Hell's Kitchen

Tyrannical chef Gordon Ramsay returns for a third summer to tutor and torture aspiring chefs. The winner will receive a job as head chef at Nevadas Green Valley Ranch Resort.

The two teams face off in a food-prep challenge that rewards the winners with a chance to spend time with Chef Ramsay away from the kitchen.

Chef Ramsay orders the remaining contestants to cook breakfast for visiting service members. The winning team will receive a day of rest, and the losers get kitchen patrol duty.

On the fourth day, the remaining chefs compete in a blindfold taste test. The losers must accept a difficult punishment while the winners dine with Chef Ramsay.

Melissa joins the men in a competition to see which team can prepare better lobster dishes. But there's a catch: the teams must kill their crustaceans first.

The six remaining contestants must make appetizers and entrées from leftovers, then both teams must craft their own menus for the evening's dinner service.

Chef Ramsay consolidates the five remaining contestants into one team, but first they must compete against one another to impress 100 hungry high school students.

The three remaining chefs prepare gourmet versions of classic American dishes for outside judges: their mothers, who don't know whose plates they're sampling.

The final two contestants take on a final challenge that involves more than just cooking: they must design and manage their own restaurants.

In the season finale, tempers flare as the two contestants prepare one last dinner service for Chef Ramsay.
