Leftover Remix
Alex Guarnaschelli and Eddie Jackson test the ousted rivals' creativity and ingenuity by challenging them to transform leftover dinner into breakfast.With leftovers being the name of the game, the finalists have to reinvent day-old dinners by putting a breakfast spin on them — all while conveying their signature culinary points of view, of course.
Unique Drive-Thru Meals
A new rival joins the Star Salvation competition for the next challenge -- to create a unique spin on a drive-thru meal that will appeal to both adults and kids. Not only must the finalists create next-level road-trip fare this week, but they must make sure their dishes are appropriate for kids as well. At the end of the battle, one hopeful falls for good.
The Wheel of Innovation
The judges introduce what Eddie calls "the wheel of innovation," which is full of everyday items the hopefuls must transform in next-level ways. After spinning the wheel of innovation, the rivals receive an everyday ingredient that they must highlight in an inventive dish.
Keeping Up with Trends
The rivals are challenged to create dishes using trendy ingredients and techniques. Trends are the topic of the fourth battle, when Joy joins remaining hopefuls Yaku and Monterey in showcasing such of-the-moment ingredients as seaweed and coconut sugar. One of these finalists will fall, while two will inch closer to Salvation.
Blind Smell Test
A blind smell test determines the ingredients that the finalists cook with. The penultimate episode kicks off not with a taste of food but with a quick whiff of it. Then, it's all about creating harmony in flavor as finalists have to use those mystery ingredients in their dishes.
Hometown Favorite
The rivals make hometown favorites for a final chance to earn "Salvation." The three finalists attempt to prove themselves and their cooking chops to the mentors in the last battle, but ultimately only one hopeful will earn victory and the right to rejoin the "Food Network Star" competition.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.

Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.
