CHRIS: READY!

ELMO: READY!

SUPERCHEF: COMPETITION NUMBER ONE!

CHRIS: DON'’’T YOU MEAN PEA SOUP?

SUPERCHEF: I MEAN "P" STEW, A STEW MADE UP ENTIRELY OF INGREDIENTS WHICH START WITH THE LETTER... "P," AND YOU MUST DO IT BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.

CHRIS: LOOK AT THAT.

HEH HEH.

ELMO: PUT THEM IN.

SUPERCHEF: TIME'’’S ALMOST UP, AND ALTHOUGH YOU'’’VE ACQUIRED A VARIETY OF INTRIGUING INGREDIENTS, THEY DON'’’T LOOK MUCH LIKE A STEW.

ALAN: OH, HE'’’S RIGHT.

WE NEED THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THIS STEW TOGETHER.

ELMO: GLUE?

THAT DOESN'’’T START WITH "P".

ALAN: NO--OHH...

BUT PORRIDGE DOES.

CHRIS: PORRIDGE!

HE'’’S RIGHT!

THAT'’’S IT!

ELMO: OH, YEAH!

PUT IT IN, PUT IT IN.

SUPERCHEF: TIME'’’S UP!

[MUSIC PLAYING] SUPERB, WHICH MEANS THE CLEAR WINNER OF THE FIRST COMPETITION IS... CHRIS: WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'’’S THIS?

ELMO: IT'’’S A HAT!

COOK 1: GOOD JOB!

SUPERCHEF: THIS HAT MUST HAVE FALLEN IN THE POT BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE WORD HAT STARTS WITH THE LETTER "H," NOT WITH THE LETTER "P".

CHRIS: YEAH.

WELL, HOWEVER IT GOT IN THERE, IT WAS IN THERE, WHICH MEANS THEY DIDN'’’T MAKE A "P" STEW, THEY MADE A "P" AND "H" STEW.

SUPERCHEF: ROUND 1, WORTH 1 POINT, IMPROBABLY GOES TO... [MUSIC PLAYING] ALAN FROM HOOPER'’’S STORE.

ELMO: YAY!

CHRIS: YES!

WHOA!

COOKS: 6, 7... CHRIS: THEY'’’RE ALMOST AT 8!

ALAN: GOT IT!

ELMO: WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?

CHRIS: ALL RIGHT.

THAT'’’S MAKES 5.

NOW WE HAVE 6.

ELMO: 6.

ALL: 7.

ELMO: WE STILL DON'’’T HAVE 8 APPLES.

ALAN: I'’’M SORRY.

I THINK THAT'’’S ALL I'’’VE GOT.

CHRIS: OHH!

COOKS: 8!

COOK 1: HA HA!

TIME TO BAKE A PIE, COOKS!

CHRIS: THEY HAVE ALL THEIR APPLES!

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

SUPERCHEF: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

CHRIS: MM-HMM.

SUPERCHEF: SURPRISINGLY THE CORRECT NUMBER OF APPLES, AND NOW THE TASTE TEST.

[MUSIC PLAYING] PEPPER IN AN APPLE PIE?

REVOLTING!

CHRIS: THAT WAS--THAT WAS ME.

SUPERCHEF: UGH!

AND NOW MY CAST IRON COOKS!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

AS I EXPECTED, THE PRECISE NUMBER OF APPLES, AND NOW...

THE TASTE.

[MUSIC PLAYING] INCOMPARABLE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE UNDISPUTED WINNER OF THE SECOND COMPETITION IS... CHRIS: WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'’’S THIS?

ELMO: GLASSES?

COOK 1: OH!

CAN'’’T YOU KEEP ANYTHING ON?

CHRIS: UH, THE RECIPE CALLED FOR 8 APPLES, NOT 8 APPLES AND A PAIR OF GLASSES.

HMM HMM!

SUPERCHEF: UNFORTUNATELY, THE ANNOYING BUT PERCEPTIVE ASSISTANT IS ONCE AGAIN CORRECT, WHICH MEANS THAT THE WINNER OF ROUND NUMBER 2, WORTH 1 POINT, IS... [MUSIC PLAYING] ALAN OF HOOPER'’’S STORE!

[CHEERING] CHRIS: ALAN, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WE ALREADY SCORED 2 POINTS.

THAT MEANS EVEN IF WE LOSE THE NEXT ONE, WE STILL WIN THE GAME!

HA HA!

YES!

SUPERCHEF: ACTUALLY, I'’’M AFRAID YOU WON'’’T.

ALAN: WE WON'’’T?

WELL, WHY NOT?

SUPERCHEF: BECAUSE UNLIKE THE OTHER ROUNDS, THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND IS WORTH NOT 1 BUT 3 POINTS.

CHRIS: 3 POINTS?

HOW IS THAT FAIR?

NO.

COME ON.

IT SHOULD BE 1 POINT LIKE-- SUPERCHEF: COMPETITION NUMBER 3!

WHOO!

YOU MUST EACH PREPARE A UNIQUE AND DELICIOUS... HALFGARIAN GOULASH.

ALAN: WHAT'’’S HALFGARIAN GOULASH?

SUPERCHEF: YOUR GOULASH MAY BE MADE UP OF ANY INGREDIENT YOU CHOOSE, BUT THEY MUST BE CUT PRECISELY IN HALF.

ALAN: CUT PRECISELY IN HALF?

SUPERCHEF: INDEED, BUT YOU MUST STILL PREPARE IT PERFECTLY BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.

BEGIN!

ALAN: OK. WE HAVE TO CUT THINGS IN HALF, BUT--BUT WHAT THINGS?

CHRIS: AT LEAST HE DID SAY WE COULD USE ANY INGREDIENTS WE WANTED TO, RIGHT?

ALAN: TRUE.

ELMO: OOH, OOH.

ELMO FOUND SOMETHING.

ALAN: A CANTALOUPE!

THAT'’’S PERFECT, ELMO.

ELMO: OH, GOOD!

ALAN: ALL RIGHT.

I'’’M GONNA START CUTTING.

YOU GUYS KEEP LOOKING, ALL RIGHT?

ELMO: BUT--BUT ELMO HAS A QUESTION.

ALAN: OH, SURE, ELMO, BUT CAN YOU MAKE IT QUICK?

ELMO: OK. WELL, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO CUT SOMETHING IN HALF?

ALAN: OH, OK. TAKE THIS CANTALOUPE, ALL RIGHT?

IT'’’S WHOLE, BUT IF I CUT IT INTO 2 PIECES LIKE THIS, RIGHT, AND THOSE 2 PIECES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE, THEN EACH OF THEM IS CALLED A HALF, GOT IT?

ELMO: GOT IT!

CHRIS: ALL RIGHT.

THEN LET'’’S GET TO IT!

ELMO: PUT IT IN THE POT.

COOKS: AND CUT!

COOK 1: AHH.

BRILLIANT WORK.

NOW FOR THE TASTE.

WHICH MEANS THAT WITH 3 POINTS IN THE FINAL ROUND, THE WINNER, TO NO ONE'’’S SURPRISE, IS... CHRIS: WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE!

AH, AH, AH.

COOK 3: OHH!

CHRIS: LOOK AT THAT.

ELMO: A WRISTWATCH!

ALAN: BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, A WRISTWATCH WHICH IS NOT CUT IN HALF.

SUPERCHEF: AND SO YOU HAD 2 POINTS.

[CHEERING] ALAN: WELL, ALAN AND HIS ASSISTANTS.
