Hell's Kitchen

Eighteen chefs vie for a head chef position at Gordon Ramsay Steak at the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino. Ramsay splits up the contestants into two teams.

The chefs remove scallops from a mound of ice and seaweed before cooking them to Chef Ramsay's standards. The first team to make six plates of five scallops wins a day of yacht cruising.

The two teams must cook a meal for sixty newly naturalized U.S. citizens. The winners go on a safari trip in San Diego while the losers do manual labor at the Ballona Wetlands.

The aspiring chefs create four different lamb dishes. The winners spend a day at the horse races while the losers first wash paint off the sheep, then clean the kitchens for the dinner service.

The remaining contestants tackle Mexican cuisine in a challenge judged by executive chefs John Sedlar and Thomas Ortega. The winners dine at one of the judge's gourmet restaurants for lunch.

Fashion and food mix when the contestants prepare an haute couture-inspired menu for designers. The winners get new wardrobes while the losers prepare a dinner service.

For the dinner service, the remaining contestants must serve Tito Ortiz and Sugar Ray Leonard protein-packed dishes that'll knock their socks off.

The contestants must prepare a thirty-minute meal in which a slot machine randomly determines the ingredients that they can use. The winners go on a shopping spree for kitchenware and utensils.

The chefs continue to compete at Gordon Ramsay Steak at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, but personal conflicts distract from their work.

The remaining chefs create their own menus in the toughest challenge yet. Chef Ramsay relies on diner comment cards for his brutally honest criticism.

A Southern gospel choir sings a rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" to the remaining contestants. The teams must put a modern spin on a traditional southern dish in thirty minutes.

The two teams must prepare three dishes from the regular Hell's Kitchen menu in a tag-team race. Chef Ramsay judges the dishes on completeness, appearance and taste.

The contestants taste Chef Lefebvre and Chef Hatfield's dishes. This leads to a challenge in which the chefs must distinguish the ingredients in the meals and reproduce it in thirty minutes.

For today's challenge, the chefs take a trip to Bristol Farms supermarket and have ten minutes to spend fifteen dollars on ingredients. The chefs must cook a dish with the groceries they bought.

In hour one, the final two contestants prepare five entrées that are judged by five legendary chefs, including Wolfgang Puck.
