For the final showdown, the remaining recruits work together in a "Celebrity Game Night" challenge to win ingredients before they must go head-to-head against their own teammates to earn a spot in the top two! In their last skill drill cook, the final four cook a composed dish to prove their worth. Then, chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso guide the finalists in preparing a three-course restaurant-quality meal. Judges Gino D'Acampo, Judy Joo and Kelsey Barnard Clark will blind-taste the dishes to crown the winner of $25,000 for charity!
