1
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:12,275
... in MasterChef history.
2
00:00:12,355 --> 00:00:15,469
This is almost an impossible misson.
3
00:00:16,273 --> 00:00:19,654
60 guests and bride
and groom and them is waiting!
4
00:00:21,986 --> 00:00:24,767
Tonight...
They get taste of Americana
5
00:00:25,229 --> 00:00:27,964
running the kitchen
of an all-american diner.
6
00:00:27,999 --> 00:00:29,866
We are open for business.
7
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:31,134
It's a classic menu...
8
00:00:31,168 --> 00:00:32,268
One club.
9
00:00:32,303 --> 00:00:33,269
It's a chaotic kitchen...
10
00:00:33,304 --> 00:00:35,872
- Two pancakes! You hear me?
- Got it!
11
00:00:35,906 --> 00:00:38,108
... with hungry customers.
12
00:00:38,142 --> 00:00:39,109
Can i join you for dessert?
13
00:00:39,143 --> 00:00:40,577
Absolutely.
14
00:00:40,611 --> 00:00:42,112
One team will be sunny-side up.
15
00:00:42,146 --> 00:00:43,413
Team blue!
16
00:00:43,447 --> 00:00:45,048
Let's go, you guys.
Y'all are amazing!
17
00:00:45,082 --> 00:00:47,384
And the other will get fried.
18
00:00:47,418 --> 00:00:48,885
Toast is burning!
19
00:00:48,919 --> 00:00:51,521
Table two is leaving
in one minute.
20
00:00:51,555 --> 00:00:53,490
Do not let him make it out here
without it being perfect!
21
00:00:53,524 --> 00:00:54,891
It all starts right now
22
00:00:54,925 --> 00:00:59,827
on the great American...
Masterchef.
23
00:01:05,336 --> 00:01:07,604
Our remaining 14 home cooks
24
00:01:07,638 --> 00:01:09,773
head into the heart
of Culver city
25
00:01:09,807 --> 00:01:12,876
in Los Angeles
for a team challenge
26
00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:15,879
that will test
their skills and speed.
27
00:01:15,913 --> 00:01:17,480
It is top 14.
28
00:01:17,515 --> 00:01:19,649
Now it's really
becoming apparent
29
00:01:19,684 --> 00:01:21,785
who's the stronger competitors
30
00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:23,286
and who's
the weaker competitors.
31
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,423
Based on actual cooking skills,
32
00:01:26,457 --> 00:01:32,095
at the top we have Courtney,
Christine, Willie, Jaimee...
33
00:01:32,129 --> 00:01:34,397
I would put myself in the top,
absolutely.
34
00:01:35,833 --> 00:01:38,635
I'm going into
another team challenge.
35
00:01:38,669 --> 00:01:40,570
I don't want to get
too excited or too depressed.
36
00:01:40,604 --> 00:01:42,072
I don't know
what it's gonna be,
37
00:01:42,106 --> 00:01:43,573
who's it gonna be with.
38
00:01:47,945 --> 00:01:49,579
- Oh.
- Hey.
39
00:01:49,613 --> 00:01:50,580
Look who's here.
40
00:01:50,614 --> 00:01:52,082
What's up, guys?
41
00:01:52,116 --> 00:01:53,083
How's everything taste?
42
00:01:53,117 --> 00:01:54,551
Uh, delicious.
43
00:01:54,585 --> 00:01:56,019
Good morning, guys.
Come on in.
44
00:01:56,053 --> 00:01:57,187
So I'm looking at this diner,
45
00:01:57,221 --> 00:01:58,321
and I'm thinking, man,
I feel
46
00:01:58,355 --> 00:01:59,522
like I'm back in Texas.
47
00:01:59,557 --> 00:02:01,224
I really think
that's where my heart is,
48
00:02:01,258 --> 00:02:02,592
is that kind of atmosphere.
49
00:02:02,626 --> 00:02:05,195
Welcome, everyone,
to Dinah's family restaurant,
50
00:02:05,229 --> 00:02:06,863
one of the most iconic
and busiest
51
00:02:06,897 --> 00:02:08,765
all-American diners
in Los Angeles.
52
00:02:08,799 --> 00:02:10,467
This diner serves over
53
00:02:10,501 --> 00:02:12,035
1,000 delicious plates
54
00:02:12,069 --> 00:02:14,471
every single day.
55
00:02:14,505 --> 00:02:16,840
And today, you 14 home cooks
56
00:02:16,874 --> 00:02:20,610
are going be the ones
making all the food.
57
00:02:20,644 --> 00:02:22,412
What?
58
00:02:22,446 --> 00:02:24,180
You 14 home cooks
59
00:02:24,215 --> 00:02:27,050
will be split
into two teams of seven.
60
00:02:27,084 --> 00:02:28,785
Those two teams
will be covering
61
00:02:28,819 --> 00:02:30,954
the busiest shift of the day.
62
00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:33,256
During that shift,
each team
63
00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:36,826
will be responsible for cooking
for 1/2 of the diner.
64
00:02:36,861 --> 00:02:38,995
For today's team pick,
65
00:02:39,029 --> 00:02:41,331
things are going to be
a little different.
66
00:02:42,733 --> 00:02:48,171
We will decide
on the team captain.
67
00:02:48,205 --> 00:02:51,207
We've seen many of you perform
as great leaders,
68
00:02:51,242 --> 00:02:52,542
but there are some of you
69
00:02:52,576 --> 00:02:54,844
that we feel we need
to see more of.
70
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,013
I haven't shown my best.
71
00:02:57,047 --> 00:02:58,081
And I haven't won a challenge.
72
00:02:58,115 --> 00:03:00,183
And I want to show the judges
73
00:03:00,217 --> 00:03:02,485
that I've got what it takes.
74
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,287
I have my fingers crossed.
75
00:03:04,321 --> 00:03:06,389
Please don't pick me,
please don't pick me.
76
00:03:06,423 --> 00:03:08,158
Today's first team captain...
77
00:03:08,192 --> 00:03:12,762
captain of the red team is...
78
00:03:14,431 --> 00:03:15,732
Christine.
79
00:03:16,834 --> 00:03:18,034
Thank you.
80
00:03:18,068 --> 00:03:20,270
I'm in the investment world.
81
00:03:20,304 --> 00:03:21,738
I'm able to hold my own
on wall street.
82
00:03:21,772 --> 00:03:25,108
and this is my time to really
impress the judges
83
00:03:25,142 --> 00:03:27,510
and let them know that I'm here
to work my ass off
84
00:03:27,545 --> 00:03:29,679
and to win this competition.
85
00:03:29,713 --> 00:03:33,316
The second team captain
has a big heart,
86
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:34,517
big flavors,
87
00:03:34,552 --> 00:03:38,488
and a big...
88
00:03:38,522 --> 00:03:42,025
Willie, you are
today's blue team captain.
89
00:03:42,059 --> 00:03:44,727
I'm, like, super excited.
90
00:03:44,762 --> 00:03:47,297
Here's my chance to prove
91
00:03:47,331 --> 00:03:49,699
to the judges
that I'm not just a person
92
00:03:49,733 --> 00:03:51,868
with big flavors
and can support a team,
93
00:03:51,902 --> 00:03:53,703
but I can actually lead
a team to victory.
94
00:03:56,106 --> 00:03:58,141
The team pick will be
a little different too,
95
00:03:58,175 --> 00:04:01,778
because there won't be
a team pick.
96
00:04:01,812 --> 00:04:07,617
The two teams will consist
of boys versus girls.
97
00:04:07,651 --> 00:04:08,985
Whoo!
98
00:04:09,019 --> 00:04:11,621
Yes! Yes!
99
00:04:12,656 --> 00:04:13,957
Please, form your teams.
100
00:04:13,991 --> 00:04:15,792
Oh, yeah.
101
00:04:15,826 --> 00:04:18,228
Boys versus girls
is like the best idea ever
102
00:04:18,262 --> 00:04:21,631
because everybody knows
that girls rule and boys drool.
103
00:04:21,665 --> 00:04:23,333
Oh, yeah, baby.
104
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:24,801
Kitchen diners' cooking...
105
00:04:24,835 --> 00:04:26,603
I think it's more
of a guy thing.
106
00:04:26,637 --> 00:04:28,438
I don't want to insult anybody.
107
00:04:28,472 --> 00:04:30,807
But I just don't see it
happening with the girls.
108
00:04:30,841 --> 00:04:32,442
Is everybody happy
with their teams?
109
00:04:32,476 --> 00:04:33,810
Yes, chef!
110
00:04:33,844 --> 00:04:34,811
Ready to go?
111
00:04:34,845 --> 00:04:36,846
Yes, chef!
112
00:04:40,417 --> 00:04:42,118
Sorry, Graham, I'm not.
113
00:04:43,153 --> 00:04:44,354
Boys and girls,
114
00:04:44,388 --> 00:04:46,055
for me, it's feels a bit
old-fashioned.
115
00:04:46,090 --> 00:04:50,393
So each team decide on one
member of the opposing team
116
00:04:50,427 --> 00:04:52,161
that you want to have.
117
00:04:52,196 --> 00:04:54,130
Oh, my god.
118
00:04:54,164 --> 00:04:56,466
Start now.
119
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:57,934
She's been on
the winning team twice.
120
00:04:57,968 --> 00:05:00,503
And she's gonna be able to be
good on the flat top.
121
00:05:00,537 --> 00:05:02,305
He's worked in a restaurant
like this before.
122
00:05:02,339 --> 00:05:03,773
I've heard him say
that he's done this before.
123
00:05:03,807 --> 00:05:05,041
I'm cool with that.
I'm cool with it.
124
00:05:05,075 --> 00:05:06,509
- We're good.
- Okay.
125
00:05:06,543 --> 00:05:09,779
So, Christine, who are you
taking from the blue team?
126
00:05:09,813 --> 00:05:10,880
The person I picked is
127
00:05:10,915 --> 00:05:13,316
someone that I've seen
in action
128
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:14,684
and when he's motivated,
129
00:05:14,718 --> 00:05:16,352
he's a beast in the kitchen.
130
00:05:16,387 --> 00:05:18,421
- Who's that?
- Christian.
131
00:05:18,455 --> 00:05:19,422
Wow.
132
00:05:19,456 --> 00:05:20,423
- Wow.
- Interesting.
133
00:05:20,457 --> 00:05:21,858
When my name got called,
134
00:05:21,892 --> 00:05:23,393
i was like, "I love that."
135
00:05:23,427 --> 00:05:26,596
Me, by myself, all women?
136
00:05:26,630 --> 00:05:28,631
Who would not love that?
137
00:05:28,666 --> 00:05:30,166
Big Willie, tell me who
138
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,834
you are taking
from the red team.
139
00:05:31,869 --> 00:05:34,337
This person has proven
themselves
140
00:05:34,371 --> 00:05:37,173
in group challenges
time and time again.
141
00:05:37,207 --> 00:05:39,642
I'm choosing Victoria.
142
00:05:39,677 --> 00:05:42,512
I know I haven't impressed
the judges with anything
143
00:05:42,546 --> 00:05:44,514
that I've put on the plate,
and it's great
144
00:05:44,548 --> 00:05:46,082
that my teammates like me,
but you know,
145
00:05:46,116 --> 00:05:47,984
it's the judges I really want
to win over in the end.
146
00:05:48,018 --> 00:05:50,053
Christine and Willie,
147
00:05:50,087 --> 00:05:52,789
because you are the leaders,
you will be the ones
148
00:05:52,823 --> 00:05:57,327
expediting in the kitchen.
149
00:05:57,361 --> 00:05:58,728
You set the bar.
150
00:05:58,762 --> 00:06:00,863
When each customer
enters the diner,
151
00:06:00,898 --> 00:06:03,466
they'll be given
a MasterChef dollar.
152
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,102
Then, if they like
what you serve them,
153
00:06:06,136 --> 00:06:07,904
the customers
will give your team
154
00:06:07,938 --> 00:06:10,239
a tip as they exit the door.
155
00:06:10,274 --> 00:06:12,075
If they don't like the dish
156
00:06:12,109 --> 00:06:13,443
or they're not happy
with the standards,
157
00:06:13,477 --> 00:06:15,545
clearly no tip.
158
00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:17,380
The team with the fewest tips
at the end of the service
159
00:06:17,414 --> 00:06:19,916
will face
the dreaded pressure test.
160
00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:20,917
Is everybody ready?
161
00:06:20,951 --> 00:06:22,285
Yes, chef.
162
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,755
Your prep starts now.
Off you go.
163
00:06:25,789 --> 00:06:26,923
Good luck.
164
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,229
With straight-forward American
diner classics on the menu,
165
00:06:33,263 --> 00:06:36,399
this challenge will be
all about the team's timing,
166
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:39,035
communication,
and quality control.
167
00:06:39,069 --> 00:06:41,738
- I want you to be up there with me.
- Okay.
168
00:06:41,772 --> 00:06:43,306
I want you on fried chicken.
169
00:06:43,340 --> 00:06:44,307
Are you comfortable
with that?
170
00:06:44,341 --> 00:06:45,308
Yeah, I'm good with it.
171
00:06:45,342 --> 00:06:46,342
You're gonna be on chicken,
172
00:06:46,377 --> 00:06:47,577
you're gonna be up with me.
173
00:06:47,611 --> 00:06:49,145
You're gonna help Christian out
with the sides,
174
00:06:49,179 --> 00:06:51,214
and you're gonna be on pancakes
and the compote.
175
00:06:51,248 --> 00:06:52,749
- Go, let's do it.
- All right, let's do this.
176
00:06:57,287 --> 00:06:58,855
- Tough one.
- Totally.
177
00:06:58,889 --> 00:07:00,223
Putting these contestants
in the diner
178
00:07:00,257 --> 00:07:02,759
really will show us a lot
about their ability,
179
00:07:02,793 --> 00:07:04,093
because it's a lot of pressure
180
00:07:04,128 --> 00:07:05,595
and it's the same things
we're looking for.
181
00:07:05,629 --> 00:07:07,330
We're looking
for flavor, consistency,
182
00:07:07,364 --> 00:07:08,598
speed, and technique.
183
00:07:08,632 --> 00:07:10,166
I need everybody focused.
184
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Do you understand?
185
00:07:11,235 --> 00:07:12,402
- Yes, chef!
- Yes, chef!
186
00:07:12,436 --> 00:07:13,903
My big worry is the expediting.
187
00:07:13,937 --> 00:07:15,772
Expediting...
You gotta drive the team.
188
00:07:15,806 --> 00:07:17,507
Three tickets in the air
any one time.
189
00:07:17,541 --> 00:07:19,509
- I want to see everything
before it goes out. - Okay.
190
00:07:19,543 --> 00:07:20,877
Don't think they've ever worked
in this kind of pressure
191
00:07:20,911 --> 00:07:22,645
with that kind of speed.
192
00:07:22,679 --> 00:07:25,782
Guys, unless you have something
to say to me, do not speak.
193
00:07:25,816 --> 00:07:27,617
Here we go.
194
00:07:27,651 --> 00:07:30,820
We are open for business, guys.
Let's go.
195
00:07:30,854 --> 00:07:32,321
It's now time
196
00:07:32,356 --> 00:07:35,925
for the home cooks to serve
the diner's toughest critics...
197
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,560
their regular customers.
198
00:07:37,594 --> 00:07:41,297
Diners will be seated in either
the blue or red section
199
00:07:41,331 --> 00:07:44,467
and will decide whether
their team's perfomance
200
00:07:44,501 --> 00:07:46,102
is worthy of a tip or not.
201
00:07:46,136 --> 00:07:47,236
First ticket,
202
00:07:47,271 --> 00:07:49,439
two fried chickens,
one pancake,
203
00:07:49,473 --> 00:07:51,574
one egg scrambled,
one club.
204
00:07:51,608 --> 00:07:53,109
Heard! Pancake.
205
00:07:53,143 --> 00:07:55,278
One egg scrambled, coming up!
206
00:07:55,312 --> 00:07:56,279
Red team!
207
00:07:56,313 --> 00:07:57,747
Two fried chicken,
208
00:07:57,781 --> 00:07:59,682
Two pancakes,
you hear me?
209
00:07:59,716 --> 00:08:01,484
Heard, two pancakes.
210
00:08:01,518 --> 00:08:03,853
90 seconds on chicken!
211
00:08:03,887 --> 00:08:04,854
Wrap it, let's go.
212
00:08:04,888 --> 00:08:06,689
More customers arriving.
213
00:08:06,723 --> 00:08:08,825
Next ticket,
two fried chicken,
214
00:08:08,859 --> 00:08:10,059
two club sandwiches.
215
00:08:10,094 --> 00:08:11,160
Got it!
216
00:08:11,195 --> 00:08:14,097
Christine is ruling
with an iron fist.
217
00:08:14,131 --> 00:08:15,665
Courtney, just watch the grease
a little bit.
218
00:08:15,699 --> 00:08:17,033
Yes, chef.
219
00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:18,935
She's directing the orders.
220
00:08:18,969 --> 00:08:21,471
We don't notice how busy it is.
221
00:08:21,505 --> 00:08:23,206
We just know
what's in front of us
222
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,407
and what is that task.
223
00:08:24,441 --> 00:08:25,842
Service, please.
224
00:08:25,876 --> 00:08:27,910
With Christine's
strong leadership,
225
00:08:27,945 --> 00:08:30,580
the red team is off
to a good start.
226
00:08:30,614 --> 00:08:32,615
While on the blue team,
Willie is struggling
227
00:08:32,649 --> 00:08:34,150
to keep track
of multiple orders.
228
00:08:34,184 --> 00:08:36,619
I need those two sandwiches.
229
00:08:36,653 --> 00:08:38,721
- What's the time?
- Two? I thought you wanted three
230
00:08:38,755 --> 00:08:40,623
and then one, and then
there's two more coming.
231
00:08:40,657 --> 00:08:42,325
He wants one club sandwich,
232
00:08:42,359 --> 00:08:44,994
he wants two, he wants
four club sandwiches.
233
00:08:45,028 --> 00:08:46,496
I've made seven.
234
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:48,231
Francis, I need two clubs.
235
00:08:48,265 --> 00:08:49,699
- Two more clubs?
- Two more clubs.
236
00:08:49,733 --> 00:08:52,235
No. Just those two he got.
237
00:08:52,269 --> 00:08:53,803
Oh, just those two?
He's only got one.
238
00:08:53,837 --> 00:08:55,037
Well,
then you're reading out...
239
00:08:55,072 --> 00:08:56,873
the orders are not being
read out correctly.
240
00:08:56,907 --> 00:08:59,909
From the get-go, Willie's
overwhelmed by everything.
241
00:08:59,943 --> 00:09:02,245
Food is dying in the window,
blue team.
242
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,881
We're having club sandwiches
resting in the window
243
00:09:04,915 --> 00:09:06,649
when pancakes
haven't been fired
244
00:09:06,683 --> 00:09:07,884
or we're waiting on eggs.
245
00:09:07,918 --> 00:09:10,520
I mean, everything
just starts unraveling.
246
00:09:10,554 --> 00:09:11,721
Let's go, I need this table.
Come on.
247
00:09:11,755 --> 00:09:13,890
Why is table three taking so long?
248
00:09:13,924 --> 00:09:17,360
Okay, give me those...
give me those, uh...
249
00:09:17,394 --> 00:09:19,395
uh...
250
00:09:29,205 --> 00:09:31,375
Today's
all-American diner challenge
251
00:09:31,455 --> 00:09:33,430
is about quality and speed.
252
00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:34,857
How long on the fried chicken?
253
00:09:34,892 --> 00:09:36,926
Four fried chicken coming up
in five minutes.
254
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,195
While the red team is working
efficiently...
255
00:09:39,229 --> 00:09:40,296
Service, please.
256
00:09:40,331 --> 00:09:41,564
The blue team is struggling
257
00:09:41,598 --> 00:09:43,866
to keep up with their orders.
258
00:09:43,901 --> 00:09:45,902
I need...
259
00:09:47,604 --> 00:09:49,739
Say... what.
260
00:09:49,773 --> 00:09:51,341
I need...
261
00:09:54,278 --> 00:09:55,478
Willie's the team captain.
262
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:57,280
That's great and fantastical
and magical.
263
00:09:57,314 --> 00:09:59,515
Unicorns riding around him
all the time.
264
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:00,650
That's fantastic.
265
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:02,618
But I think
he's a little confused.
266
00:10:02,653 --> 00:10:04,987
I need one...
267
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:07,056
I've never expedited before.
268
00:10:07,091 --> 00:10:09,759
I've never worked
in a professional kitchen.
269
00:10:09,793 --> 00:10:11,494
I am all over the place.
270
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,129
- Start building them like this.
- I need...
271
00:10:13,163 --> 00:10:15,131
So it's like that
with a scrambled egg
272
00:10:15,165 --> 00:10:16,132
is gonna be a ticket.
273
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:17,500
Yeah.
274
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:18,768
Then you got two fried chickens
275
00:10:18,802 --> 00:10:20,870
- with a scrambled egg and a club.
- Okay.
276
00:10:20,904 --> 00:10:22,271
It's on me now.
277
00:10:22,306 --> 00:10:24,273
We're behind,
and it's time for me
278
00:10:24,308 --> 00:10:26,142
to step up and get my team
back on track.
279
00:10:26,176 --> 00:10:27,977
I need six fried chickens,
280
00:10:28,011 --> 00:10:29,345
one pancake.
281
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:30,346
Heard, chef.
282
00:10:30,381 --> 00:10:31,414
15 seconds on pancakes.
283
00:10:31,448 --> 00:10:32,448
Okay.
284
00:10:32,483 --> 00:10:33,483
Do you have this?
285
00:10:33,517 --> 00:10:34,484
You want me to take over
for you?
286
00:10:34,518 --> 00:10:36,085
I got it.
Okay. Okay.
287
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,354
Order up, table eight.
288
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:39,455
How are we?
289
00:10:39,490 --> 00:10:40,990
- We're doing great.
- Nice to see you.
290
00:10:41,024 --> 00:10:42,358
How long have
you been coming here?
291
00:10:42,393 --> 00:10:43,760
Since it's been open.
292
00:10:43,794 --> 00:10:44,994
What, since 1959?
293
00:10:45,028 --> 00:10:46,262
- Yes.
- Incredible.
294
00:10:46,296 --> 00:10:47,530
And how does it compare?
295
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:48,564
Is it up to your standards?
296
00:10:48,599 --> 00:10:49,632
Yeah, it's really good.
297
00:10:49,666 --> 00:10:50,833
Can I join you for dessert?
298
00:10:50,868 --> 00:10:52,301
- Absolutely.
- I'll be back.
299
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:55,271
Hello, ladies,
you're eating
300
00:10:55,305 --> 00:10:56,839
the dishes of the red team.
301
00:10:56,874 --> 00:10:58,174
What'd you think of the eggs?
Good egg cook?
302
00:10:58,208 --> 00:11:00,209
- Good, perfect.
- Yeah? perfect?
303
00:11:00,244 --> 00:11:02,145
How are we looking on those
scrambled eggs, Courtney?
304
00:11:02,179 --> 00:11:03,679
30 seconds!
305
00:11:03,714 --> 00:11:06,449
Today's challenge
will be decided by tips.
306
00:11:06,483 --> 00:11:08,684
A satisfied customer
will leave
307
00:11:08,719 --> 00:11:11,654
their team a MasterChef dollar
before they leave,
308
00:11:11,688 --> 00:11:15,558
while an unhappy customer
will head straight for the door.
309
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:17,193
Elizabeth, why is
that hanging in the window?
310
00:11:17,227 --> 00:11:18,594
I know.
311
00:11:18,629 --> 00:11:19,695
- We're waiting on clubs.
- What's it waiting for?
312
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:21,130
We're waiting on clubs.
313
00:11:21,165 --> 00:11:22,565
Back on the red team,
incomplete orders
314
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:24,233
are dying in the window
315
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:26,669
as Elise struggles
with the club sandwiches.
316
00:11:26,703 --> 00:11:29,939
She's smushing the bread.
She's gotta stop doing that.
317
00:11:29,973 --> 00:11:31,841
Real careful
on the bread shumshing.
318
00:11:31,875 --> 00:11:33,509
- Okay.
- Take a deep breath.
319
00:11:33,544 --> 00:11:35,211
Fire it off. Another one.
320
00:11:35,245 --> 00:11:36,846
All right, let me throw
this out.
321
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,248
Elise's clubs
are not looking good.
322
00:11:39,283 --> 00:11:40,249
Listen to me.
323
00:11:40,284 --> 00:11:41,851
You gotta get the cut better.
324
00:11:41,885 --> 00:11:43,085
Yes, yes.
325
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,388
Come on, we can't afford
to get this sent back.
326
00:11:45,422 --> 00:11:47,356
- Christine, that's the fifth time.
- I know.
327
00:11:47,391 --> 00:11:49,258
The cut of the toast is wrong.
328
00:11:49,293 --> 00:11:51,027
The toast isn't toasted well.
329
00:11:51,061 --> 00:11:52,662
It's just looking
a little wobbly.
330
00:11:52,696 --> 00:11:54,664
And that's not coming
out of my kitchen.
331
00:11:54,698 --> 00:11:56,399
Elise, we need those sandwiches.
let's go.
332
00:11:56,433 --> 00:11:57,633
You're taking too long.
333
00:11:57,668 --> 00:11:58,901
Okay.
334
00:11:58,936 --> 00:12:00,870
Let me tell you something
about club sandwiches.
335
00:12:00,904 --> 00:12:02,705
Club sandwiches are not easy.
336
00:12:02,739 --> 00:12:06,342
Bread, cheese, tomato, turkey,
bacon, lettuce,
337
00:12:06,376 --> 00:12:08,010
toast with mayo,
338
00:12:08,045 --> 00:12:11,347
cheese, ham, bacon, lettuce,
339
00:12:11,381 --> 00:12:12,615
another piece of bread.
340
00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:17,019
And then everything
has to be perfectly layered
341
00:12:17,054 --> 00:12:19,856
or your sandwich is gonna fall
apart when you try to cut it.
342
00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:21,624
- No, no, no. no, no, look.
- Oh, god.
343
00:12:21,658 --> 00:12:23,893
They're looking worse and worse,
aren't they?
344
00:12:23,927 --> 00:12:25,027
Elise!
345
00:12:25,062 --> 00:12:26,496
I can't serve this, okay?
346
00:12:26,530 --> 00:12:29,632
I'm... I'm... I'm...
Yes, yes, yes.
347
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:30,766
Well, someone
needs to help her.
348
00:12:30,801 --> 00:12:32,635
You're blocking
the service.
349
00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:34,203
- Can you just go back in there...
- Yes.
350
00:12:34,238 --> 00:12:35,204
And help right now?
351
00:12:35,239 --> 00:12:37,373
Without a doubt,
if we lose this,
352
00:12:37,407 --> 00:12:39,075
i'll be blamed for the loss.
353
00:12:39,109 --> 00:12:41,210
Uh, red team
is struggling big time.
354
00:12:41,245 --> 00:12:42,879
The club sandwiches
have really backed them up.
355
00:12:42,913 --> 00:12:44,714
Elise can't even cut
the bread properly.
356
00:12:44,748 --> 00:12:46,949
Elizabeth
jumped from expediting
357
00:12:46,984 --> 00:12:48,384
over on to club sandwiches.
358
00:12:48,418 --> 00:12:49,385
How is that possible?
359
00:12:49,419 --> 00:12:50,586
It's toast and lettuce.
360
00:12:50,621 --> 00:12:52,455
It's one of
the most popular orders.
361
00:12:52,489 --> 00:12:54,056
It's such a shame,
'cause food's in the window
362
00:12:54,091 --> 00:12:55,491
and it's dying,
and they're waiting nonstop
363
00:12:55,526 --> 00:12:57,260
on that club sandwich.
364
00:12:57,294 --> 00:12:59,595
Come on, guys, on the clubs.
I need two clubs.
365
00:12:59,630 --> 00:13:01,497
So based on what you're seeing,
what are you thinking?
366
00:13:01,532 --> 00:13:03,633
I think Christine's behind
based on the club sandwich.
367
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:05,101
And I think Big Willie's
got his team,
368
00:13:05,135 --> 00:13:07,470
and the blue team are literally
heading toward victory.
369
00:13:07,504 --> 00:13:10,139
It's halfway through
the afternoon rush
370
00:13:10,173 --> 00:13:13,175
and despite the judges'
confidence in the blue team,
371
00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:17,446
Leslie is cracking under
the pressure of the egg station.
372
00:13:17,481 --> 00:13:18,748
Leslie,
373
00:13:18,782 --> 00:13:20,816
these eggs look different
every time I see them.
374
00:13:20,851 --> 00:13:22,952
You gotta keep that plating
consistent, okay?
375
00:13:22,986 --> 00:13:24,320
They're sunny-side up.
376
00:13:24,354 --> 00:13:25,655
That's the way
they make 'em.
377
00:13:25,689 --> 00:13:27,456
My job in this kitchen today
378
00:13:27,491 --> 00:13:29,692
is to make sure
that quality is consistent.
379
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,861
That's not going out.
Look at this oil.
380
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:34,130
Less oil, Leslie.
Less oil.
381
00:13:34,164 --> 00:13:36,332
And Leslie is taking it
very personal.
382
00:13:36,366 --> 00:13:38,668
And that's reflecting
in the next
383
00:13:38,702 --> 00:13:40,336
20 plates he puts in the window.
384
00:13:40,370 --> 00:13:42,505
Do not let him make it out here
without it being perfect.
385
00:13:42,539 --> 00:13:44,206
Are you kidding me?
386
00:13:44,241 --> 00:13:46,776
I'm busting my ass here,
working three different areas.
387
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:48,878
I'm working the toast because
i need toast on my plate.
388
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:50,212
i need the eggs on the plate,
389
00:13:50,247 --> 00:13:51,881
and I gotta go under
the freaking oven
390
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:53,749
and pull out the bacon
and the sausages,
391
00:13:53,784 --> 00:13:54,984
they're two burning hot trays,
392
00:13:55,018 --> 00:13:56,686
and I gotta worry about
burning my freaking hands,
393
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,487
and he's yelling at me?
394
00:13:58,522 --> 00:14:00,022
Leslie, do you need help?
What's going on?
395
00:14:00,057 --> 00:14:01,724
No, I don't need help!
I'm good right now.
396
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:03,459
If you stop talking to me,
I'll be good.
397
00:14:03,493 --> 00:14:06,796
We need to communicate, Leslie.
I need those eggs.
398
00:14:06,830 --> 00:14:08,731
They're coming, Willie!
They're coming!
399
00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:10,566
I can't make 'em
cook any faster!
400
00:14:10,601 --> 00:14:13,502
I ordered the blue team's
egg breakfast.
401
00:14:13,537 --> 00:14:14,537
Ah.
402
00:14:14,571 --> 00:14:16,472
I don't think I'm going to tip.
403
00:14:16,506 --> 00:14:18,140
I'm not gonna tip
the blue team.
404
00:14:18,175 --> 00:14:21,210
The eggs were okay.
The rest of the food was cold.
405
00:14:21,244 --> 00:14:23,145
- Leslie, listen to me.
- What?
406
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:25,548
After those two,
I want you to get on toast.
407
00:14:25,582 --> 00:14:28,551
Victoria, can you get on
those eggs?
408
00:14:28,585 --> 00:14:31,687
I need to change.
409
00:14:31,722 --> 00:14:32,989
Got it.
410
00:14:33,023 --> 00:14:33,990
Leslie was just
411
00:14:34,024 --> 00:14:37,093
turning out
so many subpar eggs,
412
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:38,561
that Willie fires him.
413
00:14:38,595 --> 00:14:40,396
Chef, how many eggs
do you need?
414
00:14:40,430 --> 00:14:42,598
One scrambled,
one sunny-side up.
415
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:43,599
Heard.
416
00:14:43,634 --> 00:14:45,201
That's it.
Yeah.
417
00:14:45,235 --> 00:14:47,703
Let's see how better
they can do it than me.
418
00:14:49,606 --> 00:14:52,174
Leslie's pace
on the egg station
419
00:14:52,209 --> 00:14:54,610
has caused orders to back up,
420
00:14:54,645 --> 00:14:56,812
and the diners
are getting tired of waiting.
421
00:14:56,847 --> 00:14:58,781
Have you been waiting
a long time?
422
00:14:58,815 --> 00:15:01,917
- Too long
- You're hungry? - I'm starving.
423
00:15:01,952 --> 00:15:03,586
I think the blue team's
a little backed up.
424
00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:04,887
I'm gonna go check
on the kitchen
425
00:15:04,921 --> 00:15:06,155
and make sure
that food's coming, all right?
426
00:15:06,189 --> 00:15:08,457
Hang in there.
427
00:15:08,492 --> 00:15:09,458
Listen to me.
428
00:15:09,493 --> 00:15:11,394
Table two is leaving
unless they get
429
00:15:11,428 --> 00:15:12,895
the food in one minute,
okay?
430
00:15:12,929 --> 00:15:13,996
One minute.
431
00:15:14,031 --> 00:15:15,798
If we don't get the food out
432
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,367
and the table gets up
and you have a table of four,
433
00:15:18,402 --> 00:15:19,869
that's four tips
that you've lost.
434
00:15:19,903 --> 00:15:21,771
I have one minute for those
over-easy eggs
435
00:15:21,805 --> 00:15:23,539
or they're walking.
436
00:15:23,573 --> 00:15:24,707
We're working them
in the pan right now.
437
00:15:24,741 --> 00:15:25,941
We have to push it.
438
00:15:25,976 --> 00:15:27,576
A table's walking out.
439
00:15:27,611 --> 00:15:30,379
That is just unacceptable.
440
00:15:30,414 --> 00:15:32,481
Toast is burning!
441
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:33,949
Yeah, what's going on?
442
00:15:33,984 --> 00:15:34,984
They're leaving.
443
00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:37,053
Guys,
table two is walking out,
444
00:15:37,087 --> 00:15:38,988
table one is walking out.
445
00:15:39,022 --> 00:15:40,389
Eight votes down the tube
446
00:15:40,424 --> 00:15:43,426
because you couldn't
get the food out.
447
00:15:50,717 --> 00:15:52,513
Willie, table two is gone.
448
00:15:52,673 --> 00:15:54,507
Table one is walking out.
449
00:15:54,542 --> 00:15:55,708
Eight votes down the tube
450
00:15:55,743 --> 00:15:57,410
because you couldn't
get the food out.
451
00:15:57,444 --> 00:16:00,613
I need an over-easy
and a sunny-side up, Victoria.
452
00:16:00,648 --> 00:16:02,081
Forget about it.
take 'em off the line.
453
00:16:02,116 --> 00:16:04,450
These are gone. You don't need
these tickets anymore.
454
00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:06,019
These are dead.
455
00:16:06,053 --> 00:16:09,522
In today's fast-paced
diner challenge,
456
00:16:09,557 --> 00:16:12,458
customers are voting with
their MasterChef dollar,
457
00:16:12,493 --> 00:16:14,260
leaving a tip
if they are satisfied
458
00:16:14,295 --> 00:16:15,962
with their team's performance,
459
00:16:15,996 --> 00:16:18,998
and heading straight for the
door if they are disappointed.
460
00:16:23,971 --> 00:16:25,505
What do I need on eggs?
All day?
461
00:16:25,539 --> 00:16:26,673
We don't need no eggs
right now.
462
00:16:26,707 --> 00:16:27,740
They walked out.
463
00:16:27,775 --> 00:16:29,943
We lost two tables.
464
00:16:29,977 --> 00:16:32,145
But as the leader,
I have to keep calm,
465
00:16:32,445 --> 00:16:34,945
but i know that, if we dont
collect those tips,
466
00:16:35,683 --> 00:16:37,884
we can be facing
the pressure test.
467
00:16:37,918 --> 00:16:41,321
Willie, every tip counts.
Come on, guys.
468
00:16:41,355 --> 00:16:43,456
While the blue team
forges ahead,
469
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:46,626
Christine's red team
is back in full swing
470
00:16:46,660 --> 00:16:48,461
with both Elizabeth and Elise
471
00:16:48,495 --> 00:16:50,330
working
the club sandwich station.
472
00:16:50,364 --> 00:16:51,664
Club in the window.
473
00:16:51,699 --> 00:16:52,865
Thank you on that club.
474
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:54,300
Service, please.
475
00:16:54,335 --> 00:16:56,536
But just as things
are looking up,
476
00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:58,805
a red customer flags down
Gordon
477
00:16:58,839 --> 00:17:00,473
with a serious problem.
478
00:17:00,507 --> 00:17:03,476
Damn.
It's just there, isn't it?
479
00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:04,477
No.
480
00:17:04,511 --> 00:17:07,046
I'm sorry.
481
00:17:07,081 --> 00:17:09,248
Christine,
your chicken.
482
00:17:09,283 --> 00:17:11,117
Holy [bleep].
483
00:17:11,151 --> 00:17:12,385
- Christian!
- Yo!
484
00:17:12,419 --> 00:17:14,554
We just served raw chicken.
485
00:17:14,588 --> 00:17:16,889
Let me see it, let me see it.
It's raw. It's raw.
486
00:17:16,924 --> 00:17:20,059
Christian, customer's been
coming here for 35 years.
487
00:17:20,094 --> 00:17:21,327
Keep your standards up.
488
00:17:21,362 --> 00:17:22,328
Yes, chef.
489
00:17:22,363 --> 00:17:23,730
This is not good.
490
00:17:23,764 --> 00:17:27,033
If we intend on serving
raw chicken,
491
00:17:27,067 --> 00:17:29,535
then we might as well just go
home and shut it down.
492
00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:31,504
Unbelievable.
493
00:17:34,475 --> 00:17:35,908
We're all in on our customers.
494
00:17:35,943 --> 00:17:37,510
Come on, Dan. Push it.
495
00:17:37,544 --> 00:17:39,545
We can't afford any more tables
to leave.
496
00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:41,748
The last tickets are in,
497
00:17:41,782 --> 00:17:44,584
and it's all about the tips
at this moment.
498
00:17:44,618 --> 00:17:46,586
Have you eaten
at this diner before?
499
00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:49,055
- 35 years.
- Wow.
500
00:17:49,089 --> 00:17:50,089
You had the club sandwich?
501
00:17:50,124 --> 00:17:51,090
Yes.
502
00:17:51,125 --> 00:17:52,091
Is it better than the food
503
00:17:52,126 --> 00:17:53,393
that normally is at Dinah's?
504
00:17:53,427 --> 00:17:55,128
- It's as good.
- As good.
505
00:17:55,162 --> 00:17:58,564
Listen up, I need one more
fried chicken, one club.
506
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:00,900
It means everything to me
right now
507
00:18:00,934 --> 00:18:03,803
to get every single tip
into that jar.
508
00:18:09,476 --> 00:18:10,476
Club in the window!
509
00:18:10,511 --> 00:18:11,544
Yes! Yes!
510
00:18:11,578 --> 00:18:14,147
Let's go, you guys!
Push it out!
511
00:18:21,155 --> 00:18:22,722
Did you like the chicken
of the red team?
512
00:18:22,756 --> 00:18:24,490
I would have liked
the skin crunchier.
513
00:18:24,525 --> 00:18:26,392
Would you give the red team
a tip?
514
00:18:26,427 --> 00:18:28,895
I'm... I'm torn because
I didn't like the green beans.
515
00:18:28,929 --> 00:18:30,797
- No more tickets.
- No more tickets. Good job!
516
00:18:30,831 --> 00:18:32,999
Go, you guys.
Y'all amazing.
517
00:18:35,202 --> 00:18:36,502
Red team, blue team.
518
00:18:36,537 --> 00:18:37,503
Yes, chef.
519
00:18:37,538 --> 00:18:38,538
Your shift is over.
520
00:18:38,572 --> 00:18:39,972
Please give a round of applause.
Well done.
521
00:18:44,244 --> 00:18:45,511
Okay.
522
00:18:45,546 --> 00:18:50,116
Joe, Graham, and myself
are going to count up the tips.
523
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:53,352
And we'll see you back
in the MasterChef kitchen
524
00:18:53,387 --> 00:18:56,289
tomorrow
where the winning team
525
00:18:56,323 --> 00:18:57,790
will be safe from elimination.
526
00:18:57,825 --> 00:19:00,093
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you so much.
527
00:19:01,395 --> 00:19:03,296
Let's go.
528
00:19:16,176 --> 00:19:18,711
There was a couple of moments
where we fell bad.
529
00:19:18,746 --> 00:19:20,613
I know, right?
530
00:19:20,647 --> 00:19:22,415
We had not a single table
walk out.
531
00:19:22,449 --> 00:19:23,850
I hope that means something.
532
00:19:23,884 --> 00:19:26,319
Yeah, right?
533
00:19:26,353 --> 00:19:27,787
Leslie, you're being quiet.
534
00:19:27,821 --> 00:19:29,989
I try and keep my mouth shut
during challenges.
535
00:19:31,792 --> 00:19:33,493
When will you apply that
to the rest of your life?
536
00:19:33,527 --> 00:19:35,461
Ooh!
537
00:19:35,496 --> 00:19:37,063
I'm not gonna acknowledge you.
538
00:19:37,097 --> 00:19:38,831
I'm just... as far as I'm
concerned, you don't exist,
539
00:19:38,866 --> 00:19:41,134
So I'm gonna leave it
at that.
540
00:19:41,168 --> 00:19:42,268
What do we do
541
00:19:42,302 --> 00:19:44,270
if we don't win?
542
00:19:44,304 --> 00:19:45,671
We gonna be on
the balcony looking down,
543
00:19:45,706 --> 00:19:47,373
so that's the way I feel,
you know?
544
00:19:47,407 --> 00:19:50,777
I feel proud that I was able
to lead
545
00:19:50,811 --> 00:19:52,211
these wonderful cooks.
546
00:19:52,246 --> 00:19:55,014
But if we do go
into a pressure test,
547
00:19:55,048 --> 00:19:57,483
I will take responsibility
for my team losing.
548
00:20:04,525 --> 00:20:07,059
Walking into the kitchen today,
I'm feeling a little shaky.
549
00:20:07,094 --> 00:20:08,561
I haven't been in
a pressure test at this point,
550
00:20:08,595 --> 00:20:11,597
and I definitely don't want
to start now.
551
00:20:13,767 --> 00:20:15,067
You want to bring on
a pressure test,
552
00:20:15,102 --> 00:20:16,302
bring it on.
553
00:20:16,336 --> 00:20:19,005
I've already been, what,
through two already?
554
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,908
Yesterday, we asked you
14 home cooks
555
00:20:21,942 --> 00:20:25,511
to step up and get a taste
of it's like to be
556
00:20:25,546 --> 00:20:27,146
in a professional
working kitchen.
557
00:20:27,181 --> 00:20:29,015
Both teams performed admirably.
558
00:20:29,049 --> 00:20:32,785
But unfortunately, one team
559
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:35,855
will be facing
the dreaded pressure test.
560
00:20:35,889 --> 00:20:37,190
Each team was responsible
561
00:20:37,224 --> 00:20:38,958
for one side of the dining room.
562
00:20:38,992 --> 00:20:40,626
Each customer at the diner
was asked
563
00:20:40,661 --> 00:20:42,895
to tip one dollar
if they were satisfied
564
00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:46,399
with the quality of their food
and the speed it got to them.
565
00:20:46,433 --> 00:20:48,100
We've counted the tips.
566
00:20:48,135 --> 00:20:50,803
And it's close.
Very, very close.
567
00:20:50,838 --> 00:20:54,173
One team made $87 in tips
568
00:20:54,208 --> 00:20:59,312
and the other team made $82.
569
00:20:59,346 --> 00:21:03,115
There's a difference
of just five tips between teams.
570
00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:04,483
That's so close.
571
00:21:04,518 --> 00:21:06,152
I could be cooking today,
572
00:21:06,186 --> 00:21:07,920
and I have to be ready
for that outcome.
573
00:21:07,955 --> 00:21:10,122
The team with
574
00:21:10,157 --> 00:21:14,227
the most amount
of tips...
575
00:21:14,261 --> 00:21:17,263
was...
576
00:21:23,689 --> 00:21:26,861
The team with
the most amount of tips...
577
00:21:28,098 --> 00:21:29,891
was...
578
00:21:32,403 --> 00:21:34,696
Red team.
Well done.
579
00:21:36,780 --> 00:21:39,182
Congratulations,
Christine and the red team.
580
00:21:39,216 --> 00:21:40,950
Please,
head up to the balcony.
581
00:21:40,984 --> 00:21:43,486
Thank you, thank you.
582
00:21:45,189 --> 00:21:48,324
Blue team, you guys will be
needing these.
583
00:21:52,029 --> 00:21:53,729
I think the blue team
underestimated
584
00:21:53,764 --> 00:21:56,566
just how well the girls can do.
585
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,867
Take that, blue team.
586
00:21:57,901 --> 00:21:59,235
That goes out to all the men
587
00:21:59,269 --> 00:22:02,271
that don't want to pick
a girl on their team.
588
00:22:02,306 --> 00:22:04,273
Boom.
589
00:22:04,308 --> 00:22:05,541
Blue team,
590
00:22:05,576 --> 00:22:09,745
you will now face
the dreaded pressure test,
591
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:11,681
where at least one of you
will be walking
592
00:22:11,715 --> 00:22:14,050
out of those doors at the end.
593
00:22:15,385 --> 00:22:16,352
Big Willie,
594
00:22:16,386 --> 00:22:19,222
as captain, your choice is
595
00:22:19,256 --> 00:22:24,927
you can now save three members
of your team.
596
00:22:26,396 --> 00:22:31,100
Or... you can save yourself.
597
00:22:31,134 --> 00:22:33,903
But
if you do save yourself,
598
00:22:33,937 --> 00:22:37,707
everyone else on your team
will have to cook.
599
00:22:42,913 --> 00:22:45,081
Uh, chef...
Be smart.
600
00:22:45,115 --> 00:22:48,818
There's a very serious
pressure test coming up.
601
00:22:48,852 --> 00:22:51,220
Knowing Willie,
he's gonna pull, like,
602
00:22:51,255 --> 00:22:52,622
a good-person card
603
00:22:52,656 --> 00:22:55,791
and save three other people...
I know it.
604
00:22:55,826 --> 00:22:57,460
This is a competition.
605
00:22:57,494 --> 00:23:01,530
I would save myself.
606
00:23:01,565 --> 00:23:04,433
I'm saving three people, chef.
607
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:05,735
Why?
608
00:23:05,769 --> 00:23:07,503
I am a man of integrity.
609
00:23:07,537 --> 00:23:10,506
I led the team.
It's my fault.
610
00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:11,741
I'm willing to take it.
611
00:23:11,775 --> 00:23:12,909
Very admirable.
612
00:23:12,943 --> 00:23:16,646
Tell me the first name, please,
young man.
613
00:23:19,349 --> 00:23:21,884
This first person
that I'm going to save
614
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:23,419
hadn't it been for them,
615
00:23:23,453 --> 00:23:24,520
we've probably
would have been
616
00:23:24,554 --> 00:23:25,988
down by a landslide.
617
00:23:26,023 --> 00:23:29,292
And for that reason,
i choose to pick Daniel.
618
00:23:30,527 --> 00:23:32,495
Daniel, you've been saved
619
00:23:32,529 --> 00:23:34,463
twice now
from pressure tests.
620
00:23:34,498 --> 00:23:35,464
Yeah.
621
00:23:35,499 --> 00:23:36,832
Something we don't know?
622
00:23:36,867 --> 00:23:38,200
I don't think I've hurt anybody,
623
00:23:38,235 --> 00:23:40,169
- or made any enemies.
- No?
624
00:23:40,203 --> 00:23:41,470
And I think that's working
for me.
625
00:23:41,505 --> 00:23:43,506
Except for Leslie
who's cackling right here,
626
00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:45,308
because he doesn't know
how to be a grown-up.
627
00:23:45,342 --> 00:23:46,943
Even though
he's the oldest man here,
628
00:23:46,977 --> 00:23:48,377
he's a child.
629
00:23:48,412 --> 00:23:50,079
Otherwise,
I think I have the respect
630
00:23:50,113 --> 00:23:51,247
of everybody else
in this kitchen.
631
00:23:51,281 --> 00:23:53,516
Okay. Head up.
Congratulations.
632
00:23:53,550 --> 00:23:54,550
You're through
to the next round.
633
00:23:54,584 --> 00:23:56,052
Well done.
Good job.
634
00:23:56,086 --> 00:23:57,687
What did Daniel do besides
635
00:23:57,721 --> 00:23:59,922
stand up front
and do nothing
636
00:23:59,957 --> 00:24:01,991
when we needed him
in the back?
637
00:24:02,025 --> 00:24:02,992
Okay, Big Willie.
638
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:04,193
Two more saves for you.
639
00:24:04,227 --> 00:24:06,495
This person really shined
640
00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:08,631
in the kitchen
in spite of everything.
641
00:24:08,665 --> 00:24:11,000
Scottish Francis.
642
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:12,001
- Thank you.
- You're safe.
643
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:17,039
Congratulations.
644
00:24:17,074 --> 00:24:18,240
Last choice.
645
00:24:20,944 --> 00:24:22,745
This person,
646
00:24:22,779 --> 00:24:25,348
I was very happy
with their performance, chef.
647
00:24:25,382 --> 00:24:27,550
- I'm picking Victoria.
- Wow.
648
00:24:27,584 --> 00:24:29,352
Thank you so much.
649
00:24:29,386 --> 00:24:30,886
Go on up.
650
00:24:33,423 --> 00:24:37,326
So, Willie,
Leslie, Dan, and Cutter,
651
00:24:37,361 --> 00:24:41,664
you will all be cooking
in tonight's pressure test.
652
00:24:41,698 --> 00:24:46,035
One of you four home cooks are
about to make their last dish
653
00:24:46,069 --> 00:24:49,038
in the MasterChef kitchen.
654
00:24:49,072 --> 00:24:50,439
Are you guys ready to find out
655
00:24:50,474 --> 00:24:52,875
what you will be cooking
in order to survive?
656
00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:54,744
Yes, chef.
657
00:24:54,778 --> 00:24:56,812
Beautiful, moist,
658
00:24:56,847 --> 00:25:00,416
delicious...
659
00:25:00,450 --> 00:25:02,885
Red velvet cake.
660
00:25:02,919 --> 00:25:04,987
A southern classic.
661
00:25:05,022 --> 00:25:05,988
Oh.
662
00:25:06,023 --> 00:25:07,690
Look at it.
663
00:25:07,724 --> 00:25:10,526
Elegant, delicious,
664
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,594
beautiful.
665
00:25:11,628 --> 00:25:15,898
It's a slice of magic.
666
00:25:15,932 --> 00:25:18,634
You've got
the cream cheese frosting
667
00:25:18,668 --> 00:25:21,737
contrasted with that
wonderful, dense sponge.
668
00:25:21,772 --> 00:25:24,473
Each layer perfectly formed...
669
00:25:24,508 --> 00:25:26,342
a cake to die for.
670
00:25:26,376 --> 00:25:28,244
Mmm.
671
00:25:28,278 --> 00:25:31,580
We want at least
three delectable layers
672
00:25:31,615 --> 00:25:33,049
of stunning cake.
673
00:25:33,083 --> 00:25:36,952
Now, it's time to head
to your stations.
674
00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:41,891
On your stations,
you'll find everything you need
675
00:25:41,925 --> 00:25:45,161
to make your cake...
Butter, flour, sugar,
676
00:25:45,195 --> 00:25:47,963
eggs, buttermilk,
white vinegar,
677
00:25:47,998 --> 00:25:49,899
cream cheese,
and food coloring.
678
00:25:49,933 --> 00:25:52,201
Now, is everybody ready?
679
00:25:52,235 --> 00:25:53,436
Yes, chef.
680
00:25:53,470 --> 00:25:58,107
Your 90 minutes starts...
681
00:25:58,141 --> 00:25:59,942
Now.
682
00:26:04,648 --> 00:26:06,415
You know, I'm looking to take
on every challenge
683
00:26:06,450 --> 00:26:07,616
as a new day
in the MasterChef kitchen,
684
00:26:07,651 --> 00:26:09,285
and hopefully
it comes out well
685
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:12,154
and I can show the chefs
that I really am here to play.
686
00:26:12,189 --> 00:26:13,355
I'm not terribly happy about
687
00:26:13,390 --> 00:26:15,157
having to cook
in the pressure test.
688
00:26:15,192 --> 00:26:17,660
I'm not happy about having
to do cake, that's for sure.
689
00:26:17,694 --> 00:26:19,695
All right, guys.
Red velvet cake.
690
00:26:19,729 --> 00:26:22,298
What's gonna be the difficulty
in making it in this challenge?
691
00:26:22,332 --> 00:26:25,267
The secret behind
a great sponge
692
00:26:25,302 --> 00:26:26,602
is the density of
that batter...
693
00:26:26,636 --> 00:26:28,637
How you incorporate
that sugar and the eggs.
694
00:26:28,672 --> 00:26:30,706
25 minutes to cook in the oven,
so they gotta get that
695
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:31,874
in the oven within
the first 30 minutes
696
00:26:31,908 --> 00:26:33,309
once that batter's
been made.
697
00:26:33,343 --> 00:26:34,677
And the cream cheese icing
698
00:26:34,711 --> 00:26:36,212
has to be slightly tangy,
right?
699
00:26:36,246 --> 00:26:37,480
And make sure that
that cream cheese
700
00:26:37,514 --> 00:26:39,682
is thick enough
to almost act as a glue.
701
00:26:46,790 --> 00:26:48,390
I know, I know.
702
00:26:48,425 --> 00:26:49,859
I'm always cool and calm
in the kitchen.
703
00:26:49,893 --> 00:26:51,560
I don't need
running around
704
00:26:51,595 --> 00:26:53,329
like the rest of these folks
around here.
705
00:26:53,363 --> 00:26:55,164
I just do what I do.
706
00:26:55,198 --> 00:26:56,799
Right, uh, Big Willie,
how you doing?
707
00:26:56,833 --> 00:26:57,967
I'm doing pretty good,
chef.
708
00:26:58,001 --> 00:27:01,070
How many times
have you made a velvet cake?
709
00:27:01,104 --> 00:27:03,572
- Oh, several times. - And do
you always put pecans in there?
710
00:27:03,607 --> 00:27:05,007
I'm gonna roast them,
and then I'm gonna
711
00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:06,976
crush 'em up
and then pat them on the side.
712
00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:07,977
How do you keep
your cake moist?
713
00:27:08,011 --> 00:27:10,279
It's about not over-working it.
714
00:27:10,313 --> 00:27:12,081
So that's why I did mine
in a bowl,
715
00:27:12,115 --> 00:27:14,517
because if you're not familiar
with the mixer,
716
00:27:14,551 --> 00:27:16,318
you can possibly overwork it.
717
00:27:16,353 --> 00:27:17,353
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
718
00:27:19,256 --> 00:27:20,422
Leslie.
719
00:27:20,457 --> 00:27:21,857
How do you feel
about baking?
720
00:27:21,892 --> 00:27:23,692
I'm loving it.
There's no pressure here.
721
00:27:23,727 --> 00:27:26,061
I'm just... this is another walk
in the park for me.
722
00:27:26,096 --> 00:27:27,696
Shut up and cook.
723
00:27:27,731 --> 00:27:29,198
What are you gonna do
with the pistachios?
724
00:27:29,232 --> 00:27:31,100
- I don't know, I might dust,
you know. - Dust?
725
00:27:31,134 --> 00:27:32,268
It's just an idea.
726
00:27:32,302 --> 00:27:33,903
What happened between you
and Daniel now?
727
00:27:33,937 --> 00:27:36,605
You know, if Daniel's
quick to criticize,
728
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,507
but he's not quick to help,
you know?
729
00:27:38,542 --> 00:27:39,708
I put him on my team,
and instead
730
00:27:39,743 --> 00:27:41,043
of supporting me
like I supported him,
731
00:27:41,077 --> 00:27:42,945
he puts a knife in my back.
732
00:27:42,979 --> 00:27:45,247
And that's fine... I have
plenty of knives in my back.
733
00:27:45,282 --> 00:27:47,616
Oh, my god,
he's an idiot.
734
00:27:50,754 --> 00:27:51,887
Oh, it smells good.
735
00:27:51,922 --> 00:27:53,189
Well, it's smelling
like something.
736
00:27:54,591 --> 00:27:55,791
All right, Cutter.
737
00:27:55,825 --> 00:27:57,026
Talk to me about
velvet cake.
738
00:27:57,060 --> 00:27:58,727
Never made one,
but I've eaten plenty of 'em.
739
00:27:58,762 --> 00:27:59,962
Frosting, what are you doing
with the frosting?
740
00:27:59,996 --> 00:28:02,198
I'm doing a cream cheese frosting,
741
00:28:02,232 --> 00:28:03,732
maybe some little decorative art
on the top?
742
00:28:03,767 --> 00:28:05,134
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
743
00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:11,407
Ugh.
744
00:28:12,609 --> 00:28:14,276
You should have your cakes
745
00:28:14,311 --> 00:28:15,644
in the oven by now.
746
00:28:15,679 --> 00:28:17,746
My problem with baking is
747
00:28:17,781 --> 00:28:19,415
whatever ratio I think
I have in my head
748
00:28:19,449 --> 00:28:22,785
I'm very leery
about messing with it.
749
00:28:22,819 --> 00:28:24,153
What is Dan Wu doing?
750
00:28:24,187 --> 00:28:25,487
But at the same time,
751
00:28:25,522 --> 00:28:27,523
it has to look the way
it's supposed to look.
752
00:28:27,557 --> 00:28:29,325
He needs to get that thing
in the oven
753
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,260
or he is gonna go home.
754
00:28:31,294 --> 00:28:33,596
You can tell how thick
it is.
755
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:35,864
No, no, no, not yet.
Not yet.
756
00:28:42,829 --> 00:28:44,329
In this pressure test,
757
00:28:44,363 --> 00:28:47,065
four home cooks are tasked
with creating
758
00:28:47,099 --> 00:28:49,768
a gorgeous three-layer
red velvet cake.
759
00:28:49,802 --> 00:28:52,270
13 minutes remaining.
760
00:28:52,305 --> 00:28:54,539
Those cakes should be out
the oven by now.
761
00:28:54,574 --> 00:28:56,208
Part of being in
this competition
762
00:28:56,242 --> 00:28:57,209
is getting out of
your comfort zone
763
00:28:57,243 --> 00:28:58,376
and doing things that...
764
00:28:58,411 --> 00:29:00,912
you may not think you can do.
765
00:29:03,983 --> 00:29:05,851
I smell cake!
766
00:29:08,087 --> 00:29:09,688
The cakes just came
out of the oven.
767
00:29:09,722 --> 00:29:11,189
I mean, it's a layered cake,
768
00:29:11,224 --> 00:29:13,558
so it's really important that
they trim them, top and bottom.
769
00:29:13,593 --> 00:29:14,960
I think that's a big thing,
770
00:29:14,994 --> 00:29:16,628
especially for home cooks,
that they don't know...
771
00:29:16,662 --> 00:29:18,263
they pull them out
and they start stacking
772
00:29:18,297 --> 00:29:19,931
versus slicing
that little top part
773
00:29:19,966 --> 00:29:22,400
so that it builds
like a block.
774
00:29:22,435 --> 00:29:25,937
Guys, just over
20 minutes remaining.
775
00:29:28,908 --> 00:29:30,041
[bleep].
776
00:29:31,844 --> 00:29:32,944
All right, guys.
777
00:29:32,979 --> 00:29:34,546
This is Leslie's
third pressure test.
778
00:29:34,580 --> 00:29:35,881
Every time, he bounces back,
779
00:29:35,915 --> 00:29:37,649
he's like an old dog
that you cannot put down.
780
00:29:37,683 --> 00:29:39,150
Willie's got
a lot of confidence.
781
00:29:39,185 --> 00:29:40,585
This is right
in his wheelhouse.
782
00:29:40,620 --> 00:29:43,388
I'm really worried
about both Dan and Cutter.
783
00:29:43,422 --> 00:29:45,190
Dan Wu, you can see
the cake already
784
00:29:45,224 --> 00:29:46,591
starting to look uneven.
785
00:29:46,626 --> 00:29:48,093
You start with uneven cake,
you finish with uneven cake.
786
00:29:48,127 --> 00:29:51,129
- So he is not looking confident.
- Cake is brown.
787
00:29:51,163 --> 00:29:53,798
Cutter in the back is doing
different color icings.
788
00:29:53,833 --> 00:29:55,333
I'm really surprised
that Cutter
789
00:29:55,368 --> 00:29:56,835
is taking this much time
decorating.
790
00:29:56,869 --> 00:30:01,072
Yeah, but is that compensating
for the lack of taste?
791
00:30:01,107 --> 00:30:03,108
90 seconds to go.
792
00:30:03,142 --> 00:30:05,176
Come on, guys.
793
00:30:05,211 --> 00:30:07,579
- I'm pretty much screwed here.
- He's in trouble.
794
00:30:09,382 --> 00:30:10,615
Finishing touches, let's go.
795
00:30:10,650 --> 00:30:13,351
Ten seconds to go.
796
00:30:13,386 --> 00:30:15,520
Nine, eight,
797
00:30:15,555 --> 00:30:16,788
seven,
798
00:30:16,822 --> 00:30:21,459
six, five, four,
799
00:30:21,494 --> 00:30:24,262
three, two, one.
800
00:30:24,297 --> 00:30:26,097
Cakes down.
Well done.
801
00:30:26,132 --> 00:30:28,867
Well done.
802
00:30:28,901 --> 00:30:30,168
Whoo!
803
00:30:30,202 --> 00:30:31,503
Brilliant, it's time to taste them
804
00:30:31,537 --> 00:30:33,371
and find out
who will be leaving
805
00:30:33,406 --> 00:30:35,874
the MasterChef kitchen
tonight.
806
00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:38,209
The way my cake is looking
right now,
807
00:30:38,244 --> 00:30:39,311
I'm happy with it.
808
00:30:39,345 --> 00:30:40,779
Everything is leveled right
809
00:30:40,813 --> 00:30:43,315
like it just came out
a bakery.
810
00:30:43,349 --> 00:30:45,517
Big Willie,
describe your red velvet cake.
811
00:30:45,551 --> 00:30:47,786
You have
a classic red velvet cake
812
00:30:47,820 --> 00:30:51,556
with cream cheese frosting
dusted with toasted pecans.
813
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:57,329
Visually,
it's slightly skew-whiff.
814
00:30:57,363 --> 00:30:59,030
It slopes down.
815
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:00,865
- It's like a lazy lump.
- Oh.
816
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:02,300
However, I mean,
it looks good.
817
00:31:03,869 --> 00:31:06,504
Nice firm texture
on the sponge.
818
00:31:08,541 --> 00:31:12,210
A layer cake is all
about the ratios, right?
819
00:31:12,244 --> 00:31:13,311
Yes.
820
00:31:13,346 --> 00:31:15,914
And... Big Willie.
821
00:31:17,416 --> 00:31:19,150
Gorgeous.
822
00:31:19,185 --> 00:31:22,220
Love the color
for that nice ruby red.
823
00:31:22,254 --> 00:31:23,488
Now for the taste.
824
00:31:23,522 --> 00:31:26,057
Goes through beautifully
with a fork.
825
00:31:30,029 --> 00:31:31,997
The actual frosting is delicious.
826
00:31:32,031 --> 00:31:34,099
You've really got the batter
absolutely perfectly right.
827
00:31:34,133 --> 00:31:35,500
- Great performance.
- Thank you.
828
00:31:35,534 --> 00:31:36,768
- Great job.
- Thank you, chef.
829
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,174
It's moist,
pretty near perfect.
830
00:31:43,209 --> 00:31:45,577
I think more than anything,
you've put your heart and soul
831
00:31:45,611 --> 00:31:46,578
on the plate.
832
00:31:46,612 --> 00:31:49,047
So, delicious.
Thank you.
833
00:31:50,116 --> 00:31:52,484
Leslie,
good-looking cake.
834
00:31:52,518 --> 00:31:54,085
What's the green stuff
on top?
835
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,286
Pistachio.
836
00:31:55,321 --> 00:31:57,422
Just to add a little salt
to the sweetness.
837
00:32:05,264 --> 00:32:06,965
It's very good.
It's moist.
838
00:32:06,999 --> 00:32:08,500
I like the addition
of pistachios.
839
00:32:08,534 --> 00:32:09,534
I thought I wouldn't.
840
00:32:09,568 --> 00:32:11,369
Construction is good, you know?
841
00:32:11,404 --> 00:32:12,404
In your mind, are you starting
to believe
842
00:32:12,438 --> 00:32:14,039
that you could actually
win this?
843
00:32:14,073 --> 00:32:15,607
If I don't believe,
who else will?
844
00:32:15,641 --> 00:32:16,908
- Certainly not Daniel.
- Oh, no.
845
00:32:16,942 --> 00:32:19,644
None of them up there.
What are you, kidding me?
846
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:21,813
Why is it that there's such
antagonism toward you, Leslie?
847
00:32:21,847 --> 00:32:23,314
You wanna to know what?
848
00:32:23,349 --> 00:32:24,582
I don't know.
849
00:32:25,651 --> 00:32:27,519
What's so funny?
850
00:32:27,553 --> 00:32:28,787
I just love how he doesn't
even see his own mistakes
851
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:29,954
and why everybody
doesn't like him.
852
00:32:30,990 --> 00:32:32,057
He's a one-trick pony.
853
00:32:32,091 --> 00:32:34,259
I have to say, Cutter,
i disagree.
854
00:32:34,293 --> 00:32:35,827
You don't know me.
So don't even talk.
855
00:32:35,861 --> 00:32:37,128
I've gotten to know you.
Trust me.
856
00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:38,763
Get on your horse
and ride home.
857
00:32:38,798 --> 00:32:40,432
That's fine.
858
00:32:40,466 --> 00:32:41,800
It is a good cake.
859
00:32:41,834 --> 00:32:43,168
Thank you.
860
00:32:43,202 --> 00:32:44,836
We're not here to
moderate or judge wars
861
00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:45,870
between contestants.
862
00:32:45,905 --> 00:32:46,938
That's not what we do.
863
00:32:46,972 --> 00:32:48,673
We taste the food,
864
00:32:48,708 --> 00:32:50,608
and they don't decide
who the next MasterChef is.
865
00:32:50,643 --> 00:32:52,444
- I don't... psh. Doesn't bother me.
- We do.
866
00:32:52,478 --> 00:32:53,678
I know that.
867
00:32:53,713 --> 00:32:54,779
And that's why
I'm here to impress you.
868
00:32:54,814 --> 00:32:56,448
I don't care.
869
00:32:58,317 --> 00:32:59,584
Wow.
870
00:32:59,618 --> 00:33:00,618
That looks nice.
871
00:33:02,188 --> 00:33:03,488
Mmm.
872
00:33:03,522 --> 00:33:05,390
Frosting's delicious.
What's in there?
873
00:33:05,424 --> 00:33:06,791
A little vanilla,
874
00:33:06,826 --> 00:33:08,626
lots of butter,
lots of cream.
875
00:33:08,661 --> 00:33:09,828
and a lot of love.
876
00:33:09,862 --> 00:33:10,995
I think there's something
quite intriguing
877
00:33:11,030 --> 00:33:12,731
about the more pressure
you're under,
878
00:33:12,765 --> 00:33:13,832
the better you become.
879
00:33:13,866 --> 00:33:14,833
I'm hoping so.
880
00:33:14,867 --> 00:33:16,167
- Great job.
- Thank you.
881
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:17,502
Thank you.
882
00:33:20,306 --> 00:33:22,207
Dan, there was
an overall feeling
883
00:33:22,241 --> 00:33:24,142
that you were struggling
through that challenge.
884
00:33:24,176 --> 00:33:25,210
What happened?
885
00:33:25,244 --> 00:33:27,045
I got off to a decent start,
886
00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:30,215
made a couple of mistakes,
got frazzled.
887
00:33:30,249 --> 00:33:31,950
Did not level off
the cake enough.
888
00:33:31,984 --> 00:33:34,452
So it's a little uneven.
889
00:33:34,487 --> 00:33:36,955
It's a little hard too,
compared to the other ones.
890
00:33:36,989 --> 00:33:38,823
It's a little tougher
to cut through.
891
00:33:38,858 --> 00:33:40,825
Yeah, I overcooked it
a tad as well.
892
00:33:40,860 --> 00:33:41,993
You overcooked it.
893
00:33:50,302 --> 00:33:51,803
And there you have it.
894
00:33:51,837 --> 00:33:53,071
This is red velvet cake.
895
00:33:53,105 --> 00:33:54,472
Yours is like a...
896
00:33:54,507 --> 00:33:55,974
Boiled wool cake.
897
00:33:56,008 --> 00:33:58,076
It's got like
a wooly texture,
898
00:33:58,110 --> 00:34:00,645
not velvety and soft.
899
00:34:00,679 --> 00:34:04,215
Yours has a definite
homemade texture to it.
900
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:06,518
But, you know,
if yours is homemade,
901
00:34:06,552 --> 00:34:09,487
his looks like it might
be child-made, so...
902
00:34:09,522 --> 00:34:12,524
We still got one more cake
to taste.
903
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:18,363
Okay, Cutter.
904
00:34:18,397 --> 00:34:20,298
Describe your cake,
please.
905
00:34:20,332 --> 00:34:22,433
I made a red velvet cake
with equal layers
906
00:34:22,468 --> 00:34:24,469
with a good
cream cheese frosting.
907
00:34:24,503 --> 00:34:25,503
What is that on top?
908
00:34:25,538 --> 00:34:26,771
It's the American flag.
909
00:34:26,806 --> 00:34:29,240
Okay. Must admire how much you
love your country.
910
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:31,142
I've never quite seen
a flag like that.
911
00:34:31,177 --> 00:34:32,343
Yeah, I know.
I ran out of time.
912
00:34:32,378 --> 00:34:33,912
And the outside of the cake
913
00:34:33,946 --> 00:34:35,246
looks like a hairy back.
What is that?
914
00:34:35,281 --> 00:34:37,282
Yeah, I...
915
00:34:37,316 --> 00:34:38,716
I shouldn't have added it.
916
00:34:38,751 --> 00:34:40,351
- Do you have a hairy back?
- Yeah, I do, actually.
917
00:34:40,386 --> 00:34:41,352
Is it modeled
on the side of that?
918
00:34:41,387 --> 00:34:42,687
Pretty much.
919
00:34:42,721 --> 00:34:44,389
Okay, so...
920
00:34:44,423 --> 00:34:45,523
The outside
looks ridiculous.
921
00:34:45,558 --> 00:34:47,392
I'm hoping inside
tastes delicious.
922
00:34:48,828 --> 00:34:50,195
Wow.
923
00:34:50,229 --> 00:34:52,964
That's a generous portion
of frosting.
924
00:34:52,998 --> 00:34:54,132
Holy mackerel.
925
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:56,401
However,
I'm all about taste.
926
00:35:01,106 --> 00:35:02,140
Moist, delicious.
927
00:35:02,174 --> 00:35:04,042
But it is so sweet.
928
00:35:04,076 --> 00:35:07,245
I mean, take a little bite
929
00:35:07,279 --> 00:35:08,680
and just get a little gist
of what I'm saying.
930
00:35:08,714 --> 00:35:10,215
It's sticking to the roof
of my mouth
931
00:35:10,249 --> 00:35:11,316
and on my first mouthful.
932
00:35:11,350 --> 00:35:13,251
You cooked
the sponge beautifully.
933
00:35:13,285 --> 00:35:14,919
However,
it's about that ratio.
934
00:35:14,954 --> 00:35:17,488
You've got to get
that balance right, Cutter.
935
00:35:17,523 --> 00:35:18,623
Damn.
936
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,894
So just visually,
937
00:35:22,928 --> 00:35:25,063
the frosting
looks really heavy.
938
00:35:25,097 --> 00:35:26,097
I think it's a good cake.
939
00:35:26,131 --> 00:35:27,932
I don't think
it's too sweet.
940
00:35:27,967 --> 00:35:29,968
I have to disagree
with chef Ramsay.
941
00:35:30,002 --> 00:35:31,803
I think it actually
tastes pretty good to me.
942
00:35:31,837 --> 00:35:33,504
I think just everybody has
a different palate.
943
00:35:33,539 --> 00:35:35,540
But I mean,
I think it's one thing
944
00:35:35,574 --> 00:35:37,242
if somebody gives you
their feedback
945
00:35:37,276 --> 00:35:39,244
for you to be
humble enough to say...
946
00:35:39,278 --> 00:35:40,411
Right, and that's what
I'm trying to figure out
947
00:35:40,446 --> 00:35:41,779
- where the balance is...
- Just let me finish.
948
00:35:41,814 --> 00:35:43,014
You don't want
to just sit there
949
00:35:43,048 --> 00:35:44,349
and say, "I stand by it."
950
00:35:44,383 --> 00:35:46,150
No, no, no, I just wanted...
that's not... I'm sorry.
951
00:35:46,185 --> 00:35:47,886
That's not what I meant
for it to come out like.
952
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,954
I just want to understand
what is considered too sweet.
953
00:35:49,989 --> 00:35:51,522
Well, now you know that this
954
00:35:51,557 --> 00:35:54,792
is considered over sweet.
955
00:35:54,827 --> 00:35:58,463
You need to show him
how to shut the [bleep] up.
956
00:35:58,497 --> 00:36:00,632
I'm not following.
what's the discussion here?
957
00:36:00,666 --> 00:36:02,867
- What don't you agree with?
- It's not that I don't agree.
958
00:36:02,902 --> 00:36:04,402
Okay, let's change that,
okay?
959
00:36:04,436 --> 00:36:05,837
Let's get that straight.
960
00:36:05,871 --> 00:36:07,038
I'm trying to learn here.
961
00:36:07,072 --> 00:36:08,206
I taste cream cheese,
962
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,207
and that's what
I'm trying to understand
963
00:36:09,241 --> 00:36:10,842
is what's considered
more sweet.
964
00:36:10,876 --> 00:36:14,279
Are you the kind of guy
who lives in a delusion?
965
00:36:14,313 --> 00:36:16,981
- Like, if any time we
tell you something... - Not at all.
966
00:36:17,016 --> 00:36:18,516
You're gonna become
so defensive...
967
00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:20,351
Look, I'm on the edge of going
home. I'll be honest with you.
968
00:36:20,386 --> 00:36:21,552
I'm on the edge of going home.
969
00:36:21,587 --> 00:36:23,021
Baking sucks for me.
970
00:36:23,055 --> 00:36:24,022
Wow.
971
00:36:24,056 --> 00:36:25,223
I do get defensive because
972
00:36:25,257 --> 00:36:26,858
I do feel like I've put
my passion and my heart
973
00:36:26,892 --> 00:36:28,159
into everything I put in.
974
00:36:28,193 --> 00:36:29,928
If you think Gordon's palate
is terrible,
975
00:36:29,962 --> 00:36:31,396
you're allowed
to think that.
976
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:34,132
That's not what I said at all.
Don't put words in my mouth.
977
00:36:34,166 --> 00:36:35,967
Shut up, dude.
978
00:36:36,001 --> 00:36:37,702
Cutter's just there shooting
himself in the foot.
979
00:36:37,736 --> 00:36:40,071
Why would you mouth off
to Joe?
980
00:36:40,105 --> 00:36:43,341
And why would you have anything
to say other than "Yes, sir"?
981
00:36:43,375 --> 00:36:45,944
I think that you have
to have respect
982
00:36:45,978 --> 00:36:48,680
- for us and our opinions
and what we tell... - I do.
983
00:36:48,714 --> 00:36:51,049
I'm trying my damndest.
All I do is get hammered.
984
00:36:51,083 --> 00:36:52,483
All you do is interrupt me
when I'm talking to you,
985
00:36:52,518 --> 00:36:55,153
and you sound ignorant,
Cutter.
986
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,418
Baking sucks for me.
All right?
987
00:37:04,498 --> 00:37:06,023
- Wow.
- Yeah, I do get defensive
988
00:37:06,103 --> 00:37:07,352
because I do feel like
I've put
989
00:37:07,432 --> 00:37:09,273
my passion and my heart
into everything I put in.
990
00:37:09,307 --> 00:37:10,932
If you think Gordon's palate
is terrible,
991
00:37:11,012 --> 00:37:12,009
you're allowed
to think that.
992
00:37:12,089 --> 00:37:14,625
That's not what I said at all.
don't put words in my mouth.
993
00:37:15,388 --> 00:37:16,588
Shut up, dude.
994
00:37:16,622 --> 00:37:18,190
I'm trying my damndest.
all I do is get hammered.
995
00:37:18,224 --> 00:37:19,925
All you do is interrupt me
when I'm talking to you,
996
00:37:19,959 --> 00:37:22,394
and you sound ignorant,
Cutter.
997
00:37:22,428 --> 00:37:24,796
In your opinion,
who should we send home?
998
00:37:24,831 --> 00:37:26,665
iI my opinion,
for what you're looking for
999
00:37:26,699 --> 00:37:27,799
in a true MasterChef,
1000
00:37:27,834 --> 00:37:29,768
I think you should send
Leslie home.
1001
00:37:35,975 --> 00:37:37,876
It's all a big circle, Leslie.
1002
00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:39,611
You laugh,
but it's all a big circle.
1003
00:37:39,645 --> 00:37:43,448
I'm not even talking to you.
Are you still here?
1004
00:37:43,483 --> 00:37:45,217
Willie, Leslie, Dan, Cutter,
1005
00:37:45,251 --> 00:37:46,818
unfortunately tonight,
1006
00:37:46,853 --> 00:37:48,954
at least one of you
is leaving this competition.
1007
00:37:48,988 --> 00:37:51,223
Please, excuse us.
1008
00:37:51,257 --> 00:37:53,892
We need a moment to discuss.
Thank you.
1009
00:37:55,995 --> 00:37:57,696
Willie's is great.
Yeah, I like the pecans.
1010
00:37:57,730 --> 00:38:00,131
Leslie's tasted
delicious.
1011
00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:01,399
Yeah, I thought
it was the best.
1012
00:38:01,434 --> 00:38:02,901
I've been doing this
a lot longer than you,
1013
00:38:02,935 --> 00:38:04,302
before you were even born.
1014
00:38:04,337 --> 00:38:05,437
The amount of icing
in the center
1015
00:38:05,471 --> 00:38:07,138
of Cutter's
is way too sweet.
1016
00:38:07,173 --> 00:38:09,140
Gotta be able to lead
and take criticism.
1017
00:38:09,175 --> 00:38:10,509
Yes, okay.
1018
00:38:10,543 --> 00:38:11,910
You're doing a terrific job.
1019
00:38:11,944 --> 00:38:13,378
Dan Wu's is way too dry.
1020
00:38:13,412 --> 00:38:15,614
I kept thinking
big, red cookie.
1021
00:38:15,648 --> 00:38:17,315
Scandalous.
1022
00:38:17,350 --> 00:38:19,451
Yeah, yeah.
It's obvious.
1023
00:38:25,858 --> 00:38:27,792
Willie, step forward, please.
1024
00:38:27,827 --> 00:38:31,263
You didn't have to be
down here cooking.
1025
00:38:31,297 --> 00:38:33,164
But by staying down here,
1026
00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:36,134
you proved your integrity
1027
00:38:36,168 --> 00:38:38,670
and your ability.
1028
00:38:38,704 --> 00:38:39,871
you're safe.
1029
00:38:39,906 --> 00:38:41,606
- Thank you.
- Please head up to the balcony.
1030
00:38:41,641 --> 00:38:42,774
Good job.
1031
00:38:42,808 --> 00:38:43,875
Come on, Big Willie.
1032
00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:44,910
Yeah, Willie!
1033
00:38:44,944 --> 00:38:46,645
I'm ecstatic.
1034
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:48,179
I came in saying I was a baker,
1035
00:38:48,214 --> 00:38:50,215
and I've proven myself
as a baker.
1036
00:38:50,249 --> 00:38:51,316
- Well done.
- Thank you, chef.
1037
00:38:51,350 --> 00:38:52,851
Amazing.
1038
00:38:52,885 --> 00:38:56,988
Leslie, your red velvet cake
1039
00:38:57,023 --> 00:38:59,491
tasted as good if not better
1040
00:38:59,525 --> 00:39:01,092
than Big Willie's.
1041
00:39:01,127 --> 00:39:03,094
Please, join everyone else
up on the balcony.
1042
00:39:03,129 --> 00:39:04,262
- Thank you, chef.
- You are safe.
1043
00:39:10,403 --> 00:39:12,304
Dan and Cutter,
1044
00:39:12,338 --> 00:39:13,371
unfortunately, one of you
will be leaving
1045
00:39:13,406 --> 00:39:14,973
this competition shortly.
1046
00:39:15,007 --> 00:39:17,042
One of you
has a humble approach,
1047
00:39:17,076 --> 00:39:19,144
one of you has a boisterous,
1048
00:39:19,178 --> 00:39:22,013
somewhat disrespectful
approach.
1049
00:39:22,048 --> 00:39:24,015
But ultimately, it's about
what you put on a plate,
1050
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:27,619
how you cook across
this pressure test.
1051
00:39:27,653 --> 00:39:29,788
I'm competing directly
with Cutter
1052
00:39:29,822 --> 00:39:32,991
who honestly doesn't want
to respectfully learn
1053
00:39:33,025 --> 00:39:34,392
and grow as a cook.
1054
00:39:34,427 --> 00:39:36,428
I should be the one to stay.
1055
00:39:36,462 --> 00:39:38,096
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I think so.
1056
00:39:38,130 --> 00:39:40,231
I think my cake technically
was done right.
1057
00:39:40,266 --> 00:39:42,033
It looked a lot better
than his.
1058
00:39:42,068 --> 00:39:45,337
I deserve to stay here,
and Dan needs to go home.
1059
00:39:45,371 --> 00:39:47,572
Dan and Cutter,
let's be honest.
1060
00:39:47,607 --> 00:39:49,674
Both cakes had their ups
and downs.
1061
00:39:49,709 --> 00:39:52,377
However, there was one
that has the edge.
1062
00:39:52,411 --> 00:39:56,681
The person that will be safe
from elimination
1063
00:39:56,716 --> 00:39:59,417
and not leaving the biggest
culinary competition
1064
00:39:59,452 --> 00:40:02,554
anywhere in the world
tonight...
1065
00:40:05,091 --> 00:40:09,394
Cutter...
1066
00:40:09,428 --> 00:40:11,896
you are safe.
1067
00:40:11,931 --> 00:40:14,399
Head up to the balcony.
1068
00:40:14,433 --> 00:40:15,567
Been an honor.
1069
00:40:20,272 --> 00:40:22,574
Dan Wu wowed us
from the beginning.
1070
00:40:22,608 --> 00:40:25,577
Unfortunately,
your cake is so dry,
1071
00:40:25,611 --> 00:40:28,213
it's actually the texture
of a biscuit.
1072
00:40:28,247 --> 00:40:31,449
And so, it's time for you
1073
00:40:31,484 --> 00:40:33,184
to take off your apron
1074
00:40:33,219 --> 00:40:35,153
and leave MasterChef.
1075
00:40:35,187 --> 00:40:36,588
Come say good-bye.
1076
00:40:36,622 --> 00:40:39,224
- Thank you for this opportunity.
- Good luck, Dan, thank you.
1077
00:40:39,258 --> 00:40:40,992
- Keep working at it.
- You got great flavors.
1078
00:40:41,027 --> 00:40:42,427
Don't stop cooking.
1079
00:40:42,461 --> 00:40:44,362
- Absolutely not. Never.
- Thank you, Dan.
1080
00:40:44,397 --> 00:40:45,830
Please put your apron
on your bench.
1081
00:40:45,865 --> 00:40:47,332
- Thank you.
- Good night.
1082
00:40:51,537 --> 00:40:54,272
Being here has been like
living in a dream
1083
00:40:54,306 --> 00:40:56,241
that I didn't even know I had.
1084
00:40:56,275 --> 00:40:57,909
- Dan Wu.
- Yeah!
1085
00:40:57,943 --> 00:40:59,110
To have gotten as far
as I've gotten
1086
00:40:59,145 --> 00:41:02,480
is affirmation that I'm as good
as I think I am.
1087
00:41:02,515 --> 00:41:04,649
Wow, that looks beautiful,
Dan.
1088
00:41:04,684 --> 00:41:06,685
Dan Wu, Dan Wow.
1089
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:07,819
- Great job.
- Thank you.
1090
00:41:07,853 --> 00:41:09,821
The sheer joy of learning
1091
00:41:09,855 --> 00:41:13,692
and experiencing things
i never thought I would do...
1092
00:41:13,726 --> 00:41:16,795
it's been unreal.
1093
00:41:25,071 --> 00:41:27,238
Next week on MasterChef...
1094
00:41:27,273 --> 00:41:29,774
A giant mystery box challenge
1095
00:41:29,809 --> 00:41:35,213
has the home cooks confronting
Gordon Ramsay.
1096
00:41:35,247 --> 00:41:36,981
He's like a samurai.
1097
00:41:37,016 --> 00:41:37,982
Done.
1098
00:41:38,017 --> 00:41:39,117
I mean, the guy's a master.
1099
00:41:39,151 --> 00:41:40,819
And the fight
1100
00:41:40,853 --> 00:41:43,555
for a place in the top 12...
1101
00:41:43,589 --> 00:41:44,756
This is amazing.
1102
00:41:44,790 --> 00:41:46,357
This is one of the best
that you've put up.
1103
00:41:46,392 --> 00:41:49,294
Pushes the home cooks
to the limit.
1104
00:41:49,328 --> 00:41:50,528
What's the matter?
1105
00:41:50,563 --> 00:41:51,830
I need a medic.
1106
00:41:51,864 --> 00:41:52,897
Get some water, please.
1107
00:41:52,932 --> 00:41:54,265
Quick! You okay?
1108
00:41:54,565 --> 00:41:58,065
