Genaro's duck breast scored a 1, but Ryan's seared scallops and Rice Krispies impressed Ramsay, earning another perfect 5 and giving the women the lead.
Reward/punishment: The women rode a hummer limo to the restaurant Takami in Downtown Los Angeles, where they had a special sushi dinner with Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen winners Christina Machamer and Scott Commings from Seasons 4 and 12, respectively.
Even though the latter displayed a bad attitude during his plea, Ramsay sent him back in line and eliminated the former for performing poorly on the appetizer station and surrendering full control to Paulie.
The women were forced to take in a delivery of Dover sole, snapper, lobster, and sea bass, and break down, descale, and fillet them for service.
Shaina received a real chocolate milkshake, but did not tell her team out of fear of upsetting them until she fessed up to it when asked by Ramsay before service, irritating Gia and Heidi.
Aaron didn't communicate from the appetizer station and overdressed a kale salad, and Andrew forgot an order of scallops, setting the team back.
While Aaron was called out for his inexperience, Ramsay told him to "wake up" and eliminated Genaro for his lack of passion and second consecutive poor service performance.
On the meat station, Gia served an overcooked lamb chop, even though her first one was perfectly cooked, and delivered poorly sliced wellingtons, which she blamed on a finger injury.
[citation needed] Dinner Service: Ramsay raised the stakes when he announced that each team would be working half of a 12-top table, consisting of several pregnant women.
However, on the last ticket, Aaron and Koop served a raw beef wellington and an overcooked sea bass respectively, and Ramsay kicked the entire team out of the kitchen for the third time and asked for two nominees.
In the last round, Andrew, who was initially concerned that his fish was undercooked, scored over Wendy with his pan-seared sea bass and Asian pear slaw, and the men won, five to four.
They were already fed up with Kimberly for not cooking her couscous properly and losing the challenge for them, but she made things worse by asking a lot of pointless questions, irritating her teammates.
The men, on the other hand, sunk as Andrew served two raw New York strips, Johnny burned two portions of salmon and Devin delivered bland creamed spinach, and they were kicked out and asked for two nominees yet again.
Ramsay first sent Devin and then Johnny back in line, and, to the disgust of the women, eliminated Aaron for his lack of confidence, inexperience, and failure to gain his team's respect, but praised him for his passion and skill.
Also in attendance, though not credited, were several current and former WWE superstars, including Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and Alicia Fox, as well as actor Kira Kosarin.
Dinner Service: Former Los Angeles Clipper player JJ Redick and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof dined at the men's and women's chef's tables, respectively.
He eliminated Johnny for putting in another disastrous performance on fish, refusing to take responsibility for his mistakes, and being the main reason for the Blue Team's defeat.
After Paulie sent up another raw lamb, Ramsay lost his temper and ejected the blue team yet again, which was their series-record sixth time thrown out of the kitchen, while telling them to eat their mistakes.
The judges chose Heidi's chicken sliders with Dijon vinegar sauce as the overall best dish of the day, resulting in another red team victory.
Entrées went worse when Shaina sent watery garnish and Wendy struggled to communicate, ultimately serving raw chicken for the chef's table.
Ramsay then sent both Kimberly and Wendy back in line, and eliminated Matt for his arrogance, poor performance on fish, refusal to admit his mistakes, and horrendous attitude, as well as being on a severe downward spiral since being moved to the red team.
After each chef gave their plea, Ramsay told Paulie to say goodbye to Devin, who was eliminated his inconsistent performance across all services and challenges, but was praised for his passion and big heart.
Unlike the previous seasons, Ramsay announced a Hell's Kitchen first where the chefs would face a grueling three-part challenge that would determine who will the prestigious black jacket.
Black Jacket Challenge 2: The remaining chefs had 30 minutes to make a dish using the following ingredients in a locked briefcase: cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, white beans, baby eggplant, salmon.
Ramsay had to break the tie and picked Kimberly to advance, eliminating Andrew due to the texture of his potato puree, but encouraged him to continue his career.
Ramsay eliminated Kimberly for her poor performance as a sous chef and her lack of composure on the appetizer station, but praised her improvement throughout the competition.
Former Major League Baseball player Adrián González, actor Matt Letscher, and TV host Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff also attended this service.
And what was thought to be a new musical starring Rob Morrow, who welcomed Ramsay, Heather, and Ryan backstage, turned out to be the finalists' final challenge that will be held in front of a live audience including their families.
Ramsay brought in guest judges Walter Manzke, Michael Cimarusti, Susan Feniger, and Yardbird CEO-founder John Kunkel.
During the entrees, Heather's leadership began to fall apart, being sent overcooked ribeye by Kimberly, under seasoned asparagus from Andrew, and raw bass from Shaina, forcing Ramsay to give her a pep talk.
