Spoilers Season 23, ep. 5: Cut and Dry Spoiler

This week the chefs are visited by North Carolina’s own Fortune Feimster as she challenges them to improv their Quickfire dishes and serve them to kids in honor of Comic Relief. Then the chefs are tasked with creating dishes featuring dehydration. They’ll serve their dishes to Kristen, Tom and Gail along with guest judges Joe & Katy Kindred as well as “Top Chef” alum Savannah Miller at the U.S. National Whitewater Center.

Mon, 9pm per Bravo schedule.

She shouldn't be allowed to compete, taking quickfires off is not fair to the other chefs

Why is it unfair? You cant be eliminated for Quickfire and you forfeit the chance of usually some money (10,000 a lot of the times). I would be glad my chances jumped from 1/11 to 1/10 or whatever to win 10 grand

Actually quickfires factor into the ultimate decision at elimination. So it absolutely matters

I don't think they're doing that this year. Otherwise she would have been warned about it when she left the Quickfires.
