00:00The cast of Dimension 20 will be competing in challenges testing basic culinary skills.

00:06Each round reveals the weakest link.

00:09Who is the strongest to survive?

00:17Sack.

00:18You are a hungry wanderer.

00:20Carefully try to fill your sack with exactly one pound of food.

00:24Oh no, not imperial.

00:27When time is up, you will weigh your bounty.

00:30Two points for who is closest without going over.

00:33Last place or going over gets you zero points.

00:36Ready?

00:38I'm ready.

00:42Oh, okay. Some things are weightier than others.

00:45How much is a pound? 16 ounces.

00:48That's right, right?

00:50Nobody's talking to me because they're really hyper-focused.

00:54Whose strategy is mixing up the foods?

00:56That's crazy.

01:00I'm just gonna stop there.

01:01What?

01:02Don't look at my food.

01:03Don't you ever look at my food.

01:07Is this edible?

01:08I'm afraid I went over.

01:09I'm so scared.

01:10Hands off!

01:11Hands off!

01:12Oh!

01:13And knives down.

01:14I'm cooked.

01:15I did this wrong.

01:16Put all the potatoes in there.

01:17You put every potato?

01:19Well, it's not the biggest.

01:20I couldn't have a clue at all.

01:22Guys, it's time to shut up.

01:23I want to watch them.

01:24I'm about to measure this.

01:25My strategy was all strawberries.

01:27That's it.

01:28Stop thinking about it.

01:29And here we go.

01:30That's four pounds.

01:32What's that?

01:33495.

01:34Four ounces?

01:35I feel great.

01:36This feels great.

01:37I'm at 7.56.

01:39Can we curse?

01:40I could have put in a whole nother three potatoes in here and been good.

01:45Okay.

01:485-8.

01:49Tough.

01:50Feels great.

01:51I might go over.

01:52I can't tell.

01:53I just put all the potatoes in.

01:54I don't think you will.

01:566-6-6.

02:00That's crazy.

02:01It's literally 6-6-6.

02:02Time out.

02:03I don't feel safe.

02:04Those are the devil's potatoes.

02:05The devil's potatoes.

02:06It's been a while since I've been in any scenario at all where I had to weigh food.

02:20And I was going by what in my head I called heft.

02:24And putting all the strawberries in the bag had a surprising amount of heft to me.

02:28Could I whip that at something?

02:30Yeah.

02:31And to me that meant a pound.

02:33And I really realized I have to step up my game and I'm going to do that right now.

02:39Cheese.

02:40You're a keen sniffer.

02:42Blindfolded, each player smells one cheese at a time.

02:45First, to shout correct answer gets a point.

02:47I got this.

02:48I got this.

02:49Only one guess permitted.

02:50Five cheeses to smell.

02:52Ready?

02:53Can I ask how much money Siobhan paid you guys?

02:56Yeah, totally.

02:57To stack the deck against us.

02:58To have all of her culinary training come down to this.

03:02All cheese looks the same though.

03:04What?

03:08I can't find it.

03:12Cheddar.

03:14American cheddar, not cheddar from my country.

03:16The next cheese is going to definitely be some cheddar with whatever it is.

03:26Three.

03:27Parmesan.

03:28.

03:29Parmigiano.

03:30Parmigiano.

03:31Oh, that's good.

03:32I feel like I'm David Lynch.

03:33You feel like David Lynch.

03:34Everyone's going so fast that I just yelled out of cheese.

03:35David Lynch would end every night in a little morsel of cheese that his wife would hand him straight into his palm.

03:40That's really cute.

03:41What the f*** are you talking about?

03:42Dude, read a book.

03:43How about that?

03:44Read.

03:45No.

03:46.

03:47Corkonzola.

03:48Blue cheese.

03:49Corkonzola was way off.

03:50We don't have to cover it if we have blindfolds on.

03:54It's mine.

03:55It's mine.

03:56He stole mine.

03:57That's not fair.

03:58Who did that?

03:59That's a Gouda job.

04:00Zach fully stole my piece of cheese.

04:01You gotta get your elbows up in cheese game.

04:03I'm just saying you have no proof.

04:05Brie.

04:06Brie.

04:07Is this a blouse?

04:08I know I already guessed.

04:09This is soft cheese.

04:10Oh, is it porcelaino?

04:11Oh, is it porcelaino?

04:12No.

04:13Oh, no.

04:14That's a good job.

04:15Oh, no.

04:16It's mine.

04:17It's mine.

04:18It's mine.

04:19It's mine.

04:20It's mine.

04:21It's mine.

04:22It's mine.

04:23It's mine.

04:24That's not fair.

04:25Who did that?

04:26That's a good job.

04:27Zach fully stole my piece of cheese.

04:29You gotta get your elbows up in cheese game.

04:31I'm just saying you have no proof.

04:34Brie.

04:35Oh, it feels like porcelaino.

04:36What's the other one that's, like, stinkier?

04:37Is that Brie?

04:38Broquefort?

04:39What are some other cheeses?

04:40Salami.

04:41Taleggio was the correct.

04:42I knew it was Taleggio.

04:44I've been saying that.

04:46Fabulous.

04:51You need me up there?

04:55Look, there's no easy way to say this.

04:57I failed you again.

04:58I couldn't think of any cheeses.

05:00I really panicked out there.

05:01I'm sorry.

05:02It won't happen again.

05:03I'll see you in a little bit.

05:05Whisk.

05:06You are a magical whisker.

05:09Pour the cream into the bowl.

05:11Then, with your whisk, turn the liquid into a semi-solid.

05:15First to hold the bowl upside down.

05:18Over their head with no spills earns two points.

05:21Last to finish gets zero points.

05:24What is that?

05:25Stiff peaks?

05:26Yeah.

05:27Stiff peaks.

05:28Scores will be tallied after this round.

05:30Top two move on.

05:32Bottom two are eliminated.

05:34Ready?

05:35Stiff peaks?

05:36What is that?

05:37You're about to find out.

05:38Do you have to do all of it?

05:39Okay, I did all of it.

05:40I'm not gonna make it!

05:53Bye!

05:54I'm not gonna make it!

05:55What the f**k?

05:56I've been gay for a long time.

05:58What are you?

05:59How did you do that?

06:02Wait, what did you all?

06:08That doesn't make a lick of sense.

06:10Here is what you did.

06:12This?

06:13Yeah.

06:14This is the movement that you want.

06:15Back and forth.

06:20Zack and Brennan are eliminated.

06:22Oh, wow.

06:23Are you f**king kidding me?

06:27Hey, man.

06:28Yeah, you're gonna wanna go this way.

06:29This is the route I usually take.

06:31I'm coming to the locker room after we lost the game.

06:34We put a really solid effort in at the very end.

06:38We just couldn't bring it home.

06:40All the Zackheads out there, I'm sorry.

06:42Brennan, how you feeling?

06:45Are you crying?

06:47In real life, are you crying?

06:50I didn't know that whipped cream would be one of them.

06:54Of the challenges.

06:55And I would've done things differently.

06:57I wasn't anywhere near close.

06:59I have nothing to learn from what happened.

07:01I should just go home.

07:08Stew.

07:09You are a master taster.

07:11Taste the 15-ingredient stew inside of the cauldron.

07:15Correctly guess one ingredient at a time.

07:17Clem root?

07:18Incorrect guesses get you a strike.

07:20Two strikes, and you're out.

07:22And those aren't like real foods, right?

07:24Clem root?

07:25And sherry?

07:26They're really common foods, Brennan.

07:28It's weird that you don't know them.

07:29If you need, call in help from an eliminated player.

07:32The winner of the challenge is dubbed the culinary battle champion.

07:39Ready?

07:40Good game.

07:41Hey, good game.

07:42Feel this stoneware.

07:43It's quite warm.

07:44Mmm.

07:45The stew is comprised of over 15 ingredients.

07:49I'm kinda just hungry.

07:51I think I'm gonna say tomato.

07:54Parsley.

07:55Might come out of Brennan's nose if we wanna get a close-up of that.

07:59You freak.

08:00You freak.

08:01It's gonna come out of your nose.

08:05Karen.

08:07The peanut gallery is not helping.

08:09If we can have the peanut gallery step out.

08:11Look, it's lunchtime.

08:13You said celery?

08:14Uh-uh.

08:15I said celery.

08:18Onion.

08:20Parsnip.

08:21Wow.

08:22Called the shot on parsnips.

08:24I'm gonna call on one of the eliminated.

08:27Which one?

08:28What'd you guys already say?

08:29Alright, I'm gonna answer myself.

08:32I'm gonna say...

08:33Allie.

08:34Water.

08:35Oh, that's what I was gonna say.

08:36Got him.

08:38F***ing got him.

08:39What? Is that one of them?

08:40That's crazy.

08:41I don't know how to tell you this man.

08:42Water is one of them.

08:43I don't know how to tell you this man.

08:44It's definitely water.

08:45Water is absolutely one of them.

08:46Much as I would love to win on this technicality, I'm gonna say water is one of them.

08:51Okay.

08:52Awesome.

08:53Kidney beans.

08:54What?

08:55Wow.

08:56Two kidney beans.

08:57You're out here just digging around.

08:59I need so help.

09:00Alright.

09:01I call on Brendan.

09:03Hey, Allie.

09:04You know what you got a big heaping help out of here?

09:06Hm?

09:07Clem root.

09:10I call on Zach.

09:12Salt.

09:15Awesome.

09:17Garlic.

09:19Sweet potato.

09:21Okay.

09:22Rosemary.

09:23Ooh.

09:24How many strikes did we get?

09:25Ten.

09:26Okay.

09:27Great.

09:28Oregano.

09:29Yes.

09:30Damn.

09:31Vegetable broth.

09:33Cannellini bean.

09:35You had a cannellini bean.

09:36I can't believe you.

09:37Thyme.

09:38Wow.

09:39This is my top chef dream.

09:41Pepper.

09:42Any kind of pepper.

09:43White pepper?

09:44Okay.

09:45Black pepper.

09:46Wow.

09:47Yes.

09:48Congratulations.

09:49Good game.

09:50Congrats.

09:51What kind of pepper?

09:52Black pepper.

09:53Damn.

09:54I couldn't even.

09:55What?

09:56I was like searching through.

09:57Some people might say I lost here today, but ultimately I got to eat delicious soup with my friends.

10:13So who's the real loser here?

10:15I would say the people who didn't get to eat soup.

10:17Wow.

10:20Thanks.

10:21That soup was really good.

10:23I just really appreciate everyone's work here on set today.

10:27It's really cool.

10:28Nothing really films in Los Angeles anymore.

10:30Yep.

10:31What a mess.
