Amaya, well sure, shes skated by thanks to some team challenges, but remember hershrimp asopao?
She shouldnt be completely discounted just yet.
It will be, quite simply, a big challenge.
But Christina doesnt really need to warn the kids, they are all aware.
Most have never made a souffle before, and are completely intimidated.
The real tension comes when the chefs put their dishes into the oven.
For first timers, the kids do pretty well.
The only mishap comes from Zac, whose souffle splits while baking.
It tastes just fine, but each of the girls serve up a fabulous looking dessert.
The girl never met a softball reference she didnt like.
Addison wants the ribs for herself, and gives the ears to her biggest threat: Zac.
Well played, Addy.
Avery gets the pork belly, which leaves Amaya with the loin.
Yeah, Zac is in trouble.
Addison pays no mind shes a rib master.
The judges fall all over her ribs; theyre cooked to perfection.
The only problem Gordon really has with her dish is the plating.
Hopefully the excellent ribs can compensate.
The judges love his frisee salads presentation, but unfortunately, his pigs ear is undercooked.
Gordon praises Zacs use of quail egg, and Graham notes that his vegetables were outstanding.
So, basically everything but the main protein was great.
Zac is trying to stay positive, but the cards are stacked against him tonight.
All three of the judges are completely blown away by Averys refined, insanely delicious pork belly dish.
So, thats one finale spot taken.
She puts it back in the oven, but thats a misstep as well.
The meat is still undercooked when she presents it to the judges.
Its no surprise when they callAverys name first, and she falls to her knees.
So, to no ones surprise,Addisonmoves on to the finals.
Sadly,ZacandAmayas time in the kitchen is cut short just shy of the finale.
Zac takes it especially hard, and even the judges look bummed to say goodbye.
Which tiny blonde will take the title?
I mean, probably Addison, right?
