In the biggest Off Site Challenge ever, contestants were faced with preparing 8000 canapandeacute;s for 2000 guests on the PandO Pacific Jewel, who would vote for their favourite team's menu. Under the guidance of a PandO sous chef (plus an extra helper for the Red Team to make up the numbers), each team prepared 1000 of four different canapandeacute;s. The Blue Team struggled early and opted to buy the help of another chef for 100 votes.
