Episode Summary
Diana, Karlie and Tamara were given the option of designing the concept of their own innovative dish with any cuisine and ingredients. After 75 minutes, the two contestants with the best dishes secured the last two places and joined Ben in the semifinals. In the tasting, Diana’s Thai Broth with Crayfish and Karlie’s Spicy XO Pork Belly with Rice Cakes were met with high acclaim. Both of them were declared safe and advanced while Tamara, despite winning praise for her flavours, served underbaked brownies to the judges. She was eliminated from the competition for the second time.
In the last MasterClass of the season, the semifinalists and Matt set a Mystery Box Challenge with their chosen ingredients for Gary, George and Shannon to cook a dish in 60 minutes. The winning dish was Gary’s roti with pepper and tea pork. Curtis Stone returns to join George and Gary to pit against Ben, Diana and Karlie to cook a dish featuring coral perch in a team relay challenge in 60 minutes. In a split decision verdict, the finalists were declared the winners with their Steamed Coral Perch with Spiced Tamarind.

MasterChef Australia Show Summary
MasterChef Australia has a different format from that of the original British MasterChef and MasterChef Goes Large formats. Initial rounds consist of a large number of hopeful contestants from across Australia individually “auditioning” by presenting a food dish before the three judges in order to gain one of 50 semi-final places. Entrants must be over 18 years old and their main source of income cannot come from preparing and cooking fresh food in a professional environment.
The semi-finalists then compete in several challenges that test their food knowledge and preparation skills. In Season 1, the top 50 competed until 20 were left, with the final 20 progressing to the main stage of the show. From Season 2 onwards, 24 contestants progress. The contestants will then be whittled down through a number of individual and team-based cooking challenges and weekly elimination rounds until a winning MasterChef is crowned. The winner plays for a prize that includes chef training from leading professional chefs, the chance to have their own cookbook published, and A$250,000 in cash.
