Although their day ended with a surprise live audience greeting them in the kitchen, fans loved watching chef Ramsay prank the Top 3. One tweeted:
Season 21 of the hit cooking competition series has been extremely popular amongst the audience. The show began with 18 contestants battling it out but now only four remain. As the season inches closer to the end, they will ensure that they present their best creations to earn the win. It will be interesting to see who takes the title and becomes the head chef of Caesars, Atlantic City.
Chef Ramsay pranks the final 3 contestants on Hell's Kitchen
Tonight's episode of Hell's Kitchen began with the Top 3 chefs, Alex, Dafne, and Alejandro, competing for one last time to take the title home. After Sommer's elimination last week, the remaining contestants reflected on their journey and got ready to give it their all in the final challenge.
Ahead of the task the following morning, chef Ramsay assigned them three sous chefs to help them create their own three-course menu. The finalists, along with their aides, decided to create a menu that displayed their strongest skills.
While Alejandro stuck to Middle Eastern and Asian food, Dafne went with the specialization of Italian cuisine, and Alex decided to bring Tennesse influence to the menu.
The following morning on Hell's Kitchen, chef Ramsay called the Top 3 to the patio for an announcement. The host sent the contestants out for a day of relaxation. The chefs enjoyed a day of sound bathing, an exotic dinner with chef Ramsay, and a tour of big dinner rooms. They expected either their family to appear or get a big surprise, but the host played along and showed them into empty rooms.
The contestants were only led to larger rooms and were disappointed to see it empty. Alejandro noted that they were being "bamboozled" by chef Ramsay. While they maintained composure, they confessed to seeing previous Hell's Kitchen seasons, expecting a large-scale surprise and an audience.
The day ended with a surprise back at the kitchen as the finalists returned to a room filled with live audience and fellow contestants from Season 21.
