<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^Note 1 : The chef(s) did not receive immunity for winning the Quickfire Challenge.
<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^Note 2 : Lauren was eliminated by placing last in the Quickfire Challenge.
<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^Note 3 : Due to a refrigerator malfunction which spoiled some of the chefs' ingredients during the Elimination Challenge, no one was eliminated. Consequently, two chefs were eliminated in the following episode.
<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^Note 4 : Leah, Jamie, and Jeff (the three most recently eliminated contestants) were brought back to the competition to compete in a Quickfire Challenge. The winner would compete in the subsequent Elimination Challenge, but could only move on to the season finale if they won the challenge. Jeff won the Quickfire, and the judges picked him as one of their favorites in the Elimination Challenge, but did not select him to win. Consequently, he was automatically eliminated.
