In the second hour of MasterChef tonight, the remaining 12 contestants head to Camp Pendleton to compete in their next challenge. Two teams will face off against each other and cook an entrée, two sides, and a dessert for 400 Marines and their families. As the winner of the last challenge, Mike is able to choose his team entirely - a huge advantage! He picks Jake, Lee, Tracy, Tony, and Sheetal for his blue team which means that Faruq, Jenna, Whitney, Slim, Sharone, and Mike make up the read team by default.

 

The blue team's menu is: apple raisin pork stuffed pork loin, roaster corn salad, creamy garlic scalloped potatoes, and a red, white, and blue napoleon. The red team's menu is: grilled skirt steak, potato and bacon au gratin, roasted vegetables with fresh herbs, and apple turnovers. Both menus sound great so this is clearly going to come down to execution.

 

In the kitchen, Mike's ability to lead his blue team comes into question and Jake steps in to make sure things run smoothly. Sharone is a much better leader for his red team and they blow through their cooking like a well-oiled machine.

 

The Marines are able to choose which menu they'd like to eat from but only one team prepared enough food and that's the blue team. The red team ran out of both their potatoes and their vegetables with 150 Marines still in line. How embarrassing! Faruq steps up for his team on the megaphone and apologizes to everyone for running out of food. This opens the door for the blue team, who makes it known that they have enough food for everyone.

 

The red team had a strong menu and worked well together but the fact that they ran out of food cost them the win. Now, one of them will be leaving the competition and in order to determine who leaves, the team members will have to taste a dish made by Graham and determine what the ingredients are just based on the taste. There are 20 ingredients and the person that guesses the fewest ingredients is out!

 

The dish is a Texas style chili. Whitney gets 12 ingredients right, Faruq gets 9, Slim, David, and Sharone get 8, and Jenna gets 7. That means Jenna is eliminated from MasterChef and headed home.
