Episode Summary
Chili Team Relay— The 20 contestants were randomly divided into four teams of five and tasked with cooking a dish featuring chillies, with 15 minutes to cook and 45 seconds to transfer information to the next cook. John and Julie, the captains of the Red and Grey Teams, respectively, decided to make curries. Harry, who captained the Green Team, selected chicken wings, and Matt, leading the Purple Team, opted for tacos. The Red Team’s Sri Lankan chicken curry was praised, but their chilli jam was over-reduced and over-caramelised. The Purple Team struggled from poor communication as Max, the last cook on the team, scrapped the tacos and chose to serve a steak with a chilli salsa, which was criticised for being a jumble of flavours. Ultimately, the Grey Team’s Thai chicken curry beat the Green Team’s sweet chilli chicken wings, earning them the chance to compete for immunity.
MasterClass: Jock Zonfrillo, Andy Allen, Rosheen Kaul, Julie Goodwin and Jenn Lee- Jock and Andy each cooked a dish using Monday’s mystery box, while guest chef Rosheen Kaul presented her Wood-Fired Mackerel with Charred Tomato Sambal. Julie and Jenn then demonstrated their favorite fried chicken recipes.

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.
