cash monty!
Y'all ready to... watch me blow some shit up?

I'm gonna win 'cause I've got a great palate and I will eat anything.

With the $5,000, I'm gonna buy tickets to see Celine Dion. Duh!

for Kristen...
...Jane and myself.
All rise, judges!
Let's get Dishmantled!
- Oh, my God!
My God!
- I don't know if this is my favorite cooking show
or my sexual fantasies coming true.
- Both.
- LEE: It's all over my face and neck.
- It's...
- Yeah, it is very strong.
- ALLISON: I can taste something creamy.
- LEE: I can taste Parmesan.
- I taste something herbaceous.
- I can taste the basil.
- I taste the saltiness.
- It has to be...
- Pesto. - Pesto.
- I'm dying to know what you think it is.
- I think it's a pesto pasta.
Although it could be zucchini noodles.
- They call those "zoodles."
- Who calls them "zoodles?"
- They call them "zoodles."
- They do? I love that. OK.
- LEE: I'm tasting this noodle-type thing.
I feel the moisture inside of it, and I feel the texture.
It doesn't have that pasta-feel.
I have no idea what it is.
- ALLISON: I'm thinking it's for sure pasta.
- LEE: OK.
I'm feeling something on the ground.
It feels kind of like an eyeball.
I don't really like it. I'l tell you that much.
What the hell is this?
- All right, they are off to the races.
- ALLISON: In the tube
I tasted Parmesan, basil and pasta.
So, I'm making pesto linguini with cherry tomatoes.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- They are chugging back the tequila.
- Thanks, buddy. - Why wasn't I invited?
♪ Who's got the tequila! ♪
- TITUSS: Yes!
- LEE: In the tube, I tasted this noodle-type thing,
but there was a lot of moisture in it, so it has to be zucchini.
I'm making a pesto zoodle, with garlic cherry tomatoes.
- You've got 15 minutes left.
- LEE: I'm looking over at Allison's station, she's making pasta.
I thought for sure that was zucchini.
- This all comes down to, "Is this a zoodle or is this a noodle?"
- TITUSS: I'm going to go flirt with-- Check on Lee.
Guess I'll bring Jane.
- Let me bring my phone book so I can get his phone number.
- Let me bring my wine so I can drink.
What are you making for us?
- I am making zoodles confit of cherry tomatoe--
- Confit tomatoes? - TITUSS: What does that mean?
- Confit, it means to cook in fat. I'm using a little olive oil.
But you know what? I really need to get some more basil.
- We'll just talk about you while you're gone.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What kind of cologne do you think he's wearing?
- It's confit.
- So, what did you think it was?
- I thought it was some pesto, boo.
And we're going to see Celine if I win.
Jane, do you want to come with us? - I would love it.
- No, no, no. - You probably could-- She can--
OK.
- KRISTEN: I would like to taste it off the wall
because I want to know what they tasted.
- Go lick the wall, girl.
♪ Come back, Kristen... ♪
- JANE: Report to us.
- ♪ ...and tell us everything. ♪
- So, it's definitely a pesto, however, I didn't eat the noodle.
- I see.
- There is one little lonely noodle at the top.

You have five, four, three...
- Celine Dion. - ...two, one.

I think the flavor is on point.

Congratulations, brother.
I'm so sorry, Allison. I really wanted to go to that Celine Dion concert with you.

My palate is on point.
