A double helping of "MasterChef" on Wednesday night resulted in two cooks getting the chop, leaving 11 contestants to fight it out for the $250,000 prize and the title of "America's MasterChef.”

Kolby Now Solo Favorite 

This week's double serving of "MasterChef" began with Episode 11, "Military Rations Mystery Box,” which Grant won. He was then immune from elimination in Episode 12, "Tag Team.”

Kolby and Brynn also received praise for top dishes in the Military Rations episode, in which the contestants had to cook up gourmet creations from simple U.S. Army rations.

Judge Joe Bastianich said Kolby's pork meatballs were as good as he's seen, and Kolby has now become the standalone +150 favorite to win Season 13.

Brynn is the +300 third favorite, just below +200 chance Kennedy, after impressing with her pan-seared scallops, which could've won the challenge if she hadn’t used so much saffron. 

'Breathtaking' Grant Wows Ramsay 

Grant wowed judge Gordon Ramsay by cooking up a "visually breathtaking" gnocchi dish from the rations, and the guest judge, Chef Andre Rush, described it as "out of this world.”  

Following his Episode 11 exploits, Grant is +500 joint fifth favorite, just behind Wayne.

Wayne is at +400 after landing in the bottom three in Episode 11 alongside Charles and Nina, after he served up some undercooked lamb for the panelists. 

Nina was eliminated, but Charles' stay of execution didn't last long. He got the chop in Episode 12 after finishing in the bottom two alongside Jennifer.

Episode 12's "Tag Team" saw teams of two tasked with creating the same three-course gourmet meal.

Ramsay branded Charles and Jennifer's appetizer “embarrassing," and their pasta was raw. 

After narrowly surviving elimination, Jennifer is now at +500 in the futures betting, from +300, and is level in price with Grant and Reagan. 

Sav And Madame Donut Impress 

In Episode 12, Madame Donut and Sav joined forces to form the Maroon Team. They won the challenge, just ahead of runners up Lizzie and Kolby.

Donut and Sav have therefore won immunity next week and guaranteed themselves places in the Top 10.

After impressing with some perfectly cooked steak and a sumptuous sticky toffee pudding, Sav is at +600, from +800, and Donut is also now +600 in the futures betting, from +1000.

Following the chaotic Tag Team challenge, James is now propping up the "MasterChef" market at +800, just behind +700 chance Lizzie.

Next week, there will be another double serving of "MasterChef", with Episode 13, "Fish Out of Water Mystery Box,” and Episode 14, "Kelsey's Stadium Food.”
