00:00Previously on MasterChef Generations...
00:02Welcome to this amazing rock quarry.
00:05Diners are coming, guys. Ten minutes to go.
00:07Beautiful chicken, guys. Good job.
00:09Thanks, Captain!
00:11Arthur, you got to throw somebody on burgers right now.
00:13Alpha has got all these great ideas,
00:15but he's not talking much.
00:16You're the captain, man. Be confident.
00:18We haven't even started service, and we've run out of slaw.
00:21It's raw!
00:24Congratulations goes to...
00:26the blue team!
00:29I am feeling so good about winning.
00:31The person going home is Arthur.
00:34Bye, 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.
00:52We're gonna have some big issues.
00:54Switch! Let's go!
00:55Switch, 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!
01:02Magical!
01:03We need to start the crate?
01:04The most vicious pick so far.
01:06Go check your crate!
01:07This is not quite the dream team I had hoped for.
01:09Switch!
01:10You're killing me, man!
01:22Top 12.
01:24All right, all right.
01:25Exciting one, this one.
01:27One of my favorite challenges.
01:28It's a MasterChef classic.
01:35Yeah!
01:36I came into this competition as a super fan of MasterChef.
01:40To have made it to top 12 is just surreal.
01:43What is this?
01:45Oh, different colors?
01:46That's nice.
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.
01:58First of all, congratulations.
02:00Top 12.
02:01Come on!
02:05Now, Adam, can you switch places with Warren, please?
02:10Love that.
02:11Daniela, can you swap places with Becca, please?
02:15Hayley, swap places with Kamei, please.
02:19OK.
02:20That's better.
02:21Because starting right now, it's everyone for themselves.
02:26You are not cooking alongside your generation any longer.
02:31Nice.
02:32No more hiding behind the best cook of your generation.
02:36Wow.
02:37Tonight, you'll be facing the infamous Tag Team Challenge.
02:43You will work in pairs, switching back and forth
02:46to make not three this time, but four different dishes.
02:52Oh, man.
02:54This is our toughest Tag Team Challenge ever.
02:58It's 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, a classic Gen Z.
03:11King trumpet mushroom scallops over a delicious romesco
03:16finished with a herb vinaigrette.
03:19Oh, 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, we have a delicious pan-roasted filet
03:39mignon with a red wine mushroom sauce,
03:41fingerling potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
03:44Filet mignon, mid-rare in the center.
03:47Yes, Chef.
03:48Absolutely.
03:49Last but not least, our dessert.
03:51You can't get more baby boomers than this,
03:54an incredible flambéed crepe Suzette
03:58with a beautiful orange sauce
04:00finished with a Chantilly cream.
04:03Oh, dear God.
04:04All four of these dishes require precise timing,
04:08so make sure that you and your teammates stay in sync.
04:13Yes, Chef.
04:14Speaking 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, they both are pretty scattered,
04:53so there's a possibility that they will have a train wreck.
04:56Okay, next merch.
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.
05:09They're both very quiet,
05:11so that could be a detriment to them.
05:14Okay.
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
05:44not because he's tall and I'm short,
05:46but because he's strong and she thinks I'm weak,
05:49and so I need to prove that I am a good cook.
05:52Okay, so listen closely.
05:54You'll be taking turns.
05:55One of you cooks,
05:56and one of you stands on the side.
05:58And when we call switch, you switch places.
06:00Understood?
06:01Yes, Chef.
06:02Now, the two home cooks
06:05who make the best dishes tonight
06:08will both earn immunity pins.
06:13This pin puts you straight into the top ten.
06:19And both of you will have a huge advantage
06:22in the next challenge.
06:24Now, one cook from the worst-performing team tonight
06:27will be leaving this competition.
06:29Make sure it's not you.
06:30Yes, Chef.
06:31Tonight, you've got to think very, very carefully
06:34who's gonna go first and who's gonna bring it home.
06:37Which means plating at the end.
06:38A very important decision.
06:39Okay, head to your stations.
06:41I do think that Becca and I will be a powerhouse team
06:44because we've both been in the top several times,
06:46so I think we are fierce and we're ready to win.
06:49All right, we got this.
06:50I'll get us going, I'll get us prepped up and ready to go.
06:52As soon as you come back in, you know, you can...
06:54You just tell me where to take over.
06:55Exactly.
06:56We're doing basically primary responsibilities by plate.
06:58If you don't finish something,
06:59have the other person finish it for you
07:00and walk them through.
07:01All 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.
07:17Go 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.
07:54Go, girl.
07:55Warren is a great team player,
07:56but our weaknesses can possibly be the age difference.
07:59All right, what do you want me to do next?
08:02I can't hear you.
08:03Warren 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.
08:09Cheer me on, buddy.
08:10Cheer me on.
08:11Come on, Haley.
08:12You got it going, girl.
08:13Horacio, quick repeal.
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.
08:30Cut even pieces so that they cook evenly.
08:32Looking good, Horacio.
08:33Halfway through the potatoes.
08:35You got it, you got it.
08:36Adam is a soft-spoken guy,
08:38and 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, it should be fine.
08:50I'm gonna have to bring all that voice for our team
08:55and take the lead.
08:56All right, we're good.
08:57That looks good, Mike.
08:58Perfect, that's good.
08:59Not yet, a little bit more.
09:00Mr. 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 go to 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
09:44just so it can cool for me.
09:45Perfect.
09:46I would leave those crepes for the last ten minutes
09:48because they cook so fast.
09:50Butter 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 every step of the way.
09:57What percentage of soy sauce is going into the sauce
09:59versus the vinegar?
10:00I don't know.
10:01Well, then you should make sure you taste early.
10:03I know, I know.
10:04Two and a half minutes to go before 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?
10:11Obviously the filet,
10:12because 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 before our first switch.
10:25Stand by.
10:26All right, let's taste, Mert.
10:27This is a different spoon,
10:28so we're not cross-contaminating, you hear me?
10:30May can be a pretty strong personality.
10:32I don't know if I can deal with that type of drama
10:34while I'm cooking.
10:35I would start with half the amount of 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 proved myself the 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,
10:56you can add more soy sauce if it's too sweet, okay?
10:59Mert?
11:00Mert?
11:01You hear me?
11:1160 seconds to go before our first switch.
11:14Let's go!
11:15So how did the sauce taste?
11:17The 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.
11:28Go, go, go, go.
11:29Let's go, Warren, let's go!
11:31Season the meat, season the meat.
11:33All right, so I'm gonna finish cutting 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.
11:40See if we can get these Brussels sprouts
11:41in the oven, too.
11:42Okay.
11:43Throw it in the oven.
11:44A little faster, we gotta go.
11:45I got it.
11:46Let's go, guys.
11:47First ten minutes gone.
11:48Just roll that, roll that,
11:49coat it in that.
11:50Good job, good job.
11:51Do we need to toast the sesame seeds?
11:53Sesame seed is after done.
11:54It gets cooked with the sesame seeds.
11:56No, sesame seed was raw.
11:58It wasn't raw, chef.
12:00He's saying to add the sesame seeds
12:02after it's cooked.
12:04No, it should be coated in the sesame seeds, right?
12:06A little touch of oil there.
12:07What takes longer to cook,
12:08the fillet or the tuna?
12:10Uh, the fillet.
12:11The fillet takes longer than a...
12:12Absolutely.
12:13So why can't you talk to her?
12:14Make sure the pans are hot
12:15before you do anything.
12:16Yes, Horacio.
12:17Okay, support each other.
12:18Yes.
12:19Yes, sir.
12:20And focus on those proteins.
12:21Good luck.
12:22How's the sauce looking?
12:25Still salty.
12:26How much soy sauce are you putting in?
12:27I just put a normal amount.
12:29You want to do the vinaigrette
12:30or kale first?
12:31I'll prep the kale.
12:32Okay.
12:33All the way, even, even.
12:34Make sure you get it all around.
12:35That's good.
12:36Seasoned meat.
12:37We're here with the dream team
12:39that you've created.
12:40How do you feel you guys got out the gate?
12:41Did you set you guys up for success or what?
12:43I think we have.
12:44We've got a lot accomplished already.
12:46He's seasoning our meat right now.
12:48I would say you couldn't be more dissimilar
12:51as far as your age
12:52and your experience in the kitchen.
12:54Do you think that will help or hurt you?
12:55I think it'll help us.
12:56I really do.
12:57She's, like, the young version of me.
12:58Hey, don't over-season, okay?
13:00Fish next.
13:01Season.
13:02Sorry.
13:03No, it's good.
13:04Good luck.
13:05Thank you, chefs.
13:07Let's try to get that steak in.
13:08Salt and pepper it first, or...
13:09Yep, salt and pepper on there.
13:10Let's get it on.
13:11It needs to rest.
13:1260 seconds to go
13:13to the next switch.
13:15Stand by.
13:16Let's go.
13:17Oy, oy, oy.
13:18How's the steak looking?
13:19Steak's looking good.
13:20You put garlic in there?
13:21The garlic can come in a second.
13:2215 seconds until we switch.
13:24Get it in the pan.
13:25Get it in the pan.
13:26Is it hot?
13:27Pan's hot?
13:28Yes.
13:29You finish off the steak?
13:30Yep, yep.
13:31All right, get ready.
13:32Three, two, one.
13:33Switch.
13:34Switch.
13:35Go, go, go, go.
13:36You got it.
13:37You got it.
13:38You got it.
13:39All right, switch, switch, switch.
13:40Give me the base.
13:41Yep.
13:42Okay, we're doing fish first or meat?
13:43Both at the same time, okay?
13:44Let's go, Haley.
13:46You go, girl.
13:47Oh, Haley, you're rocking.
13:48Horacio.
13:49Yep.
13:50Rosemary, butter, baste.
13:54Looks good, looks good.
13:55You know how to do a perfect steak, Mike.
13:57You got this.
13:58All right, guys, this is a pivotal moment
14:00in the tag team challenge because now you're searing
14:02your meats, you're cooking the tuna.
14:03This is the heart of the cook.
14:05Yeah.
14:06The ahi only needs 60 seconds on each side,
14:08so they need to keep an eye on that.
14:10And anything over medium rare on a filet is bad news.
14:13Yes.
14:14You're going to keep basting that,
14:15and then we're going to probably pop it in the oven.
14:17No, I'll let you do it.
14:18I'm going to baste it a little bit.
14:20No, you can't let me do it.
14:21I can't sit there and not cook.
14:22All right.
14:23Just let me know when I put it in the oven.
14:25You should put it in now, Mert.
14:27Now?
14:28Yes.
14:29All right, the steak in the oven.
14:33Yep, go ahead and start ricing those potatoes.
14:35Ah!
14:37Pan hot?
14:38Yeah.
14:39All right, 15 seconds.
14:41You sure about 15 seconds, not 30?
14:43No, it's less time than that.
14:44Okay.
14:45All right, guys, so what do you think
14:47about Rebecca's strategy of pairing kamehameha
14:50and Mert?
14:51I think Rebecca's target here is kameh
14:53as a potential threat.
14:54That's the most vicious pick.
14:56That's right.
14:57Exactly.
14:58Mert's sort of casual, frat boy, relaxed,
15:00and you've got kameh that's on it,
15:01that wants it done now.
15:02We have got to get started on the tuna.
15:05What are you going to do?
15:06With the orange team,
15:07we have Haley, who's a strong personality,
15:09and you have Warren, who's more subdued,
15:11and he's the oldest competitor.
15:12There's a 46-year age gap between Warren and Haley.
15:15That could either be a real positive attribute
15:18or a very, very difficult choice.
15:21Absolutely.
15:22You have a pan that's ready there for your ahi?
15:24A little bit.
15:25No, no, don't cook with sesame oil.
15:26You should.
15:27Yeah, I'm sure, positive.
15:28Cook with grapeseed oil.
15:29Green team, Horacio and Daniela.
15:31Horacio, he has no idea what's going on.
15:34Was that pan hot?
15:35Uh...
15:36Yep.
15:37I think Horacio, as a very wild guy,
15:39might have the hardest time in this challenge.
15:41He has to listen.
15:42That's right.
15:43That's it, not too much.
15:45Not enough.
15:46Just a drizzle.
15:47I need more soy in this.
15:49So, Jeet and Adam is a very challenging pairing
15:51because I think neither of them are very vocal, right?
15:53Sure, yeah.
15:54They've been the quietest team so far.
15:56Okay, check the sear of the steak.
15:58I think it's good.
15:59Okay, all right, in the oven.
16:00Let's go, let's go, let's go.
16:02And then, of course, Rebecca.
16:03She takes the cream of the crop.
16:04Rebecca.
16:05But you have two alpha leaders.
16:07You put two people like that,
16:09they both have the instinct to take charge.
16:11It could spell trouble.
16:12Yeah, interesting.
16:13Be gentle with it.
16:15I think it needs to sear it a little bit more.
16:17You sure?
16:18Yes.
16:19We're buying 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.
16:35It just looks like it's separated a little bit.
16:37We can strain it.
16:38Yeah, we'll strain it.
16:39I'll take care of the red wine sauce.
16:4030 seconds to switch.
16:41Stand by.
16:42Ooh, this is...
16:44It's hot.
16:45Okay.
16:46Okay, Rebecca, when I get on him,
16:47I'll work on the mash,
16:48then I'm gonna work on the french fries.
16:49I can't hear a thing.
16:50I can't hear you, I can't hear you.
16:51Three, two, one, and switch!
16:54Let's go!
16:55Come on!
16:56Nice job, Boomer!
16:57Stato's are looking good?
16:58Yes.
16:59All right, and we got the Brussels working in the oven.
17:01Okay, I'm starting the batter.
17:02Start crepes.
17:03We're looking really good, Kimberly.
17:04I think we're on top of it.
17:05What sauce do you want to do?
17:06You want to do the ginger soy,
17:07or do you want to do the orange one?
17:09Do the orange one.
17:10I'll do the...
17:11Whichever one you're more comfortable with.
17:13Okay.
17:14Right, Adam and G, where are we?
17:17We're done with the Brussels sprouts.
17:18We are also parboiling our fingerling potatoes.
17:20But let's talk about the proteins.
17:21Is the filet mignon resting?
17:22Yes.
17:23What temperature is it?
17:24Oh, we haven't cooked it yet.
17:25You haven't cooked it yet?
17:26No.
17:27Get the filet on.
17:28Come on, guys.
17:29Is the tuna seared?
17:30No, chef.
17:31The tuna and the steak aren't done,
17:32but we're working on the elements
17:33for both those dishes.
17:34But, hey, why are we upside down?
17:36You're the only team that hasn't got their protein on.
17:39Come on, guys.
17:40You're both behind.
17:41Don't waste time.
17:43Oh, boy.
17:47Adam and G, you're the only team
17:49that hasn't got their protein on.
17:51Come on, guys.
17:52You're both behind.
17:53Don't waste time.
17:54You need to speed up.
17:55Yes, chef.
17:56Let's go.
17:57Add wasabi first.
17:58You're gonna add probably a teaspoon.
18:00Good job, good job.
18:01You're doing awesome.
18:02Keep mixing.
18:03Good.
18:04Yes.
18:05Two minutes to go.
18:06It's all switched.
18:07Do you want a pan hot for tuna as well?
18:09Sure, yeah.
18:10My big worry right now is the red team
18:12with Adam and G.
18:13They're going to have to make a decision.
18:15The red team with Adam and G,
18:17they 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.
18:24You're gonna have to guide me on those temps, okay?
18:26Okay, I got you.
18:27Check that red wine reduction and strain it.
18:29Oh, no.
18:30This is broken.
18:31Oh, my gosh.
18:32So I'm spending so much time
18:34remaking the sauces that Mert started in the beginning.
18:37So I'm gonna start the red sauce again,
18:39but we really gotta pay attention to it.
18:41And it's incredibly frustrating
18:42because instead of making progress,
18:44I'm wasting time.
18:45Watch that for me.
18:46You got me?
18:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:4815 seconds until we switch.
18:50Okay, good, good, good.
18:51You got that going.
18:52Be thinking about what's next.
18:53All right, I'm trying to think what's next.
18:55Think, think, think.
18:58Three, two, one, switch!
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.
19:08Okay.
19:09Right, by now,
19:10all your proteins should be rested.
19:11Now you start on that trumpet mushroom.
19:13Nice.
19:14Nice, nice.
19:15Beautiful.
19:16Get a good color on those.
19:18We need to start the crepes,
19:19and we need to start the mushrooms.
19:21Sear the mushroom scallops.
19:22I 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
19:33and saying, do this, do this.
19:35I'm just really not used to that.
19:36I'm used to being the one that barks the orders.
19:39Okay, we gotta move, girl.
19:40I know, I know.
19:41Everybody, listen up.
19:42Start your crepe.
19:44Let's get crepes going.
19:45Let's go.
19:46We need three crepes.
19:47Three crepes.
19:48Make it thin.
19:49Oh, sugar.
19:51All right, I think the tuna might be seared.
19:53Look at this.
19:54Yep.
19:55Good job.
19:56Okay, flip it.
19:57Perfect, perfect.
19:58Flip it, girl.
19:59Yes, yes.
20:00Mert, be careful.
20:02Oh, 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 gonna do the red wine sauce.
20:24I'm frustrated because G wanted to step up and lead,
20:27but she is really struggling.
20:29Oh, I'm not gonna be able to do this.
20:31So I'm worried that we're not gonna 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.
20:49Mark!
20:50You'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 gonna melt.
20:58Mexico!
20:59Mexico!
21:00Mexico!
21:01I don't know where I cut it.
21:03OK, 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.
21:13Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
21:153, 2, 1, switch!
21:19For 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, off the Brussels sprouts.
21:33I will.
21:34I need to babysit this a little bit, though.
21:37Come on, Daniela.
21:38OK, dip them.
21:40All right, let's go.
21:41Just under seven minutes remaining.
21:43Let's go.
21:44Got to start plating.
21:45Start plating.
21:46Bring it home, guys.
21:47Bring it home.
21:48We never cook those mushrooms.
21:49You got it.
21:50We can cook them.
21:51Oh, thanks.
21:52We need to get our mushrooms done.
21:53Oh, my goodness.
21:54Stay calm.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Put those on top of each other.
21:57How are those mushrooms?
21:58Are they almost cooked?
21:59They're going.
22:00They're going.
22:01They're going.
22:02The mushrooms aren't even cooked.
22:03But why aren't the mushrooms cooked?
22:04Because we're focusing on plating.
22:05Mushrooms are way more important.
22:06OK, yes, chef.
22:07Get the mushrooms plating!
22:08Get the mushrooms plating!
22:09Sugar.
22:10Check on those mushrooms.
22:11I think they're good.
22:12You can take them out.
22:13OK, they're good?
22:14I think so.
22:15Oh, the kale's all in the center.
22:16OK, then let's see.
22:17OK, now put the tuna on top.
22:18Put the tuna on top.
22:19Keep going, Kimberly.
22:20Keep going.
22:21Keep going.
22:22Keep going.
22:23What goes first?
22:24Go with the kale down.
22:25You put 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
22:38or 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, keep going, keep going.
22:51Are 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.
22:57Good, good, good.
22:58Good job.
22:59Keep going, keep 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.
23:10Hands in the air.
23:11Go.
23:12After Daniela.
23:13Ah.
23:15Yes, Daniela.
23:16Oh, my God.
23:17We did it.
23:18That was crazy, man.
23:20That was crazy.
23:21We were good as steam.
23:22Ugh.
23:23I just hope we did enough.
23:25It was hell.
23:26We didn't finish the Brussels sprouts?
23:28We didn't get the kale on.
23:29No.
23:30Oh, fuck.
23:31I cannot believe this.
23:33Oh, fuck.
23:34Kale.
23:35Damn.
23:37We got everything.
23:38Everything.
23:39Everything is on.
23:40I hope the cook on the meat is good.
23:43This challenge was way harder than I thought it would be.
23:46We'll just see what they think, OK?
23:48I had so many high hopes for this team,
23:50and it just didn't play out.
23:52It's like a knife through the heart.
23:54It's embarrassing, it's disappointing,
23:56and I'm worried about my team.
23:59All right.
24:10Well done, all of you.
24:12Now that was a challenge, right?
24:13It was incredible.
24:14Now it's time to taste all of your dishes
24:17and find out who's on top
24:19and who may be leaving the competition tonight.
24:22First up, Hayley and Warren, please.
24:25This challenge is harder than any other team challenge
24:27we've done so far, but I love Warren.
24:29For us to be two completely different generations
24:32and to come together and really rock this,
24:34I'm so proud of us.
24:35Right, let's start off with the Gen Z-inspired appetizer.
24:39Visually, the trumpet mushrooms, they look good.
24:41Nice sear, great color.
24:43Shall we dig in, gents?
24:44Yes.
24:52Delicious.
24:53Seasoned beautifully,
24:54and that vinaigrette is a little touch greasy.
24:56However, the hero, mushrooms cooked beautifully.
24:58The dish is spot on.
24:59Flavorful, well executed, well done.
25:02Thank you, Chef.
25:03Right, the crusted tuna.
25:05Visually, it looks slightly overcooked.
25:08It's also lacking in that crust of sesame,
25:10so it's not an even coating.
25:11It isn't.
25:17For me, the dish tastes delicious.
25:19Yeah, the mash, it has that perfect amount of wasabi.
25:22Mm.
25:23And I love how the ginger came through in the sauce,
25:25so good job.
25:27Okay, we've got the filet mignon.
25:30Visually, it is good.
25:31Great sear on the filet.
25:32In terms of the temperature, what did you do?
25:35Go for medium rare.
25:36Medium rare.
25:37Who cooked this?
25:38That would be me.
25:41That's a beautiful mid-rare.
25:42Oh, breathe.
25:44Beautifully done.
25:49Sauce a little bit over reduced.
25:50However, the steak is now beautifully well done.
25:52Mm.
25:53For me, the caramelization on the brussel sprouts
25:55is spot on,
25:56and I love the fact that you didn't hammer
25:58the 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.
26:07So, crepes are delicious.
26:10And that sauce, plombé, picture perfect.
26:13Crepes were seasoned properly.
26:15Sauce tastes good.
26:16So that's a success from my perspective.
26:22Flavor-wise, they were very, very accurate.
26:25Steak was amazing.
26:27All right, so the next dishes we want to taste
26:29is from Horacio and Daniela.
26:31I feel really strong.
26:35I feel really stressed out.
26:37We finished what we could do,
26:39but the dishes is incomplete.
26:41And this make me extremely nervous.
26:44So visually, trumpet mushrooms,
26:46it's missing the herb vinaigrette,
26:47so it looks a little bit dry.
26:56These mushrooms are cooked perfectly
26:57and seasoned perfectly.
26:59It's too bad the dish is incomplete.
27:01Okay, now let's deal with the elephant in the room.
27:04Who put the Brussels sprouts on the tuna?
27:05I did, Chef.
27:06Right.
27:07Where did the Brussels sprouts go?
27:08On the steak, Chef.
27:15Tuna's delicious.
27:16Tuna's seasoned beautifully,
27:17and it's absolutely spot-on.
27:19Thank you, Chef.
27:20Thank you, Chef.
27:21Okay, the filet mignon with the wrong garnish,
27:23but filet looks delicious.
27:27And it's a beautiful mid-rare.
27:29Thank you, Chef.
27:30Thank you, Chef.
27:34Delicious.
27:35Thank you, Joe.
27:36The fingerling potatoes are nice and crispy.
27:38The actual kale is super crispy as well.
27:40It's actually delicious.
27:41It just doesn't go with this dish.
27:43Right, crepes.
27:45Where's the sauce for the crepes?
27:47The crepes were cooked in the sauce and then folded.
27:50So it's absorbed in there.
27:51It's absorbed in there.
27:52Okay, and no whipped cream.
27:53We did not have time to do that, Chef.
28:04The crepes are absolutely delicious.
28:06Delicious.
28:07I mean, they're crispy, they're delicious.
28:08Gentle, gentle, gentle.
28:10You okay?
28:11Yeah.
28:12Thank you, Daniela.
28:13Gracias.
28:14Thank you, Chef.
28:18It's a shame because they actually got a lot of components spot-on.
28:21Yeah, but it's like mix and match.
28:22I don't go to the Savoy Grill when I order the broccoli.
28:24They could bring me bok choy.
28:25No.
28:26Right?
28:27No.
28:28We did good.
28:29Okay, the next team's dish we'd like to taste is Kamei and Mert.
28:33I am feeling so scared
28:35because a lot of our plates are 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, but 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.
29:02It's a plate.
29:04A lot of mistakes there.
29:05Yeah.
29:06Wow.
29:18Mert and Kamei.
29:20Visually, it's a mess, guys.
29:22When you're missing so many components,
29:24it'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.
29:57So the tuna's cooked beautifully.
29:58It's just under-seasoned.
30:00It's bland.
30:01Yeah, I think the saving grace here is that wasabi mash.
30:03It has the spice.
30:04It has that sort of wake-up power that the tuna needs.
30:07So the filet mignon, I mean, it looks hammered.
30:11Who cooked this?
30:12I seasoned and got the sear on the stove.
30:15I don't need a bedtime story.
30:17I just need who cooked the filet.
30:18I did, Chef.
30:20So 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.
30:41The crepes look rushed.
30:42Where's the orange segments and the whipped cream?
30:44I had time to make a sauce and zest, but 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 looks 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 couldn't care less
31:11about each other, let alone their food.
31:13Thank you, Kaveh.
31:14Understood.
31:16Yeah.
31:17Perfect example of two individuals
31:18not working together.
31:19Two different little cooking styles, man.
31:22Next up, Jeet and Adam.
31:24I'm feeling very nervous.
31:25We're missing a couple of elements.
31:28But at this point, I'm just hanging on to hope
31:30that Martin Kamei maybe did slightly worse
31:33than what we did.
31:35Oh, boy.
31:36Visually, the trumpet mushrooms look slightly undercooked.
31:39What happened?
31:40We just ran out of time.
31:42Shall we?
31:51Undercooking and under-seasoning mushrooms like this
31:54makes them taste like dirty water.
31:58At least we're not the only ones.
31:59OK.
32:00So visually, how do we get tuna that cooked?
32:03That's almost so well-cooked, it could be canned tuna.
32:07Who cooked this?
32:08Adam got the sesame and everything on there.
32:11And as we were switching positions,
32:13I was taking turns of flipping it.
32:14So you decided to cook it, overcook it like that?
32:16Our timing was off on when we tasted it.
32:18Oh, I got it.
32:19Someone makes that decision.
32:20Yes, chef.
32:22I don't know what to say.
32:24I'm just glad you guys aren't eating this.
32:26Under-season, big deal.
32:27But the hero, long gone.
32:30The sauce is completely over-reduced.
32:32It's broken.
32:33It's a disgrace.
32:35OK.
32:36The filet mignon, it looks hammered.
32:38And we're missing the red wine sauce.
32:41Who cooked the hockey puck?
32:44I did, chef.
32:45Yeah.
32:46That's well done.
32:47I never expected the team that was
32:49most behind on cooking their proteins
32:51to deliver such overcooked food like this.
32:57You could have taken a pot of boiling water
32:59and thrown a steak and potatoes in
33:01and it would have come out better than what
33:03you guys managed to do here.
33:05Thank god we got some color on the crepes.
33:07But the rest of it looks pretty bad.
33:14The actual sauce tastes decent.
33:16But the crepes are too thick.
33:18So any form of sauce just gets absorbed.
33:22Eating these crepes is like eating a sandwich.
33:26Eating these crepes is like eating a kitchen sponge.
33:29Oh my god.
33:30The one ingredient missing on all these plates?
33:33Leadership.
33:34Such a shame.
33:37How'd you cook tuna that white?
33:39It's a shame.
33:42All right, Michael and Kim.
33:45Our dynamic actually worked out really well.
33:48I'm just hoping that the flavors pull through
33:50and the judges are happy with what we were able to get
33:52on the plate.
33:53We have four cohesive dishes featuring every ingredient.
33:55First thing, the trumpet mushrooms.
33:57They look stunning.
34:04Mushrooms are seasoned beautifully
34:05and at the right amount of herb vinaigrette.
34:07Good job.
34:08Perhaps the first dish tonight that really captured
34:10the essence of our prototype dish.
34:14So visually, the tuna's cooked beautifully.
34:16Mash looks creamy, rich.
34:23So tuna's nicely seasoned and mashed absolutely spot on.
34:27Really good job.
34:29Filet looks delicious, and I love the color
34:32on the red wine sauce.
34:33Who cooked the filet?
34:34I cooked the filet, and then Kimberly took it out.
34:38It's a beautiful mid-rare.
34:40Thank you, Chef.
34:41Nice.
34:47The sauce is so compelling and so delicious,
34:49and it really is something special when you have it
34:52with that beautiful piece of filet mignon.
34:54Thank you, Chef.
34:55Let's see if these crepes can be the crescendo
34:58to this very successful culinary opera.
35:00The first time tonight, we have some whipped cream
35:03with those crepes.
35:10So crepes taste good.
35:12I mean, honestly, it's much longer in the pan.
35:15I'm nitpicking now, but they're really good.
35:17Both of you, well done.
35:22Good job, guys.
35:23Me too.
35:24Good job, buddy.
35:25I mean, the crepes weren't as good as Warren's,
35:27but 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.
35:43OK, so visually, those mushrooms look so undercooked.
35:47Who cooked the mushrooms?
35:48I did.
35:49Wow.
35:52Wow.
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
36:20is bringing this down.
36:21That's a shame.
36:22OK, filet.
36:23Who cooked the filet?
36:24I did.
36:25It's unevenly seared.
36:27I'm slightly concerned about the temperature inside.
36:48Who cooked the filet?
36:50I did.
36:51I'm slightly concerned about the temperature inside.
36:57It is pink in the middle.
36:59Not bad.
37:05Steak is seasoned nicely.
37:06It just needs to be seared better.
37:08The sauce has a nice consistency.
37:10Crepes.
37:11So just a touch too thick there.
37:13You can see that, right?
37:14But all the elements are there.
37:15Good job.
37:21Crepes need a touch more cooking.
37:23Sauce tastes good.
37:24But everybody behind you saw you two
37:26as the sort of front runners in tonight.
37:28But both of you know that this is not
37:30a front running performance, right?
37:31Yes, chef.
37:32Thank you, ladies.
37:34Thank you, ladies.
37:35What a shame.
37:36And why not play to each other's strengths?
37:37But you get all the talent in the world there.
37:39That is not what I thought was going to happen.
37:42Now, you've given us a lot to discuss.
37:45Excuse us, please.
37:46Shall we, gentlemen?
37:51Boy, it's a tough one, this one.
37:52Indeed.
37:53Very tough.
37:54Today confirms that you can only excel in this challenge
37:57if you can truly work as a team.
37:58As a team.
37:59So Haley and Warren, they were good.
38:01Very good.
38:02Probably the best crepes we've had.
38:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:04Yeah.
38:05And Michael, Kimberly.
38:06They probably did the most complete menu.
38:08Yeah, absolutely.
38:09And it 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.
38:14That's true.
38:15Now we have to figure out which cook on the worst team
38:18is actually going home.
38:20This is killing me.
38:22Ready?
38:23In agreeance?
38:24Yeah.
38:29Right.
38:30There was one team who we felt really rose to the top
38:33of the competition tonight.
38:35Congratulations goes to the blue team, Michael and Kimberly.
38:42Congratulations, guys.
38:43You did a great job.
38:44You both win immunity and a big advantage as well.
38:48Good job, guys.
38:49Good job.
38:50Feeling good?
38:51Feeling good.
38:52You're peaking at a good time, young man.
38:53Congratulations.
38:54Thank you, sir.
38:55Amazing.
38:57Come here.
38:58This immunity pin feels amazing.
38:59That was a hard challenge.
39:00But the best part is the tallest and the shortest
39:03won the challenge.
39:04So I think you messed up, Rebecca, because look
39:07who's in the top 10 now.
39:11Now, Joe, Arana, myself, Phil, there were three teams
39:15who performed shockingly bad.
39:18Please come down to the front.
39:20Rebecca and Becca, Mert and Kamei, and Jeet and Adam.
39:27Now, Rebecca and Becca, you started off
39:29as the favorites tonight.
39:31But we had a very underperforming end.
39:35Mert and Kamei, you were out of sync.
39:38Adam and Jeet, insufficient check-in with each other.
39:41And it showed on those dishes.
39:44Now, after a long discussion, we all
39:47agreed the worst performing team tonight
39:50was Adam and Jeet.
39:57Red team, it was very clear to us
39:59that one home cook was responsible
40:02for the majority of the mistakes.
40:04Therefore, the home cook leaving the competition tonight
40:07is Jeet.
40:15All of you, say goodbye to Jeet and make your way back
40:18to your stations.
40:21Oh, 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 Arana and myself
40:48to have you cook in this kitchen.
40:51Keep cooking.
40:52Keep smiling.
40:53And of course, keep watching.
40:55Thank you, my darling.
40:56Come and say goodbye.
40:57Come on.
41:00Good luck.
41:01I think being in this kitchen and getting
41:03to cook for the legends that are up there and making top 12,
41:07I never thought I'd be this far.
41:09So I'm extremely proud of what I've accomplished.
41:12Thanks for making such a great team.
41:15I came here as a super fan, but now I'm
41:19leaving with the confidence of Chef Jeet.
41:23Bye, Jeet.
41:27Next time on MasterChef Generations, something's
41:30brewing.
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 the top 10 within reach.
41:39Kimberly and Michael, you have an advantage.
41:41Think about hitting some direct targets.
41:44I'm not happy right now.
41:4645-minute dessert.
41:47It's a nightmare.
41:48You can do this, you can do this, you can do this.
41:49Oh, dear God.
41:50What happened?
41:51I have to start over.
41:52Oh, no.
41:53You put her in that position.
41:54Lord.
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.
