"Last week on MasterChef Junior..." "The competition reached new heights..." "Move it!" "...and the junior home cooks faced their first mystery box challenge." "You nailed it." "Wow, it's gorgeous." "Very impressive." "Absolutely blown away." "Jack came out on top..." "Oh, my god!" "But it was the end of the road for Molly and Tommy." "You should both go back with your head held high." "Tonight, the competition whips into a frenzy." "Whip it!" "Whip it like a man!" "Aah!" "And the kids face a task any adult chef would fear." "The world-famous Gordon Ramsay beef Wellington." " Oh!" " Swap!" "And a tag team challenge..." " Quick, quick!" " Salt, salt on the Wellington." "...ends with mixed results." "I don't think it gets any better than that cooked." "It's like eating a mouthful of salt." "It's a little under." "Absolutely incredible." "Great job." "Welcome, everybody." "When I walk into that MasterChef Junior kitchen," "I am just so anxious." "I have so many things running through this brain of mine." "Let's go, guys." "Let's go, guys, come on!" "Good to see you all this morning." "Excited?" "Yes, chef!" "Great." "Top ten, what an achievement." "It's pretty cool being in the top ten." "Making it into the top ten is a dream come true." "You all survived the last elimination challenge where you had to make us a stunning restaurant-quality burger." "Three of you cooked the most amazing burgers." "Remind me who had the best three dishes." "Kaylen," "Alexander, and Gavin." "Phenomenal job." "Because you had the best three dishes, one of you will get an advantage going into the next challenge." "To determine which one of you that is, we are going to set you three a competition of your own." "Oh, no." "So, Gavin, Alexander, and Kaylen, please step behind the counter," "The rest of you, please, up on the platform." "Let's go." "Nice." "You each have a metal bowl, a whisk, and some cream." "This next challenge is all about whipped cream." "Trust me, whipping cream perfectly is not easy." "To get the right consistency takes skill, strength, and stamina." "Alexander is gonna win the whipping cream contest." "He's, like, the pastry king, so he probably makes whipped cream in his sleep." "When we say "Go," you will all begin to whip your cream." "Your goal is to whip it into a consistency where the cream won't drop out of the bowl if you turn it upside down." "In our world of restaurants and chefs, we call that consistency "stiff peaks."" "Got it?" "When you think that you've whipped it to that point, you must hold your whisk in the air and shout as loud as you can, "Whipped!"" "Whipped!" "At that point, we will test all the whipped creams, and whoever's cream stays in the bowl the longest is the winner, and that one person will then get a huge advantage in the next stage of this competition." "All right, your time..." "Starts..." "Now." "Go, let's go, let's go!" "Yeah, tip the bowl." "And whip it, come on!" "Dont be afraid be messy..." "Come on, Gavin!" "Whip like a man, Gavin!" "Whip like a man!" "Super hard whip cream my hand because your arm gets super tired and feels like lead and it gets heavier and heavier, but you still keep on pushing." "Do it, Gavin!" "Whip like a man!" "My strategy is just whipping side-to-side, actually, in the bowl, because when you keep turning it like this, you're, like, wasting time because the whisk is half out." "They were whipping so hard." "There was cream all over them, there was cream all over the table, and girls screaming." "Whip like a man, Gavin!" "It was really funny, 'cause Sarah next to me, she was like, "Come on, come on!"" "Gavin, whip like a man!" "Whip like a man!" "Don't stop whipping!" "And I was like, "This is a different side of Sarah."" "Whip it, Gavin!" "Don't stop!" "I don't want to see that arm stop moving!" "Just do it!" "Come on, guys!" "Come on, guys, whip it good!" " Quick, quick!" " Come on, Gavin!" "Whip like a man, Gavin!" "Whip it!" "Come on, guys!" "Whipped." "Oh!" "Hey, stop, stop!" "Whisks in the air." "Wow." "Big Al." "Well done." "Incredible." "Man, so Alexander thinks that his cream is not going to fall when the bowl is held upside down." "But there's only one real way of finding out..." "Hmm?" "What?" "What is happening?" "And that is by holding your bowls over our heads." "Oh, my god!" "Oh!" "So, Kaylen, I seriously hope that cream is whipped perfectly." "Oh, my god." "Alexander, I already showered this morning." "I do not want to have to take another one." "Don't let me down." "Gavin, I'm tough, I get angry." "I hope that is well whipped." "Okay, very carefully, all three of you, bring your bowls of whipped cream and stand behind us." "Let's go." "Oh, I feel so bad for them." "Hey, don't worry, I spilled most of it." "Oh, yeah?" "I don't know how expensive Joe's suits are, but he's probably gonna send me the dry cleaning bill." "Oh, man." "Chef Ramsay's hoping that it was whipped well, but I'm like," ""I have to burst your bubble." "It's not."" "Please." "Okay, Alexander, very carefully step up to the top step." "Even though I'm really confident I have stiff peaks," "I'm feeling a little nervous, because what if my whipped cream does fall on Graham Elliot's head?" "That would really suck." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Oh, this is scary." "It's game time." "Three..." "Two..." "One." "Ah!" "Alexander, are you ready?" "Yes." "This is scary." "It's game time." "Three..." "Two..." "One." "Ah!" "Wow." "Wow." "Yeah!" "I knew you'd come through for me, big Al." "Good job, Alexander." "Give him a round of applause." "Thank you." "Graham is safe, but I don't know about Gordon or Joe." "So next, it is Gavin." " Oh, god." " Oh, no!" "Joe, are you scared right now?" "Three, two, one," "Tip." "Gavin!" "Those do not look like stiff peaks." "They do not look like stiff p..." "You got a little something on your face." "Joe kinda looks like Freddy Krueger meets the Michelin guy." "It was just so much fun to watch him." "Graham, I need you to count Kaylen in, and I'm hoping that you've got a stiff peak." "Ready..." "Kaylen, aim for the face!" "Aim for the face!" "Three, two, one." "[bleep]!" "Sugar!" "Sugar!" "Sugar!" "Sugar!" "Sugar!" "Kaylen!" "That looks like the biggest seagull ever flew over you." "Ah!" "Everybody, Alexander is the winner!" "I want someone to dump cream on my head!" "Alexander!" "Alex, can I get it?" "Oh!" "Ah!" "Oh!" "What did I ever do to you?" "I thought I could trust you, big Al!" "Right, carefully step down." "Carefully step down." "Congratulations, Alexander." "You won this challenge, and you will get a huge advantage in the next challenge." "Sweet." "First off, we're gonna get cleaned up." "Great challenge." "I am so glad I was in the top three." "That whipped cream challenge, trust me, was just an appetizer." "Now, it's time for the entree, for your very first junior MasterChef team challenge." "Yes." "Now, there are ten of you talented home cooks, and we're gonna split you into five groups of two." "Here's the bad news:" "The team that does the worst job in this next huge challenge, sadly, will not be moving on to the next phase of MasterChef." "Alexander, since you won the whipped cream challenge, you get first pick for the team challenge." "Mm." "Think very carefully." "Who would you want to have on your team as your teammate?" "I think that this person is really feared in this competition, so I would like Troy to be on my team." "Troy." "All right, Troy, come on over." "Alexander and Troy." "Now, Alexander, not only do you get to pick your team, Troy..." "You get to pick all the other teams as well." "That's right, you're going to choose who is going to be cooking with who." "First person on the second team will be Roen." "Roen, thank you." "I know it's not your choice, but who would you love to have on your team?" "Probably Dara, because she has very good plating design and also good techniques." "Well, you're not getting her, so..." "Smart." "I think that I'm gonna pair Jewels up with Roen." "Jewels is really organized, which is great, for a team especially." "I think we could definitely do something good there." "Right, team number three." "I'm going to choose Dara, because she's another one of my biggest competitors." "I think that I'm gonna choose one of the younger competitors to be on Dara's team, and that would be Sarah." " Good idea." " Well, smart." " Good job." " Smart." " We can work together, okay?" " Yeah." "Knowing that Alexander's trying to target me by putting me with the youngest competitor in the competition just makes me want to work harder." "The first person on the next team is Jack." "Jack, great." "Alexander, where are you going?" "I'm gonna go with Kaylen." "Wow, interesting." "Very interesting indeed." "So that leaves Sofia and Gavin as the final team." "So there we have it, five teams of two." "It's not just any team challenge." "You guys are about to take part in a MasterChef Junior tag team challenge." " Ho!" " Oh, it's tag team." "Oh." "What is that?" "Oh, I should know that." "A tag team, definitely think I had a big advantage with that." "I watch wrestling a lot, so I know exactly how it works." "I'm in the zone." "You all need to find out what your tag teams will be cooking for us tonight." "Don't worry, it's nothing that tough." "Mmm." "It's only Gordon Ramsay's signature dish." "Oh, his beef Wellington." "You will be cooking the world-famous" "Gordon Ramsay beef Wellington," "One of the most difficult in the entire world to make." "What?" "I've never made anything like a beef Wellington." "Oh, god." "That's right, guys." "This is a very technical dish," "Trust me, one of the hardest to make in any of my restaurants." "Now, alongside that beef Wellington," "I want you to make the most amazing mashed potatoes and sauteed broccolini." "I'd like you to come up and have a taste of this delicious Wellington, and ask as many questions as you would like." "Ah, yummy." "So dig in, guys, yeah?" "Look here first." "So you got the pastry, then the crepe, then the mushrooms, then that beautiful filet and prosciutto." "See how it's nice and pink and seared?" "Is the steak covered in mustard?" "It's brushed in mustard." "Really important, once you've seared the beef, and you brush it as it's really nice and warm," "So it sort of penetrates and marinates the beef." " It's delicious." " So good." " Amazing." " It's great." "Mmm." "All of you, please," "Head to your stations." "Let's go." "On your stations, you'll find everything that you need." "You have beef filet, crepes, puff pastry, prosciutto, dijon mustard, mushroom duxelles, broccolini, thyme, potatoes, butter, and salt and pepper." "You will have just 65 minutes, working as a tag team to make your dishes." "I'd like all of you to move to the end of your bench." "We're about to start." "The MasterChef beef Wellington tag team challenge starts..." "Now!" "Let's go!" "Get the pan out, okay?" "Start heating..." "I don't know where it is!" "Oil." "Good." " Get the pan on the oven." " I know." "Season the steak." " Salt, pepper." " I know." "You want a lot of salt and a lot of pepper." "Okay, good." "Quick, peel potatoes." "Only do two potatoes." "That's all we need." " They're more vocal than the adults." " Oh, I know." "Come on." "Roen, I'm gonna go with one." "Doesn't have to be perfect." "Come on, you gotta do this fast." "You gotta hustle." "These are 8 to 13-year-old home cooks, so, so much complexity, so much difficulty." "To ask young cooks of this age to execute a beef Wellington, well, I think we might be out of the realm of what's reasonable." "Yeah, do you think it's possible for them to pull this off?" "Let's not forget what they've accomplished so far in this competition..." "Yeah, 'cause the pan's already pretty hot." "And we definitely have the top ten" " for sure..." " Absolutely." "Best junior contestants in this country." "All right, let's go, let's go." "That looks good, that looks fine." "You want them small so that they can cook faster." "We don't have all the time in the world, you know." "Watch your fingers." "You're doing great." "A beef Wellington is so technical," "It can only be done by one person, so to have two individuals do it..." "It's almost a hindrance." "It is a hindrance, and it becomes more difficult, because there are so many stages of searing off that delicious filet." "Looking good." " Like that?" " That's great." "To put enough mustard on there, to wrap it in the prosciutto, and then the savory crepe, and then the puff pastry, you need to know every little sequence that your partner's doing." "Good, keep it right there." "Perfect." "Now keep chopping up those potatoes." "One individual screws up a small step, you've just screwed it for the next 45 minutes." "Let me see." "Is that seared enough?" "It looks good." "Yeah, that looks good." "Wait, do we brush it in mustard now or after?" "After we take it out of the glass chiller." "No, because remember, Gordon said that it has to marinate while it's still a little bit warm." "Dude, I'm... no, it'll be..." "it's too hot, it won't work." "I picked Troy, but now he's just disagreed with me." "I'm pretty sure, man." "Just wait a minute." "I'm wondering if Troy and I can pull it off." "Come on, Troy." "We could be at risk of going home." "Let's go." "Let me see." "Is that seared enough?" "It looks good." "Yeah, that looks good." "Wait, do we brush it in mustard now or after?" "After we take it out of the glass chiller." "No, because remember, Gordon said that it has to marinate while it's still a little bit warm." "Dude, I'm... no, it'll be..." "it's too hot, it won't work." "All right." "I'm pretty sure, man." "Okay." "I did let Troy put the steak into the glass chiller without the mustard." "Okay, yeah." "Go, go, go." "He kinda confused me with whether or not it should have mustard on it." "All right." "So I'm gonna leave it and then brush it afterwards." "Flour on the board." "I really hope we're doing it properly." " Come on." " Yeah." "Roen, who's leading this team?" "It seems like you both are really quiet." " Yeah." " There's not a lot of communication." "Who's in charge?" "There's no really "in charge." we're sort of switching off." "I know, but I mean, is anybody, like, really taking over and saying, "All right, this has to look like this." "You're gonna be doing this next, then I'm gonna jump in, and..."" "Yeah, I'm gonna be doing the plating, so I sorta got that." "It's so important, though, that she does her role and leaves you with everything as perfect as it can be, 'cause you can't put bad food on the plate," "Yeah, true." "30 seconds to go before your first swap." "Jack, if I can't put these in, you're just gonna have to put them in the boiling water, okay?" "We can make it, just go, go, go, as quick as you can." "Five, four, three..." "Come on, come on!" "Two, one, swap!" "Switch!" "Get a spoon out!" "Go, go, go!" "Sorry." "Remember, pastry, crepe, duxelles, prosciutto." "I know, buddy." "Put the paper on!" "Put the paper on with it." " I know, I know." " Okay, okay." "Duxelles, get to that duxelles." "Gotcha." "Put an even amount." " Gotcha." " Thank you." "Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack!" "Oh, no!" "Let that cool off." "Thank you." "It's fine." "Tuck it under, yeah." "It's not done yet." "Other people are doing puff pastry." "Come on, other side." "Come on, come on, Sarah, talk to me, talk to me." "Sarah, what do I need to do?" "Tell me." "Um..." "Sarah, you have to talk to me." "You have to talk to me, okay?" "Dara, I would do it on the other side, because I don't want to fold it backwards." "You roll it this way." "No, but I would roll it towards me so that I'm not rolling it backwards." "Okay, I'm gonna do it this way, 'cause this is how" "I know how to do it, okay?" "I'm sorry." "I think because I'm younger," "Dara thinks I don't know as much as her." "I don't know how long she's been cooking, but I'm a nine-year-old, and I made it this far." "Be careful with the puff pastry." "Jack, do it closer to your Wellington!" "Okay." "You gonna need more than that." "Gentlemen, how are we doing?" "We're further than we thought." "You're further than you thought?" "Where's the beef?" "The beef is in the glass chiller." " Is it covered in mustard?" " No, not yet." " I told you." " Not yet?" "What did we say?" "Once it's seared, the best time to put the mustard on was what?" "Okay, man, I'm so sorry." " I'm gonna go grab it." " Come on, then, guys." " That was my fault, man." " Think on your feet." "Otherwise, the mustard just stays on the outside." "See, I told you, it needs to marinate in that, like he said." "All right, that was my fault." "Guys, somebody's going home tonight, okay?" "You cannot afford to make one little mistake." "It's not gonna be us." "Let's go, get it together." "I did forget to put the mustard on, that's my fault, so I can't mess up again at this point in the race, because elimination's on the line and we have to stick together as a team." " Teamwork, yes?" " All right, we got this." "You're doing good, Jack." "Thank you." "60 seconds to go before the next swap." "Very careful." "I'm feeling good about our dish." "I heard some people struggling over there." "Go, go, go, go!" "Don't drop it." "We're gonna be doing well." "Roen, does it need more demi-glaze?" "No." "Five seconds before you switch!" "Four, three, two..." "Two, Gavin, go!" "One, switch!" "Good job, good job." "Just go, go, go." "Kaylen, make sure that that's not sticking." "Okay, gotcha." " Thank you." " Hey, Jack." "Get the vegetable stock!" "The vegetable stock first!" "Okay, so it's wrapped already?" "The beef is in there." "Did you put mustard on it?" "The mustard is in there." "Oh, wow." "She just had to brush off the egg wash, and then do the little nice knife cuts." "Wow, you guys are in good shape." "Thank you." "You have to close up the sides." "Okay, gotcha." "All right, now, flip it over." "Flip it over, quick." "Now, quickly brush it, quick." "brush it, brush it." "Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick." "Quick, you need to go quick." "You really have to go quickly." "All right, get a new baking sheet..." " Spray it down..." " Okay, thanks, buddy." "Parchment paper, spray it down." "Right, Sofia, where's the Wellington?" "The Wellington is in the oven." "How long to go?" "Uh, 4:25." "Taste that mash for me." "Taste, quickly." "First thing that comes into your mouth?" "Uh, no salt." "Ugh, no salt, lumpy." "No, no, no, stop." "You've still got 20 minutes to go, okay?" "You can make a fresh mash, you can get that passed through a sieve, but I want a royal mash..." " Right." " A delicious mash." " Right." " Are you happy with that?" " No." " Nor am I." "Come on, sort it out." "Stay together as a team." "It looks perfect." "This time, only spray a little from a high altitude." "Perfect." "Just mix it around now and then." "You should, like, tell me when to stop, 'cause I won't want to over..." "No!" "No, no, Sarah, Sarah!" "That's it, that's it." "Sarah, that's it." "One minute before your final switch." "Stand by, guys." "Good job, Sofia." "So we've seen a lot of lumpy mashed potatoes out there." "Ooh, that's no good." "Here's the thing... they are now so advanced with the Wellington, they're not focusing on the sides." "Beautiful Wellington with a lumpy mash" " would not be a good thing." " Doesn't quite work." "All three components have to be done." "I'm gonna put it over near..." "Put it right here on this stove." "I will." "It looks delicious." "Hot!" "Sarah's just dropped her Wellington." "I'm gonna put it over near..." "Put it right here on this stove." "I will." "It looks delicious." "Hot!" "Sarah's just dropped her Wellington." "Did she really?" "Well, at least the Wellington's still on the pan." "Look at that." "Okay, put some salt on top." "15 seconds to go before your final switch!" "Three, two, one..." "Final switch, let's go!" "Come on." "Let's go!" "Come on, stir those potatoes, Jack," "And taste 'em." "I need you to make sure there aren't any lumps." "There's still some lumps in there." "Roen, once you taste it, and if it's still grainy, try putting it through the ricer if that doesn't work." "It's at 124.5." "It's perfect." "Oh, my god, it's breaking." "Dara, just put it through the top!" "I..." "Good." "It's at 105." "106, it's climbing." "It's climbing a little." "It's still climbing?" "Okay, good." " Be so careful, Gavin." " Hold on." " Look how perfect it looks." " Yeah." "Finesse, Dara, but we want it to look the same." "Do you even know what "finesse" means?" "Yes, I actually do." "Go, come on, come on, come on, come on." "Season just a little bit on the broccoli, but make it..." " Make...mm!" " Okay, I know, I know." "Can you make them facing all the same way?" "It's okay." "Just "whoo."" "Let's go, guys, come on." "Guys, 30 seconds left, whatever you have to do, do it now." "Oh, god!" "This doesn't look good." "I dont want to go home." "I'm doing the drippings." " No, Dara!" " Sarah!" "Stop!" "They said to replicate the plate!" "Don't do that!" "Dara, stop." "Come on, please, make the dish look beautiful." " Come on!" " 12 seconds." "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, and stop!" "Hands in the air." "Whoo!" "Well done, all of you." "Good job, man." "Dude, that's amazing." "Seriously, your beef Wellingtons look incredible, but now, the moment we've all been waiting for, is to taste them." "Let's start from the back." "Troy, Alexander." "Whoo!" "Are we in for a treat?" "Wow." "First of all, let me tell you, visually, that looks stunning." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Absolutely beautiful." "When I cut in the middle of your beef Wellington, what am I gonna get?" "Um, medium rare, a little closer to rare." "Talk to me about the layers." "On the top, you will see the puff pastry, then under that, you will see the crepe, and then you'll see the mushroom duxelles, the prosciutto, and then the meat." "Right." "Perfect." "That, young men, is perfect." "Whoo." "Absolutely incredible, but let's see how it tastes." "You got that crispiness of the pastry." "Mash." "Guys, it's phenomenal." "It's absolutely delicious." "You have just nailed one of the most sophisticated, one of the most difficult dishes" " anywhere in the world to cook." " Good job, man." "It's the kind of beef Wellington that I'd be serving at the Savoy Grill." "Beautiful." "Seriously, well done." "Great job." "Amazing." " Dude, that's awesome." " I know." "So to me, when you look at the outside of this, this is talking the talk, and you cut inside, and that's walking the walk." "So we've talked about it before, everything is of equal importance, the broccolini, the potatoes, the sauce, and then every single component in the Wellington." "I really can't find fault." "It's almost a complete grand slam." "Great job, guys." " Thank you." " Thank you very much." " Good job, man." " We did so good." "I feel great walking away." "I know we're staying." "We set a bar." "I don't think anybody can jump that bar." "What an amazing start." "It's his signature dish and he didn't say one bad thing about it." "Okay, next, we want to try the Wellington of Sarah and Dara." "Me and Sarah did struggle through the competition, and I just hope that it's cooked perfectly, not overdone, underdone, and that all our flavors are perfect." "Hi, guys." " Hi." " Hi." "So..." "Well, I have to say, your dish looks beautiful." "So what should it look like inside when I cut it?" "Hopefully, it's, like, pink, and you can see all the layers." "Pink?" "You want to see all the layers and you want it to be pink?" "Pinkish." "Nice crust, nice and crispy." "It looks beautiful on top." "Very nice egg wash, gives it a nice, even coating." "You ready?" "You sure, Sarah?" "xAll right, here's the moment of truth." "Let's see if your beef Wellington is properly cooked." "You ready?" "All right." "Ooh." "I have to say..." "Wow, flawless." "It might be tied for team one in cooking perfection." "Wow." "That is a perfect medium rare." "Did you do that?" "Well, it was kind of both of us." "Nice work." "I put it in, and she took it out." "I accidentally dropped it when I picked it up." "You don't have to tell everybody everything." "When I drop something in the kitchen, like a piece of bread, I pick it up." "It's like the five second rule." "As long as it's not on the floor for more than five seconds..." "Well, that didn't fall on the floor, but the pan did." "Like, in the restaurant, we have the back of the house not everyone in the dining room needs to know about." "Keep that as a secret." "You know you're being filmed, right?" "Mmm." "Nice flavor." "Your broccoli are crispy, your potatoes are rich, your sauce is justifiably acidulated." "I don't know what that means, I'm sorry." "It means it's seasoned." "He's just trying to use these big words." ""Acidulated" means when you add acidity to something, you acidulate it." "Perfectly acidulated." "A wonderful, wonderful beef Wellington." "My compliments to the chefs." "Here's the thing." "Delicious, seasoned beautifully." "Warm, succulent, tender in the center." "Alexander and Troy had raised the bar," "But I think you guys have just jumped it, seriously." "What I'm struggling to understand is that you're 12 and 9 years of age." "Combined, that's 21 years of age." "I know chefs at 21 that are professional in this industry that can't cook a Wellington that good." "Great job, well done." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Next up, please, Jack and Kaylen." "All right, guys." "Look at that." "It's beautiful." "So is there anything you guys are worried about?" "Is there anything I'm not gonna like on here?" "The only thing that I'm worried about is that the bread on the bottom will be soggy, but I'm praying to god that it's not." "Then let's cut through and let's see it." "The moment of truth." "You were right." "Some of that puff pastry on the bottom is looking a little gummy." "Oh, no." "The cook and the flavor is there," "But the broccolini I think you might have cooked a little too early, 'cause it's been, like, almost stewed till it's turning that kinda toy-army-man-green, you know, like, camouflage color." "So try to fix next time." " All right?" " Yeah." "So the problem I've got here is the colors, because I'm not seeing that nice dark ring of mushrooms all the way around." "Did you forget to put mushrooms on?" " No, chef." " No." "No?" "I'm struggling." "Hardly any mushrooms." "So look, beef slightly overcooked." "It's seasoned beautifully, but you haven't thought about those technical flaws, searing it, then wrapping it in the prosciutto, then covering the prosciutto in those wonderful mushrooms to get that earthiness." "And you've been very sparse with the mushrooms, so therefore, it's changed the dynamics, and that's how the beef starts to become overcooked, because the mushroom's there to protect but enhance the flavor." "So we haven't got that wall of mushrooms on the outside, the beef cooks quicker." "And the beef's slightly overcooked for me." "Thank you both." "I'm definitely nervous." "I was, like, praying to god, "Please, please, please, let us go to the next round."" "All right, Sofia and Gavin." "All right." "First off, it looks beautiful." "You have all the components on the plate." "Nice, beautiful, crisp puff pastry on the outside." "Yes." "Probably looking at an "A" or B-plus." "Maybe closer to an "A."" "Ooh, it's, like, incredibly good." "Thank you." "Only thing I think needs help on this, the puff pastry could have been rolled a little thinner..." "Okay." " 'cause if you notice..." " Oh, yeah." "It's a little under, right?" "Who did the pastry rolling?" "I should've rolled it thinner." " That was you?" " Yeah." "So just a little thinner next time." " Okay." " Okay?" "But flavor, everything else, pretty spot on." " Good job." " Thank you." "The beef is cooked beautifully." " Thank you." " Yeah?" "So done all the fundamentals correctly." "The problem I've got with your Wellington is the fact that the pastry's too heavy, and yet the topping and the seasoning and the sear and the cooking of the filet is absolutely perfectly done." " Good job, thank you." " Thank you." "Last but not least, Roen and Jewels, please." "Come." "Let's go." "I am so excited to taste this one." "Wow, okay." "Now, who wrapped the beef?" " He did." " I did." "'Cause it looks like a slightly sort of larger puff pastry on there." "It looks like the biggest Wellington of the night." "Where's the mash?" " It's underneath." " The mash is underneath." "Oh, okay." "Are we short of mash?" "Um, no." "Don't think so." "No?" "Okay." " Just underneath." " Just underneath?" " Yes." " Okay." " That looks good." " Mm." "Guys, wow." "Who seasoned the beef?" " I did." " She did." "And what did you season it with?" " Just some salt and pepper." " Mm-hmm." "That is very interesting." "That's for you, my darling." " Oh, thank you." " Please." "It is so salty." "After your first mouthful, the first thing you want to grab is not another bite, it's a glass of water." "You've been so heavy-handed with the seasoning that it's like eating a mouthful of salt." "What a shame." "Who put the salt on there?" "I did." "You've been so heavy-handed with the seasoning that it's just like eating a mouthful of salt." "The prosciutto naturally seasons it, so that gives it the saltiness, and I said to you, "Be careful with the seasoning on top of the pastry." "Get the pastry nice and crispy."" "If you just touch that there." "See, your pastry's gone soggy, but you've cooked it beautifully." "That's the frustrating part for me." "What a shame." "See, it's just as I suspected, what I tasted is raw mustard, which makes the salinity even saltier." "Mustard, when you put it on out of the pan, tenderizes it and gets almost cooked into the beef." "When it's raw like this, it makes the beef taste even saltier," "So you have to be super careful." "The cook is delicious, your broccoli are perfect, and your mashed potatoes excellent." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Okay, this is gonna be a very difficult decision for us to make." "Five stunning beef Wellingtons." "We need a moment to discuss this." "Whatever happens, we..." "just know that we got this far." "Do you think it's gonna be okay?" "I don't know." "Their flavor was amazing, and I love the broccolini on that." "Yeah." "How salty?" "Jack." "So it's pretty clear, right?" "it's a tough one." "It's definitely tough." "Jack, it's okay." "I'm gonna miss you guys." "You never know." "Yeah, I agree." "I definitely agree." "Would all of you please head down to the front?" "We were so impressed by how well you all did." "I mean, it was a real, real challenge." "There were three teams tonight that did just a little better that are immediately safe from elimination and that will move on." "When I call your names as a team, please step forward." "Alexander and Troy." "Gavin and Sofia." "And..." "Sarah and Dara." "Congratulations, you guys, amazing, you're all safe." "Well done." "Well done." "Head up to the gallery." "Congratulations, well done." "Whatever happens at the end of these results, all four of you should be incredibly proud of yourselves." "Unfortunately, one team is going home tonight." "I don't want to go back to school, and I love the MasterChef kitchen, and this is my dream." "Our Wellington wasn't perfect, but I just hope it was enough for us to stay here." "What's going through my head is just," ""Please let me go through, please let me go through."" "About a thousand times." "The team that is safe from elimination..." "I really want to finish and get that trophy." "To have a MasterChef trophy, it's just crazy." "And is going through to the top eight of MasterChef Junior..." "Everyone here in this competition is just so determined to win." "It's really going to come down to, like, the smallest of mistakes." "Congratulations..." "Kaylen and Jack." "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god." "Please, say good-bye to Jewels and Roen, and go up to the balcony and join your fellow six competitors." "Roen, sorry." "Gonna miss you." "It's okay." "Off you go, guys, please." "Both of you, come here." "Come on." "This is the bit that we do not enjoy." "Well done, well done, my darling." "Good job." "Seriously, well done." "Well done, buddy." "Stay cool, will you?" "Great job, guys." "Thank you very much." "Good job, guys." "Listen, you two, keep hold of those aprons, and we'll hopefully see you back here one day, maybe in the adult MasterChef." "Who knows?" "Well done, both of you." "Good night, guys." "Good job, guys." "Well done." "I definitely learned so much, and i was just so grateful to be at top ten." "I'm definitely not planning on hanging up my apron." "Junior MasterChef was such an amazing experience for me, and I really enjoyed every minute of it." "I'm proud of myself." "Well, the biggest thing I walk away from with this experience is probably that apron, you know?" "I'm probably gonna hang that up in my room." "And I really want to have a japanese/asian cuisine restaurant when I'm older, so you definitely have not seen the last of me." "Good night, guys." "Next week, on MasterChef Junior..." "Ew!" "Sardines, liver, snails." "This is so not gummi bears." "It's a mystery box filled with nightmares." "Disgusting." "I've never eaten kidneys before, and I don't plan on it." "Then..." "Please make that rise and taste sumptuous and delicious." "It's a baking challenge..." "Come on!" "...with results you can only dream of." "You hit it out of the park with this one." "Did you try how good your cake is?" "Wow." "You may be the smallest, may be the youngest, but you can cook."
