Graham Elliot is a world renowned chef and judge on Fox's 'MasterChef' who'll be guest blogging for AOL TV from time to time this season. Here are his thoughts on this week's episode ...

For this field challenge, we were blessed with another beautiful location and gorgeous day (three cheers for southern California!). This one is close to my heart because I'm from Chicago where people take their block parties seriously. The twist was that this was going to be a block party for all kids, and I must agree with Ben Star -- the image of 200 hungry kids hurtling towards you is terrifying!

Since Christian and Christine won the last Elimination Test and were the team leaders, we were looking forward to what was sure to be an intense competition. I was surprised to see Christian pick Jennifer for his team considering their past squabbles. I commend him on putting personal issues aside and picking a teammate based on their qualifications.

The team dynamics were very different, with Christine's taking a more collaborative approach while Christian leaned toward more of a dictatorial style. He had a plan and wanted to stick to it, which means the responsibility is all yours when the s#%t hits the fan! Christine's team took a while to figure out the best way to prepare their chicken nugget burgers. I was really worried about their components being too dry but when they added the sauces, the burger and corn fritter actually worked out well.

Those kids were scarily well spoken and opinionated. They voted almost 2-to-1 for the Red team's slider and sides. Never underestimate the power of the almighty nugget. That left Christian, Jennifer, Adrien and Derrick to face the pressure test; and what a daunting pressure test it was! Seeing as it was one of the toughest last year, we decided to do it again, but this time with a twist. We decided to go savory which is even harder than a sweet soufflé, due to the oils in the cheese, thus making the consistency tricky to perfect.

I really expected all of the cooks to make two batches but only Derrick managed to get his first batch in the oven quickly enough ... and even he was cutting it close. Even though it's a competition and eliminations are necessary to cut the numbers, Joe, Gordon and I simply couldn't send anyone home based on the merits of their soufflés. They all did an amazing job and they were just that good!

We weren't expecting them to ace such a difficult dish, which means we now need to increase the pressure ten fold. Stay tuned, cause it's about to get real!

Tune in tomorrow night at 9PM ET on Fox
