Later, the contestants got an early wake-up call to prepare a breakfast reception for the first-ever HELL’S KITCHEN wedding. While some contestants rose to challenge, others scrambled to complete the simplest dishes, resulting in an emotional elimination round. At the end of the episode Chef said Demarco was given too many chances and Chef had had enough and sent him home. Did you watch last week’s episode? We did and we recapped it right here for you.
