Is it only me that Poh seem to have aged as the weeks go by?
I may just give up commenting and let Adam speak for me because he is always spot on
The mystery box contains: Worcestshire sauce, turnips, peanuts, wild rice, scampi, eschallots, mango and half a duck. Twist to be advised.
I would be scared that 10 mins in they will take away whatever ingredients you picked and you have to cook with what’s left.
Who will be the first to fire up the hibachi?
The twist is the addition of mini mystery boxes containing something they must include in their dish: figs. And there is another tiny box as well.
And, 15 minutes later, the mini mini box is opened to reveal: lemon myrtle.
Speaking hibachis: does MC have a special BBQ stoker out in the garden, watching over coals so they are ready in case a contestant wants to use a hibachi? It takes around an hour to get the coals ready for cooking.
Oooh – I did not know that!
I don’t have a hibachi, but a little portable Weber for decades (https://www.weber.com/AU/en/barbecues/charcoal-range/portable-charcoal-series/go-anywhere-charcoal-black/121024.html). According to various internet sites, the coals start ashing over in 30 min for mid-heat cooking, but if you want decent heat to cook proteins fast – such as steak, chicken – we use the one-hour timeframe to go from start to ready. AND DO NOT USE INSIDE because of fumes/smoke/fire.
I think the twists detract from the show, rather than make it more interesting. Nice try, MC, but no.
They should have to use more than one ingredient from a mystery box, maybe at least half of them.
Tracy does an excellent death stare.
Top dishes are Poh (thank goodness she was calm today), Reece, Simon, Reynold and Sarah T. Yay – Reece made the edit!
I think Sarah T is my new fave contestant. Sorry, Brendan! You are not getting enough air time
How many times did they say “Don’t forget there’s a twist coming”? It became really tiresome after ten repeats. We get it – no need to keep going on about it.
Everyone was pretty creative and relaxed for the most part, so it was easy to watch and enjoy. Even Poh was calm tonight – did they put Valium in her morning tea?
Reynold is such a class act. Loved what he did. And Sarah Tiong was awesome again.
Did they edit out Ben’s tasting? Is there going to be a Sunday night twist when the boys in blue arrive, I wonder…
And we can’t begin to guess what tomorrow night’s $100,000 twist is going to be 😆 Do the producers not know how to create suspense and expectation? Why are they blurting out the spoilers in the promos for the next show?
Sarah T is my favourite.
Every time I watch her I fall I little bit more In love ❤️.
Don’t get me wrong – I love Reynold. I just love Sarah more.
Well, well, well, how the fickle reveal themselves! Yes I’m looking at you Bobi and Juz. I’ll be seeing you both on finale day 😉
Sarah is my 3rd favourite though. Her food looks and sound delicious.
