Chapter 5: Highway to Hell

After a double elimination which kicked out both Alexa and Marcel, both teams were shocked and distraught about it. The blue team were on the table as they drank they're favorite drinks.

Randy: Well Raj I gotta hand it to you, you are actually better than last time.
Raj: Oh thank you Randy.
Randy:... But your still the same guy that acts weird from season 8.
Seth: I gotta agree with him on this one.
Becky: Oh come on, how bad could the lad be.
Randy: Hello Becky did you watch season 8 to see how he acted?
Raj: Excuse me, I don't know why the two of you have something so against me? What the hell did I do to any of you?
Drew: Raj lad, chill out.
Raj: How can I chill when two of my teammates are like snakes.

"Confessional"

Randy: Snake? I got something much better for you buddy. I and swift and cunning like a viper more than snakes.

"End of confessional"

Shinsuke: Sure Raj was acting a bit weird in the past few days but don't go hard on him.
Randy: I have no faith that he will last longer, trust me when I say this. One day on the coming weeks I bet he will either screw us up like he did a few years ago.

While the blue team were having a comotion, the red team were in they're bedroom discussing after the elimination that just happened.

Sasha: I never expected a double elimination to occur.
Bayley: We lost Alexa, sure Marcel it would make sense cause of his performance from the last services but why Alexa?
Kairi: That's a thing that I don't know.
Charlotte: Basically ever since Becky got traded for that clumsy bufoon that go kicked out right now we are on a spiral.
Nia: Says the woman that is dead weight to our team.
Charlotte: Alright first of all, I began working my ass on this competition since day one, all you ever did was gain more weight you fat lazy slob!
Nia: That's it.

She got up and tried to attack Charlotte but was pulled away by the other girls as she was sitting on the bed.

"Confessional"

Charlotte: I tried everything I can with that big blob, it's just frustrating to be with her anymore and everyone are siding with her just because she claims that I am "lazy". That's crazy!

"End of confessional"

"Hours later"

The contestants were sleeping in they're rooms until chef Scott and Christina came to they're rooms and began hanging on pots to wake all of them up and it was successful as they got up.

Scott: Rise and shine early birds, you got another challenge right now!

"At the dining room"

All of the contestants were present as Gordon Ramsay came to the dining room.

Gordon: Good morning teams, today we will have a new challenge and it's gonna be taco based.

The teams cheered.

Gordon: You will make your own signature tacos and serve them to me for taste test and the four best or two from both teams of my choice will make it to the menu for tonight's dinner service.

Then Jean Phillipe came with a cart full of ingredients for the tacos.

Gordon: Grab the ingredients and your challenge starts... Now!

It was every man/woman for themselves as they grabbed everything they needed went on to the kicthens and began preparing they dishes for Gordon.

"Minutes later"

The teams were done as they were present with they're sealed plates.

Gordon: Alright I will choose a person to represent them to me and I will start of with... Raj.

Raj grabbed his dish and went to Gordon.

Gordon: Alright what have you made big boy?
Raj: I made a sheet pan pineapple shrimp taco.

He revealed his dish.

Gordon: Pineapple with shrimp?
Raj: Yes chef!
Gordon: This looks like the seafood vegetable pancake you made me back at season 8.

He gave it a taste.

Gordon: Shame, it tastes good but it looks like a mess, back in line.

Raj grabbed his plate and went back to his place.

"Confessional"

Seth: And smooth moves Raj.

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Sasha, your up missy.

She went to Gordon with her dish.

Sasha: Chef, I represent to you my chicken parm taco, made with chicken breasts and garlic.
Gordon: Alright let's give it a try.

Gordon gaved it taste and he had a impressed look on his face.

Gordon: I like it, in fact it's on the menu for tonight.

Sasha smiled as she went back to her place.

"Confessional"

Sasha: Oh yes!

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Seth, your up.

Seth came with his plate.

Gordon: What did you make?
Seth: I represent to you the big mac taco, which has grilled cheese with a well prepared burger meat.

Gordon was awestruck by it's design and then tasted it and spat on the garbage can.

Gordon: What the hell is this? The meat looks literal shit!

This shocked the rest of the contestants.

Gordon: And also I have never been a McDonald fan, back in line.

Seth went back to his place with a grimace on his face and Raj smiled.

"Confessional"

Raj: And that's called karma, Seth.

He crossed his arms with a smirk on his face.

"End of confessional"

Minutes later, the rest showed off they're tacos and in the end only 4 plates were on the table that was in front of Ramsay.

Gordon: Alright, so far only 4 tacos have managed to live up to they're expectations. Those being Sasha's chicken palm taco. Drew's cilanto-lime shrimp taco. Randy's Al pastor taco and Nia's blackened salmon taco.

The four were playing attention to Ramsay.

Gordon: I like all of them and it's a tie between both teams... It's hard to decide who wins this round...

The teams were sweating for who the winners and losers were.

Gordon:... But I have to go with the red team on this one.

The girls cheered while the guys and Becky clapped for them winning the challenge.

Gordon: Congrats red team, your reward will be in a famous mexican in LA, El Pescador.

The girls cheered while the blue team were pretty dissapointed that they didn't win.

Gordon: As for the blue team, your punishment will be to eat all the tacos that I disliked and almost barfed from them, after that you will then-

He then heard deep breathing which startled everyone.

Gordon: Who's breathing like that?

Everyone turned around to see Raj was the person who breathed like that.

Gordon: Raj, chill out, okay?
Raj: Yes chef, sorry chef!

"Confessional"

Bayley : Raj was breathing very weirdly, like this.

She began immitating his breathing.

Charlotte did the same thing like Raj.

Kairi did the same breathing like Raj.

Drew: I was like thinking that a Scottish highland cow was giving birth to a young one.

He chuckled.

"End of confessional"

Gordon: As I was saying, after you finish the failiure you will then scrub every fridge on this entire building. Now off you go.

They left as the red team went to change for they're trip and said they're goodbyes to the blue team who were now eating the tacos that Gordon didn't like.

Randy: After this, we have to scrub the fridges cause I bet chef Ramsay noticed the hair of a certain someone.

He refered to Raj.

Raj: I can't believe it, I am being bullied by the likes of you. What do you have against me?
Randy: Nothing, it's just that I find you to be a weird individual like back at season 8 and I fear you will try to drag us down.
Seth: I have to agree with him on this one.
Raj: Guys I know I made a huge Impact back at season 8 and I am a changed person and I prooved that to you.
Becky: I have to see if that's true. What do you guys think?
Drew: I like him, he maybe "nuts" but I actually find him kinda nice.
Shinsuke: He's a good training partner for karate.
Raj: Glad I have some people by my side.

"At the red team's side"

They were at the resturant were Gordon said he would take them and they were having fun.

Kairi: It sucks that the blue team aren't here.
Charlotte: This might make Becky wanna be trade to the red team again.

They laughed.

Gordon: Well too bad ladies, Becky will stay with the red team till she gets eliminated.
Nia: Well that sucks.
Bayley: Definetly.
Sasha: So what are we eating?
Gordon: Anything you want, except for anything too expensive.

The girls nodded in agreement.

"At the blue team's side"

After finishing they're failiures, they went on to grab the cleaning supplies to scrub the fridges. They split into 3 teams. Randy and Seth went on to cover the fridges on the east side. Drew and Shin went to cover the fridges on the west side and Becky was with Raj covering the fridges on both kitchens for dinner service.

Becky: Alright Raj, this is my first time to work together with you, let's hope we do a good job okay?
Raj: Alright what do you need?
Becky: I need you to-

Then suddenly the for Hell's Kitchen rang.

Becky: I'll start off, can you go check who's on the phone?
Raj: Sure thing.

He went to find the phone and upon finding it he answered the call.

Man: Hello, is this Hell's Kitchen?
Raj: No, this is Raj.
Man: Oh, okay Raj... Are you from Hell's Kitchen?
Raj: Yeah, I am working here what do you need?
Man: I would like to apply a reservetion tonight for me and some buddies of mine.
Raj: Sure, what time are you coming?
Man: At 18h.
Raj: Alright and may I know your name.
Man: The name is Snoop Dogg, me and my friends are gonna crash in to see how it looks like to eat at Hell's Kitchen.
Raj: Wait? Snoop Dogg, as like the rapper Snoop Dogg?
Snoop Dogg: Yeah, see ya later man.

He hung up and Raj went back to Becky to help her.

Becky: Who called?
Raj: Snoop Dogg did.
Becky: Snoop Dogg?! That's gonna be a huge review for HK, you better tell chef Ramsay about it after we get done alright.

Raj nodded and he then helped Becky out.

"Confessional"

Becky: So far, Raj is a okay individual to be completely honest and I bet he was lucky to recieve a call from one of the top rappers around the world.

"End of confessional"

Randy was with Seth as they cleaned a fridge. Then Seth pulled a piece of black hair from the freezer.

Seth: God fucking dammit.
Randy: Raj?
Seth: Definetly Raj.

"Confessional"

Seth: I found his hair on the fucking freezer, bleh!

"End of confessional"

Randy: I swear he might be an alien from outer space sent to sabotage our team.
Seth: We have to get rid of him before he drag us down into oblivion.

The two nodded.

"At the red team's side"

The women and Ramsay were eating.

Gordon: Charlotte, when I said that you can order anything except expensive stuff, I didn't mean you can order a burrito that costs like 85$
Charlotte: Sorry chef, I wanted to try it so badly and it's my first time though.
Gordon: Understandable, also didn't say I was paying for your food.

The girls looked at him as he lightly chuckled.

Gordon: Just kidding, I will be paying it for you.
Kairi: Arigato chef.

She bowed to him.

"At the blue team's side"

Shin and Drew were done with a fridge.

Drew: Those two are giving Raj one bad time.
Shin: I get it he was so weird back at season 8, but he's less weird and more useful right now.
Drew: I say if we lose this challenge, I will vote for either of them getting the boot.

Then soon the red team came back and they saw Becky and Raj scrubbing more fridges.

Bayley: Having fun guys?
Becky: Yeah, we are having a lot of fun alright, also Raj needs to talk with chef Ramsay about something.

Then Gordon came.

Gordon: What does Raj want from me?
Raj: I just recieved a call from the Hell's Kitchen telephone for a reservation from a rapper named Snoop Dogg.

Sasha shrieked in excitment.

Gordon: What's wrong Sasha?
Sasha: Snoop Dogg happens to be my cousin.
Gordon: That's wonderful, so your cousin that is a famous rappers is visiting my resturant this will be splendid. Charlotte go call the rest for a meeting.
Charlotte: Yes chef.

"Confessional"

Sasha: This is my moment to shine. I won't disappoint you cuz.

"End of confessional"

"Hours later"

Gordon called both teams to the kitchen.

Gordon: Alright everyone tonight is going to be an important night for us since we have a celebrity tonight who goes by the name of Snoop Dogg. And all I want from you is to be at your best behavior and do spectacular on the dinner service tonight. Did I make myself clear.
All: Yes chef!

Gordon then turned to Raj.

Gordon: Raj, I need you to focus, so wake up.
Raj: Yes chef.
Gordon: And one more thing... Stay out of the fucking fridge.

Raj then had flashbacks.

"Flashback"

It showed every time Raj putting his head in the freezer just to "cool his head".

"End of flashback"

Raj: Yes chef!

This made both Randy and Seth chuckle a bit.

Gordon: Alright, let's open the doors.

"During dinner service"

The teams were going neck and neck for the reviews of the customers. Gordon went to the blue team.

Gordon: Alright two of Randy's tacos and one beef wellington with a lamb sauce.
Becky: Coming right now chef.

She was preparing the wellington while Randy was with Drew preparing the tacos. Gordon made his way to the red team.

Gordon: Red team, three of Nia's tacos and one salmon.
Nia: Yes chef.

She was with Sasha and Bayley preparing the tacos while Kairi was doing the salmon.

Gordon: Oh and one potato garnish.

Charlotte: I'll get it done.

She went on to do the garnish.

"Confessional"

Kairi: Just hoping that Charlotte doesn't screw things up.

"End of confessional"

Then Snoop Dogg and his friends entered the kitchen and Jean Phillipe greeted them.

Jean: Hello gentlemen, follow me to the VIP table.
Snoop Dogg: Right back at ya bro.

They followed him to the red VIP table which was close to the red team's kitchen, Sasha saw her cousin and she waved at him as did he before ordering they're meals and giving it to Ramsay.

Gordon: After that, you have to do 4 of Sasha's tacos with a wild mushroom garnish.

Sasha: Yes chef!

While they were in focus mode, Ramsay went to the blue team.

Gordon: Randy, how are the tacos going on?
Randy: I am on it chef, just give me 3 minutes okay?
Shin: Becky, how long on the wellington.
Becky: Almost done Shin.
Gordon: New orders, one chicken jidori and one ceaser salad.
Raj: Yes chef!

He began making the jidori while Shin was doing the salad.

Gordon: Becky, is the wellington done?
Becky: Yes chef.

She put the wellington in a plate and gave it to Gordon as he examined it, but he wasn't happy with the results.

Gordon: Becky! Come here madam.

She came to chef Ramsay.

Becky: What do you need chef?
Gordon: What do I need? Look at the wellington, it's overcooked!

He then tossed it across the kitchen.

Gordon: Make it again Becky!
Becky: Coming right now chef.

She went back to her position.

"Confessional"

Becky: I don't know how I fucked up somehow.

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Randy! The tacos mister?!
Randy: Coming right now chef.

He grabbed the tacos and delivered them to Gordon and he checked on them.

Gordon: Randy, the tacos are perfect.
Randy: Thank you chef.
Raj: Chef I am almost done with the salad.
Gordon: How long?
Raj: Two seconds.
Gordon: Alright. One, two. Where is it?
Raj: Sorry, one minute, my bad.

Gordon face palmed as he then went to the red kitchen.

Gordon: Charlotte how long on the potato garnish.
Charlotte: I am almost done chef.
Gordon: Nia, what about your tacos?
Nia: Done chef.

She then put them on a plate and gave them to chef Ramsay. Gordon looked at them and was impressed.

Gordon: Nia, nice job on the tacos.
Nia: Thank you chef.
Charlotte: I am done with the garnish chef.

She gave the garnish to Gordon and eyed it but he wasn't expecting one thing.

Gordon: Charlotte!
Charlotte: Yes chef?
Gordon: The potato garnish is stone fucking cold! It looks like fools gold.
Charlotte: I am so sorry chef.
Gordon: Nia, go to Charlotte's garnish station and help her out with the potato and mushroom garnishes.
Nia: Yes chef.

She went to Charlotte and began helping her.

"Confessional"

Nia: I can't believe I have to help out this lazy bitch just because she doesn't know how to a fucking garnish.

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Sasha, how are the tacos?
Sasha: Me and Bayley are almost done chef. Give us two more minutes.

Gordon then went to the blue team.

Gordon: Raj, how's the salad.
Raj: Here it is chef!

He gave him the salad and Gordon examined it and he sighed.

Gordon: Raj! Come here big boy!

Raj came to him.

Gordon: What's the matter with you? You just screwed the salad, it's like you forgot to water the vegetables this morning and they look fucking RAW!!!
Raj: Sorry chef, it won't happen again.

He grabbed the salad and returned to his station.

Gordon: Shin, the jidori.
Shinsuke: Coming right now chef.

He delivered him the jidori and Gordon examined it.

Gordon: Shin!
Shinsuke: Yes chef?
Gordon: Jidori is cooked perfectly.
Shinsuke: Thank you chef.
Gordon: Becky how's the wellington?
Becky: Doing it as fast as I can't chef. Seth, where's the sauce?
Seth: Busy with it, Becks.
Gordon: Come on Becky, your slowing everyone down.
Becky: Here it is chef.

She delivered the wellington which was better than the last one.

Gordon: Finally, good job.
Becky: Thanks chef.

Gordon then noticed a frustrated Raj with the salad he was tasked to do.

Gordon: Seth, go help Raj over there.
Seth: Yes chef.

He went to Raj's side to help him with the salad.

"Confessional"

Seth: Raj is like a kid who you need to handle with care otherwise he might self destruct unless he doesn't "cool off"

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Come on Raj!

There was no answer as he was sweating.

Gordon: Seth and Raj, you just gone quiet and none of you are working as a team.

He then realized something.

Gordon: WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE!!!
Becky: Come on man...
Seth: I just-
Gordon: WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE!!!!!!!
Becky: Right here chef, I have it!
Gordon: There's just nothing coming together.

Becky gave Raj the lamb sauce and he went to Gordon's side.

Raj: Here you go.
Gordon: Thank you.
Raj: Your welcome.

He left.

Gordon: Oh fuck off you fat useless sack of fucking yanky danky doodle shite.
Seth: Chef I am done with the salad.

He gave it to chef and he examined it but sighed with deep regret.

Gordon: Seth! Come here mister!

Seth approached the chef.

Gordon: What did you do?
Seth: What do you mean? If looks fien chef.
Gordon: Fine? It looks so out of place. Look at it!

He pulled Seth closer so he could eye the salad.

Seth: Sorry chef, I will fix it.
Gordon: Tell you what, the diffrence between you and Hannibal Lector is that at least he knows how to properly serve people. Fuck off you fucking donkey!

Seth made his way to the exit and he banged on the door.

Seth: Fuck!

He then left.

Gordon: What's the matter with that muppet?

Gordon: Charlotte and Nia how are the garnishes?
Charlotte: Done with he mushroom garnish.
Nia: Same with the potato garnish.

They gave the garnishes to Gordon and examined them but he instantly recognized a mistake.

Gordon: Hey ladies, come here.

They all turned to him.

Gordon: The tall one and the big sack of piss and wind.

They knew that he meant to Nia and Charlotte as they approached him.

Gordon: Look at the garnishes you lazy cows! They are fucking RAW.
Charlotte: Chef, I did what she said.
Gordon: No one gives a damn what you say Charlotte. I don't care if you are related to a King, royalty or not I do not tolerate failiure.
Nia: Chef, we did our best.
Gordon: Look at the potato garnish. This potato is so undercooked that it could still play a part in Toy Story.
Nia: But what about-
Gordon: And the mushroom garnish, the mushroom is so raw it said that the princess is in another castle! That's it I had it with you two... Both of you FUCK OFF OUT OF HERE NOW!!!

The two got out of the kitchen with pissed off looks on they're faces.

"Confessional"

Nia: It was all that Charlotte's fault, none of this could've happened if she didn't fucked up.

"End of confessional"

Gordon: Sasha, how are your tacos?
Sasha: They are done chef.

She gave them to Gordon and he examined them.

Gordon: Nicely done Sasha.
Sasha: Mind if I serve the food cause you know-
Gordon: Of course, be my guest.

She went with the tray and served the food to her cousin Snoop Dogg and his friends.

Sasha: Have a nice meal cuz, I said I would never dissapoint you.
Snoop Dogg: It means a lot Sash.

He tasted the food and he liked it.

Snoop Dogg: Nice skills, I like it.

Soon the entire dinner service was successful, despite the fact that three people got kicked out.

"After dinner service"

Gordon called both teams for a meeting.

Gordon: I have to say that I enjoyed this night as it had a lot of focus in it... With some exceptions...

He eyed Seth, Raj, Nia and Charlotte.

Gordon: In terms of who won, I had to let the customers decide it and it turns out that the red team pulled through with a 57% while the blue team got 50%.

The red team cheered while the blue team sighed in defeat.

Gordon: Tonight, I want 2 nominees from the blue team for eliminations tonight, now fuck off all of you.

They all left the kitchen.

"At the blue team's side"

Drew: Alright who do we got to vote for?
Randy: It's obvious I would vote for Raj.
Raj: Why me?
Seth: I agree with Randy, you acted more like an anchor to us and you lost control of your position.
Shinsuke: I say our number two nominee should be Seth.

Seth gave him a death glare.

Becky: I agree, you got yourself kicked out during the service and got on the chef's nerves.
Drew: Raise your hands for Seth.

So far everyone minus Seth and Randy raised they're hands for him.

Randy: So it's Raj and Seth on this one. Hope you make it out of this.

"At the dining room"

The blue team were standing while he red team were sitting on chairs as Gordon came to the dining room.

Gordon: Alright, Becky who's the first nominee and why?
Becky: The first nominee is Raj, because some of us said that he lost control and focus during the service-
Seth: -And was acting like a child.
Gordon: Hold on, did I give you permission to speak?
Seth: No chef.
Gordon: The shut the fuck up, you fucking muppet. Who's the second nominee and why?
Becky: The second nominee is Seth.

Seth gave her a deadly glare.

Becky: He got on your nerves tonight and lost focus and let his guard down, I don't think he should continue anymore.
Gordon: Alright, Raj and Seth step forward.

They stepped forward and faced Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon: Raj, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?
Raj: Come to think of it, I deserve to stay since I perfected my skills as a cool. Sure I may have made some of my teammates think that I am "nuts" but I have some support, I can change the tides in next dinner service chef.
Gordon: Seth, what makes you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
Seth: Sure, I may have pissed you off tonight chef Ramsay, bur I can make it up to you. I have the honor, loyalty and tenacity to do so. I have very high will than anyone in both teams, so trust me of my words-
Gordon: Enough...

He stopped and looked at Ramsay.

Gordon: The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is...

The two were sweaty like hell and couldn't hold it if one of them would go home.

Gordon turned around.

Gordon: Charlotte...

She gave him a shocked look with her arms crossed and the girls smiled.

Gordon: You missy, are out of your league and I personaly can't take it anymore.

She got up and approached Gordon.

Gordon: The jacket and leave Hell's Kitchen.

She removed her jacket and gave it to him, before she left she turned around.

Charlotte: I hope you all choke on your words because without me, you will all crumble. Oh and Nia, I hope you get what you deserve.

She then left as Nia didn't give a damn.

"Confessional"

Charlotte: This is literal bullshit, why should I go out? This is an outrage and I want a recount!

"End of confessional"

Gordon turned to the red team.

Gordon: There you go ladies, I just removed you the anchor of your ship, think of it as a prize from me.
Red team: Yes and thank you chef.

He them turned around to face Raj and Seth.

Gordon: Both of you, back in line.

They returned to they're positions.

Gordon: Raj, wake up.
Raj: Yes chef.
Gordon: And Seth... This is your very last chance, wake up or you will be next to walk out.
Seth: Yes chef.
Gordon: Now all of you fuck off out of here.

They all left.

"At catering"

The girls celebrated for the elimination of Charlotte.

Sasha: Finally, we are free of Charlotte!
Kairi: A roast for a new beginning.

They all drank they're champagne and then Raj came to them.

Raj: Hey girls can you keep it down, some of us are gonna try to get some sleep, okay?
Nia: Sure Raj, glad you are still here.

He nodded and left. Seth was having a smoke with Randy.

Seth: I can't believe it, Raj should've gone home.
Randy: It's bullshit that he's still here, I swear that he represents an anchor to all of us.
Seth: What does that Ramsay see inhim though?
Drew: He has potential.

They turned around to see Drew standing in front of him.

Drew: He knows Raj has changed, sure he can be clingy at times but give him a break will ya. The man is almost at his 60's and doesn't deserve to be yelled at.

He left the two.

"At Gordon's side"

He ran up stairs with Charlotte's jacket.

Gordon: Charlotte prooved to me that no matter how strong you get, you will always remain the same, it comes the show that the bigger you are, the harder you fall. And that's why she has overstayed her welcome in Hell's Kitchen.

He placed her jacket on a hook as her picture was burning.

OK guys, what did you think of this chapter?

Peace out!
