Hell's Kitchen

Previously on Hell's Kitchen...

Yar, matey, the pirates of Hell's Kitchen are here.

Yar!

- Hip-hip! - Huzzah.

In a seafood challenge,

the chefs got to choose their opponents.

Who do you think you can take down?

- Kim. - I'll take Z.

Johnny.

And when they faced off...

Speed up, guys. Let's go.

It was clear that

Heidi's selection of Johnny paid off.

Yours look like it's being attacked by a cat.

Definitely not my best, Chef.

In another battle, Aziza's Wahoo...

I don't even know what a Wahoo fish looks like.

Was far from perfect.

Damn. That is not what I call perfection.

But Paulie's take on Wahoo...

Wow, you got some finesse going on there.

Was a smashing success.

And then it all came down to Andrew versus Wendy.

You nailed it.

But in spite of two great dishes,

the one with the edge belonged to the...

- Blue Team, well done. - Whoo!

And they won the challenge.

There's no question

how salty I am about losing this challenge.

At dinner service...

Come on, ladies, you can do this.

The women got off to a great start...

- Risotto's coming up. - Led by Aziza.

Who redeemed herself on appetizers.

- Very nice, that risotto. - Thank you, Chef.

Yes!

- And... - Ryan.

Who delivered on meat.

- Nicely cooked. - Thank you, Chef.

The Red Team kept their momentum...

Cheers and bon appétit.

And had an excellent service.

Unfortunately for the Blue Team...

Hey, Andrew, I'm under rare.

Andrew's undercooked New York Strip...

You work in a steakhouse, and your steak is raw?

And Devin's garnish...

We got a bowl of spinach that's bland as .

My three-year old makes creamed spinach.

Were just two of the reasons why Chef Ramsay...

All of you, come here.

Decided to remove the Blue Team from the kitchen.

It's just mistake after mistake.

We look like chumps.

During deliberation,

it looked like it was going to be Andrew and Devin

as potential nominees.

You pushed a raw steak.

- I had one steak. - One? Two steaks.

He had two steaks that were raw. Come on!

But then the men shifted their focus...

We got to start looking at everything previously.

- And put up... - Aaron, Chef.

- And... - Devin.

In the end, it was...

Aaron.

Whose lack of experience and confidence

were the main reasons why Chef Ramsay ended his dream

of becoming Head Chef at Yardbirds Southern Table & Bar

at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

Now off.

- Got the message? - Yes, Chef.

- Ladies, great job. - Thank you, Chef.

Great job. Great job.

It's pretty terrible.

How scary was that?

Sorry, bro. Sorry, you know?

I'm not trying to throw people under the bus either, man.

- I just... - I know this blows, bro.

Difficult part was, you know,

recooking the garnishes for fish all night and undercooked meat.

What the is he trying to throw you underneath the bus for?

I am so pissed that Devin is still here.

He's just really bad at cooking.

- Yeah. I mean, and... - You all right, Devin?

Are you hostile towards me still?

Yes, you are. I can see it in your eyes. I can see you're hostile.

I'm tired of these guys plotting against me.

I hate their little clique. I don't want to be part of it.

You know, this competition's not about making friends.

He's mad at me. 'Cause I'm insensitive.

He's mad at all of us.

I'm gonna watch my own back because nobody else will.

I'm here to win it all no matter what they think.

I'm going to bed.

Line up, please.

Library books?

Good morning.

Good morning, Chef.

Welcome to the Hell's Kitchen library.

What is the connection between books and kitchens?

"Cookbooks" is the answer.

You know, cookbooks, our beloved treasures.

A great recipe will always remain a great recipe.

So for today's challenge you're going to be using books

to decide on what you're gonna to be cooking.

I hope you can spell.

I kind of suck at spelling words.

English was not my, um, my best grades in school.

As a team you're going to be spelling out the ingredients

that you'll be using to create your own dish.

Here's how it's gonna work.

One at a time one person of each team

will select the books with the letters

that spell out the ingredient that they want to cook with.

Now, the next person on the team

will select an ingredient that shares a letter

with an ingredient already on the board.

I'm actually kind of excited for this

because the Blue Team as a whole, they're dumb as rocks.

Your five minutes...

starts...

now! Let's go!

- Tenderloin. Tenderloin! - Tenderloin?

No, chicken. Chicken.

Chicken? Tenderloin.

Chicken, yes, it's versatile,

- but it's also boring. - What are we doing?

- Chicken. - Chicken.

Wait, no! I don't know what it is with Shaina and chicken.

I think she's out of her head.

Get the chicken.

Chicken.

Go back, get the chicken.

They got the chicken already.

Chicken. Chicken.

.

Let's go, buddy.

Hey, go to the top, though. Go to the top.

- Go high with it. - And don't go in the middle.

Try to stay to the left, like three in.

That's good. Good job.

- Rib eye. - Chicken.

One minute gone, guys. Come on, let's go.

For some reason, Aziza decided to put chicken

dead center in the board,

so we have very little room on either side

to kind of build off of.

Come on, Ryan. Come on, Ryan.

Matt, talk to us. What are you doing up there?

- Crab. - What?

- Crab. - Crab?

- That's good. - Crab.

Well, there goes rice.

- Carrot. - Yam.

Lime.

I can definitely work with lime.

The gears are turning already.

- Beans. - Bacon.

I'm hoping to kill this thing.

- What do you guys want to do? - Bacon.

- Yes, we can. - Bacon.

- Bacon. - Where am I putting bacon?

- Bacon. - B-A-C.

- Oh, no, we can't. - We can't.

Guys, do you know the rules?

Have you ever played this game before?

- Kale? - Um...

- Can we do kale? - Kale!

Oh.

Those words don't fit. Oh, my God.

- Two minutes left. Come on! - Onion.

No, go the other way. Other way.

Put the "O" above the "N." Put the "O" above the "N."

Put the "O" above the "N!"

You have to work off of the "N."

How the do I put "O" above the "N?"

Devin definitely is not the sharpest tool.

And...

It was like watching him do, like,

Japanese algebra or something.

O-N!

- There you go, bro. - All right.

Right? O... yes.

O-N-I-O-N.

- Onion. - Turnip.

- You got it. You got it. - Okra.

Uh...

I want snap peas, but there's no room to put it.

- Snap? - What the is that?

- Snap for peas? - Can we do that?

Uh...

That's not gonna count.

The blonde's kicking in.

20 seconds to go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

How about peas? P-E-A.

- Pea. - Get it up there!
