00:01Previously on The Heat...
00:03Today, I want to see both of you.
00:07Alex and Priya battled it out as joint head chefs.
00:10Two head chefs? It's gonna be crazy.
00:13I want silence!
00:14There were fireworks in the kitchen.
00:16The reason why the lamp is going cold, stop arguing with the patch, please.
00:19Alex owned it.
00:20The kitchen is back to the right speed.
00:22Service? Yes, sir.
00:23Beautiful.
00:24Priya lost it.
00:26Alex W is very lucky that he got to stay.
00:28And with the final in touching distance, it's dog eat dog.
00:32We're competing against each other.
00:34If I have to end up taking him down in the end, it's just how it's gonna be.
00:39It's tough, but I want to win.
00:41If it was Alex and I in the final, just us two, I think it would be kind of fit.
00:45Kind of cute.
00:46We just have to find out who's the best chef.
00:48And I think it's me.
01:02It's the penultimate day in Barcelona, and the semi-final is officially on.
01:07Morning, morning.
01:09How you doing?
01:10What's up?
01:10But before the heat really kicks in, Jayon's serving up a team breakfast.
01:15A final moment of unity before they battle it out.
01:18Okay, okay, okay.
01:19Talk to me, talk to me.
01:20What have you got going on?
01:21So this is the business.
01:22Okay, we have three options of eggs today.
01:24We have scrambled, we have fried, we have poached.
01:26And chef, is this all gonna be ready in 25 minutes?
01:27Oh, 100%.
01:28Absolutely, I believe you.
01:29One more day, my passion is burning.
01:32My attitude is at an all-time high, and I just wanna pour out all I've got at this point
01:36and reach the finale.
01:38Chef, can you try this?
01:38Oh, don't scramble, please.
01:39You do like scramble.
01:41Do it again, refire.
01:42Oh, God.
01:43Refire.
01:44I've learned a lot about myself in and out of the kitchen.
01:47Yesterday gave me a lot of boost, kind of really needed that chance to really kind of prove myself and
01:52show what I can do, especially on the pass in the kitchen.
01:55So yeah, feeling very confident again, and very happy to attack the day.
01:59Can you get on the avocado, chef?
02:01Chef, chef, chef, chef, we've got five minutes of service.
02:03The final is approaching, and yeah, we've got one more day.
02:08For me, I think JC said twists and turns are coming, so I'm nervous for what's to come.
02:15The twist and roll, twist and roll.
02:20We have one more day until someone's star chef.
02:25Isn't that crazy?
02:26I actually just want either one of us to win, more so me.
02:30But if it was you, then I would still be happy with that.
02:34I feel like the strongest in the group right now are me, Kat and Jayon.
02:38But I'm very, very confident in my ability.
02:41As long as I get through today and I smash it, I'm in that final, and I'm gonna win.
02:46How do you feel like now that we're at the end of the competition, obviously you and George have a
02:51little bit of a thing.
02:52Are you gonna just put that out the window?
02:55This year, for me, is one of the best years of just my own self-growth and, like, building myself.
03:01Yeah.
03:02So I think I would really, really kick myself if I let anybody jeopardise that in any position or any
03:08kind of way.
03:08I totally agree.
03:10Like, yeah, I would never get distracted from my own success because of a man.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Me and George's relationship, I think he just does forget sometimes about, like, some stuff for me is so intense
03:23and emotional and, like, this is not the time for it.
03:27Like, for me, this time is for this competition and proving myself as a woman and as a chef.
03:35How do you like your eggs in the morning? I like a man with a cake.
03:40There's way too many chefs in this kitchen right now.
03:44What's really special is, yes, everyone's aware of the competition, but as you feel that level of intensity rising in
03:51terms of competitiveness, you also feel the intensity rising of, like, lovingness.
03:57We have breakfast! Yes!
04:00They're all just so grateful for each other and they've really got to know each other and got to know
04:04how each other work.
04:06And it's been an absolute pleasure to watch.
04:09I'm gonna take some pictures.
04:10Oh, my God, yeah, selfies.
04:12There's nothing there.
04:14What are you doing before?
04:14I'm rolling thunder power of rain
04:17yeah, yeah, I'm coming on like a hurricane
04:23my lightning is flashing across the sky
04:26The last six of us, I really feel like I've found friends for life,
04:30but at the same time, this is a competition,
04:33I'm going to find my corner and I'm going to do everything it takes.
04:39I'm going to do everything I can to win this competition.
04:42Nothing's going to get in my way.
04:50And then it was six.
04:52So tomorrow, I will be choosing my star chef of the season.
05:00You all have the potential.
05:04But by the end of today, I will be selecting just two of you to go head-to-head in
05:16the final service.
05:20The fact there's only two people going through to tomorrow is like heavy stuff.
05:25I am going to be testing you a whole new way.
05:32We have a private event for our 30th birthday with a fixed menu.
05:42You will be all responsible for the starters, main course and desserts.
05:50I'm gobsmacked to be fair, like doing events is extremely different to doing a normal service.
05:57I think all of us are a little bit nervous.
05:59It's just how you deal with that and whether you allow it to let you crack.
06:03And the head chef today is going to be...
06:12Mwah!
06:15Knowing that you've got a pioneer in the culinary world, leading the gaff, it's just a different kettle of fish,
06:21you know?
06:21You bet you have your skates on, my friend, you know that, because you're going to see another side of
06:27me.
06:29It's absolutely terrifying.
06:31I'm very intrigued how this is going to go.
06:34I think tensions will be rising.
06:36It's a lot of pressure.
06:37The stakes have never been so high.
06:40One little mistake and that could be your downfall.
06:45So, please don't let yourself down.
06:49Capisce?
06:50Yes, chef.
06:51Good.
06:52Let's go to work and enjoy it.
06:53Yes, chef.
06:54And enjoy the symphony.
06:59Obviously, a bit scared.
07:01I'm sure it's going to be tough and tense, but I know my worth and my ability now.
07:06I can see myself in that final if I put in a really good performance today.
07:12I think it's going to be good just to see if people can handle that amount of pressure as well,
07:16especially with chef on people's backs.
07:18You know, there's no hiding anymore.
07:21I don't think the real sports going to be happening today.
07:38Back in the heat restaurant where our chefs are competing for just two places in tomorrow's final.
07:44Come on.
07:45Come on, guys.
07:46Let's do this.
07:47It is the semi-finals.
07:49They're cooking a set menu for a 30th birthday celebration.
07:53Everyone's on the same level because the head chef today is the main man himself.
07:59All right, guys.
08:00How are you?
08:01Good, chef.
08:02Good, chef.
08:04So, the service, I'm going to be at the pass.
08:07If things are not good enough, I'll have to jump into the parties and take your job over.
08:12Yeah?
08:12Yes, chef.
08:12Yes, chef.
08:13Okay.
08:13I am looking for the full package.
08:15I want to see how they can lead and how they can follow.
08:18They must have the right attitude and give it their all.
08:22I feel like today is going to be really good.
08:23We just need to really work with our strengths, you know, put the ego at the side.
08:28Today, the pressure stacked up because, like, I started off, like, washing plates.
08:32You know, so, to go from that to then four years later, coming out here has just shown
08:37that, obviously, like, dreams can be made and dreams do come true.
08:41Obviously, we're all here to help each other.
08:44No set sections.
08:45We obviously need to sort out what we want to do.
08:47My biggest competition is Jael.
08:49I think he is a really good chef.
08:51His only kind of downfall is pastry, so it will be interesting to see where he is today.
08:56Do you need to go on straight away?
08:58Yeah.
08:58Quail prep, anglaise, prawn prep, and the pepperoni.
09:01We can all get, we can get all that done in the first half.
09:03I'm going to get on to the prawns to help you out, my bro.
09:05Creme anglaise.
09:06I'll do that.
09:07Caramel cage.
09:08Is that you two?
09:08I'll do the caramel cage.
09:10I think everyone is my competition, but if I was to pick one, I'd say Kat.
09:15She's amazing at what she does.
09:16She's a good leader.
09:17I think she's definitely the toughest, toughest to beat for me at the moment.
09:2335 minutes first-timer.
09:24Yes.
09:24Talk ten.
09:25They're all capable chefs, they're all talented, they're all hard-working.
09:29It's going to be a tough one.
09:31And guys, everyone's going to smash it, we just need to fill together as a team.
09:34Yeah, we.
09:35Right.
09:35I love you all.
09:36Love you too.
09:37Love you.
09:37It's all hands on deck to serve the large birthday group.
09:40That means everyone takes on each course.
09:45Backs, please.
09:45Backs, please.
09:46Not burning.
09:46Katafi prawns will start the service.
09:49Shrimp done yet?
09:50No, not yet.
09:51I'm so tired.
09:52Me too.
09:53This is going to be tough, but the final stretch now.
09:56Then for mains, the team will be serving up pan-roasted quail with polenta.
10:01Make sure that this is not burning.
10:04Caramelization.
10:05It actually makes it sweeter.
10:06What burn?
10:07And a poached egg and sautéed mushroom option for the vegetarians.
10:12Pastry queens.
10:13Pastry queens for real.
10:15Dessert will be ill-flatant with cardamom creme anglaise, which for the rest of us basically
10:21means floating meringue with a fancy sugar cage.
10:24A caramel burn is like the worst burn.
10:27Yeah, it's like fucking second degree, man.
10:32And with JC as head chef, nothing will go unnoticed.
10:39Helena, do you want to finish setting this table?
10:42Oh, my God.
10:42I'm literally shitting myself.
10:44It's going to be fine.
10:45Natalia.
10:51It's going to be a hard decision for him.
10:53Four people.
10:55Four.
10:55Four.
10:56Yeah, four.
10:58Kat.
10:58Hi, chef.
10:59What can I do for you?
11:00I'm going to be on the ice mall.
11:01I've done a few of the sugar work pieces before, so I want to try and, you know, prove a
11:06point
11:06a little bit.
11:06All right.
11:07Good luck.
11:07I'm here to jump in.
11:09Working under chef Jean-Christophe Novelli today, it's actually such a whirlwind to be thinking
11:15that he's watching over, really kind of seeing the in-depth of what's going on in the kitchen.
11:19I am good enough and I have been good enough and I've 100% got my eyes on Star Chef.
11:24I'm not walking away without that title.
11:27Make sure that the egg yolks and the sugar are really nice, pale and floppy.
11:31Then add them into very slowly and then thicken it up on the heat.
11:35You changed.
11:36All of you have changed.
11:37I feel like Jean-Christophe is looking at who's the most dominant and who actually has the perfectionism.
11:42So, yeah, I really feel like I can be that person today.
11:57Hello.
11:58Welcome.
12:00Hello.
12:00Are you the birthday girl by chance?
12:03Back top.
12:04Back, back.
12:05If starters need a push, we give starters a push, yeah?
12:08Yeah.
12:08The more push that we give starters, the more free-term it gives you for the mains, yeah?
12:12There's only 15 minutes left before we start the service.
12:16Yes, sir.
12:16And you can see clearly the customers are arriving.
12:20Complementary drinks on arrival.
12:21Cool.
12:22All right.
12:24Service time comes and I've got like 7,000 things to do.
12:28I can smell something.
12:34Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
12:36Did you burn yourself?
12:38Yeah.
12:39Yeah.
12:40I burnt myself within like the first hour.
12:45I was just so dumb, but there was no way I was leaving to get it sorted.
12:51Season, have you seasoned?
12:52Yeah, chef, salt.
12:53Oh, thank you.
12:54Yes.
12:55So, yesterday you went straight up to the front.
12:57Yes, chef.
12:58Yeah, from nowhere.
12:59I've got to say you were a magnificent yesterday.
13:01You were really mainly happy.
13:02Thank you very much, chef.
13:03So, please make sure today again, yeah?
13:05Yes, chef.
13:06It feels good to go into the last elimination round with that under my belt, but there's some
13:10pretty strong contenders, but I think if I land on my feet today, I have a pretty strong
13:15chance of getting into that final.
13:17Amazing.
13:18More salt.
13:19That tastes really good, though.
13:21It's going to be really nice.
13:21Really, really nice.
13:23We all just need to be talking to each other the whole time, make sure that no one's falling
13:27behind.
13:28Sorry, chef.
13:30Be a bit cautious because they are canapés.
13:32Maybe this one could go a bit less.
13:33Less?
13:34I think this one's quite good because it's not as much.
13:36Went over to Jay and I was like, those prawns are pretty big.
13:39It's a canapé.
13:39Don't forget.
13:40And this one.
13:41Yeah, it'd look great otherwise.
13:42We need to get this right and kind of work as a team and do it together.
13:46I know it's a lot of pressure and there's a lot riding on this.
13:49And the fact there's only two people going through to tomorrow.
13:52I just have to kind of smash out of the park and just try not to fuck up.
13:55In this kitchen, that's easier said than done.
13:58I'm an expert of creme anglaise.
14:01That's not the best at all.
14:03This is split.
14:04See what I mean?
14:07Marta, she did fuck up the creme anglaise.
14:09We don't have time for that.
14:11That's it.
14:12Get over.
14:12Do it again.
14:13The most simplest things like a fucking creme anglaise can send someone down here.
14:18All right, once that parchment paper's on, get the scoop and get them out, please.
14:22It's really shoved a rocket up my arse.
14:24It's better.
14:25You can see it's nice and smelled.
14:27Yeah, look at that.
14:27It's lovely.
14:28It's onctuous.
14:29It's beautiful.
14:30Right.
14:31We are officially starting the service now.
14:41Can we get all hands on deck, please, for the starters?
14:43If we don't have them, then we ain't going out.
14:45Yeah.
14:45Yeah, chef.
14:48How's it cooked?
14:48Yeah, chef.
14:50Am I happy with that?
14:50Is it cooked enough?
14:52Yeah, a bit more.
14:54A little bit more.
14:54Finish them in the oven, they'll cook through.
14:56I want the canapes now.
14:58Otherwise, now we'll have to do your job.
15:00Oh, shit.
15:01Like a taffi pasta that were rolled around, they were way too much.
15:05So it made it hard to actually cook the prawns fully.
15:09All right, this is up to temp.
15:10I'm bringing you to the pass now.
15:12Oh, man.
15:13I'm still fucked up.
15:14I'm still messed up.
15:15I can't lie.
15:16I was quaking in my boots.
15:18Quaking.
15:19How about those prawns out and then straight to the second cook?
15:22Come on, guys.
15:23We need to work as a team now.
15:24This is not a joke.
15:25I'm not someone that gives up easily or at all for that matter.
15:29Guys, what are your canapes?
15:30That looks amazing.
15:33Martha, the way you took decisions to use the thermometer and go straight to find out what's going on, that
15:39was very good.
15:40I'm definitely relieved to have one Jean-Christophe back over when I took the initiative to check the core temperature
15:46with the probe.
15:47I'm not really sure why no one else did that, but I've come this far.
15:51I've done so well.
15:53I want this so bad.
15:56You're all very quiet, which is usually a good sign.
15:58Happy hour.
15:59Yeah?
16:00Now, what's next?
16:02Quiet on, chef.
16:03Quiet on, chef.
16:03Who's dealing with the quake?
16:05Alex is stepping right there.
16:06Hi, chef.
16:06That's good.
16:07Alex J on two minutes?
16:09Two minutes, yes.
16:10You guys need to start getting them plates ready to get the polenta piping.
16:13Are you sure you're going to be ready in two minutes?
16:15Well, it'll take you more than two minutes to do that anyway at this point.
16:17So, let's at least get started, please.
16:18Yeah, you start.
16:19Come on now.
16:20The starters was a lot of hiccups.
16:21I made a few mistakes, but I just hope that everyone does their best, and as a team, we
16:24can work and function to get this service done.
16:28They're not cooked, yeah?
16:29Yes, chef.
16:29They still need to go back there.
16:30How would you like me to plate?
16:31Did you hear what I said?
16:32The quake?
16:32Can you communicate where you stand?
16:35Because Marta is plating the polenta.
16:37You guys told me two minutes?
16:38Yeah.
16:38Guys, I literally said, are you sure?
16:40Are you sure?
16:41Yes, sir.
16:42That was wrong timing, and he could have just let me know.
16:45It wouldn't have been that much of a problem if it was a few more minutes, but...
16:50The quake needs longer.
16:52Because of the quake, Alex, you got the team down today.
16:56Okay, back.
16:57Ten quake.
16:57Ten quake?
16:58Yeah.
16:59Right, guys, I'm going on with the quake.
17:01Yeah.
17:01Is the quake all right?
17:02I trust Marta's judgment.
17:03She has held them in the oven.
17:04No, no, no, no, no.
17:05You finish the job.
17:06Yes?
17:07Have a look.
17:08Marta, can I see the quake?
17:09Happy, yeah, warm.
17:10Are you happy?
17:11I'm happy, yes.
17:12Is it hot?
17:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:17Don't do that to me, no.
17:18Alex W, he fucked up.
17:20We don't have time for it.
17:21If nothing goes on the plate in one minute, they will have to restart the whole lot again.
17:35Welcome back to the semi-final of The Heat.
17:38The chefs are battling it out to secure a place in tomorrow's final.
17:42Service is in full swing, as today they're cooking for a 30th birthday celebration.
17:50Hello, Avery.
17:51Hello, Avery.
17:52It won't be long, I promise you.
17:54So far, it's been a bumpy ride.
17:56Jayon prepared some chunky prawns, which were touch and go.
18:01Marta saved the day with her temperature probe, but managed to split her creme anglaise.
18:05Alex, how long?
18:06We need to just get this back on the heat.
18:09Alex botched his birds.
18:11Come on, bro.
18:12Yeah.
18:13They're coming, they're coming.
18:13Try to speed it up.
18:14And Kat burnt her finger, but is determined to carry on.
18:18I can see you putting yourself at risk by doing somebody else's job, yeah?
18:22Yes, Chef.
18:23To sum up, the mains are late, the group are starving, and Jaycee is fuming.
18:27Who's yelling over?
18:29He's yelling now.
18:31Those table decorations are starting to look tasty.
18:34Have you seasoned your celery?
18:36I've not yet, Chef.
18:37I'm going to season it in the pan.
18:38Season now?
18:39Yes, Chef.
18:40What are you doing?
18:41I'm getting some oregano.
18:42I don't care about your caramel.
18:43Get your hand there.
18:45Yes, Chef.
18:45Because everybody had to plate everything, you could start to see the cracks coming through.
18:51That just kept, like, falling like a domino's effect on the dessert side of things.
18:55That kind of fucked me over.
18:57Please, Abig, you do something before I jump in.
18:59We need to get them quails working, yeah?
19:01Yeah.
19:02They're like 75% of the way there.
19:03Right, so we need to get them 100%.
19:04We need to get them 100%.
19:06Yes, I know, but not yet.
19:07Miss kind of estimating on how long I thought it would take to cook the quail.
19:12I definitely slowed down the main courses.
19:16Okay, essentially, we're going to be another five minutes.
19:18Is there any chance you could just let them know?
19:20And hopefully, fingers crossed, they'll be okay.
19:22You got it.
19:22You got it.
19:23Straight into the maitre d' role.
19:25What are we going to do to distract the guest?
19:27Hello, everyone.
19:28I'm so sorry to interrupt.
19:29We have a little special treat for you.
19:31Helena is a gorgeous singer.
19:34So, I was like, Helena, how do you feel about stepping in and serenading our birthday girl?
19:38Happy birthday to you.
19:45Woo!
19:46Happy birthday, dear Hannah.
19:54Happy birthday to you.
20:08Woo!
20:09Woo!
20:11Woo!
20:16Woo!
20:19Woo!
20:20Woo!
20:21I think it might be on the chopping floor.
20:24Is there quail definitely cooked here?
20:26Yeah, I just checked it.
20:28Come on, let's go.
20:29Let's go.
20:29Someone keep an eye on this so it doesn't overheat.
20:30Seven.
20:31Trauma response.
20:32Trauma response.
20:34Wait.
20:34One, and two.
20:36Ready to go, please.
20:36I'm gonna say the plate look good. I hope and we hope it's gonna be hot enough
20:41I have prepped and cooked quail before but to have drunk itself in the kitchen
20:45We were under a lot of pressure. Yeah couldn't perform as well as I would have liked to. Do you
20:50think it's going to be cold?
20:51I literally was thinking the exact same thing. Oh
20:55God don't tell JC. So quail done and dusted, but there's still the veggie dish to serve time to get
21:01cracking
21:04Why is Maya not doing the post egg?
21:06Do the post egg Maya. Do you know how to make post egg? Yes chef. Come on. Do the post
21:10egg
21:10Um three minutes 45 seconds. Oh you don't know. Sorry chef. You never done post egg before? Yeah
21:16I was just able to check. But what are you asking for? It's all good chef. I back myself. Just
21:20do it on your own. Okay chef
21:24I've made a poached egg once at cookery school day one. George, can you make a poached egg?
21:29Can I make a poached egg? Okay. Have you got the thing on it? So much stress and pressure and
21:33Chaos on top of chef shouting at you
21:37I just went down on a poached egg. I fucking hate poached eggs anyway
21:41Chef, I'm just doing poached egg in there to make poached egg. I know to do it. Okay, good. Oh
21:45I can't wait to see them. Maya was doing the poached egg and like it just didn't come out properly
21:51at all
21:53There you go. John? Yeah, two veggie made. I'm not fucking going out because of a poached egg for fuck's
21:57sake
21:57I cooked the bastards. They were fine
22:01Before you do your desserts I need to say something important. Yes
22:04Gathering over there, please. Remember
22:08I will have to choose
22:10two
22:12Head chef tonight. So far, I'm not satisfied
22:18So you've got now one final course to redeem yourself to get back in that pastry and get me some
22:25milk
22:25Because ice a classic is very simple the pressure is most definitely on bus still very much in the race
22:32Just one last hurdle and I'm in the final. Let's go big or go home. I guess
22:37And it's not just one person out of the running today. It's for this last course could change everything
22:43Good luck team. You're gonna need it
22:46Five minutes left. Come on. Let's go. I need three egg whites for that. Yeah, wait
22:51And then we need to whip it till stiff peaks. Yeah, then we need to fold in ice and sugar
22:54Okay, then we need a pot with milk boiling so that we can simmer and cook
23:00Yeah, my god, this is a lot. I
23:03Actually don't know if I would survive the final after this trust
23:07Going into desserts today. I was worried time had run out. I
23:13Didn't expect it to have to be everybody
23:15Plating everything you would have to jump on and help that and not go back to your section and do
23:20what you needed to do
23:21Yes, can you get the creme on glazing plate?
23:24Pastor! Pastor! Hello!
23:25Are you ready? I did. Okay, two here for me. Thank you, Chad
23:29How many more to go, Kat? I've got three more here, chef
23:34I think there was only so few that that really stood out in terms of making sure the success of
23:39today was imperative
23:43So much on the line because I feel like it could change my life my family's life
23:48Have we got one more better next than this by any chance we done done? Do not get excited
23:52Okay, guys service stop now end of it. I
23:57Can't believe we just did a happy fucking birthday
24:03I'm so sorry
24:06Enjoy your face
24:10Yeah, I feel absolutely fucking knackered after that. That one ain't intense that like way too intense
24:21That was probably one of my worst services
24:25To date, which is typical
24:31Kat you really didn't do it as bad as nearly everyone out there
24:37Go to suit
24:41I burnt myself
24:42I just shoved a glove on and just went through it so that I wouldn't let the team down
24:54Where is Kat?
24:55She's just with the medic, chef. She's in the back, chef. She got a little caramel burn
24:59And she managed to do the service with no complaints. Yes, chef
25:07Do you have any regrets?
25:09I regret not poaching more eggs
25:13I don't know
25:14It's the end of the service. Yes, chef. So I'm going to leave you to finish the kitchen and I
25:19will see you for the debrief later. Yes, chef. Thank you. Thank you.
25:25That is horrible. Don't be sad because we all fucked up today and at least you showed initiative and fixed
25:33your mistakes.
25:34I feel as though I was I've been really consistent throughout this whole experience and I just feel like today
25:42I let myself down
25:43We sent out all of those desserts and we did it in 15 minutes. Was it 15 minutes? Well, nearly
25:50yeah
25:5120
25:5220
25:5220
25:54Just be proud. Okay, even if you're not proud
25:57Make yourself proud. You're the strongest person. I know like seriously. I can't believe I met you. Oh
26:04Thanks, girl. You're welcome. I don't even know
26:09What feedback?
26:11To expect or anything
26:17I just genuinely don't even feel like I would survive the final
26:21After today's performance. So like I think it would be best if he did send me home
26:32Massive, massive thank you because they've never had to do a banquet, you know altogether different sections
26:38So I'm going to leave you together and thank you so much. Au revoir. Merci
26:45Now it's time for the debrief and a big decision for Monsieur Novelli
26:52I'm ready to go into the debrief and hold my head high and be you know critiqued
26:59I can't even put into words how much I want to be in the final right now and to win
27:07The way he cooks, but again, it's all going in curves and I hope I get one more chance to
27:11just prove that I am a winner and I deserve to be here, man
27:15Chefs on all that was a good service it was by no means perfect but the party left happy and
27:27that's the main thing
27:29Only two of you can go head to head to become my star chef tomorrow. I want to hear how
27:40do you feel?
27:41I'm not sure if everyone ticked off their jobs on the list if I'm honest. I picked up a few
27:46more
27:47And what about the poached egg? I'm very disappointed in that. I think I've made it once in my life.
27:51Yeah, I hate poached eggs
27:53Really? It's not funny boys. It's not funny. I'm really embarrassed chef
27:58What about the prawns? I was actually advised by Maia that maybe it was too sick
28:04Or I wrapped it too many times. I did advise him that maybe the kind of it was too big.
28:08Yeah
28:09Okay, let's move on George. Yes chef the size of the prawns
28:14Were an issue? I should have questioned it and gone to Jay on and said maybe these are a bit
28:19too big
28:20But I just wanted to get the food out and make the customers happy because we were already struggling for
28:25time at that point
28:27Okay, let's move on Kat. The sugar work in the back was a struggle for me
28:32I'm disappointed in my performance
28:34Okay, Marta, what do you think?
28:36The creme anglaise that I made at the first time had split
28:38I made a mistake by using a whisk
28:40I then made another creme anglaise and I managed to use that for the service
28:45You think so?
28:46Yes, well, it was still a little bit too runny, but it was okay
28:52Alex, I underestimated how long it would take to cook the quail
28:55And that definitely slowed down the main so that is completely on me
29:00Enough talking now
29:08George
29:08Yes chef
29:09You make mistakes
29:12But you work so hard
29:15And have for sure the passion I look for
29:22Martha
29:23Yes chef
29:24You had some good days
29:26And you had some bad days
29:28But I love your independence
29:31Thank you
29:35Jim
29:38I think your ego can sometimes get the better of you
29:44But I love your energy
29:46Cat
29:49He has not always been flawless
29:51And I think you've put too much pressure on yourself
29:55But I see so much potential
30:02Maya
30:05Sometime I wish you show me more passion
30:08But you've got such a calm head
30:12And you are so resilient
30:15And he shows that
30:16And he shows that
30:19Alex
30:20It took you so long to show me
30:23What you've got
30:24And you definitely have something
30:26And it's impressive
30:31Okay
30:37I've made my decision
30:42It's for the two people
30:45Still in the running
30:51To be my star chef
31:07Decision time at the heat
31:09Only two chefs can make it through to tomorrow's final
31:15Okay
31:19Is someone who's put in so much effort
31:23And made so much progress
31:27And the chef is
31:37Gerard
31:42How do you feel?
31:44Relieved
31:45But
31:46The victory's not won
31:47I feel like I've really stretched my arms out wide
31:50And tried to embrace as many lessons as I could
31:54And I just want to keep on delivering chef
31:56So thank you so much for choosing me
31:57I appreciate that chef
31:59You deserve it
31:59Absolutely well done
32:00Thank you so much
32:02Phew
32:04There you go
32:06Yo, we made it to the
32:07Oh, sorry
32:08We made it to the final
32:09I never went to culinary school
32:11I've never been in a Michelin star restaurant
32:13And I'm just so overjoyed and happy
32:15Mom's Eve would be proud
32:16I know that for a fact
32:19And the second person
32:22Despite some mistakes today
32:27This person
32:28Has been so brave
32:33And impressed me through
32:36The whole competition
32:41And this chef is
32:52Cat
32:57You are
32:57You are
32:58And well done
33:05Sorry
33:07It's okay
33:08I think I'm really hard on myself
33:10Because I just
33:12I want everything to be perfect
33:13And I just
33:15I just didn't think that I did good enough today
33:18And I really appreciate that you've seen that in me
33:22I am in the final
33:24What the fuck
33:26I absolutely love Joe
33:28And I wish him the world
33:32He deserves this
33:33But this is my time to show that I do deserve this
33:37And it's time to show myself that I deserve this
33:41But the best chef will win and we will see who that will be
33:46Thank you, chef
33:49Obviously I am a little bit disappointed
33:51I wanted to win but I came here with the intention of growing
33:55And I feel like I did definitely fulfil that
33:58I've learnt so much in this process
34:01I feel like I am capable of cooking well and matching these incredible chefs
34:08And like, yeah, I made it to the end
34:10As much as myself, George, Maya and Marta put in so much effort
34:16I think that the choice between Jay and Cass to be the finalists was spot on
34:23I think those two are just so talented
34:27Kat and Jeanne
34:29Yes, chef
34:31Tomorrow, you will be battling out to be my star chef
34:38But you won't be doing this alone
34:41Because now you can choose two chefs to work under you during the final service
34:49Yes!
34:51Yay!
34:54You can't always promise yourself to be the winner
34:57But I am still in the final and I still get to fucking cook, you know
35:01That's what I love more, cooking, being there, get to stay till the fucking end
35:06Kat, lady first, of course
35:08Tell me, who is your first choice?
35:12I would like this person in my team because they are strong
35:15They have shown that they are a great leader
35:18So the person I would like to pick is Alex
35:21Wow! Thank you, Kat
35:22Thank you
35:23Now, Jeanne
35:24Chef, I would like to pick this person because I believe that they are the yang to my yang
35:29The one that makes up for my weaknesses
35:33I would like to choose Marta
35:34Ooh!
35:36So now we are back to Kat
35:37Between Maya and George
35:40Which one would you like to pick?
35:42They have both got massive strengths
35:48I think I would like to pick Maya on my team
35:51You know, this industry is very male dominated
35:54And I would love for me to have a woman on my team to help me succeed
35:59Maya?
36:00It's a very good team, Chef
36:03I'm not shocked that Kat didn't pick me, you know
36:05It's the nature of the competition, she wants to win
36:08Fortunately, chefs around me are more talented than me
36:10I'm on team Jeanne, I'm going to do everything for him because I love him to bits
36:14So that means, Jeanne, you've got in your team, George and Marta
36:20And Kat, in your team, you've got Alex and Maya
36:25I was just thinking about who has been strong in the last few days
36:29Who would respect me as a leader?
36:32George did cross my mind, but it's nothing personal, it's strictly business at this point
36:38Yeah
36:40I feel like Marta and George are really going to help supply this dream
36:43And really make sure that it becomes a reality
36:46And I have nothing but faith and trust in them to really help me do so
36:49And one more thing, each of you must create a starter, man and dessert
36:57That you believe will be the winning menu
37:01An extension of yourself
37:04The amount of passion that poured out into this career, man
37:07It's just about time I can finally showcase me, you know, on a plate, finally
37:13Please, all of you, go back to your accommodations, have a good rest
37:17Because tomorrow, one of you will be my star chef
37:22Good night, au revoir and bonne chance
37:24Salut
37:26Thank you
37:29Oh my god
37:31I'm so happy for you
37:34Oh my god
37:37I actually can't even put into words how nice to always for Kat to pick me first
37:42Well done, never doubt yourself
37:44It's still so important for me to allow Jayon to win and give him everything
37:49Give him my 100%, even though I love Kat
37:52Jayon has been like a brother to me in this process
37:55We've grown so close together
37:57So happy for you
37:59Jayon should be a bit worried
38:00I think Kat's got the best team by far
38:03I'm fully going to have the best service of my life tomorrow
38:06I'm going to go all in
38:08No flirting in the kitchen tomorrow
38:12It's going to be hard
38:14It's really going to be hard
38:15Made the best chef win
38:16For real, for real
38:18Tomorrow, Kat and Jayon will go head to head at the final service
38:22But before the teams take each other down, JC has lined up a special dinner to bring everyone together
38:31An intimate al fresco dinner
38:34You know what they say about keeping your enemies closer
38:37We've earned this guys
38:39We've earned this
38:40I came to Barcelona for a fun summer to learn and to be put under the pressure
38:46So it can mould me as a person
38:48And by damn it's fucking moulded me
38:49You know, I'm ten times the man I was before I came here
38:52And I'm actually being serious
38:54I'm actually being really nervous
38:54I'm really looking forward to it
38:54And I'm really looking forward to this
38:54But I'm just looking forward to it
38:58At the end of the day

40:19little tapas it's so much nicer when the pressures off as well what's
40:23everybody's high and low since tomorrow is our last time and well my lowest moments
40:31have to be that fateful service on the pastry yeah with Alex I don't want a
40:42mess today yeah I don't mind people are cookie and deliver but you don't deliver
40:47bus Maya helping me not feel so shit about myself after a service like that by being
40:53very very lovely and very pretty and and then also managing to kind of pull pull that service back
41:01and and be finally recognized by Jean-Christophe you did deserve that yeah
41:05fucking amazing my lowest low must have been when I felt oh to be fair obviously
41:12like obviously before I left I told mom that obviously like following this like
41:16change isn't gonna happen do you get it but for me to be that out here leaving
41:21after that the second day because of a throat infection I said now saying that day
41:24in my life in my peripheral and I think my highest high must be today you know I'm just
41:30grateful for all he is so how do you know my highest high was today even though
41:36Martin didn't make it to the finals what you've done in this competition is like
41:40let go and just and just let people in and just let people know that like
41:46actually you're not this tough person you're the most sensitive beautiful soul
41:50that you actually saw and I'm so deeply in love with you and I just again this whole
42:01experience has been such a high for me and I'm just so grateful to be honest love
42:08you Marta love you too I'd say my pitch was probably letting maybe Tom down on that on
42:15that day no one heavy your team let you dumb I'm gonna miss you miss you too and
42:28also like reading the letter I John you read it to me last letter it was yeah it

43:11know I tried to be silly and quirky and try to spice things up Maya and Alex are you
43:19clarking or what after that comment that's major red flag to be fair is it yeah
