Overview
- Rusherking re-entered after host Wanda Nara announced on air that the best dessert would automatically return, and the judges awarded him the white apron.
- Esther Goris and Emilia Attias also rejoined in the Gala del Regreso, where the judges—Damián Betular, Germán Martitegui and Donato de Santis—chose their fish dishes.
- The repechaje concluded with three confirmed returnees: Rusherking, Esther Goris and Emilia Attias, who are now back in the main contest.
- Social media buzzed over Rusherking’s comeback, with some users framing it as a media play; those reactions remain online commentary rather than verified claims.
- Following the repechaje, episodes resumed with new challenges, and chef Ximena Sáenz filled in for Donato de Santis as a guest judge in the latest round, while ex-contestant Esteban Mirol publicly alleged mistreatment and selective editing.
