Dramatic Exit on Knorr Taste Quest

It was an emotional and tense-filled kitchen during the last episode of the Knorr Taste Quest, which saw the contestants evict one of their own.

In this episode, the contestants were pitted against each other as they were grouped into two teams of 5 each. The teams were to battle and a member of the losing team was to be evicted

The selection of the teammates was dramatic enough, as each contestant tried to align with those who were thought to be the strongest in the kitchen. Team 1 ended up with Aaron, Patricia, Ify, Chinyere and Chidi, Team 2 on the other hand had Saratu, Damilola, Gregory, Lalu and Tolulope as team members. Patricia and Damilola were selected as team captains for their respective teams. 

 

The battle commenced as the teams were given just 1 hour to make a three course meal using these secret ingredients; Spring Chicken, Artichokes, Radish, Aubergine, pecan nuts and mushrooms.

After a frantic and action packed cooking session, their fates were sealed when Dr Roberts pronounced their time was up. Team 1 was the first to present their dishes, and they had a lukewarm review from all three judges. The general consensus was that the 3 meals presented were not properly plated, and lacked consistency in taste. Team 2 on the other hand received rave reviews from the judges on both the presentation and creativity of the meals presented. 

It was obviously no surprise that team 2 was declared the winner of the task, and team 1 the losing team.

The surprising twist however came when Dr Roberts declared that each member of team 1 had to secretly vote to evict the weakest link amongst them. As fate would have it, Aaron got the most votes, and hence submitted his knives for eviction. One could only wonder how many of them actually penned his name down, as his teammates looked shocked when his name was announced. In the same vein, Team 2 members were told to vote their best, and Saratu came out top. All team 2 members were rewarded with cash prizes of Ten thousand naira each, with Saratu getting an extra Ten thousand for being selected as their best.   

The Knorr Taste Quest kitchen is indeed heating up; will this eviction make the contestants more competitive or more wary of each other? Let’s wait and see what happens in the next episode.
