(interview) Even though I'm nervous, I still feel confident in my dish. [to the judges] Hello. How are you all?
Where's the rest of the lamb?
Yeah, uh...it's roasted rack of lamb. The sauce is, uh...
Can you just stop two seconds? [points to the kitchen] You gotta bring me the rest of the rack of lamb in the kitchen there. [as Gabriel runs back to get the rest of the lamb] Why would you put two chops on there?
(interview) Gabriel freezes up at the last minute and thinks that he's pressed for time, so he just freaks out and doesn't put anything on the plate.
[Gabriel returns with a much larger lamb chop]
Why would you not put that on?
I was down to, like, one second. So, it was that one second to cut it or one second to take it off. I decided to make a professional decision and leave it off.
My instructions, every time we enter one of these challenges: Get your proteins on.
Should we get straight to tasting and forget the presentation?
[cuts into the smaller lamb chop] The lamb is actually overcooked.
Yeah, the lamb definitely does look like it's overcooked.
(to Gabriel) Did you slice and then re-sear?
I had to, chef. [Gordon facepalms] I put it back together, but I put it in, and then when I pulled it out, it...that's what I had.
That bit you left off...that we can't judge is cooked perfectly. And unfortunately, I'm struggling to give you a one.
Yes, chef. [the scoreboard shows Gabriel at zero points]
[exhales deeply] Wow. Right now, I'm not too sure what I'm gonna put on the calendar.
(interview) Oh, no. I'm next. I'm–I'm the last one. Like, the situation just got so real. If I don't come through, that makes Chef Ramsay look bad because he put his faith in us.
[whispering to Joy] Joy, take it home.
Let's go, Joy, please. Thank you.
Alright, what have we got?
We have a seared duck breast, and on top of that are some oven-roasted figs and mushrooms...and some Swiss chard for your veggie.
What was your inspiration behind the dish?
[pause] Uh...my inspiration was actually just cooking things I never cooked before. I never cooked duck, never cooked Swiss chard. I don't eat blackberries.
I ate a fig for the first time here.
So you cooked for us stuff you've never cooked before to get on the calendar?
[Gordon facepalms again as Joy nods her head]
Seriously? Fuck me. [slaps Rochelle's black jacket]
(interview) I'm gonna get my black jacket! It's right there in the center, I can see it! It's so pretty!
Aesthetically, the dish looked amazing. The whole dish itself eats very well. There's balance, you get the acidity. I like it a lot.
Flavor from top to bottom, it looked beautiful. The balance with that fruit...that's absolutely amazing.
Nice. Dana, what do you think?
I think this is the first dish that I've tasted and said, "Wow, this is delicious."
Rock, give us a number, please. One to five.
I'm just gonna go with a five.
Wow! Wow, wow, wow. Paul, one to five, please.
I'm gonna give it a five also.
[The other contestants applaud as Joy earns fifteen points from the guest judges alone to beat Rochelle]
I thought the dish was delicious. I'm gonna give it a four. Great job, well done.
Thank you, thank you! (interview) You know, thank you, chef. But I already got my black jacket! [laughs]
Nineteen out of twenty! [Joy runs up and hugs Kashia]
Oh, fucking hell, man. All of you, STOP!! Hey, HEY!!! Come here! QUICK!! The one table I begged for absolute perfection, touch that! Look at these here! How can I serve that?! Secondly, it's overcooked! Touch them! COME ON!! [knocks his hand on the workstation] Gabriel! Of all the tables!
(under her breath) Ohh, gosh.
You got it, Gabriel. Don't worry. (interview) Gabriel, this is like Minnie Driver's table. Get it together! (to Gabriel) Let us know Gabriel if you need help.
(to the servers) Go with that please, guys.
Scott! Why did you put three in when there's two away?
(starts stuttering) Becau-- I-- I wa-- I was-- I apologize, chef.
Oh, he didn't even answer me! [throws his spoon away]
No, chef! There was two away! There's one following right behind it.
But it's not FIRED, IDIOT!! CHICKEN, WELLINGTON, TWO HALIBUT! THAT'S IT!
TWO HALIBUT AWAY, AND YOU STICK THREE IN! AND THEN YOU SAY THERE'S ONE GOING NEXT WHEN THERE FUCKING ISN'T!
Why have you got a salmon and a halibut in the same pan? TALK TO ME, PLEASE!
I'm just searing it so I don't--
Come here you! One's braised, one's--
I'm just doing the sear first right now.
I don't want them! One's an oily fish, one's a white fish!
They need to be separate!
(interview) Oh, my God. That is like a fucking NO-NO!
Twelve services, we've never done it like that. You are not going to start.
One day, if you're lucky enough to open up your own business, then you teach that bad practice!
What is he doing? It's just a soft shit. [returns to the workstation] Hey, just touch that. Just touch the skin! You can't give me crispy salmon!
(interview) Oh, my God! What a freaking idiot! Crispy skin, it's simple! It's simple as a physics!
(to Scott in the Red kitchen) Hey, Scott!
Come here you! (to Gabriel) And you as well. This is painful! Seriously painful!
(interview) Oh, fuck man! Chef Ramsay's pissed. This is not good!
[leads Scott and Gabriel to the pantry and slams the door] What the fuck are you two doing?! You're out of fucking control!
(to Scott) You knew you went over, and you still bring it to me!
No, chef! I didn't think I held it that far!
[throws the tray away] You still brought it to me!
I apologize, chef. I didn't mean to do that.
(to Gabriel) And your skin is soft!
SCScott Commings & Gabriel
No, chef!
All of you, COME HERE! [throws his spoon away] Yeah! Oh, really?! What next?! What possibly could be wrong?! The salmon is fucking raw! It's raw and it's stone-fucking-cold! [throws the salmon on the tray; to Gabriel] STOP! YOU ARE DONE! The competition for you is over! GET OUT!
Yes, chef. [tries to return to the dorms]
Hey, young man! [points to the front entrance] FRONT DOOR! GET OUT!
(interview) Crap, that's a bad way to leave.
(to the Blue team) Sorry, team.
MDMinnie Driver
(sees Gabriel going through the dining room) Ohh!
(interview) You can just be thrown out of that kitchen. It's that late in the game and it's that serious.
(follows Gabriel outside the restaurant) Uh, Gabriel.
It was a pleasure. (shakes JP's hand)
Listen, pleasure was ours. However, I need your jacket. [Gabriel removes his chef's jacket]
It just didn't go my way tonight. It's just one bad service too many. Instead of getting a black jacket, they took my blue jacket. My fucking heart hurts right now because it was this fucking close.
Garnish for the halibut, please? I'll take, I'll take!
Garnish needs about 90 seconds to finish these shrimp off.
Walking with the halibut. [brings her halibut to the pass]
[throws his spoon away] I need the garnish for the halibut before the halibut! Shit!
Well if you know, why doesn't Joy know?
What?! What am I...? I don't understand what you're saying!
OK, come here! Come here. I would like the garnish... look at me. Look at me!
Can I finish my sentence? Plain English: I would like the garnish for the halibut, before the halibut.
Chef, I just... I... I...
Yes or no! You want to pick an argument? I'm ready!
(walking away) Can I finish cooking, chef?
Hey, young lady! If you're in a mood, don't take it out on my food.
(throws her cooking cloth away) I'm done.
Leave me alone, leave me alone.
Fuck you. I'm done with this shit. [removes her apron, throws it aside and leaves the kitchen]
[In the corridor behind the kitchen, Joy removes her jacket and throws it on the ground]
WWoman
She left. She left, she walked off.
SLStan Lee
And he went chasing after her. I've never seen anything like this.
[Gordon follows Joy into the corridor]
What a selfish attitude! One thing wrong and you run away. Absolutely phenomenal.
No, you're not telling me!
You're not even listening to me! I'm--
No, you're not! You're arguing! You're arguing, you're shouting...
Hey, I know you're done. It shows in your cooking.
Okay, fine. Fuck you. (returns to the dorms)
Get out! Unbelievable. Fucking unbelievable.
[In the kitchen, the remaining four are still working]
JJason
So did that really happen?
SLStan Lee
(laughs) I think we wrecked this place by ordering halibut!
JJason
(interview) I can't believe what was just happening. She just blew it. Over a fish. (in the kitchen) I don't understand that. (interview) Chicks, man.
She'd better not give up.
No, she'd better not. (interview) I'm just like "Please, walk back in with Chef!" [Gordon returns to the kitchen alone; Melanie and Rochelle look dismayed] (interview) But... no! No!
On the fish station, please.
And, excuse me! Everybody!
That is not the attitude I expect at this stage of the game, let me tell you!
Where's my remoulade for my beef?
[walks to the pass] Here, chef.
[checks bowl] Hey, this isn't even mixed!
This isn't even mixed, Jessica! Let's go! Come on!
Scott's team, nothing coming out! (to Scott) This is a fucking mess. A big mess.
(interview) Nothing's coming out of that station. It's ridiculous, you know? My whole life is falling off a cliff. (in the kitchen) Oh, man. (interview) We just can't afford anything else to happen.
[to Scott] I got the garnish coming. Here's this. It's on a hot plate, though.
[checks fries with Gordon] Dammit.
(interview, sighs and facepalms)
They're fucking–they're not even crispy. I don't know why she's doing that.
[to his team] Hey, STOP! STOP!! Jessica!
Go! Don't talk to me anymore. I want you out. Go. (interview) Jessica wasn't getting any better from start to finish. I can't do it anymore, man. That's it.
[Jessica is seen walking back to the dorms]
Take control of this station now, please.
[tastes spinach brought by Sandra] COME ON! This is bitter and there is no salt in this!
Come on! [drops spoon in Sandra's pot] Make it better!
(to Sandra) Add more salt quickly! (interview) Sandra, get your shit together! If I was running that kitchen tonight, I would've thrown her pan, ripped off her apron, and made her get the fuck out of the kitchen. Like, how has Jason not done that?
(to Gordon) It's not just falling apart. This is going too slow, but this is the last table, and...
What is going on with the garnish here?! This is not that hard!
(to Sandra) Is there an answer there or not?
It's like talking to a fucking brick wall.
