Episode 101

Opening: 18 chefs arrive at the Las Vegas airport, where they are all given the instruction to meet at a certain part of it. They all arrive there and are greeted by JP, who tells them to follow him. They take a shuttle to a mysterious building, which ends up being a theatre with a large audience. They are greeted by Ramsay and told to prepare their signature dishes, which will be judged by him and presented by the audience.

Team Challenge/Signature Dish: The chefs had 45 minutes to cook their signature dish, rated from 1–5 by Ramsay. Benjamin's pork tenderloin scored a 3 while Wesley's salmon scored 2, Butch's rotini scored a 3 while Cookie's pigeon scored a 4, and Bea's scallops scored a 2 while Marcel's crab cakes managed only a 1. 7-8. Bones' lamb scores a 4 while Portia's pork loin gets a 2. 11-10. Shep's halibut scored a 4 while Megumi's egg rolls score a 1, and Cherry's arctic char scores a 3 while Mac's pizza, which was made with canned tomatoes and pre-packaged dough, scores a 1 and was threatened with elimination after talking behind Ramsay's back. 16-14. Goldie's filet mignon scores the first 5 while Walker gets a 3 for his lobster ravioli. 19-19. Biskit's carne asada tacos and Maddie's lemon peppered chicken both earn 4's, tying the score at 23-23 going into the final pair. Daisy's tuna fish salad scores a 3, while Lucky's Egyptian pasta scored a 5, giving the men the win.

Reward/punishment: The men were rewarded with a view of Las Vegas on the High Roller in addition to being VIP guests at Buffy's Nightclub. The women stayed at the theatre to peel shrimp and make 1000 pounds of truffle mashed potatoes. Prior to service, Shep annoyed his team by bossing some around while trying to act like a leader.

Service: Megumi, Maddie, Benjamin, and Biskit served tableside shrimp scampi. In the red kitchen, Wesley initially struggled with the lobster tail for the risotto and needed her teammates' help, but strong performances on meat and fish by both Bea and Cookie respectively helped the red team finish service. In the blue kitchen, Walker got the team off to a bad start by bringing up the fish entree before the appetizers due to thinking only Lucky was doing appetizers. Lucky served raw scallops, setting the appetizers back again, but they were eventually able to recover and move to entrees. Marcel burnt pizza for the VIP table and Walker struggled on communication with Shep on garnish after Walker had Lucky bring up a raw halibut despite Shep not being ready with the garnishes, prompting Ramsay to kick both Walker and Lucky out. After Marcel brought up a pizza that was both undercooked and overcooked on different sides, Ramsay threw the whole team out, telling them to come up with two nominees.

Elimination: Walker and Lucky were the first two choices, but Marcel was picked over Lucky after reconsideration. Ramsay eliminated Marcel over Walker for his poor performance on pizza and looking lost at many points throughout the service.
