FunTranscript
00:00Naughty down by the flavor.
00:02He's talking smack over there.
00:04In a wild twist, each team had to put up only their two best pies for judging.
00:08I think it's pretty unanimous at this point.
00:10Yeah.
00:11Tarek and Charles.
00:13Chase and Giancarlos, that's my vote.
00:15Oh.
00:16It's Tarek.
00:18You nailed it.
00:19The Naughty team took the win.
00:22Erin, I don't know what the nice team's gonna do without their alpha mom.
00:25They're gonna get Naughty.
00:30All right.
00:35I'm liking your hat.
00:37Oh.
00:38Oh, my God.
00:39This is so cute.
00:40Oh, my God.
00:42That's so cool.
00:43Wow.
00:44That's magical.
00:46Oh, hey, team nice.
00:48Hey, team Naughty.
00:49You know, I love building a snowman this time of year.
00:52And up in Canada, where I grew up, man, building and decorating a snowman, that was the perfect
00:57snow day activity.
00:58So the challenge today is to make a dessert that represents a fun snow day activity.
01:03Okay.
01:04And each of you will be assigned activities like building a snowman, sledding, or indoor
01:09fun, like playing board games or having an indoor picnic.
01:13Okay, well, that's so good.
01:14All right.
01:15Now, this is the only bake today.
01:17Best dessert wins immunity from elimination for their entire team.
01:20And, of course, the losing team will lose a baker.
01:24Now, team Naughty, about your advantage, because you won the last challenge.
01:29This year, you never know what's coming next.
01:33You have two choices.
01:35The nice advantage is actually really helpful.
01:39You can give yourself a 15-minute head start in this challenge.
01:42Okay.
01:43Okay.
01:43That's pretty nice.
01:44That's a lot of time.
01:44Yeah.
01:45And the Naughty advantage is really naughty.
01:48Ugh.
01:49You can take a baker from the other team.
01:58Oh.
02:01Are you serious?
02:03And that baker you take is going to stay on your team.
02:08Oh, no.
02:09We're nice.
02:11We don't belong.
02:13All right.
02:13This is a big decision.
02:15Go ahead.
02:15Talk it over.
02:16Can we take someone?
02:17Wait, hold on.
02:19Let's think about it for a second.
02:20The twists, the turns, it is crazy this season.
02:23We would have a two-person advantage on them, and that just gives us two more chances to
02:28beat them.
02:29I would sabotage.
02:30I can't even make a pie, so, like.
02:32One, two, three.
02:33Naughty.
02:34All right, so Naughty team, what's it going to be?
02:36We're going to take Alex onto our team.
02:40Oh.
02:43Wow.
02:44I'm like, that's, wow.
02:45You decided to take Alex and draft her onto team Naughty.
02:50You don't want me.
02:50I'm so mean.
02:52I have a temper.
02:54I know she's, that's why you belong.
02:55That's why.
02:55Oh, no.
02:56That's why you're on her team.
02:57She's been one of the top ones this competition.
03:00More than anything, it's just a compliment to you.
03:02We, I think, we just think you're really good.
03:03Yeah, we think highly of you.
03:05Yeah.
03:05I feel very, very complimented.
03:09I feel really honored.
03:10Here you go, Alex.
03:12And they are very nice people.
03:14I don't want to go over there.
03:17You are officially now baking with Team Naughty.
03:21Alex has a little naughtiness inside her, so I think she's a good fit.
03:24And the stronger players we have on our team, the better chance we, as a whole team, can
03:29go further.
03:30I don't even know where to stand.
03:32We're going to, we're going to bring it home.
03:33It's going to be even sweeter when we win.
03:35Okay, bakers, you're making snow day desserts.
03:38Oh, it's our town delivery guy.
03:39What?
03:42Oh.
03:43Oh, my goodness.
03:46Oh, my goodness.
03:47I can't just put it down on the floor.
03:52Thanks, delivery guy.
03:54At least you took a picture, you know.
03:56He's not getting a good tab.
03:57Okay.
03:58When time starts, grab a package to discover your snow day theme.
04:02There are two and a half hours on the clock, and your baking time starts.
04:09Now.
04:12He didn't go fast.
04:18What it is, what it is, what it is.
04:19It's Christmas morning.
04:21I got indoor picnic.
04:24Sledding.
04:25Building a snowman.
04:26Snowshoeing.
04:27Cutting out snowflakes.
04:28I got playing board games.
04:30Building an indoor fort.
04:32Ooh, okay.
04:33All right.
04:33I'll like go there.
04:34All right, friends.
04:34Got that bad boy in the middle.
04:35Nice.
04:36Only three people and I.
04:37What are we going to do?
04:39Well, we're going to come out strong.
04:40All right, guys.
04:41Well, welcome to Team Naughty.
04:42Thanks.
04:43It's a little more fun, you know.
04:44That looks good on you.
04:45It's a warm welcome.
04:46I look good in everything.
04:47This is an elimination challenge, and we need to beat Team Naughty.
04:52We've lost two in a row, and now they're taking Alex, one of our strongest players from our team.
04:59It's a team competition, but it's still individual.
05:02At the end of the day, only one person can beat the winner of this entire competition.
05:07I am betting on myself.
05:09I know what I'm capable of.
05:10I'm going to bring my A game.
05:11Three, two, nine.
05:13Naughty.
05:13All right.
05:14Let's go.
05:16All right.
05:17Let's have some fun.
05:18Get that mise-en-place going.
05:21Okay.
05:22Red, red.
05:22Oh, no.
05:24Oh, no.
05:24Did you see that?
05:28Good.
05:28Okay.
05:29No one saw that.
05:31Wait, Chase, what are you making?
05:32Don't let them change you.
05:33I won't.
05:34Oh, we're already changing her.
05:36I'm making brownies.
05:37What are you making?
05:38What are you making?
05:39Brownies.
05:40I'm making a brownie.
05:42Oh, fight.
05:42Are you serious?
05:43Fight, fight, fight.
05:44Shut up.
05:45You can separate us, but you'll never separate our hearts.
05:48Oh, my God.
05:51Too much.
05:52We're basically using the exact same ingredients today.
05:54What kind of brownies are you making?
05:55I'm doing a, um...
05:56Better not be a peanut butter s'more.
05:57Are you doing peanut butter s'more?
05:58I'm doing a caramel crunch.
06:00Oh.
06:00Yes.
06:01Battle of the brownies.
06:02Yes.
06:03May the naughtiest brownie win.
06:04Yeah, seriously.
06:06I know this brownie is crazy good.
06:09You whip the eggs and that aerates the dough.
06:12There's no leavener, no baking soda, no baking powder.
06:16Relying on the air that you incorporate into the eggs for its texture.
06:19And that's all you really need to give a nice souffled texture.
06:24It's going to have a graham cracker cookie base.
06:28It's going to swirl in a layer of homemade peanut butter.
06:32And then it's going to have some marshmallowy meringue on top.
06:35Salty, sweet.
06:36It's a childhood dream.
06:37What do we need for a picnic?
06:38We need a blanket at the base.
06:40It's going to have a trio of gingerbread men surrounding the food.
06:44Swiss rolls, cupcakes, cookies.
06:45All these sweet things for these sweet little cookies to be eating.
06:49I can't possibly think of a better way to spend a snow day.
06:52I used to have two block lines around my bakery for these brownies.
06:56So...
06:56This is super weird.
07:00I want to go home.
07:02It's not home home.
07:03Was your home over there?
07:04It was over there.
07:05It's behind James.
07:05The home was over there in the nice team and they stole you.
07:08Say nice things.
07:08I only say nice things, so...
07:10How does it feel to be over here?
07:12She's evil.
07:13Wow.
07:14You've really been accepted, I can see.
07:16I think that I've made an impression.
07:18I think so, too.
07:19I'm incredibly flattered.
07:21It's taking some adjustment, but I'm rolling with it.
07:24Yeah.
07:24What snow day theme did you get?
07:27I am building an indoor fort.
07:28Oh, nice.
07:29So I'm doing a brownie base with a crunchy caramel,
07:33a bunch of different ganaches,
07:35and then I'm going to have a scene of little gingerbread folks
07:39with a nice little blanket fort over top and a couch,
07:43and they're going to be using a spirit board
07:45to summon the spirit of Christmas.
07:47No way.
07:48And, you know, Santa and Satan are anagrams,
07:51so I'm going to kind of be like they summoned the wrong S figure.
07:56Oh, my goodness.
08:00Did you even have a naughty laugh?
08:01Did you just hear that?
08:03That was incredible.
08:05It's like all coming out now.
08:06I feel like you've been released.
08:07I think it's fun to play around with some naughtier themes, you know?
08:12So I'm feeling a little bit better about it.
08:14Oh, it's in the oven.
08:15Look at home, Miss Feeney.
08:16Oh, yes.
08:17We're not wasting any time today.
08:19All right, bakers, you got two hours left.
08:23For real?
08:24Oh, man.
08:24How has 30 minutes gone by?
08:26And make sure your snow day desserts read either naughty or nice.
08:30I've been the top two for so many challenges.
08:32I need that win.
08:33I'm a little sick of being the bridesmaid, ready to be the bride.
08:36I know the end game is the win at the end,
08:39but I really would like to get a win before that at some point.
08:42So I got cutting out snowflakes.
08:45We're going to start on vanilla cremeau.
08:49All that vanilla bean is what we're going for.
08:52I am inspired by just the pure white of snow for the snowflakes,
08:56and I'm just doing a vanilla bean entremé.
08:58Vanilla is sometimes a kind of negative term.
09:02Like, it's bland, it's boring, it's vanilla, but that's so wrong.
09:07Vanilla, it can be a really strong powerhouse flavor on its own when it's done right.
09:13I'm going to do a few different textures of snowflakes.
09:16I'll do some with gum paste, some that are hand-cut out of wafer paper.
09:19And then my naughty twist is going to be a little depiction of little Charlie running with scissors,
09:24so excited to make these snowflakes.
09:26This is my vanilla white chocolate mousse.
09:29It's always a nerve-wracking thing because the whole dessert is based on if it sets up or not.
09:33So we'll see.
09:34Being a chef around the holidays really pulls you away from your family and your life
09:38because there's more events, more parties.
09:41If I were to win that $25,000, I want to just give back to my family
09:45and take them on a trip to make up for all the holidays we weren't able to spend together
09:50and make some new memories.
09:52Okay, sweet.
09:54Kamri, how we doing over there?
09:55Good.
09:56No, it's just, you know, the three of us rocking and rolling over here on the nice team,
10:00and, you know, we're still feeling confident.
10:02The fire never goes out.
10:05Every challenge is fresh.
10:06Every challenge is new.
10:07And that's just a new opportunity to knock the socks off the judges.
10:11So I got building a snowman, which is very fun and very cute.
10:15Perfection.
10:16So I'm making a spice cake and a little bit of raspberry ginger compote
10:21and a maple ginger mousseline.
10:26So the judges have been really telling me to focus on presentation.
10:30Flavors, I think, are good.
10:32Presentation, I really want to bump it up.
10:33I love to decorate in more of an abstract way.
10:38I feel like I don't really make stories very often with my decorating,
10:41so that's going to be, like, the challenge.
10:43So the goal today is to do a fun little scene
10:48in which there's, like, light poles in the background
10:51and then a snowman in the center that's, like, half being built
10:55because it's building a snowman.
10:59Maple ginger.
11:00I love him.
11:01I love the maple.
11:02The last main he I won for my team, which was awesome.
11:06It was really nice that my team was safe,
11:08and it was because of me.
11:10Being the youngest baker and winning
11:12helps to prove myself to a lot of the other bakers
11:14in terms of what I can do only at the age of 19.
11:18So hopefully I keep up the good mojo.
11:20So I got snowshoeing.
11:22I'm making a rum raisin carrot cake.
11:24Rum raisin is definitely a flavor combo
11:26that my family goes crazy for during the holidays.
11:29And I decided to go with, like,
11:32thinking back to my holidays in the Middle East
11:34just because my only experience snowshoeing
11:36was in the desert while I lived in Saudi Arabia.
11:39My dad, he's from the Middle East,
11:41so I moved to Riyadh when I was nine,
11:43and then I left when I was 11.
11:46It does not snow there ever,
11:48and I figured that because
11:50that was an important part of my life,
11:53I could definitely make snowshoeing
11:55into a sandy day activity.
11:57That's the naughty part.
11:58There is no snow.
12:00I'm going to decorate it to, like,
12:01look like a nice desert,
12:02so it's going to have, like, palm trees,
12:03and I'm going to have, like, a camel
12:04and some, like, gingerbread people,
12:06and I'm going to have the gingerbread people
12:07and the camel snowshoeing on, like, the desert sand,
12:10just making it all, like, very cutesy
12:12while also still trying to be pretty naughty.
12:14All right, go in in the oven.
12:15Bakers, you got 90 minutes left.
12:17Team Nice, how does it feel being down one baker?
12:23Well, the silence says a lot.
12:29I didn't add leavening into my cake batter.
12:31Oops.
12:33I put my cake in the oven,
12:34and then I realized I didn't add the baking soda.
12:37Oh, that's hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
12:39I don't have time to re-link my batter.
12:41This is bad.
12:42Without the baking soda,
12:43it's going to be a dense mess.
12:48Okay, bakers, you are creating snow day desserts.
12:52The winning dessert is going to keep
12:53their entire team safe from elimination.
12:56It'll be fine.
12:57It'll be fine.
12:57It'll be fine.
12:58I realized I forgot the baking soda for my cakes.
13:02So, thank God I caught it soon enough,
13:04or else it, like, would have been a hot mess.
13:07But it's still liquid, so I think it should be okay.
13:09I'm just hoping that I can get it mixed in enough
13:12where the cake is still going to rise properly.
13:15Just hope this works.
13:17Giancarlos, how we doing?
13:18What snow day theme did you get?
13:20So, I get coloring.
13:22I'm making today a hazelnut intramé.
13:25What I want to picture on this dessert today
13:27is about my future.
13:28Okay.
13:29How I want to have my own family with my husband.
13:32If I have a chance to win this competition,
13:35I will start the process for adoption.
13:38For the decoration,
13:39I'm going to make a little boy coloring on the floor,
13:42crayons, drawings, and Christmas tree
13:45in front of the fireplace during the holidays.
13:48Good luck.
13:50John, how are you doing, babe?
13:52I'm making my inserts for my intramé
13:54with a chocolate sponge and hazelnut cremeux.
13:58This time, I want to show a different technique
14:01for the judges.
14:02When I cut my intramé,
14:04I'm not going to have a regular layer.
14:07I will have a different surprise for the judges.
14:11Now, my intramé just needs to set.
14:16Let's go.
14:18Thank you, my girl.
14:18Just leave me one.
14:19Oh, I'm just taking one.
14:20Okay.
14:21Actually, wait, can I take two?
14:22Just give me one.
14:23Oh, well.
14:23You take the rest.
14:24Love you.
14:25Bye.
14:25Thanks.
14:26Love you, Mina.
14:27Our team dynamic is really finally pulling itself together,
14:30and I just love it.
14:31Alex, will you taste this for me?
14:32Yeah.
14:33Now with Alex,
14:34we're constantly taste-testing everything.
14:36We are communicating properly.
14:39Do I need to hit it with any citrus or anything?
14:40A little salt.
14:41I would say a touch of salt,
14:42but that's lovely.
14:43All right.
14:43That is cherry.
14:44As a team that started off pretty much struggling,
14:48I feel like we're the stronger team now.
14:50So my theme today is playing board games.
14:54I am going to decorate like a very popular board game,
14:57but today I'm not sorry because, you know,
15:01it's a little bit naughtier.
15:02My boyfriend John and I become two different people
15:06when we play board games,
15:07and I think everybody does.
15:08I think everybody has a little bit of naughty
15:10on their shoulder that's like,
15:11I'm going to win.
15:12I'm going to do anything to do it.
15:13Putting in some extra brandy for Miss Nancy today.
15:17Oh, yes.
15:18So I'm doing a cherry almond pie bar.
15:21To decorate,
15:22I am going to create a sugar cookie game board
15:25with gumdrops and holiday game pieces.
15:29I'm going to go get that into the oven right now.
15:32There we go.
15:33Sleep well, baby.
15:35All right, bakers, you got 60 minutes left.
15:38I hope no one else is using honey today
15:39because I'm using it all.
15:41I'm going to be making baklava today.
15:43Baklava is a very traditional Middle Eastern dessert,
15:46but my baklava today,
15:48I'll be taking that classic
15:49and adding some holiday spices to it.
15:53So my baklava will consist of layers of phyllo.
15:56I'll be brushing with butter,
15:57a spiced pistachio and walnut mix
16:00and will be doused with a holiday spiced honey syrup.
16:05We're turning up baklava a little Christmassy.
16:07Nico, what snow day event did you get?
16:10So I got sledding.
16:11Sledding?
16:12Very cute.
16:13Well, it's not going to be cute for long.
16:15Uh-oh, there's a naughty component,
16:16obviously, with you.
16:18Always.
16:18So they're actually going to be sledding down a volcano.
16:23Because I was thinking to myself, right,
16:25what's the naughtiest type of sledding you can do?
16:28Bro.
16:29Nico, like, your mind.
16:31I'm going to be constructing a volcano
16:33out of a homemade pistachio and tahini rice cereal treat.
16:37It's going to be sitting atop a baklava.
16:40Oh, dude, amazing.
16:42And then I'm going to have some raspberry rose lava coming down.
16:45I was just going to ask.
16:46Like, it's one thing if the kids are, like, tobogganing down
16:48and the volcano's not actually erupting.
16:51Oh, yeah, of course it's going to erupt.
16:52Who do you think I am?
16:54So I'm going to decorate with isomalt flames
16:57erupting from the volcano.
16:59Sleds out of speculis cookies, candy canes,
17:02and then I'm going to have little modeling chocolate
17:04boys and girls sledding down the volcano.
17:06Cool.
17:07Let's go.
17:08Chase, you doing good?
17:10Yeah.
17:11Good.
17:12Getting started on my fondant decor.
17:14Starting first with a blanket.
17:16Work it, work it, work it, work it.
17:18I am making little baby desserts
17:20to go on to my indoor picnic.
17:23Like a little mini cake.
17:26I've never, literally never worked with fondant.
17:29Oh, look at this little tiny cake.
17:31Oh, my God.
17:31Look at my little Swiss roll.
17:34It's cute, right?
17:35I hope the judges like them.
17:37She's gorgeous.
17:39I'm adding a chewy caramel to the top of my brownie,
17:43and it will kind of cut through that richness
17:44of all of the different chocolates.
17:46That looks good.
17:48Time to decorate.
17:50I grab my entremet.
17:52I need to get it out of the mold to glaze it.
17:58Oh, my God.
17:59My mousse is not set.
18:02This can't be happening.
18:07Aye, aye, aye.
18:07Moose is just a little soft, but if I don't get it out now,
18:13I won't have a glaze.
18:17So we are, you know, kind of improvising.
18:20There's a few edge chunks that have kind of stuck to the mold,
18:23so I carefully, using a warm offset spatula,
18:26I kind of smooth out those cracks.
18:29Okay.
18:30Can't really tell, relatively.
18:31It's definitely killing me a little bit inside,
18:34because I want to impress the judges.
18:36I want to put up a really nice, clean dessert.
18:39And if there's a lot of bumps and lumps on this entremet,
18:42it's really going to show through my entremet.
18:45But we'll see.
18:45All right, bakers, 30 minutes left.
18:49Wow.
18:50Snow day desserts.
18:52Remember, one of your desserts is going to win your team immunity.
18:56Hey, Caleb, babe.
18:57We're doing good.
18:58Chase, you want a taste of my cake?
19:00I need your opinion.
19:02I'm going to add a soak.
19:04Yeah.
19:05Soak.
19:06Perfect.
19:07So growing up in Michigan, we got a lot of snow.
19:09When we heard we had a snow day,
19:12we just rejoiced,
19:13because it was like,
19:14oh, I can watch cartoons all day
19:16and then go outside if I want,
19:18trying to build snowmen and igloos.
19:21Snow days were the best days.
19:24Looks great.
19:25Smells so good.
19:27My cakes look good,
19:28which means that it's all okay.
19:31I didn't add my baking soda too late.
19:33Crisis averted.
19:36I do kind of like a ribbon design around the sides.
19:39And then on the top,
19:40I sprinkle a lot of graham cracker crumbs
19:42to look like the desert salmon.
19:43I get my dessert out of the glass chiller
19:47and I'm going to cover with my mirror glaze.
19:51Yes, this is the green I'm looking for.
19:54Representing nice.
19:56Team green.
19:57Team green.
19:59Green for money.
20:01So right now I'm making my coloring sticks.
20:04I'm melting different colors of chocolate
20:06and I'm filling up straws.
20:11For making the drawings,
20:13I'm using wafer paper,
20:15cutting in small pieces.
20:17Very realistic.
20:19All right.
20:20Let's get this party started.
20:22I'm making my game board.
20:25I'm going to do it all on a sugar cookie
20:26with royal icing.
20:28Nancy likes her Christmas colors.
20:30So coming into this competition from day one,
20:33I don't know that I did believe in myself enough,
20:35but today this is a challenge
20:37that's really heavily focused on the decorating aspect
20:41and I really want to just crush it.
20:43If we're going to go big,
20:44we better go home.
20:45Or go big or go home.
20:47That's what I meant.
20:48Not go home.
20:50Oh, look at our beautiful baby.
20:52And now the most important step,
20:55straight out the oven.
20:57So you make the syrup first
20:59and then you have a cold syrup
21:00and then when you pour it onto the hot baklava,
21:02that's how it really takes in that flavor,
21:04really infuses into those nuts
21:05and that's when you really get that ooey, gooey,
21:08scrumptious, umptious kind of baklava
21:09texture you're looking for.
21:10And now it's time to start working on the volcano.
21:13I grew up in Chicago
21:15and I have a lot of really great memories
21:17of going out, playing in the snow.
21:19But that said,
21:20because we had so much snow all the time,
21:23a lot of my favorite holiday season memories
21:26was escaping from the snow
21:28and going somewhere a little beachier,
21:30a little more tropical
21:31and that's part of the reason I wanted to do a volcano.
21:32It's kind of that escape from the snow.
21:35Perfect.
21:36Ten minutes left, bakers.
21:38Oh my gosh.
21:39This is a time for details, everyone.
21:41Look at this Swiss roll.
21:43Come on.
21:44Now I need to set the scene
21:45for my cozy indoor picnic.
21:48Got lots of cute little cakes.
21:50I'm so impressed with my own fondant work
21:52and I think the judges will be really impressed
21:54by the small details
21:56that I have put into my decoration.
21:58Chase, I'm sorry if my brownies
22:00are just the tiniest bit better.
22:02They won't be.
22:03The judges will let us know.
22:05I'm making my couch out of rice cereal treats.
22:09You can't have a pillow fort
22:10without some sort of structure
22:12and the couch is usually the structure.
22:14Then I place my gingerbread people
22:16and then I place the spirit board
22:19right in between them.
22:20I've gone from like, think nice,
22:23think like classic holidays,
22:25think about holiday memories
22:26and now I'm just like metal, you know?
22:28I hope that reads blanket.
22:32Okay, this is going to look good.
22:33This is going to work.
22:34This is going to work.
22:35For the snowshoes,
22:36I take some pretzels that I broke in half
22:39and so I attach it to the base
22:41of the gingerbread camel
22:43and the gingerbread person
22:45and now it looks like they're snowshoeing
22:47together through the desert.
22:48That's cute.
22:50How are we doing, nice team?
22:51We got this.
22:52This will be a little kid coloring.
22:56I place my drawings
22:57and I place my crayons all over my dessert.
23:01Finally, I add my Christmas tree.
23:04My tree is a little bit crooked
23:06but I think I will be safe.
23:09Five minutes left.
23:12All right, moment of truth.
23:15Boom.
23:16Ashley.
23:17Yes.
23:18How's the game board look?
23:19Great.
23:21Very colorful.
23:22Sorry, not sorry.
23:24Boom, boom.
23:26Lobshed.
23:28What are you doing?
23:29You're making little sleds.
23:30Oh, huge.
23:32Ha, dope.
23:35I wanted to just have really clear flavor
23:38and a very clear story
23:39and I think the boy running with scissors
23:41is very obvious.
23:45In my design,
23:46I want to have some wafer paper
23:47cut out snowflakes
23:48and I think the duality
23:50of the like childlike paper ones
23:52and the kind of pristine gum paste
23:54cut out ones
23:55will really add a nice,
23:56elegant design to my entourage.
23:58Two minutes.
24:00Behind.
24:00One baker's dessert
24:01is going to keep their team
24:03entirely safe from elimination.
24:05I will not lose this.
24:07Do you need something?
24:08Um, no, I'm just going to start
24:10to make my snowman.
24:11Oh, there to be little snowbanks.
24:15I'm a little worried about Kamri.
24:17I just don't know.
24:18Her cake does not look decorated right now.
24:20It's one of my trees.
24:22I'm going to use porcelain scoops
24:24to make my snowman.
24:26One minute left.
24:27Anyone have spare bonnet?
24:29That's out.
24:30Red, whatever.
24:30Which one?
24:31Red, black bonnet.
24:33Red.
24:34Okay, great.
24:35We got to go.
24:36We're getting the scarf
24:37for my snowman.
24:40Decorations have to be on point.
24:42There we go.
24:45Oh, Santa.
24:46Oh, my goodness.
24:48I almost forgot
24:49the spirit of Christmas.
24:50Ten seconds left.
24:55That's it.
24:56That's all she wrote.
24:57All right.
25:00All right, stop.
25:02Woo!
25:04Team Nice,
25:05you're going to be up first
25:06and judging.
25:06All right.
25:08I'm a little stressed.
25:10I'm not going to lie.
25:12So how are you guys
25:13feeling about Team Naughty today?
25:15They have five people now.
25:17What's going on?
25:18They have five chances.
25:20We have three.
25:21Yeah.
25:21We really need a win today.
25:23I'm confident in us.
25:25Yeah.
25:25All right, Chase,
25:27come on in.
25:28Oh, Chase.
25:29You're trying to shine.
25:31I do feel pressure.
25:33It's absolutely crucial
25:34that we don't lose
25:34anybody else from our team,
25:36so I think we have
25:37a real battle on our hands.
25:40Hello.
25:41Hi, Chase.
25:42All right.
25:42Snow Day-themed desserts.
25:44Tell us, Chase,
25:45what did you make?
25:46I had an indoor picnic,
25:47so I did a ton of fondant work,
25:50which is my first time.
25:51I am very impressed,
25:53Chase,
25:54with that fondant work.
25:56I definitely got
25:57indoor picnic immediately.
25:59The way that you made
26:00your Swiss roll,
26:02it is really, really clean.
26:04I immediately knew
26:05those were Linzer cookies.
26:06Looks really delicious.
26:07This is amazing.
26:09Screams, Team Nice.
26:10Great job.
26:12Let's cut it up, Chase.
26:13Oh, my goodness.
26:16Are you kidding me?
26:17Goodness.
26:18So, tell us what you made.
26:19I made a peanut butter
26:21s'more brownie.
26:23It's got a cookie crust base
26:25and a pillowy, fluffy meringue.
26:28They're going to love it.
26:29Yes.
26:30It looks so good.
26:33Cardia, you made a face
26:34when you took a bite.
26:38Seriously, Chase,
26:39this is amazing.
26:41It's satisfying,
26:42it's gooey,
26:42it's light,
26:43it's airy,
26:44it's like everything in one.
26:45Oh, wow.
26:46But it's weird
26:47because a lot of times
26:48you get a gooey brownie,
26:50it's just because
26:50it's underbaked.
26:51This is something else.
26:52It's like a cheesecake.
26:54You know,
26:54it's so beautiful.
26:57Nice job.
26:57I appreciate you all.
26:59Really spectacular.
27:01I feel a huge sigh of relief.
27:03Everything seemed to be
27:04pretty well on point.
27:06I think we can clench this, guys.
27:08Yes, I hope so.
27:08Absolutely.
27:10Giancarlo's,
27:10good to see you again.
27:11My Snow Day theme
27:13was coloring.
27:15This dessert
27:16is something
27:16I picture on my future.
27:19I want to build
27:20a family with my husband,
27:22and this is
27:23how I saw
27:24my little boy
27:25in the indoor
27:27Snow Day.
27:28It's reading nice,
27:30but I think
27:31it just needs
27:32to be
27:33a little
27:33neater.
27:36I think it looks good.
27:38I don't agree.
27:42Duff.
27:42Oh, there it goes.
27:44Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:46No!
27:48Oh!
27:51Listen, Giancarlo's,
27:52I think that
27:53that's a wrong dessert
27:54to decorate this much, okay?
27:56You've got a Christmas tree
27:58on there.
27:58It's falling over, right?
27:59So the entremé
28:00cannot hold
28:01that kind of weight.
28:02Things are melting.
28:03You've got to clean that up.
28:04I would have picked
28:05a different dessert.
28:06That makes sense,
28:07and now
28:08I need the judges
28:09like my flavors.
28:11Ooh.
28:11Ooh.
28:12Ooh.
28:14My dessert
28:15is
28:16has an apriline mousse,
28:18a chocolate sponge,
28:20and apriline creme mousse.
28:22You know,
28:24the textures on this
28:25are really nice.
28:26You know,
28:26your mousse is beautiful
28:27and light
28:28and airy
28:29and not super heavy,
28:30which is great.
28:31Problem is,
28:32you kind of piled up
28:33all those hazelnuts
28:34on top of each other.
28:35All I'm getting
28:36is hazelnut.
28:38Nance.
28:39I loved it.
28:40I loved every one
28:41of those hazelnuts.
28:45Come on.
28:46Giancarlo,
28:47thank you.
28:48Thank you,
28:48guys, so much.
28:49Thank you, Giancarlo.
28:49Muito obrigado.
28:49Bye-bye.
28:50Today, for me,
28:52it was like
28:52I'm trouble.
28:55Hello, Kamri.
28:57What was your snow day activity?
28:58Building a snowman.
28:59You know, the kids,
29:01they were having a blast
29:01outside building their snowman.
29:03And kids,
29:05come on,
29:06it's time for lunch.
29:07So they come in
29:07for some hot cocoa.
29:08They unfortunately
29:09leave the snowman
29:10for building later.
29:12Duff, you took the glasses off.
29:14Yeah.
29:14Yeah.
29:15You know,
29:15I did, like,
29:16when I first saw it,
29:16I was like,
29:17oh, he's missing an eye.
29:18I didn't know
29:18if it might have been
29:19a pirate.
29:20Yeah.
29:21Snowman.
29:22No.
29:22I feel like
29:24without your story,
29:25I wasn't really sure
29:26what was going on.
29:27Okay.
29:28And you got some people
29:30in here
29:30that can really decorate.
29:32This is,
29:33this is okay.
29:34I know you have it in you.
29:36Like,
29:36I need you to lock in
29:37on that.
29:38Yes, ma'am.
29:39Do you feel like
29:40the judges
29:40are getting more
29:41new?
29:42Getting more
29:43tough
29:44with the critiques.
29:46So it is
29:47a spice cake
29:48with a maple
29:49mousseline
29:50and then a raspberry
29:51ginger jelly
29:52on the top.
29:54Maple?
29:55Yeah.
29:56No maple.
29:57Okay.
29:58I get ginger.
30:00I get raspberry.
30:01I get those flavors.
30:03I think the cake
30:03itself
30:04is a little dry.
30:06Ooh.
30:08It's just,
30:08it's a little chewy.
30:09Too chewy
30:10for a cake.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Okay, Kamri,
30:12thank you.
30:14You know,
30:15I don't really know
30:15how to feel
30:16other than,
30:17like,
30:17to hang.
30:18Well.
30:19Come here.
30:20Come here.
30:21I'm really hoping
30:22that some miracle
30:23happens.
30:24Anything can happen.
30:25I don't think
30:26we can,
30:27we can,
30:28we can see the clip,
30:29but we don't
30:29got to jump off it,
30:30you know?
30:30All we need
30:31is one of us to win.
30:32I think
30:32we could take this still.
30:34Yeah.
30:35Yeah.
30:40There's so many
30:41of us know.
30:42I know.
30:43Judges,
30:43Snow Day desserts
30:44from the Naughty team.
30:46Alex.
30:47Good luck, girl.
30:48You're for me, Alex.
30:49Nervous to go up
30:50for judging
30:50because this is
30:51my first judging
30:52with Team Naughty,
30:53so it'll be interesting
30:55to see how I stack up.
30:58What?
30:59What is,
30:59what is going on?
31:02Traitor.
31:03No,
31:03I was taken in the night.
31:04Benedict Arnold.
31:05I was taken.
31:07They kidnapped you.
31:08They took me
31:09from my home
31:10and they put me
31:11over there.
31:12Oh.
31:13Look how much
31:14happier you are.
31:15You love it over there.
31:18So my theme
31:19was building
31:20a fort,
31:21an indoor fort,
31:23but to make it naughty,
31:24I have a spirit board.
31:27So our little gingerbread folks
31:29in here
31:29have seemed to have
31:31someone,
31:31doesn't quite look
31:32like Santa,
31:33but if you rearrange
31:34the letters in Santa,
31:35it spells something else.
31:36It's Satan.
31:37I love your fort.
31:42I love your blanket.
31:43It has so much movement.
31:45It's fun.
31:46Technically,
31:47the fondant,
31:48you know,
31:48could be cleaned up
31:49a little bit.
31:50Absolutely.
31:51But it is very naughty.
31:53Very, very naughty.
31:55Oh.
31:57Okay.
31:58Uh-oh.
31:59We've got a brownie off.
32:02So I made
32:03a triple chocolate
32:05caramel crunch brownie.
32:07I feel good
32:07about this one.
32:09It looks so good.
32:12Delicious brownie.
32:14I love the caramel.
32:16There's too much.
32:17It's really thick.
32:18That chocolate flavor
32:20was so rich
32:21and so much depth.
32:24My piece is very under
32:26because it's just,
32:27it's still batter.
32:28Oh, I'm so sorry.
32:29Uh-oh.
32:31Yeah.
32:32I don't know
32:33if I got a centerpiece
32:34or...
32:34Yeah, I came a little bit
32:36closer on the inside for it.
32:38So the batter's raw.
32:40It just didn't bake evenly.
32:41Right.
32:43All right, Alex.
32:44Thanks, Alex.
32:44Thank you, Alex.
32:47Sucks.
32:48Really sucks.
32:50Niko, welcome.
32:52My snow day activity
32:53was sledding.
32:55You know,
32:55other families have
32:56apple pie,
32:56pumpkin pie,
32:58yule logs.
32:58For my family,
33:00bakkava is our
33:01quintessential holiday dessert.
33:03Okay.
33:05Elephant in the room.
33:06It's...
33:07Why is there a volcano?
33:08It's...
33:09Because it's naughty sledding.
33:10I was like,
33:11what's the naughtiest
33:11kind of sledding you could do?
33:13Sledding down
33:13erupting lava.
33:17Niko,
33:18I just want to get
33:19like a lawn chair
33:20and park it in your brain
33:22and just...
33:23It's a scary place up there.
33:24I don't know if you want that.
33:25No, you don't.
33:26I do,
33:30because this is pure entertainment.
33:32Is judging always
33:33this funny with you guys?
33:34Oh, 100%.
33:34It is so good.
33:35The naughty theme is so good.
33:36The naughty theme
33:37is just the best.
33:38Niko, I love it
33:39because it's so unique
33:40and it's truly naughty.
33:42And I mean,
33:43with all that fire
33:44and great color
33:46and I get sledding.
33:47So I made
33:50a spiced baklava
33:52and a pistachio
33:54and tahini
33:55rice cereal treat volcano
33:57with a raspberry
33:59and rose lava.
34:02For me,
34:03I think there should be
34:05a little bit more
34:05of your soaking syrup.
34:07I like my baklava
34:07a little sticky.
34:09I think the flavor's great.
34:10I love that big punch
34:11of cinnamon.
34:12It's just falling apart
34:13a little bit.
34:14You're a cereal treat.
34:15You made these cereal treats.
34:16Yes, I did.
34:16It's really good.
34:17Thank you, Niko.
34:18Thanks, Niko.
34:21All right,
34:21let's say hi to Ashley.
34:23I'm about to face the judges
34:24and I think for the first time
34:26I feel pretty dang confident
34:27in this competition.
34:29So I had playing board games.
34:31So I made not sorry for you
34:35because I'm never sorry
34:36when I win.
34:39I like your style, girl.
34:42You know what I like about this?
34:43It looks like the whole family
34:44got involved.
34:45You know what I mean?
34:46And like that's what you do
34:46when you're playing board games.
34:48It screams naughty board game.
34:50Not sorry.
34:52You definitely nailed
34:53the theme of board games.
34:57Oh, oh my goodness.
35:00Dang.
35:01Jeez.
35:02I made a cherry almond bar
35:05with cream cheese frosting
35:06and a almond sugar cookie.
35:08Ashley, your cherry filling
35:11has a ton of almond extract
35:14almost to the point
35:15where it becomes
35:16like a chemical taste to it.
35:19Ooh.
35:21Okay.
35:21I think the brandy
35:23is one of the things
35:24that's enhancing
35:24the almond extract.
35:26Okay.
35:27Like, it's just not a bar
35:29to me.
35:30Like, a bar,
35:31they're definitely
35:32a little more moist.
35:33Like, this is really
35:34like a delicious pound cake.
35:37I don't care what you call it.
35:38It's delicious.
35:40Yeah.
35:41Yeah, tell them.
35:42Yes.
35:43Thanks, Ashley.
35:43Thank you, Ashley.
35:44You know,
35:46it kind of tastes
35:46like cough syrup.
35:48I do love almonds,
35:49so I did like it,
35:51but it's not a bar.
35:52You like the brandy.
35:54Well, that too.
35:57Tarek, welcome.
35:58All right.
35:59Tell us what you made.
36:00So, my snow day activity
36:01was snowshoeing,
36:03but the only experience
36:05I've ever had
36:06with snowshoeing
36:06was when I lived
36:07in Saudi Arabia
36:08in the middle of
36:09Lake Riyadh
36:10in a desert.
36:11So, it's like a holiday
36:12in the Middle East.
36:13I was kind of
36:13leaning naughty
36:14with like the gingerbread man
36:15like making his camel
36:17snowshoe with him
36:17because, you know,
36:18camels don't snowshoe.
36:20Doesn't, for me,
36:21read snowshoeing
36:22right off the bat,
36:24but I love
36:25that personal touch
36:26with adding
36:26this is what snowshoeing
36:28looks like for you
36:29and when you did it,
36:30I get it now
36:30that you've explained it.
36:31Okay.
36:32Let's give it a try, Tarek.
36:35Ooh.
36:36Oh, it's a two tier.
36:38So, this is a carrot cake
36:39with rum raisin
36:40and a cream cheese frosting.
36:42Good morning.
36:44Tarek, this is fabulous.
36:48Fabulous.
36:48This is so tasty.
36:50Okay.
36:51It's so moist.
36:53The raisins are perfect.
36:55Hint of rum,
36:56not too much.
36:57Yeah, it's a good cake.
36:58Your cream cheese frosting
36:59is delicious.
37:00I think the sand on top
37:02is actually a really nice touch.
37:03You know, adds a little crunch.
37:05All right, Tarek.
37:07Thank you, Tarek.
37:09All right, let's welcome in Charles.
37:12Going last
37:13and hearing some of the critical feedback
37:15of my whole team
37:16has definitely made me nervous.
37:19My snow day activity
37:20was cutting out paper snowflakes.
37:22I did a vanilla entremet.
37:26I decorated it
37:26with a little kind of homage
37:28to my childhood self.
37:30I loved arts and crafts as a kid,
37:32and so sometimes I got a little too excited
37:34and ran with the scissors.
37:37Running with scissors
37:38is definitely naughty
37:39as a former preschool teacher
37:41and kindergarten teacher.
37:43It could hurt someone.
37:43I think this is really fun,
37:49but I think your entremet,
37:51your mirror glaze
37:52is a little wonky.
37:53I like your color choices.
37:56I think that really, really light
37:57kind of icy blue,
37:58all those snowflakes on there.
38:00And it clearly says
38:02that this is paper cut out snowflakes.
38:06I love it.
38:07Hey.
38:08Yeah.
38:10I did a vanilla entremet.
38:13It has a rice cereal crunch,
38:16a vanilla cremeau,
38:17a vanilla genois,
38:18and then a vanilla mousse.
38:21Charles, you have made
38:23this vanilla absolutely sing, man.
38:26I mean, really brought out that flavor.
38:29You get the complexity.
38:31You get the nuance of the vanilla.
38:33It's just floral.
38:34I feel like I'm in a field somewhere.
38:36It's beautiful.
38:36Flavors, your best yet.
38:39Keep this up.
38:40I'm going to eat this whole thing.
38:44It brings tears to my eyes.
38:47It's just like Grammy Carl's pastry cream.
38:51I mean, I can't begin to tell you.
38:57Nancy's really crying.
39:03Oh, really good.
39:06It takes, like, a dessert on another level
39:08to make someone react like that.
39:11Thank you, Charles.
39:12Nice job.
39:13I feel proud of what I made
39:15and excited to hopefully finally break
39:18the second-place curse.
39:20Break it.
39:21And also help my team
39:25continue on in this competition.
39:27Goodness gracious.
39:29So close so many times.
39:30Yeah.
39:31We'll see.
39:31We'll see.
39:33Bakers, it was very interesting
39:35watching the new team configurations
39:37play out in this bake,
39:38and two of your snow day desserts
39:40just thrilled the judges.
39:42The top dessert from the naughty team
39:44came from...
39:47Charles!
39:50And from the nice team,
39:52the best dessert was made by...
39:56Chase.
39:58In the end,
39:59only one baker can rule this snow day.
40:02And that baker is...
40:05Charles!
40:06Oh, thank you, Charles.
40:08Thank you, Charles.
40:09You finally broke through.
40:12Congratulations!
40:13You did it.
40:14Your vanilla entremet was simply divine,
40:17and the snowflake theme came through clearly.
40:21Never run with scissors.
40:24All right.
40:25That verdict means that Team Nice,
40:28you're going to be losing another baker.
40:30Because you had the top dessert from your team,
40:33Chase, you are safe.
40:34Thank you, Chetches.
40:35That, of course, leaves Giancarlos.
40:36And Camry,
40:37please step forward, you two.
40:40Camry,
40:41your spice cake had texture issues,
40:44and your decorating looked unfinished.
40:48Giancarlos,
40:49there was way too much hazelnut
40:51in your entremet,
40:52and your tree was falling over,
40:54and overall,
40:55it was just really sloppy.
40:57I don't know.
40:57Maybe it was the snow on the ground,
40:59but you both really slipped up today.
41:01And unfortunately,
41:02the baker leaving us is...
41:07Camry.
41:09Camry, I am so sorry.
41:11We really enjoyed having you here.
41:14You could take a moment,
41:15you could say your goodbyes,
41:16and exit the kitchen.
41:17I'm proud to have even gotten here
41:21in the first place,
41:22so that's like a big win in my book.
41:24And to have held on as long as I have,
41:27like,
41:28it's a pretty good feeling.
41:29All right, bye, y'all.
41:30Love you, Camry.
41:31Do great.
41:33Rock it.
41:34Thank you, Camry.
41:36Next time,
41:38Chris Mika celebration
41:39like never before
41:40in the Holiday Village.
41:41Repeat after me.
41:42Rogalach.
41:43You have to make a real nasty throat noise.
41:46Beautiful work.
41:48I think it's the best donut on the table.
41:50And there's a major shocker.
41:52Please don't.
41:53I was not expecting that.
41:55That's a problem.
