Apparently with a little dose of luck and magic.
(Did anyone not see that coming, especially after Kwames elimination on Last Chance Kitchen?)

Basically, whoever pulled the peasant card would be restricted to only using their pantry products.
Marjorie chose Karen, Jeremy picked Kwame (dream team?
), Isaac picked his good luck charm Carl, and Amar was left with his old roommate Phillip.
He is experiencing the height of luxury.
Her dish would show where she started as a cook and where she is today: duck a lorange.
Marjories plan was to use liquid nitrogen to freeze-dry the oranges.
Isaac was clearly all about going big or going home.
If those arent major surprises, nothing will ever be.
By elimination time, it was obvious that Amar was the runaway winner.
But the most uplifting moment of the episode came as Marjorie packed her knives to leave.
She thanked the show for giving her the confidence in her talent.
I do have a hard time having that confidence, but I feel much stronger now.
And I do still feel successful today.
A couple months ago I probably would have had a much harder time saying that.
And lets be honest, its fun seeing people cook a bunch of really badass looking food.
Next weeks finale will certainly feature a hell of a lot of that.
