The competition is heating up on 'MasterChef' (Mon., 9PM ET on Fox), and as the judges considered who to put through to the final five, some tough decisions had to be made.

Though Gordon Ramsay praised Tracy as being "amazing across the board," she was still the contestant that the judges decided to send home -- but her journey wasn't quite over with a simple farewell.

"We want to offer you a year's worth of MasterChef enthusiast cooking classes, taught by the expert chefs at Le Cordon Bleu," Judge Graham Elliot told the visibly tearful chef. "We want you to go there and use their hundred years of expertise to continue your food dreams ... And you can come back and work in any of our restaurants."

Aww, we love a happy ending!
