(VB) Episode 102 - Satan's Birthday

This is the second episode of (VB) Hell's Kitchen season 1. It was published in 13th October, 2021.

## Intro

Back in the dorms, everyone was surprised that X was being ejected in opening night. Antony also stated that if the red team continue to work as a team, they will continue to win. With that, the contestants all went to bed.

## Team Challenge

The next morning, Chef Christina and Jason woke up the chefs and told them to go downstairs.

After Chef Ramsay announced that they were going to host a birthday party in Hell's Kitchen, they were asked to design one appetizer, one entrée and one desert in 45 minutes, and to be featured in tomorrow night's dinner service.

Albert, Mas(Blue), Guy, Lei(Red) are doing the appetizer. Super, Choco(Blue), Ana, Q(Red) are doing the entrée. Cheese, Soda(Blue), Antony, Vuclan, Wing(Red) are doing the desert.

15 minutes have gone and Albert realized that his pan was burnt and had to start everything again, while Choco thought he was very confident at his dish.

Time is up and it was time to judge. Albert's mushroom risotto was crunchy, and thus lost the chance to win. Lei's shrimp dish's presentation was dreadful, so it was also not selected for the winning dish. It's up to Mas and Guy. Mas nailed his protein, while Guy's dish is the most beautiful dish in the round. Chef Ramsay eventually chose Guy's dish, and the red team is now lead by one point.

Next up is the entree. Super's cod is cooked beautifully, but not as good as Ana's halibut. Q's lamb is good, but not as good as Ana's dish. Choco's dish is deemed the best dish so far, and earned a point for the blue team.

The desert dish will determine the winner. Cheese's cake is delicious, and her cake beat Antony and Vuclan's dish. Wing's dish will reveal the winner, as she presented her cake, Chef Ramsay noticed that it has raw flour in the bottom, and Cheese's cake took the winning point for the blue team.

## Reward and Punishment

Blue team's reward is to have fun all day in the brand new amusement park near Las Vegas, after that, they were invited to dine at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant.

It's package day and the red team need to deal with 1,500 packages that were sent to Hell's Kitchen.

## Dinner Service

 Garnish
 Meat
 Fish

Before service, Chef Ramsay told the chefs that Hell's Kitchen was hosting a birthday party, so he asked them not to screw up.

Chef Ramsay called out Blue Team's first order: two risotto two scallops. But for some reason, Mas sent the scallops up early, to make things worse, the scallops are raw. Chef Ramsay made them refire their order.

Red Team had also received their first order: two risotto one carbonara one scallops. Guy sent up his risotto and claimed that he was very confident about his cooking. However, the risotto is crunchy and it's not seasoned, and was sent back to make a new one. Vuclan's scallops had also been finished and was sent to the past. Chef Ramsay realized that the scallops were burnt and not colored, so he tell the red team to stop. He told them that they need to get it together, and warned that he was reaching his breaking point very quickly.

Back in the blue kitchen, Mas' scallops were finally accepted and food was flying out in the kitchen fast. They had started their fist entrees: two lamb, one duck, one halibut. Again, Mas sent out the halibut too early and it was raw. Chef Ramsay told Mas if he screw up once again, he was out. The lamb and duck was ready, and the blue kitchen was waiting on halibut. Mas' sent his halibut out, hoping that his halibut would be accepted, unfortunately, it was raw, and Mas was being kicked out from the kitchen.

In the red kitchen, they were on their third table of appetizers now: 2 scallops. Vuclan's scallops were once again raw, and Lei had enough and told Vuclan to move out of his way. Lei's scallops were also raw, but the other side of the scallops were burnt. Vuclan and Lei were sent back to the dorms.

After the dead weight in the blue kitchen had gone, they finished service very quickly, and Chef Ramsay gave the rest of the blue team a thumbs-up.

The red kitchen was still struggling. After a raw chicken was sent up, the red team is ejected from the kitchen and asked to nominate two of their weakest links.

## Post-Motern

The red team all point their fingers at Lei and Vuclan. But Vuclan complained that no one tried to help Lei and he was the only one to step up and help him. But Antony stated that Vuclan was on the fish station, and he was the one who should help Lei. Vuclan is now outraged. He cursed Antony and threw a water bottle at his bags and went to the bathroom.

## Elimination

Chef Ramsay called Guy for their first nominee and why. Guy said they nominated Lei because of the fish station. Then he asked for the second nominee. Guy said that their second nominee is Vuclan because his inability to cook scallops. Chef Ramsay asked both of them to step forward.

Then he asked why Lei should stay in Hell's Kitchen. Lei said that the performance tonight was not his best and promised that he would do better. Then Chef Ramsay asked why Vuclan should stay in Hell's Kitchen. Vuclan kept blaming his teammates for not helping Lei and emphasized that he was the only person helping Lei. Chef Ramsay didn't think so though, and confiscated his jacket.

Ramsay's Comment: *"Whenever Lei did something wrong, he blamed his team; that's why Lei being a Head Chef at Apron Steakhouse remains as a dream."*
