I'm not going to continue banging my head against the wall. Roe, back in line. Sterling, take off your jacket.
Your team have given up on you. I haven't. You're in the Red Team.
Thank you, man. Thank you. What's up, Red Team?
I'm home. Thank y'all. We are so screwed right now.
Steve, back in line. Red Team, I suggest you get it together. Now piss off.
I survived to stay another day in Hell's Kitchen. That makes me extremely happy. But having Sterling off my team makes me even happier.
[laughs] I like to work as a team player. and Works smiling, because when you cook, when you cook happy, that's how your food come out. I feel an impending dread.
They can't never knock my smile. Sterling is going to be unbearable. I'm really motivated now, especially when they ain't never seen me cook.
They just assume. An assumption is always-- the assumption that always, always the fuckup when they assume something without knowing the true facts. Sterling, what are you talking about?
Like, really? I definitely feel that he doesn't take it seriously. It's only going to get worse from here.
[sighs] [wolf howls] NARRATOR: After a team shakeup, the chefs wake up ready to go wherever Hell's Kitchen takes them. Whoa. Whoa-oh.
Oh, shit. Ladies, let's go. Chef Ramsay is huge in and of himself.
But lo and behold, there's something bigger behind him. Good morning. ALL: Good morning, chef.
When I look at this map of Italy, I see more than just words. I see the very finest of ingredients, from the stunning San Marzano tomatoes grown in Campania up to the Gulf of Naples, where they transform those lemons into the delicious-- - Limoncello. GORDON RAMSAY: --limoncello.
That's right, Frank. And then just outside Rome, where olives are turned into the most delicate olive oil. Now, food is not the only thing Italy is famous for.
[opera singing] Yay, opera. I have no idea what these people are saying, but it sounds cool. [opera singing] [sings opera] [opera singing] Ah-ah-ah!
[applause] That's amazing. OK, Red Team, Blue Team, for today's unique challenge, you'll be cooking Italian food. Now, each of our gifted singers are holding a scroll with the name of an opera on that scroll.
You'll first choose a chef on the opposite team that you want to square off against. That chef will select one of our opera singers, who will reveal the dish on their scroll. Frank, who do you want to go up against in the Red Team?
FRANK: Hm. I'll go against Roe. Roe.
I moved out of Jersey to get away from boys like Frankie. But at the same time, who better to go against than my fellow countryman? Please, pick an opera.
"La boheme. " (SINGING) Cheese manicotti! GORDON RAMSAY: Frank, happy?
Oh, very much so, chef. Are you kidding me? I know the in and outs of the manicotti.
It's not a problem at all. GORDON RAMSAY: Sterling, who do you want to go up against? Bryant.
OK. He was one of the very first ones that throwed me under the chopping block. Beating his butt will make me feel so happy.
Great. Pick an opera. "Norma.
" (SINGING) Fettucine. Alfredo! [laughs] I love making different type of alfredos.
- Ashley. - Yes, chef. Who do you want to go up against?
- Fernando, chef. - Awesome. Pick an opera.
"Tosca. " (SINGING) Saltimbocca! Um, what?
I don't even know how to pronounce what I'm supposed to cook. It's some bucca or sotobucco. Good choice.
Jennifer. I'll go with Steve. Steve, pick an opera.
"Madame Butterfly. " (SINGING) Tortellini. OK, Santos.
Uh, I'm going to have to go with La Tasha, chef. Mistake of your life, Santos. Never challenge me.
Pick an opera, please. "O sole Mio. " (SINGING) Spaghetti alla-- (SINGING) Alla carbonara!
Aaron, obviously, you'll be going up against Sade. I get stuck with Aaron. Whomp, whomp.
Please pick an opera. "La villi? " (SINGING) Linguine vongole.
We have our match-ups. Ready for war, chef. Your 40 minutes starts now.
- Go. - Let's go, guys. Go, go, go.
C'mon. Let's go. NARRATOR: In this Italian cuisine challenge, the chefs will have just 40 minutes to be creative with six classic dishes, employing the finest ingredients-- So much to choose from.
You see any peas? NARRATOR: --and their knowledge of Italian cooking. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I suck at Italian food, but I definitely have to prove myself. So it's just veal and prosciutto. That's what mine is, right?
- Yes, ma'am. So I'll just fake it and try to make it. How is everybody looking, man?
Anybody in panic mode? I'm good. What can I help you with?
So far so good. Is your grill on? Yes, sir.
Sterling, just cook. You are nothing special until you prove you're special. GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go, Red Team.
RED TEAM: Yes, chef. Crack a couple eggs, toss it with the pasta. Yup.
Oh, it's beautiful. Oh, my god! Chef Ramsay really got us the best ingredients.
Uh-ho. [romantic italian music playing] Put them together, it's just like the beautiful marriage. I'm doing it the way my family does it-- with a crepe.
I mean, wow. That's nice. NARRATOR: While Frank is full of amore in the Blue kitchen-- That's beautiful.
I'm having issues, ladies. NARRATOR: --some heartache is being experienced in the Red kitchen. 20 minutes to go.
Halfway there, ladies, yes? RED TEAM: Yes, chef. I'm having issues.
My tortellini keeps exploding on me. Does anybody have a pastry brush? Over here on this pasta tray.
Coming down. Thank you. I'm like a little bit panicked that I might not get anything on the plate.
Just started you a fresh one. Sade? No way I have enough time for this, my Jenn.
Maybe you should put less filling. My dish is linguine frejo-- I don't even know how to pronounce it, and I'm not even sure if I'm going to make it. How was that for you, Jenn?
I am not happy. Just push. GORDON RAMSAY: 10 minutes, Red Team.
This time is flying. I just need everyone to bring it on home for the Red Team. Make it happen, baby.
You got this. That's me, baby. GORDON RAMSAY: Four minutes, Blue Team.
- Heard. - Heard. C'mon!
[claps] Start cooking that pasta. I got to cook pasta. Dammit.
I need more time. It's not right, and the clams aren't popped open for me, and it's not hot enough. 60 seconds to go.
Behind, behind. Coming down, coming down. - Come on, let's make it happen.
Now or never. Taste everything. It's a little too spicy.
It's good. It's good. GORDON RAMSAY: Five, four, three, two-- Fuck!
NARRATOR: --one. Plates up, guys. Let's go.
Now, I've invited a very special guest judge. Please say hello to the man who has helped lay the groundwork for great Italian cuisine in America-- Celestino Drgo. Wow.
Chef. [applause] Oh, boy. [laughs] We're having Mr Italy himself judges these dishes.
Let's start off, chef, with the tortellini. Let's go. I'm a little fucking nervous, but I am ready to take this boy down.
I made an eggplant and a little mozzarella tortellini. A little thyme, a little basil, a little rosemary that I bruised just to bring out some more of the flavor. - It's a nice broth.
- Mm, it's a lovely broth. - Yup. - I love the broth.
Thank you, chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Jennifer. I did a spiced pumpkin tortellini with a brown butter sage sauce and toasted hazelnuts on top.
Hazelnuts is a very nice touch. I like the idea of pumpkin around there. It's a very good dish.
Mm-hm. Red Team or Blue Team? I have to go with the Red Team.
Thanks, chef. [applause] Great start. Pleasure meeting you, chef.
I can't wait to see Steve later. I'm really just going to fucking grind that shit in. Saltimbocca.
Let's go. I pounded out the veal, wrapped it with prosciutto and fresh basil, and balsamic reduction. Why basal and not sage?
Um, I'm actually not sure. Please, Fernando. We have a pan-seared veal saltimbocca with sage and black olive puree.
Presentation is very nice. Still see the little sage kind of coming up. I'm glad you used the right herb.
Nice dish. I like it. Mm.
I love this dish. (SARCASTICALLY) Ooh, I'm in love with this dish. It's amazing.
Oh, wow. Thank you, chef. - That's Blue Team.
- Blue Team. [ding] Nice. Good work, Fernando.
Thank you. You suck, Fernando. The linguini vongole, please.
Let's go. NARRATOR: With the score tied, Sade and Aaron are each looking to impress and put their team ahead. Definitely need to be of, you know, the juice.
NARRATOR: But neither linguine vongole comes close to exciting Chef Drgo. I don't like the idea of the fennel. I would not pick any of these dish.
I mean, I just can't. NARRATOR: With neither team earning a point, the spotlight is now focused on the next pair of combatants. GORDON RAMSAY: Spaghetti alla carbonara.
It doesn't work for me. NARRATOR: Santos' dish underwhelms, and La Tasha's dish-- The ingredients are good. It's fantastic.
I have to go with the Red Team. NARRATOR: --is strong enough to put the Red Team back in the lead. How did I not get the fucking point?
Cheese manicotti. Let's go. NARRATOR: And now it's the battle of the two Italians, Roe versus Frank-- By the way, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. NARRATOR: --and their manicotti. I did a little bit of [inaudible],, pignolia nuts, raisins, and just the simple tomato sauce.
It's very tasty. It remind me my grandmother when used to make this. A rustic dish.
Roe, please. I did some hot sausage. There's grilled eggplant inside there as well.
Love the presentation, all the ingredients. They all make sense. If I have to eat right now, I have to pick one of them, Blue Team.
GORDON RAMSAY: Blue Team. - Woo! [ding] [applause] Thank you very much.
Good It's not over. Good job, Frank. [kisses] GORDON RAMSAY: 2-2.
And it all comes down to a battle of fettuccine Alfredo. Let's go. [applause] - Come on, Sterling.
- Bring it on. Bring it on, bring it on. My fingers are crossed.
Come on, Sterling. Pull it through for us. We need this win.
I took my basic alfredo and put a little twist in. I put some fire-roasted peppers. I think to show your personality on the dish, this is more like Southern ingredient.
It's hotter than I thought it would be. Bryant. I made an herb fettuccine pasta with lemon, thyme, basil, and parsley.
The vegetables and lobster meat. It's a little too much. I probably would not put so much of this stuff inside.
It's tied right now. Two to the Red, two to the Blue. If you were to choose the winner, is it a point to the Red Team or the Blue Team?
STERLING: I want the Blue Team to see that I am a force to be reckoned with. I just want to win. I have to go with the-- I have to go with the Blue Team.
Yes! Yeah! [applause] Excellent.
Thank you, chef. Sterling made a mistake going up against me. I definitely had this one in the bag.
Dang. I really wanted this challenge. Damn.
I'd like all of you to join me thanking Chef Drgo. ALL: Thank you, chef. [applause] - Thank you very much.
- Thank you so much. - Ciao. Ciao, chef.
Blue Team, congratulations. You are in for a spectacular day. First of all, you're all going to get amazing new outfits.
You are going to American Rag, where many celebrities go to shop. I don't think you should go shopping empty-handed. [cheers] Here, Frank.
Get over here. - Go get it! C'mon, move!
$3,000-- [cheers] Share it amongst yourselves. Whatever you do, I don't want to see a dime returned. Go, chef!
No problem! Thank you, chef. Seriously?
I love shopping. After shopping, you'll be having lunch at one of the finest Italian restaurants in America. You're going to Cecconi's.
Thank you, chef. Thank you, chef. Get upstairs, get changed.
Yes? - Yes, chef. - Thank you, chef.
- Right away. - Well done. Enjoy.
[cheers] $500 a piece? We're just killing that fucking Red Team right now. Good luck with Sterling.
- Another one, guys. Another one. Ladies and Sterling, you all are preparing for Italian night, which is tonight.
So obviously, I'll be making some adjustments to the menu. One of the items on the menu include a delicious squid ink tagliatelle. You'll be making this from scratch.
I want the squids broken down individually. I want you to carefully extract the ink sack, harvest the ink for the pasta. After that, I want the pasta made by hand.
Get out of here. I am sick of losing. [sighs] This is going to be a long-ass day.
[humming a tune] Hello, ladies. [gloating] Oh, wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold up, hold up. One, two-- - This is 5 for you. - All right.
This is my money. Yeah! From the looks of it, you need that shopping spree, gentlemen, so enjoy that.
[laughter] Yeah! We're shopping, baby! All right.
A'ight. Oh, dude, I like this. I'm kind of confused right now on what I should buy.
Luckily, we have Franky. Franky, this is fresh, yeah? Yeah, I like that a lot.
That's in. Huh? Do they have that in another color?
Franky, he definitely knows his clothes. Oh, these are beautiful. This is the ideal reward.
Oh, I like this. I could have spent, like, another, like, four or five hours in there. Where's Franky at?
[laughs] [laughs] Let's go. I need to let it down, let it out. [popping] Oh, man, fish into an open wound.
Gross. Ugh! - We save that, right?
- What's that? The ink part. Hell yeah, we save that.
I am up to my elbows in squid right now. I got squid bodies, squid tails, squid ink, squid guts. This is disgusting.
The hair got to come off of those bodies too. Punishment today. To me, it was my time to bond with the ladies in the kitchen.
Chef [inaudible]. You married, family, single, divorced? [inaudible]?
Sterling, you're asking way too many questions. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
Sterling, shut your mouth, go back to work. What, are you from here? We're not there to socialize.
Is that too much too? OK, just shut up. You single, married?
Psh. NARRATOR: While the women deal with the presence of Sterling-- Here we go. Nice.
Have a seat, boys. NARRATOR: --the men celebrate his absence. How pissed are the girls at Sterling right now?
Yeah, I know. Hey, I'm sure whatever they're having, it's 100. [laughter] Hey, I'll cheers to that one.
[laughter] We have a couple of pasta dishes. [gasps] [inaudible] Now, I know Italian food, but, I mean, this, it really-- my-- my taste buds are just like-- I-- I-- they're-- they're like-- [burps] excuse me. ANDREA CAVALIERE: Burrata with a panzanella.
Goat cheese and squash blossoms. [sighs] Uh-- oh, my god. Everything was, oh-- it was so good.
Famous ricotta, Sicilian cannoli. [kisses] [groan] I got to loosen a notch of the belt, guys. [laughter] GORDON RAMSAY: As the Blue Team fills up on Italian cuisine, the Red Team-- - Is this the fish station?
No, this is the meat. Fish is over here. NARRATOR: --has had their fill of Sterling.
That's hot apps, meat, garnish, fish. On the fish, it's talategle-- tala-- tagatelli and some-- and scallops and halibut. Sterling's making me a little nervous.
You know, he keeps asking us basic questions about stuff that he should know already. Keep the Parm in. We'll put the lemon zest.
- Yup. Put The Parm back over here. God, if this is how it's going to be now, I don't even want to know what dinner service is going to be.
What's this for anyways? You fucking kidding me right now? Sterling, if you ask me a question one more time, I'm coming over to your station and stabbing you in the neck.
So this is all risso, this is all cavatell. Well, what's this? You need to know this shit, and you need to know it now.
I got this. Sterling, you definitely got one chance. This feels like it's a mess.
It is a mess. Is it because of me? You must be able to execute tonight.
At this point, mistakes are not an option. - Good to see you. - Girls.
- How you doing? - Ladies. Ladies.
[blows raspberry] Whoop! The Blue Team is on a roll, and tonight it's Italian food. It's not that hard.
Let's go, B. Come on. One, two, three, Blue.
Blue! Blue. Ladies, Sterling, let's go.
Line up. Jennifer, line up, please. Let's go.
Quick. Welcome. As you all know, tonight is Italian night.
Tonight there is a VVIP. We have guests from the Italian consulate, including the consulate general. We are not going to screw up that table.
Blue Team will do the appetizers. For this table of five, Red Team, the entree. Clear?
ALL: Yes, chef. Tonight is all about confident cooking, right? ALL: Yes, chef!
Let's make it happen on the Italian night. ALL: Yes, chef! - Good.
get on your stations. Let's go, guys. - Marino.
- Yes, chef. Open the house kitchen, please. Let's go.
- Yes, chef. [inaudible] [music playing] NARRATOR: It's Italian night in Hell's Kitchen, and Chef Ramsay has created a special menu featuring a chicken saltimbocca, a strip steak alla Fiorentina-- You ready to order? Yes.
NARRATOR: --and a tableside clam cipollini. The consistency is not too brothy. NARRATOR: --served by Sade for the Red Team and Bryant for the Blue.
[speaking italian] Here we go. Blue Team, let's go. - Yes, chef.
Four covers, table 22. Two risotto, two cavatellis. BLUE TEAM: Yes, chef!
Let's go, Steve. Come on, let's go. And snap into it quickly.
Yes, chef! What the fuck am I cooking right now? Two risotto, two cavatelli, OK?
Capellini or cavatelli? Two cavatelli, yes? Steve is in La La Land on hot apps.
Get your ass into fucking high gear and fucking move on this now. Two cavatelli, one risotto working, yes? Yes, chef!
- Steve! - Yes, chef. You're so slow.
Where's the fire in your belly? You're not Points are you? Yes, I am, chef.
You're not into getting fast, are you? Hey, we're going Steve's time then, yeah? Any time, OK, chef?
No, chef. You send it when you're ready, Mr Shit Talk. Fuck me.
Where's your head, dude? Come on. You only have three hot apps.
- Walking, walking. Let's go then. Blue Team.
Yes, chef. Taste that. Salty, watery, not buttery.
Look, and it's liquid separated from the fucking rice. Come on, fix it, because this is embarrassing. Start over your risotto.
Yes, chef. NARRATOR: While Steve refires his first risotto-- Come on! NARRATOR: --over in the Red kitchen-- Scallops dropped for two risotto.
Heard it! NARRATOR: --Jennifer on appetizers seems determined to get her team off to a strong start. Three minutes on risotto.
Hey! I'm the only one that can get the kitchen off to a great start. Do you have scallops dropped for two?
Scallops are good to go. I'm walking in one minute. Drpping scallops.
Heard. OK, one minute. I'm definitely feeling confident.
I've been wanting to work hot apps for a while now. Scallops are coming out in 30 seconds. Let's go.
- One minute, chef. Yeah, I'm walking. Walking risotto.
Risotto's perfect. I'm having a blast on hot apps, especially risotto, because everyone fucks the risotto up around here. NARRATOR: While Jennifer and the Red Team push out appetizers-- Service, please.
NARRATOR: --back in the Blue kitchen-- Seven minutes and nothing's come out of this fucking kitchen. BLUE TEAM: Yes, chef. NARRATOR: --Steve is almost ready with his second attempt on his first risotto.
Going in 10 seconds, brother. 10 seconds, I can walk. Let's go, guys.
Risotto. Walking, walking. GORDON RAMSAY: Service, please.
OK, table one. NARRATOR: With appetizers finally leaving the Blue kitchen-- - Thank you, that looks nice. - Fantastic.
Thank you. NARRATOR: --it's now up to Bryant to keep up with his tableside clams. My name is Bryant.
I'll be making a delicious clam cioppino for you. Hi, how are you? Hi, Bryant.
Yay, Bryant! Oh, go ahead. BRYANT: I consider myself a people person.
I'm down to earth. I love conversating with people I don't know. I'll be making a mussel cippollini for you-- I'm sorry, a clam cip-- uh, cippolini.
Pardon me. [clattering] Ah! [sizzling] Ah, [exhales] this was more awkward than I had imagined.
NARRATOR: While Bryant tries to keep it cool and casual-- They'll be right to you nice, and hot, and fresh just for you. [laughs] NARRATOR: --Sade is working hard to stay in sync with the stream of appetizers leaving the Red kitchen. Walking up with scallops.
Cavatelli to the pass, chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Thank you. Service, please.
- Hi. Do you have clams? Yes, I have your clams.
I am falling a little bit behind. Excuse me. And working tableside by myself is not as easy as I thought it was going to be.
How nervous are you right now? Um, a little nervous. I won't burn you.
Don't worry. And you are almost set. [pans clattering] Oh, my god.
I am so sorry. MARINO: Sade. What is happening out there?
SADE: Just give me one minute. I'll clean that up. As I begin to plate, the pan slips from my hand and drops on the floor.
I am mortified. I apologize for the accident. I'm-- let-- let-- let us credit.
Did you get hurt? Did you get burned? - Let's go, guys.
Pick it up! [inaudible] I didn't get to that table yet. That one dropped.
I need time. C'mon, Sade. Fucking tableside is easy.
Don't tell me, hold back. I'm like, I ain't holding back shit, man. [scoffs] I'm going.
Let's go. Be careful. You almost burned the guest, OK?
NARRATOR: As Sade refires the clams under the watchful eye of Marino-- Sorry for the mishap. [chuckles] NARRATOR: --over in the Blue kitchen, it's now up to Frank on meat to pick up the pace on entrees. Slow, slow start.
I know, I'm going to pick this up for you. Four cavas table 12. Two chicken, two steak.
BLUE TEAM: Heard, chef! Let's go. I'm on meat.
I'm excited about it. I'm going to show them how meat is really supposed to be cooked. Franky, let me help you, brother.
I'm good. I'm good over here. I'm damn straight.
I just need to get this pan hot. Come on, man. Like, you don't even know what the fuck is going on.
You got two beautiful chickens? I got two gorgeous chickens. Hey, two chickens to stay, OK?
Yeah, I'm ready with them, baby. Hot pan behind you. Chicken?
Pop in the chicken. [inaudible] Chicken? Sauce?
Come on. Chicken got it. - Go!
- The chicken! Right here chef. Right here.
One or two chicken, chef? It's fucking raw. I'd like to see that.
No. No way, no way, no way, no way. Fuck off.
Stop. Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
- Wrong one. That's not the right one. I grabbed it from the wrong side.
- Look at that. - Come on. Look at that.
That's the state of where you are. There you go. Look.
Why would you bring that up, dude? And I'm watching Frank play the blame game. It's like, how do you do that to somebody?
There you go. Raw-- Come on, why would you bring that up? GORDON RAMSAY: --and overcooked.
- Fuck you. Dumb wits. Fuck off, will you?
I'm pissed. We just got to come back, we got to keep our heads high, just keep pushing, keep talking, and just fucking finish this shit. Come on, guys.
Let's talk. Frank, how long? Give me, uh, three minutes.
Three minutes heard. Two in the window. NARRATOR: While Frank starts over on the Blue team's first table of entrees, over in the Red kitchen-- The Italian Consulate-- two steak, one tagliatelle.
Five minutes. Five minutes to the pass. Yes, chef.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay is pushing for perfection. God help anyone that runs up cold veg, cold fucking pans. God help them.
NARRATOR: And the pressure is on Roe on meat and Ashley on fish to deliver. You're doing a tag with my two steaks, two chicken. You're going in four, I'm going in five.
Ashley got five, yes, yes? - I heard! I feel confident.
I've had a couple shaky services. Two steaks. Tagliatelle.
So this is redemption time for Roe. - I have two apps up. - Sterling, you ready to walk?
You want me to go with garnish? I'm ready to walk. Walking two steak for tag, yes?
Heard! Two steaks, chef. Tag's up.
GORDON RAMSAY: The fuck is going on here? Blue. Come on, Roe.
You're just throwing it up there like you don't care. Back in for at least another four minutes. It's fucking blue.
- Yes, chef. Yes, chef. - Hurry up.
Use your brain. And refire the tagliatelle. Come on, Ashley.
Everything was going great, and now I'm having to refire. So thanks for that, Roe. Come on, ladies!
You ready, tag? I'm ready to go. Ready to walk?
Behind, hot. [gasps] I saved the meat. [sighs] GORDON RAMSAY: Finally.
Yes. Finally, we are back. NARRATOR: Finally, the Red Team has delivered the entrees to the Italian Consulate.
Beautiful. NARRATOR: Meanwhile, over in the Blue kitchen, Frank is ready with his-- Two steak, two chicken in my hand, chef, right for you right now. Right behind you.
GORDON RAMSAY: Put the pan down. Fuck off. Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Service. Come on, guys. Away now, two tagliatelle, two steak.
Yes, chef. Two tagliatelle heard. Where did my sautee pan go?
Right here, right here. Because of Frank, I'm just going to get pummeled on with fish. So now it's just fire, fire, fire, fire.
How long? Two steaks, chef, right now. Who the fuck rolled this?
GORDON RAMSAY: Nice and moist. Steak's nice. Taligatelle.
Taglia how long? Taglia, how long? Hey, how long?
Aaron is having a very hard time communicating. How long? How long?
You know, he doesn't want help, I can't fucking help him, fuck off. Aaron! Aaron!
He's given up, this one. He needs fucking help there. You need more sauce.
It doesn't need to be more saucy. It just needs to coat the fucking pasta. It's like, guys, get the fuck off!
Too many hands, not enough pans. Aaron, right here behind you. I Got you.
What do you need, brother? What do you need? I don't, I don't.
- What do you need, Aaron? - I don't. Steve, go away.
And I've got Steve, like, trying to fucking push in on the station. Steve, get off the station. Steve, go away.
Go. Aaron, you fucking put your hands on me. That's-- I'm going to walk and knock you the fuck out right now.
Hey, fuckface. Hey-- Yes, chef. Fucking come here.
How long are you going to keep it all back? Get it together. Yes, chef, because this is embarrassing.
This is embarrassing. Behind with two tag in the middle. - Look at me.
- Yes, chef. Stand there in silence and say "fuck all. " Next time it's going to kick you out.
Yes, chef. Yeah, you're fucking running behind. Who should you be telling?
- Everybody, chef. Because they won't fucking slice the meat. Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Send that, James. NARRATOR: Despite Aaron's lack of teamwork and communication, entrees are making their way out of the kitchen to the dining room. Aaron, come on, boy.
NARRATOR: But on the Red side, one dish seems to be leaving the dining room and making its way back to the kitchen. It's the Italian Consul. Two glossy.
The Calamari are raw. Lack of flavor. GORDON RAMSAY: Raw calamari.
Fucking hell. Unbelievable. All of you, stop.
Yeah, all of you! Have I got news for you. Raw fucking calamari.
Touch them. Raw. Yeah.
Raw. Ashley, what is happening? Undercooked?
Seriously? That's from the Italian Consulate table. What is going on?
What in the fuck is going on? Any ideas now? All of you, get out.
Just leave me alone. Get out. Get fucking out.
Again? Fuck me. Get out!
Pathetic. What I've seen so far, the Red Team is kind of a let-down to me. It's just ridiculous.
Fucking shit. Last ticket. Come on, guys.
Move! All right. Garnish is walking, OK?
- Thank you. - You're coming with steaks? - Coming around.
Behind you. GORDON RAMSAY: There we go. Story of the night.
Tagliatelle? Give me a fucking time, you. 30 seconds, chef.
30 seconds. I don't hear anymore yelling over there at the Red Team, which means the girls just got kicked out. So we have to close this service down.
Behind, two tag. GORDON RAMSAY: Oh, my god. Man, that is extraordinary.
Happy now? - Yes, chef. Yeah?
Fuck it. You start slow, he sends raw food. Clear down.
- Yes, chef. Unbelievable. There are four words that you're not going to hear tonight.
The winning team is-- forget it. But there are some words you're going to hear-- undercooked, overcooked, dry, salty, lost, and fucking disorganized. I'm in shock.
I want two people from the Red Team and two people from the Blue Team that you would be better off without. Get out of here. ALL: Yes, chef.
Embarrassing. My team is fucking pathetic. It's sad.
They're falling apart at the fucking seams. People gotta start packing. Who are we thinking for elimination?
I'm going to go Ashley for one. Ashley. What are you thinking?
Ashley's the weakest right now. This is the first bad service that I've had. I want to be here.
I don't even want the quarter of a million dollars. I just want to work for Chef Ramsay. My second nominee is going to be Roe.
[scoffs] It's getting nit-picky, but I got to go Roe. I had one set of steaks come back tonight, y'all. The Red Team is intimidated by the fact that I did start out strong in this competition.
Drpping a pan in the dining room means nothing. I had a dropped pan. I don't think that I deserve to get put out because of that.
I mean, she didn't actually drop it on someone. Mm-kay. They are just eager to get me out of here before I come back on top.
I'm not going down without a fight. Did meat go down tonight? OK, meat didn't go down.
That's what I'm asking you. Did meat have a perfect service? Did any station have a perfect service?
[laughs] Roe's trying to con her way from being on the block. You started off really strong in your last few services-- And tonight wasn't strong? But you had mistakes.
You contradicted yourself. You said, you started out strong, you got weaker-- No, I said you started strong on the team. Can I finish talking before you-- Go ahead, but if you're going to repeat my words, say it right.
I got fucking pummeled on because apps were slow going out. I really wouldn't blame apps, I mean, just to justify what you're saying. Fish station today got fucked up.
Weakest chef, hands down, is Aaron. Fish station fuck us up tonight. The timings were all off.
But you know what? That doesn't fucking negate the service or the long ticket times that we had on apps. I really shouldn't be going up on that block again.
This is fucking bullshit. I think that it all started with chef being upset from the get-go that the apps and shit were fucked up. I'm not going back on the chopping block again tonight.
You had soupy risotto and long ticket times on capellini. Yeah, you did have a soupy risotto. You mixed up capellini and cavatelli.
The risotto was not soup, though. He yelled at you for it. No, I don't know what the fuck they're thinking trying to throw me on the chopping block.
That put us back for a minute, but we caught right back up. I think Frank should be on that fucking chopping block today. Frank fucking went down on his fucking face.
And every station Frank goes on he fucks up. He should be up there. Chef Ramsay stopped the service because of me, not because of my station.
Dude, I don't believe I should be up there. Every time he's been on meat, he's fucked up. One steak came back fucking raw.
I know for a fact when I fucked up I bounced back. Uncooked meat and overcooked chicken. That's not the chicken that I gave.
You guys gave me the chicken to bring up there. I never gave you the chicken. I never put my hands on that chicken.
I don't think I should be going up. [tense music playing] Seven services in, and still long-winded, painful, and dreadful performances. It was hardly lucky number seven, that's for sure.
Depressing. Red Team, have you reached a decision? RED TEAM: Yes, chef.
GORDON RAMSAY: Roe, who's first nominee? Ashley, chef. Why?
A general slowness and attitude and tonight's disaster. Second nominee and why? It's myself.
Yourself? Not my vote. Why?
She's been, like, down-sloping. Like, not doing good on challenges and like little hiccups here and there throughout all dinner services. (SIGHING) OK.
Blue Team, have you reached a decision? - Yes, chef. - Santos, first nominee and why?
Aaron, chef. On fish station tonight, we went to try to help him. He didn't want any help.
And to me, if you don't want help in this stage of the game, you're not a team player and you don't need to be on my team. Second nominee. Um, Steve, chef.
He just gets rattled. Inconsistency throughout services, chef. OK.
Ashley, Roe, Steve, and Aaron, step forward please. Steve, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I believe I have a lot of fight.
Tonight, it was because of meat and fish. It was nothing to do with apps, and I don't believe I should be up on this chopping block today. Aaron, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I have the conviction to take this all the way. Everybody has a bad day, and I know that tomorrow I will be better for it. I made simple mistakes that I can recover from.
Maybe. Ashley. Yes, chef.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I had one bad dinner service. All I want to do is work for you and with you.
I mean, granted, my mistakes are terrible, but I will work fish station every single day to fix my mistakes. Roe, it's the second time in a row that you're here. Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
I think the mistakes that I'd have to recook tonight were a smaller problem than a pan dropped in the dining room. It's not good enough. You started here, Roe.
When I stay in Hell's Kitchen tonight, chef, I can show you good enough. The person leaving Hell's Kitchen, Ashley. Give me your jacket, please.
Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity, chef. Good night.
I didn't expect to get eliminated tonight, because people have done way worse in this competition than I have. This is all I wanted to do. But I mean, Chef Ramsay obviously just thought that I wasn't good enough.
[sighs] And that's a terrible feeling. [sniffles] That's not all. [tense music playing] One more bit of business.
