ROOFTOP CHALLENGE

The six MasterChef: Generations contestants participated in a restaurant takeover at Ramsay’s Rooftop. Divided into two teams, the Blue Team (Michael, Murt, Rebecka) and the Red Team (Becca, Kamay, Adam), they prepared appetizers of Pan-Roasted Scallops and Sautéed Lobster Tails, with entrees of Pan-Roasted Duck or NY Strip. The Red Team (Michael, Murt, Rebecka) won the challenge, advancing to the semifinals. Despite losing his captaincy, Murt praised his team's effort. Becca, Kamay, and Adam were in the bottom three, with Adam being eliminated.

SEMI FINAL

The semi-finals of MasterChef: Generations featured two intense challenges with one contestant eliminated after each round. In the first challenge, chefs had to create a dish based on a partial restaurant review provided by Gordon Ramsay. The top three for this challenge were Kamay, Rebecka, and Michael, while Murt and Becca’s dishes fell short, resulting in Murt's elimination. The second challenge involved cooking alongside Gordon Ramsay, who prepared Pan-Seared Salmon with Truffle Gnocchi, Asparagus, Fennel & Pernod Beurre Blanc, Crispy Leeks, and Seaweed. Kamay won this challenge, with Becca and Michael also advancing to the finale. Unfortunately, Rebecka was eliminated, leaving the Top 3 to compete for the title.
