‘MasterChef: Dynamic Duos’ Results Tonight: Who Survived Night 8 of the Eliminations? originally appeared on Parade.
Tonight’s MasterChef: Dynamic Duos challenge was more about baking sweet treats than about cooking. The seven remaining duos had to master one of the toughest desserts in the world: The beloved macaron. The couples had to bake not just a dozen macarons, but create a giant tower of perfectly formed delicacies.
“This challenge is taking down some of the most prominent chefs in this competition,” host/judge Gordon Ramsay said.
Find out who crumbles in this 90-minute dessert challenge in the all-new “Macaron Mayhem” episode, and who wins and gets the final advantage of the season, in our spoiler-filled recap of tonight’s episode.
