(Dimmock2) 15 Chefs Compete

In this episode, the fifteen chefs have to make a creative dish, one chef does not make it past service, and a team switch occurs.

## Intro

Francis said he dodged a bullet for the second time and needed to step up. Peyton said it was bullshit that she was even nominated and her team is full of shit, and now she only cares about herself. Orlando said Francis was the weakest chef, and said this is his last strike. Tanya says Peyton is getting arrogant, and needs to stop bitching about everything, or else she's next to go.

## Team Challenge

The Chefs saw one craps table, Chef Vaughan revealed the Craps Table Challenge, the chefs have to roll a dice and it will land on a dice which they have to think of a ingredient with that letter, then each team has to make a dish with those ingredients. The team with the best dish wins the challenge. David was first and landed on a S and chose salsify. Satyajeet landed on P and chose Pork Tenderloin. Timmy found that a excellent ingredient and was super happy about it. Timmy landed on B and chose bacon. Rufus Landed on L and chose lobster. Francis landed on E and chose eggplant Orlando was next and landed on C and chose cabbage. Edwin landed on M and he was struggling to think of an ingredient but finally says mango, which makes Vaughan confused. Niko was confused with Edwin and wondered why he would choose mango. Niko was last for the blue team and landed on H and chose halibut which his team celebrated. The first for the red team was Zara, who landed on P and chose parsnips, then Helga landed on R and chose radish. Next was Jayden and she rolled on a D and said duck. Tanya was happy that duck was involved because she claimed she cooked thousands of it, and is an expert at it. Tanya rolled a F, and said fish, then Lexi rolled a C which she was struggling to think of an ingredient beginning with C, she said in her mind she was thinking of carrots, which she eventually said. Meghan rolled a b and said broccolini. Last up, was Peyton and she landed on a L and said lamb.

The teams had 30 minutes to make their dish. The blue team was confused about the mango and were having a hard time but managed to sort it out and make the dish. In the red team, Peyton was shown struggling with the lobster. Helga tried to help but Peyton got frustrated, told Helga to fuck off, and said she wasn't struggling with the lamb. Helga said Peyton started being cocky while claiming she was not struggling - even though she clearly saw her struggling - and refused the help. Helga said to her she needs to cut it out with the attitude, which Peyton told her to shut the fuck up and leave her alone. Jayden stepped in and told Peyton and Helga that they need to get along and not argue or else it will be their downfall.

Eventually, they finish their dishes. The blue team's dish is a pork tenderloin, with lobster, bacon and eggplant involtini and a mango glazed salsify and a pan seared halibut. The dish was high praised for being perfectly cooked, but the mango was a let down putting it with the salsify. The red team's dish was a lamb rack, with a parsnip puree, honey glazed carrots with radish, broccolini and a duck with fish, The lobster was cooked perfectly, but the honey glazed carrots were extremely bitter, and the lamb rack was overcooked. Chef Vaughan announced the blue team as the winners.

## Reward

The blue team went skydiving. Satyajeet said he had a fear of heights and was nervous of jumping, as he had never done it before. Francis was extremely happy and was ready. Rufus said the red team keep losing the reward challenges and said they're no challenge for his team.

## Punishment

The red team had to prep both kitchens for dinner service. Peyton was complaining about losing the challenge, Meghan was getting fed up and told her to shut up and stop acting like a 5 year old. Peyton told her to piss off and both of them started arguing with each other. Helga told Peyton to stop being arrogant, and Peyton said Helga is dead to her.

## Before Service

Peyton said she was gonna kill it in service and not make any mistakes. Orlando hoped his team will have their first good service, and Timmy said to his team to communicate in tonight's service.

## Dinner Service

 **Meat** | David and Francis
 **Garnish** | Niko
 **Fish** | Orlando and Timmy
 **Tableside** | Satyajeet

Chef Vaughan tells, Maitre d' Johnathan to open Hell's Kitchen. A fruit flambe will be served by Satyajeet from the blue team, and Tanya from the red team. The first order comes in for both teams. Rufus fires risotto and sends it to the pass, which happens to be undercooked and Vaughan berates Rufus for sending undercooked risotto. Rufus sends out his second-attempt of risotto but it comes back for being undercooked again. Chef Vaughan asks the blue team what's going on and why they kept making mistakes. Rufus said he was trying, but Chef Vaughan said he was not trying enough. Rufus said he is having a complete meltdown on risotto. Meanwhile in the red team, Zara pushes meat out, and it gets accepted. Zara said she is so happy right now. Peyton serves the fish but Chef Vaughan sends the fish back for being raw. Peyton said to Chef Vaughan that it was cooked perfectly. Vaughan tells her to stop blowing smoke up her ass. Helga tries to help Peyton, but she tells Helga to leave her alone and said she has it under control. Helga said Peyton likes to talk the talk, but can never walk the walk. Helga says to Peyton let people help her if she can't do it, which Peyton gets frustrated and shouts at Helga to piss off back to where she came from, which causes both of them to have an argument. Chef Vaughan tells both of them if they both keep arguing while in the middle of service they can both fuck off. Peyton says Helga is sabotaging her and she keeps on annoying her. Back with the blue team, Rufus fires his third attempt to get the risotto out, but it gets sent back, with Vaughan calling it rice full of bullets.

Timmy said Rufus needs to bounce back, and stop making mistakes. Meanwhile Timmy sends out his fish, but it has no seasoning which he gets criticized for. Timmy expresses how embarrassed he is right now, making his first mistake on fish, but Niko starts, coordinating his team and helping them which Chef Vaughan, is impressed and praises him and also, manages to get a few risotto out in the process. Back with the Red Team, Zara sends out another lamb, and is cooked perfectly which she says she is on a roll right now. The same can't be said for the Blue Team as Rufus undercooked his risotto again, Timmy overcooked his fish, and Edwin forgot the times. Chef Vaughan gets frustrated and tells the blue team to communicate together. Back with the Red team, Meghan rushes the garnish out, but it got sent back for being bland. Chef Vaughan tells her to stop rushing, Rufus tries sending the risotto out again, but it comes back for being bland and undercooked, leading Vaughan to take the blue team into the pantry.

## Rufus's Ejection

Chef Vaughan, asked Rufus why was he screwing up on risotto and he said, he's just having a bad day which Chef Vaughan, asks him to take off his jacket and get out. Niko said he did not expect that and hoped that would not happen to him. Rufus said he's sad that he did not bounce back and he claimed he did not get support from his team, but he said he will carry on his journey and keep pushing forward.

Vaughan reminded the blue team to bounce back and wake up, Niko started emerging as a leader and coordinating his team again to finish service. Chef Vaughan praised Niko for emerging. Meanwhile, the red team started working together and serving all the appetisers out with no flaws and managed to get the hang of it. Then both kitchens finished service.

### Post-Mortem

Chef Vaughan said, both kitchens had their ups and downs but declared both teams the winners for bouncing back and no elimination, then Vaughan told Niko to switch teams with Helga and told them he hoped they could do well in their new teams then dismissed them. Niko said it was a change going into the red team but said he was ready. Satyajeet said he was shocked Rufus got eliminated, but hoped his new teammate could do well. Helga said she was excited switching teams, and hoped she could do well.

**Vaughan's comment:** *"Rufus kept making mistakes all night and struggled, I had no struggle taking his jacket."*
