'Dimension 20' Cast Test Their Basic Culinary Skills

[Presenter] The cast of, Dimension 20,

will be competing in challenges

testing basic culinary skills.

Each round reveals the weakest link.

Who is the strongest to survive?

[lively music]

[bright music]

[Narrator] SACK, you are a hungry wanderer.

Carefully try to fill your sack

with exactly one pound of food.

Oh no, not imperial.

[Narrator] When time is up, you will weigh your bounty.

Two points for who is closest

without going over. Oh no.

Well this is without going.

[Narrator] Last place or going over

gets you zero points, ready?

I'm ready, ready. No.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Some things

are weightier than others. Interesting.

How much is a pound, 16 ounces?

That's right, right?

Nobody's talking to me 'cause they're really hyper-focused.

Whose strategy is mixing up the foods?

That's crazy.

I'm just gonna stop there.

What?

Don't look at my food, don't you ever look at my food.

I'm afraid I went over. Is this edible?

I'm so scared.

Hands off, hands off.

Oh.

And knives down.

I'm cooked, I did this wrong.

Put all the potatoes in there.

You put every potato?

Well, except the biggest.

I couldn't have a clue at all.

Guys, it's time to shut up.

It's time to shut up.

I'm about to measure this.

My strategy was all strawberries, that's it.

Stop thinking about it.

And here we go.

That's four pounds, what's that, 4.95.

Four ounces, I feel great.

This feels great, I'm at 7.56.

Oh [beep] can we curse?

I can put in a whole nother three potatoes

in here and been good.

Okay, 5.8, tough.

Feels great.

I might go over, I can't tell.

I just put all the potatoes in.

I don't think you will.

6.66, that's crazy. [Siobhan chuckles]

It's literally 6.66.

Time out, I don't feel safe.

Those are the devil's potatoes.

The devil's potatoes.

[tone dings]

[tone dings]

[tone dings]

[tone bangs]

It is been a while since I've been in any scenario at all

where I had to weigh food.

And I was going by what in my head I called heft

and putting all the strawberries in the bag

had a surprising amount of heft to me.

Could I whip that at something?

Yeah, and to me that meant a pound

and I really realized I have to step up my game

and I'm gonna do that right now.

[Narrator] Cheese, you are a keen sniffer.

Blindfolded, each player smells one cheese at a time.

First to shout correct answer gets a point.

Got this.

I got this.

[Narrator] Only one guess permitted.

Five cheeses to smell, ready?

Can I ask how much money Siobhan paid you guys?

Yeah, totally.

Stack the deck against us. To have all our

culinary training come down to this.

All cheese looks the same though.

What?

[dramatic music]

[Ally] I can't find it.

[dramatic music continues]

Cheddar, [beep] American cheddar,

not cheddar from my country.

The next cheese is gonna definitely be some cheddar

with whatever it is.

[contestants laughs]

[dramatic music]

[Zach] Brie?

Parmesan!

[beep] .

Parmesano regiano. Parmesano.

Oh, that's good, I feel like I'm David Lynch.

You feel like David Lynch? Everyone's going so fast

that I just

yelled out a cheese. David Lynch would end

every night in a little morsel of cheese

that his wife would hand him straight into his palm.

That's really cute.

What the [beep] are you talking about?

Dude, read a book, how about that?

[dramatic music]

[Siobhan] Brie, no, [beep].

Gorgonzola.

Blue cheese.

Gorgonzola was way off.

We don't have to cover it if we have blindfolds on.

[dramatic music]

[beep] It's mine.

Gouda! He stole mine!

That's not fair.

Who did that?

That's a Gouda job.

Zach fully stole my piece of cheese.

Yeah, you gotta keep your elbows up in cheese game.

I'm just saying you have no proof.

[dramatic music]

Brie. Goat cheese.

Camembert.

Brie.

Is this a allowed* I know, I already guessed.

This is soft cheese.

Oh, is it Borsalino?

Oh, it feels like Borsalino.

What's the other one

that's like stinkier? Is that brie?

Or bratwurst?

What are some other cheeses?

Salami?

[button buzzes]

[Presenter] Taleggio was the correct answer.

I knew it was taleggio.

You liar.

I've been saying that.

Fabulous. Great.

You need me up there?

[quirky music]

Look, there's no easy way to say this.

I failed you again.

I couldn't think of any cheeses.

I really panicked out there.

I'm sorry, it won't happen again.

I'll see you in a little bit.

[bright music]

[Narrator] Whisk, you are a magical whisker.

Pour the cream into the bowl.

Then, with your whisk,

turn the liquid into a semi-solid.

Oh.

[Narrator] First to hold the bowl upside down

over their head with no spills earns two points.

Last to finish get zero points.

What is that, stiff peaks?

Yeah, stiff peaks. Yeah, yeah.

[Narrator] Scores will be tallied after this round.

Top two move on.

Bottom two are eliminated, ready?

Stiff peaks, what is that?

[Ally] You're about to find out.

[dramatic music]

Do you have to do all of it?

Okay, I did all of it.

[whisks whirs]

Not gonna make it.

I'm not gonna make it.

What the [beep]!

I've been gay for a long time.

What are you, what, how did you do that?

[tone dings]

Ooh, wait, what did you all?

That doesn't make a lick of sense.

Here is what you did, this. Yeah.

This is the movement that you want back and forth.

[triumphant music]

[Narrator] Zach and Brennan are eliminated.

[Siobhan] Oh wow.

Are you [beep] kidding me?

Hey man, yeah, you're gonna wanna go this way.

This is the route I usually take.

I'm coming into the locker room after we lost the game.

We put a really solid effort in at the very end

and we just couldn't bring it home.

All the Zach Heads out there, I'm sorry.

Brennan, how you feeling?

Are you crying?

In real life, are you crying?

I didn't know that whipped cream

would be one of them, of the challenges

and I would've done things differently.

I wasn't anywhere near close.

I have nothing to learn from what happened.

I should just go home.

[tone bangs]

[Narrator] Stew, you are a master taster.

Taste the 15 ingredients stew inside of the cauldron.

Correctly guess one ingredient at a time.

Klemroot?

[Narrator] Incorrect guesses get you a strike.

Two strikes and you are out.

And those are like real foods, right?

Klemroot and sherry.

They're really common foods, Brennan.

It's weird that you don't know them.

[Narrator] If you need call in help

from an eliminated player.

The winner of the challenge is dubbed

the culinary battle champion, ready?

Good game.

Hey, good game.

[Zach] Feel the stonewear it's quite warm.

Ooh.

[Narrator] The stew is comprised of over 15 ingredients.

I'm kind of just hungry.

Think I'm gonna say tomato.

Parsley.

It might come outta Brennan's nose

if we wanna get a closeup of that.

You freak, you freak, it's gonna come outta your nose.

Carrot.

The peanut gallery is not helping.

If we can have the peanut gallery step out.

Look, it's lunchtime.

You said celery?

Uh-uh.

I said celery,

Onion.

Parsnip.

Wow. Wow.

[Zach] Called the shot on parsnips.

I'm gonna call on one of the eliminated.

Which one? What'd you guys already say?

All right, I'm gonna answer myself.

I'm gonna say water. Ally?

That's what I was gonna say.

Got 'em, [beep] got 'em.

What, is that one of them?

That's crazy.

I don't know how to tell you this, man.

Water is one of them.

I don't know how to tell you this,

but it's definitely water. I don't know how

to tell you this, man.

Water is absolutely one of them.

As much as I would love to win on this technicality,

I'm gonna say water is one of them.

Okay, awesome.

Kidney beans.

What? Wow.

I got two kidney beans.

You're out here just digging around.

I can so help.

All right, I call on Brennan.

Hey Ally, you know what you got

a big heap and help over here?

Hmm?

Klemroot.

I call on Zach.

Salt?

Garlic.

Sweet potato?

Okay, rosemary?

[tone buzzes]

Ooh.

How many strikes did we get?

[beep] Oregano?

[tone dings]

Yes.

Damn, vegetable broth?

[tone dings]

Cannelini bean.

[tone dings]

You had a cannelini bean? I can't believe you.

I did. Thyme.

[tone dings]

[Ally] Wows.

This is my Top Chef dream.

[Interviewer] Any kind of pepper?

Okay, black pepper.

[tone buzzes]

Wow, yes. You win, you win.

Congratulations. Congrats.

What kind of pepper?

[Interviewer] Red pepper.

Wow, what? Damn.

I was like searching through.

[somber music]

Some people might say I lost here today,

but ultimately I got to eat delicious soup with my friends.

And so who's the real loser here?

I would say the people who didn't get to eat soup.

Wow, thanks, that soup was really good.

I just really appreciate everyone's work here on set today.

It's really cool.

Nothing really films in Los Angeles anymore.

[everyone chuckles]
