During the night's service, Pasha Kovalev, a Season 3 contestant and current choreographer of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, can be seen eating dinner.
Goof: During service, Tek can seen in the background at one point. Tek was eliminated in a previous episode, so this is an editing mistake. Jim and Robert can be seen briefly as well.
Rewards Challenge: Chefs from both teams were paired off and competed against each directly in a blind taste test. Blindfolded and with headphones on, they had to identify ingredients that they were being served. The team with the most ingredients correctly identified was the winning team. Reward: The Red Team won this challenge and was sent to Opaque, a restaurant where you eat in the dark, in a limo. They then got enjoy a gourmet meal in complete darkness while chatting with Chef Ramsay. Punishment: For losing, the Blue Team had to clean glasses and then prepare cleansing sorbets to be served at the next day's dinner service. They were also made to unload and sort a delivery of fruit for the sorbets.
Nominees for Elimination: Both teams completed a full service, but the Red Team lost for this episode. Tennille was named the best of the worst and asked to nominate two chefs for elimination. She nominated Suzanne, who she felt showed a lack of teamwork and Sabrina, who she felt hadn't stepped into the role she needed to make her team successful. Ramsay asked them to step forward, but also wanted to hear from someone else and had Amanda step forward as well. Eliminated: Amanda. Not convinced that Suzanne and Sabrina needed to go, Chef Ramsay eliminated Amanda, calling her a nice girl, but noting that nice girls don't make great head chefs.
Chef Ramsay: Amanda was a sweet girl. But sweet girls don't make great head chefs.
Suzanne: (in an interview segment) I definitely don't see why everybody hates me!
Tennille: (in an interview segment) Suzanne... sunk... the... ship! She sunk us! Left us on the curb! Chef Ramsay: Do something about it!
Tennille: (in an interview segment) The tables have turned, baby. Everybody underestimated my cooking ability. Now I'm the bright and shining star.
Chef Ramsay: Raw! Like it's still running around in the **** field!
Kevin: (in an interview segment) These people rely way too much on me. Eventually people got to learn how to cook.
Chef Ramsay: (to Van) Kevin disappears for one minutes, you **** sink the section. Let's go!
Van: (in an interview segment) I'd break my ***** for Chef Ramsay just to prove to him that I am that guy.
Kevin: (in an interview segment) We cannot afford to lose. We lose tonight, might as well, you know, start kissing everything goodbye because the Blue Team will disappear.
Chef Ramsay: Nice color on the scallops there. Suzanne: Yes, Chef. (in an interview segment) Obviously I know what's going on.
Sabrina: (in an interview segment) Unbeknownst to Suzanne, we have what we call 'The Anti-Suzanne Team.'
Chef Ramsay: Trust me. Whenever you get the chance to eat in the dark, you really start to understand flavor.
Dave: (in an interview segment) You're not supposed to drink duck.
Amanda: (in an interview segment, regarding the reward) I had to try to cop a feel in the dark with Chef Ramsay. The guy works out. It's good.
Tennille: I've never eaten in the dark, unless I forgot to pay the light bill or something.
Tennille: (in an interview segment, towards the end of the taste test) Now I'm starting to get nervous. Andy's one of the most epicurious mamma jammas I've ever met before in my life. So I'm thinkin' this might be his time to shine.
Dave: (in an interview segment, following his poor taste test performance) I got one out of four, so I'll give myself an F. (sound of buzzer)
Andy: (in an interview segment) Anybody who knows me knows that I have these crazy taste buds. I can taste things people can't.
Tennille: (regarding Suzanne) It's constantly annoying. Just talking out of your ass.
