[bakers] Aww!

00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,105
[Mikey] Oh.
4
00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:23,606
Hello, bakers.
5
00:00:24,232 --> 00:00:25,066
Hi, Mikey.
6
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:31,781
I'm dressed like this in honor
of a high school graduate in the house,
7
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:33,575
-Justin!
-[bakers cheering]
8
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:41,332
This very week, Justin's high school
graduation is happening without him.
9
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:42,250
Yes.
10
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:46,504
He instead chose
to bake hyper-realistic cakes on Netflix.
11
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:48,673
-[bakers laugh]
-You gotta do what you gotta do.
12
00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:49,632
Good choice.
13
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:52,969
So, we're going
to have a mini graduation ceremony.
14
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,305
-[Andrew] Whoo!
-Take this hat, my friend.
15
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,348
Put it on, tassel on the right.

00:01:01,102 --> 00:01:05,273
Now, to make it
even more authentically high school,
18
00:01:05,356 --> 00:01:09,152
I will mispronounce your last name, Ellen.
19
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,405
Justin "Elelen."
20
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:14,574

Go, Justin!
23
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:19,621
There you are.

[Mikey groans]
27
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:27,253
I don't need this anymore.
28
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:29,547
Aw, that's so cute.
29
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:33,802
Isn't that how you always pictured
your high school graduation?
30
00:01:33,885 --> 00:01:38,264
Being handed your diploma
by one of the white guys on SNL?
31
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:43,645
Andrew, you deserve
some celebration as well.
32
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:46,564
You are our two-time champion.
33
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:48,316
-[clapping, whooping]
-[Mikey] Whoo!
34
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:50,110
Andrew!
35
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:57,117
That means you've won a total of $25,000
in this competition, my friend.
36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,118
Dinner's on you!
37
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:01,538
All nine of you have had a chance to bake.
38
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:05,625
But now, we're going to change the game.
39

[suspenseful music playing]
40
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:11,047
The winners of the next three challenges
41
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:14,884
will automatically earn a spot
in the finale.
42
00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:18,972
That means only three of you
will make it there,
43
00:02:19,055 --> 00:02:23,601
where you will be competing
for a grand prize
44
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:25,645
of $50,000!
45
00:02:25,728 --> 00:02:29,023
-Woo-hoo!
-That is double what Andrew's won so far.
46
00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:30,150
[laughs]
47
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:36,030
But the bakers who lose the next
three challenges will be eliminated
48
00:02:36,114 --> 00:02:39,033
and banished to the gallery.
49
00:02:39,617 --> 00:02:41,911
-[bakers] Wow.
-Ouch.
50
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,621
Wow. A lot of wows.
51
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:45,540
[laughs]
52
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:46,708
Okay, Andrew.
53
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:48,293
Since you won, you get to pick
54
00:02:48,376 --> 00:02:51,421
which two bakers
you want to compete against.
55
00:02:51,504 --> 00:02:53,214
Think about this carefully,
56
00:02:53,756 --> 00:02:56,384
because whoever wins
will move on to the finale.
57
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:58,178
So, this is a big decision.
58
00:02:58,803 --> 00:02:59,637
Oh man.
59
00:03:01,431 --> 00:03:02,515
Who is your first pick?
60
00:03:03,725 --> 00:03:08,021
Well, I do wanna challenge myself
against a fellow winner.
61
00:03:08,104 --> 00:03:09,230
Ooh.
62
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:14,027
So, I think my first pick is gonna be
the girl that took me off the bench. Nina.
63
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:16,321
-[cheering, clapping]
-Nina!
64
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:18,990
Interesting choice.
65
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:21,326
She deserves another shot against me.
66
00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:23,369
-Oh ho ho!
-[Andrew chuckles]
67
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,163
The sass!
68
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:26,331
I've earned it!
69
00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:28,708
I'm ready.
I'm ready to take my title back.
70
00:03:28,791 --> 00:03:31,544
[Mikey, bakers] Oh!
71
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:32,545
[chuckles]
72
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:35,840
And who is the final baker
joining you today
73
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:38,885
to compete for a place in the finale?
74
00:03:38,968 --> 00:03:41,804
[tense music playing]
75
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:44,098
No one wants to make eye contact with me.
76
00:03:44,849 --> 00:03:47,644
-Jonny's staring you down. "Pick me."
-Yeah, Jonny!
77
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:50,146
Let's go.
78
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,523
-[Mikey] Oh!
-[bakers] Ooh!
79
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,943
Okay! We got Jonny!
80
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:56,903
I'm competing against two winners,
81
00:03:56,986 --> 00:04:00,073
so I'm feeling
like I gotta rise to the occasion.
82
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:03,326
The rest of you… I hate doing this.
83
00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:06,829
Please take your seats in the gallery.
84
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:07,789
[April] Ciao.
85
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:11,876
A lot is on the line here, folks.
86
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,920
It's time to play Find That Cake!
87
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,262
All right.
When the cake wall spins around,
88
00:04:22,345 --> 00:04:26,474
you will see six items you'd find at a…
89
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:28,226
party!

[clunks, whirs]
93
00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:39,362
The game is the same. You have 20 seconds
to lock in your answers on your keypads.
94
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:43,116
If you're the fastest,
you get to pick first.
95
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:47,328
Your time starts… now.
96
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:49,080
[tense music playing]
97
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,350
Ten seconds.
98
00:05:13,187 --> 00:05:14,397
Five seconds.
99
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:17,567
Three, two, one.
100
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:19,986
-Lock them in. Time's up!
-[bell dinging]
101
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:24,157
Okay, bakers.
Let's see who gets first pick.
102
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:29,078
Did any of you pick the "Aight" beer?
103
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,997
-[laughing]
-That's my favorite beer.
104
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:35,209
The non-product placement beer, Aight.
105
00:05:36,252 --> 00:05:38,880
"Dude! Can you pass me an Aight? Thanks."
106
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:42,925
-Aight.
-Let's see if Aight is cake.
107
00:05:45,219 --> 00:05:47,013
[Nina] No. Oh.
108
00:05:47,096 --> 00:05:48,723
It explodes. [chuckles]
109
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:50,433
-No. Not cake.
-[laughs]
110
00:05:54,312 --> 00:05:55,772
Who here likes chips?
111
00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:56,898
[laughing]
112
00:05:57,565 --> 00:05:58,983
-Love chips.
-Love chips.
113
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:01,819
[Mikey] Jonny, you picked the chips.
Let's see if you found it.
114
00:06:01,903 --> 00:06:05,031
[tense music playing]
115
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:09,118
-Nope.
-[stabbing string music]
116
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:11,829
-Oh, hey, all right.
-[Mikey] So, that's not cake.
117
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:16,084
Andrew, Nina. You both picked the piñata.
118
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:17,627
Let's find out if it's cake.
119
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:21,214
[tense music playing]
120
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:23,424
[Mikey] Ooh!
121
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:25,259
[Nina] Oh, yay!

[Nina chuckles]
123
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,097
[Mikey] That's cake!
124
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:31,432
With a little sprinkle party, too.
125
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:33,518
-Look at that.
-[Andrew] How cute.
126
00:06:33,601 --> 00:06:37,105
I just cut
this adorable creature's butt off.
127
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:40,233
Well done, Nina and Andrew.
128
00:06:40,316 --> 00:06:41,526
You were both right.
129
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:42,652
Andrew.
130
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:43,611
Hi!
131
00:06:43,694 --> 00:06:46,447
-[laughs]
-[Mikey] You found the cake the fastest.
132
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:47,949
So, you get first pick.
133
00:06:48,032 --> 00:06:49,242
Jonny, I'm sorry.
134
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:52,161
You didn't find the cake,
so you get last pick.
135
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:53,371
[groans nasally]

[gallery laughing]
137
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:58,709
It's time to play Is It Cake?
138
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:05,842
Bakers, you know how this works.
139
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:09,554
Each of you is going to choose
one of these party items
140
00:07:09,637 --> 00:07:11,597
to make into a cake.
141
00:07:11,681 --> 00:07:15,518
-Andrew, what's your pick?
-I think I'm gonna go with Number Four.
142
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:18,187
-[Mikey] Number Four! The red cups!
-[gallery groaning]
143
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,773
Was that a bad choice?
144
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:22,108
-No.
-[Sam] No, you got it.
145
00:07:22,191 --> 00:07:24,152
-Okay.
-[Mikey] Why the red cups, Andrew?
146
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:28,156
It was one of the last ones I felt like
could be cake, so that's fun.
147
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:31,534
Nina, you came in second.
What is your choice?
148
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:32,577
Two.
149
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:34,120
[Mikey] The murdered chips.
150
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:35,246
[Nina laughs] Yeah.
151
00:07:35,329 --> 00:07:37,331
You have to make chips and a bowl here.
152
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:38,249
Yeah, it'll be fine.
153
00:07:38,332 --> 00:07:40,835
-And individual chips.
-[Nina] Yeah.
154
00:07:40,918 --> 00:07:43,421
I guess with fondant, anything's possible.
155
00:07:44,046 --> 00:07:45,465
[laughs]
156
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:48,217
And lastly, Jonny.
157
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:50,720
Six, 'cause I love wearing fun hats.
158
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:55,391
Jonny Hats is again Jonny Hats!
159
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,810
He's back in the building, folks.
160
00:07:57,894 --> 00:08:00,062
Okay, bakers. Interesting choices.
161
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:03,816
Now, head over to the kitchen
and slide into those aprons.
162
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:05,443
-[whooping]
-[Nina] Good luck.
163
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:06,486
[Sam] Let's go!
164
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:12,116
[Mikey] We are giving you eight hours
to complete your cakes.
165
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,827
It's time to bake!
166
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,204
[upbeat music playing]
167
00:08:22,126 --> 00:08:23,794
[Nina] This is always the fun part.
168
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:27,798
I couldn't be happier to be in the kitch--
All my dreams have come true.
169
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:30,635
-I get to be in the kitchen with y'all.
-[Jonny] Uh-huh.
170
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:34,347
This is the titans of Is It Cake?
171
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:37,183
The three winners are here
to battle it out
172
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:39,185
to see who gets to go to the finale.
173
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,604
And I think that's
the fairest way to do this.
174
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:43,814
Andrew, what cake flavor are you doing?
175
00:08:43,898 --> 00:08:45,691
'Cause it's a party,
176
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:48,110
-I'm doing almond funfetti cake.
-[Justin] Ooh!
177
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:51,239
And then almond buttercream

popping candies in my cake.

I first have to dye some wafer paper

The most difficult thing
about these party cups is precision.
294

So, I decided that the best way
to make a realistic-looking cup
295
00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:24,864
is to use the cup itself as a mold.

00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:12,156
But then, looking at these decoys,
348
00:17:12,239 --> 00:17:15,784
I'm thinking I can glue chips
to the sides of the decoys,
349
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:19,747
so it looks like realistic chips
overflowing in a bowl.
350
00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:21,498
And it's looking good.
351
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:24,084
Don't wanna go home, definitely.
352
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:26,086
Don't wanna sit on the bench anymore.
353
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:28,172
So, I'm hoping I can turn it around.
354
00:17:33,343 --> 00:17:34,678
[Andrew] I hate cups right now.
355
00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:38,182
These white lines that I have to create,
the-- the top of that cup,
356
00:17:38,265 --> 00:17:41,810
if those are not absolutely perfect,
it doesn't look like a cup.
357
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,063
So, I'm going to use an extruder tool
358
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:46,899
to get the perfect rims
with white modeling chocolate.
359
00:17:47,524 --> 00:17:51,612
It's a lot of lines, guys.
I don't know what I was thinking.
360
00:17:51,695 --> 00:17:53,572
Bakers! Thirty minutes!
361
00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:57,034
[Andrew] I wanna rip my face off.
I don't know why I chose this.
362
00:17:57,576 --> 00:18:02,998
I'm excited. Even from up close,
these chips are looking very realistic.
363
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,793
I think I'm a chip connoisseur
at this point.
364
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:08,670
[Andrew] I wish this wasn't
an elimination.
365
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,756
I am so nervous right now.
366
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:13,342
In the end, they look like cups.
367
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:16,136
When I put 'em next
to these other cups, they're fooling me,
368
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,555
but I just don't know if I've done enough.
369
00:18:19,056 --> 00:18:19,973
Five minutes!
370
00:18:20,057 --> 00:18:22,142
[energetic music playing]
371
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,855
[Jonny] It's fuzzy time.
372
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:29,024
-Oh my God!
-[music warps]
373
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:31,610
[Mikey] What happened?
374
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:34,947
-[Mikey] Oh, no.
-[Andrew] Oh, no. Oh, Jesus.
375
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:37,199
[Mikey] Fuzzies. Fuzzies.
376
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,617
[Hemu] Go back and make it.
377
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,077
[Jonny] I'm not using these.
378
00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:41,829
Oh, five minutes?
379
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:43,831
Okay, 'cause my cake just fell apart.
380
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:45,999
[April] Put the good ones in the front,
381
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:49,128
and just leave the back blank.
No one's gonna see it.
382
00:18:49,211 --> 00:18:51,588
The pom poms were not secured well enough.
383
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:55,926
The piping gel didn't work.
It's just not strong enough glue.
384
00:18:56,009 --> 00:18:57,427
[exhales] Wish me luck!
385
00:18:57,511 --> 00:18:59,263
-[all encouraging]
-You got it.
386
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:02,349
Not to panic.
387
00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:04,393
I know what will hold these pom poms on.
388
00:19:06,019 --> 00:19:07,980
I just need to melt down some chocolate.
389
00:19:08,063 --> 00:19:10,023
But, like, the chocolate needs to dry.
390
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:11,358
It needs its moment.
391
00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:13,527
I mean, I am freaking out.
392
00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:16,363
Party's over.
Time to call a car and go home.
393
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:19,825
-Okay. I had a little hiccup.
-[Mikey] Ten seconds!
394
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,997
-Time's up!
-[sighs]
395
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,165
Whoo.
396
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:27,749
[Jonny] I think I fixed it.
397
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,043
Best of luck to all of you.
398
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:37,426
The time has come.
399
00:19:37,509 --> 00:19:42,139
Nothing stands between you and your chance
to move on to the finale,
400
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:44,766
except, of course, the judges.
401
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,435
So, let's meet them now.
402
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:48,478
He's an actor and producer
403
00:19:48,562 --> 00:19:51,565
who has starred in Broad City and Narcos.
404
00:19:51,648 --> 00:19:54,943
Your favorite Narco, it's Arturo Castro.
405
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,695
[clapping, whooping]
406
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,909
When people meet you,
are they surprised that you're super nice?
407
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:04,203
-[Arturo laughs]
-And intimidated?
408
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:06,455
Well, yeah, the Broad City fans
have no boundaries.
409
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:08,916
They're like, "Please kiss my baby,
lick this arm."
410
00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:11,126
But the Narcos ones
come up like, "Mr. Castro."
411
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,045
[laughing]
412
00:20:13,128 --> 00:20:16,798
She's a singer
and viral internet sensation,
413
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:18,217
Ms. Rebecca Black.
414
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,427
-Legend in the building.
-[whooping]
415
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:21,553
Woo-hoo!
416
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:22,888
Thanks for having me.
417
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:24,681
I listened to "Girlfriend."
418
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:27,017
-[gasps] Thank you.
-And I will say, it's a bop,
419
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:28,060
as the kids say.
420
00:20:28,143 --> 00:20:30,520
I really liked it.
And you're going on tour, right?
421
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,898
I am. I'm going on tour, uh, in 2022.
422
00:20:32,981 --> 00:20:35,901
So, it's safe to say,
you're living your best life.
423
00:20:35,984 --> 00:20:38,946
Feels like it. I'm living my dream today.
I've always wanted to do this.
424
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:41,198
-To do this? To look at cake?
-Yeah. Exactly this.
425
00:20:41,281 --> 00:20:42,783
Look at maybe a cake.
426
00:20:42,866 --> 00:20:44,076
[laughing]
427
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:46,703
He's a comedian,
actor, and writer. Jon Gabrus.
428
00:20:46,787 --> 00:20:48,372
[clapping, whooping]
429
00:20:48,455 --> 00:20:50,499
Hi. Hello. Hello, hi.
430
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:53,835
I've heard that you've done
a few baking shows.
431
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:57,256
I have been on some other baking shows.
432
00:20:57,339 --> 00:20:59,174
You know, I have a cake bod.
433
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:02,636
Uh, so, when I show up, they're like,
"This guy eats cake, clearly."
434
00:21:02,719 --> 00:21:03,845
[laughing]
435
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:05,889
Judges, this is your mission.
436
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:10,102
The three of you will have 20 seconds
to find the cake and agree on one answer,
437
00:21:10,185 --> 00:21:13,105
and enter it on the keypad
in front of Jon.
438
00:21:13,188 --> 00:21:15,190
So you guys have to work together.
439
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:19,319
And there's a lot riding on your ability
to find these cakes today,
440
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:23,407
because at the end of the day,
only one baker will move on to the finale.
441
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:27,035
And the other two will be
eliminated from the competition
442
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,622
and forced to join the bench bunch.
443
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:34,167
All right, our first baker is Andrew.
444
00:21:34,251 --> 00:21:38,964
He made what you find next to every keg
across this great nation.
445
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:40,299
Plastic cups.
446
00:21:40,382 --> 00:21:44,344
They remind him of his days
partying with the bros at Lambda Chi.
447
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:46,013
'Cause you read frat bro to me.
448
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:47,723
Totes. Totes, dude.
449
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:49,891
-Totes, dude.
-[Andrew laughs]
450
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,310
Dude.
451
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:53,020
-Dude.
-Bro.
452
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:54,229
Spin around.
453
00:21:55,605 --> 00:21:57,774
All right, judges.
Here come five cake stands,
454
00:21:57,858 --> 00:21:59,943
each with a stack of plastic cups.
455
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:04,573
Guys, one of those stacks is cake.
456
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:07,117
You need to try and find it.
457
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,994
Your time starts now!
458
00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:12,998
-[Rebecca] Oh my God. What?
-[Jon] They're all cups, for sure.
459
00:22:13,081 --> 00:22:15,208
One's got a shine that's bothering me.
460
00:22:15,292 --> 00:22:18,503
[Rebecca] Two is kinda giving me,
like, a weird gloss ratio.
461
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:21,673
No, I feel like Three is giving me
really, really good vibes.
462
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,551
-[Jon] Um, no. I don't--
-Yeah, Four.
463
00:22:24,634 --> 00:22:25,719
[Rebecca] I don't know.
464
00:22:25,802 --> 00:22:28,638
-The lean of it feels weird.
-[Rebecca] The lean feels weird?
465
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:31,183
[Mikey] Five seconds. Lock it in.
466
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:34,102
-[judges yelling]
-Three, two, one. Time's up!
467
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:35,479
-Lock it in.
-[bell dinging]
468
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,984
You guys selected Number Four.
Are you guys all in agreement?
469
00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:44,029
We all had three choices,
so I was afraid to not hit a button.
470
00:22:44,112 --> 00:22:46,448
-Too much pressure! I quit!
-This is a terrible team.
471
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:47,532
[laughing]
472
00:22:47,616 --> 00:22:48,658
Oh, I love it.
473
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:49,868
[exhales]
474
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:51,286
[Mikey] Okay, judges.
475
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,372
-Let's see how you did.
-Ooh.
476
00:22:53,455 --> 00:22:56,458
Arturo, you were the strong voice
on Number Four.
477
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:59,920
Because I feel like it leans weird.
But maybe I'm drunk?
478
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:01,338
I don't know.
479
00:23:01,421 --> 00:23:02,255
[laughing]
480
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:05,384
All right, judges.
Let's see if you're right.
481
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:09,805
Andrew, your future
hangs in the balance right now.
482
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:12,307
You're either going to be eliminated,
483
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:16,978
or get a chance to claim
that first open spot in the finale.
484
00:23:17,479 --> 00:23:19,064
[tense music playing]
485
00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:20,607
[sings dramatically]
486
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:21,942
[tense music continues]
487
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,032
-[Rebecca] Oh, no.
-No!
488
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,033
[Rebecca] Oh, no!
489
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:31,201
Not cake!
490
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:32,202
[whooping]
491
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:33,912
-Not cake!
-Great job!
492
00:23:33,995 --> 00:23:35,080
Good job.
493
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:38,750
Andrew! Slayers gonna slay.
494
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:41,920
You did it again. Three in a row.
495
00:23:42,003 --> 00:23:43,422
-Wow.
-The kid's good.
496
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:47,634
You deceived our judges.
This means you're up for the win today.
497
00:23:47,717 --> 00:23:51,763
And you could be our first baker
to secure a spot in the finale.
498
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:55,183
You deserve to show them
where your cake is.
499
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:56,685
Will you do the cut?
500
00:23:56,768 --> 00:23:59,229
Let's show 'em your cake, my friend.
Go for it.
501
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:01,356
Oh my God. Oh my God.
502
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,817
-He's faking us out.
-[Mikey] Where's he going?
503
00:24:04,818 --> 00:24:07,154
-He's the ghost with the most.
-[Rebecca] What?
504
00:24:07,237 --> 00:24:10,532
-This guy's very comfortable.
-Very casual with a knife in his hand.
505
00:24:15,495 --> 00:24:17,122
-[Rebecca] What?!
-Oh!
506
00:24:17,205 --> 00:24:20,167
-[Rebecca] What?!
-[Mikey] Funfetti!
507
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:21,251
Beautiful.
508
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:23,211
You're undefeated, my friend.
509
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:25,297
-Well done.
-[Andrew chuckles] Thank you.
510
00:24:26,506 --> 00:24:28,675
Next up is Nina.
511
00:24:28,758 --> 00:24:29,718
[cheering]
512
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:30,719
Nina.
513
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:35,182
Okay. Nina made something everyone
likes to see at a party.
514
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:36,975
A bowl of chips.
515
00:24:37,058 --> 00:24:38,226
-Ooh.
-A bowl of chips?
516
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:40,061
Cake Wall, spin!
517
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:42,522
Judges, you're about
to see five bowls of chips.
518
00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:45,692
But one of them is… Yep, a cake.
519
00:24:46,193 --> 00:24:49,029
The question is, can you find it?
520
00:24:49,112 --> 00:24:51,239
Your time starts now!
521
00:24:51,907 --> 00:24:54,409
-[Rebecca] Oh my God.
-[Jon] Oh, no, no, no.
522
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,621
Oh man. Okay. Forgot how hard this is.
523
00:24:57,704 --> 00:24:59,247
[tense music playing]
524
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:03,335
-[Jon] No.
-Do you think Three?
525
00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:06,171
-[Jon] I might be with you.
-[Rebecca] You think Three?
526
00:25:06,254 --> 00:25:07,756
I kinda think Four?
527
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:08,882
I mean, I don't--
528
00:25:08,965 --> 00:25:09,966
[Mikey] Ten seconds!
529
00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:12,427
Look at all of that
on the outside of Four! Right?
530
00:25:13,136 --> 00:25:15,055
[Jon] Oh my God. I don't know, dude.
531
00:25:15,138 --> 00:25:16,890
Oh, that's some good thinking.
532
00:25:16,973 --> 00:25:19,226
-Three, two, one. Time's up!
-[bell dinging]
533
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:22,646
What did you select?
534
00:25:22,729 --> 00:25:24,397
[Jon] We landed on Three.
535
00:25:25,565 --> 00:25:27,442
-How are you guys feeling?
-Not good.
536
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,152
-Nina!
-Yes.
537
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:32,739
Everything has come down to this cut.
538
00:25:33,448 --> 00:25:35,909
If this is cake, you will be eliminated.
539
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,202
[nervously] Oh, no.
540
00:25:37,285 --> 00:25:38,245
Let's find out.
541
00:25:38,328 --> 00:25:39,454
[tense music playing]
542
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:44,709
-[judges gasping]
-No! It's not cake!
543
00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:45,835
[whooping]
544
00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:48,296
-Oh!
-[Rebecca] Oh my gosh!
545
00:25:48,922 --> 00:25:52,175
-[Jon] Oh, thank God.
-[Mikey] Nina! Congratulations.
546
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:53,677
You fooled the judges.
547
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,845
This means you're up for the win,
548
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:58,932
and you're one step closer
to securing a spot
549
00:25:59,015 --> 00:26:01,059
to compete in the finale.
550
00:26:01,142 --> 00:26:02,394
How are you feeling?
551
00:26:02,477 --> 00:26:04,771
I'm ready to claim my throne again.
552
00:26:04,854 --> 00:26:07,607
-The queen!
-Yes! Okay.
553
00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:11,945
All right, Nina. Why don't you come
show the judges which one is your cake?
554
00:26:12,028 --> 00:26:13,113
[chuckles]
555
00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:14,781
Toy with their minds.
556
00:26:14,864 --> 00:26:16,533
-[Jonny laughs]
-[Jon] Oh.
557
00:26:16,616 --> 00:26:17,492
[judges] Oh.
558
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:18,493
[Rebecca gasps]
559
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:19,661
Ah!
560
00:26:19,744 --> 00:26:21,913
-Really? What?
-[Mikey] Oh!
561
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:24,916
Oh! Okay.
562
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,712
The queen messes with her subjects!
563
00:26:28,795 --> 00:26:29,671
Okay.
564
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:32,048
[Rebecca] Oh my God.
565
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:33,091
[gasps]
566
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:37,220
-[Rebecca] Oh--
-[Jon] Oh my God.
567
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:39,014
-What? How?
-[Jon] Chips on top.
568
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:40,307
[laughing]
569
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:43,351
-[Rebecca] Wow.
-Whoa, that looks like cake to me.
570
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:44,728
Wow.
571
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:46,646
[clapping]
572
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:52,944
It's time for our last baker. Jonny.
573
00:26:53,028 --> 00:26:57,907
No good time is complete
without party hats.
574
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:00,577
Cake Wall, spin around!
575
00:27:01,494 --> 00:27:06,291
Judges, there are about to be
five party hats in front of you.
576
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:10,086
And one of those party hats is, yep, cake.
577
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:12,589
So, it's up to you guys to find it.
578
00:27:12,672 --> 00:27:15,717
Your time starts right now.
579
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,761
-[Rebecca] What? No.
-[Jon laughs] No!
580
00:27:17,844 --> 00:27:20,347
-[Jon] I quit! I'm out! Okay.
-[Rebecca] Oh my God.
581
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:22,724
-One's got a weird lean.
-What?
582
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:24,434
[Rebecca] Which one has a weird lean?
583
00:27:24,517 --> 00:27:26,728
-Number One, sorry!
-One, oh. Two?
584
00:27:28,271 --> 00:27:30,982
[Arturo] I don't know. They both lean,
and they're on the corner.
585
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:33,276
-[Mikey] Ten seconds.
-Four? I don't know.
586
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,907
-[Arturo] One or Five?
-[Rebecca] They all look the same.
587
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,492
-Four is…
-[Mikey] Five seconds.
588
00:27:40,575 --> 00:27:42,410
-Wait! It might be Three.
-[bell dinging]
589
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:44,371
-One?
-Oh! I said Four when you--
590
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:45,372
Four?!
591
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:47,248
-You said Four!
-Nobody said Four!
592
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,209
-Cut to the tape!
-[Mikey yells]
593
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:50,168
Roll the tape!
594
00:27:50,251 --> 00:27:51,419
[Mikey] Time's up!
595
00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:53,838
Judges, let's see if you're right.
596
00:27:53,922 --> 00:27:56,758
-You selected Number Four.
-[Rebecca] Yes.
597
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:58,677
-Correct.
-And why is that?
598
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,512
That's a great question, Mikey.
599
00:28:00,595 --> 00:28:02,764
Because our friend panicked
and picked that button.
600
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:04,474
-No, I'm kidding.
-[laughing]
601
00:28:06,059 --> 00:28:09,771
There's something about the shine to Four
that's a little different than the others.
602
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:11,773
-Mr. Jonny Hats.
-Yes.
603
00:28:11,856 --> 00:28:13,525
-You ready?
-Uh-huh.
604
00:28:13,608 --> 00:28:14,442
[kisses]
605
00:28:14,943 --> 00:28:16,945
Dramatic lighting on this.
606
00:28:17,028 --> 00:28:18,238
[laughs]
607
00:28:18,321 --> 00:28:23,702
You're either going to be eliminated
or up for that first spot in the finale.
608
00:28:23,785 --> 00:28:25,745
We'll find out. Is it cake?
609
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:27,372
[tense music playing]
610
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:30,834
-No.
-[judges groaning]
611
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:32,836
-No! Not cake!
-[Jon] Is it wafer paper?
612
00:28:32,919 --> 00:28:33,962
[clapping, whooping]
613
00:28:35,797 --> 00:28:38,633
[Mikey] Jonny Hats does it again!
614
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,677
Well done. Why don't you come up here
615
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,263
and show the judges
which one is your cake.
616
00:28:43,346 --> 00:28:44,180
You got it.
617
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:46,349
Ooh, he brought a blow torch.
618
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:47,517
Whoa.
619
00:28:48,518 --> 00:28:49,519
Oh.
620
00:28:50,103 --> 00:28:52,272
Here he goes. You heated it up--
621
00:28:52,355 --> 00:28:53,440
[judges] Oh!
622
00:28:53,523 --> 00:28:55,150
The old torch fake-out. Oh!
623
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:56,693
[Jon] Huh? Oh!
624
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:57,861
It's this one over here.
625
00:28:57,944 --> 00:28:59,529
-Ah!
-Oh!
626
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:02,407
[chuckles]
627
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:04,492
-Oh, wow.
-Oh, there we go.
628
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:06,286
[Rebecca] Wow.
629
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:07,662
Oh ho ho!
630
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,456
[Rebecca] Wow!
631
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:11,541
[Jonny] There it is!
632
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:18,173
Andrew, Nina, Jonny, congratulations.
633
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:19,090
Hat trick!
634
00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:25,138
You have bested our judges for the
chance to win not only up to $10,000
635
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:27,515
but a golden ticket to the finale.
636
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:28,892
How do you feel?
637
00:29:28,975 --> 00:29:30,101
-I feel great.
-Amazing.
638
00:29:30,185 --> 00:29:34,689
Yeah, I'm-- I'm very, uh,
grateful to be alive in the competition.
639
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:36,691
[laughing]
640
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:40,195
I wish all of you guys could win
and move on, but it's not up to me.
641
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:43,031
Our judges must take a closer look…
642
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:45,617
-[wearily] No.
-…before making their decision.
643
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:50,288
So, it all comes down
to the taste and details.
644
00:29:50,371 --> 00:29:52,832
Here we go. Cake Wall, spin!
645
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:02,967
-Wow!
-Number Two is cake! Number Two is cake!
646
00:30:03,051 --> 00:30:04,093
[laughing]
647
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:07,555
All right, judges. Your cakes await.
648
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:08,723
Okay, cake.
649
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:11,100
Scrutinize.
650
00:30:11,184 --> 00:30:14,437
All right, Andrew.
Tell us all about your cake.
651
00:30:14,521 --> 00:30:16,356
[Andrew] So I did a funfetti almond cake.
652
00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:21,110
And then I also did an almond buttercream,
but it has popping candies inside of it.
653
00:30:21,194 --> 00:30:24,155
-[Jon] That little sizzle thing.
-[Arturo] It's so creative.
654
00:30:24,239 --> 00:30:26,115
This is so creative in so many ways.
655
00:30:26,199 --> 00:30:29,118
The cup itself is delicious.
Such a genius combination.
656
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:30,578
It is a party in the mouth.
657
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:33,623
-This is insane.
-This is insanely realistic.
658
00:30:33,706 --> 00:30:36,501
[Arturo] Excellent work.
Up close, they look even more plastic.
659
00:30:36,584 --> 00:30:39,170
The shine is unbelievable.
660
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:42,590
Oh my God. Look at the…
The little recycling bit is a…
661
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:44,342
-[kisses] …stroke of genius.
-Wow.
662
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:47,804
[Mikey] Nina,
please tell us about your cake.
663
00:30:47,887 --> 00:30:49,305
[Nina] So I did a Neapolitan.
664
00:30:49,389 --> 00:30:51,516
So, there's chocolate layers of cake,
665
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:54,811
strawberry jam, buttercream,
and chocolate ganache.
666
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:56,896
[Rebecca] I really like the flavor.
It's delicious.
667
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:58,690
[Arturo] This is so much effort.
668
00:30:59,274 --> 00:31:02,360
-It is so much effort.
-[Arturo] Individually painting these…
669
00:31:02,443 --> 00:31:05,947
The chips look
a little bit less real, yeah. Yeah.
670
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:07,615
But there's a high difficulty.
671
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:10,243
-[Rebecca] Definitely.
-[Jon] It's like a big swing.
672
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:12,579
-Pretty incredible.
-Wanna move down to the hat?
673
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:14,163
-[Mikey] Okay. Jonny?
-Yeah.
674
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:16,791
[Mikey] Tell us about your cake,
the flavors and everything.
675
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:20,712
[Jonny] So, this has vanilla cake layers
with chocolate-- chocolate chunks in it,
676
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:25,049
toasted hazelnut,
and some dark chocolate ganache.
677
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:27,635
-The ganache is crazy.
-[Arturo] Yeah.
678
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:30,805
The pom poms look real.
679
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:32,140
Yeah. It worked.
680
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:34,767
[Rebecca] The lettering
looks like real stickers.
681
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:36,895
It does look like paper little letters.
682
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:38,980
-Right.
-This one blended very well.
683
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:41,149
-The flavor…
-The caramel, dulce de leche--
684
00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:43,735
-[Jon] It's bangin'.
-It's absolutely insane.
685
00:31:43,818 --> 00:31:47,739
Judges, you've had a chance
to review the cakes, so please deliberate.
686
00:31:47,822 --> 00:31:49,824
-I mean, they're all unbelievable.
-Okay, guys--
687
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:53,453
-The level of difficulty that this took--
-Was very high.
688
00:31:53,536 --> 00:31:57,290
-[Rebecca] Super high.
-[Arturo] But the change in distance…
689
00:31:57,373 --> 00:31:58,583
Gave some things away.
690
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:02,629
And in my mind the change of distance
made this more powerful.
691
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:06,466
The level of craftsmanship that it took
to create that is really so impressive.
692
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:08,343
And the cake inside is fantastic.
693
00:32:08,426 --> 00:32:11,179
-But Jonny's--
-That flavor is out of control.
694
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:14,557
-Insane. The ganache, not too sweet.
-That's directly made for me.
695
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,518
But I think that one's
so much more visually impressive.
696
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:19,354
The essential question, is it cake?
697
00:32:19,437 --> 00:32:20,605
Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
698
00:32:20,688 --> 00:32:23,691
Okay, judges.
You've had time to talk it over.
699
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:29,697
But it's time for you to tell us
which one will advance to the finale
700
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:33,451
for a shot at $50,000.
701
00:32:33,534 --> 00:32:35,244
Have you reached a decision?
702
00:32:35,328 --> 00:32:36,788
[Jon, Rebecca exhale]
703
00:32:36,871 --> 00:32:39,791
Well, everyone did a wonderful job.
704
00:32:39,874 --> 00:32:40,917
Obviously.
705
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,253
And from a distance and up close
really does change perspective.
706
00:32:44,337 --> 00:32:50,510
But in the end, we think, just absolutely
crushing it in the realistic front…
707
00:32:50,593 --> 00:32:52,428
[tense music playing]
708
00:32:56,224 --> 00:32:58,101
…is Andrew's red cups.
709
00:32:58,184 --> 00:32:59,185
[Andrew] Oh my God!
710
00:32:59,727 --> 00:33:03,398
Andrew!
711
00:33:05,024 --> 00:33:06,192
Oh my God!
712
00:33:06,275 --> 00:33:10,154
Congrats! That means
you've just won another $5,000.
713
00:33:10,238 --> 00:33:11,322
Thank you, guys!
714
00:33:11,406 --> 00:33:15,868
And you are our first baker
to secure themselves a spot in the finale.
715
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:17,787
Well done, King.
716
00:33:17,870 --> 00:33:19,038
Congratulations.
717
00:33:19,122 --> 00:33:20,289
[Arturo] Well done.
718
00:33:20,373 --> 00:33:22,750
-How does it feel?
-I don't know what to say right now.
719
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:26,379
I hate getting emotional with this stuff,
but really, thank you guys so much.
720
00:33:26,462 --> 00:33:27,880
[judges chuckle]
721
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:29,924
Let's show our judges some love.
722
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:32,343
They crushed it!
723
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:35,680
-Thank you, Arturo, Jon, and Rebecca.
-Thank you.
724
00:33:35,763 --> 00:33:39,809
Sorry. By order of Netflix,
you must leave on the cake wall.
725
00:33:39,892 --> 00:33:42,395
-Plant your feet. It moves pretty fast.
-Oh, no.
726
00:33:42,478 --> 00:33:45,148
And there's a bunch of knives up there,
so be careful.
727
00:33:45,231 --> 00:33:46,441
Oh my God!
728
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:47,942
All right, Cake Wall, spin!
729
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:49,694
-Oh!
-Whoa!
730
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:51,070
Goodbye, judges!
731
00:33:51,154 --> 00:33:52,280
Bye!
732
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,948
[Mikey] See? It's not that bad.
733
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,408
Bye.
734
00:33:55,491 --> 00:33:57,660
[Jon screams] Let go of me!
735
00:33:57,744 --> 00:33:59,704
It opens up to a slide.
736
00:34:00,913 --> 00:34:05,710
Nina and Jonny, I'm sorry, guys.
This is definitely the hard part.
737
00:34:05,793 --> 00:34:08,671
We haven't had to do this before.
And it sucks.
738
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:11,716
Uh, you have been eliminated
from the competition, guys.
739
00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:14,761
Please take your seats in the gallery,
740
00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:17,972
where they will welcome you with hugs.
741
00:34:18,473 --> 00:34:22,518
Your rhinestone glasses
are filling with tears.
742
00:34:22,602 --> 00:34:24,520
-A little emotional?
-Yeah.
743
00:34:24,604 --> 00:34:26,647
-Yeah.
-Awesome.
744
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,066
[laughs]
745
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:29,484
[Mikey] Why so emotional?
746
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:31,569
I'm just… Uh…
747
00:34:31,652 --> 00:34:33,571
You know, I'm always, like, the weirdo
748
00:34:33,654 --> 00:34:37,116
and the oddball
who people don't take seriously.
749
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,284
[Andrew chuckles]
750
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:43,915
And I'm just not used to being
the one that people consider the best.
751
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:46,918
And it's crazy 'cause
these are incredibly talented people,
752
00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:51,255
and I just feel incredibly honored.
I'm just totally surprised.
753
00:34:51,339 --> 00:34:54,258
-Don't make us cry now.
-I'm sorry!
754
00:34:54,342 --> 00:34:56,302
-[April] What are you doing?
-I love you guys.
755
00:34:56,385 --> 00:34:59,514
All right, Andrew. This could be
the last time you ever get to do this,
756
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:01,432
so let's make it count.
757
00:35:01,516 --> 00:35:08,106
For the third time,
it's time to play Cake… or Cash?
758
00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:15,947
Andrew, you just won $5,000.
759
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:19,992
So that means
you've won a total of $30,000
760
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:22,245
-in this competition so far.
-[whooping]
761
00:35:22,328 --> 00:35:23,955
Unreal.
762
00:35:24,038 --> 00:35:26,874
Last time you played this,
you won 15 grand.
763
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:30,378
This time, you could win $5,000.
764
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:32,463
On the other side
of that cake wall, Andrew,
765
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:35,967
are two presents wrapped in money.
766
00:35:36,050 --> 00:35:37,510
-Okay, buddy?
-Okay, buddy.
767
00:35:37,593 --> 00:35:40,429
Cake Wall! Show us what you got.
768
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,392
One of these presents is filled with cash,
769
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:46,185
and the other one is,
770
00:35:46,269 --> 00:35:48,312
and I'm only gonna say this once,
771
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:49,397
is cake.
772
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,066
If you guess the cake, you get the cash.
773
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:55,153
You have 15 seconds to decide
774
00:35:55,862 --> 00:35:59,365
which one of those is cake.
775
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,826
And your time starts now.
776
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:04,287
[tense music playing]
777
00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:05,288
[sighs]
778
00:36:06,998 --> 00:36:08,958
[Andrew] I just have no idea.
779
00:36:10,084 --> 00:36:10,960
I have no idea.
780
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:15,798
[beeping]
781
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:17,508
[Mikey] Six seconds.
782
00:36:17,592 --> 00:36:20,761
-Five, four, three, two, one.
-[rapid beeping]
783
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:22,805
-Lock in your answer! Time's up.
-[bell dinging]
784
00:36:22,889 --> 00:36:24,849
[clapping, whooping]
785
00:36:24,932 --> 00:36:26,976
You picked Number One.
786
00:36:27,476 --> 00:36:31,189
I'm looking at those,
and they look identical.
787
00:36:31,272 --> 00:36:32,815
Tell me why you picked Number One.
788
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:36,319
I don't know. The bow is a different bow,
789
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:38,738
but that doesn't mean
that it's not a real bow.
790
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:41,449
-I have no idea.
-[Mikey] Let's go see if you're right.
791
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,869
If Number One is cake,
you win another $5,000.
792
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:49,207
I've seen them both,
been told which one is cake.
793
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:52,460
Standing right here,
don't know which one is cake.
794
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:53,794
You chose Number One.
795
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:59,550
If this is cake,
you will win another $5,000.
796
00:37:00,134 --> 00:37:02,929
[exhales] Let's see if you're right.
797
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:05,723
-[tense music playing]
-[laughs evilly]
798
00:37:05,806 --> 00:37:06,849
Oh my gosh!
799
00:37:06,933 --> 00:37:08,559
[tense music continues]
800
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:14,690
-Oh.
-[Mikey groans]
801
00:37:14,774 --> 00:37:17,193
Not cake.
802
00:37:17,276 --> 00:37:18,653
I'm sorry, Andrew.
803
00:37:18,736 --> 00:37:22,490
And when it's not cake, it dies.
804
00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:23,908
[laughs]
805
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:26,494
Should we just have some fun
and cut the real cake?
806
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:27,536
Sure.
807
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:29,205
All right, you cake.
808
00:37:31,332 --> 00:37:32,917
Oh, yeah.
809
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,586
-[Andrew] Wow.
-[Mikey] Oh, yeah. Look at that.
810
00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:37,713
That's a beauty.
811
00:37:38,673 --> 00:37:39,882
Here's the good news.
812
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:43,844
You've won $30,000
so far in the competition, buddy.
813
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:47,890
And you're our first baker
moving on to the finale.
814
00:37:47,974 --> 00:37:49,141
How are you feeling?
815
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:51,102
Relieved and tired.
816
00:37:51,185 --> 00:37:52,561
And overwhelmed.
817
00:37:52,645 --> 00:37:57,441
Now, you get to sit back and watch as the
six remaining bakers play Find That Cake
818
00:37:57,525 --> 00:38:02,822
to determine the next three people
trying to join you in the finale.
819
00:38:02,905 --> 00:38:04,115
-Wow.
-[Mikey] Well done.
820
00:38:04,198 --> 00:38:07,910
I'm Mikey Day, and, uh… this is Aight.
821
00:38:07,994 --> 00:38:08,995
[bakers laughing]
822
00:38:09,078 --> 00:38:12,290
Andrew! You did aight! You did aight.
823
00:38:12,373 --> 00:38:13,541
[Hemu] Did aight!
824
00:38:13,624 --> 00:38:14,667
Are you guys excited?
825
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:16,794
-Yeah.
-[Mikey] Oh my God. This is lukewarm!
826
00:38:16,877 --> 00:38:18,254
[bakers laugh]
827
00:38:20,423 --> 00:38:22,591
[closing theme music playing]
