Overview
- The week began with the staged 'Gran Premio de Brasil' shrimp challenge, and Elizabeth 'La Negra' Vernaci won the single balcony spot which exempted her from the elimination round.
- The elimination gala focused on making ñoquis and ended with Diego Ramos being sent home, a result reported by multiple outlets that makes him the fifth contestant eliminated this season.
- Judges specifically criticized Ramos for using a torch to finish the dish, for choosing semolina ñoquis instead of potato, and for serving a sauce the panel described as 'cortada' or separated.
- Several contestants received black aprons after the shrimp challenge and remain at risk in coming weeks, while judges praised high-scoring plates from Sebastián Presta, Julieta Nair Calvo and Campi.
- The episode featured substitute judge Dolli Irigoyen and guest Guillermo Cóppola, reinforced the show’s format of balcony immunity and black aprons, and leaves the competition to continue with new weekly challenges.
