Overview
- The show aired Wednesday with duos tasked to make a tortilla de papas while alternating suspended in harnesses, forcing contestants to peel, cut and cook while production assisted swaps for safety.
- Hernán de Mala Fama used a silver-medal benefit to choose pairings, a decision that changed who faced the unusual physical constraint and who could avoid hanging at certain turns.
- Judges evaluated technical details such as uniform potato cuts, doneness and the quality of vinaigrettes, and advanced three pairs to the balcony: China Ansa & Rocío Robles, Luciana Geuna & Edith Hermida, and Juli Poggio & Luck Ra.
- Germán Martitegui sharply criticized Pablo Migliore and Hernán for cutting potatoes unevenly, warning that irregular slices produced inconsistent cooking and reflected ignoring basic culinary knowledge.
- The format’s spectacle and on-air exchanges — including Marta Fort’s flirtatious remark to Damián Betular and Wanda Nara’s jibe at China Ansa — drove strong studio reaction and social-media conversation following the episode.
