Overview
- Trápani was eliminated after the Oct. 11 60-minute challenge that required a dish using rice and calamari, with judges saying both the rice and the mollusk were insufficiently cooked.
- Mike Amigorena joined Trápani in the final bottom two but stayed in the competition after judges praised his flavors despite noting undercooked rice.
- Hours after leaving the show, Trápani told a streaming program she felt the judges did not support her on the line and that a late tip from Germán Martitegui was later recriticized by the panel.
- The three judges — Damián Betular, Germán Martitegui and Maru Botana — stood by their tasting notes while expressing willingness to consider Trápani for a future repechage.
- The episode drew strong audiences, peaking around 11–12 rating points, and the season continues as the format’s mix of technical critique and on‑air drama keeps public attention.
