Fans react to MasterChef Junior contestant A'Dan Lisaula's attitude

In this week's challenge, the contestants had to make Jalapeno Poppers within 15 minutes to gain immunity. They were split into three teams, and each team consisted of three contestants. While some worked really well together, A'Dan kept screaming at his teammates and comparing them to the other teams.

He also failed to be a team player in the previous episode when he kept arguing with fellow contestant Abir Bhatia.

A recap of MasterChef Junior Season 8 Episode 8

Episode 8 of MasterChef Junior aired on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 8.00 pm ET on Fox. This time, the young chefs were challenged to a simple but delicious cooking challenge with the classic twists and turns that the franchise is known for. While some completed their tasks in a satisfactory manner, others didn't function well under pressure.

The official synopsis of the episode titled Junior Edition: Jalapeno Edition reads:

"The nine remaining junior chefs create one of the most popular fried, feisty, and spicy finger foods."

Last week's episode of MasterChef Junior tasked the young chefs with making food for a large number of people. Both the contestants' communication skills and ability to lead a team were put to the test. The chefs were divided into two teams of five, and they wanted Abir and Molly to step up as leaders.

After the teams were decided on, they were taken to a secret destination in a monster truck. The challenge was to cook a big hearty meal for 51 racers and audience members (a total of 100 people). This was when Gordon Ramsay revealed a major twist. The team leaders, who had picked the teams they were comfortable with, would be required to switch teams.

The Red Team made their own version of steak, and the Blue Team made veal chops. Both teams faced challenges in terms of coordination and presentation. However, they managed to complete the challenge successfully.

The judges preferred the Red Team's dish, which meant that someone from the Blue Team would be eliminated. Starla didn't do a good job with the role she was assigned and had to head home. She revealed that she would continue to cook and improve her skill. Starla elaborated on her plans to start her own food truck called Starla's Snacks, and she was also looking forward to publishing a cookbook.
