MasterChef – Wed, Jun 21 – Heston’s flame game
Contestants have 60 minutes to cook a savoury dish inspired by fire. The two least impressive dishes must then cook off to avoid the elimination challenge.
Heston looks so pissed off. Not a word from him except your time start now
Would charred remains be sufficiently inspired by fire.
This episode is all about Eliza.
Sorry, got to go through all the Planeteers. Maybe we should have done the Voltron Lions.
Just started watching. Surely potato 50 ways is right up Georgie’s alley. Now she’s made the edit we can see Eliza has a sense of humour
Eloise has overcooked her bacon…but that is perfect for the burnt theme.
Didn’t look that bad to me – I love crispy bacon
Beetroot and Cauliflower looks ‘murderous and horrible’ opines Gary. That is not the only thing on this show.
Just leave Ben alone. Stupid judges. George is always so nasty. Same goes with Gary.
Where is the bloody Heston? This week he doesnt even go round the kitchen to help the contestants
Perhaps Channel 10 are paying Heston by the word.
Is he pinker than usual? Or is that the reflection from Matt’s musk suit? Might have been massively sunburnt at salt challenge due to his tender English skin
Matt has to act as a mediator for the unrelenting nastiness of Gary.
Arum’s dish apparently doesn’t meet the brief of fire. He is a marked man for elimination.
Heston says to Arum: Explain the concept of fire….
and for me this sums up the entire week – if you have to explain it, it was never there in the first place…
But hands up who would rather eat Arum’s food than some a stupidly contrived story?
Ben is getting better and better with his cooking
I love Ben. My favourite contestant.
It’s obvious when he cooks he’s in a happy place. And he’s more creative and likely to take risks than most
Ben is good – I hope he’s the under the radar achiever who comes into his own and wins.
I am so weighed down with cynicism from being manipulated by the show, that I forgot to register my actual pleasure that Ben won – I loved his adorable reaction.
Super quietly chuffed, proud and very happy without over the top acting or ridiculous affectation. Hats off to gracious winning and a GENUINE moment.
Ben is probably the only contestant left that is actually likeable. Heston phoning it in as usual. Is he slightly drunk? All week he has been slurring his words.
Gary needs to be replaced. Everything he says needs muting, but once I do that I still have to look at his disgusting way of chewing. I have never seen someone chew with their tongue before.
If they want a male winner this year, Ben will be the one
Well the one person it won’t be is Tamara. She is this years “canary in the coal mine”! I think Ben will be right up there.
Fire the producers
Fire the judges.
None of the amatas are on fire.
Heston’s toasted
The viewers get burned.
Certainly can’t say that MC is on fire this season.
I’m not all fired up to watch like I used to be.
The amatas are literally playing with fire.
But we are on FIRE!!!
Amata~ ” The concept behind this dish is, George, that I’m really celebrating the chilli so that tomorrow morning when your arse feels like it’s on FIRE , you’ll remember the experience”
Loving ‘The Chefs Line’ on SBS. Only half an hour, informed and interesting judges who come across as encouraging and entertaining. They actually show how the contestants prepare their own dish. A different restaurant showcased and cuisine every week.
Ben was the only one who did well in the first round. The other theee did fairly simple or flawed dishes
Ben is accomplished, natural and humble. And his smile and chiselled face don’t hurt either.
Can Eloise’s hairstyles get any more ridiculous? Maybe she could help Sarah with hers all over her face.
It is very strange. I was glad when Jess left, she had a similar hairstyle & I used to get them confused.
Didn’t realise Ben had kids. Did I miss something, have they been mentioned before?
Such a shame about Eliza’s dish. It looked great but unfortunately some of her potatoes weren’t cooked.
Ben & Arum did really well tonight. Good on them.
Wow there’s heaps going into elimination tomorrow night. Only 3 of them are safe. From the promo looks like another stupid concept.
Right from the earlier episodes, the judges questioned Ben as to why he didnt go and do an apprenticeship if he is so passionate about cooking ( but stupid judges didnt ask the same question to those sweet young boys and girls)
His reply was he has 3 kids and need to provide for the family.
I can’t bear the fact they don’t ask the kids that question- Ben had the perfect answer that he needs to provide for his family. But someone like Michelle or Callan- what is stopping them?
(a) believing that salt comes from a supermarket.
(b) believing oneself a child prodigy.
A fast ticket to fame!!! Only a minute few did well after MC without doing an apprenticeship to become a chef.
Kylie, Andy and some others did go on to do an apprenticeship to become a qualified chef or pastry chef.
Oh thanks for that. I’d forgotten.
I dont know why I have the feeling that Michelle is very fake. I dont mind Callan. He is still young and hopefully he will go hone his skills
Yep – I’m with you. There is something about Michelle that makes me remember Jane Elliot, the anti-racism activist who delivered a searing “get over cute” to a blonde valley girl. Powerful stuff – I want Michelle to watch it.

Thanks for that Brussellsprout, that was worth watching. And there is nothing more disappointing than watching a grown woman playing cute. I think Nicole and Tamara should also watch it with Michelle.
Doesn’t really matter, I don’t think she’s in it for much longer.
$hine have Golden Wrecking Ball waiting for Michelle.
My take is she is someone who is very aware of their sexual potency and uses it to get her way.
I agree. Michelle’s overdoing the giddy, childish mannerisms – 19 yr olds don’t behave like this. She’s more like a primary schooler.
And you can see her looking daggers when she thinks the cameras aren’t on her.
Michelle’s “perky little girl” behaviour is really obnoxious. Actually I can’t tell whether she’s really like that or it’s an act. If it’s the former, she’s got no place in a competition like this, if it’s the latter the act itself is incredibly undignified. She’s giving me second-hand embarrassment.
I can’t help myself from dreaming a little when the promo says a “favourite” will go home. …damn my optimistic nature that allows hope to triumph over reality.
There’s a Chance though, right?
A teeny weeny glimmer of a chance that Tamara slips on the slimy entrails of Gary’s love and is hastily evicted? or maybe Eloise’s hair product solidifies and drips into her soz, poisoning Heston?
Yeah, do they mean one of our favourites or the judges?
Haha, oh please let it be the entrails. I’m enjoying the visual.
What do they mean by favorite? If it’s favorite of the judges then either Eloise or Tamara will go home. Am I hoping too much that this is the case?
What was the purpose of having Heston week? He hasn’t done anything but stand around and tell the amatas to start cooking.
For someone who has ADHD Heston was very quiet and rooted to the spot
Sounded like he’d been drinking when he told Ben he’d “sshhmashed it!”
Alcohol Deficit Heston Disorder.
Stupid promo – bombshell elimination of a favourite – or some such rubbish. Don’t think she will be missed, nor will Heston.
