Nailed It! (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Holi-Daze - full transcript

Welcome to Nailed It,

the baking show where people take this

and perfectly replicate it like this.

Today three home bakers will
recreate epic magical desserts

over two rounds of competition...

for a chance to win

$10,000 dollars.

Let's meet our bakers.

I am Knephaunatoria Smith.
I'm from Humble, Texas.

I work as a senior care associate,

but baking is what I set my heart to do
because I have the passion for it.



I want to perfect my recipes
so that I can open up my own bakery.

My name's Joelito and I'm from Boston.

So at night I'm a DJ

and just like with music,

you play a little hip hop, a little house,
blend everything together,

same thing in the kitchen.

I love being creative,
always trying new things.

and thinking outside of the box
and come out with a remix.

My name is Erin Crocker
and I'm from Fredericksburg, Virginia.

I have six kids
so I make six birthday cakes a year.

My kids love my cakes but...

I wanna learn how to do it better

and be able to make them a dessert
that they would be truly proud of.

Welcome Erin,



Joelito, and Knephaunatoria.

You guys ready to get your bake on?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Today on Nailed It we are wishing you
a happy holiday.

As always, our head judge,

a man who can make
a perfect chocolate mold,

which makes me think
I'm standing next to a chocolate mold,

Jacques Torres.

Jacques?

Just kidding.

[laughter]

You got me.

-Jacques, I love you.
-I'm so excited about today's challenge.

It's going to be fun.

Our special guest judge
is an award winning pastry chef,

Waylynn Lucas.

Hi.

I am so excited to be here,

because for me, the holidays
are the best time to bake.

So I can't wait to see
what you guys create.

[Byer] There's a special prize
for the winner of this round.

Baker's Choice.

Behind door number one
are three classic holiday treats.

You choose which one you wanna nail.

No matter what holiday you're celebrating,

you're gonna be the hit of that party
with these...

random holiday cookies.

[laughs]

Well, these are
just like mom used to make,

soft and sugary cookies
perfectly molded into shapes

of some of your favorite
holiday characters.

There's Gobbles
the Thanksgiving turkey cookie,

and a Saint Patty's Day pot of gold cookie
at the end of the rainbow.

And it truly wouldn't be a holiday party

without the ultimate
Christmas-time accessory,

the ugly sweater cookie!

It's Baker's Choice, people.
Go get your cookies!

Erin's just walking...

with no purpose.

[laughter]

Joelito, why did you choose
the ugly Christmas sweater?

So, my last ugly sweater
was Santa Claus doing the dab,

and every year I'm always trying to beat
the competition with the best ugly sweater

to impress the ladies.

I like that your answers about baking
go back to girls.

-[laughs]
-Are you single?

-I love food and girls, yes.
-That's your thing?

Yeah, you have to have
all different flavors, you know. [laughs]

Okay, we got 45 minutes on the clock.

Get your bake on! Go!

-Woo, here we go.
-[Torres] That's it.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

I'm feeling good. This is one turkey
that is going to survive the holidays.

[Lucas] Cookies, it makes people happy,

but they really are
a lot harder than it seems.

I love cookies. I love sugar cookies.

Jacques, what's the key
to rolling a good cookie?

I think that you have to...
first, don't mix your dough too much.

Put a little flour under your dough

and roll it evenly everywhere.

Outline the cookie. Put them in the oven.

And then you create and color
your royal icing.

And then use it to decorate your cookie.

Put that in there.
Oh, don't want the paper to go in now.

Two sticks of unsalted butter
and two cups of sugar.

And I'm gonna beat until it's fluffy.

How fluffy is gonna be fluffy? Let's see.

Oh, look at that,
I'm starting to make a mess.

Knephaunatoria's mixer
is going way too fast.

Don't overmix your cookies.

Otherwise they're going to be tough.

[laughs]

It is a blizzard up in here.
Look. It's going everywhere.

That looks like it's fluff.

Eggs.

Vanilla.

Four cups of flour.

Let's kind of get this into the mix

so everything mixes together.

Joelito seems to be very attentive
to his mixer and his dough.

He's kind of treating his mixture
like a woman

He's checking in on her. Is she
having a good time? Is she happy?

I love to bake,
but I'm kinda new to it so...

my main goal is to be
as smooth with the baking

as I am with the ladies.

That is good. Oh, my God, that is good.

[Crocker] Roll out batter and shape.

Oh, you know what?

Grandma used to do this.

I don't know what it does
but you know what?

Grandma did it.

Thickness and thinness of a cookie
totally makes a cookie,

so I need to roll it thin.

That dough is on fleek.

We got to...

make a whole bunch of these.

Once they fluff after the oven,

we're gonna cut them into shape.

I don't know what Joelito is doing.

[Byer] Joelito seems to be making
just balls of cookie dough.

You want to bake the shape of the cookie
that you want to end up with.

[Smith] I got one. One rainbow.

Joelito trying to cut his cookie
after it's baked is a bad idea

because one wrong cut

and the whole cookie can just shatter,
and crumble, and fall apart.

Mm-hmm.

There we go. We're in the oven.
We're golden.

Oh, Lord.

You, my dear friends, can go in.

One container of royal icing.

Let's put this in here.

Joelito is not measuring out
enough of his royal icing,

and I don't think he'll have enough
for his cookies.

My God.

One container of royal icing.

Ten tablespoons of water.

Everybody loves my baking.

When I bake, the neighborhood goes crazy.

But I do have some weaknesses.

[laughs]

Icing is definitely not my forte.

Not for decorating anyways.

It always taste good, but it don't...

I can't get it to look straight.

What are the colors of the rainbow?

Red.

So Knephaunatoria's frosting
looks a little liquidy.

Ew.

[Torres] Yeah, royal icing
should never be that thin.

It has to be much stiffer than that.

She must have added too much water.

Maybe she's going to dip the cookies
in it? That's why?

-Maybe.
-Maybe.

[Smith] Now I am curious to see
how this is gonna churn out.

[laughs]

[sighs]

I still don't get today
why you dip cookies in milk?

What is the story with that?

The French do all kind of shortbread.

-We dip them in red wine.
-[Byer] Mm-hmm.

You guys use milk.

-[Byer] Yes.
-Why?

It makes the milk taste better.

Let's just rewind a second here.

-You're saying you dip cookies in wine?
-[Byer] In wine?

-[Torres] Yes.
-Um...

-Why are we not adopting that tradition?
-Did you ever try that? It's way better.

No, but I know what I'm doing tonight.

I'm going home
and dipping cookies in wine.

-[laughter]
-Come on.

[Crocker] I think that mine
are gonna turn out to look like that.

I am psyched about this.
Like, I feel like I'm on a roll here.

The cookies should be done.

Pretty good.

I'm going to cut them to shape afterwards.
I kind of did it backwards.

Right here.

Joelito's cookies came out of the...

Joelito.

Joelito's cookies
came out of the oven.

They look like half a baseball,
but it's round.

-Yeah, he made these thick spheres.
-This is wild.

What do you think
is going to happen with that?

-I don't know what he's thinking.
-Me too.

[Joelito] So a good thing
about ugly sweaters

is that they're meant to be ugly.

All right.

So right now I'm doing Rudolph's face
out of black fondant.

All right.

Here we go.

That's one.

I know I did it backwards,
but we're gonna make this happen.

I'm doing the arms.
Now I'm doing the bottom.

Ooh.

My sweater's probably the ugliest sweater
in the world right now.

Nobody would buy it.

[sighs]

[Torres] I'm... I'm really worried.

I don't know what's going to happen
over there.

Oh, I should have made more.

This is not gonna be enough.

Now, how am I gonna like fix this?

[groans]

Oh, crap, I don't wanna burn.

Oh!

Okay.

-Erin's cookies just came out of the oven.
-[Torres] Yes.

Okay, I got these.

She's going right to the blast chiller.
Is that a good move?

Yeah, cool down those cookies.
You can't put icing on a hot cookie,

it's just going to melt right off.

[Crocker] Now it's time to decorate.

Little bit of icing here.

I am icing the heads
while I wait for the bodies to cool.

[Smith] Okay, hold on.

Royal icing, I forgot, is very runny.

Maybe if I smear this a little bit.

[laughs]

This is why I don't do icing.

Ten minutes remain.

[Joelito] Let's improvise.

Since we don't have enough icing,

we'll put some frosting in there.

So what I'm gonna do
is put the frosting first.

It's like a remix right here.

[hip hop music plays]

[echos] In the kitchen.

[humming]

Joelito, instead of doing royal icing,
he's doing frosting.

Oh, how weird.

[Joelito] Oh, this one's coming apart.

[Byer] What is the difference
between buttercream frosting and icing?

[Torres] Buttercream frosting is made
from butter, milk, and powdered sugar.

It is creamy
and adds great flavor to pastries.

And then royal icing is usually egg white
and powdered sugar

and a little bit of lemon.

It's less flavorful,
but it's easier to decorate with.

[Lucas] So, those cookies,
they might taste good,

but the whole point of a sugar cookie

-is the royal icing dries hard so...
-[Torres] Yes.

Yeah, that frosting will not be
hard and dry. That's for sure.

They're gonna look a little bit different.

Life is unpredictable,
but you just have to keep on going.

This is my best looking turkey head,
by far.

So we're gonna put him on my best turkey.

Looks like Erin's given us
some like rasta turkeys, man.

[laughs]

Do a Jamaican accent.

What, man?

[laughs]

[Byer] I'll give you a phrase to say,
"Gimme the jerk chicken."

Gimme the jerk chicken.

[laughter]

Two minutes remain.

That's a turkey with glasses.

Red for the nose.

[Smith] Here we go. Well...

[laughs]

Oh, all wrong.

Twenty seconds left.

Ooh, get the rainbow on there.

This sweater's falling apart.

[Byer] Five, four,

three, two...

-one!
-[alarm sounds]

You're done.

[voice trills]

Oh! I don't think y'all wanna see this.

All right, Knephaunatoria.

Just a reminder, this is
what you were trying to make.

Let's see what you made.

-[drum roll]
-Nailed it.

-[laughs]
-[fanfare]

Oh, no, girl!

[laughter]

[Byer] It's like a storm,

and then a rainbow
shooting out of the storm.

It's... royal icing everywhere.

[Lucas] Your icing started out too loose.

It looks like everything
just sort of melted into each other.

Well, hopefully it tastes
a whole lot better than it looks.

[sighs]

I did not nail it.

Let's give it a taste.

-[laughter]
-I think I'm gonna go for a cloud.

I think it's a good cookie.
I think it's a good texture.

I think it's pretty delicious.

I get that sugary, buttery
sort of richness

that comes across in a sugar cookie,

but they're really, really tough.

Perhaps maybe you overmixed
your dough a little bit.

Oh, okay.

All right. Knephaunatoria,
thank you so much.

Okay, Joelito.

This is the perfect
ugly Christmas sweater cookie.

-Let's see what you made.
-[drumroll]

Nailed it.

[fanfare]

Okay.

You cut the cookie after you made it?

[Joelito] Yeah, that's where I went wrong.
But, I mean,

I kept on moving forward,

and what I did was I cut little T shapes,

so they're kind of like sweaters
with the sleeves rolled up.

-[laughs]
-Yeah. [laughs]

Yes, you have to cut that cookie dough

before the cookie dough
goes into the oven.

Yeah.

When it comes out, they break,
it's crumbly, it's too difficult to cut.

[Byer] And then, it looks
like you have frosting on top?

-[Joelito] Yes.
-Instead of the royal icing?

-Right.
-[Byer] Okay.

I'm glad you got them decorated.
Like, I'm really glad that you improvised.

-Let's taste them.
-Al lright.

[Byer] All right, Joelito.

[Torres] It's kind of
a little bit raw also.

They are not baked enough.

On the middle of it they are so thick
that it's kind of raw on the middle of it.

But I like your choice
to add the frosting on top.

That adds nice texture. The M&Ms.

You really made it happen for us,
so I applaud you for that.

-Thank you
-We're gonna move on.

All right, Erin.

This is the perfect
Thanksgiving turkey cookie.

Let's see yours.

[drumroll]

-[fanfare]
-Nailed it!

Oh!

Yeah!

[Torres] I think they kind of look
like turkeys.

Funny turkeys, in a way,

but they look like turkeys, you know.

[Lucas] Some look a little sad.
Some looked baked.

Most of them look confused,

but they look like turkeys.

Let's taste them.

I do think maybe you could have
popped them out of the oven

just like a smidge quicker.

-Because it was a little hard.
-Yes, It might be a little bit hard,

but because you rolled them so thin,

it's actually nice and crunchy.

So I kind of like the texture.

And the decoration,
you know, you're quite on.

We have the turkey on top.

-[gobbles]
-[laughs]

-[Lucas] Oh wow.  That was good.
-That was nice.

French turkeys are very bougie.

-That's impressive.
-Erin, can you gobble?

[gobbling]

She's good.

-Not bad.
-That was the best.

Joelito.

Knephaunatoria. Can you please
scooch on down?

[Torres] One of you nailed it

a little bit harder than the other.

Erin.

Congratulations.

-[Byer] Congratulations, Erin.
-Thank you! Ah!

[gobbles]

[Byer] Way to go, Erin.

Waylynn, tell her what she's won.

You are going to be the life of the party
with this decorating tote set.

Trust me, you're totes
gonna love this tote.

[Byer] Erin, you're in the lead,
and everyone's gonna know it

because you'll be competing in round two

wearing the prestigious
Nailed It baker's cap.

Thank you, Wes. Happy holidays.

Here you go, Erin.

Got to swap out hats.

Gladly.

-[Byer] Are you excited?
-I am psyched.

Okay.

Now,

Joelito.

-Actually, it's Joelito.
-What?

Jo-el-ito.

-[Byer] Joelito?
-Yeah.

I've been saying your name wrong
this whole time?

Joelito. Joelito. Joelito.

-Joelito's cookies came out of the oven...
-Joelito.

Joelito. Joelito.

A little bit. [laughs]

[Byer] Okay. Um...

Oh, my God.

This... this is...

Joelito, I'm so sorry.

[laughs]

-[laughs]
-[Byer] But, that's okay.

It is okay. I have learned
how to pronounce your name.

And and we're gonna give you
an extra helping hand in the next round,

which is behind door number two.

Everybody starts from scratch
here in round two.

The $10,000 grand prize

will go the winner of this challenge
that we call Nail it or Fail it.

In your next challenge, you are going
to be replicating one of the most failed

treats in holiday sweets history.

So run, run as fast as you can to...

["Jingle Bells" plays]

Oh, my...

Oh, my.

Picture yourself
rambling through this fondant forest

and up the peanut butter fudge walkway

for a party
at the gingerbread man's house:

a two-story winter wonderland

stacked with gingerbread,

frosted together with icing mortar,

decorated to holiday perfection.

Look out there in the buttercream
snow-coated yard

with peppermint bark pond.

[laughter]

You got this one.

[Byer] Now, because we're providing you
with the gingerbread pieces,

we'll be judging you
on the look of your structure

and the taste of your peppermint pond
and peanut butter path.

So, make 'em good.

I know this house looks pretty tough,
but don't worry,

because we're gonna give you
some help in this round.

Each of you now has a panic button
on your station,

and if you hit a little trouble,

just hit that panic button

and one of our experts will come over
and help you for three full minutes.

Now, Joelito.

Oh, Joelito.

Since you struggled so hard
in that first round,

and since I messed up your name,

we're gonna give you some extra help.

All right.

At any point during this final round
just hit the call for help button.

Come on down!

And you get to make a three-minute
video call to anyone you want

who you think might help you.

Okay, here we go.

Two and a half hours on the clock.

$10,000 on the line.

It is time to nail it or fail it!

Vámonos! Go, go, go! Bake, bake, bake!

It has begun.

All right. So let's pull up the recipe.

All right.

Let's go get me some gingerbread.

I'm gonna go get my gingerbread.

-This chalet is quite complicated, no?
-It's very complicated.

So, what I will do...

I will pick all the parts,

and then I will do the royal icing
a little bit thick on the inside,

make the base really strong
with the royal icing inside.

Then when it's dry, you keep adding
all the small detail,

like the Christmas light,

the snow in the yard,
and the Christmas trees.

And finally,

attach your peanut butter fudge walkway
and peppermint pond on the yard.

A lot can go wrong, but there's a lot
that you can do with creativity.

It's fun, it's a different kind of pastry.

All right.

I'm gonna make some royal icing.

I'm gonna need eight cups
of powdered sugar.

[Crocker] I am separating my eggs.
I need the whites.

That looks like a nice, nice icing.

It's gonna be my biggest redemption
right here.

So this time I'm really gonna...

Instead of a fail it,
it's gonna be a nailed it.

All right, let's get started on the house.

We got this.

Four of these guys for the walls.

They have a ton
of gingerbread house pieces...

the roof, the wall, the door, everything...
but no explanation.

So they have to really look at the model.

You will be your own architect, in a way.

Normally, with the music,
I bring down the house,

but this time I'm building the house up.

Nice little base. Make it sturdy.

They really are gonna have to be smart

-with all those different-sized pieces,
-Yes.

and figure out what's gonna go where

because you can't afford
to just start sticking

and gluing pieces together without a plan
because it's not gonna stay together.

Clean up the edges.

So this is coming really stable.

Alright.

[Smith] Let me build my house.

It's time to raise the roof.

Build it, build it, build it.

I'm normally doing cakes,
not cookies and gingerbreads.

Oh, y'all definitely have me
out of my element.

Oh, wow. She is just sticking pieces on,
not paying attention.

The royal icing is really hard
when it dries.

I'm using honey and peanut butter
to try to make the structure stick.

Peanut butter's
so much more sticky than icing,

and then I can save my icing for snow.

Let's hope to God this works.

Peanut butter. I could be inventing
a whole new thing right now.

I don't know
why she's using peanut butter.

Peanut butter is never gonna like dry.

Okay.

I think my evil plan has failed me.

[exhales]

This is not going well.

[sighs]

Help.

Panic!

Oh. Panic button!

Waylynn, get in there.

-Okay.
-I'm rolling my sleeves up.

What's happening?

Here's my question:
I used some stuff inside to reinforce it

and I don't quite know where to go
from there.

So part of the reason why your structure...

even though you have things
holding it together,

the inside is not
staying together very well...

is because you're using the peanut butter.

Peanut butter is useless.

Royal icing is a great idea.

When it dries and cools,

it's going to harden very, very easily.

Your biggest issue
that you're gonna wanna tackle

is making your structure level.

So you're gonna have a hard time
putting a roof on

because nothing is really matching up.

So I would try and get everything
sort of nice and even.

Panic's over. You're done!

I got this now.

Peanut butter maybe wasn't
the best idea to use.

But you know what? It's all about
moving forward, and I have the icing.

So that's what I'm going for now.

I really need to get cracking here.

Here we go.

I am working on the second level.

And let's try to get this roof
on top of this baby.

I don't think this is gonna work.

Oh, you know what?
I need to try this blast freeze.

Let's freeze it.

This'll help... this is gonna help me out.

This is going to help me out.

I really need it to stay.

Okay.

It looks like a mansion versus a house.

[Joelito] All right,
let's get some frosting on here.

Joelito. His is standing.

But it's a little short.
It's more of a gingerbread cabana.

Oh, it'll become a cabana from a chalet.
I get it.

I hope there's a pool in the back.

Right, so I'm gonna...

make these into sidings.

Over the top.

Make peanut butter fudge
for cobblestone wall.

Oh, wow. Okay.

I'm gonna combine the butter
and peanut butter in a glass bowl.

[Torres] What... what... what is that?

Maybe she's making
the peanut butter fudge?

Oh. Yeah, that's the fudge. Yeah.

I hope she remembers we'll be tasting it.

Betty Crocker, here I come.

Here I come.

I'm doing the peanut butter fudge
for the driveway.

So, powdered sugar...

Three cups.

[Torres] Uh-oh.
Did you see what's happened over there?

Joelito added granulated sugar
to his peanut butter fudge,

not powdered sugar.

Powdered sugar has smaller particles,

and that recipe gets blended better,

so it will be a little bit grainy.

That could be a problem.

Let's spread them out a little bit
so the chocolate chips are everywhere.

[Crocker] Stirring, stirring, stirring.

I don't eat a lot of fudge,

and I've never, ever made fudge,

so I don't know
what the consistency should be,

but I think this is okay, like...

I think that I just need to breathe.

Make peppermint bark pond.

So I need 12 ounces of white chocolate.

Oh, right, there goes my chocolate.

A half teaspoon of peppermint extract.

And a half a cup of peppermints crushed.

Oh. Okay.

I'm being crafty here.

[Joelito] Well, actually...

Wow, that's a lot harder.
Let me just put it in.

-I don't know what he's doing.
-He's just dumping something.

You don't need plastic in the mix.

There we go. Let's mix all this.

[Crocker] Spread chocolate
to create a pond.

One half cup of peppermints crushed.

How do you crush a peppermint?

That's gonna take all day.

You gotta be smarter than the peppermint.

Ha, look at that.

I prevailed.

I am smarter than the peppermint.

Guys, you have 15 minutes left.

You should be decorating,
making trees, making elves.

Let me start to put stuff together here.

Let me see.

Well, I don't have time for a wreath,

so we'll use this little baby here.

Tacky Christmas lights
on my gingerbread house.

[Joelito] Right,
so that's window number one.

Actually, let's just make
a bunch of windows.

Joelito, you still have
that three-minute phone call.

I think I got this.

So right now, I'm doing the walkway.

He did not seem like he had forgotten.
He did not seem like he cared.

Making that smooth.
Has the chocolate chip inside.

Oh, Joelito, Joelito.

Who do you think he'd call? Do you
think he'd call someone from the club

and be like ,"Yo girl,
I'm on a cooking show.

So like you said no last night,
but what about tonight, girl?"

[laughter]

Okay.

That's gonna be the tree.

[Joelito] I wanna make at least one elf.

That's the face so far.

All right.
Let's get some more snow up in here.

Oh, yeah.

She did melt some marshmallows
for the snow and the surface around,

which is really, really sticky

but should help adhere
her pieces together.

Oh, that's why.

Because she must use all her royal icing
to put together her house.

Thirty seconds left.

[Smith] Oh, my gosh!

We have to have gifts everywhere.

Let's see.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's all about keeping
your head on straight.

This is Volume Two.

Christmas blizzard remix.

[Smith] That's gonna have to be
good enough.

Five, four,

three, two,

-one!
-[alarm sounds]

You're done!

Woo!

Wheel us your gingerbread houses.

Okay, Knephaunatoria.

This is the amazing gingerbread house
you were trying to recreate.

-Let's see if you pulled it off.
-[drumroll]

-[fanfare]
-[Smith] Nailed it!

Yeah.

[laughter]

[Byer] I really like
your gingerbread house.

[Smith] You know, Christmas trees
come in every style nowadays,

and mine is a shark.

[Byer] I love that you have actual trees
but your Christmas tree is a shark.

I like how if you look really closely
at your...

elves,

there's little smiley faces.

[laughter]

This one's so upset.

That one's frowning and just mad.

[laughs]

You have a lot
of really cute, quaint details

that are classic things to include
on a gingerbread house,

-so for that, I applaud you.
-Thank you.

Your gingerbread house
is holding together,

which is not an easy thing

-in two and a half hours.
-Thank you.

Okay, Joelito.

Let's see what you did.

[drumroll]

[fanfare]

[Joelito] Nailed it.

[laughs]

Okay.

Your house is just ... it's one level.

It's like a bachelor pad cabana, kind of.

I tried to do siding
and then the elf right here.

It seems that your yard
is like a little haphazard.

Joelito, why didn't you use
your phone call today?

I knew what I needed
to kind of, like, put on there.

I just needed to do it
before the time ran out.

I don't think I needed the phone call.

You started out
with a really strong structure

I was so sad to see that you didn't get
that second level on there.

But, you know what?

You have a standing-up house,
you have the yard, you have, you know

a lot of the elements that we ask you for.

-So, congratulations.
-Thank you, thank you.

Okay, Erin. Let's see what you did.

[drumroll]

[fanfare]

[Crocker] Nailed it.

This is wild. [laughs]

I love it.

Truly, there's so many colors.

The marshmallows,
are those Christmas lights?

They are, they're Christmas lights.

I wanted to do all the colors.

[Byer] I really like the colors.

I think you did a really fun job.

-The house is a little bit crooked, yes.
-Yeah.

Honestly, I think that you started wrong
with the peanut butter.

Peanut butter is not something
that will glue a gingerbread house.

I like the fact that you used
the melted marshmallows,

and it gives your snow a sort of sheen
and sparkle like real snow has.

Even your sort of peppermint bark pond
there for ice skating

has like a sort of glittery,
icy sheen to it.

So I applaud the creativity.

to get it done how you did.

Thank you.

Okay, we've seen three amazing houses.

And while we all know
what gingerbread cookies taste like,

we still want to eat your peppermint ponds
and peanut butter fudge walkways.

So please cut us a piece and bring it
to the table and we'll taste it.

Okay, Knephaunatoria.

[laughter]

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

It scared me.

Hmm.

Knephaunatoria, I really like the bark,
the peppermint bark.

It's good. You put enough
peppermints in there.

The flavor of what you did is really good.

Thank you.

Your peppermint bark had

just the perfect amount of peppermint.

Your peanut butter fudge,
it wasn't too sweet

but it had a good peanut butter flavor

and a nice really smooth,
creamy consistency and texture.

Your fudge is good, it was fudgy.

It was tasty, and I'm happy
with the things I put in my mouth.

Well, thank you.

All right Joelito, we saw your house.

Let's taste it.

Did you add something to the bark
other than the peppermint candy?

Just the peppermint as chunks.

Okay, so it's a lot of peppermint.

It was ooh!

It was like duh!

-[laughs]
-Woo!

You're like, "Wow, okay! I'm ready!"

No man has ever woke me up
like that before.

Joelito.

Has a extra kick in it, you know.

[Byer] Oh, man yeah. Oof!

-Ooh! Ooh!
-[laughter]

Mmm.

Your peanut butter fudge

was really, really sweet
and really, really gritty.

You used granulated sugar.
Certainly not powdered sugar.

It really sort of felt like you were
almost kind of chewing on sand there.

Let's taste Erin's.

The fudge, I like it.

It's good, it's smooth,
it's good flavor, it's not too sweet.

I like the fudge.

I also like the fudge. I thought the fudge
was good, it wasn't overly sweet.

The bark, unfortunately for me,
had no bark.

I enjoyed that powerful ride, ooh,
that Joelito brought me on.

Oh, Lord.

[Lucas] Just needed more
of peppermint flavor.

However, your peanut butter fudge
was delicious.

I could go back and keep eating that,
and keep eating that all day long.

Thank you.

Only one of you can win
the $10,000 grand prize

and the soon to be collectible
Nailed It trophy,

which is...

Oh.

-Happy Holidays, Wes.
-Happy Holidays.

Thank you so much.

Oh. Your Santa hat.

This is the moment
we have all been waiting for.

Knephaunatoria, you're the winner
of the $10,000 dollars!

Hit her with that cash, Waylynn!

Yeah!

Oh, Congratulations!

$10,000 dollars.

-That's awesome!
-Right?

Oh, my God, I cannot believe
I just won Nailed It.

I redeemed myself.

Winning this $10,000 dollars definitely

will help me to conquer one of my dreams
of opening a bakery.

Thank you for watching
this episode of Nailed It.

This is Netflix, keep watching,
they're all there.

Goodness, look at that.
