Going into this week's challenge, the young chefs had a master class on how to make the perfect pizza. With the group later divided into three teams -- red, white and green, these groups had to try to make the most amount of perfect pizzas. Chaos ensued as they all began to bustle around the kitchen -- after all, the top two teams with the perfect pizzas would be exempt from elimination. When it came to inspection, the judges found out that the red and green teams had the most number of well down pizzas, at 12 and 11 pizzas, respectively. This meant that the white team, with ten pizzas, would have to go into elimination.
As the white team members A'dan, Ivy, Tegan, Freddy and Liya got ready for the elimination challenge, they realized that they would be taking on the first mystery box challenge of the season. As they lifted the boxes, they found blindfolds -- the challenge was a blind taste test. First, the chefs had to recreate a Michelin star dish made by Gordon -- a pan-seared salmon with a cauliflower couscous with apples and golden raisins and a brown butter caper sauce. Then, they had to recreate the dish based on what they tasted. When it came down to dishes, the judges were blown away by Ivy's recreation, seeing that she nailed most of the dish, including the presentation.
Gordon Ramsay even noted that 8- year-old was 'tiny and one of the youngest' but was 'packing a punch'. Fans also agreed with Gordon. "Ivy outstanding visual dish wow #MasterChef #MasterChefJr" tweeted a fan. "@MasterChefJrFOX Oh that Ivy …She is so stinking cute!!!! Love those pearls! Hang in there Sweetie! You got this! #MasterChefJr" added a fan. "This tiny human is wearing pearls and making perfect salmon Im judging my children right now! #MasterChef #masterchefjr" joked another.
