixture
276
00:12:26,927 --> 00:12:29,732
- along with the chocolate.
- It has to be balance.
277
00:12:29,732 --> 00:12:31,937
Yes, there's a lot of stuff
going on in there.
278
00:12:31,937 --> 00:12:33,740
Or it could be a flavor bomb
in a bad way.
279
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:35,778
Have you ever baked
this cake before?
280
00:12:35,778 --> 00:12:37,314
- Maybe once.
- Maybe once.
281
00:12:37,314 --> 00:12:39,686
Certainly not something
I've done a lot of.
282
00:12:39,686 --> 00:12:41,388
Well, as they say
in the Rhineland...
283
00:12:43,059 --> 00:12:46,298
- That means, "Go faster."
- Oh, does it? Okay?
284
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:49,572
Brynn and I
are the last two people
standing at the Northeast,
285
00:12:49,572 --> 00:12:52,043
which means that one of us
will have to be in the top,
286
00:12:52,043 --> 00:12:54,047
one of us will have
to be in the bottom.
287
00:12:54,047 --> 00:12:57,722
But if we win, one of us
can really save the other one.
288
00:12:57,722 --> 00:12:58,924
That gives me
even more motivation
289
00:12:58,924 --> 00:13:00,794
to try to do even better.
290
00:13:00,794 --> 00:13:03,199
We definitely wanna get
that immunity pin.
291
00:13:05,336 --> 00:13:07,040
Nine! Whew.
292
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,344
Okay, that was not easy.
293
00:13:11,115 --> 00:13:13,019
Oh, my gosh.
294
00:13:17,928 --> 00:13:19,364
- Lizzie.
- Yes, Chef?
295
00:13:19,364 --> 00:13:21,168
Have you ever baked a cake
like this before?
296
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:24,308
- Not a marionberry cake.
- Do you bake much at home?
297
00:13:24,308 --> 00:13:26,278
I do. I bake a lot.
But I mainly make macarons.
298
00:13:26,278 --> 00:13:28,517
Right.
Sponge is in the oven, right?
299
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:31,088
- Yes.
- Just a quick look.
300
00:13:31,088 --> 00:13:33,994
So, yep.
Why are they uneven like that?
301
00:13:33,994 --> 00:13:36,065
- Because I did not measure.
- Oh, jeez.
302
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:37,968
- So one's gonna
cook first, before?
- Yes.
303
00:13:37,968 --> 00:13:39,839
You know, you shake them,
you can see they're still raw.
304
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:42,143
That one's still incredibly raw.
305
00:13:42,143 --> 00:13:44,582
So already you've sort of made
your life so much harder now
306
00:13:44,582 --> 00:13:45,951
to get that thing even, yeah?
307
00:13:45,951 --> 00:13:47,220
And that one
on the right-hand side
308
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:48,857
- is gonna come out first.
- Okay.
309
00:13:48,857 --> 00:13:51,128
- Yeah? Good luck.
- Thank you.
310
00:13:52,631 --> 00:13:55,904
45 minutes to go.
311
00:13:55,904 --> 00:13:57,908
Guys, gotta get those
cakes out of the oven now.
312
00:13:57,908 --> 00:14:00,380
I just don't think they're done.
313
00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:04,922
- Ooh!
- That's lots of apples, Kolby.
314
00:14:04,922 --> 00:14:08,095
This apple stack cake,
it's definitely something
in my wheelhouse.
315
00:14:08,095 --> 00:14:11,101
My 93-year-old Pawpaw makes
apple pies all the time,
316
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:12,337
so this is another one
of those dishes
317
00:14:12,337 --> 00:14:14,374
that he's kind of taught me
how to make.
318
00:14:14,374 --> 00:14:17,848
- What's going on, Chef?
-Oh, wow,
this apple stack cake.
319
00:14:17,848 --> 00:14:19,151
How many stacks we have?
Count 'em, Aarón.
320
00:14:19,151 --> 00:14:21,255
-It's six.
- Six stacks.
321
00:14:21,255 --> 00:14:23,225
It's certainly
a little complicated
322
00:14:23,225 --> 00:14:24,529
in its composition,
I would say.
323
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:25,931
- Yes, sir.
- Try the apple,
324
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:27,133
because that
really kind of tells you
325
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:28,603
everything about
what you're doing now.
326
00:14:28,603 --> 00:14:29,972
- Okay.
- See?
327
00:14:29,972 --> 00:14:31,442
So it's soft,
but it's still firm.
328
00:14:31,442 --> 00:14:32,945
Why Joe is mentioning that
329
00:14:32,945 --> 00:14:34,381
is because it's gonna
reinforce all the layers.
330
00:14:34,381 --> 00:14:35,951
Right, it'll keep it
from falling over.
331
00:14:35,951 --> 00:14:37,955
Yeah, if it's too soft,
it's gonna slide.
332
00:14:37,955 --> 00:14:41,596
- So you gotta be smart on how
you cook those apples, okay?
- Yes, sir.
333
00:14:41,596 --> 00:14:43,032
-Good luck, Kolby.
- I gotcha.
334
00:14:43,032 --> 00:14:46,171
Please set. Come on.
I need that to cool.
335
00:14:46,171 --> 00:14:48,643
- I need that to cool.
- Yes. God, I love that.
336
00:14:48,643 --> 00:14:52,383
Oh, man, I'm feeling like
I'm buried in cake right now.
337
00:14:52,383 --> 00:14:54,522
That's a lot of pans
on Wayne's station.
338
00:14:57,427 --> 00:15:00,433
Kyle, Meyer lemon cake.
Come on, look at it.
339
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:03,507
I mean, it is literally
like a sculpture.
340
00:15:03,507 --> 00:15:04,842
What are you worried about?
341
00:15:04,842 --> 00:15:06,145
I think looking
that professional.
342
00:15:06,145 --> 00:15:08,115
I'm actually more worried
about the outside
343
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:10,219
with the beautiful piping,
the lemons, and the mint.
344
00:15:10,219 --> 00:15:13,894
Honestly,
so you need to be
so accurate on that front.
345
00:15:13,894 --> 00:15:15,831
Yeah.
I'm trying to keep Zen here.
346
00:15:15,831 --> 00:15:17,835
- This isn't necessarily
my wheelhouse.
- What does it say about Kennedy
347
00:15:17,835 --> 00:15:19,872
putting that target
on your back like that?
What does that mean?
348
00:15:19,872 --> 00:15:21,910
I think it's evident
in the last couple weeks
349
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:23,412
people starting to be afraid
of the Midwest.
350
00:15:23,412 --> 00:15:27,420
- Yeah. Okay, good luck.
- I got cakes.
351
00:15:28,924 --> 00:15:30,293
Did your cake turn out, Lizzie?
352
00:15:30,293 --> 00:15:33,132
-
This one did, yeah.
- Uh-oh.
353
00:15:33,132 --> 00:15:35,136
It's taking so long to cool.
354
00:15:35,136 --> 00:15:39,111
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Ugh, I hate waiting.
355
00:15:39,111 --> 00:15:43,319
We have 30 minutes remaining.
356
00:15:43,319 --> 00:15:45,490
The last half hour should be
all dedicated towards
357
00:15:45,490 --> 00:15:47,962
the finishing and the finesse
of getting these cakes.
358
00:15:47,962 --> 00:15:50,233
For the West, I'm seriously
worried for Lizzie.
359
00:15:50,233 --> 00:15:53,372
- All righty.
- She's got a marionberry cake.
360
00:15:53,372 --> 00:15:55,009
- How many layers
in the berry cake?
- Four.
361
00:15:55,009 --> 00:15:57,080
I know Lizzie has a history
in baking,
362
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,886
but right now,
even with 30 minutes to go,
363
00:15:59,886 --> 00:16:01,255
they're still not
out of the oven.
364
00:16:01,255 --> 00:16:03,125
And they have to cool down
before she puts
365
00:16:03,125 --> 00:16:04,461
any of that berry frosting
in there.
366
00:16:04,461 --> 00:16:06,265
I just need
a reminder in three minutes
367
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:08,169
to pull out the other cake.
368
00:16:08,169 --> 00:16:10,941
- Three minutes?
- Yeah.
369
00:16:10,941 --> 00:16:13,479
- You good over there, Sav?
- I'm good.
370
00:16:13,479 --> 00:16:16,318
Let's go. Right.
Kendal, how are you feeling?
371
00:16:16,318 --> 00:16:18,389
Uh, I think my cakes
are cooked properly.
372
00:16:18,389 --> 00:16:19,992
One of the easiest ones
tonight, right?
373
00:16:19,992 --> 00:16:21,128
It's one of the easier ones.
374
00:16:21,128 --> 00:16:23,165
A Boston cream pie.
375
00:16:23,165 --> 00:16:25,069
Out of Boston. That's about
all I know about it.
376
00:16:25,069 --> 00:16:26,739
But it still
doesn't change the fact
377
00:16:26,739 --> 00:16:28,042
that I've not cooked
this cake before
378
00:16:28,042 --> 00:16:29,712
and never made a cake like this.
379
00:16:29,712 --> 00:16:31,215
I'm a little bit concerned.
380
00:16:31,215 --> 00:16:33,452
You need to start getting
this thing decorated.
381
00:16:33,452 --> 00:16:34,989
What have you made there?
What's in the center?
382
00:16:34,989 --> 00:16:36,893
What's in the middle of this?
383
00:16:36,893 --> 00:16:39,297
Well, it was supposed
to be this cream that
I just messed up here.
384
00:16:39,297 --> 00:16:41,101
Careful, careful, careful.
It's all coming out at the side.
385
00:16:41,101 --> 00:16:43,472
I just royally
that up.
386
00:16:43,472 --> 00:16:45,142
All kinds of (bleep).
387
00:16:45,142 --> 00:16:46,746
Damn. Damn, damn, damn.
388
00:16:46,746 --> 00:16:49,050
- Here, take that.
Take this, friend.
- Damn.
389
00:16:50,521 --> 00:16:53,325
It's not thick enough.
This is a disaster.
390
00:16:53,325 --> 00:16:55,496
That's never gonna set
in the middle
of the cake is it?
391
00:16:55,496 --> 00:16:58,202
- I agree.
No, sir, it's too runny.
- Way too runny.
392
00:16:58,202 --> 00:17:01,208
- So you still got time
to start that again.
- Yes, sir.
393
00:17:01,208 --> 00:17:04,281
I'm in a full blown panic
like a deer in the headlights.
394
00:17:04,281 --> 00:17:08,055
- So he's restarting his cream?
- Oh, (bleep).
395
00:17:08,055 --> 00:17:10,794
I don't want to be the first
to go home in the South,
396
00:17:10,794 --> 00:17:15,036
but if I don't get
the Boston cream right
on a Boston cream pie,
397
00:17:15,036 --> 00:17:18,008
then the whole thing's
over with.
398
00:17:18,008 --> 00:17:20,681
I'm so (bleep) over
this (bleep) damn thing.
399
00:17:31,502 --> 00:17:33,372
Just over 20 minutes to go
400
00:17:33,372 --> 00:17:36,078
to replicate
that stunning dessert!
401
00:17:36,078 --> 00:17:37,748
You've got to start
decorating, guys.
402
00:17:37,748 --> 00:17:40,520
Wow, it's a lot of layers.
403
00:17:41,388 --> 00:17:43,593
I don't know what I'm doing.
404
00:17:43,593 --> 00:17:46,031
Come on, let's go.
405
00:17:46,031 --> 00:17:49,404
Are you gonna have time
to cool your cake
before you decorate it?
406
00:17:49,404 --> 00:17:51,275
I think I'm gonna make it.
I'm gonna make it.
407
00:17:51,275 --> 00:17:54,047
You're stressing me out up here.
408
00:17:54,047 --> 00:17:56,051
How difficult are the skills--
409
00:17:56,051 --> 00:17:58,924
- piping, frosting,
using a palette?
- Very.
410
00:17:58,924 --> 00:18:01,328
Before you start
building them, you need to
make sure they're level.
411
00:18:01,328 --> 00:18:04,034
Any little ridges, anything that
needs to come off the top,
412
00:18:04,034 --> 00:18:06,539
is a sort of
architectural nightmare.
413
00:18:06,539 --> 00:18:10,614
And the more layers you have,
the more jeopardy you've got.
414
00:18:10,614 --> 00:18:13,118
- Apples are perfect.
-Kolby's from the South.
415
00:18:13,118 --> 00:18:15,389
He's making apple stack cake.
Six layers.
416
00:18:15,389 --> 00:18:19,632
It's all about the assembly.
You have to cook the apples
at a perfect temperature
417
00:18:19,632 --> 00:18:21,869
to make sure that they can
stand up to the layers of cake.
418
00:18:21,869 --> 00:18:24,508
All right.
They look good, they look good.
419
00:18:26,244 --> 00:18:28,917
To the Midwest,
I think Kennedy might have
420
00:18:28,917 --> 00:18:32,223
- sent Wayne to the guillotine.
-A nine layer cake.
421
00:18:32,223 --> 00:18:34,862
He needs to
really buckle down.
422
00:18:34,862 --> 00:18:36,398
The center filling
with the ganache,
423
00:18:36,398 --> 00:18:39,170
and the outside,
the sheen, super important.
424
00:18:39,170 --> 00:18:42,611
- Time's not his friend.
- This is insane.
425
00:18:48,222 --> 00:18:50,727
Kyle still hasn't
started assembling his cake.
426
00:18:50,727 --> 00:18:52,296
Oh, God.
427
00:18:52,296 --> 00:18:54,334
Kyle, from the Midwest,
428
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:56,305
he's got that delicious
Meyer lemon cake.
429
00:18:56,305 --> 00:18:58,242
- Beautiful cake.
- It is a beautiful cake.
430
00:18:58,242 --> 00:19:00,379
Aarón: There's a lot
of garnishing that needs to
happen on Kyle's cake.
431
00:19:00,379 --> 00:19:02,150
- He's struggling.
-He's struggling?
432
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:03,185
He is abs--
he is struggling.
433
00:19:03,185 --> 00:19:05,389
It's a little curdy.
434
00:19:05,389 --> 00:19:07,260
My buttercream seems thin.
435
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:09,565
- And I'm worried about him
436
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:11,335
not understanding
the techniques.
437
00:19:11,335 --> 00:19:12,838
He's very loose
with his cooking.
438
00:19:12,838 --> 00:19:14,307
Damn it.
439
00:19:14,307 --> 00:19:16,144
Slightly frantic,
a little bit out of control.
440
00:19:16,144 --> 00:19:20,286
Oh, jeez.
This is not going well.
441
00:19:20,286 --> 00:19:22,691
My vanilla buttercream,
it's not coming together.
442
00:19:22,691 --> 00:19:27,200
It's just this liquid,
gross, granular frosting.
443
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,972
That's okay.
Just be (bleep) smart.
Gotta be (bleep) smart.
444
00:19:29,972 --> 00:19:34,247
I know that my recipe
doesn't have cream cheese,
but I'm concerned about time.
445
00:19:34,247 --> 00:19:37,186
I need something on this cake
446
00:19:37,186 --> 00:19:38,556
that's gonna help
give it some structure.
447
00:19:38,556 --> 00:19:41,696
Look at that.
What in the hell is Kyle doing?
448
00:19:41,696 --> 00:19:44,568
- He's just added cream cheese.
- Oh!
449
00:19:44,568 --> 00:19:47,875
Meyer lemon cake
does not call for cream cheese.
450
00:19:47,875 --> 00:19:49,310
Dear, oh, dear.
451
00:19:52,584 --> 00:19:55,189
- Okay.
- How you feeling, Nina?
You still good?
452
00:19:55,189 --> 00:19:58,195
It's gonna be a little tight
with the decorating.
453
00:19:58,195 --> 00:20:00,332
On the Northeast,
now Nina, she has, uh--
454
00:20:00,332 --> 00:20:02,203
- German chocolate cake.
- Yep.
455
00:20:02,203 --> 00:20:04,709
- Very dense. Very rich.
- Very rich.
456
00:20:04,709 --> 00:20:07,346
Aarón: The key to Nina's cake
is gonna be layering.
457
00:20:07,346 --> 00:20:08,717
You can't put
too much of the frosting
458
00:20:08,717 --> 00:20:10,352
or it's gonna
completely overpower
459
00:20:10,352 --> 00:20:11,723
all the other elements.
460
00:20:11,723 --> 00:20:13,560
100%.
461
00:20:15,262 --> 00:20:18,135
-How you doing, MD?
- I'm good. I'm just--
462
00:20:18,135 --> 00:20:20,640
- Just waiting?
- Waiting. It needs to
be cool all the way.
463
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,212
You gonna be able
to decorate it in six minutes?
464
00:20:23,212 --> 00:20:24,380
- Yeah.
- Okay.
465
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:27,353
Just doing a little bit more.
466
00:20:27,353 --> 00:20:29,491
Keep going, Kendal.
You got six minutes.
467
00:20:29,491 --> 00:20:31,495
It's (bleep) impossible.
468
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:36,739
Kyle hasn't even
started icing his cake yet.
469
00:20:38,977 --> 00:20:40,680
My hand is slippery.
470
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,586
Guys, five minutes to go.
471
00:20:43,586 --> 00:20:48,328
- I need everybody's cake
on the stand, please.
472
00:20:49,598 --> 00:20:50,801
Okay.
473
00:20:50,801 --> 00:20:53,773
You got this, man.
474
00:20:53,773 --> 00:20:57,213
Perfect drip, Jennifer.
That looks amazing.
475
00:20:57,213 --> 00:20:58,449
, man.
476
00:20:58,449 --> 00:21:01,288
Just a little bit more.
Come on.
477
00:21:01,288 --> 00:21:07,601
, this cake is insane.
478
00:21:07,601 --> 00:21:09,003
Last two minutes, guys!
Let's go!
479
00:21:09,003 --> 00:21:11,374
Whew!
480
00:21:11,374 --> 00:21:13,412
Kyle, you gotta change gear.
Just change gear.
481
00:21:13,412 --> 00:21:15,015
Yes, don't worry about
the frou-frou on top.
482
00:21:15,015 --> 00:21:17,386
Just get this done,
the frosting around the outside.
483
00:21:17,386 --> 00:21:19,525
- Yes, Chef.
- Quick, quick, quick.
484
00:21:19,525 --> 00:21:22,263
- Oh, my God.
485
00:21:22,263 --> 00:21:24,000
My pie is too hot.
486
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,404
Cool down, cool down.
487
00:21:26,404 --> 00:21:31,314
We're coming down
to 60 seconds remaining.
488
00:21:31,314 --> 00:21:32,818
- Last minute!
- Final touches.
489
00:21:32,818 --> 00:21:35,724
- Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, I'm gonna cry.
490
00:21:35,724 --> 00:21:40,432
- This is so hard.
-Ten, nine, eight,
491
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:43,272
seven, six, five,
492
00:21:43,272 --> 00:21:46,679
four, three, two, one.
493
00:21:46,679 --> 00:21:48,315
- Aarón: That's it!
-And stop!
494
00:21:48,315 --> 00:21:50,352
- Hands in the air!
- Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
495
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:53,025
- Dude!
- Good (bleep) job.
496
00:21:53,025 --> 00:21:55,329
Ha, ha, ha! Nailed it!
497
00:21:55,329 --> 00:22:01,074
- I just feel really happy
and relieved.
- Okay, South. Okay, South.
498
00:22:01,074 --> 00:22:04,314
- Good job!
- Good job.
499
00:22:04,314 --> 00:22:07,286
Wow. Holy crap.
500
00:22:07,286 --> 00:22:09,692
Whew.
501
00:22:10,861 --> 00:22:12,831
I'm not sure
I'm gonna win tonight.
502
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:15,670
Oh, my God.
503
00:22:15,670 --> 00:22:18,475
I'm very concerned that
I'm gonna be headed home.
504
00:22:18,475 --> 00:22:20,312
I know that
they are going to see
505
00:22:20,312 --> 00:22:23,352
all of the glaring flaws
in what I did.
506
00:22:23,352 --> 00:22:24,788
I just hope it tastes so good
507
00:22:24,788 --> 00:22:26,959
that I can live
to see another day.
508
00:22:38,683 --> 00:22:41,689
Now all of you
are done completing that
90 minute cake challenge,
509
00:22:41,689 --> 00:22:44,360
which I think has been
one of the most difficult
510
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,534
in the history of 250 episodes.
511
00:22:47,534 --> 00:22:52,310
Now tonight we'll be tasting
the best cake from every region.
512
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:57,386
But first we need to take a much
closer look at all your cakes.
513
00:22:57,386 --> 00:23:00,326
- Let's do it.
- Okay.
514
00:23:00,326 --> 00:23:03,633
Nina, what was
the most challenging part
of this cake for you?
515
00:23:03,633 --> 00:23:05,704
I could've gotten some
of the more decorative bits
516
00:23:05,704 --> 00:23:09,678
to be a little bit smoother,
flatter, nicer.
517
00:23:09,678 --> 00:23:11,816
- Very good.
- Thank you.
518
00:23:13,686 --> 00:23:15,957
- Brynn, so, red velvet cake.
- Yes.
519
00:23:15,957 --> 00:23:18,696
Aarón: Do you think you
lived up to its reputation?
520
00:23:18,696 --> 00:23:21,736
It'll come down
to what the texture is
when you cut it open.
521
00:23:21,736 --> 00:23:23,806
Okay.
522
00:23:26,411 --> 00:23:28,917
- So, Kolby,
the apple stack cake.
- Yes, Chef.
523
00:23:28,917 --> 00:23:32,691
Yes, sir,
I definitely was meticulous
about how I cut the apple,
524
00:23:32,691 --> 00:23:36,632
- so that way
they kind of stacked up.
- Good. Thank you.
525
00:23:38,703 --> 00:23:42,978
I am sure that Kennedy views us,
the South, as a threat.
526
00:23:42,978 --> 00:23:46,819
- It's a hard ratio
to get right.
- Mm-hmm.
527
00:23:46,819 --> 00:23:51,529
We still have all five cooks,
but looking around,
528
00:23:51,529 --> 00:23:54,000
- we got some great cakes...
- Yep.
529
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,939
...and then we got
some not so great cakes.
530
00:23:56,939 --> 00:23:58,977
So you struggled
a bit, huh?
531
00:23:58,977 --> 00:24:02,618
Yes, sir.
I had some real struggles
with the cream.
532
00:24:08,763 --> 00:24:10,600
MD, do you think
you did a good job?
533
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,742
I think I did. It's just once
I piped the cream,
534
00:24:14,742 --> 00:24:17,514
it was just
a little too hot still.
535
00:24:17,514 --> 00:24:19,585
That's a shame.
536
00:24:22,624 --> 00:24:25,563
Wayne, underneath that ganache,
are there nine layers?
537
00:24:25,563 --> 00:24:26,999
Yes, sir.
That was tough.
538
00:24:28,803 --> 00:24:31,709
I'm curious to hear
what the judges have to say,
539
00:24:31,709 --> 00:24:34,147
but I'm also hoping
somebody pulls a fire alarm.
540
00:24:34,147 --> 00:24:35,583
Mm.
541
00:24:35,583 --> 00:24:36,952
This was a hard challenge.
542
00:24:36,952 --> 00:24:38,856
Yeah, thank you.
543
00:24:38,856 --> 00:24:42,798
And I think Kennedy's strategy
sure worked today.
544
00:24:42,798 --> 00:24:46,639
- You think it looks great?
- I think that if you guys
545
00:24:46,639 --> 00:24:49,110
were blind,
I might win tonight,
546
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:50,714
but I know that you're not.
547
00:24:57,026 --> 00:25:00,466
Kennedy, you made some
really ruthless picks tonight,
548
00:25:00,466 --> 00:25:05,075
and now we're gonna see
if the ramifications
from those picks paid off.
549
00:25:05,075 --> 00:25:08,081
Please make your way down.
550
00:25:11,956 --> 00:25:14,895
- Great. Thank you very much.
-Thank you.
551
00:25:14,895 --> 00:25:15,964
Thank you.
552
00:25:18,335 --> 00:25:22,711
Okay, now we'd like to taste
the four outstanding cakes
from their region,
553
00:25:22,711 --> 00:25:26,484
and the winning home cook will
win that amazing immunity pin,
554
00:25:26,484 --> 00:25:31,629
and they'll keep
their entire region safe
from elimination tonight.
555
00:25:33,432 --> 00:25:37,574
The first cake
we would like to taste,
it's almost a replica.
556
00:25:37,574 --> 00:25:40,947
From one of the two home cooks
in the Northeast...
557
00:25:43,786 --> 00:25:47,561
Please come forward, Brynn.
558
00:25:47,561 --> 00:25:50,533
- Whoo!
- All right.
559
00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:52,537
- Good job, Brynn.
560
00:25:52,537 --> 00:25:54,307
Back in the top again
feels good.
561
00:25:54,307 --> 00:25:55,677
I'm on a little bit
of a streak now.
562
00:25:55,677 --> 00:25:57,547
I've had two top dishes
563
00:25:57,547 --> 00:25:59,985
- so far for the Northeast.
-Wow.
564
00:25:59,985 --> 00:26:03,091
I didn't let the challenge
get the better of me,
565
00:26:03,091 --> 00:26:06,197
and maybe that's
gonna be what gets me
my immunity pin tonight.
566
00:26:07,233 --> 00:26:08,703
Tell us what you made, please.
567
00:26:08,703 --> 00:26:10,840
Kennedy gave me
the red velvet cake.
568
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,713
It's finished with a whipped
cream cheese frosting,
569
00:26:13,713 --> 00:26:15,817
red sprinkles,
and decorated strawberries.
570
00:26:15,817 --> 00:26:17,821
- Brynn, I just wanna
say well done.
- Thank you.
571
00:26:17,821 --> 00:26:19,958
The elegance of it,
it's eye-catching,
it's beautiful.
572
00:26:19,958 --> 00:26:23,933
They're identical.
But it's all gonna be
in that cut from the center.
573
00:26:23,933 --> 00:26:25,235
- All right.
- Shall we?
574
00:26:31,047 --> 00:26:33,018
Wow.
575
00:26:43,138 --> 00:26:45,109
The flavor of the cake is great.
I think it's airy.
576
00:26:45,109 --> 00:26:47,113
I think it's moist. It just--
I would've loved to have
577
00:26:47,113 --> 00:26:49,016
- more filling on the inside.
- Absolutely.
578
00:26:49,016 --> 00:26:51,321
I totally agree.
The sponge cake is moist
579
00:26:51,321 --> 00:26:52,958
and dense and has good flavor.
580
00:26:52,958 --> 00:26:54,995
- Good job.
- Thank you.
581
00:26:54,995 --> 00:26:57,701
- It is a very good
delicious cake.
- Thank you very much.
582
00:26:57,701 --> 00:26:58,769
- Well done.
- Thank you.
583
00:26:58,769 --> 00:27:00,607
- Good job.
- Really good.
584
00:27:00,607 --> 00:27:01,809
- Yeah, Brynn!
- Go, Brynn!
585
00:27:01,809 --> 00:27:05,182
- Good job.
- Good job, Brynn.
586
00:27:05,182 --> 00:27:09,390
All right, so the next cake
that we'd like to taste further
is from the South.
587
00:27:10,392 --> 00:27:12,931
They absolutely nailed
588
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:15,703
the aesthetics of
the original cake provided.
589
00:27:15,703 --> 00:27:18,609
Please come forward, Kolby.
590
00:27:18,609 --> 00:27:21,615
- Whoo!
- Good job, Kolby!
591
00:27:21,615 --> 00:27:23,251
- Good job, honey!
- Whoo!
592
00:27:23,251 --> 00:27:25,189
- Good job, Kolby!
- Whoo!
593
00:27:25,189 --> 00:27:26,157
Here you go, Chef.
594
00:27:26,157 --> 00:27:28,061
Kennedy gave me
the apple stack cake.
595
00:27:28,061 --> 00:27:29,998
It has six layers
of cinnamon cake,
596
00:27:29,998 --> 00:27:32,737
stewed apples in between
each layer, and toffee sauce.
597
00:27:32,737 --> 00:27:34,307
Visually, beautiful.
598
00:27:34,307 --> 00:27:36,779
We are asked for a replication,
599
00:27:36,779 --> 00:27:38,281
and you've done just that.
600
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,128
- Aarón: Wow.
-Looks good.
601
00:27:45,128 --> 00:27:47,266
Whew!
602
00:27:53,278 --> 00:27:55,115
The cake is moist.
603
00:27:55,115 --> 00:27:57,052
The apples I thought
might've been undercooked,
604
00:27:57,052 --> 00:27:59,223
but in fact,
they are perfectly cooked.
605
00:27:59,223 --> 00:28:01,962
- It's spot on. Good job.
- Thank you, Joe.
606
00:28:01,962 --> 00:28:03,900
Kolby, I think one
of your best performances
607
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:05,803
so far in this competition.
Sauce is delicious.
608
00:28:05,803 --> 00:28:07,674
Texture of the sponge,
the fragrance of the cinnamon.
609
00:28:07,674 --> 00:28:09,210
- It's just--
- Yeah, it's impressive.
610
00:28:09,210 --> 00:28:11,214
- Good job.
- Thank you very much, Chef.
611
00:28:11,214 --> 00:28:15,055
- Thank y'all very much.
- Nice job, Kolby.
612
00:28:15,055 --> 00:28:16,725
Good job, Kolby!
613
00:28:16,725 --> 00:28:18,228
- That's awesome.
- Thank you.
614
00:28:18,228 --> 00:28:21,602
Okay, the next cake
we wanna taste from the Midwest
615
00:28:21,602 --> 00:28:27,179
impressed us with its execution
despite some artistic issues.
616
00:28:27,179 --> 00:28:33,024
- Please come forward, Wayne.
- Oh. Really?
617
00:28:33,024 --> 00:28:34,193
Whoo!
618
00:28:38,268 --> 00:28:42,276
Kennedy gave me the Smith Island
nine layer cake
619
00:28:42,276 --> 00:28:45,249
that has layers of chocolate
buttercream in between,
620
00:28:45,249 --> 00:28:47,988
and then on top
is this chocolate ganache.
621
00:28:47,988 --> 00:28:50,192
Visually, I'm happy for you.
Let's be honest,
622
00:28:50,192 --> 00:28:51,895
no one wanted
that nine layer cake,
623
00:28:51,895 --> 00:28:53,532
and what you've created
in 90 minutes
624
00:28:53,532 --> 00:28:56,872
while it's visually not perfect,
I'm still very impressed.
625
00:28:56,872 --> 00:28:59,076
I just hope it tastes as good
as the original.
626
00:28:59,076 --> 00:29:00,947
- Shall we?
-Mm-hmm.
627
00:29:02,016 --> 00:29:04,320
- Nine layers, right?
- Yes, sir.
628
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,293
Nine excruciating layers.
629
00:29:10,499 --> 00:29:12,938
It just keeps going and going.
630
00:29:14,473 --> 00:29:17,179
That's crazy.
631
00:29:17,179 --> 00:29:21,087
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight...
632
00:29:32,911 --> 00:29:36,919
- Right, Wayne,
nine layers right?
- Yes, sir.
633
00:29:39,156 --> 00:29:43,131
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight...
634
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:48,542
- ...nine. Good job.
- God.
635
00:29:49,544 --> 00:29:51,247
Let's taste.
636
00:29:57,226 --> 00:30:00,232
Nine layers? It feels like you
had nine lives on this one.
637
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:03,773
Because you really did
what was necessary,
638
00:30:03,773 --> 00:30:06,512
- and I commend you for it.
- Thank you.
639
00:30:06,512 --> 00:30:09,283
You'd think a cake
like this would be heavy,
and it's really not.
640
00:30:09,283 --> 00:30:11,889
- Really quite good.
- Ganache, delicious.
641
00:30:11,889 --> 00:30:16,397
It does need to be thicker,
but you've pulled off something
not short of a miracle.
642
00:30:16,397 --> 00:30:17,834
I'm impressed. Good job.
643
00:30:17,834 --> 00:30:19,838
- Thank you.
- Nice, Wayne.
644
00:30:19,838 --> 00:30:24,380
- Good job.
- Go, Midwest.
645
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:28,154
Right. The final cake we would
like to taste from the West
646
00:30:28,154 --> 00:30:32,029
also comes from someone
making it into the top
647
00:30:32,029 --> 00:30:34,166
for the first time.
648
00:30:35,102 --> 00:30:38,876
Please step forward, Lizzie.
649
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:45,623
I'm finally on top,
and it feels so good.
650
00:30:45,623 --> 00:30:48,361
I think that I stand a chance
because I'm looking at my cake,
651
00:30:48,361 --> 00:30:50,432
it's got
all the right components.
652
00:30:50,432 --> 00:30:52,336
I know it tastes incredible.
653
00:30:52,336 --> 00:30:54,073
I am so proud of myself.
654
00:30:56,144 --> 00:30:58,582
Kennedy gave me
a marionberry cake.
655
00:30:58,582 --> 00:31:00,152
It is a four layer cake.
656
00:31:00,152 --> 00:31:03,024
It has a Swiss meringue
buttercream, chiffon cake,
657
00:31:03,024 --> 00:31:05,128
and also
a whipped cream filling.
658
00:31:05,128 --> 00:31:06,932
Yeah, I'm so impressed
that you continued to fight.
659
00:31:06,932 --> 00:31:09,871
The frosting needs
a little bit more refinement,
660
00:31:09,871 --> 00:31:11,407
but you've got the elements
in there.
661
00:31:11,407 --> 00:31:14,080
- Let's see how it tastes.
- Yes. Thank you, Chef.
662
00:31:25,168 --> 00:31:27,306
This is an excellent
balanced cake.
663
00:31:27,306 --> 00:31:29,511
You taste the berries, you taste
the richness of the sponge.
664
00:31:29,511 --> 00:31:31,414
It's quite perfect.
665
00:31:31,414 --> 00:31:34,855
I would just love to have more
kind of, like, an aesthetic
666
00:31:34,855 --> 00:31:39,163
- even on the inside,
but the flavor's top notch.
- Thank you.
667
00:31:39,163 --> 00:31:41,167
I think the chiffon cake
is really the star here.
668
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:43,739
It's airy, it's fluffy,
it's fragrant.
669
00:31:43,739 --> 00:31:48,014
I agree. It's creamy, it melts,
and it's just so more-ish.
670
00:31:48,014 --> 00:31:50,051
Really good job.
Well done.
671
00:31:50,051 --> 00:31:52,356
- Good job, Lizzie.
- Good job, Lizzie!
672
00:31:52,356 --> 00:31:54,594
Good job!
673
00:31:57,232 --> 00:31:59,437
Wow. It's a tough one, this one.
674
00:31:59,437 --> 00:32:02,342
Brynn, the red velvet cake, beautiful.
675
00:32:02,342 --> 00:32:03,646
Aesthetically,
you couldn't tell them apart.
676
00:32:03,646 --> 00:32:05,148
Aarón:
I mean, Kolby, come on.
677
00:32:05,148 --> 00:32:06,417
There's nowhere to hide.
678
00:32:06,417 --> 00:32:07,921
Even from the outside,
there's no icing.
679
00:32:07,921 --> 00:32:09,724
You see it all.
You get what you get.
680
00:32:09,724 --> 00:32:11,862
And then to eat it
and have it be that good
is really something.
681
00:32:11,862 --> 00:32:14,433
Wayne, a shock for me tonight.
Delicious.
682
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,206
I know it wasn't
the perfect cake aesthetically,
683
00:32:17,206 --> 00:32:19,945
but I'd like to reward
the courage.
684
00:32:19,945 --> 00:32:21,147
- We talk about Lizzie...
-Lizzie.
685
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:23,284
- Best tasting cake.
-Exactly.
686
00:32:23,284 --> 00:32:25,055
Perhaps the best tasting cake
of the evening.
687
00:32:25,055 --> 00:32:27,259
-Yeah.
- I mean, at the end of the day,
688
00:32:27,259 --> 00:32:29,631
- we are asking for replication.
- It's true.
689
00:32:29,631 --> 00:32:31,400
So who came the closest?
690
00:32:32,670 --> 00:32:34,708
Come on, Wayne.
691
00:32:34,708 --> 00:32:35,710
- All in agreement?
- Yep.
692
00:32:35,710 --> 00:32:37,614
- All right.
- Yeah?
693
00:32:38,983 --> 00:32:42,590
We all agreed
that tonight's best cake
694
00:32:42,590 --> 00:32:44,193
was executed by...
695
00:32:50,071 --> 00:32:52,977
- Kolby.
696
00:32:55,081 --> 00:32:59,490
- You did it, baby!
- Okay! Swear to God.
697
00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:01,795
-Kolby, well done.
- Go, Kolby!
698
00:33:01,795 --> 00:33:05,368
It was just replicated
to the highest order,
699
00:33:05,368 --> 00:33:08,374
which means you win
the immunity pin
700
00:33:08,374 --> 00:33:12,249
and you'll be safe
from elimination across
the next challenge.
701
00:33:12,249 --> 00:33:15,455
Come on up, young man.
Congratulations, bud.
702
00:33:15,455 --> 00:33:18,494
- Yes, Kolby!
- Good job, baby!
703
00:33:18,494 --> 00:33:19,998
I won, baby!
704
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:21,568
- Thank you, Chef.
- Congratulations.
705
00:33:21,568 --> 00:33:25,710
That means tonight all of the
South are safe from elimination.
706
00:33:25,710 --> 00:33:27,514
- Get 'em up there.
- Good job.
707
00:33:27,514 --> 00:33:30,720
I've been waiting on this moment
for the entire competition,
708
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,524
and it's finally here.
709
00:33:32,524 --> 00:33:34,528
- Great job, man.
- Thank you much.
710
00:33:34,528 --> 00:33:36,965
One of the hardest challenges
in the MasterChef kitchen,
711
00:33:36,965 --> 00:33:39,136
- and I just won.
- Kolby, well done.
712
00:33:39,136 --> 00:33:41,107
Thank you, Chef. Thank you.
713
00:33:41,107 --> 00:33:42,810
Now, Joe, and Aarón, and myself
714
00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:46,350
have noticed at least one cake
from each remaining region
715
00:33:46,350 --> 00:33:49,323
that really
missed the mark tonight.
716
00:33:49,323 --> 00:33:53,532
The first cake we must take
a closer look at,
717
00:33:53,532 --> 00:33:55,636
it's from the Northeast.
718
00:33:57,005 --> 00:33:58,341
Please step forward, Nina.
719
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:03,151
You're gonna be fine, Nina.
720
00:34:03,151 --> 00:34:05,088
Obviously,
I knew this was coming.
721
00:34:05,088 --> 00:34:07,326
I have to be the worst cake
in my region
722
00:34:07,326 --> 00:34:08,762
because there's
only two of us.
723
00:34:08,762 --> 00:34:10,332
All right.
724
00:34:10,332 --> 00:34:11,969
I know there are visual flaws
on the outside,
725
00:34:11,969 --> 00:34:13,539
but I think when
they cut into it,
726
00:34:13,539 --> 00:34:15,576
it's gonna be delicious.
727
00:34:15,576 --> 00:34:18,582
Kennedy gave me
the German chocolate cake,
728
00:34:18,582 --> 00:34:20,586
which is a three-layer
chocolate cake,
729
00:34:20,586 --> 00:34:22,590
then a chocolate frosting
around the outside.
730
00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:25,395
It doesn't quite have the
professional aesthetic sheen.
731
00:34:25,395 --> 00:34:28,301
But, look, that being said,
the dimension is similar.
732
00:34:28,301 --> 00:34:31,407
- I'm super curious to try it.
-Shall we?
733
00:34:38,722 --> 00:34:40,660
It's very wet in the middle.
734
00:34:48,509 --> 00:34:51,213
I think this cake has
one fundamental problem.
735
00:34:51,213 --> 00:34:53,484
You see there's just too much
liquid, too much moisture,
736
00:34:53,484 --> 00:34:55,355
the center of the cake
is falling out.
737
00:34:55,355 --> 00:34:58,328
It almost kind of feels
like oatmeal.
738
00:34:58,328 --> 00:34:59,330
Damn.
739
00:34:59,330 --> 00:35:01,367
Nina, the sponge is delicious,
740
00:35:01,367 --> 00:35:04,473
but, yeah, it needs to be
stronger in order to hold up.
741
00:35:04,473 --> 00:35:08,582
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I'm always so afraid
of cakes being dry
742
00:35:08,582 --> 00:35:10,352
that I tend underdo them
just a little bit.
743
00:35:10,352 --> 00:35:13,091
- You went the other way.
- You've gone the other way.
744
00:35:13,091 --> 00:35:14,861
- Gordon and Joe: Thank you.
- Yeah.
745
00:35:14,861 --> 00:35:17,199
Good job, Nina.
Still looked good.
746
00:35:18,636 --> 00:35:22,644
The next cake we need
to dive into, for the Midwest,
747
00:35:22,644 --> 00:35:26,685
made too many changes
too late in the game.
748
00:35:26,685 --> 00:35:30,125
Please come forward, Kyle.
749
00:35:30,125 --> 00:35:32,530
This kind of like
a seven-year-old's fever dream
750
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:35,603
of a crayon drawing
of a Meyer lemon cake.
751
00:35:35,603 --> 00:35:39,711
I just hope it tastes so good
that it can overcome the flaws.
752
00:35:43,084 --> 00:35:46,390
Kennedy gave me
the Meyer lemon cake.
It's got three layers.
753
00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:49,163
There's a layer of cream
and lemon curd
754
00:35:49,163 --> 00:35:50,332
in between each layer of cake.
755
00:35:50,332 --> 00:35:53,271
Well, obviously
there's no comparison.
756
00:35:53,271 --> 00:35:56,878
Every aspect of it is incorrect.
757
00:35:56,878 --> 00:35:59,617
This is such a departure
from that.
758
00:36:01,487 --> 00:36:04,159
-Oof.
- This is a mess.
759
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:06,565
Dear, oh, dear,
oh, dear, oh, dear.
760
00:36:16,350 --> 00:36:20,659
Kyle, like, every aspect of it
761
00:36:20,659 --> 00:36:22,897
is incorrect.
762
00:36:22,897 --> 00:36:24,500
- Shall we?
- Sure.
763
00:36:34,386 --> 00:36:36,123
A big part
of this whole challenge
764
00:36:36,123 --> 00:36:38,629
is accuracy replication,
and you went rogue.
765
00:36:38,629 --> 00:36:41,635
Cream cheese should not even be
anywhere near this cake,
766
00:36:41,635 --> 00:36:44,641
and it's a shame,
'cause I know you know
how to cook better than this.
767
00:36:44,641 --> 00:36:46,143
Yeah.
768
00:36:46,143 --> 00:36:49,116
Kyle, it's called
Meyer lemon for a reason.
769
00:36:49,116 --> 00:36:51,521
Unfortunately there's
no lemon in the center
770
00:36:51,521 --> 00:36:52,924
because the weight
of the sponge,
771
00:36:52,924 --> 00:36:54,694
it's pushed out
all the curd.
772
00:36:54,694 --> 00:36:56,497
And the curd's
the essential part.
773
00:36:56,497 --> 00:36:57,934
That's the essence
of this whole cake.
774
00:36:57,934 --> 00:37:02,042
- Yeah.
- Damn.
775
00:37:02,042 --> 00:37:05,181
I mean, it doesn't even
come close to being
what it's supposed to be.
776
00:37:05,181 --> 00:37:08,689
It really tastes like something
between a cheesecake
and a carrot cake.
777
00:37:09,958 --> 00:37:10,960
Thank you.
778
00:37:16,404 --> 00:37:18,575
And I failed today.
779
00:37:20,345 --> 00:37:22,182
The final cake comes
from the West.
780
00:37:22,182 --> 00:37:24,754
This cake should've been
absolutely perfect.
781
00:37:24,754 --> 00:37:26,357
It's one of the easiest
on the map.
782
00:37:26,357 --> 00:37:31,668
Please come down, MD.
783
00:37:31,668 --> 00:37:32,970
You got this, MD.
784
00:37:32,970 --> 00:37:34,774
I'm a little embarrassed
785
00:37:34,774 --> 00:37:36,545
that this is something
I'm known for,
786
00:37:36,545 --> 00:37:38,515
desserts, and this is
where I fail.
787
00:37:38,515 --> 00:37:40,786
Kennedy gave me
the key lime pie.
788
00:37:40,786 --> 00:37:45,328
It has a graham cracker crust,
a lime custard filling,
789
00:37:45,328 --> 00:37:47,567
and then finished
with whipped cream rosettes.
790
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:50,472
MD, a double-edged sword
for you tonight,
791
00:37:50,472 --> 00:37:52,242
the simplest cakes certainly
need to be nailed 100%.
792
00:37:52,242 --> 00:37:53,745
The finishing touches
with the cream,
793
00:37:53,745 --> 00:37:55,248
that's almost liquid.
794
00:37:55,248 --> 00:37:57,319
Looks like something
left over from a cake sale
795
00:37:57,319 --> 00:37:58,856
sat in the sun for three hours.
796
00:38:01,528 --> 00:38:03,097
You're gonna need
a spoon, Chef.
797
00:38:03,097 --> 00:38:06,370
I know. It's just--
it's just not coming out.
798
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,909
Oh, boy.
799
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:23,037
The custard for me,
it barely set,
800
00:38:23,037 --> 00:38:25,543
but I think has
great flavor.
801
00:38:25,543 --> 00:38:29,751
But the crumble crust is burnt,
like eating a burnt brioche.
802
00:38:29,751 --> 00:38:31,353
Ouch.
803
00:38:31,353 --> 00:38:34,293
MD, Kennedy gave you this
to set you up for success.
804
00:38:34,293 --> 00:38:35,696
You're in her region,
805
00:38:35,696 --> 00:38:38,735
but the key lime filling
needs more lime in there
806
00:38:38,735 --> 00:38:41,240
and the pipe on the cream,
it's amateurish.
807
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:42,743
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
808
00:38:42,743 --> 00:38:43,879
Thank you, Chef.
809
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:55,468
Nina, Kyle, and MD,
810
00:38:55,468 --> 00:38:56,972
this is gonna be
a very tough decision.
811
00:38:56,972 --> 00:38:58,542
Please give us a moment.
812
00:39:00,546 --> 00:39:02,817
Oh, man, this is hard.
813
00:39:02,817 --> 00:39:05,455
Okay, so Nina's cake
814
00:39:05,455 --> 00:39:06,725
just sort of sunk
into itself like a--
815
00:39:06,725 --> 00:39:08,461
- Yeah.
- Like a pudding.
816
00:39:08,461 --> 00:39:10,331
Yeah, like a pudding.
It's exactly that.
817
00:39:10,331 --> 00:39:13,705
Um, Kyle,
that was a disaster for me.
818
00:39:13,705 --> 00:39:16,277
Honestly, a Meyer lemon cake
should taste of lemon.
819
00:39:16,277 --> 00:39:18,649
- There was no lemon in there.
- And it has to be refined.
820
00:39:18,649 --> 00:39:20,719
That's a cake
that needs elegance.
821
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,222
And what happened
with the frosting?
822
00:39:22,222 --> 00:39:24,092
'Cause pivoted and just came up
with a different recipe?
823
00:39:24,092 --> 00:39:25,428
Aarón: You can't do that.
824
00:39:25,428 --> 00:39:26,998
This is about accuracy
and replicating.
825
00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:28,535
Right. Can't do that.
826
00:39:28,535 --> 00:39:30,506
-MD?
- She makes donuts.
827
00:39:30,506 --> 00:39:31,942
This should've been
in her wheelhouse.
828
00:39:31,942 --> 00:39:33,612
That should've been easy.
829
00:39:33,612 --> 00:39:35,415
I was expecting an
absolute flawless key lime pie.
830
00:39:35,415 --> 00:39:37,653
I'm nervous,
'cause I like all of them.
831
00:39:37,653 --> 00:39:39,724
All right,
the moment of truth.
832
00:39:43,030 --> 00:39:45,936
MD, Nina, Kyle,
833
00:39:45,936 --> 00:39:48,407
unfortunately one of you have
just cooked for the last time
834
00:39:48,407 --> 00:39:51,648
inside the MasterChef kitchen.
835
00:39:51,648 --> 00:39:56,490
The home cook who
will be leaving is...
836
00:40:00,933 --> 00:40:03,070
Kyle.
837
00:40:06,076 --> 00:40:07,513
Wow.
838
00:40:07,513 --> 00:40:10,385
Nina and MD,
say good-bye to Kyle, please,
839
00:40:10,385 --> 00:40:12,690
and head back to your station.
840
00:40:18,434 --> 00:40:21,140
Kyle, I go back to the beginning
of our relationship
841
00:40:21,140 --> 00:40:22,777
and you made a mark.
842
00:40:22,777 --> 00:40:24,614
That pork chop from
the audition? Extraordinary.
843
00:40:24,614 --> 00:40:26,551
And tipped you for the top ten.
844
00:40:26,551 --> 00:40:28,689
Tonight the technical ability
got the better of you,
845
00:40:28,689 --> 00:40:31,895
but I love the confidence,
the bravado.
846
00:40:31,895 --> 00:40:34,466
And I am really deeply sorry
to see you go, man.
847
00:40:34,466 --> 00:40:37,640
- Thank you, Chef.
- Tell us you're gonna continue
this journey, right?
848
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,180
I came in here saying
I was gonna do some hard things,
849
00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:43,852
I was gonna take some risks,
and I was gonna push myself.
850
00:40:43,852 --> 00:40:45,856
This challenge
got the better of me,
851
00:40:45,856 --> 00:40:48,027
but it's an absolutely honor
to cook for you guys,
852
00:40:48,027 --> 00:40:49,429
so thanks for having me.
853
00:40:49,429 --> 00:40:50,833
- Come and say good-bye.
- Thank you, Kyle.
854
00:40:50,833 --> 00:40:52,435
- Love you, Kyle.
- Love you, Kyle!
855
00:40:52,435 --> 00:40:54,641
- Oh, man. Good luck.
- Bring it in.
856
00:40:54,641 --> 00:40:56,745
- Thanks, Gordon.
- Class acts, guys.
857
00:40:56,745 --> 00:40:58,515
- Okay, buddy.
- Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.
858
00:40:58,515 --> 00:40:59,717
Good luck, brother.
Love the bravado. Keep it up.
859
00:40:59,717 --> 00:41:01,721
-Rock on.
- You a real one, Kyle.
860
00:41:01,721 --> 00:41:05,428
Please place your apron
on the station and say good-bye.
861
00:41:05,428 --> 00:41:10,371
You know,
any day, any challenge,
anyone can go home.
862
00:41:10,371 --> 00:41:15,048
I came to "MasterChef"
just to be a good role model
for my boy.
863
00:41:15,048 --> 00:41:17,820
I think I did it,
864
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:19,189
and I'm proud
of what I got to do here.
865
00:41:19,189 --> 00:41:22,863
Love you, Kyle!
866
00:41:27,973 --> 00:41:29,409
Next time...
867
00:41:29,409 --> 00:41:31,614
For the time in
"MasterChef" history...
868
00:41:31,614 --> 00:41:33,952
Oh, come on, Freddie.
Welcome to Dodger Stadium.
869
00:41:33,952 --> 00:41:36,490
Today you'll be cooking lunch
for over 100 kids.
870
00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:39,530
- Woohoo!
- Kolby, you get to pick one
person from the blue team
871
00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:42,670
and trade them with one person
from the red team.
872
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:44,439
- Dang.
873
00:41:44,439 --> 00:41:45,576
- Who's ready to eat?
874
00:41:45,576 --> 00:41:46,711
How long on burgers?
875
00:41:46,711 --> 00:41:47,980
They are coming
right now, James.
876
00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:49,617
Oh, my Lord.
Don't overcook them.
877
00:41:49,617 --> 00:41:51,487
Yes, sir. I am a barbeque
grand champion.
878
00:41:51,487 --> 00:41:53,124
It's raw.
Congratulations, you've lost.
879
00:41:53,124 --> 00:41:54,493
I am not confident on the grill.
880
00:41:54,493 --> 00:41:55,763
Do you think kids
like fried carrots?
881
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:57,666
- Oh, crap.
- How are we on that chicken?
882
00:41:57,666 --> 00:41:58,935
It was like dust in my mouth.
883
00:41:58,935 --> 00:42:00,806
We're not in the ass end
of nowhere!
884
00:42:00,806 --> 00:42:04,046
We're in the Dodger's stadium!
Does anyone care in here?
