In episode 7, A Tuscan Redemption, Foodnetwork host Gabriele Bertaccini and Alex Guarnaschelli handled a cooking duel as they invited the previously eliminated chef for one last chance to be a finalist.
The episode was a plot twist as the two finalists, Natalia and Saba, were ready to go to the finale, but they had to wait and see who would compete with them next week.
Corey and Preston, a previously eliminated chef, battled on the episode, and Corey earned a spot in the finale episode of Last Chef Standing.
Brooklyn-born Corey joined the other two finalists to cook one last meal, knowing a life-changing prize was within his reach.
Corey Won Over Preston On Episode 8
Corey Becker and Preston Paine battled out in the redemption round. However, Corey was the one who won the spot and competed alongside the other two finalists.
Some viewers seemed happy as Cory and Preston are the best chefs on the show for them.
They felt glad they got another chance after they had the unfortunate situation of the pasta queen and backstabbing Saba in the previous episode.
They thought they wanted Corey to win because he was about the only one of them who consistently performed.
While some fans were surprised and pissed with the show twist as they brought back the contender who got eliminated. They said it would be ridiculous if the first person who had already been eliminated won and returned to the competition.
They do not feel it's fair as the former contestant missed out on weeks of the challenger only to get back again.
The audience believed the whole episode where they broke the established rules, then still didn't come to a definitive conclusion.
When some think about it from the finalist's perception, they would be furious.
While they made it to the end and found out that the people they voted off returned to try and take the crown.
