(VB) Episode 106 - Cheesy Taste Test

This is the sixth episode of (VB) Hell's Kitchen season 1. It was published on 4th December, 2021.

## Intro

The remaining chefs slept early because of their exhausting day, and are now ready for the next challenge.

## Team Challenge

The chefs saw Chef Ramsay downstaris, and Chef Ramsay told them that one must have a good palate in order to become a great chef, and that's why he was hosting the first blind taste test. Chef Ramsay also told the chefs that not only their scoring will affect the winner of the challenge, if a chef gets three wrong, their teammates would pay for the consequence. Beside Chef Ramsay was a giant tank filled with cheese, and their teammates would be dropped in the dank if they get three wrong, but if they get all four wrong, addition cheese would be spoiled from the ceiling. After the introduction, the first two chefs who are going to test first: Q and Albert, stepped forward, while Ana and Cheese would be sitting on the tank.

Both Q and Albert answered the first ingrediant: cheese correctly, and Cheese was relieved that if Albert gets the second ingrediant right, he would not be spoiled in cheese. The next ingrediant is duck, a fairly easy one. However, Albert managed to answered it incorrectly. Q thought for long time, but her answer was also incorrect, leaving the scores 1-1. The third ingrediant is chicken, and Q answered it fast and accurate. On the other hand, Albert struggled and answered the wrong answer. The final ingrediant is challenging: macademia nuts. Q failed to answer, which leaves her a 2/4 mediocore score. Albert must answer this ingrediant correct else Cheese would be in a sticky situation. Eventually, Albert answered it correct, and both Ana and Cheese were safe from the punishment.

Next up is Soda and Cheese, while Q and Albert would be sitting on the punishment booth. Soda and Cheese both managed to get the first ingrediant right. However, Cheese failed to guess the second ingrediant: strawberries. Soda thought deeply for a long a time, and eventually get it right. It's 4-3 and they both got the third ingrediant wrong. Soda failed to indentify the final ingrediant, and Cheese must answer the last ingrediant correct in order to prevent Albert from suffering the consequences. Cheese tried her best, but failed. Albert was being thrown into the disgusting cheese pit, and he flipped Cheese off.

4-3. It's Antony and Guy's turn.(Soda and Cheese would be sitting on the punishment booth) Antony and Guy got the first two ingrediants incorrect, leaving their teammates in a dangerous situation. Antony failed the third ingrediant, and Soda fell into the cheese pit in a heartbeat. Guy also failed to indentify it, and Cheese was being aimed into the cheese pit as well. Unfortunately, Antony failed all four ingrediants and cheese started falling from the ceiling, striking Soda. Guy had redemption and at least got the final one correct, and now the scoring is 4-4.

It's the final round: Ana vs Wing. Ana's palate was really outstanding and got the first three ingrediants correct, while Wing got one out of the first two ingrediants correct. Now Wing must score a point, or the challenge will be over. Unfortunately, Wing failed, and the red team once again won the challenge; forth time in a row.

## Reward and Punishment

The red team was rewarded for a rock-climb at the best rock-climbing arena in Las Vegas.

The blue team had to clean five Gordon Ramsay restaurants before heading back to their dorms.

## Dinner Service

Before service, Chef Ramsay told the chefs that this had been the time that leaders should step up and lead the kitchen.

 Garnish
 Meat
 Fish

The red team on their first table of appetizers: 2 risotto 1 crab cake 1 scallops. Thanks to both Ana and Q, the red team had a perfect start on appetizers. Antony thought he should step up and lead the kitchen, so he told Q to take a break and let him take over the fish station. Unfortunately, Antony sent up raw scallops, and when Chef Ramsay scolded Q, Q told Chef Ramsay that Antony was taking over her station. Chef Ramsay then warned Antony not to even touch Q's station, or he would be kicked out of the kitchen.

The blue team was trying to do the same. However, Wing first sent up bland risotto, then she sent up overcooked capellini. Wing managed to recover and sent up their first appetizers after 35 minutes. Next order: 2 risottos. But Wing was obviously daydreaming and Chef Ramsay told her to wake up. Unfortunately, Wing was still not in the game and sent up burnt risotto, which Chef Ramsay told her that it was her final chance.

Antony was trying to get the wellingtons out the window, but he failed it three times in a row, and Ana was asked to assist his station. After Ana took over Antony's station, entrees was flying out of the red kitchen. Antony was now annoyed and told Ana to get away, and tried to cook the wellingtons himself. However, it was raw, and when Chef Ramsay discovered it was Antony who drived Ana away, he told Antony that if he go aganist his commands again, he would f off back home.

The blue team was now on their main courses. However, it was a failure due to Guy's overcooked lamb and Cheese's raw halibut. Chef Ramsay gave all of them a final warning, and told them if they f up once more, all of them are out.

In the red kitchen, Antony was still trying to cook the entrees, but he once again overcooked the wellingtons, and in result, Antony was forced to sit in the chef's table until the service is over.

Cheese deseperately tried to cook perfect halibut, but when she tried to sent it to the pass, Chef Ramsay discovered that both Guy and Cheese were sending up halibut. Chef Ramsay was furious and kicked the blue team out of the kitchen.

Red team barely managed to finish service after Antony was gone, but Chef Ramsay told the red team not to be so happy, and stated tonight was a disaster.

## Post-Moterm

Chef Ramsay lined up the teams and he let the sous chefs bring him the rubbish bin from both teams, and threw the rubbish into the chefs. He then said that that was how much food that they wasted, told them to nominate one chef from each team, then told them to f off.

In the red dorms, every chef thought that Antony was the one who should be going up, since every dish he made was unedible.

Albert talked to Guy that Wing should be the one leaving, while Cheese told Wing that if she is the announcer, she would definitely nominate Guy.

## Elimination

Ana was asked to tell Chef Ramsay their nominee, and Ana said Antony due to his performance. Albert was the blue team's announcer, and he told Chef Ramsay they nominate Guy. Guy was shocked because Albert had told him that he wouldn't nominate him, and he was the worst chef in the kitchen either.

Chef Ramsay called Antony and Guy to step forward. During Guy's plea, he stated that he wasn't the weakest chef among the four chefs in the blue team. And Antony said he fucked up tonight, but if Chef Ramsay save him tonight, his next service would be the best service since he had been here.

Chef Ramsay decided that Guy shall have another chance, and eliminated Antony.

Chef Ramsay told all of the chefs to piss off.

Ramsay's Comment: *"Antony tried to be a leader, but his cooking skills proved he couldn't even be a head dishwasher."*
