(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.
[to the judges] Hello.
Hi.
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.
Huh?
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]
Damn!
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!
Uh, let's go. Paul.
Aesthetically, the dish looked amazing. The whole dish itself eats very well. There's balance, you get the acidity. I like it a lot.
Thank you.
Rock, how was that?
Flavor from top to bottom, it looked beautiful. The balance with that fruit...that's absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
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 go five.
Wow. Dana.
I'm gonna give it a five also.
Thank you!
[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]
Nice job, Joy!
