Two Sweet Week mystery box winners and the winning team from Zumbo’s invention test compete for immunity over two rounds.
First, it’s a gelato taste test. Does that mean the immunity challenge is puddle – I mean ice cream – based?
I’m loving Matt’s perppermint boiled lolly pants. He needs a ruffled shirt to complete the look.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream ❤️🍦#MasterChefAU continues 7:30 tonight on TEN! pic.twitter.com/XwLhCNbcgZ

I worked at bar italia in leichhardt for 7 years , 2000, to 2007. famous for its gelato {though actually much better, elsewhere). They have new owners now so cant comment on standard. Also standard of gelato sevice by workers should also have been an issue there. Yet they still came, in droves.
So when I see these amatas standing before the counter tasting, all I can think of is those customers that used to ask for “tastes” of all the flavours, then decide to buy nothing!!!!
I didn’t care to much as it wasn’t my business. But we were all encouraged to have that nonchalant
I used to buy gelati there (chocolate and lemon – not particularly adventuresome).
I am sure I said hello, and I am sure you were polite.
I hope so .it was a long time ago. would you believe they did encourage non helpful, non friendly service. because people came back expecting the same service.
chocolate and lemon is a very Italian combo so you sound like a true fan, so you are safe
Wow, how rude. I could never have the gall to taste every flavour & then not buy anything.
I used to go to a gelato place at Circular Quay years ago & they had a flat type serving spoon & you could have as many flavours as you liked. They just put small amounts of each flavour. But nowadays they have scoops & you have to get a whole scoop of one flavour. If you want another flavour you have to pay for each scoop. Was much better back then.
attitude
We never asked for a taste test.
most didn’t, some asked to try all
then we handed it over with no gloves
Kristen mispronounces gelato.
gelato is not ice cream chloe
Chloe invokes the kids….Grrrrrrrr
I’m really hoping that given we are having to endure a lot of Kristen’s chat to camera means she’s going soon.
cannabis sattiva says chloe
Did she really say that? She mumbled and I missed what she said.
no , but she does always seem a bit out of it
Yippee, Chloe is out.
What is this girl power crap?
poor chloe. she really is a deer in the headlights. I don’t think she actually realises how crap she is, that she truly is in with a chance. So does genuinely cheer Kristen.. Perhaps too much cannabis sattiva gelato.
Reece has such a strange combover
reecehas definitely had a haircut, but for some reason, he asked them not to touch his combover
Reece is out.
The flavours:
boysenberry
rocky road
choc chip
pistachio
macadamia
hazelnut
chocolate
passion-fruit
cookies and cream
rum and raisin
mango
vanilla bean
lime
cinnamon
blood orange
strawberry
black sesame
licorice
toffee
cherry ripe
coffee
raspberry
coconut
lavender
lychee
On no…Kristen gets her chance of immunity…..
I could tell it was cherry ripe just from looking at it.
I thought that purple looking one was blueberry. If I picked that one I would have been horrified at it being lavender.
I don’t know if I can bear a whole episode centred around Kristen. As Brussells said on the previous thread “…there is something mean -spirited and unpleasant about her.” i certainly find her very unpleasant to watch and it has nothing to do with her weight problem it’s her manner that I can’t take to.
And she won the htrip to London to see Nigella
Yep, I agree. She’s the first to throw her “team” mates under the bus in a challenge.
In that clip, everyones hair looks dirty, except Ben’s. Don’t they have showers in the MC house?
I see there is a grey or black ice cream there. Squid ink? Charcoal? Black rice? Surely it is nothing as predictable as licorice.
Matt’s outfits often make me laugh. He looks so spiffy and staid on the top, then your eyes travel down…
they do look dirty, and selfstyled.you would think if mkr has stylists, surely masterchef does
Wait until the cook Von, red, sweaty and hair everywhere – not very appetising.
I saw what you meant, Jayblossom. Kristen got puffed running to and from the pantry and she never really recovered. Her cheeks got redder and redder and that one greasy, sweaty clump of hair got stuck to her forehead and then it never moved. In a kitchen, sometimes you sweat; it’s hot. But if your funky hair is pulled back and off your face properly before you cook, you can wipe your face once in a while to keep sweat out of the food, with less risk of pulling a hair loose. Kristen seems to prefer her hank of hair pulled forward over one shoulder. Fine…but not in the kitchen.
And you never, ever run in a kitchen.
Kristen’s a natural at making puff pastry.
they set them up in a house where there is one bathroom for 15 people. It’s really a gross festival.
” Forget the Peking Duck, bring me a Toilet Duck!”
Mi$erchef.
easychallenge.chocolate?
Kristen is certainly capable under pressure
And she is getting the pin.
But is there enough chocolate flavour in her dessert?
oh shit guys
Did someone turn up the temp in the blast chiller? 🤔
Are the professionals throwing the challenges ???
They’re getting into the World Cup spirit and “diving”…
I havew refrained from fat shaming all episode, bit is it too early too say
“fat chance “.
I think they just want to give out as many pins as possible
Giving out pins like Bachelorettes give out roses.
Every player wins a prize.
Phew. Glad I was wrong
Kristen: Homicidal Intent
ha ha ha ha
What a delightful guest chef!
Even the stooges couldn’t get around lack of both appearance and flavour – I’m surprised, however I bet if it had been Chloe whether they could have found a way.
Guest chef was very gracious. It was rude of MasterChef to hold a dessert challenge in such a short space of time. At least add another half hour so we can see some skills demonstrated
The gelato taste test was really difficult. It’s green and has crushed pistachios sprinkled over…must be, um, green bean? It’s chocolately and has marshmallows prominently placed on top…chicken? Why were the gelatos presented as though they were squeezed out of a dog’s butt into the containers?
Thank goodness Kristen didn’t get a pin. Even a drawn score was being generous to her. Her dessert looked horrible, beige on brown, without even a bit of apple peel or mint leaf to add a bit of colour. The guest chef’s blob thing may not have set, but her dish at least looked appetising and probably tasted much better than Kristen’s overly-ambitious failure.
Call me out on this… but white chocolate is really just cocoa butter, milk, sugar and VANILLA… no chocolate in white chocolate. So how on earth is making a white chocolate cream heroing chocolate.
Flabberghasted that the pro had never used a blast chiller before… modern day pastry chef’s best friend.
I also think Reece and Kristen should hook up together and mate… both all knowing, both think they deserve more than they’ve got….
Thank goodness she didn’t win the pin… it would’ve been torturous… and she would of been so smug.
Awww, Reece is growing on me. He seems to have a good understanding of flavour and technique but needs more time management skills to work out what’s achievable.
You’re right. White chocolate isn’t actually chocolate. There’s no cocoa in it. They should really give it a different name.
White chocolate isn’t even food. It is the devil’s mucus. It is vile. My opinion on this subject is FIRM.
I’m right with you Brussells! The devil’s mucus – hilarious cos it’s true!
Yeah I’m not fussed on white chocolate either. I find it sickly. My favourite is dark chocolate.
All those flavours & they didn’t have blueberry? The best flavour in the whole universe. But they had shit like coconut & black sesame? Bah. I went to an ice cream shop one time with 50 flavours & they didn’t have blueberry. I said to them all these fucking flavours & no blueberry, you’ve got to be kidding. I was not impressed.
Kristen picked chocolate but then cooked with white chocolate, which technically isn’t really chocolate. She may as well have picked vanilla. She should have picked dark chocolate.
The professional chef gets low scores for her puddle on a plate and yet Reece was one of the top two for his puddle. At least Kristen didn’t win. She should have listened to Shannon and not added any more lime zest. Didn’t really want her to win the pin so I’m happy she didn’t listen.
Both desserts were fails although the chef’s dish looked appetizing compared to Kristen’s. I’m surprised the pro had never used a blast chiller.
Yeah she had no decorations or anything on the plate. Usually they’ll put a crumb or some fruit. It looked very bland sitting on the plate.
The judging is very poor this year.
Ben would not have got in if he made the meringue kisses with yuzu curd.
Kristen was going to kill someone after that – her fury was barely disguised. How could they not appreciate her genius?
I reckon her co-workers at the Public Service are rooting for her to win … so she doesn’t come back to the office.
As for the trip to London, Nigella’s gone into witness protection.
