The three favorites from each of the judges' challenge will be up for the win while the three least favorite will be up for elimination.

The judges are joined by Wisconsin locals Chef Paul Bartolotta and Chef/Owner of Lupi & Iris, Adam Siegel.

For all the purchasers of the current season 13 I suggest that you call Google Play and get a refund which is what I did. For the last 2 weeks they have been posting the after show "Last Chance Kitchen" with a thumbnail showing the eliminated contestant before posting the original episode. Huge spoiler!!! Also it takes way too long to post their episodes. The current episode from Dec 17 is still not posted as of Dec 20. Amazon, Vudu, and M-GO all have the current episodes with Vudu having the after show.

Season 18 Episode 8 of Restaurant Wars is incomplete! The episode ends after the winning team is crowned and it is missing the critique of the losing team *and* the elimination. This was not a "to be continued* - part of the episode is cut off as the eliminated chef is noted in recaps. Please fix ASAP. Season 18 Episode 10 aired on 6/3/21. It's late afternoon on 6/5 and the episode still isn't available.

Bravo is the issue here, not Google. Episode releases are inconsistent and unreliable; thumbnails for Last Chance Kitchen spoil who got voted off before the actual episode ever drops. People have been complaining about this for years, and nothing has been done, and that's pretty inexcusable. Similar issues occur on Amazon, meaning that this isn't a Google issue but a Bravo one (Amazon indicated exactly this to me, for what it's worth). Direct irritated messages to them.
