The WORST Team Performance in Hell's Kitchen Breakfast Challenge

Gordon surprises the 18 chefs by announcing they must serve breakfast to a huge group of police officers. Teams split by gender again; speed and accuracy decide the winner. Blue Team (Men) shines: strong teamwork on eggs, steaks, waffles, and bacon. Chase and others coordinate smoothly. Red Team (Women) struggles badly: Kat repeatedly undercooks eggs, Kara serves rare steak, communication collapses. Blue Team wins decisively. Reward: Exclusive private tour of Mystic Aquarium + Italian lunch at Trattoria Amalfi. Punishment: Women clean and prep the kitchen.Dramatic twist: Chase (Montana) privately tells Gordon he's struggling mentally under the pressure. In a rare compassionate moment, Gordon lets him leave the competition voluntarily. No elimination from this, leaving 17 chefs.Dinner Service – Chaos reigns: Blue Kitchen: Paul & Antonio mess up timing and send raw lamb after 20+ minutes → Gordon kicks the entire team out. Red Kitchen: Alexandra giggles annoyingly; Elena forgets salmon instructions; Kat sends an overcooked Wellington → Gordon boots them too. Nominations & Double Elimination: Red nominates Elena & Alexandra. Blue nominates Paul & Antonio. Eliminated: Paul (Colorado) – for raw lamb and overall poor performance. Elena – for weak fish/protein cookery. Alexandra flips Elena the bird on her way out in revenge. Remaining: 15 chefs. Heated drama erupts back at quarters, mostly among the women (Anaya caught in the middle).Episode 4 – Fish Cook-Off Challenge + More Drama Gordon takes the chefs to a harbor for a fish-themed challenge. Teams split again. They compete in a relay to identify and grab fresh fish from nets.Red Team wins the relay → gets a 5-minute head start. Both teams cook their chosen fish with sous-chef guidance (Michelle for red, James for blue). Restaurant owner Jeremy judges the final dishes. Blue Team wins narrowly. Reward: Overnight trip to Rhode Island – vineyard tour at Greenvale Vineyards + fancy dinner in a private mansion. Punishment: Women clean the boat and fish prep area. Twist: Anaya uses her Punishment Pass to swap with Antonio → she joins the winners (men) for the luxury trip; Antonio joins the losers (women). Dinner Service – VIP guests include NFL legends Tiki Barber (red table) and Jordan Malata (blue table). Red Kitchen: Cara Marie slows things down tableside; Kat ruins garnish (undercooked/undercooked carrots 3×); overcooked salmon issues. Blue Kitchen: Bradley forgets Wellingtons (causing tension with Anthony); Chris recovers from overcooked salmon. Nominations & Elimination: Red nominates Kat, Alexandra, and Cara Marie. Eliminated: Kat (Maryland) – for repeated garnish failures and overall inconsistency. Remaining: 14 chefs. Bradley gets a brief scare but stays. More tension simmers, especially on the women's side.Classic HK formula: high-stakes challenges, kitchen meltdowns, Gordon's rage, surprise exits, and escalating interpersonal drama! The Battle of the States keeps delivering shocks.
