8:11 p.m. – For tonight, the chefs will be making an elevated noodle dish with a protein on top. The ingredient grab definitely caused some drama. The winner not only gets to move to the Top Level next week, but also a Time Token bonus, which lets them either add time to their ingredient grab or take away time from a rival.
8:20 p.m. – The chefs are busy cooking their dishes. Christian is very confident with his cook tonight, so it makes me think he will be at the bottom!
8:30 p.m. – The time runs out, and time for the chefs to get their dish on the platform. We go to a commercial break, as it looks like Gabrielle may be too late to the platform!
8:41 p.m. – Gabrielle did make it to the platform in time. The judges have tasted all of the dishes. Now they are discussing the winning and losing dishes.
8:48 p.m. – The winner tonight is Cole, who gets the Time Token bonus. She will be joined on the Top Level next week with Darian. The bottom three chefs are Danielle, Christian, and Andy. They will face off in the Elimination Cook-Off.
Elimination Cook-Off
8:53 p.m. – The bottom three have their ingredients. They are now working on their dishes, as tasting is coming soon.
9:01 p.m. – The time moves quickly, as the chefs are working on their plating. Time for the chefs to taste these dishes:
- Christian – They said the plate works. Great sear on the protein and seasoned beautifully. The sauce is odd.
- Andy – It looks beautiful and looks inviting. They love the heat on the cod, and it’s cooked beautifully. It’s a vibrant sauce.
- Danielle – The scallops are cooked beautifully. The gravy is not good for her.
Results – The vote takes place, and both Nyesha and Gordon vote to eliminate the scallop dish, which is Danielle’s dish. She was the final home chef left in the competition.
