It was another team challenge on MasterChef: Dynamic Duos on Wednesday night – in fact, it was the final team challenge — when Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry took the remaining six duos out into the MasterChef garden for the all-new “Backyard BBQ” episode.
Split into the Red Team and the Blue Team, the duos had to serve a garden full of BBQ aficionados. Since Adam & Joel won the last challenge, they had the advantage of selecting their team. They picked Julio & Rachel and Zach & Michelle, who they considered the strongest contestants, to join them as part of the Red Team and they served as captains.
That means the Blue Team was composed of Azu & Javier, Jessica & Jesse, and Tina & Aivan. Tina & Aivan volunteered to be the captains.The losing team as chosen by the judges will go into a pressure test next week, where one couple will be eliminated in the all-new “Backyard BBQ” episode.
Here’s our spoiler-filled recap of this week’s episode of MasterChef: Dynamic Duos.

Who was in the MasterChef: Dynamic Duos bottom this week?
Next week, the Red Team will face the pressure test, which will consist of making a three-course meal for a triple-threat challenge.
“I am going to cry it out today,” Rachel said. “But then I’m going to shake it off. Because next week we’re going into the pressure test against some of the strongest competitors in this competition and we’re going to fight for [our lives].”
Adam said, “The team powerhouse duos that we’ve got to go against in the pressure test are a one-in-three shot. But factor in the caliber of chefs we’re going against, it’s less.
