We will announce the results next Friday, October 25. But before you start voting lets take a closer look at the competition. 

Alexander

Alexander Weiss, age 13, comes from New York City. With his level head and professional-level culinary skills, he is one of the strongest competitors and among the top 8 contestants. He is also polite and humble.

Dara

Dara Yu, age 12, is from Culver City, California. Dara’s distinctive red bow is an outward expression of the confidence she shows while cooking. She and Sarah had their hick-ups during the tag-team challenge in week 3, but they won the challenge in the end.

Gavin

Gavin Pola, age 10, hails from San Francisco. He was among the top 3 in week 2’s elimination challenge, allowing him to compete in a whipped cream contest in which he got to drench Judge Joe in half-whipped cream!

Jack

Jack Hoffman, age 10, comes from East Rockaway, New York. Joe calls him “Hawaii Jack” because he often wears a Hawaiian shirt. Jack has a great smile and a good sense of humor. He won the advantage challenge on Week 2.

Kaylen

Kaylen Alfred, 11, is from Culver City, California. She joined Gavin and Alexander as the Week 2 winners and got to do what all of us have wanted to do — pour a bucket of something slimy (in this case, whipped cream) over Gordon Ramsay himself.

Sarah

Sarah Lane, 9, is also from Culver City. She is one of the most vocal of the contestants and the youngest among the top 8. She is young, but she can cook!

Sofia

Sofia Hublitz is 12 and from Brooklyn, New York. When she cooks, she is very focused and allows no distractions.

Troy

Troy Glass, 12, is from Thousand Oaks, California. 

Jewels

Jewels Gold, 12, is from Manalapan, New Jersey. She has a very positive attitude.
