On tonight's episode of Food Network Star, the remaining contestants first had to create and present an enticing pizza with "kicked up flavors" to Bobby, Giada, and guest judge Duff Goldman.  The winning pizza will inspire an item to be featured on Cici's Pizza menu in the future.  In the second challenge, the contestants were assigned random dish requirements and had to perform a live four-minute demo to food and comedy fans.  Bob Tuschman and Suzie Fogelson were back to help Bobby and Giada judge the contestants.

The judges decided that Dom, Alex, and Emilia were the bottom three this week.  Dom had problems again with presentations as did Alex, and Emilia came off as unlikeable according to the judges.  The judges decided that Emilia would be the contestant eliminated tonight and she moves on to compete on Star Salvation.

During Star Salvation, Emilia Cirker, Christina Fitzgerald, Matthew Grunwald, and Rue Rusike completed.  Christina was the one eliminated and she will not be the next Food Network Star.
