00:00:19,454 --> 00:00:21,282

00:00:42,564 --> 00:00:44,653
But for every timesomeone left a winner...
14
00:00:44,653 --> 00:00:47,090
We did it!
15
00:00:47,134 --> 00:00:49,092
...hundreds were left craving
16
00:00:49,092 --> 00:00:51,094
another chanceto become a MasterChef.
17
00:00:51,138 --> 00:00:53,357
Your time is done
in "MasterChef."
18
00:00:53,401 --> 00:00:55,664
- We're sorry to see you go.
- This has been amazing.
19
00:00:55,707 --> 00:00:58,841
But I believein second chances.
20
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:01,235
I will carry on.
This is not my end.
This is actually my beginning.
21
00:01:01,278 --> 00:01:03,498
So get ready.
22
00:01:03,541 --> 00:01:06,109
This is
Back To Win."
23
00:01:06,153 --> 00:01:08,111
This year on "MasterChef"...
24
00:01:08,155 --> 00:01:10,679
- Oh, my gosh!
- ...is a season of redemption.
25
00:01:10,679 --> 00:01:12,855
Can you believe we're back here?
26
00:01:12,898 --> 00:01:14,683
We're reopening the doorsto some of the most memorable
27
00:01:14,683 --> 00:01:17,555
and talented cooksin the competition's history.
28
00:01:17,555 --> 00:01:19,601
These all-stars will geta second chance to prove
29
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:23,039
that they too deserve the titleof MasterChef.
30
00:01:23,039 --> 00:01:24,693
- Back to win. Let's go.
- Whoo!
31
00:01:24,736 --> 00:01:26,216
These people are amazing.
It's the best of the best.
32
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,479
- You got what it takes?
- Yes, I do.
33
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:30,699
And this time,there is no horsing around.
34
00:01:30,699 --> 00:01:32,309
Step up a little bit or go home!
35
00:01:32,353 --> 00:01:34,442
That was personal.
36
00:01:34,485 --> 00:01:36,270
We're holding these buddingculinary professionals
37
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:39,142
to the highest standardin "MasterChef" history.
38
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:41,275
Allow me to demonstrate.
Hold, left to right.
39
00:01:41,318 --> 00:01:43,494
- Right to left,
half moon shape.
- Oh, God.
40
00:01:43,581 --> 00:01:46,018
And there's even moreon the line than before.
41
00:01:46,062 --> 00:01:48,064
'Cause everybody has
something to prove.
42
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:51,502
- Wolfgang Puck!
43
00:01:51,546 --> 00:01:54,723
You're gonna put the reputation
of Spago on the line.
44
00:01:54,723 --> 00:01:56,507
It's freezing!
45
00:01:56,551 --> 00:01:58,553
What are you trying to do,
close down Spago?
46
00:01:58,596 --> 00:02:01,164
So if they wantto make it to the finale...
47
00:02:01,208 --> 00:02:03,558
- This is insanity!
- Medic!
48
00:02:03,601 --> 00:02:05,951
This time,there's zero room for error.
49
00:02:05,995 --> 00:02:07,649
Hey, it's raw.
50
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:15,309
- It's not
"Back To Win" material.
- This is terrible.
51
00:02:15,396 --> 00:02:18,529
This is your worst performance
in the competition so far.
52
00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:20,836
- I just don't
wanna see you go home.
- Me neither.
53
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,534
But if they survivethe toughest competition yet...
54
00:02:23,534 --> 00:02:25,536
- Whoo!
- Yes!
55
00:02:25,623 --> 00:02:27,625
...the taste of successwill be all the sweeter.
56
00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:30,889
I've never tasted anything
quite like that before.
57
00:02:30,933 --> 00:02:34,197
- You plate with
such beautiful finesse.
- That's award-winning stuff.
58
00:02:34,241 --> 00:02:35,416
You've come along way,
my friend.
59
00:02:35,459 --> 00:02:38,810
This is
Back To Win."
60
00:02:53,129 --> 00:02:56,654
- Oh, my gosh. Wow.
- Whoo!
61
00:02:56,698 --> 00:02:59,222
I am super pumped to be back
in the MasterChef kitchen.
62
00:02:59,222 --> 00:03:01,050
You know,
most people don't get
a second chance.
63
00:03:01,137 --> 00:03:02,356
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh.
64
00:03:02,399 --> 00:03:04,140
Can you all believe
we're back here?
65
00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:06,142
I was the season seven
runner-up.
66
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:08,884
And I didn't win.I was so close.
67
00:03:08,927 --> 00:03:12,453
But "MasterChef" changed my life
in every single aspect.
68
00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:14,455
Guys, let's put our books away
for a minute.
69
00:03:14,498 --> 00:03:16,805
Prior to season seven, I wasan elementary school teacher,
70
00:03:16,892 --> 00:03:19,851
but now I own my own privatechef and catering company.
71
00:03:19,938 --> 00:03:22,289
Oh, my goodness!
72
00:03:22,332 --> 00:03:24,247
There's someone
from every season here.
73
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:26,162
You've got Newton,
you've got Sarah,
74
00:03:26,249 --> 00:03:28,425
you've got people
from seasons one and two
and five and six.
75
00:03:28,469 --> 00:03:31,385
There's a lot of talent
standing behind me.
76
00:03:31,472 --> 00:03:34,126
- We got this.
- Hey, they better
watch out for us!
77
00:03:34,126 --> 00:03:37,260
Last time I was in this kitchen,
I was 12 years old,
and now I'm 20 years old.
78
00:03:37,304 --> 00:03:39,828
I could put that dish tonight
in my restaurant.
79
00:03:39,871 --> 00:03:41,046
- Great job. Well done.
- Thank you.
80
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:42,831
It's really exciting.
81
00:03:42,831 --> 00:03:45,486
All I wanna know right now
is where's Gordon?
82
00:03:45,529 --> 00:03:48,228
- Uh-oh.
- Oh!
83
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:49,968
- Wait, wait.
- Are judges coming?
84
00:03:50,012 --> 00:03:51,231
Here we go.
85
00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:56,105
- Aah!
- Oh, my gosh!
86
00:03:56,192 --> 00:03:59,543
- Aah!
87
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,722
Wow.
88
00:04:04,766 --> 00:04:07,856
This is absolutely insanity
to be standing here
89
00:04:07,856 --> 00:04:10,772
in front of Gordon Ramsay again.
90
00:04:10,859 --> 00:04:12,208
It's the greatest honor
of my life,
91
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,558
and I'm not gonna waste it.
92
00:04:14,602 --> 00:04:15,559
Welcome back to
the MasterChef kitchen,
everybody.
93
00:04:17,518 --> 00:04:19,868
This is
Back To Win."
94
00:04:19,911 --> 00:04:23,306
Over ten years worth
95
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:27,223
of past competitors right here,
including "Junior."
96
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:30,313
Whoo!
97
00:04:30,357 --> 00:04:32,489
Shayne, you were only 13
when you graced the floor
98
00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:33,490
of the MasterChef kitchen
last time.
99
00:04:33,534 --> 00:04:35,405
I'm a grown man now.
100
00:04:35,449 --> 00:04:38,321
We're all so glad
to have you back,
101
00:04:38,365 --> 00:04:41,803
not as home cooks anymore,
but as professionals.
102
00:04:41,846 --> 00:04:46,764
Now last time you were here,
clearly you all proved you had
incredible natural talent.
103
00:04:46,808 --> 00:04:48,679
In fact,
one of the only things
104
00:04:48,723 --> 00:04:50,159
you didn't get out
of your time here
105
00:04:50,246 --> 00:04:53,467
was the title of MasterChef.
106
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:56,774
Just like these
11 previous champions,
107
00:04:56,818 --> 00:05:01,910
only one of you will go home
as America's next MasterChef.
108
00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:05,479
And our incredible prize will
give you the leg up you need
109
00:05:05,522 --> 00:05:07,916
to fully realize
your culinary dreams.
110
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:09,352
- Whoo-whoo!
- Yeah!
111
00:05:09,352 --> 00:05:10,745
A quarter of a million dollars,
112
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:13,530
a complete, brand new,
113
00:05:13,574 --> 00:05:15,402
state of the art kitchen
from Viking,
114
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:18,709
the trophy,
and most importantly,
115
00:05:18,709 --> 00:05:21,059
the title of MasterChef.
116
00:05:22,757 --> 00:05:24,759
It takes some serious cojones
117
00:05:24,802 --> 00:05:27,370
to cook right here
in the MasterChef kitchen,
118
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:30,242
but it takes even more
to come back and win.
119
00:05:30,286 --> 00:05:33,724
Now if you want to wear
one of these again,
120
00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:36,031
you're gonna have to battle
each other for it.
121
00:05:36,031 --> 00:05:39,948
In these auditions, you'll be
cooking in head to head battles
122
00:05:39,991 --> 00:05:43,517
against some of the best cooks
this kitchen has ever seen.
123
00:05:43,517 --> 00:05:45,954
Since you are all capable
124
00:05:45,997 --> 00:05:48,391
of way more than you were
last time,
125
00:05:48,391 --> 00:05:50,785
we've upped
our standards as well.
126
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:53,570
We only have 20 aprons
this year,
127
00:05:53,614 --> 00:05:56,617
so that means
half of you already
128
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:58,749
have one foot out the door.
129
00:05:58,749 --> 00:06:00,882
Oh, my gosh.
130
00:06:00,925 --> 00:06:03,972
You all need to cook us
the best comeback dish ever.
131
00:06:03,972 --> 00:06:07,802
- Mm.
- Now to cheer you on,
your friends and family.
132
00:06:09,107 --> 00:06:11,545
Welcome, everybody!
133
00:06:11,545 --> 00:06:13,329
Hi!
134
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,766
Hi, baby.
135
00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:17,812
Oh, thank you.
136
00:06:17,855 --> 00:06:20,858
Right, everyone,
please take your seats.
137
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:23,470
Let's kick this off with
our first battle of the night.
138
00:06:23,557 --> 00:06:26,777
Adrien, season two.
139
00:06:26,821 --> 00:06:29,780
Mr. Derrick Fox, season six.
140
00:06:29,824 --> 00:06:33,001
Brandi, season seven.
141
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:36,439
And finally, Natasha,
season four.
142
00:06:37,614 --> 00:06:39,486
- Let's go.
- Good luck.
143
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:46,884
Now, all four of you have
something unique in common.
144
00:06:46,928 --> 00:06:51,280
All four of you made it
to the finals of your seasons.
145
00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:53,891
You were all runners-up.
146
00:06:53,891 --> 00:06:55,632
Derrick, what do you think
about the competition
147
00:06:55,676 --> 00:06:57,460
on the left and right of you?
148
00:06:57,504 --> 00:07:00,942
I know how hard it is
to get to the finale,
149
00:07:00,985 --> 00:07:05,033
and for the confetti
to fall for someone else,
we all have that in common.
150
00:07:05,033 --> 00:07:10,821
America's next great
MasterChef is Claudia!
151
00:07:10,821 --> 00:07:15,130
To lose in the finalewas very hard.
152
00:07:15,173 --> 00:07:18,481
I was so close, and I've never
been so close to something
153
00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:21,919
so life-changing and then--
154
00:07:21,963 --> 00:07:23,834
just, it, like,falls through your fingertips.
155
00:07:23,878 --> 00:07:26,924
It's been a heavy weight
on my shoulders.
156
00:07:26,924 --> 00:07:30,058
Even though I didn't win,"MasterChef" changed my life,
157
00:07:30,058 --> 00:07:34,366
and I remind myself that
every day.
158
00:07:34,366 --> 00:07:38,675
Before "MasterChef,"I was a struggling drummerliving gig to gig.
159
00:07:38,719 --> 00:07:41,635
Now I've been running
a private chef business.
160
00:07:41,678 --> 00:07:44,072
I've been doing pop-ups
around the country.
161
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:46,727
I'm back to show America
162
00:07:46,770 --> 00:07:48,859
that this ismy one culinary dream,
163
00:07:48,903 --> 00:07:50,687
to be the next MasterChef.
164
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:54,865
Brandi, what does it mean
to be back to win?
165
00:07:54,952 --> 00:07:56,954
Gosh, you're gonna get me
emotional before we even start.
166
00:07:56,998 --> 00:08:00,523
You know,
it means so much to me.
It means everything to me.
167
00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:02,090
You know,
I was so close last time,
168
00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:05,528
but if you're not first,
you're last with second place.
169
00:08:05,572 --> 00:08:08,052
Right, all four of you,
the very best of luck.
170
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:12,579
You have 45 minutes
to get your hands on that
"Back To Win" apron.
171
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:15,669
Your time starts now.
Let's go.
172
00:08:20,543 --> 00:08:22,153
- Come on, Derrick! Yes!
- Come on, you got it.
173
00:08:24,112 --> 00:08:27,898
Keep the noise up!
174
00:08:27,985 --> 00:08:31,467
Right, Joe and Aarón, season 12,
"Back To Win."
175
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,121
How excited are you? Aarón?
176
00:08:33,164 --> 00:08:35,471
For me, there's nothing
better than having redemption,
177
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:37,604
the shot of righting a wrong.
178
00:08:37,691 --> 00:08:39,475
And what a round to kick it off.
179
00:08:39,475 --> 00:08:41,782
Four runners-up,
180
00:08:41,825 --> 00:08:43,914
but only two will come out
with an apron.
181
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:46,787
- More lemon zest.
- At this point,
we have to judge them
182
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:50,791
at more professional level,
because the level
is going to be sky high.
183
00:08:50,834 --> 00:08:52,575
- Yeah.
- You've got this, Adrien.
184
00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:55,143
- Thank you, thank you.
- Guys, 15 minutes gone.
185
00:08:55,143 --> 00:08:58,059
30 minutes to go!
186
00:08:58,146 --> 00:09:00,148
Right, young man,
how are you feeling?
187
00:09:00,235 --> 00:09:02,454
I got my heart in my throat,
but other than that, I'm good.
188
00:09:02,498 --> 00:09:05,588
Season two. Nearly a decade ago.
How does it feel to be back?
189
00:09:05,588 --> 00:09:07,068
You know, it was hard to lose,
190
00:09:07,155 --> 00:09:09,592
but it was a great opportunity
of being here to learn from you.
191
00:09:09,636 --> 00:09:12,508
I'm Adrien, and on
season two of "MasterChef,"
I was the runner-up.
192
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,554
The winner is...
193
00:09:15,859 --> 00:09:18,732
Jennifer!
194
00:09:18,819 --> 00:09:22,170
Even though I didn't win,
"MasterChef" significantly
changed my life.
195
00:09:22,257 --> 00:09:24,128
I've been around the countryworking and working my way up
196
00:09:24,172 --> 00:09:26,653
to executive chef,
and then opening up restaurants.
197
00:09:26,696 --> 00:09:30,265
My love for food definitelycomes from my Mexican heritage,
198
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:34,269
and I want to showcasehow much I've grownin these ten years.
199
00:09:34,269 --> 00:09:35,923
- I wanna win,
and I'm here to win.
- Tell me about the dish.
200
00:09:35,966 --> 00:09:37,664
- What are you doing?
- It's an homage to Texas.
201
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:41,058
I'm making a New York strip,
and a little bit of cactus,
202
00:09:41,058 --> 00:09:42,930
mushroom herb emulsion,
salsa macha with bone marrow.
203
00:09:42,973 --> 00:09:44,845
- Wow, so you're going all out.
- Trying to do a bunch
204
00:09:44,888 --> 00:09:46,673
of different things
in a short amount of time.
205
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,065
- Dish sounds amazing.
- Appreciate it.
206
00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:49,327
Good luck.
Just under 30 minutes to go.
207
00:09:49,327 --> 00:09:50,590
Heard, Chef.
208
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:52,417
Let's go, Brandi!
You got this!
209
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:54,506
Whoo, that's hot.
210
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:56,552
- Brandi!
- Hello, Chef Aarón.
211
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:57,771
Talk to me a little bit
about what you're making.
212
00:09:57,814 --> 00:10:01,296
I am cooking a cast iron seared
venison loin
213
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:05,213
and it's gonna be served over
an acorn squash purée
with a blackberry demi-glace.
214
00:10:05,256 --> 00:10:07,781
What do you think the venison
should be? What temperature?
215
00:10:07,824 --> 00:10:10,653
- Between rare and medium rare.
- Beautiful.
216
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:13,874
Let your meat rest
for the amount of time
that you've cooked it.
217
00:10:13,874 --> 00:10:15,789
That is why I got my meat in
so early.
218
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:18,661
- Well, stay composed.
- Yes. Thank you, Chef.
219
00:10:18,661 --> 00:10:22,883
- Derrick, you got this.
- So, young man, the dish,
what are you doing?
220
00:10:22,883 --> 00:10:25,799
I'm a doing a crab and ricotta
stuffed squid ink agnolotti
221
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:28,018
with a lobster cream sauce.
222
00:10:28,105 --> 00:10:29,585
Look at the pasta.
That's a touch dry there.
223
00:10:29,585 --> 00:10:31,239
- I know.
- So just be smart.
224
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:33,110
We can only judge you
on what you put on that plate.
225
00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:35,460
- Yes, Chef. Thank you.
- Stay calm. Stay calm.
226
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:40,640
You guys may remember me,
Natasha from season four.
227
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:42,685
Congratulations, Luca!
228
00:10:43,904 --> 00:10:46,254
I put my heart into my season,
229
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:48,691
and to make it so closeand not win,
230
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:51,128
there's not a day that goes bythat I don't think about it.
231
00:10:51,172 --> 00:10:54,262
Last time I was in
the MasterChef kitchen,
I was 26 years old.
232
00:10:54,262 --> 00:10:56,046
A lot's changed since then.
233
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,266
I was able to startmy own catering business.
234
00:10:58,266 --> 00:10:59,833
I've been travelingaround the world.
235
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:02,183
I've learned so much
in the last eight years,
236
00:11:02,226 --> 00:11:04,925
and I'm ready to show thatI've grown as a person.
237
00:11:04,968 --> 00:11:07,014
I'm just back here to have,
like, my redemption.
238
00:11:07,057 --> 00:11:09,059
- Now how are you feeling?
- I'm feeling good.
239
00:11:09,103 --> 00:11:11,061
So tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
240
00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:13,411
So I am going with
a deconstructed cheesecake.
241
00:11:13,455 --> 00:11:16,284
Wow, to make one generally,
you're talking about
90 minutes, two hours.
242
00:11:16,284 --> 00:11:17,938
How do you deconstruct one
in 45 minutes?
243
00:11:17,981 --> 00:11:19,853
I just thought
I could use the components
244
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:21,637
and just really gonna hone in
on the taste of it.
245
00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:22,551
- I can't wait to taste it.
- Thank you.
246
00:11:22,638 --> 00:11:24,509
Good luck.
247
00:11:24,553 --> 00:11:25,641
Whoo.
248
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,948
20 minutes to go.
249
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:30,994
Whoo!
250
00:11:34,084 --> 00:11:36,957
So Derrick, looks like
he's really struggling.
251
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,959
- He's stressed out.
- He's a mess.
252
00:11:40,438 --> 00:11:42,136
This is .
253
00:11:42,179 --> 00:11:44,878
I'm having troublewith the pasta dough right now.
254
00:11:44,965 --> 00:11:47,054
I've spent too much time
on this dough,
255
00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:50,100
but it's dry,
and I'm in full panic mode.
256
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,015
But this is the most importantcomponent on my plate.
257
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:54,104
I didn't come here
to not get an apron.
258
00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:56,977
So we've got 16 minutes to go
259
00:11:57,020 --> 00:11:58,892
and he's still working
on the dough.
260
00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:00,110
He's gonna be cutting it
right to the wire.
261
00:12:00,154 --> 00:12:01,808
He might be in a bit of trouble.
262
00:12:01,851 --> 00:12:03,810
Take a deep breath.
You got this, babe.
263
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:04,854
Oh, my God.
264
00:12:16,997 --> 00:12:18,868
So we got 16 minutes to go
265
00:12:18,912 --> 00:12:20,870
and Derrick is still working
on the dough.
266
00:12:20,914 --> 00:12:23,351
He might be in a bit of trouble.
267
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:26,006
So I'm having trouble
with the pasta dough right now,
268
00:12:26,049 --> 00:12:27,877
but this is the most importantcomponent on my plate.
269
00:12:27,921 --> 00:12:29,923
I didn't come here
to not get an apron.
270
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,795
I gotta just push,
and I can do it.
271
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:34,057
It's just adapt and overcome.
272
00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:36,277
- Right, we're back in control.
- I'm back in, Chef.
273
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:39,802
Look at the pasta,
and if it needs a light dusting,
dust it.
274
00:12:39,846 --> 00:12:40,977
- It'll stop it from cracking.
- Yep.
275
00:12:41,021 --> 00:12:42,936
Beautiful, beautiful.
276
00:12:42,936 --> 00:12:45,721
We're down to
the last ten minutes.
277
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:47,854
- Adrien!
- Go, Adrien! Whoo!
278
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:52,032
- That smells good!
- Thank you, thank you.
279
00:12:52,032 --> 00:12:55,383
Come on, Derrick.
You got this, baby.
Finish strong.
280
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:58,299
My hands are shaking so bad.
281
00:12:58,386 --> 00:13:01,781
Coming down to the last
60 seconds, guys! Come on!
282
00:13:01,824 --> 00:13:04,696
Whoo!
283
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:06,524
All the finishing touches!
284
00:13:06,568 --> 00:13:07,656
Aah!
285
00:13:07,743 --> 00:13:11,965
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
286
00:13:11,965 --> 00:13:15,185
six, five, four, three,
287
00:13:15,185 --> 00:13:17,057
two, one.
288
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:18,667
And stop! Well done!
289
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:22,018
Come here.
I'm so proud of you.
290
00:13:22,062 --> 00:13:24,281
What an amazing performance.
291
00:13:24,325 --> 00:13:26,675
Please, join us
in the restaurant. Let's go.
292
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:39,993
Okay, Adrien, can you
please bring your plate?
293
00:13:39,993 --> 00:13:40,994
Yes.
294
00:13:43,561 --> 00:13:44,998
Thank you.
295
00:13:45,041 --> 00:13:47,348
We have a New York strip,
potato crumble,
296
00:13:47,391 --> 00:13:50,220
cactus pico,
with a bone marrow salsa macha
over the top.
297
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,919
What temperature were you
going for on the steak?
298
00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:55,008
At home I eat my steaks rare,
and I thought, you know what?
299
00:13:55,051 --> 00:13:57,140
My flavors are good.
It's seasoned right.
300
00:13:57,227 --> 00:13:59,012
- Rare's good for me.
- It's a big risk.
301
00:14:03,016 --> 00:14:05,105
The cactus pico, delicious.
302
00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:06,236
That little sort of crunch,
the texture,
303
00:14:06,236 --> 00:14:08,108
the heat coming through
at the end.
304
00:14:08,151 --> 00:14:10,458
The steak does need
another three or four minutes.
305
00:14:10,458 --> 00:14:12,895
Once you've got those
white marbles of fat
306
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:15,898
still running through there,
it just confirms
insufficient cooking time.
307
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:19,771
- But it feels refined.
- Thank you, Chef.
308
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:22,209
I think you captured
the Mexican palate
309
00:14:22,252 --> 00:14:23,471
in this dish,
which I really appreciate.
310
00:14:23,514 --> 00:14:26,126
- Sure.
- At the end of the day,
311
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:27,475
this dish shows
a lot of potential.
312
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:29,172
- Good job.
- Thank you.
313
00:14:29,259 --> 00:14:30,826
- Thanks, Adrien.
- Good job, man.
314
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,654
- Thanks.
- Brandi, please.
315
00:14:35,483 --> 00:14:38,486
I've made for you all
a cast iron seared venison loin
316
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:41,968
with acorn squash purée,
a blackberry demi-glacé,
317
00:14:42,055 --> 00:14:43,491
and the pickled blackberries.
318
00:14:43,491 --> 00:14:45,145
How did you season it?
319
00:14:45,188 --> 00:14:47,016
I seasoned it
with just salt and pepper.
320
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:48,496
I really wanted the venison
to shine on its own.
321
00:14:53,501 --> 00:14:55,503
Well, five years has made quite
a difference in your cuisine
322
00:14:55,503 --> 00:14:58,114
because this is
a very well executed dish.
323
00:14:58,158 --> 00:15:01,161
The acorn squash is heavenly.
It's nutty.
324
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:03,815
It has all those beautiful
silky smooth characteristics
325
00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:06,514
that is a beautiful break from
the richness of the venison.
326
00:15:06,557 --> 00:15:08,081
Brandi,
you've nailed the venison.
327
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:10,170
It's got that nice
gamey flavor to it.
328
00:15:10,213 --> 00:15:12,824
It's cooked beautifully.
But I disagree with the judges.
329
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:16,872
The purée's too creamy,
so it doesn't taste of acorn.
Thank you.
330
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:19,657
Derrick, can you please
bring up your dish?
331
00:15:22,965 --> 00:15:26,186
We have a crab and ricotta
stuffed squid ink agnolotti
332
00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:27,535
with a tarragon butter
poached lobster
333
00:15:27,535 --> 00:15:30,538
with uni on top
and a lobster cream sauce.
334
00:15:30,581 --> 00:15:32,235
Visually,
it looks beautiful.
335
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,324
One thing that we grew
to admire with you
336
00:15:34,368 --> 00:15:36,979
is the finesse, but there's
a lot going on there.
337
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:40,200
You've got crab, lobster.
Do you need uni on there?
338
00:15:40,243 --> 00:15:43,464
I believe so. I think
it really elevates the dish
another notch.
339
00:15:43,507 --> 00:15:45,205
I'll let you know
once I've tasted it.
Thank you.
340
00:15:52,212 --> 00:15:54,866
The lobster is soft.
It's seasoned.
341
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:56,477
The pasta itself is good.
342
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,435
Even the uni, I thought
it would be over the top,
343
00:15:58,479 --> 00:16:00,350
but it kinda actually works
for me. I liked it.
344
00:16:00,394 --> 00:16:02,178
Yeah, the beauty in this
is the sauce for me.
345
00:16:02,222 --> 00:16:04,441
I think it has so much flavor.
It's creamy.
346
00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:07,314
It totally enrobes the lobster
in a beautiful way.
347
00:16:07,357 --> 00:16:09,577
I think the only problem
I've got with you
is the editing.
348
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:12,275
In terms of lobster,
super sweet.
349
00:16:12,362 --> 00:16:14,234
- Uni, super sweet.
- Okay.
350
00:16:14,234 --> 00:16:15,887
And there's
insufficient balance.
351
00:16:15,931 --> 00:16:17,585
But this dish is good.
352
00:16:17,585 --> 00:16:20,196
I'm just concerned about
the competition behind you.
353
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,677
Thank you.
354
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,374
- That lobster's
cooked beautifully.
- Oh, my Lord.
355
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:26,811
- Good job.
- Natasha.
356
00:16:29,597 --> 00:16:31,381
I have
a deconstructed cheesecake
357
00:16:31,425 --> 00:16:33,166
with a brown butter crumb
358
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:35,255
and a lemon
and raspberry filling.
359
00:16:35,298 --> 00:16:37,300
When you have
deconstructed anything,
360
00:16:37,344 --> 00:16:39,302
the danger
is that every single element
361
00:16:39,389 --> 00:16:40,608
has nowhere to hide.
362
00:16:46,396 --> 00:16:48,311
Here's the thing,
it tastes good.
363
00:16:48,355 --> 00:16:51,271
The lemon component
of this dessert is beautiful.
364
00:16:51,271 --> 00:16:54,622
I think it's light,
it's airy, but I'm not a fan
of that dried raspberry powder.
365
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:56,624
That's an opportunity to use
the fresh version of it.
366
00:16:56,624 --> 00:16:58,408
- Understand.
- The technique is really good,
367
00:16:58,408 --> 00:17:00,758
and, look, it takes a lot
of confidence to come here
368
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:03,718
and do something
like a cheesecake
and then deconstruct it.
369
00:17:03,761 --> 00:17:06,503
And I think this is a reflection
of your evolution as a person.
370
00:17:06,547 --> 00:17:07,896
I appreciate that.
Thank you, Joe.
371
00:17:07,983 --> 00:17:10,116
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Natasha.
372
00:17:10,203 --> 00:17:13,336
Please, all four of you,
give us a moment.
373
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:18,167
I think it's difficult when
you think about the trajectory
and how much they want it.
374
00:17:18,211 --> 00:17:20,648
But you can see
why they were all second place.
375
00:17:20,648 --> 00:17:21,997
- For sure.
- It's a tough one.
376
00:17:21,997 --> 00:17:22,998
Yeah.
377
00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:30,310
I think it's safe to say that
this is a very tough decision,
378
00:17:30,353 --> 00:17:33,313
but the reality is that there's
only two white aprons to give.
379
00:17:33,356 --> 00:17:36,098
And the first apron
goes to a cook
380
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:40,102
who is not afraid of taking
a very difficult ingredient
381
00:17:40,146 --> 00:17:41,712
and it making it sing
on the plate.
382
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:42,887
The apron goes to...
383
00:17:45,847 --> 00:17:47,457
Brandi.
384
00:17:47,501 --> 00:17:48,502
Here's your apron.
385
00:17:48,545 --> 00:17:50,982
Congratulations.
386
00:17:51,026 --> 00:17:53,202
- Outstanding. You deserve it.
- Thank you so much.
387
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,469
This has been
a very tough decision,
388
00:17:59,513 --> 00:18:02,951
but it came down to
the tiniest of margins.
389
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:05,693
This apron is going to...
390
00:18:20,316 --> 00:18:22,971
This apron is going to...
391
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:40,423
I know, like, how hardthis journey is going to be.
392
00:18:40,467 --> 00:18:42,382
I've gone all the way
to the finale before,
393
00:18:42,425 --> 00:18:44,688
so I'm just trying
to get back there.
394
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,519
Thank you.
395
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:52,609
Losing ten years ago,
second place,
396
00:18:52,653 --> 00:18:55,873
and then coming in
and not even getting more
opportunity to show
397
00:18:55,917 --> 00:18:58,267
what I've learned in the last
ten years, it's a little bit
of a disappointment.
398
00:18:58,311 --> 00:19:02,402
- Good job, Brandi!
399
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:05,448
I'm coming into
this competition a different
person than I was before.
400
00:19:05,535 --> 00:19:07,189
I'm just so proud
of myself right now.
401
00:19:09,191 --> 00:19:11,367
Right, next up, Lindsay.
402
00:19:13,239 --> 00:19:15,937
Julia!
403
00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:18,766
Emily.
404
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:22,335
And Shanika!
405
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:25,555
It's time
for the season nine showdown.
406
00:19:25,555 --> 00:19:28,776
Come on, MasterChef gods.
Why you doing this to me?
407
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:32,083
Everyone knows Emily and Ihave history.
408
00:19:32,127 --> 00:19:34,347
Last time we saw each other,
I sent her home,
409
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:37,437
so you know
she's not coming to play.
410
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,572
You've all got 45 minutes
and your time starts now.
411
00:19:42,616 --> 00:19:43,965
Let's go.
412
00:19:49,927 --> 00:19:51,059
Too quiet!
413
00:19:54,628 --> 00:19:57,239
When you think of how
competitive season nine was,
414
00:19:57,283 --> 00:19:59,110
we know they're super fierce,
415
00:19:59,154 --> 00:20:00,373
but only two of them
will be graced
416
00:20:00,416 --> 00:20:01,504
with an apron tonight.
417
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:05,378
Julia, what do you got going on?
Talk to me.
418
00:20:05,421 --> 00:20:08,685
I've got a nice
Italian almond cake
419
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:12,602
with some amaretto cherries,
espresso mascarpone mousse,
420
00:20:12,602 --> 00:20:14,604
and a little chocolate ganache.
421
00:20:14,604 --> 00:20:17,259
Guys, remember me?
It's Julia from season nine,
422
00:20:17,303 --> 00:20:18,826
your favorite
Italian from Chicago!
423
00:20:18,869 --> 00:20:21,481
- I need fries now!
- Hey, hey, hey!
424
00:20:21,481 --> 00:20:23,483
- Let's bring it down!
- Oh, my God.
425
00:20:23,526 --> 00:20:25,267
The last time I was here
on season nine,
426
00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:28,488
I had the heart,the determination, the drive,
427
00:20:28,488 --> 00:20:30,925
but I didn't quite make itto the top.
428
00:20:30,968 --> 00:20:33,580
I'm gonna do the same thingthat I did the first time,
429
00:20:33,623 --> 00:20:35,799
but I'm gonna do it
even better, because now
I'm gonna go to the end.
430
00:20:35,843 --> 00:20:37,410
Do you feel like you can
nail this really confidently?
431
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:39,716
Absolutely.
Growing up, we always had
432
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,545
amaretto Disaronno in our house
and their amaretti cookies,
433
00:20:42,632 --> 00:20:44,417
and that was my inspiration
to make this.
434
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:47,115
- I love that. Good luck.
- Thank you.
435
00:20:49,726 --> 00:20:52,729
Right, welcome back, girl.
Absolute pleasure to see you.
436
00:20:52,773 --> 00:20:54,165
Pleasure to be here.
437
00:20:54,209 --> 00:20:55,558
I'm Lindsay, I'm 44 years old,
438
00:20:55,645 --> 00:20:57,734
and I am back to win.
439
00:20:57,778 --> 00:20:59,780
On season nine,I don't think that anybody
440
00:20:59,823 --> 00:21:02,870
got to see what kind of cook
I could become in the kitchen.
441
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:05,220
You have such a fighting spirit,
you're resilient.
442
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:07,527
Tonight wasn't your night.
443
00:21:07,527 --> 00:21:09,224
But "MasterChef"
was a springboard
444
00:21:09,311 --> 00:21:11,531
to catapult me intoa culinary world full-time.
445
00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:13,533
Before "MasterChef,"
I was an attorney.
446
00:21:13,576 --> 00:21:16,449
After "MasterChef,"
I own and operate a bakery
447
00:21:16,492 --> 00:21:18,233
and café
with my wife Stephanie.
448
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,365
How's this dish tonight
gonna separate yourself
449
00:21:19,452 --> 00:21:20,670
from the competition?
450
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:22,455
So I'm making
a chicken and dumpling.
451
00:21:22,498 --> 00:21:24,195
We're elevating it.
452
00:21:24,239 --> 00:21:25,240
We're doing
some Parisian style gnocchi.
453
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,590
- Love that.
- With a chicken roulade
454
00:21:27,634 --> 00:21:30,201
stuffed with kale
and shiitake mushrooms.
455
00:21:30,245 --> 00:21:32,465
We'll still have
some gravy on there,
but it won't be so smothered
456
00:21:32,552 --> 00:21:34,771
that you can't get that
nice crisp out of the gnocchi.
457
00:21:34,771 --> 00:21:38,427
There was very little
that ever fazed you
back in season nine.
458
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:40,429
Nothing's gonna faze me
this time either, Chef.
459
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:41,691
It's so good to see you back.
Good luck.
460
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:44,477
- All right.
- Just 34 minutes remaining.
461
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,697
Come on, ladies. Keep it going.
462
00:21:47,741 --> 00:21:51,353
- How's it taste, Em?
- Really good.
463
00:21:51,353 --> 00:21:52,920
- Right, how are you feeling?
- Good.
464
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,575
Doing a blue crab and
mascarpone stuffed tortellini.
465
00:21:55,575 --> 00:21:58,099
- Wow.
- It's got a lemon
beurre blanc sauce.
466
00:21:58,142 --> 00:22:01,711
Dish sounds amazing.
Super complicated to pull off
tonight in 45 minutes.
467
00:22:01,798 --> 00:22:04,366
We were mortified when you left.
That was a shock.
468
00:22:04,410 --> 00:22:05,802
Last time I was here
on season nine,
469
00:22:05,846 --> 00:22:07,717
I made a mistakethat sent me home.
470
00:22:07,761 --> 00:22:11,504
You can either pick one person
to go up against
471
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:15,595
or you can save just yourself.
472
00:22:15,595 --> 00:22:18,075
I'm gonna choose to go
head to head with Shanika.
473
00:22:18,075 --> 00:22:19,729
- I'm ready.
- Wow.
474
00:22:19,773 --> 00:22:24,691
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, no. Her cake fell over.
475
00:22:24,734 --> 00:22:28,651
The person leaving
the MasterChef kitchen is Emily.
476
00:22:28,695 --> 00:22:31,393
That moment is something thatI do think about often.
477
00:22:31,437 --> 00:22:34,657
Let's just say if given
the opportunity to save myself
478
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:37,094
or try to sendsomeone else home,
479
00:22:37,094 --> 00:22:38,313
I will be saving myself.
480
00:22:38,313 --> 00:22:39,967
I was crushed when it--
481
00:22:39,967 --> 00:22:41,664
let it slip through my fingers
the first time.
482
00:22:41,751 --> 00:22:43,840
So having a second opportunity,
483
00:22:43,884 --> 00:22:45,973
you can bet I'm not gonna make
the same mistakes.
484
00:22:45,973 --> 00:22:47,322
Good. Just over 30 minutes
to go. Good luck.
485
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,977
Thank you.
486
00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:51,326
Hi, Shanika. Welcome back.
487
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:52,980
- Joe.
- How you doing?
488
00:22:53,023 --> 00:22:54,677
- I'm doing good.
- What are you making today?
489
00:22:54,764 --> 00:22:57,419
I am making strawberry arancini.
490
00:22:57,463 --> 00:22:58,986
- Arancini?
- Yeah, stuffed with
a honey goat cheese.
491
00:22:59,029 --> 00:23:01,684
- A sweet arancini?
- A sweet arancini.
492
00:23:01,728 --> 00:23:03,643
Isn't there a lot of love
between season nine?
493
00:23:03,686 --> 00:23:05,645
I have fond memories
of that season.
494
00:23:05,688 --> 00:23:07,995
- It's love/hate.
- It's love/hate.
495
00:23:07,995 --> 00:23:10,650
- We love each other.
- I'm--
496
00:23:10,693 --> 00:23:12,565
- You and her maybe not so much.
- Maybe not so much.
497
00:23:12,565 --> 00:23:15,002
- Okay.
- I've battled Emily before,
498
00:23:15,089 --> 00:23:17,700
and what got me through that
is me staying 100% focused.
499
00:23:17,787 --> 00:23:20,660
And tonight I'm gonna take
that same energy
500
00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:24,228
because getting this aprongets me one step closer
501
00:23:24,315 --> 00:23:27,623
to becomingone of the greatest femalechefs of my generation.
502
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,756
So I am not going down
without a fight.
503
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:32,454
So you think sweet arancini's
a good way to go here?
504
00:23:32,498 --> 00:23:34,674
- It's a little bit risky, no?
- It is very risky.
505
00:23:34,717 --> 00:23:37,720
But, Joe, this is
"MasterChef" season 12.
506
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:38,808
- You're gonna go big
or go home.
- Excellent.
507
00:23:38,852 --> 00:23:42,508
30 minutes down.
Last 15 minutes remaining.
508
00:23:42,595 --> 00:23:45,032
Come on, ladies. Come on.
509
00:23:45,032 --> 00:23:47,034
Let me brown my butter.
510
00:23:47,121 --> 00:23:49,602
So Lindsay's making a sort of
chicken and dumpling dish.
511
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:51,473
They look delicious.
512
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:53,649
- It's good.
- Beautiful.
513
00:23:53,693 --> 00:23:56,043
So Julia is gonna
make this almond cake.
514
00:23:56,043 --> 00:23:57,914
Yeah,
out of these four women,
515
00:23:57,958 --> 00:23:59,046
Julia actually got
the highest in season nine.
516
00:23:59,089 --> 00:24:01,004
She came seventh.
517
00:24:01,048 --> 00:24:02,615
Her performance a few years back
was extraordinary.
518
00:24:02,615 --> 00:24:04,834
Oh, yeah.
519
00:24:04,878 --> 00:24:07,837
Emily is doing
a hand rolled tortellini.
520
00:24:07,837 --> 00:24:10,753
Joe, can pasta be made
that quickly?
521
00:24:10,797 --> 00:24:13,495
Yeah, you should rest
the pasta a little bit more.
But, look, Emily's not stupid.
522
00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:17,630
- So maybe she can accelerate
the pasta process.
- It's looking good.
523
00:24:18,761 --> 00:24:20,937
All right, we gotta go in.
524
00:24:20,981 --> 00:24:23,940
Shanika, she's doing her take
on arancini with strawberries.
525
00:24:23,984 --> 00:24:27,074
I mean, we know arancini
comes from leftover risotto.
526
00:24:27,117 --> 00:24:30,556
But to take a leap of faith
and do a dessert? Big risk.
527
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:32,427
- It's one
of those tricky dishes.
- There we go.
528
00:24:33,863 --> 00:24:36,649
Finish strong! Finish strong!
529
00:24:36,692 --> 00:24:38,868
I'm just waiting
on this damn cake.
530
00:24:38,912 --> 00:24:40,609
Julia's cake is not out
of the oven yet.
531
00:24:40,653 --> 00:24:43,351
We've got just over
six minutes to go.
532
00:24:43,438 --> 00:24:44,744
How do you fast track a cake?
533
00:24:44,787 --> 00:24:46,963
- You don't.
- You can't.
534
00:24:47,007 --> 00:24:49,879
- Come on, man.
- This is gonna
go down to the wire.
535
00:24:49,966 --> 00:24:52,534
And you know cakes
need time to rest.
536
00:24:52,578 --> 00:24:54,014
- Mm-hmm.
- That's extremely important.
537
00:24:54,101 --> 00:24:56,059
This damn cake is
going to be the death of me.
538
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:08,550
Julia's cake is not out
of the oven yet.
539
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:10,770
And you know
cakes need time to rest.
540
00:25:10,813 --> 00:25:13,294
- How do you fast track a cake?
- You don't.
541
00:25:13,337 --> 00:25:14,904
- You can't.
- This damn cake is going
to be the death of me.
542
00:25:14,948 --> 00:25:16,863
This is gonna go down
to the wire.
543
00:25:16,906 --> 00:25:20,475
3 1/2 minutes remaining.
Come on. Keep it going.
544
00:25:22,999 --> 00:25:26,133
Who doesn't love
some fried chicken skin?
545
00:25:26,133 --> 00:25:29,484
- Julia's cake's out.
- Cake is done.
546
00:25:29,571 --> 00:25:32,574
- Beautiful.
- Thank God.
547
00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:35,490
60 seconds remaining!
One minute!
548
00:25:44,151 --> 00:25:47,546
Ten, nine, eight,
549
00:25:47,589 --> 00:25:50,374
seven, six, five,
550
00:25:50,418 --> 00:25:53,595
four, three, two, one.
551
00:25:53,639 --> 00:25:55,510
And stop. Well done.
552
00:25:58,905 --> 00:26:01,603
- Holy .
553
00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:05,607
Now it's time
to see how the season nine
showdown shakes out.
554
00:26:05,651 --> 00:26:07,740
You go! Go, girl!
555
00:26:07,827 --> 00:26:08,741
This is probably going to be
556
00:26:08,741 --> 00:26:10,394
the most competition season
557
00:26:10,438 --> 00:26:11,831
in the history of "MasterChef"
558
00:26:11,874 --> 00:26:14,398
because everybody
has something to prove.
559
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:18,228
- Yeah, Lindsay!
- Beautiful!
560
00:26:20,753 --> 00:26:22,798
Okay, Lindsay,
please step forward.
561
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:26,933
- Nice.
- Here you go.
562
00:26:26,976 --> 00:26:28,499
So this is a take on
a chicken and dumpling.
563
00:26:28,543 --> 00:26:30,893
So I've got some
Parisian style gnocchi
564
00:26:30,937 --> 00:26:33,243
with a chicken roulade
and pan gravy.
565
00:26:36,551 --> 00:26:41,861
- And the pan sauce is a roux?
- Pan sauce is a roux, yes.
566
00:26:41,861 --> 00:26:45,865
When you're cooking out
a roux base, it takes time
for that flour to disappear,
567
00:26:45,865 --> 00:26:47,344
and I've got a little bit
of floury taste.
568
00:26:47,388 --> 00:26:49,216
But dumplings, exquisite.
569
00:26:49,216 --> 00:26:51,914
They're crisp on the outside,
light and fluffy in the middle.
570
00:26:51,958 --> 00:26:53,220
To accomplish that in 45 minutes
is hard to believe.
571
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:54,874
You gotta
push yourself and go big.
572
00:26:54,917 --> 00:26:57,006
This is not regular
"MasterChef."
573
00:26:57,006 --> 00:26:58,660
We've all been here before.
574
00:26:58,704 --> 00:27:00,096
We gotta step our game up,
every one of us,
575
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:01,968
- if we want to go on.
- You are exactly right.
576
00:27:02,011 --> 00:27:04,013
You know, Lindsay,
this dish has a lot of flavor.
577
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:07,669
It's rich, and it's rustic,
and it's well executed.
578
00:27:07,713 --> 00:27:09,062
- Good job.
- Thanks, Chef.
579
00:27:09,105 --> 00:27:12,543
- Thanks, Lindsay.
- Thank you, Lindsay.
580
00:27:12,587 --> 00:27:14,589
Miss Julia, can you please
bring up your dish?
581
00:27:19,246 --> 00:27:21,901
What I've made for you
is an Italian almond cake
582
00:27:21,944 --> 00:27:24,251
with an espresso
mascarpone mousse,
583
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:28,690
some Disarrono
braised cherries,
and some almond glass.
584
00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:32,476
Why a dessert
when you're up against
three very strong ladies
585
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,609
and you've only had 45 minutes?
586
00:27:34,609 --> 00:27:36,045
Not a lot of people bake here.
587
00:27:36,089 --> 00:27:38,831
So I don't mind
having the challenge,
588
00:27:38,918 --> 00:27:41,747
and I wanna let them know
that I can get this done in 45,
589
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:43,836
so maybe they would be
a little nervous.
590
00:27:54,150 --> 00:27:57,284
I like the choices
that you made thinking about how
it was going to be composed.
591
00:27:57,371 --> 00:27:59,852
You have a creamy element.
You have something that's tart.
592
00:27:59,852 --> 00:28:01,070
I like the flavor a lot.
593
00:28:01,114 --> 00:28:03,638
It reminds me of
my childhood growing up.
594
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:05,074
My question I ask myself,
595
00:28:05,074 --> 00:28:07,424
is this enough to play
at this level?
596
00:28:07,468 --> 00:28:09,992
The dish is good,
but the big question is
is it good enough?
597
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,779
It's not your average season.
Thank you.
598
00:28:13,866 --> 00:28:17,434
- Thank you.
- Next up, Emily, please.
599
00:28:21,177 --> 00:28:23,963
It's a flowered crab
and mascarpone tortellini
600
00:28:24,006 --> 00:28:27,618
in a lemon beurre blanc
with a seasoned crab salad.
601
00:28:27,662 --> 00:28:29,098
Emily, visually,
it looks beautiful,
602
00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:31,753
but big risk making pasta,
giving it time to rest.
603
00:28:31,797 --> 00:28:33,799
You started rolling that
20 minutes in.
604
00:28:35,104 --> 00:28:37,280
What's in the filling?
605
00:28:37,324 --> 00:28:39,500
It is crab
and mascarpone cheese,
some shallots, and chive.
606
00:28:44,679 --> 00:28:46,768
Pasta, beautifully manipulated.
607
00:28:46,768 --> 00:28:48,248
Just be careful when you add
that mascarpone cheese.
608
00:28:48,335 --> 00:28:49,945
It's distracting from
the actual flavor of the crab.
609
00:28:49,989 --> 00:28:52,339
So it sweetens everything up,
610
00:28:52,339 --> 00:28:54,254
but the dish oozes precision
611
00:28:54,341 --> 00:28:56,909
and gives us all
a stern reminder
612
00:28:56,996 --> 00:28:59,912
how early you left
this competition.
613
00:28:59,999 --> 00:29:01,348
What you have here
is truly elegant.
614
00:29:01,348 --> 00:29:03,698
The flavors are clear.
They're clean and robust.
615
00:29:03,785 --> 00:29:05,787
- Thank you.
- This is the kind of dish
616
00:29:05,787 --> 00:29:07,180
that perhaps
could get you to compete
617
00:29:07,223 --> 00:29:09,835
with the best of the best.
Thank you.
618
00:29:09,878 --> 00:29:13,316
- Thanks.
- Shanika, please bring us
your dish to try.
619
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:19,061
I have here for you guys
a strawberry arancini
620
00:29:19,148 --> 00:29:20,933
with a honey goat cheese
filling,
621
00:29:20,976 --> 00:29:23,936
strawberry balsamic
syrup reduction.
622
00:29:23,979 --> 00:29:26,025
I hope it tastes better
than it looks,
623
00:29:26,068 --> 00:29:27,722
because it doesn't look
that appetizing as a dessert.
624
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:29,028
Heard, Chef.
625
00:29:32,118 --> 00:29:33,815
But I just hope
that you like this, Joe.
626
00:29:41,214 --> 00:29:44,391
Hmm.
That's a curveball for you.
627
00:29:44,391 --> 00:29:48,699
Yeah, my palate's bouncing
all over the place.
628
00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:49,875
What do you think, Shanika?
Do you think I like it
or I hate it?
629
00:30:03,105 --> 00:30:04,977
What do you think, Shanika?
Do you think I like it
or I hate it?
630
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:11,722
I think you might like it.
631
00:30:11,766 --> 00:30:12,985
This dish is incredible.
632
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:15,248
Like, the rice
is perfectly cooked.
633
00:30:15,291 --> 00:30:16,902
The flavors are balanced.
634
00:30:16,989 --> 00:30:18,425
The sauce is
a little bit excessive,
635
00:30:18,425 --> 00:30:21,080
but the rice ball itself,
top notch.
636
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,299
Is it a little too sweet
in some notes? Yeah.
637
00:30:23,343 --> 00:30:26,085
But there's a good acidity
and that's helping a lot.
638
00:30:26,128 --> 00:30:29,088
- Thank you, Chef.
- I don't know if it's as good
639
00:30:29,131 --> 00:30:32,743
as Joe and Aarón make out,
but it's not supposed to work,
640
00:30:32,787 --> 00:30:35,442
and bizarrely,
it actually tastes quite nice.
641
00:30:35,442 --> 00:30:36,878
- Thank you, Chefs.
- Thank you.
642
00:30:39,228 --> 00:30:42,449
Ladies, please give us a moment.
We have a lot to discuss.
643
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:45,887
- Um, so this is
gonna be very tough.
- Getting real.
644
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:47,323
Is that a fluke with Shanika's?
645
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:50,152
I don't know
if she just got lucky.
I have no idea.
646
00:30:50,239 --> 00:30:52,328
Lindsay took a risk
with her dumplings.
647
00:30:52,372 --> 00:30:53,329
It actually tasted quite decent.
648
00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:54,896
No, it was quite good, yeah.
649
00:30:54,896 --> 00:30:56,463
Julia's cake
was a very bold move
650
00:30:56,463 --> 00:30:57,986
to put that dish up
for an apron.
651
00:31:02,904 --> 00:31:05,864
So the first apron,
this is a chance for redemption.
652
00:31:05,907 --> 00:31:08,475
It's a chance to right a wrong.
653
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:11,260
And that apron goes to Emily.
654
00:31:11,304 --> 00:31:12,609
Great job.
655
00:31:14,524 --> 00:31:15,699
This is for you.
656
00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:18,137
I hope you can take this
657
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:19,965
and learn from all the mistakes
you made before, right?
658
00:31:20,052 --> 00:31:21,053
- I will. I promise.
- Okay?
659
00:31:22,489 --> 00:31:24,970
Oh, my God.
660
00:31:25,013 --> 00:31:29,148
We have one more apron
for this group.
It wasn't easy.
661
00:31:29,148 --> 00:31:34,022
The good news is that the chef
that will be moving forward
662
00:31:34,066 --> 00:31:36,720
has definitely redeemed herself
since season nine.
663
00:31:36,764 --> 00:31:39,941
The bad news is that, Shanika,
664
00:31:39,985 --> 00:31:42,117
you're gonna have to find a way
to get along with Emily.
665
00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:46,774
Come get your apron.
666
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,820
Thank you, Chefs.
667
00:31:49,864 --> 00:31:52,084
Emily and I have an apron.
668
00:31:52,127 --> 00:31:54,913
That means this fight
is not over.
669
00:32:03,051 --> 00:32:05,097
Getting this apronis that validation
670
00:32:05,184 --> 00:32:07,403
in sayingI was eliminated too early.
671
00:32:07,447 --> 00:32:10,015
So now I'm bringing back whatI left on the table and more.
672
00:32:10,102 --> 00:32:12,104
- I'm so ready.
- Congrats.
673
00:32:12,104 --> 00:32:13,975
Thank you, Lindsay.
674
00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:15,890
Listen,it's not the desired outcome,
675
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:16,935
but I'm leaving "MasterChef"
676
00:32:16,978 --> 00:32:18,414
with a great sense of pride.
677
00:32:18,458 --> 00:32:20,547
I went out there,I killed it,
678
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:21,983
so I walk away
with my head held high.
679
00:32:25,595 --> 00:32:28,120
Thank you very much.
Ready for the next battle?
680
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,253
- Yes, Chef!
- Wuta, season ten.
681
00:32:31,297 --> 00:32:33,255
- How does it feel
to be back here?
- It feels amazing.
682
00:32:33,299 --> 00:32:35,562
- I gotta show you
what I can do now.
- Amanda, season six,
683
00:32:35,562 --> 00:32:37,999
I know that you have your family
here cheering you on.
684
00:32:37,999 --> 00:32:41,568
- Lexy, season 11 phenomenon.
- Thank you.
685
00:32:41,568 --> 00:32:43,352
And lastly,
Christian, season five.
686
00:32:43,352 --> 00:32:45,006
You're a super confident guy.
687
00:32:45,006 --> 00:32:46,355
Do you have any doubts tonight
688
00:32:46,399 --> 00:32:48,575
looking at these cooks
left and right of you?
689
00:32:48,575 --> 00:32:49,576
Hell, naw.
690
00:32:50,925 --> 00:32:52,927
Mm-mm.
691
00:32:53,014 --> 00:32:54,450
- Right. You guys ready?
- Yes, Chef.
692
00:32:54,494 --> 00:32:57,976
45 minutes.
Your time starts now.
693
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,109
Whoo!
694
00:33:08,290 --> 00:33:11,163
- Thank you!
- Yes!
695
00:33:11,206 --> 00:33:13,382
Right, young lady,
welcome back.
696
00:33:13,382 --> 00:33:16,342
- Thank you so much.
- Oh, my goodness me.
697
00:33:16,385 --> 00:33:17,604
I still have nightmares
of the last time you left
this competition.
698
00:33:17,604 --> 00:33:20,955
On season six,
I went home way too early.
699
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,391
My cake was raw.
700
00:33:22,435 --> 00:33:23,001
- That's raw.
- I know.
701
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:26,526
Tell us about the dish.
What are you making?
702
00:33:26,613 --> 00:33:29,050
I'm making
a zaatar olive oil cake.
703
00:33:29,050 --> 00:33:31,183
Another cake?
Of all nights, why cake?
704
00:33:31,183 --> 00:33:33,489
Because I had a bakery shop,
705
00:33:33,533 --> 00:33:36,057
and I've been able to bakethousands of cakes since,
706
00:33:36,101 --> 00:33:38,494
really make my nameas cake baker.
707
00:33:38,538 --> 00:33:40,148
We're so glad to have you back.
708
00:33:40,192 --> 00:33:41,932
- Thank you so much, Chef.
- Good luck.
709
00:33:41,976 --> 00:33:44,196
- Get to work.
- Let's go!
710
00:33:44,239 --> 00:33:46,198
Wuta, what do you got going on?
Talk to me.
711
00:33:46,198 --> 00:33:47,982
You know I'm about
to swag drip this food.
712
00:33:48,069 --> 00:33:50,028
Look, I'm old.
What is swag drip?
713
00:33:50,071 --> 00:33:51,638
- Style.
- A lot of style.
714
00:33:51,681 --> 00:33:54,641
Oh, like, style.
Orale. Swag drip.
715
00:33:54,641 --> 00:33:56,512
After "MasterChef" season ten,
716
00:33:56,556 --> 00:33:58,645
I didn't just go backto being a teacher.
717
00:33:58,645 --> 00:33:59,994
I've been in the kitchen.
718
00:34:00,081 --> 00:34:02,301
And now I'm a private chef
719
00:34:02,344 --> 00:34:05,652
and I want the judges to see
how I've elevated my palate
720
00:34:05,652 --> 00:34:07,523
throughout the last three years.
721
00:34:07,523 --> 00:34:09,047
Now this dish, talk to me
a little bit about it.
722
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:10,657
It's a shrimp burger.
723
00:34:10,700 --> 00:34:12,528
It's encrusted in panko,
so we're gonna have that crunch,
724
00:34:12,572 --> 00:34:14,226
- that crunch that you need.
- I like that.
725
00:34:14,269 --> 00:34:15,879
- Yes, sir.
- All right, keep on it, buddy.
726
00:34:15,923 --> 00:34:19,013
- Let's go, Lexy!
- Yeah.
727
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:20,667
- Lexy.
- Yes?
728
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:22,538
Tell me about the dish.
What are you making?
729
00:34:22,538 --> 00:34:24,975
I have pan seared scallops
with fried calamari
730
00:34:25,019 --> 00:34:27,413
and herb salad
and a garlic cream sauce.
731
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:29,676
Wow. You didn't even touch
any of those ingredients
last time round.
732
00:34:29,676 --> 00:34:31,591
No, I did not.
I was too scared to.
733
00:34:31,678 --> 00:34:35,116
When I was here last,
I was definitely
an amateur cook.
734
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,596
I was cooking on a budget.
735
00:34:36,683 --> 00:34:38,250
My budget's, like, $40 a week
for groceries, which is--
736
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:39,381
- A week?
- What?
737
00:34:39,468 --> 00:34:40,687
Yeah.
738
00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:42,384
I cooked for my family
and my husband,
739
00:34:42,471 --> 00:34:43,472
and that was about it.
740
00:34:43,516 --> 00:34:45,257
And now I have a small business
741
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:46,823
where I cook for other people,
742
00:34:46,867 --> 00:34:48,042
and they love my food.
743
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,696
And just feeding off of that
744
00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:51,263
has given me
so much more confidence,
745
00:34:51,306 --> 00:34:53,352
and I know that I can do this.
746
00:34:53,395 --> 00:34:55,876
Be smart with that dish.
Taste everything.
747
00:34:55,919 --> 00:34:58,052
- Yes. Thank you.
- Get your hands on that apron,
and good luck.
748
00:34:58,096 --> 00:34:59,140
Thank you so much.
749
00:35:02,709 --> 00:35:04,276
Right, young man,
tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
750
00:35:04,319 --> 00:35:06,278
I'm making
a bourbon glazed salmon
751
00:35:06,321 --> 00:35:08,323
served with
a creamy mashed potato
752
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:10,717
and sautéed shallot
white wine spinach.
753
00:35:10,717 --> 00:35:13,154
What I love about you is that
you've kept yourself super busy,
754
00:35:13,198 --> 00:35:16,375
but you've also been
a prolific private chef.
755
00:35:16,418 --> 00:35:19,726
When you do so well at home,
you've got that reputation,
why come back?
756
00:35:19,726 --> 00:35:21,510
Why come back?
Because I love what I do
and I'm passionate.
757
00:35:21,554 --> 00:35:23,599
I mean, I wanna win this.
758
00:35:23,643 --> 00:35:25,210
You know, I just lost
my grandmother last year...
759
00:35:25,253 --> 00:35:27,386
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- ...so this is for her.
760
00:35:27,429 --> 00:35:30,389
Of course. You focus
and you make sure you send
that message up there...
761
00:35:30,432 --> 00:35:31,085
- Yes, sir.
- ...that you're back to win.
762
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:32,304
The passion for cooking
763
00:35:32,347 --> 00:35:34,306
comes from my late grandmother.
764
00:35:34,349 --> 00:35:36,177
She could bake her ass off.
765
00:35:36,221 --> 00:35:37,657
I learned a lotfrom my grandmother.
766
00:35:37,744 --> 00:35:40,181
Me and her had a relationship
767
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:42,401
that I'll never getfrom anybody else.
768
00:35:42,401 --> 00:35:44,359
For her to see me
on my season, like...
769
00:35:46,666 --> 00:35:51,192
I know she's looking down,
and I know she's proud.
770
00:35:51,236 --> 00:35:52,367
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Chef.
771
00:35:56,241 --> 00:35:57,807
Five minutes remaining.
Come on.
772
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,245
It's not raw.
773
00:36:01,681 --> 00:36:03,248
It's good.
774
00:36:03,291 --> 00:36:05,337
One minute remaining!
775
00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:07,382
- Let's go!
- Ha!
776
00:36:07,426 --> 00:36:10,690
Taste everything.
This is where it counts.
777
00:36:10,777 --> 00:36:13,432
Start dressing, Christian.
Don't leave that too late.
778
00:36:13,475 --> 00:36:17,131
Go, Amanda!
That looks beautiful!
779
00:36:17,218 --> 00:36:19,089
- Come on, Christian.
Let's go, baby.
- Yes, Chef!
780
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:20,308
Christian's the only one
with nothing on the plate.
781
00:36:23,572 --> 00:36:25,183
What is Christian doing?
782
00:36:35,671 --> 00:36:37,456
- 45 seconds to go!
- Come on, Christian.
783
00:36:37,499 --> 00:36:39,284
- Let's go, baby.
- Yes, Chef!
784
00:36:39,327 --> 00:36:41,634
Christian's the only one
with nothing on the plate.
785
00:36:41,677 --> 00:36:43,070
Christian, you gotta plate,
young man.
786
00:36:43,157 --> 00:36:44,376
Here we go. Here we go.
787
00:36:44,419 --> 00:36:46,508
He's going to the plate.
788
00:36:46,595 --> 00:36:48,641
30 seconds to go!
Come on, guys!
789
00:36:48,684 --> 00:36:50,686
Here we go!
Down to the wire!
790
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:55,256
- Let's go! Come on!
- 20 seconds to go!
791
00:36:55,256 --> 00:36:57,389
Gently, Christian.
Gently, Christian.
792
00:36:59,173 --> 00:37:03,046
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
793
00:37:03,090 --> 00:37:05,962
six, five, four,
794
00:37:06,006 --> 00:37:08,965
three, two, one.
795
00:37:13,753 --> 00:37:16,625
Well done!
796
00:37:16,712 --> 00:37:18,540
Please, very carefully
bring those dishes through
797
00:37:18,584 --> 00:37:22,109
and follow us into
the MasterChef restaurant.
Thank you.
798
00:37:22,196 --> 00:37:23,023
This is gonna be tough, guys.
799
00:37:27,332 --> 00:37:29,072
Wuta, can you please
bring your dish forward?
800
00:37:32,032 --> 00:37:34,513
So I have my shrimp burger
801
00:37:34,556 --> 00:37:38,430
with chili garlic sriracha
aioli sauce
802
00:37:38,473 --> 00:37:40,562
and some homemade tots.
803
00:37:40,649 --> 00:37:43,739
Wuta, very few chefs dare
to put shrimp in a burger.
804
00:37:43,783 --> 00:37:45,654
If this is cooked beautifully,
then you're back to win.
805
00:37:45,698 --> 00:37:47,003
Yes, Chef.
806
00:37:55,577 --> 00:37:58,580
This dish is perplexing.
I don't know why
I like it so much,
807
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:00,365
but it's just
straight up delicious.
808
00:38:00,408 --> 00:38:03,368
I love the courage,
elevating the concept
809
00:38:03,455 --> 00:38:05,805
of a shrimp burger
up to top level.
810
00:38:05,848 --> 00:38:10,244
But is that good enough
to get back in this competition?
811
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,159
That's a really tough question.
812
00:38:12,246 --> 00:38:13,682
Thank you, Wuta.
813
00:38:13,726 --> 00:38:15,467
Christian, show us your dish.
814
00:38:17,904 --> 00:38:19,035
What I've prepared for you
815
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:21,342
is a bourbon glazed salmon
816
00:38:21,386 --> 00:38:24,693
with creamy mashed potato
and a sautéed garlic spinach.
817
00:38:24,737 --> 00:38:26,782
It looks straightforward.
818
00:38:26,782 --> 00:38:28,697
That being said,
the simplicity of the dish,
819
00:38:28,741 --> 00:38:29,698
everything's gotta be perfect.
820
00:38:29,742 --> 00:38:31,265
Do you feel confident
821
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:32,266
- with the cook on the fish?
- Yes.
822
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:34,399
All right.
823
00:38:38,054 --> 00:38:39,273
Wow, he's back.
824
00:38:48,717 --> 00:38:51,503
Christian, the salmon's
cooked beautifully.
825
00:38:51,546 --> 00:38:53,505
What I love
is the crispiness of it,
826
00:38:53,592 --> 00:38:56,029
and that you got that nice
bourbon glaze on top.
827
00:38:56,072 --> 00:38:57,639
You extracted all the beautiful
flavor from the bourbon.
828
00:38:57,726 --> 00:39:00,555
It's woody, it's nutty.
I mean, it's rocking.
829
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:02,122
- Good job.
- Thank you.
830
00:39:02,165 --> 00:39:05,430
Lexy, please.
831
00:39:05,473 --> 00:39:08,520
I have pan seared scallops
and fried calamari
832
00:39:08,563 --> 00:39:10,304
in a lemon cream sauce.
833
00:39:17,616 --> 00:39:19,531
Lexy, these scallops
are cooked beautifully.
834
00:39:19,618 --> 00:39:22,621
Love the acidity.
Not a big fan of the calamari.
835
00:39:22,664 --> 00:39:26,320
- Oh.
- The sauce for me is a miss.
It's kind of grainy.
836
00:39:26,407 --> 00:39:27,756
The pickled salad, the greens,
837
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,192
very, very nice contrast
to the acidity.
838
00:39:29,236 --> 00:39:30,542
You did very, very well.
839
00:39:30,542 --> 00:39:32,892
Amanda, please bring us
your dessert.
840
00:39:32,979 --> 00:39:35,416
Thank you.
841
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:37,984
Today I made for you
a zaatar olive oil cake,
842
00:39:38,027 --> 00:39:40,813
lemon sesame snow,
and some pulled sugar.
843
00:39:40,856 --> 00:39:42,554
It looks stunning.
Shall we?
844
00:39:49,952 --> 00:39:52,999
Amanda, cake's delicious.
Let's get that right.
845
00:39:53,042 --> 00:39:55,654
The cake is moist, light.
846
00:39:55,654 --> 00:39:57,873
It's very, very evocative,
very delicious.
847
00:39:57,873 --> 00:40:00,441
Have the confidence to soak
a little with that sponge.
848
00:40:00,441 --> 00:40:02,922
It just warrants
a touch more olive oil.
849
00:40:03,009 --> 00:40:05,490
The competition is rife,
and so to come in
850
00:40:05,577 --> 00:40:07,753
in "Back To Win" with a cake
851
00:40:07,796 --> 00:40:11,104
when in season six it was a cake
that sent you home,
852
00:40:11,147 --> 00:40:14,368
it's a very, very,
very courageous move.
Thank you.
853
00:40:14,455 --> 00:40:19,895
Four incredible dishes,
and clearly this means a lot
for all of you.
854
00:40:19,939 --> 00:40:23,029
As you know, we only have
two aprons to award.
855
00:40:23,072 --> 00:40:24,596
And our first apron goes to...
856
00:40:26,902 --> 00:40:29,165
Christian.
857
00:40:29,165 --> 00:40:31,037
Here you go.
858
00:40:31,037 --> 00:40:33,692
- Well done, mijo.
- Thank you.
859
00:40:33,735 --> 00:40:37,391
Here you go. Make us proud,
all right, brother?
860
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:39,524
I'm not gonna let y'all down.
861
00:40:39,611 --> 00:40:42,483
Congratulations.
Well done.
862
00:40:42,527 --> 00:40:44,703
Good job.
863
00:40:44,746 --> 00:40:48,837
I got what I came here for.
I know my grandmother's proud.
864
00:40:48,881 --> 00:40:51,492
I just gotta win now.
865
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:55,496
All right, guys,
three very different dishes.
866
00:40:55,540 --> 00:40:58,064
Only one apron left to give.
867
00:40:58,064 --> 00:41:02,503
This is a difficult one,
but this last apron goes to...
868
00:41:08,988 --> 00:41:10,642
Amanda.
869
00:41:14,907 --> 00:41:17,083
I just won an apron
for the second time,
870
00:41:17,083 --> 00:41:18,693
and I did it on a cake!
871
00:41:20,652 --> 00:41:22,654
You did it!
872
00:41:22,741 --> 00:41:24,003
Most peopledon't get second chances,
873
00:41:24,090 --> 00:41:26,875
so I'm so incredibly proud
and excited,
874
00:41:26,962 --> 00:41:31,097
and I just wanna do the bestthat I possibly can.
875
00:41:31,097 --> 00:41:33,882
Next time, the "Back To Win"audition battles continue...
876
00:41:33,926 --> 00:41:35,971
So far,
we've given out six aprons,
877
00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:38,670
which leaves 14 up for grabs.
878
00:41:38,713 --> 00:41:40,106
as more returning faces...
879
00:41:40,149 --> 00:41:41,890
Including "Junior."
880
00:41:41,934 --> 00:41:45,111
I have unfinished business
in the MasterChef kitchen.
881
00:41:45,111 --> 00:41:48,593
...fight to get their hands onthe coveted MasterChef apron.
882
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,597
- I'm back to win.
- That's right.
883
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,903
- Flambe.
- The competition is fierce.
884
00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:57,819
We got a lot of fine cookery
going on tonight.
885
00:41:57,906 --> 00:41:59,691
- No mistakes can be made.
- Shaking.
886
00:41:59,734 --> 00:42:01,606
What's Cate doing?
887
00:42:01,649 --> 00:42:02,911
You know as well as I do
that that's wrong.
