In this episode, Fabio starts the day by making everyone breakfast of Spam and pork and beans. You are a chef for goodness sake and this is breakfast, put some eggs in it!
Breakfast over, it's time for the quick fire challenge with guest judge Jean Christophe Novelle. The challenge is the dreaded dessert challenge. Everyone doesn't seem as horrified as in Top Chefs past until Padma announces that they can't use sugar then everyones jaws hit the floor. They all come up with creative dishes which Jean Christophe, being his bad French self says "interesting" about the dishes he didn't like. We will see how well JC does when his show, Chef Academy begins. He will probably Ooh, La, La all the way to the bank! Radhika wins the challenge and immunity by making a whole wheat bread pudding.
Padma tells the chefs that Gail will be replaced with English food critic Toby Young. Apparently he is the Simon Cowell of the food world. Should be interesting. The elimination challenge is to make a family style meal for a blind taste test in which 2 chefs will be packing their knives. Fabio is so busy ragging on everyone that he doesn't check his lamb and it comes out under cooked. Karma! In another twist, the chefs are split into 2 groups with each group acting as judges for the other without knowing who cooked what.
After Toby's scathing comments for the first group, "I've found the weapons of mass destruction and they are in this bowl!", the second group is off and cooking. Toby was more impressed by the second group. He is going to be a force to be reckoned with. At judge's table, he actually got Chef Tom to see his side of things. Jamie finally wins a challenge by redeeming her scallops. It comes down to 
Carla, Gene and Melissa. Poor Gene, I really liked him and 
hoped he would do better but his snapper dish was a mess! Melissa's tuna tacos didn't sit well with the judges which surprised me because I'm thinking how can you mess up tuna tacos? Well Melissa did and her and Gene are told to pack their knives and go. Pictures are not available to add but I did find these of Gene and Melissa. Double D
