On the second episode of Chopped Castaways, the 11 remaining contestants had to dig their ingredients out of the sand and prepare a family-style feast in just 90 minutes. Then the two lowest chefs on the losing team had to face off in the dreaded Gauntlet, which this week featured a torrential rainstorm and a funking alcoholic beverage called mamajuana.

They were given just 90 minutes to dig up their ingredients and cook a five-dish family feast—and each dish had to incorporate all four mystery ingredients. Wow, that is not a lot of time because they could only have one chef dig at a time.
The ingredients the teams ended up with were:
Blue Team:popcorn kernels (not premium), beef bavette (premium), queso fresco (premium) and century eggs (not premium).Green Team: spray cheese (not premium), popcorn kernels, beef bavette and century eggs.Related: Insider Exposes How Bobby Flay’s Competitions Are Run: ‘Bobby Isn’t a Cheater’

We found out during the Team Challenge that Paulette has a bit of crush on James, who then told a producer that while he is single, he's "emotionally unavailable and dead inside." Ha!
Finally, Hannah also shared that six years ago, her husband died by suicide. That's awful. I can hardly imagine anything worse.

The Gauntlet
James prepared rabbit ramen with charred pineapple and burnt leek vinaigrette, while Cate prepared mamajuana and pineapple marinated rabbit with pineapple and bok choy slaw. Cate had a huge advantage because she grew up hunting and cooking rabbit. She very smartly marinated her rabbit in the juice from the pineapple, which has an enzyme that naturally tenderizes meat.
It seemed like James incorporated way more pantry ingredients than Cate did and that's always a risk on Chopped—that you used too many other things and didn't focus on the basket ingredients enough.
In the end, Cate was sent home for not having a cohesive dish. Bummer, I enjoyed her.

In the preview montage, it looks like Hannah really struggles with the swimming and might actually be in danger at one point. The ocean and its undercurrents are no joke.
