For the first-ever Camp Cutthroat tournament finale, you can be sure that host Alton Brown held nothing back in the name of diabolical sabotages — not even a pitcher of bright-red trout soaked in an eye-catching, crimson-colored bug juice (read: fruit punch). Chef Monterey, who was saddled with this doozy of a challenge, chose not to cook around the sweet flavor, but rather to embrace it with ingredients that complemented that taste. She did not, however, make enough amends for the sugars, and the trout's skin stuck to the grates of the grill during cooking, and its flesh ultimately turned red.

According to to Alton and judge Antonia Lofaso, this fate didn't have to befall Chef Monterey, as they explained during the After-Show. "Had Chef Monterey actually cooked the skin properly, it would have looked less red and probably a little bit more brown," Antonia told Alton, who added his own idea for how to avoid the stuck skin altogether. "With the added sugar that that soaked up, she had to put a lot more oil on it to keep it from sticking, and she did not do that," Alton said. "And so she lost the skin to the grill." But, Antonia adds, even with the torn skin and lackluster appearance of the fish, there were ways to dress up the dish. "She also had a really beautiful salad, and I felt like had she put the salad on top of the fish, I may not have noticed it so much," Antonia admitted. "I mean, this was just a giant red fish on a plate."
