‘MasterChef: Dynamic Duos’ Results Tonight: Who Survived Night 7 of the Eliminations? originally appeared on Parade.
Wednesday night was the second dreaded Pressure Test of the MasterChef: Dynamic Duos season with the four duos from last week’s losing Red Team having to compete to determine who would go home and who would get to cook one more week in the MasterChef kitchen.
The Red Team was comprised of Rachel & Julio, Timothy & Athena, Tonna & Cait and Zach & Michelle.
In a Gordon Ramsay-style food auction, the duos must bid for their ingredients for their dish. But instead of bidding with money, tonight they are bidding with time. The more minutes they give up to “buy” their preferred ingredients, the less time they will have to make their dish in the all-new “The Great Ingredient Bid Off” episode.
After the bidding, Tonna & Cait had 50 minutes to cook, Zach & Michelle had 55 minutes to cook, Rachel & Julio had 40 minutes to cook, and Timothy & Athena only had 20 minutes. Read on for our spoiler-filled recap of tonight’s episode of MasterChef: Dynamic Duos.

The duo leaving the MasterChef Kitchen was Tonna & Cait.
“I think I can say for both of us that this is bittersweet,” Cait said.
“It was such a special journey to be able to do it together,” Tonna added. “A mother-daughter team coming in from South Dakota, we were able to show the judges a little bit of our Midwestern roots. What we learned here is going to make us stronger. To be able to do it with my daughter, there’s nothing like this.”
