00:01Previously on MasterChef.
00:03The first mystery box of the season.
00:06One box is sweet, one spicy.
00:08Michelle and Zach, since you won the challenge last time around,
00:10you get to select a protein for each duo.
00:14Julio and Rachel are tough competition.
00:16So we're going to give them octopus.
00:18That means they're afraid of us.
00:19Ricky and Ashley were dealt the filet.
00:22It doesn't need such ridiculous spice.
00:24Say goodbye.
00:26Love you guys.
00:26Rachel and Julio, it is delicious.
00:30Congratulations, Rachel and Julio.
00:32This win means we have a bigger target in our back.
00:36Tonight, it's single swim time.
00:41As the duos face their first team challenge of the season.
00:46You will need to make a seafood dish for 101 fishermen and their families.
00:52Rachel and Julio, since y'all won the last challenge,
00:55you'll choose your teammates.
00:57Yes!
00:58No!
01:01But when Mother Nature shows up.
01:02This weather is crazy!
01:04Diners are arriving, let's go!
01:06Best laid plans.
01:08Raw fish.
01:09Do you want to go home?
01:10Do not drop those.
01:11They're going to run out.
01:12Captains, get them organized.
01:14Oh my God, I felt dizzy.
01:15Keep cooking!
01:16Descend into chaos.
01:18Hey, we need a medic! Medic! Medic! Medic!
01:22Oh my gosh, it's our first field challenge.
01:38You ready?
01:39I want to go on the boat.
01:40Holy mackerel.
01:41I'm back in the pier!
01:44The seagull, the breeze of the ocean.
01:47I go back to my old memory, owning a fishing boat.
01:52I had two fishing boats and I owned it for over 10 years.
01:56Back to work today.
01:57You think we're going to cook on a boat?
01:59Oh, hope not.
02:00Wow, now we're cool.
02:02There we go!
02:03I wonder where the judges are.
02:10Woo!
02:11Look!
02:12Oh my God!
02:14Woo!
02:15Hey!
02:16Hey, Tiffany!
02:17Yeah!
02:18Joey's driving the boat!
02:20Oh, hey!
02:21Hi, Joe!
02:22Hi, Tiffany!
02:26Hey, guys!
02:27Great to see you!
02:28That's so awesome.
02:30Oh, boy.
02:31Surprise ride!
02:34What's up, guys?
02:35Hey!
02:36How are you going?
02:37Are y'all ready for today?
02:38We are ready for today.
02:39All right, come with us.
02:40Let's go.
02:41All right!
02:42Oh, my God!
02:43Let's do these.
02:44Did they go catch our challenge?
02:46MasterChef is our honeymoon, so being by the sea, it's beautiful.
02:50But I don't think we're going to be on deck chairs sipping Mai Tais today.
02:55Where do you think Gordon's at?
02:56Where is he?
03:01Oh, my God!
03:03Oh, my God!
03:04I want a ride!
03:05He was just speeding and everything.
03:08Like an expert.
03:09Hey, guys!
03:10Hello!
03:11Amazing!
03:12Look at you go, Gordon.
03:13I love it.
03:14Sorry for the delay.
03:15What a legend.
03:16Oh, my God!
03:17I want a ride.
03:19Gordon, pay watch.
03:21Keeping the bay safe.
03:22Welcome to this amazing harbor.
03:31How cool is this?
03:32We couldn't think of a more fitting, stunning backdrop for your first big team challenge.
03:39Yeah!
03:40Yeah!
03:41Now, everywhere you look around here, there are dozens of fishing fanatics.
03:46All of them trying to land the catch of the day.
03:52When they get back to shore, one thing is guaranteed.
03:55They have reeled in a huge appetite.
03:59Yes.
04:00Today, you will be broken into two teams of five duos.
04:05And you will need to make a delicious seafood dish for 101 hungry fishermen and their families.
04:14Ooh!
04:16That's a lot of fishermen.
04:17You will be feeding seafood today to people who do know a thing or two about seafood.
04:22So, today, there is no hiding.
04:24Now, listen.
04:25If you're on the winning team today, all five duos will be saved from elimination.
04:29Yes!
04:30But if you find yourself on the losing team today, when we get back to the MasterChef kitchen,
04:35you'll go head-to-head in a pressure test.
04:38Oh!
04:39Where at least one duo will be eliminated from the competition.
04:45Wow!
04:46No!
04:47The dreaded pressure test is back.
04:49We cannot believe that.
04:50Yeah.
04:51They're the most intense challenges on the show.
04:53And we do not want to be in it.
04:55So, we need to be on the winning team today.
04:57All right.
04:58Rachel and Julio.
04:59Yes, Chef.
05:00Since y'all won the last challenge, you'll get the very big advantage to choose your teammate.
05:05Yes!
05:09Wow!
05:10Think about this decision strategically, because you will be picking who you will be cooking
05:14with.
05:15But the only issue there is, if you happen to fall short today, you've got to go up against
05:21those very same teammates in the dreaded pressure test.
05:27Rachel, Julio, come over here, please.
05:29Yes, guys!
05:30Whoo!
05:31Love you, Julio!
05:32Love you, guys!
05:33Both of you are going to be in the red team, right?
05:36All right.
05:37Julio and Rachel got the advantage to pick the teams.
05:40I don't know how this is going to work, if they're going to see us as threats or not.
05:44You guys look good in red!
05:45I do, too.
05:46I want to be on their team, because they're some pretty high-caliber cooks.
05:49So, we're hoping that we get called.
05:51Now, take a moment and discuss together how you're going to strategize this pick.
05:55Yes, Chef.
05:56Okay, Pamela, what do you think?
05:57We cooked fish twice, and it was both good.
05:59Yeah.
06:00The strategy here is to pick only the best cooks in this competition, because today we
06:06have to keep our enemies close, because they have to help us win.
06:10The duo we're picking first, they've been in the top three already.
06:14Joel and Adam.
06:16Wow, Joel and Adam.
06:17Come over, guys.
06:18Let's do it.
06:19Let's go get them.
06:20Yes, let's do it.
06:21The second duo, we wanted to pick the one on apron with a fish dish.
06:25Yvonne and Tina.
06:30Right, next pairing.
06:31All right, the third duo we're going to have on our team today.
06:34They have big personalities, and they're going to be great in our team.
06:37It's Jessica and Jessie.
06:39Wow!
06:40We're blasting!
06:41Being on their team is an amazing feeling.
06:43My only concern is, are there too many big egos?
06:46Too many strong voices.
06:47Yeah, and then also, if for some reason we don't win, but now we're all on the pressure
06:51test against each other.
06:52It's the worst pressure test of all time.
06:54So we need to win this, or else we're going to be in a tough spot.
06:57Right, last two.
06:59We're picking Michel and Zach today.
07:01Wow!
07:02Wow!
07:05Welcome.
07:06We have the four strongest duos in this competition, in our opinion.
07:10We got all the leaders, and the other team has no leadership at all.
07:14That means we got Timothy and Athena, Hannah and Kate, Ryan, Kate and Kayla,
07:19Asu and Javier, and Dicey and Courtney.
07:22You make up the blue team!
07:25Woo!
07:26Rachel and Julio have definitely come to play.
07:28They let us know that they don't see us as competition, and we're here to prove them wrong.
07:33Right, ladies, you didn't look too happy. What happened?
07:35Well, you know, if we want to talk about who has experience with seafood,
07:38I would say I'm pretty well-versed, so I'm happy to share the wealth on this team
07:41and give it all we got.
07:42That's the right attitude, by the way.
07:44Now, as you know, every great ship needs a captain.
07:48And because this is the season of duos, we need duo captains.
07:53So have a conflap together and come back to us with who you're nominating.
07:57Hurry up!
07:58What are you guys thinking?
07:59We need someone that is composed and, like, ready to go.
08:02Red team, give us the captain duo. Who is it?
08:06Julio or me, Joe?
08:07Chef.
08:08If they put trust in us, we're putting our trust in them.
08:10Okay, love that.
08:11Blue team?
08:12It's gonna be us, Chef.
08:13Wow!
08:14I didn't see that one coming.
08:16Okay.
08:17We feel like we can lead this team.
08:19We've both worked in food service. We've both managed.
08:22We're definitely gonna be managing some strong personalities,
08:25but as long as everyone's willing to listen to our direction,
08:28we can definitely lead this team to victory.
08:31Right.
08:32Tiff and I will be in the kitchen watching how you all work.
08:35And Joe will be overseeing the dining room.
08:37Diners will be tasting both dishes.
08:39One from the blue team, one from the red team.
08:41From there, they'll be casting their votes.
08:43And everyone is gonna be on dry land to eat in about an hour from now.
08:47So we'd like to see sample plates in just under 30 minutes from now.
08:51Yes, Chef.
08:52Right, red team, blue team, are we ready?
08:53Yes!
08:54Your time starts now.
08:55Off we go!
08:56Let's go!
08:57Let's go!
08:59What an interesting pick.
09:00Oh, my God.
09:01Oh, my goodness.
09:02Right, I'm gonna get out of these shorts and get changed
09:04and get ready for exciting fish cooking.
09:07Let's go!
09:08Let's go!
09:09Let's go!
09:10Let's go!
09:11Okay, what are we thinking?
09:12What do you guys think about miso, bass, something like that?
09:14Oh, miso?
09:15No, we go for cod.
09:16Cod could be good.
09:17You guys thinking tacos, sandwiches?
09:19What are you all thinking?
09:20Tacos are an option?
09:21Yeah.
09:22Sandwich, we have brioche buns available.
09:22I would say let's do a taco because it's easier for them to grab.
09:26We can play with a lot of textures and flavors.
09:28Make a blackened cod.
09:29Blackened cod sounds really good.
09:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:32What about a side?
09:33Maybe something like a slaw, but not mayo.
09:35What about a starch?
09:36Like sweet fries?
09:37I like fries.
09:38Fries are easy.
09:39They are easy.
09:40What are we gonna make this cod with?
09:41Something like a corn salad.
09:42Corn salad would be great.
09:43Yeah.
09:44Corn salad, love it.
09:45And then we need one more side.
09:46So something starchier, like beans?
09:48Something starchier, yeah.
09:49How are we elevating those?
09:50Some bacon, maybe?
09:51We'll throw a little bit of chorizo in there just for flavor.
09:53Very nice.
09:54We still gotta talk about a sauce, too.
09:55Sauce, I have the green sauce.
09:57It's excellent for that fish.
09:59And I have the avocado sauce.
10:01Like an avocado crema.
10:02So we've got a bass sandwich, sweet potato fries,
10:06citrus slaw, and a tartar sauce.
10:09Sounds great.
10:10We got the blackened cod taco.
10:11We have the corn salad.
10:13We have the black beans with the smoky flavor,
10:15avocado crema, and a green sauce.
10:17Yeah.
10:18All right, so we've got Courtney and Darcy doing slaw,
10:20Azul and Javier.
10:21They're gonna be our floaters.
10:22Kate and Tana, you guys are going to be on our french fries.
10:25Perfect.
10:26Our protein ladies, Ryan, Kate, and Kayla.
10:27We got it?
10:28We got it.
10:29So he's comfortable with blackening the fish
10:30and cooking the fish?
10:31I'm comfortable running the grill.
10:32Adam and Joe, so Tina and Yvonne,
10:35you guys are gonna be working on the green sauce.
10:37Green sauce.
10:38Okay.
10:39Mitchell and Sag, you guys are gonna be working on the corn salad.
10:41Yep.
10:42We got the corn salad.
10:43What do you want to do?
10:44What do you want to do?
10:45Speak up.
10:46Corn salad.
10:47Are you comfortable with the black beans?
10:48We wanted to do the corn salad.
10:50We want the corn salad.
10:51Okay.
10:52Do the corn salad.
10:53You guys do the black beans.
10:54We'll help out.
10:55I want to do the corn salad.
10:56The black beans is not something that we want to do.
10:58Are you kidding me right now?
11:00I just want Jesse to shut the up.
11:03In this challenge, teamwork is key,
11:05but this is going off the tracks right now.
11:07We can, we can.
11:08We'll do the black beans.
11:10Okay.
11:11It'll be fine.
11:12We got it.
11:13Slow on three.
11:14One, two, three.
11:15All right.
11:17Let's go.
11:18Come on.
11:19Come on.
11:20Let's go.
11:21Let's go.
11:22We are considered to have big personalities.
11:25It's who we are.
11:26It's who we are.
11:27Do you have tongs anywhere before I burn my hands off?
11:29At the end of the day, it's survival for ourselves,
11:31even though it's a team challenge.
11:33So we want to go out there and showcase what we can do.
11:35Yeah.
11:36We've always said if we do a team challenge,
11:37we're not going to be the duo that just sits back and does
11:39whatever the rest of the team wants to do.
11:41Do hard things.
11:42Do hard things.
11:43And if that means being a little rough around the edges
11:45with some people, so be it.
11:46All right, red team, here we go, huh?
11:48Let's go, guys.
11:49Let's get this done.
11:50We got this.
11:51We'll celebrate too soon.
12:07First big team challenge.
12:08Very exciting.
12:09101 fishermen and their families.
12:11I think cooking fish is a lot harder than cooking meat.
12:13It really is.
12:14Fish waits for nobody.
12:15There's no medium, no mid revs, no well done.
12:17It's just perfect.
12:18The biggest challenge today might be the weather.
12:20It rained hard this morning, and it looks like there's weather
12:22rolling in right now.
12:27How long do you think in the grill?
12:28About three minutes on each side.
12:29On each side?
12:30Yeah.
12:31Perfect.
12:32Julio and Rachel of the red team picked all the duos that have been in the top three.
12:37Basically, all the winners in the competition so far.
12:40That's right.
12:41That is too obvious, too simple of a strategy to create a winning team, in my opinion.
12:44All-star red team.
12:45Tina, make sure that sauce has to be thick, yeah?
12:48Oh, this is not thick, thick, thick.
12:50But not very thick, but a little bit choking.
12:54You can't have all heroes on your team.
12:57Someone has to be an onion chopper.
12:59I think in the red team, we can end up seeing five pairs working individually.
13:03Yes.
13:04Try to use this, just so you protect your hands.
13:06Yes, absolutely, absolutely.
13:07Thank you, thank you.
13:08So the blue team are all the unpicked dynamic duos.
13:11But that being said, I think it's going to be an easier group to control.
13:16What are you doing, babe?
13:17You don't like the thickness?
13:18No.
13:19Is that okay?
13:20Yeah.
13:20Because we don't want them to be soggy on the sandwich.
13:23But you know what?
13:24I haven't seen Timothy and Athena step it up like that, so I was very surprised to hear
13:29that they wanted to be captains because we haven't really seen them really be forceful
13:34and even speak up to a point to where it commands the kitchen.
13:37So I think this is going to be cool to see.
13:39Athena and Timothy, who's doing the tartar right now?
13:41We're about to start on that.
13:43We're about to start on that now.
13:44For the first time ever, we've got jewel captains.
13:46I think it's harder.
13:47Like, you don't want to hear one say one thing and then the next one say something different.
13:51That gets confusing.
13:52Whoever loses is going to that dreaded pressure test.
13:55So, a lot of steak.
13:56Want to do old school tartar?
13:57Our tartar?
13:58How to do it.
13:59You remember our recipe?
14:00Yep.
14:01Guys, whatever you need, just ask us, okay?
14:0215 minutes gone.
14:03We want to taste something in 15 minutes, guys.
14:06Wakey, wakey.
14:0715 minutes.
14:0815 minutes.
14:09All right.
14:09Blue team.
14:10Let's go.
14:12Right, how's it going?
14:13It's going great.
14:14It's going great.
14:15Tell me the dish.
14:16What are we doing?
14:17We are doing a pan-seared sea bass sandwich.
14:19Wow.
14:20With a citrus coleslaw, sweet potato fries, and a tartar sauce.
14:24Yes, sir.
14:25Okay.
14:26Tell me how you're going to split this up.
14:27Who's doing what?
14:28We've got Ryan, Kate, and Kayla on our fish.
14:30Okay.
14:31We've got Kate and Tana on the potatoes.
14:33Right.
14:34And then we have Courtney and Darcy, our vegans.
14:36They're going to do the slaw, and then Javier and Azu are going to be our floaters.
14:40And why sweet potato fries?
14:41Because it's not a healthy challenge, but such a nightmare to get right.
14:45Even in my restaurants, sweet potato fries are a nightmare.
14:47I steam them first for three minutes, and then fry them.
14:50So they just have to get really nice and crispy.
14:52Yeah.
14:53She's making perfect matchsticks.
14:54Is that what you want?
14:55Yeah.
14:56That is what we wanted.
14:57I don't know if they've got time to cut 101 portions like that.
15:00Gordon does not like the sweet potatoes.
15:03He's got years of experience.
15:05So it would be in our best interest to do what he says.
15:08We're shifting away from sweet.
15:10Timothy, what are you doing?
15:12I'm doing potato chips.
15:14Chips is a smart idea.
15:15Yes, chef.
15:16I want to see a dish in just over 10 minutes, yes?
15:18Yes, chef.
15:19Rachel, Giulio, please tell us what the idea of a dish is.
15:24So we have a grilled-cut taco with some blackened seasonings.
15:27We're going to do a roasted corn salsa to go with it, smoky beans, and then a green sauce.
15:32And who is doing what?
15:34So Joel and Adam are working on the fish.
15:36We have Jesse and Jessica are going to be working on the corn salsa.
15:40Zach and Michelle are doing the smoky beans, and Yvonne and Tina are working on the green salsa.
15:45What do you two do?
15:46We're floating.
15:47We're helping making sure that everybody got what they need, and we're getting ready to present the first dish for you.
15:51So the cod is going to be cooked how?
15:53Grilled.
15:54Grilled.
15:55Grilled.
15:56Not fried.
15:57A grill over an open-fire grill.
15:58Yes.
15:59Yes, chef.
16:00I mean, I'm concerned right now.
16:01You're in the elements, so you have to think about, like, how the wind affects the grill.
16:06Also, I would be very concerned about cooking to order all of this on a grill top that's open.
16:13Because cold white fish on a grill is going to drop the temperature of that grill.
16:18The fish is not going to get the caramelization and sear.
16:20It's going to stick, and it's going to be poached, and it's going to go not good for you.
16:24Let me see that fish.
16:25Even one second.
16:26I can tell you right now.
16:27It's raw spices.
16:28It's poached.
16:32Oh, it's starting to rain.
16:34Maybe the most logical thing, and what you should have done before, is batter it and fry it.
16:38Good luck.
16:39All right.
16:40Thank you so much.
16:42Okay, guys, we're going to have to pivot.
16:43We're going to do fried fish, because really, that's going to be chaotic, and it's not going to be flavorful.
16:47Okay.
16:48Wow.
16:49Oh, my goodness.
16:50So what's going on with the blue team, chef?
16:51First of all, the heavens have opened.
16:54Blue team are all over the place.
16:56They're doing an open fish sandwich.
16:57Okay.
16:58But they're cutting sweet potato fries, and they're all perfectly the same length, same thickness.
17:03Sweet potato fries are difficult to get right, to get them crispy.
17:05They have a lot of moisture in them.
17:07I think they're going to scrap that idea.
17:08Now they're going to go to normal potatoes, but chips.
17:11Excellent.
17:12Good idea.
17:13What are we looking at?
17:14Are they overcooking?
17:15No, they're just not crispy enough.
17:17Guys, we need to grab one dish in a couple of minutes for the judges to try.
17:21So the red team decided to do fish tacos that were blackened.
17:26They were going to cook it on the grill.
17:28They cooked up a few sample pieces, and the fish turned out mushy on the grill.
17:32It's just not the right weather to cook 101 portions of fish on an open plain.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:37So now it looks like they're going to fry it.
17:38Wow.
17:39Everyone is working frantically as well.
17:41But cod with a batter fried works.
17:44It works.
17:45It's delicious.
17:46The absolute best.
17:47It's delicious.
17:48100%.
17:49Okay, chef, we're ready.
17:51Right.
17:52Rachel, describe that dish, please.
17:53So, chef, we pivoted, and now we're doing butter fried cod tacos.
17:58And then we have some roasted corn salsa.
18:01We have some avocado crema pickled onions.
18:03We have some smoky beans and a green salsa.
18:06Visually, it looks nice.
18:07I love the colors that you have.
18:09Please have a dig in, guys.
18:10How are the beans smoky?
18:11What makes them smoky?
18:12Yeah, chorizo and the bacon.
18:16Where's the salt?
18:17Yeah, who fried the fish?
18:18I put it in the fryer to test it out.
18:19The fish has to be seasoned before it goes in the batter.
18:21It comes out of the fryer.
18:22It gets seasoned again.
18:23Seasoned again.
18:24This is very, very sweet.
18:25What's in there?
18:26It has the green chilies.
18:27It has cilantro, lime, lemon, a little bit of honey.
18:30It's just fighting.
18:32It's smoky, sweet.
18:33It's all out of balance.
18:34We want a cohesive dish.
18:36Okay, rectify.
18:37Got a meeting with red tea.
18:38Okay, and start editing ourselves.
18:39Yes, chef.
18:40Thank you so much.
18:41Is that how many chips we're going to do?
18:44That's how many I was there, yeah.
18:45All righty.
18:46Right, captains, please, let's go.
18:48Explain the dish, please.
18:49So we have a pan-seared bass sandwich with tomatoes and onions,
18:53tartar sauce on the side with a citrus slaw,
18:55and we fried potato chips.
18:56Why no herbs on this plate?
18:58I mean, where's the freshness?
18:59We didn't get the lettuce on the sandwich and...
19:02In time?
19:03Yeah.
19:04Let's have a taste, shall we, guys?
19:05Please.
19:13The best part, fish is cooked beautifully.
19:14These chips are a mess.
19:16Yes, chef.
19:17They're a big, soft, greasy mess.
19:19The slaw is just bland.
19:21What you need on this sandwich is texture.
19:23You know what might be a crazy idea?
19:25Do onion rings, fry them crispy, and put them in the sandwich.
19:28I mean, it's a lot of work.
19:30It would definitely elevate the sandwich texture.
19:32I totally agree.
19:33But have a meeting with your team now and correct this.
19:35Yes.
19:36If there's ever a time to use your voice, now's it.
19:38Good luck.
19:39Focus, focus, focus, yeah?
19:40The judges are not very happy with the dish
19:42that we have proposed to them.
19:45It's a little overwhelming.
19:46I do feel a little lost.
19:47Game plan, baby.
19:48I need you to breathe.
19:49If you need to breathe with me real quick, we can do that.
19:54All right.
19:55The whole dish had to get scrapped, essentially.
19:58Pretty much.
19:59We're good with fish.
20:00It goes to when it comes past here.
20:02We hope that volunteering and being the captains of the blue people
20:05does not come back to bite us in the ass.
20:07We need to regroup something.
20:09All right.
20:22Let's regroup together real quick.
20:24All right, feedback.
20:25Fish cooked beautifully.
20:26Chips are cut too thin.
20:28We need them to be thinner.
20:29Got it.
20:30So blue team captained by newlyweds Timothy and Athena.
20:32And what a shame.
20:33How bad were those chips?
20:34Yeah, terrible.
20:35The coleslaw is very pedestrian, and the sandwich is missing texture.
20:39Even though the fish is perfectly cooked, on that white breadage,
20:41you need something to crunch it.
20:43We absolutely do not need poor people on potatoes.
20:45Okay.
20:46It's definitely time for some changes.
20:48We're getting Kate and Tana from potatoes onto onion rings.
20:52Have you guys done onion rings before?
20:54I've never made an onion ring.
20:55All right, that's fine.
20:56That's fine.
20:57You're going to help them with the slurry?
20:58Yeah, I'm going to get a slurry going.
20:59With the coleslaw, they said it is a little bland.
21:01Okay, okay.
21:02Maybe pivoting to more bolder flavors.
21:04It's time to focus.
21:05It's time to...
21:06Lock in.
21:07Time to lock in.
21:08Hey, Athena and Tim.
21:09We added a little Tabasco to it.
21:10There you go.
21:12What about the onion rings?
21:13They're ready to go.
21:14We got it, guys.
21:15Focus.
21:16Can I taste it?
21:18One second.
21:19I need a little more sauce.
21:20Okay.
21:21Why do you need a little more of?
21:23Give me one second.
21:24I want you to taste the best.
21:26So, Red Team, captained by a married duo, Rachel and Julio.
21:29Exactly what we thought.
21:30Too many chefs, right?
21:32Not enough cooks.
21:33In that dish, you see the ego of every dynamic duo on the team in the dish.
21:38And that's the problem.
21:39You've got such a powerful team like the Red Team, right?
21:40Yep.
21:41Each individual element was seasoned for itself versus for the taco completion.
21:45So, one was too spicy, then the other is too sweet.
21:48No synergy, all ego.
21:50We're all doing amazing.
21:51We're winning this or what?
21:52Yes.
21:53Let's go.
21:54Let's go.
21:55Get ready.
21:56We're going down, Blue Team.
21:57We will park our asses right here, and if they need us, they will come to us.
21:58All right. All right. All right. All right.
22:00Okay.
22:01You need to keep talking to me like that.
22:02I'm not going to go.
22:03You need to keep talking to me like that.
22:04Hey, baby, somebody has to.
22:05Remember, I'm not your enemy.
22:07As far as I'm concerned, everyone else here is.
22:09Well, we're on a team.
22:10I understand that, but at the end of the day, we up.
22:12We go home, not them.
22:13One team, one dream, in parentheses.
22:20Hot.
22:21Oh, my God.
22:22It's hot here.
22:23Sweating too much.
22:24Drink some water, Tina.
22:26Tina, drink some water, please.
22:27Yes, I did. Thank you, Adam.
22:28We don't need any fainters.
22:30Cooking outdoors is tough today because Mother Nature is really doing a number on us.
22:34It's really hot one minute, and then the next, it's windy, stormy, and wet.
22:40Okay.
22:43Red team, blue team, our diners are arriving.
22:52Let's go.
22:53Come on, speed up.
22:54Let's go.
22:55You got it, guys.
22:56Keep it up.
22:57Let's go, blue.
22:58Let's pick it up.
22:59All right, let's go.
23:00Welcome, everybody.
23:01Let's go.
23:02Red team, blue team, two minutes.
23:03Let's go.
23:04Two minutes.
23:05Let's go.
23:06I got this.
23:07You're good.
23:08Give me one second.
23:09You're good.
23:10Two hands.
23:11It's not a hot pan.
23:13The fish is hot.
23:14The pan is not hot.
23:15Please do not do that again.
23:17They are not ready.
23:18No, they're all over the place.
23:19I need the fish.
23:20You ready for the first table?
23:21Yep.
23:22We're minutes away, Joe.
23:23I'm going to the dining room.
23:24Good luck.
23:25Let's go.
23:26First day, guys.
23:27Use your hand, Ryan-Kate.
23:29Ryan-Kate, the fish is cold.
23:31Use your hand.
23:32Look, put it down.
23:33Put it down.
23:34This is cold.
23:35This is cold.
23:36So you put your hand on there like that,
23:38and you just flip the fish.
23:39Now, I'll see you to burn yourself.
23:40This is cold.
23:41Sit on and flip.
23:42That's it.
23:43Can you do this?
23:44Yes, Chef.
23:45Come on.
23:46Focus.
23:47They're coming down.
23:48You changed the beans.
23:49Is it too sweet still?
23:50We did change it.
23:51Now, we removed the sweetness.
23:52You tasted it, though, right?
23:53Yes, Chef.
23:54We tasted every element.
23:55And also, the sauce, it was a little sweet.
23:56We cut the sweetness as well.
23:58Now, it has a nice balance.
24:00All right.
24:01First eight are headed this way,
24:02so let's get all set up.
24:03Here's one, baby.
24:04Put a little bit more in this one
24:06and in that one.
24:07This is going to be enough.
24:08This has to be enough.
24:09Welcome in, everybody.
24:10Hello. Welcome in.
24:11Let's go. Let's go.
24:12We need more plates.
24:13I need three more. Let's go.
24:14Right here. Take it, please.
24:15Please.
24:16Right here. You are, sir.
24:18Come on. We got to move faster than this.
24:20We got to move faster.
24:21We're crossing over each other.
24:22We got to go faster.
24:23Let's go.
24:26Pick up.
24:27Hey, how you doing?
24:28Thank you, of course.
24:29Enjoy.
24:30Thank you, of course.
24:31Let's go, let's go, let's go.
24:32Right, four and four.
24:33Now, get them organized, guys.
24:34Come on.
24:35Go, sir.
24:36Enjoy.
24:37I need more chips, please.
24:39Next eight fish. Let's go.
24:40Yes, chef.
24:41We have fish in the oven.
24:42All right.
24:43Fish in the oven ready?
24:44Perfect.
24:45Here we go, guys.
24:46I need the fish.
24:47Yep, yep, yep.
24:48Right here. Right here with eight.
24:49Oh, my God.
24:50Those don't look done to me.
24:52Kayla.
24:53Hey, blue team.
24:54Blue team.
24:54You two at the back.
24:55All of you, come here.
24:57Time out.
24:58Now, we're all over the shop.
25:00We have lost our coordination.
25:02And on top of that, look, I got raw fish.
25:05Now, I know you're better than that.
25:07Yes.
25:08I know you're much better than that.
25:09And right now, you're just all going into the pressure test.
25:11Get it together a little bit.
25:12Yes, chef.
25:13Second table is raw.
25:15Raw.
25:17Let's go.
25:18Come on.
25:19All right, I need two fish stats.
25:20Captains, get them organized.
25:22The one thing you don't want to have happen is having raw protein.
25:26Ryan Kate, can you get on fish for me?
25:28Yes, I'm on it.
25:29What's she doing?
25:30Your pants are eating up.
25:32The place is on fire.
25:34Ryan Kate and Kayla said they could cook fish.
25:36But Ryan Kate is definitely, at the moment, overwhelmed.
25:40We're not on MasterChef Junior anymore.
25:41This is the real deal.
25:43What's wrong with that fish over there?
25:44They were undercooked.
25:45Oh, my God.
25:46Get them in the oven.
25:47Hey, who undercooked them?
25:48Ryan Kate or Kayla, one of y'all, can you re-drop these?
25:51Just in the pan whenever you get your chance?
25:53Yeah.
25:54It's still raw.
25:56Hey, ladies.
25:57Nobody's raw.
25:58It's still undercooked.
26:00Hey, time out.
26:01Time out. Just stop.
26:02Stop, stop, stop.
26:03So the two girls were in a mess.
26:04I'll tell you that because I'm not the captain.
26:06I'm going to tell you the truth.
26:07Look at me.
26:08You're still, you're not changing up.
26:09When something's not working, don't work with a problem.
26:12Change it.
26:13Yes, sir.
26:14Back home, I'm not the greatest with confrontation.
26:17I tend to shut down.
26:18Change it up, okay?
26:19Yes, sir.
26:20Are you okay?
26:21Yes, sir.
26:22This is nothing that we've experienced this far in our relationship.
26:26You, you, off of there, on here.
26:28We know each other very well, but we don't know each other under pressure like this.
26:33That's for sure.
26:34You're cooking fish with Kate.
26:35Oh, okay.
26:36And it's four pieces of fish in each pan.
26:37Got it.
26:38It's eight fish at a time.
26:39That's it, okay?
26:40Look at me.
26:41Listen.
26:42Four pieces of fish in the pan.
26:45Yes.
26:46Four and four is eight.
26:47That's it.
26:48Stay here and cook fish.
26:49Yes?
26:50Three minutes, three minutes, right?
26:51Let's go.
26:52Okay.
26:56Set up the net.
26:57Where's the net?
26:58Let's go.
26:59Julio, we got to get the next one rolling.
27:00Yes, sir.
27:01This is our first team challenge, and Tiffany is a tough cookie.
27:05We got to find a flow.
27:06We can't cross over each other.
27:07Now I can see why her restaurants are run well because...
27:11She's powerful.
27:12Yes.
27:13She's scary.
27:14Let's go.
27:15Let's go.
27:16Let's go.
27:17I got people coming.
27:18They're walking.
27:19Okay, okay.
27:20By the time they come up, it needs to be done.
27:21Jess, we're going to run on a corn salad.
27:22Yeah, we are.
27:23Hey, you got to go three-quarter on the corn.
27:24Three-quarter.
27:25That's way too much.
27:26Okay.
27:27Go up there and grab some bowls.
27:28They're already serving.
27:29They're not serving.
27:30They're not serving.
27:31Okay, then switch them out.
27:32Just go grab them.
27:33Switch it out.
27:34Portion out food for a dinner party of 10, never mind serving 101 fishermen.
27:39That's too much corn.
27:40Hey, we got to switch these out.
27:41We got to go less on the corn.
27:42Yes, yes, yes, yes.
27:43Switch out real quick.
27:44Howdy up, howdy up, howdy up.
27:45Switch out real quick.
27:46I know we said we're taking on the corn salad, but we're not used to that much volume.
27:49I don't think I've cooked that much corn in my life.
27:51What's happening?
27:52Are we out?
27:53No, no, no, no, no.
27:54We were putting way too much in the last one.
27:55Are we going to make it?
27:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:57Is this all you have?
27:58We have this back here and that building right there.
28:00That's not enough.
28:01You guys need to organize yourself and clean up and start chopping up for more.
28:04Yep.
28:05You're going to run out.
28:06And you don't want to run out at the end.
28:07That could be the difference between winning and being in the pressure test.
28:10Absolutely.
28:23Faster, faster.
28:24Should have went higher on the beans and less on the corn.
28:26Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
28:27Chef Tiffany's fearful that we might not have made enough corn salad.
28:31So we have to kick it into overdrive and produce more.
28:35You're doing good here.
28:36You're doing good.
28:37You're doing good.
28:38Oh, my God.
28:39Athena, down.
28:40All right.
28:41Both hands.
28:42Come on.
28:43Down.
28:44Both hands.
28:45Let's go.
28:46Everyone says yes, but they're doing the opposite.
28:47Let's go.
28:48Now, look at me.
28:49Talk to your team, though.
28:50You can't ignore them.
28:51Yes, sir.
28:52OK, you're the captain.
28:53Our next group is here.
28:54Here they come.
28:55Next table.
28:56Oh, my gosh.
28:57Three times, Ryan cakes, undercooked fish.
28:59Three times, raw.
29:00And then Timothy refused to change anybody,
29:02so I changed it for him.
29:04Mmm.
29:05I don't want y'all worrying about anything else.
29:06Do not move, please.
29:07We got this.
29:08We got this.
29:09How's the red team doing?
29:10So red team is now just finding their pace.
29:12Guys, we need more corn going?
29:14Yes.
29:15But they're going to run out.
29:16I just looked at the corn.
29:18They have two quarts of corn.
29:20Oh, my God.
29:21For 80 people more.
29:22Oh, my God.
29:23I got nine more pieces of corn.
29:24Pick up.
29:26Pick up.
29:27How was the fishing?
29:28Good.
29:29Pick up.
29:30Let's go.
29:31By now, you should have your rhythm, yeah?
29:32Yes.
29:33Great, great.
29:34How long for the fish, Javier?
29:35Two minutes.
29:37So, Timothy, we have the fish working now.
29:38Yes.
29:39Now bring the whole thing together.
29:40Yes, sir.
29:41I need eight more slaw up here.
29:42Right here.
29:43Copy.
29:45Now we've got a system.
29:46Hey, they come to you.
29:47Yes, sir.
29:48Fish.
29:49Yes.
29:50Crisps, tartar sauce.
29:51Let's go.
29:52My girl.
29:53That's what I'm talking about.
29:54Mama Tana coming in.
29:55Mama Tana coming in.
29:57Thank you, Tana.
29:58You're welcome.
29:59Brian, Kate, how are we looking on chips?
30:01I got a whole tray that are done, insulted and everything.
30:03Perfect.
30:04Bring them to the line.
30:05Someone bring these up, please.
30:06Charissa, hon.
30:07That's it on top.
30:09On top.
30:10These chips are soggy.
30:12I don't want to serve them.
30:14No, don't serve them.
30:15Tell them.
30:16Kate.
30:17Kate.
30:18Kate.
30:19They're really crispy.
30:20OK.
30:21These ones that you just sent were not crispy.
30:24Ryan Kate is definitely caught up in the hurricane.
30:27She's taken a lot of criticism at this point.
30:30She's catching it from Gordon.
30:31She's catching it from Athena.
30:33Just trying to get her to do something to help our team.
30:36All right.
30:37Ryan Kate.
30:38Yeah.
30:39Off potatoes.
30:40You come up here and do the buzz.
30:41Kayla, potatoes.
30:43Did you drop them in?
30:44No.
30:45Athena.
30:46Good.
30:47Let's go.
30:48All right.
30:50No.
30:51I need you on bun.
30:52On bun.
30:53Pick up, gents.
30:54How are we?
30:55Let's go.
30:56Serve.
30:57Let's go.
30:58Just serve, please.
30:59Stand up.
31:00Let's go.
31:01My apologies for the wait.
31:02Sorry about that.
31:03I am starving.
31:05I am ready to go.
31:06OK, fishermen.
31:07Welcome, welcome.
31:08So today you have the black bass sandwich with the blue team
31:11and the crispy fish tacos from the red team.
31:13I think the red team's fish taco blew it out of the water.
31:19The bacon with the black beans is a really nice touch.
31:22And then I had the salsa verde.
31:23It gave it a little bit of a little bit of a kick.
31:25Just got it ready for you in one second.
31:27Thank you so much for waiting.
31:29Look, if I were out in the ocean and I was stranded on a boat for
31:31the rest of my life, I'd be eating the red team's fish taco day
31:34in and day out with no problems.
31:36You know what?
31:37Can you help Kayla?
31:38I can do the buns.
31:39OK.
31:40I can do the buns.
31:41Those might need to come off.
31:42Yeah, they're too high.
31:43Right, I'll pop in the red team.
31:44Halfway, yes?
31:48My favorite ultimately was the blue team's fish sandwich.
31:51The fish was cooked perfectly.
31:53It was a substantial big meal because after fishing all day,
31:56I'm starving, I'm exhausted, I want a good meal.
31:59The chips would be the only letdown on that.
32:02I need these chips a little more crispy.
32:04They were hit and miss, but they're a bit floppy,
32:07and the crispy ones were amazing.
32:17This weather is crazy.
32:19This weather is insane.
32:20Keep cooking.
32:21What the is going on with the weather?
32:23Crazy weather cooked me.
32:26It's annoying that we're in the rain.
32:28Rain or shine, we work, baby.
32:30Oh, my God, I felt dizzy.
32:34The next table is coming.
32:36Let's go.
32:37Brian K, I need more drive when you have a chance.
32:39I can't hear you.
32:40I need more drive when you have a chance.
32:42I need chips.
32:43Onion rings.
32:44I need two tartar sauce cups stacked.
32:45Can I get this to the line?
32:46I need eight servings of everything.
32:48Can I get pork back here?
32:49Holding on chips.
32:50We've got people waiting.
32:55Do we have another?
32:56Ryan K.
33:00Oh, hey, we need a medic.
33:01Medic.
33:02Medic.
33:03Grab the fork.
33:04Medic.
33:17This weather is crazy.
33:18This weather is insane.
33:19Keep cooking.
33:20Coming up.
33:22You have enough?
33:23Ryan K.
33:24Oh, hey, we need a medic.
33:25Medic.
33:26Medic.
33:27Medic.
33:28Medic.
33:29Medic.
33:30Got the fork.
33:31Medic.
33:32Medic.
33:33Right here, right here.
33:34She collapsed.
33:35What happened?
33:36It's OK.
33:37A little slip.
33:38It's OK.
33:39Take your time.
33:40We're all good.
33:41Do we need more chips?
33:42No, no.
33:43Just sit up nicely.
33:44Take your time.
33:45Just sit up nicely.
33:46I feel bad because they need me to help.
33:47They don't.
33:48They don't, they don't, they don't.
33:50There you go.
33:51It's OK.
33:52Don't worry.
33:53Don't worry.
33:54Need some onion rings on the fly.
33:55Onion rings.
33:56Onion rings right here.
33:57Right there, right there, right there.
33:58Right here.
33:59Ryan K. passed out.
34:00She's back up now, so I'm feeling really stressed out,
34:03but I'm trying to just keep pushing for my team,
34:05and I know Ryan K. is in good hands,
34:07so I'm just trying to push through for her.
34:08Great.
34:09These are looking better.
34:10Good job, Kayla.
34:11Red team, last two tables.
34:13Come on, let's go.
34:14Let's go, team.
34:15Last two tables.
34:16Standard.
34:17Let's go, guys.
34:22Good afternoon, fisherman.
34:23Any impressions on first tasting the dishes, sir?
34:25I really like the blue teams.
34:27There was a good portion of fish on it,
34:29well-seasoned, and they kept it quite moist.
34:32Ma'am, do you have a preference?
34:33The burger, because the fish is really well-seasoned.
34:36I found the taco fish a bit greasy.
34:39OK, so you're for the blue team so far.
34:41Yes.
34:42Excellent.
34:43All right, we got our last two tables coming.
34:44Let's go.
34:45Last two tables heard.
34:45You need to finish, bro.
34:47There you go.
34:48Sir, blue team, the bass sandwich.
34:50What do you think?
34:51So the bass sandwich, the bun's a little overcooked.
34:54The chips a little overcooked.
34:56The bass is very flavorful.
34:58I'm not sure what the...
34:59It's a coleslaw.
35:00It's a coleslaw.
35:01It's too much vinegar.
35:02How about the red team?
35:04Tacos are great.
35:05They have a lot of flavor.
35:06Black beans are excellent.
35:07They can smokey, so you can taste that very well.
35:09Great.
35:10Please raise your hand if you are enjoying the fish tacos of the red team.
35:15Full House.
35:16Thank you very much.
35:17Enjoy your meal.
35:18Last table, red team.
35:19Let's go, let's go, let's go.
35:21You need more beans, Tina, or are you good?
35:23I have enough.
35:24I have enough.
35:25Hey, red team.
35:26Guys, guys.
35:27Come here.
35:28Come here.
35:29Hey, I said standards.
35:32That's raw.
35:33I'd rather wait two minutes than send that.
35:35Yeah, I would too, guys.
35:36Stop rushing me, please.
35:37I've been doing it the whole time.
35:38I do not get it.
35:39Come on, guys.
35:40Standards, let's go.
35:41Okay, last table, let's pick it up.
35:42Last table.
35:43Sorry for the wait.
35:44How are we?
35:45Give me a time for that fish, please.
35:46Three minutes.
35:47Three minutes.
35:48Raise your hand if you enjoyed the fish sandwich from the blue team more.
35:51Okay.
35:52Raise your hand if you enjoyed the fish tacos of the red team.
35:56Seven to one.
35:59That's the color.
36:01Lightly seasoned, please.
36:02Don't drop it.
36:03Let's go.
36:05Hey, you're great, Joel.
36:06Sorry, guys.
36:07I hope you enjoyed.
36:09Sorry for the delay.
36:10My apologies.
36:12Clear down, guys.
36:13Watch this floor.
36:14It's soaking wet, yeah?
36:15And get some water, please, all of you.
36:17Do your hard things.
36:18Do your hard things.
36:19The last table's on the way.
36:21Get the slaw on it.
36:22We got Carter right here.
36:23Put it on there.
36:24Where's the lettuce?
36:25There we go.
36:26There we go.
36:27Sorry about your wait, sir.
36:28Come on, we only got a few more.
36:30Ready for fish.
36:31All right, four more.
36:32Let's get our best four on the plate.
36:33Finish strong.
36:34There you go.
36:36Thank you, Darcy.
36:37Last one.
36:38That's the last one.
36:39All right, blue team.
36:40Get your team together.
36:41Proud of y'all, proud of y'all, proud of you.
36:42Good job.
36:43What's that look about?
36:44I feel like we could have done better.
36:46And what did you need us to do to do better?
36:47The communication was lacking, for sure.
36:50I feel like there was not a rhythm.
36:52You don't know who's won.
36:53Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
36:54You have no clue.
36:55I don't want to beat ourselves up yet.
36:56We're still standing.
37:00Ladies and gentlemen, once you've finished eating
37:03and tasting the dishes of the red team and blue team,
37:07you'll be asked to vote for the team whose dish you prefer.
37:11You will do that by putting one of these buoys
37:14into either the red net or the blue net.
37:17Thank you very much.
37:18Amazing job, everybody.
37:19All right.
37:20Red team on three.
37:21Nice work, everyone.
37:22One, two, three.
37:23Red team!
37:28I really prefer the red team's fish taco.
37:31The blue team's dish was nice, but I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor combination.
37:36You guys did good.
37:38Thanks, Marie.
37:39I definitely preferred the blue team's meal today.
37:42I thought the blue team's fish was really moist and tender, perfectly cooked.
37:47Some strong personalities on our team, and everyone came together tasting, helping out.
37:53So it really was a team effort.
37:54My partner, Ryan Kate, literally went down.
37:57So I think that shows just how difficult this challenge is.
38:00But I'm proud of us for serving all 101 guests regardless, and I'm hoping Ryan Kate's okay.
38:05It was definitely very intense.
38:07We start off a little discombobulated under all that pressure.
38:10But hopefully the fishermen like what we put out.
38:13I feel like I'm going to pass out.
38:15Exhausted.
38:16We had some troubles, tribulations, but we served everybody.
38:20It's in the fishermen's hands right now.
38:22If Red ends up in the losing team, we're the captains of the team, it will be our responsibility.
38:35Well, thank you very much.
38:49Thank you all for being here today.
38:51We hope you enjoy those amazing seafood dishes.
38:54Now, we would like to introduce you to the amazing cooks.
38:59Please welcome the blue team.
39:01And ladies and gentlemen, welcome the red team.
39:08That challenge was brutal.
39:10It was the hardest challenge that we've had so far in this competition.
39:13We'll see what happens with the vote, but losing today would be devastating.
39:19Right, blue team, we've just heard from the nurse that Ryan Kate is doing very well.
39:24A little bit dehydrated, but the good news is she's feeling much better.
39:28Right, it's been one hell of a day at red team, blue team.
39:33Well done.
39:34Give yourselves a round of applause.
39:35Well done, both of you.
39:38Diners, you ate dishes from both teams, then you voted for your favorites.
39:44One team will be safe from elimination.
39:46And one team will have to cook in the dreaded pressure test to fight for their spot in the MasterChef kitchen.
39:54All right, now, tonight's winning team is...
40:04Congratulations.
40:05We are beyond proud of ourselves.
40:18Okay, Julio, Rachel, how are you feeling?
40:19Accelerating, Chef. This is fantastic.
40:21We put this team together for this, for the win. We knew that we're the strongest and we proved it today.
40:37Amazing. Well done. Blue team, Athena and Timothy, what went wrong?
40:43We just didn't communicate as well as we could. And I think, I mean, ultimately that was our downfall.
40:49From the diner's perspective, the coleslaw was bland, chips greasy, soggy.
40:55I think that the problem started with the conception of the dish itself down to the execution and it showed.
41:01The feedback was rough. It's not what we expected and it's not our standards at all.
41:07So right now is a tough feeling.
41:09Now, blue team, we will see you all back in the MasterChef kitchen where you're all facing the dreaded pressure test.
41:17Where one of you five duos will be eliminated.
41:20I'm scared.
41:22We know that we have to step it up or we go home. Pressure is on.
41:28Next time on MasterChef Dynamic Duos is the return of the dreaded pressure test.
41:35Black aprons on. Feels like you're going to your own funeral.
41:38But we're raising the bar even higher.
41:40Those mystery boxes are made out of chocolate.
41:43Shut up.
41:44So it's a make or break shot for survival.
41:47One duo will be eliminated. I'm just glad we're up here.
41:50There needs to be absolute perfection.
41:52Oh my God. What's wrong?
41:54I think I over whipped it. Oh dear.
41:55I'm going to remake it.
41:56It's like it's dropped straight out of my bulldog's .
41:58Absolutely soul crushing.
42:00Oh no.
42:01Yeah, it's called the pressure test for a reason.
42:03What a shame.
42:06One potato, two potato.
