Fox: 8p/7c
Fox One: Next day
Host: Gordon Ramsay with Marino Montefiore, James Avery & Michelle Tribble

Twenty chefs from twenty states will compete for $250,000 and the kitchen at Hell’s Kitchen Foxwoods Resort & Casino.

These chefs have been selected from a pool of 50 representing the nifty 50 states. Now they will have to prove their mettle in…

SKILLS CHALLENGE #1: SIGNATURE DISH CHALLENGE. You have 45 minutes to make your signature dish and put yourself on the map. Dishes will be graded from 1 to 5. The team with the highest score wins.
- TIED at 38. The tiebreaker would go to the chef with the best dish. That would be… LISA!
WINNER: RED TEAM

For your reward, you’ll have a day on a yacht. Meanwhile, for punishment, the men will have to prep both kitchens for dinner service, including tables, chairs, AND linens.

And you better be quick, because Hell’s Kitchen will be open NEXT WEEK.

It's a family feud today as father takes on son. On the panel today... Chef Michael Symon & tennis ace Madison Keys.

ROUND 1: Twenty minutes to work with EGGPLANT. Which generation will get egg.... plant on his face?
- Peter: Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce and Grille DEggplant Parmesan
- Preston: Eggplant Baba Ghanoush with Grilled Eggplant Rollatini
WINNER: Preston

ROUND 2: PReston challenges Bobby to make... KALBI. And because Bobby is nothing if not a sportsman, Peter will be on hand to help Preston. On the panel, chef/owner of Nowon Restaurants Jae Lee, chef/owner/big momma Kjun Jae Jung, and chef/restaurateur Michael Lomonaco.
- Preston/Peter: Marinated Kalbi with Kimchi Rice, Corn Ribs and Smashed Cucumber
- Bobby: Marinated Kalbi with Gochujang SAuce and Crispy Kimchi Rice
WINNER... by a split decision.... Bobby Flay.

THE STORY SO FAR! The Mastermind’s Month of Mayhem is coming to a heady climax as HOH Vince nominated Ava & Keanu. Keanu was eliminated by a 2-0 decision.

HOH COMPETITION: Forensiscope. Maneuver a cube cage around a platform to match evidence symbols that are on specific sides of the cube. The first to three points wins.
- WINNER: Morgan Pope.

That would guarantee that the Judges alliance would make it to the final three.

NOMINATION CEREMONY:
- NOMINATED: Ava Pearl, Ashley Hollis

FINAL POWER OF VETO: Organized Crime. Correctly place the “crimes” of the season in chronological order as they happened.
- WINNER: Morgan Pope.

It was a foregone conclusion that, to protect Vince, Morgan would not use the Power of Veto. However, Vince jokes that he would “be dominating the second half of the season if Morgan wasn’t here.”

… “Lauren would have been just as good.”

You know, Vince… when you’re eating humble pie, you seldom go back for seconds.

VETO/LIVE EVICTION: As expected, Morgan elected NOT to use the Power of Veto, which meant that Ava and Ashley’s future would land in the hands of Vince. God help him. Ava used her time to tell Vince not to contact her after the show.
- EVICTED: Ava Pearl

There we have it. The final three of Morgan Pope, Vince Panaro, and Ashley Hollis. Sunday will see one of them get a check for $750,000. But first… a look back at the season, plus a look at the Jury House and the first part of the final HOH.

ROUND 1: They take on supermarket shoppers, line cutters, dating couples, couples with tweens, resolution breakers, and resolution keepers. Both teams sweep for 750.

ROUND 2: Next up, name forgetters, chatty people, chefs, and home cooks. We’re tied still at 1250.

FAST FLIPS: Jenny & Kelly take the lead to win, 2650-2350.

FLIP FIVE: We asked PARENTS… Christmas is great, but I could do without… the all-sugar diet, late-night toy assembly, forgetting hidden gifts, that one Christmas song, ugly sweater parties, being outgifted, waking up at dawn, my kids not going to school, the credit card bill, or getting socks every year?
- Late-night toy assembly… RIGHT!
- Waking up at dawn… RIGHT!
- My kids not going to school… Strike one.
- Credit card bill… NUMBER ONE!
- That one Christmas song… RIGHT!
- Being outgifted… WINNER!

When we last left our Insiders, Alissa & Bre were in the elimination zone. The Insiders from the challenge are voting on who will be eliminated. If they don't come to a consensus... they will lose money from the pot, which is now $674,600. Give or take.
- ELIMINATED: Alissa.

Bre is looking to make deals with the guys, thinking Sydney and Ekin-Su are after her.

Back to Lights Out. This time, for the men.
- Zach: Dwight... CORRECT.
- Sketch: Mark.... no, wait, Max.... no, wait, Mark.... no, Max. Yeah, that's wrong.

Now MArk, Max, and Zach have to vote on who's going home.
- ELIMINATED: Sketch.

The Girls alliance is starting to wear thin. Now we're looking at Sydney, MArk, and Zach vs. Aisha, Dwight & Fannita.

Dinner is ready... Beans & Rice. Anything more, it's going to cost you. Also, it is no longer permitted to share meal upgrades, if you do, you will be charged a premium. Because of course.

Zach wants to shoot his shot with Sydney. Elsewhere in the house, talk turns to "body count".

CHALLENGE: Insider Auction. You will be bidding on immunity from the next elimination, using money from the prize fund. The Insider with the highest bid will be immune. BUt if TWO Insiders match their winning bid, you will be charged, but no one will be immune. In addition, from here on out, there will be no communication. FOr every spoken word, $5000 will be taken from the prize fund, which right now stands at $693,600.....
- PRIZE POT: ... $446,000.

The bids must be between $1 and $200,000.
- Aisha: $50
- Dwight: $5.
- EKin-Su: $55
- Fannita: $60,000
- Mark: $2.
- Zach: "Give me $1, Bob Barker."
- Sydney: $1
- Bre: $200,000
IMMUNE: Bre

It's the next day!

CBS: 10a/9C or 3p/2C
Host: Wayne Brady with Jonathan Mangum, Tiffany Coyne & Cat Gray

The gateway to the weekend begins with Phantom Tyler (videographer), who gets $1200 or he can have Curtain #3. He goes for the Curtain, getting… a home theater worth $5400! Next, princess Diggi (San Diego entrepreneur) gets $1000 unless she wants to buy a small box. She wants the money, and she gives up boat shoes (ZONK!). 80s chick Robyn (personal trainer) gets the leftovers - $1200 – unless she wants the gift bag. She takes the bag, and she gets… a trip to Argentina (5n @ Buenos Aires) worth $11,403!

CAR PONG: Gorilla Mike (Pilates & dance instructor) is playing for a NISSAN SENTRA worth $24,550! He gets a shot to earn 15 more seconds by identifying which of these albums are in Beyonce’s discography…
- Beyonce, Lemonade, Evermore, Cowboy Carter
Lemonade… Cowboy Carter… Beyoncé… that’s 20 seconds total! But will he give up $500 for a shot at the car? Yep. He ends up with… $1750.

I’M DRAWN TO YOU: Tradwife Frances (Woodland Hills, CA; retired secretary) meets two men: American taekwondo guy Shant (behavioral therapist) & Mario Chris (caregiver). The men have to draw their favorite meal. Frances likes Shant’s burger for $1000. Chris gets $100. Frances and Shant both have $1000. They can spend it on Curtain #1. Frances takes the money, giving up ZORILLA’s banana-go-round. Shant’s option: the Big Box… He wants the box, and $1000 buys him a motorcycle! It’s a Yamaha worth $4999!

Kangaroo Amanda (San Jacinto, CA; registered dental assistant) has a chance at $10,000 in a variant on the Diamond Hunt. One of seven numbers has $500, one has $1000, one has WIN. The other four are Zonks. Wayne needs three things.
- Tissues? NO.
- Headphones? NO.
- Glasses? Got those.
#6… GONE. She picks #3. Sure thing behind Curtain #1, a $3000 Nordstrom shopping spree! She takes the shot at it. Behind #3… $500! The big money was #4.

Showgirl Alison (Menifee, CA; bartender) gets a box of $20s. She can take it if she can guess how much is in it within $300. She goes $3220. She can take $500 to call off the deal or take Curtain #2. She wants the curtain. In the box… $4300. Behind the curtain… a new kitchen worth $7745!

IMPROV BATTLE: Ronald (Warner Robins, GA; retired coach) gets a small box… and a tiny box. Wayne’s small box (delivered in the style of… Tiffany’s Choice – kid’s song) is something that you use on your back when you’re sore. Jonathan’s Tiny Box “looks good” and has “fossils”. Ronald picks the Tiny Box. In the small box… massages for a year worth $4400. In the Tiny Box… $500 to call off the deal? Nope. He gets a tiny T-rex in a tutu (ZONK!). Ronald: “Go Dawgs!” Jonathan: “Roll Tide”. You and your SEC talk…

EXTREME CLOSEUP: Last one before the big one involves Butterfly Lisa getting $500 and a shot at more identifying… a horse, lipstick, and an Oreo cookie for $1500 more. Now an envelope worth $2000. She wants it, and $2000 buys her a Weekend Getaway (Laguna Beach) worth $3015!

TODAY’s BIG DEAL is worth $23,358: Alison trades in her kitchen for a door. She takes Door #1.
- Behind Door #3… a new barbecue worth $4744.
- Behind HER door… a new bedroom worth $7197 (almost an even trade)
- The BIG DEAL was behind Door #2… a trip to Amsterdam (5n) and EVERYTHING IN THE BIG DEAL.

Last time, we named the semifinals as one chef was eliminated before service and another – Joaquin – had to surrender a Pin, putting him level pegging with the others.

It’s the next day! And today, you’re going to be tested on the nuance of fine dining at the American Bounty.

SEMIFINALS TEST: Plan, create, and execute a fine dining entrée… and make a soufflé. You have six hours to prep today and two hours to serve. In the end, THREE of the final six will be going home.

And London… still no idea what he wants before the end of the day…

It’s the next day, and London is learning the hard way that a failure to plan is a plan for failure. He let this particular test get inside his head and did not have a cohesive vision for a plate that would scream fine dining in front of a panel that expects him to deliv…
- London: Salmon with Mushrooms, Mixed Squash, Mussels & Thai Sauce / Rhubarb Soufflé with Strawberry Juice

… well never mind, then.

On the panel for this service: chefs Kwame Onuachi ’13 (London actually applied to work with him) and Daniel Boulud (Andrew actually worked for him).

PIN CEREMONY: As a reminder, only three pins will be given and their chefs will move to the final exam…
- ADVANCING: Courtney Evans, Andrew Sargent, Ilke Schaaf

For London, Nikki, and Joaquin… it’s only so close…

Where 21 once stood, now only the final three remain. One of these chefs will win half a million and the title of Next Gen Chef. But we’re not done. Kwame and Daniel have decided to award an extra pin to the best dish…
