00:01Next on MasterChef.
00:03Your time is done inside MasterChef.
00:05With two more cooks out of the competition,
00:08the remaining 12 are about to be split into opposing teams.
00:13Come on, guys, blue team, let's go.
00:15There must be 150 Marines in that queue.
00:19For a challenge on a scale they've never known.
00:22Oh, my God.
00:23From the bottom of all of our hearts, we apologize.
00:27The team who loses will face an elimination taste test,
00:31where one more contestant's dream
00:33of becoming America's first MasterChef
00:36will come to a bitter end.
00:53The remaining 12 contestants are about to face
00:57their first MasterChef field challenge.
01:00Yeah!
01:06Oh, my God.
01:08Woo!
01:14Can we put our hands in the air?
01:16I mean, like...
01:18Oh, my God.
01:19Look at that.
01:21Look at that.
01:23Look at that.
01:23You didn't know what to do, man.
01:24Our amateur home cooks have been brought to a U.S. Marine base,
01:28where, for the first time,
01:30they will have to cook for more than just the judges.
01:35What's going on here?
01:44Woo!
01:45Oh, God.
01:46Oh, no!
01:49Hooray!
01:52Oh, my God!
01:56Welcome to Camp Pendleton.
01:58Woo!
02:00Yeah!
02:01With me is a man who knows this place inside out.
02:05Please say good morning to Colonel Murano.
02:08Sir.
02:08Good morning, sir.
02:09All right.
02:10The people here have many duties,
02:13but one thing that they all share in common
02:15is they all have to eat.
02:17We go through 778,000 pounds of meat and poultry products
02:23and over 200,000 pounds of vegetables every month.
02:28Wow.
02:28Wow.
02:29Today, all of you are cooking one entree.
02:33Alongside that, you'll be cooking two sides
02:36and then finishing with the most amazing dessert.
02:40Got it.
02:41Got it.
02:42Now, all of you will be cooking this for 400 Marines
02:47and their families at 1,500 hours.
02:50Wow.
02:51I was like, no way.
02:53I can't cook for four.
02:54I've never cooked for more than 20 people.
02:56I was like, we are .
02:59We're going to split into two teams.
03:01And for the first time, you will go head-to-head
03:04as a team challenge.
03:05The winning team will advance to the next stage.
03:07The losing team will face a pressure test.
03:09And on the back of that pressure test,
03:11there will be an elimination.
03:14This one is really dear to my heart, guys.
03:17My dad served in the Navy for 32 years.
03:19So make this one count.
03:21Yeah.
03:22David Miller, did you realize we're
03:24coming to US Marine Base today with that top on?
03:26Uh, no, sir. I did not.
03:28I think someone's going to beat the out of you in a minute.
03:32Right.
03:34Mike, you won yesterday's Chinese invention test.
03:39Yes?
03:39Whoo!
03:40Now, today, you're going to pick your team
03:43that becomes Team Blue.
03:45First choice, who's it going to be?
03:50I'm thinking, okay, well, you know what?
03:52Mike's going to look at me and say, all right,
03:53I want this guy on my team.
03:55So I'm feeling pretty good.
03:57Jake.
03:57Come on up here, buddy.
03:58Jake.
03:58Stand over, buddy.
04:00Jake.
04:01And he, you know, calls Jake.
04:04Lee, why don't you come over here, bro?
04:06Yeah.
04:06Lee?
04:07Excellent.
04:08I got to pick my baby, Tracy.
04:10Come here, sweetie.
04:11Tracy, let's go.
04:13Tony, come here, buddy.
04:14Tony, let's go.
04:16And then so on and so on.
04:17And that's just pumping me up.
04:19I'm like, all right, man, it's on.
04:20Shital, come here.
04:21Shital.
04:22Nice.
04:23Great.
04:24I love it.
04:25Leave me with what we have.
04:27Let's take the leftover team,
04:28and we're going to kick your ass.
04:31Clearly, Team Red by default.
04:34It definitely drove us.
04:35I mean, it was like, you feel like you scrapped.
04:37You're like, all right, you know, I'm the last pick.
04:40Okay, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to show you.
04:41Just put our hearts on this plate.
04:43Let's do everything we can.
04:44We'll do this.
04:45Today, everything is on the line.
04:48The team that loses has to go into a pressure challenge
04:51the next day.
04:52That meant somebody was going home,
04:54and I didn't want that to be me.
04:56Mike has picked his blue dream team of Jake, Lee, Tony, Tracy,
05:02and Shital, while Sharon, David, Whitney, Jenna, Farouk,
05:07and Slim become the underdog red team.
05:11Get your game face on.
05:13One stunning entree, two sides, one stunning dessert.
05:16They'll be arriving at 1,500 hours.
05:18You do not keep these Marines waiting.
05:21Is that clear?
05:22Yes, Chef.
05:23Your time starts now.
05:24Off you go.
05:25Let's go, guys. Let's go.
05:26In this field challenge, the judges will decide which team wins
05:30based on their food, team performance in the commercial
05:33kitchen, and feedback from the Marines.
05:36Pantry produce. Check the pantry out.
05:38Walking through the kitchen, I got my game face on.
05:41I got no time to be like, oh, wow.
05:43Real live commercial kitchen.
05:45I say we go with the steak.
05:46I got a phenomenal recipe for the best barbecue sauce glaze
05:49you'll ever have in your life.
05:50All right, there we go.
05:51Immediately, Sharon steps up to fill an empty leadership
05:54role on the red team.
05:56We still need another slide.
05:57We got tons of potatoes.
05:58That's so good.
05:59That's so boring.
06:01I know.
06:01Okay, so let's think.
06:02Tell me. Talk to me.
06:03Potatoes au grat.
06:04With bacon.
06:05Do you know how to make it?
06:05Yeah, sure.
06:06Okay, there we go.
06:08Instantaneously, Sharon takes charge.
06:10Get the mild cheddar and get the Monterey Jack too.
06:12Uh-huh.
06:13So we're sitting down.
06:14We're planning it out.
06:14It actually seems to be working.
06:16This is really important before we even get into the food.
06:18We all got different styles.
06:20Most importantly, let's communicate with each other.
06:22Immediately, we're like all of us.
06:24You could feel the electricity just pulsating.
06:26At the same time, there was a bit of fear because I've never cooked
06:29for that many people in my life.
06:30Like, can we do this?
06:31Do a stuffed pork loin then?
06:33What do you feel most confident, brother?
06:35You know, I want you to be in your, you know.
06:36I'm fine with that, dude.
06:37We just got to get at it.
06:38We got to get them going.
06:39Get them butterflied and stuff them.
06:40All right, I got this killer stuffed pork loin.
06:42You know, we got to make a lot of it.
06:44I'm confident if we all team up, you know, we could bust it out.
06:51Mike, what is actually on the menu?
06:53What have you decided to do?
06:54Sort of like a stuffed loin.
06:55Sure.
06:55What are the side dishes?
06:57Like a roasted corn sort of salad.
06:59Right.
06:59We've got a scallop potatoes.
07:01Scallop potatoes, like a grass and dough for a while?
07:02Yes.
07:02OK.
07:03Dessert, what's the dessert?
07:04It's going to be puff pastry layered with some cream.
07:07Puff pastry with cream?
07:08These are marines, yeah?
07:10Yeah.
07:10I don't think they do much puff pastry.
07:13Talk about the menu, please.
07:14What is it?
07:15I've got some marinated skirt steak that we're going to glaze
07:18with a sweet, spicy, and smoky barbecue sauce.
07:21Uh-huh.
07:21Scallop potatoes with yummy bacon, crispy bacon.
07:24Second side, what is it?
07:25We're doing simple roasted vegetables with fresh herbs.
07:29While the red team starts on an apple turnover dessert,
07:33over on the blue team, Mike's leadership is in question.
07:37Mike?
07:38Yes, sir?
07:38You're not listening to me, my friend.
07:40I told you, I don't want that parsley.
07:42I want flat leaf parsley.
07:43I don't think they have it, bro.
07:45How come you pulled that one out?
07:46On the left?
07:46I didn't pull it.
07:48I found out pretty quickly that Mike didn't really have the leadership stuff because he is so frantic.
07:55You want this?
07:56Yeah.
07:57It's going to cover all of it?
07:57That's flat leaf parsley.
07:58Is that all you got?
07:59This is going to cover all of them?
08:00It's a good start.
08:00Is that all?
08:01It's a good start.
08:02I have a very kind of, I don't know if you'd call it enthusiastic or intense or passionate or just
08:07crazy.
08:09Whatever it is, it is what it is.
08:10How many of the apples do you need to slice?
08:11You're stressing me out, man.
08:12How many of these apples do you need to slice?
08:13Just slice them all.
08:14Okay.
08:15Mike's over there just frantic.
08:17He's just like, dude, what do you want me to do?
08:17What do you want me to do?
08:18What do you want me to do?
08:18And I'm just like, well, okay.
08:20All right.
08:21Mike, I need you to take a breath and slow down in your head.
08:23You slow down in your head, you go faster on the table.
08:25What am I doing, bro?
08:26I'm helping you out.
08:27You're stressing people out around you is what you're doing.
08:28I'm helping you out.
08:29I have no problem being a subordinate as long as the person that's directly above me has got their headgear
08:34cleaned out and together, you know?
08:36You cutting them all down, brother?
08:37Why?
08:38Okay.
08:38You sure?
08:39I'm just asking.
08:40I'm just asking.
08:40I don't know.
08:41Let's just start over.
08:41Okay.
08:42All right, look.
08:43Keep it positive.
08:43Keep it positive.
08:44Keep it positive.
08:45I didn't know.
08:45I didn't know you did like that.
08:46Looking at what Jake was doing when he was cutting down the fat, I was real worried that the pork
08:50was going to be coming out dry.
08:51I'm sure flavor might have been cool, but I'm thinking, dude, it's going to come out dry.
08:55You with me?
08:56I got you.
08:56Dude, I'm supposed to be team leader.
08:58It's my responsibility.
08:59I had the privilege of choosing a team, so I definitely felt the burden.
09:03The burden of responsibility is going to be on me.
09:05With the power struggle emerging, can the blue team pull together or will a fight over the wheels steer them
09:12into the rocks?
09:18How do you want the parts?
09:19Looking at what Jake was doing when he was cutting down the fat, I was real worried that the pork
09:23was going to be coming out dry.
09:25As a team leader, I cannot let this happen and just do nothing.
09:28Not only is blue team captain Mike convinced that Jake's pork is going to end up dry, he also fears
09:36they won't have enough to feed the 400 marines and their families.
09:40I thought, okay, I've got to create some insurance.
09:42Okay.
09:43Okay.
09:43Luckily, I go on the fridge, I see pork loins left, and I'm thinking, thank you, God, thank you.
09:48I trust Jake and his thing, but I think that, you know, because I'm the captain and, you know, I
09:52don't want to change what he's doing, we're going to do pork two ways.
09:54I'm going to do a very simple pork loin with some bacon, some garlic, and some rosemary in there as
09:59well.
10:01And it looks like Mike's fear over Jake's pork loins is about to be confirmed.
10:06Uh, Jake, what are you doing there?
10:08Tripping off the silver skin and the excessive fat.
10:11Yeah, that's not there for a reason.
10:12Okay.
10:13It's a loin, so it's lean.
10:15I felt really good that I had cooked those three extra loins.
10:19So taking that much fat off there, you've got every chance of drying that meat out.
10:22Absolutely, absolutely.
10:23So just think about it.
10:25Very good.
10:25Will do.
10:26You're jeopardizing.
10:27Yeah.
10:28Don't want to let these guys down.
10:29The possibility is big time there, okay?
10:30Okay.
10:31Yeah?
10:31Thank you, chef.
10:33This is flat on perfect for grass ham.
10:35Let's do it.
10:35I'm going to be careful.
10:36I'm going to be careful.
10:37All right, big boy, you're taking the meat to the grill, huh?
10:39How are you going to make sure these things stay medium rare?
10:41What are you going to just mark them?
10:42I'm literally just searing them off, and then I'm going to keep them, let them cook down.
10:47Because, you know, these things aren't that thick.
10:48These things are going to be cooked through right away.
10:50I know.
10:50Be careful.
10:51The red team, under Sharon's leadership, is coming together, no?
10:54Yeah, I really thought that, you know, Sharon is trying his hardest to make that team work,
10:58not just himself.
10:58I think that the blue team seems very scattered, you know?
11:02You've got Mike sitting in a corner doing pork one way.
11:04Jake's doing pork his style, but have no real game plan.
11:07I'm very worried about that.
11:09I'm also worried, no one's talked about portions.
11:11Right.
11:11They're making, like, mounds and mounds of meat, potatoes.
11:13We haven't talked about, what does 400 portions of food mean?
11:16Yeah, I mean, you're cooking for Marines, and these guys can hack away some food.
11:21Hey, David, what are you doing?
11:22Uh, sauteing some bacon for a potato session.
11:24Look at me, turn the heat up.
11:26Yeah, get the bacon nice and crispy.
11:28You're dressed like a waiter, yeah?
11:29I want you to cook like a cook.
11:30Come on.
11:31Sure.
11:31Get in the game.
11:32Let's go.
11:36Oh, my God.
11:39What a nightmare.
11:46Once I had all the grease that, I'd forgotten the bacon was sitting at the side of the tilt
11:50pan.
11:50So when you go to roll it back up, it shakes a little bit.
11:54And I lost about five pounds of cooked bacon.
11:56Oh, by the way, it's cooked perfectly.
12:01I'm feeling like we're pretty, pretty behind.
12:03So we got a problem, yes?
12:05Just over half an hour to go.
12:08Just touch that there.
12:09Chef Ramsay pulls out the pork loins, and they're undercooked.
12:12I was just stressing big time about that.
12:16Don't panic.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Yeah, 35 minutes to go, but that is raw.
12:21We cannot start panicking, but you've got to listen to me.
12:24If you take one off each tray.
12:25Sure.
12:25The oven's up to max.
12:27Okay.
12:27And get them cooking.
12:28They're boiling, okay?
12:29Okay.
12:29One of you, take control.
12:31Talk about pressure, you know.
12:32We win as a team, we lose as a team, but I was the guy that was responsible for the
12:35pork.
12:36I was definitely concerned that this thing might not work out.
12:39Meanwhile, on the red team, Sharon is fast questioning whether Farouk has prepared enough
12:44vegetables for their dish.
12:46Oh, man, I don't know if that's enough, Farouk.
12:48This is 200 people we're doing.
12:52Sharon, he's looking at me, he's like, I don't think it's going to be enough vegetables.
12:55I'm like, dude, it's going to be fine.
12:56Let's just get it done.
12:57Farouk, are we good?
12:58Yeah.
12:58I look at the guys and I'm asking, how many pans of these potatoes are we going to be
13:02serving?
13:03And they say three.
13:04And in my head, immediately, I'm taking back that.
13:07That's not enough.
13:10Dude, that's not enough.
13:11We got 200 to 300 people we're feeding, and we got three?
13:16That's not going to work.
13:17Two, three.
13:19Five feet in between each table.
13:21My main concern right now is not having enough.
13:25We do not know the scale of this operation.
13:29We don't know what we're going to need.
13:32And other than the fact that we see a mountain of food in front of us,
13:35I have no idea if that's going to be able to feed everybody.
13:40Ten minutes left, guys.
13:42Everything inside the hot boxes, then we're heading to the beach where the Marines are
13:45waiting.
13:46Come on, guys.
13:47Blue team, let's go.
13:47The last ten minutes in the kitchen was total mayhem.
13:50We got to put it in.
13:52We need to put those in the cool box.
13:53The clock's totally running down.
13:54We're running around the kitchen trying to get all the loins out, get them wrapped.
13:58Eight minutes, guys.
13:59Come on, let's get this wrapped.
14:00Turn everything off.
14:01People are saran wrapped, foil, in the hot box, in the cooler.
14:05Blue team, red team, five minutes to go.
14:07Nothing would suck more than cooking this food for three hours and forgetting the equipment
14:12necessary to serve it to people.
14:14Let's do this.
14:14Come on.
14:15What else?
14:15What else?
14:16Three minutes to go.
14:17Three minutes, guys.
14:19Three minutes.
14:19Blue team.
14:20You've still got food in the ovens.
14:22Lee, puff pastry, is this yours?
14:23I'll get it.
14:24I'll get it.
14:24I'll get it.
14:25Come on, come on, Tracy.
14:25Come on, baby.
14:26Who's got food in the ovens?
14:28No one.
14:28Mike, Mike, no one.
14:29Come on, you can take it fast.
14:31Two minutes to go.
14:31We were just barely getting the last of the apple crisps out of the oven.
14:36Give me towels, towels.
14:37Nine.
14:38Gordon counts down.
14:39Ten.
14:40Nine.
14:41Eight.
14:42Seven.
14:43Six.
14:44Five.
14:45What else?
14:45Four.
14:46Whitney comes over with the last pin.
14:48I slam it in there.
14:50Two.
14:50Two.
14:51I'm like, oh, my God.
14:52We actually did this.
14:54One.
14:55And stop.
14:56Good job, guys.
14:57Good job.
14:59Out of control.
15:00Good job.
15:01Fantastic job.
15:02Good job.
15:03Blue team.
15:03Red team.
15:04It's not over yet.
15:05We've got to get to the beach.
15:05Let's go.
15:06Let's go, go, go, go.
15:07Let's go.
15:17The Marines and their families are ready, willing, and hungry.
15:21But the sheer number of mouths lining up to be fed leaves both teams praying they haven't
15:27miscalculated the number of portions.
15:32Friends and families, this is MasterChef.
15:41We are incredibly honored to cook for you all here today.
15:47Yeah!
15:48Yeah!
15:50Are you guys hungry?
15:52Yeah!
15:54Okay, blue team, red team, off you go.
15:56Marines, distinguished guests, please come forward, have a read of the menu, and the
16:01choices are yours.
16:02Yeah!
16:06Welcome to the blue team.
16:08The blue team has stuffed pork loin with creamy scalloped potatoes and corn salad, followed
16:14by a berry Napoleon.
16:15All right, you enjoy that, okay?
16:17Thank you so much.
16:19Thanks for choosing red!
16:21Team red are offering barbecue beef, potatoes gratin, and roasted vegetables, with apple turnover
16:27for dessert.
16:28Don't be shy to ask for more beef if you want.
16:30You're welcome.
16:31In addition to all over performance, the judges will use feedback from the Marines to help
16:37them decide which team will win the challenge.
16:40I'm going to go with the skirt steak.
16:44Oh my gosh, like we were blowing away the blue team.
16:47And I was like, you know what, the red team definitely has this in the bag.
16:51How was the beef?
16:52Really good, barbecue sauce.
16:53I love it.
16:54How is it?
16:55Good.
16:55Very good.
16:56Happy with the choice?
16:57Yes?
16:57So many people came to us for our food because we chose, you know, we chose a menu that they
17:02all like and they gravitated to.
17:04Slim, I'm going to need potatoes at about eight to nine people.
17:07As the Marines devour the culinary delights, two things become clear.
17:12I'm going to need more veggies here in just a minute.
17:14The red team's barbecue steak is a runaway success, but they're running dangerously low
17:20on the sauteed vegetables and potato gratin side dishes.
17:23We need more veggies, Slim.
17:25Don't want to run out of stuff, guys.
17:27Someone should get in that hot box and make sure you got enough food to feed all these
17:30people.
17:31We got one pan of potatoes there.
17:33We've got one tray of veggies.
17:36I'm looking at the hot box.
17:38I'm like, uh, guys, we've got one tray of potatoes and one tray of vegetables left.
17:44We have one pan of potatoes left.
17:45We only have one pan of veggies left.
17:47Yeah, it's not looking real good at this point.
17:50The queue is getting longer.
17:53This is it.
17:54I know.
17:54This is all we have left.
17:55It is what it is.
17:56Slowly but surely, the veggies are disappearing and we all have the moment of .
18:04Have we got any more veggies?
18:06That's the last tray of vegetables.
18:08We are officially out of veggies.
18:12Sorry about that.
18:13Last portion of the potatoes right here.
18:14These men and women, they deserve this meal that we were giving to them.
18:17And we had the one job of just feeding them, making sure they were happy.
18:21And we were failing.
18:23Reti, embarrassingly, running out of vegetables.
18:25How many trays?
18:26Three trays of potatoes.
18:27Three trays of vegetables.
18:28That's crazy.
18:29I mean, there must be 150 Marines in that queue.
18:32Yeah.
18:33Yeah.
18:47Yeah.
19:02Someone's going to have to break the news to them.
19:04It's not going to be me.
19:05Marines.
19:06We know a lot of you are getting ready to get shipped off on tours of duty.
19:09All we wanted to do was come out here and cook for you.
19:12We ran out of veggies.
19:13We ran out of potatoes.
19:14And again, from the bottom of all of our hearts here on the Red Team, we apologize.
19:19And we hope that you'll accept our apology.
19:21Come on up.
19:23Come on up.
19:23We got plenty of food, we all.
19:26We hear that basically the Red Team has run out of food.
19:29And I'm looking at what we have left, and I'm like, we're golden.
19:33I felt really good that I cooked those extra loins.
19:36I felt really good about that, for sure.
19:38We were in the red one before.
19:39We were in the red line, but we moved over here because they ran out of potatoes.
19:43I got it.
19:43I got it.
19:44All we got left was beef and apple pie, and they were still loving it.
19:48Pieces of dessert.
19:49And Marines, we got double steak and double pie.
19:51And that line did not go anywhere.
19:53They kept coming, kept coming.
19:55You know, you really can't pass up an opportunity for steak and barbecue sauce.
19:58I got to hop on it while I can.
20:00I told him I like steak, and he's like, you know what?
20:02I'm going to give you a fat one.
20:03I'm like, I'm good to go.
20:05Time to go eat.
20:06Oh, wow.
20:07Hey, man.
20:07Hey, appreciate it.
20:11With the troops fed, the judges convened to decide which team performed better in the
20:16field challenge.
20:18The losing team will face a pressure test, where one contestant will be eliminated from
20:24MasterChef.
20:24This is too close to court.
20:26Very difficult.
20:26Blue team didn't run out of anything.
20:28Right.
20:28They had plenty of veg, plenty of potatoes, and the pork was the only weak link in the chain.
20:34Pork wasn't as good as the beef in the red team.
20:35Quite frankly, the red team executed a perfect steak with perfect sauce.
20:39I mean, it was probably one of the best things we had.
20:41Yeah.
20:41The food was amazing.
20:42It was delicious.
20:43If they had enough, no question.
20:46You know, these guys came here to eat.
20:48If you think you're going to feed 500 of America's finest marines with three pans and potatoes,
20:52I think you're making a big misjudgment.
20:54And listen, at the end of the day, you want to be a master chef.
20:57You have to be able to gauge portions.
20:58Yeah.
20:59On a technical aspect, the red team really didn't accomplish what they were supposed to accomplish,
21:03which is to feed those people.
21:05Tough.
21:05And for me, it's...
21:0849, 51.
21:09Yeah.
21:09Very close.
21:17Marines, were you happy with the food?
21:19Yeah!
21:20All right, blue team, rib team, please come down.
21:28I feel like, you know, I could go either way at this point, but I feel like the blue team
21:33earned it and deserved it because we did not run out of food.
21:38Blue team got off to a difficult start.
21:42However, you found your stride.
21:44The food was phenomenal.
21:45Well done.
21:46Really well done.
21:50Red team, you must have made the most delicious barbecue sauce ever made in Camp Pendleton.
21:57Well done.
21:59Tremendous teamwork.
22:01And more importantly, delicious food.
22:04It was a very, very close contest.
22:07Joe, Graham, and myself have watched the teamwork, the coordination, the passion,
22:12and what you did to those ingredients.
22:15And the winning team of this unique challenge.
22:20Congratulations goes to...
22:30The blue team!
22:37I just yelled like a crazy woman, okay?
22:40I mean, it was just, it was fantastic.
22:45Thank you!
22:47I thought we had it, man.
22:49I thought we had it.
22:50I thought the red team had enough in us to win that challenge.
22:53But the thing is, is that we ran out of food.
22:55You know, had we not run out, you know, we would have won the challenge.
22:58That was a very close contest.
23:01Congratulations, blue team.
23:02Red team, you will be facing a pressure test.
23:03And on the back of that test, one of you will be leaving the competition.
23:07I know each and every one of us put our hearts into those dishes.
23:11And it sucked.
23:13It didn't feel good losing.
23:14I hate, I hate losing.
23:16I will see you back in the must-have kitchen, first thing tomorrow morning.
23:21Well done, guys.
23:24It's a real tough and nerve-wracking thing, knowing that one of the six of us is gonna go home.
23:34Coming up...
23:36Today's pressure test is an amazing taste test.
23:40The contents of this pot sends one of these contestants...
23:44Cooling.
23:45...home.
23:56So we walk into the kitchen, and this time there's something different about it.
23:59We got these black aprons on instead of white.
24:01To me, black reminds me of death.
24:03So somebody's gonna be done here.
24:07It was definitely stressful.
24:08This was the most nervous I've been going into the kitchen.
24:13Definitely.
24:13Red Team, one of you will be leaving this competition.
24:18In order to avoid elimination today, you have to tell us what's in this pot.
24:27Because today's pressure test is an amazing taste test.
24:32Now the pressure is really on.
24:37There's no telling what he made, because Graham could have made a beef boryan or something.
24:43I don't even know how to pronounce, much less know what is in it.
24:47And so I was definitely worried at that point.
24:49This is something I made specially just for you guys.
24:54I put in 20 different ingredients.
24:59For today's pressure test, you have to guess as many of those ingredients as you can.
25:04If you guess right, then you can keep guessing.
25:07If you guess wrong, your turn is over.
25:11Mom.
25:11Oh, my God.
25:12The individual that guesses the fewest ingredients in that stunning dish will be leaving MasterChef.
25:21Prove to us that you can identify the most ingredients in that stunning dish.
25:25And the good news is you join the blue team.
25:28Come on up, guys.
25:29Come on.
25:29Come on up.
25:30Okay?
25:32So, all of you, with the exception of Whitney, please go in to the MasterChef restaurant.
25:39Let's go.
25:40You ready?
25:44We have a Texas-style chili.
25:46When Graham lifted up the lid from the pot, relief just completely came over me, because
25:50being from the South, I mean, chili's something I love.
25:53I know what it tastes like.
25:54I know what's in it.
25:59Ready for the first ingredients?
26:01Onions.
26:03Onions.
26:04Onions.
26:06Onions.
26:07Onions.
26:07Are you sure, onions?
26:12Well done.
26:13That's correct.
26:14Well done.
26:18Celery.
26:19Celery.
26:20Celery.
26:21You are correct.
26:22Celery.
26:23Good job.
26:24Good job.
26:25Green bell peppers.
26:27Yes, you are correct.
26:29Yes.
26:29Yes.
26:29Yes.
26:29Are you correct?
26:31Tomatoes.
26:32Yes, you're correct.
26:33All right.
26:34All right, buddy.
26:36Beans.
26:37You are correct.
26:38There are beans.
26:38Well done.
26:41Jalapeno pepper.
26:42You are correct.
26:44Good job.
26:45Beef.
26:47You are correct.
26:48Garlic.
26:50Graham?
26:51You'd like to put a good garlic base on your chili?
26:54Garlicky chili.
26:55Oh.
26:56You are correct.
26:56Garlic.
26:56You'd like to put a good garlic base on your chili?
26:57Garlicky chili.
26:57You are correct.
26:58Garlic.
27:00Whitney, right out of the gate, just knocking it out of the park.
27:03I'm like, whoa, these others behind her are going to have their work cut out for them,
27:07you know?
27:07Beef stock.
27:08You are correct.
27:10Salt.
27:11You're correct.
27:12There's definitely a green herb in here.
27:15And I'm going to say that it is cilantro.
27:20Is there cilantro?
27:22You are correct.
27:24There's cilantro.
27:25And oil.
27:26You are correct.
27:29There's got to be some chili.
27:32Is there chili powder in there?
27:40A ground chili powder.
27:41Could this be the correct 13th ingredient in a row?
27:48It is not.
27:49You're incorrect.
27:5012 ingredients in a row.
27:52Excellent job.
27:54After I only named 12, I just started breaking down at that point because second-guessing my
28:01last decision on what ingredient I chose could send me home.
28:11Okay.
28:12Farooq, Whitney got 12 in a row out of 20.
28:17You have to beat 12.
28:18Are you ready?
28:19Yes, I am.
28:20Good luck.
28:21Good luck.
28:28I'm going to say celery, Chef.
28:32I'm going to go with onions, Chef.
28:35Green bell peppers.
28:37Free correct.
28:38Good chili.
28:40This guy has some tomatoes in it, Chef.
28:42Beans.
28:43Beef.
28:45Six in a row.
28:47I'm going to go with jalapenos.
28:50Salt.
28:51Garlic.
28:53See a leafy ingredient.
28:55Could be parsley.
28:56Could be cilantro.
28:58The pressure just starts really getting to me.
29:00And I'm praying at this point, please, please not be able to tell whether it's parsley or cilantro.
29:09I'm going to go with parsley.
29:11Parsley.
29:12Parsley.
29:13Parsley.
29:13Parsley.
29:13If there's no parsley, Whitney is safe.
29:16Parsley?
29:17Yes or no?
29:19No, there's no parsley.
29:23Nine.
29:23Nine.
29:23Correct.
29:24Whitney, congratulations.
29:25Upstairs.
29:27Oh, my God.
29:27Like, all this pressure of watching Farouk name all the ingredients, it was overwhelming.
29:32I was so happy to get to go up and watch the next person as they are in all the
29:37stress of trying to name the ingredients.
29:41Jenna, there's only four contestants left.
29:44Farouk, you've got nine in a row.
29:46You need 10 out of 20 ingredients.
29:48Okay.
29:49Will Jenna, the Texas homemaker, be able to beat Farouk with her knowledge of Texas-style chili?
29:55So Jenna's up.
29:56If she's from Texas, Texas-style chili's got to be in her repertoire.
29:59I'm like, all right, man, just breathe, breathe, breathe.
30:04First ingredient, what was it, please?
30:06Beef.
30:09Onions.
30:10Celery.
30:11You are correct.
30:12There is celery.
30:13Well done.
30:16Green bell pepper.
30:19Garlic.
30:23Salt.
30:25Tomatoes.
30:27Seven ingredients in a row.
30:28You have to get two more to tie with Farouk.
30:36Chili powder.
30:38Chili powder.
30:40Joe, yes or no?
30:42Jenna, there's no chili powder.
30:47Oh, dear.
30:49Farouk, congratulations.
30:50Join upstairs.
30:51Well done.
30:52Only getting seven is a fairly low number.
30:56It's not looking good.
30:59Okay.
31:00Slim.
31:00The bar is set at seven ingredients in a row.
31:04Eight ingredients in a row, which is safe from elimination.
31:08We have a Texas-style chili.
31:11Are you a big chili fan?
31:13Absolutely not.
31:16Not comfortable with it or just have had it but don't really like it?
31:20I don't like it.
31:21You don't like chili?
31:22No, I do not.
31:23Maybe it's time to start.
31:24I've never made chili.
31:26You've never made a chili?
31:28In my life, she says she's never cooked chili.
31:31She's saying she doesn't even like chili.
31:33And I'm thinking, thank God.
31:35Once again, Slim is forced to confront an unfamiliar food and her limited repertoire could cost her everything.
31:43Ingredient number one, please.
31:44Celery.
31:46There is celery in the chili.
31:50Beans.
31:52Onions.
31:55Flea correct.
31:57Tomatoes.
31:59Salt.
32:02Five in a row correct.
32:05Jalapeño.
32:07Mince garlic.
32:08You're correct, it's garlic.
32:11Good.
32:12One ingredient left.
32:14Slim.
32:15You have to beat seven.
32:17One more correct ingredient in a row keeps you safe from elimination.
32:22I don't know if it was beef or pork.
32:26Now that it's like dissolving in my mouth, it feels like pork.
32:30Ingredient number eight.
32:33What is it, please?
32:34She's never made chili.
32:36She doesn't like chili.
32:39I'm not out yet.
32:46Two more MasterChef's dreams hinge on whether or not Slim can guess the eighth ingredient.
32:53Either Jenna or Slim will join the others safely upstairs.
32:57I don't know if it was beef or pork.
32:59I don't know if it was beef or pork.
33:00It feels like pork.
33:01One more correct ingredient in a row, which is safe with Farouk and Whitney.
33:06And it keeps Jenna downstairs.
33:10Ingredient number eight.
33:12What is it, please?
33:16Beef.
33:19Beef.
33:22Your instinct is correct.
33:23Congratulations.
33:24Slim, up you go.
33:26Up you go.
33:27Congratulations.
33:28It felt so good to be safe.
33:30It felt so good to have my ass off the line.
33:32But it was sad seeing that Jenna was still standing there.
33:37Jenna, there's only two chefs left and your score is seven.
33:42Do you feel safe or vulnerable?
33:43No, I don't feel safe at all.
33:44You don't feel safe?
33:45No.
33:47Right.
33:48David, first of all, thank you for dressing appropriately.
33:53Very well.
33:54Okay.
33:55Graham, please, reveal.
33:57Oh, okay.
33:58We have a Texas-style chili.
34:01Yes.
34:01David, Jenna's from Texas and she only scored seven out of 20.
34:06Okay.
34:07Get more than seven right in a row and you're safe.
34:11All right.
34:12Good luck.
34:16Well, I'm going to start with the obvious stuff.
34:18Let's go with beef.
34:20I'm going to say celery.
34:23Two correct ingredients in a row.
34:26Tomatoes.
34:28It's chili.
34:29Like, I could, without even, like, opening my eyes, tell you, you know, 10 or 15 ingredients that are in
34:35most chilies.
34:37Garlic.
34:39Correct.
34:39Well done.
34:41Good work.
34:42Really good work.
34:44Really good work.
34:44One more.
34:45And you, young man, are completely safe from elimination.
34:49Ingredient number eight.
34:51What is it, please?
34:52Salt.
34:55You're going to have to keep on playing the game.
34:57There is salt in it.
35:00You are safe.
35:02Congratulations.
35:02Join the other.
35:03Well done.
35:05Well done.
35:05That's it, really.
35:07I'm safe.
35:07I'm still here.
35:09Total relief.
35:10And, you know, take it forward.
35:13It's down to Sharon and Jenna, the financial advisor versus the stay-at-home mom.
35:20Sharon, you're the last up.
35:22Jenna got seven out of 20.
35:25You can't afford a single mistake before number seven.
35:31Okay?
35:33Now, please stand in front of the pot.
35:35This pressure test is absolutely crucial.
35:39I really want to prove to the judges that I deserve to be the master chef.
35:43This is my dream.
35:46Ingredient one.
35:48Celery.
35:52Ingredient two.
35:55Beans.
35:57You've got two in a row.
36:00Onions.
36:02With every ingredient Sharon guesses correctly, Jenna's dream fades.
36:07Five correct ingredients in a row.
36:09Ingredient number six.
36:11Jalapenos.
36:14I'm waiting for him.
36:15I'm just hoping that he's going to say chili powder at some point.
36:18If he says chili powder, I'm set.
36:22One more to tie.
36:24If it's an incorrect ingredient, you leave master chef.
36:30Jenna, you're safe.
36:34I'm going to go with an important flavoring agent for chili.
36:36And that would be salt.
36:38You're correct, you're salt.
36:40One more of them.
36:41Good job.
36:43This is the only ingredient that matters.
36:47Get this one correct, and Jenna is leaving master chef.
36:53Ingredient number eight.
36:55What is it, please?
36:56The first look that I get of that deep, rich, delicious chili that I think helps bring everything out and
37:06give it that just yummy earthiness and flavor.
37:15I am hanging by a thread on him saying chili powder.
37:19Cumin.
37:21That's it.
37:23Make or break.
37:24If it's cumin, you're safe.
37:28Jenna, you're leaving master chef.
37:34Is there cumin?
37:36The whole master chef experience is coming down to this moment.
37:48Is there cumin?
37:54Congratulations.
37:56Really well done.
37:58Really well done.
38:01Please go upstairs and join the rest of them.
38:11Jenna, you have been amazing.
38:14Keep your head up high.
38:16Yes?
38:18We're all incredibly proud of you as judges.
38:22And when you go back to your family, they should hold you in awe.
38:26Because you have done exceptionally well.
38:28Good job.
38:29Congratulations.
38:30Well done.
38:36It is a big deal to be going home.
38:38The master chef experience was life-changing and amazing.
38:44It has really opened my eyes just to people and to experiences and taking a risk, taking a chance, leaving
38:53home.
38:53And even though everything has been great, I know that I've got my family waiting for me and that's really
39:00where my heart is.
39:01And I'm happy that I'm going to be back with my kids and my family.
39:12Next time on MasterChef, contestants have cooked for three of the most brutal judges on the planet, but now they're
39:20going up against someone even tougher.
