At the start of each episode the cooks will be given 2 boxes and 1 box having a card saying elimination episode while the other box will have say no elimination episode. The cooks will have to come up with an agreement and all of the cooks must select the box they feel has no elimination, if the cooks select the box with the no elimination card there will be no elimination but if the cooks select the box with elimination there will be a elimination cook of that week.[5]
