| September 1, 2014 at 7:00 PM EDTThe home cooks on MasterChef 2014 will be heading out of the MasterChef Kitchen and making their way to a fancy L.A. restaurant and running the dinner service during another team challenge on Master Chef 2014! Only six home cooks remain on MasterChef Season 5, so the pressure is so high tonight. So, who goes home tonight on MasterChef 2014 Season 5? Find out during our MasterChef 2014 Recap and see who went home on MasterChef 2014 tonight!
Last week on MasterChef Season 5, the home cooks took on a Mystery Box Challenge that had them making a dish with apples! While they were excited to see the apples under the box, they would not be making a dessert. They had to make a savory apple dish and the winner (Courtney) was able to pick out the pairings for the Elimination Test, which had them cooking dim sum. As bad as Jaimee and Leslie worked together, they created the best dish and won the challenge! It was Christian and Willie in the bottom two and the judges sent Big Willie home!

Here we go…the home cooks head to Sunset Marquis Hotel to meet Gordon Ramsay and Graham Elliot.
TEAM CHALLENGE: It is the MasterChef Restaurant Takeover! They will be running the dinner service at the Sunset Marquis Hotel. The team captains tonight are Leslie and Jaimee.
BLUE TEAM: Jaimee, Christian and Courtney
RED TEAM: Leslie, Elizabeth and Cutter
They will be serving over 50 guests for the night. The guests will give their input, but Chef Ramsay and Graham will decide the winner. The teams meet with Chef Michael Schlow. They will be making two apps and two entrees. He gives them a lesson in how to make all the dishes!
After the lessons, the teams have 60 minutes to prep and then two hours to serve all the guests. Chef Ramsay will be expediting tonight. Leslie is taking charge and not taking any gruff from Cutter. Jaimee has no voice, so how is she still here??? Leslie is the opposite and right in the face of Cutter and not losing authority as captain this time and they have some big words, which Chef Ramsay has to come in between them! He tells Cutter to just suck it up and take orders from the leader.
The tickets start coming back and the Red Team is doing good and sending out food. The Blue Team is screwing up and no leadership, so Jaimee hands over leadership to Courtney. This is her second time as a team captain and she has given up the captain role both times. The Red Team is almost done with apps and the Blue Team hasn’t gotten any apps out! Courtney fails as captain and hands the reins over to Christian, who gets the food coming out of the kitchen!
The apps are all out and the diners seem to be impressed with both teams on MasterChef 2014. Now it is time for the entrees and the Blue Team is off to a great start, but Cutter and Leslie return to their fighting and Chef Ramsay calls them up! He said no more arguments and just cook, otherwise he will kick them both out and go back there and cook with Elizabeth himself.
While the Red Team struggles, the Blue Team is working so good together and they are on their last table. The Red Team gets it together and both teams working on their final table. All the tables are served and now time to find out how they did.
RESULTS: They said they both did a great job and will let them know the winner back in the MasterChef Kitchen. Back in the kitchen, the winning team is the Red Team! They are all safe tonight and the other three will face the Pressure Test.
PRESSURE TEST: All three of them will be cooking in it and will be making a croquembouche, which is a beautiful French dessert, so favoring Jaimee on this one???? Graham said it is a big ol’ creme puff tower!They have 90 minutes to make this dish and Christian does not look happy about this one. Courtney is feeling vulnerable on this one, which is not like her at all. Christian is way behind and waiting for the sugar to settle before he assembles. He starts, but will he get it done properly? They all get it done and it looks like Courtney’s has the best visual one!
TASTING:
- Courtney – Chef Ramsay said it looks visually great. It looks beautiful and tastes great. Graham said you could hear it crunching and the pastry cream is top notch.
- Christian – Chef Ramsay said different type of caramel on the bottom and top. Hardly any cream in there, but they are light and crispy and really tasty. Graham said he got three pieces in one because of how much caramel. He said ti tastes great, but the sugar is what is getting to him.
- Jaimee – Chef Ramsay said the sugar is so thick in areas, but perfect at the bottom. He asks her to take one off the tower and she can’t! They get some, but it is ripping them all apart. He said it may look good, but it does not taste as good as it looks. Graham said with all that sugar it starts looking clumsy at the top and the pastry cream is kind of bland.
RESULTS: While it seemed like this one would favor Jaimee, she seemed to fall flat. The judges discuss all three and Courtney is safe. It is down to Jaimee and Christian and the judges send Jaimee home, which means Christian is safe for another week.
