Although he was on the winning team in Hell’s Kitchen Season 7 Episode 7, Salvatore was eliminated.
When they get back, Ben continues to berate Siobhan, who pretty well hates his guts now. She insists she doesn’t care what he thinks. Sure seems to me that she cares.
They head to the restaurant where the French dip sandwich began when a chef screwed up and dropped his food in gravy (I’ll bet that chef did not get yelled at). When they return to Hell’s Kitchen, they are given 30 minutes to create their own unique sandwich.
Because they have one extra person, the red team will need to decide who has the worst sandwich. Ben obviously attacks Siobhan. The others support this decision, and she will step down.
Ed and Ben go first. Ben’s tuna is cooked beautifully. Ed’s sandwich is delicious. Both score a point.
Holli and Jason are next. Holli’s ambitious sandwich worked. Jason’s is nicely seasoned. Both score a point again.
Fran and Jay are the third duo. Fran has made her chicken delicious. Jay’s stands out well. Fran’s soggy bread results in Jay getting the point to take the lead 3-2.
Autumn and Nilka are the last pair. Nilka’s dish is adventurous. Autumn’s presentation is shockingly bad, although she thought it looked fine. That ties it 3-3.
Siobhan’s sandwich will be used as the tiebreaker. Better than Fran’s. Because the red team did not send Siobhan’s dish instead of Fran’s, the blue team wins.
Red team will need to make peanutbutter and jelly from scratch. Blue team will go on a trip to wine country via private jet. Much drunkness ensues.
After the challenge, Siobhan continues to be angry and whine and whine. Ben, meanwhile, continues to insist he made the right decision. He’s become a jackass since he put on that red outfit.
With the blue team hungover, the red team thinks they may finally have a shot at winning a service.
Jason starts off with overcooked scallops, and Jay starts off with raw food.
Fran follows suit, delivering raw risotto as well. At least she’s consistent.
Autumn drops the ball on garnish. She’s in her own little world.
Siobhan’s black scallops are not golden brown. And she’s not even hungover. That said, she can now go into the dining room to eat her mistakes. Ben takes over her station and refuses to let her back in when she returns.
Nilka has delivered raw chicken. If there’s one thing you don’t want to screw up, it’s chicken.
Ed and Jay have delivered raw duck. So the blue team has been thrown out.
Speaking of the red team, Fran is having trouble cooking salad. Her risotto remains no good. They get thrown out, too.
Since both teams were booted, nobody wins. Both teams will need to nominate two people.
Jay nominates Autumn and Ed. Jason agrees. Over on the red team, Ben picks Siobhan, obviously. Nilka picks Siobhan and Fran. Fran nominates Siobhan and Nilka.
The blue team has nominated Autumn and Ed; the red team has nominated Siobhan and Fran again.
It’s safe to say the blue team is safe. The red team, however, is back in the same spot where it was last time, when one of them should have been eliminated instead of Sal. Siobhan can hand over her jacket. Ben got his way after he stole her station, while Fran skates by yet again.
