Overview
- Contestants had to replicate a confit trout with green curry, dill oil and ginger, a test many struggled to execute under time pressure.
- Luis Ventura delivered an overcooked fish and failed on the gelatine component, leading the judges to confirm his elimination.
- Hours around the broadcast, Ventura posted an Instagram photo reading “Eliminado,” prompting a production reprimand before the post was removed.
- Ventura later alleged his gelatine was ruined in the blast chiller by another contestant’s container, calling it a boicot, a claim not substantiated by the show.
- The episode led its time slot with a reported peak of 14 rating points, while social media lit up with memes, and Momi Giardina remained safe on the balcony from the prior last-chance round.
