You guys, Ramsayville is real, and its spectacular.
I imagine this is all very true to life.
It has to be.
Once the kids show up, theres no time for adult relaxation its straight to work.
The chefs head to the outdoor kitchen and get a quick demo on the menu items from Gordon.
This is the real prize, kids!
But also, the money.
Each team is responsible for 13 plates, all to be served at the same time.
Timing and good team communication are everything in this challenge.
When Gordon catches wind of this, he is not pleased.
He pulls the team aside for a chat.
Having each person work on a component of the dish without solid communication is a recipe for disaster.
Each chef should be making four to five full plates.
Looks like Gordon and his pep talk saved the day…again.
The only problem is that Addison is the only person on her team who really came to cook today.
Gordon Ramsay isnt even mad, hes just disappointed.
Just kidding hes totally mad, too.
Thankfully, the Blue Team makes up for their kitchen misfires with taste.
They earn mostly great reviews from the guests.
The already exhausted chefs will be cooking venison loin with cabbage, gnocchi, and chanterelles.
Its an intimidating dish with lots of components and a delicate protein that has to be cooked perfectly.
To say the kids start to buckle under the pressure here is an understatement.
But, once Gordon notes that all of her venison is overcooked, Amaya pretty much shuts down.
Thankfully, Zac is an all-star.
The judges are impressed with his calm leadership and multi-tasking skills.
Its safe to say that even if the Red Team loses, Zac wont be going home.
Gordons friends are fans of the Red Teams entree as well.
They find the presentation to be stunning and the meat cooked well.
After the appetizer debacle, Gordon pulls Addison aside to verify shes ready to get her team focused.
He talks to her about leading her softball team and its all very cute and also effective.
Sadly, having one member focused on winning isnt enough.
The dude is in pain, and JJ has just injured one of the worlds best chefs.
JJ was supposed to cook them, and completely forgot.
In the end, they get all 13 plates finished for service.
The guests are mixed on the Blue Teams venison.
Some find it completely on point and really well-seasoned, others note that their venison is over-cooked.
Its a toss up.
THE ELIMINATION
After the meal, Gordon reveals the chefs behind it all.
His guests are so blown away to see six kids walk out, they give them a standing ovation.
Maybe Im crying a little bit.
Our kids did it!
They presented a three Michelin star meal and lived to tell the tale.
Back at theMasterChefkitchen, the judges reveal that two members of the losing team will be going home tonight.
This ones going to hurt.
Amaya should never stop thanking her teammates, because those two carried that girl through this round.
This leaves Addison, Kya, and JJ up for elimination.
I cant help but nod my head with both of those answers.
