Ciao House Episode 2 Recap
Episode one showed everybody the ropes, the prize is a culinary course from the best chefs in Italy, and since day one, we can tell that nobody is safe. The first man to go was Justin because he overcooked his lamb. Since Corey and Trenika won the first challenge, they get to pick who is on their team and who isn’t and why. After elimination, everyone goes to the living room and shares some wine and mingles. They share their personal stories and backgrounds. Later on, Corey and Trenika choose their teams.
Pasta Challenge For Lunch
The following day, the chefs are presented with two veteran Italian cooks that show them how to make pasta. The challenge is to make three differently shaped kinds of pasta from scratch for dinner and lunch in one hour. The weakest chef of the losing team will go home after the players choose who did it the worst in the challenge.
Then, the chefs kick it off, and Corey picks agnolotti with cherry peppers, tagliatelle with seafood, and garganelli with cremini brodo and has his team prepare it while giving them the liberty to work. There’s not much micromanaging, and in the confessionals, everyone talks about Corey’s leadership.
Sarah has trouble with the mixer for the dough, so everyone must knead the dough instead. Corey makes his agnolotti without hassles, and his team executes each dish expeditiously and on time for the presentation. The judges praised the seafood, but they didn’t like the pasta that came with it as they saw it as the wrong pairing. Additionally, the agnolotti was salty, the garganelli felt chewy, and Corey’s leadership skills weren’t on point.

Trenika’s Dinner
Trenika has trouble coordinating efforts with her team. She picks lasagna, farfalle, and stuffed pasta. The problem is that the lasagna, from scratch in one hour is too much work, and it shows with Trenika’s team, who express their concerns in the confessionals. When it’s time to present, they begin with vegetable farfalle with pesto. Then it’s the cheese agnolotti with lemon broth, and lastly, the lasagna. For the judges, the agnolotti was good, the farfalle had raw veggies, and the lasagna was disappointing.
Omar voices his concerns regarding Trenika’s leadership skills when the judges ask him, and everybody concurs with Omar. After that, the chefs pick Corey’s team as the winning one, and the chefs nominate Trenika for elimination, so she must go home.
