Gordon and Carol in “Episode Nine”

I have made a decision to send home the person that has sabotaged their team, and a person I felt personally has given up... [Pauses and point at the one of the red team has won the dinner service] Carol. Jacket off and you're leaving Hell's Kitchen. (To Robert and Ben) You two, back in line. [Carol cries and comes closer to him and Ben sobbingly hugs both Robert and Danny] (to Carol) You didn't even make a comeback: after the dauphinois and the potatoes were screwed, you gave up. [Carol gives him her chef jacket and walks out to the door] Thank you. Goodnight. [Ben heavily breathe and Gordon watching her leave]

I came here with the attitude that I'm gonna win this competition. I'm gonna be the famous chef that everybody wants to come and work for. It's very humbling to be standing here a loser.
