MasterChef, Season Two

[After the contestants make a vegetarian dish in the mystery box challenge]

Gordon:
But there was one individual who got tripped up. The lack of protein, no meat, no fish, put that person into obscurity. That dish belongs to.....Christian! It wasn't cohesive. It wasn't properly thought through and the whole sort of style of the dish was strange.

Joe:
We didn't expect it from you. We thought it was something subpar. We were very disappointed.

Christian:
I think you're wrong. I don't think my dish was the worst dish here. Esther's dish looked pretty (bleep). Take what you want.

Joe:
Well you have the right to disagree but we're telling you the way we see it and we thought the dish sucked.

Alejandra:
(interview) Christian is acting like a little punk right now. His arrogance is stinking up the whole kitchen.

Ben:
(interview) He has no filter. You don't argue with Gordon Ramsay.

Christian:
I don't agree with you.

Gordon:
Well we're trying to give you constructive criticism. If you were a man, you'd take it on the chin.

Jennifer:
(interview) It comes from here (brain) to here (mouth) with zero filter.

Gordon:
Unfortunately, your talent's not matching your arrogance. The dish was a letdown. End of story.

[Graham is tasting Jennifer's dish]

Graham:
Tama is salty and I think it's just over concentrated.

[Christian who begins to lose confidence starts eating his own dish.]

Gordon:
[whispering to Joe] He's just eating, isn't he?

Graham:
...has a really nice rustic taste...

Joe:
He's not listening.

Graham:
The fennel just looks wonderful. I love that you roasted it. The puff pastry adding the textual contrasting against the creaminess of the lobster mashed potatoes. All of it works beautifully.

Jennifer:
Thank you chef.

Graham:
Well done.

Jennifer:
Thank you so much.

[Christian cuts another slice]

Joe:
Hey Christian, why don't you have the same respect for these people that they do for you? Put the silverware down and behave like you belong in this kitchen and show these people the same respect they show you! Because if not, I'm going to personally come over there and throw you out of here! You show no respect and I'm not going to deal with it!

Jennifer:
(interview) Christian is very confident in his cooking. But he needs to stop being a (bleep). I don't think that's going to happen.

Joe:
Sorry.

[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!
