You viewers decided these four should get another crack at it:
John Sierp (a Brooklyn fireman who's also an executive chef at White Cloud Catering in NYC)(1/19/10- he looked like he was going to be eliminated in the first round w/ some incredibly inedible buffalo wings that he boiled after initially trying to fry them, but he actually ended up losing in the final)
Monica Langowski (a private chef at A Table for Two in Chicago)(5/10/11- eliminated in second rd.; she was competing for the American Cancer Society/Making Strides Against Breast Cancer & was bald-headed at the time)
Gwen LePape (an exec. chef at Frederick's Restaurant in NYC)(3/3/09- he failed to get anything onto his plates & was shortly eliminated in the very first rd.; adding insult to injury, his elimination reveal had an empty plate underneath the cover)
Marja Samson (former chef/restauranteur at The Kitchen Club in NYC)(10/19/10- on that yr.'s Halloween episode, she was DQ'd in R2 for rolling tortillas on a cross-contaminated cutting board, which meant the judges couldn't taste her dish)
