NARRATOR: Eleven Seasons ago, in this restaurant, a culinary war began. And if you listen carefully, you can hear echoes of the carnage that has occurred through the years. Shut up!
Hit me! Let's go step outside. NARRATOR: Many battles have been waged.
You better get out of my face. Don't ever call me a [bleeped] again. Idiot!
God! [screaming] NARRATOR: But against all odds eleven incredible chefs-- GORDON RAMSAY: Hell's Kitchen winner Ja'Nel NARRATOR: Have risen from the trenches in victory. And tonight the battlefield comes alive once more.
Let's go. Keep going. NARRATOR: As 20 new recruits invade Hell's Kitchen.
I need us to work. You shut up. It can't cook any faster.
NARRATOR: In his endless quest for excellence, Get ready to fight for your place. NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay will find new ways to challenge these chefs. GORDON RAMSAY: Lights, ready tailgaters?
NARRATOR: But these chefs will find new ways to challenge Chef Ramsay. That's what we've been doing. You still haven't any idea what I'm talking about?
SCOTT: I do, Chef! NARRATOR: And for others, I want to eat you. NARRATOR: The pressure will be too great.
You're gone aren't you? You're just [cuckoo noise] gone. What a weird woman.
NARRATOR: Because these chefs It's like sabotage. NARRATOR: May be the most underhanded, GORDON RAMSAY: Come here. Are you trying to kill somebody?
Chef Ramsay is going to find out what's going on. Something's awry. NARRATOR: And they are the most aggressive group ever to enter Hell's Kitchen.
Guys, no! Do not hit him! Oh my god.
NARRATOR: The pain, No! NARRATOR: Will be unprecedented. I know how hard I'm trying and how much I want to be here.
NARRATOR: But so will the rewards. Welcome. This is awesome!
That was the best! NARRATOR: But only one chef will win the ultimate prize. In the most star-studded, I can't believe this is finally happening.
NARRATOR: Most vicious. [interposing voices] NARRATOR: Merciless, Move your ass! NARRATOR: Hell's Kitchen ever.
I know he's going to fire-- Stop yelling, stop yelling! I love you guys. What?
I love you, too, man. Pow, pow, pow. NARRATOR: As the legend of Hell's Kitchen continues to grow each year, so does the anticipation for the newest crop of chefs.
Gordon Ramsay's not on this bus right now as far as I can see. NARRATOR: But before they arrive, they have their first chance to meet their competition. DeMarco.
[interposing voices] I gave myself the nickname Culinary Jesus because I am perfect and awesome and I have many followers in the kitchen. We got to represent. So who else would have given their left leg just to meet Chef Ramsay?
First and foremost, me the southern belle. When you know you're going to win, you don't need anything else. No, no, no.
Jersey. I'm from the military. I'm hard core.
I usually sleep on roots and then wake up and kick ass, just like I'm going to do here. [cheering] Welcome. JP!
JEAN-PHILIPPE SUSILOVIC: Yes. I'm your maitre d', Jean-Philippe. And I would like to show you a few things quickly.
So let's go. [cheering] I'm obviously wicked excited. I'm ready to tear this up, get screamed at.
I want to start cooking. JEAN-PHILIPPE SUSILOVIC: Please, come on. GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go guys please.
Service, please. Hey, Blue team, let's go. Come on.
Last table. Pick it up. Let's go.
BLUE TEAM: Yes, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go guys, please. DEMARCO: Why are these people in my kitchen.
I need to be in there. GORDON RAMSAY: Blue Team. BLUE TEAM: Yes, Chef?
GORDON RAMSAY: Well done. Seriously, good job. This is crazy.
GORDON RAMSAY: I'm going to see our new arrivals, yeah. Here he comes. GORDON RAMSAY: Nice to see you.
Good to see you, buddy. Enjoy your dessert. Seeing Gordon, my legs became weak, I was like, Oh my god.
GORDON RAMSAY: Bon appetit? Yes? Nice.
OK. I decided to do a soft opening, to show each and every one of you what I expect. This is how I want Hell's Kitchen to run every single night.
Can you do that? CONTESTANTS: Yes, Chef. Me and Chef Ramsay are exactly the same person.
He's going to love me like any father would. This year's winner will have a head chef's position at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. But first, they'll have to survive Hell's Kitchen, right here in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world.
[music plays] I wasn't ready for this. What the fuck is going on? Almost fell.
Now that I've entertained you, it's time for you to entertain me. All of you, get in the kitchens and get your signature dish cooked. CONTESTANTS: Yes, Chef!
GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go. [music - hell's kitchen theme] GORDON RAMSAY: Idiots! Down, there stay where you are.
[screaming] Catch it! [police sirens] Let's go. Let's go.
Create something stunning. NARRATOR: After a Hollywood welcome to Hell's Kitchen, it's time for the chefs to get down to business. It's time to get serious.
NARRATOR: They have 45 minutes to prepare their signature dishes. It's the first team challenge and the teams are once again men versus women. Ready to kick the guys asses, girls?
Let's kick some blue team ass. GAURAV: It's a brand new environment so my first concern is, guys, please be safe. You've got to say something when you're coming in hot, Richard.
I'm not sure if these other guys are qualified enough to be walking around the kitchen. Okey dokey let's go Pinocchi. Got to get my meat done.
Come on. GORDON RAMSAY: Ladies, you've got 10 minutes to go. Is that your protein there?
Yes, Chef. And it's not cooked yet? No, Chef.
I'd move my ass if I was you. Yes, Chef. I liken Chef Ramsay to a teddy bear.
So every time he's screaming I'm going to tell myself teddy bear, teddy bear, teddy bear. Gentlemen, two and a half minutes to go. BLUE TEAM: Yes, Chef.
- On a burner. Go on a burner. Ain't gonna get hot in the face.
Go on a burner. I bring a little bit of cockiness in the kitchen at 48. I'm not too scared of young people.
I'm sure people like to get this old guy ain't going to be able to handle it. But I'm going to bring it. Behind you, dude, behind you.
Nice rack. GORDON RAMSAY: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And stop.
Right, listen carefully. Today not only are you making an impression on me, but you're going to be making your first impression on Los Angeles. That's right.
GABRIEL: Where the fuck did all these people come from? Uh, I didn't cook that much food. GORDON RAMSAY: Thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat. I've invited all of you here to announce this year's winner will have a head chef position at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. But first, they will have to survive Hell's Kitchen, right here, in Los Angeles.
Wow. I'm from L. A.
I need to represent. Now this fabulous opportunity comes with a salary of a quarter million dollars. Quarter-million dollars!
I'll take it. OK, chefs. It's time to impress L.
A. Let's go. NARRATOR: First up in the signature dish challenge, New Jersey head chef Anton hopes to impress Chef Ramsay with his unconventional surf and turf.
This is a seared pork chop, topped with a crab meat crust. So your pig's got crabs. However, it actually tastes delicious.
NARRATOR: Now, Las Vegas showgirl turned cook, Simone, looks to dazzle Chef Ramsay with her slightly more traditional take on pork. This is actually a pork chop, a very large pork chop. Protein's cooked beautifully.
Thank you, Chef. But, it looks slightly clumsy. Congratulations to the men.
Good job. Well done. Chef Ramsay thought it was delicious , which, he was right.
[interposing voices] NARRATOR: Next, recent culinary school graduate Nicole faces off against sous chef Jason. Do I recognize you? We might have met before, maybe on season 9.
Last time I was on Hell's Kitchen, I'm all right. You don't really sound all right. JASON: I got a little dehydrated.
It sucked. Didn't even make it through the first dinner service. But I'm back totally hydrated, ready to go.
Welcome back. Thank you, Chef. Jason, what is that?
We have a seared and braised wild salmon with mushroom and vegetable medley. Seasoned beautifully. I mean the dish tastes delicious.
Thank you, Chef. Young lady, name, where you're from and why you think you're so special? My name is Nicole.
I'm from Staten Island, New York. What makes me so special is that I'm very passionate, driven. And are you always this quiet?
I'm a little bit shy, yes. Why the fuck did you come into Hell's Kitchen? Nicole, your dish.
What is It Here you go, Chef. I have a halibut with a lemon herb butter sauce. The dish resembles you to a T.
Boring. Congratulations to the men. Two in a row.
Well done. Boring? Fuck you, you don't even know me.
NARRATOR: Next up is Chris, a Las Vegas dinner theater chef. I've been to a lot of those shows and the food, generally, sucks. However, corn hen, it's cooked beautifully.
NARRATOR: Joy, a kitchen supervisor from Philadelphia, hopes to upstage Chris with her chilled corn soup. It's like runny, cold, scrambled eggs. With someone's vomit on the bottom.
Congratulations, hands down a win. Well done. I'm sorry you guys.
NARRATOR: Southern girl Kashia hopes to get the women on the board and shut down Mike from the Jersey Shore. I have a New York strip with a blue-cheese crab butter. That steak's delicious.
Tortellini, what's inside the filling? It's just a cheese. It's a packaged tortellini, fresh tortellini.
Packaged fresh tortellini? That's how it's sold, Chef. Please tell me you used fresh tomatoes.
They were canned tomatoes. Come on. That was a joke.
GABRIEL: His whole meal came out of a box. Who does that? You know, you're cooking for Chef Ramsay.
Congratulations, that was delicious Well done, ladies. Thank you! GORDON RAMSAY: Next two dishes.
Let's go. I'm a little insulted. It's not like it's packaged dog food.
Fuck it that's bullshit, bro. Come here, you. What did you just say?
Yeah, OK. If you've got anything to say to me say it to my face not my back. You got it, Chef.
Now fuck off. AUDIENCE: Yeah. NARRATOR: With the women down by two, Los Angeles line cook Melanie is hoping to cut the men's lead even further.
Scallops are cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. NARRATOR: As she faces off against an executive chef from Chicago, Richard.
We have a pan roasted sea bass. This is absolutely delicious. Two very good dishes.
It's a difficult one. But congratulations young lady. Good job.
Well done. NARRATOR: Next up, Bev, a food truck chef, tries to keep the women's comeback going with her fish tacos. That, young lady, is absolutely delicious.
NARRATOR: Her opponent is French trained executive chef, Gabriel, and his stuffed chicken breast. I lived in France for three years. And I never ever saw shit like this in France, let me tell you.
Congratulations, young lady. Yeah! The women, my god, you've rallied back.
Let's go. Young man, first name? Gaurav.
GORDON RAMSAY: Gaurav. - Gaurav - What is that? Tuna steak crusted in a little African dukkah spice.
After taking first bite of my dish he's going to be in that orgasm. Like the zen mode. It's dreadful.
What a big disappointment. NARRATOR: With Gaurav of missing the mark, Sandra from New York has the chance to give the ladies their first lead with her pan-seared cod. If I ate that, it would back me up like an L.
A. fucking freeway. None of you a point.
Disgusting. NARRATOR: With the score still tied, Louisiana line cook, Beth, hopes to tip the scales with her fried catfish against Pennsylvania sous chef, DeMarco. GORDON RAMSAY: Catfish cooked perfectly.
Young man, what is that? It's ricotta gnocchi. They're doughy, they're undercooked.
The point goes to ladies. Good job. Next, let's go.
Hello. My name is Rochelle. OK, well first of all.
What is so funny? I don't know. I think I laugh a little bit when I'm nervous.
I'm definitely nervous and very excited for Chef Ramsay to try my food. It is a sauteed chicken. It's something my mom growing up so it's something that stuck with me.
It definitely stuck with me but all the wrong way. OK, young man. My name's Ralph.
I'm special because I have a spark in my ass and-- You should get something to look at that. OK, so this is a-- New England lobster dinner. The actual lobster is cooked perfectly.
Point goes to the men. Congratulations. Well done.
NARRATOR: Ralph gives a little spark to the men's team. And it's all tied up. - Way to go.
Next, please. Let's go. And as it often happens on Hell's Kitchen, it all comes down to the last two chefs.
Right, young lady, name? My name is Jessica and today's my birthday. Your, dish, what is it, please?
A rosemary crusted venison loin, with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts. Venison is one of the most difficult proteins to cook. And you absolutely nailed it.
Well done. This is? A little light fennel dusted rack of lamb.
I am very risk-taking taking on lamb but I've got pure confidence the Chef Ramsay's going to love my dish. You have the most stunning and most expensive cut of lamb anywhere in the world, and yet you've just managed to fuck it completely. Congratulations, ladies, good job.
Happy Birthday. I just won the challenge. For the whole girl team.
That, young lady, was an amazing job. It's better than an orgasm. GORDON RAMSAY: Ladies, I have an amazing dinner planned for all of you.
- Oh my god. GORDON RAMSAY: And it's going to take place at my restaurant, right here in Los Angeles. Ladies, head up to the dorms.
Oh my god. First of all, cannot wait to eat. Come see your new crib ladies!
Second of all, with Chef Gordon Ramsay. I'm getting in the middle! Third of all, ladies rule, boys drool.
We're the ones that kicked ass today. Men, trust me all of you are in for a tedious night. I want the dining room back into shape, ready for our big opening.
I can't wait to get in the dining room and clean up and be side scrubbing the tables down. It's going to be really exciting. We're not starting off on a good note, guys.
NARRATOR: While the men prepare for a long night of cleaning up Hell's Kitchen, the ladies arrive at Gordon Ramsay's Los Angeles restaurant. Welcome. Come and take a seat, please.
His restaurant was absolutely beautiful. I love the atmosphere. It's kind of home-style.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ladies, dive in. Come on. [interposing voices] GORDON RAMSAY: For one of you, winning Hell's Kitchen is a real possibility.
How does that sound? What do you think? [interposing voices] GORDON RAMSAY: You ladies are This, I'm just done right now.
No, come on. NARRATOR: I kind of want to poke him. It's an amazing evening.
Being able to spend time with him, have some drinks. Getting to see the real Chef Ramsay, in just regular street clothes was very hot. But don't tell him that.
Can we just do a toast, to the boys. Well, guys, this is my workout now. DEMARCO: Mike is just standing around, like, watching us.
Like, you know, get to fucking work. Like, we're trying to get out of here. I feel like it's just certain people are carrying the tables.
You know what I mean? I'm sweating my ass off. We should stop that shit right now, dude.
And get on the tables, man, and knock that out first. Mike's fucking lazy, man. We're moving tables and you want to vacuum.
If you can't be a team player, why are you here? Come on Mikey, man. Let's get some tables, baby.
Nobody jumped on the vacuum. Grab a corner. Four people on a corner.
Let's go. Fuck this. JEAN-PHILIPPE SUSILOVIC: Uh, big boy.
Oh no, no, no. CHRIS: Mike, you don't walk out on a punishment. Sorry.
That shit doesn't fly. Where's Mike? NARRATOR: As their first full day in Hell's Kitchen dawns.
The chefs awaken early to prepare for tonight's grand reopening. Let's go. NARRATOR: And receive the tools they'll need for success.
We provided you with your own J. A. Henckels knife sets.
Wow. They're gorgeous. Thank you, Chef.
There you go. Sharp as hell too. They are sick.
Oh my god. If I could marry an inanimate object, I would marry Henckel knives. I love them.
That's me. I'm weird. I love them.
NARRATOR: With new knives in hand, the blue team looks to rebound from their signature dish challenge loss. Feeling good. Feeling confident.
Trying not to be cocky about it but throw a rock out with my crock pot out. NARRATOR: In the red kitchen the women look to continue their winning ways. You're going to leave the butter here to melt like that.
Ugh, girl. I've got to do it again. Hey, put it down here.
OK, look, no, no, no no, no, no. Nicole, to me seems a little on the weak side. And you scare me a little because you're quiet.
You're very passive. I'm like I'm wondering what you're thinking. I'm going to explode that's what I'm thinking.
Quiet ones are the ones you've got to worry about. Have you heard that expression? But she's all dark and kind of weird which I'm a little bit worried about.
So we'll see. GORDON RAMSAY: Ah, gents. Let's go, ladies.
RED TEAM: Yes, Chef. OK, mon ami, Open Hell's Kitchen. Yes, Chef.
Let's go. NARRATOR: It's opening night in Hell's Kitchen. GORDON RAMSAY: First table's arriving guys.
NARRATOR: And excitement is in the air for both the new chefs, and the diners who have had the good fortune of securing one of the most difficult reservations in the city of L. A. I think I'm going with the pan-seared tuna.
NARRATOR: In addition to the classic menu, Chef Ramsay has added a table-side Caesar salad. The red section of the dining room will be served by Melanie from Los Angeles. And the blue section will be served by Chris from Las Vegas.
First table in, Chef. OK, here we go, red team, first ticket on order for table 31 two Caesar's salad, special, two scallop. RED TEAM: Yes, Chef.
Let's go. The scallops are her, right? No, no, no.
We're cooking her scallops. Me and Nicole are on fish. And she's totally lost.
You remember everything he called? No. As soon as the first order drops, she's like I can't do this.
I can't do that and I don't understand this and I don't understand that. I'm dropping the scallops now. I don't have time to babysit her tonight.
You look good, girl. That one's got a little brown a little bit. NARRATOR: While Joy takes charge of the fish station.
Walking with scallops in one minute. NARRATOR: Over in the blue kitchen, the men. OK, blue team on order two Caesar salads, special table-side, one scallop, one risotto.
Yes? BLUE TEAM: Yes, Chef. NARRATOR: Are eager to get their first appetizers to the pass.
Four more minutes. Feeling the heat. This is the time for me to show what I am capable of, what my talents are, the whole G-pack.
That's three minutes. Give it a second. Give it a second.
Yep, I've cooked risotto like a billion times. To be honest, it's not that tough. How is that lobster tail?
I'm ready. Risotto going to the pass. Risotto goes to the pass.
Scallops in the window, Chef. Good job, team. Good job, good job.
NARRATOR: GORDON RAMSAY: Hey, all of you come here. Soup, like liquid. Runny liquid.
It's so fucking runny you can't even spot the fucking rice in there. Men here, hey. You as well.
What do you think of that lobster tail? DeMarco, it just looks nasty. Shriveled, rock hard, it's like a fucking golf ball.
Then here, scallops come up, beautifully seared-- I was like yes! On one fucking side. Look.
How opposite can one scallop be? Get a fucking grip. Let's go.
Wake up. NARRATOR: While Gabriel, Gaurav, and DeMarco start over on their appetizers. Two scallops coming, Chef.
NARRATOR: Back in the red kitchen, Scallops, Chef. NARRATOR: Joy has promptly delivered her first two orders of scallops. I'm about to walk with the risotto.
Who cooked the scallops? Me, Chef. Yeah, come over, let's go, Joy, speed.
Just touch them. Huh? They're rubber.
I'll re-fire. Every time you fuck up scallops, I've got to re-fire the whole fucking risotto. You know how long that takes?
OK? I'll go re-fire another one, Chef. That's exactly what you're going to do.
That's another two, by the way. Yes, Chef. Nicole can you help us with these scallops?
NARRATOR: While Joy tries to get her station partner Nicole involved, in the blue kitchen-- Risotto going out right now. NARRATOR: Gaurav is hoping his second attempt at risotto will be up to Chef Ramsay's standards. Chef Ramsay's at the pass and he's swirling at it, looking at it.
Oh god. GORDON RAMSAY: Gaurav. Comes right back around.
Way too much pepper in that. Just too hot. It's a fucking risotto not a vindaloo.
Yes, Chef. I love black pepper in my risotto. Just for the records.
NARRATOR: While Gaurav learns the differences between his way and the Hell's Kitchen way, Going to be very gentle on it, sir. NARRATOR: Back on the red side, - Hold on. You can see it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. NARRATOR: Joy and Nicole are determined to put out perfect scallops. Pull it off the heat.
Pull it off the heat. All right. These are overcooked.
We need to fire another scallop, Chef. Then I need the other one right? Coming, Chef.
Where's the other scallops? Coming up, Chef. One minute, Chef.
It's the same table how can it be a minute behind? I messed up the other scallops, Chef. Fucking hell.
JOY: We can't fuck up anymore scallops. This is it. I'm done.
Fuck the scallops. I'm done. That's it.
Fuck that. I'm done with scallops. I'm done with the fucking scallops, man.
I'm fucking done. One thing I don't do is give up. And one thing I can't do is work next to somebody who is going to give up.
I'm done, girl. That's it. I'm done.
GORDON RAMSAY: Are you OK? - Yeah. I'm OK, Chef.
- You're sure? Yes, Chef. The attitude stinks.
If you don't put any effort into it, do me a favor take that apron off and fuck off home. Yes, Chef. Extraordinary.
Yeah. Fuck you, yeah. - Don't worry about it.
We're going to finish this. We're coming back believe it or not. NARRATOR: It's 45 minutes into dinner service and not a single appetizer has left the kitchen.
Ah should we go make this ourselves, or what? NARRATOR: In what is shaping up to be one of the worst starts to an opening night. Back in the red kitchen, Sandra, let me know when you're ready for me to fire the scallops, please.
NARRATOR: Joy and Sandra are having a difficult time getting on the same page. JOY: How much longer? Trust me I will tell you when I'm a few minutes out because that's all you need to sear frickin' scallops.
I'm about to fire these scallops now. You have to wait till I am ready to give you a time you can drop your god damn food. Oh, mind you so you can screw it up and I got to re-fire mine, again.
Two Caesar salad, one risotto, one scallops, how long? I need two minutes on the scallops and I'm off. I'm going to need like five minutes.
She says five. She's not even talking to you. I need five minutes.
Hang tight, It takes a minute. Why is she fucking me like this? - Hey, Joy?
- Yes, Chef. Have you given up? No, Chef.
What did I just say there? Chef, can you run the order back to me, please? Oh my gosh.
She's already crying, screaming. Relax, girl. Relax.
Joy, please, calm down. Get it together. Relax.
NARRATOR: As the bad news continues to pour into the red kitchen. I'm pulling the scallops now. NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay shifts his attention back to the blue kitchen.
How long for the risotto? Risotto two more minutes, Chef. NARRATOR: Desperate to witness something, There's nothing coming out!
NARRATOR: Anything positive. There's nine of you fucking standing there playing with yourselves. Oh, no.
Hey, you. Hey. Come here, you.
We do not stick our fingers in the fucking food, lick it, and then go back inside. What is this? - Sorry, Chef.
Does anyone have any respect for the customers sitting behind me? - I'll get a grip, Chef. Don't worry about getting a grip.
Next time, you're out. Are you kidding me? You're going to not take my risotto because I check the rise rice and then finally clean my finger with my tongue?
Get it together. Yes, Chef. NARRATOR: While Gaurav is given one last chance to clean up his act, I say, like five more minutes.
NARRATOR: Back in the red kitchen. I'm walking with the scallops. Ready when you are.
NARRATOR: Joy is still trying to open up communications with JOY: Sandra? Am I ready to go with these scallops? Sandra's killing me.
She wasn't talking to me at all. Am I ready to go with the? I want to get this right.
It just takes too long to refire. JOY: I'm gonna go by myself. You going to start crying now?
JOY: I need you to say my name. I can't hear anything. Joy.
JOY: Thank you or Nicole. - Drp the scallops. Are you ready for me to drop the scallops?
I need like another minute. I don't need you to be a smart-ass, I need us to work. [interposing voices] The fuck are you yelling at?
Calm the fuck down. It's just embarrassing. It's like hens in a hen house.
It's like [chicken noises]. Don't get fucking wise with me. Hey, hey, stop it.
All of you come here. All of you. Sandra and Joy what's going on with you two?
[interposing voices] GORDON RAMSAY: We need to get going. RED TEAM: Yes, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Put your differences aside and communicate with each other.
RED TEAM: Yes, Chef. NARRATOR: While a communication breakdown has brought the red kitchen to a halt, Come on ladies, we've got to pull it together or we're going to get our asses kicked out. NARRATOR: Back in the blue kitchen, Risotto by itself.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay has a question for DeMarco and Gabriel. - Where's the lobster? - I'm ready.
Want it? No, no, no, no, leave it. Put it back in there.
Put it back in. DeMarco, you got to be a fucking idiot. I'm not sending out raw lobster.
Is it cooked? Yes, good to go. Lobster tail, Chef.
Hey, DeMarco. It's overcooked. It's like a fucking bullet.
Come here, you. Oh, shit. This can't be happening.
Not again, man. Just touch it. Yes, Chef.
I'll get you another one right now. GORDON RAMSAY: So he has the risotto ready and then you give him a big bowl of elastic band, supposedly a lobster. Fuck off DeMarco.
DEMARCO: Gabriel. Come one, dude. If you just let me do it, they'd be fucking perfect.
Wake up, you. DEMARCO: Yes, Chef. - Wake up.
- Yes, Chef. NARRATOR: While DeMarco starts over on the lobster, in the red kitchen, Sandra is finally communicating. SANDRA: Walking in like 10 seconds with this risotto.
Why wouldn't you tell me? I keep screaming that I'm walking with it for like a minute. GORDON RAMSAY: Scallops!
- Let's go! - Coming right now, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Lobster!
That lobster tail should've been done. Walking with risotto. Where's the lobster?
Coming right now, Chef. Lobster, drop a lobster, Joy. Stop right there.
Did you say drop the lobster? Yes, I did, Chef. Come here, you two.
You, come here. The lobster is not even in. How long is it going to take you to cook that lobster tail?
- 45 seconds, Chef. - Really? Yes Do you know what?
Get me lobster cooked in 45 seconds. Your time starts now. Good luck, best wishes.
15 seconds gone. The pressure is on. Come on.
30 seconds gone. Just like, oh, my gosh, cook faster. 40 seconds gone.
Time. Here we go. Cold.
Touch it in the middle. Cold and raw. Oops.
Chef, I did not hear from risotto. You didn't hear. The communication is fucked up.
Communication, yeah, it's really fucked up. Let me communicate something really clear to you, you, you fuck off upstairs. I'm done.
Get out. Hope you heard that one. My beautiful risotto's fucking sitting there and the first thing they do is they tell Gordon Ramsay, oh well she didn't tell us when to do it.
You all think it's cool throwing me under the bus after you nod to me? Both of us, all of us, [interposing voices] I didn't say nothing? I've been fucking calling it for the past four fucking minutes.
Sandra-- Fuck that shit. NARRATOR: While the ladies continue team building upstairs, Oh, whatever. NARRATOR: Downstairs, DeMarco and Gabriel hope they finally have a dish worthy enough for Chef Ramsay.
Scallops in the window, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Big boy, come here you. All of you just touche the scallops.
They're bullets, they're rubber bullets. Look at the color of them. That's overcooked rubber shit.
What are you two doing? Fuck off out of here. Get out.
All of you, get out. I'm done. We got kicked out of the kitchen.
It's really fucking frustrating. Chef, can I stay? Get out.
NARRATOR: With all of the men kicked out of the kitchen, GORDON RAMSAY: How long? 30 more seconds, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Let's go, then.
If they're ready, I'll take them. OK, yes, Chef. NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay turns to what's left of the women to save opening night.
GORDON RAMSAY: They're rubber. Way, way overcooked. Who cooked them?
Bev, started them, I finished them. Just touch them. They're rubber.
They're bouncing. They bounce. This is the worst opening night in the history of Hell's Kitchen.
Get out. - Yes, Chef. - Jean-Philippe?
Oui, Chef? I cannot stand the embarrassment any longer. Shut it down.
Tonight, we couldn't even get the basics done. Red team, blue team, get upstairs and amongst yourselves come to a consensus, which two individuals you want to put forward for elimination. Fuck off, will you?
JOY: The weakest links tonight were me, myself, Nicole, and Sandra. But I didn't fly clear across the United States to go back home after a day. This started with the hot apps and scallops because the issue there was we never knew when to fire scallops.
I had two of you on the station. So if I told one of you, you guys didn't tell each other either. But that's you not taking responsibility for anything.
Own up to your fucking mistake. Don't go, oh well, she you know. Get the fuck out of here.
I'm so mad right now. So who are you picking? I'm going to say G.
The fingers where the big issue for me. Putting your fingers in there, eating it with your hands that's disaster, man. GAURAV: We all have put fingers in the food.
We all have done it. Tell me the second person. ANTON: Along with the risotto being crap, a lot of lobster came out like you know, it was horrible at first.
I got held up. We were on the station together and like, Gabriel was a fucking disaster. I got to go G-baby and Gabriel man.
DEMARCO: I agree. And look man you know, I know I fucked up a lot but your lobster was the worst. You know, I mean you really screwed up tonight.
So I'm going to go with D an G, man. Gabriel and DeMarco on the fish station just couldn't get it together. But it's hard to say who's responsible.
JASON: What the fuck do we do? This sucks. JOY: Nicole, we were at that station together.
But I felt like you left me. NICOLE: I wouldn't say that Joy. I'm done, that's it.
Fuck that. I'm done with the scallops. You said I'm done with this shit and you walked to the back.
Listen, I don't give a fuck how frustrated I got, how many fucking, listen! Listen to me! Yes you did.
Yes you did. Anton, who is the men's team's first nominee and why? It's G, because of the amount of mistakes.
Second nominee and why. DeMarco. He just didn't have that energy.
He didn't have that passion to try to fight back. Kashia first nominee and why? Our first nominee will be Sandra.
Basically the bout was all wrong with the fish station and the app station. Second nominee and why. Second nominee was Nicole because she was over the scallops.
And her attitude was just very horrible. Nicole, Sandra, Gaurav, DeMarco, step forward please. Nicole, is there a desire or a passion that you got inside?
Yes, sir, Chef. So where is it? Are you done?
No, after tonight, no way. After tonight, yeah. If there is another night.
Sandra. Tell me why you think you deserve to stay. I followed directions tonight.
And I was very verbal and I babied the fish station. Every 30 seconds I would tell them what to do, because they kept asking me how long. I said, just give it a second I will let you know when I'm-- he asked me a question.
I'm four minutes. I'm three minutes. I'm two minutes.
Did you hear me? Yes. Maybe the other one didn't but that's not my problem after I give your station your time.
Gaurav. Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I think I have all the talent, the passion, the desire, the attitude.
You forgot the fingers. DeMarco. I was paired with somebody tonight and we didn't communicate properly.
I mean we had a system and-- Yeah, a system of fucking up. My decision is Gaurav, give me your jacket. I have got nowhere else to go with you.
And I've barely met you. Good night. Sorry, Chef.
I definitely do not think that I'm the worst chef in that group of 20 people, definitely not. I understand that I tasted the food by my fingers but everybody does it. All of you listen very carefully.
Get serious and get some sleep because all of you right now are running the first mile of the marathon that is Hell's Kitchen. Now fuck off. To everybody because it's going to be me at the end of the day.
This is no joke anymore. It's time to prove to the world that I'm the real deal. It's time to take the gloves off and just fucking throw down.
I came here to fight and then more my team's going to fuck with me the more I want to gut it out. GORDON RAMSAY: There's so many things about India that I love. It's a shame, Gaurav, isn't one of them.
