<P> Elimination: Milly was sent to safety first (despite preparing only five oysters instead of six as required), followed by Manda, Barbie, and Elise, leaving Giovanni and Robyn behind . In the end, Robyn was sent up to safety last, leaving Giovanni to be eliminated for putting too much pasta and not enough sauce on each oyster, though Ramsay wished him and his family luck . </P> <Tr> <Th> 258 </Th> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> "Welcome to the Jungle" </Td> <Td> December 1, 2017 (2017 - 12 - 01) </Td> <Td> 2.80 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> <P> Team challenge: For their next challenge, Ramsay announced that both teams would be cooking with three of the earliest meat hunted by man; boar, venison, and elk . Both teams had 3 minutes to hunt 5 ingredients for each of their protein and had 45 minutes to cook their dishes . Both teams had two pairs cooking with a similar meat, minus Nick who is the lone blue chef to cook with venison . Ramsay brought in chefs Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook (who previously helped judge a challenge in Seasons 13 and 14) to help him with the judging . Van scored a point on his boar dish while Elise scored a point on her venison making it a 1--1 tie . In a big surprise, Robyn's elk dish broke the tie in favor of the blue team and they won the challenge 2--1 . Ramsay even welcomed Robyn back after a string of poor performances . </P> <P> Reward / punishment: The blue team went on an exclusive mountain retreat at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, while indulging in caviar provided by Chef Alex Ageneau . The red team had to clean out the dorm rooms and had to clean the waiting staff's aprons . During punishment, Michelle tried to apologize to Elise for putting her up in the Cook For Your Life Challenge, but Elise rudely rejected her apology . </P> <P> Service: A caviar bellini appetizer special was included on the main menu . Later that night, Ramsay received a last - minute VIP booking from Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik where he was seated in the red kitchen . The blue team had a perfect service with all five of them communicating well and none of their dishes were cooked incorrectly . Ramsay praised this, only needing to lecture Robyn when she kept calling her teammates "baby". For the red team, it was the opposite story . Elise was slow on the caviar appetizer dish and needed Jennifer's help in the preparation . Things soon fell apart on the entree's when Manda didn't hear an order of pork for one table which slowed the momentum, and Barbie served raw duck . Things got worse when Barbie later sent up a raw chicken that Michelle thought was cooked . After Barbie sent up a raw duck again and Manda gave a raw pork to the pass, Ramsay called the blue team over and told them he needed them to finish their last ticket as the red team, who Ramsay declared had their worst service yet, was kicked out for the third time this season . The blue team later had the red team's tickets finished . </P> <P> Elimination: After an awful service by the Red Team, Ramsay ordered the Red Team to come up with two nominees for Elimination . After a long discussion, The Red team nominated Manda and Barbie, although Elise suggested that Michelle should have been put up for Elimination . Despite Barbie's horrendous performance on the meat station, Ramsay sent her back in line and eliminated Manda for being the main reason for the red team's defeat, but praised her for her hard work and determination . </P> Ramsay's comment: "Manda said she never heard the ticket that sunk her team . Sadly, she's not going to hear her name being called as the winner of Hell's Kitchen either ." </Td> </Tr> <P> Team challenge: For their next challenge, Ramsay announced that both teams would be cooking with three of the earliest meat hunted by man; boar, venison, and elk .
