Nailed It! (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 6 - Howdy, Failure! - full transcript
A Western-themed round inspires deep-fried cowboy-duck doughnuts, a root beer-infused rodeo cake - and really bad flavors.
Howdy, folks, and welcome to Nailed It!,
the show that rides in
on a thoroughbred...
[horse neighs]
...but ends up leaving on a donkey.
[donkey brays]
Today, three amateur bakers will compete
to recreate some professional
Western-inspired desserts
in hopes of riding off into the sunset
with a saddle bag full
of 10,000 buckaroos!
Let's saddle up and meet our bakers!
Yeah, whoo!
My name is Jim Maxwell.
I live in Concord, California,
and I worked in the nuclear industry
for about 20 years.
My wife is named Margarita.
She has a sweet tooth.
If Rita says, you know,
"I want to have something sweet,"
I think, "Okay, cool!"
Okay!
[he laughs]
There it is.
My name is Inocente Freeman,
but everybody calls me Chimi.
I'm from Tacoma, Washington,
and I'm a college student.
Ohh,
why did it have the texture of a cracker?
My husband was a master-at-arms
in the Navy.
The other military spouses,
I think they must have went
to culinary school
and they're stingy with their recipes.
If I become a better baker,
then I won't need their recipes.
I will have my own.
My name is Mason Posch.
I'm from Austin, Texas,
and I'm a web developer.
That's vinegar.
I'm not quite sure why it's in there.
My entire master plan is Jacques will see
my untapped baking potential.
He'll decide to take me under his wing.
I'll be his apprentice.
And then maybe we'll have competing stores
across the street from each other.
You know, if I'm just, like,
spitting an idea out.
Howdy, y'all!
-Hi!
-Hey!
Today, we have a slew
of Western fun cooked up for you.
Do you think they can handle it, Jacques?
I don't know. I...
Let's see those city slicker.
[laughter]
This handsome cowboy next to me
is Adam Scott.
He's an actor. He's also a comedian.
-Like me?
-Maybe.
-[laughter]
-[Nicole] Okay.
Out the gate,
we got our Baker's Choice challenge.
Being a cowboy and a cook is dirty,
hard, hard work that makes you hungry.
So, let's see how good you guys clean up
and fill up when you make these...
...cowboy duck donuts! Yup!
In the corral is a cowboy and his heifer,
a cowgirl and her bison,
and a sheriff and his trusty steed.
Every pair is made
by mixing donut dough then frying,
then they're iced, decorated,
and placed
into a tub full of blue buttercream.
When I say "go,"
y'all are gonna run over there
and grab your favorite pair
of cowboy duck donuts!
Go!
That was very quick.
You guys really ran over there.
Adam, do you have any words
of encouragement?
I have a great feeling...
about all y'all.
Right? 'Cause it's like a cowboy theme.
-Yes.
-I'm using "y'all."
All right, bakers, you have...
Three-zero minutes.
That's half an hour.
Okay? So...
-[Nicole] Giddy-up! That means go!
-Oh.
-[Nicole] Now we sit down.
-[Adam] All right.
-Thirty minutes.
-Uh-huh.
All right. Here we go.
Gotta make the donuts first.
And I need some glitter,
because glitter's a...
Jacques, how would you go about making
these little rubber ducky donuts?
[Jacques]
First, they should make the dough,
and use the donut cutter
to form the donuts.
Next, fry the donuts
until golden brown.
Let them drain and cool.
Then mix your buttercream
and dip your donut in melted chocolate.
Finally, use modeling chocolate
to sculpt your duck head,
fill the bathtub with blue buttercream,
and add all the fondant detail
for a delicious cowboy duck donut.
There you go.
Make donuts.
One container of donut mix.
One container? This whole thing?
Measuring is not my strong suit.
I am not good with numbers.
Numbers confuse me.
But I am thinking that
I should follow the instructions
and be very, very focused.
Open.
Chimi, do you know
where your refrigerator is?
Huh?
Oh. Oh, sorry! I'm digging in your fridge.
-Get out of here!
-[laughing] Excuse me!
-[laughter]
-That was not there before!
They just put that there.
[they laugh]
One cup of milk.
My baking style is methodical.
I make sure
that I have all the ingredients ready.
I read carefully.
That's my strongest suit.
I need a pan.
A pan.
Huh?
[he sighs and gasps]
Being in the nuclear industry,
you have to really follow things exactly.
Press onto a floured surface,
and cut out donuts.
What does that mean?
Oh, this bowl won't come off.
I've always been
pretty good at a lot of things.
I've never been
really great at one thing.
As long as I can make something
that's edible,
I'll be perfectly happy.
I don't know if this is necessary, but...
I do it with other things I've baked
before, so I'll see if that works.
Let's cut out the donuts.
Dang, ten minutes has passed, you guys.
-[Nicole] 20 minutes left.
-Oh my gosh!
Cut out the donuts.
So, Chimi is using
her donut hole cutter.
That's actually smart, yeah.
There's one donut.
Yee-hee.
Uh...
Hey, Jacques,
I'm noticing that he's, like,
free-handing with a knife over there.
Freestyling.
[birds tweet]
Just a little bit...
A bit of a joke there, for everybody.
-I don't know if anyone heard me...
-[Nicole laughs]
They'll certainly be too big
and they'll be all over the place.
[Jim] Oh, this ain't gonna work.
What a mess!
Let's put these in the fryer.
I think they're ready to go.
Here we go.
Let's do this.
Oh, my God!
I wouldn't wanna taste this.
I'm just wondering how he should know
when the donuts...
Is it just by time?
When they are brown, they are ready.
Oh, gosh!
How do you know when they're done?
Hey, Mason, how's it going over there?
It's going pretty good.
Do you like burnt donuts
or undercooked donuts?
I'm just trying to prepare for the worst.
[she laughs]
[Jacques] The donut is coming out.
-Oh, no!
-[Nicole and Jacques] "Oh, no"?
[they laugh]
-"Oh, no!"
-What was the "Oh, no"?
[Jim] Smells terrible.
-That's gorgeous.
-[Nicole laughs]
Whoa! 14 minutes left.
No!
[Nicole] Chimi, are you okay?
I'm not even close to done.
Chimi, you're not close?
Well, you better get close.
You know what sounds good right now?
What? What sounds good now?
A chimichanga burrito.
-[Nicole] Do you want one?
-Yeah.
-[Nicole] Wes?
-[distant speech]
Adam wants a chimichanga burrito.
-Chimichanga burrito?
-[Adam] Yeah, is that possible?
-We can make that happen.
-Great. Thank you.
Thanks, Wes.
[she laughs]
[Chimi] Buttercream.
You ain't got time
for perfect measurements.
That looks about right.
And mix.
Whoa!
Oh, my goodness!
-This is really good.
-Mm-hmm.
-It's hot. I like spicy, but this is hot.
-[Nicole] That's too hot?
[Adam] If I decide to save this,
and put it in the Netflix break room,
do you think Lana Condor
is gonna come and eat it?
Probably.
[she giggles]
Delicious!
Thank you. Thank you, Wes.
No!
[slurping]
[slurping]
[Nicole] You wanna take this from me?
Okay.
Ooh,
it looks like Chimi has her buttercream.
Cover the top of the donut.
[ducks quack]
[Mason] I haven't decided really
which one's gonna be which yet.
It says "Put melted chocolate on it,"
but I think I'm gonna use that.
[Jacques] Oh, my God! The other two
forget to make the buttercream.
-They forgot about the buttercream?
-Mm-hmm.
[Adam laughs]
This donut, all coated up.
I am pulling for Chimi.
I think she's gonna pull through,
and it's gonna be great.
I'm always rooting for a lady.
That's feminism.
-[Adam] Is that what feminism is?
-Mm-hmm.
It means "ladies rooting for ladies."
It also means pushing men down the stairs
and going, "I'm the boss now!"
-Wait a second.
-That's how I got this job.
They had hired a man.
-And he's dead.
-[dramatic music]
All right. I know what I need do.
Woo!
[Jacques]
Jim thinks that modeling chocolate
is actually some type of chocolate
to cover the donuts.
And he put the modeling chocolate
for over a minute in the microwave.
-That's not going to work.
-Let's find out!
[Jim] Oh!
Look at this mess.
Oh, my God! It's completely liquid.
His modeling chocolate
is completely liquid.
-Oh, no!
-[Nicole] No!
It looks like
some science fiction alien goo.
-I don't know what he's...
-Yuck! It's... Ugh.
[Jim] Good Lord!
Man!
This modeling chocolate is here.
We'll get ready for the bodies.
Just looks like two balls
with a little neck.
[Chimi] That looks like a nice duck head.
Sit right there, little ducky.
Five minutes!
That looks like a duck.
Good Lord!
Okay. Looks kinda greasy to me.
Jim, are you toweling off that chocolate?
Yeah.
I can't wait to see that up close.
Well, this is going swimmingly.
[she laughs]
I didn't realize how much clothes
they were actually wearing.
Mason has put a hat on his guy.
He's... really killing it.
He killed the duck?
"Killing it."
It's a phrase. It's an American phrase.
Pinch a little more.
Oh, that's cute.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A minute and a half!
Oh, my gosh!
[Nicole] Oh, Chimi!
I don't know why I thought
it was gonna go nice and slow.
No, Chimi. Have you ever watched the show?
I watched almost every episode.
Thank you. Every stream counts.
[Adam laughs]
I forgot about the buttercream,
so I gotta improvise on that a little bit.
It's got no backbone.
[Nicole] Whoa!
Thirty seconds!
My water's dripping.
Nicole, do we actually have to eat
the donuts? Yeah?
-[Nicole] Yeah.
-Okay.
Don't drop it. Don't drop it.
Oh, no!
Five, four, three, two, one! You're done!
-[klaxon sounds]
-Yeah!
I'll do it all day long.
All right, Jim.
Let's remember the duck cowboy donut
you were trying to make.
Let's see what you made.
[Jim] Nailed it!
-[Nicole whimpers]
-[Adam and Jacques laugh]
[Nicole] Oh, boy, but this one
on the right looks like a turd.
It looks like a couple of weirdos
in a hot tub.
[Nicole laughs]
When I heard that
you have to take those showers
-because you get contaminated...
-Yes, sir.
-...right away I'm thinking
maybe you're going to have super powers.
Now I know that was not true.
-[Nicole squeals]
-You don't have super powers.
-No.
-Wow! You got roasted by Jacques Torres.
Let's just do this. Let's taste it.
Oh, my God.
[Adam] So, that's a lot
of modeling chocolate.
That might be the first time
that we cannot taste it.
Jim! Jim!
No, no, no!
I'm sorry.
[Nicole] I mean...
-What?
-You... You made this.
I personally made this with my own hands.
I keep saying that I've never had anything
like this in my mouth before,
-but you topped that today.
-Whoo-hoo!
-Did you guys spit it out?
-I did.
-Yes.
-Oh, my God. Why did I swallow it?
Thank you, Adam.
I appreciate you swallowing it.
Some people are dedicated
to finishing a job.
A lot of things happened.
We gotta go see more things.
-Au revoir.
-[Nicole] Au revoir, Jim.
Chimi, Chimi, Chimi,
Chimi, Chimi, Chimi, Chim!
Well, let's remember the cowboy duck
donuts you were trying to make.
Chimi, let's see what you did.
-[Chimi] Nailed it!
-[Adam and Jacques groan]
[Nicole laughs]
Ooh, I don't... Ooh.
Oh, my goodness.
It looks frightened, like he was captured
and then put right in there.
I think that the one on the right
looks like a donut
that's going as Batman for Halloween.
[laughter]
-Let's do it. Let's taste this.
-[Jacques] You completed it. Amazing!
I thought your donut was dry,
and then it had the chocolate frosting
on it or the melted chocolate,
and I thought that was nice.
So, you leave them
a little bit too long in the oil.
But you made the buttercream,
you have completed the task,
and the donuts are edible.
-Yay!
-Did you make the chocolate frosting?
-Uh, I melted it.
-[Adam] It was really good.
So what? It was good.
Cool, Chimi. What a treat.
Bye-bye.
-What up, Mason?
-Hey!
[Nicole] Let's remember the donuts
you were trying to make.
Let's see the donut you made.
-[Mason] Nailed it!
-[Adam] Whoa.
[Nicole coos]
-[Nicole] Wow!
-Whoa!
[Nicole laughs]
This is very fun to look at.
-What is it?
-[Mason] That's the cowboy duck.
-[Nicole] Oh.
-[Mason] That's a cow duck.
-Oh, that's a cow?
-[Mason] That's a cow.
It has a psychedelic feel to it.
-[Nicole] Mm-hmm.
-Now the cowboy one fell asleep.
All right, Mason. Let's have a taste.
[Nicole] Nom, nom, nom, nom!
[Jacques] Basically, you cooked
those donuts too much.
So, the outsides start to be very crunchy
and caramelized.
I kind of like that crunchiness and the...
-It's... Let's say it's pleasant.
-[Nicole] Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
Not exactly donut-y.
More like a dense, delicious cake.
But you didn't do your buttercream
-for the water, which was...
-No.
...a little disappointing.
Are you happy
that we didn't spit your food out?
Nothing in the world
could make me happier.
-Nothing?
-Nothing.
[Nicole] Wow!
Okay, bakers, let's gather up here
and see whose cowboy duck donuts
are best in show.
Ooh! Jacques?
One of you did something that had
all the parts that we asked you to make.
So, the winner is...
Chimi! Congratulations!
-[applause]
-Thank you!
[Nicole] Adam, tell Chimi what she's won!
You'll be known
as the Wyatt Earp of the kitchen
with your very own 11-piece cookware set.
[Nicole] Wow!
You are also the winner
of the esteemed Baker's Cap.
Wes! Put it in my hand!
Thank you.
Congratulations!
-Oh, my. Yes!
-I'm honored, thank you.
All right, gentlemen.
Let's head on over to Door Number Two.
Well, don't mind if I do!
This here is
our "Nail It or Fail It" challenge.
And it's your last chance to impress us.
Adam!
Tell them what they gotta do
-to make that happen.
-Okay.
You better hold on tight
or you'll get bucked off of this...
[Nicole] Mechanical bull rodeo cake!
-[they gasp]
-[cow moos]
[Jacques] This two-tier root beer cake
is covered in fondant.
The belt buckle is made out of
modeling chocolates.
And the bandanna pattern
is created with edible fabric.
The spring-action armature will hold
the modeling chocolate bull and cowboy.
This cake is a tough one,
but I got your back.
If you panic, hit the panic button,
and I will come out for three minutes
and give you a hand,
whatever you need.
Jim... Oh, boy.
We sent your donuts out to pasture.
Oh, Lord, we had to put 'em down.
Ooh, so, for this round,
you get an advantage button.
Press it, and your two opponents
have to stop baking and run over to
a cactus-roping station
where they'll have to successfully
lasso their cactus
before returning to work.
And I can't wait!
We're gonna give you 90 minutes
for this challenge.
-[Jacques] Go, go, go!
-[Nicole] Yeah, go.
Let's sit down.
Make the cake first, then the buttercream.
Make as much cake as you... Oh, gosh.
One container of cake mix.
That would help.
So, to make the cake,
first they mix their wet
and dry cake ingredients,
adding root beer extract for flavor.
Make the buttercream,
and then sculpt the bull and cowboy
out of modeling chocolate.
When the cakes are cool,
cover them with buttercream and fondant.
Stack the cakes,
and then add Western pattern
of edible fabric and fondant.
Finally, the mechanical bull
and cowboy are secured to the top,
and the finishing touches are added,
creating a root beer rodeo cake
that will make you say,
"Yee-haw!"
Ninety minutes is a short amount of time
for this...
project.
[he laughs]
I've probably made about
four cakes in my whole life.
I have very little confidence
about making cakes.
So, my strategy is to
make the cake batter as fast as I can,
so I can do my decorations.
Here we go.
Jacques, I know that this is
supposed to be like a root beer flavor.
How do you do that?
We have extract,
so they really need to use little.
Because that goes a long way.
One teaspoon of root beer flavor.
I'm terrible at measuring stuff.
[klaxon sounds]
Alright, I think I got everything.
Gonna do something I probably shouldn't do
and just eyeball it.
[klaxon sounds]
I don't think
I've ever had a root beer cake before.
This is so cool.
[bell dings]
[klaxon sounds]
Jim, my friend.
How are you doing?
I think I'm doing better.
Okay.
I learned my lessons
on the last one, so...
How many cakes are you making?
I'm making two.
Making the rubber duckies was a meltdown.
This is four cakes.
I think she doubled it.
And I'm thinking, okay,
I've got a chance to redeem myself.
Do you know what I really wanna do?
Bam! Lasso time.
Whoa!
Hey, y'all, it's a wild lasso rodeo!
[country music plays]
Wow, a fiddler! Wait, is that a fiddle?
Uh-oh, bakers,
pick up the lasso, and put on a hat.
I don't know how to find the beat.
Hold on. Am I on the rhythm?
-Yeah?
-I am?
I'm sorry I had to do it at this time,
but I think it's the best time to do it
if I really want to do well here,
because they're both really good bakers,
but that's gonna slow them down a bit.
[Chimi groans]
Okay.
-You're doing good.
-Thank you.
My husband taught me to lasso.
-This looks incredibly hard.
-[Jacques shouts]
Yes, he caught it!
Mason, you can go back.
[Jim] Cake's in the oven.
Alright.
Okay.
-Yeah!
-Yay!
-Chimi! Good!
-Nice!
Keep the hat.
See if that works.
Thank you, Mr. Fiddle Player.
[man] Yee-haw!
You go down there.
And you go right there.
[Mason] I'm gonna have to eyeball it
the entire time.
Now, it looks like Mason put
all four cakes into the oven.
He's the only one that has four going.
-[Jacques] So, yes. It's better.
-I can count. Not to brag.
I forgot about the buttercream last time.
Mason is not using measuring spoons.
He's just eyeballing everything.
That usually doesn't work.
[Mason] Probably way too much.
-Will that be white?
-Hi. Hey.
-Oh, hi!
-So sorry to interrupt,
I know you're in the middle of something.
-Oh, my gosh!
-[Nicole] Excuse me. Hey.
We're shooting a show, so...
-Hey, everyone. Hi.
-[Adam] Hey, Lana.
Who's that?
So, listen, I just wanted to say, like,
you know that communal refrigerator
we use?
-Oh, yeah, of course, the community...
-[Lana] Communal, yeah.
I had yogurt, and I put my name
"Lana Condor,
To All the Boys I Loved Before 2" on it,
-and I put it on the second shelf.
-Second shelf.
Right. So, it's not there. And I just...
-I'm not trying to point fingers...
-You're pointing your whole hand.
Uhh...
What about my yogurt?
You wanna 'fess up?
-[Lana] No?
-[Nicole giggles]
-You have enough dairy here on the show.
-Guys, before this goes too far,
I need to just jump in.
I ate your yogurt.
Okay. Well, listen, like, you are a guest.
-Now you know, right?
-Right.
Sorry about it.
-So glad that we cleared this up.
-Alright.
Bye!
So, does that happen
a lot around here, like,
Netflix people getting
all their food mixed up?
Yes. The worst is those
Orange Is the New Black girls.
Natasha Lyonne stabbed me.
What a bummer.
Just toast it up.
Get it nice and moldable.
I am working with black fondant for the...
for the bull.
I haven't heard the cameramen laugh,
so I must be doing well.
I'm using modeling chocolate
to get the cowboy started.
He's gonna have some wimpy little arms.
You guys, look what Mason's doing.
[Jacques] He do his bull and the cowboy,
everything in white.
When you have fondant,
you're better to do it different color.
So now he has to go back
and paint everything.
You cannot airbrush exactly.
Oh.
I'm making his horns.
Hopefully, they don't look too crazy.
They're looking crazy, though.
How's this thing look?
Well, not too bad.
I mean, it's pretty bad,
but it's not too bad.
[Nicole] You guys have 35 minutes. Wow!
Thanks, Nicole.
[Chimi] Oh. Ooh!
Oh.
I don't know. I'm not really sure
how I'm supposed to put this
through this without it crumbling.
And I think Jacques can tell me.
[klaxon sounds]
It's a panic!
[she screams]
Oh, no!
I do not know
how I'm gonna stick this
through there
without it crumbling or falling apart.
-[Nicole] I'm gonna walk around.
-Basically...
You put your second cake,
-you cover them with your buttercream.
-Yes.
And then you're going to screw the base.
-Okay.
-Okay?
My two friends have left me.
Oh, what do I want?
-What else do you need?
-Um, this red bandanna part,
I don't know how or what I would do.
Would you mind talking to me
while everyone's gone?
Where... Where are you from?
I'm from Los Angeles.
-From L.A.
-Yeah.
-What part of L.A.?
-Um, Glendale.
-One minute, everybody. One minute.
-What?
One minute on the Panic,
not on the whole thing.
Oh, Adam Scott is trying to make me panic.
Sorry.
[he grunts]
What part of Glendale?
You cover your cake with the red color,
and then you're going to put
-the decorating paper...
-[klaxon sounds]
...on top of it that you cut
with the X-ACTO knife.
-Okay.
-Good luck.
We lost Nicole. Where Nicole went?
Do you want me back?
This is not working.
I should have done this earlier.
Come on, baby.
I've got two cakes,
and it's a little small,
so I start to panic a little bit.
Come on. Come on.
[Chimi] Oh,
I don't think I made enough cake.
Oh, no. That is so lopsided.
Oh, surprisingly, that worked.
[Chimi] Oh, I see it.
Three and a half minutes.
Look at that!
Make sure we don't see too much
of the middle stand thingy.
Here's some hay.
Is that edible hay up there?
Um, it's... I call it edible hay,
but it... What is it called?
-But you just like eating hay.
-It's wheat.
[Chimi] This is working out wonderful.
Forty seconds!
[Jim] Last-minute decorations.
I'm gonna go for that rope
that's in between them really quick.
You didn't see that.
I take a piece of the edible paper.
I didn't spit. I licked.
It was a little stamp lick. I swear.
[all] Five!
Four! Three!
Two! One!
-[Adam and Jacques] You're done!
-[Nicole] You're done, partner!
[she sighs]
[Nicole laughs]
My friend Jim!
Let's remember the mechanical bull
rodeo cake you were trying to make
and let's see what you did, Jim!
[Jim] Nailed it!
-I love it!
-[Adam] Wow!
[Nicole]
This is so much better than Round One!
We got two tiers.
I know that's supposed to be a cow,
even though it looks like a soccer ball.
And then we got red with knives on it.
I know that's supposed to be paisley,
but it kinda looks like knives.
-The covering, the stand, looks turd-ish.
-[laughter]
-That's not where I wanted to go.
-Do you use any modeling chocolates
or do you use all fondant?
It's all fondants on this one.
Yeah, the modeling chocolate
from the previous, it just threw me off.
[Nicole] I can't wait to taste it.
But not yet, we got more cakes to see.
Bye, Jim!
Bye!
-Chimi!
-Hello!
Let's see what you did.
[Chimi] Nailed it!
Yes!
-Oh!
-[Nicole] Yee-haw!
Oh, I love it! I love this!
[Adam] No hands!
[Nicole] I like his face.
The bull's head's a little tiny.
But, like, I'm okay with it.
I actually love that your cowboy has
one hand here, one hand here.
He's trying to get his balance.
This is terrific.
What looks like a series of turds
are perfectly placed.
-[Adam] Congratulations.
-Thank you.
We're done talking.
-[Chimi] Alright.
-Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
-Mason.
-Hey.
Let's see the mechanical bull rodeo cake
you made.
[Mason] Nailed it!
-Oh, boy.
-Whoa!
This is wild! I love it.
[Nicole] What's going on?
[laughs]
I do not mean to laugh.
Your bull has a tail like a dog?
[laughter]
You love tie-dye stuff.
Your person is kinda tie-dyed?
-[Mason] It is not on purpose.
-[Nicole] His arm is red!
It's always easier
to use modeling chocolate.
Use the black modeling chocolates
for black.
Use the blue one. Use the red one.
But painting everything is never clean.
It's never perfect.
I love that the Frosted Mini Wheats
as the hay
was not even fully broken apart,
so I can recognize
that it's Frosted Mini Wheats.
Ooh, what a treat! What a dream!
Please cut me a slice
of your mechanical bull rodeo cakes.
And me and my two friends
are gonna chomp, chomp, chomp!
Let's sit!
My cake doesn't look a whole lot like
the original one.
However, I think it's all
gonna come down to taste.
My cake tasted good to me,
so I'm feeling pretty good at this point.
Jim, let's taste your cake.
Jim, how did you attach
this little frost here on your cake?
I used a little saliva.
[screeching]
I'm so sorry.
-Wait! What?
-You did?
I was running out of time.
-I was so proud of you.
-Don't eat the red part.
The cake is safe.
A man spit on a cake and served it to me.
Did you lick any other part of the cake?
-No, sir.
-Okay.
I believe you.
[blows raspberry]
Wow!
-[Jacques laughs]
-I think I know what's wrong.
Okay. You tell us.
There's too much root beer in there.
-Yeah.
-And?
Saliva.
Any extract, use very little, because...
Oh, my God, this is so strong.
I feel like I just pounded
a 12-pack of root beer.
[laughter]
All right, Chimi-Chimi.
-Did you spit on this cake?
-I did not, no.
[Adam] Have you guys
gotten the root beer...
The flavor out of your mouth?
Me neither.
Well, you're gonna get more.
-[Nicole whoops]
-Oh, my goodness.
[Jacques laughs]
-[laughter]
-I followed the instructions!
Oh, boy. Could I get some water, please?
Thank you. Oh, thanks, Wes.
I read a "tablespoon."
It must have said "teaspoon."
[he exhales]
Uh...
-Wh...
-Uh...
[Jacques laughs]
Look...
-it's a mistake that anyone could make.
-[Nicole] Yeah. Truly.
Don't worry about it.
-Let's... Let's do this.
-Alright.
[Nicole] Mason.
Oh, that's a nice slice of cake.
[she murmurs]
[she giggles]
Oh, no. Great.
[Jacques laughs]
-It's in the buttercream.
-Yeah.
Wow.
-Did you get buttercream?
-Just eat the cake.
-[Adam] No, Jacques, you have to.
-I need you to have this much buttercream.
-[Nicole] I'm sorry I made you do that.
-Okay... Holy cow.
-[laughter]
-[Nicole] I just needed you...
-[laughter]
-[Jacques coughs]
-[Nicole] Oh, no!
-[Adam laughs]
I'm burping root beer now.
The buttercream kind of took over, and...
destroyed what was left of my taste buds.
Otherwise,
the work that you did with your cake
-is actually good.
-Thank you.
You impressed me. That's what you want to
do at the beginning.
You did with your cake. Thank you.
We tasted three cakes.
We've tasted a lot of root beer.
Judges, this is tougher
than catching a greased hog.
[pig squeals]
Ooh, where is that ranch hand
with the Nailed It! trophy?
Wes!
Oh, Wes!
[horse neighs]
[Nicole] Oh, boy, Wes. What a dang treat.
Can you gallop away?
Please.
-Oh, how sad that was.
-There it is.
But it really made me happy.
-Okay. Adam?
-Yeah.
You got them bucks loaded?
Yes.
Jacques, it's now time.
That was a very hard challenge.
None of the cake was really tasting good,
so, we based our decision
on the look of the cake.
So, the winner is...
Chimi!
-[applause and cheers]
-Yay!
-Congratulations, Chimi!
-Congratulations.
This win means so much to me.
This has made me feel like
I can do whatever I put my mind to.
And now that I have won this,
I think that the Navy wives
will show me a lot more respect now.
It's time to hit the hay
here at the Nailed It! ranch.
But before I go,
here's a little bit of advice.
Don't squat with your spurs on.
That could be painful.
[Jacques] Okay.
the show that rides in
on a thoroughbred...
[horse neighs]
...but ends up leaving on a donkey.
[donkey brays]
Today, three amateur bakers will compete
to recreate some professional
Western-inspired desserts
in hopes of riding off into the sunset
with a saddle bag full
of 10,000 buckaroos!
Let's saddle up and meet our bakers!
Yeah, whoo!
My name is Jim Maxwell.
I live in Concord, California,
and I worked in the nuclear industry
for about 20 years.
My wife is named Margarita.
She has a sweet tooth.
If Rita says, you know,
"I want to have something sweet,"
I think, "Okay, cool!"
Okay!
[he laughs]
There it is.
My name is Inocente Freeman,
but everybody calls me Chimi.
I'm from Tacoma, Washington,
and I'm a college student.
Ohh,
why did it have the texture of a cracker?
My husband was a master-at-arms
in the Navy.
The other military spouses,
I think they must have went
to culinary school
and they're stingy with their recipes.
If I become a better baker,
then I won't need their recipes.
I will have my own.
My name is Mason Posch.
I'm from Austin, Texas,
and I'm a web developer.
That's vinegar.
I'm not quite sure why it's in there.
My entire master plan is Jacques will see
my untapped baking potential.
He'll decide to take me under his wing.
I'll be his apprentice.
And then maybe we'll have competing stores
across the street from each other.
You know, if I'm just, like,
spitting an idea out.
Howdy, y'all!
-Hi!
-Hey!
Today, we have a slew
of Western fun cooked up for you.
Do you think they can handle it, Jacques?
I don't know. I...
Let's see those city slicker.
[laughter]
This handsome cowboy next to me
is Adam Scott.
He's an actor. He's also a comedian.
-Like me?
-Maybe.
-[laughter]
-[Nicole] Okay.
Out the gate,
we got our Baker's Choice challenge.
Being a cowboy and a cook is dirty,
hard, hard work that makes you hungry.
So, let's see how good you guys clean up
and fill up when you make these...
...cowboy duck donuts! Yup!
In the corral is a cowboy and his heifer,
a cowgirl and her bison,
and a sheriff and his trusty steed.
Every pair is made
by mixing donut dough then frying,
then they're iced, decorated,
and placed
into a tub full of blue buttercream.
When I say "go,"
y'all are gonna run over there
and grab your favorite pair
of cowboy duck donuts!
Go!
That was very quick.
You guys really ran over there.
Adam, do you have any words
of encouragement?
I have a great feeling...
about all y'all.
Right? 'Cause it's like a cowboy theme.
-Yes.
-I'm using "y'all."
All right, bakers, you have...
Three-zero minutes.
That's half an hour.
Okay? So...
-[Nicole] Giddy-up! That means go!
-Oh.
-[Nicole] Now we sit down.
-[Adam] All right.
-Thirty minutes.
-Uh-huh.
All right. Here we go.
Gotta make the donuts first.
And I need some glitter,
because glitter's a...
Jacques, how would you go about making
these little rubber ducky donuts?
[Jacques]
First, they should make the dough,
and use the donut cutter
to form the donuts.
Next, fry the donuts
until golden brown.
Let them drain and cool.
Then mix your buttercream
and dip your donut in melted chocolate.
Finally, use modeling chocolate
to sculpt your duck head,
fill the bathtub with blue buttercream,
and add all the fondant detail
for a delicious cowboy duck donut.
There you go.
Make donuts.
One container of donut mix.
One container? This whole thing?
Measuring is not my strong suit.
I am not good with numbers.
Numbers confuse me.
But I am thinking that
I should follow the instructions
and be very, very focused.
Open.
Chimi, do you know
where your refrigerator is?
Huh?
Oh. Oh, sorry! I'm digging in your fridge.
-Get out of here!
-[laughing] Excuse me!
-[laughter]
-That was not there before!
They just put that there.
[they laugh]
One cup of milk.
My baking style is methodical.
I make sure
that I have all the ingredients ready.
I read carefully.
That's my strongest suit.
I need a pan.
A pan.
Huh?
[he sighs and gasps]
Being in the nuclear industry,
you have to really follow things exactly.
Press onto a floured surface,
and cut out donuts.
What does that mean?
Oh, this bowl won't come off.
I've always been
pretty good at a lot of things.
I've never been
really great at one thing.
As long as I can make something
that's edible,
I'll be perfectly happy.
I don't know if this is necessary, but...
I do it with other things I've baked
before, so I'll see if that works.
Let's cut out the donuts.
Dang, ten minutes has passed, you guys.
-[Nicole] 20 minutes left.
-Oh my gosh!
Cut out the donuts.
So, Chimi is using
her donut hole cutter.
That's actually smart, yeah.
There's one donut.
Yee-hee.
Uh...
Hey, Jacques,
I'm noticing that he's, like,
free-handing with a knife over there.
Freestyling.
[birds tweet]
Just a little bit...
A bit of a joke there, for everybody.
-I don't know if anyone heard me...
-[Nicole laughs]
They'll certainly be too big
and they'll be all over the place.
[Jim] Oh, this ain't gonna work.
What a mess!
Let's put these in the fryer.
I think they're ready to go.
Here we go.
Let's do this.
Oh, my God!
I wouldn't wanna taste this.
I'm just wondering how he should know
when the donuts...
Is it just by time?
When they are brown, they are ready.
Oh, gosh!
How do you know when they're done?
Hey, Mason, how's it going over there?
It's going pretty good.
Do you like burnt donuts
or undercooked donuts?
I'm just trying to prepare for the worst.
[she laughs]
[Jacques] The donut is coming out.
-Oh, no!
-[Nicole and Jacques] "Oh, no"?
[they laugh]
-"Oh, no!"
-What was the "Oh, no"?
[Jim] Smells terrible.
-That's gorgeous.
-[Nicole laughs]
Whoa! 14 minutes left.
No!
[Nicole] Chimi, are you okay?
I'm not even close to done.
Chimi, you're not close?
Well, you better get close.
You know what sounds good right now?
What? What sounds good now?
A chimichanga burrito.
-[Nicole] Do you want one?
-Yeah.
-[Nicole] Wes?
-[distant speech]
Adam wants a chimichanga burrito.
-Chimichanga burrito?
-[Adam] Yeah, is that possible?
-We can make that happen.
-Great. Thank you.
Thanks, Wes.
[she laughs]
[Chimi] Buttercream.
You ain't got time
for perfect measurements.
That looks about right.
And mix.
Whoa!
Oh, my goodness!
-This is really good.
-Mm-hmm.
-It's hot. I like spicy, but this is hot.
-[Nicole] That's too hot?
[Adam] If I decide to save this,
and put it in the Netflix break room,
do you think Lana Condor
is gonna come and eat it?
Probably.
[she giggles]
Delicious!
Thank you. Thank you, Wes.
No!
[slurping]
[slurping]
[Nicole] You wanna take this from me?
Okay.
Ooh,
it looks like Chimi has her buttercream.
Cover the top of the donut.
[ducks quack]
[Mason] I haven't decided really
which one's gonna be which yet.
It says "Put melted chocolate on it,"
but I think I'm gonna use that.
[Jacques] Oh, my God! The other two
forget to make the buttercream.
-They forgot about the buttercream?
-Mm-hmm.
[Adam laughs]
This donut, all coated up.
I am pulling for Chimi.
I think she's gonna pull through,
and it's gonna be great.
I'm always rooting for a lady.
That's feminism.
-[Adam] Is that what feminism is?
-Mm-hmm.
It means "ladies rooting for ladies."
It also means pushing men down the stairs
and going, "I'm the boss now!"
-Wait a second.
-That's how I got this job.
They had hired a man.
-And he's dead.
-[dramatic music]
All right. I know what I need do.
Woo!
[Jacques]
Jim thinks that modeling chocolate
is actually some type of chocolate
to cover the donuts.
And he put the modeling chocolate
for over a minute in the microwave.
-That's not going to work.
-Let's find out!
[Jim] Oh!
Look at this mess.
Oh, my God! It's completely liquid.
His modeling chocolate
is completely liquid.
-Oh, no!
-[Nicole] No!
It looks like
some science fiction alien goo.
-I don't know what he's...
-Yuck! It's... Ugh.
[Jim] Good Lord!
Man!
This modeling chocolate is here.
We'll get ready for the bodies.
Just looks like two balls
with a little neck.
[Chimi] That looks like a nice duck head.
Sit right there, little ducky.
Five minutes!
That looks like a duck.
Good Lord!
Okay. Looks kinda greasy to me.
Jim, are you toweling off that chocolate?
Yeah.
I can't wait to see that up close.
Well, this is going swimmingly.
[she laughs]
I didn't realize how much clothes
they were actually wearing.
Mason has put a hat on his guy.
He's... really killing it.
He killed the duck?
"Killing it."
It's a phrase. It's an American phrase.
Pinch a little more.
Oh, that's cute.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A minute and a half!
Oh, my gosh!
[Nicole] Oh, Chimi!
I don't know why I thought
it was gonna go nice and slow.
No, Chimi. Have you ever watched the show?
I watched almost every episode.
Thank you. Every stream counts.
[Adam laughs]
I forgot about the buttercream,
so I gotta improvise on that a little bit.
It's got no backbone.
[Nicole] Whoa!
Thirty seconds!
My water's dripping.
Nicole, do we actually have to eat
the donuts? Yeah?
-[Nicole] Yeah.
-Okay.
Don't drop it. Don't drop it.
Oh, no!
Five, four, three, two, one! You're done!
-[klaxon sounds]
-Yeah!
I'll do it all day long.
All right, Jim.
Let's remember the duck cowboy donut
you were trying to make.
Let's see what you made.
[Jim] Nailed it!
-[Nicole whimpers]
-[Adam and Jacques laugh]
[Nicole] Oh, boy, but this one
on the right looks like a turd.
It looks like a couple of weirdos
in a hot tub.
[Nicole laughs]
When I heard that
you have to take those showers
-because you get contaminated...
-Yes, sir.
-...right away I'm thinking
maybe you're going to have super powers.
Now I know that was not true.
-[Nicole squeals]
-You don't have super powers.
-No.
-Wow! You got roasted by Jacques Torres.
Let's just do this. Let's taste it.
Oh, my God.
[Adam] So, that's a lot
of modeling chocolate.
That might be the first time
that we cannot taste it.
Jim! Jim!
No, no, no!
I'm sorry.
[Nicole] I mean...
-What?
-You... You made this.
I personally made this with my own hands.
I keep saying that I've never had anything
like this in my mouth before,
-but you topped that today.
-Whoo-hoo!
-Did you guys spit it out?
-I did.
-Yes.
-Oh, my God. Why did I swallow it?
Thank you, Adam.
I appreciate you swallowing it.
Some people are dedicated
to finishing a job.
A lot of things happened.
We gotta go see more things.
-Au revoir.
-[Nicole] Au revoir, Jim.
Chimi, Chimi, Chimi,
Chimi, Chimi, Chimi, Chim!
Well, let's remember the cowboy duck
donuts you were trying to make.
Chimi, let's see what you did.
-[Chimi] Nailed it!
-[Adam and Jacques groan]
[Nicole laughs]
Ooh, I don't... Ooh.
Oh, my goodness.
It looks frightened, like he was captured
and then put right in there.
I think that the one on the right
looks like a donut
that's going as Batman for Halloween.
[laughter]
-Let's do it. Let's taste this.
-[Jacques] You completed it. Amazing!
I thought your donut was dry,
and then it had the chocolate frosting
on it or the melted chocolate,
and I thought that was nice.
So, you leave them
a little bit too long in the oil.
But you made the buttercream,
you have completed the task,
and the donuts are edible.
-Yay!
-Did you make the chocolate frosting?
-Uh, I melted it.
-[Adam] It was really good.
So what? It was good.
Cool, Chimi. What a treat.
Bye-bye.
-What up, Mason?
-Hey!
[Nicole] Let's remember the donuts
you were trying to make.
Let's see the donut you made.
-[Mason] Nailed it!
-[Adam] Whoa.
[Nicole coos]
-[Nicole] Wow!
-Whoa!
[Nicole laughs]
This is very fun to look at.
-What is it?
-[Mason] That's the cowboy duck.
-[Nicole] Oh.
-[Mason] That's a cow duck.
-Oh, that's a cow?
-[Mason] That's a cow.
It has a psychedelic feel to it.
-[Nicole] Mm-hmm.
-Now the cowboy one fell asleep.
All right, Mason. Let's have a taste.
[Nicole] Nom, nom, nom, nom!
[Jacques] Basically, you cooked
those donuts too much.
So, the outsides start to be very crunchy
and caramelized.
I kind of like that crunchiness and the...
-It's... Let's say it's pleasant.
-[Nicole] Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
Not exactly donut-y.
More like a dense, delicious cake.
But you didn't do your buttercream
-for the water, which was...
-No.
...a little disappointing.
Are you happy
that we didn't spit your food out?
Nothing in the world
could make me happier.
-Nothing?
-Nothing.
[Nicole] Wow!
Okay, bakers, let's gather up here
and see whose cowboy duck donuts
are best in show.
Ooh! Jacques?
One of you did something that had
all the parts that we asked you to make.
So, the winner is...
Chimi! Congratulations!
-[applause]
-Thank you!
[Nicole] Adam, tell Chimi what she's won!
You'll be known
as the Wyatt Earp of the kitchen
with your very own 11-piece cookware set.
[Nicole] Wow!
You are also the winner
of the esteemed Baker's Cap.
Wes! Put it in my hand!
Thank you.
Congratulations!
-Oh, my. Yes!
-I'm honored, thank you.
All right, gentlemen.
Let's head on over to Door Number Two.
Well, don't mind if I do!
This here is
our "Nail It or Fail It" challenge.
And it's your last chance to impress us.
Adam!
Tell them what they gotta do
-to make that happen.
-Okay.
You better hold on tight
or you'll get bucked off of this...
[Nicole] Mechanical bull rodeo cake!
-[they gasp]
-[cow moos]
[Jacques] This two-tier root beer cake
is covered in fondant.
The belt buckle is made out of
modeling chocolates.
And the bandanna pattern
is created with edible fabric.
The spring-action armature will hold
the modeling chocolate bull and cowboy.
This cake is a tough one,
but I got your back.
If you panic, hit the panic button,
and I will come out for three minutes
and give you a hand,
whatever you need.
Jim... Oh, boy.
We sent your donuts out to pasture.
Oh, Lord, we had to put 'em down.
Ooh, so, for this round,
you get an advantage button.
Press it, and your two opponents
have to stop baking and run over to
a cactus-roping station
where they'll have to successfully
lasso their cactus
before returning to work.
And I can't wait!
We're gonna give you 90 minutes
for this challenge.
-[Jacques] Go, go, go!
-[Nicole] Yeah, go.
Let's sit down.
Make the cake first, then the buttercream.
Make as much cake as you... Oh, gosh.
One container of cake mix.
That would help.
So, to make the cake,
first they mix their wet
and dry cake ingredients,
adding root beer extract for flavor.
Make the buttercream,
and then sculpt the bull and cowboy
out of modeling chocolate.
When the cakes are cool,
cover them with buttercream and fondant.
Stack the cakes,
and then add Western pattern
of edible fabric and fondant.
Finally, the mechanical bull
and cowboy are secured to the top,
and the finishing touches are added,
creating a root beer rodeo cake
that will make you say,
"Yee-haw!"
Ninety minutes is a short amount of time
for this...
project.
[he laughs]
I've probably made about
four cakes in my whole life.
I have very little confidence
about making cakes.
So, my strategy is to
make the cake batter as fast as I can,
so I can do my decorations.
Here we go.
Jacques, I know that this is
supposed to be like a root beer flavor.
How do you do that?
We have extract,
so they really need to use little.
Because that goes a long way.
One teaspoon of root beer flavor.
I'm terrible at measuring stuff.
[klaxon sounds]
Alright, I think I got everything.
Gonna do something I probably shouldn't do
and just eyeball it.
[klaxon sounds]
I don't think
I've ever had a root beer cake before.
This is so cool.
[bell dings]
[klaxon sounds]
Jim, my friend.
How are you doing?
I think I'm doing better.
Okay.
I learned my lessons
on the last one, so...
How many cakes are you making?
I'm making two.
Making the rubber duckies was a meltdown.
This is four cakes.
I think she doubled it.
And I'm thinking, okay,
I've got a chance to redeem myself.
Do you know what I really wanna do?
Bam! Lasso time.
Whoa!
Hey, y'all, it's a wild lasso rodeo!
[country music plays]
Wow, a fiddler! Wait, is that a fiddle?
Uh-oh, bakers,
pick up the lasso, and put on a hat.
I don't know how to find the beat.
Hold on. Am I on the rhythm?
-Yeah?
-I am?
I'm sorry I had to do it at this time,
but I think it's the best time to do it
if I really want to do well here,
because they're both really good bakers,
but that's gonna slow them down a bit.
[Chimi groans]
Okay.
-You're doing good.
-Thank you.
My husband taught me to lasso.
-This looks incredibly hard.
-[Jacques shouts]
Yes, he caught it!
Mason, you can go back.
[Jim] Cake's in the oven.
Alright.
Okay.
-Yeah!
-Yay!
-Chimi! Good!
-Nice!
Keep the hat.
See if that works.
Thank you, Mr. Fiddle Player.
[man] Yee-haw!
You go down there.
And you go right there.
[Mason] I'm gonna have to eyeball it
the entire time.
Now, it looks like Mason put
all four cakes into the oven.
He's the only one that has four going.
-[Jacques] So, yes. It's better.
-I can count. Not to brag.
I forgot about the buttercream last time.
Mason is not using measuring spoons.
He's just eyeballing everything.
That usually doesn't work.
[Mason] Probably way too much.
-Will that be white?
-Hi. Hey.
-Oh, hi!
-So sorry to interrupt,
I know you're in the middle of something.
-Oh, my gosh!
-[Nicole] Excuse me. Hey.
We're shooting a show, so...
-Hey, everyone. Hi.
-[Adam] Hey, Lana.
Who's that?
So, listen, I just wanted to say, like,
you know that communal refrigerator
we use?
-Oh, yeah, of course, the community...
-[Lana] Communal, yeah.
I had yogurt, and I put my name
"Lana Condor,
To All the Boys I Loved Before 2" on it,
-and I put it on the second shelf.
-Second shelf.
Right. So, it's not there. And I just...
-I'm not trying to point fingers...
-You're pointing your whole hand.
Uhh...
What about my yogurt?
You wanna 'fess up?
-[Lana] No?
-[Nicole giggles]
-You have enough dairy here on the show.
-Guys, before this goes too far,
I need to just jump in.
I ate your yogurt.
Okay. Well, listen, like, you are a guest.
-Now you know, right?
-Right.
Sorry about it.
-So glad that we cleared this up.
-Alright.
Bye!
So, does that happen
a lot around here, like,
Netflix people getting
all their food mixed up?
Yes. The worst is those
Orange Is the New Black girls.
Natasha Lyonne stabbed me.
What a bummer.
Just toast it up.
Get it nice and moldable.
I am working with black fondant for the...
for the bull.
I haven't heard the cameramen laugh,
so I must be doing well.
I'm using modeling chocolate
to get the cowboy started.
He's gonna have some wimpy little arms.
You guys, look what Mason's doing.
[Jacques] He do his bull and the cowboy,
everything in white.
When you have fondant,
you're better to do it different color.
So now he has to go back
and paint everything.
You cannot airbrush exactly.
Oh.
I'm making his horns.
Hopefully, they don't look too crazy.
They're looking crazy, though.
How's this thing look?
Well, not too bad.
I mean, it's pretty bad,
but it's not too bad.
[Nicole] You guys have 35 minutes. Wow!
Thanks, Nicole.
[Chimi] Oh. Ooh!
Oh.
I don't know. I'm not really sure
how I'm supposed to put this
through this without it crumbling.
And I think Jacques can tell me.
[klaxon sounds]
It's a panic!
[she screams]
Oh, no!
I do not know
how I'm gonna stick this
through there
without it crumbling or falling apart.
-[Nicole] I'm gonna walk around.
-Basically...
You put your second cake,
-you cover them with your buttercream.
-Yes.
And then you're going to screw the base.
-Okay.
-Okay?
My two friends have left me.
Oh, what do I want?
-What else do you need?
-Um, this red bandanna part,
I don't know how or what I would do.
Would you mind talking to me
while everyone's gone?
Where... Where are you from?
I'm from Los Angeles.
-From L.A.
-Yeah.
-What part of L.A.?
-Um, Glendale.
-One minute, everybody. One minute.
-What?
One minute on the Panic,
not on the whole thing.
Oh, Adam Scott is trying to make me panic.
Sorry.
[he grunts]
What part of Glendale?
You cover your cake with the red color,
and then you're going to put
-the decorating paper...
-[klaxon sounds]
...on top of it that you cut
with the X-ACTO knife.
-Okay.
-Good luck.
We lost Nicole. Where Nicole went?
Do you want me back?
This is not working.
I should have done this earlier.
Come on, baby.
I've got two cakes,
and it's a little small,
so I start to panic a little bit.
Come on. Come on.
[Chimi] Oh,
I don't think I made enough cake.
Oh, no. That is so lopsided.
Oh, surprisingly, that worked.
[Chimi] Oh, I see it.
Three and a half minutes.
Look at that!
Make sure we don't see too much
of the middle stand thingy.
Here's some hay.
Is that edible hay up there?
Um, it's... I call it edible hay,
but it... What is it called?
-But you just like eating hay.
-It's wheat.
[Chimi] This is working out wonderful.
Forty seconds!
[Jim] Last-minute decorations.
I'm gonna go for that rope
that's in between them really quick.
You didn't see that.
I take a piece of the edible paper.
I didn't spit. I licked.
It was a little stamp lick. I swear.
[all] Five!
Four! Three!
Two! One!
-[Adam and Jacques] You're done!
-[Nicole] You're done, partner!
[she sighs]
[Nicole laughs]
My friend Jim!
Let's remember the mechanical bull
rodeo cake you were trying to make
and let's see what you did, Jim!
[Jim] Nailed it!
-I love it!
-[Adam] Wow!
[Nicole]
This is so much better than Round One!
We got two tiers.
I know that's supposed to be a cow,
even though it looks like a soccer ball.
And then we got red with knives on it.
I know that's supposed to be paisley,
but it kinda looks like knives.
-The covering, the stand, looks turd-ish.
-[laughter]
-That's not where I wanted to go.
-Do you use any modeling chocolates
or do you use all fondant?
It's all fondants on this one.
Yeah, the modeling chocolate
from the previous, it just threw me off.
[Nicole] I can't wait to taste it.
But not yet, we got more cakes to see.
Bye, Jim!
Bye!
-Chimi!
-Hello!
Let's see what you did.
[Chimi] Nailed it!
Yes!
-Oh!
-[Nicole] Yee-haw!
Oh, I love it! I love this!
[Adam] No hands!
[Nicole] I like his face.
The bull's head's a little tiny.
But, like, I'm okay with it.
I actually love that your cowboy has
one hand here, one hand here.
He's trying to get his balance.
This is terrific.
What looks like a series of turds
are perfectly placed.
-[Adam] Congratulations.
-Thank you.
We're done talking.
-[Chimi] Alright.
-Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
-Mason.
-Hey.
Let's see the mechanical bull rodeo cake
you made.
[Mason] Nailed it!
-Oh, boy.
-Whoa!
This is wild! I love it.
[Nicole] What's going on?
[laughs]
I do not mean to laugh.
Your bull has a tail like a dog?
[laughter]
You love tie-dye stuff.
Your person is kinda tie-dyed?
-[Mason] It is not on purpose.
-[Nicole] His arm is red!
It's always easier
to use modeling chocolate.
Use the black modeling chocolates
for black.
Use the blue one. Use the red one.
But painting everything is never clean.
It's never perfect.
I love that the Frosted Mini Wheats
as the hay
was not even fully broken apart,
so I can recognize
that it's Frosted Mini Wheats.
Ooh, what a treat! What a dream!
Please cut me a slice
of your mechanical bull rodeo cakes.
And me and my two friends
are gonna chomp, chomp, chomp!
Let's sit!
My cake doesn't look a whole lot like
the original one.
However, I think it's all
gonna come down to taste.
My cake tasted good to me,
so I'm feeling pretty good at this point.
Jim, let's taste your cake.
Jim, how did you attach
this little frost here on your cake?
I used a little saliva.
[screeching]
I'm so sorry.
-Wait! What?
-You did?
I was running out of time.
-I was so proud of you.
-Don't eat the red part.
The cake is safe.
A man spit on a cake and served it to me.
Did you lick any other part of the cake?
-No, sir.
-Okay.
I believe you.
[blows raspberry]
Wow!
-[Jacques laughs]
-I think I know what's wrong.
Okay. You tell us.
There's too much root beer in there.
-Yeah.
-And?
Saliva.
Any extract, use very little, because...
Oh, my God, this is so strong.
I feel like I just pounded
a 12-pack of root beer.
[laughter]
All right, Chimi-Chimi.
-Did you spit on this cake?
-I did not, no.
[Adam] Have you guys
gotten the root beer...
The flavor out of your mouth?
Me neither.
Well, you're gonna get more.
-[Nicole whoops]
-Oh, my goodness.
[Jacques laughs]
-[laughter]
-I followed the instructions!
Oh, boy. Could I get some water, please?
Thank you. Oh, thanks, Wes.
I read a "tablespoon."
It must have said "teaspoon."
[he exhales]
Uh...
-Wh...
-Uh...
[Jacques laughs]
Look...
-it's a mistake that anyone could make.
-[Nicole] Yeah. Truly.
Don't worry about it.
-Let's... Let's do this.
-Alright.
[Nicole] Mason.
Oh, that's a nice slice of cake.
[she murmurs]
[she giggles]
Oh, no. Great.
[Jacques laughs]
-It's in the buttercream.
-Yeah.
Wow.
-Did you get buttercream?
-Just eat the cake.
-[Adam] No, Jacques, you have to.
-I need you to have this much buttercream.
-[Nicole] I'm sorry I made you do that.
-Okay... Holy cow.
-[laughter]
-[Nicole] I just needed you...
-[laughter]
-[Jacques coughs]
-[Nicole] Oh, no!
-[Adam laughs]
I'm burping root beer now.
The buttercream kind of took over, and...
destroyed what was left of my taste buds.
Otherwise,
the work that you did with your cake
-is actually good.
-Thank you.
You impressed me. That's what you want to
do at the beginning.
You did with your cake. Thank you.
We tasted three cakes.
We've tasted a lot of root beer.
Judges, this is tougher
than catching a greased hog.
[pig squeals]
Ooh, where is that ranch hand
with the Nailed It! trophy?
Wes!
Oh, Wes!
[horse neighs]
[Nicole] Oh, boy, Wes. What a dang treat.
Can you gallop away?
Please.
-Oh, how sad that was.
-There it is.
But it really made me happy.
-Okay. Adam?
-Yeah.
You got them bucks loaded?
Yes.
Jacques, it's now time.
That was a very hard challenge.
None of the cake was really tasting good,
so, we based our decision
on the look of the cake.
So, the winner is...
Chimi!
-[applause and cheers]
-Yay!
-Congratulations, Chimi!
-Congratulations.
This win means so much to me.
This has made me feel like
I can do whatever I put my mind to.
And now that I have won this,
I think that the Navy wives
will show me a lot more respect now.
It's time to hit the hay
here at the Nailed It! ranch.
But before I go,
here's a little bit of advice.
Don't squat with your spurs on.
That could be painful.
[Jacques] Okay.
