MasterChef Season 12 returned for an all-new episode on Wednesday night, and this week the contestants headed over to Horse Town U.S.A. for their second team challenge. The judges made last week's bottom two contestants, Shelly and Bri, the team captains. While the two fought for redemption, Shelly faced issues with Christian, who was in charge of grilling the steaks.

Christian was the team captain during the first team challenge, and his behavior didn't sit well with fans after he kept yelling at his teammates. This week, he once again found himself on the receiving end of hate for not listening to Shelly, who was his team captain.

Episode 10 of MasterChef, titled Cooking for Horse Town U.S.A., showcased the top 14 chefs cooking for around 100 cowboys and cowgirls after being divided into teams of two. Their task was to create the best steak dinner with perfect sides that would wow the guests, who would vote for their favorite team.

Shelly and Bri also got the chance to pick their team. The MasterChef contestant picked her team based on the previous challenge and chose to pick the same people claiming that if they could win the first team challenge, they could do it again. Sadly, she found herself in the middle of a confrontation with Christian, who was not listening to her.

Before the contestants served their dishes to the guests, they had to prepare a plate each for the MasterChef judges. The blue team's dish was a New York Strip Steak with Compound Butter, BBQ Beans, Baked Brussels Sprouts, and Slaw. Before sending out their dish to the judges, Shelly demanded to check the steak's temperature to ensure that it was medium rare.

But Christian wasn't having any of it. He said it was disrespectful to poke the meat, but Shelly was determined to ensure it was cooked. The MasterChef contestant wasn't fond of the decision and continued to raise his voice. But Shelly checked the temperature, and luckily it was the right level. Christian then told her that she should've listened to him.

Shelly clapped at Christian and told him to tone down his voice a notch and get back to work. Fans who watched the episode weren't fond of his behavior and took to social media to share their opinions on him.

Here's more information about what happened this week in MasterChef Episode 10, Season 12

After tasting the blue team's dish, Gordon shared that the steak wasn't crispy enough and needed to be perfect for their guests. Although Christian was over-confident about his steaks, it soon returned to bite him. Shortly after their service started, one plate was sent back because the steak was completely raw.

Christian served a piece of raw steak, which was on him and no one else. He did own up to that mistake as well. But ultimately, the red team bagged a win in this week's team challenge.
