Overview
- On Monday night the show moved its usual Sunday elimination to October 19 because Telefe aired Copa Libertadores matches and the rescheduled gala led its time slot with a peak near 12.5 rating points.
- Contestants opened tactile mystery boxes and discovered mondongo as the central ingredient, then had 60 minutes to create dishes under judges' orders to avoid obvious guiso preparations.
- The jury gave several competitors the delantal negro (black apron), putting Nazareno Casero, Mike Amigorena, Sebastián Presta, Lizy Tagliani and Morena Beltrán at risk before the final tasting.
- Germán Martitegui and the other judges praised some components of Beltrán's plate but criticized the milanesa's texture as the decisive flaw that led to her elimination in a mano a mano with Julieta Nair Calvo.
- The episode also generated off-camera and on-air talk because participants aired WhatsApp tensions on screen and host Wanda Nara made a provocative quip referencing a past scandal, which increased social-media coverage.
