Fox’s MasterChef Season 13 episodes 17 & 18 will be released soon. With last week’s double elimination leaving only six home cooks in the challenge, the cooking competition is only going to get more intense now.
Led by Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and Aaron Sanchez, the 13th season of MasterChef USA is titled United Tastes of America. Each of the contestants that made it into this season of MasterChef USA has been selected from different parts of the US, like South, West, Northeast, and Midwest.
With these diverse cooking styles and dishes to present, the 13th season is turning out to be one of the most interesting seasons of this cutthroat cooking competition.
Last week’s iconic Wall Challenge was only the beginning of harder challenges. Now that only 6 out of the 20 initial contestants remain, the journey to the finale will begin in the upcoming episodes. The home cooks that are left in season 13 for now include Kennedy, Sav, Jennifer, Reagan, Wayne, and Grant.
MasterChef Season 13 Episode 16: Recap
Episode 16 of MasterChef season 13 had the contestants facing the next challenge called “The Wall.” Wayne, who had won in the last challenge, was the one who got to decide the pairs for this episode’s challenge.
The Wall involved two contestants cooking the same dish but with a wall in between them. They’d have to communicate through it and try to make a very similar dish for the judges. This 8-foot-tall wall isn’t the first time it’s been on MasterChef. We’ve previously had the same challenge in older seasons, too.
Cooking in pairs also brought about double elimination, creating more nervousness among the chefs. The pairs of the Season 13 Wall challenge were:
- Kennedy and Sav
- Brynn and Kolby
- Jennifer and Reagan
- Wayne and Grant
The four teams are given one hour to cook a restaurant-quality dish that tastes and looks the same. After deciding the dishes they’d like to make in the pantry, the contestants start making their dishes by communicating through the wall. To be able to communicate flavor with words was going to be a hard task.
After the challenge ends, the judges, Wayne and Grant, are called first, and they present their dishes, Pan Seared Fillet Mignon, which turn out to look the same. Jennifer and Reagan were up next, and they presented some Seared Scallops, but their dish wasn’t completely identical.
Kennedy and Sav present Seared Scallops as well, and even though their dishes look the same, Kennedy’s sauce breaks. Brynn and Kolby bring up a Crispy skin salmon, but their plates don’t look the same.
Moreover, Kolby’s dish isn’t cooked well, which was the major reason they had a high chance of being sent back home. Brynn, Kolby, Jennifer, and Reagan are the ones to score the least. As expected, the ones to be eliminated last week were Brynn and Kolby.
