Read at your own risk: This article contains spoilers for MasterChef Season 10.
The most recent episode of MasterChef Season 10 puts the top 10 at new risks of losing everything in the competition. Of course, just like any episodes, it started with a challenge. But it came with a hugely surprising twist this time.
The cooks were divided into two teams bringing Jamie, Micah, Subha, Sarah, Ramiah, and Dorian against Noah, Shari, Bri, Fred, and Nick. The latter group lost the challenge. And this means that they will be competing against each other for the Elimination Challenge.
As for the twist, the winning team will pick one from their group who will be joining the Elimination Challenge. This means that this cook will face a huge risk of getting eliminated in the end.
Micah, being the Team Captain of the team, chose Subha due to his disobedience during the primary tasks. Therefore, Micah, Sarah, Ramiah, and Dorian did not need to compete. In short, they were all safe from the elimination.
According to On The Fix, the elimination round was revealed to be a very challenging one since the main ingredients would only include Filet Mignon, Shellfish, and Black Truffle. And the cooks were tasked to complete one great dish according to the given ingredients.
But before the challenge has begun, Gordon Ramsay demonstrated what he would do with the ingredients. And he came up with a quick Surf and Turf Truffle dish which he did in a very short period. And quite amusingly, everyone was impressed, especially Bri.
Upon seeing Gordon's demonstration, the six cooks went on to work on their dishes. And as they prepare, cook, and plate their supposedly "winning" dishes, the judges - Gordon, Joey, and Aaron went around to check with the cooks along with their planned dishes.
Monsters and Critics stated that almost all cooks received criticisms for their dishes. With Bri's lack of Black Truffle incorporation, Shari's surprising move on the challenge, and the other's "mediocre" dishes, almost everyone thought that Bri would be eliminated.
But as it turned out, Fred served the judges with a raw filet mignon. And this is something unacceptable, especially for Gordon Ramsay. When the judges pointed out his mistake on the filet, everyone already knew that his time would be up. And so it did.
Fred Chang got eliminated, which saves Bri on the verge of the competition. Even so, she will live another day to compete for MasterChef Season 10's title.
MasterChef Season 10 Episode 18 titled, Mind Blowing Food, will air on August 14, on Fox.
