Hell's Kitchen season 21 episode 14, titled Lights, Camera, Sabotage!, aired on FOX this Thursday, February 2 at 8 pm ET.
In the episode, the final four contestants of the season had to face a different form of challenge when Gordon Ramsay tried to sabotage their food and test their attention to detail. Sommer failed to notice a missing appetizer and entrée, because of which she was called “aggressive” and “frantic” by her teammates. After some time, Sommer relaxed and was able to catch that Gordon had replaced the halibut with sea bass.
Dafne was unable to guess that the number of entrées on her ticket was wrong and had to be explained about it by Chef Gordon. Sommer felt that Dafne’s leadership style was “nervous.” Dafne grew angry at this and fought with Sommer, asking her “stop talking over” her.
After the service, Sommer said that she wanted Dafne out of the game because she felt Dafne could not handle the multiple things thrown at her. Alejandro also commented that Dafne needed to be a little bit more assertive. Everyone was shocked when Chef Gordon eventually decided to send Sommer home instead of Dafne.
Fans of the show could not understand why Dafne was not sent home in spite of her "flustered" performance in the kitchen. They also felt that Sommer should not have been called "aggressive" by her co-stars.
