I got to say, I'm glad I'm not the one making the decisions here.

These home cooks are all so talented.

How do you pick only three to move on into the finale?

I think we really need to break it down person by person.

Let's start with Khela.

Khela started off okay.

You know, I remember the ribs and the cheesy corn and that was a good dish.

Then she just sort of picked it up, giving us really good food and listening to the feedback.

The first dish that impressed us was Khela and your fudgy brownies.

You never know what you're going to get from her.

I was not expecting her to make chop chae that Korean noodle dish.

You can see that she's like laser focused on trying to make it to the finale.

Let's talk about Salmah Her food is fantastic.

You know, when she first started, I didn't really know what to expect because week one was not great for her.

The execution is the thing that I have the biggest issue with.

My yolk is overcooked.

She turned it around real quick.

And I love the fact that she wants to share her culture.

When she talks, you feel connected to her and she makes you want to go visit where she's from and sit in that living room and enjoy those moments.

And eat the food.

I mean, I'm really there for the food.

Maria has also had a really interesting time here with us these past seven weeks.

She was really focused on the type of food, telling her stories and being very true to who she is.

I'm a member of the Coeur dAlene tribe and that's an alder plank.

Back home, we usually cook our salmon over an alder fire.

I mean, she crushed it today.

She is finishing strong this week.

Those tacos were amazing and then she bust out this amazing bolognese pasta.

I was like, what, where did that come from?

This was her best week ever, and it was really nice to see her go from somewhere in the middle to the top.

Let's talk about Abby.

One of the things that I love about Abby is that she really stay true to her roots, right?

I made you matzo ball soup today and the quintessential Jewish dish.

She can be so true to who she is, but also show you that she's versatile and she can cook other types of cuisine.

Abbys soft-shell crab just crushed tonight.

She had nice mounds of fresh herbs and the sauce was delicious.

And so it was great to see her put this dish out as her final dish before finale.

Yes, agreed.

Let's talk about Ted.

Ted is an incredible guy, but on top of that, I love to see the growth of how his food got better.

Ted, I love dolmades and this is how I like to have it.

I love it with the soup on the top, but I'm really, really enjoying this.

Thank you.

He wins the award for most improved.

Absolutely.

Because of the strong finish.

He could possibly have a place in the finale.

I agree.

What are your thoughts on Relles journey?

You know, after a couple of dishes, I was like, Relles the baker.

I'm making Manju.

I actually really love baking, so this is nice.

The back half of this competition, Relle has shown us that I can do more than baking.

Relle, delicious dish, I love the sweet and sour sauce and how it's really balanced.

Mahala.

I definitely think that she is a contender.

I mean, she has two wins.

How could she not be?

Absolutely, yeah.

Let's talk about Brad.

Brad came out swinging.

We were like, wow.

It's a delicious dish.

It's a beautiful golden satay.

Listen, we all know Brad can cook and I think the biggest obstacle in this journey for him is Brad, because he just gets in his own head.

The other thing that gets in his way is his cluttered station, Right?

And every time that that station was a mess.

Yeah.

His food was not what it needed to be.

Exactly.

Let's talk about Leanna.

I knew from her first dish that she can cook.

Mmhmm.

Then she made that crab cake.

Yes.

And I'm like, oh, well, hello there Leanna.

Welcome to the party.

I love that you roasted the corn, and it really sums up love and caring for somebody.

Leanna is the 180 queen, right?

She's just up, she's down, up and down.

And she tried to do these really ambitious dishes, and she can cook.

Yeah.

These cinnamon rolls are, and I'm sorry from my English, off the chain.

Okay.

She has so much going for and I think that truly, she would do well in the finale.

Yeah, I agree.

This is a really tough decision.

I truly feel like everyone grew so much and they're all winners in this journey.

Yeah.

Are you ready to let them know who's earned spots in the finale?

I think so.

Yes.

Let's bring them back in.

Yep.
