This Is Fire

Chef JoJo brings Elly Clutch and Adria Rae to the kitchen to noodle around with a classic: pad thai. But striking the perfect balance of sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami is anything but a wok in the park.

When it comes to this Mexican street food challenge, the only thing spicier than the flavors is the trash talk. Just ask Hayley Davies and Adam22... because one of their quesadillas is bound to send them home feeling extra salty.

For this challenge, Alexis Fawx and Vanna Bardot will have to come out of their shells and serve up savory shrimp scampi. But their shots at the semifinals could be cooked when one chef struggles with a lack of heat, while the other brings too much fire.

Chef JoJo is looking for beauty in the beef when Elly Clutch and Hayley Davies return for the semifinals. With stunning wagyu katsu sandos on the menu, they'll need to step up to steak a claim in the finals.

Mia Malkova and Vanna Bardot are back to raise the bar on bar food. There's no bones about it, Vanna has the early advantage on this hot wings and onion rings challenge, but Mia might just have the sauce to leave her in the dust.

Hayley Davies and Mia Malkova definitely have their arms full in this final challenge: risotto and grilled octopus. The sweet taste of victory is within reach, but only if they can navigate the right flavors and land the perfect dish.
