“I prefer to think of it not as something to have gone wrong, but it was just an ugly first draft,” says “MasterChef” contestant Nina Interlandi Bell following her elimination on Wednesday night’s episode. “I do a lot of creative things. I write and record music, I video edit, I do a bunch of creative things. I just wrote a book, too. Almost all the time when you do something creative the first draft is ugly.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
In this “United Tastes of America” episode, judges Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich introduced guest judge Chef Andre Rush (“Kitchen Commando”) for a Mystery Box Challenge featuring army rations. Nina’s Chicken Tikka Masala with Lentil Dahl, Pickled Onions and Lemon & Cilantro Salsa landed her in the bottom three with Charles Calvino and Wayne Lewis, where her dish was singled out as the worst.
