As this week's episode of Cutthroat Kitchen demonstrates, sometimes the most-obvious sabotages don't involve ingredient swaps or fancy equipment, but simply taking away a chef's most-desired tool: his hands. In the falafel round, two chefs had to hold hands the entire time they were preparing their dishes.

"That's so sweet!" said judge Antonia Lofaso on this week's After-Show. But she learned how difficult the challenge could be when host Alton Brown explained to her that they couldn't move their cooking stations closer together. "That defeats the purpose of peace," said Alton. Still, the chefs made it through in the end, thanks to each of them having the opposite dominant hand in the round. "What are the chances?" said Alton.
