[Gordon introduces the runner ups from past Hell's Kitchen seasons who will be competing against the current season's Black Jackets]
From Hell's Kitchen Eight: Russell!
[Flashback to several scenes from Season 8, including an interview where Russell takes his loss in the finale badly.]
(interview from Season 8) I chose the team that I wanted and I thought they would help me win, and I'm definitely going to black ball you guys, because you guys fucked me so royally.
[In the present, Gordon greets Russell]
Russell, good to see you.
Christina Wilson
(interview) I remember Russell for sure. What a fucking ass. I don't care what station he's on tonight. I hope it burns down. I hope he goes down harder than anyone on that team.
Away now, first entrée: One arancetti, two filet, one chicken parm! (to Dana) How long?
(pause) I need six minutes.
(interview) I'm focusing on searing the hundred orders of filet that I have coming in. It's a lot of meat, so I'm a little concerned. And by a little, I mean a lot.
[to Dana] Stop! Stop, you! Stop! All of you, come here! (shows everyone Dana's burnt pans) Come here. (to Christina) Talk to me. What do you think?
Christina Wilson
Obviously, the pan got too hot, chef.
(to Barbie) Go on then, "chef."
It's burnt, chef. (interview) Dana has two filets, and they are black as night. Everything in the pan was black.
Oh, fuck off, the lot of you, WILL YOU?
(interview) FUCK! I should've just thrown them out!
[Finalists Christina and Justin have just finished their final service and standing in front of Ramsay, along with their teams.]
That was an amazing service, you know that. That was amazing. Really good job.
[Everyone applauds.]
Christina Wilson
Thanks so much, guys. Seriously.
Really good job indeed. And on the back of that, I'm changing things: For the first time ever, I've decided to do away with the whole two-door thing, because I'm ready to decide a winner. The winner of Hell's Kitchen is... Tavon.
[everyone laughs]
Christina Wilson
SHUT UP!
[Flashback to Tavon, who was the first contestant to be eliminated this season]
On order, table 30, two snapper, two tuna, two wellington!
Kristin, call back that order!
Call back that six order! Quiet, everybody!
Two special, two tableside, two risotto... ah! (looks terribly confused) Two... two wellington. [smiles nervously]
It's not funny. I'm just...focusing on a hundred things right now.
(to Kristin) This is not 'funny. I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
I'm done with you! [calls the entire team] Come over, you!
(interview) Kristin, stop standing there like [acts funny] "Uh-duh-duh-duh-duh".
(to Sous-chef Christina) Christina, write that ticket on her fucking back.
Christina Wilson
Kristin!
[to Meese as she walks to the pass] Behind you.
Christina Wilson
Get up here!
Christina Wilson
Turn around. [writes the orders on Kristin's back]
(interview) Oh, my God, what is happening right now? Why are you writing on my chef's coat?
Christina Wilson
Do not let her forget what's on that table.
[Sous-chef Christina goes up to the dorms and gathers the Red team, but Gordon stops them once they get to the kitchen]
Christina Wilson
Chef wants you now. Pick it the fuck up! You guys can thank the blue team later for finishing service.
[stops to call the entire team at the pantry] Stand there, all of you! Unbelievable! Tonight, you've got completely dominated in service. Get upstairs and think of two individuals who your team would be stronger without. Is that clear?
[During prep; Sous Chef Christina has the Red Team go over "The List" while she goes out]
Christina Wilson
Get your top kit set.
Christina Wilson
Make a list of everything you don't need.
(interview) Every kitchen has a prep list. Normally we don’t title the list... we just know it’s the list.
Okay, this is the list. I'm gonna put "The Fucking List".
(interview) Jackie wrote "The F-ing List". Like... why would you write that?
[Christina sees Jackie's handwritten list at the workstation]
Christina Wilson
(to Kristin) "The Fucking List?"
The fuck– I didn't write that. So respectful, right? (interview) What are you thinking, Jackie? Disrespect like that does not fly anywhere.
Christina Wilson
(to Jackie) Is this you? It's disrespectful, is what it is. NEVER AGAIN I SWEAR TO GOD!!! If any--(Jackie starts to say something; Christina then points on her) SHUT UP!!!
(interview) She did not think that was very funny.
Christina Wilson
[holds Jackie's list] If any of this happens in this kitchen again, the fucking list, whoever writes it will be finishing "The Fucking List"!
It wasn't disrespecting you.
Christina Wilson
You just interrupted me. Take a seat! (letting Jackie to sit on a chef's table) Have a seat and sit down. Just sit down! Never again! It’s a professional fucking kitchen! You would be FIRED if you-if you worked for me! You want to have a (notices Jackie shrugging)—OH, YOU DON'T CARE?
Christina Wilson
YOU DON'T CARE?
Christina Wilson
(pointing her finger to Jackie again) This is your teammate. Find the cancer in your team and work around it!
(interview) Jackie brought our whole morale down. She has to go. I'm-I'm done with her.
Christina Wilson
[letting the red team out of the kitchen] Go have lunch.
(interview) I'm the type of person where I can joke, joke, joke, and then boom, jump on a desert and get the shit done. But these morons don't see that.
The wellington garnish is up and--
(interview; regarding Meese) Bitch, get control of your station. (to Meese) What are you doing? (putting spinach on Messe's pan) What are you doing? What are you doing?
God, I'm trying to help you.
I don't want my guests eating on an installment plan?
[Screenshot of Kris Jenner and her friends laughing when they are waited for food]
Did he say "an installment plan"? He did not just say that.
(to Meese) Where's the mash (potatoes)?
Christina Wilson
You can leave them in the pot. We talked about this. Leave them in the pot.
Who put that on a tray like that?
Christina Wilson
Meese.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! (to Kris Jenner) Kris, I'm so sorry. Hey! All of you come here! COME HERE! GET IN! [summons the entire team into the pantry] I'M DONE!
We have a chef table in there tonight. Sat a meter away and look how I got the mash. It dumped on the fucking tray! I've been INSIDE PRISON and they give food better THAN THIS SHIT! [throws the plate down on the floor, causing it to shatter]
[Gordon opens the door and ushers the Red Team back into the kitchen without another word]
(interview; screams) AHHH!!! We suck. Like, we can’t do this!
(goes to the Blue kitchen) Hey! Hey, Blue team!
(to Eddie and Alan) You two, on desserts. The rest of you, jump into the Red Team and help them finish! Now!
Who’s on fish? I’ll hop on fish!
That’s already reduced in there. Right here.
I can’t believe this is fucking happening.
It’s fucking burnt, throw it out.
(interview) These boys just bomb-rushed our kitchen, kamikaze style. Like, fucking... [imitates bomb falling and going off]
As soon as those two tunas are ready, we’ll go to the pass!
I’m not screaming! THIS IS HOW I TALK!
(interview; impersonates Hassan yelling at her) "You guys need to listen to me, ‘cause I’m Hassan, and I'm big, and I blah-blah-blah!" Shut up!
Tuna going to the window!
[to Sous Chef Christina] On your left, two fish.
First ticket out, team! Loving the teamwork, guys!
With a very vocal Hassan leading the charge, the men have taken over the red kitchen...
[to Kris Jenner] And I have your tuna.
...delivering entrées to the chef’s table and grateful customers in the dining room.
Last table now! Two Arctic char, four wellington!
Both teams: Yes, chef!
She’s (Jackie) got the wellies right behind you.
Alright, guys, let’s clear it down.
Christina Wilson
[to Red team] Please thank the gentlemen for finishing your service two nights in a row!
[The Red Team starts walking upstairs to the dorms]
Fucking pathetic-ass shit. Bullshit ass team. Worst team ever.
