Now that Suzanne has moved over to the Blue Team, Kevin basically told her that they don’t trust her or want her on the team. And the women confronted Sabrina about her weak services.
Chef Ramsay had a video message for the remaining chefs from the Araxi restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia. He had a challenge for them that would really determine who could head this restaurant. They had 15 fresh ingredients from the Whistler region and they needed to create three dishes using all of the ingredients but not repeating them.
Sabrina was being stupid and didn’t tell her teammates that the protein they were using was actually venison not lamb. Stupid, petty games will not win you a prize!
Sasha Cohen and Johnny Moseley, two major Olympians, helped Chef Ramsay to judge the dishes. For the first round, the Blue Team won wish their Salmon dish. Tennille messed herself up by introducing the dish as lamb instead of venison. Despite her mistake, the Red Team won that dish. The blue dish just barely eked out the competition. But neither teams did all that well with the ingredients.
For their punishment, the women on the Red Team had to clean up at a farm while the Blue Team met Mark Peele at his restaurant Campanile.
During dinner service, the teams got to create their own menus. They got to create three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts. The Blue Team was really happy with their menu but the Red Team was struggling. Van continued to mess up on his scallop dish and Ariel kept undercooking her pork ravioli.
Oh no! David hurt his left hand again and I really hope that this doesn’t send him home. He is one of the best chefs on this show.
Everyone seems to be messing up all over the place and I can’t believe that this is happening with only 7 chefs left. It doesn’t leave much confidence for any of them to be a head chef at a first rate restaurant. Because of the problems both teams had on the halibut, both kitchens were shut down early. Each team had to give nominate one person for elimination.
The Red Team nominated Sabrina and the Blue Team nominated Van. Chef Ramsay sent Sabrina home and for her I think it was only a matter of time. I did like her but I agree with his decision. Before they left, Chef told them that they would be facing their toughest challenge to date in the morning.
Now that they are into the final six, the Black Coats came out and now they were all one team. The chefs were challenged to recreate dishes simply from seeing and tasting a dish. They were paired in twos: Dave & Suzanne, Tennille & Kevin, and Ariel & Van. This is something I could never do – I would be horrible at figuring out what ingredients were in a dish and then recreating it!
The teams were really close with their dishes. It was pretty impressive on how they managed to do this and especially that all of them were really close. Dave & Suzanne ended up winning because they correctly guessed that the sauce had passion fruit in it. Suzanne was stupid and bragged about her win to the other chefs and Dave was smart enough to shush her!
While the other chefs prepped for dinner service and the special couple’s night, Dave and Suzanne visited Chef Ramsay’s LA restaurant and a meal prepped by Season 4 winner, Christina.
Kevin was designated to cook tableside during dinner service. Suzanne screwed up on her hot appetizers section which caused delay for Kevin while he was on tableside service. Van started sweating so much that it was dripping in the scallops he was preparing. Suzanne and Van kept messing up on the appetizers and slowing down the entrées. Tennille stepped up to the plate and ran the entrée station. Chef Ramsay just got so frustrated with Van’s inability to cook the halibut. Then Ariel burned her garnish and that seemed to be the last straw for Chef. He ended up leaving the kitchen and the restaurant in general with Sous Chef Scott. Not a good sign with the top six!
The chefs in the kitchen stepped up and Tennille took control of the entrée station again. Surprisingly enough, the chefs continued and did well. Except for Suzanne who refused to do anything else. She was afraid to “put her name” on any of the dishes without the approval of Chef Ramsay or Sous Chef Scott. That doesn’t sound like a head chef to me!
Chef Ramsay came back into the kitchen with Sous Chef Scott and immediately sent Ariel, Suzanne, and Van out of the kitchen. Van is going insane over this and it’s a little scary! Meanwhile, Dave, Kevin, and Tennille finished service.
Chef Ramsay named Tennille, Kevin, and Dave as the best chefs and they had to collectively decide which two chefs needed to be nominated to leave. They all agreed on Suzanne and Ariel. But when it came time to nominate, Tennille said she thought Van should be up there instead of Ariel. I think that’s what Chef Ramsay wanted to see, as well, and he called all three up. Van ended up leaving and he was actually quite humble with his exit.
