Male narrator: Previously on
hell's kitchen: Young guns...
Ramsay: Start now.
Narrator: The chefs were tested on dishes
that were enhanced with alcohol.
Narrator: It was an individual challenge
with a lot on the line.
Ramsay: The chef with the worst dish
will hand me their jacket.
I didn't come here to go home.
Narrator: While most of the men stumbled...
(gasps)
ramsay: I'm not a fan of pink chicken.
Big, little, medium, scruffy. Disappointing.
Narrator: 21-year-old steve from virginia impressed.
Ramsay: It's cooked beautifully.
Narrator: On the red team,
it was brynn from rhode island,
also 21, who received high praise.
That was delicious.
Narrator: In a hell's kitchen first,
chef ramsay awarded both.
Steve, really good job.
-Narrator: And... -Ramsay: Brynn, well done.
Narrator: Punishment passes.
But chef ramsay wasn't done...
Ramsay: Two worst dishes belonged to matthew and ava.
Narrator: As he sent the firt chef of season 20 packing...
Ava, give me your jacket.
Narrator: Ending her short stay in hell's kitchen.
At the opening night dinner service...
Marino, for the 300th time,
open hell's kitchen.
Man: Oh!
Narrator: The red team had vegetarians emily on meat...
Megan: No. That one's dead.
Narrator: And josie on fish.
Kiya: I don't have a problem with vegetarians.
I just hope it doesn't end up affecting us down the road.
Narrator: But that didn't slow down the red team at al.
Ramsay: Lovely, cooks. Well done, yes.
Narrator: Megan and kiya
helped drive the red team to the checkered flag.
-Woman: Good job, girls. -Emily: Whoo!
Narrator: The blue kitchen started off strong...
Ramsay: Beautiful carbonara. Let's go.
Narrator: Thanks to antonio and kevin on appetizers...
Tyson: This is gonna be so delightful.
-Trenton: Good job, dude. -Antonio: Thank you.
Narrator: Despite matthew sneaking
a meat thermometer into the kitchen.
It's not funny, matthew.
Tyson: What's taking so long?
We're getting hungry.
Narrator: He and payton
were off on temperatures all night,
and the blue team went down for the count.
Ice cold. Come here, all of you. Quickly!
Tyson: Holy [bleep], they're getting kicked out.
Narrator: The blue team nominated the meat station...
-Matthew. -Narrator: And...
Payton.
Narrator: Ultimately, it was...
Matthew.
Narrator: Ending matthew's dreams
of becoming head chef
at gordon ramsay steak at paris las vegas.
And now the continuation of hell's kitchen.
Get out here, blue team.
Antonio: What really pisses me off the most
is that we're all good.
I mean, there's a reason we're all here.
I was so mad.
All right. All right.
Let's--we're all done with it.
Let's continue on. Tomorrow's another day.
We can do this.
Jay: It's definitely some things
still wrong on the blue team,
and I'm not ready to go back to kansas city right now.
I still have a lot to prove,
not only for myself but for my city.
Tonight definitely gave me a wake-up call.
Ready to bounce back.
I was like,
I literally was tearing up when he was talking to you guys
and how you were-- I, like, was in--
brynn: That's the fight back that he wants.
That was--yes. I'm proud of you.
I wanna feel bad for these boys
and I want to be there for them,
but, on the other hand,
red team could just totally relax.
The jets on the heels of your feet.
Victoria: Oh, yes!
Wait, let's all compare feet.
Victoria: I got cankles. That's all I got.
I got cankles and a bump.
Brynn: Can we not do this?
I have friends who sell pictures of their feet online.
What? For how much?
On that note, I'm leaving this conversation.
(gags) it's so gross.
Do they really, like, actively?
So you just take pictures of your feet, just like that.
Brynn: That's so weird.
Emily: They'll be like,
"put your big toe in a grapefruit."
my sister got offered 50 bucks...
-That's so weird. -To let some guy suck her toes.
(laughs)
is this what ladies talk about? This is interesting.
Keona: People who get into it, seriously.
Like, they do weird [bleep], guys.
Like, they'll pour maple syrup on them bitches.
Emily: Why is that attractive at all?
Keona: Men are weird.
Yeah, men are weird.

narrator: The chefs are now
hoping to put their best foot forward
as they know morning time is challenge time.
-Ramsay: Good morning. -All: Morning, chef.
Good to see you all.
Over the last 19 seasons,
we have done well over 350 challenges.
Wow.
Ramsay: And every challenge was with a purpose.
I can evaluate your palate, leadership, creativity,
and based on what I saw last night,
your next challenge will really test your attention to detail:
The first challenge
ever done in hell's kitchen way back in 2005...
Lift off your domes.
Cleaning and prepping squid,
attention to detail put to the test.
Josie: As a vegan, immediately, I am emotional,
so...Um, this will be fun.
Ramsay: I decided to bring this challenge back,
but this time, you won't just be judged
on breaking down the mantle.
You'll be breaking it down the entire way,
the whole squid, understood?
All: Yes, chef.
Let me show you how it's done.
Right, gather round, guys.
So, squid.
First off, take off tentacles.
You take out the backbone, yeah,
-the cartilage, yes? -All: Ooh.
Ramsay: Just literally come all the way down.
I'm not going through it.
Keona: Chef ramsay's breaking this squid down
in literally 10.5 seconds. I cannot even...
Ramsay: There's no ink burst anywhere,
and that's how you clean a squid.
-Clear? -All: Yes, chef.
-Good. -Keona: I hope he doesn't
want us to do it that fast,
because I don't-- I don't know about that.
(laughs)
chefs, are you ready to prove
that you have the attention to detail?
All: Yes, chef.
Jay: I'm definitely feeling like this is
a easy challenge for us.
All we got to do is just fillet some squid and break that down.
That's nothing.
One more thing:
(engine turns over)
we need some squid.
Man: Oh, [bleep].
Oh!
Brynn: Can we swim?
Holy crap, that's an aquarium!
Woman: (laughs)
ramsay: That's right.
-Brynn: Chef. -Victoria: Oh, my goodness.
What a beautiful day to take a dip.
Should you run into any trouble inside that tank--
marino!
-All: (cheering) -(laughter)
woman: Oh, yes!
-Marino: Good morning. -You well?
I'm ready.
Oh, marino's such a clown.
I don't know if I'd be able
to trust marino with that tank.
You know, he has a total dad bod.
Ramsay: Now, listen carefully.
Marino's here on standby
to give you mouth-to-mouth.
(chuckling) oh, [bleep].
(laughter)
ew. No. No.
Ramsay: The first team to bring me
16 perfectly prepped squid
wins the challenge. You ready?
All: Yes, chef.
Ramsay: On your mark, set, go.
Narrator: In today's
attention-to-detail squid challenge,
each chef must jump into the water tank,
retrieve a squid, and break it down.
The first team to break down
16 squids flawlessly wins the challenge.
-Ramsay: Let's go. -Keona: Come on, brynn.
Time to get down and dirty.
Woman: Yeah!
Antonio: I'm the first person
to dive into the tank and grab a squid.
Kind of feeling like crocodile dundee and [bleep]
and grab it with my mouth and come up.
Keona: Get that squid!
There's sand at the bottom of it,
so I'm just, like, blindly reaching my hand at the bottom.
You feel something squishy, you grab it,
and you don't let it go.
Ramsay: Well done. Off you go. Good girl.
Alex: The blue team hasn't won a challenge yet.
I want to win.
We have yet to see vegas.
Let's go!
Ramsay: Let's go!
Come on, blue team.
Red team, cheer them on. Let's go.
Woman: Come on, josie.
I'm gonna get through this
and I'm not gonna throw up and I'm not gonna run away.
The girls are undefeated,
and we're gonna keep it that way all season long.
Keona: Yeah, victoria.
Ramsay: Go on, stir that up.
Big, deep breath. (claps)
wait, wait, wait! Steve! [bleep].
I never really learned how to swim,
but I learned how to float.
Marino, stand by.
Let's go, nice, clean squid.
Good. We've all got squid. Let's go.
Narrator: Now that each chef has fearlessly
retrieved their first squid, everyone is officially
moved on to the meticulous cleaning process.
-Woman: Come on, guys! -Man: Go, go, go.
So I was the first one in the tank,
and that means I'm a couple steps ahead of my team,
the same with antonio.
Ramsay: Who's gonna be first? Come on, guys.
I need to do the squid!
-Woman: Good job, brynn. -Man: Good job.
Ramsay: Let's go. First one up then.
Let's have a look.
Antonio, super fast.
Pretty sure I got everything right.
I'm making sure everyone knows, send up good ones.
Don't send up bad ones.
That's not clean. That's still on there.
-Look, that's still on there. -That comes off like that?
Okay, that needs to come off.
That is not a clean squid.
-Yes, chef. -Ramsay: Let's go.
Go and get another one.
I was more concerned about
getting everything done fast and quick,
and, I mean, that was the wrong mind-set, obviously.
Ramsay: And we have brynn.
Yep, that's one and done. Well done.
-Thank you, chef. -Ramsay: One.
Let's go. Go and get another one.
Woman: Good job, brynn.
I'm so ecstatic.
Ramsay: Let's go.
Ladies, we have one-nil. Let's go.
Come on, guys.
Antonio [bleep] us over.
You can't take something to chef ramsay
if it's not good enough, so we're already [bleep] down.
Narrator: As antonio flounders...
Nicely done. Nice. Nice. Well done.
Narrator: The rest of the ble team picks up the slack...
Sam.
Beautifully done. Well done.
Go, go, go. Go. Steve.
Beautifully done. Well done.
Narrator: Sliding them straight into the lead.
Ramsay: Three to one, let's go.
Woman: Let's go, ladies!
Ramsay: Come on, ladies. Let's go. Speed up.
Stick your knife in the middle, split it.
I'm looking around making sure, you know,
we got one almost ready to go so we can come back strong.
Ramsay: Keona, beautifully done. Well done. Go.
Narrator: But as some well-cleaned squids
sail in from red team...
Ramsay: Well done. Good job, kiya. Great job. Well done.
Narrator: The tides shift once again.
-Ramsay: Victoria, well done. -Thank you, chef.
Good girl. Ladies pulled it back.
Well done, ladies. Let's go, guys!
Jay: This once again, man, it's very close competition,
so I'm moving fast as I can right now.
Let me go. Let me go. Let me go.
Somebody got to step up. Let's go!
Ramsay: Jay, we good? Great job. Well done.
Narrator: And now both teams
dive into the tank once again...
Ramsay: Trenton, thank you. Well done.
Narrator: Delivering squid after perfect squid.
Ramsay: Kevin, cleaned and scored. Well done.
Clean, clean, clean. Well done!
That is a beauty, young man.
Well done, steve. We're a tie.
Man: Let's go!
Narrator: Victoria and kiya on the red team

Ramsay: Well done.
Narrator: While brynn is impressing chef ramsay

Beautiful job. Well done. Let's go.

Woman: (laughs)
ramsay: Here we go. Well done, antonio.
How many is this, your second or third?
It's your first one?
I can't make stupid mistakes.
It was time to bounce back.
-Ramsay: Good job. Well done. -Thank you, chef.
Well done, well done, well done.
Oh, okay, well, that's cool. (stammers)
that's right there. That's it.
Woman: Come on, ladies.
That is super clean.
Great job. Well done.
Let's go, ladies. Come on.
Woman: Come on, ladies!
Ramsay: Guys, you're in the lead. Let's go.
Victoria: I didn't realize we were behind.
We got this, girls. Like, let's go.
And that is clean, clean, clean.
Well done, megan.
And that is super clean. Well done.
Keona: Come on, so close!
Ramsay: It's 15-14. Come on!
Ladies, one more to go.
[bleep], we got to get back. We got to get back.
We can't stop now.
Now I'm sick and tired of having the girls win.
Ramsay: Make sure it's clean.
Let's go. Make sure it's clean.
Whoa! Steady, steady, steady.
(tentacles squelch)
ramsay: Come on. Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
Narrator: It's chef ramsay's
attention-to-detail squid challenge,
and both teams are neck-and-neck in a race
to break down 16 perfect squids.
-Woman: Come on! -Ramsay: It's 15-14!
Narrator: And emily, a line cook from new york,
scrambles to deliver what her team hopes
will be the challenge-winning squid..
Come on! Come on, come on, come on.
Narrator: Assuming antonio allows her to.
Woman: Go, go, go!
Ramsay: Let's go.
Make sure it's clean.
Whoa, steady, steady, steady.
Back of the line. Get back in the line.
I'm praying in my head
that this is the [bleep] up for her.
Please, lord jesus, just let it be, let it be, let it be.
Emily: Please, please, please, let this be a good squid.
Ramsay: Let's have a look.
And we have
clean, clean, clean.
Ladies, congratulations.
Women: (cheering)
ramsay: Well done.
Marino: (blows whistle)
-ramsay: Well done. -Woman: (screams)
kiya: Hell yes. We won--like, agai.
Like, undefeated still, undefeated champs.
Ladies, what a performance.
You won today's squid race,
and now you're in for a heart-racing reward...
Brynn: Ooh!
Ramsay: Because today, you're going
off-road racing!
All: (cheer)
ramsay: All of you will be heading shortly to speedvegas
to zip around the beautiful las vegas desert from there.
You'll feast on a very delicious lunch
catered by blt steak.
All: Whoo!
Ramsay: Now, blue team,
while the ladies are trucking around the desert,
you've got some trucks in your future too,
because today is seafood delivery day.
You'll be breaking down over 50 pounds' worth
of squid, clams, and shrimp.
Now, for the first time this season,
the punishment pass is in play.
-Steve... -Yes, chef.
Ramsay: Are you gonna use that pass
to choose between a fast truck in the desert
or a delivery truck?
I'm gonna save the pass, chef.
Okay. Why?
I think it's gonna get much worse going on,
and I'm gonna want to save it.
Ramsay: Love the attitude.
Come on, then, head back in. Get changed.
-Woman: Thank you, chef. -Woman: Whoo!
Kevin: This sucks, man.
Straight up, [bleep] them.
[bleep] the red team.
All: (cheering)
ugh, if I had to break down 100 pounds of squid right now,
I would be so pissed.
I'm so grateful that that's not gonna be me,
so...(laughs) sorry, boys.
Victoria: Yaaas, queen.
Man: Damn!
Man: Oh, my god. [bleep].
It seems like we're just on a huge losing streak.
Like, it just seemed like the guys cannot get a break.
Jay: Come on. Just hop on it. Hop on it. Hop on it.
-Antonio: Let's go. -Jay: Hop on it, man.
Jay: Come on, you think too much.

I might have spoke too soon
when I said 50 pounds ain't [bleep].
Antonio: Anybody feel non-confident?
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Yeah, if you don't have any questions,
then you should be able to pump yourself up,
you see what I'm saying?
Everyone's [bleep] feeling perfect about service tonight.
If you don't know anything, say it now.
All day, antonio's been on some real hard confidence [bleep],
but the only bad squid
throughout the entire breaking down
was antonio, and he [bleep] us all over.
We could have ran away with the finish.
Do not [bleep] serve raw [bleep].
That's gonna get them over the edge.
Sam: I would say antonio is trying to establish himself
as a leader, but right now, while doing this punishment,
I really wish he'd shut up.
Antonio: Would much rather have fixed the problem
right now than [bleep] do what we did last night again.
Woman: Oh, cheers!
To our victory!
Brynn: Chef ramsay!
Chef ramsay has us eating his fillet from blt steak.
It's so soft in the middle.
It just, like, melts into my mouth.
Victoria: The steak was worth all those squids.
Wagyu beef. (angelic music)

I feel like every time we do this,
like, we just keep, like, bonding with each other,
and I think like--
keona: Well, the boys get to bond [bleep]...
Brynn: Well, the boys get to bond over squid, so...
Woman: Yeah, they bond the hard way.
Brynn: They're probably drinking
a squid smoothie right about now.

chef ramsay asked me to make you guys lunch.
This can't be good.
A nice calamari sandwich,
little bit of maple mayonnaise,
little bit of hot pepper paste,
maybe a little fish sauce.
I'm definitely not ready to eat this [bleep].
I don't even like squid.

narrator: It's an hour into dinner service,
and jay and the blue kitchen...
Ramsay: Where's the garnish?
I've got no garnish!
Narrator: Has garnered chef ramsay's attention.
You see this? Oh, [bleep] off.
See, he hasn't even got the [bleep] garnish on.
Come here.
Jay: I was focused on the wrong thing, chef.
Ramsay: Come here. Just come here.
-Come here, you! -Wow.
Ramsay: Come here.
What are you focusing on?
Jay: I was looking at the wrong ticket.
Ramsay: What is going?
-Jay: We got two wellington... -Ramsay: Two wellington...
Jay: One strip, one lamb.
And you're not ready with the garnish.
I got all of the other garnishes.
I just forget the wellington garnish, chef.
Can you hurry up then, please?
Jay: Yes, I can, chef.
Come on, guys. Pick it up, please.
-All: Yes, chef. -Alex: You got this.
After getting yelled at, of course, it sucks,
but you can't beat yourself up.
It's time to put my head down, attention to details, do it.
Let me know when you're up to the pass, okay?
Jay: Got you.
Alex: Jay, like, come on.
Like, you're on hell's kitchen.
You know, you came here for a reason.
You need to push yourself.
Like, hopefully this setback doesn't mess up the meats.
Come on, garnish. Let's go.
Jay: Coming through.
-Alex: You got this. -Jay: Take that wellington.
Antonio: Wellies walking.
Garnish is up for wellies, correct?
-Man: Yes. -Jay: Yes, sir.
Antonio: Lamb is right behind.
Alex: New york strip right here, chef.
Ramsay: Nicely cooked, the new york strip.
Alex: Good job, fellas. Good job. Good job.
Antonio: All right, guys, breathe, breathe.
-Alex: Communicate. -Let's go.
Ramsay: Service, please.
Narrator: Despite jay's garnish goof-up,
the blue team recovers
to get out their first entrées...
Man: That's really good.
Narrator: While in the red kitchen,
the women fight to maintain their momentous start.
Ramsay: Two new york strip, one duck, one salmon.
Five minutes to the window, yes?
-All: Yes, chef. -Ramsay: Let's go.
Emily: Garnish, if you are on top of everything
and you're talking, it's a fun station...
Remember, ladies, talk, talk, talk.
Victoria: You guys, it's two new yorks,
one duck, one salmon?
Emily: I think one halibut's fired right now.
Brynn: One halibut and one salmon is fired.
Wait. What?
I don't think that's right.
-Victoria: Up next? -Emily: Yeah.
No, I want to know what's on fire right now.
Emily: What's fired right now is a salmon, a halibut, and...
Oh, no. Uh, wait. What was called again?
Brynn: 1 1/2 minutes out, salmon!
Megan: Salmon's going with halibut, yeah?
Woman: Yeah.
Morgana: I can walk with halibut?
Heard. Walking with halibut garnish as well.
Megan: Walking with halibut.
Emily: I got it. Thank you.
-Morgana: Okay. -Emily: Actually, yes.
No, I got you. No, I got you.
Emily: Halibut garnish.
Ramsay: Ladies, come here. Quick!
We started off brilliantly.
We're going now two new york strip, one duck, one salmon.
A halibut comes out. What's happening?
All: Miscommunication, chef.
Are you calling back the order to each other?
All: Yes, chef.
Ramsay: So why have we got halibut here?
-Brynn: The wrong order, chef. -Ramsay: Let's go, then.
Salmon, duck, two new york strip. Let's go!
All: Yes, chef.
-They're so frazzled... -Right.
That they can't even remember what the order is.
If we lose tonight, it's gonna be all about communication.
Keona: Emily, how long's that garnish?
-Emily: Which garnish? -Keona: Duck.
Emily: Duck garnish is ready to go.
Brynn: Walking salmon now.
Do I have garnish for two new yorks?
Emily: I'm walking now.

Yes, chef.

Antonio is just working wellington and duck.
I'm doing the chicken.

Yo, I'm ready with these halibuts, okay, guys?

Ramsay: It's [bleep] raw.
Where's the drive?
Right here, baby. Right here.
Baby, what do you mean, [bleep] baby?
Yeah, you're acting like babies,
you're cooking like babies,
and you're all standing there like a bunch of idiots!
Can we get our [bleep] together,
walk back in there with some dignity
and some [bleep] passion.
-Is that clear? -All: Yes, chef. Yes, chef.
Let's go.
Antonio: Let's go, baby. Come on.
And if I hear you call one more chef a baby,
I'm gonna get you a [bleep] diaper.
It's not "baby," okay?
Antonio: Yes, chef.
Nancy: If I wasn't wearing this dress,
I would actually go in and help them.
If you don't think the chicken's right,
please let me know.
We all got to know how everything is cooked.
This right here is nine minutes, nine minutes.
Nine minutes.
I'm not happy with what happened with that chicken.
That is the absolute most embarrassing thing
and unacceptable thing that I have ever done,
and that can't happen again.
Ramsay: A little redemption. Let's go.
Alex: That duck is good to go.
All right. We got to walk this. I need your two chickens.
I need the two chickens. I need the two chickens.

-What's missing? -Antonio: Two chickens.
-Sam: Chickens. -Alex: Two chickens, chef.
Ramsay: [bleep].
Chicken's totally undercooked.
It's that raw,
even curtis can see it from over there.
Marino: Come on, guys.
Even a front-of-the-house guy can cook it better.
Ramsay: Get out, all of you!
Not again. Like, what the...
Ramsay: Every [bleep] table.
What are you doing?
Talk to me! What are you doing?
At ten, you should be able to cook a chicken breast.
Every [bleep] station didn't even get out of the gate.
I'm done. [bleep] off out of here
and have a meeting and come up with two individuals
that you think your team could do without.
Get out!
Kevin: [bleep]. [bleep].

raw with defeat...

Coming behind, everybody. Coming down.
We got it, ladies. We got it.
Ramsay: Beautifully done. Go, go, go, go.
This is orgasmic.
Narrator: And completes the strongest
"young guns" dinner service so far.
A really strong finish.
-All: Yes, chef. -Ramsay: Well done.
All: Thank you, chef.
Brynn: Good job, ladies.
The chicken's what sent us home,
-that chicken. -Alex: I personally--
every single time when I asked someone
and you guys thought it was okay,
I thought it needed a lot more time.
Trenton: Alex needs to be up for elimination.
He didn't communicate, and he let a raw chicken walk.
Alex: But there's also other stations that are, like,
miscommunicating and trying to rush orders.
I mean, garnish.
Jay: In my defense, I also took
communication from that meat.
Yeah.
I know I [bleep] up,
but I don't deserve to be up for elimination.
I didn't cook raw chicken tonight.
I'm not giving up whatsoever.
All right, this is gonna have to be a vote.
Alex: This'll have to be a vote.
I'll nominate myself first.
Meat was my station as well,
so I got to be up there with you.
Antonio is this "[bleep] leader,"
but he nominated himself.
Moving forward, what's your vote?
Jay. I have to say jay and you.
Okay.
Payton?
I say jay and antonio.
Why me, though?
I didn't understand. What did I--
you even nominated yourself, bro.
The first thing you said was, "I'm gonna nominate myself."
no, I did not say that.
Alex: Antonio, you said you nominated yourself.
I didn't nominate myself. I said we're gonna vote--
that's what I heard at first.
Antonio: No, I didn't say I nominated--
I said, "so we got to nominate."
no, I did not nominate myself. No.
No, all I said was,
"let's take a vote. Who are we gonna nominate?"
you watch. Go back and watch that [bleep].
I'll nominate myself first.
It was my station as well,
so I got to be up there with you.
I heard--I heard, "I nominate myself."
that's what I heard, like, right when we first started.
Trenton: I mean, I'll be honest.
I honestly understood that as well, man.
I mean, if, I guess, you want me to go home, that's cool...
That's not what I'm saying.
Payton: Antonio said, "I nominate myself."
then he got super defensive. So in that case alone,
I don't know if I can trust him that much.
This is nothing [bleep] personal.
Well, do we got to, like, sit out here
and sing [bleep] "kumbaya"?
We all know what we came here for, man.
People are gonna have to go home.
Be on your toes when we're out there,
because none of us are safe.

Why was it so difficult tonight?
Communication just come from the meat station.
It was messing me up,

you know, started becoming ordered in.
Can you cook chicken?
Yes, chef, I can cook chicken.
I know I can cook chicken.
Behind you is an array of talent
that could easily identify
if the chicken's cooked or not, right?
Yes, chef.
So did they also tell you it was cooked?
Yes, I communicated with them and asked them as well,
