Hell's Kitchen USA Season 3 Episode 10 Day Ten (Part One)

In season 3 episode 10 of Hell's Kitchen USA titled "Day Ten (Part One)," the remaining chefs are down to four: Bonnie, Brad, Rock, and Julia. They have all survived several weeks of intense challenges and grueling dinner services, but tensions are high as they know only one chef can win the coveted head-chef position at the Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa, and Casino.

The episode begins with a visit from the show's host, Gordon Ramsay, who gives the chefs a surprise. They will be cooking for Taste of Hell, an event where former Hell's Kitchen contestants will be the judges. The contestants include Adam, Rosann, Jen, Melissa, Joanna, Josh, Vinnie, and Julia's friend from her season, Andrew. The winner of the challenge will win immunity from elimination and the chance to choose their teammates for the next challenge.

The challenge is to create a dish inspired by the chef's home state. Bonnie chooses Maryland and creates a crab cake, Brad chooses Illinois and makes a corn and bacon ravioli, Rock chooses New York and creates a pork chop with apple sauce, and Julia chooses Wisconsin and makes stuffed pork loin. The contestants all work hard and present their dishes to the judges.

The former contestants critique the dishes, with some positive feedback and some criticism. Julia's dish receives the harshest criticism, with a few of the judges noting that they didn't enjoy it. In the end, Bonnie's crab cake wins the challenge, giving her immunity and the ability to choose her team for the next challenge.

At the dorms, Bonnie chooses to work with Julia, feeling that she has been consistent throughout the competition. Brad and Rock end up on the same team, with Brad feeling betrayed that Rock didn't choose him. The teams are tasked with creating three dishes, each with a different protein: chicken, scallops, and salmon.

The teams get to work, with each member taking on a different component of the dish. Julia struggles to make her scallops large enough, while Brad has trouble with his preparation of the chicken. On the other team, Rock and Brad butt heads on how to make their salmon dish, with Rock taking control of the dish and causing Brad to feel like he's being left out.

As the teams present their dishes, the judges critique them harshly. Julia's scallops are too small, and Brad's chicken is too dry. The salmon dish is also criticized, with the judges feeling that the flavor is off. In the end, Bonnie and Julia's team wins the challenge, with Brad and Rock's team facing elimination.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Chef Ramsay tells the chefs that they aren't finished yet and that there will be a surprise elimination. The chefs are left feeling nervous and unsure of what's to come.

Overall, "Day Ten (Part One)" is an intense episode of Hell's Kitchen USA that showcases the remaining chefs' skills and teamwork abilities. The challenge and dinner service serve as a reminder that even the strongest chefs can struggle and that there's no room for error in the competition.
