In the previous episode, there was another mystery box that featured coffee. The top 3 were Derrick, Nick, and Hetal. They all made dessert, but it was Nick who won the advantage. Nick got to choose the pairs for the upcoming tag team challenge. He paired Derrick and Stephen together, thinking that they would clash because of their larger-than-life personalities. He also paired Tommy and Katrina together because he knew that they would get on each other's nerves. The final pair was Claudia and Hetal.
In the tag team challenge, the pairs had to recreate a summer party platter, and in true MasterChef fashion was entertaining to say the least. Katrina and Tommy kept on shouting at each other throughout the cook, which caused discord that showed on the platter. Hetal and Claudia were the most organized and calm but lost track of time, which made the platter look like it's been eaten. Not surprisingly, Derrick and Stephen put out the best platter, despite the animosity toward each other. Derrick even took a step back and let Stephen take the lead. The last minute of the cook was the most stressful, but everyone pulled it off in the end. The dynamic duo of Derrick and Stephen won, while Katrina and Tommy found themselves at the bottom two. In the end, Tommy was eliminated.
