No discussion between the judges and Kaleena/Alisha on why their dishes were at the bottom. They were just told they were at the bottom and to pack their knives and go.

Added DiffLines:

** A Season 21 episode involved teams of two developing dishes based on the duality of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture with the threat of a double elimination. Based on the editing, there was one obvious winner and one obvious loser. As a result, instead of the usual back-and-forth between the judges and the favorites to determine the winner (followed by the same back-and forth with the bottom teams to determine elimination), the judges just sent for Rasika/Danny and Kaleena/Alisha and summarily eliminated the latter team.

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowTheDogABone: During the final Last Chance Kitchen episode of Season 20, the remaining two contestants (Sara Bradley and Charbel Hayek) had to each pick two chefs from a roster of five eliminated contestants. Victoire was left out as a result. So, Tom and Gail decided to recruit her as the third judge, much to her pleasure. (Victoire always wanted to say, "Pack your knives and go".)
