Last night on Top Chef VIP 4 a new elimination process took place. Norkys Batista, Matías, and Héctor Sandarti faced the possibility of being eliminated after a challenge that involved preparing a dessert. Although they weren't cooking experts, the fruit bowl prepared by the Venezuelan contestant looked inferior to what her teammates submitted.

On social media, many believed Norkys would be eliminated. Others said it would be Matías. When the time came to deliberate, the chefs' conversation generated confusion; furthermore, there were 20 minutes left in the program, which is why a rumor was beginning to make more sense: Elvis Crespo would leave the competition.

Last night's elimination was suspended. Elvis left the competition because his latest album, "Poeta HerÃo," has been a huge success, and he must take advantage of the opportunity to promote it. With a smile and a burst of love, the Puerto Rican said goodbye to the cooking competition. Yesterday, Elvis Crespo became the first celebrity to leave the competition. And so, just like his song "Que fuerte" says, that's how the audience feels, because it was tough losing him, but it was also lucky to have him in this competition to get to know the human being beyond the artist. In four seasons, no contestant had left the project by their own choice. Tears. All the participants were devastated by their partner's decision. Smiles remained in each of their hearts for having had the opportunity to meet him, but sadness struck their souls at seeing one of the celebrities who brought the most love, humor, and joy to the project leave. Chef Toño tried. He asked Elvis if it was possible to combine promoting the album with competing. The singer is clear: you can't serve two masters at the same time, and he, more than a chef, is a musical artist, hence his surrender to the essence of his being that drives him to be on stage.
