Round 2: Heat 2 Last week, we went from cooking for the Marines to cooking a lamb's head. After all that, we're down to 14. Who'll survive the next cut? Let's wake up the players and find out... TEAM CHALLENGE #2: Breakfast Inside the Radisson where everyone is sleeping, the judges decide to give a 3am wake-up call. Well, make that 3:30. Because a Masterchef must be ready to cook at a moment's notice, all of the cooks are ordered downstairs for the Team Challenge... at 4:15. The challenge is working the early rush and cooking ALL of the room service breakfast orders. It's the hardest service of the day. People are hungry and in a hurry, so we're keeping it quick and simple with oatmeal, fruit salad, pancakes, egg-white omelette, eggs Benedict, and two eggs any style. Christine and Josh had the best dishes last round, so they will be captains. And because Christine won the Innovation Test, she'll go first. BLUE: Josh Marks
(C), Becky Reams, Frank
Mirando, Anna Rossi, Monti Carlo, David Martinez, Tali Clavijo ... shut up, Ryan. Christine gets another advantage. She can switch out one member of her team for another on the red. She switches out Ryan for Becky. You have 90 minutes to prep and 90 to serve. Assign one team member as an expediter. Christine picks Felix, while Josh picks Monti. Each team will have 130 orders. The rooms will hang tags based on whose team they are most satisfied with. Least tags goes to a Pressure Test. While Monti spends most of her time yelling, Christine is worried about Felix's silence. It's now 7am, and service begins... and both teams are suffering from a breakdown. At 7:30... it's not any better. Well, it's a little better. Blue Team is moving rooms, while Felix is... still silent. "If we lose today, it'll be my head on the breakfast platter." Rule number one of the expediter: communicate. The moment you stop, it's over. Meanwhile, the Blues are getting good reviews from the rooms, while the Reds run out of Hollandaise. Christine starts to get vocal. At the same time, Gordon notices that standards on the Blue Team are slipping. In fact, one plate is sent back with a hair on it. And the entire team dynamic on the Blues is falling apart and threatening to destroy any chance of victory from within. And that's time. THAT'S TIME, FELIX! STOP SERVING! Felix admits that if the Reds lost today, it would be her fault. So who is the winner? By a total of 60% to 40%, the winner... is.... .... THE RED TEAM! PRESSURE TEST #2: Molten Lava Cake It's a dessert that has the properties of a cake and a souffle. Timing is crucial and so is portioning. Everything has to be exact, and in the end, there has to be that gooey goodness of molten chocolate. But before we get baking, the judges decide that three will not be cooking. Those three... David... (Shutup, Ryan!), Frank, and Monti. Everyone else will have 45 minutes to cook up to four cakes. If at any moment you think you've nailed it, bring it up and be judged. .... seriously. Shutup, Ryan.... His cake... diarrhea'ed on the plate. Tali is the first to serve. And his becomes the standard, even with too much ooze. Anna's on the other hand.... is served perfectly. Josh's cake... is a sight to behold as well. It's all riding on one final cake from Ryan. More... Diarrhea. Needless to say, he's going home tonight. SHUT UP, RYAN. Down to the last 13, so who's going to win it? Of course everyone thinks THEY are going to win. We'll see...
