MasterChef, Season Two

[Gordon is tasting Jennifer's risotto.]

Gordon:
You've hit the perfect risotto and it's phenomenal and if the rest of the contestants can taste the seasoning in that risotto. I've tasted a bland, bland dreadful mashed potato. (from Christian) But there's the benchmark. Christian, I want you to come down and taste this. Because when you put mashed potatoes on a plate like that, you've got to understand what you're up against and it is of a benefit and I hope you see the difference.

Christian:
[tastes the risotto] It's pretty good, I've had better.

Gordon:
Look at me, you may want to be (bleep) smart and start acting like an arrogant (bleep). But let me tell you something, it's cooked perfectly and it's seasoned beautifully. Your mashed potatoes are bland and so I want you to identify the difference, hoping that you've got the intelligence to take it to the next level and learn from it. Because all of sudden, over the last couple of weeks, you've shut down. Because you can't learn anymore and that's pretty obvious with the results you're putting on the plate.

Christian:
(interview) It tastes good. I'm not going to deny that it tastes good. But I have had better risottos. Am I going to stand there and butter Jen's ass? Hell no.

Christian:
(Bleep) throw me under the bus!

Gordon:
Jennifer, well done.

Jennifer:
Thank you chef.

Gordon:
Amazing.

Jennifer:
Thank you so much.

Gordon:
Great job.

Jennifer:
Thank you. (interview) You know what buddy? You keep saying I don't belong here? Okay, bring it on. Bring it on!
