More details on what happened this week in MasterChef Season 12, Episode 6
As mentioned earlier, Christian was unable to keep his cool throughout the challenge and was struggling to communicate with his team members.
Blue team member Derrick thought his captain was being too loud. During his confessional, he said:
"I know he can back up his cooking, but this is not how you manage a team."
At one point in the episode, Derrick walked up to Christian and told him to calm down and not scare the rest of his team. He also told him to talk to them like they were equals. However, Christian didn't listen. Eventually, other team members also called him out for yelling at them.
Unfortunately for the blue team, Christian's lack of leadership skills wasn't the only problem they had to face.
When the team members boiled potatoes for a mash, Christian added cold water to them, and this ended up keeping them raw. Although their main dish was ready, their side wasn't available because it was raw. As a result, the blue team didn't have their dish ready even after the coast guards arrived.
Judge Gordon Ramsay told the blue team to hurry up and prepare their mashed potatoes because they had the fish sitting out and getting cold.
While the blue team battled a bossy captain, the red team faced issues of their own. Ramsay noticed that a plate of six steaks fell on the ground. However, the team just picked them up and put them back on the grill.
As a result, Ramsay questioned Alejandro, who was the team captain. Alejandro shockingly told the judge that the bacteria from the ground would die in the heat.
Taken aback by his response, Ramsay eliminated Alejandro and told the red team to pick a new captain for the rest of the challenge.
