Tonight onTop Chef Just Desserts, the seven remaining pastry chef'testants have a seemingly simple task for their Quickfire: doughnuts. Well, it only seems simple at first. Not only does Gail challenge them with making "the perfect doughnut" paired with a cup of coffee, no one will receive immunity this time and the person with the worst dish will be sent packing. Oh, and super chef Wylie Dufresne is their guest judge for this episode. Talk about pressure, eh?
I'm wondering if the producers are cutting two people in one episode yet again because they figured at least one person would have gone nuts and left the show by this point in the season (as two contestants did last season).
As for the Elimination, it seems to be a free-for-all: chocolate "any way you want." Without boundaries, this could prove to be their biggest challenge yet. It looks like Chris and Orlando decide to go head-to-head and create chocolate show pieces, and I'm guessing the other chefs create dishes that are meant to be eaten. The twist on this challenge? The chefs are sampling and judging each others' creations. Cue the snide and condescending comments from Orlando.
