Dulce is starting to feel overwhelmed! Is the pressure to win getting to her? Or is it something else...? We won't be finding out in the next segment.
Previous / Next (Transcript under the cut)
(1.) [Carlo] Tsk, tsk. They should have thought more outside the box. Also, Dulce really has to watch the time. Andrea, please check on the contestants.
(2.) [Andrea] How is everything, Chef Dulce?
[Dulce] Ehh, I'm not entirely happy with the flavor and spice, so I think I'll add some red chiles too.
(3.) I have to push through and make it to the dessert round. I think once I get there, the title of Diced Junior Champion is mine since I'm a baker's daughter.
(4.) [Alex] Hi, Andrea. Sorry, I can't really talk right now. Gotta focus.
[Andrea] Oh, okay-
(5.) [Alex] I hope she didn't find that rude. Like I said, I like Andrea. Carlo is kind of getting on my nerves, though. You're worried about time but also want us to stop and chitchat for a while? Let me work, man.
(6.) [Andrea] How's your progress, Rubiya?
[Rubiya] The jicama isn't really cooperating with me right now... but everything else is good!
(7.) [Rubiya] It'd be life-changing for me if I won. I could use that money for culinary school. There's always the regional spelling bees that I'll try in the future, but nothing is ever guaranteed in life. Take every chance you get.
(8.) [Alex] If I won, I would donate the money to the ALS Association. My grandpa in Henford-on-Bagley recently passed away from ALS complications. He was a nice man. He would take me around his farm, and he even gave some goats to my parents.
(9.) [Alex] That's why I know how to raise goats and cook the meat... hey! I guess Lewis and I aren't that much different. We know a thing or two about the farm life.
(10.) [Dulce] If I won, I would give most of the money to my mom for our bakery. There were some people who... took advantage of certain things, so the bakery suffered for a long time. Everything is okay now, but not exactly like how it used to be.
(11.) [Alex] Dang, I almost forgot about my jicama! I have to still spiralize it too.
(12.) [Mia] Wow, I've never seen such concentration from young chefs before. They are fully immersed.
[Sofia] Bring me back as a judge next season! I'll be recording a deluxe version of my album, but I'll make time.
(13.) [Dulce] Done dicing and chopping everything! I'll add everything to the pot and put back the extra things in the fridge.
(14.) [Rubiya] What a beautiful color.
(15.) [Dulce] Excu-
[Alex] Oh crud-
(16.) [Alex] Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
[Dulce] Oh, um-
(17.) [Alex] Dulce? Are you okay?
[Dulce] Yeah, yeah, just a little embarrassed.
[Alex] Here, let me help you clean up.
(18.) [Andrea's Voiceover] Meanwhile, Rubiya is focused on her dish, as she should be!
[Rubiya] Hmmmm... is there anything else I can add?
(19.) [Alex] Are you sure you're okay?
[Dulce] Yeah, don't worry about it, but I have to go check on my soup! Hopefully it's about done, I left it simmering.
(20.) [Sofia] Good thing everyone is okay!
[Mia] Chefs, you guys have 5 minutes left on the clock! Please start plating soon.

Uh oh, it looks like Lewis got himself into some trouble! Are the other contestants as lucky as they seem at this moment? Find out what the judges have to say about their dishes in the next segment.
Previous / Next (Transcript under the cut)
(1.) [Andrea] We are overjoyed to have the three of you as judges. Please, talk amongst yourselves while I check on the chefs.
(2.) N/A
(3.) [Sofia] Wow, everyone is so focused!
[Mia] They're adorable, aren't they? What dish are you looking forward to the most, Sofia?
[Carlo] Nothing in particular catches my attention, thanks for asking.
(4.) N/A
(5.) [Andrea] Chef Alex, tell me, how is it going over here?
[Alex] Great. My potatoes are boiling and I'll make sure to season them well once they're done. Also, I'm sauteing the merguez sausages and keeping a close eye on them.
(6.) [Alex] Andrea is nice and welcoming. I like her a lot.
(7.) [Lewis] It's smooth sailing over here! My vinaigrette is just how I want it to be. I'll get everything else done in a jiffy, except for my croutons. I don't want 'em to get stale.
(8.) [Andrea] Chef Dulce, how are you doing, sweetie?
(9.) [Dulce] It's going really well. I put a lot of thought into the amount of all the ingredients I'm using. Everything needs to complement each other.
(10.) [Rubiya] I couldn't be happier with how my spaghetti is turning out. I drained the pasta when it was still a little undercooked because it's going to keep cooking as I mix in the sauce and other ingredients. I want the texture and flavors to be perfect.
(11.) [Mia] Chefs, you have 5 minutes left on the timer! Make sure you start plating now if you haven't yet.
(12.) [Rubiya] I'm cutting it a bit close, but I got this!
(13.) [Sofia] Chef Alex seems like they're about done. I like their plating.
[Mia] Oh no, I'm concerned about Chef Lewis.
(14.) [Lewis] Oh, no no no no no no no-
(15.) [Lewis] Okay, looks like you CAN mess up a salad. My croutons didn't have that nice golden brown color yet, and with the time running out, I decided to turn up the heat a little. Big mistake. I have burnt croutons now.
(16.) [Alex] Good thing that ain't me.
(17.) [Dulce] Perfect!
(18.) [N/A]
(19.) [Andrea] Hands up, chefs! Your 30 minutes are up. Please come to the front of the judges' table
(20) [N/A]
