1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,800
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: Yes!

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,200
POH: Morning, morning!

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,640
LAURA: Oh, dear.

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,480
OK, guys,
today is not going to be easy.

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,560
This one's a two-rounder.

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,720
It's going to force you
to make some big decisions

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,120
that are going to make you
or break you.

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,640
Right now, you're standing
in front of the ingredients

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,680
that you're going
to be cooking with today.

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Do you want to find out
what they are?
Yeah.

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,480
(EXHALES)

12
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,040
Come on, duck!

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,240
Oh, no.

14
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,120
OK, Laura, your ingredient...

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,360
..is yuzu.

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Ooh.

17
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,360
Jamie, your ingredient is dill.

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Callum, your ingredient is...

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,920
..tahini.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,720
Oh, OK.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,560
Depinder, your ingredient...

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,200
..is green tea.

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,400
Ooh.

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Now, before you start making
any grand plans,

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
you have
a couple of choices to make.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,960
In round one, you need to decide

27
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,160
whether you're making a savoury dish
or a sweet dish.

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Either with what you can see...

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360
..or the ingredient under the cloche
you can't see.

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Just so you know, for both rounds,
you have 75 minutes.

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,120
And keep in mind,
if you fall into round two,

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,480
whatever you don't pick now
is what you'll be left to cook with.

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,080
What a pickle.

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Do you cook with the ingredient
you can see,

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,480
either sweet or savoury,

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,560
or do you have a gamble on what is
the thing that you can't see,

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,040
and then save the one
that you can see

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,120
for the second round if you need it?

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680
So, Laura, you have yuzu.

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,640
Are you cooking sweet or savoury

41
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,080
with what you can see
or what you can't?

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Sweet with yuzu.

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Jamie, you've got dill
or a hidden ingredient.

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,840
I think better the devil you know,

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760
so I'm going to cook savoury
with dill.

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,080
Callum?

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,240
I would like to please make
a savoury dish

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,720
with the tahini.

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Depinder?

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,640
I'm going to cook sweet
with green tea.

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,520
SOFIA: We're on the lookout
for the two least impressive dishes,

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,560
and if you cook one of those,
you'll be heading into round two,

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,040
where someone will be eliminated.

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,520
Do not let this cook
be your undoing.

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,560
Your time starts now.

56
00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:59,720
CALLUM: I've got to create

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
a challenge-winning savoury dish
using this tahini.

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,960
Now, one of my favourite things
about being in MasterChef

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,280
is seeing the challenge

60
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640
and trying to kind of figure out
the best way to move forward.

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,240
So far in this competition,

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,120
I've cooked some desserts
with very savoury ingredients

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720
and very sweet ingredients
with good success,

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
so I'm kind of thinking
that if I am in round two,

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,920
whatever's under that cloche
that I can't see

66
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,240
I'll feel comfortable enough,

67
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,880
I think, to make a wacky dessert
if necessary

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,080
to meet that flavour profile.

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,720
Ooh, what a workout!

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,040
So I do have that
in the back of my mind.

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,280
(GROANS)

72
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Tahini, for me,
is so associated with,

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,320
like, comforting, homely meals.

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,120
I'm kind of thinking
that if I'm thinking that,

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,480
that's probably what
the judges are thinking as well.

76
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960
So maybe if I can use it in a way
that they haven't seen before

77
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,760
and use it in a really subtle
or different way,

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,200
that could be my ticket
through to that top three.

79
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,040
Lovely.

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Uh...uh...uh...

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,840
The semifinal

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480
has been a target of mine
since day one in this competition.

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,960
This is where I went out last time.

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,520
It was a bit different,
it was a pressure test,

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,280
but I don't want
to come fourth again.

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,480
I think I'd cop it
so much from my mates.

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,440
I have a photo from my mate
saying - "Don't come fourth again."

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,920
The dish that knocked me out of
the competition

89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,000
was the Forest Floor
by Martin Benn from Sepia.

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,560
GARY MEHIGAN:
The lavender mousse was split

91
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,440
and you didn't temper
your chocolate.

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Sorry, Jamie, you are going home.

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,520
I can't go home
from another dessert.

94
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,680
And, for me, the potential
to go into the second round

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240
and have to cook a dessert
is a concern,

96
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,480
particularly at how strong
all the other three competitors are

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,240
at both sweet and savoury.

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,160
I need to work as hard as I can

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200
and put up a dish that's so good

100
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440
they can't send me into
the next round.

101
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Jamie.
Hello.
POH: Hi, J.

102
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,440
How are you, guys?
Mate, savoury with dill.

103
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Yeah.
Straight up.

104
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Absolutely.

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,120
What are you making?
Uh, yeah.

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200
So I'm doing
a beautiful rendered pork chop.

107
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Render out all that fat.

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,280
I'm going to do that
with a mustard, dill and clam sauce

109
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,320
with some trout roe folded through.

110
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,840
It's going to be super subtle,
beautiful, rich,

111
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,520
creamy deliciousness.

112
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,240
That is the cooking
that I enjoy doing.

113
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,480
It's the cooking that's given me

114
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,840
the most success
while I've been here,

115
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,280
so why change it?

116
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,800
It's such a you dish.

117
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,160
Yeah.
Such a you dish.

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,520
I wouldn't say that you have cooked
an abundance of sweet dishes.

119
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,640
A-ha, yes.

120
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,280
So leaving that for round two...
Yeah.

121
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,840
..and not knowing
what is under that cloche...

122
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960
..does that scare you?
Because it scares me, for you.

123
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,920
Mate, it scares me, 100%.

124
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,040
All I can say is this has to be

125
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,120
the best savoury dish
that you've cooked all competition.

126
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,600
Correct.
You're talking the talk.
Let's walk the walk.

127
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,800
Thank you, Chef.
Good luck, mate.

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,080
I think this dish gives
an opportunity to utilise the dill

129
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,240
to the best of its ability.

130
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,280
It's going to be fresh
across the fennel.

131
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,480
It's also going
to be mixed through the sauce

132
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,680
and provide a little bit
of that herbaceousness

133
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,200
to balance out
that mustard and clam dressing.

134
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200
And then I'm also going
to be utilising it within an oil.

135
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720
I want as much aroma
out of this dill as possible,

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680
and utilising it
three different ways

137
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,760
really highlights
the key ingredient.

138
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320
DEPINDER: I almost can't believe it
that I'm still

139
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
in the competition

140
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,880
because I never expected
to get this far,

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,400
especially for me,

142
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,400
because my cooking style
is very traditional.

143
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,000
When it comes to really highlighting
an ingredient,

144
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800
I find that really difficult,

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,880
but getting to
this stage of the competition,

146
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,920
I've had
some really crazy ingredients

147
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,280
thrown at me -

148
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:54,400
you know, the green ants
at Vue De Monde...

149
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160
..Andy's Everything Mystery Box,

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,840
and I've learned how to pivot,

151
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,880
and the last couple of weeks
have really shaped that for me.

152
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,520
So I've got green tea,
which is the sencha tea.

153
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,760
I've never used green tea
in a dessert setting,

154
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,520
but I think I can do something
with this.

155
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400
It looks and smells
exactly like matcha,

156
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,120
so I'm going to go
matcha vibes today.

157
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280
I'm going to be doing
kind of like a bit of a twist

158
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,440
on an Indian dessert.

159
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,840
So this is called ghevar.

160
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,120
It's a really cool dessert

161
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,200
because it looks like
a bit of a honeycomb.

162
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,880
I'm actually trying

163
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,480
to infuse some sencha
into the ghevar itself,

164
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,000
but I'm also going to do like

165
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,480
a sencha ice-cream
and little bits of cake.

166
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,520
I'm going to pair this flavour
with some lemon curd,

167
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880
just to kind of accentuate
the sencha

168
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,600
and kind of break it up
as well a little bit.

169
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,840
I've made ghevar before.

170
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,640
It was my signature dish
that got me

171
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,600
into this competition
back in my season,

172
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,840
but what I'm doing today
is different to that, because I made

173
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,320
a very traditional version
of ghevar,

174
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,160
and this is a massive reinvention.

175
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,520
I just want to do it right.
I want to do it justice.

176
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,800
I promised a honeycomb,

177
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760
and I'm going to make sure
it looks like one.

178
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,120
I have never been
in a round two cook

179
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,760
so far in the competition,

180
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,760
so I'm going to try my best
to get a top dish,

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,960
because at this point,
if you're not a top dish,

182
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,880
you're automatically a bottom.

183
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,600
CALLUM: When I think of tahini,

184
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,880
all the things that come to mind
are really big, bold flavours.

185
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160
But I kind of think
that if I can show the judges today,

186
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,120
maybe that you can use tahini
in a way that's really, like, subtle

187
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,360
and elegant and fragrant,

188
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,760
it's going to put me
in really good stead

189
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,840
for winning the challenge.

190
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,440
I'm going to be doing
barbecued calamari.

191
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,960
I'm going to do it
with potato noodles

192
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,680
that are tossed through
a parsley puree,

193
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,160
and I'm going to make
a chicken and ginger sauce

194
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,320
to kind of bring it all together.

195
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
This is not how most people
use tahini,

196
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640
so it's a risk,
but a risk I'm willing to take.

197
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,440
I'm just gonna have
to do my absolute best

198
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,400
to kind of wrangle
that flavour profile,

199
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,960
make sure I can tame the beast.

200
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,040
Listen up! This is your ticket
to the semifinal!

201
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360
You have 45 minutes to go!

202
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,240
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

203
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,200
POH: Hello, Laura.
LAURA: Hi.

204
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Laura.
Hello.

205
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,680
Sweet yuzu.
Sweet yuzu, yep.

206
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:23,920
Tell us what you're making.
So I'm going to do
a yuzu and coconut dessert.

207
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,720
It's going to be, like,
the different textures

208
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,840
of both the yuzu and the coconut.

209
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,040
So there's going to be
a coconut dacquoise

210
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,320
soaked in yuzu liqueur.

211
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,080
And then on top of that,
I'm going to have, like,

212
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000
almost like
a whipped yuzu jam kind of cream,

213
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,760
some macerated fresh yuzu,
fresh coconut, diced.

214
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,240
I want it to be like
a super refreshing,

215
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
almost like
palate cleanser-style dessert.

216
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Right.
Yep.

217
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Ice-cream?
Coconut sorbet.

218
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,360
So, like,
more coconut water kind of sorbet,

219
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320
so it's, like, super fresh.

220
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,520
How come you went sweet?

221
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Um, I think usually
I could have gone both ways,

222
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,120
and I just refused to think about
what was under that second cloche,

223
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880
so I was just kind of like,
"Cool, let's go dessert."

224
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,680
I know that yuzu and coconut
go together.

225
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,080
Yeah, yeah. We've seen these types
of plated desserts before, right?

226
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,680
Yeah.
Like, a cake base.

227
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,920
You're using a dacquoise
and then, like, you know,

228
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,240
your little frozen elements.
Yeah.

229
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,840
So, like, this needs to be perfect.

230
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,800
100%.

231
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,600
Top three is on the line today.

232
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Poh and Andy seem concerned
that I'm playing it safe,

233
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,720
and that's terrifying.

234
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,320
There's four of us in round one.
Two need to go into round two.

235
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,360
Even if my dish is great,
it may not be enough.

236
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,560
I still could go into round two
off a great dish.

237
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,080
So all these things
are playing in my head.

238
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,640
I'm thinking maybe
I haven't made the right decision.

239
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,320
I love this, OK,
for a couple of reasons,

240
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640
the first one being
three out of our four contestants

241
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,680
are not even thinking
about round two.

242
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,880
Guess who that one person
that's thinking about round two was?

243
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Callum.
Ding-ding, ding-ding!

244

(JUDGES LAUGH)

245
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760
He's at least kind of strategized
with himself...

246
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Mm.
..whereas the other three...

247
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,080
Yeah.

248
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920
..they're just like,
"Round one or nothing."

249
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,400
It's a huge gamble.

250
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200
Jamie ended up with dill.

251
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Is it a good DILL or not?
I don't know. Ha-ha!

252
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,800
He's using pork,

253
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,480
and he's going to try
to match it with some clams,

254
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,920
and he's going to try to use
or introduce the dill as a dressing.

255
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,720
The sauce
has to be unbelievably balanced.

256
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,560
The whole dish
has to be unbelievably balanced.
Yeah.

257
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,880
He just can't afford
to be in round two

258
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,800
cooking a dessert
with an unknown ingredient.

259
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,280
We've seen maybe one or two desserts
the whole season.

260
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Yeah.
That's tough.

261
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,880
I hope you made the right decision!
30 minutes to go!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,000
CALLUM: Let's go.

264
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720
I've got my tahini sauce
in the pressure cooker.

265
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,080
I'm getting my potato noodles
in as we speak.

266
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,560
I've got my chicken skin,
it's almost done.

267
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:22,640
I've got my calamari
just about to be cooked.

268
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,720
But right now I need

269
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,320
to focus on making
this beautiful parsley puree.

270
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Because tahini is such
a savoury kind of flavour profile,

271
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,400
it needs freshness with it as well.

272
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
So the idea
of having this parsley puree,

273
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,440
it's just going to refresh
the whole dish.

274
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,760
I reckon doing something weird
gives me a chance of hitting

275
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
that top two today
and being safe from the next round.

00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Ow. Old man noises. Ah!

278
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,600

My dill oil - finished.

280
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,800
I've got my clams
and that's going to come in

281
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,800
to be part
of my dill sauce as well.

282
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,440
I've got my stock reducing.

283
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,840
Cooking that pork perfectly

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,960
is the most difficult thing
I need to do today.

285
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,280
Yum, yum.

286
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,920
I want to cook it nice and slowly,

287
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,360
really render down as much
of that fat cap as possible,

288
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280
which gives us
a beautiful, sweet note.

289
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,320
So I need to make sure
that not only is it flavourful,

290
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,960
but it's actually just cooked.

291
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,400
DEPINDER: Never been so stressed.

292
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000
My sponge comes out of the oven.
It looks beautiful.

293
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,560
OK, that's definitely worked.

294
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,640
Green tea ice-cream,
it's in the churner.

295

JEANÐCHRISTOPHE:
Do you like the colour?

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,040
Yes, yes.
Well done.

297
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Yeah, it looks like
a green tea ice-cream.

298
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,600
Tasting the ice-cream,

299
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,280
it's got
just the right amount of green tea.

300
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640
But I'm actually feeling
really stressed

301
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,960
because I need
to get this ghevar started.

302
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
This is my main element,
which is the ghevar itself.

303
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,000
So I'm just going to make
the batter now.

304
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920
As soon as the batter is chilled,
I'm going to start frying it,

305
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,840
because that's literally
the crux of my dish.

306
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,280
Without this element,
I don't actually have a dish.

307
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,960
I call it the Indian honeycomb
because it looks like a honeycomb.

308
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160
It's literally just pastry,
so it's beautiful, crispy, crunchy.

309
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Very tricky to make.

310
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,640
The oil has to be really hot

311
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440
and the actual batter
has to be ice cold.

312
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Add the chilled batter
into the hot oil,

313
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,520
you get that splattering

314
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,800
and that's what builds
that honeycomb texture.

315
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,600
Alright.

316
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,840
LAURA: I just need a sugar hit.

317
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,680
My coconut dacquoise
is looking fantastic...

318
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,120
That's good.

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360
..the coconut water sorbet
is done...

320
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,680
That's very good.

321
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,360
..but I need to think of what else

322
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440
could potentially add
to this plate,

323
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,880
or I'm definitely going
into round two.

324
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,160
I'm tasting the fresh yuzu segments

325
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,680
and it is intense!

326
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,280
It is SO sour.

327
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,160
How did you go
with the super sour yuzu?

328
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Yeah, it's so intense.

329
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400
And I'm starting to think that less
is going to be more on this dish.

330
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,920
To balance out that really sour yuzu
and elevate this dish,

331
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,720
I'm going to add in
some more citrus,

332
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
I think, using lots
of different native citrus

333
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,360
is going to make this dish
so much more complex.

334
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400
I know that
there's definitely a fine line

335
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
of trying to balance out
all those flavours,

336
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,160
but also keeping that yuzu
at the forefront.

337
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,400
This is, like, the one day I have
to literally, like, save myself,

338
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,880
so hopefully I can turn this around.

339
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,800
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: 15 minutes to go!
Allez!

340
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,880
With 15 minutes to go,
I've still got a lot to do.

341
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,360
That calamari has to get on to
the hibachi now and start cooking,

342
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,960
getting really nice and charry.

343
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
I'm only now adding the tahini.

344
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,840
It's going to kind of emulsify
the sauce and bring it together,

345
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760
and, of course, hero that flavour
that I need to.

346
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,040
Are you happy with it?

347
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Yeah, I'm getting there.

348
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120
Adding a little bit by little bit,
A little pinch more salt,

349
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,080
a little bit of lemon,
tiny bit of honey,

350
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360
and I'm tasting, tasting, tasting.

351
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,560
I reckon I've used 40 spoons
to taste this sauce,

352
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,160
trying to just get that balance
of enough tahini,

353
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,200
but not so much
it's overpowering the dish.

354
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Yeah, I think it's really fun.

355
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,760
It's different to anything
I've ever cooked before,
that's for sure,

356
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,000
which hopefully means
it's different to something
the judges have tasted before.

357
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,760
JAMIE: So, the mustard, dill
and clam sauce

358
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,880
is glossy, silky and rich.

359
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320
How's your pork looking, Jamie?
It's looking good.

360
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,760
It's just finishing
over the charcoal.

361
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Just finishing?
Yep.

362
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,640
You don't want to cook dessert.

363
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,040
Hey, don't put that on me, Sofe.

364
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Considering the calibre
of the people around me,

365
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,280
I decide that, "Let's elevate it
a little bit more."

366
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360
To really highlight
that beautiful seafood character,

367
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
I'm going to be adding a little bit
of samphire and trout roe.

368
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,160
If you don't want to be in round two,

369
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,160
make this the best dish
you've ever cooked!

370
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,440
10 minutes to go!

371
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,520
(APPLAUSE)

372
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,200
Alright.

373
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,880
As soon as my oil ticks over to 180,
I start adding the batter...

374
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,800
..bit by bit.

375
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,840
It's looking beautiful.
It's splattering.

376
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,000
It's creating those layers
of the honeycomb...

377
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,080
..layers of texture that I want,
and it looks amazing.

378
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,280
I'm so intrigued.
So you just keep layering it?

379
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200
Yeah, and it has to be,
like, really, really hot.

380
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,720
It doesn't taste like honeycomb.
It's like a pastry.

381
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,480
There is a lot that's riding
on this one particular element.

382
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400
How long does this take?

383
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,080
Like, five minutes for this one.

384
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,480
So you've got eight minutes left.

385
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Yep, yep.

386
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,640
Yeah.
So is this your only one?

387
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Uh, yeah, yeah.
So I'm having everything crossed.

388
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,280
If I don't get this one right,

389
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
I might not even have a chance
to do a second one.

390
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,280
This is pretty stressful
because I'm not going to find out

391
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,040
if it's worked or not
until it's finished cooking.

392
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,960
OK, OK, OK. I'm really nervous.

393
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,320
DEPINDER: I can't even see anything.

394
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,560
OK.

395
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,320
About four minutes to go,
and my ghevar is still on the stove.

396
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,360
Yeah, it's still cooking.

397
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,720
My place in the competition
is riding on this dish.

398
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,120
I don't want to be in round two...

399
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,880
..and this is my main element.

400
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720
I'm going to use it as a vessel
to carry my dessert...

401
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,360
I'm really nervous.

402
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,200
..so I need to get everything right
for this one element.

403
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,280
(SIGHS)

404
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,520
And it is looking beautiful.

405
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,840
And I am so relieved

406
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,360
because I do not have time
to make another one.

407
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,400
This is perfect.

408
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,280
OK, that's definitely worked.

409
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,600
Oh, never been so scared in my life.

410
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,280
This ghevar is probably
one of the nicest ones I've made.

411
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,120
OK.

412
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:38,480
That's beautiful.

413
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,960
You've got two minutes left to go!
Come on!

414
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,360
CALLUM: I'm going to get that tahini
sauce on the bottom of the plate.

415
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,240
I think it's got
a really nice balance.

416
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,720
The barbecued calamari -
I've sliced up

417
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,840
and popped that on top.

418
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,800
I'm now going to toss
the parsley puree

419
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,640
through those potato noodles,
make a big nest of that on top.

420
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960
For texture,
I've got that crispy chicken skin.

421
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,160
Yeah, I think the dish is starting
to taste really good together.

422
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,840
JAMIE: I've carved my pork.
It's beautiful and pink.

423
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,240
Plating up, there's
a little slick of the turnip puree.

424
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,600
I pop some of the pickled fennel

425
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,240
on top of that with
a couple of little bits of samphire,

426
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,800
and take it to the next level.

427
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,080
It's got this lovely pop
of saline character.

428
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,360
It's really going to round out
and season everything nicely.

429
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,720
LAURA: When I'm plating this dish,

430
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,840
I've got my coconut dacquoise,
soaked in that beautiful yuzu syrup.

431
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,240
On top of that,
I'm piping my creme fraiche

432
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,800
that's got all that yuzu
and finger lime through it.

433
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,080
Next, I start placing on
all that native citrus.

434
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,320
The coconut sorbet goes on top.

435
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,320
A really good lick of
that Geraldton wax oil...

436
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,360
..a little touch more yuzu...

437
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:59,120
..and I'm finishing it off
with those black ants.

438
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,120
Sitting so proud
in that coconut bowl,

439
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,760
but in the back of my head,
I'm thinking,

440
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320
"Will the judges think this dish
is being creative enough?

441
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,960
"Am I pushing myself enough?

442
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,480
"God, what have I done?"

443
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,840
DEPINDER: I place a little bit of
lemon curd on the base.

444
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,240
I put my beautiful ghevar on top.

445
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,520
I'm going to place bits of
that green tea

446
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,160
and white chocolate sponge
and the lemon curd,

447
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,000
place my rocher of
the green-tea ice-cream on top.

448
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,480
I've made a white chocolate
and lemon curd foam.

449
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480
I'm going to serve it to the judges
right on top of my dessert.

450
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Time's up in 10...

451
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,840
JUDGES: Nine, eight, seven, six,

452
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,160
five, four, three, two, one.

453
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Well done.

454
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,800
SOFIA: Well done.

455
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,160
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: Well done.
LAURA: Wowee! Well done.

456
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,720
ANDY: The first dish we'd like
to taste belongs to you...

457
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,480
..Depinder.

458
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,880
DEPINDER: I don't even know
what's going to happen here.

459
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,160
There it is.
POH: Ooh, perfect!

460
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,640
Oh, that is really satisfying.

461
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,240
I can't help myself.
Oh, Poh!

462
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,240
Sorry!
(LAUGHS)

463
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,920
So, Depinder, you chose to cook
a sweet dish

464
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600
with the ingredient you could see
which was green tea.

465
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,120
Yeah, yeah.
So, tell us what you made.

466
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,800
Um, so I've made ghevar today
with a green-tea ice-cream,

467
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,640
a green-tea sponge,

468
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,600
and then I've kind of mixed that
with flavours of lemon curd.

469
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Then I've done, like,
a lemon white chocolate foam.

470
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,480
We're going to taste.
OK.

471
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,920
Depinder...

472
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,760
..I was quite mesmerised to try
to understand the textures...

473
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,520
..because you've got this ghevar
as the base of your dessert,

474
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,480
and I can see clearly
with the ice-cream,

475
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,960
it's just a good match.

476
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,560
The green tea into your ice-cream,

477
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,200
that was superb with the sweetness.

478
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,920
There is a small little issue.

479
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520
The problem, the sponge was too dry.

480
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,400
My complete surprise to say that
to you because you are phenomenal.

481
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,200
Tiny little mistakes
could be an issue to you,

482
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,480
I'm afraid to say that.

483
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,680
Depinder, we know that you know
how to work with flavour,

484
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,360
like, you're a master at that.

485
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:46,320
You had the perfect amount
of green tea in there.

486
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,320
I loved the Indian honeycomb,

487
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,440
but the sponge,

488
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,000
I do feel like green tea
has just sucked up all

489
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,760
the moisture in that,
so it's not as velvety and moist.

490
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

491
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,880
I am so gutted.

492
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,080
I've put everything into this today,

493
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,920
and I know little errors
or mistakes

494
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,160
can send you into the second round,
so I'm so nervous.

495
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Callum.

496
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,640
CALLUM: This is intense right now.

497
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Such an unusual way of using tahini.

498
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Like, this is the dish that's either
going to send me into the top three,

499
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920
or potentially send me home
if I end up in round two.

500
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,400
So there's a lot riding on it.

501
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,520
Callum, you chose the ingredient
you could see - which was tahini -

502
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,760
and then you chose to cook savoury.
What did you make?

503
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,800
So I've done grilled calamari

504
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,400
with potato noodles
in a parsley puree.

505
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,400
Add tahini and chicken sauce,

506
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,120
crispy chicken skin,

507
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,040
And then there's Aleppo za'atar
on the top.

508
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Shall we dig in?
Please.

509
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,040
Callum...

510
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,200
..you chose to go really
subtle with the tahini,

511
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,400
and I think...

512
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,680
..you've totally owned
this challenge.

513
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,200
(APPLAUSE)

514
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,640
It was such an ambitious cook,

515
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,160
that verdant green and brightness
of the parsley,

516
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,840
that quite strong flavour
of the chicken skin.

517
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,880
You know,
that really deep savouriness.

518
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,160
I can still taste that nuttiness
and creaminess of the tahini.

519
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,320
And you've really tamed it well.

520
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,240
Everything is shining through.

521
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040
I think it's such a beautiful,
balanced dish.

522
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,920
And I think you've invented
something

523
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,880
that I don't think you even thought
you would come up with today.

524
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,920
So, congrats.
Definitely not. Thank you.

525
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,400
Callum, this is why you are
the ultimate competitor.

526
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,440
You know, any contestant
that has walked through these doors

527
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,520
would have just gone,
"Tahini, I know,

528
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,880
"I know I can get it in there.

529
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,280
"I know the judges are going to
be able to taste it."

530
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,880
You make us work for it,
you know, in such a good way.

531
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,800
Yeah. Thanks, Andy.
Thanks, everyone.

532
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,080
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: Well done, mate.
Well done.

533
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,360
What a dish! Ha!

534
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,520
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Jamie.

535
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,200
Jamie, a savoury dish using dill.

536
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,360
What have you made?

537
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,600
JAMIE: So I made pork chop,
a mustard, dill and clam sauce

538
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,120
with a little bit of trout roe,

539
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:31,720
turnip puree, some samphire

540
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,360
and a little pickled fennel
and a dill oil.

541
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,440
Jamie...

542
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,000
..building flavour is your strength.

543
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,680
In every single component,
everything is peaking.

544
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:03,200
The pork, mate, it is, like,
out-of-this-world good.

545
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,080
The dill oil is like, mate,
it's greener than green.

546
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,200
And it is absolutely dill-forward.

547
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,160
My only but.
I hate to do this to you.

548
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,760
Oh, my God.

549
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,720
When you combine that sauce
with the trout roe,

550
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,640
with the samphire, with that puree

551
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,120
that is seasoned to the absolute max,

552
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:29,320
I feel like it just tips it
a little bit over the edge

553
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,640
in saltiness for me.

554
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,520
But, mate, it is one criticism
on a plateful

555
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,280
of really, really, really solid food.

556
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,520
Samin Nosrat, she says salt
is there

557
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,680
to make ingredients taste
more like themselves,

558
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,760
and I feel like
when there's so much,

559
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,040
it ends up, like, sticking them
all together again...

560
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:52,040
But still a very well-crafted
plate of food.

561
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480
You still should be really proud
of it.
Thank you.

562
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,880
Thanks, Jamie.
Thanks, mate.

563
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,640
JAMIE: Thanks, guys.
Good luck.

564
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,440
We'd love to taste your dish, Laura.

565
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,600
LAURA: I am so nervous.

566
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,720
If my dish is great,
it may not be enough.

567
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,680
I still could go into round two
off a great dish,

568
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,080
and that's terrifying.

569
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,480
Laura, you cooked sweet with yuzu.
What have you made?

570
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,400
So I've made a fun take
on a native splice.

571
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Um, so I've got a coconut dacquoise,
which has been soaked

572
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,080
in a yuzu jus and fresh yuzu juice.

573
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,600
There's, like,
a little whipped yuzu

574
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,240
and finger lime creme fraiche,

575
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,880
salted coconut crunch, desert lime,
finger lime, fresh yuzu,

576
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,600
and then a coconut sorbet
with black ants.

577
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360
So, do you think this dessert is
enough to keep you from round two?

578
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Yes.

579
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,360
(EXHALES)

580
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,600
It's not the usual "yes" from Laura.
What was that big exhale?

581
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Because I'm so nervous.

582
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Oh, I just want to get to
semifinals so badly.

583
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,520
I just want to get there.

584
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,560
(EXHALES)

585
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,320
You look petrified.

586
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,640
(GROANS)

587
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
I actually can't even find
the right words to speak right now.

588
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,680
Um, I just want to get to
semifinals so badly.

589
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,880
I don't think you need to be worried,
Laura. That's delicious.

590
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,880
It's like...

591
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,480
..I don't know whether you're smart

592
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,360
or make things really hard
for yourself.

593
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,600
Make things very hard for myself.
That's me.

594
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Yeah, because going, "OK, yuzu's
a citrus, very acidic,

595
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,920
"very prominent citrus.

596
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,440
"What I'm going to do to temper
that flavour is add more citrus."

597
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,840
And when I say, "more citrus",

598
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,120
how many citruses are there
on that dish?

599
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,440
I think four.
Four?

600
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,680
Yeah.

601
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,320
But the one that is
the most lasting is yuzu.

602
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,520
That is, that's really, really,
really smart, intelligent cooking.

603
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,840
And then the dacquoise itself
that provides

604
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,080
a beautiful chewy texture to
the dish,

605
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,320
but just calms the farm
in terms of,

606
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,840
well, the citrus farm, really,
it's really delicious.

607
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,840
Someone can punch me
right after I say this,

608
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,200
but that was a party in my mouth.

609
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,520
(LAUGHTER)

610
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,520
I hate that phrase so much,
but it really was.

611
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,600
What you've done is
you've made yuzu taste

612
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,280
how I want yuzu to taste.

613
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,960
And with all those other layers
of citrus perfume,

614
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200
you've just tempered it down

615
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,560
to this really beautiful,
harmonious flavour.

616
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,240
And I love the texture,

617
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,160
the little pop of the finger lime,
the crunch of the ants.

618
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,800
It's an amazing dish.
It's really, really good.

619
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,640
Thank you.
Well done.

620
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Thank you so much. Thank you.

621
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,120
Well, you all decided to cook with
the ingredients that you could see,

622
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,520
which was definitely a gamble.

623
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,800
But, for two of you, sadly,
it's landed you in the bottom.

624
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,560
And it came down to the smallest
of errors.

625
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,560
If I call your name,
you are cooking in round two.

626
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Depinder.

627
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,720
Unfortunately, your cake is
a little bit dry.

628
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,680
Yeah.

629
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,040
And...

630
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,920
..Jamie, I hate to say it, mate,

631
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,840
your dish, it was slightly too salty.

632
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,840
Laura, Callum, congratulations,

633
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,960
you have just made it
to the semifinal.

634
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480
You can go and watch the next round
from the gantry.

635
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Well done.

636
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,960
LAURA: Good luck.
Thank you.

637
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320
CALLUM: Good luck.
DEPINDER: Thank you.

638
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,720
Well done, mate.

639
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Going into round two,
I've just got to shake it off.

640
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,960
I'm going to have to cook a dessert

641
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,400
with an ingredient
I'm not sure about yet.

642
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,200
It's not looking good.

643
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,320
ANDY: Depinder, Jamie...

644
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,120
..this is the final round.

645
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,720
Your last chance to save yourselves
comes down to you,

646
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,240
whatever you didn't cook
with in round one.

647
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Depinder, you chose sweet
in round one,

648
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,120
which means you'll be cooking
something savoury...

649
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,520
..with...

650
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,960
..cinnamon.

651
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Holy shit.

652
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,360
Jamie, you chose savoury
in round one,

653
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,600
which means you'll be
cooking something sweet...

654
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,080
..with...

655
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,080
..pine nuts.

656
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,880
Not only have I been given a nut,

657
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:50,560
it's a nut that I solely attribute
to savoury dishes.

658
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,840
This has just got a lot harder.

659
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,320
We are giving you another
75 minutes.

660
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,320
Whoever cooks the least impressive
dish will be going home.

661
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,360
Don't let the pressure get to you
in this round.

662
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,240
Are we ready?
Yep.

663
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Your time starts now.

664
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,280
LAURA: Come on, guys!
Go, Jamie, come on, Deps.

665
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,760
DEPINDER: I have never been
in a round two cook.

666
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,400
It can be quite confronting...

667
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,360
..but cinnamon is one of
the best ingredients

668
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,680
that I could have asked for.

669
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,480
It's a beautiful spice
that I've grown up eating

670
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,440
and cooking my entire life.

671
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,000
So I could play it so safe today.

672
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,920
Jaggery and panko.

673
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,880
But I don't think
that would be good enough

674
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,000
at this point.

675
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,120
CALLUM: Let's go, Deeps.
I need to take risks.

676
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,560
I need to show the judges
how much I've grown as a cook

677
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,240
'cause that's the only way

678
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:54,840
I'm going to make it
to the semifinal.

679
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,680
JAMIE: I've already come fourth
in this competition.

680
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,360
I don't want that to happen again.

681
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,960
This is my last chance
to fight for my spot,

682
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,680
beat my milestone.

683
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,320
But you always cook best
when you cook what you love.

684
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,400
So the fact that I don't love sweets

685
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,840
obviously puts a bit of a spanner
into the works.

686
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,320
SOFIA: Come on, Jamie.

687
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,600
(JUDGES CHEER)

688
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,400
So I need to figure out
how to play into my strengths.

689
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,600
I've been within the bar world
for about 18 years.

690
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,560
Half of the cocktails
I've ever made in my life

691
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,440
have literally come from desserts.

692
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,880
So let's go backwards

693
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,840
and build a dessert
out of a cocktail instead.

694
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,120
Let's go, Jamie.
Go, Jamie.

695
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,320
Pine nuts,
first thing I thought of,

696
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,280
went straight to Italy.

697
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,360
Woo!

698
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,440
What I'm making today is essentially
a pine nut and blood orange Negroni.

699
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920
LAURA: Ooh, yum!

700
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,960
I may not be super comfortable

701
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,920
with making desserts
in this kitchen,

702
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,840
but I am confident with flavour.

703
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,880
A Negroni is a delicious cocktail
that is bitter orange,

704
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,960
it's robust, with aromatics from gin

705
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,520
and beautiful and sweet
from sweet vermouth.

706
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,320
Whole bar over here.

707
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,920
DEPINDER: I'm not ready to go home,

708
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,440
so I'm going to give it my all today

709
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,880
and really make that cinnamon shine.

710
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,840
Because I've got cinnamon, like,
everyone's expecting me to do curry.

711
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,440
I am doing curry,
but at the same time,

712
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,480
I'm really pushing myself.

713
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,480
Depinder!
Depinder.

714
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,000
Guys.

715
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,600
You're cooking a savoury dish
with cinnamon?

716
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,880
Yeah.
What are you making?

717
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,440
Um, so I'm going to do a gravy,

718
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,560
which is traditionally
a cinnamon-heavy gravy.

719
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,720
Cinnamon rice.

720
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,840
And on top I'm going to do,
like, a Scotch egg today with...

721
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,280
BOTH: A Scotch egg?!

722
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,800
Yeah, I'm going to do a Scotch egg.

723
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,440
So every element of this Scotch egg

724
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,760
is going
to have cinnamon through it.

725
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,480
ANDY: Scotch egg?
Yeah, I know.

726
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,720
Tell me what can go wrong
with a Scotch egg?

727
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:57,880
Um, a lot.
Yeah.

728
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,880
I think the biggest pressure point
for me would be the cook on the egg.

729
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,840
All of your familiarity with spice,
with cinnamon...

730
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,320
Yeah.

731
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,280
..that counts for nothing
if you've got a hard yolk.

732
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,400
I know it's risky.

733
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,960
Risking your place in the competition
on a Scotch egg.

734
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,160
ANDY: What do you think
about a perfect Scotch egg?

735
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,480
Hard to beat?
(GASPS)

736
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,560
Hard to beat,
but hard to get perfect.

737
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,200
Oh, you took the words from me, mate.

738
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,960
Oh, sorry. (LAUGHS)

739
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,400
I'm loving this,
but you have taken a monster risk.

740
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,680
Yeah. It's gonna be crazy.

741
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,280
Good luck.
Yeah, you've got this.

742
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,680
LAURA: Come on, Deep.
Thank you, guys.

743
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Thanks, guys.
Get it, girl.
Smells good.

744
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,760
I think I'm going mad today

745
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,120
'cause Scotch egg
is one of those dishes

746
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,120
that if you don't get it right,
you're going straight home.

747
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,840
But I think
the risk-taking behaviour

748
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,560
is the person that I've become
in this competition.

749
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,320
SOFIA and POH: Ooh!

750
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,400
SOFIA: You got layers, you got ooze.

751
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,560
I never thought I would do this.

752
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,240
ANDY: Depinder, it is magic.

753
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:06,800
When you put shrimp paste in there,
I was like, "This is madness."

754
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,040
But I also never thought
I'd come this far.

755
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,080
Well done.

756
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,400
I need to make sure these eggs
are boiled to perfection

757
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,640
for the right amount of time.

758
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,160
I can't over or under this.

759
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,960
It has to be perfect.

760
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,680
LAURA: Smelling lovely, Depinder.

761
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,080
With a Scotch egg,

762
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,240
the boiling time,

763
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,200
as well as the deep-frying time
together,

764
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,520
it can't be over or under

765
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,240
'cause the egg
won't be cooked perfectly.

766
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,920
They're going to go
in the boiling water

767
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,920
for about five minutes, 15,

768
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,640
and then I'm going to rest them
in ice.

769
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,680
I just need to make sure

770
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,920
that they're really,
really nice and soft.

771
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,680
So when the judges cut open,

772
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,480
they're like nice and gooey
on the inside.

773
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,320
JAMIE: The pressure is palpable.

774
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,120
I'm trying to stay calm

775
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,000
because this whole dish

776
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,240
hinges on getting a few things
done really early.

777
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,240
A little bit of sweetness,
a little bit of bitterness there.

778
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:09,880
He just did that Campari by eyeball.
That's bad.

779
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,360
What are you making, Jamie?

780
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,080
This is a basil and ginger granita.
Mmm.

781
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,600
Does that smell homely or what?

782
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,520
The gin?
No!

783
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,680
(LAUGHS)

784
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,960
G'day, Jamie.
Jamie.
Hello!

785
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,840
Mate, probably not where
you wanted to be,

786
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,000
but you're up for the fight, right?
Absolutely.

787
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,960
You look locked in.
You got the pen behind the ear.

788
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,120
You are on dessert with pine nuts.
What are you making?

789
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,920
Well, I saw pine nuts,
the first thing I thought was Italy.

790
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,960
It's like
what's quintessentially Italian?

791
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,080
Negronis. So...

792
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,200
Can't help yourself!
We're making Negronis.

793
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,920
What are the components?

794
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,240
We're going to have an olive oil
and pine nut cake.

795
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:53,640
A blood orange sorbet
with a little bit of Campari.

796
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,000
Yeah.
Basil and gin granita.

797
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,520
I've got some black walnut liqueur
that I'm infusing

798
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,160
with toasted pine nuts
to give a little bit more texture.

799
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,720
That's going to be whipped
through some mascarpone

800
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:10,120
and then a little pine nut brittle
for a little bit of a textural note.

801
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Whoa.
It sounds delicious.

802
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,880
Back you on the flavours,

803
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,160
but there is a lot of components

804
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,680
to get this
kind of Negroni-esque dessert out

805
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,640
and a lot of techniques
that if they don't work,

806
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,400
it's kind of hard to come back from.

807
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,840
You know, sorbets, granitas, cakes.

808
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,280
We all know
what the perfect texture is...
Yep.

809
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,520
..and we expect that for you to get
into the semifinal.

810
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,320
Absolutely.
As you were.
Thank you, Chef.

811
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,600
For someone that doesn't do
a lot of desserts in this kitchen,

812
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,720
I'm doing
a lot of different elements

813
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:45,160
that all have textures
that need to be spot-on,

814
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,960
but being ambitious
and shooting for greatness

815
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,200
is what I wanted to do.

816
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,440
I'm going to be chasing the clock.

817
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,320
Get that cake in, Jamie.
Come on, mate.

818
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,760
Come on. Cake in the oven.

819
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,480
I need to get my cake in the oven
as quickly as possible,

820
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,720
because I need to take it out
and cool it afterwards.

821
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,400
If the cake's not cool, my sorbet,

822
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,520
my granita and my cream
will all melt

823
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,520
and it'll be a puddle on the plate.

824
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,760
Alright.

825
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,320
OK, guys, this is for a spot
in a semifinal.

826
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,880
42 minutes to go. Come on.

827
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,960
Running out of time.

828
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,280
My eggs have been resting
in the ice bath.

829
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Now it's time for me to peel them,
wrap them and deep-fry them.

830
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,520
You've got to be really careful
when you're peeling these eggs

831
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,400
because it's a soft set egg.

832
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,600
It's barely just come together.
I don't want to break it.

833
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,400
LAURA: Depinder, take a big,
deep breath, babe.

834
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,080
I grab some of that lamb mince,
I lay it flat.

835
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,960
I place my egg
in the centre super gently.

836
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,640
I wrap it,

837
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,040
I'm going to make
at least three or four eggs

838
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,240
just to have that backup.

839
00:41:58,240 --> 00:41:59,800
SOFIA: 30 minutes.

840
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,520
It all comes down
to encasing it perfectly.

841
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,040
I'm going to toss it
in some flour...

842
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,920
..some egg...

843
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,640
..panko breadcrumbs

844
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,960
before I put it in the deep fryer.

845
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Cinnamon versus pine nuts.

846
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,680
Sweet versus savoury.

847
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,880
You've got 15 minutes to go.

848
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,520
15 minutes.
You need to bite the bullet now.

849
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,600
CALLUM: Let's go, Deeps.
Come on, hurry up. Let's go.

850
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,600
My first test strip,
the Scotch egg goes in.

851
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,560
I only really need to cook this
in less than five minutes,

852
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,840
and then I'll check it.

853
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,000
If it's not done, I can adjust
the frying time.

854
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,920
Come on, Depinder.

855
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,160
There's a lot
that rides on this dish.

856
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,240
(EXHALES)

857
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:46,000
Oh, my God, I'm so nervous.

858
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,720
CALLUM: How's the cake travelling?

859
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:53,000
We've got five minutes.
Does it need to chill?

860
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,280
LAURA: Is the granita freezing yet?
Not yet.

861
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,040
Get it in the freezer, mate.
Come on. In the freezer.

862
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,080
Let's go, let's go.

863
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,640
With the amount
of elements on his dish,

864
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,000
Jamie's definitely taking a risk.

865
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,600
There's hot elements,
there's cold elements.

866
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:08,920
There's a lot of technique

867
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,040
and a lot of balancing
of different flavours,

868
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,440
all of which are essential
to the dish.

869
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,960
That's in there. That's in there.

870
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,360
Come on, Jamie.

871
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,800
Jamie really has to hustle
if he wants to make this top three.

872
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,000
Come on.

873
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,600
ANDY: Jamie, Depinder,
10 minutes to go.

874
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,840
Let's go.

875
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,880
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

876
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:43,920
JAMIE: I pull the cake out.

877
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,200
It's out.

878
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,600
It feels good.

879
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,520
The skewers come out clean
and I taste a little bit.

880
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,080
It's delicious.

881
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,640
It just needs to cool now.

882
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,600
Beautiful.
Nice one, mate.

883
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Are you silver serving your granita?

884
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:01,600
(BOTH GIGGLE)

885
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,240
Yeah.

886
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,360
DEPINDER: My apple
and caramelised onion chutney

887
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,400
looks amazing.

888
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,400
It smells so good.

889
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,480
My chilli cinnamon gravy
is going to be delicious.

890
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,240
Oh, yeah.
Definitely taste the cinnamon.

891
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:18,680
I've literally
got all my elements ready.

892
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,800
I'm just waiting
on the perfect Scotch egg.

893
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,600
ANDY: Depinder, how are
the Scotch eggs coming along?

894
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,560
I've got only three.
OK.

895
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,000
I'm just gonna wait
till this one comes out.

896
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,520
So this is the first one?
Yeah.

897
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,480
Oh, wow.
And only nine minutes to go.

898
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,600
I'm going to take it out.
Yeah, I'm going to take it out.

899
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,560
It needs to be absolutely perfect.
Come on, Depinder. You got this.

900
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,560
Yeah.
Come on.

901
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:45,640
I'm really nervous.

902
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,360
My tester is out of the oil...
(SIGHS)

903
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,800
..and straightaway

904
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,440
I'm going to add another batch
in there

905
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,040
because I don't have much time left.

906
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,520
LAURA: Put both.

907
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,880
We've got two. Cooking them both.
What if one falls apart?

908
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,760
Yeah. That's true.

909
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,720
ANDY: I'm super worried
about these eggs.

910
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:06,480
She's got one
that's come out of the oil.

911
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,400
She's got one that just went in,

912
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,960
but I just don't know

913
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,680
how she's going to get
the perfect one.

914
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,200
Like, what happens if the one
that she cuts now is wrong?

915
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,360
She needed to put two in at once

916
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,920
so that she could cut it open

917
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,600
and so that she had less
or more time.

918
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,800
Yeah.

919
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,800
LAURA: Make sure you test it.

920
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,960
I'm too scared to test it.
No, you just have to.

921
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,440
You just... You need to bite
the bullet now.

922
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,040
Oh...

923
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,240
It's a little bit under.

924
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,680
For sure.

925
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,800
I'm feeling quite stressed
at this point.

926
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,400
My first batch
of Scotch egg hasn't worked.

927
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,680
And now I need to rely
on my second egg.

928
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,960
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: Only five minutes
to go. Come on.

929
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,400
Let's go, guys.

930
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,520
I need to cook this egg
for a bit longer than before,

931
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,040
but I don't know how much longer
to do.

932
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,040
LAURA: Come on, Depinder.

933
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,480
Back yourself, girl.

934
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,600
SOFIA: Three minutes.

935
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,480
JAMIE: Wow. I can't believe
I've got all my elements done.

936
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,400
And I think that the cake
is just about cool enough

937
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,440
to get plated.

938
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,240
I need to make sure
this looks beautiful

939
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:35,040
to keep me in this competition.

940
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,960
I start with a small piece
of this beautiful olive oil cake

941
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,400
with plenty of those
roasted pine nuts on the top.

942
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,800
I then pipe
pine nut nocino mascarpone

943
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,440
around and over the top.

944
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,120
That's going to provide a nice nest

945
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,840
that I add some of the brittle
and the blood orange sorbet into.

946
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,200
LAURA: Wow, that looks so good,
Jamie.

947
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,960
The freshness
from the basil granita,

948
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,680
the bitterness of the sorbet

949
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,000
and the intensity
from that mascarpone,

950
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,320
all of these things
are tasting exactly like a Negroni,

951
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,760
but desserts aren't my thing,
so I'm nervous.

952
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,600
DEPINDER: My Scotch egg
looks perfect,

953
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,440
like, it's that
beautiful golden brown colour,

954
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,400
but I'm not going to know
how it's cooked

955
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,680
until the judges cut through.

956
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,080
Alright.

957
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,120
I've got my beautiful cinnamon rice
on the base of the plate.

958
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,520
I place the Scotch egg on top.

959
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,720
I just hope it doesn't fall
or something.

960
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:33,280
It all comes down to this.

961
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,280
Time's up in 10...

962
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,800
JUDGES: Nine, eight, seven,

963
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,760
six, five,

964
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,640
four, three, two,

965
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,880
one.

966
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,640
ANDY: That's it.
LAURA: Wow! Well done, guys.

967
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,520
JAMIE: It's all good?

968
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:53,880
I don't know, babes.

969
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,360
(LAUGHS)

970
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,480
Hey, Jamie.
G'day.

971
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,400
Hi, Jamie.
Jamie.

972
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,040
Ooh.

973
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,720
I love the colour of that sorbet.

974
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Jamie, you ended up

975
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,840
where you didn't want to be -

976
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,960
in round two,
cooking a dessert with pine nuts.

977
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,160
What did you make?

978
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,920
I made a pine nut
and blood orange Negroni.

979
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,680
So olive oil and pine nut cake,

980
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,720
pine nut, nocino mascarpone,

981
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,880
a blood orange and Campari sorbet.

982
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,080
And a little gin and basil granita.

983
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,800
How important
is the semifinal to you?

984
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,920
To making it there?

985
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,920
Oh, my God.

986
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,160
Uh, last time I was on the show
in season six,

987
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,480
I was up on the gantry,
shed a little tear

988
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,440
when I watched the other three
cooking away.

989
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Um...

990
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,240
It is such a unique experience

991
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,360
and it's something
I really want to do,

992
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,280
and it's something
that I think I can do.

993
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,360
How gutted would you be
if you fell short again?

994
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Oh-ho...

995
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,320
This is where you made it to
in your season the last time.

996
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,040
Yeah, I would be...
I would be phenomenally gutted.

997
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,480
I think that I've come a long way
in this comp,

998
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,960
but I'm not ready to go.

999
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,400
Thanks, mate.
Thanks, guys.

1000
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,760
Thanks, Jamie.
Thank you.

1001
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,200
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: Good luck.

1002
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,680
Sorbet is good.
SOFIA: The sorbet is good.

1003
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,520
I'm so happy for Jamie.

1004
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,080
That dessert is just pinging
with all those Negroni flavours.

1005
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,920
I loved
the beautiful blood orange sorbet,

1006
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,320
that little hit of the gin
and basil granita.

1007
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,400
I thought he did a great job
with the olive oil cake as well.

1008
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,440
What I liked the most
is the fact that

1009
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,880
he's actually managed
to convert something modest,

1010
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,360
which is the pine nut,

1011
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,360
to something absolutely phenomenal.

1012
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,880
This dish is remarkable.

1013
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,360
Look, I had high hopes,
and I was not disappointed.

1014
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,720
Um, it was so beautifully balanced,
you know,

1015
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,600
with him wanting
to get to the semifinal,

1016
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,640
this is a cracker.

1017
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,000
Mm.

1018
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,240
DEPINDER: With the Scotch egg,

1019
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:29,680
the unknown
is the biggest, biggest risk

1020
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,080
because I don't know how it's cooked
until the judges cut through it.

1021
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,880
It all comes down to that reveal.

1022
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,320
I've got this dish in front of me.

1023
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,840
It's either going to take me
to the semifinals

1024
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,480
or it's going to send me home.

1025
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,000
Hey, Depinder.
Hey, guys.

1026
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,160
Hey.
Hi, Depinder.

1027
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,840
You had cinnamon,
and you cooked a savoury dish.

1028
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,000
What have you made?

1029
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,160
I've made a Scotch egg,
yoghurt, chilli-based gravy

1030
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,960
and apple and the caramelised onion
chutney.

1031
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,000
I could have done, like,

1032
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,200
a really awesome goat curry
in 75 minutes with that gravy,

1033
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,840
and it would have been amazing,

1034
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,560
but I think I need to show growth.

1035
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,800
I need to do something
more progressive and more, um...

1036
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,480
..that is not the stock standard
kind of stuff that I do.

1037
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,640
The cook and the person
you were in your first season

1038
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,000
to the cook and the person
you are now,

1039
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,360
it is chalk and cheese.

1040
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,160
Yeah.
You have so much more courage.

1041
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,840
You back yourself more.

1042
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,440
It's been amazing to see you grow.

1043
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,880
Really amazing.
Thank you.

1044
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,880
We're going to taste now.

1045
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:29,920
OK, good. Thanks, guys.
Thanks. Good luck.

1046
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,600
Thank you.

1047
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,200
Moment of truth.

1048
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:45,400
Oh!

1049
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,640
Moment of truth.

1050
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,160
Oh!

1051
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,720
Ooh.

1052
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,440
Ah, it's under.

1053
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,760
I'm so gutted for her

1054
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,120
because those whites
are definitely under.

1055
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,680
It's a shame
because I feel like she thought

1056
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,760
that the fry was going to cook
the egg more,

1057
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,560
and it just hasn't ended up
like that.

1058
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,040
OK. Get that one there. Yep.

1059
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,320
That's yours.

1060
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,280
No surprises
Depinder's used that cinnamon

1061
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,920
to her full advantage.

1062
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,120
I think it does touch
on every part of the palate.

1063
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,160
And I actually think she's done
a really brilliant job,

1064
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:06,400
flavour-wise.

1065
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,600
There's some lovely flavour
going on.

1066
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,120
The gravy, the chutney
with that Scotch egg.

1067
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,200
Some beautiful sweetness going on.

1068
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,520
Um, the hum of cinnamon

1069
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,560
is just running through
that whole dish.

1070
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,240
And I really love the spice work
in the...in the farce

1071
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:23,840
which is around the...around the egg.

1072
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,960
There are some negatives. Um...

1073
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,480
One is being
that the egg is undercooked.

1074
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,080
The yolk,
when you burst through that,

1075
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,520
it gives a lovely, beautiful,
creamy nature to the dish.

1076
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,080
And then when you have those bits
of white in there,

1077
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,000
it just kind of
waters everything down.

1078
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,840
Um, so it really does play
not just on the texture

1079
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,520
but on the flavours as well.

1080
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,720
I'm afraid to say

1081
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:52,240
doing a Scotch egg
on a day like today,

1082
00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:54,320
I think that was really crazy.
Really.

1083
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,880
Mm.
Mm-hm.

1084
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:12,640
Today was full of big decisions
and even bigger consequences.

1085
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,120
Someone is going
into the semifinal.

1086
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,440
Someone is going home.

1087
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,160
Depinder, Jamie,

1088
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,880
neither of you have ever made it
beyond this point.

1089
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,480
Both of you
definitely have the potential to.

1090
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,560
But when deciding who to send home,

1091
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,640
we have to look at today's cook
and today's cook alone.

1092
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,320
And the reality is,
one of you nailed it.

1093
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,120
The other bought us a dish
with a technical issue

1094
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,200
we just couldn't get past.

1095
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,480
Undercooked egg.

1096
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,080
(LAURA GROANS)

1097
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,080
Depinder, I'm so sorry...

1098
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,840
That's OK.
..you're going home.

1099
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,120
That's OK.

1100
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,680
It's OK. Thank you.

1101
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,920
Well done. Congrats.

1102
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,480
How are you feeling?
Um, like...

1103
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,400
I'm a little bit, like, devo

1104
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,640
'cause I really wanted to go
to the semifinal,

1105
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,800
but I'm happy to have made it
to top four.

1106
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,120
Like, that is amazing.
It is amazing.

1107
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:44,960
You're alright?
Yeah.

1108
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,840
Yeah.

1109
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,960
I'm not crying because I'm leaving.

1110
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,360
I'm just crying
because I've made so many memories.

1111
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,400
Like, countless memories.

1112
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,000
That's what I'm going to take back
with me.

1113
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,720
All of those memories and love
from these guys.

1114
00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:05,440
You should just be so incredibly
proud of how far you've come.

1115
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,840
It's incredible.
Like, you've done so beautifully.

1116
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,240
Thank you.

1117
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,400
Well, Depinder, for now,

1118
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,800
it's time to say goodbye, babes.

1119
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,920
(ALL LAUGH)

1120
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,720
You should be so proud of yourself.
Thank you.

1121
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:21,280
Well done.
Thank you.

1122
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,440
Oh, yeah, open the curry
ice-cream shop, please.

1123
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,640
Yeah...
(ALL LAUGH)

1124
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:31,080
I did not expect to come fourth
on MasterChef: Back To Win.

1125
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,280
That is, like, huge.

1126
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,160
I will savour every bit of that.
(APPLAUSE)

1127
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,360
Thanks, guys.

1128
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:39,720
You just smashed it. Smash it, girl.

1129
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:42,200
(MUFFLED SPEECH)

1130
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,480
Well done, babe.
Thank you.

1131
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,760
I'm so proud of myself.

1132
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,680
Kind of gives me goose bumps
because I realise

1133
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,080
how much I've grown as a cook.

1134
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,120
Give it up for Depinder, everybody.

1135
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,040
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1136
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,960
It's been an unreal journey.

1137
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,880
ANNOUNCER: Still to come on
MasterChef Australia...

1138
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,960
Welcome to finals week.

1139
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1140
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:16,400
..strap in for a roller-coaster ride
to the finale.

1141
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,360
It's auction day.

1142
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:19,840
Going once.

1143
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,440
Going twice.

1144
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:22,840
Yes.
30.

1145
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,000
(BOTH SHRIEK)

1146
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,520
I was not expecting that.

1147
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,880
It's semifinalists
versus the judges.

1148
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,080
(CHEERING)

1149
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,040
These judges are hungry.

1150
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,440
It's a fist-pumping...

1151
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,640
It's bloody delicious.

1152
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,360
..breathtaking...

1153
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,960
(ALL GASP)

1154
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,520
No!

1155
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,560
..heart pounding lead-up
to the semifinal.

1156
