The challenges on Hell's Kitchen reach a whole other level

On tonight's episode of Hell's Kitchen, eight remaining contestants, Abe Sanchez, Alejandro Najar, Alex Belew, Brett Binninger-Schwartz, Sakari Smithwick, Cheyenne Nichols, Dafne Mejia, Sommer Sellers, and Tara Ciannella, reeled from a difficult day.

Tara addressed her concerns about not being recognized by the group, as chef Ramsay pointed out that none of her teammates believed in her. While her Red team members tried to convince her that it wasn't the cast and it was just her miscommunication that bothered them, she got emotional and exited the scene.

For the team challenge on Hell's Kitchen, the contestants had to make an elevated version of a taco, which would be judged by chef Ramsay and actor/restraurer Danny Trejo. Each member had to pick one of the proteins - chicken, steak, pork, fish - to work with. Both team members got to work as fast as possible and delivered some of their impressive dishes.

The team challenge ended in a tie so chef Ramsay called out the top dishes from each team - Dafne and Alejandro's tacos. Danny then decided he would go with the former's taco, which led the Red team to a win and a fun day with Zombers and Tacos. Meanwhile, the Blue team had to peel off baskets of corn and make at least 100 tortillas.

For the service challenge on Hell's Kitchen, the teams had to cook their best to prove their place in the kitchen. While Chayenne's burn injury delayed the Red Team for a bit, she returned to cook.

The Blue team saw a lot of tension as Abe didn't hear the call and failed to cook the salmon. This even frustrated chef Ramsay, who slammed the contestant and the team for his lack of communication.
