On tonight's episode of Food Network Star, the remaining contestants had to perform a live demo in front of hundreds of people at Knott's Berry Farm.  They all had to pick envelopes to determine which foods they had to prepare for their live demo, which was 4th of July themed.

The judges didn't seem to like much of the food that was cooked by the contestants tonight, and when they did, it seemed like the demo of that contestant was lacking.

Lenny and Loreal were considered the top two for the week by the judges, and Chris L and Rueben were declared the bottom two.  After deliberating between Rueben and Chris, the judges decided that Chris Lynch would be the one eliminated due to his demo.

Chris went on to compete on Star Salvation against Chad Rosenthal and Luca Della Casa.   Luca and Chad once again knock off the recently eliminated contestant in Star Salvation, and Chris Lynch was eliminated from the competition.  Chris will not be the next Food Network Star.
