00:00Previously on MasterChef Generations...
00:02Welcome to this amazing rock quarry.
00:05Diners are coming, guys. Ten minutes to go.
00:08Beautiful chicken, guys. Good job.
00:10Thanks, Captain!
00:12Arthur, you got to throw somebody on burgers right now.
00:14Zaffa has got all these great ideas,
00:16but he's not talking much.
00:17You're the captain, man. Be confident.
00:19We haven't even started service, and we've run out of slaw.
00:22It's raw!
00:24Congratulations goes to...
00:27the blue team!
00:29I am feeling so good about winning.
00:31The person going home is Arthur.
00:35Bye, guys.
00:36Tonight, you'll be facing the infamous tag-team challenge.
00:40It's our toughest one yet.
00:42You'll have to make four different dishes.
00:44This is freaking insane.
00:45Rebecca, since you were the winning captain
00:47from the last challenge,
00:49you get to pick tonight's pairs.
00:51Nice.
00:53We're gonna have some big issues.
00:54Switch! Let's go!
00:55Switch, switch, switch, switch, switch!
00:56What goes first?
00:57This doesn't look good.
00:58A little faster. We got to go.
00:59I got it.
01:00They are really behind.
01:01Switch!
01:02Let's go!
01:03We need to start the crates?
01:04It's the most vicious pick so far.
01:06Go check your crates!
01:07This is not quite the dream team I had hoped for.
01:09Switch!
01:10You're killing me, man!
01:22Top 12.
01:23All right, all right.
01:25It's gonna be an exciting one, this one.
01:27One of my favorite challenges.
01:28It's a MasterChef classic.
01:33Go, go, go!
01:35Yeah!
01:36I came into this competition
01:38as a super fan of MasterChef.
01:40To have made it to top 12 is just surreal.
01:43What is this?
01:45Oh, different colors? That's neat.
01:47Very interesting.
01:48Interesting.
01:49I'm seeing colors on the stations.
01:52I know it's the tag team challenge.
01:54So that's pretty nerve-wracking.
01:56Welcome back, everybody.
01:59First of all, congratulations.
02:01Top 12, come on!
02:06Now, Adam, can you switch places with Warren, please?
02:11Love that.
02:12Daniela, can you swap places with Becca, please?
02:16Hayley, swap places with Kamei, please.
02:20Okay.
02:21That's better.
02:22So starting right now, it's everyone for themselves.
02:26Oh!
02:28You are not cooking alongside your generation any longer.
02:32Nice.
02:33No more hiding behind the best cook of your generation.
02:37Wow.
02:38Tonight, you'll be facing the infamous tag team challenge.
02:43You will work in pairs,
02:46switching back and forth to make not three this time,
02:50four different dishes.
02:52Oh, man.
02:54This is our toughest tag team challenge ever.
02:58This is freaking insane.
02:59Yeah, it's crazy.
03:00Now, each of these four dishes under the cloche
03:03are a standout of each generation
03:06and their culinary styles.
03:07First up, the appetizer,
03:09a classic Gen Z king trumpet mushroom scallops
03:13over a delicious romesco
03:16finished with a herb vinaigrette.
03:18Oh, boy.
03:20Moving on, something quintessentially millennial,
03:23a delicious sesame-crusted ahi tuna
03:26over a bed of wasabi mash sauteed kale
03:29with a ginger soy reduction.
03:31So many elements.
03:32That's an easy one.
03:33You'd think.
03:34Now, Gen Xs.
03:35For the meat course,
03:36we have a delicious pan-roasted filet mignon
03:39with a red wine mushroom sauce,
03:41fingerling potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
03:44Filet mignon, mid-rare in the center.
03:47Yes, Chef.
03:48Absolutely.
03:49All right.
03:50Last but not least, our dessert.
03:52You can't get more baby boomers than this,
03:55an incredible flambéed crepe Suzette
03:59with a beautiful orange sauce
04:01finished with a Chantilly cream.
04:04Oh, dear God.
04:05All four of these dishes require precise timing,
04:09so make sure that you and your teammates stay in sync.
04:14Yes, Chef.
04:15Speaking of teams, we need them.
04:17Now, Rebecca, you were the winning captain
04:19of the last team challenge,
04:21so you get to pick tonight's pairs.
04:24So come on up here, please.
04:26Okay.
04:28You good, girl?
04:29I'm good.
04:30So let's start with Warren.
04:33Fellow baby boomer.
04:34Who do we pair him up with?
04:35Hayley.
04:36Hayley.
04:37Wow.
04:38Because they're both the same in their strengths.
04:40A Gen Z and a boomer.
04:42Right.
04:43Next up, who are you gonna pair with Daniella?
04:46Daniella is gonna be paired with Horatio today.
04:48Wow.
04:49Horatio and Daniella,
04:51they both are pretty scattered,
04:53so there's a possibility that they will have a train wreck.
04:56Okay, next, Mert.
04:58Kamei.
04:59Kamei.
05:00My biggest threat is Kamei,
05:02and they are both powerhouse personalities,
05:05and I think that that will cause them problems.
05:07Jeez.
05:08I'm gonna pair her with Adam.
05:10They're both very quiet,
05:11so that could be a detriment to them.
05:13Okay.
05:15You are saving your pick for last.
05:18Yes.
05:19So who are you gonna pair with, Michael?
05:21I'm gonna pair Michael and Kimberly together
05:23only because they're the tallest and the shortest.
05:26Right.
05:27And, of course, you have selected Becca.
05:30Absolutely.
05:31Please join Becca and all you guys.
05:33Jump into those new aprons, please.
05:36Two Beccas.
05:37The Becca Beccas.
05:38The Becca Beccas.
05:39Love it.
05:40To be honest,
05:41I think Rebecca paired Michael and I together
05:43not because he's tall and I'm short,
05:45but because he's strong and she thinks I'm weak,
05:48and so I need to prove that I am a good cook.
05:51Okay, so listen closely.
05:53You'll be taking turns.
05:54One of you cooks, and one of you stands on the side.
05:57And when we call switch, you switch places.
05:59Understood?
06:00Yes, Chef.
06:01Now, the two home cooks
06:04who make the best dishes tonight
06:07will both earn immunity pins.
06:12This pin puts you straight into the top ten.
06:19And both of you will have a huge advantage
06:21in the next challenge.
06:23Now, one cook from the worst-performing team tonight
06:26will be leaving this competition.
06:28Make sure it's not you.
06:29Yes, Chef.
06:30Tonight, you've got to think very, very carefully
06:33who's gonna go first and who's gonna bring it home,
06:37which means plating at the end.
06:39A very important decision.
06:40Okay, head to your stations.
06:42I do think that Becca and I will be a powerhouse team
06:45because we've both been in the top several times,
06:47so I think we are fierce and we're ready to win.
06:50All right, we got this.
06:51I'll get us going, I'll get us prepped up and ready to go.
06:53As soon as you come back in, you know, you can...
06:55You just tell me where to take over.
06:56Exactly.
06:57We're doing basically primary responsibilities by plate.
06:59If you don't finish something,
07:00have the other person finish it for you
07:01and walk them through.
07:02All right, everyone, you'll have 75 minutes
07:04working as a tag team to make a feast for the ages.
07:08Right.
07:09If you're starting, stay where you are.
07:11If you're the anchor, then please step to the side.
07:14Wish your partner the very best of luck.
07:16We got this. Go for it.
07:18Your 75 minutes start now.
07:22Let's go.
07:23Put the pots on.
07:24Grab the two kettles.
07:25Here we go, Kame.
07:26Here we go.
07:27Okay, potatoes.
07:28Peel the potatoes.
07:29Perfect, perfect.
07:30Potatoes, right, first?
07:31Yep, yep.
07:32You're gonna be searing an ahi tuna.
07:34I would say you prep it first.
07:35I'm gonna start on the sauce.
07:36Okay.
07:37Rebecca is starting to recognize me as a threat,
07:39so she paired me together with Mert.
07:42He's kind of like a Tasmanian devil in the kitchen,
07:44and that doesn't always work well with me.
07:46For the knives, for the knives.
07:48So I'm just hoping that I can keep both of us focused.
07:51Prep your tuna, okay?
07:52Okay.
07:53Go, Haley. Go, girl.
07:54Warren is a great team player,
07:56but our weaknesses can possibly be the age difference.
07:58All right, what do you want me to do next?
08:00I can't hear you.
08:02Warren might not be able to hear,
08:04but I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna holler,
08:06and I'm hoping to push us towards a victory.
08:08Cheer me on, buddy. Cheer me on.
08:10Come on, Haley. You got it going, girl.
08:12Horacio, quicker peel.
08:14Go all the way around the potato on the next one.
08:16I'm a bit concerned because Horacio
08:18is the rambunctious all-over-the-place guy.
08:20No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:22Go around and peel it rather than doing this.
08:24Are you sure?
08:25I haven't been strong during this competition,
08:27but it's my time to step up.
08:29Cut even pieces so that they cook evenly.
08:31Looking good, Horacio.
08:33Halfway through the potatoes.
08:35You got it. You got it.
08:37Adam is a soft-spoken guy,
08:39and we have very similar personalities.
08:41I've seen the tag team challenge enough
08:43to know that a leadership voice is really required.
08:47After this, I'm cutting the Brussels sprouts.
08:49Yeah, should be fine.
08:51I'm gonna have to bring all that voice for our team
08:54and take the lead.
08:56All right, we're good.
08:58That's good, Mike. Perfect. That's good.
09:00A little bit more.
09:01Mr. Perfection over there.
09:03Now, in this generational tag team challenge tonight,
09:06the skills that we're really testing
09:08is communication, right?
09:09Yeah, and also, you have to prioritize.
09:11All of the procedures I take the longest to do
09:13should be done first.
09:14Obviously, potatoes, right?
09:16Looking good, G. Looking good.
09:17After that, I'll get into searing the meats,
09:19especially that filet.
09:20I'm gonna go ahead and start seasoning the steak.
09:22Beautiful.
09:23And then after that, the ahi tuna.
09:25Get that tuna crusted, get it seared,
09:27and again, let that rest.
09:28Really important.
09:29You sure it needs nothing to adhere to?
09:31No, I got it, I got it, I got it.
09:32Put as much as you can on.
09:33A lot is gonna fall off.
09:34I am, I am.
09:35Then go on to the sauces,
09:36and then get the trumpet mushrooms.
09:37We're only scoring one side, yeah?
09:39I think we should score both sides.
09:41Let's melt the butter for the crepe batter
09:43just so it can cool for me.
09:45I would leave those crepes for the last ten minutes
09:47because they cook so fast.
09:49Butter looks melted.
09:51Okay, perfect.
09:52What I can't afford to do is waste time,
09:54and you need to be on the same page
09:57every step of the way.
09:58What percentage of soy sauce
09:59is going into the sauce versus the vinegar?
10:00I don't know.
10:01Well, then you should.
10:02Make sure you taste early.
10:03I know, I know.
10:04Two and a half minutes to go
10:05before our first switch.
10:07Communicate before you swap.
10:09You're gonna switch in a minute.
10:10What do you want me to start on, you think?
10:12Obviously the filet
10:13because the cook has to be perfect.
10:14Do you want to do the ahi tuna?
10:16Oh, man.
10:18You're good, Horacio.
10:19Easy.
10:20This is extremely hard.
10:22Sixty seconds to go
10:23before our first switch.
10:25Stand by.
10:26All right, let's taste, Mert.
10:27Use a different spoon
10:28so we're not cross-contaminating,
10:29you hear me?
10:30May can be a pretty strong personality.
10:32I don't know if I can deal
10:33with that type of drama
10:34while I'm cooking.
10:35I would start with half the amount
10:36of vinegar of the soy
10:37depending on how much you have.
10:38No, I think it should be more.
10:40Wow, okay.
10:41I don't think she's gonna listen
10:42to anything I say in the kitchen.
10:43And I didn't cook.
10:44I've proved myself
10:45the last couple of challenges.
10:47Mert, stop putting your spoon back in.
10:49Take it out.
10:50Bring it back to a boil.
10:51If she keeps dictating
10:52how I'm supposed to cook something,
10:54we're gonna have some big issues.
10:55All right, all right.
10:56And you can add more soy sauce
10:57if it's too sweet, okay?
10:59Mert?
11:00Mert?
11:01You hear me?
11:1160 seconds to go
11:12before our first switch.
11:14Let's go.
11:15So how did the sauce taste?
11:16The sauce is a little salty.
11:18Okay, so I'll fix it.
11:19Oven open.
11:20In.
11:21Yep, there you go.
11:22Here we go.
11:23Five, four, three, two, one.
11:26Switch!
11:27Switch, switch, switch, switch.
11:28Let me go, go, go.
11:29Go.
11:30Let's go, Warren, let's go!
11:31Season the meat.
11:32Season the meat.
11:33All right, so I'm gonna finish
11:34cutting these,
11:35and I'm gonna watch your sauce.
11:37I'll do a touch of vinegar,
11:38and I wanna blend it a little more.
11:39Okay, cool.
11:40Let's see if we can get
11:41these Brussels sprouts in the oven, too.
11:42Okay.
11:43Throw it in the oven.
11:44A little faster.
11:45We gotta go.
11:46I got it.
11:47Let's go, guys.
11:48First ten minutes gone.
11:49Just roll that, roll that.
11:50Coat it in that.
11:51Good job, good job.
11:53First, the sesame seeds.
11:54Sesame seed is after done.
11:55It gets cooked with the sesame seeds.
11:57No.
11:58Sesame seed was raw.
11:59It wasn't raw, chef.
12:01He's saying to add the sesame seeds
12:03after it's cooked.
12:04No, it should be coated
12:05in the sesame seeds, right?
12:06A little touch of oil there.
12:08What takes longer to cook,
12:09the fillet or the tuna?
12:10Uh, the fillet.
12:11The fillet takes longer,
12:12then, uh...
12:13Absolutely.
12:14So why can't you talk to her?
12:15Make sure the pans are hot
12:16before you do anything.
12:17Yes, Horacio.
12:18Okay, support each other.
12:19Yes.
12:20Yes, sir.
12:21And focus on those proteins.
12:22Good luck.
12:23Add the sauce again.
12:26Still salty.
12:27How much soy sauce
12:28are you putting in?
12:29Just put a normal amount.
12:30You want to do the vinaigrette
12:31or kale first?
12:32I'll prep the kale.
12:33Okay.
12:34All the way, even, even.
12:35Make sure you get it all around.
12:36That's good.
12:37Seasoned meat.
12:38We're here with the dream team
12:39that you've created.
12:40How do you feel you guys
12:41got out the gate?
12:42Did you set you guys up
12:43for success or what?
12:44I think we have.
12:45We've got a lot accomplished already.
12:46He's seasoning our meat right now.
12:48I would say you couldn't be
12:49more dissimilar
12:51as far as your age
12:52and your experience
12:53in the kitchen.
12:54Do you think that will help
12:55or hurt you?
12:56I think it'll help us.
12:57I really do.
12:58She's like the younger version
12:59of me.
13:00Hey, don't over season, okay?
13:01Fish next.
13:02Season.
13:03Sorry.
13:04No, it's good.
13:05Good luck.
13:06Thank you, chefs.
13:08Let's try to get that steak in.
13:09Salt and pepper at first, or?
13:10Yep, salt and pepper on there.
13:11Let's get it on.
13:12It needs to rest.
13:1360 seconds to go
13:14to the next switch.
13:15Standby.
13:16Let's go.
13:17Oy, oy, oy.
13:18How's the steak looking?
13:19Steak's looking good.
13:21Can we put garlic in there?
13:22The garlic can come in a second.
13:2315 seconds until we switch.
13:25Get it in the pan.
13:26Get it in the pan.
13:27Is it hot?
13:28Pan's hot?
13:29Yes.
13:30You finish off the steak?
13:31Yep, yep.
13:32All right, get ready.
13:33Three, two, one.
13:34Switch.
13:35Switch.
13:36Go, go, go, go.
13:37You got it.
13:38You got it.
13:39You got it.
13:40All right, switch, switch, switch.
13:41Give me the base.
13:42Yep.
13:43Okay, we're doing fish first
13:44or meat?
13:45Both at the same time, okay?
13:46Let's go, Haley.
13:47You go, girl.
13:48Oh, Haley, you're rocking.
13:49Horacio.
13:50Rosemary, butter, baste.
13:51Looks good, looks good.
13:52You know how to do a perfect steak, Mike.
13:54You got this.
13:55All right, guys, this is a pivotal moment
13:57in the Tag Team Challenge,
13:58because now you're searing your meats,
14:00you're cooking the tuna.
14:01This is the heart of the cook, yeah?
14:03The ahi only needs 60 seconds on each side,
14:05so they need to keep an eye on that.
14:07And anything over medium-rare on a fillet is bad news.
14:10Yes.
14:11You're gonna keep basting that,
14:12and then we're gonna probably pop it in the oven.
14:14No, I'll let you do it.
14:15I'm gonna baste it a little bit.
14:17No, you can't let me do it.
14:18I can't sit there and not cook.
14:19All right.
14:20Just let me know when I put it in the oven.
14:22You should put it in now, Mert.
14:24Now?
14:25Yes.
14:26All right.
14:27All right, the steak in the oven.
14:29Yep, go and start ricing those potatoes.
14:32Oh!
14:33Pan hot?
14:35Yeah.
14:36All right, 15 seconds.
14:37You sure about 15 seconds, not 30?
14:39No, it's less time than that.
14:41Okay.
14:42All right, guys, so what do you think
14:44of pairing Kamei and Mert?
14:46I think Rebecca's target here is Kamei as a potential threat.
14:50That's the most vicious pick.
14:52That's right.
14:53Exactly.
14:54Mert's sort of casual, frat boy, relaxed,
14:56and you got Kamei that's on it, that wants it done now.
14:59We have got to get started on the tuna.
15:02What are you gonna do?
15:03With the orange team, we have Haley,
15:04who's a strong personality,
15:05and you have Warren, who's more subdued,
15:07and he's the oldest competitor.
15:09There's a 46-year age gap.
15:12That could either be a real positive attribute
15:14or a very, very difficult challenge.
15:16Yeah, absolutely.
15:17Exactly that.
15:18You have a pan that's ready there for your ahi?
15:20A little bit.
15:21No, no, don't cook with sesame oil.
15:23You sure?
15:24Yeah, I'm sure, positive.
15:25Cook with grapeseed oil.
15:26Green team, Horacio and Daniela.
15:28Horacio, he has no idea what's going on.
15:30Was that pan hot?
15:32Uh...
15:33Yep.
15:34I think Horacio, as a very wild guy,
15:36might have the hardest time in this challenge.
15:38He has to listen.
15:39That's right.
15:40That's it, not too much.
15:41Not enough.
15:42Just the drizzle.
15:43I need more soy in this.
15:45So, Jeet and Adam is a very challenging pairing
15:47because I think neither of them are very vocal, right?
15:49Sure, yeah.
15:50They've been the quietest team so far.
15:52Okay, check the sear of the steak.
15:54I think it's good.
15:55Okay, all right, in the oven.
15:56Let's go, let's go, let's go.
15:58And then, of course, Rebecca.
15:59She takes the cream of the crop.
16:00Rebecca.
16:01But you have two alpha leaders.
16:03You put two alpha leaders in the pan.
16:06You put two people like that
16:08that both have the instinct to take charge.
16:10It could spell trouble.
16:11Yeah, interesting.
16:13Be gentle with it.
16:14I think it needs to sear it a little bit more.
16:16You sure?
16:17Yes.
16:18Keep an eye on that tuna.
16:19We don't want it overdone.
16:20It's good.
16:21We got this.
16:22Good?
16:23How is it?
16:24Oh!
16:25Don't worry.
16:26You're good?
16:27It's good, it's good.
16:28Okay, all right.
16:29Good job, good job.
16:30How's the sauce tasting?
16:31Let me see it.
16:32Hold it out to me.
16:33This doesn't look good.
16:36It just looks like it's separated a little bit.
16:38We can strain it.
16:39Yeah, let's strain it.
16:40I'll take care of the red wine sauce.
16:4130 seconds to switch.
16:42Stand by.
16:43Oh, this is...
16:45It's hot.
16:46Okay.
16:47Okay, Rebecca, when I get on him,
16:48I'll work on the mash.
16:49I can't hear a thing.
16:50I can't hear you.
16:51I can't hear you.
16:52Three, two, one.
16:54And switch!
16:55Let's go!
16:56Come on!
16:57Nice job, Boomer!
16:58Standards are looking good?
16:59Yes.
17:00All right, and we got the Brussels working in the oven.
17:02I'm starting the batter.
17:03Start crepes.
17:04We're looking really good, Kimberly.
17:05I think we're on top of it.
17:06What sauce do you want to do?
17:07You want to do the ginger?
17:08Or do you want to do the orange one?
17:10Do the orange one.
17:11I'll do the...
17:12Whichever one you're more comfortable with.
17:14Okay.
17:15Right.
17:16Adam and G, where are we?
17:17We're done with the Brussels sprouts.
17:19We are also parboiling our fingerling potatoes.
17:21Let's talk about the proteins.
17:22Is the filet mignon resting?
17:23Yes.
17:24What temperature is it?
17:25Oh, we haven't cooked it yet.
17:26You haven't cooked it yet?
17:27No.
17:28Get the filet on.
17:29Come on, guys.
17:30Is the tuna seared?
17:31No, chef.
17:32The tuna and the steak aren't done,
17:33but we're working on the elements
17:34But...
17:35Hey, why are we upside down?
17:37You're the only team that hasn't got their protein on.
17:40Come on, guys.
17:41You're both behind.
17:42Don't waste time.
17:43Oh, boy.
17:53Adam and G,
17:54you're the only team that hasn't got their protein on.
17:57Come on, guys.
17:58You're both behind.
17:59Don't waste time.
18:00You need to speed up.
18:01Yes, chef.
18:02Let's go.
18:03I'll be first.
18:04You're going to add probably a teaspoon.
18:05Good job.
18:06Good job.
18:07You're doing awesome.
18:08Keep mixing.
18:09Good.
18:10Yes.
18:11Two minutes to go.
18:12It's all switched.
18:13Do you want a pan hot for tuna as well?
18:14Sure.
18:15Yeah.
18:16My big worry right now is the red team
18:17with Adam and G.
18:18They haven't even got their proteins on.
18:19They're messing around with sauces, garnishes.
18:21There's no leader there.
18:22No one's taking control.
18:23You're going to have to guide me on those temps, OK?
18:25OK.
18:26I got you.
18:27Check that red wine reduction and strain it.
18:29Oh, no.
18:30This is broken.
18:31Oh, my gosh.
18:33I'm spending so much time remaking the sauces
18:35that Mert started in the beginning.
18:37So I'm going to start the red sauce again,
18:39but we really got to pay attention to it.
18:41And it's incredibly frustrating because instead
18:43of making progress, I'm wasting time.
18:45Watch that for me.
18:46You got me?
18:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:4815 seconds until we switch.
18:50OK.
18:51Good, good, good.
18:52You got that going.
18:53Be thinking about what's next.
18:54All right.
18:55I'm trying to think what's next.
18:56Think, think, think.
18:57Three, two, one.
19:00Switch.
19:01Let's go.
19:02Switch, switch, switch, switch, switch.
19:03Let's go, baby.
19:04I'm getting both of those proteins on.
19:06Check that filet about every one minute.
19:08OK.
19:09Right, by now, all your protein should be rested.
19:12Now you start on that trumpet mushroom.
19:14Nice, nice, nice.
19:15Beautiful.
19:16Get a good color on those.
19:18We need to start the crepes, and we need to start the mushrooms.
19:21Sear the mushroom scallops.
19:23I didn't hear the first part.
19:24This is not quite the dream team I had hoped for.
19:26Sear mushroom scallops and work on the Asian sauce.
19:29It is total chaos in this kitchen.
19:31And Becca's barking orders at me and saying, do this, do this.
19:34I'm just really not used to that.
19:36I'm used to being the one that barks the orders.
19:39OK, we got to move, girl.
19:40I know, I know.
19:41Everybody, listen up.
19:42Start your crepe.
19:43Get crepes going.
19:44Let's go.
19:45We need three crepes, three crepes.
19:48Make it thin.
19:49Oh, sugar.
19:51All right, I think the tuna might be seared.
19:53Look at this.
19:54Yeah.
19:55Good job.
19:56Flip it.
19:57Perfect, perfect.
19:58Flip it, girl.
19:59Yes, yes.
20:00Mert, be careful.
20:03Oh my god.
20:04Throw it away.
20:05Just throw it away.
20:06Don't leave it in there.
20:07Flambe, let's do it.
20:09Woo!
20:10Watch your eyebrows, baby.
20:12Woo, woo, woo.
20:13Good job.
20:14Woo, baby.
20:15Now look at the bottom of the steak.
20:16It should be like a deep brown color.
20:18It's good.
20:19Good?
20:20Yeah.
20:21All right, what's next?
20:22Tell me what to do.
20:23All right, so you're going to do the red wine sauce.
20:25I'm frustrated because G wanted to step up and lead,
20:27but she is really struggling.
20:29Oh, I'm not going to be able to do this.
20:31So I'm worried that we're not going to be able to finish
20:33all these components.
20:34Come on, come on, come on.
20:3590 seconds to our final switch.
20:3890 seconds.
20:39Hey, get some crepes down.
20:40Get a cup.
20:41Get it down.
20:42How do I do this?
20:43Go check your crepe.
20:44Use a spatula.
20:45Use something.
20:46Use your fingers.
20:47I don't want you flipping in the air.
20:49Mert, you're killing me, man.
20:51Watch the heat.
20:52It's a little high.
20:5330 seconds, guys.
20:54Last switch.
20:55Standing by.
20:56If it's not hot enough, it's not going to melt.
20:58Mexico!
20:59Mexico!
21:00Mexico!
21:01I don't know where I cut it.
21:02OK, Horacio, breathe.
21:04Breathe.
21:05You're good.
21:06Let's go, Horacio.
21:07It's OK.
21:08It's OK.
21:09Good job, Horacio.
21:10Pour half the sauce over the crepes.
21:11We'll let it soak and then flambe it.
21:13Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
21:153, 2, 1, switch!
21:18For the final time, let's go.
21:20Switch!
21:21Put it down!
21:22Oh, mama.
21:23Plate one.
21:24Plate the two.
21:25How are you feeling with the crepe?
21:26Ah, I think there's too much butter in here.
21:28All right, that's going.
21:29Watch that for me, OK?
21:30Huh?
21:31Watch that for me, please.
21:32Hey, also, Brussels sprouts.
21:33I will.
21:34I need to babysit this a little bit, though.
21:36Come on, Daniela.
21:37OK, dip them.
21:39All right, let's go.
21:40Just under seven minutes remaining.
21:42Let's go.
21:43Gotta start plating.
21:44Start plating.
21:45Bring it home, guys.
21:46Bring it home.
21:47We never cook those mushrooms.
21:48You got it.
21:49We can cook them.
21:50Oh, thanks.
21:51We need to get our mushrooms done.
21:52Oh, my goodness.
21:53Stay calm.
21:54Yeah.
21:56Get those on top of each other.
21:58How are those mushrooms?
21:59Are they almost cooked?
22:00They're going.
22:01They're going.
22:02They're going.
22:03The mushrooms aren't even cooked.
22:04But why are the mushrooms cooked?
22:05Because we're focusing on plating.
22:06Mushrooms are way more important than these.
22:07OK, yes, chef.
22:08Get the mushrooms plating.
22:09Get the mushrooms plating.
22:10Sugar.
22:11Check on those mushrooms.
22:12I think they're good.
22:13You can take them out.
22:14OK, they're good?
22:15I think so.
22:16Oh, the kale's all in the center.
22:17OK, then what?
22:18OK, now put the tuna on top.
22:19Put the tuna on top.
22:20Keep going, Kimberly.
22:21Keep going.
22:22Keep going.
22:23Keep going.
22:24What goes first?
22:25Put the steak on top of it.
22:26No.
22:27It's fish on it.
22:28Anda.
22:29Put the steak on it.
22:30Put the red sauce on top of it.
22:31Leave it.
22:32You're confusing me, Horacio.
22:33This is so stressful.
22:35We can't remember whether the kale goes with the fish
22:39or with the steak.
22:40What else?
22:41Put the mashed potato on the black one.
22:43Our Gen X and Boomer memories are kicking in in overdrive.
22:47More, more, more.
22:48Yeah, we can do this.
22:49Great job.
22:50Keep going. Keep going.
22:51Keep going.
22:52Are we just leaving the Brussels sprouts out?
22:53Listen, I got to plate something nice.
22:54Let me get this done.
22:5530 seconds to go.
22:56Good, good, good.
22:57Good job.
22:58Keep going.
22:59Keep going.
23:00The Brussels sprouts go with the tuna.
23:01Yep, yep, yep.
23:02Keep whipping.
23:03Come on.
23:04Ah.
23:055, 4, 3, 2, 1.
23:09Stop.
23:10Hands in the air.
23:11Go.
23:12Up, Daniela.
23:13Ah!
23:14Yes, Daniela.
23:15Oh, my goodness.
23:16Oh.
23:17That was crazy, man.
23:19That was crazy.
23:20We were good as a team.
23:21Ugh.
23:22I just hope we did enough.
23:24It was hell.
23:25We didn't finish the Brussels sprouts?
23:27We didn't get the kale on.
23:29Oh, fuck.
23:30I cannot believe this.
23:32Oh, fuck.
23:33Kale.
23:34Damn.
23:36We got everything.
23:37Everything is on.
23:38I hope the cook on the meat is good.
23:41This challenge was way harder than I thought it would be.
23:44We'll just see what they think, OK?
23:46I had so many high hopes for this team,
23:49and it just didn't play out.
23:51It's like a knife through the heart.
23:53It's embarrassing, it's disappointing,
23:55and I'm worried about my team.
23:58All right.
24:09Well done, all of you.
24:11Now, that was a challenge, right?
24:13It was incredible.
24:14Now, it's time to taste all of your dishes
24:16and find out who's on top and who may be leaving.
24:20First up, Hayley and Warren, please.
24:23This challenge is harder than any other team challenge
24:25we've done so far, but I love Warren.
24:27For us to be two completely different generations
24:30and to come together and really rock this,
24:32I'm so proud of us.
24:33Right, let's start off with the Gen Z-inspired appetizer.
24:36Visually, the trumpet mushrooms.
24:38They look good.
24:39Nice sear, great color.
24:40Shall we dig in, gents?
24:41Yes.
24:42Delicious.
24:43Seasoned beautifully.
24:44And that vinaigrette is a little touch greasy.
24:46However, the hero, mushrooms cooked beautifully.
24:48The dish is spot-on.
24:49Flavorful, well-executed.
24:50Well done.
24:51Thank you, Chef.
24:52Right, the crusted tuna.
24:54Visually, it looks slightly overcooked.
24:56It's also lacking in that crust of sesame,
24:59so it's not an even coating.
25:01It's a great dish.
25:02It's a great dish.
25:03It's a great dish.
25:04It's a great dish.
25:05It's a great dish.
25:06It's a great dish.
25:07It's a great dish.
25:08It's a great dish.
25:09It's a great dish.
25:10It's a great dish.
25:11Amazing.
25:17For me, the dish tastes delicious.
25:20Yeah.
25:21The mame has that perfect amount of wasabi.
25:23And I love how the ginger came through on the sauce,
25:26so good job.
25:28OK.
25:29We've got the filet mignon.
25:31Visually, it is good.
25:32Great sear in the filet.
25:33In terms of the temperature, what did you do?
25:36We'll for medium-rare.
25:36Medium-rare?
25:37Who cooked this?
25:39That would be me.
25:40That's a beautiful mid-rare.
25:42Oh, I can't breathe.
25:44Beautifully done.
25:48Sauce a little bit over-reduced.
25:50However, the steak is now beautifully well done.
25:53For me, the caramelization on the brussel sprouts
25:55is spot on, and I love the fact that you didn't
25:57hammer the outside of the steak.
25:59And finally, crepe Suzette.
26:02The color on the crepes, they look good,
26:04but it's missing the Chantilly whipped cream.
26:11So crepes are delicious.
26:13And that sauce, flambe, picture perfect.
26:16Crepes were seasoned properly.
26:18Sauce tastes good.
26:19So that's a success from my perspective.
26:24Flavor-wise, they were very, very accurate.
26:28Steak was amazing.
26:29All right, so the next dishes we want to taste
26:31is from Horacio and Daniela.
26:33I feel really stressed out.
26:36We finished what we could do, but the dishes
26:39is incomplete.
26:41And this make me extremely nervous.
26:43So visually, trumpet mushrooms is missing the herb vinaigrette,
26:46so it looks a little bit dry.
26:55These mushrooms are cooked perfectly
26:57and seasoned perfectly.
26:58It's too bad the dish is incomplete.
27:00OK, now let's deal with the elephant in the room.
27:03Who put the brussel sprouts on the tuna?
27:05I did, chef.
27:06Right.
27:07Where did the brussel sprouts go?
27:09On the steak, chef.
27:15Tuna's delicious.
27:16Tuna's seasoned beautifully, and it's absolutely spot on.
27:19Thank you, chef.
27:20Thank you, chef.
27:21OK, the filet mignon with the wrong garnish,
27:24but filet looks delicious.
27:28And it's a beautiful mid-rare.
27:29Thank you, chef.
27:30Thank you, chef.
27:30Thank you, chef.
27:37Delicious.
27:38Thank you, Joe.
27:39The fingerling potatoes are nice and crispy.
27:41The actual kale is super crispy as well.
27:43It's actually delicious.
27:44It just doesn't go with this dish.
27:47Right, crepes.
27:48Where's the sauce for the crepes?
27:50The crepes were cooked in the sauce and then folded.
27:53So it's absorbed in there.
27:54It's absorbed in there.
27:55And no whipped cream.
27:56We did not have time to do that, chef.
28:01The crepes are absolutely delicious.
28:04Delicious.
28:05I mean, they're crispy.
28:06They're delicious.
28:06Gentle, gentle, gentle.
28:08You OK?
28:09Yeah.
28:10Thank you, Daniela.
28:11Gracias.
28:12Thank you, chef.
28:16It's a shame, because they actually got
28:17a lot of components spot on.
28:19Yeah, it's like mix and match.
28:20I don't go to the Savoy Grill when I order the broccoli.
28:22They could bring me bok choy.
28:23No.
28:24No.
28:24We did good.
28:26OK, the next team's dish we'd like to introduce
28:28OK, the next team's dish we'd like to taste
28:31is Kamei and Mert.
28:33I am feeling so scared, because a lot of our plates
28:36are missing elements.
28:38And I think that's a reflection of the disorganization
28:41and the miscommunications that we had.
28:43I just witnessed 75 minutes of bedlam.
28:46Mert, what happened?
28:48We have different cooking styles,
28:49but we struggled out there.
28:50I can't sugarcoat it at all.
28:52And where are the sprouts?
28:54The sprouts were never cooked.
28:56The kale we cooked, it's in a deli tub at our station.
28:59What is it, a snack for midnight?
29:01No, chef.
29:01Why couldn't it get on the plate?
29:04A lot of mistakes there.
29:06Wow.
29:18Mert and Kamei.
29:20Visually, it's a mess, guys.
29:22When you're missing so many components,
29:23it's very difficult for us to even judge.
29:26So visually, trumpet mushrooms.
29:28We're missing the herb vinaigrette, right?
29:29Did we forget it?
29:30Did we run out of time?
29:31We ran out of time, chef.
29:37Oh, boy.
29:38It's undercooked.
29:39It tastes woody.
29:40We asked you to cook food, not serve it to us raw.
29:44Now, tuna's nice and pink.
29:46The actual mash looks silky smooth.
29:48But it's missing the kale.
29:54So the tuna's cooked beautifully.
29:55It's just under-seasoned.
29:57It's bland.
29:58Yeah, I think the saving grace here is that wasabi mash.
30:00It has the spice.
30:02It has that sort of wake-up power that the tuna needs.
30:05So the filet mignon, I mean, it looks hammered.
30:08Who cooked this?
30:09I seasoned and got the sear on the stove.
30:12I don't need a bedtime story.
30:14I just need who cooked the filet.
30:15I did, chef.
30:16I did.
30:17I did.
30:18Who cooked the filet?
30:19I did, chef.
30:21So it's medium.
30:28I mean, there's just no salt, guys.
30:30And what that tells me is that you guys were completely
30:32frantic, and you didn't work on the basics.
30:35As I taste this food, I just ask myself,
30:37what did you do for 75 minutes?
30:40OK.
30:41Crates look rushed.
30:42Where's the orange segments and the whipped cream?
30:44I had time to make a sauce and zest,
30:47but not the whipped cream.
30:55A crepe suzette transports you to a place.
30:57And when it falls short like this,
30:59it's an absolute shame.
31:00I mean, this looked like my kid's socks.
31:03And I just want to say to both of you,
31:05you don't need to be best friends.
31:06But professionally, you do need to work together.
31:08And I'm tasting two individuals who
31:10couldn't care less about each other, let alone their food.
31:13Thank you, Kevain.
31:14Understood.
31:16Perfect example of two individuals
31:17not working together.
31:19Two different cooking styles, man.
31:22Next up, Jeet and Adam.
31:24I'm feeling very nervous.
31:25We're missing a couple of elements.
31:27But at this point, I'm just hanging on to hope
31:29that Martin Kamei maybe did slightly worse
31:32than what we did.
31:34Oh, boy.
31:36Visually, the trumpet mushrooms look slightly undercooked.
31:39What happened?
31:39We just ran out of time.
31:42Shall we?
31:46OK.
31:52Undercooking and under-seasoning mushrooms like this
31:55makes them taste like dirty water.
31:58At least we're not the only ones.
32:00OK.
32:01So visually, how do we get tuna that cooked?
32:04That's almost so well-cooked, it could be canned tuna.
32:08Who cooked this?
32:09Adam got the sesame and everything on there.
32:12And as we were switching positions,
32:14I was taking turns of flipping it.
32:15Our timing was off on when it was.
32:17Oh, I got it.
32:18Someone makes that decision.
32:19Yes, chef.
32:21I don't know what to say.
32:23I'm just glad you guys aren't eating this.
32:25Mash is seasoned, big deal.
32:26But the hero, long gone.
32:29The sauce is completely over-reduced.
32:31It's broken.
32:32It looks, it's a disgrace.
32:35OK.
32:35The filet mignon, it looks hammered.
32:38And we're missing the red wine sauce.
32:40Who cooked the hockey puck?
32:43I did, chef.
32:45Yeah, that's well done.
32:47I never expected the team that was most behind on cooking
32:50their proteins to deliver such overcooked food like this.
33:00You could have taken a pot of boiling water
33:02and thrown a steak and potatoes in,
33:03and it would have come out better than what
33:05you guys managed to do here.
33:07Thank god we got some color on the crepes.
33:09But the rest of it looks pretty bad.
33:16The actual sauce tastes decent, but the crepes are too thick.
33:19So any form of sauce just gets absorbed.
33:23Eating these crepes is like eating a kitchen sponge.
33:27Oh my god.
33:28The one ingredient missing on all these plates, leadership.
33:32Such a shame.
33:35How'd you cook tuna that white?
33:37It's a shame.
33:40All right, Michael and Kim.
33:44Our dynamic actually worked out really well.
33:46I'm just hoping that the flavors pull through
33:48and the judges are happy with what we
33:50were able to get on the plate.
33:51The first time tonight, we have four cohesive dishes
33:54featuring every ingredient.
33:56First thing, the trumpet mushrooms.
33:57They look stunning.
34:04Mushrooms are seasoned beautifully
34:06under the right amount of herb vinaigrette.
34:08Good job.
34:09Perhaps the first dish tonight that really captured
34:11the essence of our prototype dish.
34:14So visually, the tuna's cooked beautifully.
34:16Mash looks creamy, rich.
34:24So tuna's nicely seasoned, and mash, absolutely spot-on.
34:28Really good job.
34:30Filet looks delicious, and I love the color
34:33on the red wine sauce.
34:34Who cooked the filet?
34:36I cooked the filet, and then Kimberly took it out.
34:40It's a beautiful mid-rare.
34:42Thank you, Chef.
34:43Nice.
34:48The sauce is so compelling and so delicious,
34:50and it really is something special
34:52when you have that with that beautiful piece of filet mignon.
34:54Thank you, Chef.
34:56Let's see if these crepes can be
34:57the crescendo to this very successful culinary opera.
35:01The first time tonight, we have some whipped cream
35:03with those crepes.
35:11So crepes taste good.
35:13I mean, honestly, I'm a touch longer in the pan.
35:15I'm nitpicking now, but they're really good.
35:18Both of you, well done.
35:22Good job, you two.
35:23Good job, buddy.
35:25I mean, the crepes weren't as good as Warren's,
35:26but they were good.
35:28Really good.
35:30OK, the final dishes we'd like to taste, Rebecca and Becca.
35:34Coming into this challenge, I chose Becca
35:37because I thought she would be the best teammate,
35:39but we really fizzled out, and it shows on the plates.
35:44OK, so visually, those mushrooms look so undercooked.
35:48Who cooked the mushrooms?
35:49I did.
35:50Wow.
35:57I would think that a cook like you
35:58would know that mushrooms are basically 90% water.
36:01You have to get the water out.
36:02If not, it tastes like pond water.
36:04Absolutely.
36:05Tuna.
36:06Oh, boy.
36:07As you can see over here, it's so cooked one side
36:10that it's not even evenly turned on that side.
36:12It's wrong.
36:18For me, the lack of wasabi in the mash is bringing this down.
36:21That's a shame.
36:23OK, filet.
36:24Who cooked the filet?
36:25I did.
36:26It's unevenly seared.
36:28I'm slightly concerned about the temperature inside.
36:37Oh, my god.
36:49Who cooked the filet?
36:50I did.
36:52I'm slightly concerned about the temperature inside.
36:57It is pink in the middle.
36:59Not bad.
37:00It's not bad.
37:06Steak is seasoned nicely.
37:07It just needs to be seared better.
37:10The sauce has a nice consistency.
37:12Crepes, so just a touch too thick there.
37:14You can see that, right?
37:15But all the elements are there.
37:17Good job.
37:23Crepes need a touch more cooking.
37:25Sauce tastes good.
37:26But everybody behind you saw you two as the sort
37:29But both of you know that this is not a front-running
37:31performance, right?
37:32Correct, chef.
37:33Thank you, ladies.
37:34Thank you, ladies.
37:35What a shame.
37:36And why not play to each other's strengths?
37:38But you get all the talent in the world there.
37:40That is not what I thought was going to happen.
37:44You've given us a lot to discuss.
37:46Excuse us, please.
37:47Shall we, gentlemen?
37:52Boy, it's a tough one, this one.
37:53Indeed.
37:54Very tough.
37:55Today confirms that you can only excel in this challenge
37:57if you can truly work as a team.
37:59As a team.
37:59So Hayley and Warren, they were good.
38:01Very good.
38:02Probably the best crepes we've had.
38:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:04Yeah.
38:05And Michael, Kimberly.
38:06They probably did the most complete menu.
38:08Absolutely.
38:09It was the most accurate.
38:10Horacio and Daniela.
38:11A lot of the food tasted really good.
38:13But the garnishes were on the wrong plate.
38:15That's true.
38:16Now we have to figure out which cook on the worst team
38:19is actually going home.
38:20This is killing me.
38:23Ready?
38:23Ingredients?
38:24Yeah.
38:29Right.
38:30There was one team who we felt really rose to the top
38:32of the competition tonight.
38:35Congratulations goes to the blue team, Michael and Kimberly.
38:42Congratulations, guys.
38:42You did a great job.
38:44You both win immunity and a big advantage as well.
38:48Good job, guys.
38:49Good job, young man.
38:50Feeling good?
38:51Yeah, I'm good.
38:52You're peaking at a good time, young man.
38:53Congratulations.
38:54Thank you so much.
38:55Come here.
38:56This immunity pin feels amazing.
38:58That was a hard challenge.
39:00But the best part is the tallest and the shortest
39:02won the challenge.
39:04So I think you messed up, Rebecca, because look
39:07who's in the top 10 now.
39:10Now, Joe, Aarona, myself, I feel there were three teams who
39:15performed shockingly bad.
39:17Please come down to the front.
39:19Rebecca and Becca, Mert and Kamei, and Jeet and Adam.
39:24Now, Rebecca and Becca, you started off
39:27as the favorites tonight.
39:28But we had a very underperforming end.
39:32Mert and Kamei, you're out of sync.
39:36Adam and Jeet, insufficient check-in with each other,
39:39and it showed on those dishes.
39:41Now, after a long discussion, we all
39:44agreed the worst performing team tonight was...
39:48The worst performing team tonight was...
39:54Adam and Jeet.
39:57Red team, it was very clear to us
39:59that one home cook was responsible for the majority
40:03of the mistakes.
40:04Therefore, the home cook leaving the competition tonight is...
40:12Jeet.
40:15All of you, say goodbye to Jeet.
40:18And make your way back to your stations.
40:28Oh, my god.
40:30Jeet, unfortunately, the ahi tuna and the filet mignon
40:34were way overcooked.
40:36And tonight, you just didn't step up.
40:40Jeet, a millennial super fan, right?
40:42Yes, chef.
40:43I know this is a big dream of yours.
40:45Well, it was a dream for Joe and Arun and myself
40:48to have you cook in this kitchen.
40:51Keep cooking, keep smiling, and of course, keep watching.
40:56Thank you, my darling.
40:56Come and say goodbye.
40:57Come on.
41:02I think being in this kitchen and getting
41:04to cook for the legends that are up there and making top 12,
41:08I never thought I'd be this far.
41:10So I'm extremely proud of what I've accomplished.
41:13Thanks for making such a great team, baby.
41:15I came here as a super fan, but now I'm leaving
41:19with the confidence of Chef Jeet.
41:23Bye, Jeet.
41:27Next time on MasterChef Generation,
41:29something's brewing.
41:31You will need to make a restaurant-quality dish
41:33featuring coffee.
41:34I'm going to show you how to make an amazing dish using
41:36coffee five ways and with a top 10 within reach.
41:38Oh, wow.
41:40Kimberly and Michael, you have an advantage.
41:41Think about hitting some direct targets.
41:44Man.
41:44Not happy right now.
41:4645-minute dessert is a nightmare.
41:48You can do this. You can do this.
41:49You can do this.
41:50Oh, dear God.
41:50What happened?
41:51I have to start over.
41:52Oh, no.
41:53You put her in that position.
41:54Lord, this is insane.
41:55Oh, my God.
41:56I think something went wrong along the way.
41:58It's like cappuccino and sand.
42:00I think it's safe to say that Michael and Kimberly wounded
42:02more than one target tonight.
42:07One potato, two potato.
42:11Oh, my God.
