- Banana.
- I'm Kwesi James, and I'm a nice fella.
From the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
A little bit of Caribbean inside of me, but a lot of enthusiasm.
- I've never eaten a Sloppy Joe in my life.
I don't know what a Sloppy Joe looks like.
To tell you the truth.
I think you guys picked the wrong person.
I've never even a Sloppy Joe in my life.
My parents are from the Caribbean.
We don't do Sloppy Joe.
All right, so this is what a Sloppy Joe...
Oh, that thing.
Okay, got it.
It's like a lazy hamburger, right?
That's what it is, right?
That's easy. I could do this.
I have confidence.
Believe in yourself.
I can do this.
You believe I can do this right?
- I'm thankful to be here, but I'm terrified to be here at the same time.
This is terrifying.
Terrifying.
- I'm not nervous at all.
- No reason to be.
- I’m brave!
- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah! - You’re a brave little boy.
- I’m brave!
- You’re brave! - I’m brave!
- So go on the other side, here.
- Give me positive energy.
- You got this.
- Oh, I've been on the show before, but I've been on this show only as a judge.
I don't bake.
I get baked.
- A donut without a hole in the middle...
...ain’t a donut! - It’s asinine.
- Asinine?
I love that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that’s the word of the day.
- Asinine. - Asinine.
- What do you do before you go and audition?
Do you do the word thing?
The apples, bananas, pears and fruits.
- That's exactly what I do.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Where was your seatbelt?
- Uh... (all laughing)
Can you see it?
- It’s like a whole thing!
- Oh, am I sweating?
- A little. - Yeah.
(all laughing)
- [Zach] Butter, there's maybe milk, and I wanna say there’s maybe egg.
- What does AP flour stand for?
- Wow. I feel like I just traveled back in time, and I'm with myself.
- All right.
- All purpose flour. - All purpose!
- We have ground beef and we have turkey.
Ground turkey.
Why do they call it grounded?
Does this look like the ground?
- I wonder, when does it need to go in here?
- To mix it.
I should help you.
- Aye there we go!
Yeah buddy!
- So cue the sad music right now.
Cue the sad music.
(screaming)
- Oh shit.
- Okay, nice and smooth back down.
(screaming) Woah!
(screaming)
- [Keith] Yeah!
(all cheering)
- I’m getting closer!
I’m getting closer, baby!
I’m getting closer!
- What is your opinion on salami?
- Uh, indifference.
- Indifference? - Yeah.
- Everything else sucked compared to Zack.
- Open your eyes. This is your guardian.
He's your angel.
- Hey, Kwesi.
- What up?
- He’s a fantastic angel.
- Wow.
You look good from this angle.
- Thanks, man!
Have you been working out?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you look good. - Thanks, dude.
- Whatever your guardian is going to ask you,
- Okay.
- You're going to do because he's your guardian.
He's going to protect you.
- What's your Social Security number?
- You see, now I’m sweating, man.
I’m nervous.
(laughing) Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
All right.
Calm down, Kwesi. You got this.
I don't want to do too much.
That's what I don't want.
I just wanna set it up for the guys.
They’re going to see that I started something,
and hopefully they can take the context clues and finish the job.
And again, this is not about cooking.
This is about helping the team.
Most important thing, put the wedding ring back on.
Wait, do you fry it?
Do you bake the Sloppy Joe?
You fry it.
You fry it, right?
(laughing)
All right.
Put the thing in the thing.
- Ooh, that's nice.
You're doing a good job, man.
Goodness gracious, man.
I want you to be slightly giggly and sort of titillated the entire time.
You're kind of into this, even though you're a little scared,
- Okay. - Even though you're a little scared,
but you're still kind of into this and maybe you're sort of slightly into me.
- Okay.
- I am not a Wiccan, and that is nothing like this.
Don't you want to get these people out of your house?
(laughing)
Oh, stop right there.
That's all I need to see.
- You wanna take a shot?
- Of...of alcohol?
- Yes, the whiskey?
- I'll watch you do it.
- Ah, nah, it’s all good.
(laughing) Yeah!
Uh, yeah. How about that bullet?
(laughing)
In the great name of Zach, mazel.
- Mazel. - Yeah.
- Hey! L’chaim!
- L’chaim all day.
I'm feeling confident now.
Can we make it sexy?
- You can make it as sexy as you want. - You can make it R&B?
- Yes. - How will it not be sexy?
- I’m talking about drapes.
I'm talking about silk.
I’m talking we can make it...
- I'm curious to see what that's going to look like.
- Maybe slow it down.
- Oh, you can't do that.
- Oh, can’t do that.
- Cannot do that.
- Got it, so, okay. So fast and sexy.
- And we going crazy with it!
(repeating “crazy with it”)
(slow motion distorted laughter)
Please close your eyes.
- Okay. I’m in.
Imagine you're on a beach.
In the Caribbean.
Feel the Caribbean breeze
(laughing)
Now, you got a craving,
For a donut.
(growls)
- Ah, there it is!
- Took the note!
- Great. - Takes the note.
- All right. - Awesome.
- Thank you so much, Kwesi. - Absolutely. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
All right.
But one Caribbean word I want to teach you is the word vex.
If you–if I don’t win, I'm going to be vexed.
All right?
And vex...the definition of vexed is angry, pissed.
(growls vexed-ly)
- [Zach] I’m vexed.
- [Kwesi] You vexed?
- I’m very vexed, let me tell you.
- That’s the right word.
- We’re vexed right now!
We’re vexed!
I’m full vexed.

- Lean forward my leg then stomp on the pumpkin?
(screaming)
(Zach laughing) You f**king pumpkin!
- You got to use your leg.
Kwesi!
- F**k you, pumpkin!
(screaming)
- Kwesi, Kwesi!
- F**k you, pumpkin!
(screaming)
(all cheering)
Wow! F**k you, pumpkin!
♪ The whole being dead thing! ♪
(laughing) Big finish, yes!
- Gotta finish strong.
- My leg is dead now.
(laughing)
- Feel free to stretch the legs out.
- I believe the word you’re looking for is “asleep.”
- It’s asleep?
- It’s not “my leg is dead.”
(laughing) Yeah.
- Banana.
