Overview
- Production’s horror-themed round dealt crickets or beetle larvae under 60‑minute mystery-box rules, and some contestants refused to taste the insects on camera.
- Jorge “Turco” Husaín won a draft‑beer mini‑challenge and used his perk to keep larvae and swap assignments between La Reini and Susana Roccasalvo.
- An unusual on‑air argument saw Germán Martitegui and Damián Betular disagree over knife sharpness, lettuce oxidation and cutting technique.
- Judges picked La Reini, Agustín “Cachete” Sierra and Roccasalvo as the top dishes, sending Marixa Balli, Husaín and Chino Leunis to última chance as Balli said harsh feedback killed her desire to cook.
- In the next episode, the week continued with giant panopea clams, where Maxi López, Ian Lucas and La Joaqui advanced to benefits and the rest headed to última chance.
