After the usual balloon juice about how it's a "once in a lifetime experience" (which I don't think it is; the waves are there pretty much around the clock), we see some hijinx with Jean-Philippe. I assume he's decided it's more fun to hang out with the winning team than to wave crabs at the losing team, because he's handing out brightly-colored beach towels. Then Gordon picks him up and dumps him in the ocean, which kind of says a lot about Gordon Ramsay.
Before the dinner service, Chef Ramsay brings the chefs together in the dining room. Then he tears up the menu and says that they'll be making up their own menu. Louross is into it! So am I, because I am so sick of typing the word "risotto". I keep wanting to put an extra "s" in there. Anyway, each team needs to do three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts.
Running up to the dorms, Corey breathlessly tells Matt and Corey that she'll be the one who writes things down and they'll be verbalizing. That's the word she used, "verbalizing". It makes me think she's run corporate brainstorming sessions. Matt wants pan-seared lobster, and Christina wants a big steak. Then Matt adds a pork chop. That sounds pretty good. Meanwhile, the blue team's brainstorming is intercut with Jen shouting "BORING!" and "Bzzt! Wrong!" and generally bulldozing her team. Cut to a smiling red team, enjoying their teamwork. Cut back to a sulking Louross looking hate rays at their menu. He feels that it's more a "Jen menu" than a "blue team menu". I understand his point, but hasn't the blue team lost an awful lot so far? I mean, why would a real "blue team" menu be so great? I think both teams should have tried for a "Chef Ramsay menu".
The red team lists a bunch of food (sorry for the lack of transcription, but the words don't quite match the sheet of paper, so I'm punting), ending with a single dessert: "a strawberry shortcake with a chocolate martini shooter on the side." Chef Ramsay thinks it "reads very clever", and that if they can pull it off, it will be good. Matt goes into soppy mode, interviewing that he wishes the three of them were opening a restaurant together and adds, "I'm so happy we're teammates." That's a sentence I cannot say without it sounding sarcastic.
Louross describes the blue menu to Chef Ramsay, and he sounds reasonably enthusiastic, even while saying things like "halibut wrapped with zucchini and squash". Chef Ramsay thinks it sounds ghastly and Louross pretty much agrees with him. Jen looks like she wants to turn around and slap him. Chef Ramsay feels that the blue menu is 70% Jen and 100% hideous. He insists on the blue menu being redone right there, and I can see a lot more dishes on it than we were told about. The red team is conferring during this, so it's good that they're not just standing there gloating the whole time. Not the whole time.
