Next Level Chef Season 4 Elimination
In a major twist on Next Level Chef, the competition has shifted from team-based challenges to individual battles for the first time this season. The remaining contestants are now cooking solo, relying solely on their own skills to survive each challenge.
The chefs kicked off this new phase of the competition on the top level, where they had access to the best ingredients.
However, this advantage comes with high stakes: based on their performance, chefs are either declared safe and move forward in the competition, or they are pushed down to lower levels—where the ingredients and conditions are less ideal—putting them at greater risk of elimination.

Next Level Chef Season 4 Top Level Updates
In a chaotic and high-stakes episode of Next Level Chef, nine chefs battled it out in the top kitchen, where competition for ingredients turned fierce the moment the platform dropped. The scramble led to a tense moment between Beatrice and Megan, who found themselves in a tug-of-war over a prized ingredient—prawns. Beatrice ultimately won the tussle, leaving Megan with duck breast, an ingredient she admitted to having cooked only once before.
With just 20 minutes on the clock, all nine chefs were tasked with creating a Next Level dish that would ensure their safety from elimination. The pressure was intense, as each chef had to rely solely on their instincts and experience to make the most of the ingredients they managed to grab in the heat of the moment. The competition continues to heat up as individual performance now determines who stays and who goes.
Austin and Beatrice will remain in the Top Level Kitchen on Next Level Chef and return to compete again next week.
Next Level Chef Season 4 Middle Level Updates
In the latest episode of Next Level Chef, the Middle Level Kitchen hosted seven remaining chefs, each facing intense pressure and unpredictable ingredient grabs. After another frantic rush to the platform, Megan found herself with a challenging pick—squid, an ingredient she admitted “scares the s--- out of me.” Meanwhile, Becca was visibly frustrated as she ended up with sea bass, right after having cooked a tuna steak in the previous round, exclaiming she was “sick of fish!”
With only 20 minutes on the clock, the chefs raced to create dishes that would keep them in the competition. Tensions rose quickly: Brandon appeared to be burning his pork chop, drawing early concern, while Arnav realized he had left the oven door open, unsure how long his meat had been sitting out at room temperature.
Despite these mishaps and the mounting pressure, all the chefs managed to complete their dishes before time ran out, avoiding any major disasters—at least for now. The middle kitchen continues to be a proving ground for adaptability, speed, and composure
Bobby, Becca, and Arnav will continue their solo journey in the Middle Level Kitchen on Next Level Chef next week.
Next Level Chef Season 4 Basement Level Updates
In the latest round of Next Level Chef, the four remaining chefs were sent to the Basement Kitchen, the most challenging level in the competition. With limited tools and less desirable ingredients, the pressure was higher than ever as the chefs had to cook like their lives depended on it.
When the platform dropped, it delivered some of the most unappealing ingredients yet. Brandon, in particular, was left with Spam, a tough ingredient to elevate in a high-stakes cooking challenge. Despite the tough conditions, each chef had just 20 minutes to create a standout dish that could save them from elimination. The basement round tested not only their creativity but also their ability to stay calm under pressure and make the most out of difficult ingredients.
Brandon, Ryan, and Megan will continue their solo journey in the Basement Kitchen on Next Level Chef next week.
Who Went Home on Next Level Chef Last Night?
In a recent episode of Next Level Chef, contestants Brandon, Megan, Natalia, and Ryan landed in the bottom kitchen, facing a sudden death cookoff to determine who would be eliminated.
Unfortunately, it was Natalia who was sent home. The judges felt her dish was incomplete because she failed to grab a starch ingredient when the platform descended, which left a noticeable gap in her final plate. This misstep ultimately cost her the competition.
Natalia took to Instagram to share an emotional message following her elimination from Next Level Chef. In her heartfelt post, she expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to cook for her idol, Gordon Ramsay (@gordongram), and to be mentored by Nyesha Arrington (@nyeshajoyce), whom she described as having a very special place in her heart.
She also gave a touching shoutout to Wayne (@wayoworld), crediting him for being her support system throughout the show and uplifting her during moments of self-doubt, reminding her that she is a queen.
