Nailed It! Mexico (2019–2021): Season 1, Episode 6 - Fails from the Crypt - full transcript
For once, the horror begins before the cooking starts. To impress the Willy Wonka of Mexico, the bakers sculpt scary monsters, including a Chupacabra.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Today, we have a spooky,
yet super fun episode.
Welcome to Nailed it! Mexico,
where it's the thought that counts.
This show starts with competitors trying
to make something cute and sweet,
but ends with something terrifying.
Today, we have three bakers
who are hoping to break
their bad luck with baking
because only one can win $200,000.
Let's meet the bakers.
IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.
Hello, my name is Ana Belém.
I am from Guadalajara, Jalisco.
I'm a beauty blogger and business coach.
I'm really inspired by French baking.
I'm dying to be able to make
a macaron one day.
They don't look that great,
but they are good
because I already ate two.
I already see myself in Paris
saying, "Oui, merci, Paris. I nailed it."
I'm Ricardo. I'm 25 years old.
I'm from Melchor Ocampo, Mexico.
I only bake for special occasions,
like my mom's birthday.
Come on.
My mom is the best.
I got kidney disease,
and my mom was my donor.
She was able to give me life
a second time.
I'm participating my mom saying,
"That's my son and my kidney."
Hello, I'm Carlos, and I'm from Puebla.
I'm an architect. My experience could
help me a lot
because architecture and cuisine
are very similar.
I'll let you see how it comes out.
My most embarrassing moment was
when my kids asked me for a cake.
These are my children,
Carlos Andre and Angel Santiago.
I'd love to be able to go back home
and tell my kids
"I nailed it!"
Welcome, bakers.
Before we start, I'd like to introduce you
to the Fondant Lady, Anna Ruiz.
Hi, guys.
We also have Mexican Willy Wonka,
José Ramón Castillo.
I have seen Chef José Ramon on TV.
I've seen his chocolate masterpieces.
We'll have to do something with chocolate.
Today, we'll have some fun
with frightening and scary folklore.
SWEET POSSIBILITIES
We've looked for some scary legends
that will make your hair stand on end.
Please don't get scared
when you see our next challenge.
The horror stories!
Here we have "La Llorona."
Be careful.
She lurks around rivers.
We also have here the "Chupacabra."
And no less terrifying, "El Coco."
This challenge is visual.
Completely made of chocolate.
They are all prepared
with cocoa butter paint.
See which one you like,
which one will be the easiest to make.
And when I say "run"...
Wait.
-Did you hear that?
-No, nothing.
-Did you hear that?
-Yes.
Did you hear it?
What?
Run!
La Llorona.
You have one hour.
One hour.
To the kitchen, bakers!
I'm winning, as always.
From what I understood, we're not going
to try their cakes.
-No.
-No, they're sculptures.
-There's no cooking.
-No.
They need to be detailed. They need
to look good and be scary.
To make your monster, first, you need
to paint the background with cocoa butter.
Then, put a block of chocolate
in the base of the structure.
Using modeling chocolate,
make the monster's body.
Next, use the fondant tools to work
on the face, body and clothing details.
After that,
paint the details on the figure.
Finally, paint the background using
different colored cocoa butter.
First, I am going to work on the shadows,
so that it has some sheen
at the end and it stands out.
Charlie's like a samurai right now.
Look at how he paints, like an architect.
Very detailed.
Order, order first and foremost.
This is makeup.
I am a beauty blogger.
It's one of my passions.
Makeup, beauty...
I think that with this experience
I'll have a little bit of an advantage.
I hope it's good.
♪ Makeup ♪
Tree.
Stay calm, Ricardo.
Winning like always. Winning, winning!
Look at him again. Always winning.
Super winning.
Instead of a paintbrush, he's using
a spoon to paint.
It's a very abstract tree.
-He's just like Bob Ross.
-Yes.
-Here we have a tree.
-A happy tree.
Someone could say that this is
from your baby's dirty diaper.
But no, ladies and gentlemen,
it's a tree.
I know that mine will surprise them.
I'm very abstract.
I'm a Renaissance artist.
I see it. I see it through art.
This is how I justify my lack of talent.
Super winning.
The door goes afterwards.
2. SHAPE THE CHOCOLATE BASE.
This is very difficult.
It's upside down.
Upside down.
It's falling apart.
Now he wants to melt the chocolate.
Sometimes you put a little bit
in the microwave,
and the excess heat melts it.
I'm not strong enough.
Why, God? Why am I so weak?
The bottom of the block melted,
but not the top.
So I said, "Ricardo, improvise!"
The blowtorch.
He's going to burn everything.
You have to be delicate.
He's the only one using the blowtorch.
If the chocolate's temperature
is above 122 degrees,
it releases the cocoa butter,
and nothing will stick.
-And you can't save it?
-No.
I'm going to leave it
because I burned the base.
I started to hit it and it broke,
so I thought, "Perfect. It's two rocks.
And that's how I made the bridge
for my river."
This really looks like poop, but it's not.
Forty-five minutes left!
I never knew about modeling chocolate.
It's awesome!
Playing with clay with my kids...
we do a lot of shaping.
I'm winning for myself
and to be an example for my kids.
If my dad can do it, so can I.
Boss, how are you?
The chupacabra is not Casper.
I'm not done.
The hardest part for me were the details
of the hair, the spines on his back.
I'm going to put it in the fridge.
Let's see. No. I know you need more body.
This is the first time that I've worked
with modeling chocolate.
At first I thought, "It's like clay."
Oh, my God. When I started, it was so
annoying to shape,
and my hands are this small.
Look at what I'm going to do.
When I got to the head, I said, "I'm not
going to waste time."
A lime. One more twist. Come on!
Come on. What's wrong?
I think at some point,
it will fall because it's too heavy.
Even if it's too big or looks like
an alien, it's a head.
It has a big nose.
How much time is left?
Twenty minutes.
Now I am going to place the base.
-How are you? What's up?
-Very good. And you?
I'm here making something abstract,
something beautiful.
Looking for a nut.
Can you help me find it since you're
already here, please?
You look for it. You can do two things
at once, right?
Here it is. Winning as always.
What would your mom say if she saw you
so stressed?
"Oh, my son, you're clumsy as always."
I have a really, really strong bond
with my mom.
After what she did, which was give me
the opportunity to live...
everything I do, all that I achieve,
is for and thanks to my mom.
It's good. I made it.
-Careful with the torch.
-Mom, I'm winning as always.
I'm going to start with the main shape
to give it some biceps and everything,
so that the monster
looks like it loves pain.
Carlos' vision is very clear.
It's standing straight up and not moving.
Of the three of them, he's the best
at copying the example.
Here we go.
Did your parents tell you scary stories
when you were kids?
Mine told "El Coco."
It didn't scare me because when my mom
would say, "Here comes El Coco,"
I would imagine a coconut.
A hairy coconut.
For as scared as it made me,
I would think,
"I want to eat it or add chili to it
or put a straw in it.
Beautiful bakers,
you only have ten minutes left!
Come on, Carlos! Time's running out!
He's wasting a lot of time.
I was really worried about
my chocolate base.
I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds
and nothing happened.
It gives it volume, and then I'll cover it
with chocolate.
I've never used it before, but it's great.
It gives it volume and then I'll cover it
with chocolate.
I think it'll work in the short time
I have left.
Friends, when you don't have time...
it's a reggae llorona.
Here's the first braid.
Does she have hands? Yes, she does.
This lady had big hands.
No, better here.
A little ball.
This is the baby.
The baby's head.
How are we doing?
Oh, no, the bed!
The little blanket.
Let's paint it green
so that it matches.
One minute left.
Shut up!
The chocolate is my friend.
It's not my enemy.
No!
Winning as always, friends.
Bakers!
Lift up your screens!
I'm coming.
No.
Think! Add another.
Oh, my God, it's so ugly.
Five!
Four!
Three!
My hat!
Two!
One!
You're done!
Don't you monsters move.
Ricardo!
What's up?
Will it scare us or make us laugh?
Define "scare."
Or make us sad?
Sad and scared.
This is the character
that you tried to make.
Let's see it, Ricardo.
Nailed it!
The original Llorona is chasing her kids
or someone,
and this one is standing up, like on acid.
She's very vintage, right?
-Very vintage.
-Very vintage.
The paint adds some artistic touches.
I like oil on canvas. This is chocolate
on wood, a new technique.
Here, we have her dress.
It's designer, very expensive.
This is a cat. You know why.
She hides in the trees.
She has claws,
like meow you know like...
What trip is this guy on?
What's going on with the chocolate?
These are rocks.
I assume she's in a field of agave.
-Distilling love.
-Distilling love.
There's no need to try it
because it's made out of chocolate.
So we're just going to rate it
on what we see.
-Thank you.
-Winning as always.
We've made it to France.
Oui oui.
Now we are looking at the Coco that you
had to recreate.
We want to see your creation!
Nailed it!
On my...no way...
Everything's there.
Take a good look.
It has a lot of style.
This is a somewhere between Coco
and an ogre.
The head is definitely a coconut.
The head miraculously didn't fall
because it's very heavy.
I pushed really hard.
Yeah, I saw.
I think...
you really showed off your makeup skills,
but your Coco is the worst thing we've
seen on this show.
It's like a melted plastic bottle.
The details on the bed are crooked,
but good.
The figure is a little weird.
I don't see any part of the leg or knee,
none of the details we asked for.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
How are you, Carlos the architect?
We are looking at the chupacabra that you
had to make.
Let's see what you were able to do.
Nailed it!
At first glance, they look very similar.
The subtleties, the different greens,
the chocolate rocks you were able to do,
where it's standing ready to scream.
Who knows how it sounds?
It sounds like a dolphin.
Can you hide behind the chupacabra
so we can get the full effect?
Yeah.
Awesome.
I like the colors. I think you're missing
a little blue to give it some depth.
Regarding the figure,
its position is pretty good.
I'm curious to hear how you made the base.
Puffed rice.
I worked it like it was dirt.
Then, I covered it in chocolate.
You should have covered it
because it looks like you didn't finish.
-Great job. Congrats!
-Thanks.
Bakers, please come here to the front.
Ana, please tell us who made the most
terrifying monster.
The winner of the first round is...
You, Carlos!
Wow, I can't believe it.
I'm so incredibly happy.
Congrats, Carlos!
-You have won a special...
-Mixer!
So now you can cook your recipes just
like a professional.
And that's not all.
You also won the lucky golden cap
with its Paulina Rubio sequins.
But it's going to mess up my hair.
A hand for Carlos and the first round.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
The horror continues,
and the second round is even harder.
The winner of the second round
will receive $200,000.
-Ready?
-Yes.
NAIL IT OR FAIL IT
Bakers, behind this door,
there's something we can find inside
all of us.
José, will you do me the honor
of presenting Nail It or Fail It?
For this challenge,
you have to have a lot of heart
because, unfortunately, our friend
behind this door no longer has one.
Ready to sculpt?
La Parca!
The bony one.
The skull.
Absolutely everything,
from his hat to his tie,
the bust is made out of cake
with fondant details.
The face is made of chocolate
with glow in the dark paint.
His hat is made of puffed rice
and is covered with fondant flowers.
Worried about surviving this challenge?
Don't. We'll lend you a hand
with our help button.
You can summon either José or myself,
from under the grave,
to come help you for three minutes.
Keep in mind that you can only use
the button once.
My darling Ana Belém,
you weren't the worst. I don't like that.
You were the least good.
We're also going to give you
the cursed button.
When the spirit moves you,
smack the button
and a three-minute curse
will disrupt your opponents.
During which time, they will be frozen.
Awesome.
You only have two hours
for this masterpiece.
Ready?
-Ready.
-Yes.
To the kitchen, bakers!
I need flour, four eggs, melted butter...
Melted butter.
In the second round,
I said, "Virgin Mary, remember Ana Belém,
keep your composure. React accordingly.
Run. Do everything you have to do."
Pastry Lady,
what's the recipe for this wonderful cake?
First, bake all of the cakes
that will be used in the bust.
Stack the cakes for the structure
and carve the shoulders.
Cover your cake with black fondant.
Put the head on the structure.
And now you can sculpt the face
and the bones of the skull
with white modeling chocolate.
Use white fondant for the shirt
and an edible sugar leaf for the tie.
Don't forget to use
glow in the dark paint on the skull.
For the hat, cover it with puffed rice.
Then cover it with black fondant.
Cut flower petals and edible leaves
to decorate the hat.
Turn off the lights
and enjoy your skull.
Butter.
I never imagined myself making
something like this. It's very complex.
When I look at all the ingredients
I need to use,
it's something new for me,
but I know I can do it. Yes, I can.
I need more milk.
A cup of milk.
I need two cups of milk.
What's this?
One, two. There are two here.
She added too much milk to the batter.
I doubt it'll come out good.
When you have a lot of milk,
it takes a long time to bake.
Carlos, how far along are you?
I'm concentrating.
I'll add coffee flavor to the chocolate.
Our tradition for Day of the Dead is
to drink coffee
while we hold a vigil
for our deceased loved ones.
This is a tribute to those
who are no longer with us.
We're done mixing those two.
We're going to put them in the oven.
Ah! I burned myself!
I just can't use a stove.
Stoves and I have a pact
to be lifelong enemies.
I can burn myself on any stove, my stove,
the Nailed It stove, any one.
I thought it was me, but no,
it's surely the stove's fault.
Molding the head is new to me.
However, I was able to relax,
and I started to imagine
that I was molding something with my kids.
Why did they all start up there? They're
going to have a line there.
-Like mine.
-Exactly.
They have to press hard
so they can't be seen.
And smooth it all out.
I have another, more advanced technique
to share:
chocolate skin grafts.
Who are you talking so much to?
To the camera.
It looks like you're teaching a class.
Yes, I am.
I have an audience who wants
to know what this crazy guy is up to.
He's smoothing it out
with the fondant smoother.
It's like the iron that boxers use
to reduce swelling after they get hit.
Here I am. Winning as always.
I'm going to start making the hat.
I thought, what should I do?
I have puffed rice. What should I do?
I should fill it up. I have no idea.
I don't get why she's trying to fill
that part of the hat
when she had do to the outside.
All she really had to do was stretch
and cover it.
It's like if you wear a nice blazer
to a wedding
and have body paint underneath it.
Why?
I think they're farther along.
I'm doing everything wrong!
-Why?
-I've been putting this inside.
-Now she's realized it.
-She's copying Carlos now.
I spent 30 minutes really working it.
Bakers, you only have one hour left.
It's uncooked.
As soon as I saw
that my cakes weren't ready,
that other thing is turning brown,
that the others were cooling their cakes,
but not mine, I was going to faint.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
My cake isn't ready...
It's... I think...
Be careful.
It's clean. It's done.
Okay, that's it.
And now?
The fondant?
First, knead it over here.
There's too much cornflour.
Measure out the dimensions of the torso.
Knead it with the rolling pin
and add a little cornflour.
Don't flip it like a tortilla.
It's very difficult to follow what
the chef is saying.
She's a turbo chef.
It needs a layer of icing. There too.
Fill and sculpt it.
Something's missing.
You can make the hat in two parts.
There's too much flour to knead it.
You have to stack the cake.
-Really?
-Filling...
Work it with the rolling pin.
This is royal icing.
-Time's up.
-Thank you.
Bye.
Oh, my gosh.
I think Ricardo did some research
and found out that I like tres leches
and decided to change his point of attack.
To buy off the judge.
Fork.
Where is it? Here it is.
I have another trick. Always.
I always have the answer.
He talks a lot.
If this show weren't called Nailed It,
but Talk It, he would win.
I'm going to produce his show
Interesting tips.
Very important. Friends at home.
It shouldn't be dry.
How am I going to save my dry cake?
With tres leches. Super basic.
Milk, evaporated milk, condensed.
That gives it a smooth texture.
Interesting tips.
How are things, Carlos?
Good.
-Have you ever made cakes for your kids?
-Yes, many times, but not as decorated.
I'm surprised to not see...
the head.
Oh.
It's getting plastic surgery.
Oh, okay.
It's getting a facial.
The cake stuck to the pan.
-What happened?
-My cake is stuck to the table.
So, work it out.
Take a chance, improvise.
It needs more volume!
So fix it.
I know what I'm going to do.
I'll use marshmallows.
Okay, that's one way.
One with a pretzel base,
so it sounds crunchy.
A crunchy cake?
To be honest, following the recipe exactly
isn't my thing.
I like to add my own touch.
To give it volume,
she's using marshmallows.
You're doing well, Ana Belém. Come on.
You only have 20 minutes left!
Now we're going to make the body
of the suit, like some raindrops.
We'll start on this side.
Here it is.
This part of the suit.
We'll do the shirt now.
I'm going to put this here.
I'm using icing as the glue.
Now, what I need is
my Lady Gaga hat. Good?
This is a mess.
Carlos and Ricardo are a lot more
delicate than Ana Belém.
She's gluing it like this.
I looked at my skull and thought,
"What do I need?"
Paint.
Once for Day of the Dead,
I did my makeup as a skull.
So I said, "Get inspired by that makeup."
What we're going to do is
make you look spectacular!
It looks like a mustache,
but that doesn't matter.
Here, fighting with the flower.
Looks nice.
Imperfections makes perfection and beauty.
When you paint, it doesn't have to be
perfect because we don't have lasers.
This really reminds me of my mom
and grandmother.
When they wanted to do something really
detailed like this,
they really struggled to do so.
Beautiful bakers, five minutes left.
Now, I'm adding the finishing touches.
I'm adding gum,
even though he shouldn't have many teeth,
but it doesn't matter because...
Now I'm going to feel like Ricardo.
Winning as always!
Pose.
Ana Belém,
Ricardo and Charlie!
Just two minutes left!
Don't forget the glow in the dark paint
for the eyes.
Oh, the eye flowers.
One minute, ladies and gentlemen!
Let's go!
Sixty seconds!
No! I forgot to freeze them.
Bakers, raise your screens!
I'm winning as always.
Hurry! Stick it on!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
You're done.
We're looking at the original skull
and cake that you had to make.
Ricardo, please show us your skull.
Nailed it!
My immediate reaction is...
I like the colors.
I would like for the eyes
to have more paint.
But it looks good.
The base looks nice.
The bottom is good.
The shape's not bad.
It's good. I like the pearls in the eyes.
The face is completely clean, very good.
But the suit is dirty.
His suit is dirty because he's dead.
This skull is old.
Lights, please.
The first spot that needs
to glow in the dark,
-you can see it there.
-There it is.
I like the pink toilet paper flower
in his hat.
It's a marigold. Very vintage.
Turn on the lights.
The lights!
Thank you.
The lights!
-Thanks and good luck.
-You're welcome. Thank you.
Ana Belém!
Yes!
Let's see how good it looks.
Nailed it!
I love the bow. It's well-made.
The paint is good.
-The molding looks really good.
-Thank you.
The body is out of proportion.
He's very square.
It needs to be more sculpted and defined
and then mounted.
But it looks quite nice.
You can see the eyes more here
than in the other cake.
The teeth are gum.
I love the gum. That's a great idea.
Ana Belém, you did great.
Thank you.
Charlie, can you show us your masterpiece?
It would be my pleasure.
Nailed it!
Charlie!
Charlie!
To start, I see that the bow is lower,
but it's well executed.
I love your flower.
But the detail that I like a lot here
is that nice touch, the painting.
I like it.
I liked the nose. You're the first one
to give it some real depth.
It really sticks out, the eyes, too.
You're missing the magical fluorescent
dust.
It's not in the center of the eyes?
-Did you add pink dust?
-Yes.
I think you mixed up the bottles, Carlos.
I think we need to try the three cakes
to make our decision.
Bring on the cakes!
Let's start with Ricardo.
I know that it's oral ecstasy.
The fondant layer's pretty good.
It's not too thick nor too thin.
It's good. The texture is very good.
It's a tres leches cake.
I don't taste the milk.
I like how it tasted more than
how it looked. I give the flavor an 8,3
and if you do this, I'll raise it to a 9.
Winning as always.
You got your points.
The cake is good. It's not dry.
It's tasty,
-but it's just cake.
-Okay.
Ana Belém from France.
If you win, you can go to the Eiffel Tower
and drink cafe au lait.
Thank you.
There's something gummy. What's this?
Mystery cake.
It's got marshmallows.
The flavor is sensual.
The texture is good.
It's a little dry for me.
The pretzels are innovative.
The cake and the pretzels surprised me
because I don't like pretzels,
but with the cake, it was quite good.
I agree with them.
The marshmallow-pretzel mixture
got you some points.
And now, our last participant.
The flavor is excellent.
It's a delicious explosion.
The more you eat it, the better it gets.
The texture is good.
-Does it have a coffee flavor?
-Yes.
I think it's a little dry for me.
23% soggy.
I'm quite the expert now.
So I can see.
This cake tastes very homemade.
Made by my mom, those types of things.
-The flavor is very good.
-Okay.
I want to congratulate the three of you.
The winner will receive $200,000
and the Nailed It! Mexico trophy.
Trophy!
-It's the...
-Skeleton.
Nailed it.
Thank you.
He's a Karate Kid skeleton.
Okay, we're ready to find out
who the winner is.
Please have the gun ready, José Ramon,
-and thanks for being here.
-Thank you all also.
Let's start with our main judge.
Well, congrats to the three of you.
The winner of Nailed It! Mexico is...
you, Carlos!
Carlos!
Thank you.
I can't believe it. I'm incredibly happy.
From here on, I have to get better,
and that's a promise to myself.
I'm very happy. I'm going to enjoy this
moment for a long time.
Selfie!
Andre, Angel, I came here for you guys.
I nailed it!
Thank you for watching Nailed It! Mexico.
Thank you!
-I missed the jump.
-Great!
Today, we have a spooky,
yet super fun episode.
Welcome to Nailed it! Mexico,
where it's the thought that counts.
This show starts with competitors trying
to make something cute and sweet,
but ends with something terrifying.
Today, we have three bakers
who are hoping to break
their bad luck with baking
because only one can win $200,000.
Let's meet the bakers.
IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.
Hello, my name is Ana Belém.
I am from Guadalajara, Jalisco.
I'm a beauty blogger and business coach.
I'm really inspired by French baking.
I'm dying to be able to make
a macaron one day.
They don't look that great,
but they are good
because I already ate two.
I already see myself in Paris
saying, "Oui, merci, Paris. I nailed it."
I'm Ricardo. I'm 25 years old.
I'm from Melchor Ocampo, Mexico.
I only bake for special occasions,
like my mom's birthday.
Come on.
My mom is the best.
I got kidney disease,
and my mom was my donor.
She was able to give me life
a second time.
I'm participating my mom saying,
"That's my son and my kidney."
Hello, I'm Carlos, and I'm from Puebla.
I'm an architect. My experience could
help me a lot
because architecture and cuisine
are very similar.
I'll let you see how it comes out.
My most embarrassing moment was
when my kids asked me for a cake.
These are my children,
Carlos Andre and Angel Santiago.
I'd love to be able to go back home
and tell my kids
"I nailed it!"
Welcome, bakers.
Before we start, I'd like to introduce you
to the Fondant Lady, Anna Ruiz.
Hi, guys.
We also have Mexican Willy Wonka,
José Ramón Castillo.
I have seen Chef José Ramon on TV.
I've seen his chocolate masterpieces.
We'll have to do something with chocolate.
Today, we'll have some fun
with frightening and scary folklore.
SWEET POSSIBILITIES
We've looked for some scary legends
that will make your hair stand on end.
Please don't get scared
when you see our next challenge.
The horror stories!
Here we have "La Llorona."
Be careful.
She lurks around rivers.
We also have here the "Chupacabra."
And no less terrifying, "El Coco."
This challenge is visual.
Completely made of chocolate.
They are all prepared
with cocoa butter paint.
See which one you like,
which one will be the easiest to make.
And when I say "run"...
Wait.
-Did you hear that?
-No, nothing.
-Did you hear that?
-Yes.
Did you hear it?
What?
Run!
La Llorona.
You have one hour.
One hour.
To the kitchen, bakers!
I'm winning, as always.
From what I understood, we're not going
to try their cakes.
-No.
-No, they're sculptures.
-There's no cooking.
-No.
They need to be detailed. They need
to look good and be scary.
To make your monster, first, you need
to paint the background with cocoa butter.
Then, put a block of chocolate
in the base of the structure.
Using modeling chocolate,
make the monster's body.
Next, use the fondant tools to work
on the face, body and clothing details.
After that,
paint the details on the figure.
Finally, paint the background using
different colored cocoa butter.
First, I am going to work on the shadows,
so that it has some sheen
at the end and it stands out.
Charlie's like a samurai right now.
Look at how he paints, like an architect.
Very detailed.
Order, order first and foremost.
This is makeup.
I am a beauty blogger.
It's one of my passions.
Makeup, beauty...
I think that with this experience
I'll have a little bit of an advantage.
I hope it's good.
♪ Makeup ♪
Tree.
Stay calm, Ricardo.
Winning like always. Winning, winning!
Look at him again. Always winning.
Super winning.
Instead of a paintbrush, he's using
a spoon to paint.
It's a very abstract tree.
-He's just like Bob Ross.
-Yes.
-Here we have a tree.
-A happy tree.
Someone could say that this is
from your baby's dirty diaper.
But no, ladies and gentlemen,
it's a tree.
I know that mine will surprise them.
I'm very abstract.
I'm a Renaissance artist.
I see it. I see it through art.
This is how I justify my lack of talent.
Super winning.
The door goes afterwards.
2. SHAPE THE CHOCOLATE BASE.
This is very difficult.
It's upside down.
Upside down.
It's falling apart.
Now he wants to melt the chocolate.
Sometimes you put a little bit
in the microwave,
and the excess heat melts it.
I'm not strong enough.
Why, God? Why am I so weak?
The bottom of the block melted,
but not the top.
So I said, "Ricardo, improvise!"
The blowtorch.
He's going to burn everything.
You have to be delicate.
He's the only one using the blowtorch.
If the chocolate's temperature
is above 122 degrees,
it releases the cocoa butter,
and nothing will stick.
-And you can't save it?
-No.
I'm going to leave it
because I burned the base.
I started to hit it and it broke,
so I thought, "Perfect. It's two rocks.
And that's how I made the bridge
for my river."
This really looks like poop, but it's not.
Forty-five minutes left!
I never knew about modeling chocolate.
It's awesome!
Playing with clay with my kids...
we do a lot of shaping.
I'm winning for myself
and to be an example for my kids.
If my dad can do it, so can I.
Boss, how are you?
The chupacabra is not Casper.
I'm not done.
The hardest part for me were the details
of the hair, the spines on his back.
I'm going to put it in the fridge.
Let's see. No. I know you need more body.
This is the first time that I've worked
with modeling chocolate.
At first I thought, "It's like clay."
Oh, my God. When I started, it was so
annoying to shape,
and my hands are this small.
Look at what I'm going to do.
When I got to the head, I said, "I'm not
going to waste time."
A lime. One more twist. Come on!
Come on. What's wrong?
I think at some point,
it will fall because it's too heavy.
Even if it's too big or looks like
an alien, it's a head.
It has a big nose.
How much time is left?
Twenty minutes.
Now I am going to place the base.
-How are you? What's up?
-Very good. And you?
I'm here making something abstract,
something beautiful.
Looking for a nut.
Can you help me find it since you're
already here, please?
You look for it. You can do two things
at once, right?
Here it is. Winning as always.
What would your mom say if she saw you
so stressed?
"Oh, my son, you're clumsy as always."
I have a really, really strong bond
with my mom.
After what she did, which was give me
the opportunity to live...
everything I do, all that I achieve,
is for and thanks to my mom.
It's good. I made it.
-Careful with the torch.
-Mom, I'm winning as always.
I'm going to start with the main shape
to give it some biceps and everything,
so that the monster
looks like it loves pain.
Carlos' vision is very clear.
It's standing straight up and not moving.
Of the three of them, he's the best
at copying the example.
Here we go.
Did your parents tell you scary stories
when you were kids?
Mine told "El Coco."
It didn't scare me because when my mom
would say, "Here comes El Coco,"
I would imagine a coconut.
A hairy coconut.
For as scared as it made me,
I would think,
"I want to eat it or add chili to it
or put a straw in it.
Beautiful bakers,
you only have ten minutes left!
Come on, Carlos! Time's running out!
He's wasting a lot of time.
I was really worried about
my chocolate base.
I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds
and nothing happened.
It gives it volume, and then I'll cover it
with chocolate.
I've never used it before, but it's great.
It gives it volume and then I'll cover it
with chocolate.
I think it'll work in the short time
I have left.
Friends, when you don't have time...
it's a reggae llorona.
Here's the first braid.
Does she have hands? Yes, she does.
This lady had big hands.
No, better here.
A little ball.
This is the baby.
The baby's head.
How are we doing?
Oh, no, the bed!
The little blanket.
Let's paint it green
so that it matches.
One minute left.
Shut up!
The chocolate is my friend.
It's not my enemy.
No!
Winning as always, friends.
Bakers!
Lift up your screens!
I'm coming.
No.
Think! Add another.
Oh, my God, it's so ugly.
Five!
Four!
Three!
My hat!
Two!
One!
You're done!
Don't you monsters move.
Ricardo!
What's up?
Will it scare us or make us laugh?
Define "scare."
Or make us sad?
Sad and scared.
This is the character
that you tried to make.
Let's see it, Ricardo.
Nailed it!
The original Llorona is chasing her kids
or someone,
and this one is standing up, like on acid.
She's very vintage, right?
-Very vintage.
-Very vintage.
The paint adds some artistic touches.
I like oil on canvas. This is chocolate
on wood, a new technique.
Here, we have her dress.
It's designer, very expensive.
This is a cat. You know why.
She hides in the trees.
She has claws,
like meow you know like...
What trip is this guy on?
What's going on with the chocolate?
These are rocks.
I assume she's in a field of agave.
-Distilling love.
-Distilling love.
There's no need to try it
because it's made out of chocolate.
So we're just going to rate it
on what we see.
-Thank you.
-Winning as always.
We've made it to France.
Oui oui.
Now we are looking at the Coco that you
had to recreate.
We want to see your creation!
Nailed it!
On my...no way...
Everything's there.
Take a good look.
It has a lot of style.
This is a somewhere between Coco
and an ogre.
The head is definitely a coconut.
The head miraculously didn't fall
because it's very heavy.
I pushed really hard.
Yeah, I saw.
I think...
you really showed off your makeup skills,
but your Coco is the worst thing we've
seen on this show.
It's like a melted plastic bottle.
The details on the bed are crooked,
but good.
The figure is a little weird.
I don't see any part of the leg or knee,
none of the details we asked for.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.
How are you, Carlos the architect?
We are looking at the chupacabra that you
had to make.
Let's see what you were able to do.
Nailed it!
At first glance, they look very similar.
The subtleties, the different greens,
the chocolate rocks you were able to do,
where it's standing ready to scream.
Who knows how it sounds?
It sounds like a dolphin.
Can you hide behind the chupacabra
so we can get the full effect?
Yeah.
Awesome.
I like the colors. I think you're missing
a little blue to give it some depth.
Regarding the figure,
its position is pretty good.
I'm curious to hear how you made the base.
Puffed rice.
I worked it like it was dirt.
Then, I covered it in chocolate.
You should have covered it
because it looks like you didn't finish.
-Great job. Congrats!
-Thanks.
Bakers, please come here to the front.
Ana, please tell us who made the most
terrifying monster.
The winner of the first round is...
You, Carlos!
Wow, I can't believe it.
I'm so incredibly happy.
Congrats, Carlos!
-You have won a special...
-Mixer!
So now you can cook your recipes just
like a professional.
And that's not all.
You also won the lucky golden cap
with its Paulina Rubio sequins.
But it's going to mess up my hair.
A hand for Carlos and the first round.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
The horror continues,
and the second round is even harder.
The winner of the second round
will receive $200,000.
-Ready?
-Yes.
NAIL IT OR FAIL IT
Bakers, behind this door,
there's something we can find inside
all of us.
José, will you do me the honor
of presenting Nail It or Fail It?
For this challenge,
you have to have a lot of heart
because, unfortunately, our friend
behind this door no longer has one.
Ready to sculpt?
La Parca!
The bony one.
The skull.
Absolutely everything,
from his hat to his tie,
the bust is made out of cake
with fondant details.
The face is made of chocolate
with glow in the dark paint.
His hat is made of puffed rice
and is covered with fondant flowers.
Worried about surviving this challenge?
Don't. We'll lend you a hand
with our help button.
You can summon either José or myself,
from under the grave,
to come help you for three minutes.
Keep in mind that you can only use
the button once.
My darling Ana Belém,
you weren't the worst. I don't like that.
You were the least good.
We're also going to give you
the cursed button.
When the spirit moves you,
smack the button
and a three-minute curse
will disrupt your opponents.
During which time, they will be frozen.
Awesome.
You only have two hours
for this masterpiece.
Ready?
-Ready.
-Yes.
To the kitchen, bakers!
I need flour, four eggs, melted butter...
Melted butter.
In the second round,
I said, "Virgin Mary, remember Ana Belém,
keep your composure. React accordingly.
Run. Do everything you have to do."
Pastry Lady,
what's the recipe for this wonderful cake?
First, bake all of the cakes
that will be used in the bust.
Stack the cakes for the structure
and carve the shoulders.
Cover your cake with black fondant.
Put the head on the structure.
And now you can sculpt the face
and the bones of the skull
with white modeling chocolate.
Use white fondant for the shirt
and an edible sugar leaf for the tie.
Don't forget to use
glow in the dark paint on the skull.
For the hat, cover it with puffed rice.
Then cover it with black fondant.
Cut flower petals and edible leaves
to decorate the hat.
Turn off the lights
and enjoy your skull.
Butter.
I never imagined myself making
something like this. It's very complex.
When I look at all the ingredients
I need to use,
it's something new for me,
but I know I can do it. Yes, I can.
I need more milk.
A cup of milk.
I need two cups of milk.
What's this?
One, two. There are two here.
She added too much milk to the batter.
I doubt it'll come out good.
When you have a lot of milk,
it takes a long time to bake.
Carlos, how far along are you?
I'm concentrating.
I'll add coffee flavor to the chocolate.
Our tradition for Day of the Dead is
to drink coffee
while we hold a vigil
for our deceased loved ones.
This is a tribute to those
who are no longer with us.
We're done mixing those two.
We're going to put them in the oven.
Ah! I burned myself!
I just can't use a stove.
Stoves and I have a pact
to be lifelong enemies.
I can burn myself on any stove, my stove,
the Nailed It stove, any one.
I thought it was me, but no,
it's surely the stove's fault.
Molding the head is new to me.
However, I was able to relax,
and I started to imagine
that I was molding something with my kids.
Why did they all start up there? They're
going to have a line there.
-Like mine.
-Exactly.
They have to press hard
so they can't be seen.
And smooth it all out.
I have another, more advanced technique
to share:
chocolate skin grafts.
Who are you talking so much to?
To the camera.
It looks like you're teaching a class.
Yes, I am.
I have an audience who wants
to know what this crazy guy is up to.
He's smoothing it out
with the fondant smoother.
It's like the iron that boxers use
to reduce swelling after they get hit.
Here I am. Winning as always.
I'm going to start making the hat.
I thought, what should I do?
I have puffed rice. What should I do?
I should fill it up. I have no idea.
I don't get why she's trying to fill
that part of the hat
when she had do to the outside.
All she really had to do was stretch
and cover it.
It's like if you wear a nice blazer
to a wedding
and have body paint underneath it.
Why?
I think they're farther along.
I'm doing everything wrong!
-Why?
-I've been putting this inside.
-Now she's realized it.
-She's copying Carlos now.
I spent 30 minutes really working it.
Bakers, you only have one hour left.
It's uncooked.
As soon as I saw
that my cakes weren't ready,
that other thing is turning brown,
that the others were cooling their cakes,
but not mine, I was going to faint.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
My cake isn't ready...
It's... I think...
Be careful.
It's clean. It's done.
Okay, that's it.
And now?
The fondant?
First, knead it over here.
There's too much cornflour.
Measure out the dimensions of the torso.
Knead it with the rolling pin
and add a little cornflour.
Don't flip it like a tortilla.
It's very difficult to follow what
the chef is saying.
She's a turbo chef.
It needs a layer of icing. There too.
Fill and sculpt it.
Something's missing.
You can make the hat in two parts.
There's too much flour to knead it.
You have to stack the cake.
-Really?
-Filling...
Work it with the rolling pin.
This is royal icing.
-Time's up.
-Thank you.
Bye.
Oh, my gosh.
I think Ricardo did some research
and found out that I like tres leches
and decided to change his point of attack.
To buy off the judge.
Fork.
Where is it? Here it is.
I have another trick. Always.
I always have the answer.
He talks a lot.
If this show weren't called Nailed It,
but Talk It, he would win.
I'm going to produce his show
Interesting tips.
Very important. Friends at home.
It shouldn't be dry.
How am I going to save my dry cake?
With tres leches. Super basic.
Milk, evaporated milk, condensed.
That gives it a smooth texture.
Interesting tips.
How are things, Carlos?
Good.
-Have you ever made cakes for your kids?
-Yes, many times, but not as decorated.
I'm surprised to not see...
the head.
Oh.
It's getting plastic surgery.
Oh, okay.
It's getting a facial.
The cake stuck to the pan.
-What happened?
-My cake is stuck to the table.
So, work it out.
Take a chance, improvise.
It needs more volume!
So fix it.
I know what I'm going to do.
I'll use marshmallows.
Okay, that's one way.
One with a pretzel base,
so it sounds crunchy.
A crunchy cake?
To be honest, following the recipe exactly
isn't my thing.
I like to add my own touch.
To give it volume,
she's using marshmallows.
You're doing well, Ana Belém. Come on.
You only have 20 minutes left!
Now we're going to make the body
of the suit, like some raindrops.
We'll start on this side.
Here it is.
This part of the suit.
We'll do the shirt now.
I'm going to put this here.
I'm using icing as the glue.
Now, what I need is
my Lady Gaga hat. Good?
This is a mess.
Carlos and Ricardo are a lot more
delicate than Ana Belém.
She's gluing it like this.
I looked at my skull and thought,
"What do I need?"
Paint.
Once for Day of the Dead,
I did my makeup as a skull.
So I said, "Get inspired by that makeup."
What we're going to do is
make you look spectacular!
It looks like a mustache,
but that doesn't matter.
Here, fighting with the flower.
Looks nice.
Imperfections makes perfection and beauty.
When you paint, it doesn't have to be
perfect because we don't have lasers.
This really reminds me of my mom
and grandmother.
When they wanted to do something really
detailed like this,
they really struggled to do so.
Beautiful bakers, five minutes left.
Now, I'm adding the finishing touches.
I'm adding gum,
even though he shouldn't have many teeth,
but it doesn't matter because...
Now I'm going to feel like Ricardo.
Winning as always!
Pose.
Ana Belém,
Ricardo and Charlie!
Just two minutes left!
Don't forget the glow in the dark paint
for the eyes.
Oh, the eye flowers.
One minute, ladies and gentlemen!
Let's go!
Sixty seconds!
No! I forgot to freeze them.
Bakers, raise your screens!
I'm winning as always.
Hurry! Stick it on!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
You're done.
We're looking at the original skull
and cake that you had to make.
Ricardo, please show us your skull.
Nailed it!
My immediate reaction is...
I like the colors.
I would like for the eyes
to have more paint.
But it looks good.
The base looks nice.
The bottom is good.
The shape's not bad.
It's good. I like the pearls in the eyes.
The face is completely clean, very good.
But the suit is dirty.
His suit is dirty because he's dead.
This skull is old.
Lights, please.
The first spot that needs
to glow in the dark,
-you can see it there.
-There it is.
I like the pink toilet paper flower
in his hat.
It's a marigold. Very vintage.
Turn on the lights.
The lights!
Thank you.
The lights!
-Thanks and good luck.
-You're welcome. Thank you.
Ana Belém!
Yes!
Let's see how good it looks.
Nailed it!
I love the bow. It's well-made.
The paint is good.
-The molding looks really good.
-Thank you.
The body is out of proportion.
He's very square.
It needs to be more sculpted and defined
and then mounted.
But it looks quite nice.
You can see the eyes more here
than in the other cake.
The teeth are gum.
I love the gum. That's a great idea.
Ana Belém, you did great.
Thank you.
Charlie, can you show us your masterpiece?
It would be my pleasure.
Nailed it!
Charlie!
Charlie!
To start, I see that the bow is lower,
but it's well executed.
I love your flower.
But the detail that I like a lot here
is that nice touch, the painting.
I like it.
I liked the nose. You're the first one
to give it some real depth.
It really sticks out, the eyes, too.
You're missing the magical fluorescent
dust.
It's not in the center of the eyes?
-Did you add pink dust?
-Yes.
I think you mixed up the bottles, Carlos.
I think we need to try the three cakes
to make our decision.
Bring on the cakes!
Let's start with Ricardo.
I know that it's oral ecstasy.
The fondant layer's pretty good.
It's not too thick nor too thin.
It's good. The texture is very good.
It's a tres leches cake.
I don't taste the milk.
I like how it tasted more than
how it looked. I give the flavor an 8,3
and if you do this, I'll raise it to a 9.
Winning as always.
You got your points.
The cake is good. It's not dry.
It's tasty,
-but it's just cake.
-Okay.
Ana Belém from France.
If you win, you can go to the Eiffel Tower
and drink cafe au lait.
Thank you.
There's something gummy. What's this?
Mystery cake.
It's got marshmallows.
The flavor is sensual.
The texture is good.
It's a little dry for me.
The pretzels are innovative.
The cake and the pretzels surprised me
because I don't like pretzels,
but with the cake, it was quite good.
I agree with them.
The marshmallow-pretzel mixture
got you some points.
And now, our last participant.
The flavor is excellent.
It's a delicious explosion.
The more you eat it, the better it gets.
The texture is good.
-Does it have a coffee flavor?
-Yes.
I think it's a little dry for me.
23% soggy.
I'm quite the expert now.
So I can see.
This cake tastes very homemade.
Made by my mom, those types of things.
-The flavor is very good.
-Okay.
I want to congratulate the three of you.
The winner will receive $200,000
and the Nailed It! Mexico trophy.
Trophy!
-It's the...
-Skeleton.
Nailed it.
Thank you.
He's a Karate Kid skeleton.
Okay, we're ready to find out
who the winner is.
Please have the gun ready, José Ramon,
-and thanks for being here.
-Thank you all also.
Let's start with our main judge.
Well, congrats to the three of you.
The winner of Nailed It! Mexico is...
you, Carlos!
Carlos!
Thank you.
I can't believe it. I'm incredibly happy.
From here on, I have to get better,
and that's a promise to myself.
I'm very happy. I'm going to enjoy this
moment for a long time.
Selfie!
Andre, Angel, I came here for you guys.
I nailed it!
Thank you for watching Nailed It! Mexico.
Thank you!
-I missed the jump.
-Great!
