 The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team.Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple.When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets.
