The contestants enter an animal pen to determine which type of protein they will cook in the team challenge; during dinner service, the contestants must impress chef Ramsay's family.

Twenty aspiring restaurateurs present their signature dishes to Ramsay -- and an audience -- in Las Vegas; while the challenge winners earn a night out on the town, the losers must head back to Los Angeles on a school bus.

The final five chefs must impress tough critics with a gourmet burger; a huge misstep brings dinner service to a halt; one chef is eliminated.

The contestants arrive at the dorms; Ramsay sends contestants out of the kitchen after a rocky first dinner service.

The teams must create five steak dishes; a diner finds an unpleasant surprise in her dish during dinner service; the elimination round brings out bad tempers.

The chefs are surprised by family members and then participate in a pressure cooker test.
