Week 13 Begins
Tonight we are celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The chefs will be preparing cocktails and appetizers. We will provide updates as tonight’s episode airs, so keep refreshing this page to get the latest results!
8:11 p.m. – The chefs head to their floors. Cole opted to use her Time Token advantage for herself, so she added 10 seconds at the platform for herself. The ingredients have been grabbed, and it’s time to cook.
8:21 p.m. – The chefs are cooking. Midway through, the platform came down again. It contained alcohol, as the chefs will be making a cocktail to pair with their apps.
8:30 p.m. – The time is running down. The chefs are making cocktails. Christian is trying to add a sauce to his dish, but then he knocked it over, and 90% of it is on the floor now.
8:44 p.m. – We saw the judges taste all of the dishes. They are now discussing the results. Richard and Gordon are torn, with Nyesha needing to be the deciding vote.
8:54 p.m. – Results – The two standout dishes tonight come from Connor and Cole, with Connor being the winner of the Time Token this week. The two dishes cooking in the Elimination Cook-Off come from Gabrielle and Christian.
Elimination Cook-Off
For this challenge, the chefs will be tasked with making an American classic: a burger and fries. The burger needs to hold its own in a high-end restaurant. It needs to really celebrate America. They will have 25 minutes to cook their burger and fries.
The platform comes down, and they get their ingredients. Gabrielle is looking for mayo, but can’t find it. Christian took it already. They are making their burgers and getting things in order. Without the mayo, Gabrielle’s sauce is not working out. She needs to come up with a new plan with five minutes left. Darian helped from the sidelines for her to get it fixed. The time runs out, and time to taste the dishes:
- Christian – Nyesha said the seer is inconsistent. The sauce is great, and the fries are good. Richard said the burger is imbalanced and not many flavors.
- Gabrielle – Nyesha said beautiful presentation. Ricgard said the creativity is great. The meat is seasoned well, and great char on it. Nyesha said an interesting approach to it, but wanted a balance. It finished tangy.
Results – Nyesha and Ricard vote, and they vote to send home Christian. He has been eliminated from the competition.

I’m so glad he went home! He was an ass.
