On tonight's episode of Food Network Star, the contestants had the challenge of proving they could put together videos to market themselves on the internet.  In the first mentor challenge, they had to create a behind the scenes video of themselves in the Food Network Kitchen to prove they could put together a social media presence.  After that challenge, the contestants were teamed up to create an internet marketing video for a Hershey's candy product.  The videos were filmed at Youtube's soundstage, and were judged by two Youtube executives.

Emma won the first challenge and her reward was that she got to pick her team for the second challenge.  That paid off as her team also won the second challenge.  The bottom team and the three contestants up for elimination after the second challenge were Aryen, Lenny(again), and Chris L.

Aryen Moore-Alston was sent home by the judges after her poor performance in the Payday commercial where she was hard to understand.

Aryen went on to compete on Star Salvation against Chad Rosenthal and Luca Della Casa.   Luca and Chad continue to knock off the eliminated contestants in Star Salvation, and Aryen Moore-Alston was eliminated from the competition.  Aryen will not be the next Food Network Star.
