Green Team takes the win with a stronger progression and better execution across all seven courses. Teamwork really made the difference here. Would you rather play it safe or go bold with spice?

Jassi gets eliminated after serving dry lamb that didn’t bring the heat for the final course. On the hottest dish of the night? That’s a tough miss.

The Red Team struggles to manage spice levels and consistency, with dishes falling apart as the courses get hotter. Too much heat, not enough control. Where did it go wrong?

Rhoda dominates again with her pepper-braised short rib, winning best dish and locking in back-to-back victories. She’s not playing around this season.

The Elimination Challenge pushes chefs to their limits with a seven-course progressive spice menu at PuckerButt Farms. Things escalate fast, and not everyone can handle the heat. Literally.

Laurence wins the Quickfire with a lamb börek using Talenti gelato, pulling off the sweet and savory balance under pressure. $10K and momentum this early? Not bad at all.

A video on YouTube floated past me. It struck a nerve. A good one this time. #PepperX from #Puckerbutt, its history, its predecessor #CarolinaReaper and its maker, Ed Currie. What a hero. It's pretty much an advertorial though. Still good: youtu.be/IVI5L18mmzQ
