Pressure mounts for the final eight chefs as the competition and judging get tougher and a shocking result makes it obvious that no one is safe.

A three and a half-pound peanut buttercup and a too-hot griddle create problems; an enviable cut of pork and a strong-flavored candy are two of the gifts in the entrée basket; the final round showcases a gooey skillet of pink sweetness.

The junior chefs are tasked with creating meals that their moms would love; the first round basket holds escargot and fruit pops; a pricey cut of meat and a gummy candy in round two.

The first round basket contains rock shrimp and beef tongue; in the second basket, the chefs get quail and a variety of tiny foods; a groovy cake adds color to the dessert round.

Creative cheese presentations and a protein spread; a strange pink pickle and a crispy snack food in the entrée round; a marshmallow mishap; chef Maneet Chauhan, TV host Daphne Oz and actor Tyrel Jackson Williams judge.

Guy Fieri challenges the final four with two semi-final battles, where the two chefs left standing will face off in one final head-to-head championship showdown.
