So, after last week’s emotionally draining show, we are headed to the Bahamas with the final five contestants. I don’t know if this means this is the last show or not. I guess time will tell. It could go a number of ways today, but those ways don’t include Mike or Tiffany. Sorry! It is nearing the end and I have to bring the harsh truth. The chefs arrive at some sort of fort, and there they meet Padma, Tom and Eric Ripert. Along with them are each of the winners from the chefs’ original seasons.

Quickfire: Chefs battle head-to-head against their season’s winner

That quickfire name could really use some punching up. It feels like that is what they called it in the initial mapping out meeting of the season and then they ran out of time and didn’t fix it. I will help them. This challenge is now called Blast away your Past. You’re welcome, writers. The chefs will have to cook with a secret ingredient that Colicchio selected for each of them. Each mini battle will net the winner $10,000. Not to shabby for 30 minutes of cooking.
