Round of 9: Love's Labours Lost
September 1

Last time, Sharone couldn't run with an Iron Chef, and neither could Faruq, as he was eliminated. Then at the field challenge, a few bad burgers left Tony with a bad taste in HIS mouth, leaving only nine to compete for $250,000 and the title. Today, romance rules the day...

MYSTERY BOX

Inside this Mystery Box today... cucumber, apples, tomatoes, prosciutto, peanuts, and asparagus... NOT those, but they will need to be incorporated. With what? Crabs. Dungeness. ALIVE. That proves too much for Sheetal, as she grew up in a Hindu, vegetarian household. She cannot take a life of another living thing. So she's going into the challenge completely blind.  The good news... Gordon's killed one or two in his time, so what's another one. He does the honors.

... or not.

Slim has yet to cook her crab, and already she's cracking it. The flavor needs to stay in the crab, not ooze out on the chopping board.

Sheetal's crab is still alive. "If I'm going to kill an animal, I'd better do something amazing with it." How about a crab curry?

And Slim didn't finish her plate. Sheetal did.

The top three: Sharone with his Dungeness crab cucumber roll (Gordon wants more of it, telling him that he respected the ingredient), Lee's crab salad with gazpacho Andalouse (Graham: "You knocked this challenge out of the park"). and.... Sheetal's crab curry (Joe says it excels in its simplicity).

The winner... LEE! He'll have the advantage going into...

INVENTION TEST

Lee will choose the main ingredient from chocolate, passion fruit, or Italian burrata (mozzarella with ricotta and buttermilk on the inside).

The theme of this Invention Test... Romance. Lee's choice... PASSION FRUIT.

This may be a problem, as Whitney and Slim are currently single. Whitney hasn't dated anyone, while Slim... sucks at romance. And the hour starts... Remember... Think ROMANCE.

Sharone is pushing his luck with a sous-vide dish. The only problem: his vacuum will not seal. That's not good. He may not even finish in time.

Tracy's collards are starting to crisp up.

One more minute to make the passion fruit shine.

And TIME! Let's see what romance was conjured...

Sharone: Porcini Crusted Tenderloin with Candied Passion Fruit Rind.. sublime
Jake: Sexy Seared Filet Mignon with Passion Fruit Vinaigrette... yep, that's it.
Whitney: Passion Fruit Glazed Shrimp... Very amateur.
Tracy: Beef Tenderloin over Fingerling Potatoes... sci-fi-ish.
Sheetal: Shrimp with Savory Sauce... at least the plate is nice.
Slim: Passion Fruit Fondue ... Joe doesn't care what it is, he's not tasting it.
Mike: Beef Tataki... Raw... and wonderful
David: Spicy Saffron Shrimp with Passion Fruit Salsa... Very intellectual
Lee: Tenderloins and Prawns... propelling Lee to Masterchef status. Everyone has to have a taste of this.

The winner of this Invention Test... LEE.

In the bottom... not three... but four... ALL OF THE LADIES. All of their dishes were clunky and almost "truck stop like".

Turning in their apron and going home... SLIM.

Eight left... and we're just beginning to turn up the woo factor. Here's 10 seconds for station ID. We're back in a moment. This is "MasterChef" on Fox.
