Week 4:

Dan unexpectedly left the show at his request to open the show. Shelly and Stephen were team captain's for the team competition. Stephens team who consisted of Charlie, Jesse, Sara, Olivia, Tommy, Carey, and Nick cooked the Lobster for 101 Las Vegas Entertainers while Shelly's team cooked the Chicken Tenders. She elected to cook the tenders in a rolled fashion that was extremely difficult in a 60 minute time frame. At the end of the challenge, the team that won was Stephens team. Of the 8 team members of Shelly's team, 4 members selected by Shelly went upstairs (Hetal, Kerry, Katrina, and Veronica as well as Shelly) and were deemed safe from elimination in the Steak Cook-off judged by G Ramsey. The cooks who had to cook in the cook-off were actually the contestants that did most of the work in the earlier challenge. Claudia, Derrick, Christopher, and Ailsa had to cook a sirloin medium rare and the best two cooks would go upstairs leaving the other two for a Filet Mignon cook-off. Derrick nailed the sirloin and Claudia came in second. Ailsa and Christopher faced off and Ailsa lost and was sent home.
