Cinnamon Roll-er
Coaster June 2 |
|
They say that a long-form reality game show
on television is a lot like a roller coaster, with twists & turns, highs
& lows, and a lot of surprises. Well tonight's edition of MasterChef,
which comes on the heels of Mateo & Brianna's ouster, has us beat,
because it has an actual roller coaster. Today's show begins at a favorite spot of GSNN's... Knott's Berry Farm. ROUND 1 TEAM CHALLENGE: A Day at the Park - The contestants will choose their own teams. Kerry (Red) & Darah (Blue) will serve as captains. - They will feed everyone who comes through the park gates. - On the menu: burgers & onion rings and fish & chips. - Winners as determined by visitor vote will be safe from the Pressure Test - 90 minutes to prep The Reds are going classic barbecue flavors & Cajun fish. The Blues are going with battered fish and a classic all-American burger. Five minutes left... and there's no fish on that station. With hundreds of people coming. The teams' dishes: RED (Kerry): Classic Burger with Panko Crusted Onion Rings & Lime Sriracha Ketchup / Cajun Fish & Chips. BLUE (Darah): Cheeseburger with Beer Battered Onion Rings & Chipotle Mayonnaise / Beer Battered Fish & Chips As a reminder: at least 500 people will stop and sample their wares. If they have to wait 10 seconds for a portion, they're going to leave without a vote. Kerry has zero onion rings, because while he's on every other station, he's not on his. Meanwhile, Claudia's fish is raw, setting the Blue Team back. Down to the last one, and it's time to count the votes. WINNERS: by a vote of 59% to 41%... RED TEAM! Which means that the Blue Team, once they're done clearing up, is going to go to the first Pressure Test. The good news is that only five will have to compete. As Team Captain, Darah has the final say. She saves Ailsa, Claudia, Sara, Dan, ... and Hetal, though she refuses, giving her opportunity to Derrick. ROUND 1 PRESSURE TEST: Cinnamon Rolls - Everyone is given the exact same ingredients for basic cinnamon rolls - A limited pantry is available - 45 minutes to prepare a dozen cinnamon rolls The judges are in awe of the people that Darah chose to save, as there is no reason for Katrina to be in the Pressure Test. On the other hand, they are impressed to see that Hetal had enough integrity not to take Darah's free pass. Perfect cinnamon rolls are in the oven with an even thickness in the pastry 15 minutes in. They take 25 minutes to get to that perfect texture. ... Tommy does not have that timing down. He's toast. While your rolls are cooking, it's time to concentrate on your topping. Could be as basic as a sugar-cream-cheese concoction or as complex as candied pecans. - Darah: Anise-Flavored Rolls with Lemon-Zest/Clove Icing. Raw. Overbearing flavors. - Hetal: Chai-Latte Cinnamon Roll with Pecans. Strong effort. - Katrina: Rosemary Raisin Rolls with Lemon Zest Frosting. Unique flavor. - Olivia: Rum Raisin Cinnamon Bun with Pecans & Orange Glaze. Uneven, but memorable. - Tommy: Green Tea Cinnamon Bun with a commercial between us and the carnage, you bastards. Visually, it's a mess. But it tastes decent. Winner: Hetal. Hard choice amongst those remaining? ELIMINATED: DARAH. Tommy gets another chance and is damn thankful for the opportunity.
