The teams try to create an exceptional common dish without being able to communicate. Some candidates are ingenious and do well as best they can. Others have difficulty keeping up and endanger the group's culinary creation.

The judges give a mystery box to each candidate for the elimination challenge. By discovering the contents of the box, the contestants understand that every decision made at MasterChef can have a big impact.

Candidates must concoct a gourmet dish inspired by French cuisine. To do this, very special guests deliver first-class ingredients. Some competitors are excited by the challenge, while others fear not being up to the task.
