Like most weddings, we’re just here for the food.
As last week’s winners, Nathan and Terry are deemed the team captains for this challenge.
(Terry has kind eyes, so I get where the other cooks are coming from.)
It sounds like it would be super awkward, but like I said, there are kind eyes involved.
D’Andre and Shaun, I get, but Alejandro?
He’s just a sweet boy who loves his mama!
Weddings are so exciting, aren’t they?
Nathan is mainly just yelling at people to be quiet.
So, yes, the blue team is off to rough start in the appetizer round.
Since scallops are delicate and don’t take much time to cook, timing is everything.
His warnings have a lot more curse words in it than that though.
My favorite: “The speeches are about to start and I’m fing speechless.”
Gordon ismad, you guys!
NEXT: To the main course!
Meanwhile, the Red Team is flying through service.
Does that hedge separating the two teams have magical powers?
), but they recover easily.
Terry has this under control.
The guests are pretty sold on the Red Team’s dish, as well.
Their scallops are cooked well, and the sauce is delicious.
He takes Gordon’s extremely constructive criticism and has a pow-wow with his teammates.
He and Shaun even hug it out.
It’s all going to be okay!
All they need to do is whip up some unbelievably good rack of lamb for the newlyweds.
It’s actually not the lamb that gives the Blue Team any trouble, it’s their orzo.
D’Andre is in charge of this dish and he claims to be an expert at orzo.
I’ll be here all night, folks.
His team works together to save what orzo they can.
The Red Team is having major protein issues.
The yelling works though, and the Red Team gets their rack of lamb up to standard.
The lamb is done well, the presentation was nice, but the orzo was a mess.
The first team challenge of the season goes to Terry and the Red Team.
Which means someone from Nathan’s contingent is getting kicked out of the kitchen tonight.
A lot of their issues were due to Nathan’s oversight.
Both made some huge technical mistakes, but in the end,Barbarais eliminated.
