Back to the competition, which is immediately

an Elimination Challenge (which makes sense in this final episode). Each of the chefs will need to create their "restaurant" with a four

-course tasting menu. The challenge will begin in the morning.
When the morning comes, all (or most -- it's hard to count) of the previously-eliminated cheftestants are waiting in the

kitchen, greeting Padma like a kindergarten class on the first day of school. They will be the sous-chefs for the finalists. And then they will complete a challenge in order to be chosen as sous-chefs. Each needs to create an

amuse-bouche before the finalists even enter the kitchen. Crazy...Even crazier? The sous-chefs will be chosen by blind taste test. Mike and Richard will pick their favorite three dishes, and the chosen dishes will indicate the

sous-chefs. Everyone wants Jen Carroll. Nobody wants Marcel.
