00:00Tonight is Ted's
00:05Tonight we're having a World Cup cook-off you will be cooking dishes that will be perfect for a FIFA
00:12World Cup watch party
00:13But there's a twist Dave at halftime you get to bench one cook from this challenge
00:23With elimination on the line somebody is getting that red card
00:27No, that twist could change the whole game. I could take out one of their top cooks being strategic
00:33I'm in shock
00:45Like that goal amazing
00:47What are you cooking chef? What do you got for us? Well, we got a beautiful pony and braille here
00:50You can come grill at my house anytime Gordon. Thank you. I love it when Gordon's cooking and I'm sitting
00:56yeah
00:57This is the way it should be
00:59Oh, we got company seriously. Come on guys. It was just getting good. I'm trying to get your lunch cooked
01:05That'll be fine. Here we go. All right
01:07Oh my god
01:09Oh no way
01:12It was crazy
01:13patio furniture
01:15What they got going on today, bro?
01:18I see a lot of barbecue stuff
01:21Coming into the master chef kitchen
01:23I see Home Depot signs grills turf and it feels like there's some sort of backyard party going on in
01:29the master chef kitchen and you know what?
01:30I'm down for that
01:32Right all of you welcome back to the master chef kitchen everybody you all survived your first field challenge and
01:38a
01:39Big congrats to Africa and the Americas for pulling off that incredible win. Come on. Give yourselves a round of
01:45applause
01:45Great job guys
01:48Now we've been having our own global gauntlet, right?
01:52But the rest of the globe has been preparing itself for the FIFA World Cup and nothing says World Cup
01:58kickoff like a really good watch party
02:00So our friends at the Home Depot have brought the backyard to us
02:06Tonight you will be cooking dishes that will be perfect for a FIFA World Cup watch party and I'm not
02:14talking about finger foods or
02:16Handhelds we want plated meals
02:19Okay, make something that is totally unique to your culture and to your territory. Okay, let's go
02:26So now you'll have one hour to cook your elevated watch party dishes now Dave you're probably
02:33Wondering about your advantage. I am indeed well tonight in true FIFA World Cup spirits you get to use a
02:42red card
02:45At halftime you'll get to choose one cook who will be benched from this challenge
02:51Oh
02:55That means whoever you hit with the red card
02:58Will be safe from elimination tonight
03:01But Dave if you get rid of a territories best cook the chances of that territory getting a win tonight
03:09go way down
03:10Or you could decide to use that red card on someone from your own territory. That's looking like they're in
03:16trouble. Okay
03:17Thank you. It's a big decision to pull someone out of a cook, but it can be used I think
03:23in a really strategic way
03:24So tonight. I really want to make the right decision
03:27Here's the good news the immunity pin is back in play again tonight
03:32Whoever cooks the best dish this evening not only does it save you but it saves your entire territory from
03:38elimination
03:39And as a special bonus our incredible partners at Home Depot are giving the winner of tonight's challenge an incredible
03:46gift card
03:47worth
03:47$2,500 how cool is that
03:53If I got the $2,500 from Home Depot, I would pass it on to my husband because he lives
03:58at Home Depot
03:58We always joke about it because he goes to Home Depot every other day, so I would love that
04:04But whoever cooks the worst dish sadly will be going home, right? You guys ready?
04:11Your 60 minutes start now
04:25Come on Peter. Let's do it. Let's do it
04:33So I'm gonna be doing a marinated carne asada with a charred corn salad, but that's your quintessential Mexican backyard
04:41barbecue
04:41Let's go. Let's go. Let's go
04:44Let's do it
04:49Okay, let's go
04:55I wrestle so I love to throw my own watch parties and I love to just treat my friends because
05:01they're treating me by watching me
05:03Um, so today I'm doing the lobster with a corn rib and garlic mashed potatoes in Barbados
05:10We love the scotch bonnet. So I'm bringing that spice and I'm gonna get that top dish tonight
05:15Come on guys. You got this
05:18Tonight I'm making a chicken boti kebab with a side of Bengali style palau which is essentially rice soaked in
05:24a milk
05:25I have this dish at watch parties with Bengalis and Pakistanis. You won't leave hungry from that watch party
05:32How exciting is this an amazing World Cup cook-off challenge my favorite things watching soccer and eating great food
05:39at the same time?
05:40Yeah, I think the spices and the flavors that they can bring in from their territory is so important here
05:46And I think you need to have something that has a little bit of either smoke or fire, you know
05:51So I see a lot of marinating happening already whether it be chicken steaks seafood a lot of people doing
05:57dry rubs
05:58That's a good sign. Come on Africa. It looks good already. Okay. You got this tonight. It's not the night
06:04to play it safe
06:04Right there is that incredible immunity pin and then of course you've got Dave with that red card
06:10This is gonna be a tough decision. I mean, this is a hard one because you could be doing extraordinary
06:15And then Dave has the opportunity to knock you out
06:18Exactly he could save somebody who's struggling the one is working so fast
06:26Perfect
06:29Hey shoot, what are you making? I am making curry lamb chops. Okay, awesome. Thank you. Sounds delicious. Gonna be
06:36great
06:36I love the fact that Dave is now asking the contestants and what are they making so already? He's plotting
06:42his next move smart
06:44It's being strategic guys with 10 minutes down
06:4715 minutes remaining. Let's go
06:50Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go
06:53Rita
06:54Hi, hello. How are we doing? What did you grab protein wise?
06:57Um, fillet
06:58Oh, I love that
06:59Yeah
06:59Tell me about the dish. How are you gonna elevate this?
07:01So I'm going to do some NGLC spice
07:03Which is three nuts, can, sloth the baby cow
07:06And then I'm gonna do some scotch bonnet sauce
07:08Good. How many times at home would you host a party like this?
07:12A lot. We tend to do like barbecue for my parties
07:14Um, how nice would it be to win that gift card from Home Depot tonight?
07:19Amazing. I have a big backyard in New York, so I definitely want it. So I need to win right
07:23now
07:24Um, now that filet mignon, okay? Unforgiven. You got a really good sear on there
07:29Make sure you're basting with lots of butter and that soy spice as well
07:33Yes, yes
07:34Elevate this thing. Good luck
07:35Come on Asia
07:38Let's go. Let's go
07:39Hey Jamie
07:40Hi Chef Tiffany. How are you?
07:42Good. I was about to say what you're cooking, but there's nothing in this pot yet
07:45I know
07:45What are you making?
07:46I'm making a roti kanai with a Malaysian coconut curry
07:50And then I'm gonna do some rice and a pickled cucumber and pineapple salad
07:54Wow, you got a lot of work to do
07:56Yeah, I do
07:56What does, um, you said roti kanai?
07:59Yeah, roti kanai
08:00What does that mean?
08:01It's like a flaky flatbread that we eat in Malaysia
08:03Okay
08:04Very popular
08:05Usually it takes a few hours to rest and make, so
08:08So is that a good idea to make today?
08:10In my cheat meals, I'll try to do it in an hour
08:11So sometimes it works out
08:12Okay, okay
08:13But I'll try my best for today
08:14And so you still have to make your curry, you still have to cook your chickens
08:17Yes
08:17You still have cucumbers
08:18The curry cooks really fast
08:20Okay
08:20It's something I've cooked a lot at home
08:21Okay
08:21And my dad used to make it for me before he would, like, leave for work
08:24And he actually, like, worked at Home Depot
08:26Oh, that's awesome
08:26Yeah, so I feel a lot of pressure to do a good job today
08:29Wow
08:30There's a lot on the line, so make sure the dough has enough time to rest
08:34I will try my best
08:35All right, good luck
08:38I'm feeling a lot of pressure just because this dish means so much to me
08:42Oh my gosh
08:43I have to win this challenge for my dad
08:46But there's so many components for me to perfect
08:49And I'm freaking out because I have so little time to get everything done
08:54Oh my gosh
09:03All right
09:04How you doing over there, Jamie?
09:06I don't know
09:07I literally do not know
09:09You got it
09:09You got it, you got it
09:09Team, you're feeling good?
09:11Confident?
09:11Yeah, oh, fantastic, bro
09:12Nothing better
09:13I've been given a red card as my advantage
09:15Which means that at the 30-minute mark
09:17I can use it to take anyone out of the cook to bench them
09:20That needs to cook down tremendously
09:23Brittany could be a big contender
09:25I can use my red card to take out what I think may be a top dish from one of
09:29the other territories
09:30Making their team more vulnerable
09:32Let's go
09:33Or save someone from our team
09:35But it puts two cooks on Team Africa in a tricky situation
09:38Because someone's going to be at the top and someone is going to be inevitably at the bottom
09:42So it's making my decision tough
09:45So today I'm making a spice ribeye
09:48And I'm pairing it with a piri piri butter
09:50For my size, I'm going to have fried plantains, fondant potatoes, and a bold sauce, of course
09:56You know, Nigeria's all about their bold sauces and stews
09:58We're a big sports family, so we're always having events and games
10:01And so watch parties are right up my alley
10:04Guys, we're down to 14 minutes remaining
10:06Come on, let's go
10:12Heidi
10:12Hello, Chef
10:13We have the braai
10:14We have the braai
10:15Tell me about the dish, what are we doing?
10:16I am making a New York strip steak
10:19Right
10:20And I'm going to do a surf and turf
10:21I'm going to do some scallops
10:22Nice
10:23A leek puree with a cauliflower
10:24And some little baby roasted potatoes
10:26Wow
10:26So rugby, as you know, is a big thing in South Africa
10:29Huge
10:29When I have 20 guys coming over, my husband's like
10:31Okay, we've got to do a braai
10:33Wow
10:33So you get up and you have everything ready
10:35And everyone's watching the World Cup
10:36And we know how good that bloody team are
10:38Sorry to break that
10:39No, no, it's all good, it's all good
10:40I love the clash between spring rolls
10:42But you guys are good
10:43England's got a good team as well
10:44Scotland
10:44Sorry, Scotland
10:45Scotland is a better team actually
10:48So elevation, how are we going to get this thing up?
10:50My sauce
10:51So we're going to do a nice mustard, peppercorn sauce
10:53This sounds amazing
10:54Get them right
10:55It could be an immunity pin dish
10:57Okay
10:58Think about it
10:58I'm on it
10:59Yes
10:59Thank you, thank you chef
11:02Hey Julia, what are you making?
11:03Hi Joe, I am making seared scallops with a grilled eggplant puree and a fennel salad
11:09Okay, you've got to be careful to get them cooked through but not overcooked them
11:12And you want a nice caramelization on the scallops
11:14Yes, perfect
11:15So this is a pretty elevated dish for a watch party
11:17When I was playing soccer, I played soccer at Illinois
11:19Mm-hmm
11:20My family, they would have watch parties and they would always send me pictures of whatever they were eating
11:24And they'd be eating a lot of lobster, fish, scallops
11:27Seared scallop, do you think that's a good strategy? Would it distinguish you?
11:29I think it's very hard to sear scallops and I think high risk, high reward
11:33Good luck
11:34Thank you
11:35Hey Takaya
11:36Hi chef, how are you today?
11:38I'm good, what you got here?
11:40Good, so I have a coconut rice, Jamaican Escovish fish and vegetable
11:44What's vegetable?
11:46Um, sweet, savory dough that we make in Jamaica
11:49It's made with flour, corn milk
11:51You sound like a hush puppy
11:53Almost, we call it vegetable
11:55Is this something that you would normally have at like a watch party or are you kind of pushing the
12:01envelope here?
12:02I think in Caribbean households, especially a Jamaican household, fish is just one of those dishes that we have
12:07All right
12:08I want you to check the pepper
12:10Okay
12:11I taste the spice, but it does feel like you're missing something else in there
12:14Okay, got it
12:15But adjust your flavor
12:16Okay, perfect
12:17Good luck, Takaya
12:18Just five minutes till halftime, five minutes left
12:22Somebody is getting that red card
12:24Oh, Mr. Rassmer
12:28I forget that, and I'm scared
12:31Wow, Rita from Team Africa
12:33Is in trouble, okay
12:34Um, so she's doing a filet mignon
12:36And it's not even cooked yet, so
12:38Yeah, I'm nervous
12:39Oh, my
12:41Rita, how are you cooking that steak?
12:43In the pan?
12:45Yeah
12:45Is it gonna go in the oven?
12:46No
12:46Okay, just watch the time, you're gonna need to let that rest
12:49Yeah, I'm gonna stop cooking it right now
12:51Oh
12:52Rita looks stressed
12:53We're getting closer to halftime
12:54And it's actually kind of an intense experience
12:57I'm still not entirely sure which strategy I'm going to use
13:02Asia-Pacific
13:03Their team is fully intact
13:04There's five of them
13:05And I could potentially take out one of their top cooks
13:08Ooh, smells good
13:11The Americas also has some really strong cooks
13:15I could bench someone
13:16And potentially weaken their territory
13:18A little bit more
13:22On the other hand, Europe tonight
13:24They're giving enough hectic energy on their own
13:27And I think that that will work out itself
13:30Hey, what the hell is this?
13:31Come on, yo
13:32Nico, you good?
13:33Yeah, I'm alright
13:34He's gotta cook the steak now
13:36Which is my life
13:37Oh, my God
13:37What am I doing?
13:39What am I doing?
13:40I'm doing it
13:42Five
13:43Four
13:44Three
13:45Two
13:45One
13:46Stop the clock
13:48All of you, hands up
13:49It's halftime, guys
13:51Dave, make your way down
13:55Please
13:56Thank you
13:56That is for you
13:57Thank you
13:58Dave, it's time for you to use your red card
14:02Off you go
14:03Yes
14:08Oh, my God
14:12Wow
14:22Oh, my God
14:30Oh, my God
14:33Oh, my God
14:34Oh, my God
14:53Rita
14:55Oh, my God
14:57Oh, my God
15:01Oh, my God
15:04Oh, my God
15:14He's saving her
15:15He's saving her
15:16Come in with me, you're safe
15:18Okay, restart the clock
15:20Right
15:21The second half is underway
15:22Let's go
15:2330 minutes remaining
15:24Let's go
15:26Come on, we're safe
15:27We're safe
15:27I got you
15:28Hey
15:29Dave's decision
15:30Dave's decision
15:30It sucks
15:30Because there's only two people cooking in Team Africa tonight
15:34So that just means automatically somebody's gonna be in the top and somebody's gonna be in the bottom
15:38But I'm not gonna let it get into my head, I'm gonna lock in and get top dish
15:42No
15:43Thank you
15:44Thank you
15:45Thank you
15:45It's not an easy decision
15:46I was so stressed about it
15:48I know it's not
15:48Like, I could see it in your face
15:50I don't understand why Dave used the red card on me
15:52I'm grateful that I did it because I'm safe and I'm gonna, you know, get to cook another day
15:57Thank you very much
16:0125 minutes remaining
16:02Come on, guys
16:03Let's go, let's go, let's go
16:05Hold
16:06All right
16:08No
16:09How are those plantains? Are they crisping up?
16:11Oh, they're getting there
16:13I don't think anyone from our team is gonna go home, do you?
16:16I don't think so
16:17I really feel like by giving Rita the red card, I'm preserving Team Africa because I knew that she was
16:24really struggling
16:24Haydee, how you feeling?
16:25I'm feeling good, how you doing?
16:27I'm good
16:27My decision puts both Peter and Haydee in a tricky situation, but I think they are both strong cooks
16:33I don't think either of them are going home tonight
16:35We do the baits we can
16:36We will be all right
16:40Dude, skewering these things is like the most painstaking process ever
16:44Hello, all right, Nico, what do you got?
16:46Ciao, Joe
16:47I'm making chicken skewers
16:48I'm gonna grill them and then make a peperonata on the bottom and some polenta
16:51This is kind of classic, uh, Northern Italian dish
16:54So you have to be careful because this is very small pieces of chicken
16:57You think you have the right balance between fat and chicken
17:00So that you can get the fat crispy and the chicken not overcooked
17:03Hopefully the chicken thighs take longer to cook
17:05Okay
17:05So it renders
17:06I mean, you need that fat
17:07Yes, Chef
17:07If not, it'll be dry, but just get it of a balance
17:10Okay, sounds good
17:10Oh, I'm so lost
17:17Oh my God
17:18Daniel!
17:19What's up, Gordon?
17:19Tell me about the dish first, what are you doing?
17:21Yeah, so I'm gonna do an orange glazed chicken
17:22And that's gonna go with a chili fried eggplant
17:24I love to make chicken wings
17:26It's one of my favorite foods of all time
17:27If you're gonna give us a chicken wing on a night like tonight
17:29It needs to be exceptional, right?
17:30It won't be exceptional, Chef
17:31Let's go, bud
17:32Thank you
17:33Let's go
17:37There we go
17:39Oh my gosh, how are you
17:41Hey, Maria
17:42Hello, how are you, Chef?
17:43I'm good
17:44You look a little stressed
17:45You all right?
17:46I ate myself
17:46A little bit
17:47Okay, what are you making?
17:48I'm making flank steaks also
17:51I'm serving over mashed potatoes
17:53The only thing I'm concerned is like
17:55The texture or the
17:57The texture
17:57Is it supposed to be this thin?
17:58Yeah, I want it to be thin
17:59Like so I can spread around the plate
18:03Okay, that's different
18:05Yeah, I want it a little bit
18:07A little bit thicker than this
18:09Make sure that it's where you want it to be
18:11Yeah
18:12Okay, okay
18:13Here, your meat
18:13What's the temp you're going for?
18:15Medium to medium rare, I'm hoping
18:17Did you temp?
18:18I just eyeballed
18:19Okay
18:20I just did it eight minutes
18:20The longest time I've been cooking this way
18:22But I know I need to
18:24Well, we're in MasterChef kitchen
18:24I need to check
18:25And you're not at home
18:26You're not cooking with your stoves
18:27And your ovens
18:28And you just want to make sure
18:29It's where you want it to be
18:30Absolutely, yes
18:31Okay, good luck
18:31Absolutely, thank you, Maria
18:32Thank you, thank you very much
18:38Oh my God, what happened?
18:43Seven minutes remaining
18:45Guys, come on
18:47Very good
18:48Very good
18:49Your meat should be seared, resting
18:52And start thinking about the execution
18:55Nico
18:56Why are you laughing?
18:58Because I'm not there yet, Chef
18:59Come on, you got this
19:00So Nico is doing rosticini from the region of Abruzzo
19:04It's basically a skewer with the thigh meat of chicken
19:07And he puts it into
19:08Disperses it
19:09A piece of chicken fat
19:10A piece of meat
19:11On the skewer
19:13Alley
19:13There we go
19:14But the worrying thing is
19:15He's cut the thigh into these tiny little morsels
19:17So it's going to overcook
19:19Yeah, that's what he's doing
19:22Guys, there's only a few minutes left to go
19:24And Jamie is still cooking that roadie
19:26Oh boy
19:27You guys are not sup
19:30So Maria from Team Americas
19:32Has this dish where she's using flank steak
19:35But one, when I asked her how does she cook the flank steak
19:37She says, I just cook it, I don't temp it
19:39The other thing is the potatoes are done in a blender
19:42Oh no
19:43And we all know what you're going to get
19:45Gloopy
19:49Guys, two minutes to go
19:50Let's go and start plating
19:51Haiti, time to start plating
19:53Yes sir
19:53Come on, Africa
19:54It's up to the two of you down there
19:56Come on, get it on the plate
19:58Oh my gosh
20:03Come on, Asia Pacific
20:0460 seconds to go
20:05Come on guys
20:07Let's go
20:07I'm always so shaky during this part
20:09Quick, come on guys
20:11Nice
20:11Let's go
20:13Please, let's go
20:13Five
20:15Four
20:16Three
20:17Two
20:18One
20:18Stop, hands in the air
20:23Let's go Africa
20:24Let's go
20:26Yeah buddy
20:29Oh, I mean, how am I competing with this?
20:32Yours looks beautiful
20:33No competing
20:34Do you think either of their dishes are going to be strong enough for the immunity pin?
20:39Mm
20:40Mm
20:42Ay, ay, ay
20:43Not how I expected, but it's okay
20:45Julia, I wanted to serve this so bad, but I was like, you know what?
20:50How is it?
20:51The cook is perfect
20:52What I care about right now is I'm not the worst dish, that's what I'm praying for
20:55No, no
20:56That's all I'm praying
20:57That's what I think I'm lying to, so
21:00We finished
21:01Come on, double up
21:02Good job
21:03I've definitely made this dish better
21:05I just know like the level I could be at
21:12This dish just means a lot to me and I want to do a good job
21:16Home Depot is really close to my heart because my dad worked there for my whole life
21:22And he worked so hard, so
21:24I just wanted it to be perfect
21:27You're okay, you're okay
21:34Right, all of you well done, let's see whose dishes are the real party heroes
21:39And whose dishes needed a little bit more help
21:44Let's go
21:47Mmm
21:52Hello chefs
21:53Hello Brittany
21:54All right, so you did lobster, correct?
21:57Yes
21:57Well lobster is a tricky protein, if you nailed it right, it could be good
22:00Yes
22:02Thank you
22:05Hello Maria
22:05Hello
22:06Was that the temp you were looking for with your steak?
22:09Yes, medium, rare to medium
22:11Okay
22:11I wasn't really happy with the way the mashed potato came out
22:15I want a creamier, but not as thin
22:19Got it
22:21All right
22:22All right, Takaya
22:22Did this work out the way you wanted it?
22:24Um, yes, I feel like it did
22:27Okay
22:28All right
22:29Thank you
22:32Hello chefs
22:33Heidi
22:34Heidi
22:34Yes sir
22:34The dish, is that what you wanted at the end, presentation wise?
22:37Yes it is
22:38I am nervous because there's only two of us for Team Africa
22:42So it's going to be a battle to see who's at the top and who's at the bottom
22:45All right, Peter
22:46Joe
22:47Well that's a big hunk of meat you put on the plate
22:49What kind of temperature are you hoping for?
22:51Medium, right
22:51Very interesting
22:56Hey, Agatha
22:56Hi
22:57Is this how you wanted this to look for presentation?
23:00Yes
23:02I'm looking down, I'm seeing my dish
23:04It's not my strongest cook for sure
23:05But I'm looking around, I'm seeing dishes that are way worse than mine
23:08The rest of Europe looks pretty bad
23:09So hopefully that's enough to get me through
23:12There's two skewers?
23:13Yeah, I
23:14There's three of us
23:15Yeah, I wanted to do three and then I left one in the pan too long
23:18Thank you
23:23Hey Daniel, so we got some wings
23:25Mm-hmm
23:25I think it turned out well
23:30Jamie, so you did your pan bread technique
23:33Yes
23:34And this is your curry
23:36Yeah
23:36I added some like curry, turmeric, shallots, onion
23:40Okay, thank you
23:48Some great dishes
23:49Yeah
23:50Really good dishes
23:52It's tough
23:53Some very strange plating
23:55I think when they're trying to elevate they didn't know where to go with that
23:59We good?
24:01Shall we?
24:01Yeah
24:03Okay
24:05Let's begin with the top dishes from each territory, shall we?
24:09From Team Asia Pacific
24:11Please step forward
24:17Jamie
24:21I'm so surprised and I'm so happy and proud of myself
24:25I cannot believe that the judges think that my dish is a top dish
24:28I made a roti kanai with Malaysian curry, coconut rice and cucumber and pineapple salad
24:36When I saw Home Depot and watch party, I thought of the big gatherings my dad would throw at my
24:41family
24:42It looks beautiful
24:43Jamie, what I'm most impressed with is traditionally that takes hours to make
24:46The fact that you had the confidence to attempt it tonight
24:49I'm just happy for you
24:51Thank you, chef
24:52Shall we?
24:52Yes
24:53Nice
24:56Mmm
25:01Wow
25:02Curry delicious
25:03It's fragrant
25:04It's warm
25:05It's sour
25:06It's everything you want
25:06I mean, it feels like you've been making it for the last six hours
25:09Well done
25:09Thank you
25:10The key for me here is the pineapple
25:12You kind of get a bite of the mint with the pineapple and the curry
25:16And it all goes so nicely together
25:18Beautiful roti
25:20Spot on
25:20Very nice
25:21Thank you
25:22It's a perfect watch party
25:23The three of us watching you cook an excellent dish
25:25Thank you, Joe
25:26Thank you
25:27Good job
25:27Thank you
25:28Thank you
25:29Go, Jamie!
25:31Wow, delicious
25:32Yeah
25:33Really good to eat
25:35Okay, the top dish from Europe
25:38Please come forward
25:41Julia
25:43I knew it, girl
25:46I got a top dish for Team Europe
25:48It's my first time up there
25:49I'm feeling so excited
25:52So today I made pan-seared scallops, eggplant puree, fennel salad, and a lemon caper sauce
25:59Definitely not something I've had at a watch party, but I'm not mad if it ever shows up
26:04This looks beautiful
26:05The sear of the scallops looks great
26:07Thank you
26:08Let's try it
26:11Perfect
26:12Perfect
26:21Wow
26:22This is a very good dish, Julia
26:25It is delicious, the caper sauce
26:28I want more of that
26:30Good job
26:30Thank you, Chef
26:31The idea of roasting or almost caramelizing eggplant and then making a puree is very unusual, but it's very well
26:39done
26:39Excellent dish
26:40Good job
26:40Good job
26:41Yeah, we're looking for the best dish of the night and that is definitely up there
26:45Well done
26:45Good job
26:46Thank you
26:46Good job
26:48Thank you
26:48Yeah
26:50Oh, I'm sweating
26:51I'm really sweating
26:53Now, Team Africa only has two cooks eligible since Rita got the red card
27:00So, please come forward
27:02So, please come forward
27:03Heidi
27:07Obviously, I feel great, feels good to be back up here
27:10Got you, Peter
27:11But part of me obviously doesn't feel great because I know that means Peter's dish is going to be on
27:16the bottom
27:17But if I get that immunity pin, I keep Peter's safe
27:19Today, I made for you a big new lobster steak with a creamy pepper sauce, seared scallops, cauliflower, leek puree
27:27and some roasted potatoes
27:28It looks delicious, listen, you cook with poise, there's no two ways about that
27:31It looks so good
27:32Thank you, Chef
27:33Shall we?
27:41Heidi, steak is cooked beautifully
27:43Puree is delicious
27:44Sauce, nice
27:45Scallops, 30 seconds overcooked
27:47Okay
27:47Just be careful of that
27:48But it is a well-rounded dish
27:50Thank you
27:51Heidi, you do so much work
27:53The puree is silky
27:54I think this is a really nice play on a surf and turf
27:57Thank you, Chef Tiffany
27:58Thank you
27:58This is the kind of dish that at least I would go through and I would literally lick the plate
28:04with a piece of bread at the end
28:05Because I really liked it
28:07Thank you, Jai, I appreciate that
28:08Good job
28:09Thank you
28:09Thank you
28:12Heidi
28:15She's really good
28:18Right, to wrap things up, we have the top dish from the Americas
28:23Please step forward
28:26To Kaya
28:27All right
28:29Good job
28:30Good job
28:31Good job
28:31I haven't had a top dish since the very first challenge, so to be back up there, it's an amazing
28:37feeling
28:37Takaya, describe the dish, please
28:39I made a escovich fish with festival and coconut cream rice
28:43Wow
28:44It looks so inviting, great cereal and the snapper, it really is elevated
28:48Thank you, Chef
28:49Shall we?
28:50Let's do it
28:59Takaya, fish is cooked beautifully
29:00It's listening, it's crispy on the outside
29:02Be careful of the textures of your fried element
29:05The festival needs some more moisture in there, some more liquid in there
29:08But it's good
29:09We can taste how much it means to you
29:10Because it is delicious
29:11Yeah
29:12Thank you, Chef
29:12I love the fish
29:14Skin crispy, seasoned well
29:16And the rice itself, it has beautiful flavor
29:19Thank you, Chef
29:20I love the spice and all these contrasts of flavors and textures on my palate
29:25Thank you
29:26Great job
29:27Thank you, Chef
29:29Let's go
29:29Woo
29:32Come on, Mel
29:34Ladies, please give us a moment, thank you
29:37Four amazing dishes
29:38Yeah
29:40I think it's the tightest so far
29:42Yeah
29:42That's good, the level's very high
29:43Oh my gosh, this is so crazy
29:47Any greens?
29:48Yeah
29:51Jamie, Julia, Hailey and Takaya, well done
29:53The good news is that all four of you are safe from elimination, congratulations
29:57Thank you
29:59Woo
30:01Now, Joe, Tiffany, myself feel that the best dish of the night was cooked by
30:18The best dish of the night was cooked by
30:28Jamie
30:28Jamie
30:31I cannot believe it, what?
30:34Thank you
30:35Thank you
30:35Thank you
30:36You get the immunity pin
30:38Woo
30:39Woo
30:40Plus the $2,500 gift card
30:43Oh my god
30:44Oh my god
30:45Oh my god
30:46Oh my god
30:51Oh
30:52How cool is that?
30:53I'm...
30:54I'm really proud of myself for the first time in a while
30:57Amazing
30:58Come here
30:59Thank you
30:59Jamie
31:02Well done
31:03Really well done
31:03Congratulations
31:04Thank you, Chef
31:04Right, ladies, head back to the stations
31:06Jamie, head on up into the balcony
31:09And take the rest of the team
31:11Asia-Pacific
31:12Come here
31:12Let's go
31:13Woo
31:14Wow, Asia-Pacific again saved all five
31:17To win on a night where I'm honoring my parents for all their hard work
31:20And to get the $2,500 from Home Depot
31:23It's incredible
31:24I'm confident that I made my mom and dad proud tonight
31:27Asia-Pacific, that is the second win of the season
31:31Good job
31:32Now, to the bottom dishes of the night
31:36The bottom dish from Teen Europe tonight
31:39Please step forward
31:43Nico
31:44Oh my god
31:45What the hell?
31:46Oh my god
31:47I gotta say
31:49That's brutal
31:50It's extremely embarrassing to be in the bottom three times in a row
31:53But tonight, my heart is on my plate
31:55And I'm really hoping that they notice that
31:57Because I'm not ready to go home
31:58So, I've made chicken skewers with a pepperonata base and polenta
32:04It looks like, um, a watch party where the budget was real tight
32:09Oh my god
32:11If I'm coming to have some skewers
32:13I want more
32:15It looks like someone's already taken a bite, right?
32:18Yeah
32:18That's one
32:20And trust me, I am not on a diet
32:23Well, that's not happening, is it?
32:26There must be 30 grams of chicken on that whole plate
32:28It's nothing
32:37Nico, first of all, the actual chicken skin is nice and crispy
32:40It's delicious, I love that fat
32:41But the problem you've got here is you've cut the chicken so small, it's actually dried out
32:45Why did he do that?
32:47The idea here works, you just need to execute it better
32:50Got it
32:51If you're gonna put polenta on a plate, like, let it sing, let's have some flavor
32:55I think, Nico, this dish is emblematic of what we've seen from you in this kitchen
33:00Like, moments of brilliance surrounded by lack of technique
33:05The pepperonata is textbook, that's a difficult thing to do
33:09But then, you're putting on pieces of chicken this big
33:12Yeah
33:12The main ingredient that's lacking in this dish is your mind
33:16Yeah
33:17Oh my God
33:18Thank you, Nico
33:19Thank you
33:24Okay, the bottom dish for Team Africa
33:28You know who you are
33:29I'm for it, Peter
33:32I'm in the bottom by default, and it is so frustrating
33:35Although I'm confident in my dish, once you're in the bottom, there's no room for error
33:39If there was ever a time to have the perfect cook of my steak, it's right now
33:43Today I have a piri piri spice ribeye, final potatoes, plantain chips, and a buka stew to dip it in
33:50For me, a watch party always has a protein and it's always got chips and dips
33:54Let's deal with the elephant in the room
33:55You are here by default, you understand?
33:57Yes, Chef
33:58Get your head up
33:58Dish doesn't look bad, it looks good
34:01But if it is the worst tasting dish tonight, and if that steak is undercooked, it could send you home
34:07Yes, Chef
34:11Shall we?
34:12Yeah
34:12The temperature?
34:14Uh, medium rare, Chef
34:15Medium rare
34:16Let's find out, shall we?
34:38That is a medium rare
34:42Perfect
34:53first of all steaks cooked beautifully and the sauce is spicy and everything you want
34:59this is a really good dish thanks chef the sauce itself the the chips and the dip is just fun
35:05for me for you to be here with this dish doesn't quite feel right but it is what it is
35:10yes chef this dish would have never been in the bottom three
35:15thank you thank you judges
35:21as for the bottom dish from team americas please come forward maria
35:30i feel really upset right now because i know i can do better this dish is not even something that
35:36i
35:36would serve to my family at home and this is so embarrassing right now this is um a flank steak
35:42served with a vinaigrette brazilian salad turmeric mushrooms and mashed potatoes maria it looks sad
35:49it looks like it was rushed it's unfinished and it's just so unlike you i'm so sorry shall we
36:04oh maria um oh dear um the salsa is good the flank steak sadly is overcooked and honestly that mashed
36:13potato is like my granddad's wallpaper glue i don't say this lightly but i'm in shock
36:20i'm sorry i'm disappointed in myself 100 the salad is tasty uh the mushrooms they have some flavor
36:27but you really didn't lean into the challenge today apologize this would be a great dish for me to eat
36:35if i was in a brazilian hospital
36:39thank you maria
36:41you're in the cash
36:47nico peter and maria uh excuse us please
36:53oh boy elevated watch party that was tonight's task um from team africa peter he wouldn't have been
37:01in the bottom three i don't think no for not that technicality smart move dave saving rita
37:06maria maria i'm shocked i mean the fact that she knew the challenge that it needed to be elevated
37:12and still served a sort of school plate looking food i think she's getting in her head at nico
37:19oh a bit of a disaster there were just basics and techniques that he just continues to miss the mark
37:24on i can't i can't take this out of there i feel like it might be maria but nico's also
37:31been
37:32in the bottom two times already win agreeance yes shall we let's go
37:44nico peter maria i'm going to cut to the chase
37:48peter step forward
37:51all three of us agree unanimously you did not cook the worst dish
37:55so you are safe from elimination please head back to your station
38:06nico peter maria
38:08unfortunately for one of you this is the end of your master chef journey

38:27maria say goodbye to nico and head back to your bench please
38:37nico listen young man you came into this competition you blew us all away

38:44terms of your experience however clearly born to cook now put your head down and continue learning
38:50i kind of came into this with like this grandiose attitude i feel like you guys could tell too but
38:54it's been like one of the most not only fun but also humbling experiences i've ever had come and
39:00say goodbye yeah i'm definitely disappointed i really came in thinking or not even thinking
39:05like knowing i was going to win this whole thing but this competition ended up being a lot harder than
39:08i thought it was going to be look out to yourself coming up short tonight makes me feel quite
39:11disappointed in myself give it up for nico everybody come on
39:19the nico that came in this competition and the nico leaving is definitely not the same that's for
39:23sure i feel like i've grown a little bit obviously it's a letdown to not win but
39:28i'm still going to pursue my food dream so i'm leaving today super excited for what the future holds
39:38right now the master chef kitchen is going to take a time out for the fifa world cup
39:44that is such a long time but after the final whistle is blown the master chef global gauntlet really
