On tonight's episode of Food Network Star, the remaining contestants were assigned a theme and had to demo a dish reflecting that theme live  in front of a camera.  The live demo must be two minutes long.  Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee then join Bobby and Giada to view the contestants hosting a segment of a live show as an ensemble.  Each contestant was responsible for doing a 5-minute segment and each had a different theme. 

The judges decided that Eddie and Jay performed the best and were safe.  They decided that Alex performed the worst due to him cooking soup for a summer family reunion, and he was eliminated.

In Star Salvation, Rue Rusike, Dom Tesoriero, and Alex McCoy completed to remain in the competition.  This is the last episode of Star Salvation and the winner will be re-joining the competition next week.  The winner was not revealed at the end of the episode as it ended with a cliffhanger, so you will have to wait until next week to see who won and will be back to compete.
