The chefs were tested on their ability to adapt as they were challenged to cook with new ingredients AS they were already preparing their dishes. While many dishes were rather disappointing, some were able to please Chef Ramsay. It was the closest challenge yet, and the final score was a tie. Chef Damsay retasted the standout dishes from each team, belonging to Marge on the red and Tommy on the blue. Ultimately, the best dish belonged to Marge, who won the challenge for her team.
In dinner service, The Blue Kitchen had minor hiccups. However, the Red Kitchen was obviously worse with Zach pushing back appetizers, Beth sinking meat, and Marge miscommunicating on garnish. The Red Team lost, and were asked to nominate 2 for elimination.
However, at the elimination ceremony, the Red Team was unable to decide between Beth, Marge and Zach, so Chef Ramsay decided to hear from all three. In the end, it was Zach who was forced to say goodbye to his dream of becoming the Head Chef at La Repas Rose in Los Angeles and winning a quarter of a million dollars.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: At some point in this competition, I wanted for you to work with fresh ingredientsโฆ and it does not get any fresher than this! Iโd like for you to put these animals back into their pens. The first team to do so wins! GO!
Both teams attempt to put the animals back into their respective pens, but in the end, the Red Team ends up doing it faster.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Red Team, well done! You have wonโฆ

You will making 5 stunning dishes using proteins from the animals youโve just handled. Thatโs one lamb, beef, pork, veal and chicken dish.

Both teams decide who will cook what and cook their dishes to the best of their ability. The Red Team attempts to make the most out of their 5 minute advantage.
Eventually, all the dishes are ready to present.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Right. I have invited a special guest judge to help me judge your dishes today. After we taste each dish, we will each score it on a scale of 1 to 5. The team with the most points wins the challenge.
โญ๏ธ First: The Battle of the Lamb (Ty vs. Tommy)
Tyโs dish has ended up being raw. Chef Ramsay and the guest judge both automatically give it a 1 each.
Tommyโs dish, while not perfect, has been cooked properly. The guest judge gives it a 4 while Chef Ramsay gives it a 3.

๐ต 7
โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Beef (Thammy vs. Bella)
Thammyโs dish is near perfect. It is praised for having flavor, being cooked beautifully and being visually stunning. Thammy receives a perfect 5 from both judges.
Bellaโs dish is also cooked beautifully and is visually stunning. However, while the guest judge gives it a 5, Chef Ramsay gives it a 4, making it fall just short of Thammyโs dish.
๐ด 12
๐ต 16
โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Pork (Allen vs. Rico)
Allenโs dish is slightly overcooked. It also has questionable presentation. The guest judge gives it a 3 while Chef Ramsay gives it a 2.
Ricoโs dish is a solid effort. It has a lot of bold flavors. Both judges give it a 4.
๐ด 17
๐ต 24
โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Veal (Beth vs. Bart)
Bethโs dish is found to be lacking in flavor. Both judges give it a 2.
The judges do find flavor in Bartโs dish, but his presentation is heavily criticized. Both judges give it a 3.
๐ด 21
๐ต 30
With only one dish left from each team, the Red Team cannot catch up to the Blue Teamโs score even if Marge gets perfect 5โs.
โญ๏ธ Last: The Battle of the Chicken (Marge vs. Archie and Kenia)
Margeโs dish is a huge disappointment, having been heavily overcooked. Chef Ramsay gives it a 1 while the guest judge gives it a 2.
Archie and Keniaโs dish, in heavy contrast, is raw. It gets 1โs from both judges.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Blue team, congratulations on finally winning your first challenge! And let me tell you, you picked a very good day to win. Iโve arranged for you all to go surfing! Youโll meet with an instructor for surfing lessons in your own private environment, and halfway through youโll be treated to an amazing lunch. Go upstairs and get changed, youโre leaving right now!
Because no one on the Red Team has a punishment pass to use, the Blue Team immediately goes upstairs to get ready for their reward.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Red teamโฆ after 9 challenge wins, your winning streak is over. And let me tell you, today is not a day that you wanted to lose. Today, youโre going to be cleaning and picking up after all the farm animals outside. Itโs going to be tedious. My advice is to breathe through your mouth. Afterwards I want you to prep for both kitchens ahead of tonightโs service. Understood?
๐ด Red Team: Yes, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Head upstairs, youโll be called down shortly.
The Blue Team enjoys their day of surfing while the Red Team spends the day caring for farm animals.

Rico starts off poorly on his teamโs appetizer station by sending in a soupy risotto. When asked to do it again, he makes the same mistake. Meanwhile, Ty manages to get appetizers out to the Red Teamโs diners with no problem. There is no mistake made on his station.
Rico, however, is continuing to hold up the Blue Kitchen as the Red Kitchen moves onto entrees.
As Rico fights back on appetizers, Marge overcooks 2 wellingtons while Allen overcooks a halibut, giving the Blue Team an opportunity to catch up.
At first, Kenia and Bart have a miscommunication on the timing of their dishes, and it seems that they will lose their opportunity to catch up to the Red Team. However, a chef on the Red Team makes a colossal mistake.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Beth! This is the wrong garnish. I need a SALMON garnish! This is a scallop garnish!
๐ด Beth: Oh shitโฆ uhโฆ
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Please fucking tell me you have a salmon garnish near readyโฆ
๐ด Beth: No, chef. I donโtโฆ Iโll have to make one from scratch right now.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Oh my godโฆ I have 4 dishes here ready to be sent out! Theyโre all going to die because you donโt have the garnish ready! YOU FUCKED UP THE WHOLE TICKET!
๐ด Beth: Yes, chef. I did.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: YOUโRE SHIT! YOUโRE SO FUCKING SHIT IT RIDICULOUS!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bella! Archie! Come here! I have a raw salmon, a raw halibut and rubber scallops. Who cooked them?
๐ต Bella: I cooked the salmon and halibut, Archie cooked the scallops.
๐ต Archie: I didnโt bring the scallops up! I knew they werenโt ready!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Who did, then?
๐ต Bella: I did, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Why did you bring up his scallops if he clearly didnโt tell you they were ready?
๐ต Bella: Iโฆ I donโt know, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Are you two not communicating? You NEED to work together!
๐ต Bella and Archie: Yes, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: And youโฆ you have no excuse for your raw fish. Get your shit together and stop sending me fucking rubber, otherwise you can fuck off.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Iโm extremely disappointed. This far down the line, Iโm expecting the teams to be getting stronger, and yet we seem to be experiencing the same fucking problems every service. However, despite a couple dreadful performances, there was one kitchen that was miles ahead of the other. So the winning team, if you can even call it thatโฆ

is the Red Team. Blue Team, all night you were trailing behind the Red Kitchen, and as they progressed further you kept stepping backward. We need to be making some adjustments, and quickly. Head up to the dorms, have a meeting, and decide on two individuals to put up for elimination. Now piss off.
The Blue Team heads upstairs to discuss who to eliminate. Bella is quick to say that while she messed up tonight, she feels that Archie could have been more vocal to her on the fish station. Everyone is quick to agree and while Archie argues that Bella should go up instead of him, it seems to be set that he will be the first nominee. When discussing the second nominee, Bella suggests Rico for his setbacks on appetizers. Rico is then quick to defend himself, and then says Kenia or Bart should go up due to their inconsistencies across the whole competition. Tommy agrees, not wanting to put up Rico, and says heโs voting for Archie and Kenia. Rico then agrees. While Kenia calls BS, it seems that the Blue Team has already decided.
Chef Ramsay meets with the Blue Team for elimination while the Red Team watches from the side.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: What a nightโฆ Blue Team, have you reached a decision?
๐ต Blue Team: Yes, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bart, who is the Blue Teamโs first nominee and why?
๐ต Bart: Our first nominee is Archie, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Archie?
๐ต Bart: Yes, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Why?
๐ต Bart: He did not communicate with Bella on the fish station when he needed to tonight, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Umโฆ okay. Second nominee?
๐ต Bart: Our second nominee is Kenia, chef.
Chef Ramsay now looks baffled.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: What? Kenia?
๐ต Bart: Yes, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: What did Kenia do wrong tonight?
Bart is silent for a moment.
๐ต Bart: Uhโฆ well tonight she was mostly consistent but we feel that throughout the competition she has shownโ
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: No no, stop. Stop. Right now, youโre feeding me bullshit. There were two people who absolutely sunk their stations tonight that need to be up here. And the two nominees youโve just given me are not acceptable.
The Blue Team is now looking a little embarrassed.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Rico, you know it. Bella, you know it. Both of you, step forward!
Rico and Bella step forward to face Chef Ramsay.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Rico, why should you stay in Hellโs Kitchen?
๐ต Rico: Chef, Iโve been a fighter and Iโve been a hard worker since Day 1. Iโve shown you multiple times that I have culinary talent and Iโm not even close to done showing you what I have to prove. Iโm not ready to go home, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bellaโฆ seriouslyโฆ why should you stay in Hellโs Kitchen?
๐ต Bella: I feel like Iโm starting to find my voice in that Blue Kitchen. I truly feel like Iโm finally emerging as a strong chef with this Blue Jacket on, and I feel that the Blue Team has more trust in me than the Red Team did. I donโt want to go home as Iโm just starting to reach my full potential, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Are you a better chef than Rico?
๐ต Bella: I absolutely think Iโm a better chef than Rico.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Rico, are you a better chef than Bella?
๐ต Rico: I think in the long run Iโm a better chef out of everyone here.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: I didnโt ask if you were better than everyoneโฆ I asked if you were better than Bella. Letโs rephrase the questionโฆ what separates you from Bella?
๐ต Rico: Chef, I believe Iโve been far more consistent than Bella has been and I think Iโm more capable of being a leader than Bella.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bella, what separates you from Rico?
๐ต Bella: I think Iโm far more creative that Rico, I think I have a far better palate than Rico, and in the long run I think I have a better grasp of what kind of fine dining establishment you want your head chef to run than Rico does.
Chef Ramsay takes a moment to think about his decision.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Very tough call. My decision isโฆ

Rico walks up to Chef Ramsay, takes his jacket off, and hands it to him.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Listen very carefullyโฆ you have seriously impressed me throughout this competition with your determination, your fight, and your attitude. However, deep down, I KNOW you are not ready to become my head chef.
๐ต Rico: Understood. It was a pleasure.
Rico hands his jacket to Chef Ramsay and shakes his hand.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Thank you for your hard work.
๐ต Rico: Thank you for having me, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Hold onto that attitude, itโs gonna take you where you want to go in this industry.

๐ด๐ต Everyone: No, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: So start showing me why you all are still here! And Blue Teamโฆ cut the bullshit. Next time I ask you to nominate the 2 worst chefs, you take it seriously. Understood?
๐ต Blue Team: Yes, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Now get out of here.
The chefs then head upstairs for bed. As Chef Ramsay walks up to his office, he narrates a comment on Ricoโs elimination.
โRico made it a lot farther in this competition than I thought he would. But no matter how far his drive took him, his inexperience was bound to catch up at some point.โ
Chef Ramsay hangs Ricoโs jacket, and his picture burns up.
The chefs will be challenged to make the best dish out of everyone left in a king of the hill challengeโฆ but will still be tasked with working as a team. Can the teams put their egos aside or will it be every man and woman for themselves?
Then in dinner service, can both teams finally pull it together and deliver the service Chef Ramsay is hoping to see? Or will it be so disastrous that Chef Ramsay will resort to drastic measures?
