Transcript

00:00We brought the naughty team a main heat win this is magnificent. It's a total wow. Thank you. Ashley congrats

00:08Violet your frosting is a little too sweet and the nice team lost their first baker violet

00:15Naughty team star Charles stumbled that cat is naughty, but not your best work chef

00:22Ooh girl and so did chase from the nice team. I'm a little surprised at what you're delivering today. I feel like I got taken down

00:38Oh, hey bakers welcome back naughty team welcome back to the holiday village wonderful seeing you too nice team good to see you

00:44too

00:45Here's the thing we're at the midseason mark and the judges really want to see what you can do

00:50So for this challenge, you're going to be making holiday pies

00:57And you can make any kind of pie you want

01:04I think this challenge can divide who is a really good baker and who is not

01:10You have to have a perfect flaky crust your feeling cannot be runny

01:16So it's is a really tough challenge

01:20And while you're at it each of you needs to make two identical pies for serving and we'll tell you why later

01:28Okay, okay. There's been so many twists and turns and shenanigans this season and now we have to make two pies

01:35Who knows what surprise Jesse has for us?

01:39Now this is your only bake

01:41Oh

01:41again

01:43Okay, so after this challenge somebody's going home from the losing team

01:47Oh my god, okay, so there are no limits and there are no advantages

01:52Just go out there and make the best pie you can to win immunity for your team

01:58All right, the stakes are so high

01:59Do it

02:00I'm just hoping that we can solidify another win

02:02I feel like team naughty had a taste of victory and I don't want them to keep that taste in their mouth

02:08No pressure

02:09All right bakers two and a half hours on the clock and your baking time starts

02:16Now

02:17Okay

02:19Pies pies pies

02:20I'm gonna do lemon meringue

02:23I know they already like my meringue so I feel confident in that

02:26Yeah, I would really love to do a sweet potato pie

02:30I'm down either do like a cream pie or a blueberry pie

02:32What if you blend the two and do like a blueberry cream pie?

02:35That's such a good idea

02:36I think the naughty team is really really starting to find their footing

02:40We're collaborating a lot more. I think winning that last main heat really gave us a lot of like positive motivation

02:47I was gonna say just remember let your pie crust chill pies are really demanding technical bakes

02:53And I think that the pressure is a lot

02:58Oh team naughty go

03:00Get pumpkin

03:02Where are the baking pans at?

03:04Niko don't take all the pecans my friend

03:08No, it's apple

03:09The holiday village is stress girl

03:12But I'm feeling confident in our team because we have pie bay

03:17Aka chase

03:20A lot of pressure on chase for a pie challenge

03:24Makes an amazing pie has to make another amazing pie ain't that right alex yes sir

03:28I won the first challenge with a bomb chest pie

03:33That chest pie was ridiculous that filling was absolutely delicious

03:38I make a stellar pie so we're gonna kick team nutty's butt today

03:42I'm gonna make a chocolate pecan bourbon pie

03:45And we're adding tons of bourbon obviously

03:49For this challenge i'm feeling inspired by thanksgivings at my grandma's house

03:55As a kid we would often build leaf piles in the yard

03:58So i'm gonna decorate with leaf piles made out of pie dough

04:02Because what's nicer than like a bunch of children playing in leaves

04:06Making an all butter crust

04:08I learned a long time ago that you don't want to leave your butter too big

04:11The more you can work it into the dough the more tender it's going to be

04:15And i'm baking a metal tin because it conducts heat faster than glass or ceramic

04:19Helps you to more quickly evaporate the water in your butter to create the separation of layers in your dough

04:24So that you don't have soggy bottom that you have a good crust

04:27And then for my filling i pre-toasted my pecans just to express the oils get them aromatic

04:34Judges told me last time that my flavors weren't balanced

04:36And i really want to make sure that i do that today

04:38I tasted elimination last time and i i don't ever want to taste it again

04:42I came here to win i feel like it would validate a part of myself that's always wondered like

04:48Should you have gone to culinary school or should you have done something different i'm gonna fight with everything i got

04:54Anybody need some pie weights me please

04:57You know it's been such a wild ride coming into this competition in the beginning

05:02I don't know that i did believe in myself enough but today i'm a top contender

05:07Ashley how does it feel you could win this whole thing you could take home 25 000

05:11I could and part of the dream of doing that is being able to take my dad on a trip to scotland

05:17He had a liver transplant about nine years ago

05:20So hasn't been able to travel as much and then this would be a dream for us

05:24I love that so what kind of pie are you making so i am making a pumpkin black pepper

05:30So that's kind of the secret ingredient the black pepper really adds a little zing to it

05:34And then i'm going to top it with a maple whipped cream as well as stained glass confetti sugar cookies to represent christmas ornaments

05:41The reason i'm making it today actually is because of my dad because he hates pumpkin pie like absolutely despises it

05:48It became my favorite pie as an adult and now out of spite i bring it to thanksgiving

05:52So we're going a little bit naughty on the sense that my dad hates pumpkin pie

05:56It's so ironic you're making something your dad hates hopefully to send him to scotland

06:00So the irony i hope that that makes him proud

06:05I hope this pie is good enough to win immunity pie is something that i feel pretty confident about

06:10So today i'm making a lemon meringue pie

06:12On the top will be a toasted swiss meringue with some silver bells out of chocolate candied lemon and holly leaves and i think it just really reads nice christmas

06:24Oh hi oh hey how are you you know just checking out on someone who's been dominating in this competition

06:30No pressure right yeah but ashley like you she's bringing it every she dominated but i know my way around pie dough

06:37I use shortening shortening kind of gives you a little bit of that structure it gives you some flakiness

06:42And then i did add some lemon zest and some thyme to the crust just to give it a little bit of an herbaceous pop

06:48So team nice is going to continue to keep rocking it we can whittle the naughty team down a little bit

06:53You ain't seen naughty yet though alex

06:57I feel like i'm on the field pre-game here this is unbelievable

07:01Football game yeah keep doing what you're doing doing what i'm doing see in a bit

07:08Target let me pick your brain for a minute what's up who have you got your eye on on the nice team the biggest competition is chase what he knows how

07:16To do he's very good at doing he knows how to make a mean pie but i mean if you had to guess who's the next baker to go home on that side

07:24I would say either aaron or camry just because i think the other three have been really consistent yeah

07:30But you know who am i to talk right overall my bakes have been average at best and i feel like i'm kind of the weakest link on my team

07:41Which is why this week i want to make something mind-blowing something that's not only going to taste great

07:46But something that's just going to be memorable and so i'm making a blueberry cream pie

07:52to add a little bit of like a deeper flavor to my blueberry filling i want to play into the warm

07:56Spices like cinnamon and ginger and stuff that you would traditionally see around the holidays and then also i'm adding bourbon

08:03i feel like the flavor of the alcohol plays well with fruit and it's going to taste bomb

08:07And then i'm going to decorate it inspired by one of my old family traditions which was where my siblings

08:14And i would not only leave milk and cookies but we would leave shots and a pack of cigarettes for santa

08:21It was definitely naughty i'll say that so my pie is going to have a cream filling there's going to be a

08:27Spiced blueberry filling and then i'm going to top it with pretzel cigarettes because i really want my pie to

08:33Look like an ashtray it's definitely a risk you know i can't help but to be like really nervous

08:38But yeah i think if this one can come out the way i wanted to it'd be a winner

08:4290 minutes bakers we are talking holiday pies to keep your team intact oh and remember you always

08:48Got jingle job over here in case you need a pick me up hey naughty team how are we feeling about coffee

08:54Um i'll take an iced one yeah i'll take one ice too ice hello can i get full iced coffees for the naughty team coming

09:00Right on up i'll take an americano naughty i know you will

09:05Sorry sorry mom

09:08Even though we're on separate teams i have built a special bond with aaron i did a snowman tiny little thing in the middle yeah

09:15That's cute that's a cute one yeah good thank you oh sure anytime anytime what did i come in here for

09:22She's so quirky and funny and you know that selfless mother figure so i wish that aaron was kind of on our team

09:29i just love her to bits i'm feeling uh very nostalgic today i'm feeling inspired by my grandma maxine

09:37And her love of elvis presley and every year we would sit in her living room while she played his records

09:45And this year i'm feeling a little blue christmas so i'm making a blueberry ganache pie there we go

09:52i'm getting teary-eyed thinking about my pie

09:55Coincidentally i woke up this morning and i was really really missing my grandma

10:03i started thinking about all of the things that made me feel close to christmas and close to her

10:08and i think how do i turn that into a pie so it will be a blueberry pie filling a blueberry white

10:16chocolate ganache top and decorated with a goat cheese whipped cream christmas tree and pie crust

10:23snowflakes and stars i spent most of my childhood sitting in my grandmother's lap in the lake of the ozarks

10:30staring up into constellations i learned constellations from her so i'm really excited to make this in her memory

10:37oh

10:42wow well this hasn't been shut the whole time so that's great oh

10:46did was somebody in there did was somebody i'm feeling nervous my bottom oven just was left open

10:53so oven temp dropped to 250. i'm not going to blame anybody else but i don't have time kicking

10:59up the fan yeah i need to get this temperature back up yeah i need 350 really bad i'm scared because

11:06it takes a while to bake such a thick pie to make sure it's baked in the center and i have to make

11:10sure that it cools in time to put on my decor i just don't know how i'm gonna get everything done on time

11:22we got one hour left now guys you have to make two pies we've got a surprise for you later

11:28oh no remember you are baking to not lose another baker from your team i'm pushing time on my pies

11:35if i can use the blast when my pies come out i would greatly appreciate it otherwise i might

11:39not make it to my plate oh because i my door was left wide open oh god i feel so much pressure at the

11:46end of this bank someone is going home from the losing team and i'm just really hoping that i can

11:51pull out the immunity because ultimately i want to stay in this competition so bad i want to make it

11:55to the end hopefully i'll be fine but i'll be running up to time let's go t nice let's go the inspiration

12:04for this dessert today is a combination one my favorite pie flavors i'm making a pumpkin and cherry

12:11pie pumpkin pie was the first spice i was excited to eat when i got here in america and i love cherries

12:19so i'm gonna bake my pumpkin filling and later i will add my top for the cherries and i will cover

12:26the pie with a puff pastry lettuce and i will decorate with cinnamon buttercream cherries candy

12:33cans and hollies for my cherry compote i'm adding orange juice to make my cherry really pop i will take

12:41team naughty down by the flavors he's talking smack over there yes be ready i'm coming for you

12:49oh my god so i get my pies out of the oven with a pistachio brand japan baked on the inside i'm

12:56feeling good so today we have to make two identical pies so my inspiration is honestly just like my love

13:02for the flavors apple pie is like classic but i want to do like a little twist on it so i'm making a

13:09bourbon ginger miso apple pie and i'm going to build each of the layers so i want a little layer of

13:16grand japan a little layer of miso caramel a layer of cooked apples and then to decorate i want to

13:22do a cute beanie inspired hat it's gonna stay nice because it's gonna be the cutest little hat you ever

13:29could see fit for the holidays so the main thing with this challenge i feel like there's something

13:36coming because like having to make two pies why i don't know so we just gotta wait and see i'm

13:42waiting for the other shoe to drop definitely interesting i'm excited bakers we've got 30

13:49minutes woo we're done thank goodness my pie's out of the oven it looks great i'm gonna get it into the

13:57blast chiller so i can hopefully get the whipped cream on top at a cool temperature so that it doesn't

14:02melt away because this could be a winning pie i think it could charles good to see you you're such

14:07an amazing pastry chef the thing is even though you haven't won a challenge technically yet yes this

14:12close i know you're gonna stop being the bridesmaid soon i i hope but i'm happy uh ashley pulled through

14:18for us i feel like she's kind of carrying team naughty a little bit uh that's fine wear her out before

14:24the finale dude unbelievable i feel like when you say that you should like do that yeah and then just wait

14:31to the final day exactly wow i gotta keep cutting yeah go ahead back to shop i have decided on an

14:38apple pie because it's kind of an american classic it's a risk to go simple but i'm gonna make it

14:44stand out by i shred apple and dice it i cook down the shredded apple so it really concentrates that

14:50flavor so there's no mistaking it's an apple pie and i try not to use too many spices because otherwise

14:55it just covers up all the natural kind of brightness that apples have and then i am decorating it

15:00with braided pie crust and a little whipped cream fresh and i'm also gonna make a little semi rotten

15:07apple in the center with a little christmas worm and just to really tie in the naughty theme it's a

15:11lot to make the filling and break down all these apples but i think it could be very delicious and

15:16impress the judges oh my god oh this looks so dark i'm freaking out a little bit because my pies are

15:23looking just a little on the scorched side i'm worried about what the judges are gonna think about this

15:28but it's too late for me to really do anything about that now so i'm just gonna keep moving

15:32forward with my plan and hope for the best niko are you writing up a hit list what is this over here

15:39no so this is santa's real naughty list the only thing naughtier than being naughty is being naughty and

15:44pretending to be nice all right well tell me about your pie holiday pie so a sweet potato and pecan pie

15:50sitting on a pretzel and ginger snap crust with a toasted brown sugar meringue and i'm gonna have the nice team

15:56made out of shortbread cookies setting aflame uh marzipan santa's real naughty list trying to

16:03destroy the evidence of the naughtiness i've sort of made a name for myself as being the one to kind

16:07of go a little past the line on the naughty side and i want to just keep that up you have okay well at

16:12least if anything you're consistent you have such an incredible energy and passion for this i can tell

16:16how did you find bacon like a lot of kids is kind of doing it for fun at home and then as time went on i

16:22started to continue to find my love and my passion for it but it like i had a while where i wasn't

16:28sure if it was going to be something that lasted okay because i just had a lot of struggles with like

16:33food and eating i'm diagnosed anorexia okay so i actually had to drop out of culinary school oh man

16:39yeah to go to recovery but since then i've gone through treatment i'm in the greatest place i've ever

16:45been in my life right now and the last four months i've gained about 50 pounds and a big motivator

16:50in doing that was being able to come out here and live out a dream of being here and it's like

16:55even like if i'm not successful in every bank just being physically healthy enough to be here is like

17:00a win in and of itself yeah i'm so happy you're doing so great thank you i appreciate it keep it up

17:03man we'll see you there's such a stigma around this disorder and especially being male and i think if

17:10i'm able to be that person to talk about it and to show that there is a way out that would just mean

17:19the world to me that's a beautiful meringue

17:26oh man i'm having a little bit of a hard time getting my chocolate out it just doesn't seem to

17:31want to come out of these molds if i don't get these out i'm not going to have these silver bells

17:34that my whole thing is based off of well that was the kind of the main component of my decoration

17:39so this is incredibly frustrating okay just not doing that today so i'm like rushing to do a backup

17:46plan right now instead of silver bells i'm going to try to do some white chocolate snowflakes and

17:51hopefully it doesn't get lost in translation hey bakers 10 minutes fuego bakers remember you have to

17:58make two identical pies just wait till they find out what's going to happen next right now i'm making

18:06the ornament cookies i'm going to use isomalt in the middle of them to kind of give them like a 3d look

18:12the reason i chose this decoration for today is because my niece makes me stained glass ornaments

18:20every single year for christmas and it's one of my favorite things to receive from her and she's eight

18:24shout out to clara so i'm going to take a little spin on those ornaments and stack the cookies with

18:29a little bit of royal icing to glue them together with some sprinkles in the center to make them look

18:33like a little bit of a snow globe with sprinkles inside i just want a little bit more sprinkle

18:42now i'm carving my cherries and dipping in red chocolate because i want this to be my decoration

18:51on top of my pie oh i need you to sit please i realized that my blueberry ganache this is looser this

18:59needs to be frozen which i know but i am running out of time right now five minutes left all right

19:06all right let's go that's a nice tim that's so funny hallelujah they're beautiful look at that crust

19:15now i have all the components my pie is cool and i have just a few minutes to decorate i'm making my

19:21cigarettes and then i'm going to dip the tips into sanding sugar i want to hear this is definitely

19:28naughty one minute left final details more important than ever it all counts no fresh i start adding my

19:37snowflakes on i'm not thrilled about this 20 seconds left i'm gonna hurry oh hi hi hi oh something big

19:48is about to happen oh my gosh okay that's it time's up everything is riding on these pies

20:01hey bakers can i get everybody's attention please i need all eyes up here because we've never done

20:07this before oh my god holiday baking championship it's a massive twist there's no more time for twists

20:15you're late to the game buddy what do you mean guys this is going to be groundbreaking oh my god

20:22we just finished what could i'm gonna throw up

20:29what is happening all right bakers i bet you're wondering what's up yeah yeah in a test of team

20:38dynamics and a test of your palates we want to see if you can make good decisions as a team

20:44so the judges want you to choose only the top two pies from your team to put in front of them

20:50oh my god you're gonna be tasting each other's pies to decide and that's why we made two pies

20:58okay that's right wow entire team's fate rests in the hands of the two pies are you kidding you select

21:05to represent you all right let's get to tasting team naughty you're up first

21:09i'm a little stunned it is a bit shocking to then have to now judge your own teammates especially

21:18because we all are competitive and we all want to win yeah we'll see how this turns out all right team

21:23naughty you're already down two bakers you don't want to be down a third so it's very important you guys

21:29are honest with one another in terms of whose two pies are the best okay so charles tell us what you made

21:36so i just made a classic apple pie and then on the top it's a little christmas worm coming out

21:41of a rotten apple i think that blade is a really really strong technical scale the crust is so

21:46beautiful yeah i think this is a phenomenal apple pie the textures are insane the cream is really good

21:51honestly i can't find a single negative well that's only one dessert yeah so sounds like you guys are

21:56off to a good start i really want to beat out ashley at some point so i'm feeling optimistic

22:02i want to go next i did a sweet potato custard pecans on top and then obviously the real naughty list

22:09did you also make caricatures of the other bakers on team i have alex their mvp at the moment she's

22:14the one really getting rid of the evidence and we have violet over here rest in peace it's so funny

22:20they would absolutely eat this up for naughty theme i agree it's like team naughty all the way i think

22:26it tastes good but the top part of your crust it's like burned so i'm worried they're going to harp on

22:30you over that i agree i hear that a little scorch yeah we'll see how the other two are but uh i think

22:35i'm on the fence on this one on the fence on this one yeah okay all right tarik you're up man so it's

22:40supposed to be like an ashtray for santa so this is a blueberry cream pie nico i feel like this theme

22:47is right down your alley it really is i think it's really funny i think it's so silly tarik that's really

22:54good in that blueberry compote is great yeah your custard is super smooth and it's a good balance of

23:00sweetness and acidity without being overpowering so best ashtray i've ever eaten thank you this is

23:05good like i feel good about this i think my pie could make it into the top too all right ashley

23:11what did you make so i made a black pepper pumpkin pie and i did the pumpkin pie because my dad hates

23:17pumpkin pie it's beautiful i love the cookie my one potential iffy thing is it doesn't immediately

23:23scream naughty like the rest of them maybe do and uh okay it's a little under baked yeah yeah my crust

23:30is raw it's a little on the middle a little raw on the base yeah i'm seeing it now all right

23:35i don't need to taste any more of mine um we can't serve that yeah if your pie isn't chosen you could

23:43be facing elimination if your team loses all right we can't serve what looks like a raw pie to the judges

23:49and i'm just heartbroken i think it's pretty unanimous at this point yeah tarik and uh charles this is a

23:54big challenge to keep team naughty all intact and ultimately tarik charles is going to come down to

24:00you and your pies all right oh my gosh i feel like i'm gonna vomit if tarik or charles pie doesn't win

24:07the immunity for us i'm actually on the chopping block for the first time and it feels a little bit

24:12like a fall from grace to potentially go home because of a pie i am sick thinking about it yeah

24:20so we'll see yeah no pressure okay it seemed nice all right so camry go ahead and introduce your pie

24:30for everybody what did you make so my little christmas hat pie is a bourbon apple ginger miso pie

24:38with a pistachio french pan it is adorable oh so cute i'm confident that we can all deliver on

24:45constructive criticism but i think stepping into this moment as the pie guy i feel like

24:52i could have the tendency to be a little over critical i think it's pretty sweet sweet okay

24:57overall i'm just worried about it hitting the judge's palette like the saltiness is there

25:02but there's a lot of sweet yeah i agree with you all right next up we have aaron my pie is a blueberry

25:08ganache pie it's reading nice i've never really seen that color blue i like the texture on the crust

25:15it's like nice and flaky i think the ganache up top is just a touch broken i don't like the

25:20consistency of my pie but it needs me a more solid pie yeah okay we're gonna go jean carlos next so

25:27my pie is a pumpkin and cherry and on the top cinnamon buttercream i love it i would see this in a

25:36storybook i like the flavors going on i really like the tartness and contrast to the spice of the filling

25:42yeah it's a fun choice it's not one that i think i've seen i agree not just because i made but i

25:48think tea's great i'm happy all right pie guy you're up chase i made a bourbon pecan chocolate pie

25:56a mascarpone whip i made toffee candy nuts and a chocolate crumble on top this is so good the

26:02pie is nice and flaky i love the creaminess of the filling i love that i can get the bourbon it's not

26:07too much no i could eat that all day all right good stuff chase way to go good job babe all right

26:14i guess that leaves alex so what do we got so we have a lemon meringue pie it also has a lemon thyme

26:21pie dough um the crust for this one unfortunately looks like a little undercooked and i'm not sure

26:28about the meringue seemed like a little bit loose and the citrus flavor is very strong yeah i i definitely

26:36agree everything about the pie was not what i wanted and i would be incredibly embarrassed

26:40to present it to the judges so i think the consistency of chase's pie was so good the flavors

26:47were so unexpected and john carlos chase and john carlos that's my vote i would agree your two best

26:52pies in this challenge belong to chase and john carlos without a question i hope you made the right

26:57decisions let's bring in the judges okay judges we've never done this before we've asked each team

27:05to present to you their two best holiday pies that they're hoping are going to win their team

27:10immunity okay up first chase from the nice team chase come on up so this is our first time getting

27:20to see team nice being judged in front of us and i am so nervous because we're going up against the pie

27:26king himself chase great to see you again okay why don't you tell our judges what you made so it is a

27:31bourbon pecan chocolate pie oh my god that crust that's gorgeous yeah this is the whole thanksgiving

27:40experience at my grandma mary's the pecan pie is not only the one that's always fought over but

27:47while we were kids i think to distract us and keep us out of the kitchen it was like go collect sticks

27:53go make leaf piles in the yard so i wanted to replicate the leaf piles

27:57it looks delicious like if i would see that in a bakery case i would say give me three of those

28:05um so i love what you've done here now i do think it's nice looking but does it really show the nice

28:11theme i don't know oh oh my god feel so weird to be in here to watch this and lute for bad comments

28:18it's like a little too even a little too symmetric to give me something as

28:22organic as a leaf pile okay maybe you'll get that nice theme in the flavor sure will just wait i feel

28:31really uncertain i'm feeling nervous for my team because it just felt like a little bit of mixed

28:37reviews in terms of decor so i'm just hoping that it's going to really hit with the flavors

28:52okay it's not your typical pecan pie it is well baked i'm loving all of those like toasted flavors

29:11you get from the pecan but the bourbon kind of overtakes a lot of it for me yeah nance how about you

29:16well more bourbon maybe just a scotch too much bourbon wow oh you think so what yeah i'm so shook

29:34that i out bourboned nancy i mean we all know she she has a stronger palate for alcohol so it's delicious

29:41yes yes but the bourbon is forward it is forward yes yeah oh my god i loved the bourbon in it i did

29:48too i don't i mean i don't even drink i think the bourbon in here is fantastic yeah i really like it

29:54and your crust is really some of the best we've had on the show really incredible this crust is amazing

30:00just a plus all right chase nice job chase's pie wasn't perfect that was not perfect it was great you

30:07did such a good job you did such a good job thank you all all right judges from the nice team

30:13jean carlos let's hope it falls apart i made for you a pumpkin and cherry pie oh pumpkin and cherry

30:24pumpkin and cherry pumpkin and cherry on my decoration i decide to go for a cartoonish we have cherries on top

30:32we have the christmas decoration and the piping is a cinnamon buttercream wait buttercream buttercream

30:41cardi are you seeing the nice here i see the nice those are some really big cherries and like you said

30:46it's like the cartoonish side of it and i really like that yeah and cherries and pumpkin we'll see man

30:53i'm confident this pie can be a winner because i take so many risks especially with the flavors and i hope

31:02the judges understand that well i am tasting a lot of pumpkin and i like it a lot good the cherry

31:12is underwhelming because the pumpkin is overwhelming and i think it's not balanced yeah everything is

31:21just a little bit off first of all buttercream on a pie i think is pretty weird that is weird i'd like

31:28that you kind of push the envelope with making pumpkin pie with cherry and your crust is incredible

31:33it's flaky it's buttery between you and chase i don't know who makes a better crust you guys make

31:39awesome crust all right john carlos thank you so much god i'm feeling a little more confident because

31:47i thought they were going to get rave reviews but at the same time that means they're going to be as

31:51critical with ours if not more so don't forget it's a little of both yeah up next the naughty team

31:58can they beat the nice team and win immunity okay let's see you guys love nico smoking's naughty

33:53this well this makes me really nervous yeah me too hello judges hi charles i made a classic american

34:04apple pie and we would go apple picking as a kid but every once in a while you get a little critter

34:11inside that rotten apple so i did a little cheeky play on that character it's sort of naughty nice like

34:17you could have gave us like a really like nasty looking worm it's cheeky but i want to see a

34:22little bit more naughty got it naughty there's a worm in your pie like what do you what do you want

35:08well i love your filling the apples are cooked perfectly i love the cream i don't love the bottom

35:15i just think it's a little bit thick yes yeah just need a little more something because the

35:20underside it's almost flowery like you kind of get that sort of flower that flower flavor oh

35:26at least mine don't taste flour it's true but on the whole this whole thing together is a really

35:33really nice bite of apple pie charles thank you

35:39that was pretty good all right well i think we nailed it

35:45we have some notes but he had some notes so i think it's just tight yeah i think it's just tight

35:53all right so bakers we know it wasn't easy picking just two holiday pies from each of your teams to

35:58present to present to the judges but the judges have identified the top pie from each team the best pie

36:04from the naughty team came from

36:09tarik

36:13and the baker who made our favorite pie on the nice team was

36:20chase

36:31tarik let's go

36:53myself in so many ways good job buddy it's a bummer that i didn't take the win for my team

37:00but i'm really happy for tarik okay so that means of course one member from team nice is now up for

37:07elimination but here's the thing we don't feel comfortable deciding who's going home

37:13since we didn't taste all of your team's pods we only tasted the top two so you guys are going to have

37:22to do it oh my god

37:32only you know who deserves to be walking out that door so you're going to have to make the decision

37:37amongst yourselves that's brutal gagged i am shocked that team nice has to eliminate one of their own

37:45this is not what i was expecting i am gooped gagged bewildered so we have to decide we have to decide

37:52this is a really really horrific shock now as you know nice team of course the top two pie makers

38:00from your team are safe that's chase and john carlos thank you that of course leaves alex aaron

38:07and camry but as a team you now have a decision to make why don't you all come with me

38:38i feel sick to my stomach i really i feel like i'm going to go home

38:44i feel like this bake is poor enough that it wouldn't be unfair if they sent me home i would

38:50absolutely understand where they were coming from gosh what's going through my head is how

38:57important it is for each of the other people on my team to be where they're at they want to live to

39:05bake another day where i feel like i did this so this is who i decided should be eliminated

39:15i voted for myself thanks to leave i don't feel good about this

39:24thanks thanks this is not easy everyone on team nice have so much passion and talent

39:38but we promised each other to be honest here i'm glad we don't have that pressure
